Another beautiful film - I love your eye for light and your contrasts between near and far. It's exactly as you say, many fears can jostle our minds but actually, being discretely out in nature is one of the safest places to be.
There's a calmness in your videos; the music, your voice; please keep that. I'm actually totally relaxed watching this video. Thank you! Food. Try fresh instant noodles by Mayflower. It's a kit consisting of a plastic tub and lid with a plastic fork. It has boil in the bag fresh noodles. Two choices of sauce. I use the soy sauce, the other is an oil. Then it has the spices. The use by dates are good for a few months and they cost less than a couple of quid. I get mine from B&M when they have them. Only a three minute boil in the bag. The battle of the mind! Keep going! The battle of the mind is a real issue. You're not far from the truth when you mention the crime stuff on tv. It feeds the part of the mind you're battling against when you go out solo. Keeps you captive. Feed the part of your mind that you're wanting to win. Hope that makes sense. Take a couple of handwarmers to throw in your sleeping bag if it gets nippy. A really good tip is to stick one of those cursheat pads on, the things for aches and pains, over the top of a baselayer though. The best place is on the upper back, left side. Warms the blood and makes the job of the heart that much easier. Two handwarmers (one pack) and one Curaheat pad just in case. All the best to you.
Thank you, lovely to hear you find my videos so relaxing 😊 I won’t be changing, calm and quiet in the wild is always what I’m trying to share 😊 Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll try and find them and give them a go! I’d never heard of them before 😁 Yes defiantly! I’m starting to be a bit more conscious about what I choose to watch now, every time a crime show is suggested to me I wonder how much it will affect me next time I’m out! I try to override all the bad thoughts with more positive ones too 😊 Good suggestion, I hadn’t thought of the heat pads 😊 I’ll definitely be getting some hand warmers as the months get colder, I wasn’t expecting it to be so cold in august! Maybe that’s a bit naive 😄 Thank you for your comment and tips, it’s always so helpful to hear what others do and have learnt 😊🌞✨
@BrookAurora You're welcome Brook. I'm sorry that this reply has taken so long. I actually thought I already had! I keep looking out for your next one! 😃
Bang on video, you are so right,it's people not animals I worry about, another great video ,your worries and thoughts I reckon are shared by many wild camping for the first few times .
Thank you I’m glad you like it! I can imagine that in some countries I might be worried about wild animals but we are lucky here in the UK for that 😁 the mind does go a bit wild with imagination when your on your own sometimes 😄
I totally understand your concerns and admire you for getting out there anyway - I'm sure your fears will lessen with time :D 'Right here, right now, all is well,' is something I chant repeatedly when I feel anxious. You created a wonderful, stunning video to share which made me feel calm and peaceful, so thank you for that X
Thank you, it took me a long time to get myself out and a lot of persuading to myself 😄 a very good chant, thank you for sharing, I’ll use it next time I’m out and feeling nervous 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🤍
I’m going solo for overnighter since nearly 40 years now, and let me tell you that outdoors, in the woods, in the mountains, where ever is the saves way to spend a night. I would never sleep or fall asleep at a railway station or somewhere in a city or village.....or even whilst riding a train......I assume your fear is based on doing something new, solo, to trust nature, to trust that nothing (besides the whether) can attacks you, remember: also your genetics are based on the genetic of people living „outdoors“ or in a cave..... recall your roots. And really try to enjoy these kind of sleep - an forgotten natural sleep in nature... BTW: nice vid! 😊 keep on!
When is your next one?😊 I so love the way you respect the environment you are in. Love the filming, love the light, the imagery is so relaxing and transports me, along with your choice of music, on the journey with you. Thank you 😘
Thank you Brook, ... watching your Vlog, was a total delight, a lovely experience. I'm going to 'Save' this one to my Fav's ... A FIRST I may add, and I've watched a few believe me! May the Lord be with you and keep you safe, on each of your ventures!!🙏
Beautiful video Brook. I just love your storytelling and your eye for capturing such beautiful scenes. Congrats on another successful camp and also on getting 1,000 subscribers! Well deserved. Looking forward to following more of your journey and many more awesome videos. Keep creating! 🤓🫶
Thank you as always, I really appreciate your encouraging comments 😁 glad you enjoyed it and thank you, I’m quite amazed I’ve already got to 1000! 😊✨🤍🌞🌿
Another lovely video nicely done. Believe it or not you have inspired this old bloke to get my kit and go for a walk. I have lots of bits and bobs all the gear just look for excuses not to go. Thank you.
Well done! What a lovely gentle video. I have to coax and con myself out the door every time. My first camp I was up at 7am and out at 1pm.. but I'm shaving minutes off my stalling each time😊
Thank you, glad you like it 😊 I am exactly the same! Although I know I’ll love it and be glad went I’m out, I always stall before going. Hopefully one day we’ll both be full of confidence 😁🌞
Lovely video . I didn't get much sleep on my last camp . Police helicopter circling below in the valley at 2.30am followed by planes flight path diverted over the Moors one every 30 minutes throughout the night . Mist rolling along the valley and steam rising off the woods whilst sun comes up made it worthwhile
Lovely photography in your filming. You capture the place so well and you capture your experience so honestly. You give me another nudge to get on with some wild camping. Luckily most humans I meet are pretty nice 🙂
I remember the anxiety of my first camp in 1979, once I had fought off my first werewolf attack and thwarted my first vampire with a garlic bulb all seemed well. As for your natural fear of humans I assume you mean men, I can reassure you 99.99% of the men you meet up there will have nothing but admiration for your abilities as a wild camper, and for your skills as a hill walker. when I meet lone women on the hills I tried very hard to give off a harmless bloke vibe standing off the path to give way and hoping I am demonstrating nothing but admiration, and no ill will. The hills are for everyone and everyone should promote that. Stay safe.
