It was Lovely to watch!💞 I’m already following on Instagram. I have one question. What time is it over there? It’s 1am here on the east coast of us.😊
@CMoore8539 I believe we are about 17 hours apart. Right now, it is 8 pm Thursday in the US, 😊and it is 2 pm Friday in New Zealand.
What tent you using dude? Nice video BTW! My kind of adventure, and the best bit is you get the place to yourself 😊
😊😊
😂nice camp
Brilliant. I'm an old guy. 69. I'm lying in bed wishing i could do that stuff again. Thanks for taking me along. Good health and happiness to you and yours.From an old seakayaker. Stay safe 🤘
Glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks 😊 you too
🇦🇺🦘👋❤️🫶
Awesome bad weather camping.. rather you than me, and I have to say that I don't remember February being quite so cold, even in ChCh 😮
Thanks for a great video, and a special shout out to your tame weka ! 😊
Get out there mate - don't stop till you drop.
I'm an old gal. 63 years old and wish I had a friend to go camping with. I miss those days so much.
Never too old buddy, just need thicker woollen socks 🙂I am 61 and hope to be going for many years
I’m 61 and disabled. I’m lying in my warm bed all snuggly under my Sherpa lined comforter with electric faux fireplace on. I’m enjoying the rain and camping vicariously through your wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. Stay blessed. ❤😊
I'm the same tonight 😅
Me too ❤
The absolute best severe weather tent camping video I've seen. In spite of the intense weather you set up camp, built a much needed fire, cooked burgers, remained warm and slept, and then the grand finale: bacon and eggs in the morning! Very well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow…nothing makes you feel more comfortable and ready for sleep then lying in a warm bed and watching a rainy camping video.
Thank you
Always appreciate guys like you that don't use foul language. Good Job.
Me to. Very refreshing
great point to make
Couldn't fkn agree more.
Feckin good job mate
It is a miracle how positive you were during that storm.
I miss it. I love hearing rain on my tent, while I’m all snuggled deep into my warm sleeping bag, hoodie pulled tight around my face. This has been wonderful to watch. Thanks for taking us with you!
I would get my warm clothes on and snuggle up in the tent until the wind and rain settled.
Lol yeah I think most people would
Then you wouldn’t have content. You’d be a hiker in a tent.
Me too
I'd be huddled in tent the entire time. Lol
I agree. Lord he’s stubborn.
Same here
Mother Nature threw everything she had at you this time. I can appreciate how difficult this video was to film and I am sure all of us appreciate your hard work. Very enjoyable. Thanks.
I didn’t appreciate. Always complaining. “This wood is terrible. So wet” The whole video showed what not to do unless you want to suffer in the outdoors.
@@tigressnsnowHe's actually not complaining, rather giving some audio description for viewers for how he's experiencing the conditions in the moment. That's kinda how YouTubing & vlogging works. 😄 Have a blessed one. 🙏

I won’t be watching him again. It’s bad that we see him suffer, hear him suffer then have him describe that which is causing him to
suffer. I prefer watching camping from South Korea. Ryu’s puppy Ryua is so entertaining when the bed has been made. It’s him doing a “bed’s made” zoom.

@@tigressnsnowWouldn't normally relpy to someone as negative as yourself, but you sound like a total wetwipe. Honestly, just stay in your bed under your duvet and stop worrying normal people.
Nothing is more peaceful than the sound of the wind and a gentle rain on your tent. Some of the best nights of sleep I've ever had were in the woods.
Storm, what storm?
