WINTER CAMPING - Two Nights - Snow and Heavy Rain

[@dianalee4312]

I don’t know what it is about watching you doing these camps that fascinates me so much. The scenery, the cooking, the weather, the sounds, your commentary, the set up, watching you build the wood pile and then the fire, how the extreme weather makes you happy, and I really love those birds and your never ending battle to stop them pinching your food. Plus the added extra, I did not know they make that cute chucking noise! Love your work.

[@Woodlanders74camps]

@dianalee4312 yes, I agree, I love making my own videos as well but I enjoy others more.

[@jlucasound]

All of the "Above"!! 😆😃

[@Ronald-m9w9y]

Watching your camping video is a great way to relax at the end of the day. Thank you sir

[@opossum633]

Love how these birds are coming around - just looking whats up and getting warm...and bye :D This is nature at its best. Nice video dude !

[@ellenados804]

Definitely the wood cutting and the editing of the wood cutting is your signature move. Love it!

[@zinjx]

Two Nights Video!....yeah, now we're talking. Beautiful lake with a fantastic view, I would fish all day long in that lake. Thanks for a great camp trip Able. PS I'm still working my way through your back catalogue, very good stuff.

[@anniejones1839]

Much more interesting than summer camps, the soothing sounds of rain or snow on the tarp/tent. You surely challenge yourself taking and no risks. Chopping wood is so calming, at one with mother nature, giving much needed warmth. Dunking bikkies in tea is a must 👌

[@clowd9931]

Geesh these videos don’t hit America till 3 days later. I read the comments, and folks have posted on this days ago. I always look forward to your outings. They are absolutely rustically superb. Everything you do for prepping makes me want to do the same thing. Mate you do such a great job. Thanks for sharing. Cheers mate from the across the pond of USA.

[@erinhenry9750]

That's just members only I believe 🙂

[@KDot_6]

🤯 I never realized that

[@ianmillard7563]

Thanks for another awesome camp Abel. I do like the extended 2 night camps and I also wouldn't mind seeing another hot tent camp again. But whichever you choose mate, I'll be watching. Regards to Victoria and hope the pregnancy is going well.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Hey cheers mate. Looks like some good conditions are coming for the weekend. Still hoping for a proper snow dump. Victoria is doing great

[@bjcrh8448]

Thanks for another great camp. Loved the shot of the mountains. Relaxing.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Cheers.

[@the_ghost8262]

Great video and camp! Your camping videos are so calming with the rain and the snow. They are so relaxing to watch when trying to wind down for bed. Keep up the excellent camping

[@chrislacour7330]

Nice to see you back. Your winter is a refreshing view as my Arizona summer rages on.

[@theythinkitsallrover8106]

Came for weka, got 2!!!! Awesome! Great video. Love the extended camps.

[@Derek-t9h]

That's what I call camping, awesome fire, tasty food and toughing the elements 👍

[@bettyjanssen589]

Even with some of the hardships that you have to endure, it's just so relaxing watching you tackle the elements, love your videos!!

[@saintratty7855]

I just love the peace and quiet with the sound of the rain. Love your videos

[@teresarose731]

Beautiful. Loved the rainbows and wickers.

[@anne-marieturner6762]

Great video Abel. Give Victoria a big hug from us all. Xxx x

[@NewWildBeauty]

The tent is very sturdy, hope it can block the cold wind and heavy rain. Wish you always safe and make more great videos..Thanks

[@ironalan2783]

i like these chickens around you, and the sounds they make

[@AbelandVictoria]

Their little clucking sound is nice

[@krisk4513]

Are they wild?

[@HikingWithShawn]

The birds really crack me up. They seem to follow you around LOL

[@mrfrost663]

That camping table is pretty cool.

[@abdullaalsaudi6288]

Wow.. wonderful.. beautiful atmosphere and awesome photography.. thanks man.

[@harbinger8208]

I was laughing at the determination of the Wickers.

[@oliversheltonagar2805]

Those dang Wickers 😂

[@liamcasey1580]

This is a man who appreciates his food

[@barbz3842]

I’m here for the tent, food and fire. You didn’t disappoint! Awesome camp 👌🏼

[@kasiryewilliam2069]

Am in love with that hot dog stuff 😂😂 watching from uganda much love mate ✊

[@VickyNowak]

The soggy biscuit comment and your sneaky smirk had me chuckling lol. Great video Abel. Love your videos, especially the wood chopping and the yummy meals. I’m hungry now!!!

[@charmaynemcnaughton669]

I've started playing a drinking game everytime i watch your videos! .... See a weka, take a drink!

[@scottvann4267]

That's an excellent meal at home, much less camping. Great job Able say hello, to Victoria and her baby❤ Everybody's wishing you all the best.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thank you 😊

[@londo64]

Love it Abel! Inspiring me to go camping in the woods now

[@tugboat8475]

Your food looks amazing!. I can't wait till winter finishes to get out and about again.

[@hinrichspartners3281]

What a fantastic 2 night camp Abel. Really fun to experience the 2 nighter. Fantastic Salmon and Hot dog dinners. Always love the hot dogs. Appreciate the video a lot. Best regards to Victoria and the pregnancy for you two!! Thanks as always Abel!!

