 Always wanted to bench that you're gonna get one our time here at the Airbnb and Christchurch is over Bags are packed. I know there's a lot of traffic right here right now It doesn't seem very outdoor-esque, but trust me not too far away. It's about to get very very real cool little place here Christchurch I'm loving it go for today get a great meat pie. That's been high up on the list here in Christchurch Here in New Zealand things to do. You got to experience a good meat pie So hopefully we'll find one along the way and then just get to our destination It's clear skies right here, but our buddy that we're going with Todd. He's saying that it is like mega pouring over there We're going quite a long ways five or six hours To a different part of the island. So it's really rainy over there I think similar to like Hawaii where there's like different climates in different parts of the island But our plan is we're gonna go there first. That's our best chance at getting a tar or a shammy JT really he's he's been wanting to do this for many many years and Really wants a tar badly and to get one with a bow. It's a huge challenge I just monstrous challenge. That is our best chance is to go to that part of the island And especially because it's gonna be raining even more as the week goes on brutal y'all brutal conditions This is what I'm wearing in. This is my axis hybrid jacket It's kind of like softshell, but we're probably gonna be in rain gear for it's all over it's just gonna get nasty Get round nasty and then we'll come back here towards this way this part of the island as the week goes on And we'll have more of a chance for other species like fallow deer and things like that Ever loaded down a Subaru to that amount. I don't think so. We gotta figure out Just put it on top That thing has traveled Thousands of miles Take your doinkr off We'll put this here so it doesn't break the wind out. I helped load it. I promise. I'm not just standing here filming being that guy So apparently they don't have no dryers in New Zealand or it's not very common So people just be driving them out out in the winds We're out on a farm right now. We're we're dropping our stuff off at a at a friend's house leaving all the computers and bags and all that good stuff One thing that's just crazy about New Zealand I've seen so far Well number one the trees just in general like everywhere you look massive Megalodon trees, I guess it's just the right conditions for for growth here, but then they they have these hedges For days and the hedges are all just nicely trimmed everywhere you go Just out in the farm side. It's like everywhere is a nice park The grass is green gorgeous It's so majestic I'm not a total world traveler, but I think I can pretty much confirm that this is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet JT is testing an air rigger Looking okay Like this is the right spot This is the supreme right here Be JT got the supreme. This is like an everything which is a potato steak bacon bacon So I kind of kind of relayed this to a kalachi I've officially experienced the greatness they do Delicious thank you. Have a good day. Possibly was the best thing we will eat all week In the famous town of Sheffield And just around the corner is our mountains You can see him over there. That's where we're going. So this could be the last great thing I eat before we start eating mountain houses. I don't know, you know, what's everywhere is a finch A daggone finch will live anywhere in the world I feel like we're on a different planet Mr. Lark That's we're about that's a drive on the left on the left hand side of the road Don't forget that blinkers on the right hand side. Yeah, get her windshield wipers here Deal We're good except it's pouring down cats and dogs That backup beeper rolling Everybody's got snorkels here. Oh, yeah, the blinker being on the wrong side is so weird Low traffic situation. Which way are we going now? We go on the second I mean we have only been about 300 yards, but Don't run into this car I've never seen my life. I don't know how you would even navigate through that Looks dark deep in there Like trolls will be living in there We have arrived at our home for the night in this fern gully now. We started out It was dry and there was some mountains and things like that Then we went through a pass then it started getting like clouds low to the ground and now We are just in the I guess you call this a temperate forest close to the ocean It's crazy like the forest just goes right to the ocean and there's these beautiful huge river rocks everywhere Giant trees ferns. It's majestic looking. There's no question. And then this building right here just out in the forest There's a there's a glacier nearby kind of a tourist area where you can go view glaciers And there's just this little guest cabin out here in the woods later on we're gonna be staying in what's called a hut and Those are like government set up Stations that sleep like 20 people so you can literally go out do hiking Enjoy the outdoors and just just stay in these places that they built for you everywhere. You look there's something just growing There's not a branch a vine that doesn't have something else growing on top of it I can't imagine The kind of of animals and the thickness of The forest like things that are gonna be living in here It's gonna be a challenge filming this y'all challenge physically. Just look at this Imagine trouncing through this right here after an animal. I'm a little speechless here y'all This place is just full of wonderment I just found out on the way in like we passed a bunch of places that were filmed For Lord of the Rings like we drove five and a half hours to get here today tomorrow our journey really starts I'm gonna introduce you guys to Todd our guide who's been up here in the mountains for Weeks, he's really been hunting like off and on for months He's been on these tar and chamois up here.
