A good video dealing with a topic that is rarely dealt with. The series Alone is an interesting example of what you talk about, where some excellent survivalists often tap out early because they can't handle the loneliness. I have found great worth in praying during times of stress, so great to see you highlighting the bible in your videos.
Yes! Great example thanks for adding that here. Horace Kephart is also an interesting study, being the opposite of what you mention about the 'Alone' folks who leave early. Shows how people who have different backgrounds and circumstances deal differently. I agree on prayer for sure. C
I’ve found a lot of participants start out talking about how much they love their family and how much the money will help them. Makes sense. Until it gets too difficult and their main reason for leaving IS their family. Missing their kids or being injured in a way that they worry about being able to provide for them in the future. I’d never even attempt anything like Alone, but if I did, my heart would ache for no one.
I’ve spent a large part of my adult life alone in the woods. Separated from family for extended periods of time . Doing jobs that any mistake could end my life instantly . I never took pictures of my family with me. I made myself stay focused on my job. And off work during down time, stayed in the moment of where I was and what needed to be done . Adjust to changes on the fly. And stay creative with your thought process in problem solving. But most of all, enjoy the little things. Be content, and at peace with yourself .
Good morning Clarice. Your topic this morning if perfect. Here in the US we have had two massively destructive hurricanes back to back. Four states have been subjected to horrific destruction. People, if they are still alive, went from being happy to having nothing or very little in a matter of just a few hours. How do you prepare for such an event? Sadly most people have no clue what to do or what to get so when things go sideways they are reasonably prepared. It's not what you have physically on hand that will keep you alive. Its what you know and your belief system that determine if you will live or die. Reminding yourself to keep hopeful and remember the skill sets you can rely on until someone can find you and evacuate your out or at least provide you with supplies. I remember a saying we have here. When you are up to your armpits in alligators, it's hard to remind yourself you are there to drain the swamp. Being prepared is not just hoarding food and ammo. The ultimate Prepper is prepared Spiritually, Mentally and Physically. I live in North Carolina, I live a few hours away from the destruction that happened. The weather is changing here and getting colder. I am actually considering buying and loading up with needed supplies to drive up and deliver those supplies to people who are in need. Please keep me in your prayers that God will guide me in what and how to go about this. May God continue to watch over you, your family and friends. Keeping you safe and healthy.
I have watched so many vidoes of That destruction that happened there...and my heart go's Out To All of you. I'm from south africa and i don't Think in my wildest moments, what That people must have gone through...and our goverments is Always The last to Do Something..but The First to take "the credit " . So many people has lost their lives and everything They worked and live for...their livestock, their pets, their loved ones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for What You guy's Do for each other. May you be Safe Through Everything you do and i Know...our Saviour and Creator Will send His Guardian angels to Watch over you.
I found the USA to be an amazing country when there is a disaster.. Do it Robert - go and deliver supplies to people that are suffering after these disasters.
@@RockyDempers Politicians all around the world must all be exactly alike. They show up, do a photo op (so they can say they were there) then point out to the rest of the people how much good they are doing without actually doing anything. People all around the world must have compassion and empathy towards each other. They have to be ready to stop what they are doing to help their neighbor because at some point they will need help themselves. The people, fellow Americans, are the real hero's in everything that is happening here. People from all across America are here or trying to come here to help. Rocky, you sound like a really good person, even though we may never meet I encourage you to prepare for that day when you can help others. I also pray that God will watch over you, your family and friends. Remember for every situation we get into, God will provide you with a way to get out of it. You may be the exact person who will be in the right place, the right time to help someone in need. There is a motto I learned when I was in the USAF that I try to live by ever since and now I share it with you. That Others May Live.
@@raftguy The USA IS an Amazing country. But don't sell your home country short. America is only a place or location. The people who live here embody the same spirit as people all over the world. From the sounds of it I would say in yourself as well. This is the difference between good and evil. Carry on Mister.
