Hi Abel, I am nearly 71 but I understand completely why you love doing what your doing. I remember my Dad saying after work, (come on were going camping) It was very exciting way back then. At the start of our camping, he only had a motorbike and a small tarp. But we did it, and it was great. Then he built a sidebar that looked like a mini caravan, and we loved it. I'm jealous and happy that people like you are still doing it. Love, love your channel xxx Whoops congratulations to you and Victoria on your wonderful news 😀
Completely agree comments below - I only came acoss you a few weeks ago, but your A & V videos are brilliant. I'm not sure what is so captivating and actually calming about watching you enjoy your camp in the pouring rain, but it does. Like Sally V below, I have turned 70, but still remember great camping trips with my father on some little islands off the coast of Northern Ireland.
Hey Able, so many things to comment on this video. But, let's just address the most important! Glad Victoria and the baby are doing well! Looking forward to your camp together. You have inspired me to get out camping again. So, thank you!
Abel thank you for this enjoyable camping adventure. The meal looked delicious no matter how it turned out . Want to thank the both of you for sharing your little ones first picture ❤ . Sending well wishes to the 3 of you . Stay safe til next time . 😊
Hello Abel and Victoria ❤ You are an absolute GENIUS at CHOPPING WOOD..you are teaching us a few tricks 😊 that Weka is becoming some good company for you .. stay WARM over there ❤
So glad Victoria is feeling well & bebe is growing. Love Frederick lol so glad you named him lmao I went out for 1st camp and brought Brioche buns… delicious!!
Hi my name is Juan and I'm from fort Worth Texas I learn a lot from you I love your show congratsalion to you and your wife on your baby God bless you all
Well hello Abel and Victoria it's always amazing to see another amazing video glad the cute baby is doing well li really enjoy watching you're camping video
Despite the stormy weather, your ability to create such a serene and cozy atmosphere is truly remarkable! The sound of rain, the warmth of the campfire, and the beauty of nature you’ve captured is mesmerizing. It’s videos like these that remind us of the simple joys of camping, no matter the weather. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌧️🔥🏕️ #CampingInTheRain #NatureLovers #StormChasers
I appreciate all the time and work spent on organizing, packing and carrying out these lovely camp overs! And soon you’ll have a little one to tote along as well👶🏼❤
hi guys, so glad to hear that the baby's doing well. this was one of the best camps yet. I love the campfire and all the good food. I'm so happy for you both! Take care
Hi Abel, I am glad to hear that your wife and child are doing well. I like your tent and tarp setup. Your little bird friend is cute😊The steak and sweet potato dinner looked so delicious!
Thanks for sharing your latest adventure. It brings back fond memories of the trips my hubby & I did 20 years ago when we were around your age. In fact you & V have helped inspire me to get back into hiking & I did the Pelorus to Browning Route a couple of weeks back. Just wondered if you are planning a Beebys Knob trip & could take the drone as I miss your drone footage (knowing they are not allowed in our National Parks). Thanks again from a fellow Nelsonian.
I can relate to camping in the rain and storms. It makes it a real adventure. Abel, you and me both. Nothing mad about going on an adventure and testing/pushing yourself. I luv your channel, you have given me so many hints and ways of doing things differently, has helped me be a better camper....! 😂 But leave those poor funny birds alone, it's you invading there space....! 😂😂😂
So happy to hear everything is going well with your wee one. I absolutely love your camping videos...so natural and down to earth. You're bringing back memories for me! Thank you so much!
Great news about Victoria and the baby. Loved this camp especially the wekas. Those birds are funny similar to scrub jays we have here in Washington State. They steal stuff too. Looking forward to a snow camp in the near future. We're in late spring here but it has been cold, windy and rainy. Been using the wood stove in the house to take the chill off.
Great camp Abel! Congratulations on becoming a father 🥰. I’m a Nana and what a joy. Piecing the skin on your potatoes keeps them from exploding when cooking. You can tell they are done when they are fork tender. You can pierce through the foil without unwrapping it to test. Love your camping adventures! So relaxing.
I'm glad to hear that everything is OK with Victoria and the baby. In about 20 weeks, get ready for the most amazing event of your life. And that is being with Victoria when your baby is born.
After one of the videos and you said the sweet onion jam was amazing I bought some and you nailed it.. Fantastic stuff..glad you and your family to be are doing good.
I agree with you about the camping in the weather. I think its great and I learn alot from you about backpack camping. Oh I was wondering what are some of the wildlife hazards you have to watch out for. . Looking forward to your car camping video. Thanks
Not to discount all the effort it takes to build a camp, but you have the best life! To experience all this AND to return home at the end to your beautiful Victoria - you've got it made, Mate! You're a good man, and the two of you are lucky to have each other. ❤
I’m new to your channel and I may have watched episodes with the weka in it, but I am convinced you bring that bird with you for some nature interest. 😊
