Brutal Hike of Thick Scrub on The Fincham Track 

Well done Rob,another epic clip.When the Raglan track was open to vehicles a mate lost his 75 series Landcruiser flat tray up there,it caught fire and totaled it.They recovered the wreck and bought it back to Hobart.Also your Jane river clip was a bit sad, in the visitors book at Benettos hut two of my mates left messages,Bishac and Peter.Sadly Peter passed away about 15 years ago,he was only 54.Keep the clips coming mate,they are brilliant.

One of the best things done in this adventure was being man enough to call for help instead of having false bravado of doing it yourself. It should take away the fears of any beginner trekker that if you need to use the epirb....do it. Sweet hut. Thanks for the journey. Cheers!

Loved watching this Rob ! I was last in there in 1990 or 91 just before the Raglan track was closed. Amazing how overgrown it is now. Another wild walk you could do is to follow the surveyed (and partially built/ cleared) road from mt Mc Cutcheon HEC work camp site out to Warners Landing on the Gordon river. Probably best to arrange a boat pickup at the Warners end though. Would love to go myself but worn out knees wont allow that... great work mate !!

Hi Rob. I felt your pain on this trip which I did with 18 HWC members in December 1979. It was a wet miserable experience .We managed to get 12 people into the current Hut, 3 into an old leaking Hut and 3 of us camped on the Helipad for a most uncomfortable night in our old Paddy Pallin Japara Tents with no built in groundsheet. Sweet Memories for this old Fellow. Another great presentation of yours. Looking forward to the next one.🤠

Well done, looks a bit different to when I rode the Raglan track on my mountain bike back in 1989.

Great hike Rob. As usual, you take us to places that we cannot go ourselves. Very enjoyable

Never thought I’d say this but better than your cave vid. Incredible effort mate. Thanks for sharing something many people will never consider let alone do. Risk nothing...

Epic journey there Mate!! You haven't bush walked in Tassie if you haven't come across horizontal scrub and cut grass, snow, ice. It can be quite brutal, hey! Great views of the Du Cane Range too!! Awesome Rob!

Epic is an understatement, awesome story. I was only taking the piss a few vids ago when I told you to just grab the chopper home....it’s free. Great vid, tunes, drone footage and story as normal. Every thought about joining the SES search and rescue team? You would be an asset to the crew, they meet at Devonport for training

Reinforcing a few lessons for me. Never attach anything to outside of pack or use open pockets in scrub. Always take a laminated map (plus spare) and compass. Given it's out and back, solo, and obviously full-on scrub bashing, several good reasons to use track tape. A 5l cask water bladder weighs nothing.

Once again you have shown me some great places that most will never see loved the eagle bit we have a pair that nest on our farm and every year I watch them as they teach their young to hunt beautiful birds in flight

What a beaut film, really enjoyed it and how you captured the whole feel. Thanks mate.

intestinal fortitude,you have it in spades,,savor the spoils,,,yesterdays gone,,todays done,,,tomorows another adventure look forward to the merchandise

Fantastic Rob. Absolute legend mate. Thank you for taking us on another journey.

Nice one mate, loved coming along the ride with you! I’m moving to Tassie later this year, can’t wait to experience some of these wild places! Cheers

You might have had to use your epirb, but thankfully you were not in as bad of a situation as Adam Greentree who was on the side of a mountain with nowhere to go and he couldn't go back the way he had come. He had issues using his epirb because he had no service to confirm he needed help. By chance they showed up to rescue him. Stay safe and keep the beauty of Tasmania coming.

Fabulous adventure, great perseverance, smart track choice for the trip back with spectacular views. Well done rob.

Epic trip and footage. Glad you got in there and well done for not giving up, Rob

I look forward to every vid, but this one takes the cake. Epic adventure Rob! Glad you got there in the end.

So good Rob. Tenacity and grit in their purest form. Keen for the next instalment already!

WOW man that was an extreme hike, glad you accomplished it. Awesome scenery.

Love your videos Rob! You pack more epic adventure into a 20 minute film than a big-budget National Geographic documentary. A suggestion, you could attach short cords with those miniature carabiners from the $2 shop to your GPS, phone, camera, epirb etc to your backpack?

Another great video rob, thanks for sharing your adventure. I am surprised how nice that hut looks. Keep em coming mate👍

Great video and another great adventure Rob! As you were tackling that brutal brush couldn't help but think back to old 40's and 50's films where the suave explorers had a team of natives slash a path through the jungle for them!. I kept expecting you would at one stage whip out a machete to cut your way through 😂😂 Breathtaking views from the top and the flight of the eagle priceless. Looking forward to your next video! 🤗

I love this Rob...Its inspiring stuff..It must be great to soak in the Memories of the Journey..Great logo....Cheers.

Brilliant Rob, to say Well done is not enough, must admit breathed a sigh of relief when you made it to the hut !

Mate, what an epic trip! Stoked you were successful second time around. Looks like with the new kit you will be more prepared for future adventures as well. Thanks for sharing :)

Really enjoying all of your videos, but especially this one. It is great to see some of the really wild parts of Tassie. When you got to the hut I realised I'd been there in 1999! But we walked in from Frenchman's Cap down a untracked spur to reach the Franklin at the cable crossing near the hut. We walked out along the Raglan range too - but it was not really overgrown at all at that time, even in the lower reaches. Anyway great channel and thanks for all your work on it.

Parso, your footage was breathtaking. Pleased you successfully completed the track👌🏻 what an adventure!

Brilliant, loved your effort, the idea, the narrative, great vid.

Rob, well done, great walk, great experience and great vid. Keep it up!

