A great little tip I learnt in the Royal Marine Commandos, at night before you go bed, heat up a load of water, put it back in your water bottle, drop it in bottom of your sleeping bag to keep your toes warm, and when you use it in the morning you use less fuel to reheat it to cook with.
You wouldn't think you could be outside at -6 in a sleeping bag & be warm enough to see you through to morning, i spose with the right gear & planning you can do this , well done young lady
I adore how you show things not going to plan, but still adapt to enjoy. You make me want to rethink my life choices!!! Please keep producing this content & let me know how I can support you from the states.
Only just discovered your channel a few days ago and already watched most of the films. Makes a refreshing change from the normal beardy blokes and expensive kit to find someone more realistic and relatable showing that things don’t always go to plan,and you don’t always need the most expensive kit to get out there and enjoy time in nature. Looking forward to your next films and wish you the best for all your future adventures.
@@WildBeare It shows you have such passion and a great inspiration that I’ve now got my old tarp and camping gear out of storage and thinking of doing wild camping LOL😂. Looking forward to your test on the OneTigris Backwood Budgalow. Will it be better than tarp and Bivvy?🤔
Yes, good comments... I get a bit sick, or tired, as a man, watching other men doing wild camps. Nice to have a feminine touch , without a beard obviously..I HOPE SHE TAKES CARE. (I ONCE DID A WILD CAMP IN A SMALL TENT & IT WAS MINUS 10 or thereabouts, but I only had a couple of t-shirts & jeans on, & not a very thick s.bag. I made sure plenty of insulation under me.
Exactly my thougts! These serious bushcraft guys are too often focused on a gear and expensive stuff. It looks like these fancy things are more important for them than camping itself. It's so ridiculous 😅 That's why I instantly loved this channel. Simplicity, unpretentiousness, realism and zero snobbish talk about Stuff, it's so pleasant to watch❤
Bear, you can take branches from other trees, 1 or 2 from each and interspersed with those on the tree , add, moss, bracken leaves etc to make a very wether proof shelter.
Many years ago I bivvied in mid-winter in a beech grove buried under a large heap of dead leaves; great insulation and a very warm night. No bivvy bag just a ground sheet and lots of leaves.
I camped like this under a large Spruce tree. Gently pinned the long lower branches to the ground for walls/roof.Very cosy and made Spruce tea 🍵 🌲in the morning from the leaves 😋..Awesome 🌳🌲🔥🌳🌲🔥
I love these videos, no drama , no hearing a noise in the woods and thinking it must be a ghost or a Werewolf, like so many other channels, just calm relaxed chilled out bliss ❤
One of the things in life that I always look forward to when I pop onto TH-cam is seeing a new video posted by Claire, its one of the bright sunny spots on what otherwise might have been a gloomy day.. Thanks Claire for all you do ! 🤓
This is so cool! It's amazing to see you brave the cold and go stealth camping in a busy forest at below freezing temperatures. The footage is breathtaking and I love how you captured the beauty of nature in the wintertime. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Thank you for giving us that oh so lovely to look at frosty night under those incredible stars. I continue to live vicariously through your marvelous adventures whilst remaining toasty warm and dry inside my house. One day, however, I shall venture forth.
Camping is the adventure! You have to improvise at a moments notice and at any time of the day. Embrace it, learn from it and move on. What a wonderful video. Happy camping Claire!
I keep trying to find something new and fresh to leave in the comments, but there’s just no getting around the qualities that make all of your videos special. Beyond the great videography, photography, editing and terrific music, there’s a beautiful woman with a tremendous heart, an unstoppable, adventurous spirit and a kind and compassionate soul. You are amazing, and hearing your voice talking about your experience and the world around you always makes me smile. 🥰 Wishing you all the very best.
Nice video. The tree prevents the radiation of heat to the sky, i.e., the open areas cool faster than under the tree. I love camping in below freezing weather. If you have the right gear and preparations, it is very comfortable. I have slept in a sleeping bag in a tent at -18 deg F (-28 deg. C) in Vermont in the winter. It definitely helps to use the hand warmers in your down booties and hot water in bottles in the sleeping bag to pre-heat it as well as keep you warm.
Fantastic filming and editing. Thats apart from finding a suitable place and having the skill and knowledge to actually camp overnight in sub zero conditions. Im in awe.
Thank you so much :) it wasn't what I planned but I think I was actually warmer uner the tree than I would have been with the tarp camp I had planned haha
