The video absolutely enhances the lived experience for the better. Beautiful terrain, challenge, capability and lols. Great edit Abel, and epic work team making it though this one in one piece!!!!! How good was the feast afterwards!
Awesome adventure! I hope Radix and Real Meals sponsored you - that is a huge cost for all that dihi! Our family did an over night at Angelus Hut 4th Jan 2023 - was going to stay another night but mist came in and never went so we went back down via Speargrass. The camera walk setups must have added a few km to the trip but appreciate the effort :)
The convenience is worth it to me especially on more intense trips. Great products. I think all my camera gear and electronics add up to 3kg or so. Thanks for watching 👍.
Wow you guys pushed some k's out, very impressive. I had been looking forward to watching this video and it hasn't dissapointed, beautifully done. Love the lighthearted dynamics between the three of you.
Prior to the trip I was having trouble deciding the best way to split up the trip. I settled on this break down as I thought it maximised the time best. When at home looking at the topo map you can some times get a little over enthusiastic haha.
Great Video, stunning country, real nice swimming spots, great trip, beautifully videoed and fantastic editing, a joy to watch. Thank you again for sharing your trip. Amazing, Cheers, and all the best to you all for the rest of this year!!!
That was an EPIC trip. I loved the B-Roll snips like heads popping outa tents etc. Anton is good value with Victoria a trooper. We got to Upper Travers on night 2 after visiting Coupla hut first. I had to watch this in 3x 20min slots as life is too busy for an 1hr, so I think you’ve found a way to boost your view rates 😂 Well done to you all 👏👏👏
Trip was pretty full on. Didn’t get to much time to sit back and take it in. The struggle on big days is enjoyable though makes good memories. I going to have to go back and visit some of these huts at some stage. I considered breaking it into a few parts but decided the full feature I liked best. Filming Anton is great he is pretty funny. Victoria did well her leg was getting rather bad on the last day.
Nice vid. Not sure if anyone mentioned but from Morgan Hut to Durville Hut you should cross the river where the ridges come down rather than hiking up each hill. Will save you tons of time and effort. PS My mate Noel shot that deer. It's one of our favourite hunting spots.
Thanks tony it was a great trip. Yeah as we were going up and down along that section of track I was think it seemed pointless especially the last climb up near the Durvil hut. Dear looked very fresh must have just missed your mate.
@@AbelandVictoria there's a little bush bashing to do but compared to going over the ridges it's nothing. from memory you cross 4 times now. used to be 6 but erosion sorted some of it.
Awesome video beautifully put together. I felt like I was right there with you without all the hard work. I look forward to seeing more stunning adventures. Well done.
Always had big agnes tents, iv got the copper spur hv ul 2, wonderful for the money. Just ordered the expedition for this winter in the UK Mountains. Nice channel, keep on adventuring 🗻⛺️
What an incredible journey through spectacular scenery. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching, so I've subscribed, and am looking forward to watching some of your previous videos.
amazing trip! I am enjoying this channel at the fullest ! Watching some of the videos with wifey hoping I'll convince her to join me camping and hiking in remote places:) ! She is too afraid of the wilderness ... You and Victoria are a great team! Good luck!
seriously enjoying watching your vids! I did the Nelson lakes about 6yrs back, incl another valley where we crossed the Moss Pass. St Angles is a great hut new hut, but was riddled with mice at that time. Now, there were faaarrrr too many mice there. Raiding packs and jumping onto beds and squeaking loudly all night.
Just found your channel and loving the content - particularly like how you revel in conditions that would make most folks cancel a trip. Makes great viewing.... thanks.
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Absolutely Amazing how you were able to do all that climbing up and down the mountains ⛰️. Ya’ll are amazing. 🤗💕
@@AbelandVictoria I assume the pickup point for the boat had cell service or was it pre-arranged? Is it possible to walk around the lake or would that have added a couple of days to it? Final question - is that area close to the TA trail?