Disaster really tests the mentality of those in it, but we shouldn't underestimate what goes through the minds of those in the surrounding areas, 'it could have been me', 'it might be me next time' and 'that was me last time' all have an impact on us. If God has put it on your heart to help then heed the call. Next time you need help, He will make sure you receive it. C
Hey Clarise! Good point you made! For me there are loneliness and solitude. Sometimes you need to be alone to get your mind straight. Even Jesus had His moments of solitude for praying and connecting to God. But when everything goes south we need to remember of what the Lord says in Isaiah 41:10. God bless you!
Hi Paulo! Thanks for your comment I love how you distinguish between solitude and loneliness. Even Moses had his solitude stints. For anyone else reading this I'll post the scripture below, thanks for suggesting it. C Isaiah 41:10 AMP [10] ‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’
Hi Clarise and greetings from the USA. Thank you for another great video. I agree the topic is little covered and this may be the first time I’ve seen someone discuss stress and loneliness in relation to the wild. I think your approach of first realizing they can/will happen at some point and thus prepare for those emotions to come, is spot on. Much like preparing for an adventure by packing tools for fire, shelter, food and water. Finally, welcome Hunter! I am looking forward to seeing him grow and join in your adventures.
Thanks so much for your comment and for always supporting the channel. Hunter has already doubled in size but you'll see all of our adventures right here! C
Thank you for covering this topic. I actually find so much relief being in the woods that I often get an emotional outpouring, which can sometimes be overwhelming. I see it as a good thing/sign of healing but I've never heard anyone discuss emotions before as part of their experience.
I gotta be honest. The wilderness is the opposite of stressful for me. It's like freedom of existence for me. It's exciting and calming and comforting and challenging. Yes, I suppose sometimes a little bit lonely, but I'm the only person in my family that's really at home there.
Thanks for this! I'm also at home in the wild but I've found that depending on what I'm dealing with back home I can have more or less down moments. Stay safe, C
I agree fully .. and I've spent months in end out in the British Columbia wilderness , 8 month winters in the high mountains .. I do take my dogs, .. but it's survival if the fittest.. and a strong mind is one thing that really needs to be fit. It's not for the faint of heart or mind .. but it is it can be a constant form of meditation
I've been up here 8 years this November. Nope, People are STUPID. ESPECIALLY SINCE 2020 . I get my socializing when i go into town Once a month. TH-cam keeps me company. Another good Video young lady 👍🏻
I found your comment kind of funny, "People are STUPID" .... I live in the US, the people I meet here I think actually are in one of two categories. 1) A smart person will change their view if new information contradicts their belief. 2) An indoctrinated person lacks this ability. They are conditioned to dismiss facts. The US is being torn apart by the action of these two groups working against each other. It may be the same in other countries?
Yeah well I do think it will get worse. Good that you have so much perspective. Glad you get some company from the locals now and then. Stay grounded😎👍 C
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. I really like your videos. Always stay safe out there. Take care of your precious daf. 😊
Hi how are you my name is Tony this is the first time that I have seen your videos and yes I'm already subscribed I would like to commend you for your philosophy towards people I am also an outdoorsman in 99 percent of the time I am by myself I don't feel lonely but it was very nice of you to share your wisdom and philosophy with other people may God bless you be safe and I will see you in the next video pleasant dreams
Thank you so much for posting this video. This is excellent counsel and advice, however, I strangely found it more applicable to my everyday life. I’ve lived in some austere places(Afghanistan for one) and have seen a lot of pain in my life and those I’ve loved, particularly very recently. It was your book recommendation of “Where is God When It Hurts” that really touched me. I think it will finally give me some answers to questions I’ve had for years now due to my life. I know this is a video about surviving in the bush, but for some of us the real world is harder. I say all this to say you had a bigger impact than the scope of the video. And I think that’s a good thing. It has been good for me at least. I just wanted to express some gratitude to you for it.
@@thecoolyank Hi there! Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad that you've found practical advice and counsel here. Do pray about feelings of loneliness, God can heal the hurt, doesn't matter where it comes from. Bless you and may you have peace in your solitary moments. C
Yes keeping busy when your by yourself is important. I like how you discussed the different levels of loneliness. If someone knows it’s only for a few hours or a few days then it’s not hard to keep busy and wait it out. In Canada if you are stuck in the snow and the temperatures are extremely low, just stay put. If you don’t have the tools or shelter to survive then you may have no choice but to walk out. I try to tell friends and family to keep a supply of items on there vehicle just in case. The biggest thing is communication. In the cold your phone battery will die quickly . Have a way to charge your phone. A way of making fire and a knife will e life so much better. Knowledge is east to carry so learn how to survive where you live. Great topic Clarise, I always enjoy watching your videos.
