oh welcome back everybody do another
camping with Tony and Bruce so uh we're gonna Camp one night in the Pine Forest and I've got about 25 25 kilos
of gear and drinks and all sorts so I've gone from ultra light to
ultra heavy just to mix it up a bit and it's a slog not for Brucie
hey Bruce this is this is vertical oh carrying this much gear up
a hill it's a nightmare okay I'll bring you back at the camp spot I think Bruce this will do yep let's set it up here all right
everyone I'm gonna get this pack off get the big camera out get everything
to set up there's a storm coming I need to get a lot set up so let's do this oh all right everyone the rain is starting to come in
we've got to get the tarp up pretty urgently and I think Bruce wants his treat
which is why he's sitting here hassling meat now I do have a rain jacket but I
think it's just too hot to put on it's too too humid I'm sweating as it is if
I put that on I'm going to sweat even more okay so what we'll do is we'll give Bruce
actually his dinner because it's his dinner time so rather than a treat we'll just
go straight into dinner I think which makes more sense for him because he's hungry aren't you Brucie oh and the rain is start to come down but I'm
wearing I'm wearing a nylon shirt a fishing shirt so to be honest it sheds sheds the water pretty well wait Bruce and dries really quickly hang on Brucey so Bruce gets a mixture of Science Diet food and organic wet lamb and salmon okay go on in Brucie oh you can probably
see I'm soaked my back from sweat okay let's get the top up so my plan is now
the wind is swirling all over the place so I'll have to deal with the wind afterwards just
want to get some shield from the rain first foreign I've got a four by three meter tarp which will give us plenty of protection okay so I'll use my special guidelines that I pre-make if you've never seen these before it's a carabiner you know get this
into Focus here a carabiner how old I'm I've got a somehow get this to focus on what
I'm looking at here yeah so it's a carabiner attached to a clip here and another
Carabiner at the other end you just hook it around a tree and hook it
onto the top okay so we're going to do we'll do length ways long foreign see how quickly I can get this done see the carabiners just make it so much easier okay then we just tighten them off foreign okay more this is looking promising so it's summer here in New Zealand just
in case you're wondering it's February southern hemisphere yeah
I've always got to say that you can hear the cicadas which definitely means summer is here all right so what we want to do is takes a while to get the top properly configured okay so I need to move it that way a bit okay I don't know if you could see
Brucie there with his stick he's helping all right we're getting there oh yes check it out okay now secret
weapon I've got a pole with me this is something that I've only just
recently started doing on wild camps it's bringing a pole along not seeing anyone else do it and
I don't want to cut my own Pole and in some places just not allowed to anyway okay so what I figure is this
might not have enough cord to hold the pole I'll tell you what we'll do I've got loads of guys I've got eight of them so you know what we're gonna do we're gonna Double Diet so this is a green elephant pole and
this goes up to I think 2.5 meters something like that I can't
remember I'm pretty sure it is 2.5 so I want this long enough high enough that it pushes all the water
to the back it might look like the water is going to drain down to me but it's not
there's a drainage path right behind there okay so I figure we'll push that up a bit more we can have a good Lookout and then what we'll probably
do is guide the back down foreign so in case you're
wondering why am I double guying it is to keep the pole stable
so it can't rock sideways you see look at that completely
stable but I've got all this space so I just need to tweak it a bit so I probably want this quite low at
the back I've got it too high here okay you bring it down I need it to run off smoothly to the back here let's talk about yourselves and then I'll probably add
one more guy in the middle to make sure it works and that
all the water can drain off although that's looking pretty good like that okay
how do we look oh yes look at that tons of space all right and there's room to
set the tent up at the back here there's a way the breeze is coming from
all around there's just no way to fix it okay let's get the tent set up
Bruce what are you doing in my bag okay so for the tent I've
got the hilleberg Nyack niac uh you know what let me give Bruce some
water because his head is dinner now you might need water there
is no water up here at all some water give me his water okay so yeah hillberg and yak whatever that means all right so first things first just clear the ground sticks pine cones anything like that yeah that's good there's nothing there okay so this is a three season tent foreign my last wild camp and it was superb I mean I didn't really put it to the test and
this won't put it to the test either because I'm Undercover but it is 100 waterproof I have actually tested it in the rain
at home that does a pretty good good job okay so just stake out the floor all right so we're due for quite a bit of rain I think the forecast said
something like two inches tonight we'll see but mainly I think it's the wind
you've got to worry about okay poles okay so make sure the poles are seated correctly okay it's one I don't know where Bruce is where are you Brucey oops oh there you are right next to me okay oh no Peg uh it's chucking down wow this ground is just so crap okay ah wow it just suddenly started pelting down right I don't think I'm
going to bother with the guys or the vestibule so I'll tie these back now I've got some pooling behind so
hang on I've got to fix that with a guy and a peg just thought that might happen so one
peg and one guy we'll sort that out foreign s great success look at that
I've got a water source now and this top has been cleaned
so you can collect water from it but look at that so what I might do is just
make sure this channel is definitely sorted but to be honest the ground is so absorbent
it doesn't really go anywhere near the tent oh and I need to guide the back
of the tent out I didn't do that wind up pussy wind out move Bruce good boy
okay there you go right I need to just put out that guy at the bottom there at the
back of the tent that's for ventilation it's all right for Brucie he's tiny
he can just walk under the guys all right this is my last guideline oh why am I I don't need a guy like comes
with a guy I was just being stupid there you go perfect all right we're looking good everything is
flowing back it's then draining off to that little ditch on the side there I don't
think we'll get any pooling looks good awesome I mean I could if I wanted to lower this right
end and just have it all go straight off the edge should I do that why don't I do that saved me a ton of hassle later
if I decide to do it then how's that Okay so anything that falls on the other side
of the tent is going straight off the side it's a lot less coming on this side perfect okay let's get back to it oh hang on let
me just check everything's tight yeah I think we're looking good foreign oh okay where was I oh my back is soaked now
I need it to dry off thank God it's not cold I do have a spare top just in case
but this will dry really quickly okay so this door might
provide some wind protection uh maybe not I think we're looking good okay so let's
just check that the guys are taught obviously make sure you've got a
really strong tart before doing that reinforced guy reinforced
points and everything else we're good all right I can get the rest
of my gear out now and I've got loads all right food plates cup my food is in a cool bag so this pack is uh 110 liters
it's huge all right spare clothes boost out of there out
you've had your dinner cheeky okay pillow so the the bathtub floor on this is really high
it's got great ventilation all the way around I'll show you later but the floor look at the
back there the floor is about eight inches up the solid waterproof floor it's incredible okay hoodie Bruce's towel very important
for later my sleeping bag ah table Bruce's bed chat frying pan mattress my pad okay nothing else in there got my Kettle I've got loads of water I
think I've got three liters of water with me alcohol stove spare alcohol toilet paper ouch pouch and the lantern and I've got my camera gear in
here that's about everything oh okay what can I hang the lantern if that'll work don't lose that foreign okay oh all right let's get the
chair set up so I can chill out I've got just enough Headroom here so this is the helinox my new lightweight
chair I think it's the zero high back so light oh come here oh yeah okay so let's put Bruce's Bowl
just where it can collect some water yep it's going in okay ah okay table uh well I'm missing here foreign awesome look at that that's stable enough kind of okay let's put all our bags in the temp bag keep it tidy campsite oh so what else have I got oh I've got my
pad inflator as well which I'm going to need because that's my light
inside the tent and my headlamp and my GoPro okay now we're cooking look at this what a neat camp okay more food wow this rain I told you it's gonna rain or actually
let's just do that directly on there so I've got an alcohol burner with me like a mini Transit the reason I don't I haven't
bought the big transa for a couple of camps now is it just takes up so much room in the pack so much room and it's kind of annoying kettle cutlery actually that will be good
