“What’s my least useful finger” is my favorite quote from Kara! I started watching your vlogs on the Siberian Railway and have started at the beginning. Love watching your travels!
When I was in college, I had just accidentally walked into a pole chipping my teeth and was in so much pain. I was sitting down at dinner in the cafeteria and accidentally knocked everyone drinks on the table spilling it everywhere. My friends around me said the same thing "This is why we can’t have nice things, Lilli.", I was so delirious with pain from the tooth that I burst into laughter and fell out my chair. Since then anytime I "This is why we can’t have nice things...." it makes me smile.
You two are so happy and funny and make me want to see the world so much! I really hope a TV station picks you up as travel presenters - I would definitely watch that show.
this is this most accurate description of a wicked camper! We hired one in Canada and our accelerator cable got stuck on going down a hill, also used our travel pillows and packing cubes as pillows!
Lars is like that old friend whose been with you a while, who is reliable and always there for you, but is absolutely embarrassing when you take him out in public and you always feel the need to apologize for him. 😆
I just recently found your videos and have been binge watching them for 2 days. My 5 yr old granddaughter is watching with me and when you put your hand in the lake and said it was hot, she said "well then don't touch it" lol.
Love your vlogs, only just found them. Hope yu enjoyed your time in beautiful NZ. I hate Wicked campers & have no idea how they are still in business. Jucy is cheap, but so much better or a one way option is finding something that needs relocating.
I'm from Iceland, and it amazes me that there is a country across the globe that is VERY VERY similar to Iceland. NZ has been my dream country to visit.
OMG! I missed camping, we used to have a tent trailer for many years when my kids were young. We did many road trips, we even did a road trip to Yellowstone National Park (which was 2 days drive from here). We had so many great memories from our trips, it was so much fun. This vlog reminded me of our camping trip to Yellowstone, thermal hot water everywhere, was so cool to see and feel the hot water coming out from the ground. Kara! FYI: I would consider pinky finger is the most important finger out of all, just think what you can do with it, lol... I feel like I had know you guys for many year since I started watching your first vlog in January. Love every single videos! Can't wait to see more vlog from you. Thank you so much for sharing and hope you'll have a safe trip to Nepal. Happy travel and safe journey. Your BIG fan from Canada! Stan
We have wicked campervans in Australia too and they are awful. I hate the crude sayings they have all over them! Definitely spend more to get a different one! Great video though, guys :)
You did the TimTam Slam!!! Told you it was amazing! Also, after talking to so many people about how much I love your VLogs... I found out we went to Beech together! I was class of 06! My best friends little sister knows Kara and I played softball with Stacia in High School. Seriously crazy how small the world is! Bucs for life!
Kara: it's literally boiling from the earth's core. I wish I knew more. Yeah that Beech High School education didn't get us very far. But..you did successfully make a rhyme there 🤣🤣
@@kadebuyle1005 not anymore but considering getting a better van to fit a lot of animals and family and not renting. Hoping to get some pieces of land and making small cement dome homes and growing food. An ambulance makes a good RV
@@kadebuyle1005 it was alright with a car. Homeless without a car is unpleasant extremely in Washington state especially now when everyone is on drugs there. Homeless in warmer places could have benefits. Homeless while it's always raining sucks. With a car it's not too bad because you have a house. Made tacos on a rocket stove and oatmeal inside the Buick. Keeps stuff minimal. It's not too bad temporarily. Especially if you go to food banks have a cooler and free meals and stuff. Only thing you need to come up with is gas.
@@kadebuyle1005 oh yeah and get like a $10 24 hr gym membership you can workout change shower and use the bathroom. Don't stay in one place too long unless you're rural enough or allowed to.