I really liked this. I keep it cold in my room to feel cozy under covers. A camouflage tarp might be a nice addition to roll yourself in your bivy up in like a burrito for an extra layer of protection from the wind and cold and tiny critters wishing to join you in your bivy.😄Take care, from AB🌺(wild rose country), Canada
Always great content, edit is great just comes across as a really nice person. I've been watching for last two years. Keep it up, you ain't faint hearted your always pushing boundaries.
Helloo, thank you so much for the kind words and for watching my lil videos since I started, means a lot 😃 I'm so glad you like them. Hope you're having a nice week :)
Honest reply and considerate. Nice people need protection too. I pull or push to see what answers such prompting . Why else to land a catch ? One explanation concerns my crafting hobby. I learned in Micronesia of previous cultures that had no metal. End result is a stone-hard shiny orb. Braided human hair has it on display in ritual usage to appease man-eaters. To go there the first thing I do is bait a shark hook with dead flesh usually collected from tar surfaces where vehicles speed.. How hard could it be to reproduce a stone age task methodology ?
I have to rave about this for a sec, The music around the 8:00 minute mark is perfection! 😍 stopped me in my tracks, I had to go find it and listened on repeat for an hour or so.. it’s a wonderful discovery. Also, catching up on your videos while I work. Love your voice! It’s soothing.
Wild camping under a tree in winter 6 degs below, what a woman you are Claire and you love it! I was shivering just watching you with my grandson, he us one of your greatest fans.. Excellent viewing.😊👍
Ya know, the feel of freezing and the sight of crystals forming on the ground would send me running to the insulation of my car.!!! But, Claire, no, no.! She and nature find each other charming, and an unfolding and fascinating mystery. That’s one of the many reasons I love this channel.!!! ❤
Excellent video Clare in -6C conditions. I am impressed with your camp cooking, you should share the recipe. I cringe watching other outdoors types eating the dehydrated garbage and lightning fires with a flint. Enjoying your posts in Australia 🇦🇺
To me Aldebaran is one of the most beautiful stars in the sky. That slow shutter speed also caught the Pleiades in all of their glory.... Didn't see if anyone else covered it but when ground camping always remember "Head up feet down," if you can't find a flat spot.
Hey Claire that was a fab camp. What a cute tree! Almost a little Christmas tree🎄Those stars looked awesome! Looking forward to your next adventure Helen & Andy Hogan 🌲🌲xxx
Try using a wide mouth 1 litre Nalgene as a hot water bottle. I fill it with just off the boil hot water and wrap with any item of clothing to avoid scalding my feet. By morning it’s still lukewarm and speeds up making yourself a hot drink. I just walked the Coleridge Way, 52 miles, and had awful weather - torrential rain, sleet, high winds etc and it feels amazing to get under my quilt with my hot water bottle.
Hello Claire, feeling under the weather but seeing this video pop up in my TH-cam feed has made me feel a little better. Thanks for your excellent videos.
Was that Taurus with Aldebaran the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters in your sky shot??? It’s hard to tell on my phone but it is my birth sign …Have fun stay safe love your videos.
You good girl. Love this site. That sounds patronising. You are so tough. I love the fact that you push the endurance boundaries. As JJ Cale sang "Travelling Light. Luv Yer 👍💪❤🙏
Such a fun looking lil' overnighter Claire! A bit chilly for sure, but incredibly beautiful with all of that frost covering everything in the morning 😍 It was pretty cool to see how much added warmth that tree provided you as well. Thanks for sharing another fun and unique adventure! I hope that you have an absolutely amazing weekend my friend! :) Stay wild.... 🐻 -John
6:26 Giving us the cold shoulder huh hahaha, You really are a lovely lady, not only in looks but in demeanor also, there really is nothing like getting back to basics and sleeping under a Big old spruce tree on a cool frosty night, aside from the risks of ticks, of course, haha no pain no gain huh. Even here in Canada, it is also starting to be harder to find a little spot closer to home for an evening getaway camping, without people and their dogs walking about in the local forest.
Very different pitch for you Claire. I remember when you first started. You re come along way baby. (pardon the funny) . Always enjoy your wonderful cheery outlook .
Always appreciate your ingenuity in making situations better, whether it's an improvised repair, or just giving yourself more room under some low-hanging branches👍
On my first bivi camp, I learnt a valuable lesson. I was in a group of six camping in the Lake District in winter. At night my friend and I lay under conifers where we woke up warm and dry. The rest of the group decided to lay out in the open. In the morning they found themselves in a dew-sodden patch. They had a miserable time making breakfast on the damp and cold grass.
