Cool and interesting video man. What a special way to grow up. I grew up in Riwaka, Abel Tasman and feel pretty fortunate to have done so. I've traveled since I was 17 and still love discovering new places but NZ is pretty great. Gonna watch bunch more of your videos now.
Hi. I am very inspired by your family and I too try to live minimal life that is close to nature. I am very interested in getting a copy of your parents books. Many thanks, Aoife
Thank you, Chris, for showing a glimpse of what it's like living at such a remote & amazing place in NZ. Thanks be to GOD for providing your family's life needs & protecting you all from storms in past four decades. 5:06 p.m., Mon., 11.23.2020 🇵🇭
Currently reading your dads book, very inspiring. Being an Aussie I was really interested in his life as a youngster in Australia. What an adventurer. I am really enjoying your videos, good luck to you and your family
Hi , I first heard about your family about 15 yrs ago or so . Thanks for putting these vids up , im now able to see what id wondered about . Q. Has there ever been a high tide or rouge wave situation threatening the House ? It being so close to the sea , I would expect you have some boats ?
Short answer no, we are high enough above the ocean and river luckily. However our airstrip has suffered a lot of damage over the years, particularly in these 2 big storms we had a couple of years ago.
Hey bro just stumbled upon your deer hunting video's and am now working my way through the rest of your collection. This is awesome content and really interesting to see how people can manage to survive so isolated. Epic to see you guys are doing your part for conservation too with the trapping and deer hunting. What a beautiful part of Aotearoa. Where can I get my hands on a copy of the book?

WildKiwiAdventurer in my opinion all your videos are well made, & well received. Really interesting content that is informative & educating. Keep them coming. Take care where ever you roam. Churz.:-)
Yes we do a little bit. It is for sure possible especially of we get a big earthquake. We have a track to run to the bottom of the hill if we have to go quickly.
I checked again, just your Mum’s book is available on Kindle. Your father’s book is available in hardcover and paperback. No worries. I’ll look in again from time to time. Be well.
I have a question, I haven't seen much about your sister. Since I have a daughter i am really curious on how she is a grown up person. Does she work now? Or just stay with your parents? Also how does your parents handle security in that place.
Hi Erl, My sister works for the department of conservation and studies fiordland crested penguins. She has travelled lots and even owns her own piece of land in New Zealand. Follow this link to hear her talk more about her penguin project th-cam.com/video/4p4judk1uFk/w-d-xo.html

Thank you!

@@craigperry7376 thank you Craig! That's the sort of feedback that keeps me editing for so many hours haha!
Has the water ever risen too high ?
No we are well above the level of the ocean but it does go onto the airstrip when the sea is rough
fantastic , do you ever worry about a tsunami you look very close to the water line
Yes we do a little bit. It is for sure possible especially of we get a big earthquake. We have a track to run to the bottom of the hill if we have to go quickly.
Hi Chris!
Hello there!
have you tried swimming in that river just near your house,I'm just wondering because its cold 😆
May I ask is the land owned or leased by your Family.
The land is public conversation land, we have a hut licence to have a hut where it is.
Quick question: Your Mom’s book is available on Kindle but your dad’s is not. Do you know if it will become available?
That is strange... because both are available on Amazon. But maybe for some reason not on kindle? as far as I know it should be.
Regards Chris
Both have been available on Kindle before.
WildKiwiAdventurer , I will check again today. Thank you.
I checked again, just your Mum’s book is available on Kindle. Your father’s book is available in hardcover and paperback. No worries. I’ll look in again from time to time. Be well.
I got Roberts book through the Books app on my iPhone

If you want to live "natural" go on countryside, buy land, grow your own food like Amish, this self isolation is nonsense.
