Abel, it's always a pleasure to follow your adventures and life experiences and to see your channel grow. Whether it's your engagement and marriage to lovely Victoria, the birth of Penelope on the personal side, to the many diverse camping conditions and equipment (storms, floods, glorious calmness, hot, wet, windy, freezing cold, aches and pains), you've generously shared it all. Your future plans sound great, but no matter what you continue to post, the one constant that continues to draw folks to your channel is your welcoming demeanor and love of sharing the outdoors. This was a wonderful camp, as usual. ✌️🇨🇦
Watching from Michigan, USA. I enjoy watching your videos. You camp exactly the way I used to. I'm 70 now and can't because of mobility issues . Keep the videos coming. God bless.
Hello from Tennessee in the USA. As always, love the videos and content you put out, The countryside looks AWESOME SO PEACEFUL NOTHING CAN EVER BEAT BEING OUT IN NATURE. Thanks for the update on your wife and child. Take care till next time.
Have you tried reversing the Aeropress . Put the plunger in to number four, turn it on its head and put the coffee in. Pour a small amount of boiling water in to soak the coffee granules, wait a few minutes and give it a good stir add hot water to the brim of the Aeropress. Screw in the filter basket with a paper in, and very quickly turn it over the cup, then plunge. Easy!!
@@AbelandVictoria It's called the inversion method, there's arguments over whether it's the superior method. It negates the drip at the beginning which some people don't like as it's weak and mesy.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your family. Thanks for all the fun videos, the effort, and for taking us along for the ride…great job! BTW, I also brew and enjoy coffee.
Nice video, Abel. Great to hear you and your wife and new child are doing well. It has been a fantastic year. Looking forward to next year ,the van build, and many new adventures. Thanks for taking us along on this one. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Great video Abel. Back to the intense wind and rain. You made it look easy to set up camp and I know it wasn’t. To see that camp the next morning with that view of the valley was incredible. I couldn’t believe you have summer that far along where it was so light at 8:30 pm. Always love the hotdog meals! They look so good. Great news on the vehicle. Can’t wait for that. Thanks for the year of all the epic camps Abel. I enjoyed every second. Merry Christmas to you , Veronica and Penelope. Enjoy the holidays if this video closes out the year. Thanks for all Abel!!!
A tip regarding the aeropress: turn it upside down, then the coffee, water, and last the filter and lid. Then you avoid the dripping 😃 Merry Christmas!
Hi Abel. I can’t wait to hear of your beautiful Christmas with little Miss Penolope. So happy for you and Victoria. Merry Christmas to you all. This is gonna be a wet one. So I’m gonna enjoy. Think the world of you. You are a great family. ❤❤❤
I've been watching a lot of camping videos with people going through winter situations in mountains and are all amazing. I live in Greece and we do not have a strong culture that engages in this lifestyle but we do camp during the summer. Everytime i see these videos i wonder how much difficult -or not- would be for you to spent some days camping during the extreme heatwaves we are facing and living on hot sand. I also wonder if it would be extremely difficult for us to experience camping with low temperatures, rain, snow etc. It would be awesome to see in the future a video that highlights the differences as well as the different equipment needs. Thanks for the videos Abel. Enjoy nature!
Yup, @ 13:13, your campsite is just like England. We get 31 degrees in the summer too, plus long days and of course - rain. FYI; Most proper blokes here have strong tea with just a splash of milk. Not many have sugar and we don’t slurp like you mate! Your capacity for get a clip round your ear from your mom for slurping your tea 😅. Your capacity for hot dogs never ceases to amaze me.
I found your channel early one morning while on sick child duty! Love watching them regularly now. My Dad and I did the Leslie-Karamea Track in 6 days and half of that was in my dad’s size 11 crocks after the soles of my much loved old tramping boots fell off! Keep the videos coming! And best holiday wishes to you and your family.
Happy holidays! I have become a huge fan of yours and always enjoy having my morning coffee while watching one of your videos. You’ve inspired me to want to get into backpacking. I’m more than halfway there with all of my bike packing gear so it seems like a natural next step. Truly enjoy all of your videos and your lighthearted nature that always comes with a smile and a positive attitude, no matter the circumstance. Much love from New York!
Hi Been watching your videos for about 3 months .. ( even back tracked on to your older ones ) all very enjoyable.. Yeah the weather your having is this video is very uk .. Though we had recently snow a couple of weeks ago .. then this weekend heavy rain and a two day storm.. Have a happy life with your family.. and I'll keep on enjoying your videos... 🙂 ( am i mid wales) ..
Your kit is a bit of backcountry luxury. I recently got a similar Helinox table and didn’t realise how much it enhances the cooking and eating experience in the rare case you don’t have a perfectly placed log or rock. My back is both thanking me and not hating me too much for the extra weight. Thank you for sharing your life with us m8. I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas!
I used to invert my aeropress until I purchased a “Primo” it’s a metal filter and non drip valve and so are reusable so remove need for one use filters. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄awesome growth 👏👏👏
Great camp Abel! Even if you didn't have a campfire. But you did the right thing by not having one because it looked like the wind was blowing way too much for it. I know you could have had one as wet as it was, you've proven that over and over. The plans for your channel sounds promising. I.I'm looking forward to seeing it. Hope you have a great week! By the way, with Christmas coming, you get to be Santa Claus 😮😅
Always love your videos Abel. Looks a lot like Lancashire, Yorkshire England. Especially the weather 😂 hope Victoria and baby are well. Peace and love brother ❤💙🙏 Paul 🏴
I love the rain, wind and snow tent camping videos, but not quite as much when I go out to do it on my own ... I built a "portable cabin" that I have been testing out. Way more work to transport and set up than a tent, but really nice and comfy to camp in. I am hoping for a snow storm in Colorado before Christmas so I can camp in it again.
Nice cozy video Abel . Always love a good rain video. I'm not big on hotdogs but I gotta admit those looked scrumptious. New Zealand is so very beautiful! That wind was wicked so good job tacking everything down. Good to see those cute little wekas out and about! Cheers from the U.S.❤
I appreciate your videos a lot and the effort it takes to make each one Abel, it's getting me through some tough times in my life and I enjoy each and every single one of them. I had to go make a hot dog while watching this, it's only right lol!
We in the uk have had 2 big storms in the last couple of weeks with the last storm, we had 95 mph winds. 2 people sadly died. It is very much like Scotland with the rolling hills and the mist.
Had the same aeropress issue. I put the plunger "just" in the body, turned it all upside down and put the coffee and water in then screwed on the filter and filter cap. I've never seen anyone eat 6 hotdogs in one go. Very impressive indeed :)
Hello Able Victoria and Penelope, cool camp once again 😎 love the Idea of the Hiace Van Honestly I don't think you can't go past Toyota looking forward to that for sure, and if there are businesses out that can anyway support and help you with your channel go for it ,why the he'll not I say 😀 Wishing you Victoria and Gorgeous Penelope a Very Merry happy Christmas and a super fun filled Exciting new year .Thankyou Able for a great year very Enjoyable 😉 😂❤❤
Root my mate! Let’s GOO! Daddyoooo! :) We’ve just had storm Darragh, here In the UK. No snow that was earlier in the month but High winds and It has been bitterly cold! Take my mate! Hope Vic and Penelope are good! The winds here caused, Carnage, mate! Stay safe!
Blimey mate, just like our summer here in the UK. Rain, rain & more blasted rain. We haven’t seen the sun in weeks. Constantly overcast! Least you’re getting out though. 👍 All the best - Andy
Pick up some of Doris’s sausages from the Motueka Market for your next hot dog session. Also you can flip the aeropress upside down fill it then put the filter cap on and flip it over.
Abel, I always appreciate no matter how bad the conditions, you set the tent up correctly and completely!
Very Merry Christmas to you and yours. Enjoy baby’s first Christmas.
😀