OLA Abel ..😮😢I tried to scream and warn you sweet potatoe was well done 😮😢before placing it on fire again...😂😂😂❤❤❤A sweet potatoe generally takes quarter the tym to bake on open fire...❤❤❤But I'm glad you still managed to save the day..and staying true to your followers without deleting or omitting any footage ...❤❤❤cos with you its totally transparent and wat we see is exactly wat we get from you guys...Be safe and stay BLESSED..VIC AND ABEL..ESP URS JUNIOR ...❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely enjoying this great video! The meal is amazing with the sweet potatoes 🍠! The sweet sneak pic of your baby! Can’t wait for the gender reveal! Also looking forward to seeing Victoria! You’re the best !
Sending love all the way from a Yorkshireman, get a box of Yorkshire tea and dunk hobnobs it’s like heaven on earth, the home of tea 😉👍🏻great vid man chill me right out
So happy to hear mum and baby are well. Such an exiting time. Oh man Abel, all that wood!!!! And all that carbon!!! It took me years to refine the baked spuds in the fire. Sometimes there was a tiny nucleus of cooked potato surrounded by a thick mantle of carbon. At some point my dad (dr) told me not to eat it. Great times. 😊
Double dunk is a must - chocolate facing inwards, let the chocolate melt slighty and enjoy your warm chocolaty, oaty biscuit. Grab a creme egg, make a hot chocolate, grab a spoon, put the creme egg on the spoon and dunk until covered for around 40 seconds or so, and then enjoy a warm mouthful of a chocolate explosion. Cheers, from 🇬🇧😊
@AbelandVictoria , well, considering you like hobnobs... they're bloody good double dunking and one gets through the packet rather quickly 😄 I like your content so I've recently subscribed. Wishing you, your wife and the newborn all the best. Cheers 🍻
G'day, It wasn't the Weka that took the butter, it was meeeee. 🤣 Glad Victoria is doing well. I did the same with spuds first time I tried them on the camp fire.
First thing is congratulations to you and Victoria on the new baby. I’ve seen a couple of your videos which I’ve really enjoyed so decided to subscribe so I don’t miss the adventure. I camp quite a bit and last year one of my friends turned his potato into ash cooking it on the fire , luckily I had extra so he didn’t starve. I can’t believe how close that bird stayed around your camp, but stealing the butter was just wrong 😅. Can’t wait for the next one, stay safe and have fun.
AH! the biscuits! Me too, I already told ya that BUT,,,to dunk, what I do is break the cookie in half, fold, chocolate inward. and pres-bloody-toe! No choc on fingers, --good grip on outside... and last bit is crispy, cause that is what ya are holding! give er a try mate..
Only problem with your vids Abel, you're giving me ideas on new trips to do 😂 that and I'm constantly trying to work out where you're camping 😂😂😂 Ps Congratulations to you and Victoria, you're life's about to get more fun ❤👍👍
Hey Abel, my name is Chris (UK) i have just started watching your content on youtube and i have to say, you are absolutely brilliant! i love watching you. i’ve been camping since a child with my father but only just recently took it up as a passion as an adult for myself! i’ve learned loads of things watching your videos and will continue to pick up your tricks as i go on my adventures! your awesome dude, your spirits are unstoppable! Keep up the good work!
@@AbelandVictoria Yeah man, Planning on traveling all alround Scotland. Thanks man! loving your content :) And Congrat to you and Victoria with the baby, WIsh yous all the best! Quick Question: What size tarp do you use?
Great set up ,is that probs the best looking tent ever ,ps you've tried the chocolate hobknobs the SAS of biccies ,what about the choccy covered malted milk you will luv em ❤
Nice adventure. Thanks for taking us along. Don't know if you have ever talked about that overhead lamp you are using there. It makes a nice soft glow. May I ask what brand it is? Great to hear good news on the developing Bushcrafter. Thanks for keeping us posted. ATB.
Abel, what an awesome camp. Really did feel cozy with the rock wall for your famous campfires. Being from Des Moines Iowa, I need to know what that tea was. Bal pier or something. Us Americans sometimes miss things on your accent.. What kind of milk or cream do you add? found the Hob nobs biscuits on Amazon so I can get those. Loved the sweet potato idea with onion rum mix. I was telling not to out them back in fire but that’s because I like the skin too…. Wagu looked magnificent. So excited for you and Victoria on the 20 week picture of baby. Thanks for sharing that with us. Loved this camp. Yay you had pancakes maybe not the butter but you had the maple syrup!!!! Thanks Abel!!
Abel, thanks for the tip in the coffee filters. I'd been wondering where to get some. How do you seal the too if the packets, heat sealed? Congrats to you and Victoria and look forward to seeing a camping trio 😊

Great news with Victora and the baby . Nice bashing on the fire wood. That dinner look so good what a great camp.
Thanks
Now you can add the rock's sound to the wood sound, wilderness music to the ears I say! 😊

I’m looking forward to the snow episodes! It’s a great break from the summer heat as someone from the northern hemisphere.
Thank you for your super crazy camping
I love how your friend's always around.
Great camp Abel! Congratulations on becoming a father 🥰. I’m a Nana and what a joy. Piecing the skin on your potatoes keeps them from exploding when cooking. You can tell they are done when they are fork tender. You can pierce through the foil without unwrapping it to test.

@@AbelandVictoria Yes,on the lower ranges.Like you,we have had a dry summer.Mount Wellington has snow.Have you been to Tassie?
Oh my gosh, the wicker stole your butter😅 you really adopted a new good attitude towards those birds. I’m proud of you.
Great stuff man!! So happy for you about the baby. I live in Wellington and love your channel - peace brother
Good to hear a proper Kiwi accent on youtube
Hey nice. I lived there for a few years
petualangan yg sangat keren..
So happy to hear mum and baby are well. Such an exiting time.
