I’ve missed a few episodes but am binge watching them now! We are planning to go in 2024 and your videos give me so many ideas. I know you’ve done one before but would love an updated finances video, if possible? Costs of living on the road etc. enjoy, e te whānau!
Yea we missed your comments 😆 I'm glad we can offer some 💡 ideas 💡... we should do a look at costs again. Was more than we were expecting we have however been traveling quite quickly, but also winter is coming.
I owed land and lived there at the top a the hill but sold it 15 yrs ago, Can be in out the gate fog for days on end but when it cleared was heaven on earth for views and the fog was instantly forgotten.. 😊 .
Yea it's pretty special... But the North Island also has some treasures, especially up the top of the Coromandel... The Coromandel is really a great spot to explore.
@@leopardsgowild ive traveled the north island coromandel is beautiful to the far north was one of my favourit maitai bay and spirit bay rotorua 4 adventure east coast was beautiful to glad i went there before the floods
Another great piece of coast. So now you can add penguins to seals. I've been seeing both here in Tauranga Harbour which is nice. Hope you were tucked away somewhere sheltered for that bit of nasty weather the other day.
yea it was stunning through here... The next spot was our favourite, that will be out tomorrow.... Talk about pumping the videos out at the moment... I need to catch up... Hope you are enjoying some sunshine Owen...
@@owenpotter2459 The internet has actually been pretty good Owen, just the last video was the only spot we haven't had internet... It's more I've been out playing to much, diving, swimming and having fun... These videos take a good 10 - 12 hours to make so while the suns been out the computers been away...
I love the Drone, we went to a place called Ship wreck grave yard, looks so cool from above. Yea seen a few dead animals. I guess no one is there to bury these dead seals and Penguins aye... Poor creatures.
2 episodes in 1 week???!! lol every camp spot u find is the most scenic" most scenic campsite in new zealand" is like saying the wettest water in the ocean lol im sure not all r great but almost every video i have to rewind at least 2 parts to see the views again!!! epic toby rock crawl hes an animal,, here in michigan its cold enough for pinguins but the thought of seeing one is like thinking abt seeing an elephant!! and some surf clips to end it !!!!!! lets go!!!!!! Mike Leopard Surf Vlogs??? 2nd channel coming our way!?!? great as always dude!! talk to yah in the next 1!!
Cheers bro... Yea I've been needing to pump out some videos we have been moving to fast I reckon I'm about 6 videos behind real time... Summer is def over down here in NZ now, so our travel might slow down a little bit as there aren't as many summery spots to hit now summers over... Penguins are pretty rare to see in NZ, more likey you will see a dead one on the beach, which we saw both living ones and a dead one, which is always sad, but I guess a part of life when your a see creature and rest on the shore...
@@leopardsgowild ya sad but part of life for sure... Man I bet seasons change quick down there.. I bet we'll be seeing some of those hot pool vlogs soon eh bro!!! Cheers!!
Oh I don't know man... maybe some public heated pools lol... Thermal pools down here are a rip off, to many tourists $$$ to be taken so your looking at around $100 for the family for proper hot pools... We'll keep our money,,,
@@Scottygirlnz Yea no connectivity there... Our next video Papatowai is a great spot to base yourself out of... It even has an onsite, gas station shop and fast food...
@@leopardsgowild Yay!! Thanks for that. I figured you misunderstood. We get back south tomorrow and are headed straight down to that area. I'm enjoying your videos too, thanks for taking the time to make them.
Heaps of surfers out, obviously lots of regulars who drove on the beach to a couple of camp spots only 4x4 could get to. Sand flies weren't an issue at all.
Great coverage. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing. Travel safe 😊😊
Yip some stunning spots for sure... Dead end roads often have something worth seeing aye... Thanks for watching and commenting.

We've heard stories of the never ending Fog, lots of places down South get fogged in for weeks some times aye. beautiful part of the country.
I cant wait to visit the south island would be awsome

@@leopardsgowild yes, you are pumping them out. I guess you're in better internet coverage now. It must have been sparse for a while.

@@leopardsgowild as it should be. Rachel from Cruising Kiwis told me there's nothing wrong with being in the moment and enjoying it.
We loved our motorhome trip around the Catlins. This was one of our favourite places, so relaxing and fun surf.
it's such a beautiful place, those cliffs and the wild life are amazing.
I will never tire of the drone shots. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for coming mate. Still pretty stoked to have the man from Ohio following us. Hope you are getting some nicer days as spring ramps up.
*oh no, that poor penguin. Some brilliant drone shots*

Whoa oh oh oh...
Did you stay here on your trip?
@@leopardsgowild No... we stayed at Papatowai DOC and Curio Bay.

Great spot, one we missed on our brief trip through. Those dusty back roads definitely provide some great spots to chill out
Yep if it's got gravel it's got a good spot, and likely to be quiet unless there is an epic surf break lol.
Papatowai is definitely on our list - can you get your Wireless Nation there?
No internet or recpetion on any networks here.
@@leopardsgowild So not on Spark either? That will limit our time there sadly, thanks.
@@Scottygirlnz Yea no connectivity there... Our next video Papatowai is a great spot to base yourself out of... It even has an onsite, gas station shop and fast food...
Sorry I didn't read that right, there is full 4g fast wifi at Papatowai thru wireless nation. Nothing at Purakaunui.
@@leopardsgowild Yay!! Thanks for that. I figured you misunderstood. We get back south tomorrow and are headed straight down to that area. I'm enjoying your videos too, thanks for taking the time to make them.
Love the kiwi level 😂
It works legit good, no point spending money on an electronic one.
Awesome spot and obviously very popular with the surfing community. How were the sandflies?
Heaps of surfers out, obviously lots of regulars who drove on the beach to a couple of camp spots only 4x4 could get to. Sand flies weren't an issue at all.
