3 Days Winter Snow Camping as a Mountaineer from 100 years ago

In this video, I head deep into the Victorian High Country for 3 days to camp as a traditional mountaineer from over 100 years ago, inspired by the climbers and explorers of the late 1800s and early 1900s. These early pioneers braved the alpine snow with only wool, leather, and canvas, and I set out to recreate their journey using the same heritage gear. Joined by Leigh from ‪@Peakoilcompany‬ we test a brand-new wooden frame pack that also converts into a chair, while climbing into the snowbound peaks above Bluff Hut. Along the way, I explore the kind of equipment these first mountaineers relied on, and reflect on Australia’s unique alpine culture that grew from their daring adventures. 🔥 What’s in the Video: ✔️ Camping in the snow with heritage alpine gear ✔️ Exploring the historic Bluff Hut in Victoria’s High Country ✔️ Recreating the experience of early Australian mountaineers ✔️ Traditional wool, canvas, and leather clothing ✔️ Wooden-frame heritage pack (converts into a chair) 🧥Check out Peak Oil Company: https://www.peakoilcompany.com/ 🎥 This video is part of my ongoing series exploring traditional bushcraft, heritage camping, and Australian history, where I step back in time to live as swagmen, stockmen, bushrangers, whalers, gold diggers, and mountaineers once did. 🥼 New BEARDED BUSHRANGER Merch Available here: https://thebeardedbushranger.theprint... 🔥 Like & Subscribe for more survival adventures! 👉 Join My Patreon: [  / membership  ] 👉 Become a YouTube Member: [   / @thebeardedbushranger  ] 📸 Follow me: [  / thebeardedbushranger  ] 🏕 Check out Homecamps tents: https://homecamp.com.au/ 🧣Check out Pendleton Woolen Products: https://pendletonwoolenmills.com.au/ 🎒 Check out Jack Stillman: https://jackstillman.com.au/BBRANGER10 ☕ The Coffee I drink: https://www.dogandguncoffee.com/?ref=... #snowcamping #mountaineering #victorianhighcountry #historicalcamping #australianhistory #bushcraftaustralia #canvascamping #traditionalcamping #heritagegear #bluffhut #alpineculture #wintercamping #bushman
