Hi I’m Chris,
I am an adventurer traveler showing my lifestyle, the incredible places I travel and the things I experience through the art of video.
Order my Autobiography: www.wildkiwiadventurer.com/product/the-boy-from-gorge-river-signed/
I grew up in extreme isolation at Gorge River on New Zealand’s South Island West Coast. My family live 2 long days walk from the nearest road in a place that is as stunningly beautiful as it is rugged. We live as sustainable as possible by growing a huge vegetable garden, catching fish and hunting for most of our food.
Since leaving home when I was 17 I have set out to explore the world in constant search of new places to explore and things to experience.
This has taken me on an incredible journey from teaching extreme survival skills at -40°C in Antarctica, sailing across the arctic in a small yacht to looking after 300 Alaskan husky dogs in the dark Arctic winter
I love your comments!
Regards Chris

I came to your house when you were a baby must've been around 1999. Morgan Sexton was our pilot and I remember bringing some groceries and leaving my yoghurt. Perhaps you got the yoghurt. Really enjoyed this video thank you.

Amazing country! Amazing family! Your story makes it possible to think “I’d like to do that!” If I could do the 40km’s to Gorge River, I would really love to try. I am in my 80th year, my partner a few years younger. So maybe we’ll seriously look at that.
Thank God he put on those sunglasses. Blink dude
❤ I am a French diver in Panama. I am very excited about it and improve my skills by inspiring videos. Thank you very much guys!!!!
❤
Wow Soo loved this video..
Are you aware of the final experiment KZread channel? If you can help something regarding 24 hour sun in Antarctica, reach out him or MC Toon live or Jeranism
Loved all 3 books. Thank you.
Hei, too bad that you didn't find the way to get up to the ridge after the climbing cabin. You were actually too far down by going to the cabin. The traverse goes straight up in front of you after descending Styrmannstinen. You ascent Zapffetoppen (actually called Hollendaren on norgeskart.no) by staying on the ridge on the left of a narrow south-west gully. Then, just before reaching the top, you have to traverse the gully and climb up on the right to make it to the top and find the ridge that will bring you to Store Blåmann! Great vid and hope you'll get to try the traverse again 😉
Which month was that? Thanks!;
Very helpful video. I do have a couple of Smith goggles as well. What is the most suitable VLT for the goggles? My Smith goggles can be switched if needed. I have a lens with 12% VLT, (for very sunny days), 35% VLT, and 60% VLT (low light). On your video, I think the closest match to what I have is the Green Sol-X Mirror (12% VLT).
Hi. I am very inspired by your family and I too try to live minimal life that is close to nature. I am very interested in getting a copy of your parents books. Many thanks, Aoife
How much does it cost to fly to New Zealand and do you have to be a citizen to live there?
Why you don't touch them ? I have seen many videos on KZread no body don't touch these cuties ? Why ? Am crazy for just one time touch but my bad luck I can't reach there
Hi - I came down the coast to visit you guys about Jan 2001. You were about 8 yrs old and we fished for guppies off the rocks for lunch. Really enjoyed staying a few days. Later your dad rowed me up the Gorge and I tramped up over into the Cascade and out that way. Had to packfloat two of the gorges - nearly succumbed to hyperthermia in one of them that was a bit longer than expected. Great adventure though. I know this is a bit late - but thanks for the clip - brings memories to life. Cheers

Should NOT be encouraging fat tourists to ANTARCTICA. Sooner or later they will bugger it up, just like all other tourist destinations...........
Does anyone know why they put their head all the way down while standing up? Are they looking at the snow, looking at their stomach feathers or communication something to their fellow penguins? I think I am as curious as they are lol Thank you so much for sharing - they are beautiful!
Hi, nice video Christian. I'm finishing your book at the moment and very keen for a major adventure! Great notes here for a tramp from cascade to hollyford i reckon.
there is a wall on the antartica?
Pla pla keep posting videos i need to gain as much information as i can about Antarctica....i am doing everything in my capeballaties to get there ....everyvideo i watch just gives me more incentive and drive to pursue my destiny...i would live in an igloo if that was the only accomodation on offer ....god be with you ❤
How your family doing bro... big fan of your family's documentary . A live i would like to live
What are the coordinates, height, tilt, and direction of this location taken?
Scott's base, Antarctica
Scott s base, Antarctica
Anybody understand penguin?
Sun dog where tf is these names coming from
I'm guessing that the first explorers that used dog sleds a lot imagined it as dogs pulling the Sun
Love to do that walk
It’s no mean feat the life you have achieved, so clever, so resourceful, puts many of us to shame. Those cake s mum makes look delicious
🫶🇫🇮
The terror of the flat-earthers :)
Outstanding🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙
Where's the midnight sun?
The video itself shows it.
The video literally shows the midnight sun, cry harder
Good effort. Pushing personal boundaries 👍🏻
I saw a detailed video you made on how to walk in, I can no longer find this. Can you post a link or tell us where we can find it. I am looking into this as I would like to walk in to Gorge River.