Thank you for your comment and kind reassurance 😊 I do mean men and I know the vast majority are absolutely harmless and kind! It’s just the unknown I suppose. I feel much safer in the hills than in a city and know that most people that enjoy the wild wouldn’t cause any harm 😊 I’ll remember to keep a garlic in my pack for those vampire attacks 🧛♂️😄
Hello there. I love this video! I can totally relate to your narration and would love to try solo camping. Too much thoughts come in my mind but one fine day, I'll try it ! Thanks for sharing this journey. 🥰
Hello and thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 I hope you do get to try it one day, it's so wonderful and makes the fears and worries all worth it in the morning! Maybe next summer when you have longer days again 😁
New to your channel and well done you for getting out there - I'm yet to attempt a solo camp, I'm not brave enough. Agree with the thought of it and the racing thoughts, it all disappears when you get out into the wild, it's such an amazing feeling x
Hello and welcome 😊 It took me a long time to work up the confidence! Going to familiar place that I could leave and get home easily helped me a lot to give it a go 😁 it really does, the wild is like a tonic 😊🌞✨🌿
Another great video. Love to see you overcoming your fears. I learned how to get a good sleep years ago, I take a drop of 'Uisce Beatha'. You might call it whiskey😂 But a wee dram of Tullamore Dew sets me right off and warms the cockles!
I’m glad to hear your found it inspiring 😊 I still have the fear even though I’ve done 3 solo camps now! Just got to try and push through it 😁 good luck if you get to do a solo camp!
Amazing video once again Brook! I have only been wild camping once and had a horrible experience, your videos are inspiring me to give it another go! I too watch too many true crimes … doesn’t help 😂😂😂
Thank you, so glad to hear it’s inspiring you to try camping again! What happened on your camp to put you off? I hope you do get to try it, it’s a wonderful feeling when it goes well 😊 yes the crime documentaries are not good when your going solo 😂
@@BrookAurora I thought I was going to die 😅 bad weather came that we were not expecting and we were in a basha … had to get in my emergency blanket and hold the top shut till morning … 🥲🥲🥲 I will have to give it another go soon 😂
Absolutely, nothing wrong with Pot Noodles🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣. Your camera work is amazing great video thank you don’t tell me exactly where but what part of the country is that? I get exactly what you mean it’s people that’s the problem, when I go camping out because I’m older I use a hammock as my back can’t take laying on the ground. I’ve had deer right up close foxes and a badger sniffing around and under my hammock. I prefer the woods it’s my church. Keep safe and enjoy
I love them 😂 thank you, glad you enjoyed! It’s in Wales 😊 I’d love to try hammock camping soon, must be quite amazing having the animals come right underneath you 😁 I also love the woods, I’m just more nervous of the noises and less light, one day I hope to stay in the woods though 🌿
Thank you, glad you enjoyed them! 😁 I’ve got a larger tent that I sometimes use when I camp with Brochan and Floss but am looking to get a one man for solo winter camps. I also just love bivvy camping! It just feels more simple and there’s nothing like looking up at the sky when falling asleep 😁✨
I hope you relax more in life , i have a Son and daughter slightly older than you and grandchildren so i say that ( relaxing) with the best of intentions.
mmmmm I find those meals a little too yuck for my taste. When you go out next time I would like to set you a challenge. Cook something nice, something that makes us all want to come around for tea. Something not out of a packet. Really nice video by the way love the music Good luck.
Thank you, glad you like the video! I have to admit I am not a keen cook 😄I used to work as a chef and I think it’s put me off for life! I actually quite like the fire pot meals but maybe one day I’ll cook something up 😁
Don't sleep well the first night? That is normal. Second night, you sleep well through sheer exhaustion. This is the pattern for camping. You get used to it.
@@dizzyprepper7850 usually I don’t have a problem falling asleep on the first night! This was the first night I’ve ever found it hard to sleep while wild camping, it was horrible 😄
Thank you 😊 I try not to make them too long to be honest but maybe I’ll try and make slightly longer ones in the future! Also planning on making a video just about equipment etc soon 😊
She narrates so so well. Her voice soothes me to sleep . What an inspiration for a lot of young girls x

I’m a fan of them anyway 😁 Though the fire pot meal was pretty good too 😄 thank you!
a pot noodle a day keeps the single female worries away..beautiful video Brook
Hahah very true 😄 thank you!
Down to earth, superb photography, a lovely engaging voice, and so real. Well done you and keep us all looking forward to viewing your adventures. 😊
Thank you Matt! I appreciate your kind words 😊🌞✨
@@BrookAurora absolutely derserved. 😃
I respect every reason why you do this. Hope to see more of your adventures
Stunning place, you capture it beautifully.
Thank you! It is a beautiful spot 😊
My knees were aching just looking at those hills 😂 , great video and thanks for taking us 😁👍🍻
Mine were a bit afterwards 😄 glad you liked it and it’s a pleasure 😊🌞
Another win for the youtube algorithm, pointing me towards your channel. Lovely stuff. Keep up the good work :)

Absolutely brilliant!! Really enjoyed watching this fantastic upload my friend. Unmatched atmosphere!!!
Thank you so much! 😁🌞
