  Very inspiring. Would you like to share your packing list and thoughts and experiences about food on the trip?

• 
  @gonesurfing86032 күн бұрын

  Thank you Jonathan! In regard to my packing list here are my big 4: Backpack: Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 55l, Tent: Z-Packs Plex Solo, Quilt: Enlightened Equipment Enigma (-6°Celsius), Sleeping mattress: Thermarest NeoAir Xlite (170cm). For all the rest of gear I can only recommend less is more :-) In regard to food I resupplied at the supermarkets on the way. This was an easy task, they have all you need. My longest food carry was 8 days between Abisko and Jäckvik on the Kungsleden. (Usually the huts provide some food but whilst I hiked this stretch some huts had been closed).

  Thank you so much Steven! I used a Fuji XT5 with the Kit Lens Fujinon 18-55mm. When the weather turned bad as for the river crossings I used a Gopro Hero 11. These 2 cameras had been my "luxury items" and added some weight but I enjoyed documenting this hike a lot, so for me it was worth it :-)

  This video is incredible and inspiring! Thank you! I plan to walk some TA from mid-December to the end of January. I will have about 6 weeks. If I were to start at the top of South Island - how far (very average speed!) do you think I could make it? Are there any sections you suggest to skip and do different ones? I will fly to Wellington and fly out of Queenstown. I am flexible with the destinations - this is meant to be "the taster" ;-). I would greatly appreciate your advice.

• 
  @gonesurfing8603Ай бұрын

  Thank you very much! I'm sorry but i can't tell you how far you will make it as there are just too many factors, as for example the weather (maybe you have to skip sections because of the weather) and your experience in regard to long distance hikes. Every section has its own charm, beauty and challenges. I would recommend that you start your hike and see how it's going. Try to make it to Lake Tekapo and decide there, depending on remaining time, if you need to skip a section till Queenstown.

  @@gonesurfing8603 Thank you for such a quick response, I understand your position here. So let's go for a different angle - what were your favourite sections on the South Island? The "not to miss" ones? ;-)

• 
  @gonesurfing8603Ай бұрын

  @@kasia2216 Well, I wouldn't skip any part from the start till Lake Tekapo. So you have some easy days on the Queen Charlotte Track till the start of the Richmond Ranges. Richmond Ranges and Nelson Lakes are amazing, as is the part from Boyle to Arthur's pass. The sections before Rakaia and Rangitata River, in between and afterwards till Lake Tekapoo are very nice too. The Motatapu Track between Lake Wanaka and Queenstown shouldn't be missed either :-)

  thank you very much! Go for it, even if you can only do a portion of it. Luckily this trail allows you quite easily to do this, either you can choose the start or end section with their mountains (that are also the more popular ones) or the sections in between where you can enjoy even more the nature in solitude.

  Amazing video! great inspiration for my summer trip...what camera gear did you take w you? and would you recommend these trailrunners for a hike like this?

• 
  @gonesurfing86035 ай бұрын

  Thank you very much! I filmed with the Fuji XT5, Fuji 18-55mm, Fuji 14mm and a Gopro Hero 11. In regard to shoes everybody has different needs, so it’s not easy to do a recommendation. Here are my thoughts on this topic. I used this model on several long distance hikes and I am happy with them. Trailrunners in general are lighter than boots, so every step will be easier, they are more breathable, so less blisters. On the other side you have to deal with wet feet on most of the days, but the trailrunners dry much faster than boots. Boots will last longer, on GB you may need a second pair of Trailrunners. In the end you have to decide what works best for you.
