You did a great job. Its one of the nicest huts that Ive been to. Thanks for watching.

I have had them for over 20 years. The brand is UCO and they are their Candle Lanterns. If you're in NZ try: www.gearshop.co.nz/products/uco-original-candle-lantern. Thanks for watching.

@@OAPAdventures Thanks very much, appreciate the link. 👍👍

I should have read the map a little better, rather than just follow the GPS. Thanks for watching.

I agree about the wind sheild, or lack of one. Its OK indoors, but thats it. I carry a small windshield for outside. Thanks for watching.

I havent had any issue with soot etc, but I dilute the meths by 10% and this seems to work OK. The sauce pans are the same as the 25 set, so no problems them either. Thanks for watching.

@@OAPAdventures Thank you. I am interested to know if the bottom of the sauce pans are smooth or milled, rather than the sootiness of the pot. You mentioned that they were like the 25 kit. It was my understanding that all Tundra bases are milled, so they won’t slide off the burner.

@@denisehorton8468 The fry pan in the Tundra set is milled and sits well with no slippage. The sauce pans (and the fry pans in the 25 & 27 sets) are smooth bottomed.

@@OAPAdventures Are the sauce pans in your Tundra 3 kit milled bases, or are they smooth? JUST ASLING ABOUT THE SAUCEPANS.

ASKING

Thats great. I also have both the 25 and 27 and they work well depending on how much food I need to cook. Thanks for watching, its appreciated.

Cheers for the encouragement, and thanks for watching. Its appreciated.

Tastes as good as it looks! Thanks for watching, its much appreciated.

Sunny? Im jealous. Its mid-winter here and temps are down to 12 - 14 Deg C. A cooked brekkie is just the thing at this time of the year. Thanks for watching, it is appreciated.

No, I havent. I didnt know there was any. I been to the old mine, but access is pretty difficult. If you know more about the locations, GPS cords etc, I'd love to find out more.

@@OAPAdventures I have it marked on a old map will try and dig it out. Didn't know about the mine where is that

@@seanjarvie9737 I know there are tunnels dug that the watercare pipes went through, but I thought they were backfilled after the pipes were installed. The manganese mine was at the end of Mine Rd. There was another off Ernie's Track, but I never did find it.

It's a Trangia 27 cookset, made in Sweden. Plenty info on line. You'll see me using it in some of my other camping videos. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. How the French and English language was mixed to produce the words we use today is rather fascinating, especially as I am on the other side of the world. Thanks for watching.

I dont weigh my gear, so its a guess. Going from manufacturers specs, the pack, sleep pad, quilt and tent add up to around 5 kg. With all the other stuff, clothes, food, filter, billy, stove etc, I would think around 11 kg. The biggest variance for me is the amount of food I take. I have found that with a good pack harness a couple of kg's either way doesnt seem to make much difference for me.

Yes, there is a little room around the hut for tents, always depending on the size of the tent. It has been cut up a bit by the 4wd vehicles, but there is space. Thanks for watching.

@@OAPAdventures thank you very much

You are not wrong. I do mange a few more K's than normal to do the setups. But, who doesnt like stomping through mud? Thanks for watching.

Its a great tent. You wont regret it. Thanks for watching.

Its good to be out. Thanks for the good wishes.

Its a nice set. You wont regret the Trangia quality. Thanks for watching.

I agree with you about the Mini. It's far more versatile. The Micro is good for a cuppa or to heat water for a dehydrated meal, but not for cooking. Especially when you have an appetite like mine. I dilute with water, too. It works great. Thanks for watching.

I think the Pronto is perfect for me. Yes, I am a big Trangia fan, and I enjoy a good stew. You'll see I use Trangias in lots of my videos. Thanks for the watch, and the sub. Its much appreciated.

They are 2 very different products. Mini is a full cook set, Triangle is the burner and stand only, so will need pots, pans etc. It would depend on what you wanted to use them for, and what gear you currently have. I use them both, but in different situations. Thanks for watching.

No ice pack. Yes, sometimes I freeze and let it thaw and other times I will just pack it in the middle of the pack so its out of the heat. It was only 25 Deg C on this trip, so no real need to worry it spoiling during the walk. Thanks for watching.

I did show some route signage on later videos, but feedback wasn't positive. I guess its a personal preference kind of thing. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

Definitely a little different here. We dont have a brand called Heet, nor do we have a shop called Walmart. Thanks for watching.

@OAPAdventures It's for cars, available at nearly all auto parts stores too.

@@truneilson Thanks. I'll have a look.

Yep, I can see for miles and miles, as the song goes.

Thanks for the kind words. Im glad you like the set-up and the videos. Thanks for watching, it is appreciated.

We left them alone. They weren't doing us any harm.

Its fine in the wind. I use all the ropes and keep things tight. The awning is small and doesnt protect from the rain as much as I would like. I try to pitch the tent with the rear facing the wind/weather so the rain blows over the tent. If the rain is coming from one side of the tent, I will drop the awning on that side by reducing the height of the pole and zipping the awning further down the tent sides. You can see that in the thumbnail photo. Its not perfect, but it mostly works. In saying that, I have been out in very heavy rain and strong winds. However, there are better options for a Zempire tent if you are looking for an awning that fully covers the sides. Thanks for watching.

@@OAPAdventures Thanks so much for taking the trouble to reply - very much appreciated! One very last question. The fly also doesn't cover the sides either - any problems with water getting in there! Thank you!

@@richardlailey6142 Its a strange design with the windows and the tent sides etc and I was a little concerned. In practise, it does work. I have not had any leaks through the seems around the windows, or the walls, from the rain driving into the sides.

Yes, it's a very quiet spot. I don't think I've ever seen anyone else there. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Its VERY good to be out!!

There are a handful of designated places to camp and a couple of huts as well. Not as scenic as other places, but handy for me.

Thats OK about the cup. Im starting to think its too big, anyway. I only half fill it so should probably look at buying the smaller one. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Its great to finally be out again.

Looks like my knee is way worse than first thought. My big days in the hills might be over. I do remember some-one very knowledgeable in all matters of outdoor stuff saying that you are part pack horse, part mountain goat... 40ks in a day?? I was impressed. Happy to talk anytime, about anything.

@@OAPAdventures Neigh 🐴

Im definitely a Trangia fan-boy. I just can't see better in terms of price v function. But, I am biased. I'll check out Pack Gear Go, sounds like some good stuff. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. You, too.

Yep, a bad knee is not a good thing. As you say, everything comes at a price. I use a GoPro 11 and a GoPro Max for the invisible selfie style shots. Nothing fancy. Editing software is the free version of Da Vinci Resolve. Its a steep, but not difficult learning curve. I probably use about 20% of its capability. That laid back style is just me. Im always being told that Im not going to die of a heart attack!! Thanks for the compliment, and watching.

I probably over did the knee and Im paying for it now. Ahh, well. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy to be out!!!

Im glad you enjoyed it. Yep, things were a bit simpler back then, or maybe they just seemed to be? Thanks for watching.

I did a trip where I left home and it was 23 deg and sunny. First night was freezing with 12 hours of rain. Not forecasted! That's why I carry too much gear. Thanks for watching.

I did have some-one tell me that it would work, but when I tried it, didnt fit for me. Thanks for watching.