Thank you. I hope 2025 is going to be great. I think it will be and I’m excited for it so I hope everyone enjoys it.
Downright amazing how something as simple as a hot dog, can be dressed up to something epic.
Watching from Michigan, USA. I enjoy watching your videos. You camp exactly the way I used to. I'm 70 now and can't because of mobility issues . Keep the videos coming. God bless.
Love your videos. I found your channel back in June and never miss a new one. Keep up the great work
Surprisingly alot like scotland you should come over one day check out the scenery over here and crazy weather.
Brilliant video cheers
Hello from Tennessee in the USA. As always, love the videos and content you put out, The countryside looks AWESOME SO PEACEFUL NOTHING CAN EVER BEAT BEING OUT IN NATURE. Thanks for the update on your wife and child. Take care till next time.
❤E. Tn here I absolutely love the videos always a great show. Merry Christmas everyone ❤
Enjoy those individual beef filets Joey Chestnut. LOL as always thank you for content
I love how you use a tarp to create livable area outside the tent on rainy/snowy trips. I wish I were as good at it as you are!
Love watching this guy... I find it exciting that he shows the seasons down under are so different from us in the Northern side. Great videos...
Thanks
Great to see you. Hope your lovely family is ok. 👍😘🇬🇧
Hi Abel and Victoria Family wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025😊

