  • Never a dry day on Te Araroa! I hike through the beautiful Takitimu mountains, tramp through miles of boggy tussock, take an accidental day off in Te Anau, and make some new friends.

      not to mention new knee's,
      The amount of people in my circle of friends who are active and had hip replacements, and knee reconstruction surgery 😂 they're back on bikes and walking trails.

    Another awesome episode. “I’m gonna sit on the couch and eat some chips.” The little things are so good. 💛✨

    Oh wow! It's so beautiful and wet. Those bridges are crazy and probably wet. Love that river walk with the mountains backdrop, also looks wet.
    Anyway it's such a pretty hike.
    And wet 😊
    Thanks for the piggy back ride along with ya.

    It’s not UL but you need to get one of those personal sized Thermacell anti bug things. You can hang it on your pack or set it near your vestibule to keep the bugs away. It will help with the sand flies. Be well! You are amazing!!

    • @LaurenRoerick
      @LaurenRoerick  5 месяцев назад +1

      Ooh I wonder if those would really help for sandflies! Luckily they can’t get you while you’re walking, just at camp. But damnnnnn are they itchy!

    I didn't know that sandflies are such a pain... I like the bridge and it sounds like a lot of fun to meet the sobo's. They must have started early in the season.
    But I understand you prefer you tent over a crowded room...
    Good going!
    By the way, what tent do you use? I know it's Big Agnes. But don't know the type.
    All the best! Kaat

    • @LaurenRoerick
      @LaurenRoerick  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah the sobo season is much earlier, and I started NOBO quite late. It was sure fun meeting other hikers!
      The tent is the tiger wall UL 2 :) i love it.
