- Shelter construction and research at Harwood forest, Northumberland. Filmed over a period of several months.
UPDATE, I now think the UFO trail camera pic is a motorhome or caravan parked up on side of the road. Thanks to subscriber Gord Slater for helping solve this puzzle. You can still download the image from the link below and see for yourself.

I absolutely enjoy all of your wild camps! But the spruce forest and yeti camps are certainly the most entertaining ones, it shines brilliantly through your own skepticism about it. To watch you trying to make it make sense makes it in a thrilling way, sense to me, Damien! I don't know how to put it in any other (nor)way.
Thank you for the comment, I couldn't have put it any better than you said. I go to the forest seeking answers, only to come away with more questions needing answered. Thats why I keep returning, thanks for watching..
Your the man! Dont wanna blow sun shine up your a××e but you were 1 of the first TH-cam wild campers I watched and inspired me to get out, I'm never tired of your videos, your knowledge research an humor is refreshing, I'm on the same page with u on what our reality is, and the one that's painted , getting out balances my energy .keep doing what your doing, ATB namaste 👍🙏
Thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot.
Class drone work, fade editing, and photography...you made my day!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your comment.
That was class mate. Paranormal wild camp. Amazing. Loved the shelter 💪👍👻
Glad you enjoyed it
ET mate watching the doggers ❤️❤️👍, that grey floating car watching the red car with people in it lol
Cracking video mate, could watch this stuff for hours, I love when you get out in this forest, yes, more of this kind of stuff, just magic! and you're looking well happy, cheers atb Dave
Great to see you safe and well after all the restrictions. Always enjoy ya vids. Stay safe 👌
Wow!! That photography at the end. Beautiful.
Always enjoy your videos, class ps I live beside the mourne mountains in northern Ireland, an we are convinced something lurking in the woods, we've called it ( the mourne turf trog .. ) anytime it was mentioned the friends wanted to go home, lol..🙂👍
..
When I started this journey looking for answers to the things being reported in the forests, woods and countryside in the UK. I expected it would all be easily explained as natural but the mystery deepens, like a trip down the rabbit hole it gets more weird. Thanks for watching..
Great to see ya back in the woods wild camping, love the shelter
Absolutely brilliant can’t wait for the next one
Exellent camera shots . Very entertaining on a Friday night by the TV

Had a wander up there last week after watching your vids. It really is a strange place. ATB Damian
The pic was great. I look at it and I believe its really something interesting.
Very interesting video. TFS. The sequence at the end, of your photography is stunning.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your comment.
Great video mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching.
At last nice to see you back oooot ..
Watch Damian a threw years now one ov best you tubers hands down
Always makes sence .getting out there.nice one Damian atb steve
I've always liked Harwood forest, its a different kind of camp. There are no beautiful views or sunsets, every tree looks the same and there are strange sounds during the night. Its hard to explain why I like the place but maybe its the search for answers or the feeling of not knowing what I'm going to find next which keeps me going back, thanks for your comment Steve.
@@Fell_Wanderer perfect comment understand completely
Great video as always bro and lovely to see you out doing a bit of wild camping making sense, well sort of. Nice spot you picked and good shelter too. Tarzan swinging though the trees found a couple of duds or could have been Yeti making a shelter. Safe travels.
Theres a good chance it was the wind breaking the trees but there are breaks which are X and W shaped that defies logic.
Good video and photos Damien 👌
Glad you like them, thanks for your comment.
Some excellent photos there Damien :thumbs-up: .... wouldn't look out of place in a coffee table book :)
I've only recently got more interested in photography and being such a dark gloomy place, its not often you get good light in Harwood forest.
@@Fell_Wanderer I'm no photography expert Damien - but I think they are really really good. Sterling work in fact!
As always, (paraphrasing a little) "get out and do a bit of wild photography... you *know* it makes sense" :D
I wild camped right up on the north west edge. Great place 👍. Take care mate.
