These films have it all. Terrific blend of scenery, quality equipment testing, demonstration of technical skill and good humour combined with the thoughtful camera work - make for compelling viewing.

Wow Able. I know what it's like when you ping your lower back! Still a great video despite the pain. 😢 Great weather, great burgers, great camp. ❤

I love to be there with you on this adventure, I love extreme weather camping, it really tests your abilities and that satisfied feeling of beating Mother Nature! I am jealous!

Thanks for a wonderful video

Yes you are a legend! Appreciate your sarcasm ! Take care! Love the weather! I can smell that coffee from Oregon

What a fantastic video, Abel and Victoria. You are my favorite camping channel on KZfaq. You always have such amazing scenery and exciting stories. This video was no exception, as you camped in a snowstorm and a rainstorm. You are awesome!

Enjoying this one. Sorry you hurt your back. My left leg is almost 2 inches shorter than the right. Rods and screws after turning a flip and landing on my concrete floor in the house. Broke the left hip and femur. Well after 5 years of it slowly getting shorter my right hip is in pain constantly. Over use. Now I don’t know what to do. Scary. I know how you feel Abel. Rest and stay warm.

thanks Abel love what you do

Back in '81 I made grilled cheese bacon and tomato on whole wheat sandwiches for myself. Great for breakfast or lunch. My fav food for 43yrs. Yummy

Another great video, hope your back is better. Even when you are in pain and are in rainy, snow conditions you always find a reason to smile and make the best of a situation.😊

The ASMR of it all.....amazing

Beautiful video, but I wouldn`t mind a trip in good weather and sun, from time to time it would be nice to see NZ in sunshine! Surely you would enjoy it too! Wish you a full recovery for your back!

Nobody can be a legend quite like Abel

Na I love getting home from work and seeing a video has been uploaded makes my day 🐐

Good job from the USA👍

Such a beautiful spot. Can't wait to see what this adventure brings

Way to hang in there. I've had this exact same issue in the lower back and it's no fun. I really enjoy your videos and the beautiful scenery of NZ and your vocabulary is a treat for an American. Keep up the great work and thanks again for taking us along on your adventures.

When your back starts giving you problems it is amazing how it affects so many things it affects. Take care of your back what ever it needs or you will regret it later in life. I am speaking from experience. You are making great videos, keep up the good work.

Always a great day when there’s a new video of yours out. Hope your back is better!

Love that sleeping bag, amazing

Love that tent, so easy.

Thanks for another great "rainy" camp video! Hope your back feels better soon.

just settling in for tonights adventure, loved seeing the drive in, in the car.

Love your camp, Abel. All the ingredients are here, stunning scenery, cozy camp, inclement weather, and the burgers. Oh the burgers, bacon, cheese, pickles, couldn't imagine any better! Sorry for your back pain but at least you have some good meds in case the pain worsens. Take care, thanks a bunch Abel for another superb camp!

I love watching your videos and I don’t even like camping! We’ve had enough rain here in the UK recently, but you always stay so cheerful in spite of all the weather.

Looks like a fun and wet

So sorry you hurt your back…I hope your feeling better now…Your videos are God sends. Thank you. So relaxing…I used to do this but now am not able to so I really look forward to your videos. Blessings to you.😊

I hope you're doing better with your back Abel. Awesome video you looked warm and cozy this trip even though you had all that snow. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing and for all the hard work and time you put into your awesome adventures. They are pretty awesome. GOD BLESS YOU KEEP ADVENTURING.

Oh boy, I’m feeling your pain. I deal with back, neck and nerve pain often. I’m not brave enough to camp anymore. Thanks for keeping it real 😀

Ty sir! Hope ur feeling better soon

Just started watching your videos. I really enjoy them. I am just beginning to get into camping. Starting out small and learning. Nothing rugged like you do. Beautiful scenery. Hope your back gets better. Be safe.

Best looking supper!

Another great video Abel. Good to see you with laughter even tho you had a gruelling injury. Hope your back is better now

So enjoy i watch this video❤

Crazy weather ❤from Michigan

Yea great stuff looks just like cornwall were you camped which is on another level think you would love the lake district probably the mist scenic place in the world

I hope your back is better soon. Maybe Victoria can give you a good massage. I so enjoy the videos so thank you Abel. I need to get out there this summer and fall. When I can't I watch you when I relax in bed before sleep.

