Car CAMPING in RAIN - FAST TENT 

UPDATE: OZTrail have again provided full refund and paid to ship the tent back to them for inspection. They have apologised also.

Dear Tony and Bruce,this is going to be a long one sorry, I've been in a very dark place with depression 😢 and alsorts your channel as kept me going iam 63 can't camp due to mobility problems but you sweet man and little brucey are a miracle for me and lots of people who are in the same boat I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart I really mean it god bless you both and please give my love to your beautiful family x ❤

We should’ve started a count for how many times you said “I should’ve brought the tarp” 😂

I feel so bad for Bruce got dripping on..at his bedtime all night long and without any noise let Tony know…🤭 but luckily Bruce looks just fine in the morning right😁 I can’t believe Bruce is a 77yrsold granddad already🤣 but he is still a 11yrs old little boy for me cos he really got a baby face😁 Again thanks for sharing this amazing video Tony&Bruce😘

I just stumbled upon your channel today. I adore Bruce and your interaction with him. I made it to Australia 20 years ago. I am praying I get to New Zealand one day. Thanks for showing off your beautiful country. Hope you get out of lockdown soon🤞🏻

Looking forward to the next adventure. Especially considering all that is going in in the world. We need to camp with you and Bruce again , make some food and sit around the fire.

😔 what a bummer .... the tent leaking! I'm gutted for little Brucie getting wet as he slept. Its bloody annoying 😡 you shouldnt have to fix something that should be purchased as perfect and fit for purpose. On a plus point Brucie does the best "good morning" greeting ever - he's such a gorgeous boy.

What a shame the tent was such a fail. Poor wet Brucie!😔 Thoroughly enjoyed our camp anyway. The river was awesome. And loved the cook-cam! What a great idea.👨‍🍳 I’m in love with your country, so thick and lush and beautiful. Walking with Brucie was cute.🐾 Thank you Tony and Brucie!🙏

I can't tell you how many times I've told my husband, "read the manual"! Tony, you're just as entertaining as ever. Enjoy your future outings, and thanks for making my day!

My husband & I started off camping with a van & a tent with 5 children. So many amazing memories & watching Bruce & you bring back many of them. Now, we are in our 70s with a 40ft motorhome. It’s just us & 3 chihuahuas. Please give Bruce a hug for us. And thank you for these videos.

Another memorable camp! Ahh poor Bruce, hopefully they make it up to you both. Can’t believe with all your tarps you don’t have an emergency one stashed away! 😊. Although you probably wouldn’t have known it leaks if you had one up. Look forward to the next camp! Take care. 🙏

Love how much you ruminated on being able to see Bruce when you let him out, how to have your post-burger cigar, and how to have either a see through door, or the ability to raise it up at varying levels versus justcup all the way or down all the way. BRUCEY! Poor guy got all wet w/that leak! Cheers, buddy!

Perfect Sunday to watch a rainy camp with Tony & Bruce! Thanks!

I enjoyed coming along on your camping adventure. Glad to know your sending this one back. The area is beautiful and what a great camping spot. You never know what a product is like unless you test it out. Brucy is such a good sport even tho he was getting wet he still listened to you and got back on his bed. Gotta love him.

Tony, your videos never disappoint. I enjoy watching Bruce having so much fun! It stinks that he got wet from the tent leaking. I enjoy camping, but am not able to go as much now for health reasons. I hope you continue making your videos to share with us, I also love how long they are. Thank you again and happy camping! 😊

Your videos are honestly helping me mentally , keep up the great work 🤜

It was the Perfect Sunday to watch a rainy camp day with Tony and Bruce thanks for sharing it with me

Love the walk. The view on the walk makes us feel like we're walking along with you guys 🙂

Not going to lie I am sure this has been said before but, its true for me as well. I get as excited for new videos as Bruce does for camping and treats. Great adventure and beautiful area failed tent aside. Gotta look at the positives in everything.

