i don't even know how you don't have a million subs yet, your one of the best hunters I know and I love watching your videos. also, can you do a chamois hunt please. thx Harry
Hi, it would be awesome of you did a run through of the gear you like to take on you south island mountain hunting trips. Trying to get a good set up so we don't freeze to death, but don't want to take too much stuff and mack the pack to heavy. :D Love your videos, keep up the great work.
I sometimes used to stalk easy Canterbury alpine flats in bare feet, with my boots tied around my neck, to keep it as quiet as possible, and to feel each twig so I would not snap it under foot. I shot at least one evening flats deer while in bare feet. My boot preferences these days are Zamberlan and Scarpa, but while working for NZ Forest Service and while hunting in the 1970s and 80s I always wore lace-up all-rubber Ashley boots, for dry feet, long boot-life, and comfort. In those days however, leather boots were quite shoddy, poorly-made things compared with boots these days with their excellent sole/upper bonding and water-proofing in boots today. Leather hunting boots and outdoor boots in general these days are very strong, very comfortable, very durable, and very expensive. But, good boots are worth every bit of their price. The one piece of outdoor equipment you should never skimp on when buying them, is your boots. I have three pairs of boots: one pr. for higher and harder alpine terrain (Zamberlan), one pr. for medium-to-high terrain Scarpa), and one pr. for easy terrain (Timberland) where I'm carrying a light pack or no pack. A heavier pack demands a heavier boot, virtually no matter what the terrain.
Hey man as a videographer myself if you are inside set your camera to 50hz as that's the frequency rate of the nz grid and will stop the flickering effect on the video
Good advice. I did not recognise the three categories but have found I have three pairs of boots covering exactly the terrains you identified. Super production as always... great effort. Much appreciated. In the three categories you mentioned I went for mountain - German Miendl wider fitting with super ankle support. I need them as I broke an ankle in the mountains and had to walk off with an improvised crutch one year and now the ankle is weak when I get tired, so worth adding stiff ankle support is also a good trait. For an All Rounder the ultra comfy UK Brasher boot which one can just live in everyday and for low land stalking I found a pair of US lightweights the name of which escapes me... very flexible lots of feel but not up to UK or NZ levels of woodland damp and I had to add extra waterproofing.
Great Vid 👍 Maybe cover gear servicing in another video. Boot care Waterproofing Lens cleaning equipment Rifle çleaning ...... What products are available.... Just an idea 💡
If you want a hard wearing boot i can recommend the Lowa hunter gtx evo extreme boots, I wear a size 48, but at 6'6" and 230lbs I'm pretty hard on my boots. They are a bit warm in really hot weather, but they are 100% waterproof, and give great ankle support.

Hi bro love from India
If you want a hard wearing boot i can recommend the Lowa hunter gtx evo extreme boots, I wear a size 48, but at 6'6" and 230lbs I'm pretty hard on my boots. They are a bit warm in really hot weather, but they are 100% waterproof, and give great ankle support.
You got to try the Zamberlan Mountain Trek's mate!!! Italian made and freaken amazing!!!
excellent information
Do you prefer Zamberlan or Lowa boots as they both make super high end boots that cost $800+
I have never had a pair of zamberlan, but your kids are likely to still wear them in 30 years if you buy a pair tomorrow 💪💪