stop it from in case it spills oh man and that's Percy's food ah
hey Brucey oh you're soaked wow it is coming down it's great this is what you all want it's almost deafening but I tell you what it's
great because there's no wind at the moment let me bring you in closer all right how's that is that better oh and breathe I hope you can hear me over this rain Okay so this side is flapping quite
a lot because of the wind I'm wondering if I guy that if I guide this
side of the top down it might stop it flapping and flicking all this water everywhere
so I can just guide that to the tree and that yeah that should
put enough pressure on it that'll stop this annoying flapping it's just
because the direction of the wind the other side is not doing it as much because it's
more connected to the tent so let's do this so it's just this bit here I could just loosely connect it to this tree here Road there let's do the site okay that's enough and I'm never going to get dry foreign
yeah that's better now it's not doing it oh I am never gonna dry out all right you know
what I definitely need a beer oh it's so urgent oh yeah you've had your dinner Brucie come on now you're being cheeky what am
I having this is a cassels nectar on IPA you're gonna come and lie
down you're gonna lay down out of the rain cheers everybody thanks for coming oh that's so good that first
one I really had to go oh wow so I've still got a little while to wait until I
put my dinner on it's just a bit too early I've got about just under an hour so what I might do
is bring you all back when I'm ready to do dinner cheers everyone foreign so I've done some modifications to the top
and the tent hang on Bruce your soaked go and sit over there done some modifications um
I've brought the whole tarp down at the front and the raised it slightly at the back Bruce
come and lie down come on come and lie down lie down it's because I'm talking to the camera
um also I've moved the tent this way a bit it wasn't scented and it was bugging me because it
was off to one side so now it's more centered the reason I bought the tarp down was the wind
was coming through and it was so high the top that it was just springing spray through suddenly
so I needed to lower it that's what I've done it's much more cozy now um but I got drenched doing
it I can't be bothered to put my rain jacket on because I'll be putting it on and off and on
and off hopefully this shirt just dries quickly ah so on that note I think it's
time for me to do my own dinner yep so let's get that sorted so I'm
actually sitting on Bruce's towel to soak up some of the moisture from my back
and tell you what this chair this henna Knox high back it is comfy but it's a bit it's a bit
wonky I don't know why I think it's just this bottom bit moves a lot it's got this venting
at the bottom so it does move around a lot holy moly wow excellent I don't know if the camera is going to pick
any of this up it's just bucketing down okay let's get dinner on Bruce is very excited
about it aren't you Brucie hey are you excited you're excited okay so it's a bit finicky this thing I don't want to bring you in too close to
look at this because I want you to feel the ambience of the rain and I'm sure
you're seeing it bouncing off of the umbrella and if you can see Bruce
then I'm sure you'll see he's pouncing I don't think you can see him
so he's over here pouncing at the Shadow from the light it's trees triggered okay let's see if this light's first time alcohol is a bugger to light sometimes oh here we go okay perfect so what's for dinner well first things first let's
get my phone out the way of that okay so for dinner we've got no Bruce
you've had your dinner this is my dinner I'm confusing in there with the word dinner so for dinner we're doing Burgers
now now I've had a lot of comments about oh have you given up on Burgers no no
they're my favorite always will be if that is just not going to change now my foot my burgers
are a bit Frozen these are going to take a while oh and that is why I have this titanium pan here oh man look we've got a fire foreign 's on fire everything's on the
floor that was a complete cock up ow so I wonder what the temperature
rating for this table is oh man how did I do that how many times have I done something like that
this is why by the way you don't use alcohol for alcohol stoves in a tent because that happens okay
so the problem there is it's such a small base that it tips over so I'm gonna have to really watch this to make sure that doesn't happen again oh you know what the problem was I didn't have
it fully open damn it it's always something is it just me maybe it is no one else ever have these issues okay now let's hope that's not
melting the table no it's not all right should we try again gosh this base is crap there we go holy moly so the the alcohol has gone everywhere that's
why it's just there's so much flame we just got to wait for that to die down it's got to burn off
everything that's in that titanium plate so I put a titanium plate underneath it just to catch any
spent fuel and boy that was a good job I did oh such a klutz all right what
else is going in here onion oh do as I say not as I do I never professed to being the expert at anything this is going to be a real bugger to cook on you
know what it was this exact pan that I spilled everything last time but look at this I've
got this Gerber thing that turns into tongs and we've got some sizzling going on it would probably help if the table was level
which it isn't that's not going to help either okay these are going to take ages to
cook because they're partly Frozen and I'm gonna have to refill that
fuel now because I spilled loads yeah all right I'll let the fuel run
out or do I top it up and light it again I'm going to top it up and light it again let's
see if I can blow it out without causing commotion nope impossible I've got to let it blow
out I've got to let it go out oh hang on I've got no I've got a damper wait all
is not lost let's see if this thing works yay it does okay should we try again
no Bruce I know what you're thinking no oh come on if this is the first time you've seen
my channel then um yeah this is pretty normal yeah there's this is pretty normal
for me I drop stuff all the time see look at that the chair is so wonky I don't know if this chair can take
my weight properly it must be able to I'm 90 kilos that's that's not a lot all right hey the table is good it lasted
it didn't melt that's a good thing that's our Flame see look that's much better now okay I've just got to be a
bit more careful with this obviously it's a bit sensitive okay come on let's cook it's sizzling so it's a dead giveaway every
time I move the camera just to give you another angle obviously
I'm going to come back a bit wet oh now I'm a righty not a lefty so using
tongs with my left hand doesn't work oh it smells good the onions
smell good the burgers smell great all right it's a bit more careful this time there we go just got to be careful so the heaviest of the rain hasn't even come yet the heaviest isn't due for another
oh three hours around bedtime that's when it's absolutely mannered shut down and now I've lit this this is giving off a lot
of heat it's suddenly got super warm under here it's not amazing I've brought the whole thing
down lit this and now it's really really warm I'm actually suddenly I'm quite toasty great success okay these are going to take
ages so I'll bring you back when I'm pretty much done and they're ready to go okay welcome back everybody my
burgers are pretty much ready so what I need to do now is toast the Buns I made a little sort of wind deflector here
with the foil I put some cheese on so they're cheeseburgers I don't know if I need to shout or
not it's just so loud the rain yeah this little Gerber tool is quite handy actually this they
turn into tongs when you connect them I should have got this a long time ago and I'd seen it as
well I just thought it was a bit of a gimmick but actually yeah so I've got cheese on the onions
are done burgers are done so let's get the Buns on I don't know if I mentioned before
I've put my jacket on because the wind was blowing through and it was grim
that's why it is grim temperatures dropped a bit and when the wind comes through it just
cuts through you and I was a bit damp so just putting this one layer
on this wind this rain jacket on instantly warm just instantly no insulation
needed when it's fairly mild like this so I've got the lights on so he's going to be
off doing his own thing chasing the Shadows as you know it's what he loves to do okay so these buns shouldn't
take long to toast Bruce no no go away don't go anywhere near this Flame I make enough errors as it is I
don't need you making them as well let's try and get some of this
fat into the Buns to cook them just toast the bottom Parts a bit oh I'm so excited about this I
do love Burgers I got a comment because I mentioned about doing MRE camps does
that mean I'm no more burgers or pancakes oh no no that I'll never stop doing them
I'm just doing other things that's all as well but I'll always come back to doing those oh look at that okay let's get the tops on yeah you see the thing with the transaction
is it's windproof all the way around there's these little mini things aren't so
you've got to have a wind deflector I do have one I just I forget all the time to
bring it so that's I got the foil and I just made one it made a huge difference just got up to
temperature immediately I put the foil around it oops wind just uh sucks the life
out of the flame in the heat oh I'm making a mess oh my mouth is watering and he's had his so he doesn't get it we at
home we don't eat at the same time at all ever it's a family thing he he eats by himself with