Its quite a hike that far to the NW part of the forest but worth it to be away from anyone. I've camped mainly on the southern part but its nicer views nearer towards Simonside. Thanks for watching.
after a hard day not much went right one of those days lol ...then i come in and find a new fellwanderer vid
that made my day !!! thank you from Canada 🇨🇦
It was probably an old crisp packet blowing past the camera 😉
I dod look to buy a few ares of woodland in the west country for bushcraft and camping but found that most of it was on land that was so steep you'd almost need climbing equipment to navigate it lol
A couple of friends of mine got woodland which is spruce planted on old mine workings. I would prefer deciduous woodland as pine plantations are a bit boring and regimental.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your comment.
Love this mate, gonna be crapping me kegs when I’m up there next 🤣 quality is class ATB 🤙🏻
I sometimes get freaked out but just remind myself, if there was anything dangerous, it could have got me years ago.
U have the edge over many youtubers !
Where you been man. Good to see you back
Crack video mate. Always brings a smile watching your videos.
Been looking at the picture in the link. That’s well creepy. Definitely a strange one. Definitely unidentified flying object. Good capture
😹😹😹😹
Brilliant video,better than most of the crap on the telly
Brilliant video mate 👍🏻 you no it makes sense
beautiful photographs!
Glad you like them!
stayed there a few times and have heard some very weird sounds, great vid as per, ATB
Class as always, glad your well..I never took th biscuits HONEST!!!!
I think it might have been rodents taking the bicuits on other camping trips that the game camera didn't capture. Thanks for watching. .
Al b popping up there soon for a few wildcamps..Class place.
Another great video and love the shelter. Get out and do a bit of wild camping- you know it makes sense. All the best to you fella 👍
Thanks, I will do, ATB.
Great vid Damien! I think the mice are putting so much weight on eating chocolate biscuits that the trees are just snapping when they climb up them?😂
I've stopped feeding them as they will start breeding and multiplying then chewing through my gear that's stashed there. Thanks for watching.
Great vid. "Yeh kno it maykes sennse" (& pouts) lol.
Great to see you out in the best forest in Northumberland Damien mate can't wait to get back out for a camp there myself the shelter is spot on mate it's all you need I was up at my camp the other day the amount of fresh trees that were down was unbelievable but they won't be wasted I've got plans to build something hopefully we can arrange a meet up in harwood be good to catch up again mate atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍🤟🤟
I watched your latest video and seen all the tree breaks. That amount of trees coming down would concern me and wouldn't camp there when windy. I think your area is more exposed to the elements and at least you now have lots of building material to work with. 🤟
@@Fell_Wanderer it was mostly down the other end but it is a worry we have been looking for a other location aswell just incase I was up on Saturday and met a lovely couple who love your channel that video will be out in two weeks time 😎😎
Good stuff, Damien - enjoyed the visit mate. Always appreciate your Hardwood forest vids.
I can appreciate the cordage for what your intentions of use were, but I'd rather use Dyneema personally - particularly when it comes to remove and take away.
When I come to take down the camp, the cordage is polypropylene so wont rot and will have to be took away.
That's awesome mate! Been thinking about doing something similar in my local woods with the bairn...coz y"kna, it makes sense 😁
Theres nothing better than spring time in the woods, thanks for watching.
Brilliant stuff. It’s an interesting place as I’ve always commented before. Can’t wait to get back out to Harwood the place seems to draw me. But not going on my own next time like you said got freaked out. Feel like a bit of a Sh-t house 😂 watching you braving it on your own. Ps have you ever heard of Cannock Chase I’m off to do a bit of research there in a few weeks. Loads of spooky going’s on. Apparently loads of sightings of a large Dog Man (Werewolf) ???? Or maybe Just Doggers 😂👍 ATB pal take care.
