Hi everyone, I’m Christan Long!
I am an adventure traveler who grew up as a part of The Long Family of Gorge River. We are the most isolated family in New Zealand. We live 2 days walk from the nearest road on the South Island West Coast, between Haast and Milford Sound.
In this video, I will talk about my autobiography titled "The Boy From Gorge River". A quite self-explanatory title about my life growing up in isolation and where that took me in the world. In this video, you will see the front and back cover of the book for the first time. Anyone who leaves a comment on this video will go into the draw to win a free copy!

It’s now possible to pre-order your signed copy of "The Boy From Gorge River" on my website. I will do my best to get them out to you sometime around when the book will be published, at the end of March, beginning of April 2022. So in a couple of months.
Let’s give you a short brief about the book -
The story of how an extraordinary childhood shaped an extraordinary life. On the West Coast of the South Island, past deep fjords and snow-capped mountains, Chris Long grew up two days’ hike from the nearest road. He was born into the country’s most isolated family, his parents committed to freedom from capitalist society and connection to the natural world.
In this inspiring memoir, Chris describes a childhood with nature on his doorstep – helping his father catch crayfish and his mother grow vegetables, playing with toys crafted from driftwood and jade, and learning to live in the wild – until, in his teenage years, he began to wonder: could he survive in the wider world?
