Great video mate knew I recognized the place soon as I saw ya comimg into ngawi. Had an old mate who lived out there for a while, will never forget the adventures I had going out to see him there escaping the big city of Wellington. As you said that place and reality and almost disconnected and thats what I loved so much about it. Mean video bro mad love
Great video, love seeing the D1 out! For a bit more comfort I highly recommend getting a stretcher the right size to go under the swag. Makes pack up much easier too as you don’t get grass/mud or dew on the bottom of the swag
Cheers! Was awesome to actually use it vs just working on it. Good to know, might look into them. I did three weeks in it down south - added a mattress topper - and it was better. But could be better still. And good point about the dew, makes the stuff in the boot pretty wet 😂
yeh a stretcher makes a big difference you can put it anywhere. i got the mattress topper hahah i,m getting soft. I usually use a fly over the swag as well, probably no need. i need to head around to this camp site this summer........looks good. thnx for the vid
Darche have swags that setup on a camp stretcher, they are also a much more comfortable mattress in them, and a really good quality. should look into them if you dont like the idea of being on the ground
I spotted that they had one of those - it looks good. I ended up putting a mattress topper in this one before we did three weeks down south, worked super well, was far more comfortable. Though still on the ground… but in the middle of summer it was all good. Would love to get something bette - just have to find it second hand to fit into my ‘budget build’ 😅
Adding them whenever I get the chance to get down there and log more (or someone submits them) - it’s not a quick process. Quite a few have been added recently from our trip earlier this year though
Cheers! So good to get it out and about. They’re cheap 2.5” ones from Aliexpress. They’re… ok. Very cheap, but have lasted a few months so far - will see how they go. I do like how they look, was hard to find small ones
@OverlandNZTV I reckon! Ok cool thanks for that. I have been looking for something just like this for my D3, without much luck. Will take a look on Aliexpress. Cheers!
kewl vid. i found this spot randomly while exploring the other week such a kewl spot and waterfalls are u allowed to camp there or need permission? thought the sign on first gate says no camping?
Cheers mate! It’s amazing eh. Such a cool area. You can camp beyond the stream just before the campsite (if that makes sense) - between the first gate and that stream it’s private property to both sides of the route
It’s a pretty awesome spot eh! It’s defo in the app, is a pro track. If you hit the search button and search for ‘Palliser’ it’ll show up in there, tap it and it’ll take you to it 👍