A tip for a cheap trip is to rent a cheap car and buy a tent with gear(sleeping bag is a must on the south island even in summer) on a big store like "The Warehouse"(not the expensive outdoors stores). Then just give the gear to charity after your trip if you can´t take it home. The price will be the same, if not cheaper, then a campervan. The only thing that comes extra is the setting up/packing down of the tent, but you get good at that after some day :) Oh, a headlamp is recommended if you get late to camp-sites and need to pitch the tent in the dark. We did it for one month, staying for more then one night in some place of course, two weeks on the south and two on the north island. peace
And there is the natural reason why NZ is so good at the Canoe and Kayak white water medals at world and olympic levels. I would also like to say two weeks might work if your really just doing one island. You're right you did get a very timid wicked Van the same thing started happening in Australia at about the same time when it came to camping grounds
Wow!...ok I'm getting TimTams tomorrow and trying the TimTams slam...that looks so yummy!! :0) you've seen some pretty cool stuff on ur travels...but a having a lake that when ya touch the sand it's warm...that's pretty cool :) BIG HUGS FROM IDAHO
You have guts driving that van. I see they rent in the UK as well, but I think I would pay a little more not to stand out from the crowd so much. Great video.
Nate is such a softie sometimes lol. Man did the Colorado Trail with little mountain biking experience but won’t hover his pinky over steam lol also, that’s not lewd graphics.
She would have been selling it. Freedom camping spots would attract heaps of dealers. New Zealand is known for having pretty good weed and freedom camping spots are often full of poor, stoner backpackers.
Omg I nearly died when the guy asked if you wanted weed. I swear, if there was any editing in that part of the video instead of one continuous shot I would have cracked up.
Yeah, but I think even New Zealanders have forgotten that Chit-Chats are the New Zealand version of Tim Tams... and Chit-Chats even taste better, IMO. :)
Considering the look of the van, I'm surprised that's the first time you got asked about smoking weed! Lol!
My thoughts exactly
i was about to post the same thing
Jajajajajaja 😂😂😂 so true
These vans have more or less been banned now because of offensive language on them
Wooooow
“What’s my least useful finger” is my favorite quote from Kara! I started watching your vlogs on the Siberian Railway and have started at the beginning. Love watching your travels!
That's how I got started! :)
Me too!
That's weird, so did I. Lol
Me too!!
Me too! I watched Trans Siberian and then the Everest vlogs, and then decided that I needed to go back and watch from the beginning!
“This is why we can’t have nice things, Kara. This is why we’re in a wicked camper van,” 😂🤣😂

😂😂😂
it was probably the van that signaled we want some weed lol too funny
😂😂😂
You two are so happy and funny and make me want to see the world so much! I really hope a TV station picks you up as travel presenters - I would definitely watch that show.
they are too good for tv
@@BryanAiello TV is too commercial for them 😏
Kara's face when the lady goes "Do you guys smoke weed" was priceless as you see it register what's being asked.
What was even funnier to me was the instant VROOOOOOOM lmaooo. smoking a joint in NZ sounds so nice but getting caught with it doesn't lol
Pretty sure that camper van is what led to the assumption that they did 😂
I’m thinking they were looking to buy some weed because they saw the van.
😂
Those beautiful black swans! That random horse! The boiling mud & lake! Those cute little ducks! This place is so odd & cool!
I am impressed with kara being willing to do Everest. Must be just for the love of Nate. Inspiring.
Excuse me while I pause my binge watching to run out and buy some Tim Tams :-)
this is this most accurate description of a wicked camper! We hired one in Canada and our accelerator cable got stuck on going down a hill, also used our travel pillows and packing cubes as pillows!
Nate looked very chilly. I've ordered some Tim Tams so the hubby and I can try them. I've said it before, you two are the cutest couple.
+peepercoco you ordered some?! You will love them!!! What flavor did you get? Dark chocolate is my favorite so far!
+Kara and Nate we got two packages chocolate and Carmel :)
Watching now and just thinking of the upgrade they have now in 2020
Lars is like that old friend whose been with you a while, who is reliable and always there for you, but is absolutely embarrassing when you take him out in public and you always feel the need to apologize for him. 😆
EXACTLY 😂 Your comments are the best!
Awwww, thank you so much! I can't tell you how much that means to me!! 😊😊😘😘
Been trying to watch all of your vlogs from start to finish. They just keep getting better!!
