Thanks for coming with us again. Please remember this is not an educational video. Just some entertainment camping with Tony and Bruce. Hope you enjoy. ❤️AB
Mike, my best friend of 40 years passed away on June 12, 2022. He had a stroke and was 46. We used to go to Yosemite together. When in the hospital I had his brother show him one of your videos. He was able to enjoy just one. Thank you Tony and blessings to everyone reading.
Dang, sorry to hear that brother. With each passing day I feel my mortality creeping closer. Some changes are being made in my life this very week. I will gain my life back, and I'm going to get busy living again. Just hope I didn't wait too long! Cheers
@@masterp2269 I wish you the best in whatever you have ahead of you. Reading your post felt like it was something I wrote it hit close to me for some reason. I'm basically in the same boat as you.
Hi Mike, really sorry about your friend and was only young. Can I ask you if you know, was it after having a Covid Vaccination. The reason I ask is because I had a life changing Pfizer Booster Vaccination and have heart problems now, that I never had previously, I was perfectly healthy prior to having it. Kindest regards. Brian.
Between rain hitting the Tarp or the siund of fire crackling. It is my go to thing if I'm awake at 4 am trying to sleep before having to get up for work😂
What a great idea to immortalize people we miss. Thank you, Tony; hugs to Brucie. My hero is Annie. When my hubby was hospitalized with a quadruple bypass, she made it possible for me to keep visiting him daily. I would park at her house after driving almost an hour, take the bus to the subway, then the train to the hospital. They were charging so much for parking that before she offered me this, it was costing me the equivalent of half a tank of gas. Another angel in disguise, and one of hubby's best friends, Ben, provided me with the transit tokens. I owe them both eternal gratitude. They made it possible for me to be there for my husband when he needed me most. He was in the hospital for four months in total due to infections and several setbacks.
Just wanted to add, i lost my dad in September and I get its really tough. Koudos to you Tony to offer a platform for others to vent. Sometimes easier when there isnt people looking at you and feeling awkward
Our first son, Cooper was born still a still 18 years ago. After struggling with infertility, it was really a hard blow. This year we raised money and gave a scholarship in his name for his graduating class. It's one of many things we've done for him over the years that has helped relieve our grief. His brother and sister that came after him know him and love him. Thank you for giving me opportunity to share about my son Cooper. You're right, Tony, it helps. 💙
There is something very cathartic about solo camping especially in such harsh conditions. It takes you to an inner placer of strength and courage. Purpose comes in many forms and I Thankyou for allowing me to join you while you brave the elements and I sit in warm comfort. I love pure camping as it makes you appreciate all you have. Love this so much and Thankyou
Talking to the camera is almost like a video journal. Just watching your videos helps me with my mental health issues as well as my anxiety. Your videos just relax me and make me smile. I tell my family and friends about your videos and how it helps me. Some laugh but others understand everyone has their one thing that helps them get through each day. Thank you for your videos! I am grateful for you.
My dad, James Elmo Allen Jr., passed away in 1993, a week after my 14th birthday. He used to take my sister and I camping in rural Missouri several times a year, and really fostered in us a deep nostalgia for spending time around a fire (though his smoke would have been a great big joint of homegrown weed!) The memories are some of the most precious I have. He would have really enjoyed the ability to sit here and experience one of his favorite pass times... on the other side of the world, with the kind of guy he effortlessly got along with. Thanks for giving me the space to memorialize him like this. He's been gone for nearly 30 years, but I'm still sitting here with tears in my eyes. I wish I could hear him play his guitar and sing with the grandkids he never got to meet.
Thanks Tony and Bruce for another amazing adventure. Tony I’d like to say you are so wise and kind. I appreciate the kindness so much as I don’t feel much of that currently here in the U.S. I feel like people have just lost their humanity. I’ve retreated away from all it. I’d like to leave a note about my mom who I lost 10 years ago. As I commented in another video, I still miss her terribly. Carol had a zest for life, was so kind and always present. She took up skiing when she was 50 and kayaking in her 60’s. She lived in Maine by herself with her wonderful dog Eddie. Peace and love to you. Thanks for the great videos.
I don't know you you don't know me.. but i know for a fact everyone has had hardships and loss in their lives that they go through. The cost of truly loving someone is having to let them go, as the old saying goes no one is ever truly gone if they are remembered. Love from the UK
WOW in her 50s and 60s.. no time like the present to start doing the things that bring you joy! I loved your story about your Mom! Thank you for sharing. Sending you love and hugs!!
My Grandfather. Joseph Jackson. One of the reasons I am the person I am today. Lost him in 2009. Military funeral , and one of the last times I played guitar in front of people . I have only recently picked it back up to help my 8 and 11 year old sons get into music. I catch myself wishing at least once everyday that I could hear one more of his stories, how he could see how I matured and grew . For him to have been able to see my children . And for them to have been able to meet him. Many life lessons, outdoor and survival skills. To farming and carpentry. Conversations , laughs, tears and all. I miss You Pepa ... Thanks for letting me get this out. If no one reads it. Its fine. Its just nice getting it out. Thank you Tony
Love watching you interact with each other. Brucie is in his happy zone!! Love how he sits quietly in the morning until you say Good Morning to him. Then, what a fur ball of energy!! The snow is beautiful!! Thanks for taking us along!!! I can't seem to get enough of these adventures!!!! Glad that your back is doing better!!!
