  • BONUS CONTENT!!!
    First of a 2 part adventure into the wilderness with a big pack and a plan to find some big brown trout in some of the most stunning surroundings I have seen yet.
    I knew very little about this place and have wanted to explore it for a few years now so finally got myself in there to see for myself.
    A longer form episode this week as it was a big day and I also go into detail about my camping gear and set up, locator beacons and safety and my food of choice whilst on these types of missions...

    Easily the most informative NZ FF channel of it's time. Others came before that were really good and others will follow, but the absences of TOT means we don't get to dream of NZ rivers in a very special way, whether we have been there or not. So I'm going to watch them occasionally, and where I haven't already, give them a thumbs up! When I go back, I know who to hire as a guide.

    Hi Alex, thanks for one more magnificent overnighter. Great fishing and plenty of good info and doubled up on care when out on your own. There are some deep holes in our bush that have huge Taniwha that swallow unwary bushwalkers. Those sandflies are worse than fly strike on a sheep’s backside! Keep safe. Cheers mate. Harera

    Beautiful fish. So good that you promote PLBs, a couple of years ago a SaR guy explained to me it only takes one sq m of dense NZ bush to cover/hide a person, and there's a million sq m to a sq km, and a typical search area is many tens sq kms. So don't go bush without one. Watching that last part made me all itchy.

Are they not present in great quantities in your rivers? Would be interesting to see some representative bugs in future videos, if only as an hommage to old Normand Marsh.

    Hi @Alex, Really enjoy your videos.
    However, just FYI, I believe you are using the inflating bag for inflating the sleeping mat incorrectly. The inflation bag shouldnt be blown directly into by sealing it around your mouth. You may as well blow directly into the mat. Rather, hold the bag open a couple of inches in front of your mouth and blow gently into it from there. The venturi effect fills the bag far quicker than trying to seal it around your mouth. Give it a try and you'll be amazed.

    New subscriber from upstate NY. I'm all about catch and release, but those trout sure would taste good cooked over the camp fire. Is it not allowed to take trout from streams in New Zealand?

    • @TrippinOnTrout
      @TrippinOnTrout  2 года назад

      It’s more that there are not many fish in those rivers and so it’s super important that they are looked after and returned so they can breed and the fishery continues. If people start taking those fish, there literally aren’t any others to replace them.

    Didn’t know you were fluent in goat until now…. Was thinking with some of that sketchy stuff, good thing he has a PLB. Have you ever worried that you will get stuck having started your descent into a river? Or is there always a backtrack option?

      No. There’s just not enough fish in those rivers for people to be taking fish for food.

    Another excellent video Alex, enjoyed your piece on PLB and In Reach, a great description, I carry a PLB when ever fishing as often down in a river bed cell coverage disappears. PLB also has a second frequency 121.5 that the helicopter (or ground team) use to direction find your location from closer range. The info from your PLB is sent to RCC, Rescue Coordination Centre in Wellington who will organize and liase with the appropriate emergency service.

During the witching hours. Love the content.

    Hey Alex another primo mission. Love those solo's. Done quite a few myself over the years. Love spending the time going over the gear and eliminating stuff right down to the last gram. Have got the kit down to super lite-weight 15-16kg for an 8 day mission when I go with my buddy, although I haven't got all the video gear like you. You might want to go even lighter by taking a summer sleeping bag and then use one of those SOL Escape Bivvy bags which you pull over the top of your sleeping bag and is just as warm but will shave up to 500 grams more weight off your load. So can you tell us all what weight your kit is at on a solo with the camera gear included. Cheers.

    Do you keep fish at all, have you tried how good they taste, catching and releasing are for non- fisherman because real fishermen catch clean and cook them up with some good recipes and their videos are awesome so you enjoy your trips im going to keep seeking new U-Tubers who like to eat their catch and show the viewers how to clean them whether it's fish,crab, shrimp
    etc i know without a doubt those nice Rainbow trout taste real good

    • @TrippinOnTrout

      Your comment shows your ignorance towards our fragile Fisheries and just why good catch and release ethics are essential to the sustainability of such places. If everyone had your attitude then there would literally be no fish left in those kind of rivers any more. I hope you never come here to fish.
