THE HARDEST DAYS // Days 3-4 of Rees-Dart track, New Zealand

[@rebeccaedwards8262]

Just as beautiful to watch the second time.

[@GreencampRhodie]

Stunning. Dreamland.

[@tictachikes6156]

You can sing! I don’t understand why everyone says they can’t. If you feel like signing please sing on the videos again. Lovely moment of joy to share with us. Thank you :)

[@MaiuLunekund]

You are very correct, I shouldn't say "I can't sing" as it's the same as people saying "I can't draw" witch drives me crazy! Everyone can draw and yes, everyone can sing as well :)

[@spijkerpoes]

I'm enjoying your fab trip report.. good filming editing and commenting.. And yesh! There are many glaciers in the alps! Although perhaps busier with walkers, the alps may be just as gorgeous as NS. And there the wildlife bonus of deer boar fox and goat.. and not so crazy far.. Cheers! Awesome trip. Off to the next

[@MMcL-qe1zj]

Birds on your boots! What a lovely forest greeting! Enjoyed your video very much!

[@English.Andy1]

Good morning what a delight to wake up too!

[@shotbychristo]

Thanks for taking us with you on this tramp. The little fantail birds come to you because you disturb insects they then quickly catch.

[@cathycomber508]

Wow… your videos are epic! Looking more forward than I expected to this tramp thanks to your video :) Cathy

[@gardosalazar9127]

Nature is wonderful. love you videos.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

[@kevinbungles]

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Maiu, thank you for sharing another fine video of your epic adventure in New Zealand. It's good to see that you take some time to paint while you are on the trail. I really enjoy your informative and entertaining videos. The very best to you and your Mom. 🤗

[@tommyason8764]

Two tuff ladies Good work.

[@andytolley8494]

We had to wait for this series of videos, worth it? Most definitely!! Awesome landscape and flora, especially as you are such a moss lover. Stay happy.

[@Boodieman72]

Its so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye.

[@bwillij]

im happy you liked the track,, its been a few years since ive done it, but it is one of my favorites, for many reasons,, looking forward to watching your next episode

[@rickkaylor8554]

I think it is awesome that you and your mom hike together. She looks too young to be your mother!

[@MaiuLunekund]

She was very young when she got me, so that's why :)

[@wanttogoplaces]

terekest, just tegin 250 miili Washingtoni osariigis. Tean jah kuidas tunned, kui naed neid hutte, hea tunne. Thank you for your videos. Beautiful

[@ffstopP]

[@christiaansomers9261]

Hoi Maiu and mother it's so great to see you walking to gether.. So many km's.. 2 very strong lady's 💪💪👍👍 I am little bit jealous 😀 Thx again for sharing this beautiful trip 😃😃😃

[@pedja303]

Another amazing hike, great pace as you both enjoy the everyday miracles unraveled in New Zealand. Thank you for sharing.

[@rthoreson5018]

I love your channel and learning about Estonia.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

Good Morning Maiu ,, Great time on trail at a beautiful location...memories with Mom are priceless....

[@travishayes8125]

So awesome! Thanks for the videos Maui, they always put me in a good mood.

[@stevebrown1461]

Great episode

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

It seems you both have suffered a great many sand fly bites. Is there nothing you can put on to repel them? Some of the countryside that you have shown us reminds me of places in my own state where I have hiked and camped. I'm glad you and your mom had the opportunity to experience New Zealand. It is on my bucket list to visit my sister in Auckland some day. All the best to you and your mom. Stay safe out there.

[@MaiuLunekund]

We had a repellant with us but we were too lazy to put it on all the time 😅

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Well, I guess someone has to feed them. I have pretty much resinged from donating blood to bugs, myself - not much of a future in it. Happy Trails!

[@jgbsweeper7325]

Thanks for the beautiful video!

[@williamking2249]

Awesome video Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍

[@raymondwaynenash8489]

[@jasonthompson5256]

Excellent video matey! I can't wait to do that one next trip to NZ! 😱👌

[@thomasmusso1147]

Wow .. that was really something .. thank you 👍😊. Am looking forward to the next stage of your Adventure .. 😊.

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

The land is beautiful!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings 🙏

[@Woodenarrows]

re: your Apricot snack bar. I got some OSM bread in Jackson Wyoming while visiting National Parks last year. If I remember correctly, OSM stands for Oat, Sunflower and Millet seed. The bread was great too...

[@MaiuLunekund]

I think they promote the OSM as One Square Meals.

