Where would we be in this world today with-out you. You have shown us in many ways a new way to live in the world outside. Our lives are changing each day with what is going on around in this world today. Your an inspiration and have inspired so many to go and do the things that you do. I am not in good health but next year shall see a new me God willing.... Regards Mick from Hampshire... x
I absolutely love watching the videos you create Claire, i binged on your channel last weekend and i loved every second of it, you are so funny and its great to see you out and about having an adventure. such an inspiration to all of us to get out and do more. Please keep doing what your doing, its perfect! if i was to be having a bad day i could not think of anything better than to get one of your vids on and watch you swoosh down a hill, get a mooooooorning or a hello wild ones....... it calms the soul! so well done...
Good on you for trying places most people probably wouldn’t think of camping and keeping things simple. The latest and greatest equipment doesn’t make us anymore connected with nature.
If you are on a slope, put something underneath your sleeping mat to stop you from sliding down. Generally underneath your knees. Same with if you're falling off the sides, put a jacket to balance the mat.
Hello Claire.. lovely video as always and I saw the same meteor shower last week camping in the Rocky Mountains. 🇨🇦..Absolutely amazing when on top of a mountain. Keep up the wonderful vids and stay safe….Paul.
You are the only lady that never scared and you walk distance to distance in a forest that you never scared of nothing but you know what to do what not to do you know every kind of tricks that makes you out and you are so amazing so awesome I really love it
What a breath of fresh air you are, a beautiful young lady ruffin it in the wilds I totally salute you. And you are loving it, I love wild open places and proper solitude it's hard to come by now a days I use vintage ww2 equipment that the soldiers of the time would have had to use, we don't know how lucky we are with modern gear, I'm new to your channel and its great 👍👍👍👍👍
Its great being out & about this time of year as it changes from summer to autumn, different sounds, different smells changing colours a different vibe which I am sure you can pick up on. Wishing you many more nights under the stars ☺️
Do like a little hill slide don’t ya! 😅 cool little Stealth camp clairebeare, never known someone to smash up all their gear like you 😂 Look forward to the mountain one! Stay spunky 😅 x
Another fantastic video Claire. It’s great you show the bad side and the good side of wild camping. We all learn from watching your videos. Looking beautiful as always. ❤️
lololol @ 4:42 your camp reminds me of my camp in the lake district when i had completely abandoned any fear of midges with relief of extra SPACE to sprawl out in !!
That's quite an outdoor thing you've got going there Gav... If you don't mind me asking, what lead you to be out on Dartmoor that long (beautiful as it is of course)?
Hi Gav, wow that's a long time! As Stu asked, any particular reason why so long? Long trip or more of a lifestyle choice? I've not been to Dartmoor for a few years now, I recall falling into a watery hole in the ground up to my waist and it was also the first time I had to navigate out of a whiteout (somewhere around Yes Tor I believe) so it was quite an experience 😄 Thank you, so glad you like them and have a lovely evening :) Claire
Ballsy!..... I love that you just don't give up... And what was that dudey Icecream van instrument... Bet that freaked the kids out down at the campsite wanting a Mr Whippy
Just about to embark on a solo wild camp, thanks to people like you Claire. A new found passion maybe. Great footage, great videos as usual, thanks. Nick 👍🏕
Hi Nick, ahh yay, hope you have an amazing time and catch the wild camping bug :D it's always done great things for me, good for the soul and many other things 💚 Thank you
Wonderful camp Claire! Thanks for bringing us along! You provoke me to move toward getting out more. Maybe the new house will be sorted enough soon to get out for a night. Stay Wilde!
Thank you for this video. I have watched a lot off your videos.regarding sliding of the mat, it's just an idea but I came across long length thin grip matting and it might help putting it between your mat and sleeping bag.
