To save you time and money, Our Spirit have put together all the basic trekking equipment you will need for the jungles of PNG into one package. It's the the most convenient way to order all your trekking supplies at once (saving on delivery costs) and have it delivered to your door within 5 working days.

Our Spirit trekking socks were researched, designed and created by Aidan Grimes after many adventures over 20 years frustrated by the lack of quality product looking after the most important part of trekking.. your feet. These socks are Left/right specific with cleverly placed pads to help prevent blisters and chaffing.

Our knee-high socks contain the well-known natural antibiotic Silverwool to help protect your feet from hidden nasties. The socks are designed for colder climates and have a special antibacterial wool that helps insulate your feet to keep them warm even when it's freezing outside.

No more sweat in your eyes! This bandana can be worn many ways and be used during trekking or sports, or it can be worn as a fashion icon. The unique design is also a great momento of the Kokoda campaign.

At a time when we are all concerned about what we term "leadership values" and the need to develop them. The Diggers of Kokoda were asked the question: what makes a good Leader? here are their collectives answers.

One of the greatest accomplishments is to learn what you can from the past and how to apply those lessons to the future which represents possibility. As part of this focus an understanding that a difficult past can make a successful future even more rewarding.

Learning to deal with and overcoming adversity is what builds character and resilience. Every challenge and every difficulty we successfully confront in life serves to strengthen our will, confidence and ability to conquer future obstacles.

When taking on a challenge it is essential to have the right equipment. One of the most important key areas is choice of socks, to look after your feet. We have often heard of terrible situations that arise because someone has been advised incorrectly or simply purchased an inferior product. The areas of blister prevention, chaffing, foot strike, infection, can be reduced with the correct product.

Some Australian Diggers have often been heard describing the Black Cat Track as the hardest slog they’d ever done. In fact, the Black Cat Track rates harder than the Kokoda Track.
