  This is good advice that will be helpful for a lot of people. However, the satellite part was a bit off. Spot (a "satellite messenger") does not communicate with the GPS satellite network. It communicates with a private satellite network, Globalstar. Garmin Inreach uses another private network, Iridium. Sat messengers are relatively low power (1.6 watts max) transmitters that can (usually) reach satellites in low earth orbit, 500-900 miles up. These satellites orbit every 90-100 minutes, so they're always coming into or going from view. I say Spot can usually transmit, because the US Dept. of Agriculture tested Spot and found it to be very effective when there was an unobstructed view of the sky, but the ability to get a message out was very mixed under tree cover. In some cases, Spot messages failed more than they succeeded - under tree cover. On the other hand, Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) can transmit at 5 watts power, allowing them to punch thru poor conditions better than sat messengers. PLBs have enough power to transmit directly to geostationary satellites, which orbit at 22,000 miles in space. Sat messengers can't do that. In the continental US, for example, there are two geostationary satellites overhead at all times, capable of picking up PLB distress signals almost instantly. So it's likely that your PLB distress signal will be picked up more quickly that a Spot/Garmin distress signal. PLBs also access a network that's made up of several different layers of satellite coverage - some in low earth orbit, some in medium earth orbit, some in geostationary orbit. It's a very capable network and having different types of satellites offers advantages. PLBs also have other features such as the ability to float, the ability to send out a distress homing beacon, and the ability to strobe a light for rescue crews. Finally, PLB rescues are dispatched by government organizations. In the US, PLB rescues are dispatched by the US Air Force Rescue Coordination Center. Personally, I'd rather have national governments coordinating my rescue, versus a call center for a private company. The one advantage of subscription sat messengers is the ability to send two way, non-emergency messages to family and friends. That capability might well be worth paying for, in some situations. But for a real life and death emergency in unknown conditions, when time counts, PLBs are the better choice.

  I'm a 69 year old woman & I did this amazing walk alone 2 weeks ago. It was very challenging & the long walk down to the carpark was gruelling, but I was very lucky as the weather was glorious & the views unforgettable. My hips & ankles started to hurt during the last hour or so of walking in spite of me using walking poles, but once I was sitting in the shuttle bus at the end I was fine. I am reasonably fit but live in a fairly flat city in Australia, so had had little experience of walking up & down hills, let alone mountains, & it was this that made the hike so difficult for me, not the distance per se. I walked almost the same distance in Wellington a few days later, including up & around Mt Victoria, & had no trouble at all. One thing to remember when reading the signs that tell you the distance to the next rest area, toilet, carpark, etc is that when you are climbing up or down lots of steps you are not necessarily travelling much distance, regardless of how many steps you are taking. I nearly despaired on occasions late in the walk when I felt I had walked several kilometres only to discover at the next signpost that I had hardly travelled more than a kilometre. I agree with an earlier comment that having someone to talk to during these last stages of the walk would be a great help & distraction from the distance & difficulty when you are so tired; this was the only part of the walk that I spent really on my own, as there were so many people to chat to in the earlier stages, & I found it hard. I am highly unlikely to do this walk again, but if I do go back to the Tongariro area I'd like to go to the Ketetahi carpark & then retrace the last few kilometres of the walk through the woodlands, as they looked so pretty, but I was trudging onwards so doggedly, so focussed on getting to the end of the walk, that I couldn't appreciate their beauty at the time.

  my wife and I did this walk , I was 60 at the time and found it very challenging as i had several knee operations in the past ,we started out fine but the decent from the red crater was difficult due to the volcanic rocks but that was only a short decent compared to the track to the bottom carpark , the graded track was brutal on legs and ankles as its a fairly steep decent , my wife had to undergo feet surgery when we returned home due to the pressure of her toes being pushed into her hiking boots , it was a bucket list item and i did a lot of walking in the lead up months but nothing prepared me for this, some younger people were very quick but it can be a challenge to older people , loved doing it as the scenery was amazing but be prepared as this is difficult , was i fully aware to the difficulty , no , my wife said she will never go hiking with me again

  she likely had too loose boots, either generally or simply not tied tightly enough. I do marathon running in the mountains and it is very common to loose all your toenails if you let your feet slide up and down in the shoe.

