I’ve been on this tramp many times. Only last week I popped up for an overnighter at the Bushline Hut on Mt. Robert. Your video is by far the best filmed I’ve ever seen. Fantastic work.

Dear Chris and Danya, on behalf of the Bird Bancroft Walking Group based in Lismore NSW I can say with absolute certainty that your videos are by far the most informative and entertaining videos we’ve seen and have inspired us to take on a hike in New Zealand. We’re doing the Greenstone Caples Routeburn traverse in two weeks time. There will be six of us slogging it out and we’re all in our 50s. Thanks to you we feel young and healthy. Can I also say, you two are awesome. Thank you. You make videos about the journey and we absolutely love that. Hopefully, one day, our paths will cross. Until then, stay safe and well and love, love, love to you both.

Thank you so much for your kind words Shaun! You've picked and absolutely fantastic track in New Zealand, you won't be disappointed! The Routeburn is still near the top of our favourite hikes in NZ and the valley walking on the Greenstone Caples is beautiful. Unfortunately, we're not in NZ anymore, but perhaps we'll bump into you in NSW one day! We'll have to come over and explore the Blue Mountains one day 😊

Great vid as always. A scenic non-windy alternative is to go via Speargrass Hut, but I see you've covered that in another video. I used to put polly bags next to my pillow incase of mouse attacks in the huts!

I think the hut only had 3 spots left and we don't really like staying in the huts when they are that full. We were hoping we'd be able to get there earlier and hangout by the lake in our new chairs, but didn't look up the wind report and got there later than expected 😅 We hiked this last summer, March 2023

Another great adventure! This is really inspiring for me and my husband. Just wondering what sleeping bag you guys are using? We are having trouble deciding on one suitable for autumn adventures. Thank you!
@ChrisandDanya10 ай бұрын
Apologies for the delayed response! We use Enlightened Equipment quilts, Danya uses an Enigma and I use the Revolution. They can be very pricey coming from the US, especially with the current exchange rates, but they are so well built and are still our favourite pieces of gear after 5 years. I do believe there are cottage quilt companies based in NZ now, so you could potentially save some money there. If you're not interested in using a quilt, I believe the Sea to Summit sleeping bags are well reviewed. Otherwise I recommend looking up local companies that make them