The corporal sent me! Liked and subscribed 👍

💖😍 I LOVE long walks w/Bruce!!! [The drone footage was fantastic as well!] Thanks for another great adventure... sorry about the tent fail! Poor Brucey!!!

You my friend are living the dream.love the way your vids are made at no rush or worry. I feel like I've always been on a camp myself after watching.

Dear Tony and Beautiful Brucie I want you to know how important you are in my life. I live in Southern Wisconsin,USA, my husband of 55 years was diagnosed seven months ago with Stage Four Alzheimer’s Dementia. My life with my wonderful husband has changed, he is now my 76 year old child. I am his caregiver and love him but we do not go on our trips anymore. Thank you so much for taking me camping with you both. I can’t believe I go camping with a beautiful dog as Bruce in a wonderful land like New Zealand. Thank you again Tony! 🦴🦴🦴🥰🥰🥰

Dude I use to only watch camping with steve but wow you blow that out of the water keep up the great camping and keeping it real and love that your videos are more then 15 min long you and brue just got a new fan from the united states 💙

I so do love watching your videos! Fail or not! I love the little comments when you're setting up the tent! Amazing dinner cooking! looks so very good! I love green stuff--makes a meal look so much more appetizing! The overhead cam is awesome! I do hope OzTrail sends you a new "working" tent! So sorry about the leaking, you were so very upset! Especially on behalf of Brucie! Poor Brucie was watching you very carefully when you were upset about the leaky tent! He so wanted to comfort you, such a little darling! pancake I love it when you take us for a walk! So lovely to see the New Zealand country side! Thanks so much for sharing the walk, Brucie loved it too! I also love the drone shots that you take--just wish they were a bit longer! Loved that shot of the drone watching you cross the river--very well done! You're editing is so awesome! Love from Dawn Lynn and Larry Ottawa Canada (Convoy is over now)

Have you ever thought of getting a Bruce Adventure cam? A small cam on Bruce while he is out playing. It might be too bouncy, but if it worked I'm sure your fans would love a segment seeing what he gets in to while exploring. I know I would.

With all the bad in different countries, including my own. I really enjoy your rainy or snowy camping trips. I love watching your interaction with that sweet little dog of yours Brucie. And the fact that he has such a kool new bed, and all those doggy treats. Tony thanks for allowing me to enjoy those camping trips, I do love the rain. Take care you and Brucie and the family.

Tony and Bruce, I'm glad you're out camping even if in some grim weather!!!😉 Keep the great videos coming. I can't wait until it's Spring in the Southwest to do some camping.

Oh poor Bruce, but hopefully they will make it right for the both of you. I like the concept of the tent but the issues definitely needed addressed. Another great adventure in the books and we can't wait to the next one. By the way that pancake looked delicious 😋. Sending love to you, Bruce and your family from Oregon 💖

Love it!! Thanks for another adventure Tony and Bruce! Great and consistent content. Entertaining and genuine. Appreciate it mate. -Liam from Australia 🇦🇺 🤙🏿

New Zealand is so beautiful! Thanks for the trip and sorry about the tent fail. Hugs to Brucie!

Thank you Tony and Bruce, for all the content you provide us. I enjoy every minute of every adventure you have.

Tony, hello and thank you for giving us an honest take on the joys of tent camping! You had me chuckle until I saw your wet clothing laid out neatly over your chair, so sorry that your set-up ended in such a dismal failure. Please take heart and continue to produce quality content for us to view while traveling along with you and Brucie. Thanks again!

Such a shame about the leak 😢 brilliant video though! Really enjoyed the long walk to the river 🥰 thanks for taking us along again! Much love to you and Brucey 💙💙 xxxx

Hi Tony, totally agree yes Bruce likes the rain but not when he expects it to be warm and dry! Enjoyed the video as usual beautiful scenery and just love watching you and Bruce camp! Please keep the long videos, it feels like I’m camping too. Hugs to Bruce he’s just adorable!