I agree with you about the peace one finds in the woods. I lived with the woods all around me and 2 years ago an electrical fire in the middle of the night took it all after 38 years. After one winter in town in an apartment , not able to even find the stars, I bought a 1964 camper, put it up on the ole homestead as I had to start trying to tip down what was left … but by bit, I’m working at it. I’m 65 and everyone’s too busy to help and companies wanted $15000 to tear down what was left charred and erect. So… I’ll plug away at it BUT best part I’m STILL here, living full time in my little camper, with my dig and tend to the yard and my gardens and my hens. I sit out and watch the stars ♥️ No street lights, just black sky , coywolves howling down back in the woods, and I’m HOME ♥️ - just don’t wanna leave here. The land is as much HOME as the house was. And the rain on the metal roof 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🥰
@@katehopkinsbrent5573 Thank you for your story. Very nice, but outdoors is not my thing.Being blond and light skinned, I try to avoid direct sun. I enjoy looking at nature, seen a lot.
Brings back memories of camping in our heavy canvas cabin tent. This was back in the 60’s. Mom,dad and 4 little girls camping in all kinds of weather. That tent would come down in horrible storms and we’d have to sleep in the car. I’ve gone through a tornado in an outhouse!! Thanks for taking me back.
The heavy rain did not mess up your video. The sound and camera were great. We could hear you clearly and the camera was clear too 😊😊
Hope for the best, but *PREPARE* for the worse is a damned good philosophy!
Decades ago, I and a GF spent two weeks in the Sierra Nevada Mtns. of Central CA. Our first night, we arrived at the campsite very late, but after setting up our tent, while she was getting ready to retire, I stayed up, setting overhead tarps for the tent, our fire pit, and the nearby table. Then I dug a trench/drain-line around our tent and away (downhill). She kept harping on me to just come to bed, and I just kept going till I was satisfied.
Next day, the Heaven's opened-up, and we had downpours/wind/hail/thunderstorms, for the next four days!
Then, she understood the importance of proper set-up, and we had a wonderful time!
Lovely video, GREAT Tempest-Watching, and very happy you were able to record it and then share it with us!
:-D
What a thrilling experience! You showed us the reality of camping in the rain, snow, hail, and wind. I’m glad you made it through the night. You are the best! 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally! A camping vlog that is actually bad weather and not click bait!
Ikr & rain is like a constant.
I found a cave on my property about 15 years ago. The entrance is about 5X5 feet but inside it about 20X30 X12 feet tall. I love camping in it during storms. If we get Tornado warning my wife comes with and we ride out the severe weather together. We've had two Tornados in that time one passed close enough we could see it and all the crap flying around, it was awesome. I've built a queen size bed, tables and chairs, end tables. a large fireplace and other creature comforts in the cave. It's out home away from home in bad weather. You should have gone the extra mile and fried up some hash browns.
Young man, that fire is like you. It won't quit. I'm getting cold watching the rain lashing down, and now I have a blanket around me. OMG.
Lol yes
This was my first time visiting your channel. I needed a wooly blanket and a hot cocoa just to watch. Brave soul! Thanks for taking us with you.
Welcome. A nice cold beer wild do well also
It's my first time too. I'm under the duvet with electric blanket on, and one of my cuddled in beside me.
Abel, just found your channel today and every comment I was going to make has already been made by everyone else. It was the BEST FOUL WEATHER camping video I've seen to date! ! ! Good on ya mate for hanging in there and braving the elements. I'm considering doing some Overlanding camping trips now that my wife has passed. They should be a lot easier then my 20+ years of military 'camping'. LOL 70yo, Seattle, Washington USA. Thanks for taking us all along with you.
That fire was critical for you Abel. The heat, ambience , cooking, drying out. Very nice work, you rock! And the burgers, goodness. And your editing is superb, the best! Carry on!
What's the point of the fire? You have a stove for cooking.
If you don't know the benefits of a fire, Phillip, I doubt I can explain it to you.@@philiphjelsand5167
@@philiphjelsand5167Totally agree, there was no point in that fire, he got soaked through collecting wood, he couldn’t build it close enough to the tent because of the wind, he couldn’t use it to dry off because he had to keep his waterproofs on and he didn’t need it for cooking, I think it was just for the purposes of film content. I would have took off my wet stuff in the tent then got in my sleeping bag and watched a film on my IPad. Would have made a short and dull video though.