Hi Tony. I started watching your videos when my father was dying from melanoma. Dad and I would stay up watching you, he lived vicariously through you as he was a camper. It was a very tough time at the end, but he died at home which is what he wanted. I miss Dad terribly, so to help me with the grief I watch you and Bruce, and there I am back sitting with Dad again. All the best and thanks 🙏
It's so relaxing and peaceful watching you camp most other campers drink and pass out and most of the video's are just sitting camp up but your is much different and I love it also about the mental health issues for myself I write down everything then go back and reread everything outdoors help me alot also iam dying from COPD and heart problems iam only 46 never smoked but I don't let that stop me I live everyday like it's my life and I enjoy every min of it
Tony, I lost my mother Rena at a very young age. She was an amazing woman and a wonderful mother. She also taught me Loyalty, Honesty and Integrity. Cheers to you for reminding me where I came from and who I am. Because of her I am the Man I am today! I remember my family was very worried about me because they thought I was depressed after she passed but, I was never depressed just sad and was mourning her loss in my own way. I was sad yes, however I was also blessed to have her and everything she taught me as a young man. Thank you and God Bless you and your family!
Oh Tony, I am thinking about the videos where you shared your grief. I'm so touched that you told us we helped. I'm so glad. Now as for this video, it's fun to watch Bruce play in the snow. It's fun to watch you build that fire. I have been told by other New Zealanders I know that beachwood is very hard. I bet it is. Thanks for making these great videos and as we say here in the northeast of the USA, keep on keepin on.
I’m in a big bad heatwave here in Texas right now…107F the past 2 days, so these lovely winter camps are outstanding! ♥️Bravo Tony and Brucey!🐾. I enjoy making meals at home for camps and dehydrating them myself. Easy to do and I know it will be delicious. Beats store-bought any day.😊 Thank you🙏 for a great camp and I look forward to the new canvas tent you mentioned.🏕♥️🐾
I'm in Arkansas and riding that heat wave (summer) with you and you're right. Watching Tony and Bruce tramp through the snow is worth at least another 5,000 BTUs on the air conditioner!
My grandmother Emily loved camping. She was born in the 20's and was strong, intelligent, and beautiful. She was half Native American and suffered many hard times in her life. I felt there was nothing she couldn't do, from cooking, sewing, gardening and everything in-between. I miss her with all of my being and I wish I would have asked her a million more questions when she was here. Thank you for this one!
Thank you so much for taking us with you & Brucie ! I am disabled and can't get out. I really enjoy hanging out! It's as if I can almost smell the beautiful outdoors! 👍😁❤️
Crying my eyes out over your wonderful idea of immortalising our loved ones...my lost love was my Dad, Doug - A gentle poet, artist, and carpenter who taught me to see beauty and humour in our world. Here's to our Dads!
Brilliant video Tony…. Love when you talk about your Dad, it shows that you’re human. I still miss my Dad who’s been gone since 1995. And my Mom and my little sister Lois recently in 2018. Keep up the great adventures with Bruce until the next one..From Canada
My favorite channel to watch on UA-cam. Just want to mention that watching your videos are so relaxing and calming. I feel like I am camping with you regardless where you camp. Also, I want to say that I also miss my Dad a lot who past away four years ago. Believe me I cried every time with you when you talked about your Dad. My Dad made me who I am today, Strong Female. lots of love for You and Bruce!🥰
Very nicely said Jennifer.I lost my dad at 59.Was a GREAT man to us 11 children,think about him all the time,and yes when Tony talked about his dad i cried with him.
I have never watched someone camping before, but for some reason I adore watching you and Bruce. You have many fans and I thank you for that as you help me to forget sometimes there's a lot of bad things going on but you just need to get away from it for a while.
I must say the snow is beautiful. Especially since I am able to enjoy it from my warm home while eating a piece of just baked peach pie. Thank you for doing the hard part for us. Beautiful country.
Thank you and Bruce for bringing me alone.the snow is so beautiful thank you.tell the miss and your son hi.and I look forward to seeing you and Bruce on the next trip.bye for now handsome.
Such a great video. Appreciate the discussion about mental health and the suggestion of creating your own videos. My parents passed away in 1993 and 2006 I miss them and think of them everyday. I am so grateful to have had such great role models in them for raising mine own kids. Again loved this video one of your best.
I admire your devotion to finish what you start,. even in the snow. I was cold just watching you. Thank you for sharing how you got through your dads passing. Its very tough and very different for each of us. My condolences to you and your family. I'm 64, but still cry thinking of my family I have lost In the past 5 yrs. My son Ramon passed at 40 yrs old from blood clots in 2017, my sister Carmen died passed from cancer 2019. My husband passed in April 2021 from Covid. Its been very hard. Thank you for inviting us to share with you. I'm taking it one day at a time. God bless you. Take care. Seeya next time.
Great video. Love your talk about mental health. I lost my Mom last year, like u lost your Dad. I get the deep pain your dealing with. Stay strong bud. Its clear you have a huge heart. 🍺
Hi Tony, Another great trip out and I love to see Bruce in his element! I am from Scotland and fully endorse what he says about Bruce -- don't mess with what nature has created. These dogs can run all day, every day, in any weather you care to throw at them and come back for more.
You know it's gonna be a good day when AB uploads a new video that's 3 hours long. Time to put on some coffee and enjoy. Thanks for what you do fellas (Tony & Bruce)
Thank you for your talk about your dad. I am going through the same thing with my beautiful mum Rose Babbington. A huge part of me has been lost since she has passed away. I think of her everyday. I speak of her everyday and I miss her sooooo much. I am so grateful for her being part of my life.
I enjoy the outdoors also and it helps me reflect on my life and helps me when I think of my mum and other whanau members that have passed over. Something about the outdoors that just seems to help heal. Thanks for your videos, I appreciate them.
