thanks for making a comment on that dog ban. Many people dont realize the ENTIRETY of the mountain is a PROTECTED RESERVE FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES , many of which are no flight birds! including, wild kiwis. Pet & Working Dogs are their biggest predatory threat!
I flew over this volcano going to the South Island and thought, “man I would like to go down there and check that place out.” Well, you made it happen for me! Thanks!
i am so happy to see increased attention on the lichens!! and your videos while here ensured that the second i finally got a ramp installed at my home, the first place i went was to a nearby trail with some of the intact forest. i didn't get very far in, but the joy it offered was profound. to finally see these things for myself was something i'd pretty much given up on before finding this channel, so thank you for your work, it kept me determined
Volcanic soil and the things it allows to thrive is the shit, I’ve always loved how something that can be so destructive when awoken is also very fruitful, no wonder the first vineyards were put near the Vesuvius and, to this day, people still have some over there producing top-notch grapes.
that pseudowintera colorata winteracae you are looking at is named horopito and does indeed have a volatile leaf oil that makes quite a tasty spice although a bit numbing if over done 😊
With the thick bush you can really understand why some moa species had such thick gumboot legs. Man I hope we can get rid of mammalian pests and bring back the moa using AI assisted genetic sequencing.
Why would plants evolve to have a white subaxial leaf when they grow so low to the ground? 🤔 Thanks for another amazing glimpse of another part of the world. The diversity in forms of plant life never cease to amaze me. I enjoy hearing about lineage history and relationships with other plants and such. It makes editing complex, but it is appreciated. There are only 2 CZcamsrs that I go out of my way to watch. You and Alexander Williamson (Fistory).
As a long term viewer, I never thought I would see the day that you visited my mountain. The modern world is Fn weird bro!, hope you enjoyed the symbiosis as much as I did mate!
This is so cool. I love all the flora we have in the pacific. It’s so awesome seeing species that are either in the same genus as or are lookalikes for some stuff in the Hawaiian islands. Makes me wanna explore the natural historical connections between the Hawaiian archipelago’s and Aotearoa’s floras
Just last week I attended a talk with a volcanologist discussing monitoring and emergency preparedness for possible volcanic eruptions here in Aotearoa New Zealand and yes, Mt Taranaki is one that is considered a definite risk.
I love volcanoes. I have a hypothesis. Hudson Bay is three ancient mega caldera. Due to V.M.E. I made up a name. Volcanic Mass Ejection. It's a mega phreatic eruption. Don't get me started. Brevity.
I used Horopito, aka Pseudowintera colorata as a botanic in some of my vodka brews/ Works well as a replacement for chillies, but goes lovely with Symphytum flowers. Jus' sayin' make sure you get the gnawed on leaves that have had more time to produce their protective compounds. Don't use the fresh ones.
I thought the sad _Gunnera manicata_ in my Portland backyard was the smallest in the world. Guess not. Summers just too gahdamned hot and dry these days, in Western Oregon
I have a similar problem. The cat bringing her friends around. Coyotes having massive Barbeques. Catbirds eating all my blueberries. Snails leaving their graffiti all over my patio. Garden Gnomes collecting illegal rainwater and firing guns off. Even the groundhogs yelling at me when I shoot my bow. It's a complete disaster.
@@user-cv6rl2qy1g don’t even get me started! What about dat mango ass beaver that was trying the build that damn down south there and completely destroyed the habitat. Stupid racists ass beaver!
Always pack the bowl FOR the Racoon.. Never let the Racoon pack the bowl. (thank me in 30 years.... when you are NOT getting bitch buggered by a randy racoon l
joey ya lump, scoria still got gas bubbles a plenty, it's vesicular as hell the only difference to pumice being it was in a lava flow not exploded out the top
Yeah nah bro not true.. By either the Maori or the British.. The North Island has far more Maori & more Maori tribes than the South Island today because it did then because it was the North Island they settled first.. The French narrowly missed colonising Canterbury in the South Island, when they landed in Akaroa but didn't have the flag or permission to stake their claim. So turned around to the French Consulate in New Caledonia. After which a month later the British arrived from the North Island & staked their claim.. Abel Tasman passed by the top of the South Island before the British ever arrived to NZ. But he only passed by & mapped the area. But no settlement was made or claims staked..
