  • The first part of Tasman's 12 day epic trip around Stewart Island/Rakiura in his 3.6m inflatable, Red Current.
    In this episode we see a bit of light boating across Foveaux Strait, a couple whitetail deer running around and good numbers of paua and fish.
    Follow along for the 3 part series, cheers for watching!

    Tasman (and Arved) have become one of my staples for regular viewing. The more I watch the more I want to watch, if that makes sense. Always puts a smile on my face. Keep it up guys.

    Interesting and first rate video coverage which I enjoyed having visited the island many years ago.

      Nothing fancy: fry onions, garlic, ginger, then add masaman curry paste (think it's the "Ayam" one in the vid) and paprika, fry for a bit, then add mushrooms and broccoli if you like, and cook for a bit. Then chuck in your fish and coconut cream and basically just bring it to the boil and it should be done!

    Came across this video purely by chance and enjoyed it SO much that I just had to go on and watch the other two you made of the trip,Have been to the Island many times and it is without dought my happy place any where in the world and I enjoyed that you managed to take us to a lot of the Island's more remote parts ,some I have been to and some not (never been down the piece from Doughboy Bay to Pegasus)and as I'll turn 68 in a couple of months don't think I'll get to see some of them again, What really surprised me was that you were able to get into such a small boat in the first place as it takes BIG BALLS to do a trip like that solo at the best of times, Was surprised you didn't have any footage of Belltopper Falls when you were in Pegasus later in your trip as it is probably the best waterfall on the Island, My biggest question of your adventure though is how you managed to have enough Battery Power for that length of time for all you devices.Would also love to know if you managed to get out the top of the bush when you hunted up the old Horse Tram line from Diprose Bay in Pegasus? as when I went up there 30 odd years ago there was still a lot of evidence of the tin mining to be seen up there including the amazing rock dam that powered the water lines for the tin miners and there was still a lot of the old wooden rails and sleepers in evidence,finally I would just like to add that these 3 video's have been some of my most enjoyable watch's ever on U Tube ,thank you for the trip and I going to go back and watch all 3 again soon just to enjoy it all again

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Před rokem

      Wow thanks so much for your comment! Glad you've enjoyed the videos 😁. Haha I'm not sure why I didn't check out Beltopper falls, though that was around the time I dropped my phone in the water so I guess I was distracted 😂.
      I had two methods for charging, 18650 Lithium ion cells for 12v to 5v with a car cigarette lighter thingy, and makita batteries with a dc/dc converter, worked out pretty well with all the various cameras! And nah I didn't get that far up the hill, basically just got high enough to sidle around to the east through the forest, since the deer seem to hang out in the lower altitudes. A trip to the tops would have been fun though, that sounds like some cool relics to find.
      Thanks for watching 😊

    It fascinates me that you take your little boat across to the island. Epic adventures, is it very good hunting the open area for whitetail? Obviously no huts but I guess not that many people hunt that area?

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Před 10 měsíci

      Thank you! Well I only saw 3 deer total, all in the open area, but I guess that's not a great sample of how the hunting is everywhere else 😆. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more animals though, you're right I don't think very many people go round the more remote areas down south.

  • @pauldavies4870
    @pauldavies4870 Před rokem

    Tasman considering how fast he can eat a whole buck; a week for an average man, Tasman could do it in 4 days. You’ve mastered that drone quickly, and they were fantastic shots. I was surprised at how calm it all looked and so far, and I was more worried for you on the Hollyford/Milford 4-part episode, though perhaps there is more danger to come (sharks and spiders aside). It looked pristine (apart from the cats) and so many fish - maybe this is where the expression shooting fish in a barrel comes from. Did the circumnavigation make you think about maybe walking around it, or was this enough?

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  Před rokem

      Thanks Paul! I dunno, there's a lot on a whole deer, maybe make that 5 days 😉😂. There's a bit of rough weather next ep. but these first days were pretty nice while I was on the water. The moki certainly weren't playing hard to get 😂

It's got a 5 section aluminium floor over an inflatable keel, and 3 separate pontoon chambers (sides/front).
