Bad Weather Wild Camping with Budget Lightweight Hiking Tent 🌧️🍂 Lanshan 2 | Unexpected Thunderstorm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ย. 2022
- An unexpected thunderstorm meant that I had to abandon my original pitch and my plan to camp up high and exposed to test out the Lanshan 2. After making my way down into the woods, I had a bit of a struggle to get the tent up in the rain & wind, but got there in the end
The weather passed during the night, so I didn’t get to put the Lanshan through the relentless bad conditions that I was hoping to. I was happy with how it did in the weather that I encountered here, but since this video was filmed, I've been able to get it out in 2 nights of constant bad weather and unfortunately it didn’t do so well! Look out for that video coming soon! :D
Thanks so much for watching 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

#WildCamping #Lanshan2 #Hiking #BadWeather #SoloCamping
Nothing seems to bother you! It thunders - go downhill, it pours with rain, go barefoot across the river. Your attitude and confidence is inspiring. I absolutely love your videos!
Ahh yay thanks Perry, so nice of you to say :D glad you enjoy them, I love to make them. Hope you have a lovely eve! Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare love to see you do a video with prepared pathfinder
انتي فتاة قوية تحياتى ليك من المغرب مروكو
The issue with camping next to a river (for me anyway), is I'm hearing running water all night which makes me want to pee 😯 so I'm constantly getting during the night.
You'd have been my ideal girlfriend years ago !
I prefer a two person tent when I'm out solo. It's always nice to be able to bring all your gear inside if the weather turns really bad. The most important thing is that it can handle strong winds and heavy rain/snow.
I had to laugh at you running away from Thunder whilst holding out a lightening rod with a camera on top 😀
Hahaha yes this did cross my mind when I watched the footage, bit silly 😅😅
@@WildBeare Apparently you do actually get a warning prior to being struck by lightning, you feel tingly and your hair starts to stand on end, at which point you are supposed to drop to your knees and place your hands on your knees, to provide a direct path to earth bypassing your heart. Just lying flat would be more effective. I doubt this procedure was created by anyone who survived a strike. Then theres the sensible option, the one you chose, get down lower. The last thing anybody wants is to lose our lovely mountain girl.
@@darren25061965 What are the signs if you are bald like me :) Sorry!
@@vincentengland7927 😂😂😂
My thoughts entirey
i have to admire this girl for her positive attitude and give it a go mentally even in the worst of British winter weather! Few could handle this!
Big rocks on top of the pegs will help keep them in when it gets really windy, and believe me it gets really wet and windy round here. You can also tie on to large logs or wrap the lines round large boulders.
Nothing better than just getting out there, and having some fun. I miss being able to move freely, and adventure.... the whole world is going crazy, they just want us in our houses everyday for the rest of time. So--- watching videos like this is very therapeutic.
Nice to watch someone who is chilled and who's voice doesn't go straight through you
one of the best feelings in the world.. lying warm dry and cosy in a tent und listening to the rain on the tent! Stay healthy!
Great photography and editing. I am to old to hike any more so I travel with you in your adventures. Thank you.
i love how you just get out there in that horrible weather and let nothing dampen that smile. You absolutely got your reward waking up to that beautiful morning. Thanks for sharing
⛺👍🏻
Thanks Mark :D yehh it was really beautiful there, lovely lil spot, love autumn 😍🍁🍂
Something so soothing when u hear heavy rain hitting the canvas and your toastie and dry inside.
You really are an Earth child. Brilliant. ❤️
You do an cracking good job of capturing the natural beauty of that landscape with your camera work. Everytime I watch one of these videos I come away impressed by the views and how much water is flowing. The countryside in the UK lookes very nice.
Thanks Aaron, it really is beautiful! I live further south so I have a bit of a journey to get up north to the mountains, but it's so worth it. I feel at home up there. Thanks for watching, have a lovely eve :) Claire 🐻
Greetings, Claire. For soft ground & wind, get yourself 4x Delta pegs (yellow). They are amazing; not cheap but they are lightweight, albeit a bit bulky. They work incredibly well in soft ground. The drive themselves in deeper when pulled on.