I just recently found your videos and have been binge watching them for 2 days. My 5 yr old granddaughter is watching with me and when you put your hand in the lake and said it was hot, she said "well then don't touch it" lol.
Aww cute
Just came from watching your new van tour! Such an upgrade! Amazing!!! Congrats!
Vlogs of New Zeeland my favorite. I Like your format, your jokes and vision of camplife. I see you not too much but I love you more and more!!!
This was both a TimTam and Wicked Campervan slam. Loved it!
I see what you did there. :D :D :D
Y’all are my favorite traveling couple ever cheers
Don't smoke the weed cause when you run out of Tim Tam's you'll need to drive to the next shop for Munchies. 🤣♥️🇦🇺
Love your vlogs, only just found them. Hope yu enjoyed your time in beautiful NZ. I hate Wicked campers & have no idea how they are still in business. Jucy is cheap, but so much better or a one way option is finding something that needs relocating.
I'm from Iceland, and it amazes me that there is a country across the globe that is VERY VERY similar to Iceland. NZ has been my dream country to visit.
Nataliaostap I’m from NZ I’d love to visit Iceland and other Nordic countries
"You guys smoke weed?" 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dying!!!
typical new zealanders lol
Watching in 2022 as well..Kara and Nate you guys look so young. The progress and growth is amazing! Xoxo from Dallas Texas 💕
“It’s pretty hot...I’m going to do it again.” 😂😂❤️❤️
I'm a chef and avid camper and use those stoves all the time. They cost about $20. Great for omelet bar parties.
Bourbon Tim tam slam - it’s as life changing as a pickleback
Welcome to my home country.... lots of amazing various things to try.. ☺️
A magical place.
Apart from the baby seals, this is my favorite New Zealand vlog so far lol. Strictly from the weed offer and Kara’s useless finger
😂😂😂
This one sums up NZ . Loved your pronunciation of "rotora". (Row-tor-roo-a)
Love the energy during the tour! Lol
Nate and Kara you should come back. I'd love to help you learn Te Reo Maori pronounciation!
The R town is Ro-to-roo-ah
Rotorua
Just tried the tim Tam slam... gotta say I'm a fan!
Yesss we did this in college! They sell timtams at target!
"What's my least useful finger?"
"Do you guys smoke weed?"
"Oh, I was wondering who all that poop was from"
So many great quotes from this video

You guys missed out on 90 mile beach, so worth it!
Love your RUclips channel ❤️
You guys smoke weed 😂😂 I choked on my tea
Excellent on the stars film... loved it
My family and I are in Taupo right now, we just went to Huka Falls yesterday, we got to go on the jet boat which was so much fun!
That van is too hilarious!
You did the TimTam Slam!!! Told you it was amazing!
Also, after talking to so many people about how much I love your VLogs... I found out we went to Beech together! I was class of 06! My best friends little sister knows Kara and I played softball with Stacia in High School. Seriously crazy how small the world is! Bucs for life!
+Shlee Warren No way!!! That's crazy! I am class of '09 and Nate was '07. Wh knew?!? Who is your friend's sister? And I love Stacia! Go Bucs :)
+Kara and Nate Natalie Heflin :) also my little cousin played football with your brother. Aaron Pecenka.... Seriously such a small world!
+Shlee Warren WHAT! That is seriously so crazy!!! So glad we made that connection!
Kara: it's literally boiling from the earth's core. I wish I knew more.
Yeah that Beech High School education didn't get us very far. But..you did successfully make a rhyme there 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s pretty hot!
Imma doin it again...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watching this in 2022. Nice to see your progress, yet you are still pretty much the same.
Tim Tam Slam reminds me of when I'd do the same with Timeout bars growing up, any British or Irish viewers will hopefully know 😂
The swans are so cool!
Wow it's a slightly better setup than when we were homeless in a 94 Buick Century.
Are you still homeless. And what was it Iike.

Rotorua! Row toe roowa
First van tour
Camper van tour was fun :P Beautiful vlog
Okay, did someone else notice Nate's PEANUT BUTTER t-shirt?

