First time poster long time time lerker Just got back from 4 days in the South Island of NZ. Camping was good, although Lewis Pass was MIGHTY cold and damp. Kaikoura https://www.google.co.nz/maps/place...X9UDaYQ_BIIejAK    shitttt I wish I was back there already! Deer Valley (Lewis Pass) https://www.google.co.nz/maps/place...3!4d172.4?hl=en    Spent about 2 hours trying to light the fire but ALL the wood I could find was just so soaked from the humidity. until next time keep the fire burning ya'll!  toot toot! lol

haha yeah I cheaped out because I didn't want to drop the $ on a pannier frame - when stones and gravel etc gets in between the back-pad and the exhaust it scratches it up something awful but I really don't give a gently caress

I gotta stay away from fireboxes etc, as most of the places I camp are in Fire-ban territory :/ Recently I've been using a standard butane / propane burner, but it's freakin' loud when going, and the canisters are larger than i'd like... SO i just ordered a Trangia Stormcooker set; http://www.equipoutdoors.co.nz/contents/en-us/p1716_Trangia_Stormcooker_Set_Series_25_Ultra_Light_Hard_Anodised.html Anyone got one of these badboys? Running on meths is super handy, can just take a hipflask for fuel, and being able to cook in exposed places is also a plus. Also, does anyone have any suggestions on camping / survival axes / hatchets? I'm really keen to find something about 30-40cm long with a hammerhead on the back of the cutting edge? Bonus points for any sort of firestriker or saw blade functionality? Picked up a KTM ADV 990 (2007) about 2 weeks ago, so I foresee a whole lot more motocamping in my future!

Looks like a good time man! No tents though? What about mozzies down by the water? Not so much of a problem up your ways I take it! Hallvard seems like a pretty bad rear end dude! Funny they were dealing with the same problems back then that we still are (foreign tax collection which doesn't benefit the locals so much as prop up the already wealthy)
