- Trying a superlight tent, sleeping mat & bag - but the mat broke as soon as I lay on it. I really like the bag though! Hoping to try it on a multi-night trip soon if the weather warms up a bit 🙏

"Feels really floooofy" so cute 🥰
Fear not, your Thermarest now has a built-in pillow.
👍.
Your ability to remain upbeat, whatever happens, is delightful.
I love the built-in pillow-supplying feature that kicks in with the new sleeping mat. So brilliant how it appears upon first lie-down.
If you go to a car accessory shop and buy a small aerosol can of "Plus Gas" and squirt it in the joints of your trecking poles this will release them. It is specially for seized joints and rusty nuts etc. It is different from WD40 which is a water displacement product..hence its name ! The fajitas made me salivate... a few jalapeños to top off would have been a bonus ! Another fab vid.
I watch every one of your vids and it still makes me giggle when you jump up and pop off at the end 😃.
Yes. Claire is somewhat magical!
Each time i watch your videos im learning more about how to endure the elements and the videos are very relaxing and you're so charming and personable
Hi Claire! Thank you so much for these videos. You and the locations are beautiful. The challenges you face inspire me to face my own as a disabled person. You are amazing!
Keep going 💪 thank you for the kind words :)
You always bring the best foods with you!
Fun time! That is always the challenge of tenting and hiking, the comfortable sleeping pad!
👍,,
Outstanding. You’ve helped me make a number of really good gear choices. I appreciate all the work you put into the videos. ❤
Thanks so much, glad they can be of some use, happy camping 🏕
Claire cruising her way to this years awards!
really!! the best outdoor channel.. Loved it
Thank You Claire. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos and to see your smile. ♥
I remember on the Homemade Wanderlust channel Dixie tried the Uberlite right after they first came out 4 years ago or so and hers and her mom's both broke the first night.
👍,,
For more head/internal space I use a stick equal length as the height of the guy line anchors on my tent so when i tighten the guy line its propped up & pulls level & pulls tent outward not downward
👍.,
Always keep all your gear inside your shelter. Boots especially! In my case as a service person it's a necessity but in your case it will prevent you putting on wet or damp boots in the morning. I'd put my boots in a bag and inside my sleeping bag so I didn't have to put cold footwear on in the morning. That is bad for morale when you get up and have to put cold boots on.
Those Fajitas de Pollo get the Tex-Mex seal of approval🥇
You are one of the highlights to the week, love your work.
Hehe thanks, they were delicious 😋 have a lovely weekend :)
@@WildBeare And you as well
Yes, and they are best if you warm the tortillas a bit just before you add the food. Heating any bread product softens them by making trapped water come out of the material. This makes them roll a lot easier.
@@WildBeareget your beaver out slag!
My summer weight sleeping bag came in handy recently. Was out stargazing and the temp dropped down in the 50s F. I got in the sleeping bag while laying in a lawn chair and was suddenly in my own little comfort bubble surrounded by the woods and the stars.
You have the best early morning neighbors visiting you! So glad the super lightweight equipment worked out for you.
I'm pleased to see someone else in the UK using S2S products, I love them.
Loved the deer and the stick. Thanks for the video.
Camping light freeze at night.
You should comsider taking a liner silk/fleece, in case it does get cold to give you that extra protection and increase the warmth range of the sleeping bag.
Think of it like layers.
There's no doubt a liner helps when used like that, but it helps even more if the sleeping bag is inside the liner, the reasons being that it provides an extra barrier between the lofted insulation of the sleeping bag and the cold night air, which is trying to un-loft it especially if it's only a budget stitch through system bag which loses too much warmth through all those seams, and not a box walled quilted one. If you can obtain a larger size liner it works best as it won't compress the insulation. If it's too snug it won't loft so well . Liners can be a nightmare for restless sleepers when they get a bit tangled so eliminating that uncomfortable nuisance is a bonus too. It's counter intuitive to use it this way and of course its no longer a liner, but it is a useful way of getting the most warmth you can from any lightweight sleeping bag, especially if it's only a stitch through job. A bivvy bag can usefully obtain the same outcome. So that's another reason to carry one, To sum up its more comfortable and a good bit warmer, and I,ll trade the, hygiene benefit,for a warm n comfortable night's sleep any time. Good sleep is the foundation of a good trail day.
