Building a Hut on Top of a Mountain in New Zealand

Video Description

We are building a Backcountry Hut on top of a mountain in New Zealand’s South Island. The new Brass Monkey Bivvy is located in the middle of the Lewis Pass, a 6-7 hour walk up from Maruia Hot Springs. Located on the main divide, a mountain saddle where the rivers flow west one way and east the other, its windy! In this episode we haul all of our tools up via helicopter and spend 5 days building a hut that will be open to the public soon! If you are interested in donating to help the team restore huts across New Zealand, check out the Backcountry Trust website here: https://www.backcountrytrust.org.nz/donate.html Even a small donation helps!
