I've used a life straw before, great idea with the cup. BTW keep a little bag of coffee grounds in your bag and spread them around in the inside of your tent to repel slugs. It works great. Thanks for another video! Respect form your friends in Florida USA 🌴

Claire you have the energy and innocence of a curious and carefree little girl, and it looks so good on you.🥰

I have an absolute phobia of slugs. How you was so calm. A tough lady in all weathers.

I have been camping in all kinds of weather for about seventy years and I appreciate what you show in your videos. I like to see the equipment you have and the techniques you use to cope with wet and windy weather and the way you keep a cheerful attitude in spite of all. You are an inspiration. Thanks.

It’s so odd that we go to beauty spots and 99% of people are tethered by invisible ropes to cafes and toilets just in case .. very very few actually venture far off the beaten for very long , you are totally inspirational and I will extend my little forays further each time thinking of your fabulous example , a woodland fairy made of steel ! 😊

Just found you. Honestly what an inspiration you are. You have inspired me and given me the courage to go on a solo camp and hike this year for my birthday. I turn 42 and it will be the first time I have camped since I was a child. Greetings all the way from Australia!

A way to keep the bottom of your trekking pole in place. Find a drink bottle or other plastic bottle that the hand end of your trekking pole will fit in. Cut it down to make a small cup. Put a small hole in the middle of the bottom. When needed Put the cup where needed ,put a tent peg through the hole in the cup and stake it down. Put the hand end in the cup. Now if it gets bumped the bottom of the pole won't slip.

I don't think I would ever use a tarp again after the slug incident and go for a fully enclosed tent especially given a tarp won't keep out ticks, slugs or my worst fear spiders. You're very brave!

Another amazing video, Claire! I enjoy all your vids, but this one may be my all time fave so far. Your enthusiasm, humour and above all, your overt joy and happiness derived from simply enjoying nature are an inspiration to us all. This was a fantastic reminder that the great outdoors doesn't shut down for the winter. With the minimal amount of the right kit, winter outdoors can be as enjoyable as all the other seasons. Love the fact that you're willing to share your own learning curve, as nobody ever learned anything by never messing up from time to time. However, your solutions are always well thought through and highly intelligent, when you encounter difficulties. I'm starting to "gush" a bit now, but just wanted to say well done for all you do and for inspiring many of us to get out of the house and enjoy what's out there. Also, loved the drinking straw montage at the end [comedy magic] :D

This was quite a video! I am always astonished by your ability to thrive in some pretty challenging conditions! Very amazing. I love to watch your videos as I like to hike and camp. I am astonished though at your willingness to use an open tarp and ground sheet in rain and heavy wind and soggy ground. I admit appreciate a conventional tent with poles to keep the rain and wind out. I was very entertained by the Lifestraw and of course especially how you demonstrated drinking straight out of the source. That looks super inconvenient but also looks like a very useful backup. Your videos are beautiful! I live in USA so I'm not familiar with those areas at all. The SLUGS FREAK ME OUT A LITTLE. We don't have anything like that where I am and it's likely because it gets very cold here in the winter. I can't image waking up with those crawling all over your tent and everything including your own self! Wow. Thanks for working really hard to share something really nice!

I love it when say, "Let's Go!" Then the adventure begins!

Beautiful territory Claire. Love the intro edit of the 'rude' "culprit". I noticed the quick-bog changed your plans... but as usual, you just simply keep going. Another fantastic video I smiled the entire way through.

Resilient as always! Lovely, thanks Clare!

Life straw and a cup or saucepan. I would never have thought of that. Great idea.

Claire, We kinda take it for granted but you're all alone so you are your own camera person, how did you learn your skills for cinematography? You have great camera work, multiple camera angles including aerial shots all edited perfectly. Did you go to film school? What cameras do you use ? How do you achieve your camera setups? What editing software do you use? How do you blend it all seamlessly together including the music? Maybe I'm asking too many trade secrets, sorry. It would really be cool if you did a behind the scenes video explaining how you are able to create the magic being a solo production crew of 1 person. Anyways love the work! Keep the adventures coming!

Superb as uaual Claire. I really do get totally engrossed in these videos , and love how they're always "warts-n-all" which just makes them all the more relatable to me. Editing is off the scale, and...WHAT a beautiful place. Snowdonia? All the best Claire.

Well. Your idea of straw+foldy cup is good.

I have slugs in my "den" and love them- miss having silverfish, woodlice or earwigs (and ghosts!) as we had in our old bungalow in North Beds.

What do you do during the week? Look at the weather forecast and think "Low pressure coming in, rain and high winds. I think I'll go camping"? Where was this adventure? Beautiful scenery!

You slept for 9 hours in the jellyfish tent. You are amazing that you can sleep so comfortably in the mountains under the rain. (From South Korea)

Another beautiful video, some quite stunning photography. I'm glad you found the slug, because I once woke covered in a very similar slime when I was in the Navy. That definitely wasn't a slug though.

Love your videos. The slug innuendo game in this one while unintended made me giggle.