[@sffpv9671]

Always love coming along on these camps. Nothing worse than a soggy biscuit! 🤣

[@skmarrama]

I'm laughing Abel! I'm looking at the Wickers showing interest in your food and thinking, you may need to hang it from a tree like we did in Alaska / Canada to keep it away from the bears! it's nice to see a 2 day camp, although I'm sure Victoria is missing you. I hope she is doing well in her pregnancy. It won't be long before you'll be holding that little baby in your arms. New Zealand is just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your bit of the world with us.

[@wolfpack514]

another great camping trip for me to enjoy. thank you for allowing us to watch another great camp. Be safe you and your family. 🤪🤪

[@AbelandVictoria]

That’s for watching and supporting the channel 😀

[@ndlloyd]

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

[@stevenwells9606]

Cabins are cool. It’s really nice to see what’s it’s like there since I’ve never been to New Zealand. I’ve learned a lot about it from this channel. Thanks from the States.

[@AbelandVictoria]

I’ll do another cabin shelter soon

[@eutenka1772]

Bonfires is one of the reason i love watching your videos 🔥🔥🔥

[@Mhel2023]

Love how you're generous with the cream in your coffee and tea ☕

[@on3orafter]

All the equipment and the birds are just chilling

[@palmavista11]

Hi there Able, great to have you back, and my regards and wishes for victoria. Hope all is well. ❤

[@AbelandVictoria]

Hey thanks. Everything is good 👍

[@teresarose731]

How much longer on the baby?

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@teresarose731 maybe 6 weeks

[@SreetamaPaulChoudhury]

Wow, what an incredible adventure! You both are so brave to take on the challenge of winter camping in the snow and heavy rain. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, and your spirits are even more so! Love how you share your experiences, tips, and laughter with us. Keep exploring and inspiring us to get out of our comfort zones!

[@GauguaUvaiva]

The scenery is beautiful. Thank you for your work, bringing us a great camp.

[@nanachick05]

It was 97°F/36°C today, this makes me feel so much cooler! I needed this. 😂

[@mawmawvee]

I love to watch how you edit your wood processing in your videos. 🥰😁❤ The Wikkas don't seem to be afraid of the fire! They're cute little birds. Those birds remind me of someone walking around with his hands in his pockets, in a pensive mood. They're so cute!

[@erinhenry9750]

Great 2niter, wish I could find me one of you! ❤from Michigan

[@kathymurphy7217]

The high country is just magical. Love how you edit Abel .. great work!

[@krystaogletree826]

I loved seeing you on AB camping ⛺️ Best of luck to you guys.

[@oliversheltonagar2805]

A and V! For the last several months, as a Wellington boy (and ex chef) living in HCM city sprawl for a decade, your videos have been the nightly pre-sleep relaxation ritual for my wife and I (Ollie and Trinh). We love you guys! So entertaining, familiar and a slice of home, and encouragement for us to get back home asap. We will come and say hi some day in person one day soon! ❤

[@jenjonnybravo]

I'm glad you found the fast forward edit button in youtube - makes an ADHD person like me easier to watch your videos! Keep up the excellent camping! Salmon looked absolutely delicious!

[@Virgolife44]

Leave this man alone in sure most of you have never even left the house lol ❤

[@terrellmcgee5980]

I love how u was cutting the wood 🪵 that was good

[@jimpov9494]

Another great video and a double whammer. Im On a family holiday, and this popped up as i was back from the kids entertainment, praise the lord 😂. Look forward to the next one 👌🏼

[@joelmangos7411]

Fantastic camp Abel, stoked the weather was stirling. I was thinking, I haven't seen you in a big set up type camp. The one we'll deserved after a cluster of wild camps in the diabolical elements. Go remote, get a table and light a fire pit and wet the whistle mate. Those are my thoughts after you asking what we reckon for a next trip. What your next adventure is, we will love mate. Joel.

[@carolleeschick]

Thx for another great idea. Always great to see you out in nature. Love the way you attack the wood for the fire. I have a idea for you to try sometime with your hotdogs. Try adding a couple of slices of jalapeño cheese to each. I love it. It's adds a nice creamy bite to it. Can't wait to see Victoria back in a video.

[@allywebb87]

Another brilliant video abel, always enjoy seeing when the weka makes an appearance, love how you edit the chopping of the wood, if only it was that quick in real life lol, keep up the awesome videos mate, hope you and Victoria are keeping well, also wouldn't mind seeing another hot tent camp again, whatever you decide next I'm here for it 👍🏻

[@AbelandVictoria]

Haha yeah the wood cutting its a full body work out. Thanks

[@DReynolds3]

I’m new to you, Abel, but loving enjoying your videos - shots of the fire, shots of tent from afar with puddles and rain, best might be the fabulous cutting of long trees into pieces - edit king!