  Just finished this hike on Jan 4th! We lucked out, had the most beautiful day, with the sun out when we reached the Red Crater. Everything was visible, even Mt Ngauruhoe (Mt Doom in The Lord of the Rings). The most challenging is the scree of that 100m descent to the lakes. And then the never ending steps to the pick-up area. I suggest not doing this hike alone. Because that last 3 hours hiking down will fly by if you have someone to talk to. Loooooved this hike so much. Will be in my 80s & be reminiscing how much fun I had.

  I've done this climbing until summit barefoot and socks only! Reaching the end of the Scree part, I started wearing socks (only socks!) because it was getting really slippery so no not slown down the group, I wore them. After that, until the top with socks! I have videos to prove! Does someone already did it? summit Mount Taranaki barefoot/socks?

  30. 12. 2023 finally did it. Amazing trip. The Angelus hut is another level - double glazed, spacious with extensive deck area. Went in via Mt. Robert ridge and came out through Speargrass track due to low visibility/rain - a good option to add more variety of terrains and scenery regardless of weather. The only issue was lots of river/stream crossing - water level rising and fast flow. More challenging than we thought. It is the experience you will never forget for sure! Thank you very much for your comprehensive video that inspired us to visit. Looking forward to more inspiration from you. 😊

  As a Scotsman on holiday with my Kiwi wife, the summiting of Mt Taranaki was on my list of things to do. Well aware of its reputation, I came kitted for a day on a Scottish mountain and it did not disappoint. I had one crack at the whip, which is a classic bad move for tourists looking complete one of our tops, - because you don’t get to pick your weather. I knew bad weather was coming in but figured I’d have enough time to summit and run. Well that lava scree is not something we don’t see at home and it fair slowed the pace. What I had in my favour (I thought) was an Aucklander who had done it before. As it turned out, his kit choice (shorts) was questionable at best, and his jacket - well, Twas not the best. As we got close to the summit the wind must have been in excess of a 150kph and the rain was going either sideways or upwards. This was easily as tough as a bad day at home. We got right to the edge of the rim, but by this point we were on our hands and knees and could only make ourselves heard by shouting. The real fun part was I couldn’t even pull out a map as it was highly likely it would ended up in Napier with the wind. So, navigating on unfamiliar ground, in mist, rain and high winds is hard enough, but doing it without recourse to a map is clearly not clever. In our favour were the poles stuck in at intervals (are they still there?), and given I have plenty adverse weather miles under my own belt, my limit was the rim. At that point, if we went past it, I’d have no reference points and it would have been not clever to go on. So we turned back. My kiwi friend’s hardiness in these conditions was somewhat impressive, and by the time we got back down to the alpine hut the rain was sheeting of our jackets. So will there be a next time - I hope so. It was a spectacular day out even if the weather was sub-optimal,but next time, I’ll wait till it’s sunny!!!

  In the 60s and 70s as kids we used to walk from Blackball to the old Top hut just below the Ces Clarke one. The track was very overgrown,some of the bridges were still standing but very rotten also there were a lot of slips that had to be scrambled over was a great place for kids adventures. We would stay a night and the next day along the tops to Baldy above Roa, then follow the ridge down through the bush to the Roa coal dump then out onto the road back to Blackball, great days.

  Kia ora Maria, It's certainly possible but depends on fitness. People occasionally run the full track as a trail run/walk. With an overnight pack, Routeburn Falls Hut to the Divide could be possible within 8 hours, assuming conditions are good. But definitely leave early to give yourself plenty of time and keep the weather and your fitness in mind when planning.