with Bruno they have their their D we have ours so you can't have any of this it's all got
onions in and stuff like it's all toxic to him he's fine he's had his diet for the
night and he you know he is on a diet because he's older now oh that's good
oh you know what I need tomato ketchup well I might as well put more on
what am I doing what am I going to do with the tomato ketchup that's
left over I wasn't thinking straight Camp brain one two perfect let's put that flame out and check this out in the
rain perfect cheeseburgers I can't if I don't put my face in the camera
doesn't focus on them perfect cheeseburgers yum excuse the Hat okay Bon Appetit everybody I need this oh wow I think this is the best
burger I've done out here yet wow just oh um wow that's so good I knew my other beer this is casell's again it's
a double cream milk stout this is a proper beer it's from New Zealand wow this is 8.1 percent lovely beer I love Stouts oh yeah caramel cheers everybody oh that's delicious comes the rain heavier um you know what it is I switched to a different type of burger and there's so much better and that combination of cheese
onion and tomato ketchup you know burgers they're a complete meal
they're a complete food they really are I own these Burgers today thank you so good so to those who are worried that I was going to stop doing real food it's never going to happen don't worry
about it I'm always going to have real food just occasionally I'm gonna
try these MREs just to mix it up wow what a great evening I'm bone dry really well the only reason I'm getting
wet is doing the camera pardon me if it wasn't for filming once I got the
top up there was no reason to go outside it again gosh I might have eaten those Burgers too quickly I mean look at it look at my shelter it
is it's not going anywhere it's so solid and we've had some gusts of wind before there's
nothing moved and the fact that this pole is here double guide it's keeping the ridge oh and what
I've done at the back of the tent I don't know if you can see it there's a stick at the back I found
a stick I've stood it upright but I've attached the guide to that so I've lifted the back up
slightly you can see it's not on the tent anymore and that's adding some stability at the back it's
lifted it so I'm getting this perfect A-frame like when I'm camping in the snow I'm sorry
if I'm shouting it's just this rain is so loud all right everyone I'm going to clean up a bit he's where are you Brucey oh there you are he's
hunkered down in the uh in the the part the what do you call them the ferns he loves it
down there um he knows this spot very well and he's looking for goats he's the thing about
lying under the top is he loses his hearing so he can't hear what's going on he's just gone
past he can't hear any animals or anything else so he prefers to lie outside of the top in
the rain He makes himself a little warm nest a bed I don't know if you can see him and
in the ferns and he just watches alert he won't come in until it's
time for bed he doesn't care he loves this spot it's his safe spot he
knows this spot very well we only live 10 minutes away so he knows it very well
right I'll bring you back for cigar time ah welcome back everybody down okay so cigar time I'm
gonna put hot chocolate on I'm also getting my beer at the same time
hot chocolate and beer cannot go wrong um now the question is what
have I done with my lighter oh thanks Bruce sorry about this okay found it I hope the microphone is
picking this up it is loud all right we're good cigar so today we've got a Monte Cristo number four yum now people have commented before that
Bruce doesn't like scar smoke and that's why it goes away it's not you'll notice
he goes away whenever I start talking it's nothing to do with that if I had food right
here he wouldn't care about scar smoke at all not much phases him to be honest the
only thing Bruce doesn't like is gun gunfire and thunder those sorts of things
auditory stuff he gets pretty freaked out in fact in this spot last time I think I was
here there was some gunfire some shooting and oh he was so scared oh he doesn't like possum sound either but even if I say
the word possum he doesn't like it and for those who are concerned about my health cheers everybody I only drink and have a smoke
at camping that's it I don't do this at home so please don't be concerned
these are this is a treat for me ah see he doesn't care about the smoke he's just
going nuts about the lights right so cigar time let's see ah first up all the thank yous I want to say thank you

into the Channel all of it so it all goes to the equipment camera equipment tents I've always got
new tents Tarts and more ordering stuff off Amazon um goes for treats for Bruce special food for
Bruce yeah we make the most of it honestly but it doesn't just go into some bank
account and stay there it gets spent on things for the channel so we
can keep doing this and it just makes it more worthwhile to do so
we really appreciate that thank you um so what's been going on oh so this video
is going to come out in a few weeks it's usually I do my videos Almost like a day um like a couple of days before
they're going to come out I just need to get my hot chocolate
out hang on yeah usually they come out a couple of days this time this is
going to come out a few weeks from now so maybe three weeks from now yeah three weeks
I'd say because there's another video that I've just done that hasn't come out yet and so this
news and my cigar time chat could be a little bit old old news so it'll be interesting to
see if I make any predictions or anything if any of them come true or what the state
of play is so saying all of that today in the states they just shot down the balloon now it is a Chinese balloon they've admitted it's theirs so I'll say the Chinese
blue they just shot it down other than that I know nothing
so it'll be interesting because this will now be three weeks
it'll be interesting to see what actually happened was it a spy
satellite or was it a weather satellite um to China protest about it do they get all uppity
and upset that they've been accused of something uh does Biden get grilled and
mocked for not acting sooner does this cause complete outrage uproar I mean
does it cause war with China I don't know I just don't know did China get a big ticking off who
knows haven't got a clue it'll be interesting to see in three weeks so you could say in all
the comments that didn't happen I honestly don't know what's gonna happen so that will
be fun but I tell you what wow F-22 Raptor I still think that's the best fighter
plane in the world I think it's better than the F-35 I know they're built for
different things but F-22 Raptor is wow such a weapon it really is an amazing machine
why they shot it with a missile the balloon I'm sure again this will all be questioned but why
didn't they use a bullet from the onboard Cannon now you might not have heard
that but that's Bruce barking either he saw something or he thinks he saw something he might have seen a goat
but he doesn't usually bark at Goats but anyway he's just warning them and warning
me that whatever it is he's seen something don't forget we have no Bears Lions or anything else
there's nothing dangerous no Predators whatsoever in New Zealand uh just people yeah F-22 Raptor
why didn't they use the cannon they've got a 20 millimeter cannon on board you know the cannon so
20 millimeter bullets why didn't they just shoot a couple of those into the balloon then just let it
float down slowly why did they shoot that missile to it now that's the last I saw of it the shot
the missile into it and it came plummeting down pretty fast it looked like um seems like a
waste of a 380 000 missile if you ask me when they could have just shot it with the cannon I
don't know I'm sure they did their assessment I don't know seems a bit weird anyway be interesting to see what the
outcome of that is ah we have boiled this heat exchange Kettle amazing it boils so
quickly so much faster than the traditional Transit kettle amazing what is it again fire
Maple I'll put a link to it I got it on Amazon the the heat exchanger technology I
wish tranja would adopt it underneath here this thing it just means
everything Cooks so much faster and that double that all blowing away okay anyway yeah so Chinese blue whatever I
don't know what's gonna happen be interesting China will probably say something along
the lines that America is overreacting or the world is overreacting I don't
think so gotta defend your airspace you can rest assured if this was an
American Balloon flying over China oh could you imagine the complaints
The Whining it would be epic epic so hypocrites and when I say China you know I always
have to say this I don't mean the Chinese people it's not them it's the CCP it's not the Chinese
people I know a lot of Chinese citizens and they're lovely and a lot of them want nothing to
do with the Communist party and would probably be quite happy without them so Brucey what were
you barking at so anyway that's what I mean so TV things I've been watching
what's back mayor of Kingstown is back um that's on Prime brilliant really
brilliant I love that mayor of Kingstown um Happy Valley this is a British cop show
but for it to make sense you've got to watch it from the first season first episode to really
understand I think if you're American you might struggle with the accent it's a northern
England accent could be a bit tough for you some of their sayings and expressions but I would recommend it you know
Britain does superb dramas really does cop shows some of the best um very
very good so Happy Valley it's very good um oh on Netflix welcome to wrexham so welcome