Thank you, Tony, for another great adventure and give us space to talk about grief. I miss my grandma, she was an amazing lady, full of life, always with a smile on her face. Happy and very wise person, who gave great advice. She died when she was 97! I was her when she was dying and that really gave me peace and help with grief. ❤❤❤❤Love you grandma so much, rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤
Great video. In regards to memorials of those who we loved and lost, I have more than a few but to just name a couple. My grandfather who was a great man and taught me so much, especially the difference of right and wrong and the importance of doing your best and keeping your word. I really missed out on the last 10 years or so of his life and always wish it could of gone different. He was a great man.. Rest easy papas Lester Spencer. The second one is actually my fur baby and best friend of nearly 20 years, my cat Mr. Pickles. He was always there for me through some very trying times and he can never be replaced. Unfortunately he passed in my arms just around 5 months ago. I'm still not over it and never will be. Rest easy my boy. I love, miss and wish I had so much more time with the both of them along with many others who have come and gone. Thanks for letting us use this section for memoralizing all those we loved and lost. Keep up the great videos and tell Brucie hey for me ✌🤘
sometimes I watch these during the day and sometimes I use them to fall asleep (in a good way). Just so relaxing to listen to while trying to nod off. Especially with having PTSD, honestly love how much this has helped me get a good night sleep. ♥️
I think I am actually going to watch the full 3 hours of this video. I am 1:30 in, and it looks like you're off to an adventurous start. Thank you for uploading. 😀💖
Fabulous video! I've been lurking for about a year and figured I'd finally let you know how much I appreciate your content. NZ is so beautiful year round, Brucie is a doll, and your common sense commentary is so refreshing. Thank you!
never seen any of your videos but i'm watching this for some reason at 3am. love that you bring your dog with you. love that you dedicate a segment of your videos to talk about things going on in life. feels really personal. also love that you have the freedom to just say whatever you want. super honest. super good watch. thank you.
I watch these videos with envy. I really respect you for getting out there and getting some head space. There are a lot of positive people out there. Immortalising my Nan, who passed away this year was an incredible person. Lost her husband, my Grandad, very young after a long illness. Live through the bombing during WW2 and moved schools 7 times by the time she was 11. Never complained and always said how great her life had been. Sheila Rogers. Cheers to strong, positive people in our lives.
Absolutely brilliant Tony!!! The Snow settings are my personal favorites and Bruce clearly digs it also !!! You two are the greatest and I thank the both of you for all of the hard work and bringing us along for the adventure my friend. Cheers to you both !!! Keep the phenomenal content coming Tony and Bruce and stay safe!!!!
Very enjoyable thanks. I knew a bloke with a dog like bruce and he called it a scottish mountain dog and it was bred to protect the sheep from danger and retrieve lost sheep in the mountains. He was immensely strong and not bothered by the weather. like yours.
I spent 4 months in hospital watching this and I would've gone nuts in there if I hadn't love these 2 thanks guys I enjoy em still today even tho my leg may still be amputated which is grimm
Incredible energy exerted during a cruel, cold unforgiving weather, but your humor and lively commentary takes the grim out of the reality. This is why we're big fans of you and Brucey. Another great video. Greetings from the cold and rainny mountains of PNG.... Cheers 🥂
When I was 17 my mother (Yvonne), died suddenly of a heart attack, in front of me. It was the most traumatic event in my life, and I struggled for years with guilt over thinking that maybe there was something that I could've done to save her. As I grew older I've found that I'm an empath, and I ended up working in a field helping others at their lowest point, whether emotionally or physically or economically. I feel that my mother is my hero because she maybe spiritually guided me into such work helping others. I thank you for your openness and vulnerability that you've shown us regarding the loss of your dear father. I related to it. I think we all need to sometimes take a pause to get perspective on what really matters in life, and that is to value time, time with the people you love, time for yourself, and know that it's ok to grieve them, cry over them, and miss them when they go. That is the measure of how great that love was, and will always be. ❤️
I love watching the way you and Bruce take care of each other. I have some friends who live with a great dane that is mortally afraid of thunder. He runs into the bathroom and squeezes himself into the bathtub. They put some food and water in the bathroom with him and let him ride it out. Poor thing, I feel bad for Bruce. Great video, thanks.
First of all thanks for setting and talking to us. My husband and I watch Brucie and you all the time. I am not one to subscribe, but I only have one other that I am subscribed to. I love camping a lot. Brought my grand children up on camping that was our fun times. I was sitting here listening to you talk about your dad. I wanted to cry when I watched your show and you had shared that your dad had died. How honest you are to share your feelings. I wished my husband could do that, but he holds things in. Bless his heart. My father-in-law was 70 years old when he built me a 300 Square-foot home. He built it with Cypress bat N board on stilts near the River. I got to spend at least two years with him helping him. it was the best time I ever had. He was the father of seven boys and taught everyone of them how to build and do things on their own, there is nothing they can’t do because of him. He was a scout leader for many years while teaching his boys as well. Many of them are Eagle Scouts an order of the arrow scouts, which are very high honors. He was an amazing father-in-law to his daughter-in-law’s, but I always felt I was his favorite. My husband and I went up on the weekend and something went terribly wrong. I watched him all weekend as a medic. I knew the signs told my husband he needed to get him to the hospital as soon as possible. My husband and I were there the day he passed, it was very special to us being there with him because I got to hold him and tell him what he meant to me. He was a father I never had. He was the love of my life and I have all his old jackets. I miss him so much that I will sometimes put on one of his old jackets and wrap it around me and feel his hugs. His name was Henry. I still cry for him and can’t wait to see him again one day. Thank you for allowing us to share the one that meant so much to us. God bless you and keep up the good work, you and Brucie are amazing. Signing off Teresa.
