  • I hike through stunning NZ bush and camp overnight in an epic location. The Ballroom Overhang is a giant limestone formation in Paparoa National Park. There is 8 river crossings to reach the overhang which is along the Fox River.

    Intro was cool, i like the music with it. Very awesome area. Nice weather, great scenery. Was that stinging nettle after the kawa kawa shot? Were there any crawlies there? That would have made a good addition to your dinner. Great video, epic views. Awesome spot. Just a Question about your trekker knife. Is that a tops? And what model? Keep the great content coming. Can't wait for the next installment.😊👍👏👏👏 oh, is ok to ask your name? Thanks, jas frm pahiatua.🙂
