Dunno if you say it later in the video or something. But this place looks great. Where is it?

[@nonacee5065]

The food was impressive and the pancake flip, masterful. Love the rain and river sounds.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ludonguyen]

hey to you reading this 😊 whatever brings you here, whether it's to fall asleep or to relax from something stressful, i just wanted to let you know that everything will be fine. If you're going through a hard time right now, it's okay to remind yourself that this is temporary, and there are many good and relaxing days to come. You are an amazing person and the world is lucky to have someone like you in it. I hope only good things, love and strength will come your way. :)

[@missmarple2793]

I applaud your bravery and craziness for getting out in that weather! Food looked scrumptious, and that chair is really cool. Thanks for taking us on your adventure.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Lol thanks. Next vid is going to be extreme by the looks of the weather report. Victoria is coming along also should be great 👍

[@rubydey683]

Very relaxing camping video

[@AbelandVictoria]

🏕☕️😀

[@jthomas332]

Each episode just gets better and better in every way... great edits, angles, and unscripted funny moments. The end had us laughing seeing you weaving away in the Subie with the Weka running for its life. Love it.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks trying to improve always. Yeah pretty muddy down there great fun

[@mrse7engd834]

your video is so relaxing i watch your video before i sleep and make me sleep well 🎉

[@michaelmarkin1532]

Excellent as usual. To quote Tony from AB camping very ‘grim’, just how I like my camping. Thank you for sharing your content.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks. It was grim but will far more grim on the next snow storm trip

[@TonyTreadaway23]

Awesome vids mate. Love the stormy rainy ones

[@AbelandVictoria]

Glad you like them!

[@slepoir27]

Kia ora, After watching the first video I am addicted to your videos. You do really well!!! I am binge watching them, particularly when you cook your comfort food! Please make more videos 🙏

[@AbelandVictoria]

Hey that’s cool. We will make plenty more 👍

[@Clintctrl]

I am intrigued by all the macpac gear you and Victoria utilize. Never heard of that brand and the company seems sort of elusive lol. Very cool that you keep pumping out videos for us all man!! Helps me while I “work” from home and enjoy it on my other monitor. Always cool and chill vibes from you guys and I am a lifer!! Stay rad Abel & Victoria. 🤙🏻 ☮️ ❤️

[@AbelandVictoria]

Mac pac is a New Zealand brand. They do clothing sleeping bags packs and tents. A lot of their clothing is pretty casual but they have an alpine series that has some great value technical gear. Thanks man

[@ndhern316]

Another great video, I hope you make longer videos next time. Btw, you & Tony ( AB camping ) have the same relaxing camp vibes . 😃

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks. Next one will be a bit longer I think. 👍

[@stevenlangevin1159]

i love 3 inches foam sleep pad, cant beat that!

[@thoughtzbytreee]

Greetings from Florida!Such a beautiful and calming video. Beautiful scenery and delicious-looking food. Thank you

[@eugenedarvell8470]

Exped mega Matt with out of doubt. So comfy even if you’re sleeping on the floor just keeps you warm all the time no cold gets through it is absolutely the bomb

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yeah I looks pretty nice. Thanks For the recommendation

[@7996hobguy]

​@@AbelandVictoriaSame kind of mattress "Lost Horizon Airsoft". Costs half as much and just as comfortable. Highly recommended.

[@gastontvyoutube]

That food is looking so good.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Lol it was. I might make some more tonight

[@fionalewis3121]

LOVE the tent, i wondered why you don't take that one every time as it would be cool to be able to stand up but then i realized that it would be bulky and heavy to carry and you would need that pump as well, but how cool to have all that space.

