Good on you for turning around. Rabbit Pass is certainly not everyone's bag. I would be the same. The drop off into the Matukituki side is apparently just as bad. It is definitely not a walk of shame to turn back!! I used to live in Makarora and the Wilkin holds a special place. Top Forks is one of my favourite spots. Nice to see it again. Thanks for the vid.👍

@onefootinfrontoftheothernz5 ай бұрын
Thanks. I have a few reasons. I enjoy creating movies of the fun we have in the outdoors four our own memories and record, especially with our kids and other family I finally got them to the point that I felt they were good enough to share with the wider world. We are also pretty experienced hikers and have done some cool tramps and wanted to share that knowledge with others. Finally, as we embark on our thru-hike of the Pacific Northwest Trail in the USA, we wanted a place to share this adventure with friends, family and other interested people. We've also created a website to go with it. (onefootinfrontoftheother.nz) The as-we-go videos will be different as we hike the PNT and travel in South America - edited on an iPad using iMovie instead of Final Cut Pro, but I'll do proper edited ones next year when we return home. Not a short answer, sorry but you asked!

Good calls. Definitely reduce the undies to 2 pairs. Good to see you got a Montbell windshirt. I'm looking at getting one of those Macpac alpha tops as I've heard very good stuff about them. I did a 6 day winter trip recently into Mungo Hut (with 2 days track work en route) and carried 11kg all up. My base weight was 7kg and I added 3kg of food and a gas canister, a 400g DCF tarp and PLB as party gear plus I had the secateurs for the track work. I carried my ice-axe in my hand.

The alpha tops are great - so light. My brain is currently struggling with the 'but this is an 85 day tramping trip!'

@BellaVista14705 ай бұрын
It would be interesting to see your lighter pack spreadsheet, and see what your overall gear weight is. Like you I love Cactus stuff and would like to support NZ brands as I have done for years (I'm from Dunedin), but I get the impression we are very behind in the development of the ultralight philosophy in NZ. I am getting older and my body isn't as limber as 20 years ago, but I still want to go tramping, so over the last few years I have gradually forked out quite a bit of money to swop out my tent, sleeping bag and sleeping mat to lighter and more modern versions. I have also pared down the clothing and cooking kit. I took the plunge and bought a Hyperlite Mountain Gear pack a few months ago, and it is a dream to carry! Some gear is a really expensive outlay, but if you think of the money you are spending travelling to the USA and walking for several weeks, I personally think its worth it to spend the money on quality light gear that you will hopefully use for years to come. Check out Lauren Roerick's channel- she is a Canadian woman who has done multiple thru hikes including the Te Araroa and seems to manage with a fairly minimal amount of gear. Thanks for your content, and good luck with your trip!
@onefootinfrontoftheothernz5 ай бұрын
Totally agree that lightweight is behind here. We have done the same with gear over the last couple of years. We went from a 3kg tent to 1.3kg and now to 550g. I put a post on our website about our pack/sleep/tent choices which I can't link on the FB page. Thanks, I''ll check out that channel too. I will share the lighterpack pies but I have had to redo them as I mucked things up and have to start again.
@BellaVista14705 ай бұрын
@@onefootinfrontoftheothernz Aha I had a look at your website and you have obviously been through a similar process of gear research and lightening the load to me! I love my old Macpac Ascent pack from the year 2000 (although terrible for water bottles) and Minaret tent and used to carry it solo with a digital SLR camera!! I hope the Durston dyneema tent and all the rest of the gear works out well for you. Love the videos, thanks.
@multisportscott5 ай бұрын
Another fantastic vid. Thanks so much for sharing. Heading off the do the Paparoa this coming weekend so this is particularly timely! Can I ask about the carry method for the Canon camera on the hip belt (sorry I don't know your names). In fact, a gear review video would be great from you guys as your kit looks very dialled. Cheers, Scott
@onefootinfrontoftheothernz5 ай бұрын
Hi - we both use Capture Clips and it just differs where we mount them. Matt put his on the hip belt - by cutting a slit to get it through - because his shoulder strap was too wide to get it around. Capture clips are really the way to go. I did worry about the camera on his hip when it got a bit scambly though! If the weather's good, don't miss Croseus Knob. We wanted to do the Pike sidetrip too but the track wasn't open when we did it last year.

There is a video on my channel that is only the Dore Pass section. This has more on that section. I try and keep my videos to 5-10 minutes for shorter trips. I found the track was better than my expectations. I think it’s being used much more now and it had been very recently marked.

Yes. It was mid-summer and the track had been newly marked with plastic snow poles . I’m not sure how they will stand up in the winter. On the whole, it’s a decent track through the bush sections.
@gjcoop56258 ай бұрын
That is more straightforward than some accounts I have read. Some of those snow poles may be new. It's probably harder when visibility is poor or you are doing it in the off-season, with limited light and real time pressure, but it's useful to know to sidle across to that ridge. Great views.
