Sometimes it’s more about just hanging with a mate in the hills, than actually hunting. Caught this moment as the first rays of dawn bathed the Nevis - with @wolvesofnz and @timothymcmelon. Excited to get back out there with summer fast approaching

“How much could I fit into 24 hours” Turns out I could make from deep in the West Australian Outback to a remote wilderness hut lying atop New Zealand’s Southern Alps - only took fighting my way through a lightening storm up the side of a blizzarding mountain in the middle of the night to get there. Read more about it in the link in our bio...

From a Peruvian Mule Taxi to NZ alpine crossings - Madi’s come a long way in the outdoors world. Check the article to read about her first disastrous foray into the natural world. It’s an awesome reminder of where you can get if you stick things out for the long haul!

The Southern alps just kicked my Ass! Shot this on the way back down the ridge from Brewster hut after getting stuck in a blizzard just below Mt Armstrong Summit. The mountains don’t care... but I’ll be back! Going to a fun one to write up!

“The Yosemite Valley stretched out for miles below. Tourists bustled around like ants, navigating traffic jams in tiny toy cars. The Merced River meandered through the park fuelled by cascading waterfalls from above. It felt like we were perched in the heavens, looking down on the earth...”.

If you’re curious about what it feels like to stand on the edge of a 3000ft vertical cliff and think you might fancy going to the Yosemite yourself one day, then click the link in the Bio for Madi’s latest blog post; the last of our American adventures. I think she’s outdone herself with this one. Let us know what you think in a comment below 👇👇.

Also, be sure to check out the saved story on our page for a wee vlog from the day.

30 minutes from our doorstep... let the Otago adventures begin!
Been a bit quiet the past few weeks while we’ve been setting up our new life in Cromwell, Central Otago, NZ.
Now that we are settled, we will be spending the rest of the year navigating the immense new wilderness surround our little home. Seeing views like this on our first mission out has cemented this as the best lifestyle move ever.
Could not be more excited.

Unknown Stream meandering around the Cascade Range, towards the world famous Wilberforce River. Shot from the Moa saddle. Views like this entrance the senses and ensnare the soul, always leaving the viewer more whole than minutes before.
