Camping in the Rain - Sea to Summit Telos TR2 + Tarp - Cobb Valley solo HIKE - Kahurangi

A wet and cold hike up the magical Cobb Valley to camp on the bush edge and cook a delishous meal by the fire. Another great trip out solo only accompained by many native birds. Enjoy.

a mazing place to visit, keep the spirit and always healthy 👍👍👍

[@pmedilall]

Loved this video! Thanks for sharing :D

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

It’s the camps that don’t go right that we learn the most from! Best segment for me was 37:00-37:39. Top effort, love your coffee culture ☕️ you’re doing fantastic 👏👏👏

[@AbelandVictoria]

I learnt to check if the wine has a cork or not lol. Thanks for the feedback. Coffee is critically important as you well know 👍

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

@@AbelandVictoria Expensive reds seem to have corks, you seemed enamoured by the rich heavy oak palette, what was it, I’ll see if it tastes the same in the north?

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@OutdoorsmanDave maybe it was so good due to the hard work to get my fire going and the ordeal to get some of the wine into the cup haha. It was a wolf blass gold label cab sav 2017. Take one on your next trip lovely by the camp fire

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

I recognize that spot, another great vid. Only thing I think I would miss in the NZ bush is no Kookaburra's. 😄

[@AbelandVictoria]

It’s a good spot that one. That was a fun camp even tho it was a struggle.

[@ninabeeser5046]

Awesome vid

[@Upsidedownorangejuice]

Least no weka's on a hunt for shiny things this time, amazing bird life. Good watch thank you.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Haha yeah they weren’t to interested. Cobb valley has so many birds it’s really cool.

[@treklinda1309]

What a cosy night..fire and wine. I would have pushed the cork in straight away ( without damaging the neck of the bottle) 😀😀😀 Gonna binge watch your vids now.

[@AbelandVictoria]

The wine was a bit of a disaster lol. Enjoy the vids let me know which you like the best

[@markexpose6108]

LIKE. LIKE. LIKE. FOOD.

[@suzannehillman5008]

I'm going to get you a Swiss army knife so you don't have to butcher your next Wolf bass ! Great camera crew they are always a step ahead ! Loved your Robyn friend ...and your pasta seemed to get more delicious with each glass of wine ..great job ! Awesome fun !

[@AbelandVictoria]

Swiss Army knife would have been great. The wine was very nice surprisingly delicious.

[@mattyem]

Great vids bro, reminds me of home (western edge of the kahurangi, over Karamea ways)

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks! Kahurangi is amazing. Where is your favourite spot?

[@mattyem]

@@AbelandVictoria the Gunner or Gouland downs are up there for me, very accessible from the west coast side.

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@mattyem I’ll try and get over to that section of kahurangi at some point. When the days get longer i am thinking of doing a massive mission deep into the park with my brother

[@NicholasMcClintock1]

I'm glad you enjoyed the wine because it certainly made you work for it, and I'm embarrassed to say that you put more effort into cooking in the bush than I do with a whole kitchen at hand at home. Another beautifully shot video Abel. That little Robin was a cool thing to capture, he/she was a neat little character.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Lol I don’t cook at home often though Victoria is a great cook. I usually take the cooking duties when we go out and camp.

[@Fast_Ultralight]

Opening a wine bottle: vandal.😁

[@drumsandstix128]

Always great following the adventures. It may have been covered in one of your earlier vids but where is Vic? Loved hearing the Kiwi. Its been a long time since I heard one! Loved the Robin flying down to the camera to investigate it!. Approve of your cab/sav and gastronomic choice of food. Thanks for the vlog.

[@AbelandVictoria]

My parents look after Albert (our dog) when we go out and they have been sick recently so not available to look after him unfortunately. Hopefully Victoria will be back next time. She is the star of the show lol. Bird life in the Cobb valley is outstanding. Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍

[@kanehartill4178]

We couldn't get away into the hills this weekend... so it was super nice to sit down to chicken off the webberQ and a new tramp and camp vid. And it's a goodie, the bottle breaking, kiwi shrieking, late night philosophizing, photobombing robin all make it pure gold. I couldn't believe you got across that with dry hooves! The same dour damp wood conditions which stymied me last week! I didn't have confidence in wood collection to commit to the hour of blowing, probably would have keeled over before even starting on the wine. Kudos for prevailing sir. Coonawarra shiraz has been the best always. I might have to get a tarp. Just bought a Lanshan2 for light trips. In that type of weather we use hike umbrellas from PackGearGo in Wakefield, so much drier, the most breathable wet weather gear you can get... some of our friends think it's lame, but I've found it pretty crucial to be able to do photography with the big camera in rain. This triple La Nina monsoonal season is getting a bit much.

[@AbelandVictoria]

So that bird call was a kiwi? Often in the Cobb I hear this call. The robins were very inquisitive. I notice that they were around in almost all the shots while I was camped. Scarpa leather boots seem to be the real deal very happy with them so far I was also surprised my feet stayed dry! I might get a air mattress pump that has dual use also as a light to help with blowing on the fire. Definitely going to be getting that wine again maybe for home I think I prefer a few beers while out camping tho. I’m thinking about a ultra light weight single person shelter for my solo trips. Having the tarp is awesome I’d definitely get one if you like being out in the rain.

[@kanehartill4178]

@@AbelandVictoria I think it was a kiwi, quite different to the usual weka. I saw my first kiwi in the wild last winter near aorere shelter, at 10am, was huge female almost white. I'd be interested to see if those little pumps output enough for fire use. We did part of the able tasman couple weeks ago, awaroa around to wainui, was so good, only saw five people out on separation point. Had a great fire at mutton cove. I was surprised at how hilly the track is. On the last day I had a hefty pack with the cooking gear, 3person tent, hotwater bottles, and three 1kg camp chairs strapped on top. We'll get some helinox chair zeros some day, but bogged down building new home atm.

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@kanehartill4178 pretty them little pumps have the power I have seen them in use. Yeah abel Tasman is nice. Maybe I could do a loop incorporating the inland track. I have the skyline ul camp chair from big Agnes it’s 750 grams I think but has more stability then the chair zero and sit a bit higher feet also don’t seem to sink into ground to much

[@Victoria._._]

Awesome video!

[@AbelandVictoria]

When will you be coming next

[@Victoria._._]

@@AbelandVictoria hopefully soon! Please don’t leave me home alone again 😅😘

[@rangibusby6205]

Another great Video. Keep them coming. Could we have a review on the Thermarest trail pro. A small Swiss army knife is a must with a cork screw. Great meals.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Cheers. Yeah I think I’ll do some short form videos of all the gear I use regularly. Hmm yeah a cork screw would have been very useful.

[@mrdan7104]

every vid looks like a different country that you visit, so amazing, nz has truly all the best aspects of nature in my books...i read u guys dont even have to worry bout dangerous animals on land...its like Canada without the bears and wolves haha :)

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah man it’s all close to my house also. Less then two hours drive. No dangerous animal only annoying weka them small chicken like birds

[@hermannkuhne485]

Loved it...will try some Wolf bass, thanks

[@AbelandVictoria]

Haha nice it’s a great wine 🍷

It’s broken lol

I bought an extendable metal fire blowing straw of Ali express for a couple of dollars makes blowing on the fire alot easier gets the fire cranking 👌
