Tent CAMPING in the Rain - Solo - Campfire 

I always enjoy your videos! It amazes me how bold the weka are and they just walk into camp. After watching AB Camping a lot it appears Bruno keeps the weka away. Or it could be Tony's "Cowboy Coffee " that runs off the wildlife! Always look forward to the next video!!

Love how relaxed and chill you are. Make good food. Having a pint just adds to your awesomeness. Cheers mate look forward to more videos

It's so nice to see the Kiwi and Robin at your campsites. So sad the Kiwi are on the list for extinction. The fire wall is cool 👍

A bic lighter is tre sophisticated and you should always carry one. I experimented with quite a few fire steels but found several that work supremely well. It is another thing that is compact, 100% reliable and easy to carry. Zippo make a good one. Zippo lighters are also very nice and oh God so simple, a 100 year old design that just works. The flame on them is massive and quite windproof. The best tinder is just cottonballs you rub in vaseline and put them in an empty pill bottle. The vaseline balls burn extremely well. The stove with the burner off the fuel cartridge is a good idea but I love the liquid fuel stoves. Favourite is the MSR Dragonfly on Shellite and it gives very fine flame control. If you want brute heating power there is the Soto Muka which runs like a bomb on unleaded (don't use unleaded on the Dragonfly). I find that the Muka does my raisin toast in no time whereas the DF doesn't run quite that hot. I use one of those wire camp toasting racks that hold four slices. Raisin toast with butter...very nice. These stoves are also very windproof. Anyway I am commenting as I go through your video. Always enjoy your videos thank you.

Just beautiful, glad to have you back I'm super excited and was really looking forward to be part of your new adventure, you are the best. Thank you again for all the effort and hard work you put out to make it possible for us all to enjoy every moment of this outing.😊 ❤ hope all is well with victoria.

This was a beautiful spot you camped at and the wicker birds were funny as always. The baby ones were cute. These birds remind me if ones we get camping here in Washington State, called scrub jays that like to visit camp. We call them camp robbers. The stream in the background was nice to hear.

😂😂 “I’m the Camping Pirate” 🤣 you had a nice buzz going on 🤣

At 11% alcohol, I’d end up dancing with the Wika’s. As always, thanks for sharing your great camps. 👍

Love your camping videos, the close ups on the birds were pretty amazing! 😊 When I saw you go down to the creek and get your beer it brought back a memory for me when I used to do canoe trips through Algonquin Park in Northern Ontario with my dad back in the day. We used to put a bag of milk in a plastic container and keep it under the water in the lake so that the milk could keep cold overnight well it did work but the lake water went through the plastic container and through the bag of milk so then the milk tasted like the lake and not refreshing milk...😆🤣😆

Yummy! That’s a high quality dinner! Thank you for bringing us along!!❤

This was such a fun and entertaining video. You have a lot of skills and knowledge to camp in the heavy rain. Your campfire was amazing and your food made me hungry. Your tent and tarp shelter is very smart and practical. You are a true adventurer and a joy to watch. Thank you for this awesome video. 😃

You know what would really have made your venison pasta dish? A couple of tablespoons of chilli flakes. If you are partial to chilli, this is the perfect dish to have it with. Love your videos Able. The New Zealand bush looks like God's own country. Thanks for sharing with an old bloke who always dreamed of camping but never did enough of it when I was able to. That was a great spot. You could always come back to the same spot with the rock fire pit already built. The next campers in that spot will already have some firewood already cut. Thanks again, I do appreciate all the work you have to go to get each video prepared for uploading. I look forward to each and every one.

Hi Abel love your Camp site love your Big Fire pit they Always Say Bigger the Better and more heat and lots of Good Food to Eat ❤😊

It's fantastic to have you back, and you're producing excellent stuff. Everything about this video is amazing, including the way the rain falls in the background. Big ups from South Africa, where I'm watching.🤗

Abel try gypsy toast for breakfast you will love it and it’s easy to make

Abel it really makes me chuckle how the Wickers find you so quickly and are brazen.

Hey Abel thanks for sharing, awesome. Nice tent!

Всё красиво, погода прекрасная, удачи вам.

That Imperial Stout looks to be very morish, it also seems to enhance all aspects of your adventure.....AND it keeps you warm!

I like the Beanie. I bought one when I was about 20 back in the CUTC days in Christchurch...I live in Perth now. I remember a friend of mine Brent was intensely embarrassed by it and virtually begged me to take it off. These are very practical items of outdoor ware which is probably why they have been in existence for likely thousands of years. Wear it and be proud.

Try taking a couple of eggs in a small Nalgene bottle. Shake the bottle hard before tipping into a pan or just pour if you want fried eggs. Works really well plus you can season them in the bottle.

It amazes me how you always get a nice fire going with drenched wood. Awesome!

