Not a single person on this forum would have experienced the Tasmanian Wilderness had it not been for these early examples of documentation.
And while it is so important to preserve and protect what we still have here in Tasmania not everyone who sees our videos are going out at it, in over 18 months since I first visited the 'new' Jane hut, with over 8 Thousand views on the video, not a single person visited.
How about all those Aged 65+ views you get from the elderly who can't go out and enjoy the state themselves anymore?
Or about those families that go out on the weekend and climbed that mountain because they saw you do it.
Btw I wouldn't ask these kooks for advice.

WOW...what a complete load.......
Plenty of people on this forum have eexperienced Tasmanian wilderness simply through their own motivation. Most have even managed to do it without needing a helicopter to save their bacon.

There is an option to set a video to Private, and then only those who receive a link to it can watch the video. I actually quite like this idea, especially for the off track or remote trips. Take the Tyndalls which I referred to earlier. I did do some filming while we were up there, but I don't want to post it, because that area could really do without the promotion. But my friend I went with probably wants to see the footage, so I may be able to just share it with him and other close friends.doogs wrote:.

Taking it altogether, I do not think this Cradle Mountain district, including the Pelions and the innumerable lakes, can be surpassed by the alpine scenery in any part of Tasmania, and it will be a long time before it is desecrated by tourists of the vulgar sort, who demand to sit around and be entertained by jazz music and ice creams.

What if you were to make a video of one of your walks but the destination never gets mentioned. Doesnt have to be remote or rarely visited, could be Frenchmans Cap or the Southcoast Track. Main thing is no names.
Every single part of Tassie has some sort of pioneering,surveying,mining or pastoral back story. With references to some of these stories you could still be giving the destination away to those willing to do their own research and I'd bet that those who know where you are would still enjoy watching it. Filming flora and fauna endemic to the region you are in and providing a bit of info on it could add a bit of an educational slant to the production.
