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 😁

[@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!

[@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!

[@ChasingaPlate]

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

[@NZWildAdventures]

Cheers Thomas! Really appreciate it 😊

[@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!

[@RoryAttwood-f4z]

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

[@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!

[@RaviSingh-kn2yo]

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

[@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 😁

[@claphamboysoutdoor]

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

[@NZWildAdventures]

😂😂 glad I didn't end up as his dinner 😂 cheers!

[@enochbobo3256]

Love your videos Tasman ,keep it up.

[@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 🤙

[@huttboynz4422]

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

[@mickmccauley8828]

loving this series mate, amazing job well done👍

[@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 😂

[@Bosshogg420]

Been great following you on your adventure of a lifetime 👍

[@kiwigecko1]

[@deanfarr2619]

[@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 😁

[@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!

[@generalunas]

Amazing bro, well done!

[@cory_hugs7850]

What a trip! You’ll be just fine if the lights ever go out, any natural disaster happens around me I’ll be tapping on the local McDonald’s window trying to get a feed 😂 thanks for the escape from reality for a bit, was amazing 🤙🏼

[@NZWildAdventures]

Hahaha love it, though if stuck in chch I'll probs be doing the same 🤣. My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!

[@danielmorton-jones7411]

My wife and I loved watching the series, and telling my mates about it now. Awesome adventures and it’s really cool seeing videos that are actually genuine and down to earth 👌

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks mate! Stoked ya enjoyed it! Cheers 😁

[@mattcross9828]

That was a nice pre xmas 🎉 episode of the outdoorsy hunting and gathering cooking show. I was drewling 😢 after only a few minutes at the culinary delights. Have a great xmas and NY.. 🎄🎊

[@NZWildAdventures]

Stoked you enjoyed it mate! Sorry about that 😂 hard to go hungry in a place like that! Merry Christmas!

[@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]

[@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 😁

What an amazing trip! NZ is such an incredible place. Can't believe you wear jandles in the middle of winter down there...

[@NZWildAdventures]

It was so good! I agree, particularly the south island 😊. Jandals are perfect for all conditions hahaha 😂 besides, wasn't too cold most of the time, only had a night or two under zero.
