One day I will get back there thanks for the video makes me dream about the great time when I was there
@@nathanhedges3491 it's a special place for sure man. Glad you liked the video.
Cheers!
WOW that Summit was insane. Never been to Stewart Island-so this walk is super interesting.Travel safe.
Thanks Adam. Haha yeah it was pretty wild at the top, I'll have to go back some day to hopefully summit it in good weather to see the views.
Cheers mate.
So excited to start watching this series. I lived on the Island when I was 5 and there was the old ferry - The Wairua - before the Catamaran they have now crossing the Strait - lucky you got a good trip over😃We also had a big diesel generator to power our house and a cold range for cooking - yes I’m that old 🤣 You walked by the beach I played on across from our house in Horseshoe Bay, it’s all bush there now. Epic video, stunning views - can’t wait for part 2 😃
That's so cool! I bet it was amazing living there, it's such a beautiful and rugged area.
The ferry back over was rougher, spent the trip outside getting soaked, it was great fun!
I'm glad you enjoyed it TJ, it's gets way more epic!
Cheers.
@@BackcountryKiwi I’ve been back a couple of times, one crossing was absolutely horrific, I wasn’t sick but damn scared - I’ll never forget it😏 Have a great week!
@@tleej26 Thank you! You too!
I'm glad I don't get seasick, there were some people on the way back having a hell of a rough time
So cool-- absolutely amazing footage. Great work!! Glad everything went well and you were able to get this on video for all of us. Thank you.
Your a legend Zeb... what a beautiful country we have couldn't see it any better unless you show us. Cheers mate👌
Thank you so much Lisa 😊
Great start to this new adventure. Thw scenery is quite stunning and the tracks in fairly good condition give the idea of being well msintained. Looking forward to the rest of this adventure. Bushyboy Oz
Thanks mate. Yeah the beginning of the track is part of the great walk so it is super nice and wide and graveled.
It gets alot more wild and rougher soon!
Cheers

Awesome video, it refreshing to see a whole circuit video then just the great walk segment. Perfect opportunity fitnesswise coming off the back of TA
Thank you. Yeah, I couldn't pass it up being at the bottom already and like you said, fitness wise it just made sense.
Cheers mate

What a great trip really loved the video. It was so windy up there but it was beautiful thank you for sharing onto the next
Haha mount anglem was a fun time. I will have to go back some day just to see what it's like on a clear day. Cheers!
Just when I thought NZ couldn't get more drop-dead beautiful as evidenced by your other recent adventures, you show us Stewart Island. Paradise on earth, BK! I kept expecting to see a pirate ship anchored off one of those coves you trekked past, lol. Cheers.
Cheers Rick. Haha I know what you mean, it's almost like a whole different world down there.
Thanks for watching mate.
Been looking forward to this bro. Sick!
I hope you enjoy it bro, it was an epic time!
Looking like it's going to be a very cool trip my friend 🤠
Thank you Herb! I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers
Epic
Thank you!
Can't believe how short a period between your epic trip and doing this one Zeb. You must of been in peak physical condition for it.
What a beautiful place. Love the coast there. Reminds me of my areas i would visit. One heavy bag for sure but what can you do when you rely on it entirely. That mountain was just like one here in Scotland , crazy weather.
Enjoyed it. Cheers Zeb
So glad you enjoyed it Chris! Yeah i hadn't planned on doing Stewart island, I made up my mind at the end of TA. I was down the bottom and not gonna get another chance for a while so I just took it. So glad it did, it was amazing.
Awesome and thank you.
Finally...Stewart Island.
Thank you Troy! I hope you enjoy.
Cheers
Primo down there mate, Never been but would love to go, prestine nature.
I'd highly recommend a trip there! It is an amazing place.
Cheers
Nice.
Thank you!
Excellent video. Amazing scenery. Cheers.
Thank you very much Steve!
Cheese and salami wraps - that’s a step up from peanut butter 😂 Quite a different track from the Te Araroa - lots of beach walking and views. Beautiful, unspoiled place by the look of it. Thanks for this new adventure.
Haha I was spoiling myself 😄.
Yeah it is a beautiful area, I really enjoyed how varied it was, switching between the beach and bush was super nice.
Cheers Ally!
Loving this adventure 🤩
I'm surprised that you didn't loose your voice at the summit lol.. Can't wait till next ep 🌟🤘
Thanks Cat!
Haha yeah it was pretty wild up there.
I appreciate the support!
Cheers
Your country is so beautiful, and we envy your adventures. You always travel so minimally; is that on purpose?
Thanks Mary!
Yeah on trips like this I try to go lightweight. Less stress on my body and I can carry more food.
Cheers!
lol at the summit
Haha it was bit wild up there!
Thanks for watching guys.
Cheers
Hi there, I'm really enjoying this first video of the series! I am tramping a similar route from this Boxing Day, how much water did you find you needed to carry?
Thanks for the video 👌
Sorry for the late reply Margie. I hope you had a great trip!
Your 14 day food bag looks like my 7 days one. Hahaha
Haha cheers bro. I had another dry bag full of food aswell
You have to eat to feed the machine ah bro. Nota fan of those de hydrated meals tho, but they serve a weight purpose.
Great walk so far. Question 1. Is the area 'shared use'? (you said there were hunters at one hut) and Question 2. Who manages the huts?
Legend 👏 So jealous. How did you manage battery charge for 11 days?
Thanks Dave!
I had an extra battery for my camera and a few spare for the go pro plus a 20000mah power bank. It was close though haha, my powerbank is a few years old and I don't think its charge is what it used to be but I managed. I would have loved to do a few more timelapses and stuff but they would have drained too much battery.
Cheers!
Hey man, how many litres is that yellow food bag you use?
Hi Sam.
I think it is 30L, I've had it for a couple of years now.
Cheers
Ha Bro What month did you walk the Circuit ?
Hey mate. I did it in April 2022.
Cheers
Better to have too much than not enough.🌯🌮🥪🥓🥖🥐🍞🍅🍎🍏🍓🍒🍇🍍🥭🥝😆👍
Absolutely!
