6 Day / 130km Solo Wilderness Adventure Through Middle Earth 

Me to, how amazing

Well not for free, lol, I mean he makes some money. Not even close to enough though, dude needs to be full time making six figures a year because he rules so hard.

Thank you for taking us along with you. Everything was friggin beautiful. It seems that the head wind was a blessing as you were able to hike through the forest. It also seemed like you paddled down river to the ocean, then paddled down river away from the ocean. The drone shots were spectacular. Sand flies are a pain all over our beaches too.

How do you pay him from the states for this epic content?

Thats NZ awesome dude well done really enjoyed watching your trip

There is no such thing as Aussie or Kiwi "blood". All of our ancestors were from Europe and elsewhere.

Cool stuff. I lived in Sydney for many years and then in china for even longer but still the draw of Nz brought me back. See you out there!!!

Aussies are our cousins, you'll always be welcome here bro. See ya down the pub.

shut up@@darrellm9915

Loved your vid mate, what a trip! Absolutely beautiful scenery, your awe of the beauty is tangible. I have had several moments like that when in the southern Alps. I don’t live in NZ anymore but I still go there at least once a year and love the beauty of the place. I am an Aussie now and live on the Sunshine Coast which is also a beautiful place. Good luck on your future adventures.

Hate to break it to you, but open fires are banned in 99% of that scenery you see in this video.

Light up a few incense sticks… done

Absolutely spot on mate.

How he had so many views but ppl can’t take the time to like the video is beyond me.

@@melissa1488 exactly. Only like 130k subs aswell.

Put some respect on Scotty's name!

Fun fact - Māori name is Tutumairekurai 😊

I've hiked the 'Devils Track' or Demon Trail and done the packraft trip and yes, the hike is brutality. The walk along the coast is very rugged though, I remember the shore having bowling-ball-sized smooth rocks that made my ankles roll a lot.

It will have been nostalgic for you watching this huh. We are such a blessed little country. I love tramping in our wilderness. ❤

Hah!! Any country has pockets of "peacefulness." But there is strife in New Zealand just the same as in every other country. After all, its inhabitants are human beings!!!!

S tier comment

yeah and all the introduced pests....possums, rats, stoats, ferrets, hedgehogs, pigs ect@@thelostchapstick3281

Or, don’t park your tent on the beach. Go up the hill, just a bit, into the protected forest. Find a level spot, under some trees. Look out for widow makers. The tree duff will be more comfortable. The trees will protect from the weather. And the sand flies/flees will not be there. Things that make you go, “Hmm”.

​@@papajeff5486 ...fleas*...? And mosquitoes!!! 🦟!!!!😊

Are the sandflies bad in winter as well?

Tassie is one place I'd love to visit. Kiwi tramper here. 😊

Tassie is paradise

Tassie born and still here in the bush with views of a lake and mt Cameron behind....I'd love to visit New Zealand ❤

Minus the things that want to kill you.🤣🤣🤣👊

@@GypsyGirl317 direct flights from ChCh and Akld now to Hobart!

What loop is it called

​@@dawsontatlow9911 hollyford river, Pyke river loop

it only rained once, haha, but the rain lasted 4 days!!!! love it.

Amazing yes. Clean not so much. I suggest you read about that. But beautiful no doubt.

Yeah nah on the clean part. Studying the environmental sciences obviously helps in this regard but yeah; in a river cleanliness test, the majority of them are riddled with pollution. Cutting down natives, and replacing with leeching farms and pinus monocrops keeps degrading it further. The way our small population (relatively speaking) and governments throughout the decades have treated the place is nothing short of despicable. West western govts. and civilisation as a whole takes a step back for once and lets the world breathe deeply again (like it did during lockdown for all to see) then and only then can she recover. It's time to stop seeing ourselves as somehow separate and better than nature, when in fact we are. We can only take so much from her as a species per year, not letting her replenish, before things start to fall apart (as has been pointed out by us scientists for a while now). SORRY for the lecture haha. Beautiful, yes (depending), clean? Sadly, definitely not (The Tourism industry and Agri (and fossil obvs.) being the biggest reasons

@@adamjoshuahughes3971 its all relative. The rivers in NZ for most part don't have traffic cones and burnt out cars in them. Which is better than my country.

The sand-flies though, they can beat you up.

@@pressb Yeah, endurance sport! 😆

Lots of massive spiders actually, but not the sort that kill you.

We have ants they are more in the town and citys and parts of the bush

@@meganmills5412nz ants are nothing compared to Aussie ants though. Ants in Aussie are huge and all bite 😩

hell yea

What is the trail called? Love to do it. Please share details

Soak gear in 10%solution of dishwash for 10 mins or make sure everything is completely dry

Do it! 😄

Same same & I live here..this is something I have to do..planning starts tomorrow 👍🏽