Yeah, you'll want to bring a replacement camera and tripod for long-exposure night sky pictures. Lovely views and another amazing video. Sorry about the loss of cam and pod! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
So beautiful. Vid was nice too. I notice I repeat others... Good. First time ever to comment on anything. I watch initially for solo camping, (I just might) .. secondly for the natural beauty.. Just lovely. Thirdly the quality. Quite the pro. Ditto on the coffee comment below. Bravo Ms W. I'm thankful for nominative determinism ! Ps.. your comment on "preferring to earn" is fair comment and understandable, but trust me, Southern Belle.. . It's earned.
Another winner Claire. Love your vids; just not enough of them! Hope you can get round to another "epic" in Wales soon. Stay safe gal and thanks for making me smile, Gordon
Hi Gordon, ahh thank you, glad you still like to watch them :D The next video was shot on a welsh mountain in some pretty bad weather 😄 it's just one night though. I have a lil backpacking trip planned for late September, excited to lose myself in a wild place for a few nights again, feels like it's been ages! Thanks for watching and have a lovely eve :) Claire
What a delightful young lady. There's nothing worse than a sliding airbed when camping out, I've wound up squashed up in a heap at the bottom of my tent many times, lol. Hope you get your camera sorted soon.
I only slept on an incline twice. Never again. It taught me to set up & test the bed early - "proactive planning prevents poor performance". Great location & videoing.
Nice lil video Claire. Nice sunset view. Bummer you didn't have a good camera. Regarding the slippery "slope" problem 😁 I came up with this idea 30+ years ago.(I'm still camping at 73 and just bought a new 10x10ft silnylon tarp) I modify it to fit my needs depending on the particular trip. One thing remains constant: Whatever sleep system "components" I have selected all go inside a lightweight fleece blanket that zips into a 60x180cm "bag" This past winter I tent camped in nearby Glacier National Park in NW Montana USA(see link below). The floor was packed snow/ ice. The temperature dropped from day time of around -5C to -12C the following morning. My fleece bag contained an OLD semi-inflatable Thermorest, a 60x180 piece of "reflectorix" (similar to the one you were sliding on), and a standard 5cm thick 60x180 air mattress. Neither my sleeping bag, even the "slick" nylon taffeta one(s), nor my bivy sack(if used) slide on that fleece bag! 👍👍 Warm nights I just use the air mattress inside the fleece bag. The bag helps prevent punctures as well. Could the condensation have come from all that VEGETATION you were in "transpiring" water vapor overnight? Sorry, but I had to laugh when I saw where you pitched that tarp---that brush would be TICK CITY around here! Ticks creep me out.😒 And then sliding around on that reflectorix!! 😂😁👍👍 Love you videos Claire!! Your gettin' out there trying new things and DOING IT. Well Done! Too many folks are just sitting around "pickin' their nose" and wishing they were out there with you! 😎 Pete Pics of my campsite in Glacier National Park. Sorry, none of sleep system. :( I didn't put that together until after eating my dinner.) There are 2 video links in this link. glaciergeezer.smugmug.com/Camp-photos/n-cW5BTb/
Need more Claires in the world. Lovely vid. Just one word of advice get a flextail gear tiny pump for your mat, eventually your breath will result in a mould build up inside your mat and will ruin it. Retraced your Rhinogs two day trip at the weekend, did it in two days and one night. You were right sbout the non existent paths its was literally bearing from stile to stile. Fantastic weather though!!
Hi Claire, Sorry to hear about the breakages. If you cannot get the tripod repaired and have to buy a new one you should have a look for one that allows the legs to splay a bit wider than usual. There are quite a few out there, including lightweight travel tripods. You will lose a few inches in height but the wider base formed by the feet will give you much greater stability. I have a K&F Concept and it is excellent.