I love the birds at ur camps sometimes I wonder if you bring them in ur pack too 😆❤from Michigan

Enjoyed the camp, very nice spot. Enjoyed your friends hanging around! Thanks for sharing

My storm is bigger lol. I went camping recently on this creek that is snow fed with melt well it rained a bunch and the creek came up 4 feet roughly while I slept. I drove out through the river basically but my storm wasn't bigger I just chose a risky location for the season that didn't work out I like the reality

Great videos, love your top notch gear. I’m not much of a breakfast person when camping, usually coffee and maybe a bagel sliced in half grilled in little butter with strawberry cream cheese…….real easy so I can enjoy the morning sunrise over the lake with the ducks and geese flying by…….I camp at in the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains, 7,000 ft +…….Thanks again, love the rainy and especially the winter camps…….

Busch Light is a great start to the day!

Hello Abel, You can make any weather situation look great for camping.Yes I do like the color of tent and the opening door way is awesome. Spaghetti and meatballs yummy. I learnt from you about building the rocks up so the heat will reflect towards you. Thank you Abel I so enjoy your camping trips.🙏🇨🇦❤️

Hello. Love your video as usual. Roast beef hash comes in a can in the USA like spam which is awesome. Just heat add eggs if you prefer throw it all in a flour tortilla and your set. Garnish it as you wish. Onions green peppers etc

The Peak freezer dried biscuit and gravy is amazing

26:48 lol you sound so sluggish here😂 And very chatty too 😅. I must admit, this video made me laugh more than I have in other videos 😂😂

🌲You are the fire starter master!🔥 The bird whisperer... lol!🐦

I bet that wood chopping took at least 50 times as long as what we see in the video. Love the editing.

I love these video’s they sometimes tramp for hours to their camp set up camp,search for wood prepare fire have drinks and snacks before meal time.hard work and I don’t have to do a thing but watch from the comfort of my home. Oh yes and their meals I can smell and taste them😂😂😂❤❤❤👍👍

I always do my crumpets in a pan in butter after seeing you do that, tonight's dinner looks like a plan too !

Like the tent👍🏻fire so cozy. Relaxing camp this one. Enjoyed!

Best weekend ever! Haven’t watched RU-vid for some weeks and I can see that I have three videos from you to watch. So now Svea (my dog) and I know what to do, watch you and the birds tenting 😂🇸🇪

U look cute in that hat Loved your video 😊

Happy to have you back again

Awesome vid as always! Keep em coming fella! You guys do a great job!!!

I enjoy your videos too, please keep up the good work, I know it’s hard work but we enjoy them so. They are so amazing!!!

If the Weka birds came to America Everyone would be feeding them!!😊 I can just imagine all the people wanting them for pets!

I love the new tent 🏕️

that tent is epic

Arh the jaffa cakes , like pringles once you pop you can't stop great video as always 👍

yes love the spot!! would so like to see more of it!!!!!!!!!!

Great video! Love the content (talking about your gear, beer, stove, tent, tarp, fire starter) !! Love it ! Oh and the rain is great also!

I you travelled to another camping dimension with the beers happy day's , regards the stout allthough it never said Russian, heres some jnfo , Russian Imperial Stout,first brewed in England for Emperor Peter the Great of Russia, are higher in alcohol than traditional English Stouts. The best examples are full-bodied, rich, and complex, and will often have flavours and aromas of dried fruit, coffee, and dark chocolate. I would of wacked in a bit of tabasco in your meal The tent looked impressive Thanks for posting 1 I I

yes love the color of the tent! also love you guys videos!!!!!!!!!!

OMG Abel... when you were having issues striking those starters, I literally said where's the Bic and out you pulled it from your pocket. 😂 I'm glad you had a backup goes to show that not everything that says it is for the outdoors works even from a reputable shop. Love the content. Keep it up. Oh, the Scots dude probably commented while inebriated. 😂

Love the tent. It is a great color.

Those jaffa cakes, have never heard of them, YUM

That was a Lot less punishing on you, more relaxing than your last camp. That spot is Awesome, right next to a stream, really peaceful. The cinephotographic shots of the Robin birds was Incredible, such nice footage. The firepit you built was straight out of a campfire textbook, it looked Soo good and inviting, kinda jealous. Those Weka's don't quit do they? As usual, looking forward to the next one already! Thank You!

Breakfast ideas. I buy ready made crepes & fry them in a pan and spread nutella on them with chopped up banana😅 yum👍

2 different hats, cool

Thanks for the video…Firewood Master

Came across your channel when looking for bad weather camping and have to say, really enough your adventures, especially with both you and your wife. I enjoy the fact you don't take life too seriously and engage with your followers. You have a new subscriber from the 🇬🇧. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for all your content fella 👍Marc.

Looks nice ey!!

This dude loves and enjoy his gear 😅 just like me 😁

Enzee The Camping Bird has kids? Cool!

