5:21 in responding to your favourite trees.
My plant and tree knowledge isn't the greatest (which is embarrassing since I'm a Kiwi!) but those a beech trees, and I think they are specifically called Silver Beech.
Silver beech are native to NZ and found in the Longwood forest area and southland (which is where you are currently). They are very pretty trees!

Ah thanks! That looks correct.

Love your videos and commentary. You’re enjoying life.

[@joankline343]

Interesting and beautiful hike. ❤ Thanks for sharing

[@wanderingwithbob2472]

A little bit of Vermont, Maine and Florida trail all dumped into a few hours. Beautiful landscape. Always fun to watch you two hiking.

I have about a two month window from late feb-end April, toying with the idea to either hike nobo South Island or nobo north island (and meet up with fam on north island who will be there at that time)…..I see your videos posted in January but curious when yall started? bc it seems so cold already (unless you were at the beginning of the season). Love me some cold weather hiking but just trying to make good decisions 😅 thanks for all your videos!

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Going nobo south island in that time frame would work well!

[@mattfinch3895]

Amazing flora.

[@ihikeporkies]

[@dangaspar1707]

Awesome to see you back on the trail (on another bucket list trail, no less!).

[@QuadzillaHikes]

[@delvecks3921]

[@QuadzillaHikes]

Thanks for watching!

[@lulububs]

Few questions. Would the cheap tent and bag you got for your $1k AT videos you are doing now hold up to Nz? I'm a kiwi and I live tramping and camping but I don't back pack. I'm looking into it. Doing point Elizabeth this Arvo with my mum.

[@QuadzillaHikes]

I have heard of the TA but I've never seen any videos from it. It looks very adventurous. And muddy.
Have fun! 😁

[@QuadzillaHikes]
