You are a damn filmmaker... You know how to tell story and how to engage your audience.. Actually you made us travel along with you through this video. I wish this video never ends.

[@jakesentz2621]

I can't believe you only have 400 subscribers, this video is so well done! I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos.

[@ChaseCostner]

Thanks Jake!

[@lennonscards5953]

I’ll add one, before even watching :)

[@user-uq4uk4jb2g]

صراحة كنت متأكب وكنت كاره حتي الحياة لاني لا استطيع مغادرة المنزل صار لي شهر بسبب كوفيد لكن بالصدفة شاهدت هالفيديو .. صراحة قلب مزاجي كله لان اعطاني الهدوء والسكينة ..ريحني لانه مريح للاعصاب ..رغم اني سافرت نفس المكان وعملت نفس المغامرة قبل خمسة اشهر واشتقت لها .. بالمناسبة هناك شئ لم تعمله وبنظري اهم شئ واجمل شئ في نيوزلاند وهو ركوب سفينة او عبارة لمدة ساعة حول ملفورد ساوند ..صراحة صعقت عندما وصلت انت هناك ولم تعمل هالمغامرة

I’m a kiwi and I’ve never explored the west coast so I’m watching lots of video’s to plan my own solo road trip. This is very beautifully filmed and one of the best video’s I’ve seen showing the South Island!

[@ChaseCostner]

Thanks for watching! The South Island is incredible, definitely want to spend some more time there

[@nurhayatiasyrhaaf9468]

Hi! Maybe we can explore together! Its such a beautiful country :)

[@jetsantos1409]

This should be on NETFLIX tho. It totally perfect, everything is.

[@LisaSilvt]

Oh man this video is devine, nothing else to say ! Perfect set up, perfect landscapes and perfect contents. Glad to finally came across this South Roadtrip Journey 🙌

[@rebecca-uf4qu]

[@MarkClaudio]

Chase, your videos are so good. The pacing and storytelling are always on point. Not to mention your music choice to set the tone. New Zealand looks so awesome.

[@ChaseCostner]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 New Zealand is amazing, especially in the winter

[@davidfeather3880]

A well presented and very informative video, well done guys from a New Zealander.

[@dexattech]

One of the best traveling video i ever watched 😍

[@banditoo7]

Fantastic bit of filmmaking. Thank you for showcasing my Country in such a beautiful way. I hope you will return again one day. I don't know why you don't have 200k+ subscribers. You certainly deserve it.

[@dib4152]

Beautiful video. Hilarious that he got every single place name pronunciation wrong. At least he's consistent!

Your New Zealand VLOG video is epic! With your captivating visual story-telling, you deserve more subscribers in the future.

[@curashag]

[@washingtonsmythe2]

Great video. You deserve more views. Really liked the drone clips.

[@zakiahzidni4369]

[@dannydobe1519]

Excelente

[@tenypaul5219]

Wow amazing vlog...

[@kayneduncan8721]

Epic video 🙌👌

[@lavs8848]

This is perfection, interesting to know why you haven't continued to create content with talent like this!

[@tim_mueller]

Hey, loved the video, I will do the same thing starting next year but not for days, more like for 5ish month, really looking forward to it.

[@justapersontrying]

Wow, this is something I’ve dreamed of doing for years! Road tripping and camping around New Zealand for a week or two, I’m so jealous! A statement and a couple questions: Subscribed because I really enjoy your filming/editing style; not disappointed!! Because I want to do this one day, hopefully within the next couple years: Did you have to book the helicopter rides and hikes online for specific dates? How did you navigate? Was it Google Maps or an ACTUAL map situation happening? Not sure what kind of signal you get out there, lol. Thanks for the video!! Really loved it ☺️☺️☺️

[@ChaseCostner]

Thanks for watching! For the heli hike, we booked with this company - www.foxguides.co.nz/flying-fox-heli-hike/ Might have to reserve your spot in advance during the summer, but we had no issue booking two days before in the winter! For navigating - we bought a SIM card with 40GB of data, but don't expect to see much cell service. The towns and campsites will have some, as well as wifi (capped at a couple MB), but during the drives I had an offline save on google maps

[@oibaf1420]

Awesome video :)

[@samschlossberg476]

Very good video

[@davidbell1676]

My travel tip is try not to dlrive at night people coz you'll miss alot of amazing scenery in the south island and best seen by driving to west coast 1st then Queenstown milford Mt cook.

[@faliq0826]

This video is marvelous! You should have more subscribers I guess.

