Wild Camping in a STORM, Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- A large storm with heavy rain, gale force winds and thunderstorms was approaching. The forecast wasn't looking good so I headed out searching for a spot to set up camp. I had lots of yum food and coffee to consume so chilled out and enjoyed the conditions. I hope you like the video and thanks for watching.

Hey Serjoschag thankyou so much for your great comment 🙏😁 Hello to you from Germany 🇩🇪👋
I am always down for a camping adventure in thunderstorms. Love it!
Yes me too, the louder the better!! And lightening ⚡️
Great watch! You've set up such a cozy situation in extreme weather.
Hey thanks for your comment 😊 Yes, I think my setup is pretty dialed in now and have confidence in my camp setup and gear!!
Awesome video!
Hey thanks for your nice comment 🙏
New subscriber and looking at your camps from the first one forward. That was an epic camp. It is interesting how different each NZ camper responds to the conditions. I was pleased to see you had the addition of a tarp. My Dad was a keen tarp and tent camper. The addition of a tarp makes such a difference to the level of comfort in bush camping. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Hey Sharon, thankyou for your awesome comment!! Do you get out camping like your dad used to? Yes I agree with you about the tarp, it makes such a difference to been able to sit out in the conditions. In my latest video, I regret not setting it up because it started to snow after dark and that would've been an amazing experience. Thankyou for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it 🙏
Superb video thanks for sharing I have this exact tent and you're really selling me the tarp expansion concept I will have to get one now
Hey thanks for your great comment 🙏 How do you like the Unna? The tarp setup is awesome and it just gives you soo much more shelter room to sit outside under the elements 👌
@@richieoutdoorsnz Couldn't be happier with it, aside from top build quality and minimal fuss setup it just meets all my main comfort requirements. I'm about 185cm and the Unna is tall enough to sit up straight without my head touching the ceiling (in a large section around the center), long enough to sleep with my feet and head unmolested by inner tent fabric, and wide enough to fit a 65cm mattress and 75 litre pack so all my stuff is safe from rain and bugs overnight (I don't trust insects) I have the footprint as well and it makes such a nice space for cooking and such when you unhook the two bottom hooks from the inner. I can definitely see how it would feel like a palace with the tarp added on!
I also like the fact that it is so roomy inside as I too keep all my stuff inside overnight. It definitely has all the space you could want and fantastic build quality 👌
I'm honored to watch your adventures
Hey thanks for your awesome comment I really appreciate it 🙏
This channel definitely deserves way more views and subscribers! Keep it up!
Wow thanks so much for your comment Niels, thats awesome!! I'm just starting out and really enjoying sharing my camping adventures with you all 🙏😊
Great watch 👌🏻
Hey thanks Tony, I really enjoyed that camp. Next one coming in a few days!!
BTW Lovely Content Keep It Up

Great upload ..Thank you for sharing you’re camping adventure 👍🏼✌🏼❤️
Thanks Mylon, I really enjoyed this camp and its crazy weather!!
I found you by sheer chance: Thanks for a real class video.

I like your video
Hey thankyou 🙏 I actually really enjoyed the wild weather camping, it was fun 😊
Great video...all the best buddy...may you get what you desire for..
Hey thanks for your comment and hope you do too 🙏
New subscriber! I'm in Canada, and I think you're in New Zealand?? Love the luxurious foliage! Do you ever come across any wild life? Would love to see any kind, even rodents and insects.
Hey Jody, thanks so much for subscribing, I really appreciate it 🙏 Yes in NZ, on the North Island. The Beech trees around where I go camping are cool!! I think they look like over-sized bonsai trees. Not much wildlife around here except for birdlife and insects. Dear hunters frequent the National Park but I've never come across one. We have nothing in our forests or parks that want to attack you, or make you a meal, its very safe 😊
Hi Richie, great video, I don't suppose you know the name of the tarp pole you use?
Hey Shane thanks for your nice comment 😊 Here's the link for these poles, they are awesome and I highly rate them!! Mine are 180cm but they do other sizes too 🙏

