Stealth Wild Camping under a Tiny Tarp in the Rain 🌦️

  • For this wild camp in the aftermath of storm Eunice, I gave my tiny tarp a try in the rain. At 1.5m x 2.8m and 260g (excl. pegs & lines) it’s a dinky lil thing, but hard to get enough coverage to keep the rain off entirely, unless you have it really low (very claustrophobic!)
    I had a lovely break in the rain at bedtime when the sky cleared and I had a beautiful display of stars, the Big Dipper right over my camp and then watched the moon rise through the trees 🌝✨
    See you next time for a luxury camp in crazy wind and rain (shocking I know), with my tent, tarp S, Bushbox and some delicious fire-cooked food 😍
    Thanks so much for watching 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

    Hi Guys! What do you think the animal was? 🦊🦌I thought a deer at first but now I'm thinking it might have been a fox. And do you think the screeching noise later on was a female fox, or something else?

    Try using a large ex agricultural fertiliser bag as a rucksack liner. It can also be used to store your stuff (rucksack etc) outside your shelter at night. Check it for any holes which can be sorted with tiny squares of Duct Tape.

  • @scottsexton2590
    @scottsexton2590 ปีที่แล้ว

    I enjoy your videos but something I've noticed is the ceiling height of the shelters,I was taught to keep the ceiling height as low as possible in cool/cold weather just high enough to shimmy into your space since heat rises and the low ceiling keeps the warmth closest to you,less draft and better rain shelter..enjoy

    You need a hex tarp for camping. The 5 sides make the length longer, more tie off points while giving you more side wall protection. Square, rectangle tarp camping is emergency style from the back of your auto. I use a tent 10% of the time now since having a hex shaped camping tarp.

Having to pack extremely light and efficient is a real challenge.

    If you want to further waterproof your dry bags or any bags get some white spirit and some ordinary clear silicone sealant from screwfix or somewhere, mix them about 50 / 50 and paint it on generously, hang up to dry for a couple of days. WIll be very water repellent. Dont panic about the initial change of colour, it will go back to the natural colour after drying

Fantastic nightime shot of the stars through the trees 👍; have experienced something similar out here in one of my local wildlife parks, except it was fireflies and seen from a small rowing boat under the trees; an unforgettable experience in this increasingly concrete and brick world. Looked just like lights on a christmas tree. Keep up the good work with the videos. ATVB and stay safe 😷😎☔...it's still our rainy season out here

    I'm so pleased that you have got a new drone after those deep fern's ate your last one, you should make a video showing us non flying folk how to use one as they look like great fun & the footage that you have posted before is brilliant.

So this one no.3 is second hand. I don't think I'd be the best person to do a drone how-to-fly 😂 I could maybe do a how-NOT-to-fly haha, or a how-to-crash-your-drone.

    That noise was a fox having his way with a lady fox. They use our back garden for the same purpose.
    Regarding ruck sacks, you should check out Tresspass if you've got one nearby. They have a lot of good value budget gear. I got their own brand 85L ruck sack last year but it's also too heavy. However, they also stock DLS stuff too. I saw one the other day in my local store, a 70L bag retailing at 70 pounds, it looked lighter and is a better design with ample side netting and side access. Worth considering.

    @teddyb4957 ปีที่แล้ว

    Think you will find it was a Muntjac deer, originally from SE Asia but introduced into the UK. They are about the size of a medium dog and their call is like a dogs bark, so often confused for dog in forests. As you correctly stated the sound in the dark was indeed a fox, they also sometimes sound like screaming babies as well.

  • @brianthesnail3815
    @brianthesnail3815 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Claire, I am really glad that you mentioned choosing kit that blends into the environment. For people that live and work in the countryside, it is rare to see them wearing dayglo colours that so much hiking and camping kit features. In places like the Lake District or North York Moors (which my home turf) where there are many hikers but the sight of hundreds of people on the hills with bright coloured jackets on a weekend really is pollution and spoils the natural beauty of the landscape that those people wanted to enjoy. It is also a place people live as well and I do think walkers need to consider what it is like to live in place where hundreds of people walk every day within yards of their home.
    The 'leave no trace' message is one that has sunk in with most people but I would add 'blend in and minimise impact'.

    • @WildBeare
      @WildBeare  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey Brian, yep I agree although it takes me time to be able to afford to change my gear to blend in more, it's the direction I want to take even if it has to be gradual. Although, there is the safety aspect in that it's safer in an emergency or rescue situation to be wearing bright colours.. I know that a lot of people wear brights for this reason, particularly in the mountains. Thanks for watching & commenting and hope you're having a lovely week :) Claire 🌿🐻

    I used to take minimal gear on hikes, like tarps and bivvies, so I wouldn't have to carry too much. But I've realised that you spend hours at camp and for the sake of an extra kg or 2, it can make the difference of being really comfortable or a bit miserable.

