Great video guys 😃 We have been with Te Kura for two years and didn't know about the activity fund so thanks for sharing that. Also thanks for the pointer about mentioning that we home school when visiting museums etc. Glad to see you guys are all living your best lives 😀

Hi guys we just saw you on the highway today around road works between Mossburn and Te Anau! Happy travels team LeopardsGoWild!

How cool saw you just now !!husband wanted to waive told him uta not you lol but it was :)

next time your in wellington jump over the hill to masterton and go to the fablab for a great learning experience. (It's free)

A great session on Te Kura and how you can make that work well for your kids. Ka pai Leopardsgowild 😁.

Thank you.

Even though it was from 7 months ago i did enjoy this adventure with your family. My backyard, gotta do the trip again this summer. Love belonging to your channel thank you.

Great insight into the kids learning

Thanks for an insight into your guys schooling adventure. Its amazing what can be achieved each day Mike, and having kids that are motivated really helps. Four of our our 7 kids went to school up to just before intermediate, then we pulled them out to homeschool, our kids would leave home at 7.45 am and get home at 4pm, we felt like we never saw them, dairy farming is a huge time commitment in itself. Our kids did really well and like yours, were motivated, some of them were up doing school work at 6am and have lessons for day done by 9am. You are very fortunate too, in that your guys are learning geography science etc, first hand by the things youdo and places you visit, you are out there in an amazing class room, Leopards. Mike did you get my email, I sent a picture of a T-Rex head skull our eldest son has 3d printed, thought Toby might be keen to see it, if he is I'll send some more of dino's he has printed.

Thanks Mike for giving an inside view of home schooling. You both are doing a fantastic job and I sure the kids are having a ball.

Brilliant. I reckon your kids are getting a well-rounded education. It's not all about academia. From what I see in your weekly episodes, your kids are experiencing much more than the majority of kids who do regular schooling. And a big plus, is having Mum & Dad there to guide them. That doesn't happen in many families. Good on you guys. 😊

Your channel is growing nicely... and so it should. Keep it up 😊

Great video

Great one !!!!! rileys american accent is hilarious lolol, epic vid, so many people with kids tell me this is impossible & i direct them to your channel. those kids are growing up with a respect for the world most dont have until theyre adults.. everyone looks happy! ALMOST AT 10K!??!?!?!!?!? insane dude! have a great day! see yah in the next1!

Thanks for that. Very informative.

They will be so much better prepared for live than any kid just sitting in school ans than sitting at home with their iPads. If that would have been an option for us, we would have done that for sure.

Great Video, fantastic subject, based on your video flexibility is the key, on the kids, parents and Teachers, thanks for sharing

For any body new to your channel student ages maybe a benefit

Hi Leopards. Mike and Sophie, you sound like you have all things sorted. Good stuff. Knowing one or two, that were farming on islands, and on the high country stations, using correspondence lessons, as it was called back then, they seemed to do ok, but this Te Kura system seems to be quite simple, doesn't it.? All the very best, for your futures. That's for the kids. This was a brilliant episode folks. Mike your detailed explanation was a big help in understanding how the system works. But heck man, we gotta get you folks to the 10k subbers mark. I've recommended your channel to mates who I think would be interested. But I don't know if they have followed that through. Yet.!! Anyway take care. Stay warm. Think there's a cold front coming through. Stay safe. Cheers.

What a wonderful lifestyle, experiencing nature as well as full-time parenting. You are doing well, not that you need anyone else approval. While I was teaching part-time four decades ago at my children's school, I'd incorporate homeschooling days these were much appreciated by my children which they mentioned years later which I'm sure your children will share with friends as adults, the books they may write. I look forward to all your videos while imagining I'm there in nature. Have you met any seniors living full-time van life, as I'm seriously planing this as an option.

Really interesting vlog. Thank you for sharing 😊

G,day from across the ditch in Queensland Australia. Geez just love watching your videos and so refreshing to see great family content. Nz is so beautiful, just makes me want to go visit again. Enjoy watching thankyou.

Hi guys. We have just bought a 23’6 JB scorpion sting and was hoping you could do a video on the things you need to do and check before setting off .

Wow thanks for sharing the Leopards gone wild! Arohanui Teresa.😊

Always cool to see them spilling but I thought Benmore was our largest dam.

We are in Cromwell Would of loved to bumped in to you guys

When you were here at Baldwin st our house is 3 streets back on the other side.

My family always camps down the road at the Waikouaiti motor camp every Christmas for a few weeks and I never new that camp was there looks like a camp me and my grandparents might have to try in there camper van, if you come to Dunedin a camp I would recommend is the Taieri mouth holiday camp at Knarston Park it’s great when it’s not to windy but I think you might need to pay, and you can chuck out a fishing rod because the kahawai run up the river this time of year and it’s only a 1 minute walk down onto the beach , safe travels

Love Dunedin and Otago

What a great video - those Lights are amazing - loved the time lapse. We’re in Rotorua at the moment and Toby’s golf ball rolling reminded us of the Zorb!

Awesome video as usual. I downloaded the wiki camps ap, but it wanted me to pay. Perhaps I got the wrong ap?

Great natural views. Even better family views. I love Toby’s creativity. Good job parent Leopards.

My step kids and I would get cockles and pipis from the beach on Waiheke Island and put them into a bowl of fresh water for 10 mins so they'd spit out the sand. Then simmer on the stove and eat them straight from the shells!!

GREAT VID BRO! tobes has some epic imagination!! awesome for riley abt, the horses!!!!!! great vlog tea,. thx for sharing! hope all is well! see yah in the next 1!!!!

Beautiful southern lights! Still can’t believe I went to bed at 11pm and missed the best of it 😂

Gidday Leopards, another great adventure. Boy oh boy you had my mouth salivating, watching Toby cook those cockle fritters, and you are so on to it, they are the sweetest of shellfish. I can remember we camped at Ohiwa campground one time, and some body told us that there were juicy pipis in the Waitahe estuary entrance. So Anne and I walked 4.5k from camp to river entrance, and it was so worth the 9k round trip walk to find some and cook them up as fritters, people thought we were crazy walking that far, but it was truly worth the walk. loved the Aurora lights again Mike, awesome.

Thanks for the cockles tip 😊

Great Arora sky, fritters look good,we'll done Toby 😊

Some great new spots to park at, yes I would try your cockal patties Toby, yum Those Aurora lights were great, nature delivering the goods 👌

We steam the cockles or clams until they open. Then dip the meat into butter, garlic and a bit of vinegar. So yummy! A tangy butter taste.

It is an awesome area to camp at and walk along the beach. There are mussels on the rocks also

Love your videos. The aurora.....WOW, WOW, and WOW. Thanks.

I miss my kids when they were young and we went camping. They are all adults now, my grandson is nearly old enough to take fishing can't wait. Thanks for sharing

Awesome video. Great secenere and Aurora! I was out that night too. Bit not it was not as beautiful on the coast. What do you use to capture it? Thanks

Oh yummmy. I love cockles. 😊

Yes, I would eat one of Toby's fritters. However I used to be a take it straight out of the shell and dip it in vinegar person, I would do that with pippis too. In saying that I am not one for shellfish much anymore. As for the seal pup, looking at it makes me want to take it and look after it until it is old enough, but I am guessing that it must be all right. It looked healthy enough.

Awesome vido, so cool seeing the southern lights, I've never seen them, so definitely bucket listing that event and Toby i would eat those cockle fritters they looked scrumptious. Love this channel, thnx for the views