@johnferry7778 ... Actually, for many people like myself, a fire is comforting, even if only to tend and gaze upon. Getting it going in the rain is hard, but worth the effort.
That fire in torrential rain is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Cannot believe you stayed up there, you are incredible.
I've got my best Sleeps in rainstorms. So like a big lullaby to me.
Finally I found somebody camping in conditions I know - rain! So many videos of people camping in mountains and snow. Rain like this is a challenge on a whole other level. Greetings from rainy Denmark 🇩🇰
We camped many nights in Western Washington State--the weather was very much like this, 36 degrees F, raining sideways. I thought I would stay dry with rain gear--ha! I was soaked the entire time. But it was memorable and we have many camping/hunting stories.
Thank you for braving the elements for our pleasurable entertainment of watching crazy weather camping ⛺️ You’re a rugged handsome beast😉👍🏻
Haha thanks
you have THE BEST camping videos and this one Sir is your best you are something else thank you for letting us get to experience it
Thank you appreciate it
Ok Mr. Legend. 😂 That fire was ripping. Can’t believe that Tarp made it through. Another great camp.Thanks!
Haha thanks. One day it’s going to fail
Money for the nearest petrol station coffee to thaw out the inner freeze... good on ya!.
🕊NZ
I never skip one moment of your videos - from the introduction to the end, they are to be savored in their entirety.
Nice thanks
It’s good to watch your videos.. it’s refreshing to watch a channel where the energy is positive. Too many of these type of channels talking about problems and complaining. I enjoy that you’re always in it for the experience, and it comes through in the video.. Very best 🍻
Thanks
Good video
Loved it!!.. Awesome!!..These are the memories you will always have of wild camping, because camping in these conditions is always "on the the edge of your seat stuff"....When you are back home and carrying on in life it gives you the "warm and fuzzies" inside, and you can't wait to get back out there and do it all again.🤪
Wow! Much respect to you, Abel, for enduring all aspects of the camp. Climbing for 3 hours with that huge backpack, managing to build a fire, and cooking fantastic meals in freezing temps are just a few of the obstacles you overcame, all while filming. Honorable mention goes to your tarp placement, which was perfect and amazingly allowed you to sit outside your tent in the driving rain. Therefore, I hereby annoint you "King of Tarps." Great job and much appreciated!
Thanks. It is much more difficult than most people realise I think. Unless you have been out in there conditions hard to understand. Filming it is anther level of stress lol.
Oh...I forgot to mention, you're also the Ace of Eggs and the Jack of Floods. However, you'll never be the Queen of anything. 😂👍
Thats nowt mate, I just drove 3 miles to my local Greggs and the card machine wasnt working, a full 300 yards walk to the ATM and it felt chilly with the fresh breeze, boy was i ready for my bacon bun and coffee
😂 got to love British humour 😅
😂
Love it , thank you so very much I appreciate you, I could feel the wind ❤
You're a real trooper! Always positive and never giving up! Inspirational!!
I love winter/ storm camping. My friends and I were out in 80mph wind with 100mph gusts back in 2014. That was rough. You look very well prepared and looked to be enjoying yourself. Bravo. Nice video.
So awesome cozy tent in rain at night. Thank you so much for the video.
Awesome video my friend love storm camping videos and yes we do appreciate your efforts stay safe mate
This was a 10 . it shows how to handle it when the weather goes bad. Most people would have packed up and went home not knowing how to handle it. Thanks so much it was great 👍🏻
Awesome! Just loved the fabulous rain. Thanks for taking the beating for us once again.
My pleasure
I have to admire your perseverance in such trying conditions mate.
This reminds me of camping in my childhood.
Non mais faire un feu sous l eau sachant que ça va fumer grave ok mais dans ce cas ferme ta tente car en plus tu vas dormir dans la fumée😅😅😅😅😅😅
For the conditions you are in your doing good 👍 message from Cardiff South Wales
Hi Able 👋
You did fantastic. No matter how wet you got you just kept on plugging away at your pitch. What a trooper !!!