@@arthurrsaker8893 - As I'm one of those restless sleepers you mention (who recently bought a liner, but has yet to use it), thanks very much for this suggestion! Makes a lot of sense!
The sleeping bag seems good 😊 so tiny packed up
Yes so tiny isn't it 😍 smallest I've encountered, excited to use it on a longer trip :D
Good day my friend. Your video is very good, Thanks for helping me relax after a tiring day at work.
You brought a smile to my face , in the garden in Scotland, smell the barbecues, but miss the camping ,,.
Being able to cook at your campsite and not having to worry about bears poppin by to knick your food must be nice!
You say that, I have had a wild horse on the search for muffins stop by and ruin a tent in England
,,👍
@@1990SammieJget yer tits out love.
Haha yes! We have it ridiculously easy here in UK, predator-wise 🐻
Been around bears all my packing life, and never had one visit me anywhere around meal time.
Had the same problem with their thickest mat...this doesn't surprise me at all Claire. Glad you're hilighting the matter
Great video as always Claire. I appreciate your hard work. Thanks😊
Hi WildClaire! Just found your Videos and I admire your confidence and good vibes in Solo camping. Its also a dream for me and you inspire me even more. Much love and stay safe ❤
I’ve got quite some experience camping and hiking. But this video made it very clear I’m a lousy ‘outdoor’ cook. 😉 Loved the video Claire!
Floofy... Cracks me up every time! 😂
love the way you explain every bit off kit thank you
I love your spirit. I love how you love the little things . I live in Kentucky USA and we have Great camping too.
Loved watching this and has inspired me to try wild camping (well bike packing) but need really lightweight kit. Thank you 😊👍🏻
Aw yay, this sounds like fun, happy bike packing :) 🚵♀️
I have a sea to summit sleeping mat and it is amazing. So warm! Honestly only downside is that it’s a bit narrow but that’s on me for choosing the mummy shape rather than the rectangular one!
Hey there Claire :) Great seeing your superlight gear setup here. All of those things really packed down incredibly small! I'm glad that you're loving the S2S Spark... it's an awesome lil' bag for sure 👍 The Uberlight pad... not so much 😕 And ya just can't beat the trusty ol' Lanshan for weight, size, and price 👍 Really enjoyed this one! Congrats on 200k by the way... well deserved!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend :) Stay wild.... 🐻 John
Hey John! Thanks so much, 200 is a bit crazy I can't believe it 😯 yeh really liking the bag, hoping to take it out on a multi-night before the summer is over, if it ever warms up a bit haha! Crazy cold wet summer. Hope you're good friend, thanks for watching my lil vid 🙂🌿 have a lovely weekend ~ Claire
@@WildBeare Always a pleasure Claire! 😊 The 200k (well 203k now, haha) is very well deserved my friend! You make absolutely stellar videos that bring joy to a lot of people :) I'm doing good by the way (thanks)... hope that you're doing well also! Have an awesome week! -John
I am 6' 4" and 220 pounds so finding appropriate kit that fits is always the priority. I just have to accept that weight and bulk comes with the territory.
Nice video, lovely surroundings, and an impressive meal. Top job 😊
Ditto.
I can squeeze in smaller tents diagonally but sleeping bags are nearly impossible to find - ex army in the biggest sizes just about fit but they're very much made for longevity rather than weight 😂
@@daemonharper3928 I use Snugpak military sleeping bags with the expansion panel, so they (just about) fit around me, but they take up a ton of room in a rucksack and they certainly aren't light....
Hello and my thanks for your bright tip´s and outlook on camping.
I´m old now, yet it´s only when your old that you find idea´s of drifting so appealing.
At least I thought of all those times when I have driven further than I expected or maybe it comes
down to those thoughts of solitude that are appealing? It´s taken a few years to calm down enough to even
entertain the idea not feeling guilt from my now selfish lifestyle.
I now live in Sweden, so am more Swedish. Yet have had only stress in my life so far.
Your thoughts of letting go and being able to moderate a practical packing, were inspiring.
I´m interested in both the idea of scooting off with just enough to make it all seem easier.