A wonderful idea to remember, as I think that as long as we keep talking about those we have lost, remember them and all the memories, then it’s like we can still keep hold of a small part of them. My little brother Michael was killed in 2015 when he was just 22, and not a day goes by that I don’t remember him or think of him. He was autistic and adored trains, so to celebrate what would have been his 30th birthday this July, my partner and I are hoping to visit a small railway. Every year on his birthday, I make a donation to a local heritage railway in his name as I think he’d like that. I’ll always remember him - and in a way Bruce reminds me a little of him, or his spirit. Like my brother, Bruce has this natural curiosity, this energy and such love for those close to him. Bruce’s innocence and pure joy at the small things too remind me of my brother too! Thank you for all the videos!
I feel guilty that I was warm and cozy in bed watching this lol it looks so beautiful! I will take advantage of shouting out my dad who passed away when I was young, he's in my thoughts every day! Another fantastic video, thank you for the upload! Take care and see you in the next one!
My grandfather was my hero. When he died, so did al my family. My grandpa held the family together and now everyone hates one another. Xmas is tough. I love you pop and miss you so much.
Watched a couple of other camping videos and I must say your videos are far superior to theirs! They never speak, all equipment is top of the line with no problems (glaming!) and boring (vehicles were part of the camp.) I love your commentary, stories, oopsies, and of course Bruce. Keep making these videos. I really enjoy them along with the beautiful scenery!
bay of plenty boy here and id just like to say as someone who hasnt been able to get home for a few years now thanks Tony and Bruce! loving every moment of your adventures. cheers!
It's been just short of 23 years since I lost the man I loved with all my heart. I carry some very happy memories with me and I still remember his smile and know what he would say to me when I'm looking for answers. Dewitt we still light a candle on boxing day and special occasions and put it in the window to light your way. I still love you rasta. 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 Thank you Tony.
Tony, love you and Brucie camping trips. You are so down to earth and love the stories you talk about. Brucie is absolutely adorable and love how happy he is to see Daddy in the mornings. Keep up the wonderful videos.
Tony I lost my Mom during this pandemic. She didn’t die from the virus. I personally believe that she died from a broken heart. When we went into lockdown, they put the people in hospitals on lockdown. My Mom’s name was Rebecca. She was my best friend on this planet. I’m still grieving over her. Along with all the people in my family and friends who died during the past three years. This whole thing has been tremendously traumatic for every single person on our planet. It’s going to take a whole lot of healing and encouragement for everyone to recover. Thank you so much Tony for asking us to share. It hurts very bad but I needed to do it and I hope that it encourages others. Lots of Love and Peace to Everyone. Please take good care of you and know that you are not alone.❤
My Dad, Andrew was a good man. He died early at 60. I miss him. Thank you for your videos. Ive stopped skipping ads on all my favorate creators because of you! Thanks again Tony!
I really appreciate your videos. It must be quite the work having to move the camera around all the time, making sure you got the right angle and everything is in focus, plus the editing when you get home. Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures
I cannot begin to tell you all you have helped me. I am a senior disabled woman my son was murdered .and recently I found out my other son is on drugs. I’ve never talking to anybody about it. I miss them dearly. I lov your videos n yur honesty is impeccable. Thank you.
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were here in Nova Scotia in late January during a wet and wild snow storm! It can go from rain, to snow, to big flakes making the trees bend with the weight. Love seeing how Bruce just sticks so close...the bond is amazing to see. Very similar to my Otis! Take good care and hope you have an excellent week...Bruce and Otis
Thank you Tony and Bruce for the great videos , after watching this video you have inspired me to tackle my demons head on, I am a British Army Vet of 12 years and also a Fire Fighter of 11 years while watching your cigar time in this video and had a massive lump in my throat , Thank you Tony for being so open during you’re cigar time , i suffer from PTSD , Depression , Anxiety and to top it of I have testicular Cancer , thank you again
It’s 95F(35C) here in southeast Tennessee, USA and 105F(40C) heat index, love these snowy videos to make it not feel as much like hell here 😂😂. Thanks again for all you and your family do for us!
Another good video. I love what you said about immortalizing your loved ones. That's very considerate of you. You are a very kind thoughtful person and Bruce is so lucky to have you for his dad. Bruce is as sweet and loving as usual.
Thanks for coming with us again. Please remember this is not an educational video. Just some entertainment camping with Tony and Bruce. Hope you enjoy. ❤️AB
Great video
Is it Queen birthday holiday weekend in NZ like here in Oz???
@@shirleycowell1514 Last weekend for NZ, sorry my name is Izzy and I'm a kiwi from the North Island
@@izzybooth-nuku7137 thank you xx
Also have to say that Bruce amazes me...he knows the trails so well, even in all that snow. Good boy ❤️
Mike, my best friend of 40 years passed away on June 12, 2022. He had a stroke and was 46. We used to go to Yosemite together. When in the hospital I had his brother show him one of your videos. He was able to enjoy just one. Thank you Tony and blessings to everyone reading.

sorry mate
Dang, sorry to hear that brother. With each passing day I feel my mortality creeping closer. Some changes are being made in my life this very week. I will gain my life back, and I'm going to get busy living again. Just hope I didn't wait too long! Cheers
@@masterp2269 I wish you the best in whatever you have ahead of you. Reading your post felt like it was something I wrote it hit close to me for some reason. I'm basically in the same boat as you.