The ranting in this video.. *chefs kiss* This is the Tony we know and love!!!!

Love you giving tents a work out. They should give you a commission!!!

Cool. My evening entertainment.

That’s beautiful scenery…. I live by the mountains and get to see areas just like it everyday! It’s heavenly!

Just lined up my hiker/camper/travel vlogger RU-vid videos to watch on the big TV. Been working online all weekend. Watching Jay Wanders Out's AT Thru Hike right now. Said to myself, let me click to over to AB Camping to see if you posted something new. And there it is! Yeah! Now I'm good to get some productivity in and to stay at this computer and get some work done. Love the long format, the conversation and Bruce. Thank you so much. I can fall into the Matrix now. Cup of coffee, RU-vid, and campers. I'm good.

Hello Tony and Bruce 😄! You should always have a tarp with you, just in case you'll need it!

Shame about the tent, I bought an Oz trail frying pan, lasted one trip in the bush as the coating came off when I was cooking .. that was grim 😬

2hrs and 15 minutes where I don’t have to think too much. Luv u guys xx

You are the best! This video will be known as the "Tarp". It was so touching how you were so concerned about Brucie. Your devotion and love for your dog is inspiring. Love your honesty!!! I used to watch bits and pieces of your videos.. now I am addicted to this pure entertainment. I watch from beginning to end now. I am sending Brucie a treat for his trials with the wet tent. Stay safe!

I’m ready to fight someone over poor wet Brucie, so I can just imagine how angry you are! Love your videos - keep ‘em coming!

Another enjoyable video, Tony. Sorry, you didn't enjoy it as much! Saw some new things in this video that I hope you'll continue to use: the cooking cam, the drone footage and the edited in commentary. Love the idea of a cooking overhead cam. Just a brilliant idea. The drone footage was in a word: breathtaking. Your commentary was hilarious. Definitely kept us all hooked and watching more intently. Appreciate seeing you bringing something new to your videos, but still providing the content we tune in for. Cheers!

Another good video thank you for sharing Not skipping any adds ❤💙💚💛🧡💜💚

New Zealand is absolutely beautifu!! I loved the long peaceful walk you filmed as well. Brucie sure loves camping with you! I really enjoy watching your videos!

Tony, love the drone shots! Totally gives a perspective of where you are and the beauty of NZ! Thank you!

Please look at you video 1:07 when the heaven rain came down you can see where the leak was coming from thought I saw something but when I saw your clothes in the morning I watched it back only happened with the down poor looked dry before that hope this helps if you need video evidence to get your monet back

I love how you keep a very Clean & organized Campsite 🏕 🚙You take such good care of Bruce he’s very lucky to have you as a 🐶daddy and you are very lucky to have Bruce as your Best friend 🤗❤️🐶🏕🪵🔥 I can not wait to see what you’re going to cook 👨‍🍳 up for dinner tonight👨‍🍳🏕🪵🔥 And I love when you make steak chicken & hamburgers and you always give Bruce some of your dinner mixed in with His Dry Food 🍲 Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us and all of the beautiful scenery! The hamburgers🍔 look yummy 😋 🏕🤗❤️🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Congrats on the viewership! Keep em coming, I love the long form videos. I learn from your videos all the time. Tarps are a must! Cheers!

Love Brucey's bed, love your chair love the tent ⛺ even with the flaw 🙂 like American express use to be " don't leave home without it" tarp don't go camping without one 😆. Digging the inset of the overview of you cooking 👍OMG! I commented before the end of the video ONLY A FAIR WEATHER TENT it was meant for you not to have the tarp Brucey getting wet like that is a no no 🤨

Hello Tony, I have never been camping. But I am enjoying camping watching you and Bruce. Your videos are interesting and informative.

