29 Day Solo Adventure in New Zealand | Catch n Cook Doubtful Sound | Part 4

[@KimMikeWheeler]

Tasman your courage, resourcefulness, attitude and energy are so admirable. I love all your content but this series has been breathtaking, nek level awesome. You were blessed with great weather and didn't waste a moment of it. I love the drone footage, cray pot, cooking segments and your explanations of how you managed to power your gizmos. Like you I feel compelled to explore so find you very inspirational, look forward to shaking your hand someday. Big fan.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words 😁. Super stoked you enjoyed this trip as I did! It's comments like yours that make making these vids so worth it 😊. Thats epic, possibly see ya out there one day! Cheers 😁

[@claphamboysoutdoor]

That leopard seal was assessing your suitability for a catch and cook - human. Well done again.

[@nigelwilson8292]

Legend status achieved (in that you made it to the End of mission...). I loved every moment you shared with us. Thankyou so much Tasman

[@NZWildAdventures]

Really appreciate it Nigel! Stoked you enjoyed, it's my pleasure to share it with you all 😁

[@philipwilkie3239]

Well that was a fantastic wrap-up. Trust me - when you're a lot older you will look back on these trips with both nostalgia and deep gratitude. Well done for making the most of the chance you had here.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Cheers Philip! Yes I'm sure you're right 😊 already I'm super glad to have our earliest videos still there to look back on and bring those memories back afresh 😁. Thanks for the comment!

[@kenlogan104]

Tasman, one day you will have to tell us where you learned your exceptional outdoor skills. Thanks for an extraordinary trip.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks very much Ken 😁. Gotta keep some secrets eh haha 😂, nah growing up remote in the Marlborough Sounds with awesome capable parents certainly helps 😊. My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@shaemurray2521]

Recently come across your videos...unreal bro!wouldn't be many around that would be this comfortable with the missions you are doing.inspiring mate!Definitely a standout amongst all these catch n cook type videos aswel, churrr!

[@NZWildAdventures]

I really appreciate it mate! Thanks so much 😁

[@RaviSingh-kn2yo]

What an epic adventure, just awesome, really enjoy watching your vids👍🏾👍🏾

[@ChasingaPlate]

What a series. Just brilliant the whole time. You’re an inspiration. Cheers, Thomas

[@NZWildAdventures]

Cheers Thomas! Really appreciate it 😊

[@jjgrant6711]

Should do a video on everything you took with with you. A month is a long time to live out of an irb. Hell of a mini series to watch 🤙🤙

[@NZWildAdventures]

Haha good idea, will have to do so next time! Cheers!

[@roo7963]

You're a bloody legend Tasman. The courage you have for taking on NZ,s most wild coast line in the "Red Current" is truly amazing. Love your kiwi ingenuity shown throughout your adventure. Thankyou for sharing this with us all . 🦾

[@NZWildAdventures]

Cheers mate 😆, I really appreciate it! She's such a trusty wee vessel, makes a big trip so fun. My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@huntnheads7945]

Wow, that's one big inspiring trip , and in such a humble vessel. I'm so impressed, deff one of best nz channels.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words 😁

[@RichardJackRobertson]

The Weka was so enterprising - I think we underestimate how intelligent birds are. The leopard seal was as big as your boat - I think he would have tipped you over to have a closer look if he was given the opportunity! Cray pot proven again. Good judgement 3 litres - luck? The weather goods were truly with you - winter is the time to go there - counter intuitive it is. Thanks so much for sharing your courageous and epic journey Tasman. Great viewing and such an amazing place. A lot of editing also!! Wishing you a great 2025

[@NZWildAdventures]

Gotta wonder if old mate weka ended up there intentionally though 😂 they are so smart aye, I grew up around the damned things, cheekier than Kea I reckon! Such funny birds, I'm glad we have em though 😂. So glad that leopard seal didn't jump in! Would've gone from zero to a hundred real quick 😂. I figured once within Doubtful I could relax on the fuel rationing aye, what's a simple 20km paddle 😅😂. It's my pleasure, stoked you enjoyed the trip! 45 hours on this vid 😆. Hope you have a great new year too! Cheers 🤙

[@mickmccauley8828]

loving this series mate, amazing job well done👍

[@MFoden]

Absolutely amazing trip. You lived like a pauper and ate like a king. I wish I had the guts and the knowledge to do what you do. Fantastic. Just one question, how does your Mum feel, watching what you get up to?

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks Mark! Hard to go hungry in a place like that! Guts, or foolhardy-ness 😂😂. Hahaha she definitely wasn't impressed with the 4 whole weeks of no contact 😂 but she loves the videos! Cheers 😁

[@RoryAttwood-f4z]

Wicked bro....SPONSORS get this man some new gears😅😅

[@tleej26]

Absolutely epic series, I really enjoy how you put your videos together. Any adventure you seem to be so familiar with the area and know it so well like most of us drive the streets we live.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks so much! Stoked you like the style of the vids 😁. The outdoors is where I'm most comfortable! Though I'm actually hopeless at navigating around town 😂

[@enochbobo3256]

Love your videos Tasman ,keep it up.

