Route guide to Ranger Bivouac in the Arthurs Pass region of the Southern Alps of New Zealand; welcome to Backcountry Bivs. We set off on a weekend hunt up to Ranger Biv above the Poulter River.
New Zealand is home to a unique network of public huts and bivouacs scattered across our large amount of public land. Some of these huts are very popular, seeing plenty of outdoors enthusiasts keen to explore and enjoy our beautiful backcountry. But some of these huts and bivs are a bit harder to reach - they don't see many people and require a well planned trip and a few days to reach. The purpose of this series is to explore into these hidden gems, showing you how to get there, what issues you might encounter and how long you'll need to make the trip. As well as showcasing our adventures along the way. Sit back and enjoy, and please consider subscribing if you enjoy the content.

GIVEAWAY details:
In this episode we are giving away a Ledlenser HF6R core headtorch. A good headtorch is a game changer in the mountains. More often than not we end up late back to camp as we want to squeeze all the daylight we can out of an evening hunt. Ledlensers give us the confidence to stay out longer knowing we'll be able to find our way home.
To get in the draw spot the codeword during the video and head over to our social media accounts linked below and comment the codeword on the giveaway post from Monday the 29th of January. You'll see a photo of the headtorch in the post.
From there, like or follow our page and LedlenserNZ and you're in the draw to win!

Good to see this biv and our track up to it publicised in your video. Thanks for the kind words on the state of the track. Back in the day DoC were keen to remove the biv but Frank and I had a meeting with them and persuaded them to leave it in place. Craig Benbow, Paul Reid and one other flew in and did some much overdue reno on the biv in July 2023. We visited it in Jan 2024 and were pleased with how easy the track has remained to follow. We only needed to be a bit of snipping, thanks to all the contributions of track work from others going up. If you're grateful to have these bivs you can either volunteer with the Back Country Fund, Permolat or do work independently as Frank and I do. These two organisations also accept donations to fund their volunteer work.

That new Casey hut is flash and in a better spot, went in for a look a couple winters ago, the old one was a nice Lockwood until it burnt down, those old bivs are cool, be good if the backcountry trust or DOC would give it a tidy up, be worth spending a couple days looking around up there in Feb

Yeah it's a nice hut! We spoke to DoC about it, sounds like they don't have the funding to maintain all of the old deer cullers huts. They've handed a lot of it over to groups like permolat, backcountry trust and any local groups that want to look after them. Shows the value that these groups offer 👍

Just found your channel this last week. I'm a fair bit older than you lads but hoping to get out there (Canterbury) with my little fella nonetheless, if my knee holds up (skydiving injury). Totally jealous of your exploits! You may have mentioned in a previous video that maybe I haven't yet found, but what rifle, caliber, scope and ammo are you using? I'm just in the process of applying for a FAL and will be hopefully hunting in a year or two. Got a whole heap to learn. Good work lads, keep 'em coming, and thank you.

Hey mate, we've all owned and used a .308 (two of us have a Tikka t3 and one sako a7). Been shooting 150g game heads on those, great for all our big game out to about 300 meters. Had a Leopold 3x9 on it, but recently upgraded to a vortex 3x15. We also have a Hardy Rifles .300 prc for longer range hunting, very nice gun 👍

It's not an option to have the hip belt undone when crossing a river as the pack could slide up and push you under.
