Taking our 60 year old Land rover overlanding in New Zealand - Adventure Vlog 1

[@sugarcane9425]

Love the whole movie. Nicely done and so breath taking to see the lands over the land.

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers! Thanks for watching

[@unpluggedkiwi1063]

Very well done. Brought back a lot of memories. Have owned a IIA 109inch Safari Wagon, a IIA 88inch hardtop, a III 88inch Safari and a 2 door Range Rover, as well as a few unworthy Japanese things. But it is the Landies that I miss the most.

[@foldinthemap]

Man, you've had some iconic rigs. Haha a few unworthy Japanese things, well put.

[@brenttasker4046]

Dude, this is a beautiful film. At first I was a bit worried about accuracy of the Landy description of a 60 year old S2 when it looked like a late 2A but the individual wiper motors suggest that the wing headlights are a modification. Great cinematography!

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers! Yes she’s a storied truck, started life as an Air Force wagon and has even had a holden engine… swapped back to the original at some stage. I have the original radiator panel so it can be converted back to the right front… one day.

[@MartopoSons]

It always amazes me to see old series land rover on a scenic drive like this...awesome story, journey, and nature all in one video..❤

[@foldinthemap]

Thanks so much!

[@alansheach3528]

Great filming and great to see a lovely Series Land Rover in such beautiful scenery. New Zealand looks stunning!

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers! Yes, doing what it does best in back country. We are very lucky to live here.

[@hollyschick1203]

So tastefully done, absolutely love the color grading. Honestly, the work you guys do is so dreamy and inspiring. I hope you find the time to make more of these 🤞

[@foldinthemap]

Thanks Holly! We very much appreciate the encouragement :) We're definitely going to try our best.

[@chadwickestey]

Color grade is spot on!

[@gonative3956]

Beautifully filmed guys

[@laurentnicolas1550]

Magnifique ! From France !

[@foldinthemap]

Thank you from New Zealand!

[@orangegreenandred]

What a dreamy voiceover

[@foldinthemap]

Only a film buff would leave a nice comment like that :P

[@calsurflance5598]

This was fun. Series Land Rovers are scarce here in the US, and especially here in California. When ever I see one , I usually bend my neck trying to get a better look. Thanks for the adventure. 👌

[@foldinthemap]

You are welcome! They are hard to tear your eyes off, I always say if you don't hurt your neck looking back at your rig as you walk away, you need a different rig 😂

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

Very nice filming, incredible scenery, good choice of music, and a lovely Landy. Weird combination of vehicles, but cleverly edited most of them out, wohoooo. The part with the Siia and Disco the best 😊.. Next time, introduce your lovely partner as well, as it will increase the "likes" and comments as well... She is as soft on the eye as the Landy.... Looking forward to more, thank you. Regards, from Hermanus, the Land Rover Capitol of South Africa.... 🇿🇦

[@Big_Pine_Man]

You got me at "expendable gear boxes" Ha! Nice work! Luv ur Landey!

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers! Haha yea, the gear box in the Landy is not a disposable type like the Nissans have 😂

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

Amazing land scape!

[@foldinthemap]

Isn’t it just!

[@aidanring7364]

Wow awesome footage, got the same landy in the shed 109 same colour as well, lovely trip and footage, bet all that weight on top makes her roll a bit mine did with roof rack,.more please Aidan in Ireland 🇮🇪,

[@foldinthemap]

Mate, makes it roll like you would't believe haha. All part of the fun though eh, easy does it. Vlog 2 is inbound soon, hit the bell to be notified.

[@03zorro]

Nice Video thank you . Greetz from Europ 😊

[@foldinthemap]

Thank you! Thanks for watching

[@gordyduff_]

Great video guys! The Landrover looking so good in front of the lens as any Series 2 Landrover would.

[@foldinthemap]

Thanks so much man! Amen to that!

[@christianchilee]

Beautifully done.

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers legend!

[@franbaburiic8154]

I like your Landy, I have two. one is long and the other is short. i like in your video at the beginning you have that morning voice haha

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers! Nice, would love a short wheelbase. Haha yea but croaky eh!

[@mattyem]

Awesome, I remember walking past your camp as you guys were packing up. I was walking out of the harper valley while on the Te Araroa trail! great vlog

[@foldinthemap]

Awesome! That’s an epic effort man and crazy you found us on here. Legend!

