 Due to the remoteness of some of New Zealand's untamed landscapes, the crew carried survival kits in case helicopters could not reach the locations to bring them home in time.The first scene filmed was the "Wooded Road" sequence in "The Fellowship of the Ring", where the Hobbits hide beneath a tree from a mounted Ringwraith.The focus was generally on "The Fellowship of the Ring" when the Hobbits try to reach Rivendell, such as a single night in Bree exteriors; this was done with the hopes that the four actors playing the hobbits would bond.