Love the Hilleberg tents, and Red is my favourite colour for them. Hope to see you in your "huge air tent" soon, albeit I think hiking style camping is perhaps your favourite?

Wow, Abel! What a great setup your fire wall cairns stones looks great! Not really a solo camp though. Whole family of wekkas with you 😀How disappointing were those fire lighters? would probs be better of with waterproof matches! Your tent is amazing. Your meal is traditional camping favourite of ours. Meatballs and pasta 🍝 looked absolutely divine! Quick and easy that’s what we have that most times! And what a contrast of colours from last week. So green with all the moss looks magical especially with your fridge/river so close! 😃 the stouts sounded more like cocktails than beers, the fruit one sounded nicer than the marshmallow one. Sounded too sickly! 😀 then you washed them both down with Rum so basically was a cocktail! Really am impressed with the tent. Great for a solo camp indeed! 😊We miss Victoria! Hopefully she’s back with you soon! Not that we don’t love your solo camps! Weve had 2 storms consecutively here Storm Babet and storm Ciaran They were very dangerous and didn’t not need bragging rights by that Scottish bloke. You’re right it’s not a competition it’s BUSHCRAFT and when to know your limits! 😊great vid as always Abel! P.s we all love the orange beanie! Don’t camp without it! 😝

Baby weka so cute

Great Great Camp Abel ,Miss Mrs. Victoria on this one she's such a Sweetheart ❤Continued Blessings too you Both .

Nice relaxing spot. Reminds me of Wales in the UK. Wet!

Drink a beer every time He says “Door.” Nice Bird shots.

I see after your last camp which reminded me of the movie 'A River Runs Through It', you have chosen more wisely.

Hi able. Another great video. Have you tried magnesium powder dipped in Cotton wool it’s a good 🔥 fire starting technique . Can’t wait to see your next avenger

Thanks for the camping trip loved it 😊God bless you ❤️

Maybe you need to drink a little more water to keep you hydrated. This is the grandmother in me talking. I loved camping in years past, we camped in a tent in thel mountains, not in nice campgrounds.

Another great watch.. thanks for the work.. and if you have “one uppers” in your comments, and want to debate the term “storm” with you.. chances are they would find something wrong or have a negative comment with anything. Very best 🍻

I enjoywatching your video. love the nature sound. not too much talking and no anoying music is good.

Love from Pakistan🇵🇰

Hi Abel there’s nothing wrong with that hat I’ve got one 👍🇬🇧

Hi Abel love the colour of your tent y if there hunting Close to you Abel they can see you Better And they stay way bright colours tells hunters not to go there ❤😊

One of these days we are going to see you guys eating roast Weka 😂😂 lmao

Hey I never put ketchup on my breakfast in the morning I have coffee Folger coffee and then put suger in it with cream and then I have pancake for breakfast.

My storm was bigger than your storm , childish Great video

Abel why not put the tarp up first? That way you're protected from the elements and everything else stays dry.

watching from sunny cyprus yamas 🌞😎🍻🍻

What a great tent! And your firepit and fire, sooo fantastic!! And your beers, sounded very nice. I rather drink dark, strong beers, do you like that? Fantastic vlog!

G'day, That Robin is definitely working recon for the Wika. 🤣

Terrific edit of a great trip. Top notch entertainment which had even my hubbie (strictly car chases and action man) sitting down and laughing at your unique wordsmithery. Big thumbs up and appreciation for the efforts you go to to entertain us... it's good to see you enjoying the camp and the new tent. What a beaut. By the way, the insect on your sleeping bag is probably a tenebrionid (darkling beetle) larva.

Great camp Abel....enjoyed this

Yo big shout from the uk. Top vids. I agree with you on how hard it is to camp , maintain a fire , hike , cook and film. I have a small channel and was only saying the same the other day. I started the journey at the beginning off the year to change my life round. Iam 54 so know even more the strain it puts on ya lol. Keep going pal sy hi to Victoria

first!

It’s fun to see you tipsy

Weka = illegal Teagal. Any beach camping plans over the Summer?

Yeah that’s a nice tent, probably would sell very well around the world…except Ireland. Those storms rain barbed wire and gasoline…

Tent color is a matter of opinion, but i like camoflage

New to the channel and loving your videos. I really like the look of your cooker and fry pan and looking to get the same. Can you please tell be what size pan that is? I really like how you can fit four burgers in there.

Glad you enjoyed the camp Abel cos I sure enjoyed watching your video love from Cornwall England ♥️

great channel love it

Bro you need to get larger beers !!!!!

Hi Abel I wonder what this spot in the winter would be like just a gate video to do just a tip say hi to Victoria ❤😊

Steak and eggs is a man’s breakfast 👍🏼😊

Nice tent! I’m ganna grab one!

Now that summer is just around the corner here in New Zealand will you change up the style of your camp and whereabouts you camp?

Another great video, as always. Enjoying from Saint John, N.B. Canada
