GEAR! What I took for 3 Nights Alone in the Wild | 9.6kg Base Weight | Backpacking & Wild Camping
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2022
- Just a lil run-down of the gear I took for 3 nights in the wild (loved this trip! See the video here: • 3 Nights Alone in the ... )
Still not as light as I’d like to be, but a bit lighter than last year, with my base weight currently down to 9.6kg
Two things to note:
- TENT (Lanshan Pro 1) I didn’t seam seal it properly and it let water in. I'll re-do the seams & update
- BIVI BAG (Rab Survival Zone Lite) - It isn’t waterproof. Fine for dealing with condensation in the tent, rubbish at dealing with a leaking tent or worse

#Backpacking #WildCamping #Hiking #Gear
I have the utmost respect for you and what you have accomplished with your follower numbers. You are far braver than me, I’m a 63 year old bald, ugly, fat bloke and I would not camp out alone anywhere.
I wish you every success in the future.
It's nice to be amongst fellow geeks
Ditch the waterproof jacket for a large poncho, more ventilation and protects backpack and has more use if not needed.
You can clean your pan without water, just turn it upside down over the fire, the heat will kill any bacteria and germs, then when cool just wipe it off.
And if it has food scraps or oil stuck to it?
A truly motivational video for people with mental health, get out & wild camp! Claire you truly are a inspiration for many, fair play. Your videos are more than noticed by many that follow you, you truly are a inspiration to many, thank you xx
Thanks, Leon! Means a lot, hope you're having a great weekend :) Claire🐻
Very clear prep Claire. Good video. You have thought about every detail. Stay Beautiful, prepared and safe.
Great information and reviews, Claire. It's really helpful that we get the good, the bad and the ugly - it'll save a lot of your subscribers a fortune when selecting gear.
Thanks Steve :) I'm hopeful that I can get the tent watertight as I really like it otherwise, the bivi is not fit for purpose in a leaky-tent situation though. Have a great weekend! :) 🌿 Claire
Thank you Claire for taking the time to explain your kit.
Great to see the gear you took and your feedback through "future you". Having watched the trip its Good to see how all fits together. Cheers
Oh my gosh very organized 😍
Thx for sharing Claire. I have the same OMM Halo rain clothes. Best I ever had for hiking. I find it very breathable, incredible light and takes up no space. Last week I did a 70km hike over 3 days. Passed close by Helms Deep, but no ongoing battle luckily. 1 night sleeping in tent (I use a Dan Durston x-mid1), 1 night sleeping in shelter. Had every kinds of weather: Sun, strong winds, rain followed by double rainbows. Perfect!
Some people nowadays are obsessed with going lighter and lighter, I find out what is the best for me and no matter the weight, I go with it and over time the body accepts the weight (becomes stronger) and it is no longer a problem. Horses for courses I know but I talk from 67 years experience and at 74 still out there climbing mountains. Having completed 65 tramps (hikes) last year and 35 so far this year. Cheers from NZ
.
Very cool! Great weight too - clearly well thought out. Everything you need!
Great video again Claire , you carry some very sensible stuff there.
It also gives you confidence, which is important.
You can deal with most scenarios, and most importantly stay in contact with others.
Thank you for talking us through it all.👍
Thanks Jamie! Yes I'm getting there with it, it's a constantly evolving thing of course :) Hope you're having a great week 🌿🐻
Glad you’ve done the gear run down. Think I’ll get one of those ⛺️, enjoy the mountains
Thanks for the video…the views you have there ..fantastic..beautiful country…stay safe and take care !!
Awesome "Gear" followup to your original "3-Nights In the Wild" on the Mount Snowdon! Very interesting! Thank you WildBeare!
Great information video Claire, can't beat tried and tested to see how good things are. Keep up the wonderful adventures
Thank you Asa, hope you're having a lovely weekend :) 🤗🐻
Brilliant video!!!
Fun video, glad I came across your channel. love the "Future Me " shots. its nice when people keep it real.
Thanks for sharing.
Quick tip compressed coin towels just add water and you've got a wet cloth great for 1st aid, lightweight and easy to use cheap too.
