Heavy Rain and Thunder Storms - Winter Hot Tent Camping in Terrible campsite

[@jonnymorpeth6520]

I don’t know what kind of Englishman told you that we like tea like that. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@WelshEnZo]

I know right 😂 mines just a dash of milk, nice and dark 😂

[@XxanderBlack]

Agreed, I want the tea as dark as my soul if I have a splash of mlk.

[@clarec322]

anaemic tea 😂....I'd prefer mine with more of a tan 👌

[@haran666]

I leave my teabag in hot water for 2 mins. Not much milk perfect cuppa 😊

Nice to see Victoria, again. I've missed her. All best wishes for the delivery of your new baby girl.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thank you. I will try get Victoria onto some videos going forward

[@long_view]

Ditto; also a great video. Compared to the bulky canvas tents I used in my youth, I am amazed how such large modern tents pack into such a small bag.

[@zoepatterson3643]

I'm English, and you have to have a strong builders cuppa lol . Waiting to hear news of your little bundle of joy ,a girl is a treasure .brill vid see you next time x

[@timoncheese]

Hahahahaha absolutely world-class trolling with the tea comment 😂 Please continue to increase the sass levels. Love it

[@joeponder9668]

Man watching lost lakes and Zander imagine how I feel living in Florida!!! I get like 9hrs of cold lol😂you 3 are my favorite channels!!!

[@ellenados804]

Victoria the camera loves you. You are beautiful inside and out. So nice to see you. We cant wait to see the little one.

[@ellenados804]

Oh ya the camera loves you too Abel 😁

[@geauxgrl6464]

Yea! Victoria is so radiant. Miss you bunches, Victoria. Wishing you a beautiful delivery of your baby girl. I'm so excited for you, both.

[@ianmillard7563]

Another Super Thanks for you Abel. A little muddy under foot mate and I imagine not the most pleasant camp for you, although you are in your element when the weather is at its worst. 4 cheeseburgers mate. I don't think even in my younger days that I could compete with you. It was so good to see and hear Victoria on the video after such a long absence. She is positively glowing in her pregnancy. Just a few weeks to go and your whole life will change. For the better I might add. Sons are great but daughters wrap their Dads around their little finger. And we wouldn't have it any other way. Great camp Abel and I'm not even mentioning your cup of tea. Looking forward to the next one.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thank you Ian appreciate the support. Yeah not long now I think we are mostly ready. Big stormy winds coming got to get the bag packed.

[@ianmillard7563]

@@AbelandVictoria try and stay out of the mud on this next one mate. A bit of forward planning before you pitch the tent. LOL. Cant wait to watch your efforts.

[@gemmaclark8209]

Jesus no no no!! You have been severely lied to!! We call the perfect tea “builders tea”. Strong!!! Leave the teabag for about a minute in the water and then a dash of milk. 👌🏻 perfect!

[@davidwest7362]

Different camp site for sure and I've experienced camping in the mud myself years ago. Glad to see Victoria and a glimpse of your kitchen! Hope all is well.

[@TheNatsuguri]

Well that was a muddy camp! As a Brit I can safely say tea should be stronger than that 😉 Good to see Victoria again, you are positively glowing! Great video!

[@peterdrew9393]

Abel, so many KZbin videos about camping are set in the Northern hemisphere where winter conditions can be severe, Your fellow kiwis and we aussies that follow you are delighted with what you do,. Pete. Melbourne. Aust.

Thanks

[@melaniepagel5521]

So nice to see Victoria!!❤ she looks fantastic!

[@spc3461]

Wow, what an intense camping experience! 🌧️❄️ Your resilience and determination in such harsh conditions are truly inspiring. The way you managed to set up camp, cook, and stay positive despite the heavy rain and snow showers is commendable. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us, Abel & Victoria! Can’t wait to see what you tackle next. Stay safe and keep exploring! 🏕️🔥

[@chrisgoddard4032]

So good to see and hear Victoria! Best of everything

Victoria you look wonderful. Many blessings for a safe and easy delivery!! ❤️

It is great to see Victoria ty for sharing

[@WendyLovegrove-m3v]

You look so good Victoria ❤ you two.are going to be great parents.Always love your videos Abel,you always seem to make it look.great and postive.❤

[@altclut]

I’m Scottish and I like pure darjeeling tea. It stays clear even if you infuse it for a long time. It’s a delicate tea.

[@MikeBanks2003]

Carry an earth clamp and an earth rod, and connect the clam to the rod when you have driven it into the ground outside the tent, and run the clamp from the rod to the stove inside. That chimney will make a fine lightning rod if you do not keep it discharged.

[@carolleeschick]

I really love to catch each of your videos as they come out. I do have a suggestion for you, when you think it's going be real wet or muddy you should put a layer of soft branches or brush down before your bedding. Trust me, it'll save you lots of misery. I hope it all works out better next time. I was very happy to see your wife. Even though she wasn't camping with you it was nice to see her. Hopefully her and the baby can do a short camp with you soon.

[@jayparker7701]

Well the Brit may say you have trouble making a spot of tea, but you really nailed those American cheeseburgers! Lol😂 Camp on mate!

You’re One of my favorite channels. Love all your content. It feels like a friend and Victoria makes it feel like family. Congratulations on all your blessings and keep the good times rolling!!!

[@jeffthomas5291]

Heavy rain is always comforting. I don't know why? Good channel Abel minus ruining a good strong cup of tea.

