[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 268977, member: 4485"] Yeah no worries but I'm not in the GT. A lot of my local spots are exactly as you describe - gullies, hills, slopes - mountain goat country. With the use of a hipstick & detecting across or downslope I find it pretty good. Last outing I spent about 6hrs in similar country but did spend a bit of time on the flats leading into a few gullies too. Some pictures I've seen posted here of some of the hilly, hard going areas around Vic remind me of Hargraves etc. here. It's heavy no doubt - the Zed is the first machine I've resorted to using a bungy with fulltime & only rarely used one with SD/GP/GPX. Never used a bungy with the SDC. Only wore a harness because it holds my PLB, first aid gear, booster/speaker, water bottle, pick etc. Now it's full Shingleback harness, bungy & hipstick in all terrain. My point was it can be managed with a set-up to suit you. I find what I use great on flat ground & pretty good in the harder going hilly areas too. The hipstick has made a heap of difference to me or my set-up. [/QUOTE]
