r/OutdoorAus

Solo hiking has been #1 for my mental health the last few years. I don't have many active/outdoor people in my life, so biting the bullet and going solo took some getting used to.

I love going alone, but it can be a bit limiting. I avoid hikes if there's some extra risk involved, but the worst thing is I don't do any overnights, because camping alone just kinda sucks to me.

I'm really keen to find some mates who would be good company on the bigger hikes and who are at a similar stage of life to me (I'm 32).

I run into other solo guys on hikes from time to time so I know I'm not the only one. But anyway if any of you guys see this and would be interested, hit me up and we could team up on a day hike or grab a beer sometime and plan for a bigger trip.

No weirdos and definitely not interested in crowding your space, I love going alone myself, but if you ever wished you weren't solo all the time let me know!

Just curious who's done the "Lap' of Australia with a very minimal set up budget, what's the cheapest anyone has spent on their car/4wd and caravan or van/bus/campervan to get them round Australia over a one-year period? I'm not wondering about the weekly costs while you're on the road, I'm really just wondering about the car and caravan or whatever set up people have done on a reeealy low budget???
