Saving memories for later.
This is what freedom feels like - Te Araroa - Chapter 3
In Chapter 3, I step into the raw wilderness of the South Island. The Richmond Ranges, rugged and remote, pushed me further than ever before, offering moments of awe, isolation, and complete freedom.
From weathering storms in the safety of mountain huts to standing atop Waihu Pass with snow-capped peaks in view, this chapter is a reminder of nature’s power to humble and inspire. The silence of the mountains spoke volumes, inviting reflection and gratitude for the fleeting beauty of each moment.
Km 1,700 to km 2,000. Wellington to Aurthur's Pass.

The world looks different now - Te Araroa - Chapter 2
มุมมอง 2.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In Chapter 2, the journey deepens as I navigate New Zealand’s stunning yet unforgiving terrain. From paddling the sacred Whanganui River to battling through the Tararua Ranges, each moment felt like a test of both body and spirit. Rain-soaked days and powerful winds stripped everything back to the essentials, leaving space to reflect and feel profoundly connected to the world around me. This ch...
The best, most stupid thing I've ever done - Te Araroa - Chapter 1
มุมมอง 3.3Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In Chapter 1, I set foot on #teararoa, New Zealand’s legendary 'tramping' trail stretching 3,000km from north to south. Nerves, excitement, and a fair bit of doubt colored my first steps-what was I really getting into? From pristine beaches to forest trails, and major cities, each day brought new highs, lows, and unforgettable moments. Join me as I dive into what might just be the best (and mos...

lessons to live by ~ collin bellanger. love thy neighbour, and follow the lord. subscribe. Apologies if this is offensive to anyone, this video is merely a light joke.
This is the 2nd time watching this amazing video ... makes me want to try .. was it scary
Awesome storytelling as always Dan! I hope you keep this up. You have a lot of talent! 💜💜💜
What a great adventure, storytelling, shots, editing, and music on the background! I'm looking forward to the next chapter!
Wow thank you so much!! Chapter 4 will be the final chapter and it’s coming sooon!!!
@dandurham_ Omg, I can't wait!!!
Incredible video man, greetings from Argentina.
Thanks brother! Love to get to Argentina at some point!!
Awesome video and commentary . Thanks for sharing your journey
Thank you so much mate!
Here I was feeling sorry for you going over the Rintouls with no view and even more sorry when the weather packed in before Waiau Pass but man that was epic and the snow in summer. I've had that once and it is truly magical.
Haha yes quickly learnt that conditions could be very poor for one place but so much better at the next
Having walked theTA South Island myself and the Richmond Ranges three times and being addicted to TA videos, I can honestly say that this video is one of the best. You captured the adventure and the challenges.
Wow man thank you very much! I’d love to walk the Richmond ranges and Nelson lakes section again. Absolute highlight
Lovely vid
Thank you very much mate!
This is absolutely awesome.
Thank you so much ! Glad you’re enjoying it!
really cool videos, thanks! gimme the third chapter! haha... watching from Brazil
Haha I’m glad you’re enjoying them! Chapter three is on its way 😁
Loving this, I live in NZ and have always wanted to do it
Thank you mate! Glad you're enjoying it :) It was lot of fun! and the trail is only getting busier so there's no time like the present!
Thanks for the response! I just ssent the videos to my dad and he loves them too, as he's been a life long hiker. @@dandurham_ I was curious, is there a place where you can find other people wanting to do the trail, and the trail angels, like website or facebook page or something, or was that purely just through coincidence?
Your video was truly beautiful and inspiring. As a fellow creator, I appreciate the effort you put into it. Sub and 👍47
Thank you very much mate! Really means a lot 🧡🧡
Love this beyond description, I need do some of this.
Thank you mate!! Highly recommend doing something crazy like it if you’ve got the time, there are loads of these thru hikes around the world, not all of them take 4 months haha
I guess stearing straught really does mean something different to everyone 👀 but we never capsized ! Thanks for another great video <3
Wasn’t targeted at anyone in particular 👀
Loving your videos, beautiful cinematography and excellent voice over.
Actually, it’s not just the narrative- you’ve nailed the music. I’m following a couple of people on the TA right now but I normally mute a lot of it, because their music is driving me crazy. I’ve just realised I haven’t muted yours once. Respect
Hahaha wow man thank you so much. I feel like I've spent wayyy too long trying to find the right tracks so it is absolutely lovely knowing someone is appreciating them. Thanks mate!
4:55 read my mind, genuinely amazing stuff though mate proud of you.
Thank you brother, can’t wait to make it happen in the Kyrgyz ❤ 🥾
nice trip
It was quite the journey!
Loved it. Such a great, natural style.
Thank you very much! Hope you think the same about chapter 2 when it comes out!
Awesome video bro. Im one of the pilots for salt air and we fly over 90 mile everyday so its fun telling the tourist passengers why there are crazy people walking down the beach😂
Thank you so much man! Hahaha that I'd love to see some of their reactions, it was always a dream to get a hitch in a plane... 👀
Awesome Video! I did the TA solo last year (as i was late in the season and the last one basically), but it looks so great having a crew. So when's the next thru hike?
Thank you brother! it was a lot of fun meeting people on the trail! I'm thinking about another one, not sure I'm going to have enough time for another one quite as long hahah. You got any planned??
Thanks for sharing!! This is such a great video, looking forward to the next chapter 😍
Thank you so much! I'm working on chapter 2 now so it won't be long 😁
Music is so good.
Thank you Pauline! So much of the editing time was taken up by sifting through so many tracks... It feels so good knowing someone noticed hahah
Loved this.
Thank you Dianne!
What a lovely video! I am planning on walking te araroa next year, will be following your journey! Would you share please what camera/lens you are using for filming the videos? Good luck! 💪
Amazing!! It’s such an incredible experience! I shot on a Sony a7iv with a 24-105 lens on the front. I’m not sure if I did it again that I’d be taking this big of a kit (it was pretty heavy). I’ve got links to some of the gear I took in the description if you want to have a closer look. If you’ve got other questions feel free to ask! Very happy to share any advice I can 😊
Loved your vlog! We hiked TA in the 22/23 season and it just fills my heart to be taken back there. Can’t wait for the rest of your journey to come 😊
Amazing!! One of the main reasons for wanting to document the whole process was to be transported back and I'm so glad it's done that for you! Thank you for the love ❤️
Super good video, The next chapters are gonna be wicked
Thank you so much! Currently working on chapter 2, feeling like there's a lot to live up too 😅 Glad you're along for the ride ❤️
Great storytelling!! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much! Thats what I was hoping for 😊
Got recommended you on a whim and I am stoked for the rest of this journey!!
Thanks man! Welcome to the journey!
Brilliant, loved it 😍💯
Thanks so much George!
Got a little teary eyed for a second.... I can't find the words :) What a beautiful video, it was such a pleasure sharing the trail and that slice of life with you, and it is so great to have the opportunity to look back now, almost a year after starting in Cape Reinga
Thanks so much Léa, I'm so glad you were part of it all, it's going to be very nice to have these videos as a memory
What a cool video, but even more awesome experience! 🙌🏻
Thanks Eszter! You made new years so special for us! Thank you very much for looking after us, but i know it was so easy with us being the best guests and all that 🤪