So I will follow your steps for a while and see if you are a kindred spirit after all.
Thank you for both your wisdom and cooking tips. So much seasoning, no wonder weight was an issue! Ha ha
Keep warm
I've had similar on the trekking poles after I took them in water and tiny bits of dirty got in between the sections. Try soaking them in the bath (warm water) and if they come unstuck wash the sections to remove any dirt particles. As always great video production and it's nice to see the wildlife over night :)
Thanks Rob :) Mm I tried putting frozen stuff on them but cold didn't work, maybe warm might have. I got them unstuck eventually with pliers but the surface was rough and water damaged so they just kept getting stuck, I ended up replacing them. Hope you have a lovely weekend 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare If it happens again (or if you still have to poles stashed away somewhere), you can try to take some very fine sandpaper to the surface of the pole to get rid of the oxydation. Try to do the same with the _inside_ of the top part too (without losing sandpaper inside ;-)
Thank you for your videos I like how you tell wot your equipment is and how you use it thank you a gen 😊
My wife and I have 5 acres of land in the Manx countryside which includes an acre of woodland. You are welcome to wildcamp there if you fancy a budget trip to the Isle of Man.
Naaaaw you make me want to go camping tonight , you always make me want to camping , thank you Claire . Thank you so much for sharing your floofy adventures.
Have a floofy weekend! Happy camping :)
Claire, I've also had troubles with those poles that twist to extend or collapse. I've since gone to lighter weight carbon fiber poles (I use Black Diamond brand) . They come in different sizes and you select what fits your height and hiking gait. They collapse down like tent poles folding over each other, and have a carrying bag, which you can leave behind if you want to minimize weight even more. When you unfold them, an extension comes out of the handle and locks into place to hold them extended. You push a button to collapse them again. I've had my pair for 10 years with no problems.
They sound really good, might look into those thank you :) hope you're having a lovely weekend 🌿🐻
the disappear at the end is wonderful 😀
I guess taking a thick fleece with you would extend the temperature range of the sleeping bag and wear it in the evening outside if it gets unexpectedly cool. Its not always possible to perfectly predict weather and there is always a chance of a sudden cold front passing over at altitude.
High Claire. Been watching for a while but first time commenting. I use a sheet of thin insulation under my mat. It's foam lined foil both sides. Folds or rolls up. It's brilliant I can lay on that alone and not feel ground chill. Enjoy what you do ❤
I have the Lanshan 1 pro too, decent little tent. There is a loop on the top of the tent that you can use to suspend from a tree or ridge line. Useful when you have no pole or don't want to use the pole.
,👍
Ooo yes I see that, good option to have that :D
Hi Claire, a simple trick if you forget your support or pole and cannot find a stick, is tie a ridgeline above and tie the apex guy to the ridgeline direct then tie a second line to the guy to tension it by pulling to the tree nearest the entrance,
or use a light karabiner on the main ridge line, tie the apex guy to the karabiner, set the tension by tying another line to the karabiner and pulling towards the tree nearest to the entrance and tying it off.
There are other methods but i do not want to bore you or others. Love your videos and work. Take special care, safe trails, tight lines.
The beautiful places you visit are superb really stunnin, I really enjoy the kit an pros an cons of it really really handy😁 very beautiful person in mother nature. In my world I'd thought 3 season was king but you show many other ways. Plus I'm going to get myself some sundick's 😂
Thanks so much! I was going to buy Thermarest Uberlite, and now I don't have to. Thanks again for your real world experience, always so useful!
Lifestyle and consumer advice with-in-tent. Loved it!
Tip: Convert to Fahrenheit. You'll be a lot warmer. 20 Celsius - brrr! - is 68 Fahrenheit - toasty!
Thanks for the video…plenty warm here today in Wisconsin USA 91 degrees Fahrenheit 32.78 Celsius …stay safe!! Always enjoying your content !! ( sleeping 💤 under the stars weather )
Summer has been very strange in Europe. Heatwaves in the south, very low 20s max in the north. The forecast for Saturday here in London is a maximum temperature of 17C. In August!
