- Day 2 of hiking Moel Siabod in Snowdonia was just beautiful, with snowy views first thing in the morning, rainbows and blue skies filled with fluffy clouds. The whole day was in total contrast to the madness of the first; heading down into a gorgeous valley, relaxed hiking, perfect weather and a lovely camp on a rocky outcrop sheltered in mossy woodland.

I never get tired of hearing Claire say ‘morning’ when she’s all snuggly and cosy. It’s so cute!🐻🤗
Never get tired of her saying "It's beautiful" - seek the good in all and appreciate
Don't ever underestimate how much an inspiration this sort of stuff is for the rest of us.
You can always see and feel how important these trips are to you and I know a lot of us feel the same. Thank you for bringing them into our homes ☺️
Thank you so much for coming along on them with me :) 💚
I suffer from anxiety and depression and your videos make me feel as though if you can tackle diversity, so can I. Thank you.
If you have wet walking boots in the morning, but dry socks a good tip is get two plastic bread bags and put them over the dry socks then into the boots. The boots will eventually dry out but your socks will still be dry! The bags weigh next to nothing and it is a good hack to keep your dry socks from getting soaked straight away 😃
Good call, I used the bags off bread for years between socks and work boots on many water logged construction sites, they have amazing resistance to holing and tearing. Always take some when hiking.
the worse the weather, the more comfortable you look in the tent. And behind the tent is beauty!
Something very cosy about being snug in bad cold weather 🥰
@@WildBeare Absolutely Alex very difficult to get motivated the next day, unless you are thru hiking long distance, because it becomes more of a habit to get up go out continue on a long journey, I found that out on a 10 day hike in Hardangervidda Horedeland Norway in October conditions in high altitudes like our snowy winter conditions, but it would rain often and the first few days motivating yourself is not easy, then you realise how much food you are carrying and in the middle of a national park 5 times the size of Snowdonia and totally remote, that you have to turn back or continue, and that time of year when you go far into the mountains there is no one nobody for days! I love this it brings out the primal survival spirit in yourself to keep going!
Young Lady you push yourself harder than some military groups I have been associated with in my younger years . You do more in an overnighter than most young people do all year . I am so impressed with who you are and what you do. You go through a lot of discomfort to make these vids . I for one appreciate what you do . Thank you for sharing your adventures with us . Be safe and stay well .
Oh Clare, always such a joy watching your adventures. You are an amazingly tough, brave cookie and always have a brilliant smile. A real inspiration to us all. Wishing you happy and safe times. Xxx
Must be really nice to arrive home after another winter adventure in the great outdoors and snuggle down knowing you have tasted the wild beauty of the mountains and been challenged in every which way 🎶
Ahh yes it is indeed :) also back to emails and reality haha
Still one of the most enjoyable trips, you can sense the in trepidation at the start of this journey, your soul was out there ! The sound track and narrative was beautiful, and captured the moment, (autumn) my go too when I need to feel warmth , Clare. ❤”bit late on this” commented on release….Charming, Canny lass
Nice so much.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your adventure. I love all the flora and fauna you record. So beautiful.
Thank you for sharing, Claire. 🙏 Very much appreciated!
It has been a real pleasure watching you grow into the adventurer you have now become; beautiful filming, very interesting vlogs , and a lovely person. I'm sure all of us are glad to see a new WildBeare posting...I know I am.
Aw yay thank you so much Mark 🥰 hope you have a lovely weekend :)
Very inspiring video. I have yet to solo backpack but this year will be my first. Thank you for always putting up entertaining videos for your viewers. Cheers from U.S.
What an epic trip that was Claire, thankyou for the armchair trip. You definitely tackled some mega tough conditions on this one, but you came through with flying colours and conquered them. You have my utmost respect Claire, you're an inspiration and a leader to others. A huge well done to you x
Aw thanks Adrian that's very kind of you 😊 appreciate you coming along with me :D happy Friday to you
I like this. it's not about how far, or the destination, but the adventures 😊
You can feel your love of freedom and the outdoors throughout your videos 👊🏻🏅👊🏻
Loving your videos Claire. They are so relaxing.
You are the picture of dedication!
Thanks for all the effort you put in to share your life with your audience. The conditions aren’t easy on top of everything else you have to think about.