Brilliant videography...really enjoy watching your adventures...👍
cool trip
Always nice to see someone's kit list. Good luck sealing the tent, I used Gear Aid's Seam Grip +SIL with some white spirit to thin it down. It allows the seams to soak it up properly and form a proper barrier. Love the mini-bungees, my brain instantly thought of a myriad of uses for them. 😊
Thanks Matt, yep that's what I'm using too :) I'm hoping now that I've done it properly it'll be watertight, the first time I did it in a rush un-erected on my living room floor and mostly missed the seams so it's no wonder it leaked 😄
Super equipped. Brilliant
Get yourself a CNOC bladder, the sawyer filters screw directly onto them so no more fear about the sawyer pouch splitting, which happened to me on a solo trip to the lakes.
Glad you’ve joined the Lanshan fan club, I have the 2 non pro as I need the extra space with my two whippets. We went for the 4 season inner because we’re cold sleepers and go out year round.
Highly recommend a down quilt to save a satisfying amount of weight whilst staying toasty warm.
Loving the videos, keep doing your thing!
Excellent kit! When I did outdoor activities at college 40 odd years ago, we weren't allowed more than 30lbs of kit....& getting down to that was a struggle! Kit has evolved!
Nice loadout although you missed the weight of your clothes peg holding the tent door open, 😂. Great vid as always.
Nice review. Thanks for the share. Amazing how even in a gear review you manage to have beautiful scenery. :)
Hi Claire I am new to this channel I enjoy camping too in the uk it’s nice to get away from everyone too
HI Claire - I love all your vids but this is especially useful. Writing my christmas list - haha :)
Claire love you get out and have a go! I used to wild camp when younger, and would love to do it noow but have degenerative spine. Watching you gives me the next best choice. You go girl!!
Thank you Debra, sorry to hear about your spine issues, but glad my lil vids can give you a feel of the outdoors 🌿💚 Best wishes and have a great weekend :) Claire🐻
Cool stuff. Have fun stay safe.
Nice kit. Kinda staggering that you have to seam seal the tent yourself though.
When the manufacturer is fed up with returns for leaks " requires seam sealing" then its your fault it leaks... crafty
You are awesome I love watching you camping trips
I had one of these and sold it because although they are light they are quite flimsy in wind. I seam sealed mine using clear silicone mixed with thinners. Apply and leave to dry then apply a second coat. It looked a bit messy but it didn't leak at all even in storms. I sealed it about half an inch to either side if the sewn seams and all over the round strengthening discs.
Aloha Claire, cool little vid setting out all your gear, gives people a good idea of what to take on these type of adventures, dig those crazy sunglasses man, haha, and those dance moves, priceless. Take care and have a lovely weekend. Aloha, Simon. Bristol x🌿🌿🌿⛺️
Hehe thanks Simon! Glad you like my cool look 😎 😄 Hope you have a wonderful weekend too :) 🌿 🐻 Claire
Great vid.
I found the lanshan pro1 great in wind as long as I had storm pegs..the big yellow ones shaped like a 7. The black plastic fixing on the front guy rope for opening broke. Replaced with a metal fixing and it's fine..facing it into the wind really helped with the condensation reducing it to almost nothing.
Must get a full length thermalite as I use a small one which just ain't good enough.
Wow! Never seen waterproofs with thumb holes - cool! OMM = Original Mountain Marathon. Always nice having a nosey at what others are carrying (gear geekness). Thanks for uploading. 👍🌲🐻
Yehh I love them 😃 thank you for watching, have a great weekend :) 🌿🐻
Fantastic video cracking job well done 👏
True, you don't find out how stuff works until you use it. I'm not really worried about weight that much, although saying that I try to be sensible. Stay safe 🙏 great video thanks for posting
I'm jealous!!! Amazing views, not found around here. *Thanks* for sharing your adventures and also your practical hiking/camping gear usage! Cheers!
Thanks Terry! :D 🐻
@@WildBeare I watch ALOT of bushcraft/survival/outdoors vids, and was raised in the southern US, where I grew up always in the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting,. I have really been enjoying yours because they feel authentic. Thanks for that. We live in a sometime fake world, so I love seemingly original, and real content!! Cheers! Keep them coning, I am a BIG fan!
