During 2017/2018 the NZ Mountain Safety Council (MSC) developed a series of track-specific tramping videos.
The purpose of the video series was to provide a specific planning resource that could be used in the ‘active trip-planning’ phase of trip preparations. The videos aimed to provide highly engaging content utilising techniques such as animations, 3D mapping and drone footage.
Each video focuses on content relevant to that track. They cover topics such as the terrain, key weather factors to consider, walking times, key decision making points, common risks and hazards as well as any specific skills required to safely navigate a particular section/s of the track. Ultimately the videos aim to help trampers make it home safely.
This publication provides a detailed account of the video-based prevention initiative. It has been developed specifically to showcase the key elements which were critical to the success of this video series
