Peaceful Solo Walk To Taranaki Falls | New Zealand
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😃
Wow, beautiful
It is a very nice walk to do.
Improving day by day in technique….👌
Thank you 😊
The Kereru are juicy and fat.
Fantastic walk. Lovely listening to all the birds & great waterfall
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Great job 👍
Thank you!
Well done Reece. Not a nice day to do it, but still fantastic views
Thank you
Hi
Hello
What tripod do you use?
Thank you for asking. I use an old Manfrotto carbon tripod. It is very light but not very good for video. www.manfrotto.com/nz-en/element-traveller-tripod-small-with-ball-head-carbon-fiber-mkeles5cf-bh/
@@RJsWildWalksThanks
Bit of a tight squeeze through that cave. Cool adventure!
Thank you for commenting. Yes it does make for a cool adventure going through a cave on a hike.
Hey Reece awesome video🙌🫡 Mata 😊
Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
This tree has something of an interesting history. In short (excuse the pun) it is not as tall as DOC say, more like 55m instead of the claimed 66m (recent lidar confirmation). The tallest known natives (Rimu in Pueora and a kahikatea in east Taranaki) top out at about 56m. It appears there are taller natives out there (Whirinaki) yet to be measured accurately.
Thank you for your comment!. There are various speculations on this topic, ether way when it comes in view it is a very impressive tree. From the lookout, I had my drone 60 meters up while flying around the top of it. I am looking forward to doing a lot more exploring around NZ. Here's an article I found on NZ Herald that might interest you. www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/nz-hikes-family-friendly-adventures-at-pirongia-forest-park/DOBAUWD43TFMI53PKZPRSRJ46U/
@@RJsWildWalks Thanks for the reply. Yes, most importantly, a very impressive tree! I belong to a FB group of tree nuts - 'Great trees of NZ'. There's a lot of random stuff, but contributors to look out for are Kevin and Phil Barker, Brad Cadwallader and Matt Smillie who is examining the Lidar data. Searching for big native trees probably seems pointless to most people, but it is a good excuse to get out there and find that there are, even now, yet to be discovered giants.
Tallest native in NZ BUT... It has been known for some time that the tallest tree in New Zealand is to be found in Orokonui Eco-sanctuary. A stand of Eucalyptus regnans, planted in 1870 in the grounds of what became the Orokonui Home for Inebriates in 1902, started self seeding after fires in 1910, resulting a dense forest of competing trees in the lower reaches of the valley of the Orokonui Creek. The tallest tree measured in 1982 was included in Burstall’s Great Trees of New Zealand, as number 99, the Frank Pepers Tree, named after the New Zealand Forest Service officer who had identified and measured the tree at 69.1 m at that time. That tree was tape-dropped in late 2006 at 77.4 m (See OR/0796). In 2011, a climbing expedition including noted canopy scientists Steve Sillet and Bob Van Pelt found the Frank Pepers Tree to be reduced to 74 m, a victim of a damaged top. However a nearby tree was tape-dropped at 80.2 m tall. A re-measurement by the same group in 2013 determined the height of the new tallest tree to be 81.26 m - at the time the second tallest known planted tree after a 81.5 m blue gum near Magoebaskloof, South Africa. Due to the tree’s height and location, the true top is only visible from the track about 100 m away, with the base well obscured. This makes laser measurement quite challenging. The tree was subsequently climbed and tape dropped in November 2018 with the height being measured at 82.25 metres.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I will definitely have to go there next time I am in the South Island.
As a Tasmanian, home of both those trees. Enjoy our giants
Great insight thanks John.
That was awesome Reece.. A great walk
Thank you. A great walk, but I wouldn't want to do during or after a lot of rain.

Kaniwhaniwha.. Nice to see you on Pirongia….
An awesome forest I will have to go back to do some of the other hikes in and around Pirongia.
Great one. If I back to New Zealand again, I wish to join you.
Yes. Definitely there are a lot of awesome hikes here in New Zealand. Let me know when you come back.
Great work. Much appreciated 🫡👍💪 It will be more interesting and infotainment if you can add some information about the ride such as s its location, how to go there, what kind of gears should be carried with, a bit description about wildlife and nature, your feelings and thoughts, etc.
Thank you for your comment. I have put a link in the video description for DOC's website (Department of Conservation) that contains all the advice and information for this hike. I have completed this walk many times as Ruapehu is one of my favourite locations in NZ but this was by far the hardest time because it was the first time filming this hike. I believe I walked over 25km in total whilst filming on this day.
Such beautiful scenery!
Thank you, yes it is a beautiful place to be.
Really nice…
Thank you
so sick bro! Im in the end part🙏🔥
Thank you. Awesome effort making it to the top.
Awsome idea!!
Thank you.
Great achievement Reece & all those stairs. Well done 👏
Thank you. It was a beautiful hike to the top, it made it worth it.
The Mountain of Love. A tough double-climb training day!!! Summited it via the Domain Trail at midnight for NYE this 23/24. Absolutely the worst weather I have ever seen up there! Actual waterfalls coming down the stairs at the top.
Thanks for your comment, yes that is a very tough training day. I would think it would be dangerous enough just climbing it at night even without the bad weather. Nice work!
@@RJsWildWalks we were planning on a 3rd summit but it was too dangerous in the storm!
Summiting twice alone is over an 1800 meter elevation gain. Summiting Mt Te Aroha often would make you very fit.
@@RJsWildWalks It's a training staple for trail runners. Have enjoyed watching your videos nicely put together. Have you considered a small drone?
Thank you very much. I do have a small drone, sadly it is illegal to fly drones on all DOC/National park land in New Zealand. Some councils allow them to be flown on certain parks or beaches though. I also have a 360 camera with a 3 meter pole that I normally take with me when drones are not aloud.
Solo? Who was carrying the camera at 6:11 ?
Thank you for your comment. For this hike I had a friend that wanted to come along, he assisted by filming three shots and passing my camera up during some of the steep sections. The rest was me setting up the camera on a tripod. However, my up coming hikes over the next few weeks, including a challenging 17.6km hike (which likely extended to around 25km due to backtracking and exploration), were all solely filmed by me, out on my own.
Well done , Reece
Thank you for watching.
Nice shoots man
Thank you for your support and thank you for watching.
Such a great place to explore. Enjoyed watching this solo adventure my friend!
Absolutely, it's a fantastic place to explore! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for watching.
So pretty ❤
I think so too, Thank you.
Wow! Incredible views at the top!
Yes, it's definitely worth the effort to walk to the top for these views! Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful new wild walk RJ! Incredible atmosphere and views up there
Yes, I completely agree, it's a beautiful walk. Once you reach the top, your hard work is rewarded with stunning 360 - degree views. Thank you so much for watching!
Amazing views, must’ve been pretty tiring, looking forward to more uploads.
Thank you. Worth the effort, more uploads coming weekly.
Awesome scenery! Makes me want to go one more hikes!
Thank you. Yes it is a very nice hike.
Incredibly wonderful trail and beautiful shots of it RJ
