and here we see the advanced primate using a tool new shelter
and it seems like the primate has injured himself and will be making a claim on acc
begins the 32 kilometers of gravel roads to mavora lake
so
it's a bit annoying because i have like look at these jagged pins that we need
to use to tie down the tent it's really windy i don't have a hammer i usually just
kind of kick the pins in using my foot the ground is a bit rocky and tough so i think i might need
something else i'm going to see if i can find a rock maybe i could use that to hammer in these
pegs there's a beach right there so there must be a rock that i could use here we go perfect
it i feel like the monkeys from uh 2001 space odyssey you know where they're just like
we got blankets we got our sleeping bags we got our air mattress i think we'll be all
right for tonight it's gonna be cold but not that cold seven degrees is the the temperature
overnight we've slept outside when it was two degrees up in tongariro uh we just got to watch
out for these little here i don't know if you can see it the sand fly being right next to the
lake as we learned with moak lake sand flies are very fond of this area a lord of the rings
filming location we use a lot of scenic shots it seems i know in the fellowship of the ring
you see them going down the anduin river on their kayaks and then they kind of camp for the night on
one of the the the shores at night and then the orcs right mary and pippen yeah so i smell them
aragorn is like chuck norris he can just smell things and he knows exactly what it is
just like moak lake the most remote camping sites we've been to no service
the plan was to do a short walk to the filming look
i just ate a granola bar and some peanuts got stuck in my throat
as i was saying the plan was to walk about 10 minutes up towards the end of that road to a lord
of the rings filming location it's the location from the fellowship of the ring frodo is in the
boat and he's like this i'm leaving and he starts to go on the boat and sam's like no mr frodo
what are you doing mr frodo you can't leave so he starts to walk into the water and it's
like you don't know how to swim it's getting deeper getting deeper but sam keeps walking
and walking and guess what happens he starts to drown apparently they filmed that scene
just down the road over there but as you can see it's uh raining so we're just
gonna wait out this rain cloud lane check the forecast and it's not supposed to rain
that much so fingers crossed it stops soon looks like our tent is wet inside
typical new zealand weather it's pissing rain one second and then
here comes the sun sun's coming out okay just as quickly as it went from sunny to rainy
to sunny now it's gonna go back to rain because i think those clouds are coming in
where are the mountains they literally disappeared they are gone
i don't think it's gonna happen today it's nice to just hang out in pony nice to hang out in pune
well so far that rainbow's pretty cool and literally three seconds all of a sudden the hills
reappear so i think we'll be good to go so here's the gravel parking lot it says get out of your car
and walk along the rocky beach the beach you're standing on is where frodo leaves the fellowship
and save sam from drowning because homeboy was so obsessed with frodo
if out of the three movies i've seen the fellowship most times i do recall this gravel
gravel beach here and these trees and all of that yeah this looks it's very familiar this has to be
time so that's what twice no no at least three or four they already got bit by sandpaper
where is it right there there's like two little red spots yeah
sand fly bites this is for sure the beach i just don't know the exact spot but the water is kind
of shallow so when sam was walking in it had to be shallow enough that you could get the sense that
it was getting deeper and deeper and deeper right there carved into the uh into the trees
you see how it kind of has like a alopecia spot that looks like a key
yeah this has to be it
it stays pretty shallow i'm about like maybe 10 15 feet out so this this is
it was raining periodically throughout the night last night this is what happens when
you buy a tent from warehouse entire foot of my sleeping bag completely soaked look at this
water a little puddle here water water water luckily only my sleeping bag got
wet my clothes are fine legs clothes are okay this side was dry this is just soaked
through it's amazing i didn't wake up with wet cold feet oh well that's camping for you
we're trying to locate the location where aragord comes out of the fangorn forest
apparently these trees here uh delidiate the edge of the forest and mavora lake and this
so this is supposed to be fanguard forest is that right i think so
it doesn't help that we don't know the scene world's worst lord of the rings
okay let's go good idea the bridge only one person at a time it says
this is the sketchiest looking bridge i've seen in new zealand so far
the structural integrity of this thing makes me very very nervous i'm really trusting you bridge
i really am oh this part broke
i don't like what it shakes
i don't know how ling's gonna get across this thing this thing is really shaky
spider web your turn
almost there love you got this you're panicking it's all on the inside i was because i noticed
that some spots were rusty yeah and some of the fencing was coming off i think if it was
any other country other than new zealand like the philippines i would not go like
the philippines yeah just because you know that they're so big on health and safety here oh yeah
there's no negligence with this this sort of thing definitely not in the country like navy oh my god
