    In the world of adventure sports, where every gram is scrutinised, ultralight tramping and hiking have emerged as the go-to strategy for those who value efficiency over excess. But how did this minimalist movement start, why is it so popular, and what innovations are fueling its rise?

    The Birth of a Featherweight Revolution

    Ultralight tramping didn’t spring up overnight. Its roots trace back to long-distance hikers and mountaineers who realised that lighter packs meant faster travel, more energy, and, ultimately, a more enjoyable experience. Early pioneers in the 1980s began experimenting with stripping down their gear to the essentials. The goal? To carry no more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg) in their packs, excluding food and water. - full story follow the Bio @kiwiultralight #ultralightbackpacking #purenewzealand #tramping #trampingnewzealand

    In a recent incident at Joshua Tree National Park, two German tourists are now facing serious consequences after being caught vandalizing the park’s property. The National Parks Service (NPS) reported that the pair admitted to using slingshots and a paintball gun to splatter yellow paint on various structures and signs within the park.

    It all began on the morning of August 4, when a park ranger noticed fresh paintball markings during routine rounds. A deeper investigation led to the discovery of a vehicle with a slingshot in plain sight. Upon questioning, the tourists confessed to their misdeeds, leading rangers to confiscate several slingshots, a paintball gun, paintballs, and other related gear.
    -
    “Defacing the park is not just illegal; it’s a direct assault on the natural beauty that millions travel from around the world to experience,” said Jeff Filosa, the park’s
    acting chief ranger.
    -
    The NPS has made it clear that vandalism of any kind is a serious offence, with penalties reaching up to $5,000 in fines and six months behind bars.

    Air NZ flights has soared up to 300% in the past 5 years✈️
    onsumer NZ finds the cost of some Air NZ flights has soared up to 300% in the past 5 years

    Consumer compared fares for 11 Air New Zealand flights in 2023 and 2024 with fares for equivalent flights taken from 2019 to 2021, and found all flights, bar one, were more expensive 3 or 4 years later. Price increases varied between 34% and 297%.

    Abby Damen, communications and campaigns adviser at Consumer says this steep increase in the cost of flying is a hard pill for New Zealanders to swallow when domestic flight options are already so limited in Aotearoa.
    “It’s not great news if the only travel option you have is to fly. It’s no surprise that New Zealand consumers are questioning how and why flight prices have increased so much over the past few years.”
    The cost of flying is sky high!

    “Rawdogging,”
    It does not sound good does it 😲

    Ready for the ultimate in-flight endurance challenge?
    It is not the mile-high club;
    TikTok’s newest travel trend, “Rawdogging,” demands you fly without any form of entertainment or distraction. Enduring a long-haul flight without movies, music, sleep, snacks, or even bathroom breaks. It’s the ultimate test of mental fortitude.
    This extreme trend, inspired by the Apple TV+ series Hijack starring Idris Elba, which has passengers challenging themselves to see how long they can last without comfort. In the show, Elba’s character Sam endures a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London after criminals hijack the plane, adopting a stoic, distraction-free approach. This is the essence of rawdogging: enduring the journey with nothing but your thoughts. - image Instagram- full story www.adventuremagazine.co.nz #rawdogging #idriselba @idriselba

    Not all TicTok travel hacks are created equal
    Most travellers understand that Instagram often paints an unrealistic picture of travel and not all suggested travel hacks actually work.

    One such hack is the pillowcase trick. It became widely popular in 2021 after a TikTok video by Anya Lakovlieva went viral. In the video, titled “The best travel hack ever – pillow flies for free,” Lakovlieva demonstrates how to stuff a pillowcase with clothes and place it on top of her suitcase, effectively adding extra luggage.

    According to TikTok users, the packing tip is to hide clothes in a pillowcase to avoid paying for an extra carry-on bag. It was assumed that because a cushion is used for comfort, it would not be considered as baggage.

    Despite its popularity, not everyone found success with this trick. At Orlando Airport, a man faced issues with the police after attempting to use this method to sneak items onto a flight. A TikTok video posted by @natashaorganic on June 5 captures the tense situation, showing the man arguing with airport staff before being escorted away by Orlando Police.