Really enjoyed the stroll to the creek. The sounds of nature were really lovely. 👍

Awe poor Brucey. He's such a good boy and sport. Good thing the rain rolls off his fur. So sorry about all that rain in your tent and all over your clothes. I hope they replace it with a new one and or get your money back and some compensation for Brucey and your clothes. But at least you slept well and dry. That's a nice new chair. You looked comfortable. Your burgers 🍔🍔 and pancakes 🥞 they looked yummy as always. Love the drone footage and your walk. I can tell Brucey was enjoying himself. I can't wait for your next campout with your truck and orange tent ⛺. That one is nice and big. Don't forget your tarp 😉😁 Can't wait for our next adventure thanks for inviting us. Blessings from California USA. 🇺🇸

Perfect to relax and end the week, thank you ❤

Loved the footage of you guys going for a walk, love to see more of that as it gives us a better idea of the terrain. Love the drone footage ( lovely spot!) and the cooking cam (lol). Actually like the fact you didn’t have a tarp or we would not have discovered the issues with the door. Oztrail has a lot to answer for in terms of poor Brucie😡

I loved every minute of this video. Tony you are allowed to vent for as long as you need to. I still admire your calmness when others would be livid and be outraged. Your love for Bruce is obvious and you’re right about not taking rude comments about you not caring for Brucie. And yes he does have a lot of fans, myself absolutely included. Don’t forget you do too! I really enjoyed the captions at the beginning of the video. Enjoy the week ahead and see you on the next one. Be safe and well. Going to watch the video you recommend right now. 👍👍

Love all your videos.Bruce is adorable❤

Tony, I mentioned something about Oztrail, in relation to their elevated tent that you used and reviewed. You have had 2 tents from them that have leaked. They are summer tents with no rain proofness. I have had some reasonable Oztrail products, but would never pick a tent or sleeping equipment from them due to unreliability, which you have just found out. 2 from 2 is not good, hopefully the company can learn from this, and solve it, but your channel is very public, and I think maybe Oztrail quality control has shot themselves in the foot. Many if not all of your subscribers are not going to buy tents from Oztrail in the future, until they can fix this very public problem.

I love watching your videos . I can see the big difference between a well trained dog called Brucie and my dog called Finni, who is always thinking, he is the boss in our house. Maybe he needs some weeks by your side Tony. Greetings vom Germany, and sorry about my english.😚

We’re just ending our winter here in the US, every time I see your video I want to go camp! I can’t wait!! 😜 Bruce, you’re awesome! Thanks for taking us along 💞

Love it when you cook and talk to Bruce, cheers everybody!

…always pack a tarp for emergencies!😎 Loved your burgers! Drone footage of the area and the river cross were spot on… the walk was amazing… Love your videos…

Again love the video. Very relaxing to watch as always. More power to you and Bruce. Looking forward to the next video.

I just subscribed to your channel, via, Corporals Corner. I love to camp, and would love to do it more often. I’m 63 years old, with some physical conditions now.

Nice drone footage. Beautiful spot. That pancake looked delish. Thanks for sharing. It was fun. I like your silly little laugh!

Drone views on this one absolutely beautiful Tony 😍 Bruce looks at you with such love .. bless him ❤ Was such a lovely boy. Sorry ‘bout the tent leaks. Glad Oz Trail made good on their product.

I haven't tried camping but watching this make me feel that I have to try it in the future. I love the idea of reviewing different tents and watching this vlog is very relaxing I dunno why..but it is🥰

Hello from Napanee Ontario Canada love your shows. Like the walks up the trail nice to see New Zealand up close pretty country. And of course Bruce is always fun .

❤️I love watching all your camping video!

What a lovely new dog bed!, lucky Bruce. Great vlog as usual!

Hey there, Shawn Kelly sent me. AKA Corporals Corner. Just subscribed. Looking forward to watching your videos!!

Love from France. The walk was great. You can’t bet it is not going to rain when You are camping for a while so thanks for What you are doing

What a shame about the tent leaking, especially on poor Brucie😢bless him, it looked quite a spacious easy to assemble one too. 🧚🏻‍♀️ Loved Brucie’s new bed he looked at home on it xxx The walk was great and the drone overhead… I always love them on videos, gives a greater perspective on where you are.. The pancake 🥞 looked yummy …. Thank you both for another amazing camp…. Love from 😟🇬🇧 we have stormy weather at the moment….

