- Hey everyone after a few weeks work it's time to head off on some more adventures, to explore the Aoraki National park and all those mountain peaks and glaciers.
We park at the whitehorse hill camp ground which is half frozen. Most of the good walks do start from here though and it's a great base for exploring.

Wow. Another amazing video. Many thanks. Just love watching the kids especially Toby. You are such a character. Yes every family has one. Travel safe 🥶🤗🥶
Thanks. That boy definietly has us laughing so many times in a day... He's such a loveable kid.
Keep fit Leopard style! You've got to admire Toby's commitment carrying those rocks and ice all that way to drop off bridges. And getting round in shorts and tee-shirt with all that snow and ice. It's been colder where you are than the cool stores I'm working in. Thank The Lord for freezer jackets!
Man it makes such a big difference when the sun is out nice and warm, when it went behind the mountain it dropped to 2 degrees instantly every day, so from 2pm - 5pm it would go to -1... good Jackets, gloves and warm hat, are essential
@@leopardsgowild sounds like when I lived in Scotland.
I loved this video! I am 66 and walked the Hooker Track a few months ago. After that we decided to walk to the Tasman Glacier view but didn't realise that it had 330 steps up (yes we counted them coming down). I have a knee replacement and a dodgy other knee but managed to do it. Sealy Tarn? Yeah na... It looked amazing though.
Yea that Tasman view point is a bit of a sneaky climb aye, its amazing to think, that was where the glacier used to come to though right, Ice pushed all that gravel into that spot. Sealy tarn def a bit more challenging.
Toby’s in his happy place when he’s throwing things into lakes and rivers😂. You guys must be pretty fit with all he walking you’ve done to date.
yip, he can't wait to smash ice again in winter, you'll see that in an upcoming video.
Man this is beautiful. The memories you’re creating for your kids are invaluable. Definitely inspired me to explore NZ 👍🏽 cheers bro
Cheers mate, yea great memories for all of us. Been an exciting adventure not only the travels, but figuring out how we can stay on the road finding work etc, we love the slower paced life.
Wonderful video throughout my friends well done
See you again be safe and healthy always cheers
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed, pretty beautiful part of the country through here.
Such a beautiful place. Spectacular and very relaxing views. Thank you for sharing your enjoyable video guys. Have a great day.
Thanks very much, it's a pretty special place alright, beautiful here.
That's my next destination this winter... good to see you bit the bullet and brought a generator , i know it's not ideal for the environment but it's a must have when the sun doesn't shine...just a tip , don't carry a petrol can just keep the genie topped up , it's safer!!.❤️🇳🇿...ps 10klm in gumboots... Toby's a legend.🤣
Yea mate, get in there... Looks like we got winter snow coming this week so be pretty stunning and icy in there by the weekend. Petrol can purchased mate, the tank on the gene is only 2 litres which only gives us about 3 -4 hours use, We've been using about that a day so need a refill. 10km in Gumboots or jandals is the prefered footwear, all our kids do have shoes though lol.
I so love your videos you guys. So awesome sharing your journey with you. We all miss you 😘 loving your best lives, makes me very happy. Well done you guys.
Nice to her from ya'll we miss our Rotorua whanau as well. Having a great time down here and the weather is better
Finally no more worries about the batteries mate 😀 that DOC camp is awesome, just can’t use it as we have the dog 😢 Toby your a legend! All that ice just love it, hopefully by the time we are back down south again it’ll still be there 👍 such a beautiful part of the country..
Yea it's incredible, really loved our time there... Maybe we need to head back there for a snow storm, since we keep on missing them... surely if it's gonna snow, it will snow there right?
Oh my gosh this video bought back some of my most memorable memories of my trip in September 2022.
It’s a beautiful place isn’t it.
its a special place we get to call home. Lots of magical places.
Very beautiful national park
Its amazing alright. Thanks for watching.
love your music
Awww, thanks I pretty much choose music I like. Someone did message saying my content was good but my music was terrible I laughed, I think it's great music and fits the vibe.
Awesome spot to stay 👍. Did you get the family of thirteen Kea come down for a visit❓🤔
I was worried about the kea coming and eating all the Silicone on our roof, Didn't see any Kea this time. Haven't actually seen one since we've been in the South Island.
so good to see , kids memories for life .
