... you're the most ethical of all the Kiwi hunting channels I watch. Never boasting about how you 'bowled' a 'bastard' and always using the meat in a fine way to make great food or take as much home to freeze up. I really like to see you removing the carcasses of you kills from water sources, in this case a dead stage you did'nt shoot. What other Kiwi does that? I've never seen that. I'm confident before opening that I'm always going to see a video with good camera work, good cooking, and great outdoorsmanship that I can recommend to non hunters. You're an inspiration to all ethically minded outdoorsman out there. Thanks for another great watch!
Thanks so much Stu! Respectfully using as much meat as possible is what I'm all about, glad that comes across :). I think since I or anyone else is going to be drinking from these lovely mountain rivers I'd much prefer them to not have some manky rotting carcass in them 😆. Glad you're enjoying the vids, really appreciate your comment 😁
The mincer is hard core from before. The wooden chopping board is just practical and says “I know what I need, and it’s this” The colander however, is just class ! I applaud your unashamed individuality and humour. Thoroughly entertained. Thanks.
@@mattharris2018 I'm waiting to see you do the dishes in a stainless sink. Lol jokes, it makes me gasp when I see you bring the kitchen with you. I'd be like, weighing my spoons to find the lightest one.
Tasman you produce the best adventure, hunting, cooking content on TH-cam imo. You're a great role model for young hunters, being so humble and level headed. Keep up the good work.
Home made ice skates skating on South Island tarns? You're insane! 😂 Bouncy rocks made my kids laugh so hard. You're the best TH-camr out there Tasman. Keep it up
mate I was watching this last night thinking dude you need a sponsor to come on board with you ,your content is second to none...good honest no bs kiwi hunting, it awesome, but I was thinking who would mostly align with your style as a sponsor... after seeing the colander I seriously think its gotta be Mi Goreng noodles and BRISCOES doesn't it????😀😀😀😀😀 keep the amazing vids coming mate.. you bring a lot of joy and your hunting is ethical as..
Thanks mate! 🤣 Briscoes could set me up with so many ridiculous yet useful small cooking accessories, that's a great idea 😂. And I do love the indo mie noodles! So glad to hear you're enjoying the vids, and plenty more to come! Cheers 🤙
You are a legend, the rawness of your videos is a refreshing view, none of this sponsorship bullshit. Just getting out there and doing it like the rest of us with out 20k worth of kit. Keep up the vids bro. Look forward to seeing the Fiordland trip.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your comment 😁. I'm sure we'll take a sponsor or two some day, but absolute bare basics is all that's necessary for a good time in the hills 😁. Cheers mate, hopefully get the first part up in a few weeks 🤞
More than happy to write a comment if it helps. What a fabulous fellow you are, Tasman. You take me places I will likely never see for myself with unmatched toughness, competence and above all joy and wonderment. Best wishes from Newcastle, Australia x
Thanks so much Matthew! The comments are one of the things youtube monitors to recommend content to people so any comments help :). You're too kind, I really appreciate it 😊
Well done for pulling the rotting stag out of the water, x2 for the Aussie guys comments, love ya view on the world, you appreciate the little things, bouncing stone lol!
Love this episode you went ice skating got to see lot of animals fun in hunting your original one of a kind my favourite hunter out of all the channels I watch
As always, I had a grin from ear to ear the whole way through that video. From yanking that stag out of the river to dragging half your kitchen into those hills with ease, you never cease to amaze! Your an absolute machine! Also that footage you snuck in to get of the tahr was some of the best raw footage Ive seen yet. Thanks again for another beautiful adventure mate, I cant wait for the Fiordland trip to come out. All the best Tasman.
Awesome work bro! Loved the, get close up shots no matter the weather conditions.Heaaaaarty!!! You're a true adventurer bro who loves a bit of fine dining hahaha much respect bro!
I'm a big fan of your outdoor adventures tasman. They are a great watch. It's inspired me to get back into hunting and being out in the wilderness. So I thank you for that.