👍😊. Something I learned on a Long Weekend Tent Camp over 45 years ago .. DON'T set up on a slope. * If it is in any way possible to slide, you will. * Trying to sleep head on the down slope does not work. * Sleeping with head at the open, up slope entrance (it was an old style canvas pup tent .. still have it .. and the entrance was the only decent source of Oxygen .. 3 minutes without and .. 😏). Also not a good idea. Fibrositis in the shoulder as a result thereof, with no muscle pain medication at hand, made for a loooong weekend. Survived, but nor forgotten 😊. Take care ..
Loved your tucked & hidden away " higglty -pigglty" camp.. "They're so hilly" :-) * Love your sense of fun & adventure * Thank you so much for sharing* Broken camera :-(
I think this is possibly the wildest of wild camp spots ive seen..... None of this finding a pitch business but looks like you just plonked yourself in a bush 😁👍. As i newish wild camper i scout for hours for a pitch spot. This is amazing 👍
Great video! You're very adventurous with your wild camping and trying different locations/terrains! Great footage, looked very nice where you were staying.. (you're very easy on the eye which helps too!) lol 😉😁👍❤️💪😎🙏
Camping amidst the shrubbery?? I wonder if the shrubberies are from Roger the shrubber? Sorry, couldn't resist that MPFC reference :-D Neat little spot for sure and the view?? Amazing! Sorry about your camera and tripod.
Better to break gear than bones! Though bones do heal, and gear doesn't. I'm glad you were suitably entertained when you couldn't sleep. Hillside camping is always a bit of a challenge, but I think you handled it really well! The Kalimba is a nice addition. Some instruments take away more than they add for camping ambiance in my book, but the Kalimba is subtle and unobtrusive. Ridge lines can be a challenge for sure. I tend to use the loop-and-toggle on one end, and either a truckee hitch (trucker's hitch with an extra pass through the standing loop to prevent slippage until you tie off), or a very useful hitch called a Faramond hitch that works much like a prusik knot, but can be easily tied anywhere on a line, and you tuck the remainder of your line through the locking loop to keep things nice and tidy too. I hope the repairs aren't too costly and you have your kit back, good as new in no time.
Superb Video/vid blog as always Claire think I would of ended up at the bottom of the hill by morning. I’m excited as on Friday my new stove arrives Jetboil Minimo hope it lives up to expectations
So good to see your smiling face again . Your location for camp was a little questionable ,, but you made it work . So sorry about your equipment ,, better it broke than you . Thank you so much for sharing your adventure . Stay safe .
@@WildBeare thank you, I’m sure I will 😊 taking the watkin path to the summit then I think I’m just gonna explore on the second day, thanks for the heads up ☺️
@@WildBeare oh crikey is it really difficult? Only thing I’m worried about is my backpack is so heavy as I’m camping for two days! Only reason I chose the Watkin Path is because of the waterfalls and plunge pools so I can have a dip 😊
@@kjdempsey well the section at the top is real steep scrambling, very exposed, and there's a fair bit of lose scree. I almost turned back about 20 minute below the summit because it's sketchy as hell, and like you I had my giant overnight rucksack so I wasn't very nimble. It was far, far scarier than I'd anticipated and not one to do if you have a bad fear of heights or of falling. Having said that, I did make the summit in the end, with the encouragement of others. The waterfalls and pools are on the low section though so they're easy to visit :) Have you done any of the other paths up? Watkin is the hardest aside from the ridge scramble Crib Gogh. I've done Miners & Pyg, they're great as they're challenging but you don't feel like you might fall to your death haha
Totally addicted to WildBeare videos now. I’ve almost caught up by watching all the past episodes. Please make more! ❤️
You young lass, are an adventurous one full of imaginative spirit and joy… i wish more people would adopt your way of seeing life
Ahh why thank you :) I just like making dens really and refuse to grow up haha!
It’s just for TH-cam.. don’t take it seriously
Love your happy , inspiring content , Claire ! Thanks a mil .
It's great how every wild camp is different, different places bring new experiences
Watched loads of these videos now, can't exactly figure out why but Claire's monologue and voice does have quite a calming effect