Yea pretty awesome alright they were pretty tired after this spot
Absolutely stunning. Another well put together video.
Cheers team. Such a great spot, we definitely enjoyed that beautiful weather. Hope ya'll aren't to hot in the states.
It's really hot, been over 40 degrees for the last 4 weeks, only dropping to about 30 overnight! I think we're getting acclimatised now!
hey brother, 4,000 views in a week!!!! im so proud for yah!!!!!!!!, not guna lie , ive been having a rough go of it lately and this video was a great escape... epic scenery as always but you guys really r living the dream and its amazing to watch... even you and soph are wide eyed at these spots, its awesome how u give the kids their own little segments and i like how u ask tobes to explain why he says stuff you can see his brain working!! anyway thanks man you guys r the best!! hope youre some place epic!!! see yah soon!
Cheers bro, yep we've just been somewhere pretty awesome alright, fully off grid for 5 nights. Toby was living his best life smashing ice. TH-cam is a rough a game, so much competition out there. Hope your doing well bro, hear from you again soon.
Such a special part of NZ, well shot and edited. Good work kids on telling us about the area and for some entertainment there Toby.
Yea so good to be up there in good weather as well. Toby is just hilarous.
Another great video, thanks guys. We'll be up there at White Horse Hill in late August, so will be sure to include some of those walks!
Cheers team, yes enjoy the area, will be so bloody cold I imagine in August, be lots of snow around which will be awesome. Hopefully you get some sunshine.
Geeee man... That child needs to have his own video.... 😆 Not to mention the amount of rocks that he carries just to throw off a bridge. There has to be enough by now for a decent montage of them all. 😆
However my knees and my back hurt just watching you all climb that mountain.
He could be a great youtuber that boy. The kids were pretty walked out after this trip an easy couple of days followed
@@leopardsgowild that's good.
Haha I forgot to mention the kids are funny. I had a great laugh with Toby’s tricks.
The kids are so cool, they are great adventurers.
That’s such an insanely beautiful looking area. Nice vid dude. Your kids are troopers too never hear them complaining.
Cheers mate, pretty stoked to get these wicked days while we were up there. We do have the choice to save these areas for a good forecast which is nice as well. Complaining and camera is not a good combo with these kids lol, there are some complaints, but generally not much at all.
Beautiful vid, well done!!❄️ Beautiful scenery & your kids are ⭐🌟Stars!!!! 🌟🌠
Cheers mate, kids do pretty well living on the road in a small space especially in the winter. I think we'll all be looking forward to warmer and longer days in about another month, and then it will be a few more months till it actually happens lol...
More stunning footage of our beautiful country. Some awesome crisp winter weather. Well done Toby on your rock and Ice carrying
yea he's a crack up, I just laughed when I saw him walking up the hill with a slab of ice.
:: a few moments of silence to remember all the rocks thrown into rivers by Toby ::
Rocks that were once happy thrown into the depths of the nation's rivers
@@leopardsgowild * Eggs dominoes and biscuits - Ahhh-men *
Toby like your dad says you are a real legend well done mate. Team Kawerau
Yea he so entertaining aye, fun a kid, hopefully he doesn't turn into a daredevil taking big risks when he gets older though... hope you guys are staying dry.
Did you go to the Ed thing in Cook? It's very interesting
We went there but didn't go in prices were $25 an adult and $15 for kids well keep our money this time
@@leopardsgowild Fair enough. The joy's of tourist traps
Go Toby!
He's so much fun.
How much solar/ batteries do you run?
hey mate, we are running 520w of solar and 200amphrs of AGM batteries, I'm sure there is something drawing current somewhere in the caravan. we've done a few tests and somethings not right, haven't figured it out yet... Got a video in a couple of weeks about power and some other winter camping problems.
@@leopardsgowild cheers, just starting to look at a van and was thinking 880 solar and 400 lithium as a minimum, enjoy your videos, thanks.
Yea mate that will be good. 400 lithuim is massive, its worth paying that money to get it done at the begining. One day we'll sell this caravan, and get one set up for me and Soph and that will have Lithuim and lots of solar.
Toby the legion.
Yes always giving us a smile that boy .
Have you bought a generator?
Yea bro just a cheepy off trademe, 800w and only $350.
@@leopardsgowild at least you can get your batteries charged on crap days
@@gdog1443 every day they need to be charged... every day
Where you parked up tonight?
