Bushcraft Camp on a Beach - New Zealand Solo Overnight

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks for watching guys. Does anyone know what those bugs crawling under the rocks were? Cheers

[@jasonedwardledburynewzeala9897]

Na. Sorry cant help there.

[@zaneoneill2045]

Sounds like the "mount Mauler"

[@solarwind1469]

Yep - they're what we used to call "sand hoppers". Very common on NZ beaches everywhere. They also nip bare skin, so beware...

Sand fleas

Suggestions maybe don't pitch your fly down wind from your fire 🔥 👍 Good video

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks haha. Always learning.

Thanks for sharing this channel brother! I’ve subscribed and I’ll be watching more 👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽😎🍻

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks for the tip Jason. Unfortunately there wasn't any close enough by for me to be bothered with it. Cheers

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Never knew you had a drone, like the tripod and knot, very clever.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Yeah I've had it for a while. I've only used in a few videos. It's the only way I tie a tripod now since I found out about it. Super handy. Cheers Dave

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

@@BackcountryKiwi I've been thinking about a compact drone for my channel but concerned about the authenticity or look for my primitive bushcraft. battery & the legals?

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Yeah this wasn't on DOC land so it was all good. But the reason I haven't used mine much is you have to get a permit from DOC for each area you want to fly in. Costs money and is a pain in the ass. Cheers

[@floydkingi4364]

Thats the life dude, you cant beat it! Especially in good old Aotearoa

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks Floyd! Yup it sure was an awesome spot to be. Cheers.

[@WildMan307Outdoors]

New Zealand looks amazing.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

It sure is a beautiful place. Thanks for watching! Cheers

[@trishburrell8100]

Great video I really enjoyed this very nice and relaxing video. They're called a sand scarab beetle. They are native to New Zealand, and are found on beaches throughout New Zealand. That was a great attempt on the spoon. Next time you'll get it (- ; Beautiful sunset scenery of the ocean. I really enjoy watching all your videos. Thanks for your great entertainment.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks very much! And yes I think you are right about the sand scarab so thanks for clearing that up! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers

[@ReviloNZwalks]

Absolutely awesome bro. Your bushcraft skills are straight up educational to me. I'm sure a lot of tasks don't come easy but you clearly have a sound foundation of research and determination to make them work

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks bro. It's not all plain sailing, there is a lot of trial and error but I enjoy the learning process. Glad you are maybe learning something aswell. Cheers mate.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Hey Chris. Thanks for the kind words really pleased you enjoyed the video. I've been wanting to do a tarp set up like that for a while now and I was quite happy with how it turned out. Cheers

[@jasonedwardledburynewzeala9897]

Great looking spot.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks it was really nice

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

haha that spoon would have worked if it was needed. great vid mate enjoyed the drone shots. looks like you're hat had ash or coal on it haha

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks Corey. The spoon sure wasn't pretty haha. It was fun to take the drone out, hoping to get it into more videos. Yeah the hats gotten a bit dirty and beat up it needs a clean. Cheers mate

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

also what sleeping mat was that?

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thermarest Neo air x therm. It is pretty pricey, I got mine second hand and it still wasn't cheap but it is IMO one of the best mats out there. Hasn't let me down yet. Cheers

Hey buddy, those drone shots are awesome. I love to see the bush and sea around you. Maybe some info on the region /area you are in would be great for viewers. Your doing great.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Thanks Adam. I've had the drone for ages and I'm trying to use it more as I enjoy the new dynamic it adds. This was along the west coast of the south island, I'll try to add more detail kn future videos. Cheers

Where can I get a knife/chopper like the large one you use ( the one with the leather sheaf) Great vlogs Regards Jim ( got a six week trip to the South Island in October)

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Hey Jim. The knife was made for me by Caleb Cox on the BCUSA forum. The style of knife is known as a tracker or WSK. A decent manufactured model would be the tom brown tracker by TOPS. Hope that helps. Enjoy your South Island trip! It's a beautiful place. Cheers

Hey brother, im from NZ as well... What beach or town is that? looks nice and remote away from our crazy society lol... You not have to say exactly was just wondering what area as it looks nice and peaceful as most beaches have towns associated close to them in NZ lol

Hello! 👋😀

Take the ridges out of your ferro rod with a file. And coarse sander paper.

Thanks, my ferro rod wasn't ridged but it is more used in the middle so it makes it a bit more awkward to use. Cheers
