12 Day Solo Stewart Island Circumnavigation | hunting, fishing and boating around | Part 1 

Tasman (and Arved) have become one of my staples for regular viewing. The more I watch the more I want to watch, if that makes sense. Always puts a smile on my face. Keep it up guys. The content is highly entertaining and quite frankly, the hard yards you both put in is second to none. If you watch the vids, make sure you subscribe! (and no, I don't know them).

I’ve lived in Riverton all my life an have never known anyone to punch the straight in a wee inflatable 🤣 that’s impressive 👌

You deserve to have ten times the number of subscribers! Not many other outdoor channels go and do anywhere near these sorts of true adventures! Good on you.

Thanks for all you do for us bro the man

Wicked bro..shit your keen to go across there in a wee boat can't wait for the next part👌👌

Hunting, fishing, diving, boating and camping all in one trip, solo. That's epic!

Awesome video bro, you’re a bloody mad man for running that in ya boat! Love the vids mate

Holy moly what a trip…I cracked up when you said that you boated over the strait so nonchalantly 😂 epic adventure that is verrry narrce

Lived on Stewart Island many years ago, we had a large generator for our power and crossed Foveaux on the Wairua ferry. Really enjoyed your videos, great seeing your travels on the map.

Better than excellent Tasman!!

My mouth is open and jaw on the floor!

cool video bro

Legendary

You remind me of our local adventurer over the ditch here called ROKKIT. Brave . Fit. Challenges himself continually. But is Sea based as opposed to you who Id regard as a mountain man. (No disrespect tendered. Just sheer awe of your application of skill, fitness and Bravery to execute you adventure hunt. 👍👊

Nice 😊 🤠🤙🤙🤙👌💯💯🎣💪💪

Epic, that’s truly an adventure well done you!I have just come across your channel.Got me on board cheers Steve from Nelson

so wanna go there , really nice footage and good to know i dont have to get in a chopper or 60 foot boat to get there from the mainland , epic work

First time viewer. New sub. Cool video

Way to go Girl.. You’re putting a lot of us boys to shame. Good on ya 👍

You're an absolute inspiration. Doing what most of us dream of doing. Please keep doing these amazing videos!

Gday from tassie in Oz land. Please, more of these solo dinghy trips, awesome stuff!

Really enjoying this series as I love Stewart Island. Some of your recipes look yummy !! Especially the Moki curry. Will be on the island again in Jan'24

Great video Tasman, I've never seen such an easy paua hunt! Love that you took some vege on the trip, gotta keep it healthy 😁 thought you said blueberries instead of booboos 😂 Great footage of that white tail!

I just met a NZ guy , a friend in the gym. I went to NZ in November. He suggested next time to go to Stuart island. What a coincidence that this afternoon I came across this

Interesting and first rate video coverage which I enjoyed having visited the island many years ago. If I can offer a constructive criticism, the video would be greatly enhanced for it's documentary value if the dialogue was improved by clearer, slower diction. Thanks for the video and I'm looking forward to part 2.

Wow I’m so glad I come across your channel!! Your awesome, subscribe and turned on notifications 🔔

Awesome bro, love the content. I'm in Oz and want to come home and do some solo missions. Hunting diving living of the whenua. Mean as 👍👍

Came across this video purely by chance and enjoyed it SO much that I just had to go on and watch the other two you made of the trip,Have been to the Island many times and it is without dought my happy place any where in the world and I enjoyed that you managed to take us to a lot of the Island's more remote parts ,some I have been to and some not (never been down the piece from Doughboy Bay to Pegasus)and as I'll turn 68 in a couple of months don't think I'll get to see some of them again, What really surprised me was that you were able to get into such a small boat in the first place as it takes BIG BALLS to do a trip like that solo at the best of times, Was surprised you didn't have any footage of Belltopper Falls when you were in Pegasus later in your trip as it is probably the best waterfall on the Island, My biggest question of your adventure though is how you managed to have enough Battery Power for that length of time for all you devices.Would also love to know if you managed to get out the top of the bush when you hunted up the old Horse Tram line from Diprose Bay in Pegasus? as when I went up there 30 odd years ago there was still a lot of evidence of the tin mining to be seen up there including the amazing rock dam that powered the water lines for the tin miners and there was still a lot of the old wooden rails and sleepers in evidence,finally I would just like to add that these 3 video's have been some of my most enjoyable watch's ever on U Tube ,thank you for the trip and I going to go back and watch all 3 again soon just to enjoy it all again

Wicked vids bro keep it up 🤙🏼 Part 2? Edit: cancel that , found it. Truely epic content bro 🤙🏼

Awesome. I’ve been to a lot of those bays but not like that. Well done. Isn’t NZ cool.

Shot bro

Just popped across aye bro,I've herd guys with bigger boats complain about that crossing no sweat to you alright

A decent buck print including dew claws would get close to filling the area in the L of your thumb and pointer finger. They look like whitetail doe to me

Still surprises me how many people don't thump paua , instead beat it with a rock to tenderize it !

How many kms did you cover in the we boat awesome video really enjoy them keep up the good content

Balls of steel! That is one hell of a trip in that little boat. Be interested to see what the eastern side looked like, between Pegasus and Lords river tends to be interesting year round. From Tikotatahi onwards not too bad. Are you using inreach for weather?

Tasman considering how fast he can eat a whole buck; a week for an average man, Tasman could do it in 4 days. You’ve mastered that drone quickly, and they were fantastic shots. I was surprised at how calm it all looked and so far, and I was more worried for you on the Hollyford/Milford 4-part episode, though perhaps there is more danger to come (sharks and spiders aside). It looked pristine (apart from the cats) and so many fish - maybe this is where the expression shooting fish in a barrel comes from. Did the circumnavigation make you think about maybe walking around it, or was this enough?

It fascinates me that you take your little boat across to the island. Epic adventures, is it very good hunting the open area for whitetail? Obviously no huts but I guess not that many people hunt that area?

I have so many questions!

awesome vid , and brave did you take all your food and fuel or have stuff stashed , what horse powers your outboard ?

Great video mate, what type of drone are you using ?

Nice master! Bagong kaibigan po full support sayo, kaw na bahala sa resbak master, fish on! 🎣😁

Cool video! What brand of boat is that?

Ummmmm what were those claw prints from? Haha

Could you tell me abit about your boat? Length make etc?

Hi Tasman i would love to be on one of your adventures but i don't think my balls are big enough , great watching

(Insert nicest possible comment know to man here)

What size is your outboard

Hi man. When you come back to Stewart Island I'm keen come with you.. I'm leave down South. Cheers