Thank you!❤️
Bryan from Vancouver
Thanks for sharing another adventure with us Claire. I loved the colors in the area you were in when you got up and started walking. Looked like Fall colors. Loved the piano music. So happy for you that you get to get out there. Can't wait to see the next one. Cheers!
You never cease to amaze me, I like your spunk and attitude. I've been following your adventures for a while you certainly like adventure. Just always be very careful. 50 years ago I used to backpack to some very high lakes to fish and back then I was in me early 20's, I'm so jealou..
I absolutely love being in a tent, car or caravan when you hear the sound of rain on the roof and you are warm and snug in bed. But being in a tent if your are warm and comfy, you have the added advantage of knowing that you have made shelter for yourself and survived. Being one of the 3 essential elements to survival I guess it gives you that feeling of accomplishment.
You really nailed this one again Claire 👍👍👍😀😀😀 xxx
Aw thanks Chris, yep I totally agree, it really satisfies a primitive survival instinct doesn't it :D I love to be all cosy and hear the rain too 🌧 have a lovely week! 🌿 Claire
Love it Claire, although I must admit you had my heart in my mouth when you were crossing on the fallen tree. Well done matey 👍
Great video Claire, just the tonic for a cold winters night. Well done. Stay Safe.
Thank you John :)
Moel Siabod has been on my list for a while and this has confirmed for me I want to get over and spend a day on it! Great couple of videos
Cold 🥶 but fantastic 👏🏻 👌🏻 👍🏻 😀 thank you 😊
Thank you for watching :)
That was really brilliant Claire,your filming is just superb,the quality is fabulous to watch,so clear well done.Not gonna lie,that fallen tree crossing you done,so glad you made it across 😂😂nervous for you.best wishes.
Aw thank you Ian :) ahh yeh it wasn't high, but would have gotten a good soaking if I'd have fallen in. Best wishes to you too :D
I love watching your videos it always put a smile on my face
You are amazing really enjoy watching your adventure
Absolutely wonderful, you came through, you made the decisions carried them out and in the end enjoyed it with a sense of achievement. And on a hillside
with damp boots & clothes a few hours till the sun goes down things still to do, what comes to mind, ah yes the school run, hope you made it in time 😊,
Looked like an exciting trip. Have fun stay safe.
Amazing views! Thanks again for sharing! Def inspires me to get back out there in the wild!!
Fab video as always Claire, I was having kitten watching you cross the river on that tree mind !!
Always love your videos Claire. Thankyou for sharing
Thank you Eric, hope you're having a lovely day :D
Life is much more than computer games and reality TV. I hope you inspire many girls to broaden their horizons.
Don't underestimate the healing power of computer games when you can't face going out of the house - but if you can make that leap then, yes, nature is a stronger healer.
Really enjoyed this, you an inspiration! I have never been brave enough to go out as a lone woman, but your videos are making think that maybe I could.
You do such a splendid job of capturing the beauty of the landscape. Such a gorgeous area, but testing and trying as well...you handle it like a pro.
Wow gorgeous!!! You are amaizng, love all your adventures. Makes me want to escape as soon as I've finished watching them xxx
Thanks for another video !! That spot were you pitched was absolutely stunning !! Stay safe and take care !!
Yehh I was pretty pleased with that lil spot, out of the crazy winds too. Thank you for coming along :D 🌿💚
Enjoyed watching your adventure. Thanks for your video.
I am approaching 65, you are inspiring me to get out and go wild camping for the first time since I left the services
the great tree shuffle
Super part 2 thanks.
Been let my daughter watch your videos with me trying to get her out with me more. Got me a hammock for Christmas had her out swinging in it. Hope by letting her watch your vids she'll know its not just for boys. Lol. Love your vids.
Hi David this is amazing, bet she loves the hammock, it's my sons fav way of camping so far :) thank you so much and have a lovely eve 🌿💚
Simply georgous video 🌈
Watta DOLL!!!!
It look so cold in the tent.I enjoy your videos and good Luck to you and Happy Day
You are amazing!! I wish I had the balls to solo camp in the complete wilderness!! You're a truly inspiring lady! x
Ahh thank you, I bet you could do it! Hope you give it a go some time :D
Can I ask you what is holding you back?
Raaa Ch: Try shorter trips, in easy stages to build your confidence. A walk along a coastal path, stopping off at a cafe for lunch.
The coast is easy to get to and if you take a pair of binoculars or camera, you can enjoy the local wildlife and the fresh air.