to rexham is uh it's about wrexham Football Club again in the UK it's in Wales actually and um it's
a struggling Club in a very low League it's not in the top League or the second league or the third
League it's like fourth or fifth League anyway um it came to news because it was sort of for sale and Ryan Reynolds and this other like you
know what I don't know who this other guy is that partnered with him someone from La he's
an actor he's been in something I've never heard of it and everyone I speak to has never heard
of it I think he's only known in the US anyway they uh they bought the club wrexham they invested
loads of money they've got lots of sponsorship and it's the story of them trying to then build
this wrexham franchise up into a proper good team that then climbs the ladder anyway it's a
brilliant show so please watch that welcome to rexham it's great and it shows a great crowd great
bunch of people and it shows the sport at its best um and the passion about football and how
passionate people are about it or soccer and in the states so welcome to wrexham and
another show on Apple TV is shrinking just come out very good very funny I like it it's good but the one that we've all been waiting for comes
out on Prime on February the 10th so I guess by the time this video comes out we'll already
have been out is second season of Clarkson's Farm now personally speaking as far as I'm
concerned Clarkson's Farm is the best TV show that there is and has been for
a few years if you like Clarkson see it's quite happily sitting here now sat is
barking he's done his thing he's run his dinner now he's here preening himself
sitting here under the top quite happy if you like Jeremy Clarkson then
you will love parkson's Farm he got into a bit of trouble lately regarding Meghan Markle of course he did God
I'm sick to death of that couple I really am I'm sorry but if you're a supporter of them
that's fine you can love them all you want this is just my personal opinion um actually you know
what I don't actually care about Meghan Markle I thought I don't really know her I couldn't
care less she means nothing to me Harry though look as someone from England um that grew up with the royal family and
Princess Diana and going through all of that oh I just feel that Harry is just he's
delusional there's something wrong with him you know he's had this regressive
therapy and it's triggered all this stuff in him and you know who pushed him to
have that therapy don't you Meghan Markle and so many of the stories in his book
are fake they're just lies either he is misremembering because the details are so wrong
like it's been proven on so many of them that he wasn't even where he said he was when he said
he was like his grandmother's funeral but when he found out the grandmother died he was on
a skiing holiday and he said he was there so a lot of it is totaled BS don't get
suckered into it don't get suckered into what he says he's just trying to
do one thing and she's trying to do one thing and that's get as much attention
and make as much money as possible and if necessary bring down the royal family to
do it he'd probably rather not bring it down but she said to him we can be billionaires so
we should just be billionaires let's do what we can to be billionaires and if that means
taking down the royal family let's do it I consider him a traitor I mean he honestly he is
not welcome back in the UK he is so dislike there I don't think there's any Security in the world
that could be bothered to protect him the police won't so yeah he's made his bed and boohoo poor
little rich prince really why should we feel sorry for him he's worth like what 100 million
dollars already plus all the money he got from being a royal all the entitlement everyone just
bending over backwards for him Elton John saying here's my jet use it whenever you want I'll boohoo
poor Prince Harry said such a tough life William used to bully me boohoo get over it God makes me
vomit he really does hopefully that's my only rant anyway yeah Clarkson said something
not very nice about Meghan Markle and he got in trouble for it and so
hopefully that's over and done with now the next topic again don't forget this is three
weeks later than when I'm talking about it so who knows what's happening between so don't jump
on the comments go no no no no this has happened so this is three weeks ago um for you now watching this video it's three
weeks ago maybe even longer because people don't watch this straight away so it could be six months
before lineup chat gbt GPT if you don't know what that is Google it it's an artificial intelligence
engine that um is designed and programmed to capture information from around the world the
internet and news sources and everything else and then uses not official engine and artificial
engine and algorithm to create responses to questions anyway it's been put through the ringer
because it seems to be very very left wing now I don't know if that's actually true I don't
know if it's that it's a very left wing or if it's that the majority of the media and information that's available on the web
is very left wing and I mean Ultra left it's not that intelligent it's artificial
intelligence but it's not that intelligent to be honest it's if it can be manipulated that
easily and it just sides with the majority of views out there then um and it doesn't even try
and think in the minority then yeah clearly it's got some issues and they've got to iron
those out but um I would be very wary of believing any of the hype about it right
now it's just too early it's still in beta but people are playing with it going oh it's left
wing I don't know that it is I think it's just flawed it's a flawed product and it's got a lot
of work still required on it that's what I think I don't think there's some giant left-wing
conspiracy with the chat GPT and the programmers I think it's just a flawed product and I think
that the developers of it I haven't mastered it yet and it's so early and um yeah just hope that
that thing has nothing to do with driving your car I put a question to it if you're driving along and
um a young girl runs out into the middle of the road in front of you do you a swerve to avoid
the young girl knowing you're going to hit a mother pushing a pram with a baby in it or do you
see you see that there's a mother with a pram and make the decision to just try and break and maybe
hit the goal and anyway the engine chat GPT came back and said morally blah blah blah the right
thing to do would be to save the girl what kill the mother and the baby but that's what it said so
can you imagine this artificial intelligence when you've written this full self-drive Vehicles like
the Teslas or whatever it makes those decisions the ethical thing would be to save the girl
just kill the other person that's what it does of course the correct answer should be little
girl shouldn't be running across the road the reason I asked it that question was real life
experience of a little girl running out in front of my car and I had to Swerve to avoid it and I
headed straight towards a bus lane of passengers queuing for the bus I managed
to miss them as well but oh boy um New Zealand you know what I've just
realized is more and more companies don't ship to New Zealand you know why because the
pre the government labor government under Jacinda ardern instigated a rule where overseas
companies now had to collect GST that's the sale of tax before stuff is shipped to New Zealand
so most of the companies just said no forget that we're not doing that nowhere else makes
us do that so we just won't ship to New Zealand so now it's even harder to get things in New
Zealand because of what they've done genius move so if you live here then you'll then you
wonder why won't people send stuff here that's why um what's coming up oh Brandon's
18th birthday is coming up um and he and I so his birthday's on the 9th of
Feb but my birthday's on the 17th and he wanted to go out with me uh to celebrate his 18th go
drinking so we're going to do that in Auckland we're going up on the 18th into Auckland uh
with my nephew Luke and yep Sam Brandon uh we're gonna go and hit the bars and we've got matching
shirts and we're gonna have a great evening so I'm looking forward to that that would be good fun
that's happening February the 18th so that will have already happened by the time this video comes
out hopefully we didn't get arrested or anything another question I'm getting is um actually
what I'll do is I'll answer this in Reverse so again we're coming to several countries
myself Ann and Brandon coming to Singapore um coming to the UK Spain and then Anna myself
for coming to the us and this is all happening uh uh April May so sign up for the mailing list
I'll put the link on the screen somewhere here there wherever go to the website and key
in your email address and sign up to get a notification of when we're going to do
our meet and greets at whatever bar Pub on whatever evening it's also a great way to get
notified of when new videos come out as well I'm really looking forward to meeting people and
so I think in the U.S in the UK I think we'll be somewhere in Essex for a bit London and we'll be
going up north near Manchester I think ormskirk and then in the U.S because we're time constrained
and this is all we could do and we're seeing friends we're in New York la and Las Vegas so
hopefully we'll see some people there it'll be great fun and that leads me to the next question
people people have been asking me who's looking after Bruce and Bruno while we're away well we
will have house sitters for a while but after that um they're going to the boarding kennels
