Hello 👋 again my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California US. I just came across your channel this evening. I like the content of your videos. Such a beautiful country. 😮 Always stay safe out there 🏕️.
That looked like such a chill adventure! Camping under the stars with no shelter must of been an amazing experience, especially with those clear skies. The ridgelines and Jordan stream looked beautiful too. What a stuning adventure 😍
There's nothing refreshing like some cowboy camping and a fire. I also thought you where driving on the wrong side of the rode for a quick second in the beginning of the video. Cheers
Thanks Andy! Yeah it's a great reset! Haha yeah we drive on the left in NZ! I've been driving on the right recently and it even caught me out when I was editing it lol. Cheers mate!
Nice to See you back home Zeb! 😝👊🌏🌏🌏🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥝🥝🥝🏕🏕🏕 Finally Good Weather. Million Dollar Views! 👀👀👀💰💰💰😎🤘 Great Camera Work and Editing Brother. Hope you had a good Holiday up in the Northern Hemisphere. 😊👍 Really cool seeing the Kea.👌
Back in familiar surroundings mate must make you feel better knowing you'll conquer it this time. Always a pleasure to watch your adventures. Bushyboy Oz
I love New Zealand, can't wait to be back there in October/November. I love watching your videos as I am unable to hike nowadays so enjoy watching places I know I can never get to myself.
Gidday bro that was epic, any advive for a noob about to walk around the country. Ive seen so many amazing videos from people now that its got me all geared up ready to accept the challenge lol. Have an amazing rest of your week. The scenery was absolutely stunning
Hey bro! So awesome! Are you planning to walk around the country or the length? If it's the length then check out the Te Araroa website. If it's around, then check out the book "wildboy" by Brando Yelavich. Cheers!
@@BackcountryKiwi Hi yeah all around, Im thinking of doing parts of the TA if it's in areas I am otherwise ill just be heading anywhere and everywhere, Thanks for that ill check it out :)
@@WollemiAdventures that's awesome to hear! A couple of months would have given you a great taste! Hopefully you can come back for more at some point! Cheers!
I can remember that video and being just abit worried, did it play on your mind abit and it’s why you went back? Awesome spot by the river to camp, would have been a fab evening by the fire. Thanks for sharing - cheers!
@@tleej26 thanks TJ! Yeah I wanted to get back to the area to redeem myself a little and complete my intended loop. It turned out to be an awesome adventure! Cheers!
This and you’re kit load out video have defo inspired me to put together and ultralight fast packing kit together. Will be next summer now as in uk but I just love the idea of this kind of camping. Just won’t move as fast as you, as I’m 62 and not as fit as I once was 😅
Hi Pete! Um I have always just used Garmin's plans. I think track me NZ offer some plans but I don't know what is better sorry. It's a super handy device though! Cheers.
I feel like I know your current shoes just from the videos. RIP Altra Lone Peak 6s. You have done good work. Please dont throw them away. Put them on display somewhere. Proudly.
@@_Caffeine_1 Hi! Thanks for your comment. If I'm going light I normally use The North Face future light lightriser rain jacket but I also use a Patagonia torrentshell a lot. I rarely use rain pants but I have a pair of Outdoor Research Apollo rain pants. Thanks!
Hope got tent or something keep rain off you because NZ BUSH no place be without Shelter. I no I live here in Southland and weather turn shit in a hour or less
Hi Jim. I have also lived in the south island and I have done this style of camping many times. I always carry some sort of shelter. On this trip I had my tarp with me and could have easily set it up if it had started to rain. Cheers.

Thank you very much! I always try to be safe!

Nice clean up of the site once you had packed up 🎉
Thank you! I always try to leave no trace or as minimal trace as possible.
Cheers!
Wonderful, it seems very easy and nice to do wild camping. Amazing fire! Really cool
Thanks Janett!!!
I love your "leave no trace" actions with the fireplace.
Thank you! I always try to practice leave no trace principles. It's more work but it leaves it in a more natural state for the next person
Amazing for your video of Solo Camping with No Shelter in New Zealand Bush. I love your video. Thanks for sharing.🥰

Hey mate, just wondering what brand pot you’re using there? Looks great that it can fit a gas and your cooker inside!
Hey Josh! It's a titanium 750ml pot from barrettoutdoorsnz.com
They've got heaps of cool titanium cookware available!
Cheers!
@@BackcountryKiwi thanks heaps!
what rain jacket/pants do you take that are light weight?
@@_Caffeine_1 Hi! Thanks for your comment. If I'm going light I normally use The North Face future light lightriser rain jacket but I also use a Patagonia torrentshell a lot. I rarely use rain pants but I have a pair of Outdoor Research Apollo rain pants.
Thanks!
@@BackcountryKiwi do your shorts dry quickly or does the jacket cover right below your knees
What a picturesque setting, perfect spot for a campsite. 😊 Are there any predators in your area, bears 🐻, mountain lions, coyotes?
Which temp rating one planet cocoon sleeping bag do you have?
Hi Murray. This is the one planet cocoon minus 8. Great bag!
Cheers
What is that stuff called you use as a ground sheet Zeb?
@@jasonedwardledburynewzeala9897 hey Jason! It's polycryo!