Fantastic job. Great equipment. The tent can be fixed. You'll get it. You're doing far better than a lot of others out there. There's a lot of trial and error and do it again. That's how we learn. What works for one may not always be what's works for another. Enjoy watching ya here in Alaska. Keep up the awesome works and adventures. Tim
Thanks so much Tim :) Yep lots of trial and error, not sure this tent is the one for me though, I'm often pitching on wonky, uneven ground etc and I think this one requires more precision than that in wet weather. Shame because I love the weight of it, blissful for hiking with! And I think it looks lovely haha. Hope you have a lovely week :) Claire🐻
One Tigris backwoods bungalow 2.0. good suggestion for light weight tent.
awesome kits and video
nice work Clair, thanks for the tip with the water shoes, will need to drop some weight out of my back pack too, planning to do the coast to coast next year when my knee is a lot stronger, had knee op all is good, anyway keep up the good work and thanks for the honest reviews too.
You could try a military Bivi bag & use Paracord instead of shoe laces , I would carry a fire striker on a neck chain . Do love these videos .
Nice One Claire ♥️
9kg impressed, canon lenses I prefer is almost 1.5kg makes lightweight anything a challenge. Enjoying the vlogs thank you.
I like to take a alu water bottle and fill it with hot water before bed and put it into a sock, it keeps the bag warm and saves on hand warmers 😊
Thank you for the new info on your light kit transformation. About the Lansham, if it's constructed from silnylon, I believe silicone sealant for this fabric is what is needed for waterproofing it. Your kit past and current is awesome. Deuter makes great packs although Osprey gets a lot of mention. I'm glad you chose to try them out. Cheers!
Thank you :) yep I'm using a silicone sealant, I had sealed it but did a terrible job of it on my living room floor 😄I've re-done it now so hopefully it'll be watertight 🤞The Osprey packs don't work for me as they did in and rub on my neck for some reason, I know a lot of people love them though. Thanks so much for watching, hope you're having a great weekend :D Claire 🐻
I love gear lists ^^
Great gear setup there Claire! I'm glad that you were able to lighten your load a bit and still keep it comfortable :) Once you get your Lanshan sorted out I hope that you like it as much as I do mine. Wishing you an amazing week my friend! Stay wild.... -John
Thanks John! I think it'll be good for dry forecasts or single nights, not sure that I'm gonna get on with it for multiple nights & wet forecasts. You too :D 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare You're very welcome Claire! Thank you too! :D
ClaireBeare!!! I think the 'Buggy-Sunny' outfit really looks good on you!! @10:35!!
That's a great kit very light for a multi day trip,
Those water shoes are an excellent idea! Nothing sucks more than going across a stream crossing holding onto the cable and having the current knock your feet out from under you and watching your crocks float down the stream never to be seen again. and have no camp shoes. and have nothing to do stream crossings in except getting your shoes and socks wet. and be in the middle of the 100-mile wilderness of the AT with no way of buying anything. yep, experience talking, lol
Great review of your Kit Claire.. think you should you the bug net and shades more 😎, you rock that look matey 👍😁💞
If your going to light on everything else, use an Army gortex bivvy bag. Can’t go wrong with one of those. ‘Go light, freeze at night’, as I was told once, by an ex British marine.
🇬🇧👍🏾
Are they 100% waterproof though? Could you lay in a puddle and still stay dry? Maybe this is what happened to her, the tent's floor created a swimming pool and the bivey bag sucked it up??
You can, there are many cases of those getting water logged, plus they are heavy, bulky, over sized, and usually 2nd hand. I would opt for an Alpkit Hunka 10,000 mm hydro head, and MVTR of 10,000 g/m²/24 hour, 330 g if in Large size.
Doesn't mean putting a gortex hull around your sleeping bag that your bag is getting wet from your sweat?? At the end sleeping bags are breathable material. If you enclose it with a bag around it, it definitely gets wet. So, I will never understand why anyone would use a bivvy bag around a sleeping bag.
"If you're not breaking nails when you're in Snowdonia, you're doing it wrong".
Love that
Take a look at a CNOC water bag.
Wide mouth opening for scooping water quick and easy, 2 & 3 liters - very tough bag no leaking.
Bonus - get an extra one for women night time needs, so we don’t have to get out of the tent 🏕 to pee, it’s a perfect fit.
I’ve been hiking 🥾 for over 40 yrs now.
I've used Deuter rucksacks for many years, home and abroad. One of the many advantages of this make, specifically the smaller volume ones,, is the built in rain cover. Saves using dry bags for all items, plus saving weight when your rucksack gets saturated in downpours.