Hi Mike, really sorry about your friend and was only young.
Can I ask you if you know, was it after having a Covid Vaccination.
The reason I ask is because I had a life changing Pfizer Booster Vaccination and have heart problems now, that I never had previously, I was perfectly healthy prior to having it.
Kindest regards. Brian.
Any other fans of AB who watches the video's while trying to sleep as his storytelling is like a bedtime story? 💤💤💤
Yup
You mean that in a good way, right? lol
yep!
I find them extremely relaxing. These and lawn cutting videos.
Between rain hitting the Tarp or the siund of fire crackling. It is my go to thing if I'm awake at 4 am trying to sleep before having to get up for work😂
How cool is this, going camping on the other side of the world with a pleasant man in a beautiful wilderness? Thank you for inviting us along!
I love how Brucie keeps looking back to see if your following him! He cares for you so much! True love for each other❤️❤️👍
I noticed that too.
He's looking back cos he's trying to loose the boring bugger
What a great idea to immortalize people we miss. Thank you, Tony; hugs to Brucie.
My hero is Annie. When my hubby was hospitalized with a quadruple bypass, she made it possible for me to keep visiting him daily. I would park at her house after driving almost an hour, take the bus to the subway, then the train to the hospital. They were charging so much for parking that before she offered me this, it was costing me the equivalent of half a tank of gas. Another angel in disguise, and one of hubby's best friends, Ben, provided me with the transit tokens. I owe them both eternal gratitude. They made it possible for me to be there for my husband when he needed me most. He was in the hospital for four months in total due to infections and several setbacks.
❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love how Bruce constantly stops and checks to make sure he's following :D
Good doggo
Well, this has made my weekend. Don't actually care where you camp Tony cause it's great to see you both.
Just wanted to add, i lost my dad in September and I get its really tough. Koudos to you Tony to offer a platform for others to vent. Sometimes easier when there isnt people looking at you and feeling awkward
I love how you’re keenly aware of Bruce’s needs. Such a great friend you are to him ❤️
He love's him, but also he Has to be for UA-cams sake-, dumb. He love's Bruce

Thanks Tony and Bruce for another amazing adventure. Tony I’d like to say you are so wise and kind. I appreciate the kindness so much as I don’t feel much of that currently here in the U.S. I feel like people have just lost their humanity. I’ve retreated away from all it.

Love watching you interact with each other. Brucie is in his happy zone!! Love how he sits quietly in the morning until you say Good Morning to him. Then, what a fur ball of energy!! The snow is beautiful!! Thanks for taking us along!!! I can't seem to get enough of these adventures!!!! Glad that your back is doing better!!!
Hi Tony. I started watching your videos when my father was dying from melanoma. Dad and I would stay up watching you, he lived vicariously through you as he was a camper. It was a very tough time at the end, but he died at home which is what he wanted. I miss Dad terribly, so to help me with the grief I watch you and Bruce, and there I am back sitting with Dad again. All the best and thanks 🙏
It's so relaxing and peaceful watching you camp most other campers drink and pass out and most of the video's are just sitting camp up but your is much different and I love it also about the mental health issues for myself I write down everything then go back and reread everything outdoors help me alot also iam dying from COPD and heart problems iam only 46 never smoked but I don't let that stop me I live everyday like it's my life and I enjoy every min of it
Tony, I lost my mother Rena at a very young age. She was an amazing woman and a wonderful mother. She also taught me Loyalty, Honesty and Integrity. Cheers to you for reminding me where I came from and who I am. Because of her I am the Man I am today! I remember my family was very worried about me because they thought I was depressed after she passed but, I was never depressed just sad and was mourning her loss in my own way. I was sad yes, however I was also blessed to have her and everything she taught me as a young man. Thank you and God Bless you and your family!
Oh Tony, I am thinking about the videos where you shared your grief. I'm so touched that you told us we helped. I'm so glad. Now as for this video, it's fun to watch Bruce play in the snow. It's fun to watch you build that fire. I have been told by other New Zealanders I know that beachwood is very hard. I bet it is. Thanks for making these great videos and as we say here in the northeast of the USA, keep on keepin on.
I like that u encourage to talk about loved ones who are gone. Here's to my Dad Alex Wone born 1933 passed on 2o19. Miss you Pop , best man i new.
I’m in a big bad heatwave here in Texas right now…107F the past 2 days, so these lovely winter camps are outstanding! ♥️Bravo Tony and Brucey!🐾.
I enjoy making meals at home for camps and dehydrating them myself. Easy to do and I know it will be delicious. Beats store-bought any day.😊 Thank you🙏 for a great camp and I look forward to the new canvas tent you mentioned.🏕♥️🐾
We're in NE Oklahoma and it would be wonderful if it began to snow today!!
I'm in Arkansas and riding that heat wave (summer) with you and you're right. Watching Tony and Bruce tramp through the snow is worth at least another 5,000 BTUs on the air conditioner!
My grandmother Emily loved camping. She was born in the 20's and was strong, intelligent, and beautiful. She was half Native American and suffered many hard times in her life. I felt there was nothing she couldn't do, from cooking, sewing, gardening and everything in-between. I miss her with all of my being and I wish I would have asked her a million more questions when she was here. Thank you for this one!
Thank you so much for taking us with you & Brucie ! I am disabled and can't get out. I really enjoy hanging out! It's as if I can almost smell the beautiful outdoors! 👍😁❤️
Crying my eyes out over your wonderful idea of immortalising our loved ones...my lost love was my Dad, Doug - A gentle poet, artist, and carpenter who taught me to see beauty and humour in our world. Here's to our Dads!