that we know they Bruce has been going to for years and she's lovely the lady who runs
it he gets to run around he gets to play and this time he'll be with Bruno as well so
they'll be in the same heated little pen their own little room but it's got a
field and she really looks after them and he wags his towel and he pulls the lead
to get in there so he has a great time when he's there gets the Bay play it's play time
the whole time so that's what's happening um and Bruno won't mind because he'll
be with with Bruce other than that hi chat nothing too outrageous I
think Harry and Megan was the most and look no politics oh no I did I mentioned
about the labor government making that decision about New Zealand other than that no politics and
the Chinese balloon okay they're with politics unavoidable sorry can't help it it's so loud I think I've just shouted my
entire way through cigar time but it's just because a rain on the top is so loud if you've never experienced it rain in a tent
it's deafening like you need earplugs almost and this is just getting heavier
and heavier I don't know if you can see raindrops in front of the camera or not anyway thanks again everyone for
coming and kick back enjoy the rest of my beer and my hot chocolate and
my cigar and bring you back for bedtime cheers everyone foreign welcome back everybody it's bedtime all tucked
in it got actually pretty chilly uh towards the end there and uh I ended up putting on my hoodie
on top of my raincoat so underneath my raincoat um and then sitting inside
the tent with the chair inside because the temperature
suddenly dropped um Bruce is in hey juicy he's on his bed he is soaking wet you
can see I've dried him with the towel the special microfiber towel really sucked it up so he'll
start dreaming himself soon when he realizes it's bedtime but he's tired he's worn himself
out look at him he's absolutely worn himself out he's been running around like crazy absolute
Nutter let me just adjust this hold on um hold on where is it there it is yeah so that was a brilliant meal oh those burgers
were fantastic beers were fantastic I had some biscuits afterwards oh it was lovely
brilliant cigar this has been a fantastic evening as you can probably hear it's
steady rain I think the worst of it is done but it's just it's raining Non-Stop and the drops always seem louder because we're
under the trees so we're under the pine trees this is meant to go on until just early
morning like this but the worst of it has done it really excuse me it really chucked
down at one point when we were on camera um so in here so I've got the door open
a bit I've got the outer door closed thank you and connected to the peg and I've got my pack sitting on my uh
my chair out there and all my food here um but even with this full mesh
liner so everything in here is mesh the entire inner is just mesh it's pretty
warm in here it's in fact it's very warm too warm I got a feeling I'm gonna be pushing
this this quilt off all through the night and Bruce is very warm under greasy oh
you're so tired he's gonna have a great sleep well he's really worn himself out can't
believe how tired he is his eyes are droopy lovely isn't that tongue sticking out
for things like kisses so I'll probably take that towel off him once it dries out
a bit I just don't want to get my quilt wet so yeah here's what it is right everyone
unless something major happens in the middle of night which I doubt it will
oh I'll bring you back in the morning thanks again for coming everybody see you
in the morning good night good night Breezy not everybody uh welcome back well it's about 20
minutes later and there was just this loud thud and something hitting hitting the
tent anyway it's the stick that I set up looks like the peg came out the ground um so the question is can I be bothered to
go and fix it it was creating the ridge so that's Fallen um which means the top is now instead of up
it's down which means the water will just be coming out the back here but the rain has died
right down so I don't think it's a big deal so I'm just gonna leave it I'm not gonna go out there
and deal with that now no there's nowhere that for it to pull the water will all just run off because
it's higher at that end so I'm just gonna leave it yeah should have double pegged up because
it was hard ground and the peg obviously wasn't improperly oh well you live and learn
all right see you in the morning everyone morning everyone morning oh I slept in oh good morning yep slept in oh it was comfy on everything it rained until oh
only so like an hour ago and now the sun's out ah comfy night but boy did that
rain get heavy in the night and I had to get up and get out and fix that
pole because it was annoying me I couldn't sleep knowing it was like that all right I've
got to let Bruce Lee out let him out to pee hang on wait wait wait what a lovely morning right gotta get up get coffee on bring it back welcome back everybody It's a beautiful morning sun is shining the cicadas are making tons of noise as you
can probably hear Bruce wants his breakfast oh and everything is all over the place no
need for the camera umbrella this morning these are my perfect sort of camps where it Chucks
down at the night and in the morning it's bone dry and sunny because I tell you when I when I went
out there to fix that stick sorry for the ass shot when I went out there to
fix that stick it was grim this top sheds water so well some pine needles on it though Okay so let's get Bruce's breakfast done because
I know he's starving because we slept in oh right we see hold on hold on be
patient sit sit good boy just wait um okay going in ah okay and I
have got to get a coffee on and get my breakfast going so let's get the coffee on first man I can't believe how stunning the morning is okay let's try not to have any mishaps
this morning you know what I need to do is with these cans is just lift
the table up so it's level oh because that's why it felt
last night when I was cooking so it might behave a bit better this time
okay an observation about this Cheapo burner alcohol burner is it burns way too fast way too fast ah now what have I done with my lighter hmm oh I can't remember where I've put it that's not good I usually keep it in my ouch pouch hmm what did you do with it last night Just Talk Amongst yourselves while I try and
work out what on Earth I've done with my lighter and I have no idea what I've done with it ah I
think I put it in my my rain jacket that's why yeah I did oh no I didn't okay I have no idea what I've done with my lighter now you see with my other chair I
have pockets that I always put it in okay so no lighter so I'm
gonna have to use matches which I also keep in my Arch pouch I'm gonna
find the lighter obviously I've just put it somewhere
and I can't remember where and usually I have two lighters in my Arch pouch but the gas just run out in one of
them so I need to go and buy more okay so I might as well keep those out because I'm gonna need to do that again all right so just the one coffee just needs enough water for
that there's no point putting too much water in because then you're just wasting fuel oh that was a great evening I hope you all
enjoyed that with the sound of the rain because I really loved it man
did it Chuck down at one point six now this morning I'm doing something different well actually it's not that
different but I'm having pancakes oh there's my lighter I'm
doing pancakes with maple syrup obviously but I've got Jam as well and blueberries
so it's sort of gourmet pancakes for me and these are buttermilk pancakes thank you yep nailed it okay now this doesn't take long to boil at all ah let me bring you in a bit closer yeah so last night I slept really
well so well but yeah I slept in but when the stick fell behind the
tent I was like oh God do I get up but I knew if I didn't and actually
it was a good job I did because in the middle of the night and the reason
that everything's suddenly so dry pretty dry actually there's hardly any moisture
on the top at all through the night we had some massive gusts of wind come through really
loud if you've never been in Forest before when huge gusts of wind come through you hear them
on the tops of the trees wow it was so loud yeah and that's what straight everything off
so I'm glad I secured it because the top is Bulletproof the way it is I mean it can
take a hell of a beating and it's so secure um I could raise it up again
now if I wanted to in fact I could just peel it back all together if
I wanted to but it's providing a nice shade and there's still debris falling
from these these trees down I can hear sizzling yep because
I don't want it scalding hot so as I said this this fire Maple
kettle it just boils so quickly all right now let me put that out and then I'm going to top it up with the rest of my fuel so I've got just enough
fuel I think to cook these pancakes but man this thing Burns through the the
fuel fast much faster than the changer people ask if there's stuff for Bruce
in my ouch pouch yeah there is actually yep it's like doggy kit it's basic stuff
there's also a uh what you call it um oh I can't think straight so uh strapping in case
he he sprains his ankle or something and there's blood clot material in there as well and needle of
thread so I can stitch him up if he does something really silly but you get dog medical kits they're
pretty common here because people go pig hunting with their dogs they have
what they call pig dogs here so that's quite common to have those and they
carry with them all sorts of stuff no Bruce nope don't want you near the plane I have to use
