    This is such an gorgeous video. Shot so beautifully and with a pleasant relaxing background music. Love the fact that the music is soft enough to let through the ambient sounds. Masterpiece!!!

      A beautiful meditation to have the ambient sounds.🙏

    I hiked these trails back in 1988. They’ve made some nice improvements since then. Great storytelling, Kraig. Very well done!

    Paradise on earth. Just wow, Kraig, what a spectacular video and experience... Specially loved that lake by the mountains where you had a nap. Amazing work, truly...

    I called NZ, specifically the south island home for two years. My partner and I spent so much time hiking through beech forest and tussocks, and the sounds of the forest there really sounded like home to me. When I saw you where hiking through the south island before these videos where published I was so excited. I knew listening to the audio would bring me right back and it totally has.
    Thank you, you brought some tears to my eyes listening to the birds there again. I hope the Kea's and Weka's didn't steal anything too important from you haha!

    I am going to save up and fly to Christchurch next late December to celebrate New Years. Then take the ferry over to New Plymouth to check out the New Zealand Gas to Gas plant I worked on the design for in the early 1980's. Beautiful people. Beautiful natural scenery.

  • @mattsmith3135
    @mattsmith3135 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Fantastic photography; it really captures the essence of these tracks.
    More than 20 years ago, I did the Kepler/Routeburn/Milford Tracks back-to-back as well, and it looks like not a lot has changed since then (in fact many of the scenes you parked your camera at were the same spots I took film photos from).
    Note for viewers: this version of the Milford Track experience is the 'guided walk', which costs $2.5k per person, instead of about $300 for the 'freedom walk'.

    Superb video content Kraig. I assume the lake past the Harris Shelter was Lake Wilson, I've not been into there, but it looks fantastic. I did the Routeburn last year and had perfect weather like you. Kepler for me in two weeks time. Cheers for sharing quality content.

    Thank you for the video, very nice work!~👍 But I'm curious about how this video was filmed. Did you film it all by yourself? If so, doesn't every shot require setting up the equipment first, then walking past the camera (sometimes from a distance), and finally going back to get the equipment?

    @captainsensiblejr. Před 3 měsíci

    NOTE ON REGIONAL NAMES IN NEW ZEALAND
    a) in New Zealand English we precede geographic regions with the definite article "the"
    b) we don't really think about it, here, but most of New Zealand regional names are oriented to the compass and their geographical position
    c) the northern-most island is called The North Island,
    d) the middle (largest) island is called The South Island
    e) the smallest, southern-most island is Stewart Island [named for an early 19th C. whaler captain]
    d) the northern-most province of the North Island is Northland
    e) the northern-most point of land in Northland is called North Cape
    f) running south to north up the western coast of the entire length of the South Island, are the Southern Alps.
    g) the most easterly point of land of the North Island is the East Cape
    h) the southern-most province of the South Island ( which includes Stewart Island) is called Southland [fun fact- I was born and raised there]
    i) the western-most province of the South Island is called Westland
    g) if you want to refer to the entire coast of the island you are on, i.e. the coast nearest Australia, we refer to them both as the West Coast. Context determines the West Coast of which island. If no context is given, we mean the West Coast of the South Island.