[@tleej26]

Oztrail ezi fold stretchers are great, there’s different sizes. I use mine with a memory foam topper but I imagine the sleep mat you have would be comfy. A floor covering, I use furniture moving blankets and these are great for keeping the tent a lot warmer and protecting the floor from the stretcher legs. Really liking that tent🏕

[@AbelandVictoria]

👍

[@Pisceanboi]

Wonderful video and a very lovely part of the world. The trick with car camping is to take enough to be comfortable, but not so much as to weigh you down with a lot of time packing and unpacking, unless you're doing a longer trip to justify it all. For sleeping comfort in winter, definitely a folding stretcher such as the Zempire King Single V2 plus a nice SIM on top - EXPED Megamat 15 LXW is superb. The EXPED 15 is thick enough that you can run it soft without bottoming out on it, and the stretcher gets you up out of the cold air near the floor, and gives you extra storage space underneath. :-) For summer, an airbed is fine, but for winter there's no insulation value in them, hence the folding stretcher and SIM recommendation/combination.

[@AbelandVictoria]

We heading out for a car camp tomorrow. We have new mats but to cots yet 😊

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Great looking meatballs & comfortable looking tent, watchable video length, cheers 👍

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks 👍

[@fortiva69]

Love the open camping area.Wish there something like in our area.

[@AbelandVictoria]

It’s a great spot

[@TheWanderingQuails]

Congratulations to you and Victoria!

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks mate

[@rangibusby6205]

Another great Video. Next on my shopping list the Pronto 4 V2 Air tent. Keep up your excellent You Tube posts. Big Congrats to you and Victoria. Looking forward to your next adventures.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Cheers. Yeah tent has been really good so far. Packing it away kinda sucks and drying it out but its achievable. Next video is a crazy snow storm camp with vicotira editing it now

[@haroldbaker5051]

Pasta always keeps me warm.

[@ApexLegendsAYEX]

So did the camera fall over? 😅😂🤣 That swivel chair is a game changer

[@AbelandVictoria]

Lol no I saved it. Yeah man it’s cool

[@paulafelipe3743]

I love too your contents, i watching from Brasil. 🇧🇷

[@AbelandVictoria]

Cool. I love Brazilian coffee ☕️

[@paulafelipe3743]

[@kendorman6567]

Your camp videos are always awesome to watch. Now that it is winter in New Zealand, will you be doing more car camps or will we see some Wilderness Adventures?

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thanks. Next trip is into the snowstorm with Victoria. We will do both. When it snows I like to try an go into the mountains

[@Alfie127]

Great video! I like the mattress that Amok makes for its hammock but, it also makes a good ground mattress. cheers!

[@AbelandVictoria]

Sweet thanks for the tip

[@KampYoutube]

Love your contents watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@AbelandVictoria]

Thank you

[@dawnmay6380]

Yes your meatballs looked delish and as Italian is my favourite food I love that type of dish. Because there are two of us we like our mattress as high as possible so ours blows up with an electric pump and it’s a queen size and is about 2ft high and it’s like a home mattress, 😀 so we are very comfortable but at our age you probably need one like that. 🤣 we recently bought a cool new flash lamp from Costco and we think that’s going to be really great as it seems bright enough. Our tent never gets condensation inside as the fly is the same size as the tent so it goes down to the ground. Just a different style I suppose. Anyway cheers Abel and thanks for your video once again.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Sounds luxurious. I still don’t know what mat to get. Think Victoria and I will both be going out in the big tent soon

[@kayliekatti9512]

I miss Victoria please bring her on your next video camp. God bless

[@AbelandVictoria]

She is coming on the next one. It’s Going to be a two night camp in the snow

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

G'day, Michelin Man. Your nemesis nearly copped it at the end. 🤣 As Tony at AB says the rain is ok but hates the wind. Looked like you had fun setting up. Can't wait to see you guys in the snowstorm. Don't need to name names, but can you briefly fill us in on the wedding then. 😃

[@AbelandVictoria]

Lol. Wind is a pain. Going to be lots to deal with coming up. I’m packing bags now heaps of treats. Victoria is coming with me so we can give some details in upcoming vid

[@TC-zi2yp]

DoD Soto mattress. Best mattress you'll find for car camping.