Awesome your in nz! Please come back if love to meet you
Tim Tams are Australian not New Zealand. And they're sooo good.
natenation actually they are both.. but the Tim tam slam is Australian haha I’m from nz and only heard of it through buzzfeed lol
And there is the natural reason why NZ is so good at the Canoe and Kayak white water medals at world and olympic levels. I would also like to say two weeks might work if your really just doing one island. You're right you did get a very timid wicked Van the same thing started happening in Australia at about the same time when it came to camping grounds
So many good laughs from this one
5:26 Haha! "All the nasty coughing kids in the background"
I scream laughed at that part 🤣🤣🤣
Wow!...ok I'm getting TimTams tomorrow and trying the TimTams slam...that looks so yummy!! :0) you've seen some pretty cool stuff on ur travels...but a having a lake that when ya touch the sand it's warm...that's pretty cool :) BIG HUGS FROM IDAHO
Gotta to love the B rolls
Glad your new van is much better than the wicked van 😂 you both have grown so much as respectful and humble world travelers
You have guts driving that van. I see they rent in the UK as well, but I think I would pay a little more not to stand out from the crowd so much. Great video.
I was CRYING at the weed lady 😂😂
Love the slam! That swan is burnt to a crisp. lol
The horse could've been a kelpie!
I didn't cross it. I stuck my finger in it with my most unusable finger. LOL!!!!!! This needs to be a bumper sticker!!!🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been to huka falls before
Omg, I didn't know these New Zealand vlogs were so funny! Definitely what I needed on this gloomy, rainy afternoon :-D
Nate is such a softie sometimes lol. Man did the Colorado Trail with little mountain biking experience but won’t hover his pinky over steam lol also, that’s not lewd graphics.
I went back and started from the beginning. Its so funny to see you guys in this van 🤣🤣🤣🤣 did this prepare yall for sprinter can life?
Ow Huka Falls is so cool when you go on it with a speedboat. I went on one of those and if you're a speed junky you should do it.
Laughed at the people trying to sell you weed. Those timtams looked delicious, and the water at Haku falls is just gorgeous!
great videos :)
Lol now I know if I ever drive across NZ I gotta get a camper and people will offer me weed 😂
U guys are great.
“You guys smoke weed?!” I died 😂
Lol!! Love it that they tried to sell you weed!
“Do you smoke weed?” Lol like that wasn’t completely random...I do wonder if she was selling or looking for some though....🤣
She would have been selling it. Freedom camping spots would attract heaps of dealers. New Zealand is known for having pretty good weed and freedom camping spots are often full of poor, stoner backpackers.
@Helmholtz maybe what she really means by "pretty good weed" is a "good quality weed"?😂😂
I love this
Omg I nearly died when the guy asked if you wanted weed. I swear, if there was any editing in that part of the video instead of one continuous shot I would have cracked up.
classic....rving in nz is awesome, got same plans in dec 2020
I need a Kara in my life
Boy, did they ever hit up the wrong couple for a weed sale. Hilarious!
The Wicked Van reminds me of the latest National Lampoons movie with the 2015 Tartan Prancer. "Don't push the button with the swastika on it!"
Don't you love it when random things happen in the middle of filming! Note: not being sarcastic :)
What campsite did you stay at in Rotorua? Would you recommend it?
a good place to visit is hells gate just outside of rotorua
Now I have to google and figure out how to get Tim Tams in Texas.. LOL
Great episode of you two! First fist punching... Now killing each other with shuffle...lol
TimTams are Australian
Yeah, but I think even New Zealanders have forgotten that Chit-Chats are the New Zealand version of Tim Tams... and Chit-Chats even taste better, IMO. :)
so is pavlova
@Daniel Really!! Wow thanks for telling me that. I wouldnt of known! You twat!
Nate, was the show you watched the two guys dig their own hot tub in the sand called Departures? I love that travel show so much!
This is your cutest vlog so far. Made me want to pet you.. Hehe
That was too funny! You guys smoke weed! LOL
Whats this background song called? Definitely one of my favorites so far
How do the swans not get cooked swimming in the boiling lake?
I bought one and I did it, they are delicious
