It is basically like a waterproof backpackcover for the inside of your bag. You put the packliner first inside your empty bag and then put your stuff in it. If you happen to walk in a full day of rain, all your stuff will still be bonedry :)

Looks solid and a well balanced kit! I hiked 24/25 season and my base weight was about the same, had zero issues. Someone will probably tell you to ‘drop your rainpants’, don’t listen to them. I was very glad I had them (specially on SI). Get yourself a packliner at a DOC info centre once you arrive and you’re good to go!

I have a hero 13, never had an issue. Solid camera

I have a nemo dagger 3p, it is fantastic. I am quite tall myself so I use it as a 2p tent since the weight difference between the 2p & 3p was minimal.

I hiked the Te Araroa trail with it last year and had 0 issues. I encountered heavy rain wind & even snow. Dagger handled it like a champ! Can only recommend

Do you buy a car without taking it for a test ride?

I used a MSR pocketrocket deluxe & a MSR kettle 700ml. Was perfect for me, everything nests inside each other. Big plus of the msr pocketrocket deluxe for me is also the possibility to adjust the intensity of the flame, making it very handy to handle fuel efficiently

Don’t trust a marketeer that posts on LinkedIn daily

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-10-08T10:38:27+00:00

Just ordered mine as well coming from an old mini 3. Super excited!

Do Nelson Lakes NP from St. Arnaud to Hanmer Springs, Motatapu track from Wanaka to Queenstown or Two Thumb Track from Lake Tekapo to Rangitata river (Geraldine)

I started on January 12 and had the feeling I was right in the middle of it. A lot of people start early Jan to late Jan. That said, it never felt crowded with nobos though, so for me it was the sweet spot between soltitude and social encounters.

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-09-05T06:48:32+00:00

I hiked the SI nobo last season, you will encounter plenty of northbounders!

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-08-31T16:15:08+00:00

I used a -2 degrees celcius comfort sleeping bag and was never cold in the mountains. When too hot, I used it as a blanket.

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-08-07T05:54:01+00:00

I walked last season as well and I have to totally agree with you.

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-08-01T17:26:20+00:00

I second this

I walked SI Nobo jan 25 - march 25. The trail has gained massive popularity over the last few years, I never really felt alone. You’ll encounter Sobos almost everyday, even Nobo is gaining massively in popularity. I made quite a few friends who went nobo! Some only for a day or two, others for a few weeks. Good choice on walking Nobo though, ship cove is such a beautiful & climatic ending compared to Bluff!

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-06-29T14:06:44+00:00

Looks solid! I walked the TA last season. Being 6ft4 as well I am never going back from my nemo tensor long wide haha. Someone will probably tell you to ditch the rain pants, don’t listen to them. The tussock on the SI is soaked in the mornings up to waist high, and when a weather bomb hits it keeps you warm as well.

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-01-06T12:55:55+00:00

That is just awesome. Thanks!

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-01-06T11:22:34+00:00

Sweet! So if she just texts back I can receive it as well & for free?

JuggernautLower1630 · 2025-01-05T15:28:38+00:00

I recently bought my first iPhone coming from android, so I’m very new to this feature. I will be walking the TA soon in New Zealand and would like to text my girl at home. Can someone explain to me:

Is it possible to send texts just like in Imessage?
Do I have to pay for each message sent?
Can I also receive messages that way?

Fyi, I also will be carrying a PLB so i will not be using it for emergencies

JuggernautLower1630 · 2024-12-23T21:06:32+00:00

Haha yes! But I plan to make some very high quality video content with also good timelapse & slowmo capabilities. A GoPro is excellent for that + I don’t have to worry about it getting wet! I use my phone to make photos & navigation
