    Awesome! Shame you couldn’t make it up to the traction engine at big river, It’s seriously impressive and not much further up the track. I did a solo two week trip in the South Island during winter, absolutely loved it! Great video.

    Awesome trip by the looks of it! Def need to add to “the list” of places to go!
    Hey question when your relaxing or cooking dinner in evenings how do you keep warm? Do you use a fire pit or gas heater or something?
    I’m finding that the problem for my partner, once we get in tent it’s all warm.

    • @OverlandNZTV
      @OverlandNZTV  2 года назад +1

      It was pretty awesome - cannot deny that!
      It depended on the night - the 'warmer' ones were all good with just good thermal layers and jackets. In all honesty though, by the time we got into camp, setup, cooked food and dumped footage it was 8pm and we just went to bed - sitting around in -2 and sleet isn't really all that nice

    Awesome video - love the production with your choice of music. It can't have been easy getting all those shots in inclement weather. I've been waiting a year for my Fortuner now, and it still looks like another 4 months 😒 .. Any chance of getting a comparison between the tent/awning setup on your Fortuner vs the Hilux in this video. Having the awning pushed forward with a narrower tent looks like an interesting option (if it fits on the Fortuner).

    • @OverlandNZTV
      @OverlandNZTV  2 года назад

      Cheers! Appreciate it! It wasn't the easiest trip to get footage - non-stop rain and cameras don't mix well.
      Ohhh that's a decent wait! Hopefully it shows up sometime soon.. It's worth it though. This trip was the first big one I've done in it - was an awesome car for it.
      I had my old Hilux setup almost the same as Ash's one - it worked way better, can't deny that. But the Fortuer isn't really long enough. In saying that - between the awning, boot and tent you do get a fair bit of cover with how I have mine setup