[@TheCityandBeyond]

This is a very documentary esk video. Great views and captivating color. And you should help Kamau with practicing drone landing 😉

[@ChaseCostner]

I live for the thrill of landing the drone in complicated places lol

[@shaniwv]

B E A U T I F U L L, v professional. Number of views don’t justify the hard work u have put in

[@ChaseCostner]

Thank you, appreciate that!

[@sarahlemon6477]

Hey chase, great Video! Which van did you hire and did you have your heating on during the night so it was okay?

[@apleapleaple]

Omg😘😘😘

[@meenaji4287]

Very beautiful . Can u tell me how to travel to Auckland or wellington from Queenstown? Is there any train or direct flight service

[@Paris45627]

Cows love listening to music they will follow the music so if u have a guitar or a radio they wouldn’t even complain if you sound like crap they love love love love love music they are bored please entertain them they are bored

[@vilm4nte]

What an awesome trip and really well documented! I was worried if winter is a good season to visit NZ, but it looks splendid! May I ask which drone did you use and what is average budget for a 2week camper trip with a heli ride? Tia Great content - keep it up!

[@ChaseCostner]

Thanks for watching! The helicopter was definitely a splurge haha, but cheaper in the winter. Around $300 USD, but was very much worth it and probably the reason I ended up becoming a pilot last year. Don't remember the total cost, but I believe it was under $2000 USD for everything. We also negotiated an off-season rate for the camper van at around $60 per night

[@nicolesummers4429]

Were you not afraid? I mean just you guys and nobody. I’m doing this in 2022 August. I think it would freak me out. You guys did an awesome presentation. Bless you, you don’t make bacon you cook it lol. Loved your video. As a professional Voice over I know talent when I see it

[@christopherrowe2720]

How was August? I'm looking at doing the same thing this year. Was there plenty of snow?

[@TheAmjad21khan]

Did Hans Zimmer worked on Background score ??? It reminds me of Interstellar.. where did you get BGM from?

[@alisaleonie]

How did you handle the drone regulations? I saw that you flew it in several forbidden areas, oops haha. Did you just have a look around and filmed when nobody was around or did you buy a license for each place to fly? I am going to NZ later this year and am trying to figure out how I can get as many cool shots as possible. 🙈

[@victoryinhim9689]

👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

[@tansrb]

hello! which rental did you book your campervan from? planning a trip to nz myself

[@jenniferblakeney1581]

Hello! Love this video - can't wait to watch more. Very well done and edited. May I ask a question about using your drone in NZ? Did you need to get a permit to fly it, or were there areas where you could just pull over and launch it? On my next trip to NZ I'd really love to get some drone footage, but don't want to run afoul of the law! Thanks!

[@ChaseCostner]

Thank you! I didn't need a permit at the time, not sure if anything has changed. There are a couple areas where flight is restricted, though. There's usually a sign, or there are some maps online

[@oibaf1420]

@@ChaseCostner Hi :) Just wanted to tell you that drone permits are required since I think 2015. So you would have had to buy one, depending on the DOC officers you might not get checked during winter ;) I just wanted to correct you a little bit ;)

[@norpriest521]

Hey just wanna ask if all the rent cars in NZ have heater or not? Or just A/C?

[@jenggo1319]

How much did you spend on your trip? So amazing☺️what a beautiful country

[@ChaseCostner]

It’s a stunning landscape. Don’t remember the exact amount, but I think the entire two week trip was under $2000 USD including airfare. The most expensive part was the helicopter tour, but it was so worth it

[@EpicFeedsTime]

where did you get the van from? and did you have any issues camping in terms of people yelling at you to go away haha

[@Andy_M986]

Actually, Stewart Island is the lowest point,the 3rd of the bigger islands.

[@paullong4471]

By the way, did your drone work well in cold surrounding???cheers

[@ChaseCostner]

Battery life was noticeably affected, but worked fine!

[@kelvinkelvin1335]

Nice video, I’m your 721 sub. Wonder if you can share with me which mountain peak you are at 21:20? Thanks

[@laksitha89]

Which month is this?

[@lennonscards5953]

I have a feeling something about your title is affecting the amount of views you’re getting. KZbin SEO is weird. 5 Breathtaking Places To Camp In New Zealand 6 camp sites with gorgeous scenery in New Zealand 6 Places For Van Life In South Island Just my two cents :) amazing video with such creative little segments!

[@MsGfhfgf]

Weird Question to ask here , but how tall are you???