Persuade your partner or a friend to go with you and build those memories together.
Or try a camping ground near a local beauty spot. You can have the facilities and other folks, not too far away, to ensure you are safe.
Paul Messner, another You Tuber, persuaded his wife to go Winter camping on such a site and she enjoyed herself, although she was sceptical to begin with.
Moel Siabod is a treat, well done enjoying it in that weather, love that you go off the beaten track, it’s what I always do, makes you feel like an adventurer 😊👍🏽♥️
Another great video such beautiful places so jealous lol
I absolutely adore this young lass. Absolutely enjoy the video segments. Like the daughter I wish I had. Super down to Earth.
Respect and love of Nature and Solo adventuring is awesome. You are beautiful in all ways kiddo.
Stay sharp, stay healthy, stay real. I believe in one if your segments you had a son. Have you exposed him to the wonders of time in the outdoors?
Stay well Claire. Irish Bob thinks you are awesome.
Hope to see more of your videos!!!
Love this vid Claire 😊💚
So beautiful x
Well done you x keep going your a strong lady and an inspiration
Lovely video of your adventure,so jealous 😍
Another great vid Claire exelent editing fantastic views, great music and a pleasure to watch and a smile that just melts me can't wait for next adventure thank you
Nice to see you nice back out crossing that 🎄 looked dangerous good job you did not slip could of been curtains long you were ok when you got across stay safe and stay warm blessed be
Lovely bedroom you found there, the colours were amazing. Thanks for taking us out with you 🥰
Everything beautiful and that includes you. Another great adventure and enjoyed every moment. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
Fantastic filming and editing as ever!
If my boots are wet inside, I put hand warmers in them (socks loosely stuffed in the top) overnight to dry them out a bit.
That was amazing. Thanks for taking us along. Stay well and be careful.
I am a new sub to you. Only found you 2 days ago and love your vids! I wish I could find a fine lady like yourself to do hiking and wildcamping. Keep up the good vids!
Yet again you nailed it Claire .Great filming ,great scenery and your enjoyment really comes through .I really enjoy your films .I would rather watch your adventures than any of the rubbish that’s on TV .Thanks for sharing .
another great trip out, nice one :)
in my country there are only 2 seasons, it is very cool to see winter seasons
Great stuff Claire always love your vids and adventures.. So looking forward to a year of watching keep them rolling... Your such a star.
Hi Stephen, thank you so much I'm so glad you like them :) have a lovely eve :D
The GBU clip came to mind”if you save your breath I feel a man like you might manage it” in reach I hope will never request a whirlybird💨💨💨🦑
Aloha Claire, just watched your latest vid. As always, excellent. What you do is amazing and although I say it every time, you are truly inspirational. Being out and about doesn’t always have to be about Bushcraft and survival, those skills are of course super good to have, but you also show just being surrounded by fantastic scenery and just walking in the fresh air is such a massive lift to anyone who finds themselves somewhat down and unhappy, just get out there and see how your mood can improve no end. Thank you so much for taking me out of my life for a while and transporting me to an awe inspiring landscape. Take great care and carry on camping. Aloha. Simon from Bristol. Xx
Hi Simon, ahh thanks so much, so glad you like it 😊 yehh I find it's so good for the soul to just be out in these places. Not so fussed about huge miles but just wandering about in nature for a couple days is so lovely and freeing. Have a wonderful eve 🌿💚Claire
You are truly right about out in the wilds, it is magical and removes your cares and worries for a while. A walk miles, but still don’t have the nerve to sleep out alone, “that amazes me about you”… thank you for your reply, be well, Aloha 🤙🏻
I really respect that you don’t let a bit of shite weather stand in your way…:)
Brilliant
Thank you for your video. I hope the weather improves for you.
Stay safe.
Wow you do some epic adventures! But like everyone else I was puckering up watching you cross that log! Love your work, amazing scenery.
that is one beautiful spot
Yehh I loved it :) thanks for stopping by
I really enjoyed this one Claire and you're a hero for camping out in such filthy weather at this time of the year! ☔ I haven't been able to go camping for the last few years now due to lack of transport and your videos are ace!