The view was definitely beautiful! Nice landscape too. Love how quiet an alcohol stove is, absolutely silent while you take in nature. Looked fun!
No, not a chance I could handle that without a ground sheet, fair play lass, I'd be freaking out of my head🤣
I absolutely love watching the videos you create Claire, i binged on your channel last weekend and i loved every second of it, you are so funny and its great to see you out and about having an adventure. such an inspiration to all of us to get out and do more.

A cinnabar moth caterpillar!
That’s a fab spot and view, I had a worry the hump was an ants nest :(
But that’s an incredible view 😊
Very nice. Thanks 👍👏🖐️
Always a pleasure watching your joyfully presented hiking and camping adventures. The videography is quite good also.
Love watching you.
Off out for my first tarp camp in 3 weeks xx

Thanks Chris, Autumn is my fav so looking forward to the coming season :D 🍂🍁 deffo a different vibe, like nature going to sleep for a bit, I love it
Do like a little hill slide don’t ya! 😅 cool little
Stealth camp clairebeare, never known someone to smash up all their gear like you 😂
Look forward to the mountain one! Stay spunky 😅 x
Most people don’t have the courage to do what you did in this video. Good job. keep ‘em coming.
Another fantastic video Claire. It’s great you show the bad side and the good side of wild camping. We all learn from watching your videos. Looking beautiful as always. ❤️
I really like watching your tarp camping. It is so inspiring.
Thanks for making these videos
Wonderful video. You really capture the true meaning of outdoors.
Nice video , nice spot and cool little set up. Glad you didn't end up rolling down the hill . Take it easy 👍
Great to see you happily enjoying it all, set backs & breakages too. I always like to use the foam mat & self inflating mattress combo too !
Thanks Chas, oo yes it's a good combo isn't it :) I'd be a bit lost without that flimsy shiny bit of foam now I think 😄
@@WildBeare I confess I usually have a canoe to carry the load, so for me it's usually a 12 mm mat !
A fabulous effort Wildbear your enthusiasm is inspiring, thanks for making the effort and bringing us along. Harry.
Ahh thank you Harry for watching :D have a lovely eve! Claire
Some very slick drone shots, great to watch - should really show the camp set up though as idiots like me could learn something!
lololol @ 4:42 your camp reminds me of my camp in the lake district when i had completely abandoned any fear of midges with relief of extra SPACE to sprawl out in !!
Gosh Claire. . You are becoming such a hardy soul. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Enjoyable as always. Take care, and stay safe love.
Love your videos. I've been living in a tent since May and currently on Dartmoor. It's funny to watch your videos from another tent 🤠
That's quite an outdoor thing you've got going there Gav... If you don't mind me asking, what lead you to be out on Dartmoor that long (beautiful as it is of course)?

@@WildBeare ha! One of my lasting memories of Dartmoor was walking into a water hole up to my waist too... character building stuff eh ;)
Living in a tent, that is indeed something else
Wow! That is a cozy little burrow .giggidy.
I really enjoy the photography of these videos. Best watched on tv, the production quality is top notch.
Amazing talented lady. Watching is educational and such a pleasure 🙏💜
Ballsy!..... I love that you just don't give up...
And what was that dudey Icecream van instrument... Bet that freaked the kids out down at the campsite wanting a Mr Whippy
Love it! You crack me up sometimes Claire. Take care and keep doing what you do!

Hi Nick, ahh yay, hope you have an amazing time and catch the wild camping bug :D it's always done great things for me, good for the soul and many other things 💚 Thank you
You do shoot some beautiful video. I enjoyed the sounds from your instrument you were playing.
You are so funny and full of joy! Enjoying your vids!
Wonderful camp Claire! Thanks for bringing us along! You provoke me to move toward getting out more. Maybe the new house will be sorted enough soon to get out for a night. Stay Wilde!
Hi Jon, aw thank you for watching :) Hope you get out soon and all the best with the new house, sounds very exciting :D

After watching that I'm so chilled.
I think it was you playing a tune that done it.

Thanks for the reply 👍

Your videos are fascinating in that there's a level of comfort you show in the outdoors. And I love your accent! Hello from Seattle!
Well that was a treat for the eye's ' and the scenery wasn't bad either 🤗
Thank you for this video. I have watched a lot off your videos.regarding sliding of the mat, it's just an idea but I came across long length thin grip matting and it might help putting it between your mat and sleeping bag.