Brilliant video Tony…. Love when you talk about your Dad, it shows that you’re human. I still miss my Dad who’s been gone since 1995. And my Mom and my little sister Lois recently in 2018. Keep up the great adventures with Bruce until the next one..From Canada
I'm so sorry you have lost so many wonderful pepeople. Much love from Oklahoma
Always look forward to your camping adventures thank you so much for taking us along 💟😁
Once again you've outdone yourself. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks so much for allowing the world to join in on your adventures.
I miss my mum I was 19 when she passed I am 40 now there's not one day I don't think of her. Thank you for your videos
💔
My favorite channel to watch on UA-cam. Just want to mention that watching your videos are so relaxing and calming. I feel like I am camping with you regardless where you camp. Also, I want to say that I also miss my Dad a lot who past away four years ago. Believe me I cried every time with you when you talked about your Dad. My Dad made me who I am today, Strong Female.
lots of love for You and Bruce!🥰
I miss my dad too. He passed away 2 years ago. Sorry for your loss too. X
Very nicely said Jennifer.I lost my dad at 59.Was a GREAT man to us 11 children,think about him all the time,and yes when Tony talked about his dad i cried with him.
Oh man. The look on Bruce’s face with his jaw on passenger seat is priceless!
Thanks for including more of the hiking bits, I love to see the actual route terrain.
I have never watched someone camping before, but for some reason I adore watching you and Bruce. You have many fans and I thank you for that as you help me to forget sometimes there's a lot of bad things going on but you just need to get away from it for a while.
I must say the snow is beautiful. Especially since I am able to enjoy it from my warm home while eating a piece of just baked peach pie. Thank you for doing the hard part for us. Beautiful country.
Thank you and Bruce for bringing me alone.the snow is so beautiful thank you.tell the miss and your son hi.and I look forward to seeing you and Bruce on the next trip.bye for now handsome.
Such a great video. Appreciate the discussion about mental health and the suggestion of creating your own videos. My parents passed away in 1993 and 2006 I miss them and think of them everyday. I am so grateful to have had such great role models in them for raising mine own kids. Again loved this video one of your best.
I admire your devotion to finish what you start,. even in the snow. I was cold just watching you. Thank you for sharing how you got through your dads passing. Its very tough and very different for each of us. My condolences to you and your family. I'm 64, but still cry thinking of my family I have lost In the past 5 yrs. My son Ramon passed at 40 yrs old from blood clots in 2017, my sister Carmen died passed from cancer 2019. My husband passed in April 2021 from Covid. Its been very hard. Thank you for inviting us to share with you. I'm taking it one day at a time. God bless you. Take care. Seeya next time.
I think it's cute how Bruce goes ahead then he'll stop to check to make sure your coming . He's such a wonderful dog .
Happy Father's Day to you and everyone out there
Looks lovely in the snow - another great camp out for you and Bruce, thanks for carrying us with you!
Great video. Love your talk about mental health. I lost my Mom last year, like u lost your Dad. I get the deep pain your dealing with. Stay strong bud. Its clear you have a huge heart. 🍺
Hi Tony,
Another great trip out and I love to see Bruce in his element!
I am from Scotland and fully endorse what he says about Bruce -- don't mess with what nature has created.
These dogs can run all day, every day, in any weather you care to throw at them and come back for more.
Bruce is such a great companion, I love hoe he runs a couple feet then looks back at you, wait for you to catch up and then takes off.
You know it's gonna be a good day when AB uploads a new video that's 3 hours long. Time to put on some coffee and enjoy. Thanks for what you do fellas (Tony & Bruce)
Thank you for your talk about your dad. I am going through the same thing with my beautiful mum Rose Babbington. A huge part of me has been lost since she has passed away. I think of her everyday. I speak of her everyday and I miss her sooooo much. I am so grateful for her being part of my life.
I enjoy the outdoors also and it helps me reflect on my life and helps me when I think of my mum and other whanau members that have passed over. Something about the outdoors that just seems to help heal. Thanks for your videos, I appreciate them.
Thank you, Tony, for another great adventure and give us space to talk about grief. I miss my grandma, she was an amazing lady, full of life, always with a smile on her face. Happy and very wise person, who gave great advice. She died when she was 97! I was her when she was dying and that really gave me peace and help with grief. ❤❤❤❤Love you grandma so much, rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤
AB Camping is the only channel that can get away with posting a 3+ hour video and still get subscribers to watch the entire thing.
Thank you Tony & Bruce , you both keep me in the real world ✊🥰
Yes my favorites Tony & Brucie time to relax and ready for another adventure thank you ❤️
Watching Tony and Brucie at 344 a.m. love the comforting sounds of Tony talking and him and Brucie setting up camp and all 🥳🥳🥳
Amazing! How beautiful in all the snow. You and Brucie what a team! Your cigar chat was very helpful .. Thank you Tony❤
Great video. In regards to memorials of those who we loved and lost, I have more than a few but to just name a couple. My grandfather who was a great man and taught me so much, especially the difference of right and wrong and the importance of doing your best and keeping your word. I really missed out on the last 10 years or so of his life and always wish it could of gone different. He was a great man.. Rest easy papas Lester Spencer.
The second one is actually my fur baby and best friend of nearly 20 years, my cat Mr. Pickles. He was always there for me through some very trying times and he can never be replaced. Unfortunately he passed in my arms just around 5 months ago. I'm still not over it and never will be. Rest easy my boy.
I love, miss and wish I had so much more time with the both of them along with many others who have come and gone. Thanks for letting us use this section for memoralizing all those we loved and lost.