[@martinread2637]

you make me smile.

[@ColonelBummleigh]

This is great HIE, Very enjoyable to see you out in new adventures in new places :^)

[@ecowomble1781]

Awesome. Great video.

[@robdegraaf2785]

Thank you for sharing,good hiking,be safe ;-)

[@Forestcityflygirl]

Really enjoyed watching your trek

[@chazstewart4865]

Excellent video, some parts remind me of where I live in the west Highlands of Scotland, Well done to you both.

[@kevinmoppett4760]

Oh Maiu you both worked so hard on this trail but it looks like it was worth the effort. (Loved the robin moment)😁

[@michaelgarrood3030]

Yes, many glaciers in the Alps. I was at the top of the longest of all, the Aletsch, yesterday. But they are shrinking too ((

[@MaiuLunekund]

Thank you for answering my question! :D But yes, sad to see the glaciers shrinking, NZ glaciers had the same problem :(

[@redsorgum]

You do a great job taking your video’s, and editing. 🏔🌳🌲🍃 There is so much beauty, you can get sensory overload. 🙂 Hi mom!👋🏻

[@MaiuLunekund]

Thank you!

[@willian.direction6740]

Great video thanks

[@camelberrypieology4473]

The Etsy link in the corner of video didn't work for me (the 'i'). However the regular link to Etsy in the video description box near the bottom does work. Or search for hiker in estonia on the etsy homepage if you have the same problem.

[@MaiuLunekund]

Thank you for the feedback! I fixed the link in the card :)

[@jennifercapati3944]

Hello! I love your videos! They have been amazingly helpful and inspiring. I’ve been following your channel for two years now and I have enjoyed watching your journey ☺️ And by the way where did you get your button down hiking shirt??

[@GizmosBushEscapes]

looking forward to the next one. those sand flies are annoying.get that bug spray happening 🐛🖐😎

[@MaiuLunekund]

Oh, we used a pretty strong bug spray, but these little devils are persistent!

[@GizmosBushEscapes]

@@MaiuLunekund hope you weren't stung too badly. I hate the little buggers.

[@JosephMullin]

Hi Maiu's mom. Your looking well!

[@trakyboy5128]

Mrs. Estonia 🤗 How many calories in that snack bar ?? As u know hiking requires calories to fuel the body. Would you recommend that bar??

[@eturnerx]

Two of those bars are about 670 calories (one square meal). I often have a single bar for lunch, particularly if I've been snacking.

[@RCA-87]

What was that song playing

[@SummerJune25]

I still have a scar on my toe from the sandfly that bit me in Punakaiki. People told me sandyflies are the best hidden secret NZ has ;)

[@paulsmith6184]

Sandflies are not really a secret. Ask any local and they will tell you about them and recommend a repellent. I went on a boat cruise in Doubtful Sound. Here you have to access the Sound via Lake Manapouri's West Arm (where the power station is). The sandflies here are on steroids. Every tour operator's brochure says in large print "you MUST bring insect repellent". Being a local, I had some but I was the only person onboard who did.

[@cindyneely6087]

she is so pretty

[@eturnerx]

Thanks for the video! I was in Queenstown at the start of Autumn and it was stunning. I see you have discovered the OSM bars! One square (two bars) is nearly 700 calories! Though I normally only eat one for lunch - preferring a big breakfast and dinner.

[@Aqu181]

you can feed them Birds or may be you did not no that 👍🌹☀🌞⛺

[@sleeve51]

Love these videos. I wonder if the girls need porters?

[@JimRodgers]

Such an adventure! I'm really enjoying your New Zealand experience. You guys should visit the U.S. soon and do a hiking trip in the Pacific Northwest - you'll be blown away by the amazing landscapes up here.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

Jim Rodgers . One of beauties of NZ is the fact we only have one really poisonous animal and that’s a relation of the Australian Red back spider called the Katipo spider. No snakes, no bears, no crocs. NO TICKS .No nothing else. Occasional great white shark but if anyone wants to swim in their living room then?? 😁

[@huntarama9375]

What did happen to that sand fly? Its all protein I guess. I just looked at the temperature in lord of the rings land its about -6

[@MaiuLunekund]

The destiny of that sand fly will remain a mystery to me

[@liina3326]

Mitu km te kõndisite selle 4 päevaga? Ja palju te umbes ühes päevas kõndisite? :) Su videosid on endiselt nii tore ja huvitav vaadata. :)
