    I'm thinking you should have 200k subs before long. You are the "fire king," no whining about "can't find any wood," the wood's too wet," etc, etc, you just get it done. A camp needs a fire if possible, not only for cooking but for general ambiance, warmth, and comfort. Cooking burgers on the open fire is the ultimate camp comfort. You excel at remote camping, no battery banks, power supplies, electric stoves, refrigerators, etc, etc. This is real camping! By the way, I missed the opening beer, is everything OK?

    Camping is fun, but it is rarely easy. And then add on top of that that you film at all. That takes a lot of work. I appreciate that you share all of that with us. And thank you for sharing those spectacular views from the top of the mountain. absolutely stunning!

    WOW! The new tent is insane, 650grms and packs up smaller than a loaf of bread, it looks like it was designed after the Tesla Cyber Truck. Those morning land scapes were Stunning. And as a proud member of your channel, I can say with honesty that your videos are some of the best camping videos on UA-cam in my opinion.

    Been binge watching many of your videos. I really like the way you set up your tarp/tent configuration. I don't see many people do it quite your way but how you have it set up makes a great deal of sense. It is like having a covered porch in front of your tent entrance. You can sit stand and enjoy the scenery and your fire if you have one. Really. Man you folks get one heck of a lot of rain down there. .

Seriously to anyone watching this…this guy is the real deal and is tough. These conditions are highly changeable in very remote conditions. Thanks for the effort.

    Z-packs is very light- good to see you embracing ultralight- your body will thank you! There is a Nelson company called Kiwiultralight that makes very high quality gear- their tents are class leading in livable space and use a new material called Ultra TNT. Their quilts are top spec too- I have two of them.

    • @AbelandVictoria
      @AbelandVictoria  Рік тому +1

      I’ll use light stuff when I can get away with it but it’s not really that will suited to the kind of camps I generally do. Yeah I took a look a the moa tent looks pretty nice. It will be interesting to see if ultra tnt becomes popular I know z packs claimed it didn’t live up to their standards but they could be wrong.

    • @somebody_keas
      @somebody_keas Рік тому

      Yeah its probably not light enough for them-its what they are known for!("So light!"-Abel's back) It has most of the properties of dcf but is cheaper-might catch on.