Keep up the great videos and tell Brucie hey for me ✌🤘
Brucie is one of the smartest dogs, and you are quite kind to him always.
Another outstanding episode of The Bruce Show...
sometimes I watch these during the day and sometimes I use them to fall asleep (in a good way). Just so relaxing to listen to while trying to nod off. Especially with having PTSD, honestly love how much this has helped me get a good night sleep. ♥️
I love that Bruce leads the way up to your campsite and leads the way back home again.
I think I am actually going to watch the full 3 hours of this video. I am 1:30 in, and it looks like you're off to an adventurous start. Thank you for uploading. 😀💖
My husband and myself we always watch full videos; they are so engaging. Time flies by, it is so interesting. Thank you, Tony, thank you Bruce.
Brucey is so adorable the way he stares at you paying full attention to every word you say. He is indeed very smart.
Fabulous video! I've been lurking for about a year and figured I'd finally let you know how much I appreciate your content. NZ is so beautiful year round, Brucie is a doll, and your common sense commentary is so refreshing. Thank you!
snow camping is amazing.i love snow i hope one day i can camp like this
never seen any of your videos but i'm watching this for some reason at 3am. love that you bring your dog with you. love that you dedicate a segment of your videos to talk about things going on in life. feels really personal. also love that you have the freedom to just say whatever you want. super honest. super good watch. thank you.
I watch these videos with envy. I really respect you for getting out there and getting some head space. There are a lot of positive people out there. Immortalising my Nan, who passed away this year was an incredible person. Lost her husband, my Grandad, very young after a long illness. Live through the bombing during WW2 and moved schools 7 times by the time she was 11. Never complained and always said how great her life had been. Sheila Rogers. Cheers to strong, positive people in our lives.
❤️💖❤️
Absolutely brilliant Tony!!! The Snow settings are my personal favorites and Bruce clearly digs it also !!! You two are the greatest and I thank the both of you for all of the hard work and bringing us along for the adventure my friend. Cheers to you both !!! Keep the phenomenal content coming Tony and Bruce and stay safe!!!!
Very enjoyable thanks.
I knew a bloke with a dog like bruce and he called it a scottish mountain dog and it was bred to protect the sheep from danger and retrieve lost sheep in the mountains. He was immensely strong and not bothered by the weather. like yours.
Oh man can’t wait. Thank you Tony and Bruce.
I spent 4 months in hospital watching this and I would've gone nuts in there if I hadn't love these 2 thanks guys I enjoy em still today even tho my leg may still be amputated which is grimm
Incredible energy exerted during a cruel, cold unforgiving weather, but your humor and lively commentary takes the grim out of the reality. This is why we're big fans of you and Brucey. Another great video. Greetings from the cold and rainny mountains of PNG.... Cheers 🥂
My parents used to work in Tari, PNG running a printing shop. They made some great friends there.
When I was 17 my mother (Yvonne), died suddenly of a heart attack, in front of me. It was the most traumatic event in my life, and I struggled for years with guilt over thinking that maybe there was something that I could've done to save her. As I grew older I've found that I'm an empath, and I ended up working in a field helping others at their lowest point, whether emotionally or physically or economically. I feel that my mother is my hero because she maybe spiritually guided me into such work helping others. I thank you for your openness and vulnerability that you've shown us regarding the loss of your dear father. I related to it. I think we all need to sometimes take a pause to get perspective on what really matters in life, and that is to value time, time with the people you love, time for yourself, and know that it's ok to grieve them, cry over them, and miss them when they go. That is the measure of how great that love was, and will always be. ❤️
❤️❤️
Always great watching Tony, and Brucie it was so relaxing to watch the beautiful New Zealand landscape well done again 👍👍😁😁
Bruce is absolutely gorgeous running and bouncing through the snow.
Thank you for making this video.
I love watching the way you and Bruce take care of each other. I have some friends who live with a great dane that is mortally afraid of thunder. He runs into the bathroom and squeezes himself into the bathtub. They put some food and water in the bathroom with him and let him ride it out. Poor thing, I feel bad for Bruce. Great video, thanks.
First of all thanks for setting and talking to us. My husband and I watch Brucie and you all the time. I am not one to subscribe, but I only have one other that I am subscribed to. I love camping a lot. Brought my grand children up on camping that was our fun times. I was sitting here listening to you talk about your dad. I wanted to cry when I watched your show and you had shared that your dad had died.
How honest you are to share your feelings. I wished my husband could do that, but he holds things in. Bless his heart. My father-in-law was 70 years old when he built me a 300 Square-foot home. He built it with Cypress bat N board on stilts near the River. I got to spend at least two years with him helping him. it was the best time I ever had. He was the father of seven boys and taught everyone of them how to build and do things on their own, there is nothing they can’t do because of him. He was a scout leader for many years while teaching his boys as well. Many of them are Eagle Scouts an order of the arrow scouts, which are very high honors. He was an amazing father-in-law to his daughter-in-law’s, but I always felt I was his favorite. My husband and I went up on the weekend and something went terribly wrong. I watched him all weekend as a medic. I knew the signs told my husband he needed to get him to the hospital as soon as possible. My husband and I were there the day he passed, it was very special to us being there with him because I got to hold him and tell him what he meant to me. He was a father I never had. He was the love of my life and I have all his old jackets. I miss him so much that I will sometimes put on one of his old jackets and wrap it around me and feel his hugs. His name was Henry. I still cry for him and can’t wait to see him again one day.
Thank you for allowing us to share the one that meant so much to us.
God bless you and keep up the good work, you and Brucie are amazing.
Signing off
Teresa.
