I was just thinking how helpful a video like this would be! My New Years resolution this year is to spend more time outside and hiking near home is on my list!
Awesome to meet you at camp last night and chatting this morning getting to know you both. Enjoy the rest of the trip and looking forward to seeing the adventures and the pic of alex and the Llama this morning. Stay safe
Must be an amazing trail! We can't imagine having something like this here in the Netherlands. I will definately be following your channel, so I have subscribed. Happy trails!
We are very blessed here in New Zealand 🇳🇿, with the incredible outdoor playground right on our doorstep, no matter where in the country we live! 👍🏾😁🌿💖🙆🏻♀️
Great vid. How did you cope with the rain? Heard mixed reviews of the helium. Did you miss rain pants? I'm Irish and over hear wind, rain and damp are the main struggles (along with the fecking soul destroying bogs).
I must have gotten pretty lucky with rain, it did not bother me too much, there was one pretty bad storm. But I just took a day off for it. The helium Jacket was light, durable and fairly inexpensive. But really was more weather resistant than anything. If you do not like being wet, I would not recommend. I have never really found a jacket that is not 2 KGs that actually keeps the water out. So having something light that keeps the wind off is a nice tradeoff for me. The weather in New Zealand is (I know this is going to be considered very controversial because temperature is so subjective) what I would consider quite warm, so in most cases when it was raining I did not even bother putting the jacket on. Also for that reason I almost never wear rain pants unless it is winter (5c or below) but I really Don't mind being wet.
Great gear choices. That trail looks amazing. I would love to hike in New Zealand someday. I think they filmed a lot of Lord of The Rings there. That would be amazing to see in person. New follower here. Crow
Your camera is the third heaviest item - for myself, I’d go with a really good cell phone with complimentary camera I.e Samsung S22u. This would also eliminate cable, charger ect.
Yeah, I initially started the trail without the camera and 1/4 way though ended up buying one. Partly because I have always wanted a full frame camera, but also because I was hiking with a mate that had one and his photos picked up so much more light and turned out way more vibrant than mine in my phone. The video quality was pretty amazing as well. Id probably leave the stove behind before the camera moving forward, but hey that could change.
I have a question about your Tent. How dry did you stay with a mesh inner tent in the damp conditions in NZ. Would you recommend this tent (for two people) or do you have another suggestion in hindsight? Appreciate your response 🙂
Stayed very dry for the TA, I would recommend that tent overall. It was a great tent. The only down side is it’s a bit expensive. I shared it with another person. Did not mind since we also stayed in a lot of huts. Maybe go for a three person if you like having the extra space.
Just wondering if you did the whole hike with just the 5 000 power bank ?! I’m going to do the TA with my camera but I was more considering a 20 000mah
A little over half way I switched to a 10,000. Editing video on my phone took up a lot of my battery. I carried two camera batteries one in the camera and one spare and the camera never died.
@@optical3448 I just recently discovered this sweet case amzn.to/43WAoZa Not sure if you live somewhere they can ship this, or if you use sony. I think the make it for canon and other brands as well. Its a fast charger for camera batteries that doubles as a power bank so you can charge your phone off of it as well. might be worth a look. i'll be using this on my next big trip. im sure the provided camera batteries are not very good but just slap your own into it.
I wore a medium, I’m 5’8”. www.hyperlitemountaingear.com/pages/hiking-backpack-size-chart This is a really helpful way to figure out what pack is best for you.
That's not a weird question. Typically I would buy food as I went. In increments of 1 to 7 days typically. I would eat things like this th-cam.com/video/i1wY8OFaozk/w-d-xo.html
Please post a mustache review/what you keep in that lip broom
Hahahhaha The mustache is definitely not ultra light.

You should do some sections of the iron belle trail!
Awesome Gear and great gear choices as well. The TA must be an amazing trail.

Great content ☺️👍
My base weight is almost identical 😅 but I have a heavy ass Osprey pack…
Hahahhaha 😶I had one for years as well. Super comfortable. Not super light.

@@MoveWithMurph Thank you for your quick response and experience - good to know!

@@MoveWithMurph ok thanks ! I’ll dot more photos and editing on the phone too so might go with a 10 000mah to start !

This may be a silly question...but what about food?
That's not a weird question. Typically I would buy food as I went. In increments of 1 to 7 days typically. I would eat things like this th-cam.com/video/i1wY8OFaozk/w-d-xo.html
You forgot to mention your Rogaine
Hahaha that’s a consumable!
You never showed us where you keep your dild0. I pack a vibram 5 titanium ultalite
I don’t have one. I like to keep it ultralight and ultra tight.
I love the moustache
Thanks!
