- I stayed in Hurunui Hut for a couple of nights with a couple of friends. We parked along Old Kaimai Road, then hiked in via the Henderson Tramline Loop Track, stayed a couple of nights, then hiked back out the same way without doing the loop. Didn't do much filming, just relaxed. We cut up a dead tree we found, made a fire, I went for a cold bath in a stream, and we found some native freshwater crayfish (koura). I didn't film at all on the last day when we hiked out, because we were hiking through a storm.
The Hurunui Hut is a hut located on the North-South Track in the southern end of the Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park, in the Waikato region (New Zealand). It's a small, basic hut with only 4 bunk beds. Be careful on wet days because the track can get muddy and slippery in places.
I'm a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Hamilton, New Zealand. My videos are a mix of music, and hiking the outdoors. Ceolskog is my folk metal / heavy metal / country rock (and some other genres) band. It is also the name given to this hiking and nature-themed CZcams channel. Ceol means music in Irish, and skog means forest Norwegian and Swedish. I don't have a Patreon, but if you're a regular viewer, and you want to support me some way, you can find my music on Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, Soundcloud, Amazon, and CZcams too (of course).

Looks like a fun hike! Quite a rugged trail, and the forest is spectacular.
Thanks mate, was a bit of a rough track but not too bad, and fairly short. Hope all is well up therein the Pacific Northwest!
Mate you're crazy. That water must be FREEZING!
Once the hypothermia sets in, it's not too bad.
Hey Adam bro !
I have had my head stuffed up my own fireplace for years !! lol 😂😂
The river is awesome !! .. as are the vistas in your neck of the woods !
Hope all is well my friend !

Thanks Jim... a topless lady? I'd have to cover my eyes!
Hey, nice one Adam a decent time out to the hut so you could dip - in a puddle? Nah, lovely up there bro - it's always good to immerse ourselves in nature. Have a great week ahead. Mark
Haha, a very crisp and clean puddle though!
@@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking Yeah, U bet it was coming down off the mountain. Take care bro.
Awesome place mate and a bit different from the norm. Hope to come and hike in your neck of the woods some day. \m/
Thanks for watching mate. Sorry I seem to be missing a lot of comments.
Looks like a bit of a goat track but sometimes theyre the best ones haha. Pretty small hut as far as doc huts go
Yeh, smallest hut I've stayed in. Was a bit rugged, but nothing compared to that abandoned track we picked for Leitch's hut!
@@Ceolskog-Folk-Metal-Hiking yeah that was a doozy!