a different sort of no to him oh and I've got bacon and Bruce will have some bacon as well I'm going to Chuck all this on because it's streaky bacon and
this goes turns into nothing once it's uh all the fat rendered off it okay I've got blueberries and I've got Jam some raspberry jam for the pancake all right so take your spork the Gerber tour you take your spatula you
interlock them where is it uh what am I doing so it's like that like that oh yeah you interlock
them and they're your tongs pretty nifty huh and the set weighs absolutely nothing so it's a great idea all right and it comes with this I mean this
thing's a bit of a bit stupid but it's a potato peeler bottle opener a little knife like
a parcel opening I think trouble is your chances of losing this it's black and without
it none of the pieces stick together properly and you've got a spoon so
you've got a spoon and a spork but no Cutting Edge yeah it's because they obviously don't
want you putting Cutting Edge in your mouth so they just couldn't think of it but spoon and a spork I would rather just have had a knife in here the serrated edge but you know what
they're probably figuring is that well I don't know what they were
thinking they're probably thinking you're only going to be having rehydrated
meals but then why would you need tongs someone at Gerber just didn't really think it through
and they've obviously invested in this and that's the way they've left
it that you don't need a knife a lot of these companies honestly you just you
just wonder what on Earth were you thinking you've got it so close to perfect and you wonder who they're using to Market
who they're using to test these products who are these expert campers that they're using say oh you don't need a knife I never
use a knife everyone carries a knife that's not strictly true
not everyone carries a knife and sometimes you don't want to use your
your cutting knife your proper knife fuck I haven't bought a knife with me on this
I've got my little folding Leatherman knife tiny little thing which is very sharp
I wouldn't use that for eating food so yeah you just wonder what were you thinking and for those who are asking I'm still looking
I'm still trying to work out how to get these insulated titanium mugs and then get my logo
on quite difficult because they are brilliant and you they sort of burn it on with a laser on
the titanium so I'll work it out I'll persevere you know what I might do
is if I get a load of them rather than sell them as a merch maybe
give them away to YouTube members who have been on the channel for a certain
period of time it's like if you've been a member for say six months then get a mug for
you know a year something like that we'll see I don't know how easy that is to do either and I'm in New Zealand so shipping anywhere
in the world is a bit of a nightmare stuff tends to go missing from New Zealand on
route a shocking example of this is my son Brandon he did the SATs Before Christmas you
know to look at going into college in the states and so you have to do SAT
so they host them so they do them here anyway we've been looking and looking waiting
for the results and still hasn't shown up so Anne my wife contacted the College Board in
the states and they opened an investigation and then they replied a bit later
we've we've searched and it appears that that group to the same group that Brandon's
was in the tracking number the package is lost may be destroyed sorry here's a refund
we suggest you set the SATs again well he can't now you can't the
timing doesn't work he's not here oh do you know how frustrating that is and you know what we didn't get any apology
from New Zealand the people who hosted it we paid we had to so Anne and brown had to drive four
hours stay the night in Christchurch to do this people had flown down from Auckland to do
it and they've lost it I don't know if they had a tracking number it doesn't look like they
bothered looks like they just sent it normal post can you believe that to save money
they didn't do direct tracking Courier who does who who behaves like that with
kids futures after all the work they've done and then to nonchalantly go
oh never mind just hit it again this and it's months you know this is what too
much so it would be three four five months so you'd have to study it all again to remember it to
top it all up not acceptable it really isn't so if there's anyone watching who knows anyone on the
College Board that deals with this sort of stuff say to them it's not fair and that they deserve an assessment based on work
done it's just it's just uh anyway there you go that wasn't a rant that's just me
disappointed in people who do their jobs it's a kind of a saying of
mine is that oh just fire them in banking we we honestly didn't have much
tolerance for stupidity and people being crap at their jobs because it could
cost millions and I've seen it happen so there's a very low tolerance for any kinds
of mistakes when you're in investment banking very low you might get away with making
a mistake once big mistake but never again and and to be honest
if it's a big mistake I don't even think you'd get away with it once that
would be the end of your job your career okay this bacon is sizzling away nicely as much as I love this pan it's too thick it's
too thick as a camping pan and yet it's designed as a camping pan but it's I think it was actually
designed to be used on gas burner high BTU burner it doesn't work very well on anything else alcohol
whatever it just doesn't get up to temperature quickly enough so you end up using a load of
fuel but the transure patterns are just too too small basically so I'm still on the hunt for a
camping pan I mean this thing weighs a ton as well I'm still on the hunt for a camping pan with a
foldable handle that's lightweight thin aluminum yeah if anyone knows of one please let me know okay I'll bring you back when the bacon is
done and we're ready to put the pancake on okay Bacon's ready and that just that used up such a lot of fuel oh that's not stable oh yum let me ditch some of this fat but keep enough to cook on okay so now I've
got to Top This up yet again with the last of what I've got I had to improvise
and make and use my um foil again just because it was really not cooking properly I think this is the boundless voyage
stove honestly don't bother with it it's it's it's just cups it burns
through the fuel way too fast for the heat that it's giving out and
it's just not giving out enough Heat okay let's get the pancake on I'd say the transa is a much better deal
also don't go with a heavy pan okay now I'm not that hungry this morning not
as hungry as usual I've got so much bacon I'm going with a smaller pancake oh let's get some of these blueberries in here how many to put in has anyone seen that film
casino with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci the order is a blueberry muffin and got angry
that the blueberries weren't even in all of the muffins because mates muffin didn't have
enough blueberries in so he called the chef and he said I want every I want every muffin
to have the exact equal amount of blueberries okay so let's put some in here I'm
not going to say his name because then he'll come running over for it straight away foreign a little bed I can't really show it to you because he'll he'll
move the second I do that like he knows anyway um he's down in the ferns oh it's beautiful this shouldn't take long and hopefully we can do the flip you see Brucey
looking at the Shadows what are you doing down there Brucie you see he's made himself a
little bed look at that he's dug it all out that's where he was lying last night while we
were chit chatting that's what he was doing well that's enough he knows he's on
film and he's cool but he loves Shadows anyway now this is your bacon Bruce
but you're gonna have to wait no wind up Brucey okay where are we at with this and we near a flip we're near we are near oh I hope I've got enough fuel to finish this now the wind's picked up it's carrying
the heat away from the pan we will see I don't have enough fuel for
another copy though oh well one and done okay I think I can risk a flip oh no I can't oh this stupid pan it's so thick I don't know why I persevere with this
pound I really don't just because it's got a folding handle and it's big what is
it it's the GSI look don't get me wrong if you've got if you're camping and you're using
like one of those gas butane cookers that I use usually when I'm car camping hey great pan
solid it's pretty much non-stick it's got a great coating can handle anything and I've had
this thing I've had this thing on the top of the mountain cooking a rack of lamb in it on a fire
it's brilliant for heavy duty stuff but it's heavy and it uses a lot you need a lot of heat
source to get this thing working properly so it's just it's just such a vast space to eat
so much surface area and it's such a thick pan so yeah the GSI camping pan I recommend it for
camping when you've got unlimited Fuel and you've got a butane burner but not alcohol stirred stoves
it just doesn't work and I've tried to use this on the transa doesn't work either it fits but it
just doesn't get up to temperature it takes so long that it's just not worth it but yeah I think
it's a GSI so if you're camping with butane go for it okay that's got to be flip time yeah because
the blueberries are starting to burst here we go oh no oh did I get it I got
it I got it I rescued it did I just gonna flip this bit over a bit come on sort of oh don't be sure yes I've saved it I saved it oh it doesn't quite Bruce what are
you doing over there that doesn't quite warrant a great success but
or nailed it but I did Rescue It oh and it it smells fantastic now it's sizzling away nicely listen to that so how come the pan is suddenly what can the
