ANDREAS, 42
Having grown up in Sweden, Andreas is no stranger to the cold! But the punishing rain and humidity of New Zealand’s South Island (Aotearoa’s Te Waipounamu) will present new challenges for this city-based personal trainer and subsistence hunter. “I’m confident my body can handle this,” insists Andreas.
Since he moved to Australia, Andreas has dedicated years to becoming an educated and skilled ethical hunter.