I've heard a lot about Cannock Chase and Dogman sightings. I would camp there, we aren't going to find out whats going on without boots on the ground. If I lived close by I would be there now. Harwood is about 20 miles from me so thats my research area. I'm lucky to be only 30 minutes away and could walk home in a day if the SHTF and lost my car. I've seen joggers but not doggers, although I'm sure they are there lol
I'm regularly up there mate but I've noticed a lot more litter around lately, me and my wife have done numerous bike rides upto simonside highly recommended great video mate can't wait to get out camping.
The scenery gets better further north towards Simonside. Gonna do some bike packing up there soon, thanks for watching. .
It looks like a good job Damien. I don't think that will be coming down any time soon.
Morning mate, bloody great 😁👍. An great work. Always interesting. Going back to a place were strange lights have been seen. An when we camping over night, something walks up too are tents, but when we look out. They is nothing there. This has happened many times... Tc Andy
I've had people tell me things which have happened to them. All of that and what I've experienced over the years has me convinced there is a real phenomenon happening here.
@@Fell_Wanderer morning. Somethings going on down they. An it's always interesting
Interesting 👍🏻 👽
Yes, Harwood just throws up more questions than answers. Thanks for your comment.
@@Fell_Wanderer I’d love to go back at some point. 🥰👍🏻
My guess is, Lundy’s had your biscuits 😂😂
Aye, I'll find his camp and eat his biscuits to
Think someone already has after watching his latest post 🤬
🤣🤣🤣 they were nice next time leave a can of Stella to wash them down 🍺🍺🤣🤣🤣
@@thegeordiewildcamper different camp but thanks mate the harwood one is well hidden 👍👍
I'd love a Jordie bigfoot how funny would it be...I think I can hear him calling now.
"Why Ayeeeeeeeeeee"
Chance are someone has seen his videos and are just having a wind up when they go there,lol 😆
Brilliant video Damo. Loved every second of it. Harwood really is a cracking place even though its scary as hell at night. Hope you picked up some voices or noises on your sound equipment . Looking forward to your next one Damo .
I didn't hear anything on the recorder this time but will be heading there again in the next few days, thanks for taking time to comment.
@@Fell_Wanderer Enjoy your next trip to the spooky Forest of doom Damo. Maybe this time you will get something paranormal or bump into Bigfoot 🌲🌲🌲
News Flash, man found with his head up where the sun doesn't shine, in the forest. The Wildman, who lives in the woods said, "I'm sick of him. He keeps coming here, stinking it out with curry and fecking fish smells, nocking on fecking trees and waking my Mrs up, whooping his fecking heed off, so I ripped his off " lol. Love your vids, any sounds captured ?
no audio of interest captured on this visit.
@@Fell_Wanderer O well, next time.
I really enjoyed this mate, however, it's putting me off doing a solo wild camp in any forest. When I was in the army on exercise up Otterburn, I saw something unexplained in the night, I saw it through the NVG after I heard a noise to our left, I can only describe it as a very large headless man running away from us.
Dude, don't fear, its the living you should be afraid of, not the dead. ATB.
Next week Fell Wander shows you how to install a toilet and shower room plus bar LOL
I'm going back soon to build a bushcract chair and perhaps a table and furniture. I'm in it for the long haul and spend a lot of time there researching.
git ya sen a silky saw with a scabbard. that bow saw looks a pain to mess with.. and nice to see you out as well, even if it is out checkin on the harwood forest yeti.
The home made bucksaw is fine for the cutting I do but isn't as good as the Bahco bow saw I also used in the video. Silky saws are very good from what I've seen and would be easier to carry.
