The three passes is a multi day hike through New Zealand's Southern Alps. The track takes you through three alpine passes to navigate through the mountain range from coast to coast.
In this video I guide you through the route whilst exploring the area myself. Watch along as I hunt my way through this epic mountainous terrain to meet a friend on his coast to coast packrafting adventure.

Halfway through watching - looks like an epically awesome trip! When you first clipped the Thar I thought "Cracker shot, dropped on the spot!" Then blow me, the tough old boy gets up again! Bitter sweet that they need to be controlled but for the best, especially as that old guy probably wasn't leading the happiest life, wandering around half blind, alone and miles and miles from any like company - so good job for taking him.

I was surprised when he got up as well! Probably wasn't going far but thought it'd be best to put another one in him. He wasn't in great nick, not sure if he would've lasted the winter!

Man you guys are so good at putting your stories together with all supported imagery and humour to keep things light as you share your heart felt connection with these amazing places and take animals in a conscious, respectful and sustainably minded manner to eat and fuel your adventures… absolutely epic stuff boys! I hope that your channel keeps growing and gives you the opportunity to keep sharing your adventures as well as hopefully enabling you all to get out there more often 🙌🤙

I ran into you guys December last year at Casey Hut up the Poulter Valley! You guys turned up at midnight preparing to go up to Ranger Biv! I still remember the broccoli, onion, steak etc. you guys starting cooking for a midnight feast. Me and my English mate were staying the night at Casey Hut after coming back from Lake Minchin having caught a trout for lunch! I remember being inspired by you guys and would tell people about "Mitch and Mitchell". A Mate of mine told me you guys have a youtube show! Great videos! Keep up the awesome adventures! Might run into you guys again at midnight at some other hut in the future!

@roberttoth9962 2 года назад
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 Glad to hear you guys still remember us! I was still awake when you guys turned up, but I've passed on the apology to my English mate and he has humbly accepted haha. He was most impressed with you guys and will send a great report to Her Majesty about your exploits. He looks forward to perhaps your skill and expertise becoming helpful on a future mission lol. Sorry to hear you didn't have luck with a trout at Lake Minchin. I've been their 4 times and their was once I didn't get a bite, the other 3 times was great success fishing. Check out John Spragg RU-vid channel, he has been going up fishing to Lake Minchin for years. These days he uses an electric mountain bike to make quick headway up the poulter valley.

At 9.25 there's the South Island Edelweiss. A close up of this wuld be great to show off next time you encounter them. There are lots around Arthurs Pass and it's a pretty iconic allpine species to froth over. Also Mt Cook Buttercup is there.

The logistics of filming yourself hunting are enough of a pain in the ass, but to do it while sending some proper vert is next level stuff. Awesome video, makes me want to get back out there!! FYI the alternate route up the Styx to harman hut isn't too bad, but the info on the doc page is pretty crap ;) If you ever get back up in the browning pass area you should think about going on up the Taipo so you can enjoy the hot pools :) but I'm sure you know your backcountry spots better than I do!

Loved the Video. I have been to most of those places and it bought back great memories - especially on a shitty winters day here in Christchurch. What drone did you use? - and how did you recharge the batteries for that and the go pro? - was it just from the solar panel I saw at one stage? - I wonder what you pack weighed??

The fact that the presence of the Tahr would have made DOC unhappy was all the reason you'd needed to leave it alone. DOC are not your friends. DOC will throw you and every other hunter under a bus at the first opportunity.
@southislandriflewalkers5545
@southislandriflewalkers5545 2 года назад
Completely understand your point mate, and it's pretty well validated. But if the tahr culls have proven anything it's that they're in charge when push comes to shove. We're going to have to find a more collaborative way of managing our game species, the lake Sumner deer control operation is a fantastic example. Hunter led conservation that benefits everyone involved 👍