You make it look easy, I couldn't cope with the long nights this time of year... or the cold and wet! Respect 😉
Thank you for your wonderful videos and your enthusiasm. I don't have the opportunity to adventure in terrain like yours but enjoy that which I have. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for coming along on them with me :) ahh yeh I love a night in the local woods just as much as the mountains and high places, any nature is good nature 💚🌿 Have a lovely eve! Claire
@@WildBeare : Claire, you might enjoy the blog of another You Tuber. His channel is called, 'Simon a Bloke in the Woods' but he does a lot of camping and kayaking videos and gear reviews.
He has just uploaded a video of a walk along part of the Norfolk coast, with lots of seals sprawled out on the sand. I'm sure George would like to see them and as it is flatter terrain, there would be less risk of him falling and injuring himself, so you could both enjoy watching the wildlife together.
The seals looked very comical.
Your videos are always so well edited, I think a lot of your subscribers would love to see how you edit them and choose the music to accompany them, how you choose the area to explore etc. Good luck, take care of yourself and I look forward to your next adventure, wherever it may be.
I really enjoy watching your vids such beautiful places you do too good weather and bad weather you keep going are these in the UK I would really like to visit these places
Awesome! Your enthusiasm is infectious - can't wait to get out myself. Thanks so much for uploading. 👍😀🌲🐻
Thank you so much Nick, hope you get out soon :D have a great eve 🌿💚
I can't believe you crossed that tree! Crazy person you are 😂
In bed not well with a lemsip then seen this and felt warm and cozy suddenly 😀
Plus c'est dur, plus c'est beau 😍
Très vrai 💚🌿😊
yet another beautiful video,from the beautiful lady you are x
Aw, thank you :)
Once you've acquired the skills to survive in the wild, you discover that you can thrive in the wild.
Great video you made the landscape more beautiful than it was keep up the 😊😊
Aw thank you Tony 😊🌿
Your courage is incredible, I’m quite ashamed of my fear when I watch you 😂
This was a beautiful video, very nice scenery and a few scary moments(crossing on the tree!) good job👍😄🎩
Thank you Jon, yehh it was a lovely relaxing day compared to the previous one 😃 have a lovely eve :) Claire
I loved the beginning of the video. I caught myself laughing out loud when I realized that red burrito had eyeballs 🤣. You are tough my friend. I can't find but maybe a couple of my guy friends that would hike and camp, much less in shotty weather. I know I could find more female friends that would but that would be hard to do where I live. Small town = big rumors.
Another awesome video!
Fantastic tenacity! Great series! Really enjoy your outdoor adventures and this one was especially dear. Take care of yourself!
Awesome adventure Claire, and really well edited too 👍👏
Thank you Mr Bulldog :) have a lovely eve 🌿💚
Another great video, honest as always! I love looking back on my experiences as good times always outweigh not so good times. Isn't life great
Supercool video, really enjoyed it! Had a nice 'chill out' feel. Loved the colours across the landscape and the timelapse shots
Absolutely beautiful colours you’ve captured on your video xx thanks always for sharing your adventures…. Makes me want to wild camp next month now ha! 🤩
That second day....after a wild camp when you don't have to rush home very rare for me but the best feeling, check the car is still there , dry clothes and off exploring that second day no feeling like it ...all the best marra stay safe 👌 🏕
Yehh I love it, and always super pleased to see the car's still there 😄 you too, have a lovely weekend :D
Getting up early after all that to drive 4 hours and then do the school run… The more I see, the more amazed I am. Please keep up the good work and keep the beautiful content coming. George is lucky to have such a skilled, energetic and adventurous Mum! I recently completed Winter sleep systems for my boys of 7 and nearly 4. Next trip they’re coming with me, whether they want to or not! 😂 Seriously though, they always want to come as well. Now I can safely bring them, no matter the Season. I look forward to how they’ll learn to appreciate the significance of a hot brew and hot food. None of this rejecting a beautiful home-cooked meal that goes on at home! 😂
Respect for crossing that log. I would have fallen off and injured myself for sure
Well done ,oh the joys of a warm car ..stunning footage ..
Thank you :) Yehh, I'm always pleased to see the car's still there after a couple nights too, so far so good
Have tried taking a plastic bag and a couple of handfuls of silica gel(the cheapest way to get it is cat litter) put your wet stuff in the bag with the silica gel and then you can either put it in your sleeping bag with you (which would be the best way) or just seal the bag up and your stuff will be a lot more dryer than you would have before and only for a few extra grams