You are soooo silly!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how you do it. I watch Steve and Chris, and I see amazing stealth spots here in South Florida, but I just can't commit to doing it!! You rock! Thanks so much for sharing, freezing, filming, flying....... lol
Bbbrrrrr felt cold after watching that !!. You make it sound so warm and comfy …. Well done you . I bet you find it hard to get out of the back in the middle of the night . Keep coming with more Vids Claire 🤗
Hi Rachel! That owl was so funny, maybe he had a cold or something, sounded a bit off bless him 😄🦉 Thanks for watching my lil vid, hope you're good 🤗 Claire
Now there’s a lovely present under the Christmas tree 🎄 for us all 🤣😊 thanks as always Claire for your “on the wonk” video uploads, keep up the good work! 😊👍🏽♥️⛺️
Hard boiled eggs with the shells still on make for great handwarmers or to warm up your sleeping bag ....double wrapped roasted potatoes also are good to keep your sleeping bag marm and both eggs and potatoes can be eaten when they've cooled down and that will keep your inner self nice and warm processing the food in your tummy
Great use of the tree, whilst watching it occured to me that it might be possible to slot more foliage in between the tree's own lower branches, if you needed to create a thicker ceiling, or if you needed more of an overhang in case of rain - I might try this. Well done!
10:22 I never get tired of seeing this "jump-plopp" disappearing cut. It's like magic in a way even though i have a clear understanding of how it is achieved, technically. Feels like magic. Lovely video. "I'm glad to be out here." really hits home with me. Something draws me out to do small camps too, every now and then. Somehow nice to know that there are others out there who experience the same. Means i'm not the only weird one who flees my centrally heated home sometimes and spends good money on special clothes and special equipment to sleep outside of my comfortable home. Thanks, WildBeare!
Just been looking at your early videos, boy have you come a long way with your productions. What a journey, can barely wait to see where another 12 months takes you. Please don’t ever get bored doing these!!🙂🙂🙂
Really loving your Video techniques, with the Drone, zoom ins, panning and everything. Great stuff. We call this "HOMELESSNESS" on the outskirts of the big cities..LOL
I don’t know where you are but I’ve spent time under Hemlock trees in New England that were so large and spread out that there was an area beneath them that could accommodate several people with the lower branches brushing the ground. It was definitely a micro climate.
Claire you are epic - love the fact your not just a fair weather bushcrafter I was out too last week under the stars 🌟 Hugely cold and hugely rewarding so keep doing what you love and thanks for taking us on your journey with you and remember no such thing as bad weather if your layered up and have the equipment geared to the conditions - have fun Steve x
Hi Steve! Glad you've been out and about, the cold starry nights are beautiful aren't they. Nothing like a clear winter night sky. Yes this is totally true, sky's the limit with the right gear :) Hope you're having a good week 🌿Claire 🐻
Was on Botney Bay beach this week with a firepit in the Pebbles watching the stars and thought I was stealth until I went for a wee and saw the white cliff light up like a lighthouse lol 😆 Off again this weekend to Ashford so hope it's a clear night (sat) Have fun on your travels too hun and keep the vids coming your amazing 👏 Steve x
Yes I agree it can be a pain! I like my head to be higher than my feet when I sleep so I enjoy a slight slope. If I can't get one I put my rucksack under the head end to lift it a bit. This one was ok but yep very annoying when you start sliding around in the night 😄
defo great camping out in the cold lol. done a -4 hammock camp last month to test me new hammock under quilt. was so cosy i only needed me 2 season sleeping bag lol was nice and toasty.
A great little tip I learnt in the Royal Marine Commandos, at night before you go bed, heat up a load of water, put it back in your water bottle, drop it in bottom of your sleeping bag to keep your toes warm, and when you use it in the morning you use less fuel to reheat it to cook with.
Just make sure your water bottle does not leak > wet sleeping bag.
Good idea
You wouldn't think you could be outside at -6 in a sleeping bag & be warm enough to see you through to morning, i spose with the right gear & planning you can do this , well done young lady
How can anyone not love this lady? I am watching them all again now , so calming and love the cello music . Stay safe stay free stay wild . Love it .
8:17 struck a nerve. I always get sad when it's time to go. You thanked the tree for its shelter. 😊 Bless your soul ✌️
I adore how you show things not going to plan, but still adapt to enjoy. You make me want to rethink my life choices!!! Please keep producing this content & let me know how I can support you from the states.
I watch this video every time I feel cold. Just looking at Claire in all those layers in her cosy sleeping bag makes me feel warm.
Only just discovered your channel a few days ago and already watched most of the films.