You are far and away, the best of the Kiwis. Your personality is a lot easier to swallow than T...'s, and the New Zealand family that is presently touring our country is wonderful, but they are a different ❤theater altogether. They haven't lost their innocence yet. Able.....you have. Love when Victoria comes along. This adventure would not have been a good one. You both would've got in each other's way. Would've been funny, but would've tested your patience to the max. Divorces are made of that.Take care of yourself, Able, and get warm and dry.
See you soon. ❤
Abel
Tough experience for you - very entertaining video for us!
Yep the way it should be lol
🇬🇧 Crazeee!! Watching from a warm kitchen in rural Oxfordshire, trying hard to imagine being wet through in that fierce storm on the mountain top☔️🔥. The tent & tarp worked very well to keep you safe and getting the fire going was a Godsend. Would have liked to hear a little about you, your opinions, your work & family. At 82, I won't be doing that again, sadly, but this was really great to watch. Thank you!1🤗
All worth it for those burgers! They looked great. Good video in the face of adversity 👍
Nice camping video, awesome sound of rain and wind. Very brave of you to stay out during the height of the heavy rain and wind. 👍🏼
I love the challenge of camping in weather like this and snow storms too. It’s you against nature and if you’ve planned correctly, no problem! Thanks for the great video!
I'm watching this beautiful rain and cold from a place that's had its driest and hottest summer since 1981. We have daily temperatures of 40⁰c and terrible drought. This video was beautiful thank you
I liked this video mate, was good to listen to the storm and see the tent holding up. I miss the better half tho ❤❤❤
I love the feeling of wind and rain.....and I would sleep my best sleep inside that tent with the sounds of the weather on the outside! 🙂 That egg case....has been sold since I was a little girl...and I 59 now🙂....so that's not a new thing!🙂...but I think they was more used back in the days! I love the joy in your eyes, that what it's all about!🌼
Jealous, love storm camping / hiking. Just got through summer here in Australia, looking forward to getting back out there myself now things have cooled down a bit.
Epic video.
In 66 and still doing it although less frequently. Age isn't the barrier. The barriers are having the knowledge and mindset to do it safely and to enjoy it even in in the worse conditions. The other issue is having the right gear. It doesn't have to be expense brand-name stuff but you have be able to survive comfortably in conditions such as this.
Wow huge effort Abel...I was in the area also at the same time and it was absolutely nuts and cold and I wasn't even on the tops. Well-done great video.
Wish this was mid winter could have been an absolutely epic snow dump
👍
camping in a Typhoon...
Thanks mate, this was a brilliant video. Cheers.
No problem 👍
I enjoy watching your camping videos in the rain while I'm nice and cozy in my bed resting.👍
A great watch……I found the noise of the wind and rain very therapeutic…👍
@@Cathramz am a regular listener!….thanks for the tip though 🤙
One day I'll get brave enough to do this ..!!!
Awesome ❤...
Absolutely love the video 📹...
I fall l aslp to these❤❤❤❤❤❤❤..
/=, thank yew for the upload🙏🏽🍳
Well done mate,superb effort. Always a welcome sight seeing the fire going👏👏👏
😮 WHOA!!!
What in the wet weather??