I'm living my camping/hiking adventure dreams through you. Thanks!!
I truly appreciate watching you and you struggling through the worst and the best of times thank you for sharing your moments with us
Its nice to see someone else to enjoy the sound of rain on tent as much as I do. With that great smile as extra :)
This, I think, is why we love the outdoor life; bad weather turns into a beautiful morning! Love your attitude!
Thanks Martin, deffo! :D Have a lovely day
Jeeez put ya pants on :) tent reminds me of something i had in the 80's it wasn't great in the rain either. 🙂🙃😉
I think as a 63 year old man I just found my hero. Thanks stay safe from newfoundland and labrador Canada.
Thank you so very much for testing out equipment and letting us know how it fairs. Much respect from Florida USA 🌴
Another successful adventure! You're a trooper for sure. Rain camping is a challenge and you don't let it bother you a bit. Love your disappearing act at the end of your latest videos...cute!
Hehe thanks Barry! :)
Awesome adventure, Claire! You are a real trooper...I admire your courage.
Claire, you are brilliant in adverse conditions. Always prepared with the right gear. You do what you need to do to survive. Stay Beautiful, resilient, and safe.
Your Spirit is just awesome, like a new Sunshine after the Clouds break open again, love it. Thx keep it up.
Totally admire your tremendous tenacity Claire and wish you all the best on your ventures, take care 😻😻
Thank you so much, you too :D
Very brave of you hiking down with a lightning rod in your hand. Glad you made it down safely! Cheers!
Hahaha thanks! 😄😄 Yes that was a bit silly wasn't it lol
@@WildBeare anything for TH-cam! I hope your next few outings treat you with better weather. Cheers from New Mexico!
I love sleeping next to moving water, a natural lullaby😄
The sound of rain on a tent is so therapeutic. Really enjoying watching these videos
Yeah, especially on the old canvas tents, I remember having one years ago
Really enjoy watching your videos. Don’t be afraid to make them longer🖐🏽never boring you make us relax out there ❤️
Ahh thanks! The next one will be longer as its a 2 night trip :) this one came out short as I was planning to film the bad weather in the morning to test the tent out some more but then the sun came out haha. So glad you enjoy them 🤗 hope you have a lovely eve! Claire 🐻
I love your determination to force the tent into bad weather conditions to see how it holds up. That's some pro product testing right there! The Tent makers should be queuing up to get you testing their gear!
Loved the thunderstorm footage too, they sound amazing up in the hills! I was nearly at the top of Skiddaw in the lake district when I heard a storm approaching from the other side, I about turned and made a hasty retreat back down the hill. Luckily it was only a day trip so I wasn't fully loaded with camping gear but by the time I got back to Keswick, the storm had already caught me and I was drenched.
The 'un-ladylike' bit in the video reminded me of when I accidently mooned an old couple at a campsite in Crawdon (Pennine Way). I say mooned....they got both sides! I was drenched and had to get the bottom part of my wet gear off. It was lashing it down, I didn't think anyone was around. I dropped the bottom part of my gear off, pirouetted into the tent, looked up and saw the two old dears looking out the front of their camper van.
Anyhow, looking forward to the uncensored version of the video on OF! The weirdos will spend a fortune to see it! 😀
Keep up the great work Claire, it's November and the videos keep coming! You're amazing!
Daz x
Your videos make me feel so cosy and relaxed, even when you're in the middle of adversities. I love it they're really calming.
Yup, was up on the Brecon Beacons when a huge thunder storm rolled in. I put my rucksack with its metal frame 50yrds away and sheltered down in a slight dip under a tarp.
Thanks for another great video. It takes dedication to film while dealing with such weather. What a wonderful campsite. By the way, when I went to England, I learned that the ground is much softer than it is here in Norway, so it was more difficult to make the tent pegs to stick. Looking forward to your next video!