Bear, you can take branches from other trees, 1 or 2 from each and interspersed with those on the tree , add, moss, bracken leaves etc to make a very wether proof shelter.
Your smile as you watched that bird was wonderful, as if you just belonged there in nature - which you obviously do! - and recognised an old friend :)

I camped as a kid with minimal money to spend and I still appreciate every indoor comfort to this day.
Frosty mornings are beautiful, especially when the skies are blue and the winter sun puts in an appearance.
Excellent video Clare in -6C conditions. I am impressed with your camp cooking, you should share the recipe. I cringe watching other outdoors types eating the dehydrated garbage and lightning fires with a flint.
Enjoying your posts in Australia 🇦🇺

Great idea being under the tree. I have noticed that if there is frost on the grass there won't be any near the trees.
That was excellent, you caught the mood of the trip, relaxed and at one with your surroundings, great.
Im so impressed with you and what you do. Your channel is amazing.
4:07 Beautiful capture of Mars and the Pleiades
You're an absolute nutter Claire!.....and that's why we all luv you!!...Thank you for continuing to entertain and inspire us!

@@WildBeare thanks Claire, really enjoyed the video. It was like your own Christmas tree to sleep under! Great. Take care.
@@kennethwilson8633 I saw Orion out on a clear walk back from work a few nights ago.
@@WildBeare fancy going on a date wuth me?
Good for you embracing the cold Claire. Enjoying the experience even if it doesn’t turn out exactly as planned is definitely the way to go. 😊
Absolute star
Hi Claire,the best thing about sleeping under a fir tree is no slugs because of the needles.Excelent video
You are such an inspiration , I'm glad I found your channel , gives me confidence to start going camping alone again, keep up the great work !!!
I just read this comment and was sick in my own mouth as a result.
You good girl. Love this site. That sounds patronising. You are so tough. I love the fact that you push the endurance boundaries. As JJ Cale sang "Travelling Light. Luv Yer 👍💪❤🙏

looked like a cold one, love it when its cold and crisp.
Nice one Claire who else would kip.under a tree and wake up smiling 😃 awsome
Every soldier.....ever!
Glad to see you've regained some of your sanity Claire 😀
Looked like a great little adventure. Keep up the great work
Thanks Richard :D
Just awesome, good on you for getting out there
Australia 🇦🇺 downunder watching. 😎
Absolutely brilliant, you crack me up ,thought you was going to roll down the hill.
😂 It's on a bit of a wonk. Love watching your adventures. The drone footage and music is great
Nicely done. Photograph very well done. What really makes a good vid no matter the subject is a great personality and you got it.
You continue to amaze. Well done Claire
6:26 Giving us the cold shoulder huh hahaha, You really are a lovely lady, not only in looks but in demeanor also, there really is nothing like getting back to basics and sleeping under a Big old spruce tree on a cool frosty night, aside from the risks of ticks, of course, haha no pain no gain huh. Even here in Canada, it is also starting to be harder to find a little spot closer to home for an evening getaway camping, without people and their dogs walking about in the local forest.
Can’t believe you did that, and your night star shots are amazing.
Very different pitch for you Claire. I remember when you first started. You re come along way baby. (pardon the funny) . Always enjoy your wonderful cheery outlook .
Claire enjoyed another video.
Your channel is one of the most consistent out there with a new video every week.
Always appreciate your ingenuity in making situations better, whether it's an improvised repair, or just giving yourself more room under some low-hanging branches👍
On my first bivi camp, I learnt a valuable lesson. I was in a group of six camping in the Lake District in winter. At night my friend and I lay under conifers where we woke up warm and dry. The rest of the group decided to lay out in the open. In the morning they found themselves in a dew-sodden patch. They had a miserable time making breakfast on the damp and cold grass.
Ahh nice, conifers are wonderful things aren't they :D 🌲
I laughed when you slid off your ground cloth several times! ThT would have had me hunting for a tree on level ground!
The native cherry trees (Australia) grow with a canopy that extends 3 m. The ground underneath is dry. They make great spots for camping.
Wow - I've watched a few of your videos now and you blow me away, you are awesome. thanks for making this amazing content.
Aw thanks so much! 😃🌿
Hi Claire!
No doubt, Sister Tree has blessed you while you lay sleeping in her green embrace 🌲
“I am pretty well floofed now…”
Too cute 😂
You are soooo silly!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how you do it. I watch Steve and Chris, and I see amazing stealth spots here in South Florida, but I just can't commit to doing it!! You rock! Thanks so much for sharing, freezing, filming, flying....... lol
Bbbrrrrr felt cold after watching that !!. You make it sound so warm and comfy …. Well done you . I bet you find it hard to get out of the back in the middle of the night . Keep coming with more Vids Claire 🤗
The coldest night I've ever had was -3°F : -19.44°C. I had a US army bivy, down bag, & a 4 season tent. I slept wonderfully.
Wow! That is some serious cold weather camping. Respect for braving the elements like that!
Yes she is great resource full a true camper
Brrrr that’s a cold camp 🥶 Definitely a good challenge bivving in the sharp snap of winter. Love the Owl noises, 😊 Thanks. Have a great weekend 😀
Hi Rachel! That owl was so funny, maybe he had a cold or something, sounded a bit off bless him 😄🦉 Thanks for watching my lil vid, hope you're good 🤗 Claire
Now there’s a lovely present under the Christmas tree 🎄 for us all 🤣😊 thanks as always Claire for your “on the wonk” video uploads, keep up the good work! 😊👍🏽♥️⛺️
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing yar adventures.
Clair, always relaxing to watch your videos. You have a calm voice.
Hard boiled eggs with the shells still on make for great handwarmers or to warm up your sleeping bag ....double wrapped roasted potatoes also are good to keep your sleeping bag marm and both eggs and potatoes can be eaten when they've cooled down and that will keep your inner self nice and warm processing the food in your tummy