Great video, I tramped some of that area in the mid 1960's. Brings back wonderful memories. Not so many huts in those days. We had to bush-whack our way around the west side of Lake Rotoroa. Best wishes for the future.
You're a legend! I started tramping in the 1970s as a teenager, and I love watching these guys too. We used to carry 27kg packs back in the day, with pup tents etc. 😅
Wow best trip ive done and with you 😊.. I see you mentioned our dear friends the sandflies once .....how were they for you overall ...they can make or break some trips ..even a swim !! ...didn't see them hogging the camera at all ... beautiful thks so much to u all ...
You mentioned not being quite match fit for this walk... But the way you both nonchalantly flipped your packs onto your backs at Blue Lake in the morning didn't look too unfit at all! I guess they were a few meals lighter than when you started, but still, impressive. I usually match my pack hoist with an old man groan these days. Enjoyed the video - it brought back some good memories for me.
Maybe cardio fitness was up to the task but more lacking in conditioning of the feet and knees. After the trip my feet have now hardened up nicely. Next time we will be make sure to have a few more calories on a long trip. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
New subscriber here. I found your channel as I was scrolling tramping NZ videos. You brought back memories of my youthful tramping in the 1970s, especially with the weight of the packs. Ours were regularly 27kg + 😅 I'm now in my later 60s and still love tramping - aiming for TA next summer 24-25. Your videography is excellent as is your narration. So relatable! This was sure an epic adventure! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Anton running down the scree reminds me of how we did that inside the crater on Mt Tarawera in 1975. 😂 I have the exact same boots as Anton in the women's version and they're amazing. All the best as you continue your wonderful adventures, and thank you so much for sharing them with us. You two are inspiring. Warm regards to your beautiful Victoria as well from this Ninja Nana. ❤
Thank you for these amazing videos. I'm from the States and have been on two tramping vacations to NZ and planning a third. Nelson Lakes is one of my favorite parks. I just want to suggest a trip you might enjoy. From Hopeless creek Hut up sunset saddle then over the ridge to Sabine Hut. Then up Mt. Misery. You could spend a few days up there, lots of ridge to explore. Then back out via Sabine hut and sawgrass huts. I call it the hopeless miserable route. Thanks again
Hey welcome. Hopefully you enjoy them. We are always trying to get better at making the vids. My favourite is probably the Nelson Lakes Grand Tour video 😀
Really enjoyed your video. I did the much shorter St Arnaud - Lake Angelus - Cascade -St Arnaud last year and those were long days for me (at 72) but so much of your Day1 and 2 brought back great memories. Have been thinking about Travers-Blue Lake-Sabine as a loop so the rest of Day2 and Day3 are great background for that too. I think I will leave the Waiau and Durville stuff to you younger folk! Great achievement both physically and artistically. Respect!
Hey thanks glad you got something from the video. Your trip sounds like a great effort at 72. I hope that I can still get out in the hills at that age.
Absolutely stunning, just beautiful location ❤ that waterfall reminded me of a time my husband & I took a shower underneath a waterfall. It was SO cold but was wonderful 😊❤
This is the 2nd time I've viewed this video ad it gets better all the time! I'm a Nelsonian and have ramped over much of Nelson Lakes but always wondered what Thompson Pass would be like. Now I know! A fantastic trip (the best says Abel) and great videophotography! Thank you guys. From Old Pete.
You have made my favorite You Tube video. Videography is amazing and all the scenery breathtaking. Beautiful country. You all make these Alpine hikes and elevations look so easy.
new zealand is a blessed with some magnificent landscapes. in my opinion, it's up there with switzerland, which means it's the best in the world. quite an adventure. great effort. thanks for making this video.
Great clips guys. Tenting away from the intrusive atmosphere of huts is worth the effort, and you have a more complete experience of our back country. My week enjoys a 12kg pack. Try a Magnesium cap' or two after a hard day to avoid cramp, and I really appreciate you displaying your intended route.