Hei Bjorn! Ahh thanks, it was beautiful wasn't it 😍 oooh interesting, it's been really soft here lately, bit of a nightmare with tension tents as the tension pulls them right out 😄
Hope you have a lovely weekend :) best wishes from England 🌿 🐻
Well that certainly looked like a wet and wild lil' adventure Claire! I'm happy that you were able to get out and enjoy the trip, as well as the absolutely gorgeous location. Your sense of adventure and upbeat attitude are always an inspiration. Glad that your tent held up in those conditions by the way. Definitely looking forward to the video that you mentioned where it didn't fair so well... I can only imagine that adventure :O
I hope that you have an awesome weekend my friend! Stay wild.... -John
Hi John! Thanks so much :) Ahh man, the next trip was brutal weather-wise, poor Lanshan got battered haha!
Hope you have a lovely weekend too :) 🍁🍂🐻
@@WildBeare Always a pleasure Claire :) Ooooh boy, if you say it was brutal then it must have been some intense weather for sure haha! Definitely looking forward to that video my friend!
That's one of the beauty of youtube; finding how others do their things alone.
Things that one likes and might not realize how many others are into, and yet there's plenty of us.
The way the adventures and experiences are portrayed, in a calm yet joyful delivery
Merci Claire
Thank you so much, yes it's so nice that we have this community to express and share what we love ☺️🍁🍂
Hope you have a lovely weekend :) Claire 🐻
Without fail, every single time you manage to put a smile on my face x
Being inside a tent you can really trust in any weather is a great feeling !
No it isn't. If it's not dripping on my face and filling with puddles then I'm not getting the true out door experience............am I?
@@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg 🤣🤣😂😂
You are bonkers and it’s amazing. Not a chance I would of stayed out 1 with the storm and 2 all that rain. Hats off to you
You are the real deal. That’s why I show your videos to my Boy Scouts. I love sleeping in a tent in bad weather. Thanks for the adventure.
Wonderful video Claire. Come rain or shine you’re out there enjoying what the great outdoors has to offer. And not phased at all. As always thanks for sharing another adventure and take care.
Wow that was white-knuckle weather! 💪😍
Been a bit like that here where I am with all the spring storms coming off the southern ocean! Love your tiptoe through the stream and the beautiful moss gleaming in the light really made me smile!
Thanks Evelyn, it was a beautiful lil spot to end up at 😍 Hope you have a lovely weekend 🍁🍂 Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare thanks, warm weather is back... And I'm going for a hike tomorrow! 🌞
I'm always impressed by how engaging your videos are while out solo. It's like we're hanging out and we're right there with you. And the drama! This was a fun one. As someone just getting started making adventure films I think we are kindred spirits in our style (or at least that's what I tell my newbie self)
Heyy, aw thanks! I do enjoy hanging out with the camera haha.. all the best with your adventure films, hope you have the most fun with it :D
@@WildBeare thank you!!
@@WildBeare Will do! Looking forward to catching your next one!
Your videos are like therapy for the soul. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Claire for the adventure, so pleased the tent did the job. You looked lovely and warm inside the tent. Looking forward to the next adventure. Stay Safe.
Cheers John! Ahh my lil Lanshan didn't fare so well on the next trip unfortunately! You too :)
I've been out of action for nearly 3 months with a back injury and your videos (and those from several others over there) have kept my spirits up. Can't wait to get back out hiking and camping again once I'm fixed up, so keen to go! Thanks Claire, love your adventures, what an awesome spot to pitch!
I hate being cold or wet! Hope you recover soon!
She is tough!
Hi Dave, so sorry about your back, hope you're fixed up soon and can get out again. And thank you for the kind words 🤗 Have a lovely weekend :) 🍁🍂
Eight months since you posted this, Dave, hope your back recovered. Mine was injured in an RTA and the docs told me I'd be back to normal in twelve weeks or so. Twenty five years later and I'm still in varying degrees of pain 24/7.
@@anthonydoyle7370 Hi Anthony, unfortunately I got back to work and into action again but had another setback with an aggravation of the injury to my back (3rd one!). I’ve just had a cortisone epidural injection in my lower back (may need more) so hoping this will settled things down long term so I can get fit and active once more… Sorry to hear about your issues, it’s no fun when your body lets you down!
