Overnight Trip Brewster Hut - New Zealand Adventures - Chilly Bin Hikes

[@TravelWithTats]

I just gotta say I love your KZbin name "Chilly Bin HIkes". So good.

Thanks for watching. I got the trail name Chilly Bin during my Pacific Crest Trail thru hike in 2018 and it stuck pretty well 😀

Oh goodness! Thankfully you weren't too far from the van and dry clothes. Lovely track, dreadful conditions. Happy tramping!

[@ChillyBinHikes]

It certainly made for an exciting end to the trip! We've been very lucky with weather for the rest of the summer so we can't complain too much 😀

Very nice. Is there a way to heat the hut? The trail looked like the AT with the water running down it. Good Luck, Rick

[@ChillyBinHikes]

The hut had no heating. Wood burners are often installed in huts at or below the bushine, some above the bushline have gas heating or fuel for a wood burner brought in by helicopter, but this one had neither. I expect it is very very cold there in winter!

@@ChillyBinHikes I figured that the huts have an emergency shelter function and expected a heating ability. Maybe a locker "For Emergency Use Only" with a heater and some blankets. I hope that you both had fun. Good Luck, Rick

Bummer about the Glacier view. Hope your knee is just a minor thing! Beautiful country!

@@richardross7219 I for one haven't seen a NZ hut with an "For Emergency Use Only" locker. The Hut itself will keep you out of rain & wind, just a matter of bringing enough warm layers & keeping them dry i guess, it is the nice thing with a smaller space like a tent, biv, show cave thy heat up from body heat a lot easier