Thanks David. Yeah wouldn’t be the same staying at the huts. I have been having these tablets called salt sticks. They are just a simple electrolyte mix I think. That tail wind stuff we were drinking was nice on a long hot day
As you grow older, consider taking supplements of fish oil, and glucosamine/Boswellia/chondroitin. I'm 66 and still tramping regularly. Aiming for TA next summer 24-25 when I'll be 67. I still love climbing mountains! 😁 @@AbelandVictoria
Great content love it...... new subscriber from Niagara Falls Ontario...... just letting you guys know that our up is you're up to you are 100% not upside down on a spinning ball lol...... when I flew to Australia at no point did my senses tell me I was upside down in gravity is only buoyancy intensity when something is heavier than the air around it it falls we live on a flat stationary enclosed system not in space stars and moon and sun rotate on top of us..... why the Moon is upside down in Australia is because the moon rotates like a wheel believe it or not..... we are intelligently designed reality of Our Truth that has been hidden from us God bless you both
I've always dreamed of going to New Zealand so I am so glad I found your channel 😊 really enjoy your video's and so I subscribed. Looking forward to watching more 👍 ❤😊
Another epic journey, headed down to Richmond Range in and around Lake Chalice in March. As usual Doc times done by 21 year old without a 25kg pack 🤣. Think you guys should invest in 1 walking pole, reduces weight on legs by 25% and maybe invest in a Garmin Inreach Mini 2 to keep you on track 😊 Thanks for the great effort in recording your adventures.
Fantastic tramp you 3, I never did the D'Urville, Thompson in Winter though, when stationed in Forestry in Hamner, did Clarence an East Sabine. Great attitude, and food (whew, what Cost0!. I like your music background. Fantastic Route. Hope your knee is better Victoria, you are a trooper. Like all your GB trips, I lived there for some years and played with the trails from the Tasman Sea to AT in the East, just right. Keep it up.
Well finally watched your latest, adventure. What an epic Journey. Great to see Anton join Team Able and Victoria. Looking forward to your next adventure.
That was amazing and you guys did so well. The boat ride at the end must have been very sweet. What's happening with DOC maintaining the tracks these days ? ? ? Thanks so much I really enjoyed that. The food looked interesting and easy too.
Hi Guys, great video! its so beautiful! We really enjoyed watching the video. Is ther a way to show graphically your route? I would really like to google earth it.
Hi guys what temperature rating is your sleeping bag for this trip, and what month did do this track? Just trying to figure out if a -6c bag is enough if going there in autumn/winter
Your first day was too big for a first day. Your second day was too big for a second day. This trip is better if you leave Angeles to last. Day 1 Rotoiti to Travers Saddle. . . Day 5 D'Urville to Angeles via Cedric Ridge. Day 6 Angeles to Rotoiti by Robert Ridge. If the weather plays up and you cannot do Robert Ridge, you have the less exposed Cascade route and Speargrass route to chose from. If you need to cut the trip short you can go out Rotoroa. A terrible pity about the shot of the moon over Lake Thompson.
hi guys, i love your videos and would love to attempt what you do as an entry level camper, where is a good place for info, maps of the nelson lakes area and which tracks do you recommend for a few days out as a beginner. i'm fit and i train.
Hey thank you. There is plenty of info on the tracks online personal blogs and the doc website probably the best option to get some specific info. I’d recommend lake Angelus as a good fairly straight forward trip. You can go along Robert ridge and out via spear grass track. Kahurangi has lots of fun tracks also. Have a look at some of our older videos. Feel free to ask any questions 👍
Thanks for your reply. we plan to stay there one day next week. could you please guide me, where we can park the car and how long is the distance to the first camping destination
The video absolutely enhances the lived experience for the better. Beautiful terrain, challenge, capability and lols. Great edit Abel, and epic work team making it though this one in one piece!!!!! How good was the feast afterwards!
It does a good job at showing the trip I think.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Stunning but tough looking trip! Bloody awesome guys great vid!
You look like thor in this video .
Much peace and serenity in this video also .