    Another wonderful vid. You mentioned that you might be looking at a new pack. I think when you look at most 65L - 95L internal frame packs, you will find that hey run around 4-6 pounds. Yes, I am in the U.S. and usually look at things in pounds. If I got your current pack correct (Vango Sherpa 65), it appears to be 2.34 kilograms (about 5.16 pounds). If you look at many 65L packs, I think you are probably looking around 4 pounds (which is about 1.81 kilograms). And, you likely will not have the side pockets that you have on the Vango. So, what features you want could also affect your choice. One instance is Gregory Mountaineering has their Deva series (for women) and the liters are 60, 70 rather than 65, 75 etc.). The Deva 70 comes in 3 sizes extra small, small, and medium. Eah of these sizes affects the volume and weight. For instance, the extra small is 65L and weighs 4.66 pounds/2.11kg. The medium size is about what your Vango is in weight and is 75L. And the maximum carrying load on the Deva series is 55 pounds/24.9 kg. There are also other series (jade, Amber, etc.) by Gregory with different features. Also, I think the Deva series is one where you can change the suspension system. You will want to confirm this if you decide to look at Gregory. Osprey has of course many models as well. For instance, the Aura AG 65 which has three sizes (extra-small, small and medium) and the weight is 4.26-4.42 pounds (about 1.91-2.00 kg). And their Ariel 65 model weighs around 4.8-4.9 pounds (about 2.1-2.2 kg). A third company (and there are of course many more companies) that you might check is Deuter (Germany). They have their Aircontact Lite 60 + 10 SL which weighs about 1.9 kg (1900 grams). Now, their Aircontact 60 + 10 SL weighs about 2.4 kg (2400 grams). Those are just a quick three that I pulled up (that are not ultra-light). Good luck on your search.

    a nice lean to with a porch is good in that weather for more height with a small tarp and bigger foot print and you can cove the back wall with twigs and leaves for added camo from the foot path.
    so glad you have a new drone, i was gutted when you lost the last one the night you stayed in the small cave.
    glad you are being safe in the wind un like some doing it for the views in storms.
    all the best to you and the new drone :D

    Defo a fox. Noisy throughout Jan Feb.
    I keep saying on Facebook groups, the decision to get an Osprey bag is the easy bit, the difficult bit is which one. 😂
    I decided on the Kestrel for overnighters and the Aether for multiday hikes myself and very glad I did.
    Nice video and yes you do seem to wanna be out in the rain.
    Now instead of looking at the weather forecast to see if its gonna rain I now check you tube to see if Claires going out 😂😂😂

    I’ve just picked up the Osprey Kestrel 65 which is the blokey version of the Rook. It is by far the best pack I’ve ever owned. The selling feature for me was the ability to unzip the whole front for quick and easy access without farting about through the top cover. And they come in green!

    That was enjoyable! Loved the stars in the trees! Big Dipper, my Fave! Love your music score..! Had to Sub! Nice to see more ladies out in the woods! Assuming you carry some kind of protection as well..
    I heard from other toobers about how bad that storm was...I think it came all the way from the S.E U.S.? Where I live in Central U.S. its been unusually dry barely any snow! Happy an inch today...then dry sunny and warming to 50's next week! Maybe I will work on some shelter ideas in my back yard...hmm. Thanks for a lovely little trip! Looking forward to more!

    Have a look at Aarn backpacks. They are a New Zealand product that is substantially different to other systems. I have been using them for years and they are light, durable and very comfortable. Unlike other backpacks they are kind on the knees, hips and back as they allow your back to stay very upright when carrying a load. Cheers

    Have you ever tried a military basha/tarp, Claire? I think you would be impressed with the size and quality. I use the British Army DPM Basha Disruptive Pattern Material. Great for stealth camping with the camouflage. You can also get them with the slightly lighter camouflage MTP (Multi-Terrain Pattern) camouflage. Don't be fooled by the cheap civilian copies of these camouflaged tarps, but buy the original military issue. The best quality secondhand ones will have a grade listing of 1. I have two and they are also great for ground sheets or can be joined together to create a bigger shelter. Enjoyed your videos. Happy wild camping! :)

    I love watching your videos to wind down at night and just keep them playing to fall asleep to.
    Id love to sleep in my garden but unfortunately weve had visitors from robbery scouts (they were checking if our house was worth it i guess) and im a bit scared to go out into my own garden at night :(
    I might sleep on the balcony this weekend though. I love breathing fresh air and listening to sounds and just laying beneath the stars 😍

  • @YouMockMe

    TIP.... use the tarp *upside down* & then put a stick through the loop to push walls out.
    Less cramped, less "claustrophobic". Cheers

    Hi. Just watched a Paul Messner video and a top tip he used for camp cooking was that he used baking parchment in his frying pan! He cooked ribeye and fried eggs, he also fried bacon on it too!
    He just placed the parchment in his pan (this acted like a non stick coating) put a little oil on top of the parchment and away he went. Worked a treat! it even charred the bacon 😀
    Lovin the videos, keep up the great work.

    It was actually amazing, most of the videos of men i see on youtube is when they are in rain and survival situations, or they just show you how to survive or make a fire while raining. Here you don't have it, you just have simple camping without making fire or any decent shelter. The food is there, and she has also bottled water. Some commercial about dry bag in meantime and everything is fine, no danger, no helpful survival information, just chill. I like it.