What an effort! Well done Rob, great edit of another amazing adventure👍

Got there man! Well done, very inspiring. Thanks

Legend! Well done in getting it done! 👏👏

Champion Rob!! Keep smashing it up mate. I thought I’d check out your earliest vids so I’m making my way from the bottom to the top. YEWWWW!! 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

Well done mate! Much respect!!!

superb man, a great film and congrats on getting through!

Nice one Rob! I’d love to see some stats and/or maps of your adventures. Even if it’s just distance travelled and elevation in the notes. Keep up the good work!

Bloody brilliant. Breathtaking

Another great adventure mate, glad you are safe and well bud 👍🏻

What a pleasure to watch. Well done, you're crazy bastard 👏

Awesome ! Great job 👍🏼

Rob, please attach long lanyards attached from your pack to your Garman, phone and GoPro. You can still drag them out to use them.

Epic Rob. What a mission. Sucks about the phone and GoPro but these things happen. Can't wait for the next one.

wow that is epic, loved the Cascade Blue waiting for you in the Hut, what a treat.

Absolutely awesome video mate. Inspiring to say the least.

That was frikken awesome Rob! The walk out along the ridge is a massive contrast to the scrub bashing you did going in. Keep safe and keep going. 👏👏👏

Awesome video and achievement mate , well done.

Well done Rob. We all learn from experience.

I really like you go to the beat of your own drum.

Brilliant Rob, you mad man!

Great effort Rob! Your views on the Raglan track were amazing

Nice going mate, particularly impressive when you see the two logbook entries had to epirb out!

That sunset and sunrise, epic!

If there is any that is useful that I have learned it’s that dry food seems to last forever if it’s like dried noodles make sure to cook them very well before eating them

epic in every sense of the word. another RP gem.

Ha! Good on you lad! Jeez you camera work is also outstanding. Great effort. Elite level hike. Thanks for show us what's out there.

Insane Rob, love it 👌

Bloody Well Done! Inspired!

So wild! Love your eagle guide lol that'll lift the spirits over what looks to be a gruelling physical and mental challenge.

When we take off to go in places where we've never been like going to explore an old mine, we generally let a few people know where we're going and how long we're going to be gone. It gives them a far better chance of finding you.

Well that's a pretty nice little cabin even with power home away from home sweet.

well done dude, and thanks for sharing it with us

what a fucking epic effort man. Its safe to day the track has returned to the wild

Legend man Your one of the last true explorers mate , keep it up Cheers Bruce

Be the best you can each and every day. Be a little better tomorrow than you are today and never fall back always fall forward and you will succeed at everything you do. If you are not living then you are not alive. 👍

wow rob!!!!!!!!!!! awesome.

Great vid Rob 👍

Just watching ur old vids awesome effort bud sic adventure

Excellent video!

hey just wondered what was happening at the site where that large winch was up on the ridge ...

Been watching your channel for a few days now and I think you’re right, a lot of these tracks will be reclaimed in the next few years and quite possibly like finchams you are among the last humans who will explore them. I take my hat off to you I should have experienced them when I had the chance

I keep wondering where the trailer is.... to carry your balls around Well done

Just commented on your last video of this trip wondering if you would attempt it again….. I check the next video in the play list and here we are. 😂💪💪

Epic Rob

Wow. Amazing! How is there still electricity in the hut after all those years?

The release of this video during my hike through the Walls of Jerusalem meant I couldn't see the premiere BUT knowing it existed sure made my return hike that little bit faster... I really wanted to know what happened...phwwoor after watching it three times (twice by myself and once with my sister and niece) and listening to that poem about 5 times I feel that this video is a pure celebration of life. Beautiful videography, brilliant song choice, captivating storytelling and an inspiring example of pure human determination. BRAVO!!! Well done!!!!!!!! I absolutely loved it.

What a fantastic trip !

Ive watched this video a couple times, absolutely love it mate, however as a keen hiker myself, probably gonna give it a miss until my next life haha

You did make it....your a legend

Another awesome video epic journey 😎👌

Your just a bush bashing legend! Well done Rob.

I am telling anyone that will listen to follow your channel mate, love your work(play)🤘

Yeh muzza

Amazing video. Two thoughts: 1. I really appreciate the people who build and maintain all of the hiking trails I’ve used. 2. The Tasmanian tourism board should sponsor you because due to your epic videos I can’t wait to come visit.

Well done Rob. What date did you do that trip? As a few of were in the area looking for old hut sites associated with the Linda track and we had similar weather. Mavic Mini used? Keep exploring.

I like your merch mate and enjoy your adventures while locked out of the state... - question, is the logo on the back and front or just the front?

Rob you have outdone yourself mate great video. PM me i'll send you some gloves and bush bashing glasses if you would like them mate. That little hut looks awesome for chillaxing after a hard slog.The better half likes your designs on the Hoodies.

Hey mate do you use any spray on bug protection or only the long cloths , hat etc ?

You freakin champion. Oh yeah just bought 2 tee shirts mate….send it bud hahahaha

Second time lucky hey 😉 looking forward to it 🙂 someone’s not keen though 😂 a 👎🏼 🤦🏽‍♀️ always one 😜

Whats the chest pack you use?

Great vid....was that REALLY the same beer can from the hut!? :)

Wow

Iam touching 70 you inspire me bish

awesome topic. One thing. When you're explaining something like at 2:49 and abouts... it's really hard to focus with lyrics in the background as a non-native speaker.. Love your stuff. Just a tip :)

Tall grass is not your friend tall grass wants to twist your ankle with a hidden hole

Keeeeen 👌🤘

What are the boots you are wearing? They look very soft.

I'm sure he did, Cheers.