[@beverleygibson1394]

Great viewing again Abel! As an idea for future videos, how about a vlog on how you prepare for your adventures, what safety gear you take along, that is, do you for example have a Garmin Inreach strapped to you in case of an emergency and to let your loved ones know you are okay. What phone signal do you have when up on the mountain? What first aid kit and do you have an emergency supplies in case of a major problem. I know you will have this covered as you are very experienced but it would be great to share your expertise. Also, do you have a spare set of dry, clean clothes ready to change into when you return to the wagon? I have had pneumonia 3 times due to not looking after myself in these conditions and would hate to think you should suffer the same fate.😢😮❤

[@josequintero3295]

Abel greetings from Colombia, what a good camp and as always with such beautiful landscapes. It is my favorite channel because of how authentic it shows the camping, I respect other modalities, with great inventions, vehicles and technology, but you practice the essence of this wonderful passion, congratulations...

[@frankmiata2322]

It is 30 Degrees Celsius in NYC. It is just wonderful to see you in snow and cold conditions. I loved the bacon sandwiches, hmmm.

[@jacmacsadventures]

Hey youtubes fav ginger… 😂 love it ! I need to get some carabiners for my tarp… my skills are ZERO when it comes to a tarp or any knot lol Cheers Abel … Hi Victoria hope you’re feeling good!

[@johnmccoy2721]

Great video! You just keep getting better at this.

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Thx again. Great camp. Funny watching winter vid here in the summer when it’s cold for 6 months

[@DeborahRichards-sr6mx]

lmao, I loved it when you said, whaa whaa whaa at the commenter about abusing your knife to split the wood. lol

[@richardroberts878]

Make it a challenge for the next vid...10 Hotdogs!!! Great content as always i like the cabin and hot tents

[@rogerquenault7207]

Thanks for another great video, I don’t mind what type of camping you do they all make great viewing.

[@denisefoxcroft8920]

Lol. Most campers have dogs and you have the faithful Wickers. I really enjoyed this video 😊.

[@DeborahRichards-sr6mx]

I sure hope you threw some scraps out for the Weka's. I think they are so cool and brave hovering around your campsite.

[@phuzzo1]

Watching you eat is surprisingly enjoyable. The gusto is so endearing.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Lol some people hate it. It’s apart of my Camp so I show the reality of the situation

[@phuzzo1]

@@AbelandVictoria Eating like a king out there is clearly part of the attraction. Definitely would look forward to that over scroggin and instant noodles.

[@natalie6862]

Hilarious the comments calling them “wicker” birds - I was so confused! But with the Kiwi accent, I guess that’s how it sounds. Brilliant video as always!

[@wendypacheco7438]

Missing Victoria!!! ❤ But I still love these videos. I live vicariously through you lol. Food is always great, that rice made me get up and make my own lol. 😊

[@greatsouthernoverland]

What a ripper camp Abel!! Such an amazing place. I grew up in NZ and miss it heaps, through your camps I can be back. Thanks mate be safe

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy them 👍

[@lesliedavis2185]

Beehive bacon sangers, can’t go wrong. Those wekas are cheeky birds, but yes they are wil birds so best not to feed them. Loving your multi purpose kindling knife.

Another wonderful camp as always! The hot dogs looked great but I must say I miss seeing the wagu burgers lol! Thanks for putting out such wonderful videos! Hope Victoria is doing well!

[@Tinytraveler]

I had a hot day in Canada, you can so easily forget that across the world its winter time. Really enjoyed this episode. Hot chocolate in a cozy tent is the best, wishing you the best from Thunder Bay!

[@mrjason5626]

As usual cool videos 👍🏼 these lucifer things are perfect for making a campfire 🔥

[@angelalee7012]

Aww, weka re like a cute version of the Australian Ibis

Two nights is good, gives you time to get settled and relaxed. Six hot dogs were epic, I wanted one really bad! A great camp, excellent editing , well done.

Hi to you both.I enjoyed your camp.Those bloody Wekas.!!Watching from Tassie.Unseasonably warm here too.I like the camps in shelters too.

[@rachelfogarty4786]

You're right about the lack of snow. I was just thinking about all your previous years' snowy videos and this year....bugger all. Crazy. Still, I'll watch them all anyway, summer or winter, don't care. I bought Hobnobs the other day. Awesome biscuit for sure!

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah makes me sad. Looks like Sunday/Monday will be cold but probably not that much moisture for that sweet snow dump. Regardless I’ll be there hoping lol.

[@carolinej.595]

Yo, Abel & Victoria! Watching your very own New Zealand band Balu Brigade play live in Portland, Oregon! You rock. My husband and I look forward to your fun camping trips ❤

Darn autocorrect. Balu Brigada 😅

[@carolinej.595]

Oh, and we always wonder whether you feel safe camping out in the wilderness. What sorts of precautions do you take? Besides the little peaky beasties trying to steal your food 😂

[@colinwaldron7399]

Your winter down there has been a bit like our summer in Scotland this year... You've had more rain than snow, and we've had more rain than sun. Now that the sun is getting lower in the sky, hopefully you'll be seeing some sunny weather soon. I do like your winter camping adventures though, and I always enjoy your videos. Thanks Abel.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah not ideal. This weekend though we have a proper cold blast so hopefully I can camp out in 20cm or so snow fall
