  1. Good effort boys with all that kit! I took that route back in '84 (ish – can't remember exactly), but instead of heading out to the coast crossed over into the Arawhata and then up into the Olivines, down into the Dart and back to the Matukituki over Cascade. Real Tiger country!

  2. Incredible trip into our backyard, thanks for sharing this adventure! Lots of love!

  3. Woww what an adventure! Love nothing more than watching fun people do cool stuff like this

  4. Honestly one of the best adventure films I've seen. Thoroughly entertaining. Photos, cinematography and editing are top notch. Not to mention a gnarly route, you lads are legends🤙

  5. Great trip, but seriously, I can forgive the Yank, but Kiwis hiking in long pants is just embarrassing! What has gone wrong with this younger generation ?!?

  6. Insane trip, the vibes withstood the adversity, top notch cinematography. What a journey