Looked like a lot of fun except for the leaky tent!! Always enjoy the videos of your adventures and Bruce. Hope you get satisfaction from OzTrail!

I love your new chair, you looked so comfortable. When my children were young we used to go camping at least once every summer. In those days we had what they called a station wagon with a tailgate. It wasn't very pretty but it was so handy! And, boy, did it save my back. Camping chairs were a joke and it was more comfortable to find a big flat rock to sit on. Kudos to you, you are getting better and better with those pancakes!

Thanks for a beautiful walk ,was so relaxing

I simply love watching you and Bruce…kept up the awesome job of camping…

I just want to say.. you are awesome. And your videos are amazing! Love when you cook at camp. Rockstar! Bruce is awesome too! Thank you for such awesome content!

First of all hugs and kisses to Brucie we so loved seeing him. I was Furious as well that Brucie had to sleep with that rain coming in on him all night. Love your videos keep them coming.

You and.your pancakes I love it.the walk with Bruce was wonderful I got to see everything.thank you☺

Totally agree with you about the door top of the tent. We never go out without a tarp just because of issues like this. Great vid. Love your content.

Incredible setup Tony. Hope you and Brucey have a wonderful fun adventures together. I so enjoy your videos.

Hi Tony and Bruce this was a great episode .added scenery on walk and with drone awesome

Hey Tony! Bruce is so good. 3 lessons learned from this video: 1) Don't buy an OZ Trail Tent 2) Bring a large tarp 3) Bring a change of clothes. Don't blame you for being pissed off. Always enjoy your videos.

loved the video, and the drone giving a perspective of where you are to the river. and if it had been a little higher you would have had to wait, quite deep. hugs for you and Brucie

The drone video was pure gold. Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing

Just as I started watching this it poured down and thunderd and the night sky was litt with fast flashes off blue that looked and sounded amazing thankyou

Dang, I mean WOW. That's magical. Beautiful. Amazing

❤❤❤❤❤❤ we’re laughing now. That is one of my favorite sayings from you. Especially after tough challenges

12 minutes in and I'm rolling Tony 😃 😁 ! Thanks for the entertainment as always.

You posted just as I ran out of vids of those I'm subscribed to. Great timing Tony!! 😀

I love your trips. I feel like i am there. I ofyen cook what u r and i have dinner with. Keeps me company and the experience of the campsite and Brucey is MY pal

I love you captions… “🤣Not Even Close” ☔️☔️ …….. Cheers everybody Cheers🍻! “Should’ve brought my tarp”

Tony, always enjoy you and Brucie's videos. I think one of my favorite parts is when you're talking and you say "Hey are you watching me or watching Brucie?" LOL. Sorry about the rain coming in and getting Brucie wet and your extra clothes. Your channel has been so informative on what's the best in all weather. Also your peg advice about getting better ones to hold everything down better was so helpful. I'm planning on joining the nomadic movement at my young age of 62 (solo female) with my dog Leonardo. Can't wait for all the adventures we will have. Hope to be able to film a lot of it. Love the river walk, will need to get Leonardo used to the water again. Blessings as always on your continued adventures with Brucie and your family.

Yes, I am a solid fan of you and Brucie! Love your camping videos!

Good morning, Cpl. Sean Kelley sent me, to see your show your site. I have been watching and I have to honestly tell you : NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL!!!!!😁 I'm going to be watching more and more, because you have a show/site that is very informative and interesting. And it is very educational I like the pup.... It's good to see a man out with his dog, enjoying the truly rustic nature in life. I have subscribed to your channel and I will stay as a loyal viewer for as long as I draw a breath. H. U. A.

Quality! Nice to see the Tony and Brucie show