[@Katynz]

Thank you for another fantastic video. Our family have been patiently waiting for it. Thanks again. ❤

[@andrewdunn-waipouri9028]

One of the best channels on YT! love your videos Tasman

[@huttboynz4422]

Some trip mate, memories for a lifetime. Not too many lads would do what you do, FairPlay!

[@graemejolliffe6141]

Great work Tasman, what an epic adventure, wish I had the freedom and self belief that you do. Your adventures are awesome, they take me away from life for a while to the wonders of nature when I cant get away, thanks. Keep it up

[@samual3467]

Tasman many thanks. Such a vicarious encounter. Your observations of Flora & Fauna coupled with your interpretations simply draws us in alas wishing for more. Merry Christmas old boy. Health Wealth & Happiness for 2025 and beyond. Best Wishes Sam.

[@NZWildAdventures]

It's my pleasure Sam 🙏, stoked you enjoyed watching! Hoping to go on a good number of trips in the new year so stay tuned for hopefully a more regular upload schedule 🤞. Merry Christmas! Cheers mate you too 🤙

[@SaltyDogs]

You are the man Tasman! Doing that huge adventure in your little boat is incredible! Epic stuff mate!

[@matthewwillcox7184]

Scrolling through the comments I am glad to share the joy you bring to your most marvellous adventures. Merry Christmas Tasman, and love to you and yours x.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks Matthew! The response to these videos has been amazing, makes the editing so worth it 😁. Merry Christmas!

[@JoelsAdventures-jp]

Just wow! Have been waiting for this episode! Look forward to seeing more adventures!

[@billgrice4242]

Brilliant Tasman, what a mammoth trip. But I guess it's what we've come to expect from your numerous adventures - you really don't do 'ordinary'!! For all that I'm amazed your poor banged-up little inflatable is still up to the task! And I can only imagine the looks on the faces of the people you came across down there when they realised your main (only) transport was a 3.6m inflatable!! Well done.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks Bill! Hahaha when it's go time I'm all in 😂 she's such trusty wee vessel aye, gotta replace the plywood bow end floor piece, other than that's she's all good! Hahaha got a few funny looks, but I'm sure they're all used to the nutters in yaks paddling past in the summer months 😂 cheers mate!

[@hunt-fish-nz]

Awesome series Tasman. Most of us could only dream of being able to do a trip like that - and you managed to put it into film. Top marks!

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks! Really appreciate your comment 😁

[@kiwififochef510]

Thanks for sharing Tasman, and keep it up a lot of us would love to be doing something along these lines and this sort of content inspires some of us to get into it. Cheers from a Kiwi far away.

[@NZWildAdventures]

My pleasure! Plenty more to come in the new year, would be awesome if I could do this full time, be like a dream come true. Cheers!

Always a fun filled action packed vid, with plenty of creative cooking. Great you can manage you're onions and garlic to stay good, for the whole duration, in such damp conditions.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it! Mate that food chest I made of ply was the best thing ever, so good to have a rigid, water proof storage thing for food 😁

Great trip. You should apply to be on Alone. I would love to see you on that show.

[@NZWildAdventures]

My pleasure! Thanks for your comment Thomas, and I'm stoked you enjoyed the vid 😁. Happy holidays to you too mate!

[@Outdoorsy7]

Sad it's over 😢 Loved this series, incredible footage of nature at its most glorious. That deep fried cod looked amazing 👏

[@NZWildAdventures]

Don't worry there'll be plenty more spectacular nz to come! I'm stoked you enjoyed it 😊, that cod was so soft and succulent, and crispy on the outside 😋

[@surferscollective613]

Good trip Tasman

[@mikedew380]

Thanks for sharing your adventures and showing of our country. Great footage.

[@NZWildAdventures]

My pleasure! New Zealand is breathtaking 😍

[@pauldavies4870]

That was a very long video.... and there is so much to say, but maybe just the lasting memories. Leopard seal, amazing and terrifying. Lucky Arved is in Ireland, because there was no room in Red Current, how did Tim Tams last 20+ days uneaten.... criminal and the crayfish will be glad that it was only a month.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Will definitely remember this trip fondly for a long time 😊. Glad the leopard seal didn't jump in for sure 😂. Yes he may have struggled to squeeze aboard 😂. And I had like 8 blocks of Whittakers to keep my sweet tooth happy before tucking into the timtams 🤣. Cheers Paul!

[@robthomson6368]

Such a long wait. Best xmas gift. Looking forward to next year's adventures

[@mickyparetoa6794]