Merci Claire, it’s so helpful to have real life testing and results of camping gear. And the big bonus is to see this gear tested in such lovely locations. You continually inspire me to reconnect with nature and the beauty of this planet. Merci beaucoup
Nice video enjoyed watching it.👍👍
Hi, I have used a tennis ball with a hole to protect when using sticks, love your channel. Stay safe 🇺🇸❤️
Just binge watching while I walk on the treadmill 😂 Love it as always!!
Nice little summer tent..does the job..got me excited about my trip and adventures in two weeks time.
Fun! Thank you for sharing Claire! I could almost smell and taste that food….👍🏻👍🏻
Good stuff. An honest review too. I have a NeoAir light I have so far fixed 4 punctures in 7 trips with it. When it works though I can sleep for a full 12 hours comfortably.
Thanks for the video demonstration and pleasant commentary. Your effort to prove the human condition of survival is not easily swayed by the nature’s harsh weather is admirable. After all, there is no such thing as bad weather just poor planning and poor gear. Seemingly, super light backpackers want the super light gear without the worry of gear destruction. That is laughable. Nature shows no mercy to the unprepared. Nature’s tooth and claw will find a weakness in gear and exploit it. While hiking, my pack has a happy supply of gear. Certain survival items like tents, packs and sleeping bags must be high quality. Often, high quality equals more weight. For me, to live another day in safety and comfort, I will carry the extra weight for peace of mind. Be well. Wishing you peace, safe passage and good fortune ahead. Happy Trails!
Feels really "fluffy", a perfect description! Love all your adventures. Take care.
I believe Claire prefers "floofy".
Thank you so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction and raise money for his treatment, but so far not very successful(hu
Hi Claire,
You once agreed with me on the saying “trek light sleep cold”, very important to test/debug your gear locally before you depend on it in the hills. Very important lesson for your viewers.
Keep up the good work
Graham
Thanks Graham! Ooh yes always like to test it local first :) hope you're having a great weekend :D
Looked fun and delicious meal there…Have fun stay safe.
Love wild Beares...
I was just rewatching one of your old bushcraft videos and loved it. It would be cool to see something like thst agein 😊 looks like hard work but s lot of fun too ❤
Good Video about lightweight Equipment and you Show Well the Atmosphäre when Camp in the forest
I used the uberlite for over a year I also use a light af mat so not had any punctures but on my last trip 1 of the panels popped like yours did I think the little extra weight of the xlight is worth it just for the extra robustness.the sleeping bag looks great and very small pack size. I use a quilt so that packs very small and good down to -1
Mm looking at the reviews it seems to be a common problem. A bit surprised that it happened as soon as I lay on it but glad that I wasn't out on a mountain trip, wouldn't trust it out there. Totally agree about the Xlite.. just 120g heavier and not failed me yet.
Ooh fab, I really want to try a quilt! Love the look of the enlightenment equipment ones :)
I've had an uberlight pad for over a year and so far no problems...
@@WildBeare I think the problem is if 2 much weight goes on 1 end or spot then the weld in that area just can't take it but at least you get a good warranty with thermarest so that will replace it
The best pitch(tautest) of the lanshan youve done... and it was with a stick!!!!!!!!! , nice one! ATB
Great save using the stick when the trekking pole failed on you!
You're a beaut making beaut clips. You make me appreciate living in the bush, as I take it for granted at times.
Really nice video :D i love that sleeping bag light and smal when packed :)
I had baffles burst in two XLites (both replaced, no questions). XTherm hasn’t let me down.
Im a dude and the fox screams always scares the flipping life outta me lol Claire dunno how u do it , damn girl u got some guts , good on u 😊😊
Looks like a lovely wee adventure to try out new kit.
Hello 👋 Claire, thank you for sharing another outdoor camping adventure. You always do a great job of filming. Sorry that I missed your dinner invitation featuring Wildbeare Fajitas. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 🤗
Hey Ronald! Oh I sorry you missed it too haha, they were really delicious 😋 Hope you're having a nice week :)
The lovely lady of the woods and hills .
Such great viewing always.
