    It’s so nice to not have to hear the rain on the tarp … it’s ok if it’s for a few minutes of a video but when it’s the whole time, it’s actually not pleasant. Thank you for the relief. 🙏🏻💖

      You are welcome. If I could get mother nature to do what I wanted I would plan the ultimate camping weather, clear and crisp for the walk in, then a beautiful sunset, then evening rain, raining all night, then waking to a clear sunny day again. That way it would just be a bit on rain and not too much.

    • @adventureot
      @adventureot  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      On this trip I took in 1 litre in my drink bottle, and then a 2litre water bladder that I filled at the last stream. I also drunk from the rivers. It was more than enough for Indi and I and a bit for a small hot water bottle and to put out the fire. Usually I don't carry more than 1 litre as there are plenty of rivers in NZ. If I know there won't be water at my camp though, I fill up the 2litre as well. Just makes things very heavy for that portion of the journey.

      Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I like that idea 'self sufficiency can be cumbersome', it sums it up well. I am so glad the videos are helpful. I find food to be such an important part of a trip. When you have had a hard day food is everything! Just getting to sit down to a nice meal is so rewarding. I cut corners on this trip but usually I think it through very carefully and make sure I take fresh tasty ingredients, things that are quick and easy to prepare, so that I can really enjoy my meal.

I once set up camp in a huge empty campground and went for a bushwalk only to come back to someone set up right in front of me blocking the view. They could have camped a hundred meters away in either direction but no! Right in front of me.

If you don’t have a special insurance policy that covers a rescue you pay out of pocket and that can be very costly! Tens of thousands of dollars! Enjoyed the video! Always love seeing Indi!

Took about 2 -3 hours . The main thing was that in many places the track was only one person wide and even though it was daylight it was still dangerous for the injured and uninjured.

      Oh yes, single track would be really hard.

    Hello Cathy, greetings from the Tararuas, watching you climb back to your tent made me smile. I have done that so many times and it never gets any easier. I have even done two trips down to the bush line and back up again just to get enough firewood. Never had to use my PLB yet, had it for so long now, even had a change of battery. So, when do we use the PLB, you ask? I fell down the mountain a few years back and obtained 6 gashes and one fractured sternum. It was winter, it was dark, and it was raining. I was with another person, they wanted to activate the PLB, I said no, and I didn't want to put anyone else at risk. So, I walked out (very slowly). In hindsight, I was silly not to activate it. I genuinely thought that it was my problem and had to deal with it, but now I would, older and wiser, Enjoyed the video. ATB Cheers from the mighty Tararuas. 😊😊

      Ha ha, glad to know you could have a little laugh and know the feeling of that mission to get firewood when you have dogged determination and refuse to give up. Oh yes, we like to be self-sufficient don't we! As someone else commented ... 'it can be cumbersome'. There is a balance between being tough and knowing when to ask for help. I don't think it's easy.

      Yes boggy ground can be so unpredictable. We have thick tussock grass and that can hide what is lurking underneath.

      I think I recall watching that video of hers (maybe 12 months ago??). If I recall correctly it took her hours to cross a small area because it was so boggy. I recall the emotion of it. Not fun.
