Why Can't I Camp Out?

It's not just because they're a bunch of tree-huggers down there. In the places where it's flat enough to camp the ground is incredibly wet even on the mountaintops. In the wooded areas the ground is a twisted tangle of roots and seldom offers enough space. And to top it all off, anywhere there is water there are sandflies that will bite you into submission. It's no accident there are over 900 huts in New Zealand. It's definitely the way to go.
