@@OutdoorsmanDave I do indeed, fairly often. I probably had 200 videos of trips similar to your's, but I removed most of them, as the video and audio quality was poor, or they had copyrighted content (from back before YT started enforcing this stuff). The nice thing is that I have a huge content library to pull from, and can make short videos quickly / easily using that material.
I was there 12 years ago and yesterday. Going up from the 'junction' on the N/S track a bearing of 320* will get you up a vague track to the hut. Coming back down there are plenty of markers, usually jam jar lids.
@@OutdoorsmanDave We camped at Te Whare Okioki last summer and visited the falls from the base. I'm itching to get back to the falls, hike up and camp somewhere at the top. Dreams of the summer to come. 😉
😂 cool video mate……
“Outdoor disco Dave” has a nice ring to it!
Hi Greg, Disco Dave does has a ring but actually it’s more Pop. Pop Muzik by M was big in my day around the late 1970s. It still gets me bopping 😀
Cool trip. Looked like a lot of fun. Water fall was nice to see
Thanks Abel, we have a few redeeming features in middle earth, not like them incredible mountains you have though in Mordor 🏔
Very rustic! That's a very robust looking stove btw. Great video Mr Dave.
Hey Josh, yeah, I thought you'd like that stove, thanks for stopping by again. Do you stay at backcountry huts yourself much?

@@JoshuaJohnsonOutdoors interesting
Thanks for the video Dave, keep them coming
You’re most welcome, the fifth and final is calendared.
Nice one! Loved the backcountry disco.
Backcountry disco 🤣 love it.
Wicked Dave!!
Thanks for the vid
Sorry it that Wicked Dave as in good stuff or Wicked Dave in terms of naughty boy 😂
Haha, good stuff Dave of course!
Love that track, it's been years since I've done it
Yes, the falls are stunning, thanks for watching

It’s still there but you do need to ask permission, markers have been removed intentionally I suspect
Great stuff, that toilet seen some tough times.
Yeah, it was crap 💩 the smell hit you on opening the door. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video! That hut looks mission, the late night tunes scene was a laugh.
~churr
Thanks for being the first to watch and comment, yes we had a great time. Only one more hut to go.
Hmmm you guys had too much to drink? 🤣 Love the waterfall. Really nice scenery.
Barry, I’m constantly hydrating when on hikes 😉
Great vid Dave.
Thanks Jarrod, will you likely visit any of these huts or falls yourself?

Send me a FB invite to outdoorsman dave and stay in touch, I’ll be up that way again this year.
Thanks, I’m guessing the falls aren’t your normal gentle video.
Cool
Thanks Dave.
@@OutdoorsmanDave My pleasure
We finally found it, this was our third attempt so there's a good reason to celebrate & justify the hut antics 😆
Hey outdoorsmanDave have you thought about doing a video on the mysterious kaimanawa wall?
Yes, but it’s been done recently and not everyone encourages freedom of speech. If you would DM me your views or intel on it, I’ll build a case 🤝
Cool stuff and a cool hut! Surely you’ve visited every one in the Kaimai’s?
All but one, some visited but not recorded, though there are a few more hunters huts yet to uncover.
Is that hut haunted? Ghosts changing stations in the night. Spooky! Great video, looked like fun.
Gosh that never crossed my mind 😱 Yeah it was a fun night 🥃
If not a can crusher, maybe some sorta medieval torture device?
Yeah, for those trampers without permission, caught by the hunters 😱
If the water is low enough at wairere falls you can cross over and sit on ledge at the edge of the waterfall if your daring enough
It was discussed, but then again, it might’ve been the last discussion had 😂
As a moka pot fan, I’ve never tried taking one hiking with me but seen others do it. Wondering what I can sacrifice weight-wise to make one viable.
Perk coffee is the best, wait and see what new wee gem I’ll use to make the perfect short black. Be sure to hit that flag now.
Smashed it for ya
How can you stay so skinny while eating that much porridge ? That was enough to feed a tribe of kids. 👍
Flattery, will get you everywhere Simon.
Truth is, I don’t eat a lot during the day on hikes, so a big carbs breakfast sustains me.
