Take a sheep along and barter for you life when you see people making loud strange gestures and noises at you! Otherwise, take a quick self-defense class and/or take me along and I'll protect you with my New Ray-gun! ;-) ...Have Fun - you've got one life to live; make the best of it.
P.S. Your backpack better be light but still come equipped with all kinds of emergency items, including but not limited to the following: a basic medical kit specially for treating foot problems, insect bites, fever, etc., wearable anti-insect net/accessories, a decent hat, matches in a zip-lock plastic bag, a good lens, bug spray, sun screen lotion, maps, a good compos, GPS, emergency local telephone numbers and contacts, layer clothing, operable cell phone, money stashed in hidden places (and on your person too), emergency energy bars and dried soups/food, a nice compact military-style metal cooking set (pots, pans, cups and utensils), a second good/comfortable pair of boots (better than shoes against possible snake bite scenarios), at the very least a good camping knife, some pepper spray for self-defense, a set of binoculars, a decent digital camera, some pictures of home and loved ones, a note indicating who to contact in case of an emergency, an overall emergency plan, the book that you've always wanted to read but never found the time to, some additional water for emergencies, a small sewing kit, additional sunglasses, a good insurance policy that covers overseas emergency situations and expenses, a book on survival strategies in the wild, a pen and some paper, a large piece of tough and impermeable plastic sheet, a great state-of-the- art sleeping bag, a loud noise-maker, a good whistle, some light but tough rope, a miniature fishing apparatus and lure, a great flash light, and a whole bunch of courage. I hope something I said here would end up saving your life in an emergency! Good Luck! |

Depends on where your going in NZ
Stealin things from backpackers at tourist spots is common so MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS HAVE YOUR GEAR IN SIGHT
go to places like rotorua, taupo, bay of islands, queenstown, kaikoura, wellington.
Stay too tourist bars as there are more people do the same thing as you
Kiwipacker is alway fun to do
What are you into since I don't know I can't tell you much more then that |