There's just something about that woods that looks spooky. It seems very old, a place where spirits would love to linger. Just makes sense to camp there. :-)
This video was a winner from the opening shots , right up to the stunning pictures , just before the end . Anybody who has ever camped solo in a woods , and says they have never been spooked , I question . IMO there is a high likely hood that they speak with fork tongue , or may be a future serial killer . It has happened to me many times , to one degree or the other . And , I am always armed . ( read handgun ). Good job on the build , and the fieldcraft . Now , on the captured picture that you provided a link for . WTH is your deal ?! That is obviously a UFO that the local squatch use for interstellar travel . Hell , people in the US see em all the time !! And , oddly . They never get spooked in the woods either :D Hmm... Great video . Be safe out there brother . They are among us :D ... Gubs
I used to shy away from the Bigfoot alien UFO connection but I'm open to all possibilities because I know UFO's and Bigfoot are real so there maybe a connection?. The amount of evidence regarding the existance of aliens is overwhelming and if one just looks at the Patterson film alone, the evidence points to Patty being a real bigfoot. Thanks for your comment Gubs.
@@Fell_Wanderer Sweet , we agree .... on one thing . I 100 % believe we are not the only people or beings in this Universe . But , IMO . While compelling , the Patterson BG video has been analyzed from hell and back . And of course , those analyzations hit "both" sides . Fake & real . So on that video , I am unconvinced . But , I did see a video recently interviewing the guy who was with Patterson that day . And I will say . He is probably the most credible person I have seen / heard tell their story .Actually , for me . He pushed my " possibility " meter to like 80% for their existence . Thanks for the reply . Be safe out there brother .... Oh BTW . When travel opens up again I plan to visit the EU , with the UK being part . Any chance you can let us know where that spooky woods is ? I 'd like to check it out for myself . Later .. gubs P.S . I "think " that interview was done by Les Stroud in one of his Y.T video's about BF he reposted , JIC you'd like to watch it ..
Whoop whoop👍🍻
Nice one (y)
Cracking video Damian always a good watch mate, your wee shelters spot on, paranormal activity is not for me mate I'd shit myself if you got a reply knock or woop 😂😂thanks for sharing atb crash😁🏴
The place still freaks me out but I get a buzz every time I'm there so keep going back for more, thanks for your comment.
Cracking camp Damian !
Any responses from the 12 hour field camera?
Let us know once you've reviewed the footage.
Gan canny👍
I heard nothing from the audio recordings but plan on going back and spending more time there. I might not make a video every time but when I have something interesting, I will upload and share what I find. Thanks for your comment Richard.
I couldn’t stay in that forest at night like you do on me own. Bugger that. Good video anyway cheers.
There was a time when I wouldn't go there alone after all the stories I've heard. I still get a bit freaked out on some occasions but try not to let that get to me. If there was anything dangerous, it could have had me a long time ago.
Class mate bad laughing at your woop sounds 😂
Great camp I’m x squadie n me n me daughter going camping there I’m into cryptid investigations aswell
I live between consett n Stanley been loads of cryptid reports on bike trails in area find it well interesting n luv being out in wild
My daughter told me boot ya I think she wks with u she a nurse
Keep up great wk u got new sub
Hi Andrew, your daughter doesn't work with me as I'm a full time carerer for my dad who has dementia. If she knows me its possibe we've met through her work as a nurse. Thanks for the sub and if you hear anything unusual about cryptids let me know, thanks for your comment.
Another great video
Can’t wait to try my bivy in Harwood
May not wait any longer it’s tedious now can’t catch or transmit to fresh air !
Wonder if there are any fish in the tarns I could take my travel spinning and fly rod
Thanks for a great video
I've not heard of fish in the tarns but there might be small course fish, its worth a look. Thanks for watching.
Another excellent video from the Forest of Doom...I really enjoy your exploits at this mysterious location Fell Wanderer please keep them coming....Do you think the fallen trees were really some form of warning signs aimed specifically at you or jus coincidental?...
I try to keep an open mind and not jump to conclusions. When there is little wind that would affect the lower trees in the forest canopy and there were 2 breaks close to my camp and one had an old branch placed on a more recent break. I'm ruling out hoaxing because no one else knows the location, it really gets me wondering what natural source could have snapped the trees? I've seen some unusual breaks in the trees such as X and W shapes so it boggles the mind. There is an intelligent force in that location because of all thats happened and there is also the audio recordings. When I look at each individual piece of evidence you can perhaps dismiss as natural or coincidence but not everything happening in the same location
I have the same or similar jacket to you....British SAS ? mine has a huge hood..military kit cannot be beaten...eBay bargains are plenty..thumbs up for the videos and cordage my friend 🙂👊🏻
My jacket is a soldier 95 smock if I remember right. I think they advertize as SAS purely for marketing, although special forces probably wear a wide range of military gear. You can't beat army surplus, its hard wearing and reliable.
