You amaze me with your various adventures (on both sea and land) and your seemingly casual approach to the often challenging situations you face. Without doubt your videos are always entertaining! It's also quite obvious the enjoyment you get from the adventures is far more important than any 'trophies' caught/shot. Keep them coming, they're so enjoyable.
Thanks so much! I'm glad that the focus on the adventure comes across, shooting the biggest baddest animal is definitely not much of a priority 😆. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it 😁
loving the vid.... not getting the trophy doesn't detract from the story for me... the adventure is the key. Well done on an amazing and beautifully filmed journey.... thanks from the deep south....
Thanks Johnny (hope that's right haha), yeah I see you went in that way too 😂 I was walking in and out on the 14th and 20th. Awesome to see you get those nice salmon 🤤. Cheers mate 🤙
Those lines on the hillside are odd, and what a mystical look with the cloud coming down, and then being above it. That looked epic. When you see another hunter far away, have you ever thought about firing your gun randomly to say "hi, but go away, I'm here, this is my spot." The valley's looked epic, though perhaps less so when you have to go up and down and up up up. 100% agree with you when you said there is no place you're rather be. It's just nice to be self reliant, with just enough challenge that you don't cry, so that you feel like you've achieved something intrepid, which you seem to do every video. Definitely could have watched part 1, 2 and 3 of this five day hike, rather than all at once. Thanks for all the work, hiking, shooting and editing.
That first campsite was epic with the clouds! Haha it was certainly tempting to wave my jacket around so he knew I was there 😂. Might've been misunderstood though 😂. It was such a pretty walk! Definitely a good challenge, though a couple more deer would've been appreciated 😂. I was considering making a two part thing, but decided there wasn't quite enough action to justify it 😂 thanks Paul 😁
Good stuff brother, you covered some proper miles! The lack of animals is likely due to heli rural flying every man and his dog into that area. Plus it had received some waro pre roar. At least you had some mean feeds at night!!
Thanks Ben, it was a big walk! That's interesting info, was a little put out with the low numbers, but still some epic mountains, and yeah haha certainly didn't go hungry! Was a nice weeks break from it all too 😁. Funny, I had a chat to that hunter I pointed out on the last day, he'd just done a day trip over from the saddle and he'd bumped into you earlier that day 🤣 hope you've been having some good trips! Cheers bro 🤙
Yeah bro that 1st climb is no joke, respect, especially with all that weight you're carrying! Oh classic, I wonder if that hunter has got me confused with someone else cause I haven't been to that area during the roar? Yeah brother had a couple ripper trips. Just got back from a truly epic 9 day solo fiordland trip!
@bendb_wildaboutnz haha thanks Ben, it was a big push to the tops 😂. Huh that's funny, he seemed pretty confident it was you 😂 maybe I got the timeline wrong or he mistook you, he said there was a 10 pointer up those ways when he saw you (or not-you 😂) 🤔. Awesome bro, looking forward to seeing some footage if you make a vid of em 😁
Haha yeah I think it's mistaken identity cause I rarely bump into hunters and when I do, I remember. Maybe us brown/asain hunters all look the same haha. Got some mean footage and it will be featured in my next film. Keep up the awesome work bro!!
@bendb_wildaboutnz oh dear, must've been 😂. Hahaha I'm not sure about that, but maybe we do 🤣. Awesome looking forward to it Ben! Cheers mate you too 🤙
Works pretty well actually! Bit hard to keep on the narrow winding foot trail sometimes, but a good bit faster and easier 😆. Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
70klm?????😱. You serious Tas?????? 70Klm????? I told you before you must be fit and you humbly & modestly dispensed with a polite comment & embarrassment? I love your videos because they are entertaining, informative, and your down to earth approach on land and when you venture into sea. Its all about the hunt for food. Thanks for doing these Tas. Just be careful & keep safe.🙏I only wish I could join you on the occassional venture - Purely to gobble up fresh seafood and chomp on Fresh Red Meat😋
10km per day isn't too bad 😆 be a pretty leisurely pace on a formed trail in any case! Thanks so much I really appreciate it, I'm glad you're enjoying the vids 😊. I love eating 😂. Planning to keep as safe as can be! Cheers mate 😁
😂😂anyone else rewind when they first saw that bloody scooter. Yr awesome bro. 4:45 I shat my pants Tas, that's a looooong way down 😳💩 how come wth all the variety of animals up their you end up with a grubby goat.😂thnx 4 th longer ep too E hoa. Appreciate yr hard Mahi Tas.👉🏽💥🐐
😂 I'd fully recommend the scooter 😂. Thanks Ian! Haha 4.45 was definitely without the heavy backpack on! Haha a sheep was very tempting, but I already had that goat in the bag, next time! Also I'd decided if I were to shoot El Fattus (the stag), it would suck having to carry him plus another deer out 😂 Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed 😁
Haha cheers mate! Was a big walk in an epic spot 😁. I'm actually in no particular hurry to catch up with El Fattus, but a bitta footage and stalking is always fun 😆. I'm sure we'll get onto a stag or two one day! Thanks for watching 😁

Sea, land and scooter 😂
This guy is a wizard of a hunter!!..I like his style and especially the way he tackles that matagouri
Cheers mate 😂 what's a bitta pain eh 😅
Packing the meat grinder status level: legendary
loving the vid.... not getting the trophy doesn't detract from the story for me... the adventure is the key. Well done on an amazing and beautifully filmed journey.... thanks from the deep south....
That's awesome, thanks for the feedback! It's much appreciated 😁. Glad it was still an enjoyable vid without much roaring action 😂. Cheers mate 🤙
Your a machine! And with the mincer and scales love it! Keep it up👍
Hahaha thanks Nick! All worth it for a good feed 😁
Epic video Tasman, I'm amazed we didn't cross paths in there, can't have been too far away. Cheers for another top notch video! 👌
Thanks Johnny (hope that's right haha), yeah I see you went in that way too 😂 I was walking in and out on the 14th and 20th. Awesome to see you get those nice salmon 🤤. Cheers mate 🤙

I'm sure he is 😁 cheers mate
Big walkabout trip, great video with some mint weather, happy days
Thanks Tony!
That scooter is a very novel idea Tas looks like it works ok, another epic walk your a machine ☝☝☝
Works pretty well actually! Bit hard to keep on the narrow winding foot trail sometimes, but a good bit faster and easier 😆. Cheers mate, thanks for watching!

Beautiful views Tasman! Crazy landscape looks very hard walking specially with that pack!
Thanks Summer!

Mate you put in some huge kms on this trip. Gutted ya didn’t get ya big stag bro. Next time🤙🤙

@@NZWildAdventures yea definitely agree mate it’s more about seeing the animals up in their natural environment. Harvesting one is just a bonus 🤙😜
Absolutely! Plus, big ol stinky stag won't be particularly succulent 🤣
This is such quality content!
Thank you!
Nice video! Would love to see ya do another west coast mission
Thanks Neil! Definitely keen to get back there myself 😁
Gidday mate another great trip alot of variety in meat animals you should do a wild cooking segment your tucker looks awesome.
Cheers mate 🤙 I like to do a bit of a cooking segment in each vid, but generally keep em fairly short 🤤
Cheers bro see the mincer got a workout😂😅
Can't get away without it 😂
