I love your content man. I’ve just started possum trapping. Ran my first line of 23 because it’s all I can afford for now. Got a permit from doc to trap in some doc land.
Truly enjoy the scenery. An lake. At my age seen many great places. You got the lead of best. Thanks for showing it fight to keep this way. Showing it allows the stinking rich to build an destroy. Politicians can be bought as countries try an expand for resources. They know not what they do!!! PEACE BE WITH YOU AN FAMILY.
I can now only dream of hunting in that country. Thank you for taking the time to film this and letting us tag along. Cheers! :D 100 likes!
LOL your joke when you were on the top of the hill and pointed out your route dropping down to the saddle and then walking up across the mountains tops! I actually believed you there for a second and said bloody hell this guy is fit!! 😁
You're so right, we are so lucky to have this as our backyard, to wander about hunting as we go, long may it continue. Loved the footage of the hind barking, another easy watch entertaining vid. ps, loved your little trekking joke....
Wow! absolutely stunning! very very lucky man indeed to have that in your backyard!
Sweet what a Beautiful View ya'll have there wow!! from Chuck, from Kentucky U.S.A.
Awesome video,makes me miss NZ so much.i lived in Taupo for a couple years and drove trucks all over.such a beautiful country..
Every time i see your footwear I think "i wish some company would sponsor that poor bastard some decent boots" ..... you certainly milk the last bit of use out of the footwear you use lol You're totally at one with your environment, and have such a calm nature man, big respect
You're living your best life. Regards and just a wee bit of jealousy from Scotland.
Thanks for taking me on that enjoyed walk. Really amazing & so scenic, intermingled with interesting things that you encountered along the way. I miss the Kiwi bush which I remember from years gone past.

Love this track bro, beautiful view over to monowai from the top if you drop through the next saddle. And how good is that massive slip when you hit the tops. Would love to come give you a hand one day if you need a packhorse.

Am I the only one who saw a bag of bud in that bucket?

I'm from the other side of the world but by the look of those spiders webs you must be heading into autumn.

so where abouts are you in this video & is that something new happening with all those spider webs. Never seen that before. How beautiful is that view of the lakes. awe yes NZ at its bestest show.
I used to hunt possums when I was at high school. Stretched and dried the skins for sale when the buyer came to town. A well set undamaged full black doe skin once got me $15. Most reds got around $5. That was about 1979. Now I live in Australia and when I talk of hunting possum for the fur trade I get hated on. Love to be doin what you are doin
AWesome videos man!
Great video i know that spot really well mite inspire people to get out there an have a go
Classic kiwi humour loved it bro

Must feel good being out there on days like that.
Awesome! Stunning footage as usual. Which lake is it if you don't mind us asking?
Nice, ever thought of getting a sea kayak?!
Which part of the country is this? Bloody amazing 👏
Looks like Nelson Lakes.
The man
nice vid bro. think the spider web stuff could of been mycelium but is normally on grass.
Awesome country wherever you are. Is it top of the south island?
Mean content brotha 🤙🏽 what size traps you use?
Set some traps last night, and caught 4 this morning, pretty fun
Totally believed you about going right around the skyline wouldn't have surprised me with you I thought "heck hes gone mad" but cracked up when you revealed the truth,hilarious,also I dont think alot of people know that you dont speed up your videos and it's all in real time like when you were coming back around the lake edge there 😂 your a machine mate
What sort of foot wear do u use as from the looks of it they get a hiding?
What boots do you wear...they look nice and lightweight
Yep , you got it in one word , Paradise , cheers .
Are the ridges a good spot the for trap lines.?
If I stumbled across a bucket like that in the middle of nowhere not sure if I would open it...don't wanna find a human head or something. Thanks for sharing, bloody beauty
