It's so nice that you get to see the sunshine on your hike as well. I miss those views! ❤ As a US guy states, "hikers hike"!

Seeing this brings back memories of my journey there, the climbers memorial is a surreal place, only a couple of weeks after i got home from my trip, the film everest was on tv, i couldnt help but be moved that when the climbers walk past the memorial in the film, are now the very people who are immortalised at the very spot.

Nice video. It brings back memories. Years ago my mates and I culled goats from Leitches right down the Awakino river. It is rugged and wet but that kind of country has an allure for sure. We found wild settler potatoes growing not far from where Sam's whare would have been.
@FreewheelingKiwi
@FreewheelingKiwi Ай бұрын
Thanks for your support Jason. On my first visit, there were four goat cullers based at the hut, they’d been there for quite some time. Flown in and out with their supplies and dogs 🚁. Interesting about the potatoes and a nice addition to a bit of fresh meat 🍖🥔

I have done a lot of tramping in New Zealand on both great walks, busy trails and less popular trails. I also (like another commenter) admire your tenacity, and agree with a lot of the good advice that you have given in this video. You obviously relish type 2 and type 3 fun. However I think its disingenuous to imply that one can "stay dry" in all situations, as in my experience even with expensive gortex jackets etc, getting wet is inevitable on some days. And I admire your attitude about getting out there enjoying the wilderness regardless of the forecast, but not sure this is totally wise. I think it is sensible to adapt your departure date if you can by 1-2 days if there looks like a better weather window, though I know this is not always possible. But sometimes cancelling a trip is necessary. And despite personal locator beacons, the rescue teams/helicopters cannot necessarily help in really bad weather or may be very delayed in coming to one's aid. Thanks for the great videos, and enjoy the trails! Nga mhi ☔☔
@FreewheelingKiwi
@FreewheelingKiwi Ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and they are good points you raise ☔️ Absolutely agree that sometimes it’s necessary to postpone or even cancel, flexibility is essential. I don’t go into the wilderness regardless of the forecast, I give great regard to the forecast, the possible conditions, the trail infrastructure and any number of other factors. Lol yes I enjoy Type 2 but would far prefer a blue sky day with soaring temperatures over our typical weather 🌦️ 😀
