Was a great day walking Aotea Track from Windy Canyon via Palmers Track onto Mt Hobson, Great Barrier's highest point, reviewing Mt Heale Hut then soaking in Kaitoke Hot Springs. Saw historic Oreville on the Whangaparapara road and summited Te Ahumata in search of the disused mine.

Did you know there is an offshore island paradise that is completely off-grid and is only a 30-minute flight or a five and half hour ferry boat ride from Auckland? Discover a part of New Zealand that is happy it didn't get on the fast-paced jet ride of modernization. It's a community with a free and easy lifestyle and it kind of gets under your skin and makes you start thinking about staying longer or at least visiting more, just to get away from the crime, the queues, and the overstimulation of modernism, it's really just how New Zealand used to be.

Stirling job on the steps! Thanks Dave🫡

Thanks 🙏

@genefidz2426 Год назад

Really neat video Dave thanks, and I can’t help but echo your sentiments regarding the old times. Well said.

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

Thanks Gene, are you referring to my little chat about being slow to judge?

@genefidz2426 Год назад

Exactly

@bigsky2081 Год назад

Dave, that was lovely!!!! Relaxing, calming and I agree with your wise words towards the end.🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Jeff, how’s things back home now, getting the damage sorted?

@bigsky2081 Год назад

@@OutdoorsmanDave The government has come in with equipment to clean the river bed out. Record snows in the mountains above us and it is warming up. It is a wait and see situation but we'll get through it regardless. Thanks for asking. 🙏

@joehiker8114 Год назад

Another great video Dave. Thanks. You are very inspiring, especially for us slightly greyer trampers.

Awesome Dave. Another banger. Always look forward to your videos.

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

Aww thanks Greg, lots of my plate in 2023 so might not be banging them out like last year, thanks for watching

@freedom_on_the_trail Год назад

Nice one, Dave. I really enjoyed the pace of this one. Lots of detail that made the track "knowable" even without being on it.

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

Thanks bud, have you done the Barrier, I can see you on this one?

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

Thanks Pete, what was the difference for you please, day hike vs overnight maybe?

@OAPAdventures Год назад

@@OutdoorsmanDave The story certainly flowed nicely and was about the right length. I got the whole story in 1 video and didnt have to wait for subsequent parts to come out. Yeah, I know. I do that too.

Fair call, thanks for feedback

@wildmountainman1 Год назад

Looked likes a great Great Walk, Dave. Nice one.

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

Missing you 😢 I was just watching a creator share why he gave it away at 330k subs. Mikes now doing what I do, has his own adventures and films what he does spontaneously vs scripted and planned activities teaching viewers like you were. Less views but more personal enjoyment and so it’s sustainable ⛺️ Food for thought 🤔

@wildmountainman1 Год назад

@@OutdoorsmanDave must admit, I do miss it at times, however the effort to reward ratio isn’t there for me at the mo. Maybe I should do more camping in the pouring rain videos. 😂 I hope you are doing well.

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

There is absolutely no money for the creator, RU-vid gets it all but so many people are now saying I’m inspiring them…now there’s the reward. But watch this space, the fun police will shut down creatives like me trying to help people in this way 🥲.

Thanks for another great video. By the way very impressed with Fenix 6

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

Thanks Greg, I like my watch, are you saying you have one?

@gregarmstrong5043 Год назад

@@OutdoorsmanDave Yes, I got one after I saw your video. It's great !

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

That’s awesome, which feature/s do you like the most? Mine would be the cardio setting that’s linked to my health app, the hike setting to help tell my viewers distances & hike times and the count down timer to brew my coffee every morning 😂

@gregarmstrong5043 Год назад

Hi Dave, The feature I like best on the Fenix is the Hike mode, great for tramping. GPS is also good for off track exploring. Still learning how to work the different functions.

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

@@gregarmstrong5043 I don't know if mine has a fault but in hike mode, my elevation is shown in feet, it matters not if I set my watch to metrics, what's your experience, please?

@davidneal6920 Год назад

Hi Dave, thanks for sharing this. Beautiful bush and amazing tracks. Great drills on the survival gear. DOC have done a great job on that place. Interesting about the 700 troops stationed there in WWII! (Although it would have been suicidal for the 700 troops if a large Japanese Force did land there! )Cheers Dave