Magical Claire jumps out of shot at the end ,, where does she go 😀
I don't think anyone can look better with messy hair and in the woods at the same time. Always a pleasure watching Wildbeare
nice review. A Korean camper did a review of her gear and how it has changed in the last 2 years. Both of you were very honest and that is what people need, not paid endorsements
I own 4 lanshans so I love these tents... I do have a Uberlite but don't like it and well..never used the bag but looks like a great one.
Nice video. Maybe you can explain the fascination with the Lanshan tents. A lot of people seem to use them, but the problem with rain is often pointed out. It beats me why you would want a tent that has problem with rain. When it comes to the sleeping bag, I have several of the Sea 2 Summit bags. I'm also a very cold sleeper and they make a good job of keeping me warm. Last year I did however try to sleep with just a down puffy blanket and found that to be even more comfortable. To my surprise it did a better job of keeping med warm than the Sea 2 Summit bags. The blanket I have is a Easthills Outdoors 1 Person Down Puffy Blanket 137x203cm, 650 fill power, 500g. It will keep me warm down to around 5C when paired with a mat with a good R value. I'm guessing it's because I move around a lot in my sleep as well. 🙂 Something for you to try?
Keep up the good work with the vids!
I Like the exped Mats with.5 years guarantie.have the Red one with integrated pump for seakajaking or cycling the yellow one for hiking
I learnt. As long as it works, it's ok if its alittle thin
Great review and I could almost smell those yummy fajitas! Looks like the deer was hoping for a cup of tea. Thanks for all your hard work producing these fun videos!
Hi, followed a link from a friend her. Very interesting video, thanks very much. Kit is SO much lighter and more efficient than when I used to go out and about. Loved the morning clip with the Deer.
Great vid! It's good to hear about the sleeping bag......I've not used any Sea to Summit gear either, so bit of an eye-opener.
The Sea to Summit Spark bags are great lightweight bags, I use the Spark 3 all year round and just double bag it up in winter with my summer bag when the temperature heads down below zero.
I had the same problem of water damage with expanding poles. But only once. I then carried a very small bottle of penetrating oil on every trip! It works! WELL, it worked for me always going through boggy bits!
Seriously, fajitas? Yum! You always have something amazing to cook up on your trips. I want to with you for the the good food, and of course amazing company. Keep on trekking! Love it!❤
Thanks, they were so good :D have a lovely weekend
Would love to see your cooking clean up process
Thank you so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction and raise money for his treatment, but so far not very successful(hu
Claire it was so good seeing you out and about enjoying the beautiful woods. Thank you for sharing your different camping items. Have a wonderful day and your weekend coming up. Looking forward to seeing your next amazing video
Thank you it was a nice lil camp, hope you have a lovely weekend too :)
@@WildBeare , thank you. Hoping to go out and camp.
I see you were reading a great book. If you like that one, you should definitely read Into Thin Air. Probably one of the top 5 non-fiction books I've ever read.
I've only recently become a fan but absolutely love this! Will keep watching this :)
Great Vid!
Love sea to summit! Always quality and i use there Ember2 Quilt for 3 seasons and if needed i pair it with a spark 1 sleeping bag.
Great job getting the shot of the dear!
Just recently strolled onto your vids, these have absolutely lit up my life lately, ty for the Adventures and I'll say hello if we cross on the Welsh mountains
Were the squirrels throwing you the camping gear at the beginning ?
It was the ents.
❤Great light gear. ❤
I am not a well person I would not say life has been good to me but hey s**t happens we all cant be brought up the same way. Was feeling low but after watching your vids your bring such excitment, zest and positivity youve been a therapy
No that's just the built-in pillow unfolding! I've heard many bad things about this mat. I almost exclusively use Exped mats and my Synmat Hyperlite weighs 350 grams and has been my go-to for summer adventures now for some time. Had to fix two pinhole leaks the other day that I think I caused, but that's it so far. I used to own a Neoair Xlite but I really couldn't get on with the open sides of it. I much prefer the raised edges that keep you centered on the Exped mats. I also own a Sea To Summit Spark sleeping bag. Specifically the SP1 and SP0, now called the "Liner". The SP1 has been very good to me altho it is only for the ultralightest of ultralight trips in warm weather. Super lightweight and comfy, they make quality gear.
Yep, exactly what I was thinking ... a built in pillow .... also known as an undocumented feature 🤣