My smaller Deuter - Futura Pro 36 - this has a built in rain cover, although this big one that I used for this trip doesn't have one. I'd still use dry bags with a rain cover though, had them let water is too many times in the past, usually between my back and the rucksack
U've been unlucky then. Never happened to me in a major thunderstorm in Moab, Utah walking five miles back to my tent using a 50+10 with independent rain cover.
Those tiny little stoves are no use without the gas tin, so its miniature dimension only serves to help mislay the important item or worse stand on it! Every time I see a mountain beauty boiling their camping cup perched atop such a cherished gadget - I am tempted to give it a gentle poke with a stick to reveal its deficiency. Of course I'm not that bad to do it.
Hi Claire! Thanks for making this video, it's got a lot of great gear ideas that many of us backpacking beginners can use. I plan on doing a 3 day hike as well, but in a foresty part of southern Poland. I will use this video as a checklist for what I'll need on that trip :D
On a side note, have you ever considered going camping with some other TH-camrs? Many of the UK camping content creators seem to be aquainted and camp together, so I was wondering if you'd entertain such an idea. It can give a channel a nice boost and yours deserves to have a million subs for your cinematography alone 😊
Hi Jake! Aw yay so glad you found it useful, your 3-day hike sounds beautiful 😍 hope you have an amazing time :D
I'm quite a lone wolf so I prefer to camp alone. I do camp with others very occasionally but I don't film as I hate talking to the camera in front of people. I'm quite happy doing my own lil thing :) but thank you I appreciate that very much ☺
Wishing you a wonderful weekend 🌿🐻 Claire
Awsome hiking camping adventure.
The bug net & sunglasses was a really great look. :)
Great video about pack weight. I packed up the other day to do a part of the South West Coast Path, all was good with kit as I just nudged over the 10Kg then water and food added :( As I was going to be remote packed 4 litres of water (2.5 in osprey bladder + 1.5 bottle) and then food on top taking my combined weight to just over 15Kg. I also did my 1st wild camp on a hillside somewhere outside of Lynmouth, used the DD ultra light tarp & alpkit bivvy - no real difference to camping lol Keep up the informative vids always good to see what others are using out in the wild.
That clothes peg is a great idea, packing a clothes peg next time I go away.
Awesome video.
Nice one, Claire. really interesting to see what you took to get the base weight down. For me though the condensation and water leaks in tent would drive me mad, I would have the extra weight and have the Hubba NX (or similar). Also interesting with all the tics around you didn’t mention a tic tool?
The other tip I saw and use myself is a piece of micro towel around the gas canister so it doesn’t scratch or damage your cook pot.
Happy Trails Claire and look forward to your next adventure
Hi Paul! Mmm I've just used this tent in the rain again and let let LOADS of water in.. admittedly this is because I pitch on wonky areas haha but I do need a tent that is forgiving of this I guess. I've gone off the Hubba NX a bit since the poles snapped in high winds.. my favourite tent is my Naturehike Cloudpeak 2 but it's far to heavy for me for the mountains really. There's a tick tool in my med kit, as listed in the description, I didn't go through every single thing in the med kit & toiletries bag but it is in the list. I also treat my outer layers of clothing with Permethrin before the trip, and thankfully since I started doing this the ticks have left me alone :D (such a relief as I was covered in them last year!) Ooo yeh I do sometimes use a micro towel around my cook pot, just to stop it rattling mainly. Thanks for watching, have a great week! :) Claire🐻
@@WildBeare Thank you for replying! You’ve been an inspiration to getting me out wild camping myself. Like the Permethrin tip, I camp on Dartmoor and the blighters are here too, although not in the numbers you found in Rhinogs!
An educational video if you ask me! Ideal 👍
Good insight into the gear that you're currently carrying Claire.
Wow, your pack weight! I struggle to get mine down to 18kg, however, I've just purchased the Mini 2, to swop out for my DJI mavic pro 2, so that should make a big difference.
May I suggest carrying something that wasn't mentioned, which a lot of hikers/wild Campers neglect to carry, antihistamine, as they've helped me in the past, getting over some nasty bites.
Look forward to the next one - tonight I believe. Rich and Annuschka. X
lol! The "oh crap" face at 3:56 because of the wind gust.
The sponge for the condensation is a great light weight solution...why didn't I think of that ? You totally deserved a nice trip !
Very nice set up
I reckon a lighter rucksack has to be next on my list. I'll check out the Deuter ones.
Thanks.
Mark.
