Coincidentally, the other day, a colleague asked why I go wild camping and spend an entire evening sat watching a fire or listening to an audiobook. I call it ‘guilt free relaxation.’ ie. If you were at home and sat down to read a book or chill, you feel guilty, because there’s always loads of chores or odd jobs that you should be getting on with. Whereas when you’re in the middle of nowhere, you can relax without guilt. I got into stoicism a few years ago and it’s really given me a much more relaxed, laidback outlook on life. There’s loads of books and teachings, but the bedrock of stoicism is basically understanding what you can and can’t control in life, and being able to quit worrying about things that are beyond your control. I’d recommend stoicism as a life choice to anyone. Another great video Carrie 👌
This is so true 🙌🏻 you can’t beat it! stoicism is something I’ve adapted to my life over this past year & I study the teachings daily, it’s really changed my life 🙏🏼
What a beautiful, calming watch! Thoroughly enjoyed this - it has everything: countryside, camping, books, and a stunning host with a great sense of humour. I think I’ve just found my new favourite channel!
I'm off to a kayak expedition in Greenland this year, and my guide gave me a really good tip. You just pack a pillowcase and fill it with you down jacket and/or merinolayers and so on. It is very light and works perfectly
Beautiful woodland and autumn colours Carrie. You wild camp for exactly the same reason I do. It’s so beautiful and relaxing. And great when you find those areas that others tend not to go. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🇬🇧
Weather looked great, I always used my coat as a pillow, then I bought a camping pillow, I normally forget to take it with me, but when I do it's great, the trick is not to over inflate it. Great film thanks for sharing, now looking for that book 🙂
I haven’t wild camped in such a long time now but when I did I’d look for a spot where I am in the warm sun rise, not always possible I know so I invested in some chargeable hand warmers, not just for hands, light weight and a god send on cold nights and mornings, you are right there is something magical about autumn, thanks for the video 😊
Thank you so much for another lovely camp and for taking us all along.. And congratulations on your views award and the 13000 subscriber's .. very well deserved.. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures ❤
I use Thermarest compressible pillow, easy for packing and comes into multiple sizes. Really enjoyed watching your fall video, thanks for sharing 👍. Subscribed from north Maine 😀
Autumn is my favorite season too. I love how the days are warm and the nights are crisp and cold for hot cocoa. I also love the leaves changing colors and falling to the ground. Its always good to see your adventures! ❤ Keep warm!
@@UKCARRIEOUTDOORS It definitely is. Even the stars seem brighter at night when the nights are cold. Its a blessing to see especially if there is a good campfire near by
I'm 38 too, and just getting into wild camping properly now here in Northumberland/Newcastle. When you realise how short weekends are, you just want to spend them doing things like this, and not hungover. Loved the video and subbed!
I've tried so many pillows, the best I've used is the 7:99 decathlon quechua one, a comfy pillow makes such a big difference to a good sleep, no stiff neck in the morning either 😂
Great video lovely spot good to see you out and about look forward to next one I always find nature can lift troubles of your shoulders and it's good too see it does same for you x
Lovely video, thanks! It looks like a really beautiful spot! There really is something special about being alone (or just me and my dog) in nature at night. And I also love a stop at a bakery for a good coffee in the morning afterwards! Re pillows, I've found the Nemo Fillo Luxury Elite and the Trekology 2.0 are both pretty good. The latter is pretty cheap and has a strap for attaching it to your pad, which is useful. For winter, a pad with good R value, like the Nemo Tensor All Seasons (R5.5) and a good quilt (I like the Katabatic Sawatch) or sleeping bag (I use the Western Mountaineering Antelope when it's super cold). I like tarp and bivy camping when possible and have used the Borah Gear Cuben bivy in sub zero temps with a tarp, but when I'm expecting windy conditions I use either the Durston X-Mid 1 solid or the Hilleberg Niak. Keep the videos coming 🙂
inflatable pillows: i have tried all sorts of pillows that are varying degrees of comfortable, but the "best" i have found is the drift from alpkit, however i still wrap my fleece round it for a bit o paddin😊. and the question of why sit in your tent when its dark well i say wild camping if you know you know!
just ro quickly add. in my scout leader role i am known as an alpkit addict!! but i am not. i have it under control. i can stop any time i want. no honest i can
Looked amazing Carrie. We are both so lucky to have this on our doorstep. You have inspired me to have a little go at making videos. Nothing like as 'polished ' as yours though ! Keep on making them.
Awesome video Carrie. I used to always use inflatable pillows like the trekology but never got on with them. Then I found the thermarest compressible pillow and it was a game changer!
