Subscribed, this is just out my back door. I'm planning a North/South trip myself at the moment and a friend put me onto these two videos. Cheers for the content Dave ✌
Thankful for the feedback Peter. Wish we had more time there and might return now I know exactly what I’m up for. Been thinking about you this morning, just working through some ideals. Stay safe, stay dry 😃
Wow Deb, I personally I don’t believe in luck, I believe in intervention. If you have been spared and given more time, and that appears so, then question why and what additional value you were called to deliver to our civilisation? Thanks for watching Deb.
@@OutdoorsmanDave I got given work to do, part of the aids epidemic, had teaching to do. I gave as much as I could. Always grateful my friend. Thanks Dave
Very interesting Dave. A bit of NZ history there that should not be forgotten. BTW I have enjoyed many of your videos. Keep up the great work. It is appreciated. In some of them you have mentioned downloading 1:50,000 topo maps to the phone. What website do you use to get these? Thank you for any advice. I have always been a map and compass man but starting to realize that technology can also be useful. Perhaps a video on this topic plus your Garmin and PLB options would be useful to your subscribers too? Just an idea. Cheers
Thank you, Warwick, and thanks for your recommendations. Yes, it was intentional to raise the awareness of this incident, we only ever seem to speak of Erebus. I use a topo50 app called MapToaster, each island is a one off fee of approx NZD $7.
My Great Uncle Willy had the nearest farm to where the crash took place and looked after all the search and rescue people for the duration of the search. His farm was at Gordon. I imagine all the bodies would have been on his farm before being removed. I'm of the view that the wreckage should have just been left there.
Work through the DC3 video list in description and you’ll find one where we took the ridgeline route up (same as SAR in 1963) from what most likely is the farm you speak of. There was only one body intact, the rest choppered out in bags in parts. The wreckage has spread over a few kilometres.
Great adventure Dave! Quite a special place to visit and remember those who were lost in the tragedy. Good navigation skills and I enjoyed the funny graphics along the way. Thanks for taking us with you! Great number of views on this video in such a short time too - well done! 👍🏼
Thanks for Your feedback and your time to watch Barry. Yes I’m flattered that people think I’m almost as watch worthy as your clips, I pray it continues for us both.
Nice work Dave...good use of music, and aeroplane sounds to make us feel present with u while at the site. May have to go back there with md some time!
Great video Dave, thanks for sharing your adventure. On a side note, do you have any video's on navigation while trying to find some of these interesting features in the back country ? , if not maybe you could one day :)
Thanks Dyson. I use topo50 on phone a lot, Garmin if really stuck but map reading and interpretation always. I’ll give it some thought but not sure I’m the best qualified to teach..
@@OutdoorsmanDave thanks for that, I am think we are all still learning especially with topo map 50 App and we all have little gems to give even if you or I think we don't.
Wow, thanks for sharing this intrepid journey. ❤️ I genuinely enjoyed watching this because I love being out in the wild bush as well, it's an amazing experience eh! 🌿 You guys are great tramping buddies and you bounce off each other well. 😊 I could really feel the wairua in the bush and stream at the site of the crash, and I too thought of the souls of the 23 people. 💕 I found myself wondering what the last thoughts and words were of each individual, especially the pilots when they realised that they were done. 😢 Thanks again for a special treat in watching this. I am binge watching NZ tramping and bushcraft videos during this current lockdown August 2021! 😅
Thanks, Mr G and I go way back. We felt it too, very sobering. I’m guessing they were all terrified, zero visibility, turbulence, panic then silence. 😢
Now the wreck has been publicized loudly, there will be hoards of sightseers, souvenir hunters, new tracks, and maybe guided tours. So much for keeping the place "spiritual" and peaceful. Otherwise a good video.
Purple Heart, thanks for your expression of thoughts. The army dynamited the site in 1964 in an attempt to cover it over, though I’ve had locals tell me they could see the sun shining off the wreck in the early years. I’d like to believe (IF) people could find retrievable items that they are good humans that would leave them behind. Every year we make a big noise about ANZACs in an attempt to “lest we forget”, I see this incident, not a lot differently but if we all thought the same, then what an uninteresting society we’d be living in. Thanks for your time, appreciate your perspective.
Amazing video too, thank you.
Thanks, sadly I’ve had to hack it up a bit to satisfy the armchair critics
Awesome Video Dave! just subscribed tonight. i love tramping our country is such a beautiful place
Welcome onboard Garnett, what type of outdoor adventures are you into, day hikes, mountains summits, overnights in huts or tents?
Subscribed, this is just out my back door.
I'm planning a North/South trip myself at the moment and a friend put me onto these two videos.
Cheers for the content Dave ✌
Lucky you, have you done much in the Kaimai?
That was a great adventure. Thanks for taking us along. Congrats on making 1000 subs!
Yes it was, when are you two back on the road?
@@OutdoorsmanDave when we're out of lockdown! And Mike's still working on our van.
There isn’t much better than an adventure with a mate in the hills. Cheers for the shout out at the end and congrats on getting to 1000.
Thanks Jason & thanks for the part you played.
You captured the peace of the site really well. Nicely done.
Thankful for the feedback Peter. Wish we had more time there and might return now I know exactly what I’m up for. Been thinking about you this morning, just working through some ideals. Stay safe, stay dry 😃
Great video. Only ever really hear about Erebus. Thanks for the history lesson. Cheers
I know right, why I wonder? Thanks for watching Lance.
Sad for loss of life. I was meant to be on the Erebus flight, but chickened out. Lucky lady, though did lose 3 friends. RIP all. Thanks lads.

@@debramage739 There you go Deb, thanks for doing that work to help people.
Thanks for all info about the air disaster. Your video should be show like documentary on TV!
Thanks VS, I'm not that clever. What's your next adventure?
Thankyou, and welcome onboard, how were you introduced to this community please?

A very interesting video Dave. Well done.
The crash is definitely on my list to hopefully check out one day.
Cheers
Thanks for stopping by Zeb. I’d be open to accompany you when that time comes. Stay safe, stay dry 😉

@@OutdoorsmanDave That's interesting. Will have a look, thanks.
Here it is th-cam.com/video/ftT2nq6JX-Q/w-d-xo.html is it the same farm, it’s directly below the crash site. Future videos show more of it.
Really interesting, and sad, history Mr Dave. Well done.
Thanks Joshua, let’s hope it remains NZ worst local air disaster. For now though, it’s that jolly Delta lady impacting us all. Go well.

Thanks buddy. I’ve got two adventures in mind, I’ll send an invite once I sure up some plans. Cheers for your input.
I considered heading up to Kauritatahi Hut on my latest trip but DOC say the track is closed. Has anyone been up there lately?
Yes but so is the large slip
😃Cool New Zealand Video! I do video in New Zealand as well but I do ride Bmx.
I just subscribed to you
Thanks Lulu, appreciate the sub, for your genre, you may like to see a friends channel “Scooter Brad” for filming ideas.

@@OutdoorsmanDave I believe that the bulk of the site was concreted over some years later, again by the Army
No concrete just rocks from dynamiting the cliff face above.
