Place names in NZ can be pretty random. I do believe the real Texas is mostly flatter than this.

I'll try next time. Here's tonight's place to rest the head you can see my camper aka 'recreational vehicle' in the distance.

Some of the bigger more popular, often a bit more fancy tramping huts (not this old classic one ) have an online booking system to prevent overcrowding and people missing out on bunks. But I don't think that's what you really meant... Edit: the real well known " must do" tracks like the Milford...

Lake Sarah, Canterbury high country. Cass railway station looks pretty much the same as in a famous painting by Rita Angus.

Bealey hut is an old classic basic sheep musterer hut. Up until 1978 they grazed 6000 sheep up here, now it's a tramping hut or as you Yankee folks would say, hiking hut. 6 bunks, very old school. View from the back of camper van right now.

Up in the hills again. Walk up to Bealey spur hut Arthur's pass national park. 10/10 day for it I'd say.

Great video Dan, great to see your videos again and you are ripping it! Noice!

@Chuck D. Bones yup limestone and yes just been over the hill to Christchurch and back. Castle hill is about 1hour 15min drive from our place. https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/canterbury/places/kura-tawhiti-castle-hill/ Another one from the trip: Rain forest this side of...

More limestone formation pics.

Aptly named Castle Hill on Arthur's pass.

Spring is here (NZ that is...)

Classy! How do you like the sound? What would you compare it too?

Epic builds! Thanks for the write ups! What a difference the bias diode orientation can make...

Cheers. No, I don't have a bass. Maybe someone else who built it and has a bass could chime in

Here's my incarnation. I have never gelled with compressors so far, maybe with the exception of the Orange Squeezer, which to me was more a loose boost with character rather than a classic compressor. This one might sway things different for me, it works great and I will live in the lower range...

Celestial engineering indeed! What an asset to have you wrangling circuits around here!

Thanks but I don't want to step on anyone's toes and leave that to @Robert and @szukalski / sheepylove to get around doing the pcb sales, they also do the usual ppcb layout I/O etc. Apart from that I live in a far away land downunder (not OZ, that's the West Island) that has shipping prices...

Wild stories, great times!

Yes, very nice grind box, strong essence of Marshall goodness. Here's my boxed up version, sounds great already and I still have to spend some time tweaking the trimmers to where they tickle my setup the sweetest. Germanium diodes are Mullard OA6. Nice. Thanks to @Chuck D. Bones and @HamishR...

Vintage Chuck! Amazing! What did I do in 1976.... heck...