The cut to the opening of the bun and 'Gentle'. Bloody good job.
Don't want any tearing. Sound advice.
Here we go. 😊
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your family.

Looking forward to that vid with your brother. Hope your wife and daughter are well mate.

Abel. Hotdogs are awesome. MUSTARD, ONIONS maybe relish🤔but ABSOLUTELY NO KETCHUP!!! add a little jalapeño for a level up if you like but NO ketchup
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄🎄
Been looking forwards to this!
Your kit is a bit of backcountry luxury. I recently got a similar Helinox table and didn’t realise how much it enhances the cooking and eating experience in the rare case you don’t have a perfectly placed log or rock. My back is both thanking me and not hating me too much for the extra weight.
Thank you for sharing your life with us m8. I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas!
Yea table and chair nice to have. Cheers
How’s babygirl and Victoria? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!🎈🎆🎊
Very good thank you. Merry Christmas 🎅

Love your vids man! Your future plans for the channel sounds really exciting and I’m looking forward to seeing the adventures continue.
The van should be a cool addition and get me more places
Hello Abel 💓 thanks for sharing
I used to invert my aeropress until I purchased a “Primo” it’s a metal filter and non drip valve and so are reusable so remove need for one use filters. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄awesome growth 👏👏👏

I've never seen anyone eat 6 hotdogs in one go. Very impressive indeed :)
Absolutely, the upside down method :D use that all the time when brewing to let it sit for a few minutes
Hello Able Victoria and Penelope, cool camp once again 😎 love the Idea of the Hiace Van Honestly I don't think you can't go past Toyota looking forward to that for sure, and if there are businesses out that can anyway support and help you with your channel go for it ,why the he'll not I say 😀 Wishing you Victoria and Gorgeous Penelope a Very Merry happy Christmas and a super fun filled Exciting new year .Thankyou Able for a great year very Enjoyable 😉 😂❤❤

No snow that was earlier in the month but High winds and It has been bitterly cold!
Take my mate!
Hope Vic and Penelope are good!
The winds here caused, Carnage, mate!
Stay safe!
I miss winter man. Summer warm piss rain is sad. Cheers mate
Blimey mate, just like our summer here in the UK. Rain, rain & more blasted rain. We haven’t seen the sun in weeks. Constantly overcast! Least you’re getting out though. 👍 All the best - Andy
Wow very amazing I really enjoye ❤❤❤
I would much rather see a short promotional segment than not see you. Keep doing what you're doing! 😁
Allows me to get more stuff. Van build going to be rather costly
Looking forward to an epic Anton and Abel tramp! Always entertaining. I'll be hanging out for that one. Merry xmas.
Cooooooooool !
Pick up some of Doris’s sausages from the Motueka Market for your next hot dog session.
Also you can flip the aeropress upside down fill it then put the filter cap on and flip it over.
Yes I second Doris' german sausages!!
Yeah! Stormy weather
