Original caption

2kg base weight for my self-supported FKT attempt of the 1,000km Bibbulmun Track. Nothing about this setup is comfortable or cozy or even really responsible. But for a record attempt, I’m treading on the edge. Bare minimum, the the focus being 100% on covering about 90km per day. Wish me luck, only a few days away from the start line…
