stunning scenery and a lovely laid back video .thanks for sharing scotty.love from the uk
A bit late, but congratulations on the new addition to your family. 1+1=3 Great video! Thanks! I’ve visited Australia twice; for a month in 2023. Such a beautiful special place. I haven’t made it to NZ yet, but really want to even more after viewing your adventure there. How great it’s only a three hour flight for you to get there. (Unlike the 16 hours for me!) Adventure on & be safe!
not about the trip ( witch is amazing) but after seeing your feets you got my follow and my respect Bru…
Another plonker with a GoPro….just what we need.
the dolphins are hector’s dolphin I believe you can tell by the rounded fin

looks epic
Downvote for not saying where this is
Thanks, for sharing your journey. I have that same packraft. I call it my "trusty green". It is made for these kind of trips. I was incredibly inspired by your video. I think this is what packrafting should be. Some seem to forget. So thankyou!
Beautiful videos brother.
what work do you do mate?
Garlic ..lived at Fox Glacier for few years …they ate it like picked onions even rubbed it on their skin.. preserved them….jars and jars it worked …they are emune to commercial stuff 😮
i love this film ❤❤❤
I just cancelled my Calm app subscription.
This was the best 1hr distraction from work ever – sitting in an office in Auckland questioning my life choices haha. Great video bro and a stunning showcase of our beautiful country.
Amazing view…😮 Nc video
Thank you sooooo much 4 sharing upur adventures…i wojld never get to…. the beauty & phtographic footage, stumming!! Thank you
Hey man. Sorry to be late to the video.
Your first night camping you mentioned at 1 point, it was 10pm.. it looked like day light?? Where were you in nz.. I’m from new zealand and would love to take my family wherever you were. Love the video! Well done
Beautiful God’s Creation! Blessed to live here, NZ.
What stunning footage. I see I’m 8 months too late to comment but answering your question Māori used either red ochre or balm made from the crushed leaves of the Ngaio plant to repel mosquitos and sandflies.
Yes, as a Māori I too feel it’s such a shame NZ didn’t have a variety of native land mammals especially for tourists to enjoy on top of the scenic landscape. The only native land mammal is the Kunekune, a Māori pig. Māori did have Kuri a native dog but they were unfortunately breed out with dogs brought by european settlers. But yeah, you’d be lucky if you spotted NZ skinks and geckos or weta a giant beetle.
Anyway, thanks for the great video 🤘
This is almost as beautiful as Otara
Nice video what camera do you use ?
So to deal with the sandflies we (Maori) had insect repellent 🤣 It’s called the Ngaio tree and you walked past it a few times. You just rub the leaves all over & it keeps them away. Good to know for next time
Nice one scotty. Well being in the Southern hemisphere, that part of NZ is similar to southern Chile. Same kind of rain forest and rivers and ocean. I don’t know about the Sand Flies though 🙂
You always find the most picturesque spots; your travel instincts are amazing
This was beautiful! Just discovered your channel, I am about to binge watch it
OMG Scotty the footage of your film is so epic it looks like an apple movie, captured everything the way god intended you to see it and visually and audio as it is…..Thanks for the share with us that wairua{ Spirit} moment you had on the banks appreciation is very common with all visitors even kiwis have to pinch themselves at times,About how. beautiful and. spiritually uplifting a place can bring. there is a common saying in this country that a lot of travellers find that at the end of every. gravel road in NZ is beauty which you have experienced. The spirit of our country is felt everywhere you go, some kiwis would even believe the bug that flew into your eye after having just said that we have no harmful things’ this. could be seen as a was good omen for you -bringing you praise and. good luck on your next travels. look forward to watching all your adventures. Amazing film.
Is so beautiful,
And yet you had to Go and cruise the Creator off all of what you have seen.We Pray that God have mercy on your soul.
What a shame.😢
embrace, look where you are brother!. a cut thumb, some soarness and sun burnt… the smallest of prices to pay for the journey your on. embrace it!
The landscape is amazing
Love your videos scott, keep up the hard work. I always look forward to watching your content
Best Travel Vlog I ever seen 😇
Here from Seattle! Thanks sooooo much Scotty!!! I enjoyed watching your trip immensely!!
What the… you caught a fish in that little time like a pro and still had that long distance to go to setup camp. I could fish all day and get nothing…. haha
Thank you, such a stunning trip & marathon effort! Yes, we are spoilt for safety here (unlike Oz) no poisonous snakes, etc. trekking through the bush isn’t a matter of life & death, the weather would be the biggest danger.
