​@@AbelandVictoriaI also have a Wild Country Ultra Quasar tent, expensive but bombproof in the wind, also has two vestibules, can also buy all the bits like new poles, inner and flysheet separately if something happens to any part of it.. I've had it in 80mph winds, scared the hell out of me. The tent was fine, in 80mph rain! Wouldn't recommend that too often tho haha. Am an old mountaineer who loves a challenge.

Absolutely, in Scotland our summer lasts for a few hours a year. Never same day each year either 😂 Plus it can snow almost any month high up on the hills, bloody love the place, beautiful yet brutal. We have a saying here- "If you dont like the weather, wait five mins, it'll change" 😂

Brutal!! I love to watch while I am all warm and dry at home.

Wow jst wow thank you Abel for an amazing camp 😍

Great video ! Loved the snow in the forest. Spectacular ! One little suggestion; warm clothes, especially camping/climbing/mountaineering clothes keep cold and also heat from reaching you. Next time if you're cold, remove your rain jacket and open your down jacket, you will instantly feel much warmer in front of a fire. The burgers looked great !! And that's from someone who isn't much of a burger fan. Good to remove the snow from the tarp because of its weight but not from the sides of the tent, there, it provides insulation.

bel, thank you for putting yourself through this for our entertainment, we sit here is our cosy rooms and think, "how can he do this". Thanks again

Around minutes 14:05, I thought I saw a look on Abel's face that said: I wish I had stayed at home with my wife. I am just chilled watching this. Wild man.

I really enjoy your videos very soothing to my hectic life. Thank you.

Hello 👋 my friend my first time watching u I really enjoyed it next time take some one with u to keep u warm.

Love watching your videos. Having been in the military, I know how much worse driving cold rain is than any snow storm. Being wet and cold is the worst. You make it look fairly easy which it certainly is not! Great stuff!

Weight issue aside, one major bit of kit appears to be missing: a multi-purpose spade. Great to dig a moat to channel rainwater away, move snow drifts, and to cook a fry-up on (so you can ditch the frying pan). As for Hobnobs; you just gotta dunk faster bro.

Abel, your commitment to camping in such deplorable conditions is to be saluted. Aside from the great meals and toasty fire, the rain, mud, wind and cold would have had me bailing before sunset. Thanks for toughing it out and sharing!

As Tony would ( and did!) say...it was GRIM! And wow, it truly was...for both camps, yours and his. The wind for you, so strong! I think I would've either packed up and given up, or crawled into the sleeping bag to wait it out, especially when the " river" formed right where you were sitting...how miserable. Thanks for hanging in there and making a great video.

Abel, I am an American and I enjoy watching you and Victoria on your adventures. However ,this camping site was a brutal climb for you, and I am happy she did not have to climb it with you. I assume she loves you quite a lot, and I feel her love enables her to abide your harsh camping trips. You should honor her more for the sacrifices she makes for you to attend these horrible camping endeavors in the rain, in the snow, in the extreme cold... she is a Champion, indeed... what a woman!!!

I live at the foot of the Olympic Mountains in Northwest Washington. And camp often in Olympic National Park which is considered a RAIN FOREST. Often in weather conditions shown in your video... I just want to suggest you get more tarps, either larger or many you can tie together. Also, use a heavy duty bungee cord on one end of all tarp lines and your tarp will never rip.

Here from AB Camping. 👍 Looks " GRIM" 😊

Hello Abel, (and absent Victoria) I watched you all the way through and you were giving yourself a hard time and were feeling like the weather was responsible for more than it was. I think that you handled everything just fine . Even a longtime bushwacker can ruin a great pitch. Every time you brought up problems I quickly looked at your face. It always had a smile and many times it had good things to say. You had a positive attitude from the first to the last. That makes up for poor equipment or weather or sometimes the company you keep. After watching your video, I remembered that there was another New Zealand person or persons that I used to watch occasionally that had a dog and I thought that they went camping sometimes. I found a family who fit the description but they didn't camp that often and their goal was to travel to the US. A little background on myself is as follows. I'm 77 years old. I grew up in Northern Wisconsin (close to Lake Superior) and extreme weather in the winter. For the last 50 years I've lived in the Mountains of Colorado. I've actually LIVED IN my tent for a number of years. Myself and my Golden Retriever. My kids and grandchildren would camp with me from time to time. So, I might consider myself as someone who knows a little about the outdoors. So, this brings me back to that person who I recalled that was from New Zealand and camped with a dog. Well, you know OF him. You mentioned that you had a THING with a guy by the name of Tony. Well, I watched a few of his videos, and you said that he didn't know jack s* about coffee. Well, he doesn't know Jack * about camping either. And...he seems to want to blame anyone or anything for equipment failure or inclement weather or anything other than himself. I had a difficult time getting through those videos.