Great job on the pancakes, but the mud round your tent was stressing my wife out
Haha thanks James!! Yeah I was quietly worried especially with all the rain in the forecast. I nicknamed my campsite the pig pen and was very lucky none of that actually went under my tent!!
@@richieoutdoorsnz enjoyed the video, we'll keep an eye out for your next one
Hoping to get out this coming weekend. Thankyou for watching, I really appreciate it 😊
Awesome video! Wishing you all the best, my friend. Hope you achieve everything you're aiming for.
Hey Thuy, thanks for your nice comment and wish you well too. Your channel looks great by the way 🙏😊
Unna 没有前厅的弊病😂 泥巴到处是，也许这种天气allak或者niak 才是好的选择，如果不考虑重量，我认为staika 是完美的❤来自中国的建议
Hey thanks for your comment and advice. Yes I agree with you and have been looking for a while now at the Allak as my alternative as it has the twin vestibule and bigger interior. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
@@richieoutdoorsnz Allak还有更重要的一点，双门通风，在夏季风会从你的帐篷中穿过，那真是令人享受的时刻😎
That is a good point actually, thanks. Do you use this tent yourself on camps?
@@richieoutdoorsnz 是的，我在遥远的中国也使用hilleberg ，我拥有过很多帐篷，但最终留下了soulo .和allak，我认为他们是完美的，我认为徒步旅行自立帐篷是基本要求，因为这样才能在岩石上搭建，来应对各种情况，在中国hilleber被称为帐篷皇帝，人们追捧它，但是令人遗憾的是它并不在中国本土销售，我只能通过台湾购买，其实我以前考虑过unna ，因为我在UA-cam看见它被很多人追捧，但是我的朋友劝住了我，说徒步野外，没有前厅真的是一个大麻烦，现在看来似乎是这样，因为你也需要搭建一个天幕来增加前厅使用，这样似乎显的很麻烦了。在中国有上万种品牌的帐篷，我不是嫌它们不够好，而是这些帐篷都不能给我安全的感觉，在野外，安全永远是第一位，我认为hilleberg是唯一的选择，这是我的个人看法，期待你新的视频作品，加油朋友！
you've basically set camp in a riverbed😂
Haha not quite. The riverbed was just behind me. I had cut channels to redirect the water around my tent which actually worked really well. Thanks for watching 🙏
I'm 20 years old and I like to be camper doing camping and making videos but I don't have stuf and thing I need a camera can you help me
Hey Hamza thanks for contacting me. Sure yes I can help you with some points to get started and things to consider.
Bare in mind I've only been doing this for 6 months off and on, but this is my point of view. Would be great if other viewers join this message chat for their ideas too.
Firstly decide what your budget is for your camping gear and camera gear.
Camera gear can start as simple as a smartphone and a little tripod. A lot of big youtubers started this way and built their rig up as they could afford to. The next step on the budget level would be a mirrorless/digital camera with an interchangeable lens.....something wide angle with a bit of a zoom. Don't forget to budget in for extra batteries, media storage cards and a carry bag.
Regarding the camping gear, this depends on your location and where you will be camping. Cold mountain snow camping gear is a lot different, and costlier, to warm climate summer camping.
Basics would be a tent, sleeping bag, mattress, backpack, cooking gear and appropriate clothing/waterproof gear. Also seriously don't overlook your safety gear ie PLB, maps, torch, first aid kit etc
This is such a huge topic to discuss and its hard to know what you are intending to do. Reply to me and I can help you more when I know your intentions and budget level.
Also You tubers I follow who are excellent on these topics are @JevonDovey @OscarHikes @eric_hanson
Look forward to hearing from you 🙏
need courage to do solo overnight camping 🏕️ 🫡 love from 🇮🇳
Hey Majesty, I am 100% hearing you!! I almost bailed my first time, but I sat the fear out, then broke the process down into small managable parts and took my time with everything. I didnt hike very far on my first adventure either. I also tested the setup of all my gear so had confidence in what I was doing. Go for it!! You wont look back I promise 🙏 Let me know how you get on ok!!