I went out last week lookin for some weird activities.In the morning I looked in my shavin mirror & almost soiled mesef!!!Psychic happenings man!!!
The strange going’s on in the woods Damian is You yer daft bugger.
You did record this before this lockdown dint yer. 👍🏻
been missing you mate
Thanks for your patience, I will be out in the next few days time
I'm pretty sure the black "UFO" object is a passing caravan or motorhome, passing left to right in the shot.
edit: that road is narrow and bumpy (if it's where I think it is) so a large vehicle would be moving slower than a car,. hence less motion blue than the faster red car.
The bodywork is white and is overexposed, which is why it's not clearly visible, but the dark glass window is. The window has an unusual non-rectangular shape so could be a clue to identifying the exact model of vehicle. To the lower left of the white area you can see two rear light clusters, which appear as mainly red splodges.
The link to the photo is bad, btw, but I think the video still is enough to see that it's a van, caravan or motorhome.
I will try and sort the link out. I think it could be a passing vehicle of some sort but its high off the ground and would only be the rear end of it showing, possibly a tailgate?
I've fixed the link to the trail camera pic. drive.google.com/file/d/1v1vi3K9QpZiIm0L5HRI13XiwbvhB_--J/view?usp=sharing
@@Fell_Wanderer thanks for the new pic link. The full pic gives some clues - even the temperature is a clue that this is a summer pic.
OK, here's what I see from a photography perspective:
The camera is mainly aimed at trees, relatively dark in colour and in the shade.
It;s a sunny day, I can see bright sun in between the trees.
I see sky, bertween the trees at the left side, but it's pure white and completely washed out with no detail.
The camera, which probably only has auto-exposure, has adapted to the mainly dark shaded side of the trees. It therefore can;t cope with bright parts of the scene like the sky, which was probably blue, given that it's sunny. The side of a caravan is also white and bright, even the shaded side, compared to the shaded side of the trees, so, like the (probably) blue sky, has just recorded as pure white "off the scale" with no detail. Against the overexposed sky, this makes the caravan/motorhome/van appear to be the same as the sky, so you can;t make out the edge of it at all.
The dark tinted window does record OK though, which is what the black shape is (I think, anways).
Any white or very light vehicle bodywork (like beige or cream) would appear as white due to the autoexposure causing over-exposure.
It;s 20C, so probably summer, making a caravan or motorhome more likely than the depths of winter. It's sunny too and I don't see tons of clarts on the ground haha,
The effect could be made worse by the fact that the trail cam would have no infra-red filter on the lens, to enable it to have "night vision" with active IR illumination. This gives a ghostly-like fringing to brightly-lit objects - search for infra-red digital photography to see what I mean. The daylight photos take on a surreal spooky look with unclear edges to objects. Yes, it;s daytime, but the IR fringe effect still happens as the lens has no IR filter, unlike a camera lens designed for daylight.
I haven;t found a caravan or motorhome with an exact match, but heres a roughly similar pic - you can see it's a high vehicle, with a similar shape dark window.
www.e-c-f.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Caravaning-info_Reisemobile_Teilintegriert_image01.jpg
Motorhomes can be bloody tall - some are 12 foot +high. I think a caravan is a bit less likely, because a big/long one would be a handful on that bumpy road and probably ground out on the dips.