Loved this camp, am watching from bed and when it snowed, I actually felt cold lol. pulled my blankest up around me, GREAT video, LOVED it, thanks.

Best looking food I have ever seen in a camp video.

i love this! it gets my hyped for my next solo camping trip!

Also you can add hot chili with beans, and fire roast tomatoes. If you want. Or separate everything for multiple different meals. I hope that you enjoy them. 🎉

I am from Norway,, after 6 months with snow, I have had more than enough of it 😂 feel better!! And take better care of yourself ❤

I’m new to your channel but I really enjoy watching your content I especially love the stormy snowy weather and watching your set up thank you for sharing 🥰

Hello Abel and Victoria.. so sorry about your back, I know that pain REAL WELL 🙁 you are so lucky to be getting SNOW.. its still warm in Auss.. Another enjoyable video.. take care over there and hope to see Victoria soon ❤🕊

Hello Abel, So good to see you in your typical happy-go-lucky attitude. You are ready to laugh and have fun. (Even with the "sarcasm" 😂)

Warm the bread....much nicer! Great video

Hi abel sorry your back was in pain but you kept on going great video as allways love the scenery 😊

In Michigan USA I'm Excited to see Growing Life Springing up from HIDING FOR HALF THE YEAR ! 😎🥴✌️

Another Epic vid! I do feel a bit guilty enjoying this one knowing you hurt yourself though, Yes, those were your BEST burgers by far. The site and the weather were just Awesome! Get better and we'll catch you on the next one.

Love this 💕 take care of yourself, great job as always 👏 👍 ❄💕

I agree , burgers look amazing grilled Halloumi for me please as I am a veggie . Keep up the vids😊

Great video ,hope your back is better ,see you next time .

Abel, you are my hero!!! The places you go are fantastic, they take a lot of work and strenght from you. And the views you let us enjoy them too. And how strong you are, I think its mindblowing. 😊😊 You edit work is soso cool. You have Dutch roots and Viking roots. And you know Dutch people are tall, well build, strongmen! And your beautiful red hair is unique too., Redheads are very special people on their own way. Maybe a little bit exxagerated, I think not.. It was a fantastic video... Take good care of your back and body. And take very good care of Victoria.

Also I'm from the states, Montana to be exact. Love love your channel because of you 2. You make it fun. And don't listen to idiots. Thank you.

Beautiful setup ❤

OMG Abel - you did so much better than I would. When I hurt my lower back I am sore/stiff for at least 3 days... and that's at home, not out in the tops like you did! Although you were in excruciating pain, you did an awesome job! Great ideo, awesome to see the snow, although I watched with a blanket around my shoulders LOL. Take care, and I hope your back gets better soon!

omg you can pick the days but you can handle it keep it up

Ahh I know how it feels to pull your lower back and it's agony. You are a trooper Abel and smashed this camp as always 💪 Get yourself home and rest yourself for a few days 👍

Great camp video! hope you back gets better soon! well done!! entertaining thank you.

I like the tarp over tent set up, plus a chair combo. I think comfort is essential. I liked the video. Good luck with growing the channel.

Sorry you hurt your back . And still you put out a great video

Abel yet another Very enjoyable vidio 😊,sitting here in 40 degree heat it’s great seeing the first snow falls of the season makes you feel a little cooler ,a man of my own hart burgers and coffee.Also enjoyed seeing some of the drive in the changing weather conditions and scenery.from your Aussie friend.

Wow is this March 2024? We have had beautiful weather here in Christchurch. Am LOVING this camp.

Love it. Thank you for sharing 🤙🏾 Hope the lower back has eased brother.

I hope you’re feeling better.😮

Two more of them monster burgers double cheese and bacon 👍👍. Praying your back gets to feeling better soon. As always great video.

I can relate to how you were getting out of that chair in pain! I have lower back problems and it’s super easy for me to ping my back and be down and out!

Used to do lot of camping in Wales and Scotland,watching you makes me yearn to be young again.keep it up

Hi Abel Brilliant video Brilliant tarp set up and those burgers looked amazing ❤🇬🇧

Wait till you getinto your 40s mate.I am a trucker and always suffering with my back but iignore the discomfort,the best thing is to keep moving gently or ifits too back a cold bath.Great video dispite the injury.Take careof yourself buddy👍

Yeah over here in the US there's a phenomenon called thunder snow. Could be elsewhere as well. When we have huge snow storms that's when that occurs. Truly awesome

Great video Abel!I enjoyed watching. I really enjoyed watching it snow there, I love the snow. Hope your back gets better. I know how that lower back pain is. I had to have surgery on my lower back last September. I hope yours is not that serious. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, always looking forward to the next one!