@@LiveReady yes I have been working on a new winter shelter that will be used for ice fishing and winter camping. Will be heated with a small diesel heater. Will show you when it complete.
Mentality is very important to survival or coping with loneliness or stress. I have two "go to" techniques depending on the situation. Firstly, dealing with loneliness. I was taught to learn a poem off by heart. It has to be a poem that means something to you. Mine is daffodils. If you find yourself lonely or just stuck in poor weather, then recite your poem. Mentally it can take your mind somewhere else. It also serves another purpose. If you take a fall and hit your head, recite your poem. If you cannot remember it, then you have self-diagnosed that you probably have concussion. The second tip is humor. Having a "group clown" is a preference in forces groups because they can make a bad situation tolerable. As an example, I once took a long, steep, rolling fall but I didn't hit my head, I just knew I was going to hurt once it stopped. My reaction once I had come to a stop was to say out loud, "are we there yet?" I hope this helps.
I’d have to say after watching this and reading the comments this is a difference between men and woman. We’re different and handle things differently. Maybe start realizing that in stead of trying to make us the same.
Yes, we are different in many ways. We start with the same basics but approach and handle the same situation differently. Clarice isn't trying to make us the same. She is pointing out the basics that effect us all. She is offering us a starting point to work from. For example, we all get hungry, A woman may fix a salad while a guy will grill a steak. That is not to say a guy can't have a salad or a woman can't have a steak. Our approach to solving a need or a want can be the same or very different. That difference isn't just being a man or a woman, it is based on how we are raised, what we are taught and believe in, who influenced us growing up as kids or adults and conditions we have already lived through.
@@willanderson5088 interesting, my past experiences with people like you is they have to confuse the conversation by adding something unrelated to make their point. I might have shown an interest in understanding more about Phycology, what ever that is, I even looked it up but there is no such word. However when you then suggested I study overseas because I am confused about my gender because I am American. I can tell you I am a Christian American and there are only two genders. I know what a man is and I know what a Woman is. I know exactly what we stand for. I also know who you are, you"re either a liberal or islamic. People like you need to be segregated from the rest of the world and never allowed to interact with the rest of us, ever.
@@robertedwards7749I can sometimes get a bit riled up at the comments too. Then the Holy Spirit reminds me that everyone responds differently to hurt and sometimes that is defense, knowingly or unknowingly. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you supporting the channel. C
I'm alive 😂 it was fine actually but it did make me a little worried that the weather had changed for the worse. Pity I didn't stay but I also don't regret making the call to leave when I did. C
👍 Very interesting topic that is not addressed much, if at all. The advice you have given would be useful in the wilderness or in a large city; loneliness can impact people anywhere. Thank you for tackling this topic. On a much different topic I noticed during the video you placed your hatchet in the belt sometimes blade facing forward, sometimes facing back; was there a reason for that, do you have a preference?
Hi there! You're right loneliness doesn't distinguish the place. As for the hatchet, suppose it's just how it was in my hand. I'd think if you're not using it much facing back is out of the way, but if you're using it a lot facing forward allows for smoother use. Your thoughts?
@@LiveReady Sadly, I am a creature of habit. When carrying on my belt I always have the blade facing backward so my hand/arm does not catch on the blade. Given that I always replace the mask on the hatchet when not in use my practice has no practical purpose. Old habits are hard to break. 🤷🏻♂️ Your system seems to have a more practical application. Thank you for your thoughts.
I find the loneliness of being by myself in the wilderness for extended periods of time (a month or more) to be stress relief. Even as a hunter, you can find a sort of friendship with some animals of the wilderness and interact with them. It just takes a lot of patience and time, depending on the animal.
