As sure as the sun rises in the east, this channel puts out absolute perfection ❤

@@epicninja951 💛Appreciate it G

Thanks mate! Always happy to be out in the High Country. We are very lucky with how many cool spots are tucked away only a few hours from Christchurch.

Thank you! I am very lucky to have Zoe. Looking forward to planning many future camps and hikes with her.

Thanks for watching Jeff! It was unnaturally warm for that time of year for sure. Just the previous week it had been consistently sub zero temperatures. Not complaining though. Made for a great trip. The swim was definitely cold but warmed up quick in the sun. Tim

Can be tricky to find good weather like that in Arthurs Pass but definitely a lot more stable in the late summer months which was when this was filmed.

Day 1 supporter badge would be yours if I could give it to you.

@@TheHi_King hahaha runner up badge would go to the cement in your leg

@@Corbin13ftw Honestly fair shout to the surgeon. He did the best he could once they had run out of medical grade titanium. Fulton Hogan in the parking lot came in clutch for me!

This was just shot on an iphone 8 plus! I really want to upgrade to a nice go pro in the future. Thanks heaps for watching. Mueller Hut would get crazy in summer that is for sure. Especially with day walkers. It was already hectic as hell in April. Nice at the hut though once the day walkers have left and the evening calms down. Surprisingly enough the avalanches on the other side of the valley were going off about once every hour. Lucky to get my phone out in time though. Have you been to Mt Cook National Park?

@@TheHi_King I invested in a GoPro 12 before I spent 3 months in NZ earlier this year. I'm based in the UK although originally from NZ, and just love returning to tramp. Another 3-4 months planned next NZ summer, and this time I aim to head to the SI. Passing 3 months in the NI was very easy to do though - excellent tramping in the Ruahines, Tararuas, Whirinaki etc. Bits of the TA...I had a fantastic time. I haven't been to the Mt Cook area for years but your video reminded me just how good it is! Keep the videos coming...they provide real inspiration! Jeff

@@jeffc1604 That's awesome to hear! I am the opposite to you in that sense. I have not really done much tramping in the North Island other than a bit around Tongariro. Would love to get into the Tararua's. I got some friends in Upper Hutt so I might have to try tee up a trip that way. I would love to do the South Island section of the TA. Been looking at planning for that for maybe 2026 if I can swing the time off. South Island definitely has some magical scenery. Let me know if you want any recommendations for good walks but it sounds like you know a fair bit about NZ anyway. Thanks for the motivation to keep posting! I love making these videos mainly for my friends and family but it's nice to see others get something out of them too.

@@sophiemills3630 gosh, you just made my day Miss Mills. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching! Nothing like being out in the mountains with only the sunrise and the birds for company!

Too kind good sir!

Keep the helicopter away, lazy people that can't be bothered walking.

@@boostedshuttle2231 luckily it wasn't a charter helicopter but was some DOC workers getting dropped off to clean out the toilets and do some work with chainsaws!

You are too kind my good man. I am enjoying learning the processes and improving on aspects. I still have a level of quality in my head I would like to achieve with my videos and I am not quite there yet. Will keep working towards it.

We almost ended up with the search and rescue to be honest haha. Our original plan was to go to blue lake hut and then go back over the pass but the presence of snow made descending too challenging for the girls. So we were left with no option but to hightail it for St Arnaud by Wednesday or risk someone’s parents calling search and rescue. Hence why we made a journey that normally takes 3-4 days in two.

@@TheHi_King was their mascara at risk of freezing or sumth

Good call. Nice to see good decision making 👍

Want to go back already and explore Savusavu and Taveuni island so come with next time!

@@TheHi_King say less

Not because of doing flips but I did have an accident at an orchard which resulted in a big fall breaking my femur in 6 places. They had to put it all back together with a bunch of titanium so yes my leg has got metal rods in it.

Thinking of a place - war on drugs, on the sea - beach house and firelight - young the giant 💪

Was thinking of a clever retort whilst reading this until I got to “my stupid village in China” and I near pissed myself laughing 😅

thanks Archie! Would love to catch up at some point. Lot's to talk about

thanks mate <3 this was back in June haha but I only unprivated it today.
