I had quite significant mouth surgery a few weeks ago so am recovering at home, can't eat much as jaw doesn't have full range of motion, and I have found your channel so comforting and I look forward to watching a new episode every evening and even a sneaky one during the day, I appreciate them so much. I am in Christchurch. Many thanks. I don't understand why everyone who watches doesn't give a thumbs up, you definitely deserve them. Incredible footage and content and a massive amount to work go into these camps. I certainly appreciate them and it is making my recovery a better experience. Cheers Abel and Victoria.

I can hear some of you questioning why he just flung his coffee/tea bag away. Coffee & tea grounds are biodegradable & in some instances good for the environment as in they can help change the pH of soil & incourage insects. The bag the grounds are in is also biodegradable making it a wonderful addition to the environment. However, don't get caught doing this in the states as it's still littering. I once thru a banana peel out of my car window onto the dirt side of a highway & almost got a ticket. I think I got off because as a Master Gardener I was able to convince him the banana was doing more good here than in a landfill but littering is still littering no matter the item.

So Abel you like getting your feet wet - I am assuming you maybe near the West Coast North or South, often you can tell which way the shrubs n trees lean to. Just lovely environment and the typical bush plants and heaps of moss/lichen. I have seen the mechanism to blow up your lilo mattress, just once before yours, so efficient and effortless. Good to know how easy these things can be done nowadays. I love the Birch Trees they have really nice wee leaves and the way the branches sort of protrude towards the outer - just very pretty.

Abel, do you not run a Ridgeline rope along your center point of Tarp? I don’t think so, can’t make it out in video. Anyway, this would provide support, superior tension of ridgeline, no stress on the tarp. You would use Prusik knots of pull-out end of Tarp on ends of Ridgeline.

@@AbelandVictoria No, you really are not an amateur. But a Ridgeline (thru your loops on top, or underneath center of tarp) really give more support and structure as it seriously can be tied out taught! More importantly, it won’t stretch the shit out of the Tarp! Two simple Prusic knots (you can just leave them permanently on your Ridgeline) just slide out and provide tension to the tarp. Plethora of videos on KZread if you are interested or have questions.

Tarp because I sit outside the tent and want shelter. The tent is waterproof just like to be able to sit Out in the rain under tarp. I use then ground sheet because there are often sharp sticks and roots on ground so some extra protection is good. My tent floors are pretty delicate material