As a long time tarp camper, it's so much fun watching you experience this style of camping.😃👍
Aw thanks Doug, I'm loving trying it out in all sorts, they're great aren't they! I'm not so entertained by tents any more haha
Nice lil video Claire. Nice sunset view. Bummer you didn't have a good camera.
Regarding the slippery "slope" problem 😁 I came up with this idea 30+ years ago.(I'm still camping at 73 and just bought a new 10x10ft silnylon tarp)
I modify it to fit my needs depending on the particular trip.
One thing remains constant: Whatever sleep system "components" I have selected all go inside a lightweight fleece blanket that zips into a 60x180cm "bag"
This past winter I tent camped in nearby Glacier National Park in NW Montana USA(see link below).
The floor was packed snow/ ice. The temperature dropped from day time of around -5C to -12C the following morning.
My fleece bag contained an OLD semi-inflatable Thermorest, a 60x180 piece of "reflectorix" (similar to the one you were sliding on), and a standard 5cm thick 60x180 air mattress.
Neither my sleeping bag, even the "slick" nylon taffeta one(s), nor my bivy sack(if used) slide on that fleece bag! 👍👍
Warm nights I just use the air mattress inside the fleece bag. The bag helps prevent punctures as well.
Could the condensation have come from all that VEGETATION you were in "transpiring" water vapor overnight?
Sorry, but I had to laugh when I saw where you pitched that tarp---that brush would be TICK CITY around here! Ticks creep me out.😒
And then sliding around on that reflectorix!! 😂😁👍👍

Hahaha! Thanks Chris 😄 Enjoy adventuring :)
@@WildBeare 😊👍🏽♥️
Need more Claires in the world. Lovely vid. Just one word of advice get a flextail gear tiny pump for your mat, eventually your breath will result in a mould build up inside your mat and will ruin it.
Retraced your Rhinogs two day trip at the weekend, did it in two days and one night. You were right sbout the non existent paths its was literally bearing from stile to stile. Fantastic weather though!!
Well that was really stealthy camp ,tucked in between the bushes.Most enjoyable. ATB
ClaireBeare!!! Hills are so blasted hilly!!! Nice to see you made the best of a ‘sloped’ situation!! :)
Nice video! Hope you continue to enjoy your adventures! Best wishes from me and my wolf, in Notts.
Hi Claire, Sorry to hear about the breakages. If you cannot get the tripod repaired and have to buy a new one you should have a look for one that allows the legs to splay a bit wider than usual. There are quite a few out there, including lightweight travel tripods. You will lose a few inches in height but the wider base formed by the feet will give you much greater stability. I have a K&F Concept and it is excellent.
Thats so beautiful spectacular views of green scenery. Thank you for the video. ❤❤❤
You definitely earned a new subscriber, video made me smile so much. So inspiring :)
i love your British accent and your minimalist camping videos. and how very beautiful you are. and your never give up attitude .
👍😊.
Something I learned on a Long Weekend Tent Camp over 45 years ago .. DON'T set up on a slope.
* If it is in any way possible to slide, you will.
* Trying to sleep head on the down slope does not work.
* Sleeping with head at the open, up slope entrance (it was an old style canvas pup tent .. still have it .. and the entrance was the only decent source of Oxygen .. 3 minutes without and .. 😏). Also not a good idea. Fibrositis in the shoulder as a result thereof, with no muscle pain medication at hand, made for a loooong weekend.
Survived, but nor forgotten 😊.
Take care ..
Agree. Never set up camp on a slope unless it's absolutely unavoidable. Rolling down the slope, water ingress if it rains etc., etc..
Another top tip ,dont set up camp on the new forest marathon route and take lots of mushrooms🍄👍📈🌄
😃 Absolutely love your accent 👍 Really nice weekly video again, thank you
Hey,
Another great video. Looks like the SDW but stunning scenery. I am hooked on your videos :)
That was a neat little hiding spot. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and be safe.
The purple flower looked like a snow flake. Hi Claire. A new camera Claire love your attitude.
Thank you Claire for sharing this beautiful place you are camping in. I enjoy using a tarp, especially when the weather is beautiful