Morning ✌️

[@TerryRamsey-jg8fm]

If all hell breaks loose, you can always sleep in your car...😅😅😅

[@grantforman3003]

mate those meatballs look the bomb! terrible weather - perfect for camping LOL - the start of the video where you were trying to set up the tent reminded of bouncy castles that fly off in the wind! One interesting thing - in the light rain the automatic KZbin translate/dub marked the rain as "applause", but when the rain got heavier it was "music" ha ha. Great vid as always - looks like you will become a camping gadget reviewer...can you confirm again the swivel chair swivels :) awesome vid - next car camp should have wild ocean in background. there must be an isolated spot if you go further west? keep up the good work!

[@AbelandVictoria]

The auto generated subtitles are funny. I’m trying to find good spots to car camp. Not having much luck with it. There are several good spots but they are accessed over rivers that get very high very fast. Next vid is a good one. Victoria and I camped in a big snow storm

[@dolphin58603]

Have you guys ever do a winter meet up with the other's that u tube camping in NZ winter that would be great for all guys meet

[@AbelandVictoria]

Haven’t considered it. Who would you have in mind ?

[@ShepMike3934]

I’ve tried lots of stuff but, if I’m car camping I take a full height stretcher and a suitable weight sleeping bag and woollen rug. I have had to accept that sleeping on the ground and a bad back and artificial knees just don’t go together anymore.

[@rachelfogarty4786]

Hey I've forgotten what brand that wee fry pan you have is? Seems like the perfect pancake pan! Cool vid as always. That chair looks the business!

[@AbelandVictoria]

Gsi. I usually have a list of gear I use in the video in the description. I try to keep it accurate. The chair is cool much more comfortable then my little one

[@CarmenLopez-xp7hk]

Where r you camping? It’s a beautiful countryside. Love your camping gear.

[@AbelandVictoria]

New Zealand near nelson. Yeah I’m getting a good collection still a few more things needed

[@fionalewis3121]

Would that flextail pump be enough to blow up the tent?

[@drumsandstix128]

Great Vlog thanks Abel! Just one question...What was the ambient temperature where you were camping?

[@AbelandVictoria]

Cheers. Not sure must have been close to 0

[@TheMoziere]

I've got some questions. I hope you are the type who answers 😊 First, what was the little bird that was helping you pack up your camp. I thought it might be a kiwi, but the neck was more duck like. What do I know, I'm American. Second, regarding your bed. We have twin inflatable mattresses with a memory foam pad on top. We don't carry our tent in a back pack so don't worry about weight or volume. The inflatable mattress might work for you though. Third. Love your videos. My dream is to visit down under. All over, not just Oz. I'd love to camp in some of the places I've seen. Hopefully, my daughter and I can do that soon. God bless you and your lovely wife, she is so precious. Oh, one more thing. We have to take precautions with food. Even here in Alabama, we have bears who will invite themselves to dinner in your tent. What predators do you have there? Do you have to put your food up in a tree or something? Maybe you could address your native animals in a video and tell us the pros and cons of dealing with them in the wild. Y'all have the nasty snakes and bugs down there. Sorry for being a ratchet jaw. ❤❤❤

[@AbelandVictoria]

The bird is called a Weka. Native to New Zealand. We have no big predators here so nothing to worry about. Thanks

[@davebayliss3142]

Why didn’t you use the elect pump on the tent ?

[@TerryRamsey-jg8fm]

Wow, for that kind of weather and terrain you need a 4x4😅😅😅

[@AbelandVictoria]

Outback is Fully 4wd

[@gloriaharris1395]

Abel how did you and Victoria meet?

[@fionalewis3121]

Yum those meatballs, and what was the pasta sauce you used?

[@gr8outdoors]

Just wondering. Did you put a lift kit on your Subaru? It looks lifted.

[@AbelandVictoria]

Yea. Guy I purchased it off had done so

[@norshamhusaini]

Are the Zempire air tents any good? Can it withstand 50kmh winds? or was there more wind in this video? Just discovered your channel. Love it mate!

[@AbelandVictoria]

They are solid at least this one is. I like it and think it can take pretty strong wind when all guyline are up thanks man

[@fionalewis3121]

Great chair, but i guess same thing, with the weight and bulkiness for carrying to camp.

[@daviddunn1494]
