    Your little comments on annoyances are so reassuring for me. Like not liking the shark when you're diving, how bad putting on a wet wetsuit is, how you don't want to get in because its cold or how the water is rough and unenjoyable. Sounds strange but not many other youtubers talk about a lot of that stuff and its so nice to hear it from someone doing these types of missions because it makes me feel like I could do the same! Often these adventure channels dont talk about any fears or unpleasant things that happen! Amazing video series and I'll be tuned into the rest! subscribed too!

      Thanks Mark! Yeah couldn't have worked out better 😁. I took 100L, which turned out to be enough to make it round to the north coast of the island again, but I'd bought another 20L off some hunters in Port adventure since I knew I'd need a bit more 😂. So used about 105L, over about 450km 👌

    Wow, this mini-series is proving popular! You’ll need a social secretary to review and reply to comments in no time. That hail was awesome, this is quite an adventure, hail, lions, sharks and mountainous waves. I think it was sea lion lust, not trying to kill you. hehe. Those waves were gigantic. Why didn’t you turn around? And the idea that there is food you don’t eat or like, made me laugh. What is it with muscles? I’d have liked this to be about three times longer, some of those stops looked interesting and I wanted to see more! I have this thing going where I watch the video at 4.01pm, then get to watch it again later in the week and comment. It is just as good watching the second time, and that drone footage was wicked.

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Рік тому

      A comments secretary would be hilarious! Hahaha that sea lion comment caught me off guard 🤣🤣. Oh turning back sure crossed my mind! But that was the best weather for a while, and my forecast was running out. Mussels are just yuck you know 😂 all soft and weird. We'll see how long the last part turns out 😆.
      Haha sounds good, was worried we'd lost ya with no comment on Monday 😉.

    @bluedoggum8373 Рік тому

    My estimation of the sea lions is people feed them. Although some encounters seem way more aggressive than others. You’d know best. Wish people would not feed them though. I’ve had them come up and fiddle with the back of my fins while diving and it freaks me out tbh. Idk tho, there is some aggression / territorial / human feeding error all combined and makes it confusing. These vids are the real deal amigo great stuff

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Рік тому +1

      Pretty sure their behavior isn't due to human feeding, though I couldn't say for sure, but there couldn't be enough people down there to change so many of the behaviours. I'd put it down to being territorial, but yeah can be pretty freaky for sure! Thanks mate, cheers for watching 😁

    If I was that person I'd shoot a few possum and leave a few trail cams in fresh rooting areas till I knew there's pigs that are waiting for a feed so

    Amazingly - I'm in Northland and I've come up with an idea to bring Peace to the world without leaving home ... We teach all the wild animals [especially anything americans like to hunt] to use an AK47 ... We make american looking cardboard targets for Fish to shoot - [a Level Playing Field] - Every small boat must have an american Fish styled Bulls eye painted in the underside of the Hull to even the game up a bit.
    PRODUCTS FISH PEOPLE COULD MAKE AND SELL IN LOCAL MARKETS
    Hooks That break - advertising terms like "United blar blar superhook - Grease Nipples where they count! No Other Fish Hook maker has Greese nipples on all moving parts - your failure excuse to land the fish is in the attached pdf file ... EG: god let it get off, WOW that was 70 meters long and I saw it, IT WAS AN ALIEN trying to communicate with me ... yes all available with every packet of "Lets let them go Fish Hooks"