Difficult to understand why you haven’t been sponsored already by many outdoor equipment manufacturers. You really put your gear through extreme-challenging situation’s.
Ahh thanks, I get offered sponsorships but I don't take them as I don't feel I can give an honest opinion if I'm being paid.
I do enjoy trying gear out in bad weather :D this tent got absolutely battered on the next trip bless it, haha! Thank you for watching :) 🌿🐻
Indeed, strong moral principles..., which are always obvious here in your adventure videos. We all can appreciate that. Thank you!
That’s great to hear Claire as a viewer you don’t mind seeing gear reviews but difficult if it’s paid and you never hear a bad word said. You could maybe accept the gear to try and review on basis your review is what it is positive negative or indifferent and they don’t pay you. Maybe you could give away some of the stuff in viewer comps after you have finished with it or do something for charity with it.
@@ianhoughton3349 Thanks Ian, yes that's an idea :) I haven't even accepted any free stuff for well over a year for the same reason.. it still feels like I would have to moderate what I say about it, so I'm preferring to just buy my own gear and do my own thing currently
Hmm ?🤔? I seriously doubt that it would happen with $4.00 Walmart equipment - (Just saying !*)
It seems like lately I've seen several TH-cam campers, who when confronted by thunder and lightning, drive on uphill like they are immune from wind, rain, and electricity. As someone who has experienced an extremely close lightning strike, it was wonderful to see you use your common sense and try to put distance between yourself and the storm. Please keep showing smart, safe outdoor skills that we can all learn from.
i quite enjoy a good thunderstorm but yes , once you have one zap the ground within a stone`s throw it tends to make you VERY humble indeed , once your heart rate drops below 180bpm you notice that weird smell....... it`s actually terrifying and NOT something you want to change the odds on
Thanks Jon, ahh man that must have been terrifying!! 😰 I'm so glad you were OK!!
I would love to camp out in thunder if I were down low and fairly sheltered, but intentionally heading into it up high is madness in my humble opinion. I was camping with my son in the mountains at a camp site a couple years ago when a thunderstorm hit.. we were in the valley but could see the lightning hitting the peaks & ridges around us, over & over.. don't fancy it one lil bit haha!
Thanks for watching, hope you're having a nice week :) Claire 🐻
What a beautiful environment. Can't wait for the video of the other 2 trips. My and my son's Lanshan 2 have held up amazingly, not a drop inside after 3 days of wind and rain. We've got a couple of winter trips planned and I have 100% faith in our tents.
Worried by possible lightning.....while holding a camera....mounted on a lightning rod. What could possibly go wrong? 😀
You just make me smile! Just a good lovely vibe you create, and that young lady is a terrific quality to have.
I love the sound of the river. So relaxing. Nowadays I don't get to do hiking thru jungle and woods etc. When I miss the sound of rivers and rain I play the rainstick which has such a calming feel.
We won't mind you being unladylike just as long as you remain such a ray of sunshine.
It’s more of a self respect thing pal, obviously you won’t mind you weird one I mean wild one 😂
Well done Claire
No matter what s if store for you you get through it and I'm sure people watching will gain strength from you
Yet another beautiful vid of nature and you working with what you've got
Good advise to have more tent pegs
Love your work ❤️💪🏴
Aww my beautiful friend what an adventure!!! Such a beautiful video as always, just loving all the autumnal colours and always inspired by how you just embrace whatever the weather throws at you!
I’m getting better at this and learning to love it and embrace it come what may, makes you feel so alive!!!
Love and miss you, I hope you have a great weekend xx
Excellent real world test of kit being sited ,set up and overnight experience given in a entertaining and cogent narrative.
Thanks for sharing your insights with the demonstration Claire
Way to hang in there Claire!! You are an inspiration to us all. ❤️ love from Texas
Aw thanks! Much love from UK :D 💚🌿
Another fun adventure, being barefoot is underrated!
Please don't cross rocky streams in bare feet. The risk of a foot injury is too great.
@@whippetsnippet Yes agree, practicing caution is wise to mitigate and manage risks. I only cross water barefoot when it makes more sense and I can see the bottom of a shallow stream (and when I have hiking poles/stick for added stability.) For beginners or those not use to being outdoors, I definitely don't recommend being barefoot.