[@billyoneil3441]

Awesome set up dude. I have a series 2a I restoring now with a very similar spec. Love to join on a trip once it's done, they'd look fantastic together

[@foldinthemap]

Sounds awesome! I’d love to do a full restoration on mine but the patina works for off-road abuse haha

[@mahantabaraki5104]

Very very beautiful 😢😢😊😊❤❤

[@foldinthemap]

Thank you!

[@oliverashworth3429]

[@Defender-yo3qp]

Love this LR Series 2 Cargo style, movie, and the adventure. I have the same type of Landy and experienced in some short trip. Your video is inspiring us (my Landy & myself). Thank you.

[@foldinthemap]

Thanks so much for this lovely comment! Much appreciated and see ya out there!

[@foldinthemap]

[@foldinthemap]

Thank’s so much for the follow and the support!

[@RumbleOverland]

Oh wow! Beautifully shot and edited. Love the old rig, so much character!

[@foldinthemap]

Thanks so much! She's a beautiful old girl that belongs out on the trail! Definitely not comfortable but thats all part of the charm.

[@KendallandGlenn]

Okay now we're fully convinced we need to get over to NZ...such an epic video! Can't wait for more :)

[@foldinthemap]

Come over for a mission! Would be psyched to show you guys around our neck of the woods. Cheers for the encouragement legends!

[@KendallandGlenn]

@@foldinthemap Honestly this vid is so insanely beautifully shot man! And yes, we certainly will! haha. Keep your eyes peeled for an old series to buy for us hahah

[@foldinthemap]

@@KendallandGlenn Thanks so much! Haha, that won't be a problem for me to keep an eye out. The addiction is real!

[@georgemoore2928]

Beautiful video and Landy. Would like a bit more time with the sound of the engines, rattles etc. What engine have you got in the 109? I've got the 2.25 petrol in mine. Thanks. Subbed.

[@foldinthemap]

Yea 2.25 petrol, good old donkey engine. Couldn't agree more haha, the next video will have more rattles, wine of the gearbox etc. Still learning how to capture everything on the go to a high enough quality. Cheers for subscribing!

[@gijsber6852]

Subscribed! Can you guys do a video on your gear and video tips? This video looks incredible. I'm looking for a decent setup for my trip this summer

[@foldinthemap]

Yes, we are planning to share this after a few more vlogs. At the moment I'm using a Mavic Air 2s Drone, a Gopro 11 and Sony a7siii. You may have also noticed the iphone made an appearance but that was a bit lazy of me!

[@bushydoctor66]

Thank you for making and sharing this great video of your amazing adventure. Good to see the series in its natural environment.

[@foldinthemap]

Thank you for watching it! Absolutely in love with how the landy fits into the wilderness and trucks on through it with ease.

[@Utopiatwentytwo]

What a stunning adventure 🙌 very much enjoyed the start 😂

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers! haha they keep you guessing eh

[@1tent1world]

Cool👍

[@francoisehollender_franeuro]

Hi, very beautiful video and wonderful adventure. For us from far away Europe, where is that nice spot you drove to?

[@foldinthemap]

Thank you! So we camped at Basin creek the first night which is most of the way up the Avoca valley, the second night we camped at the junction between the Harper and Avoca valleys, here in Canterbury New Zealand :)

[@francoisehollender_franeuro]

@@foldinthemap beautiful place!! Take care

[@UnfilteredOffRoad]

Nice vlog bro

[@foldinthemap]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@GoingOverland]

Hey mate, great video. As a fellow youtuber, I know how much work goes into making each video, definitely keep it up because you are doing a great job, and sooner or later, they'll pick up viewers

[@foldinthemap]

Thanks mate! Yea its always a slow start with these things but the encouragement means all the more!

[@jordandragt]

Love your work dude! Nailed the edit. Keen as to get over there one day with ya

[@foldinthemap]

Cheers man! Always welcome mate, plenty of room over here!

[@rogrwileman358]

If you are having trouble starting the land rover try putting electronic engion on .

[@rogrwileman358]

Sorry I spelt ignition wrong

[@foldinthemap]

She does have electronic vs points. Its the carburettor that's been installed that makes cold starts... interesting. But its dual throat and goes harder than the zenith so I'm gunna live with it. It always starts eventurally haha. Cheers for the suggestion.