Thanks for all you do. I regularly keep your videos on for relaxation and a chance to relax. You rock!
This is 1 reason I love watching this channel. 😍
So beautiful where you live on this planet we share.
Thanks for taking on grim weather!
A wonderful idea to remember, as I think that as long as we keep talking about those we have lost, remember them and all the memories, then it’s like we can still keep hold of a small part of them.
My little brother Michael was killed in 2015 when he was just 22, and not a day goes by that I don’t remember him or think of him.
He was autistic and adored trains, so to celebrate what would have been his 30th birthday this July, my partner and I are hoping to visit a small railway. Every year on his birthday, I make a donation to a local heritage railway in his name as I think he’d like that.
I’ll always remember him - and in a way Bruce reminds me a little of him, or his spirit. Like my brother, Bruce has this natural curiosity, this energy and such love for those close to him. Bruce’s innocence and pure joy at the small things too remind me of my brother too!
Thank you for all the videos!
I feel guilty that I was warm and cozy in bed watching this lol it looks so beautiful! I will take advantage of shouting out my dad who passed away when I was young, he's in my thoughts every day! Another fantastic video, thank you for the upload! Take care and see you in the next one!
If I fall asleep, I just watch it again! This is attemp #3. I never tire of watching Tony & Bruce!
Thankyou Tony good to see you and Bruce! This looks like a great video I love your content! Hope you’re well🙂
My grandfather was my hero. When he died, so did al my family. My grandpa held the family together and now everyone hates one another. Xmas is tough. I love you pop and miss you so much.
Watched a couple of other camping videos and I must say your videos are far superior to theirs! They never speak, all equipment is top of the line with no problems (glaming!) and boring (vehicles were part of the camp.) I love your commentary, stories, oopsies, and of course Bruce. Keep making these videos. I really enjoy them along with the beautiful scenery!
Check out Simon a bloke in the woods …he does lovely vlogs which are also mellow enjoyable adventures.
Also try Matthew Posa who camps with his dogs Monty and Ruger.
bay of plenty boy here and id just like to say as someone who hasnt been able to get home for a few years now thanks Tony and Bruce! loving every moment of your adventures.
cheers!
Bruce is funny and a lots of ideas to escape😂
It's been just short of 23 years since I lost the man I loved with all my heart. I carry some very happy memories with me and I still remember his smile and know what he would say to me when I'm looking for answers. Dewitt we still light a candle on boxing day and special occasions and put it in the window to light your way. I still love you rasta. 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 Thank you Tony.
I like your videos..because they are so peaceful and relaxing...I hope you and Bruce will keep up the good videos...The snow is awesome 👌
Tony, love you and Brucie camping trips. You are so down to earth and love the stories you talk about. Brucie is absolutely adorable and love how happy he is to see Daddy in the mornings. Keep up the wonderful videos.
I can't believe how exciting this is!
Tony I lost my Mom during this pandemic. She didn’t die from the virus. I personally believe that she died from a broken heart. When we went into lockdown, they put the people in hospitals on lockdown. My Mom’s name was Rebecca. She was my best friend on this planet. I’m still grieving over her. Along with all the people in my family and friends who died during the past three years. This whole thing has been tremendously traumatic for every single person on our planet. It’s going to take a whole lot of healing and encouragement for everyone to recover. Thank you so much Tony for asking us to share. It hurts very bad but I needed to do it and I hope that it encourages others. Lots of Love and Peace to Everyone. Please take good care of you and know that you are not alone.❤
Awesome camp! So ready for the next one. Super relaxing! Great job Tony and Bruce!
My Dad, Andrew was a good man. He died early at 60. I miss him. Thank you for your videos. Ive stopped skipping ads on all my favorate creators because of you! Thanks again Tony!
I really appreciate your videos. It must be quite the work having to move the camera around all the time, making sure you got the right angle and everything is in focus, plus the editing when you get home. Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures
I cannot begin to tell you all you have helped me. I am a senior disabled woman my son was murdered .and recently I found out my other son is on drugs. I’ve never talking to anybody about it. I miss them dearly. I lov your videos n yur honesty is impeccable. Thank you.
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were here in Nova Scotia in late January during a wet and wild snow storm! It can go from rain, to snow, to big flakes making the trees bend with the weight. Love seeing how Bruce just sticks so close...the bond is amazing to see. Very similar to my Otis! Take good care and hope you have an excellent week...Bruce and Otis
Thank you Tony and Bruce for the great videos , after watching this video you have inspired me to tackle my demons head on, I am a British Army Vet of 12 years and also a Fire Fighter of 11 years while watching your cigar time in this video and had a massive lump in my throat , Thank you Tony for being so open during you’re cigar time , i suffer from PTSD , Depression , Anxiety and to top it of I have testicular Cancer , thank you again
It’s 95F(35C) here in southeast Tennessee, USA and 105F(40C) heat index, love these snowy videos to make it not feel as much like hell here 😂😂. Thanks again for all you and your family do for us!
Yes we are melting!

Another good video. I love what you said about immortalizing your loved ones. That's very considerate of you. You are a very kind thoughtful person and Bruce is so lucky to have you for his dad. Bruce is as sweet and loving as usual.
Love your videos, I’m learning a lot about my brothers adopted country. He lives there with his daughters. One of my nieces lives on the South Island.
This is wonderful!
Enjoy all you and Bruces videos. Thanks for taking us along. I know its alot of hard work to make these videos.
I have my coffee when you have yours, and when you says cheers, I drink with you! Love camping with you and Bruce!
you seem like good people and Bruce is such a joy to watch. What a loving pair!
