I was on call till the Sunday of New years, so snuck up to macetown for the first time and what a place!!

[@lostsheepadventures]

Wicked spot ain't it. She's a bit rough and rocky these days haha

[@outbackdreamer6445]

Very underrated channel. Keep up the great work.

[@lostsheepadventures]

Thanks you for the comment! Really appreciate motivations like this.

[@jamiemcskimming1070]

Hell of a place if your into diving and hunting love my back yard

[@tomh894]

This is wild ive come across your channel... because I have a Gen 3 Surf... but also just discovered you had a TJ Wrangler like me lol! Love the video man great shots, making me keen to kit mine out - I have a question though - I spotted your pillar pod! where did you get it!?

[@lostsheepadventures]

Mean man!! I did love the TJ but the Surf is a sucha better vehicle for long trips and carrying gear. I custom made it myself. Its the original Pillar plastic with an Aliexpress universal 2 pod that I heat gun, molded and screwed to the original pillar plastic. A days worth of work but came out decent enough

[@danielwright1981]

This has to be your best video yet. Nice work. Love the drone shots

[@lostsheepadventures]

Legend man! Cheers for the comment

[@leopardsgowild]

Dude, KZbin just recommended this channel to me, Really enjoyed your adventure in the Catlins. We do similar Kiwi outdoor adventures but different. Love the places you can get to in a 4wd aye. Great set up for 2.

[@lostsheepadventures]

Glad you hung around after the recommendation haha yeah once you got 4wd and a sleeping bag, the opportunities are endless in the South Island

[@johannesleroux7210]

Mate i going down to catlins in a week or two and thanks to your video i will definitely be staying at purakaunui and do the cannibal bay drive. Amazing.

[@tyronecull8813]

Nice wee spot might have to take my surf down there someday soon done skippers during new years and broke my rig so will have to fix that 1st tho 🤣 hope ta see ya on a track down this way one day

[@lostsheepadventures]

Ahh tough luck mate. Unfortunately it's all part of the fun right haha

[@kingmarz3635]

Have always wondered what the fuss was down there at the Catlins and I guess it’s the beaches. I prefer the rivers did Skippers and Branches over Christmas and went right up top of the Hopkins in me big red Pajero on New Year’s Day. Have just bought a mini jet boat so will be boating the South Island rivers now Cheers for video

[@haydenhalligan6723]

hey mate! where did you get your little table with the sink and stuff in it?

[@frasercameron4398]

I too was wondering the same thing it looks like quite the handy wee bench\sink or would the normal table and large container to wash dishes in that I currently use be just as good?

[@eskanderx1027]

NZ is definitely the best place to witness the end of times...

[@PatrickBellWebDev]

Awesome place. I need to get my surf up that way. What do you think of Project Hail Mary? I'm about halfway through and loving it!

[@lostsheepadventures]

I never read books. This was probably the first book since high school and I absolutely bloody loved it!! Could not put It down and highly recommend it to anyone. Just a brilliant story that capture my imagination and backing up the story with real physical problem solving haha

[@Share_The_Adventure]

Definitely adding that to the list. Wife is a huge Narnia fan. I’m also curious what you thought of Hail Mary. Picked it up to read on our Christmas adventure and couldn’t put it down. But then I loved Martian as well. Also. Come up north!! 😬

[@lostsheepadventures]

Definitely take her there then, recommend maybe rewatching or finding the scene prior. I tried to hunt it down online but struggled. I never really read. So this was the first book in YEARS I attempted. Smashed it out in like a week or something because i just couldn't put it down. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys problem solving, sci fi, physics and space travel haha just a seriously wicked and well written story

[@explorewithmarcus]

Thank you for the video. Some great beaches to break away too in the future. Otago and Southland does have some nice beaches. But nothing compared too Northland....driving for a 109km on one beach...can't beat it! Also those dunes in the North is just amazing. Great little hidden spot in the end....found it! :)

[@lostsheepadventures]

I seriously loved the dunes up north. Will be making the trip back in no time I'm sure. In the meantime though, catlins offers some great stuff to explore. Can't beat the sand dunes of northland though haha

[@dylbags8169]

Hey mate. What suspension are you running in the rear of that thing? My rear always sags a bit with the tent on and the boot loaded but yours looks alright?

[@lostsheepadventures]

Mines actually sagging a niticable amount when i look at it every day. At the moment it has a 2" iron man lift in the rear. Over the next few months i will swap them out for a set of OME 891/2 springs from Union Car Spares. They set to carry 300kg and will give the rear around a 3" lift ae. That with some 80s stock height shocks from what i hear work great.

[@tyronecull8813]

I run 80 series springs in my kzn130 sits perfectly when fully loaded few years old and no sag at all. Not sure if a 3rd gen surf can run them but id look down that alley dylbags

[@callumw-s8693]

Awesome video bro!

[@stuartwinslade9790]

What beach did u get rained off?

[@sharkysstreams5495]

I would love to do this trip..do you have an itinerary you could or access to maps etc how would i go about this

[@lostsheepadventures]

Bit of knowledge used from 4x4explorer.co.nz and topomaps. Best just to grab the beach names I mentioned in the video and tie your own weekend/holiday together. Cheers!

[@Mojojosie86]

Looked like that Sheep on the road was a bit.. Lost... maybe it was having an Adventure?

[@edknight5888]

Hey bro, can I ask why you removed the rear bumper? I've been thinking about doing it on my KZN185 but not sure why, I know it looks cool at least, is it for clearance?

[@RoofKoreanInTheWild]

It just makes them look big

[@lostsheepadventures]

During a trip up the Hopkins I knocked it on a rock step. Bent it upwards and it dinted the rear tailgate and blocked it from opening. Had to bash it back outta the way with a sledge. So removed to stop that from happening again with plans to put a rear bar and Tyre carrier on

[@gwilymrees8597]

Didn’t take any searchlight brews?

[@lostsheepadventures]

Haha glad someone noticed! They have had shorter hours recently so wasn't able to pick some up the night before.. secondly my pre-planning can be a bit lack luster sometimes hahaha

[@gwilymrees8597]

Thanks to your vids I got a couple doz shipped sent. Pilsner and sone hazy. Love it

[@philipkennett3181]

Broke an Axle in skippers lol did you try the bullendale track

[@lostsheepadventures]

Na, well aware that without a winch it's a gamble down there. Did the axle on the Deep creek climb. Videos on my isntagram @lostsheepadventures

[@philipkennett3181]

@@lostsheepadventures oh nice . Me and the boys have been planning to go down and do the bullendale trip haven't been there since I was a kid In the back of the fj60

[@jeremiahstreet7141]

What was the last beach you were going to stay at but the rain came in?
