Fantastic vid guys. I’m hiking the Paparoa Track soon and this was super helpful!

@ChrisandDanya 4 месяца назад

Enjoy! Hope you get better weather across the ridge 😅

That was the first time I've seen you demoralized. I'm glad conditions improved. Beautiful views. My compliments on the musical scores. I typically prefer the ambient sound for footage like yours, but these were complimentary to the scenes; very pleasant additions. Great choices. Thank you for the memory. I lucked out with a nice, sunny day for the part of this one I did. Wonderful video.......again. Thank you for sharing.

@ChrisandDanya 8 месяцев назад

We were pretty demoralized on that first day to be honest! We were really looking forward to this tramp, specifically that first day across the ridge and the weather was pretty brutal. We thought we might have to turn around and head back, but luckily the wind calmed down a bit and we could safely cross. The next day was beautiful with the fog through the forest and spirits were back up 😁 NZ Mountain Safety Council contacted us recently to use some of our footage crossing the ridge in bad weather, so it was worth it! 😅 Thanks again for your kind words John!

Love it!!! by far one of my favourite places on earth cant get enough of the incredible Paparoa National Park!!

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

Would love to bike it some day! Besides the climb up to Ces Clark, the rest of the track would have been a lot of fun on a bike! Was great walking it too though 😊 Would love to paddle the river at the end as well, but we didn't have time unfortunately

New subscriber, my first time to watch and now really enjoying the view. Lovely scenery and great shots. Its like watching those movies shot in NZ but much more beautiful sights.

In nature seeing the change of weather is always special, every cloud/fog changes anything and shape.. the forest is beautiful 😊👍💪

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

We spent a good 2 hours walking through that forest on the morning of the 2nd day

@sal8527 Год назад

Ngl it was worrying seeing you on that ridge line in the wind!!

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

We're pretty careful. If it wasn't safe we would have 100% turned around. I think it looked worse in the video

@MelmacAlienLifeForm Год назад

Classic NZ most of the year regardless of the area. Wet, cold, mouldy and miserable. West Coast is just a place you cannot find a sunny day to shoot a welcome to NZ video as in Auckland or Napier. Greenery comes at the price.

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

We definitely got lucky during our 2 month trip up the West Coast. Besides this trip, it mostly rained during the week while we were working and then the weekends were mostly sunny. It's definitely a different part of the country that's for sure! Especially compared to the East Coast

@janakotrcova2790 Год назад

The weather is always unpredictible but everyone has their own charm,thank you for sharing and congratulations to another succesful ,challenging route.

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

Thank you for watching! ❤🙏

@falvz4197 Год назад

Did you find it all the more rewarding after the suffering?! The woodland shot alone was epic. Where are you now, Perth? You should seriously get in touch with Tourism Australia. Your cinematography is some of the best on RU-vid and way better than some hikers with 200k+ subscribers. One day… !

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

Thank you for your kind words, it means so much to us ❤☺🙏 We spent a couple 2-3 hours walking through that forest on the morning of the 2nd day, it was so beautiful. We're moving back to Perth this week and will be there for about a year, before we move back to Canada for a few years. Still got a good years worth of videos from New Zealand to get through 😅

@epesampaga9894 Год назад

Wow so beautiful place

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

Video doesn't so it justice!

@shinji112 Год назад

Gee.. you're keen to go out in that weather but I guess that's just part of the game in the West Coast. Really loved how you captured the rain forest at 7:00 👌

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

The forecast for the first day didn't look that bad, but it ended up being a lot worse; classic New Zealand 😅. We seriously considered staying at Ces Clark hut and then turning around the next day. Luckily we soldiered on and the weather gods were nice to us

This is amazing my friend, absolutely stunning scenery! Shots and music are phenomenal!

Thank you Ervin🙏❤️😊 Great to hear from you again!

@OutdoorsmanDave Год назад

Beautifully presented, great audio quality in the wind, what are you using to achieve that, please?

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

Thanks Dave! 🙏 I've got a wind sock/buff that wraps around my GoPro and then I make sure to face away from the wind 😅 There's also a voice isolation feature in Davinci Resolve 18 that helps a lot

@alanbrassil5074 Год назад

Well done team! A hard day in the office though I'm sure the experience & end product was worth it. Echoing an earlier comment, your footage is always high quality - think you have a great eye. Once again, thanks for sharing...we love your output.

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

Thank you as always Alan. Great to hear from you again! ☺

@pgoldsbury Год назад

Can you please advise how you attach your DSLR camera to your pack strap. Enjoyed your trip. Thanks

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

I use a Peak Design Capture Clip, but it's probably one of the more expensive models now. There's some other companies that make cheaper versions now

@robbaskerville253 Год назад

Great video. I was thinking of doing Old Ghost Road, but now I think this might be better.

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

By all accounts, the Old Ghost Road is supposed to be absolutely stunning, but definitely more of a challenge. One of our only regrets for our time in NZ is that we didn't carve time out to do it. Regardless of what you choose, you won't be disappointed!

@sal8527 Год назад

Noticed the stinging nettles warning. No joke you wanna stay away from those. I slipped once in the Tararuas and grabbed a branch to catch myself - a branch covered in them. The initial pain like electric shocks was intense and lasted so long. Then the arm swelled and began to ache and for the next two days it was like I had the flu. So awful, from just contact with my palm and fingers!

@ChrisandDanya Год назад

Thanks for the warning! We had never seen it before, but people have told us how bad it is. Doesn't sound like a good time. Glad you are alright!

@sal8527 Год назад

Oh yeah it’s bad. Has killed a few people who, stumbling home drunk from the pubs, stumbled into a nest of it and got entangled. Can even kill horses! Serious neurotoxin. But on the bright side there’s a Uni in Oz looking into using it for a new class of painkillers so …. Maybe good stuff after all!

@NicolasJaegergaard 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely amazing video! What do you recommend to do, if the car is parked in one end? Just getting a cap when done? :-D Thanks for all the great videos.

@ChrisandDanya 11 месяцев назад

Her Nicholas, thanks for watching! 😁 We generally prefer to hike to our car so it's there when we finish. In this case there is a transport company that operates from Punakaiki. You can drive out there on the morning, leave your car and get transport back to the start of the track