Tip. Have you been up to bobs hut? Up the matakitaki. Thinking of going up there and over 3 tarn pass.
Perfect film making and captured the spirit of tramping beautifully…

My pleasure!
Awesome video beautifully put together. I felt like I was right there with you without all the hard work. I look forward to seeing more stunning adventures. Well done.
Thanks. Always trying to improve my video making skills. Glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more vids coming this year

We were to begin with also but slowly built up our skills. 😀
Totally awesome! 😀 And U are well over the 1000 subs now. Congratulations

Bravo pour ton travail c’est magnifique ça fait rêver !!!

Thank you.
What a grand adventure. Those particular tarns and lakes worth the agony.
Maybe slightly ambitious for our current condition but we managed just. Lake Thompson is awesome and the big upper tarn at travers saddle.
very senic and peacefull thanks.

Another epic journey, headed down to Richmond Range in and around Lake Chalice in March. As usual Doc times done by 21 year old without a 25kg pack 🤣.

What do you mean lol
@@AbelandVictoria what do you mean what do i mean? hes the king of the mountain
Loved video but if u do the dusky track u need to b way fitter and victoria is georgious

Hi Guys, great video! its so beautiful! We really enjoyed watching the video. Is ther a way to show graphically your route? I would really like to google earth it.
Hmmm not really. You should be able to follow the place names with google earth though
Amazing, which month you did the trip?
Thanks. Over news years. First night was New Year’s Eve
Hi guys what temperature rating is your sleeping bag for this trip, and what month did do this track? Just trying to figure out if a -6c bag is enough if going there in autumn/winter
This trip was over New Years full summer. We used -1 rated quilts. I’d say if your planning to camp in places we did -12 minimum
Great video as always. Just curious what camera do you use?
Thanks. I have Sony a7c and was using the 24-104 f4 g
@@AbelandVictoria Nice camera setup!! What are you holding the camera with? Tripod in hand or gimble of some sort because your video is very still
Epic
It was rather tough at times lol.
Could you please tell me the exact starting point and routes
Your first day was too big for a first day. Your second day was too big for a second day. This trip is better if you leave Angeles to last. Day 1 Rotoiti to Travers Saddle. . . Day 5 D'Urville to Angeles via Cedric Ridge. Day 6 Angeles to Rotoiti by Robert Ridge. If the weather plays up and you cannot do Robert Ridge, you have the less exposed Cascade route and Speargrass route to chose from. If you need to cut the trip short you can go out Rotoroa. A terrible pity about the shot of the moon over Lake Thompson.
First day was the smallest day. Robert car park to angules is a small distance and easy walk. What about the shot of the moon?
So you set up camera walk away from it then walk towards it again then walk back towards it to pick it up or do you leave it there ha?
Leave it

Have a look at some of our older videos. Feel free to ask any questions 👍
@@AbelandVictoria thankyou i'll look at those
Has anyone hiked this track in (late) April? How manageable it was in terms of cold?
Should be fine. It would be cold at the high elevation camping spots 0 degrees maybe less
How about your srilankan curry??? Delecious?? Isn’t it
Yeah it’s real good
@@AbelandVictoria loved watching your camping videos
From Sri Lanka
Is there any bookings or special permission requires to stay in tents
There are some rules. Depends. Take a look online doc website

Hi!!
Hey
Thanks for the tramp, guys. The English language does not have enough words to describe the landscape of Aotearoa.
Smaller sections, resting, enjoying the surroundings. Cut down on the big trudges, nothing to enjoy doing all those big days
I enjoyed it even with the long days
Hike your own hike.
They clearly enjoyed this epic adventure. 😁
