3 Days Backpacking New Zealand's Most Diverse Wilderness!

*This video is sponsored by LMNT! Try LMNT (you'll love it!) by clicking here: https://drinklmnt.com/mirandagoesoutside I spent 3 perfect days backpacking the Greenstone Caples Track on New Zealand's epic South Island! This hike had bridges GALORE! Often overlooked for the nearby, and far more popular, Routeburn Track, the Greenstone Caples circuit is possibly New Zealand's most stunning, and underrated hike. Over 60 kilometers, Rainer and I hiked along clear rivers, over bridges, through dense beech forests and wide open valleys, under stunning mountain peaks, and we saw all sorts of incredible birds along the way. This was the New Zealand tramp of my dreams, and completing this gorgeous, and diverse, mountain circuit is an adventure I'll never forget! This is the second video in my series backpacking in New Zealand, and I have one more video in this series coming soon. 🇳🇿💚 Check out my first dramatic video in New Zealand here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpUflU5FMcw&t=57s Intro: 00:00 Carpark to McKeller Hut - Day 1: 1:00 McKeller Hut to Mid Caples Hut - Day 2: 11:27 Why I love LMNT electrolytes (sponsor): 21:14 McKeller Hut to Mid Caples Hut - Day 2 (con't) 22:05 Mid Caples Hut to Carpark - Day 3: 28:33 Outro: 31:38 My backpacking gear - M!GO Water Bottle: https://alnk.to/2QAmbrv M!NI M!GO: https://alnk.to/8PI7xbA Zenbivy Fast Sheet: https://alnk.to/flA9PiS Zenbivy UL Quilt: https://alnk.to/cm1h9sz Zenbivy Mattress: https://alnk.to/b7BYhKT Coros Apex Watch: https://rei.pxf.io/qzjX2g Nemo Hornet Elite 1p Tent: https://rei.pxf.io/xLPGgy LiteAF Ultra 40L Curve Pack: https://liteaf.com?ref=10796 Big Sky Inflatable Pillow: https://alnk.to/7fstYkv Bottle Rocket by Gossamer Gear (shoulder strap pouch): https://alnk.to/btq0S3y Outdoor Vitals 1/8" Closed Cell Foam Pad: https://alnk.to/c09vB5i Sawyer filter and Cnoc 2L bladder: https://rei.pxf.io/nXzQ5M Soto Windmaster Stove: https://rei.pxf.io/3J3Nvn Toaks Pot (750ml): https://rei.pxf.io/MA1L7n Toaks Long Handled Spork: https://rei.pxf.io/VxqKqa Nitecore Power Bank: https://alnk.to/cwTMxN0 Gerber Dime: https://rei.pxf.io/XmDRP4 LuminAID String Lights: https://rei.pxf.io/WymzjG Kula Cloth: https://alnk.to/2jPgvsQ Garmin InReach Mini 2: https://rei.pxf.io/DyrN7a Astral NoSoBo Shoes: https://alnk.to/cb6waIX SamBob Pride Hoodie: ​​https://alnk.to/31uiqMQ Stio Pinedale Pants: https://glnk.io/8049/mirandagoesoutside5av Pagosa Fireside Camp Slippers: https://rei.pxf.io/PO3gLX Some of the above links are affiliate links.