[@stephencollier665]

Nice to see Victoria again 😀

[@hinrichspartners3281]

Abel, you handled that campsite so well. That was such a muddy mess. It just gets on everything. But you handled it so well with 4 fantastic looking cheeseburgers for dinner and those fantastic pancakes for breakfast. Interesting when you described how those fronts come in one after another. Great to see Victoria!! Thanks for grinding through that campsite!!

[@FR-tb7xh]

That’s glamping compared to the summer and school break camping our family of four did in the 1960s and 70s, almost always enroute to some educational destination. Our tent was made of Army canvas which leaked at the seams, it always rained or sleeted, our sleeping bags got soaked and never dried out, and we didn’t have in-tent heat. Gortex, Velcro, and polar fleece hadn’t been invented. I don’t even remember raincoats or bug spray. With the exception of all the earwigs at daybreak, it was so much fun. Mom made fabulous shrimp curry with rice and beans and franks in a cast iron pan on a pit fire, and we inhaled the ocean breezes or forest clearing air.

[@lawrencelee2599]

I hope you continue to do hot tent camping….i really enjoy the coziness of the stove. I live in the PNW so rain is part of camping in this area so you learn to love i!

[@AbelandVictoria]

I will do more but we are heading into warmer weather so not really ideal

[@lawrencelee2599]

Yeah I just remembered our seasons are reversed…

[@michaelsullivan7183]

Yes it was so nice to see Victoria again . This trip ,,wow what weather a little of every thing !!!

[@barbaraurban9824]

That's why they make tents with bath tub floors or any style floor. I was surprisee to see such a large tent not have a floor.

[@prestonsmith3984]

That's what I thought when I saw that tent without a floor. Inexplicable!

[@Glyn69]

Great video, and it's good to see Victoria and get updates on your fabulous life in NZ . The weather is so changeable, similar to how I remember it in the UK Have a great week, and I look forward to your next adventure

[@BiznessWizard]

Great adventure! Thanks for taking us along. That tent was a perfect choice for this one. You got hit with everything this time... Rain, Sleet, Snow, and Thunder. Looks like you probably had a lot of equipment clean up when you got back home. Thanks again for another great video. Cheers!

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah man had to hose the tent down to get all that filth mud off

[@tirinratieta9256]

Awesome video and AllBlacksRugby, all the way! Love from North West Coast of the USA!

[@briandalrymple9986]

Hi Abe l, so nice to see Victoria in this video. She looks absolutely radiant and blossoming like a beautiful rose. I wish you both all the best on the upcoming addition to your family. I know you will be absolutely blessed out of your socks by your daughter. There is a special bonding with them that we men won’t experience with any of our sons.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thank you

[@Windygirl1958]

😂Oh my. Love the camp and really Great to see Victoria ❤ Happy Baby things ahead ❤

[@trailslug893]

It was good to see Victoria glowing. Tell her she's been missed. You guys are going to be great parents. Good luck with the new little one and just to set the record straight tea is best cold loaded with sugar :)

[@deborahpaulin1188]

So true that being inside the tent with a hot drink while the rain is pouring down is a cosy vibe. 😊

[@thoughtzbytreee]

Hey Abel! Although the location got really muddy, it wasn't too bad. Food looked delicious as always and thankfully you had your truck nearby in case of an emergency.

[@dakshaswal4-croll.no.21avn7]

Just bumped into this channel and it's raw and a great one for camping lovers. The biscuits are awesome

[@skmarrama]

It's rough being in the mud. Everything is a mess but despite that, it was still a great camp! It was great to see Victoria! I know she is ready to welcome your new baby. Being pregnant is a wildly wonderful thing, where you're most glad to see the end of as you grow more and more uncomfortable. I love watching Xander, Max, and Lost Lakes as well. Canada has more extreme temps. Maybe one day, you guys can do a collaboration. I see you guys trying a hot tent and hoping it isn't too hot. New Zealand seems fairly mild. I suppose if you go further South your temps will get colder. I saw Tony go to Mt. Cook he nearly got snowed in. Excellent camp, I think you should make your tea the way you like to drink it and other people should do the same.

[@ruthnicholson8229]

So glad you are back. I just love your videos. Thanks for another great one.😊

Love your hobnob into the tea as that made my day you have no idea and those burgers looked amazing. Good luck for your delivery Victoria and exciting times ahead with a beautiful baby girl about to arrive.

[@TheFireMadSpencerAlexander]

You need a high wind/rain cap for your stove for better draft. I modified a 4” VacuStack to fit the 3.5” winnerwell pipe. Snow, wind, rain… no problems with draft.

[@babymammoth6254]

I’ve just got back to NZ after visiting family in the UK. They were very concerned about the fact that I now like my tea more milky. There were serious discussions had! Been laughing a lot through this particular video, so thanks for that!

[@jodigrant8835]

Great video. So lovely to see Victoria. All the best for the coming weeks.

[@wendysue9042]

As Tony would say.... That was rather a grim camp, but good, as always. Victoria is so sweet I just had to see how she was doing. I would imagine you have to keep your camping pretty close to home now, & stay within good cell phone range at all times I remember those days!

[@rosewashington1004]

Great to see you again ❤ I’ve been watching the old videos and enjoying those Victoria looks beautiful ❤

No no , steep the tea for 5 minutes! Holy Cow you could use the same tea bag for a month.

I watch you most days, I watch whatever is newest a couple of times then I move to an old vid umtil you do a new one. You rarely complain and you do cant be easy and then im sure there is a lot of preparation to start on a camp and a lot of organization. I listened to a camper on utube recently he said he hsd to hike for 15 minutes. 😂 i thought what baby.