heat is suddenly working so well I don't know I just can't get my head around this boundless
voice because I don't think I'll use this again it was a kind of cool Contraption I took it up to
the tops last time as well and it was so unstable I had to use it on this titanium Pam I think
I'm going to switch back to using my tranja the full thing because it's windproof it's very
very stable it's light it's just it's just bulky in your pack you know which is kind of irritating
it takes up that much space versus that much space um but I'm switching back to the tarantia
I've decided it's it's a good product okay so while this is still hot what I
might do is pour my maple syrup on now so that gets hot too and put my jam on as well because I
don't want that going on there cold sucking all the heat out so
while I've got some heat coming up through the pancake I'm gonna heat that jam up so everything goes into my plate hot I think we're good to go so this is going to look
a bit of a mess now that I've done this in fact what I'm going to do is
I'm going to fold the pancake over tongues to the rescue again oh my god I've got to
remember how you do this yeah so let's fold the pancake over without spilling it all over myself
I might have enough fuel to boil another water nope I blew it blew it I messed it
up oh no I've turned it into mulch have I no actually you know what there's a
semblance of a pancake there just slightly okay this is not the most attractive
thing I've ever made but then anyone who's used to my channel knows this let
me show you what this looks like oh gosh sat in Focus so what we got is a beautiful
pancake with strawberry jam maple syrup and bacon and lashings of maple syrup I
should say it's still going to taste Epic okay Bruce do you want your bacon Bruce what's
this what's over here what's that take your bacon oh I know what you were doing over there you
were looking for that bacon fat cheeky cheeky boy okay let's do this am I in
focus yep I am okay all right a bit of jam bit of Pancakes
hmm or the jam it's hot wow hmm heat your jam up definitely maybe heat your jam up in the microwave if you're
doing this at home and your maple syrup and then put it all on top of the pancake once it's on
your plate rather than do it all in the pan now what I want to do is see if I can boil another kettle of water put that there for a sec all right mind out
Bruce go away don't you knocking this all over I have the time to go away because his tail when
he turns oh God you know dogs in their tails okay just enough for one coffee
let's see if this works foreign I'm not holding out much hope but it would be nice to get
one more out of that fuel oh yeah if worse came to worst I do
have more fuel in the car in the truck and that's just
park 10 minutes down there but as you saw from that from the hill yesterday I will Bruce leave the fat leave it enough you'll be sick cheeky hmm lay down you've had enough
Bruce you're such a greedy gut and lie down you probably need some water
now that you've done all that Lucy do you want water do you want so salty bacon yeah well it does hmm the jam I've got that idea from a friend Xi'an in London she said
that they put jam on their waffles in Norway Norwegian waffles and
they do a different type of waffle and it really is nice I guess the French use Jam as well in the crates a bit in America I don't know it's usually
just maple syrup and you put butter on I'm not a big fan of butter on
pancakes to be honest all waffles it's never I don't know why
just doesn't do anything for me oh this is so good oh still burning we'll see if it gets hot I have a lot more confidence in this
because of the heat exchanger you know what jet ball jetboil do a frying pan I think with a
heat exchanger on the bottom of it I think they do that's what I need to find I need to find
but it's got to be big big enough to fit two burgers not these piddly little things like these
little steaks you see no no I want big he said so I need to find that and a heat
exchanger would make a lot of sense so if anyone knows about a decent sized
frying pan with a heat exchanger on it for camping then I'm all for it I'd order that thing in a heartbeat
as usual I order absolutely everything hardly anything is sent or given to me
because I don't want to give a biased opinion it's boiling it did it wow way to go heat exchange a kettle it's official
this is the best Kettle I've ever had way better I've got two
different size Challenger kettles and they're very light as well but
they're just normal and this thing this fire Maple Kettle autumn I'll
put a link to it I got it on Amazon get this kettle it is so fast it saves you
so much fuel it's not that heavy at all there are some things I don't like about it that
they probably need to adjust I might write to them just say look why don't you change this change
this got this stupid flipping flap thing here on the lid is pointless just put a solid one up and
make the lid so it actually sticks in properly I've had to stick some tape on it to hold
it there so it doesn't fall when you do that and maybe move the spout down a little bit but in terms of Fuel and speed oh you see in winter when everything takes longer
and the water is ice cold that's going to be a godsend in winter
because it's just going to boil so quickly yeah fire maple good product Heat exchangers all companies
should use them but offer that option so what it does is it increases the
surface area that the flame touches by I don't know threefold
something like that something crazy and it traps that heat inside that little area
and then as the heat escapes through the sides it heats the heat exchangers that then transfer
that heat straight up into the into the pan that's why it Cooks everything boils
and cooked so quickly on those things hmm food leave it stop it you're gonna
make yourself sick come on Bruce go on away good boy don't go back there good boy um that was very successful really was how much fuel have I got left there's a tiny bit
left at the bottom it's probably enough in there to cook another one of these kettles but it is
Tiny and that's the other thing is you can't store fuel in this boundless voyage titanium
cooker because it doesn't have a sealable lid titanium is a great conductor
it gets cold really quickly just it just burns too hot too fast and uses it
all up see I can hold that already if this was the um transaction then I couldn't do that because
it's brass but I don't know what the problem with it is why it's burning why it's giving off so
much flame and using up so much fuel compared to the transo I guess what it is is these outer holes
as well as these inner that's just wrong I can see why they've done it because they thought oh cook
quicker but no you're just wasting a ton of fuel um for no reason you want it to
burn longer not short and sharp so they've just put all these holes
around the outside that don't add up the holes on the inside is all you
need and you you get it to bloom this just is overkill and there's no
way there's no screw you can't screw a lid on like you can with the transa so
it's it's a funny little package it's okay I can't really recommend it it's too unstable that platform is Tiny these
three legs that's just not enough so it really wants to fall over all the time when
you put anything on it see three is not right it says it's also a little twig stove you
couldn't fit anything in that maybe a few tiny Twigs but then what's the point
you'd be trying to feed it constantly so I thought I really liked it at first but
then it's just become a bit of a pain to use I've got another one that does the
same thing that's way more stable and more simple and windproof so that one boundless voyage mini
stove I'd say is a bit of a fail it's just too finicky too much messing around this I don't think is any use fail on that just not worth the money I've got an aluminum one that's just
way more simple in fact lighter than this or same weight maybe but way more
stable and you just put your transa in it Transit burner I think is still the best in fact
I've seen videos where they've done side-by-side comparisons on boil times and the transa always
comes out right near the top so for what it is how rugged it is and the fact you've got a simmer
ring with it and you can store fuel in it which is crucial being able to put the lid on and
store the fuel in it um it's a better product see now I've got to pour this fuel back out or
just Burn It Off maybe I'll just turn that off because it's a tiny tiny drop right that breakfast was a huge success uh you can't see the flame but it is lit it's a tiny tiny bit of Meth at the bottom okay now what I might do everyone is because
it's such a beautiful morning take you up to the top of this hill which is five minutes
up here take my coffee there's a little Hut that my neighbors built up here stand on there
and look at this View and you won't believe it so let's do that so we're gonna go up the
hill there's camp look at that awesome you can see the stick at the back there and this is
where we're going up there it's pretty vertical but it's worth it for the view and I got my coffee and I'm on tiptoe this is my uh one of my areas
that I hike in all the time but it is steep okay bring it
back at the top oh that was steep okay almost there you won't believe this View okay so my neighbors built this
little Hut a few years ago but they've never stayed in it maybe I should come in there and they've not maintained
it at all it was clearing I hope it's not so overgrown
you can't see The View look at this that there is the Marlborough
sounds in all its Glory how beautiful is that I'm very lucky
