I have the use of a 1.7 tonne digger witch is ideal for a rough trail but the use of some extra hands for fine tuneing and line picking, the trail grade is yet to be decided but decently going to have a few sketchy sections.there is also 2cats /2 pet pigs /2 dogs / and gold fish who are all pretty cool

We will try to live off the land as much as possible but still be supported by the supermarket if need be.I enjoy cooking up a feed so won't let you go hungry also I think it's only fair that I supply a few beers.
Sleeping is up too you as there is a few choices witch include
•.small cabin with a bathroom and small kitchen
•.caravan beside the garden •tent on the beach or in the bush
•build a shelter in the bush (have a few supplies )What else ...
There will deffently be a good work life balance as the goal is to enjoy life and this experience 100%of the time. Besides work there is so much sight seeing and leisure activities to do in the region . Nelson offersworld class mountain biking and hiking I my self haven't done a fraction of what can be done.
the department of conservation walks are awesome heaphy track ( 4day hike ) and able Tasman ( another 4 day hike ). I will take you fishing and collecting other sea food . There is countless activities to do so please inquire.A little more information