🌬🌬🌬⛺️ ☁️🌧🌩
You were LITERALLY
👉🏽weathering the storm👈🏽
Thanks for the 🎬 💫💛
Amazing work with the fire 🔥 in the conditions, thanks
What a blust. Was exciting watching you and the storm. ☺👌
That reminded me of when me and my mum went camping overnight, we were jump judges at a cross country horse event, it was too far away to get their early the next morning, so we camped overnight. It a hot barmy June afternoon when we set out, by the time we got there a storm had blown in, absolute deluge and high winds. So we stripped off down to our underwear to pitch the tent, because we didn't have spare clothes. We also had to batten the tent down with an extra tarp over the top to keep the tent from being blown flat. The storm settled down and we all had a great evening, went to bed about 10pm, it got really cold in the night and when we got up in the morning there was a good 10 inches of snow. So that was that for the cross country event, they canceled it. We then had to wait until late afternoon for the snow to melt so we could pack up, get out of the field and go home. Happy days.. 🤣
Wow cool adventure with your mum.. great life.. 🕊NZ
Have you tried brewing cowboy coffee? Just add fine ground coffee to a mug, stir, let settle for 2-3 minutes then drink. The coffee will be right at the bottom of the mug and you won't swallow any if you don't drink the last bit. It's how coffee was traditionally brewed, it's the easiest way to make it also brews for longer so you don't need to use as much.
Doesn’t taste as nice unfortunately
Love watching when the rain is pouring down and the wind is raging. I,m 76 year old lady and enjoy watching you at the tops as you and AB camping say. As the rain pours down it's also pouring down on my roof window. Beautiful. Enjoy it all.
Fabulous adventure in inclement weather again , i enjoyed it. the atmosphere in the storm was great,
Take care 😊
I was on a 12 day canoe trip and it rained every damn day.
Still remember it vividly, as we had 250 lb 8 person canoes to carry as well.
At 17 years old, it was life altering. We planned the trip ourselves, bought and packed the food ourselves.
We had one canoe with teachers, but they stood by and were just observing and there for safety.
If you got lost with bad navigation, they let you lol.
They purposely put guys in same canoes that did NOT get along.
This was in the vast park of Quetico in Northern Canada.
It was called Outers and you attained 1 credit as long as you did 40 hrs community work as well.
There was fall trips, winter camping/snowshoeing , and an all overnight navigating snowshoeing trip.
Good video. I know the rain was a bugger but the sound (while I’m warm, safe and dry) is marvelous.
The goal is warm, dry, comfortable, good food…There’s nothing like the contrast of ripping wind, cool temps, topped off with pounding rain, now, wet, cold, tired and hungry. And you beat it! The shelter, food, fire building kit, water, protective clothing you carried in on your back. There it is, a cold, wet, windy camp, after miles of hiking, up a mountain and you thrived! Or, you could have stayed home, in snuggly cotton sweats, in a leather recliner. Hit the button for instant heat. Hit the button for coffee. Then sit back, warm, dry, comfortable and watch the storm through your picture window…But, what’s the fun in warm, dry and comfortable?
Brilliant camp! Awesome stuff!
Wonderful record of what looks like real camping.All you needed was man's best friend. Many thanks!!!
Holy far out ! That was such an intense storm. I don't see how that the tarp didn't get ripped up and blown away. I like the way you set up the tarp on your camping. Good job getting the fire started and keeping it going. I'm convinced that you can get a fire going in any kind of weather good or bad! Thanks for bringing us along, I appreciate the hard work you put into your videos! Cheers mate 🍻
Thank you
Another great camp Abel 👌
Way to persevere mate. Good on ya. Thx for the content.
Love the sound of rain, so relaxing!
So glad you are truthful with your title descriptions. Those were insane storms and wind. Thanks for sharing and all the hard work that goes into filming in those conditions.
Lol there is some pretty bad click bait out there
Been there done that, in November 2019 on the south coast of England, there was a massive storm coming in from the English Channel while on a tour of the coastal areas. I had fun trying to put up a poncho so I could eat, thank god I had my tent up before the main storm hit me..
Typical British summer, surely?
In New Zealand?
Thank you. I’ve had many such adventures backpacking and paddling in the Adirondacks and Algonquin Park. You brought back many memories for me. I look forward to the next one.
This video reminds me of some of the crazy camping trips I have been on where the weather jumped from one extreme to the other: warm sunny days, hurricanes, winter storms, ice rain, and major thunder & lightning events. I feel at home watching this video!