Awesome video, I loved it. ❤ 💯
All the love from Germany. 🇩🇪
Enjoyed watching this, inspiring stuff, and like how you have shot it.
That was fantastic,very brave of you . Thank you.
Love you Claire 😍💗
Great use of the tree, whilst watching it occured to me that it might be possible to slot more foliage in between the tree's own lower branches, if you needed to create a thicker ceiling, or if you needed more of an overhang in case of rain - I might try this. Well done!
Just carry a camo tarp.

Beautiful tree, thanks for sharing.
I love your videos. You’re crazy!! And bloody brave too a woman on her own 🥰
Really loving your Video techniques, with the Drone, zoom ins, panning and everything. Great stuff.
We call this "HOMELESSNESS" on the outskirts of the big cities..LOL
Always makes me laugh the way you look around and when you spot people, it’s as though you’re having a “stealth poo!!” 😂😂
A shit.
Great fun Claire.
Very nice little camp. Great drills. When I was in the army I used to love rough sleeping under fire trees and pines 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
I don’t know where you are but I’ve spent time under Hemlock trees in New England that were so large and spread out that there was an area beneath them that could accommodate several people with the lower branches brushing the ground. It was definitely a micro climate.
Claire you are epic - love the fact your not just a fair weather bushcrafter I was out too last week under the stars 🌟
Hugely cold and hugely rewarding so keep doing what you love and thanks for taking us on your journey with you and remember no such thing as bad weather if your layered up and have the equipment geared to the conditions - have fun

Hi Steve! Glad you've been out and about, the cold starry nights are beautiful aren't they. Nothing like a clear winter night sky. Yes this is totally true, sky's the limit with the right gear :) Hope you're having a good week 🌿Claire 🐻
Was on Botney Bay beach this week with a firepit in the Pebbles watching the stars and thought I was stealth until I went for a wee and saw the white cliff light up like a lighthouse lol 😆
Off again this weekend to Ashford so hope it's a clear night (sat)
Have fun on your travels too hun and keep the vids coming your amazing 👏

Looks like fun. I dislike sleeping on a slope. It never feels much at the time but in the night when you start to slip and slide, it gets to you.
Yes I agree it can be a pain! I like my head to be higher than my feet when I sleep so I enjoy a slight slope. If I can't get one I put my rucksack under the head end to lift it a bit. This one was ok but yep very annoying when you start sliding around in the night 😄
One of my faves!
Hemlocks are one of my favourite shelter trees too! Nice work!
defo great camping out in the cold lol. done a -4 hammock camp last month to test me new hammock under quilt. was so cosy i only needed me 2 season sleeping bag lol was nice and toasty.