So.. every weekend ... I sit refreshing CZcams... to see if anything interesting is on.. 9 hours later.. I find THIS!... meanwhile.. the Al Gore Rythm... keeps recommending shit from channels that i don't even subscribe to from between 5 and 12 years ago! I ask Ya
There are a lot of psychoactive lichens, collema fuscovirens/flaccidium being the most well-known one. I have a list, reply if you're interested out of curiosity. A lot of them are just stories but there are some species names too
I sat... watching the sun come up on that big conical bastard... November the Middle... I watched CHUNKS.. NO... SLABS... NO.. ICEBERGS OF ICE CRUMBLE DOWN THE SIDE OF THAT MOUNTAIN.. I took an Icy shower in it it the next morning... nearly snapped my neck off...
man do you google this shit before you get here? How the feck do you know so much. Genuinely wish I shared such a keen interest in something. Too cool.
losing me at the wine aeh wein-something, the gunnera woke me up - just to mention: film some non-flying walking birds for them mass-subscriptions X ))
i took some lsd one time and it made me feel like a dog so i laid down on the floor. then one side of me was extremely hot like lava was touching while the other half was frozen like a glacier was holding me. next thing you know the gov will spray lsd in the sky to block out the uv rays. lol
The stigma is strong, but wrong. Since it’s a NZ vid, check out the Kaikoura ufo incident Joey. It happened, it does happen in many different guises all over the planet and it’s beyond weird and it’s real af. Used to maintain a garden where the gunnera was slurping up the overflowing septic. It was frikken massive. Anyways love your work, but enough with dissiing the phenomenon, you can get back to me after you’ve done some research, the rabbit hole awaits.
Or homeschool if you can. CA and some other states throw a lot of money on schools (or perhaps, unions & administration), with seemingly negative ROI. Don't subsidize abject incompetence.
I wonder what Moa tasted like? Might have been nice and fatty, what with there being no survival pressure on them, other than then need to find enough Kiwi to eat every day. It's a pity we never managed to keep a few to farm. Imagine the broiler sheds you'd have for Moa. Huge. And I suppose someone would've had to find a way of breeding enough Kiwi to feed to them. Or chickens. Great way of recycling the laying hens it's so difficult to sell for their meat. And by catch, too. I hear the fisheries have huge by catch problems, and have to just dump it back in the sea. If you had a Moa farm, you could just pulp all the fisheries waste products, put it through Moas, and make a killing.
Moa were probably tasty, but they were thought to be mostly herbivorous. If you want terrestrial avian predators, you'd have to check out the Phorusrhacids of South America. I'd hate to be run down by a ten foot tall bird, fast like an ostrich but with the beak like an eagle :P
Moa were herbaceous, they had long necks to get the best leaves of the trees.. But they did have survival pressure however. The Haast Eagle, the biggest eagle that ever lived, evolved to prey on Moa. They had a wing span up to 3 metres, & bigger bodies bodies in proportion than most Eagles. They would sit in the trees & swoop down & pick up the Moa.. When Moa were unfortunately hunted to extinction, the Haast Eagle lost it's food source, & so started preying on Maori children & smaller adults. So then the Haast Eagle was obviously hunted.. As amazing as it would be to have seen a Haast Eagle, it would also be fking terrifying if they were still around..
Huh🧐 sorry about my hound she is a stupid killer hound dog but I can't let her out the leash her dumbass won't come back #beagle. And even on the leash she had gotten a slow? Stupid? Cocky? Birds and a mole completely by her self we where pissed when it happen but we where warned about her high prey drive .
You do not have to be sorry. I found my cat living in the woods. She is a Norwegian Calico. During the day she looks like a pile of leaves. At night she is invisible. If she lived in Australia she would be on a wanted poster. 😁 They cannot help the way they are, and neither can you.
Animal agriculture is a huge issue for Aotearoa. The whole country has been turned into a giant industrial farm, and farmers are incredibly racist and fascist. Right wing. Support deforesting the last of the forests and whatnot. Its a bad situation

Hope you're voting green. Say goodbye to forests if national and act gets in

Your New Zealand videos have been the best bro