Abel, You look like a Lumberjack! You’re definitely in your element. Thank you for the video!!💞
My pleasure
Ty for taking us along, 😊
Your delivery is excellent. No awkward pauses or “ummm”. That’s hard to do. Well played Sir :)
Thanks
Meh just a small drizzle. A spit of rain. EDIT: You should have brought a brolly along with you. Also 22:13 My Mum said never talk with your mouth half full. Fill it up first.
Probably the most over exaggerated video over. Hurricane, deluge etc. thats a typical Scottish rainy day. Try camping in winter in the Highlands🤣🤣🤣
Gfy mate
@@AbelandVictoriai notice he never replied, maybe he didn't enjoy it 😂
@@AbelandVictoria Envy sent regards!! Top video again Abe!!! Cheers mate!!👊👊
Damn fking right lolol
@@AbelandVictoria I've been out in worse weather bigyin ..
I do hate clickbait titles
Camping in the rain, making a fire in the rain, feels very enjoyable
Yep
Hey there brother great to see you back with this new video and especially because now we all have a bit more time to enjoy your video and content with this extra video fotage you are providing again thank you for your hard work in making all this possible 😊
❤
Your videos are so addicting! I’m living vicariously through you guys. My husband and I love backpacking but I am recovering from a spinal fusion. Counting down the days until we can get out there again!
Hey good luck with your recovery
Love your video it make me happy, I love nature thank you. God bless.
nice content to watch as i am snuggled in bed in rural NY. you earned those tasty burgers!
Wow what a camp, you totally smashed it though, especially that fire! Positive vibe throughout which was just great, such neat filming angles too, really captured those wild conditions. One thing about NZ is no matter what the season, there's always a twist.
Nice to see someone else battling the elements ! I have yet to find a tent that is completely waterproof by itself. With that, if starting to rain I rig a large tarp over the tent site then set up tent. My tarp size is big enough that it completely covers the tent area and a few feet past its footprint . This so you can have a dry apron to hang out. Even with a full coverage rainfly on my old 'built like a tank' NF VE-24 a tarp gives that xtra added comfort level. The important thing is to know how to rig it so a line or corner wont cut loose in high winds / rain
No tent will be waterproof. The floor is possible and essentially standard with tent that have floors, but the tops are made cheap and often have mesh with crappy rainflies. Tarp are a must in practically every tenting situation when heavy rain is potential.
Thanks for the video , I really enjoyed the beautiful nature , the rain wind and amazing fire 🔥 flames with wind , felt the air too to be honest , a good out of this crazy world and in to yours and peaceful one 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️
I never watch an entire video that’s long but this was an absolute delight. Cheers mate for filming such fire content. Love from India.
Hey, you’re videos are my favourite thing to settle down to before I going to sleep. Nothing to worry about, just what happens there and then. How you master the hard elements are very interesting to watch. Filming excellent. Thanks 😀
Thanks appreciate the comment
I'm laying in bed. I'll snuggled up and warm and you are adventurous and brave. I don't think I could have done it without zwen's howling and that rain coming down like that I mean. Cheers to you bravo. I love watching your videos
Hell of a storm but extremely exciting. Did rainstorms but nothing as ferocious as that. Great video.
The extra tarp is a great idea. I have just fabricated a 3 metre by 3 meter dyneema fabric tarp ... for this kind of applicaion ... and as a sun shade (rigged over a convenient bush, with a couples of hiking poles. But this video - showed how nice is is to have one, when it's really coming down. Makes pack up a lot better. Cheers.
Great watch, keep it up, and all the best for the future you seem like a great chap.
It’s been 40 years since I was out in a storm like that on the Appalachian Trail but your experience brought it all back in vivid detail! LOL! It was the worst and the best of times! Thanks for sharing and I absolutely love those coffee filters! Links to an Amazon shop would be appreciated!
I love hearing the rain from a storm on the case of the airconditioner.
Too old to do this sort of thing in the wilderness anymore. Enjoy it while you can.
