I'm really enjoying your hut tours! I live in Hawkes Bay so it's awesome to see detailed information about local huts. I can't wait to get up there one day and explore myself :)
Hey, the jet boil style set I use in this video is pretty good, but I prefer my regular pot set and separate stove because it's generally smaller and I can use it on the bigger stoves in huts that have them
@@LostKiwi thanks for the reply, i just brought (one like your older style) and since I watching through more of your videos noticed you use the older one
Hey mate, there's one part in particular where the road is steep and the gravel is soft and deep. I made it up in a regular car but had to get a good run up to make it past this section. So yeah you should be sweet on a fine day, just be prepared to reverse back if you need a faster run up.
I've been up there twice in a Ford Focus and it made it ok. Like Lost Kiwi said, there's one steep bit and I did end up helping some people stuck in it in a Mondeo. I had second gear and plenty of revs and kept off the bank on the left and made it with enough confidence that I could make it again. Every time I've been, there have been regular cars in the carparks. You'll be fine.
Wow what a great video. Really good information to have for our trip

So with the road a 4wd is needed or would a car get up there on a fine day

Did you fish the river? Looking for a hut I could do a tramp and fish
I don't fish but the tukituki river is pretty good for trout and I saw a few in the pools about a month ago
@@LostKiwi thanks - have fished the Ngaruroro and Taruarau, looking for other options. Good videos btw
Very informative, though Urbex was cutting edge.