@LiveReady mine was with Tuffted Ear Squirrels, birds, and 1 mule deer. The most unique was the squirrel, as after a while, it would enter my tent and wake me up intentionally and sometimes just hang out and nap inside. It frequently ran to me on occasions when chased by another squirrel.
That's aloneness not loneliness ,, definite difference ... And with your trusted dog as best mate and all the sounds and life in nature ,, you are not really alone ..
Interesting way to think of it. I suppose it depends on your circumstances and how you deal with them, but judging from the comments I think there are many folks who agree with you. C
If i aint a yellow snowball i say i can keep rollin into town. But if i am stuck, go chop some wood, get fire going. Talk to dog, i had one and he talk back, he knew when i was funning at him, he was a serious one, see you in heaven charlie.
I was lying on that stretcher in the morning thinking if I get up I'll be the last bit of weight that held the tent in place and it will go flying. Prayerful day😅
People who get stressed in the wilderness are mostly newbies who don’t know about how nature really is. Loneliness will always be a feeling for those who are not comfortable yet with themselves in the wilderness. After you get comfortable and have actually logged some time the feeling will be much less but it varies from person to person.
I see a lot of too-cool-for-school comments. Truth is the psychological battle can kill you. I used to go out and get myself stranded on purpose. My first practice was a pronounced sit back and relax response. I spent my first moments evaluating my situation. I also went into a sub-hibernation conserve energy mode.
Pretty amazing, you're one of few people who deliberately takes the time to evaluate their situation and get your mentality right. Probably why the subject doesn't scare you into self-defense. C
A lot of the stress coming from adversity is due to never having experienced adversity, not knowing what you are capable of doing. In the current era, many simply have never lived life without the technological devices and every day conveniences we enjoy. Naturally, finding yourself without them is stressful. Do yourselves a favor, take a day to experience life in the outdoors, without all of the gadgets and devices that you take for granted. Take it upon yourselves to deal with a disruption in your ordinary circumstances. Better that you learn to cope with this of your own volition than to be thrown into it unknowingly.
she picked up a sharp stick and & side stepp it then that then work Around it behind it & still sticking it haha me my self would of ran for my life haha
back to that bear part after ive ran for my life see that tree area behind her bearrs will give up more trees mor confusun tying for the beer im sore this channel will explain how too -)
Simple, just be a man haha. Kidding aside, don't know I've ever been stressed in wilderness. Most of my free time is spent outdoors in some pretty rugged places from Mexico to Alaska. Probably hardest is the heat in the desert though. Was carrying gear down from a climb a couple months ago, got attacked by bees, ran out of water, and got hit by a heat wave. I lost 10 lbs that morning between that; climbing and carrying all the gear. Was glad to get back at camp. I do find these catchy titles a bit odd though but I guess you have to get hits somehow. Probably less stressed in wilderness getting attacked by bees then a day at the office.
@@LiveReady I try to put some of them on my TH-cam channel. Most of the videos are in Sonora desert by Mexico. Your channel is very well edited. Do you do all the production yourself?
I am ortodix christian,and proficy also tell that antichrist regime will be afther big war,we will be chased like cattle,but my country have a lot of wooded area and mountains.
Hello! I'm not a psychologist, I have a background in the medical field and it exposed me to psychology. I really love psych and I think it's important that we pay attention to it! C
Really being alone is stressful 😂😂😂. It's bliss. No annoying whining people. You go in to the wilderness to get away from stress. Your not making any sense to me.
Precious blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole World. Legit miracle prayer. Fun fact I was faith healed as a child, performed an exorcism, n had an Angel stand outside our front door for three nights in a row. Lol enjoy the adventure. By April 2025 we will have level 7 earthquakes

If you cannot remember it, then you have self-diagnosed that you probably have concussion. The second tip is humor. Having a "group clown" is a preference in forces groups because they can make a bad situation tolerable. As an example, I once took a long, steep, rolling fall but I didn't hit my head, I just knew I was going to hurt once it stopped. My reaction once I had come to a stop was to say out loud, "are we there yet?" I hope this helps.
