Скачать или смотреть Te Araroa Trail Gear Breakdown | Tent, Sleeping System, Medical Kit, River Safety & More

In this video, I take you through the full breakdown of the gear and equipment I used during my Te Araroa thru-hike across New Zealand. From my ultralight Durston X-Mid Pro 2 tent and MSR Groundhog tent pegs, to my Zenbivy sleeping system paired with a Thermarest sleeping pad, I cover what worked, what didn’t, and what I ended up ditching along the way.

I also share insights on river safety – a critical topic for anyone planning to tackle the TA – plus a look inside my medical kit, and some honest advice about clothing and gear I discarded during the hike. I finish with my final base pack weight, and what I learned about packing light without sacrificing safety or comfort.

Whether you’re preparing for your own Te Araroa adventure or just curious about long-distance hiking gear, this video gives a practical, real-world view from the trail.
