I don't know how many times I've driven/ridden past the Falls carpark and thought "I must do the Brewster track". But I never did and now never will. Great video, as usual!
Embarrassingly enough, we didn't even realise there was a glacier nearby 😑. The weather was probably too poor to go find it regardless, but after we found out we really wanted to make another trip, but the timing never lined up
Holy elevation! Despite the ordinary weather you’ve made (yet another) beautiful record of the walk. Amazing scenery once again. Thanks so much for continuing to share your walks-we love them!
Thank you for continuing to watch them Alan! Really appreciate the continued support When everyone got to the hut, they said: "Did everyone else find that a lot harder than they thought it would be?" 😅 Can't underestimate that 2.5 km!
Thank you! 🙏 We always use a GoPro as a secondary camera, it's useful for the walking shots, talking to the camera and when it's really wet out. The main camera we used in this video was Panasonic G9 with 12-60 f2.8-4 lens. We've since upgraded to the Panasonic GH6
Hopefully you get the chance this weekend! Mountains are looking great with the fresh dump of snow last weekend :) We're hoping to do some winter camping this winter as well
Loved this video! Heading to Brewster Hut this week. Was inspired to check out some more of your videos to get ideas for trips and filming inspiration for our own channel!. Hope to go on adventure here with you guys someday in our beautiful backyard! 🇳🇿
Brewster Hut was great! Would have been great to be there with good weather so we could check out the glacier, but we'll just have to go back one day 😅. Good luck with the YT grind; get those views! 💪
@@ChrisandDanya cheers mate! Weather looks good today, bit of wind but nice and clear you might have to check out our channel to see the Glacier 😜.. all the best, keep making good videos!
I used to live in Haast so have been to the old and new Brewster Hut many times. You missed out on the full view and seeing Tititea but it means you just might have to go back there.
We're heading to Haast in October for the long weekend, can you recommend any good tramps/walks in the area? We'll be doing Welcome Flat Hut a few weekends before
Thank you for watching Matthew! 🙏 We don't have pockets on our hip belts, so we find the waist bags are really useful. Even if we did have hip belt pockets, I think we'd still use the waist bags, as they fit so much more. The brand is Waymark Gear Co, a cottage company from the USA. However, you can definitely find something locally for much cheaper with similar build quality/size
We did this in mid December 2021. I think it'll be fine in late November. The area is known for how much rain it gets, so the chances of getting wet are high. Hopefully you get good weather and have the chance to explore the actual glacier! One of the only regrets we have of our time in NZ, is not going back and exploring that glacier
@@ChrisandDanya thank you! Hopefully we will be able to explore the glacier, we’ll see how much time we have. Definitely need two days for Milford Sound.
I think you definitely could! It's very steep but you are only going a short distance. Definitely worth staying at the hut and exploring the glacier though! Wish we did that when we were there
We've been doing as many hikes as we can, but we didn't make it out to Jackson Bay unfortunately. We did all the trails in Fox Glacier and now we're in Franz Joseph area for a couple weeks

Wow, so beautiful. Brings back memories of hiking in the rain in NZ. Thanks for sharing.
Love hiking in the fog, even if it obscures the views! Thanks for watching Angelica
Great video guys. Captured serenity and beauty so we’ll. 👏🏽
Thank you Megan 🙏❤️
Great post - captured the forest’s beautiful fabric and colour perfectly. Could you share what camera gear you are using. Thks
Thank you! 🙏

Great video moose , beautiful views , looking forward to more
Cheers Jono. You come from a beautiful country!
Very nice video. We are trying to get there next weekend for some winter camping for a couple of nights.

Stunning! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for watching Tammy! 🙏❤️

Glad you had a good time. We'll check it out for sure!

Don't make.me do that climb again 😓 haha
Will definitely have to go back!

Love the videos. Noticed Danya has been using the waist bag for a while now. Was wondering what the brand was and how well it works?
Thank you for watching Matthew! 🙏

2:35 😂😂 Bit of a bummer with the rain but can’t always snag the good weather! Ripper vid as always
Cheers buddy, really appreciate the support!
We love hiking in the fog, but the forecast said blue skies, so was a bit bummed out haha
Omg just breathtaking views too bad it's a bit foggy but nevertheless amazing trail.
We love hiking in the fog, but we were expecting blue skies haha. The fog/clouds made it all very dramatic though!
what time of the year was that? We will be hiking this in Late November, would that be a good time?

@mariawasnick5472 if I think of anything closer I'll let you know
Do you think you could’ve gone up and back in a day
I think you definitely could! It's very steep but you are only going a short distance. Definitely worth staying at the hut and exploring the glacier though! Wish we did that when we were there
NZ forests always look their best in the rain.
Agreed! We're on the West Coast now and the forest here is so lush and vibrant!
@@ChrisandDanya Because it always rains!! Have you explored the many remote tracks and walks? I enjoyed the Jackson Bay area.
We've been doing as many hikes as we can, but we didn't make it out to Jackson Bay unfortunately.
We did all the trails in Fox Glacier and now we're in Franz Joseph area for a couple weeks
I love watching adults experiences with these tramps knowing I did this when I was 11 😅
New Zealanders are a different breed!
@@ChrisandDanya Haha! my friend did the Abel Tasman when she was 4! Also I’ve done Cameron valley which was 7 hours long!
@islabrown1129 that all sounds lovely 😊