Hi there! Yes and thanks! Your suggestions are great and I'm sure plenty of others will find that too. I hope you were done rolling😅
Its with me aii the time so is yahweh. I will be with you always. Stephen brisbane aus
Thanks Stephen! Hope you've been well. C
I’d have to say after watching this and reading the comments this is a difference between men and woman. We’re different and handle things differently. Maybe start realizing that in stead of trying to make us the same.
Yes, we are different in many ways. We start with the same basics but approach and handle the same situation differently. Clarice isn't trying to make us the same. She is pointing out the basics that effect us all. She is offering us a starting point to work from. For example, we all get hungry, A woman may fix a salad while a guy will grill a steak. That is not to say a guy can't have a salad or a woman can't have a steak. Our approach to solving a need or a want can be the same or very different. That difference isn't just being a man or a woman, it is based on how we are raised, what we are taught and believe in, who influenced us growing up as kids or adults and conditions we have already lived through.
@@robertedwards7749 basic understands of phycology would help you and her. Study it for a while. Maybe abroad too since the US is confused on gender
@@willanderson5088 interesting, my past experiences with people like you is they have to confuse the conversation by adding something unrelated to make their point. I might have shown an interest in understanding more about Phycology, what ever that is, I even looked it up but there is no such word. However when you then suggested I study overseas because I am confused about my gender because I am American. I can tell you I am a Christian American and there are only two genders. I know what a man is and I know what a Woman is. I know exactly what we stand for. I also know who you are, you"re either a liberal or islamic. People like you need to be segregated from the rest of the world and never allowed to interact with the rest of us, ever.
@robertedwards7749 thanks for your insights and for adding your comment! C
@@robertedwards7749I can sometimes get a bit riled up at the comments too. Then the Holy Spirit reminds me that everyone responds differently to hurt and sometimes that is defense, knowingly or unknowingly. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you supporting the channel. C
Thank you for the follow up to the snow video. I was wondering what happened afterwords.
I'm alive 😂 it was fine actually but it did make me a little worried that the weather had changed for the worse. Pity I didn't stay but I also don't regret making the call to leave when I did. C
In their underwear. I was a public speaker. You are never alone. We all have a guardian angel
Mt man here watching 👍👍
Heya! Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the comment as always😎C
Thank you
@@4StonesHandcraft you're welcome 🤗
God bless your Hunter.
👍🏻💯
😎😎 thanks!
👍 Very interesting topic that is not addressed much, if at all. The advice you have given would be useful in the wilderness or in a large city; loneliness can impact people anywhere. Thank you for tackling this topic.
On a much different topic I noticed during the video you placed your hatchet in the belt sometimes blade facing forward, sometimes facing back; was there a reason for that, do you have a preference?
Hi there! You're right loneliness doesn't distinguish the place. As for the hatchet, suppose it's just how it was in my hand. I'd think if you're not using it much facing back is out of the way, but if you're using it a lot facing forward allows for smoother use. Your thoughts?
@@LiveReady Sadly, I am a creature of habit. When carrying on my belt I always have the blade facing backward so my hand/arm does not catch on the blade. Given that I always replace the mask on the hatchet when not in use my practice has no practical purpose. Old habits are hard to break. 🤷🏻♂️ Your system seems to have a more practical application. Thank you for your thoughts.
I find the loneliness of being by myself in the wilderness for extended periods of time (a month or more) to be stress relief. Even as a hunter, you can find a sort of friendship with some animals of the wilderness and interact with them. It just takes a lot of patience and time, depending on the animal.
Hi there! I've had a strange similar experience with a beetle years ago. Thanks for adding your comment and your insights. C
@LiveReady mine was with Tuffted Ear Squirrels, birds, and 1 mule deer.
The most unique was the squirrel, as after a while, it would enter my tent and wake me up intentionally and sometimes just hang out and nap inside. It frequently ran to me on occasions when chased by another squirrel.
That's aloneness not loneliness ,, definite difference ... And with your trusted dog as best mate and all the sounds and life in nature ,, you are not really alone ..
I live in the city and alone 99% of the time. I'd rather be in the woods alone 100%.
Interesting way to think of it. I suppose it depends on your circumstances and how you deal with them, but judging from the comments I think there are many folks who agree with you. C
True. I’ve heard New York City is the loneliest place in America.
