- Early March, Tasman popped over to the West coast for a few days, finding some steep hills and bluffs and a bit of succulent venison. Super hard mission but an awesome experience for my second ever hunting trip on the west coast!
Another excellent vid Tasman. I always crack up when the Mincer appears but I almost lost it when I saw the Crumpets on the Camp Toaster!! Keep up the great work. Cheers man.
Yeah cracked up with the retro toaster for the crumpets. Was that a new tent Tasman was rocking?
Thanks bro! The crumpets were way better on the toaster than just over the bare flame, so worth it 😂
Had this tent since the last one got destroyed in the "shoot n smoke" episode 😂
Another great video Tasman, thoughly enjoyed it cheers matey.
Big country, good effort and crumpets 😂😎😎
Another great vid tass that's where I grew up it's the kinda country that turns a boy into a man if you give it a heap of respect.
Thanks mate, it would certainly get you if you're not too careful 😅
Excellent trip. That scenery is hard to beat
Loving your videos you are putting in some hard work on the hill and hard work editing cool drones shots too
Thanks bro! Cheers for the compliments 😊
A good video, and a great trip for you. I worked in that valley for NZ Forest Service in 1984, cutting all the tracks.
Thanks! Hard country to work in, good on ya!
great stuff mate ,you are a real goer, enjoyed the video
Great video as always Tasman, that looked bloody hot! 😅 love the new toy 😁 also loved the toaster set up hahaha 😂 and the bloopers 😁
Thanks Summer! So ridiculously hot 🥵 but the toaster was so worth it 😁
Far out! You are keen on punishment carrying the mincer and toaster 🤣. Cool video, subed.
Thanks bro! Haha I was beginning to have second thoughts on the slippery descent from the tops, but it was absolutely worth it 😂
Great video mate, and I expect the quality of your content to only get better with the introduction of a drone. Drones really give you a better perspective of the surroundings. Cheers for sharing your adventures, it helps for us kiwis living abroad. Can’t beat NZ’s backcountry!
Thanks bro, happy to help 😊 yeah I'm excited to see how it adds to the vids in the future! I'll try up my flying skills too 😂
@@NZWildAdventures Need a permit for them. Other aircraft use the area too & a drone could put one out of the sky. Civil aviation rules & DOC apply. Seen some pretty silly drome flights shown by some who should know better about how close a helicopter can actually get unawares flown right. DoC might give consent in some sites, some will be out of the question. Their response would be interesting
Another great walk, well done👍., those hot pools sure have changed, they were just a hole in the creek bed when I was there 15 years ago, we had to dig them out with a rusty old shovel head so we could take a bath .now they look smart.
Cheers Fred! Yeah I was really impressed by how built up they were, going off the hut book it sounds like a fella named Alan had been going up frequently to build them up over quite a few years.
@@NZWildAdventures Cool, whats your guys background?? Singapore? my wife Thai.
I'm half Malaysian and half white Kiwi, and Arved's family is German originally 👌
@@NZWildAdventures cool, yea could tell, all that good tucker ya cook up is tasty stuff, my mrs cooks some good feeds aswell, and when we go back to Thailand its just feasts daily, 😁
Thanks bro, nothing fancy just good fresh food 😋! That's awesome, I was in Thailand in 2017, cool place, and really yum food 😁 particularly the fruit!
Wow another grate hunt love your meals you have
Thanks 😊! Meat and cheese, what more could I ask for 😂
great video!! Thanks.
Tasman that's impressive an inspiring awesome
Nice video...well worth the editing time.... hope to see more from you
Thanks mate! Plenty more to come 👌
Awesome video bro your a machine brother 👌🤙🤙
Thanks bro!
A proper frypan, what a bloody mincer, and a toaster!! Im starting to wonder about your sanity. But then, what if your normal and its the rest of us who are nuts for not taking them!!! Well id come on one of your trips before NZhunter because the grub looks soooo much better than a backcountry packet.
Haha can't beat a good fry up in the hills with some fresh kill 👌 I'd certainly recommend the mincer for a longer trip, it's only an extra kilo 😂
That looks awesome! What hut is that with the hot pool? I need to add that to my "must visit"
Thanks! Flick us a message, happy to name it privately 👍
Great vid! Man you carry some gear you're a machine bro
Haha thanks bro 😂
Awesome video dude.
Really enjoying your vids Tasman.. What is the weight in your pack appox ?
Thanks mate! Usually 15-30kg on the way in, up to 50/60 (and 86kg once, never again 😂) on the way out depending on how successful the trip was!
Hahaha….. Tasman, once again, how HAWT was it? Luckily you have the strongest legs in the world, which can work in high temperatures, in high altitudes and even rain. Epic views, mind you, epic effort was required. I kept looking out for the carabiner and ropes.. but no. The orange jacket is a good touch for the drone…. can you mount a gun to that drone 😉… then you’d be able to sneak up on the critters with super stealth. And yes, navigation in that weather on the way down… stress. But man, that cool water, hut and hot pool would have been a welcome sight.
HAWT 🤣 haha thanks, the ol legs didn't feel particularly strong by the end of the trip! A rope couldn't have hurt in a couple places which were too dodgy for the one-handed camera operation 😅.
That hut and hot pool were such a welcome break after the steep descent!
Cheers Paul 😁
Mate I've only just found your channel and have subscribed because I love your content but can I suggest that you insert subtitles because I really struggle to understand what you say. Cheers
Thanks mate! Cheers for the feedback 👌. Unfortunately the subs are quite an extra effort to make, perhaps one day I will. In the meantime, the youtube auto subtitles get about 50% of my words right 😂
Thats was a big couple of days, but worth it! Good to see there are still some people who pick up armed hitch hikers in the dark... must have been another hunter?
Haha I wonder who'd be crazy enough to do that, must be a top bloke 😆
@@NZWildAdventures ... or just adventurous!
Choice one wild boy adventure see you in the roar.
Yay!!!!!!!
Consider using a walking pole/hill stick. Your knees will thank you when you are older!
Yeah it would be a good idea sometimes!
Your the man bro some cool adventures
I laugh everytime I see that mincer haha
How do you not get lost ?
Good sense of direction paired with a waterproof phone!
How do you access the huts?
DOC huts are open to the public, some like the wee biv are free to use and others require a small fee 👍
Why do you always make mince and not steak
Honestly on this trip I had to make mince cos I'd dragged the damn thing all that way 😂. Usually I'll do some steak though, but it's generally more tender after a few days.