Everyone else including me would just stay home it it’s this wet, but you get out there and do it and have a smile on the whole time. Great video thanks for sharing
Lady Claire of Wilderness, that was an adventure! Thanks once again for showing one can enjoy nature no matter weather conditions ☔🔥🌳🌲🏕
I really like how you are truly putting this tent through the weather tests. I have a new tent for winter and I'm very excited to see how it (and I) handle snowy, cold conditions. I've shied away from winter camping in the past, but I love watching winter camping videos. This will be my year to get out there and test my gear to see if it works well with the elements. I look forward to your future videos with the Lanshan 2. You really do make it look like a snap to get out and enjoy yourselves, even with challenges that nature throws your way.
Thanks so much, I've been having fun testing this tent out.. I used it on my next trip which was 2 nights in terrible weather and it didn't fare so well 😬 so I have invested in something more solid (and safer!) for winter
Hope you have fun in yours :D I'm really hoping to get out in some snow this year too. I've been wild camping for over 5 years now and still never had a snow camp
Thanks for watching, hope you're having a lovely week :) Claire 🐻
A very positive lady, no complaining just dealing with each issues that arises. ❤👍
Best thing about horrendous weather is getting dry, cosy & in shelter. Makes you truly appreciate the simple things in life like warm, dry socks 😂 I wouldn’t be rushing out to buy this tent however. I have had my Vango Banshee 200 for 9 years now and it’s amazing in all weather in the most rugged terrain, mainly the cairngorms. HighLy recommend
I did a lot of solo camping when I was homeless your videos make me want to go camping again thanks Francis cheers
Stay safe Claire, glad to be along with you for the journey as always..... 🤓
Yay! A new Claire adventure! Boo! It's only 7 minutes long... Love your vids, they bring back memories of some of my trips❤️
Ohhhh Claire, you often have rough weather and yet you still continue to deliver a fantastic episode. You know I watch every episode and sometimes more than once, and I enjoy 100%. Thank you for all your hard work. Please stay safe lol weather like that is rotten. 🤗
Aw thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoy them, means a lot :D I will, hope you have a lovely weekend :) 🌿🐻
"Holy Moly" as you say, this was a tough one. you are soaking wet! We love these videos and your wonderful presence in coping with all sorts. Thank you so much.
Well done you for of carrying extra pegs to be able to triple peg the tent down in that weather ..love the videos Claire
I love your videos. Rain and snow camping videos give great joy. Keep em coming dear!
Magical Claire. I’ve subscribed to you for some time now and followed you through your good and bad times. May I just say the the difference in you since you have gained confidence and grown in stature. You hit a problem now, you find a way around it, in your earlier videos you could sense your insecurities at times, sometimes your indecisiveness would come through. Not anymore, you’re confident in your decisions and have started mastering your craft. WELL DONE You. You’re a true inspiration to any young female who may be going through a tough time, your videos show their is a way forward for them not to let their fears control them. Put simply, you’re an honest humble lady, whom shows that you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it. 👍😊
Your fantastic! 👍 Thanks for sharing
Thunderstorms are the one thing that give me the heebee geebee's when outdoors, still it brought you to a wonderful spot to pitch ! A lovely film as always.
Thanks Garry :) yehh I'd love to camp in thunder low down in a forest, don't fancy it up high & exposed one lil bit 😄
Thanks for watching, hope you have a lovely eve 🌿 Claire 🐻
Amazing videos of your adventures, Wildbeare!
I just happened to watch them today. It gives a sense peace especially sounds of rainstorms. Great to see nature lover like you. It's inspiring and thank you. Looking forward to see such more amazing videos.
Thank you, Wildbeare, Please keep the videos coming.
Hi Claire fantastic video you are an inspiration well done keep it up and and most of all keep safe,
Beautiful colours. Would have been worried about falling branches. I love the rain on the tent - I would be hours taking photographs at that river. Another heart pulling video.
Great test of the tent Claire, Great shots of the hills and surrounding streams, Thanks for sharing.
