The Exclusive on Maungatautari - Over the Mountain

Maungatautari Mountain - Sanctuary Mountain Maugatautari - Ecological Island This Waikato must-do Maunga has many names. Outdoorsman Dave takes a camera-shy, complete stranger on Maungatatautari’s Over the Mountain Track. We are immersed in birdsong (See below, the best I’ve ever experienced) in what was sometimes challenging but always beautiful native bush. An off-track adventure goes badly, resulting in abandoning the mission and a slow and painful hike. A visit to A&E that night revealed it was a fractured ankle. Will Dave capture the most elusive creature on camera on Sanctuary Mountain, his mysterious friend…Willie?
What was that bird?

Very cool video all the excitement and all. Willie definitely not slow because he's under cooked ...I'm so proud of him walking out with a fractured ankle.❤

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

Thanks Anita, it’s a hard one, personally I would have appreciated knowing what level of pain he was in so we could consider all options if need be like taking the easier Wairere track or make up a splint to transfer the weight to it rather than onto his ankle etc. Suspect he didn’t want to seem a burden but yes, he was certainly a good sport and is one tough cookie, we didn’t know (to the point of him driving the car home) that it was actually a fracture. He was wearing his glasses at the off track creek crossing but I literally don’t have any facial shots after that to know when he actually lost them. I’m sure you make a good nurse, take good care of him, all my love, Dave 🙏

Seeing and hearing what is out there is what it's all about. That is one of the reasons I go alone so often. A complete kit for self care is so important. My kit has had the cooperation of my physician so I have everything covered. An interesting track you followed and I'm glad your friend managed to get out. Not an easy task with injury! Thanks Dave!

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

Thanks, you have just reminded me I need to go and put a pencil in my safety kit as so often I get to huts and there’s no pen to write hike intentions in the book, it’s something we do here in New Zealand.

@bigsky2081 Месяц назад

@@OutdoorsmanDave We do it in our huts as well but the days of calling and getting into a hut are over. Nowadays it is pretty much a drawing to get into huts. That is why I pull a sled and have a tent with a wood stove. It used to be like NZ prices but now it's like a 5 star hotel. At least from my point of view but then what do I know.🤣

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

It’s getting a bit like that here on popular tracks, hence my preference to go to more remote areas.

Thank u so much, loved this, shame Wiremu (not sure i got his name right?) he is shy tamariki o te whenua, & then out of the blue comes this young pakeha woman in a black singlet bursting with energy ... cannot b scripted ... this deserves tobe seen worldwide

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

Very astute of you to pick up the irony of that 👏👏👏

@waterbourne9282 Месяц назад

Funny. I had this one on my list for a while and nearly did it just before your vid came out. Did it on a blue sky day today but kind of in reverse- started at Hicks Road (parking is at the Marae rather than the road end where it used to be and where Willie was picked up), up to Maungatautiri and Pukeatua for cooked lunch via the Te Raki, and back down the Wairere quad bike track. Large frost patch at the summit of Pukeatua- doesn't look like it ever gets the sun at the moment, and a constant climb on the Wairere until the saddle and then constant descent down to the fence. For anyone who is interested, the section from Maungautiri summit to Pukeatua and then back down to the Wairere quad bike track is steep and rooted and will keep people on their toes and for me was around 5.5hrs walking time and 15.8km with 900m total ascent. A fun day out, thanks for posting. Btw, that was a Saddleback- the old rusty steel wheeled squeaky wheelbarrow wheel bird. Heaps of them up there.

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

Thanks for report back, sounds like you enjoyed it as much as we. What did you think of the birdsong?

@waterbourne9282 Месяц назад

@@OutdoorsmanDave Certainly plenty of birds up there. One saddleback squawked at me so close it hurt my ears.

@craigmontgomerie4753 Месяц назад

Thanks for visiting my work Dave. Your bird ID could do with some work lol. The bird you thought was a kaka was a tieke (saddleback). The the birds you thought we Robin's were popokatea (white head). Perhaps some time I could take you to see the real maungatautari

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

Thanks Craig - So let’s use your knowledge to teach others! I’ll add the bird IDs into the video description. Craig or others, Please ID the bird at each of the following video points. 3:56 6:30 8:48 12:06 12:44 16:20

@OutdoorsmanDave lol how world 🌎 changed 🤣 the hicks parents be in their late 70s now I don't know if James son ever took on family farm. Nice spot up there I live 2 hours south Perth now

@justinewinter6639 Месяц назад

Hi Dave, at around the 12 min mark, that is a Saddleback or Tieke, they have a really distinctive call.

@justinewinter6639 Месяц назад

Also, with the markers, there's a lot of pest monitoring lines/tracks. I go with my Dad every now and then to put out or collect pest monitoring cards to check what's going on. The track we do is about a 5 hour trek, lots of bushbashing involved. And the birdlife is fantastic.

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

Yes, a saddleback, black belly, orange saddle, thanks for that I just couldn’t think of it at the time.

@OutdoorsmanDave Месяц назад

It’ll dm you about something

@anitalewis6491 Месяц назад

Yup saddleback and with the kokako the only two native wattle birds left in NZ. The 3rd wattlebird native to NZ was the huia which was hunted to extinction by Buller.

Actually can you dm me via my instagram outdoorsman_dave as I can’t seem to activate your link 🙏

Great video mate. Me mum and the dog did part of Hauraki Rail Trail through the K gorge today, beautiful day to be out in nature.

Nice, Did you do the tunnel or windows walk?

@lesballard9959 Месяц назад

@OutdoorsmanDave we walked along the river from the one lane bridge to the train station and back. The ole girl has a hip injury she's getting over so a flat short in walk in the sun to see how she went. Tomorrow we going around Kainui Lake flat but a bit longer see how she goes.

Interested, are you knowledgeable in the ways of fungi, birds & plants to guide and help me make an educational story from a walk around? Your name is?
