    You're a powerful little Packhorse Raddy, massive load, the utmost respect from me, to you and anyone that takes on a 15 day solo adventure in NZ's hardest, but most spectacular conditions
    Great vid all the way thru with some awesome scenery. Didn't you feel "naked" without a rifle?
    Good bits of humour with the hookgrass (the curse off us hairy legged buggers), and arseing off the walking pole lol

    A very sad day here in Japan as our ex Prime minster was shot and killed. I used to tramp alot in the south Island some 30 years ago, time flies. It was so great to see the Keas, Thank God they are still going strong.. Thank you so much for making this Video. it made me forget about all the problems here for an hour.

    Good to see you working for the plants...spreading hook grass seeds ! Actually these things are far more abundant now than originally because grazing pests like goats, pigs, deer and chamois make bare ground for them to grow and spread the seeds.
    Great to see all the lush Olearia scrub. God's garden takes some beating. It puts man made parks and gardens in the shade.

    Not sure I can add anymore to what has already been said, but for sure one of the best vids I've seen. The scenery, the effort, the load you carried(who pack rafts in the Alps). Wow, Raddy you've set a pretty high benchmark.
    Congrats man!!