Thanks so much! That's awesome to hear 😁 it's my pleasure, a big part of my drive to make these videos is to hopefully inspire some to make the most of our incredible backyard, so I really appreciate your comment 😁. Take care!
comment 2: that was brilliant fun. I'm glad you show the wee outtakes at the end, sure does add to the story. Once again, dont worry about not shooting an animal, the adventure is the thing, shooting some meat is a perk and we are happy to just follow the adventure. Gotta say tho, wild meat beats the store stuff every time!!
Glad you enjoy the bloopers 😂 that's awesome glad to hear it! Absolutely wild meat tastes the best, particularly after a bit of a mahi! Was a nice light backpack out this time tho 😆
Hi there, as a hunter myself and also a Kiwi I do watch quite a few NZ hunting blogs. I've seen other posts of your but I have to admit that is the first I have watched all the way through. reason being I found it very interesting in many ways, probably because I liked your ethos. I will make an added effort to watch more of your posts! So, thank you for sharing.
the "I'm a fan of superlight packing" then immediately cutting to the wooden chopping board+ mincer you brought up the hill with you cracked me right up.
Very humble with the way you hunt as always. I really enjoy your creativity with your meals, and food always tastes so much better when your out walking the hills all day. Epic! Such inspiring footage and ethics for young and old.
Thanks for watching! Glad you like the vids 😁. Yes after a hard days plod there's nothing that beats a good warm hearty meal, not sure if they'd taste any good at home aye 😂 cheers!
I really don’t know how you manage to one up your videos each and every time! Ice skating! Too awesome ! You should be a hunting guide, your clients would definitely have a life time memory. Thanks heaps for sharing Tasman, love your vids.
@@NZWildAdventures Although it would be easy now (relatively) than the experience a few decades ago when animals were getting the custard, the client makes the trip. A few are ok, many are a challenge to be civil to. Particularly in the days when opportunities were few. Similar could be said for many of the NZ hunters encountered, & YT shows that trait is endemic. Strong parallels with deckhanding on gamefish charters. Modern "Guides", pilots & skippers all had a fine opinion of themselves, with a few notable exceptions. There's something therapeutic doing solo trips. Although block systems in a few areas confound that, and they have little value for increasing pest control (the reverse in fact) or safety. Your mates usually shoot you. That older bull looked it might have been 6-8.
As usual Tasman you embrace the total adventure and enjoyment you get from just being there. So entertaining, and I could almost feel the cold in some of those scenes. Just a thought, maybe a closed cell foam sleeping mat could be considered a worthwhile addition to your kit, bugger the wet sleeping bag caper!! But excellent again, and keep them coming.
Thanks Bill! Glad the enjoyment I get from just being in the great outdoors comes across 😁. That's a suggestion, in fiordland I did take a short piece for the torso section, but I couldn't find it for this trip 😂. I think the bag got fairly wet from condensation as well 🤔. Thanks for watching!
Another highly entertaining and inspiring video! Love the innovation and humour, the cooking and hard core distances you walk! Such beautiful footage of animals. Cant wait for the next vids
Incredible mate always a eventfull and educating vid love your camera work and yes that is very cold im from Queensland and ive never seen or touched snow so looking forward to the first time 😂
Another classic adventure, great animal footage thanks Tasman. I love the ‘It’s not really cold’ comment as you’re standing outside your tent ankle deep in snow wearing only jandals and shorts. Brilliant! And travelling with an ever growing swag of accoutrements - chopping board, grinder, colander and freshly tuned ice skates! Someone sponsor him a new billy...c’mon.
Hi Tasman, enjoyed watching this video and the others for that matter. Your photography and dialogue is improving all the time. It’s so good it’s like being there, so thanks for doing it so I can watch your adventures warm and cozy in bed. Keep it up !!! Scott
Hi Scott! Thanks very much 😁 I'm glad the quality is noticably improving :). Hahaha it's my pleasure, thanks for watching em! Hope you enjoy Antarctica 😁
Tasman, I really enjoy your TH-cam content. And I am not even a hunter... I appreciate your understanding and respect for nature and the outdoors... and you taking only what you need to eat. Ka pai, fella. On a different not, how the hell are you not freezing your ass off wandering about in the snow in jandals and shorts!?!? I feel cold just watching you. 😀
Ah that's so cool, I'm stoked you're enjoying the content! Thanks so much, gotta respect our precious ecology aye 😊. What we have in nz is truly special. 😂😂 it was actually pretty warm this trip, up around 0 degrees C, plus I run pretty warm, only cooling off when I stop 😆. Cheers!