If i aint a yellow snowball i say i can keep rollin into town. But if i am stuck, go chop some wood, get fire going. Talk to dog, i had one and he talk back, he knew when i was funning at him, he was a serious one, see you in heaven charlie.
Copy that. Thanks for the suggestions alpha.
when i saw you in that snow i just prayed Jesus
I was lying on that stretcher in the morning thinking if I get up I'll be the last bit of weight that held the tent in place and it will go flying. Prayerful day😅
she is talking about normal ppl. problems i dont have those kinds of thoughts
Can you make a video on dealing with/ and overcoming fear (whether it be in the forest, against a predator (2 or 4 feet/ human or animal)?? 👀
@@venetiakelley hey! Thanks for the suggestion I'll add it to to do list for future videos
@ Thank you 🙏🏽 God Bless and Safe Travels.
People who get stressed in the wilderness are mostly newbies who don’t know about how nature really is. Loneliness will always be a feeling for those who are not comfortable yet with themselves in the wilderness. After you get comfortable and have actually logged some time the feeling will be much less but it varies from person to person.
I see a lot of too-cool-for-school comments. Truth is the psychological battle can kill you. I used to go out and get myself stranded on purpose. My first practice was a pronounced sit back and relax response. I spent my first moments evaluating my situation. I also went into a sub-hibernation conserve energy mode.
Pretty amazing, you're one of few people who deliberately takes the time to evaluate their situation and get your mentality right. Probably why the subject doesn't scare you into self-defense. C
Take up carving
A lot of the stress coming from adversity is due to never having experienced adversity, not knowing what you are capable of doing. In the current era, many simply have never lived life without the technological devices and every day conveniences we enjoy. Naturally, finding yourself without them is stressful.
Do yourselves a favor, take a day to experience life in the outdoors, without all of the gadgets and devices that you take for granted. Take it upon yourselves to deal with a disruption in your ordinary circumstances. Better that you learn to cope with this of your own volition than to be thrown into it unknowingly.
Thanks, I spend lots of time outdoors without gear or caring about tech. I'd definitely recommend it too. C
What about that bear I saw in the background, did he just go away ?
she picked up a sharp stick and & side stepp it then that then work Around it behind it & still sticking it haha me my self would of ran for my life haha

Hey,
Your videos are nice 👍
I have a small question, Have you ever ran over and kill any snake with your vehicle ?????
Do you live in America? Cause I have no knowledge of snow ❄️ in S Africa 😊❤
Hey C. Long time no see girlfriend. Man i need to catch up with you. Hope all has been well with you and yours.
Yes it has been a while! I've been good, keeping busy. Hope you have been well too.
@@LiveReady participating in this strange thing called life. 🤔
Simple, just be a man haha. Kidding aside, don't know I've ever been stressed in wilderness. Most of my free time is spent outdoors in some pretty rugged places from Mexico to Alaska. Probably hardest is the heat in the desert though. Was carrying gear down from a climb a couple months ago, got attacked by bees, ran out of water, and got hit by a heat wave. I lost 10 lbs that morning between that; climbing and carrying all the gear. Was glad to get back at camp. I do find these catchy titles a bit odd though but I guess you have to get hits somehow. Probably less stressed in wilderness getting attacked by bees then a day at the office.
Sounds like quite an adventure! C
@@LiveReady I try to put some of them on my TH-cam channel. Most of the videos are in Sonora desert by Mexico. Your channel is very well edited. Do you do all the production yourself?
Can you tell me what christian confesson are you?
I am ortodix christian,and proficy also tell that antichrist regime will be afther big war,we will be chased like cattle,but my country have a lot of wooded area and mountains.
In psychology... are you an mental health worker or what I wish had someone like in life as a friend or partner
Hello! I'm not a psychologist, I have a background in the medical field and it exposed me to psychology. I really love psych and I think it's important that we pay attention to it! C
Stop

Really being alone is stressful 😂😂😂. It's bliss. No annoying whining people. You go in to the wilderness to get away from stress. Your not making any sense to me.
You've never been out there and had to survive off the land. Being alone wears on you when you're trying to survive for any length of time.
