Can’t beat open spaces in comfy tents, warm drinks, biscuits & yummy food while out in nature. Back to basics with comfort is just wonderful. Thank you Oz😊
35:18 Hi Peter, enjoyed the video and After you showed the Pronto airtent I bought my own. Only I had to buy the Pronto 5, because here in Holland they don’t sell the Pronto 4. Great tent! I like your Adventures, and Car camping is something we can do in Holland. Thank you for your efforts, by taking us with your camps. Gr. Leon. 😊already looking forward to the next one.
The 5 is a good tent. I like the way the awning is attached, it seems to work a little better than the 4 in the rain. I find car camping better in the winter as I can take a few more luxuries and warm clothes!! Thanks for watching, and the kind words, it is appreciated.
I see you have the campground to yourself again - that's good planning! I was going to say it's hard to make a small batch of chili, but you made that look like a single serving. We like kidney, black, and pinto beans in our chili; it's also good on hash browns in the morning or for dinner! I'm always looking for someone else's take on plant-based meals, so I appreciate you coming up with something, but you should cook what you like. I'm also a Trangia fan - what a clever system they've created.
It mid-winter and only the hardy, or maybe fool-hardy, are out! Makes it easy to find an empty campground. I never seem to have enough for tomorrows meal. Leftovers? No idea what they are! My wife is a vegetarian and I enjoy good food, so Im happy with or without meat, as long as its tasty. Yep, Trangia is a simple, but very clever system.
Dunno about the young fella comment, but I'll take it. I'll be doing a venison stew in the future, I just need to harvest a deer first. Thanks for watching.
@@OAPAdventures It's a great place, with 8 different campsites. If you want to get away from it all, I would recommend a walk up to the gorge, Further up the river.
@@gregarmstrong5043 I have walked up the valley to Moss Camp and the Pinnacles. I had just not stayed at any of the camping grounds. I imagine it will be busy over summer, but for me, its a great spot for a quiet winter camp.
We are relatively mild in terms of the temperatures. In my area its rare to get below 0 DegC. A water bottle filled with hot water does the trick. Thanks for watching.
Update: Hi, I made your chili. It is yummy. I topped it with sour cream and chives and grated parmesan cheese. Served it over rice. Used Naan to Scoop it up. Delicious!
The table is a generic table made in China and sold by a number of retailers, but each brand as their own. The tent is made by Zempire and is called a Pronto 4. Tent: zempire.co.nz/pronto-4-v2 Table: zempire.co.nz/slatpac-standard
Hi Pete, thanks for the video. Can I ask what kind of lantern you were using in this video? Would you have a brand or a link you could share by any chance? Thanks again for your filming - keep up the great content!
I have had them for over 20 years. The brand is UCO and they are their Candle Lanterns. If you're in NZ try: www.gearshop.co.nz/products/uco-original-candle-lantern. Thanks for watching.
The next video is to a hut, but I am planning on getting out in the Zempire in the next week or 2. Thanks for the encouragement, it really helps to know some-one enjoys the vids.
Really informative video, thank you! I live in Perth, Western Australia and I'm also thinking of buying a Pronto 4. Just wondering if you have used it in windy conditions and how well it performed? I'm also a little concerned that the awning doesn't cover the sides, so in rain and wind could rain find its way into the tent that way?
Its fine in the wind. I use all the ropes and keep things tight. The awning is small and doesnt protect from the rain as much as I would like. I try to pitch the tent with the rear facing the wind/weather so the rain blows over the tent. If the rain is coming from one side of the tent, I will drop the awning on that side by reducing the height of the pole and zipping the awning further down the tent sides. You can see that in the thumbnail photo. Its not perfect, but it mostly works. In saying that, I have been out in very heavy rain and strong winds. However, there are better options for a Zempire tent if you are looking for an awning that fully covers the sides. Thanks for watching.
@@OAPAdventures Thanks so much for taking the trouble to reply - very much appreciated! One very last question. The fly also doesn't cover the sides either - any problems with water getting in there! Thank you!
@@richardlailey6142 Its a strange design with the windows and the tent sides etc and I was a little concerned. In practise, it does work. I have not had any leaks through the seems around the windows, or the walls, from the rain driving into the sides.
Both lanterns are made by UCO. They were a gift to me 20 plus years ago. I assume they are still available, but I haven't seen them in any of the local stores.

Yes, you are right. Add to that some solitude and you have the perfect camp. Thanks for watching.

Great set up young fella, I would have added heaps of garlic and minced venison to the chilli, and being a Scotsman a bottle of whisky before bed.
Dunno about the young fella comment, but I'll take it. I'll be doing a venison stew in the future, I just need to harvest a deer first. Thanks for watching.
Thanks,another great video. Love the K valley, it's been my goto happy place for many many years.
I had not been there before. I will certainly be back.

Hey mate just found your channel, really enjoying it, great work.
You are obviously a person of good taste! Thanks for the kind words, and for watching.
Brilliant video thoroughly enjoyed it
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching.
Yes. OZ. Subbed.

Yet another sick drop
Cheers
Looks delicious.
Tasted good, too.
Awesome 🆒️ 🎉
Thanks. and thanks for stopping by and watching.
A heat pal could be useful when camping in the cold

Enjoyed your video. I'm looking forward to making your chili recipe.
That's great. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know how you get on. Thanks for watching.

@@maryellencasterline2595 The sour cream is a great idea. I'll do that next time. Im glad you liked it.

Always enjoy your videos, especially with the Zempire tent. Got any more planned?

Where can I buy a tent and table like that ?
Have you been over the hill to Waiwawa campsite?
No, I havent. I did stay in the Waiwawa Hut, waaaaayyyy back in the day before it was removed. Is the camp area in the Waiwawa reserve?
I like the lantern, where you get it?
Both lanterns are made by UCO. They were a gift to me 20 plus years ago. I assume they are still available, but I haven't seen them in any of the local stores.
Why don't you put the rice straight into the currie, save a dish to wash and use less fuel.
I had a very good reason. I didnt think of it. Thanks for watching.
