And another Ruru!! Good spotting!! Another great video. Just love hiking in the autumn. The light is the best. Both those huts are defo going on the to do list!
Brins back happy memories. My last trip there was in spring 1994. A lot of snow and a hell trip down the untacked ridge directly below the hut. The beauty of the Arthur Range. Thanksfor sharing. Neat to see a birdseye perspective..
This spectacular video really captures the thrilling experience that those magnificent places offer. I noticed the days are getting quite short, still dark at 7 am and then pitch black again at 6 pm so I was wondering if you would still be blundering along that long ridge in the dark. Have to say the professionalism of your recent videos is up there. Excellent viewing.
Found your channel a week ago and have binge watched every video! I've changed my plans for our December hike and will tackle some of the tracks that you've covered. I didn't know half of these existed. Keep em coming.
Thanks for watching! It is so much fun and we are so lucky to have all of these beautiful places on our doorstep. Enjoy getting into it! We only started about a year ago and excited to do more. Feel free to ask questions if you need any advice 😊
Another of your great videos I have seen again. A very tough trip. I suggest that Victoria take a pole or two on such trips for her knees' sake, , and maybe even you, Abel. Cheers, from Old Pete.
I want to go over the Luna tops next. That should be a fun trip also. Victoria now has some poles which seem to help a lot. I can borrow one on the down hill sections 👍
Hi Victoria & Abel, Thank you for the very high quality video of your Patriarch trip. The resolution is outstanding, including in the bush which most people do not manage. Also, you have been able to avoid camera shake well. I am a Nelsonion and decades ago I tramped mostly east of Nelson in the Bryant & Richmond Ranges but did a trip up to Biggs Tops/Kiwi Saddle about 20 years ago. I also have enjoyed others of your excellent videos in the Kahurangi NP area where I never managed to visit. Kia kaha korua!
Hi guys... Loving your videos. My darling wife is wondering how heavy Victoria's pack is and would you guys consider sharing your packing list? We live in Golden Bay and we tramp a lot. We have similar gear to you guys and we have just discovered how to make ultra ultra long life cream that doesn't require refrigeration! We now bring Baileys with us. It's great in coffees or on porridge. See you out in the hills sometime.
Hey thanks. In the description of the video I have a basic list of main gear items I tAke on each video. Victoria pack weight Will change a lot depending on the gear. I usually take the entire tent and cooking equipment so Victoria is usually pretty light. That’s sounds tasty nothing better then indulgence while out in nature. If you are in the Cobb regularly I’ll probably see you. I usually go out in bad weather tho lol
I recall the Boulder Lake trip took you 10 hours in rain c/w the 7 hours to Kiwi Saddle Hut. The DOC time is 8 hours for B Lk hut. Although I've seen 3 hours posted as the time to John Reid from KS I consider 5 hours fair if you're unfamiliar with the route, and add an hour for a diversion to Mt Patriarch.
Another great video for me to love. Abel, you and Victoria are the cutest couple. I am curious have you ever gotten lost on one of your many hikes and adventures? R
Hey yea we did once before we were filming our trips. We had to set up camp as it was getting dark and we didn’t know how to get back. We had a good rest then nextndadnslow managed to find out way out
Loved the content, very professional production. One question, did you take a Drone with you? I first thought the drone shots were added in, but you are captured in the footage.
@@AbelandVictoria Was it operated by yourself or did you have someone else operate it. I gather it must have been by yourself as there was never anyone else shown at your campsites.🤒
@@AbelandVictoria haha, maybe you can put this exclusive content on your Patreon :) Love your channel here from NorCal USA, watching more of your videos, please keep it up! I also hope you get some good sponsorship deals from Subaru and Macpac :)
@@ChabbaChabba let me know what video you like the best and why. Will be interesting for me to get this feedback. Maybe one day I’ll be able to generate a little revenue from the content which would be amazing but I just like going on trips and making the videos is stimulating. Also really cool that other enjoy them.
This would have to be some of the best video of this location that I have seen. Just WOW.....
Fantastic video, really informative and entertaining !Coffee always looks so good ! Great footage /production.😆
So loved this! Thanks for sharing. Love the night skies in your time lapses!!
Glad you enjoyed it. I managed to capture a all night time laps on my Ellis basin video which was pretty awesome
I may have got mixed up between the 2...Yes the night time lapse is indeed on your solo tramp to ellis basin. Keep them coming!
Kahurangi never disappoints, epic views. Awesome content.
Thinking about venturing to some of the most remote peaks in kahurangi I think it would make for a great mission
@@AbelandVictoria Least trodden, can tell some of the most amazing stories. Not often we get to see beyond the unmarked trail.
And another Ruru!! Good spotting!!
Another great video. Just love hiking in the autumn. The light is the best. Both those huts are defo going on the to do list!
Is it rear to see ruru up close ? We have seen 3 recently. Both huts are in awesome spots highly recommend checking them out

Hello fellow New Zealanders! You popped up in my recommendations! I've been wanting to get into hiking so excited to watch more of your vids!

Great tramping from the lazy comfort of my lounge. Thanks guys. I didn't even get my feet wet.