Love your videos
Great equipaments
glad to see you have the garmin, I have a couple garmin etreck gps because I love geocaching. i do try to be prepared for all cirrcumstances. of course i don't backpack anymore throw everything in my pt cruiser and can sleep very good in my car, the gear today is sure lighter than in the past my backpack used to be about 50 to 80 pounds.
Thanks for the information
I enjoyed your video and have a great week.
I made a goretex Bivy bag. It works nice. Not a pro sewing job but I managed . I’ve used it on scout winter camping and regular camping. If I could due different I’d put a couple metal rods for the head area. Just more area to protect.
Thx for sharing your new gear setup. I will look at those genius folding cups at decathlon. I gave up on water bladders years ago since they eventually leak and have just rigged easy ways to get at my water without removing my pack. That way, I still have bottles as you do but skip the weight of the bladder system. Have you consider the Durston X-Mid tents? Well priced, light trekking pole tents that are double walled and come seam sealed. Not much heavier than your Lanshan but would eliminate the need for the bivvy that did not work. I mention this since you’re counting grams to some extent.
So much stuff! I was shocked when you said 9 kilo on the 3 day video, then to see this video, and see the breakdown of everything, the actual weight of each item, was very insightful. Being a none camper, this was a great help for any forthcoming camps I do do. Not gonna lie, it's the toilet situation that I think about haha. Butt, once over that, I'd be out every other week I'm sure haha. Great video as usual, top job, look forward to your next adventure🏞⛺️🌅🤘
Thank you Paul :) mm it still amazes me how it all fits nicely into a rucksack, like magic! The toilet situation can take a bit of getting used to, but once you get used to it tis not an issue, same as anything I guess! Hope you'll give the camping a try, it's so good for the soul :) 💚 Thanks for watching my lil video and hope you're having a lovely weekend 🤗 Claire🐻
Great video 👍
I LOVED IT THANK YOU.............
seems for your wild advetures you have all necessary . So with your nice kits help you
Great film - I always take to much kit but you seem to have nailed it. I wondered if you ever get scared at night on these jaunts, and whether there were any 'safety-related' factors in how you choose your camping spots?
Get an auscam bivy if you want a great waterproof bivy. They are a bit heavy but very reliable. I use this under a 3x3 alton goods tarp with this bivy; works like a charm.
That's pretty light for 3 days, experienced matter indeed. Had my very first wild camp last Thursday at Angle Tarn and was carrying a solid 13.3kg.
Awesome review
Next thing we’ll see you on T V presenting, smile I think you would be good . All the best
Love it 😍✨
great assortment of gear BabyBeare....trek on girl
Working up to my first solo camp. You're experiences give me confidence and ideas. All I need to do now is wait until spring, I live in Tasmania, when the weather is a bit more predictable. Right now the open country near to where I live, Cradle Mountain and the World Heritage Area, is getting some reasonable dumps of snow and winds so this is not the time. Keep the ideas coming. Just one point, do you keep your Garmin InReach Mini on your person or in your pack? A local park ranger advised to keep your PLB on your person at all times because if you lose your pack over a cliff edge or in a river or you wander off from your camp site and cannot find it in the dark you could be in trouble.
I am an old man with some camping experience and still use a map and compass. Would never trust navigation to electronics.
You need to get a fanny pack and put this on your drone to help lighten YOUR load! LOL! Thanks for all the videos Claire, LOVE your videos and channels!
haha love it thats what i do with the wee pegs
I just got a 1.6kg Vango Helix to try out. It’s hard to go too light when you’re out in the forest here in Northern Finland! Enjoy the outdoors 😊
Great Video.
Brilliant and informative runthrough. I've started to re-evaluate what I take out on day trips with what I actually need and use rather than what would be good to have in my bag. Down to 6 kgs yesterday...... and half of that was my Firebox stove and 2 litres of water - it's hot out here in Malaysia😓. ATVB and stay safe 😷
Thank you Razif! :) ooh yes those stoves are heavy aren't they, I love my Bushbox but I only ever take it out local because of the weight of it. Bet it's hot over in your part of the world 🥵 (but beautiful!) Have a great weekend :) 🌿🐻 Claire
Loads of gear to take😳
Great informative video, thanks for sharing
My tent is a single layer Dyneema (Zpacks) so I tuck my quilt footbox into my rain shell whenever there’s a chance of condensation. It does an excellent job of keeping me dry and I don’t have to carry the extra weight of a bivy. Try it, it works great.