[@misstickletheivories]

Be right back...gonna move to NZ so I can do stuff like this every weekend

[@foldinthemap]

We are pretty damn lucky thats for sure!

[@smiles_per_hr6408]

Nice work. Your series is a beautifully photographic rig, especially in that colour. 👌 I think you will find 5th time is a charm when you try to start it There’s a reason I use the same start shot in all my videos. Can’t have the Landrover and the camera both with flat batteries 🤣

[@foldinthemap]

hahahaha, the struggle is real. I need to get me one of those hand cranks and just take out the middle man! Cheers for the kind words!

[@smiles_per_hr6408]

@@foldinthemap had one of those for my Morris Minor years ago. Hilarious. Wouldn’t want to try hand crank the V8 in my Landrover though.

[@foldinthemap]

@@smiles_per_hr6408 No that would be a big job, a big kick if you didn't get clear quick enough too. Not ideal first thing in the morning 😂

[@alwynvanwyk1851]

​ My series ii 1960 2,25 is much tougher to hand crank than my 101 FCV8.. Best way to start them, especially in a crowded parking lot... You swing the starter once, twice, getting all the attention from the japcrap owners, get out very casually, ignoring all the onlookers, pushing your hand crank through the little hole in the bumper, small turn till it's locked, and one easy fluent pull and they purrrrr like little kittens..... My favourite party trick. Love my Landies...🇿🇦

[@willyd-adv]

Is there tracks in the hills/mountains you can drive in or is it all flat river beds

[@foldinthemap]

Yes there are tracks up the mountains in some area's however a lot of teh 4x4 access in New Zealand sticks to the valleys and to get onto the tops you must walk.

[@Dyzio_Adventure]

Hi. In Nev Zeeland it is possible to camping every place? I want to visit Nev Zeland and rent 4x4 with roof top tent. Gretings from Poland.

[@foldinthemap]

Hey mate, not everywhere but their are lots of places you can especially with an off-road vehicle. If you rent a defender with a roof tent the company will give you a guide to spots you can park up with epic views! Hope that helps! Cheers for watching 🙏🏼

[@Dyzio_Adventure]

@@foldinthemap Yes. Thank you so much. Which month is the best for overlanding in Nev Zeland?

[@andrew_ep_curtis]

Love the video and all that. But are you putting that croaky voice on just for the voice over? Haha.

[@foldinthemap]

That's a very long winded way of saying you hate the sound of my voice, I have to say though mate, on that we can agree, I also hate the sound of my voice, but unfortunately that's the one I've got.

[@equestrianalways6132]

Some people do u tube for years before they can create quality content like this

[@foldinthemap]

Thank you! This encouragement means the world!

[@davidbell1676]

Theres only 2 places in all the south island for pies... SANGAS in cromwell or fat bastards in Invercargill....and just maybe the fairlie bakery. But i got a cold pie last time i was there. Indian bloke running the show i seen.

[@foldinthemap]

Have heard good things about SANGAS yep. Big fan of fairlie until they switched from butter to … pretend butter. Not ideal.

[@frederick1858]

Voice got a bit annoying due to lack of tonality but it was really well made

[@foldinthemap]

I’ll make sure to fire the voice over guy

[@casalambretta]

Really really enjoyed your film. Very nicely shot. Reminds me very much of a motorcycle film made more than 10 years ago (jeepers I'm getting old) featuring Blitz Motorcycle guys. Your vibe in this film and the Blitz motorcycle one are similar in many ways but the Blitz one is technically an advert for Edwin Jeans. kzbin.info/www/bejne/an6XY3-ApbqWrq8si=azvIVs59-8WWj5H4 ..... Nice work!

[@foldinthemap]

Very cool blitz Motorcycle film! Love the vintage feel and the voice over. Appreciate the kind words and high praise from you 🙏🏼

[@lederppz6202]

The color filter is what’s is hurting your channel; unfortunately. 😢 looks like an instagram filter .I liked and subscribed to support you through your self discovery.

[@foldinthemap]

Oh no! I think possibly you meant to hit the dislike button.

[@1218omaroo]

Love the content, but you sound so utterly bored delivering it... 😏

[@foldinthemap]

Might be the kiwi accent… monotone at best. Keep watching as I get more and more excited… or perhaps loose the will to live due to periodic maintenance.