What an extraordinary trip. Thanks for the hard work in putting it on video for all of us to see. Some serious skills required there. Not sure which was the funniest part.. either the SKATING😂 or your comment " I like to travel light"..
That dead stag was gross, but more gross was cutting those antlers off at the end. What are you doing to do with them? I am always impressed how you cope so easily in freezing temperatures. You must have anti freeze in your blood. And that Wallaby … I had no idea they could be eaten. Are they just as delicious as Tahr or Deer? The winter scenery is so much more epic with the ice….even though you’re such an ice vandal. Although it did look quite harsh and bleak with the rock and overcast conditions sometimes. How many people were waiting for the ice skates, and Tasman, to disappear through the lake. Winter Olympics are when? With this video, you really perfected the “shakes head” and “lip action to match” to signal no luck. Trademark that. It’s epic, gets a smile every time. The marshmallow bull. I know exactly why you said it, but what a combination of words. Like marshmallow Iron Man, or mash mellow Mike Tyson. I felt sorry for the bull…. All that marsh mellow teasing. Another artistic picture, rather than phrase, is the ice skater with the rifle set up on the ice, or the gourmet wallaby meatball-making with the rifle in the background. The marshmallow hunter perhaps 😊 Like a previous video that cloud in the valley was so pretty… right until it decided to come up the mountain. What would you have done if they had come up the mountain further and reduced visibility to zero - just try and GPS back to camp watching every step I guess? So much snow at the end. Very pretty though. It did feel like you omitted a lot of “professional do not attempt” warnings. Esp some of that day 6 stuff in deep snow with cloud nipping at your heels, and then the white out.
Ahaha what I showed in the video was nothing you shoulda seen the horror movie scene when I was cutting the head off, hundreds of maggots and slimy grey gooey flesh 🤢😂. I've got the antlers in the backyard, rotting the remaining flesh off, will euro mount em after whitening. Maybe I do have antifreeze for blood! But only when I'm active 😂. Yep wallaby tastes fantastic! Just as good, really sweet and not particularly distinct, probably have difficulty picking it out from beef in a curry. Winter is so pretty with the snow! Thankfully this ice was really thick, in fiordland last month I found a lake with only 4-5cm ice, thick enough to stand on but safe to say I stayed in the shallows near the edges! If I got into the winter Olympics for skating, I would score zero points and a concussion 🤣. Haha I speak so little normally I gotta get that non-verbal communication tidied up! I'm sure the bull can handle a bit of light teasing 😂 Definitely some really pretty scenery! If the cloud had come over if woulda been fine since it was an almost flat sidle back to camp 😁. GPS as a good backup though! Hmmmm you're right maybe I should have chucked in some "beware, don't do dis", but I'm sure most people who aren't prepared won't 🤷♂️😂. Cheers Paul, phat comment 😁😂
@@NZWildAdventures phat... very phat comment... but what choice did I have, it was a phat video. You def should have described the magot scene, even got chat gpt to script it for maximum disgusting.

And a colander to strain the pasta 😅

I'm sure the bull can handle a bit of light teasing 😂
Definitely some really pretty scenery! If the cloud had come over if woulda been fine since it was an almost flat sidle back to camp 😁. GPS as a good backup though!
Hmmmm you're right maybe I should have chucked in some "beware, don't do dis", but I'm sure most people who aren't prepared won't 🤷♂️😂. Cheers Paul, phat comment 😁😂
@@NZWildAdventures phat... very phat comment... but what choice did I have, it was a phat video. You def should have described the magot scene, even got chat gpt to script it for maximum disgusting.
@pauldavies4870 quite a phat video 😂. That's a good idea, I'll remember that for next time! Just found your email, will reply at some point :)
Another excellent episode!
"I'm a big fan of super light packing," and then you cut to the meat grinder 😄!