very blessed very lucky to camp in such beautiful places like this and New Zealand is
spectacularly beautiful if you're coming to New Zealand and you want to see one of the most
beautiful parts of it it's the marble sounds absolutely stunning surrounded by Hills
look at all the cobwebs on the cabin I don't know yeah and they've never used
it seems a shame it's a great little thing perfect for coffees stuff
like that you've never seen yeah Harbor sounds one last look
before we go back to camp spectacular I hope you'll like that actually you
know what I might have my coffee here I might sit here I can't sit on the edge of
the deck but I can sit here and just have my coffee looking
at that and then bring you back what do you think Brucie
should we have our coffee here yeah you love it up here thank you yeah I'm
gonna do that so I'll bring you back at camp so I've camped in this spot loads of times I've
camped here on this spot here but a huge storm came through like massive storm see all the debris
all the branches down these widowmakers well a lot of these trees are dead these Pines
you can see the snap they've got no leaves on like these two here these are dead so anything could happen if you were
camping here and I just looked up and looked at that massive Branch up
there that snaps off the top off the top of a tree I don't know if
you can make it out lengthways there that is resting on some branches I mean one
huge gust of wind and that thing's gonna fall so just you know sometimes not safe to camp
near Pines um and if they're dead Pines then no you don't want to be anywhere near them
like these the tops will just snap and fall like no these are all snapped so that's the top of this massive one here it's not fallen
and that's all of the debris spread out see we're here so imagine
if that landed on your tent it could pancake you it's not
just that look at this one here that's fallen off the top this thing so this
isn't growing out of the ground this huge huge piece here huge there's snap off the top
up there Fallen straight down I mean that would kill you that's solid how thick is it I mean
that's so heavy that's not gonna anyway but if that landed on your tent you'd just be dead so
we always check see there's more of them here it's a shame because I really liked this spot
but since the trees have died it's too risky you need to fill some of those you have to
you'd have to chop down the jet the dead trees before you can camp there again and
it's safe but yeah the Pines are just dying I don't know why I mean they're
not native to New Zealand so certain conditions kill them off look
how steep this is I don't know if the camera is doing any justice but it's
really easy this is a 45 degree angle okay you know what I'm going to turn the camera
off and bring it back at Camp because I'm slipping all over the place come on all right
we're at the bottom but that is steep up there yeah so let me give you a close-up
of what happened last night you see I checked before I came to and there's
it's all living stuff and there's no big branches above nothing like that and all these are alive
and those to be healthy yes what happened this this hole that I set up here just slipped and fell
down so it wasn't taught Bruce come here I know where you're going You're Going To My Pan leave
it yeah but look at that setup isn't it awesome it was perfect everything drank all the
water drained off the uh off the side here but look how rigid the tarp
is that's what you want a nice basically stiff top that's
you know what you're talking about all right everyone enough tarp talk
I'll bring you back for packing up all right welcome back everybody time to pack up hello Brucey I know it's time to go home
so as usual I will Fast Forward from now foreign to dismantle everything else I'll tell you what the uh the tart did a great job what a setup wasn't it Brucey so start with the pole someone just asked me I just saw a comment how long are my guy lines I think
I made them three meters long uh uh that's a meter yeah
so yeah three meters long and I've found that that's been perfect
for pretty much every situation um you might want to make them longer
I don't know but you want to give yourselves options so don't make them
too short because you'll regret it also you can join them up as well so
if you have enough of them and you need to put in a really long guideline then
yeah you can just join them all together which makes it a very flexible system and
you don't need to know anything about knots to do it either foreign the pole is a win I'm telling you so this is a
green elephant two and a half meter tall Pole it weighs I don't know what 400 grams
maybe 500 grams but it's worth it because it just gives you options when you get
to Camp that you wouldn't have otherwise foreign and with one pole as you'll
have seen on my last video on my last video I just have that one pole and I
didn't have I didn't tie off to any trees at all I just staked it into the ground
instead yeah and with that one pole I managed to have a proper tarp set up I used the
strength of the tent really to hold the top at the back in place and just used a couple of guys
and pegged it down so I proved that it worked so for all those who camping conditions where there's no trees yep it works also you don't
have to worry about the the wind so much because you'll see in that video it was
very windy so that would be the video before this it was very windy and did not budge at all
because when you use two guys on the pole very very solid and if you
put them at 45 degree angles to the pole it's yeah perfect I mean I'm lucky I camp in a lot of places
with trees but I think in Winter Maybe where I want to go where there
is snow I actually might start just taking the pole so I don't have to secure
the front also because I'm doing YouTube uh it's different to normal camping
because for YouTube I'm trying to get the camera to have a good shot good view of me and the camp so I have to think about those things
you don't have to think about those when you're just doing normal camping and you're not filming
it for YouTube so it's a lot more technical more consideration goes into camping on YouTube
than it does normally because I see people get criticized saying oh I wouldn't have done that in
account but why'd you put the tarp that way that's the stupid way and you should have yourself
completely covered and people just don't get it but it's for YouTube it's so that you can
watch otherwise it would look really rubbish people are very quick to criticize but
they're just not intelligent enough to think it through why that person why that YouTuber has done that it's so that you get a
decent View and a decent shot of camp you know it's not necessarily
an instructional video and people who want to learn how to do
YouTube they learn from watching these as well thousands of people are trying
to become YouTubers all the time I wonder how many camping channels there are now must be hundreds hundreds or maybe there's a thousand or
so I don't know there's a lot and as I said in my last video unfortunately there's a lot of crap ones as well that are just coming out of Asia that are
just basically soft porn really awful awful videos to watch and they're doing it just to get the
the clicks the views and make the money and they're using semi-naked girls
on the thumbnail and in the video to get that and YouTube's doing nothing
about it I guess they think that's fine but when those things make more money
then genuinely good camping videos you know some people out there
are producing great content it's it's just horrible to think so
that's what Society has come down to now okay now it's all still a bit damp in here until Bruce's fault so I've got to take it home dry it out anyway everything gets oh there's my lamp foreign stuff to test I think that arrives this week so yeah
I I take everything apart when I get home everything comes out and everything dries windy days are the best for drying gear out
not direct sunlight all you need are windy days okay now the beauty of this tent one of the beaches of this tent that
makes it easier to dismantle you can move the poles together I'll show you what I
mean so yeah this is the hillberg Nyack niac so you pick it up and flick and the
whole thing comes together like that pretty cool huh how easy is that
so I can assure you in winter when you're dealing with poles with tents that
have clips instead of sleeves nightmare they freeze oh it's horrible to take apart this
thing is so quick to take apart I've seen hardly any reviews on YouTube of this tent than the
ACT I don't know why it's a brilliant tent again this might be my go-to tent from now
on unless I know conditions are going to be heavy snow because it's not meant for snow
conditions because snow blows into any crack any crack it's incredible if you've
got even the slightest Gap under your door or anything like
that then snow will blow in there so true Four Season tense go
right down to the ground right now and some even have flaps on
them to load up with snow which is all well and good but if you're those
tents are then a nightmare when there isn't snow because those flaps at the bottom flap
around and make a lot of noise in the Wind so any tent from hilleberg that is the category
of red or black is designed to be used in the snow and this is a yellow so it can it's not recommended for snow because
of the gaps at the bottom for ventilation all right I'm going to throw all this in popular on the GoPro got to pack that up and
I'll bring you straight back right all sorted all packed up that's a big pack put a lot
of stuff on there all right site is clear we're all good right so we'll say our goodbyes