You know something, since you mentioned motorhome and I've looked again at the pic. What you said makes sense and I can now see a motorhome outline which looks white but over exposed around the dark window area. The red streak looks like vehicle lights. Motorhomes are tall which explains why the black window look like its above ground and surrounded by sky. I couldn't understand why the white area around the window looked slightly different to the sky which makes sense if its a white vehicle with blown out highlights making it look like the already over exposed sky. I know there is a layby close by and the trail camera has captured other vehicles so makes sense its a motorhome or caravan parked up. Pictures were taken during warmer months and location is the gibbet road to Elsdon and I know sometimes vans park there overnight. I should have realised earlier the UFO had terrestrial origins but couldn't see the obvious in the picture. I've updated the information in the video description to explain the picture isn't a UFO and is probably a motorhome or caravan. Great work, I think you've solved it, thank you.
Hello Damian!
I am glad to see you BACK OUT, after all our crazy plague restrictions!
Has anyone given a reasonable answer to what your UFO is? [an unidentified object above the road, so maybe flying!].
No one has given a reason other than a vehicle. Its clearly high up off the ground and by definition, a UFO but whether its man made or extraterrestrial, thats the question?
better luck next time dude 👍
Great video. Fab camp spot. What type of axe do you use. Need one for my logs for the log burner. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks Steve
I have the Hultafors Classic but the models have changed now and I would say looks like the small forest axe. I also have the Hultafors trekking axe which is the smaller hatchet
Thank you 👍
Fantastic video. Damian, what camera are you filming with now?! The quality is superb..
The cameras I use now are, Panasonic G9 and DJI Osmo Action, filmed in 4K, edited and graded in Premiere Pro. Thanks for your comment.
At the 2:51 mark it looks like a red/burgundy car (zafira shape) with the boot hatch open. Shame the link is just for the one pic. was hoping to look at the others in more detail. Can't wait to do some exploring in my area!
I included the red car to show how near the road was, I dont think the black object was another vehicle because it was to high off the ground. if you want I will email some more game camera pics. fellwanderer01@gmail.com
I know what that object is you captured - It's a greater spotted Bullshitus Maximus. Good vid though, enjoyed it. Keep up the good work :-)
Rather than say the picture is bull or fake, however you want to describe it. At least explain your conclusion or offer evidence to why you think the ufo picture isn't legit
@@Fell_Wanderer probability is on my side.
Don't suppose you would have a link for that cordage you used damien or what to search for, glad your back at it I noticed your editing has excelled too well done mate 👍
Hi Chris, thanks for your comment. I bought the cordage off Ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/strong-black-1kg-Twine-spool-for-garden-or-DIY-use-UK-manufactured-recycled/272796064908?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
@@Fell_Wanderer found it buddy that's perfect 👍
Glad to see you back wild camping but where was Christopher, leaving you all alone in the spooky woods.
The next camp camp at Harwood will probably be with Christopher in the next few days. ATB.
Whooooop whhoooo👣👍👍👍👍👍👍
I take it the wife kicked you out because it looks like you have moved in 🤣🤭👍
Listen, I'm no Tree Hugger and I understand that you mean no harm, but you really ought to tell folk that watch your videos that lashing to trees long term (I mean more than an overnight wild camp) is not recommended and is bad for the tree. There are plenty of articles on the Internet which will enforce my post here. Better to use Y supports for your horizontal or as your cordage is so cheap, cut it off after each camp and reinstall it next visit. This is a very good reason why the Forestry Commission will take such camps down. Years ago when I was young and naive, I thought I'd be clever to mark my own path through Forestry Commission land so tied some small bits of brightly coloured string at head height so I could follow my own off grid path. I then had to go overseas for a month or so and when I returned and went to find my path, the young trees had grown over the string effectively damaging the tree forever. Also, those that affix with wire to a tree are an Arborist's chainsaw nightmare in later years as the wire will have long rusted away, but not that left inside the tree which has enveloped over it. All the best, no offence intended and I have just subscribed. You Know It Makes Sense.
The cordage isn't tight around the tree, the camp will be taken down and removed long before the tree is damaged.
Sneaky fart at 21:22 🤣
It was beavers with ladders! ;o)