Your editing skills are better and better every time I watch one of your videos. You’re very funny and a real inspiration for a fellow woman who hasn’t solo camped yet but plans to. And your hair is just 👌absolute goals, has to be said!
Hellooo, ahh thank you so much for the kind words, means a lot 🤗 This is great news! I'm excited for your first camp, please let us know how you get on :D it's good for the soul, I find. And thanks for the hair compliment, I'm quite lucky in that it looks best if I literally do nothing with it.. thank goodness 😄 Have a beautiful weekend Sister 💚🌿🐻
Magnifique les couleurs de l'automne, c'est pour moi la plus belle des saisons !..
I have to admire your soldier on attitude. Good of you to make pitch in the rain and carry on with your test. We’ve all done it when we had to but it’s always a struggle.
I can’t say I’m a fan of one person tents. I camp from a motorcycle so I always have lots of stuff to pile into the tent.
Glad you didn't stay up on the open field. The place you camped was really nice and the stream would have put me to sleep and the rain does too. Glad you stayed safe and had a nice relaxing night. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Stay safe and have fun 😊 🤗
You made it though. It looked a little dicey there for a few minutes. Tent at least held up. No leaks. Nice trip.
A very brave effort in that mad weather! Thank you.
Its inspiring to watch you out in all weather, most thruhikers I'd wath in the U.S whinge about the rain, U.K and Ireland we have to embrace it or stay in,..... '' Theres no such thing as bad weather only improper gear''
I really like the terrain there ! Lol. You are the coolest wild one Claire ! And such a pretty lady ! Good luck in all your adventures. Wow the wind is moving right along !
❤your posts. Enjoy walking & experiencing the natural world in a modest way.
Not in the way, you do.
You are a truly beautiful person, who experiences the pain, hardship & joy. So, less adventurous types like me don’t have to.🙌
Thankyou for making these camping show i wish it was me camping there with you i loved to camp out under the stars when i was younger now my heath is not great so thank you for taking me on your camping trips
Thanks for the video…I really enjoyed being on this adventure with you…stay safe and take care !!
Claire you do manage to get some great locations in your videos. Glad I finally got a change to catch up on your videos. Happy late New Year. :)
You are simply brilliant Claire. Running down a hill with a selfie stick might not be the best thing hon in thunder😘
The important thing is to stay motivated. Keep on making the latest content, I'm always waiting for your new videos camping
I only recently found your channel and I’m hooked, each video is educational whilst being entertaining and its great to see the joy you get from being out in the sticks. Keep itup🏕️🏕️🏕️
Ahh thanks Chris! Welcome to my lil channel :D I do have fun out there hehe. Hope you're having a lovely week 🤗🌿 Claire 🐻
I do love that feeling when you're in, and dry, and you can just *flumpfh* back (technical term) with a big sigh. The moments between "I've pitched" and that though are some of the suckiest in wet and windy weather. It's good to see you're as uncouth about it as everybody else, you just kinda roll around trying not to mash anything against anything else whilst hoping above all that the water decides to stay out of the tent 🤣. Riverside camps are my favourite, especially waterfalls, I absolutely love the sound of running water, and have some pretty special spots saved up over the past few years.
Beautiful river, and the rain sounds is so relaxing. 👍
Love your videos! Great content! I can't wait to get out camping again 😊
Beautiful as always. The scenery of course. 😉☺️😂
I really enjoy you're video's...I think I;m going to do so camping myself this summer! You inspire me to go into the wild, thank you very much!
That was one hell of a wet stormy camp! Nice one Claire... good ca on making a hasty retreat off the mountain during the thunderstorm. Oh and the talc... thats a real good idea! 👍
This video is clever. Good demo of the tent which is helpful to us as viewers, but lots of practical advice demonstrated such as going lower down in a storm, how to cross the water and also how to keep the tent dry by stripping down. Really good knack of showing how to deal with the downsides of camping.
Your delivery and production is quality. Someone should snap you up for a presenting gig on TV. Well done and keep up the great content.
A good sleep in the rain!! Awesome colors 👌