Bummer ‘bout your back😩BUT what a thrilling camp with varied weather experiences👍🏻

thanks for the videos bro, I really enjoy them. of a atu moe lotu

Terrific footage of the snow and storm! What a trooper to put on a smiling face, keep going and still enjoy the time on the tops despite the obvious pain you were in. From what you've described it does sound like a disc injury. When they go out of alignment, the sciatic nerve gets pinched and pressure builds. This translates down the leg as pain, weakness and even numbness. Last year my husband experienced a severe extraforaminal disc herniation and it took many months to heal but he was able to avoid an invasive operation through aquatherapy. It was a deal-breaker and was much more effective than physiotherapy. With changes and retraining with the way he lifted it has not been a problem since. If you can get in the pool and walk, resistance exercise is key. All the very best for a full recovery with no lasting issues.

Hope your back feels better soon brother! Way to power through it!

I know exactly how you feel. I have 3 separated disk. In my lower back. it makes everything Difficult. Good Health to you.

Hope your back is improving Abel. Love from Cornwall England ❤

Hello Abel from Chicago. You're a class act acknowledging Tony from AB Camping as he acknowledged s you. Great video. God bless you and your family. ❤

Nice sound of rain/snow touching the tent, good editing, the burger, and the back pain added drama. Plus that accent ❤ New Subscriber here!!!

I sympathise with the back, I had lumbago for three weeks recently, frustrating for people like us who like to be active. I hope yours heals up quicker. I watch your videos because I dream of wild camping in beautiful locations.

You really know and utilize tarps when camping. You know where to set up, and try new set ups. You're really talented in camping, and you are certainly NOT afraid of the cold weather.

Очень интересно, спасибо❤

Hope u get well soon.

Sorry you were hurting so bad..☹️😞 I’ve got lower back pain, I have to lie down to get the pressure off the vertebrae…and sometimes I bring my legs up to my chest to help open up the vertebrae…it does help, so maybe if it happens again try what I do..good luck and hope you feel better soon..love watching your channel..😁👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome video again mate. Hope the back is getting better. Appreciate all the work and effort you put into making these escape videos for us to watch. Keep the unreal cook ups coming as well 💪💪👌

Ipik Buhgaz on the tops near the tahn... I LOVE the Kiwi icksint❤😊

Blessings Brother 🌿🌿🌿 #subscribed

🍔🍔🍔Yes! ❤❤❤Tony and Bruno AB Camping. Sending healing vibes your way, mate. Tell Victoria that we miss her.😊

I really enjoy your videos. You do a great job in editing. I especially like the aggressive “wood pile stacking” segments. Didn’t get to see that this time, but keep up the good work/fun.

New subscriber. First time commenting. From Iowa in US. Have really enjoyed watching your videos. Think this is my 4th one. All of them in fierce wind and sideways rain!! Burgers looked phenomenal. Something about cooking outside. Very sorry about your back. You still did awesome job!! Thanks for sharing your experiences. Never been to New Zealand. Exciting to see your first snow. Take care my friend.

Very cool to pull that campout off with the back pain Abel. Really good that you had the ibuprofen or it could have been really bad. Those bacon cheeseburgers looked AMAZING! You ROCK! 💪

Feel better soon 💙 superb video as always 😊 are those burgers togo?? 😆 🤣 yumm😋

Hey, the guys are RIGHT! Send ur wife out solo or with U because U! need to allow ur back to heal. From Atlanta Ga❤

Good sport, mate. A smile , backache and all. I don’t think I’d enjoy the cold rain. We have plenty in New England…hard to shake off the chill even if dressed properly. Hearty appetite too.

Love when you mention Tony... he is the reason hubby and I subscribed to you... glad we did. Try to show more scenery. Thank you for doing what you do.

5/22/24 - Welcome from the USA! Looks COLD!!

Hot water bottle on your back will help relax you back muscles. But when you get home use a heating pad on your back.

Great video sorry you got a bad back not nice as I suffer from back pain so I no how you feel Able love watching you ❤
