I’ve been a huge fan for about 4 years. I actually did this hike about 3 years ago, after being inspired by you. It’s crazy to see you do the same hike. The memories where flooding back. Funny story but at the camp one of the parrots actually ate all my food but a jar of peanut butter that was stashed in my tent. I woke up to a total crime scene out my tent when I woke up. Needless to say, this trail has had a huge impact on me and I’m really happy seeing you do the same trail. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Those kea are the same gang every year at Iris Burn! Got to hide stuff in your tent or you lose it haha.

Same. So many memories. Beautiful video. Incredible hike.

Never leave your luggage unattended on this track. My backpack almost go picked apart by curious Kea parrots 😂

Great choice of music, thanks for the hard work that goes into your channel.

Oh I hiked this one back in 2016 ! Your video brings back a lot of good memories. The Keas, the fjords, the unspoiled nature... Thank you for your inspiring work ❤

@paulmason6860 5 месяцев назад

How great are those Kea encounters!?? Epic to see Kraig enjoying some of Aotearoa's finest. Hope to see you here again, there's so much more to discover.

I think many of us who watch your videos ask ourselves: Why are Kraig Adams hiking films so good? Superior editing? Better narratives? Better Music? I really think your strength is how you appreciate the viewpoint of your audience. Your latest hikes incorporate your friends and more of your relationships with wildlife. It made me think that the part of you that must be a really decent, humble human being is the vicarious viewpoint that allows us to experience the natural world you photograph as beautiful. Merry Christmas, Kraig Adams. Thanks again for a great video.

It’s really the amount of effort he puts into it and showing the amazing landscapes. I imagine it’s super tedious to keep having to set up the tri pod just to capture a clip of him walking, especially at an incline. He has to set it up, go back up the incline, then go back down to retrieve his camera, and do the incline again. And for these long hikes that adds up, most people won’t do that so that’s what makes his content more enjoyable

@hypernatethis43 5 месяцев назад

Did this track in 2019, some of the greatest views I've come across hiking. Wonderful video as always mate!

@sequoiasemperviren3163 5 месяцев назад

New Zealand has boundless beauty. I had the good fortune to work with Kiwis on the New Plymouth Gas to Gas project. They were just some of the most incredible, nice, congenial, hospital people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Your vids are bringing back some memories! Was lucky enough to spend 3months there in summer of 04, did 13 multi day hikes including the Kepler and the Rees-Dart tracks. Nice vids, keep them coming

I love how curious the birds were of your gear. It feels so wholesome

@bananarama3624 5 месяцев назад

Don't worry they will find anything that is dangling and rip it off. There are videos where Kea's have stolen gopro's that were left for less than two minutes at Luxmore Hut. As a Kiwi myself, I love them to bits, but you definitely don't view them as wholesome after they rip off the rubber of your windscreen wipers haha

@Stormlep1 5 месяцев назад

They are not wholesome. They are little gremlins

@zivbernstein8080 5 месяцев назад

Brought back some amazing memories with this one

@jorisev 5 месяцев назад

Oh man, I did this one back in 2017 in pretty bad weather conditions. Now I can finally enjoy the views!

@llvg4229 4 месяца назад

Hey Kraig! I have been watching your videos for a while now, very inspiring. Although I have been stuck stateside (as amazing as it is), I did have the opportunity to go to New Zealand in December. I did not get to do many of the "great walks" so I am enjoying watching your series, but I still did a fair amount of hiking and sightseeing. Watching these videos shows me a side of New Zealand I might have missed, but also brings back the wonderful memories I did get to experience. Keep doing what you do, keep doing what you love. :) (P.S. I did get to see the pukeko statue, lol)

@callmedani5061 5 месяцев назад

I hiked it too! One of the best hikes in New Zealand for sure :)

@lukutusnz 5 месяцев назад

Beaut!!! Nice video Kraig, good to see you showing some of what New Zealand has to offer. The Milford Track is epic if you get a chance! And if you venture back through the North Island, do the Tongariro Northern Circuit (Tongariro National Park) two dayish hike - you wont be disappointed ;)

@thepeacerunners 5 месяцев назад

Wow beautiful...I believe and I could be wrong but...a nice part of hiking in New Zealand is that I don't think they have any predatory animals that you have to be aware of like bears, mountain lions, coyotes or wolfs..just the weather to keep an eye on, so you can relax a little more and just enjoy the amazing scenery that you did a great job, as usual, of capturing...you are the best out there...tremendous

Hi Kraig, after watching your West Highland Way video, I did it myself and also filmed and uploaded it to my channel! Mine was much more of a disaster haha, but I loved it and somehow completed it 😄 It was my first time camping too Cheers, I'll have to do this hike it looked stunning!

New Zealand is what people think Scotland is. I was fecking blown away when I went. Paradise.

@NLCatwizard 5 месяцев назад

I did this in 2016, heavy rain on the 1st day, everybody was soaked and have to dry their clothes in the hut. But when we passed through the clouds, I'm sure it is one of the most memorable experience in my life.

@sudhirparajuli 5 месяцев назад

I am such a fan of you adam I usually make lot of videos myself while trekking but I guess I’m gonna make this type of video now.. cause I absolutely love all of your video❤ also as A Nepali I appreciate the mention of DalBhat hahahaha❤

Ugh, mad at myself for not doing this one while I was there. I did a bunch though: routeburn, northern crossing (includes tongariro), a little bit of abel tasman. Want to go back for Kepler and Heaphy. Maybe Taranaki.

Taking on the Kepler Track in NZ is like playing a real-life game of 'The Floor is Lava'-except the floor is nature, and it's stunning! 😂🌿 Loved your hike footage! By the way, I've got a RU-vid channel dedicated to hiking adventures too. Let's swap stories and trail tips sometime! Keep trekkin'!

Listened to your podcast. If I heard you right you are going to Las Vegas. I happen to know a Serbian guy who has been living there for a few years who is true expert hiker and backpacker. Few people know Vegas is surrounded by beautiful mountains and has a lot of great hiking. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with him.

Hi Kraig, new subscriber here. Cricky, I posted a Kepler video three days ago and got 230+ views, you post one and get 37K+. Help another creator out please, if thumbnails and titles generate the impression - click-through rate, what could I do better? (yes I'm a minnow in comparison but is there more)?
