From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

It was a whole lot of pun. For one of them, at least.

While on a hiking trip in New Zealand, one man pursued his long-suffering girlfriend cracking nature-themed puns for the entire trip.

In the video he asks if she wants him to "branch out", tells her "I could be your fern-tasy", and, as the couple approaches a dam, quips "Damn, girl, you fine."

At one point he asks "Are you loving the atmosphere?"

There is a pause before his girlfriend, whose name appears to be Evie, asks: "Moss?"

He conceds it was a pun about moss.

The video is reminiscent of another popular online video in which a guy, forced to go to Ikea with his girlfriend, spends the time making puns based on the names of various items sold by the Swedish homeware chain.
