New Zealand never ceases to be a source of inspiration for adventure, as you’ll see in this video. It features filmmaker, writer, and adventurer Hank Leukart as he sets out to trek across the country on foot and using a packraft. As you’ll see in the clip, like many of us, Hank got his inspiration for exploration from classic adventure films, and he gets all of the challenges he expects, and more, on this journey. This is part 1 of that journey, with Hank paddling in the Marlborough Sounds from Ship Cove to Ratimera Bay. If you like what you see, you can follow his YouTube channel for more video.
