The images from the lake 😮 truly magical ❤ keep up the good work and thanks for bringing us along🏆

[@NicholasMcClintock1]

Abel, that morning shot from your tent is INCREDIBLE! That is a screen saver for sure, what an awesome camp site❤.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah stunning up there 🏕

[@nickransom9769]

Nice camp spot. Must try it some time. Tent review was interesting.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Great spot easy to access has it all really

[@kennethtennant5398]

Hello my friend, I'm from the state of Michigan. I like your program the way you set it up. I made a comment before maybe the comment about your new lady. She's outstanding, she looks a little sassy in a good way. Don't take it wrong, my friend. I like your programmed way it's set up. I'll keep watching it and enjoy. It's different. You take care, Lord, watch over you and yours and stay safe. Your friend from Michigan. God speed

Great views!❤

[@kknenglois9185]

Amazing camp spot my friend 🥰🥰🥰

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yep one of my favourite. Will be going back there in the winter soon 😀

[@rachelf88]

It really is a ripper spot that one. Amazing! I love that little stand of trees. Just perfect.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah it’s awesome. Easy to get for a quick camp also. Will have to go back with Victoria

[@rachelf88]

@@AbelandVictoria Be so nice in the summer.

[@tleej26]

Stunning scenery, beautiful with the snow.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Pretty spectacular area. Lucky to get the snow this time of year. Looking forward to some summer camping now though

[@kanehartill4178]

Exquisitely designed tent! Looked so good under the copse reflected at the far end of the tarn. That's a real meal we haven't tried yet. Nicely filmed... That rocket trail was amazing.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah nemo seems to have nailed the fine line between being super light and still comfortable. Man that launch looked insane I couldn’t process what it was at first lol brain wasn’t working. It was a rocket lab launch apparently. Wish I had big zoom lens to film it.

[@tonystewart9504]

@@AbelandVictoria Apparently the Musk sky train went over as well.Ive seen it before and its despairingly awesome. I know the tent was a gift but do you know the cost? Cheers.Great filming.

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@tonystewart9504 I was up on the tablelands awhile ago and seen a starlink deployment that was very cool to see also. The tent was $850 not bad for its specs I’d say. So far can not fault it really.

[@pmedilall]

Amazing!!!!!!!!

[@NicholasMcClintock1]

I'm going through your back catalog and I'm loving it. Your content is Awesome and the Locations...............................WOW!

Nice photography loved the reflection in Lake Sylvester and that sunrise was epic!!!!!! Thank you!!

Perfect weather glad you enjoyed the shots

[@michelineheise5959]

3 hrs and 10kg. I'm tired already! Watching your journey and seeing these beautiful landscapes are amazingly beautiful. Enjoy and stay safe.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Very special part of the country. Lucky to be able to camp up there

[@shoutatthesky]

Cool looking spot. Have to check it out.

[@AbelandVictoria]

It’s awesome easy walk in if you aren’t in the mood for a big walk.

[@Longtack55]

A great clip and I appreciate the recording effort with all the doubling back involved. Abel, it's not about the coffee! 😉. One of our favourite spots, with so many further options. I have a Mont single similar to the Nemo and enjoy the head room while sitting as I'm quite tall. As for the "hut" they tend to deteriorate quickly and often include plastic which eventually gets blown everywhere, and indignant people will also demolish them, and I wouldn't like to see Lake Lockett campsites with any more rubbish lying around. Goooo RocketLab!

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks. A secret log cabin like Chaffey hut would be ideal. It would be kinda hard to keep that’s a secret for long though.

[@mrcycology7614]

Nice video! Thanks for the review of the Nemo tent, I have just ordered one and was slightly concerned about the headroom. I think you are quite a bit taller than I am so I will have heaps of room. Looks like a fantastic spot you chose for your first camp out! Frost is not something I get to see much of 🙂 enjoy your new tent. Thanks again.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Nice it’s an awesome tent. Glad that you found the video useful and good luck with the new nemo

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Ripper spot, happy you’re happy with the Nemo. Congrats on hitting 500 🙌

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks Dave. Next stop 5 million lollllll

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

@@AbelandVictoria DM me in a few weeks when you’re at 599 and I’ll make it 600 🎉

[@beckspace]

nice effort on your vlog, I can imagine how hard to take a different angle on your video while enjoying the camping, yes your right a lot of people complaining nemo hornet elite osmo, but I think that tent is the best , specially in the weight and comfort.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah I like the tent. It’s great light weight option and well featured

[@rangibusby6205]

Amazing you caught the Rocket Lab launch from Mahia. It was launched at 06.09 in the morning. What a bonus. Beautiful scenery. Can't wait for Anton to go out again. Miss the banter between you three.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah looked it up when I got home. Awesome to see. I will inform Anton that he is being requested to make an appearance

[@Windygirl1958]

Gorgeous

[@PerfDayToday]

Nice review. Thinking about one for those times I need/want light and mostly free standing, when I don’t want a ‘mid’ style tent.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks. When you consider the tent is essentially free standing and has side entrance door and decent space it’s pretty phenomenal weight and pack ability

[@treklinda1309]

Wow the sunrise is so amazing!!

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah it’s a great spot for a sunrise did u see the rocket launch? That was crazy

[@stephentuck6607]

Great video. Beautiful spot for an overnight camp. The Hornet Elite 1P seems like a great UL tent. I'm wondering if the Hornet Elite 2P might be even better for the person who likes a little extra room. At the site I looked at, the 2P Hornet Elite is an extra 123g, which is nothing for an extra $90. But you look like you're around 6ft. If the 1P is big enough for you it would be big enough for most people.

[@AbelandVictoria]

I considered the 2p variant but decided that I wanted the most hardcore weight saving option. I already have a reasonably light and spacious 2p tent if I feel like some extra room. The 1p hornet is definitely big enough for me and don’t feel like I really need anymore space once I’m in.

[@terencejamesparkinson6400]

Do you think this tent would be okay to -5c or so in winter?

[@AbelandVictoria]

The inner bathtub floor comes up pretty high and the rain fly can be tightened down close to the ground so keeping some warmer air inside the tent is possible. Also the osmo fabric not sagging if wet due to condensation is good so Id say any condensation will not drip inside the tent. I had it in pretty cold temperatures and it was great.

[@terencejamesparkinson6400]

Awesome! Yeah I’m looking at a very light backpacking tent that can do cold here in Canada lol. Do you think it got down around-5 or so in the night? Great videos btw! Happy I found your channel.

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@terencejamesparkinson6400 hmm Probably not -5 I’d at a guess say between -1 or -2. The tent is cool. So far I’m very happy with it.

[@terencejamesparkinson6400]

Good to know ! Great info . It’s an expensive tent so Being informed is important. Cheers from Ontario🎉

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@terencejamesparkinson6400 no worries good luck with your tent buying and future missions

[@annalengstrand]

is this the 1p tent?

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yep.

[@annalengstrand]

@@AbelandVictoria thanks! looking at the 2p and hopefully its big enough to fit me and my 40kg dog. I'm a petite woman

[@AbelandVictoria]

@@annalengstrand I think it should be. The mesh walls come in abit but for a dog and a person should be fine. The material is very light weight so something to consider not sure if a dog could damage it.

[@annalengstrand]

@@AbelandVictoria thanks! I just ordered the new Hornet OSMO 2p, supposed to have a bit thicker materials than the Elite
