In this two part series we explore the South Island in winter - challenged by the weather, things don't quite go to plan - but that's part of the fun!
Part two takes us up to the old Big River gold mine before heading across Lewis Pass and out towards Lake Tennyson for a freezing night.

Awesome adventure ... I better give those places a go, especially in winter.

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Cheers mate! Adds a level of challenge - but was worth the effort to see the south in winter!

Hi from oz. I just read your comment and thought you might like my camp set up, Australian locations including world heritage listed K’gari (Fraser Island) and camp cook ups. Cheers travel safely Out There Touring

It was a pretty special time of year to be down there!

We camped at lake Tennyson in mid February and had a mean as frost so it’s one cold place

@OverlandNZTV Месяц назад

Sure is! Well worth it though eh - just have to be prepared for the cold, even in summer

@lesmondk3376 Месяц назад

@@OverlandNZTV we’ve done a lot of those trails every February we spend a month down south we sleep in our trucks so we don’t have to worry about the weather and wind etc

Great Video, I've not been to Big river or Lake Tennyson, albeit I have ridden my MTB twice past the entrance to Lake Tennyson, the south island is my home! thanks for sharing

Love your work. That is spectacular scenery. Will mark this as a "to-do" on Navigator Pro!

Cheers Brendan! It blew my mind - I've been through all these places in summer - they're completely different in winter - well worth the effort!

Stunning trip. Loving this series. Hopefully that'll be me next year. Hoping to move to Christchurch for a lifestyle change.

@SteveKB100 Год назад

Awesome! Shame you couldn’t make it up to the traction engine at big river, It’s seriously impressive and not much further up the track. I did a solo two week trip in the South Island during winter, absolutely loved it! Great video.

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Cheers mate! I know - went up there last time I was there - it’s amazing! The river had come up heaps during the morning and we didn’t want to risk getting trapped. Winter is pretty special eh - so different to summer!

Been waiting for this. Off Road Animal bullbar is available now, they look mint. I will be ordering one shortly 👍

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

They are indeed - have seen a few photos - they look awesome eh. I normally dislike bars with hoops... But the Offroad Animal one looks mint

Awesome video - love the production with your choice of music. It can't have been easy getting all those shots in inclement weather. I've been waiting a year for my Fortuner now, and it still looks like another 4 months 😒 .. Any chance of getting a comparison between the tent/awning setup on your Fortuner vs the Hilux in this video. Having the awning pushed forward with a narrower tent looks like an interesting option (if it fits on the Fortuner).

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Cheers! Appreciate it! It wasn't the easiest trip to get footage - non-stop rain and cameras don't mix well. Ohhh that's a decent wait! Hopefully it shows up sometime soon.. It's worth it though. This trip was the first big one I've done in it - was an awesome car for it. I had my old Hilux setup almost the same as Ash's one - it worked way better, can't deny that. But the Fortuer isn't really long enough. In saying that - between the awning, boot and tent you do get a fair bit of cover with how I have mine setup

@chriscole2337 Год назад

Awesome trip by the looks of it! Def need to add to “the list” of places to go! Hey question when your relaxing or cooking dinner in evenings how do you keep warm? Do you use a fire pit or gas heater or something? I’m finding that the problem for my partner, once we get in tent it’s all warm.

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

It was pretty awesome - cannot deny that! It depended on the night - the 'warmer' ones were all good with just good thermal layers and jackets. In all honesty though, by the time we got into camp, setup, cooked food and dumped footage it was 8pm and we just went to bed - sitting around in -2 and sleet isn't really all that nice

Can I come with you on your next trip?

@syedshafqatali9969 Год назад

Awesome video. Added to my to-do on my Jeep Gladiator.. hey just one question do you need to be get your vehicle self-contained to camp where you camped?

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Cheers mate! Awesome place down there. No need to be self contained - they're all DOC sites, most of which anyone can stay at

@charlotterobinson1302 2 месяца назад

Just a normal boot!!! These laptop boots are dumb tech... and the radios, heating and windows (can't roll mine up without engine running). Nice vid tho. Thanks.

@OverlandNZTV 2 месяца назад

The boot is such a pain - would love an old school boot that just opens, but Toyota didn’t offer the option in NZ sadly

@GerardMiles Год назад

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Out of interest, what do you do for a living?

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Just downloaded the app today, where would you recommend a beginner with kids to start with in north island ??

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Where abouts in the North Island are you? Any of the green tracks should do the trick - they're mostly scenic/touring, good place to start

@richardchapman6340 3 месяца назад

I thought that lake Tennyson area was closed between 1 April and Labor weekend ? .

@OverlandNZTV 3 месяца назад

It's open year round 👍 The road shuts just north of the turn off to Tennyson during winter

@richardchapman6340 3 месяца назад

@OverlandNZTV Thanks for that , I will remember the next time I'm down that way .

@kamhofok5383 Год назад

stunning video! just wanna ask is it what people called 'freedom camping'?

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Cheers mate! Freedom camping to me is a carpark where you can park your campervan - not something that appeals to me! All the places we stayed are just basic DOC campsites - longdrop toilet and nothing much else

What was that air compressor you’re using

@OverlandNZTV 2 месяца назад

It’s a TJM Pro Series single compressor. Works awesome and means I always have air. Did a mini look at it in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PCD5xtrEosU.htmlsi=w-FAAXrARdAObFAq

@goodtimes1046 Год назад

17f, not that cold. Single digits is when fire starters have a hard time working. That and below are the scary parts.

@td42williams77 18 дней назад

Calm down mate, it's pretty bloody cold

@bendiesel9132 Год назад

Did i hear Electric blanket ?….

@OverlandNZTV Год назад

Sure did - 12v electric blanket from KMart of all places. Used it for maybe 15 minutes before getting into bed on the coldest nights, getting into a warm sleeping was was pretty awesome (especially when you've been out taking photos at 4am)