Try a small duck down pillow, put it in a plastic vac bag, get all the air out and good to go, light (ish) and can easily fit into ya back pack 🙂 only down side is its bulky to put back into the bag (obviously) when its time to pack up 🙂 Love the VLOG and agree autumn is a beautiful time of year here in the UK
I'm really glad you've managed to get back out again. I managed to get a night out in my van. Only 5 minutes away from home. But it's a start. I downloaded a film and cuddled up with the pups ❤️
@@UKCARRIEOUTDOORS Definitely. One step at a time for me as it's one step forward, two back. I'm not out this weekend, But I am glad to be home and not in hospital as a pin cushion. Just need to get in top of not sleeping 😴
Ah that looked good for the soul Carrie, it takes a level of confidence to do that solo. Being in amongst nature & your book obviously adds to your well-being. This rubs off on us through your video's. Like you if I've camped on long hikes I've just used my coat so I can't really recommend any pillows, though I'm sure some of the regular campers among your viewers will be able to xx
Nice video Carrie, used to love my time in the Army out & about sleeping with nature all around you, as for talking to yourself ….i do it a lot ….sometimes you need an honest opinion 😂. Wow thought you was younger than 38 😊🌹
Another beautiful piece of work Carrie, so insiring. I wondered if youd considered getting another dog ? I lost my German Shepherd a year ago & found it difficult at first to camp without him. Ive always used an air pillow due to a sport injury when i was 25 . My neck hurts if i cant keep my spine inline & an air pillow allows some adjustment in height by releasing air until im comfortable. Hope that helps. Massive hugs, Mick X
Aww I’m sorry to hear that, i can relate! I hate been out without my girls I miss them dearly! A German shepherd is actually my dream dog, I’m definitely going to be looking into adopting a new dog next year once I get back from some travels I have planned 🙏🏼
@ukcarrieoutdoors9840 Wonderful to hear about your plans moving forward. I never mention aesthetics in people because I don't think it helps much but it was so lovely to see you looking so well last night, in fact it was magic. I've had 4 German Shepherd"s & everyone of them was loved & brought up with lots of tlc so they were all beautiful & soft as cob webs. Be careful of adopting a big dog because not everyone is kind to them & it's possible you could end up with a lot of problems, a puppy is always best. Stay safe & pain free , Gigantic hugs, Mick X
@@UKCARRIEOUTDOORS A tip I forgot to mention is double pillow up, get a decent cousiony neck pillow, put the neck pillow on top or underneath your Eurohike flannel camping pillow for extra comfortability, the Eurohike flannel pillow is comfortable on its own but adding that neck pillow as well might be even more comfortable and the neck pillow can also support your neck even more and support your shoulder adding that cousin between your neck and shoulder so you're not causing shoulder cramp. I swear by this, I even do this method just sleeping in my normal bed at home
This looks nice. When I try to solo camp, I attract busybodies, weirdos, excessively friendly people and dog walkers. This even happens to me in the middle of Dartmoor in the winter. I have now decided to get a campervan instead lol.
Lovely vlog, you have some real bottle... Tell me, did you ever go back to that place where 'you left in a hurry in the middle of the night?' That alone would have finished me... Just ensure your safety...x
Hi Carrie, great video. I haven't found a pillow that I like either, I also roll up my jacket and suits me fine. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the solitude.
I have the same problem solo camping. What to do after I've made dinner. But I'm in the subtropics and there are mosquitoes out in numbers all year round. So I spend a lot of time listening to audiobooks or the sounds of the woods as the evening closes in.
Might just be me, but I use just a trekology inflatable pillow in a brushed cotton pillowcase from home. The pillowcase makes all the difference for me.
Great video Carrie, thanks for sharing it. Autumn is my favourite season by far - those colours are amazing. Looks like you got a good sleep too! Can I ask what tent that is? Cheers.
It really is a beautiful time of year 🍂 Yes sure it’s my trusty little Vango cairngorm, I’ve got a few tents but this one’s my favourite at the moment 🙏🏼

@@UKCARRIEOUTDOORS Thanks Carrie! I have a Vango Tempest 200 Pro and love it..but I like the look of the Cairngorm. Ive always been a Vango girl..they make great camping equipment and reasonably priced too..which is always a bonus. Thanks again Carrie 😘
Spend my nights in my converted camper but definitely looking to get really amongst it at a forest somewhere for the night out of the van (proper camping)
Firstly wow 38 honestly I thought you were about 24 Whatever your secret is can you tell me, but there again it's probably too late for me as I'm old enough to be your dad lol 😂 Great video and what a beautiful spot. I call Autumn the Golden months because of the colours on the trees. Have to say the pancake looked tasty 👍
Firstly you don't look like 38 more like 28 ..must be the fresh air and nature 😊 second you can never go wrong with spending time in nature love I'm 45 and I'm planning my next camping trip. Keep on exploring and enjoy! ❤
Oh no, disappointed with the pancake mix. I mix at home and place in a wide end bottle for camps. Already mixed for use. Perfect. Oh and add chocolate chips in aswel for taste. Yum.
Hey guys, I hope you’re all ok 🥰 as always I look forward to chatting & catching up in the comments 🙏🏼
I've tried a number of camping pillows and the Trekology, Aluft Ultra is the most comfortable.
Thank you I’ll check it out 🙏🏼

@@UKCARRIEOUTDOORS hi 👋
Oh no, disappointed with the pancake mix. I mix at home and place in a wide end bottle for camps. Already mixed for use. Perfect. Oh and add chocolate chips in aswel for taste. Yum.
🤭 yeah I was definitely lazy this time but they tasted amazing so it was all good lol
Nice camp spot, for me, I like the outdoors because it's a different world and that makes it easy to forget about problems in the real world.
This is so relatable 🙌🏻
Lovely video. Your rab sleeping bag is great. Certainly would have kept you toasty
Great wee video 👏🏻⛺️
Thank you so much ☺️
Great video 👍🙂
Stay safe out there young lady 🙂👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
Can’t comment on a pillow Carrie as I just make do with clothes etc however the pancakes look good 😁
That’s how I do it too 😂 all the camping pillows I’ve seen just look so uncomfortable 🫣
