From the 'glamping' to the wild camping on the side of stormy mountains and now on to the bushcraft, things you like to see :) . Once you take your first walk down 'Bushcraft Road' there's no going back, lady :) . Bushcraft tips? Learn the basic knots, you only need to master a few of them. Here's 2 of the best videos on that subject: Bushcraft Essential Knots: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c56gl6hvmbjAj9Y.html The 3 Essential KNOTS for Tarps | Camping & Bushcraft | : kzread.info/dash/bejne/lplmtcmkhqXfktI.html Learn your plants and fungi, it's amazing what we walk past in the woods and don't even realise it: kzread.infovideos (Their book is superb too) Another great channel: kzread.infovideos (not for snowflakes) Warning: There's one plant out there, Claire, that can be best descibed as Britain's answer to the triffid and I'm not joking when I say that. It's deadly and can easily maim and injure anyone who touches it. Here's Alfie's video on this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ln6Gssh7h7uop9o.html (learn to identify this plant) Congrats on your first real bushcraft video, it was a pleasure to watch it.

@@wolfenstein6676 Hi Wolf! Thank you so much, I had a blast with this and I'm so pleased how it went :D Yesss I really need to learn knots. I've tried a few times and even been shown by a friend but most of them I seem to forget as soon as I've learnt them.. not doing them often enough I suppose. I've heard a lot about the giant hogweed, causes blindness & all sorts doesn't it! Thank you so much for the useful links, I'll do some watching when I've got a bit of time and thank you for watching my attempt at this, I'm looking forward to trying more in future :) 🌿💚 Claire

Your channel is so wellcome to this scene, no military BS, no ultrasurvival, just camping anybody is competent with. Keep up good work! Way to go girl!

One of the few people that makes me fall in love virtually speaking, the calmness, the proactivity, the independence, she is a 10/10.

I wish I was 20 years younger as I’d love to do all these kinds of things. Don’t have the health for it now but I’d love to go out and just spend time in nature like this.

Its amazing how quickly a place like that can become home.

I taught soldiers to build "brush wood" and snow shelters. Outstanding job. Well done.

Claire you are a natural beauty 😍 ✨️ 💕 💖

There's something about being out in nature that has a cleansing effect on your soul

I've been watching your videos for a few days and I'm hooked. I love your spirit and disposition, you're so positive and gentle even in the face of obstacles that get thrown at you. Love wilderness channels, and even more so female oriented ones. You're amazing and so inspiring! I'd never be have the confidence or skill to do what you do, so I live vicariously through you. Thanks for being my new favourite KZread channel 💕

Like a little bird building a nest. You built that nest very strong little bird.

I'm so impressed Claire. I've had survival training and you did an awesome job. Thank you for trying new things and kicking it. Congratulations on your shelter. Never stop doing what you do, you are an amazing woman and one that truly loves the outdoors.

The confidence that you walk away with every time you make the most out of bushcrafting will stick with you Claire, kind of a collage for common sense and understanding just what you are so capable of doing, cheers!

I've had a traumatic day, mom has Alzheimer's,and my daughter moved in even though I asked her not to because mom was sick I won't go further,I just wanted to say thank you for getting me out of my head

Hi Claire love 💕 the A fame it’s Awesome Amazing nice Gorgeous Beautiful Scenery 😊

This content makes me so happy. I’m proud of you for being out there and enjoying your life in the purest way possible

Claire.. I can't believe that this is only your 2nd attempt at creating your own shelter, as the whole process was perfect! Thank you for sharing. I think you said something like the wooden little fence you made was draughty or something like that, but it had character! 👍🙂

Eeyore aproves this video and says he is proud of you. "Not much of a home for not much of a camper"

I feel sorry for anyone that has never ever experienced the woods coming alive in the very early break of day. The unique feeling you get seeing everything wake up and come alive with the scent, sounds and sights is something no one can accurately describe with words. The coldest time of any day is that time the sun rays peek over the horizon. A light cold breeze cuts across the land as the Earth wakes up. Thumbs Up!

Beautiful video, absolutely gorgeous cinematography. Your enthusiasm for bushcraft is infectious. I love it, keep having wild adventures & where possible share them with us.

Surely the coolest, most capable and inspirational woman (or man) on KZread. Marry me ? ;-) Keep these videos coming and thank you

I love watching this... I watch it often. I also like the one where you made a camp in between 2 large fallen trees and the stealth camps.... Would you do some more like these..... Pleeeeeeeaaaassseeeee ❤❤❤

Beautiful lifestyle! Closer to the nature! Very nice activities, cooking clean and tasty food outdoors, and working for a shelter! You spent a nice time! Keep it up!

Awesome trek! Thank you so much for sharing and teaching! You make an incredible amount of work effort and planning seem easier than it looks. Incredible!

Maybe the firewall is not perfect, but as long YOU enjoy these littlethikgs, it's perfect 😊

A suggestion. Have you ever thought about starting a small course for say about 4 to 6 people over a long weekend .... teaching basic survival. Nothing complicated. Just basic enjoyable skill sets. Using birch bark to make a fire. Basic tarp shelter. How to clean water and sterilize it. Those basic things. I think you'd make a great teacher...and who knows you could become a Mrs Ray Mears. Great vids

So impressed with this Claire. Makes me want to get out and try some of the tips and ideas I've learnt from you. Thank you

Great shelter build! Great commentary and I appreciate your honesty! Beautifully shot video and such a cozy camp...plus the food looked delicious! Thanks for another great video!

The only bad thing about this wonderful channel is you can watch far more quickly than videos can be created....running out here D: Loved every single one.

What a beautiful soul you are. I love watching you messing around doing stuff you love to do.. Please keep doing your films.. The editing is awesome also.. Much love & peace to you, Pete. X 😊

This reminds me so much of my childhood spent in the woods making little shelters and just enjoying being surrounded by nature. I've recently gotten back into camping, but this is inspiring me to find more wild places! Beautiful video and so cosy and relaxing to watch 😊🌿

Hi Claire, I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable vlogs you have done. Building your own shelter and getting to enjoy it for 2 nights is no small thing, and it was easy to see the pride and happiness it brought you. I have to say you are one of the most nature-amicable Bushcrafter/Wildcampers on KZread. Even when struggling with weather, wildlife, or terrain, you still seem to inwardly enjoy the experience of being there. I think the harshest thing I've ever heard you say was to scold a slug as being "Rude" for exploring the inside of your mug. Keep that, it's a wonderful quality! Warmest regards from Canada (It's currently -34C)

Hi Sean, aw yay I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I had the best time with this 😍 something so satisfying and cosy about making your own little home in the woods. Yeh I really do love it, difficulties out in the wild are much 'nicer' difficulties that modern-day-life-stresses I find. Woww that is insanely cold!! I'm kinda envious, all summer I've been excited for frost and snow and I've not been able to find any, even up north. Hoping they'll be some before the winter is out. Thank you so much for the lovely comment and for watching my first proper go at this :) Claire 💚🌿

Claire, one thing about cold weather you need to use a fill bag for your sleeping pad. This will stop moisture from your breath condensing inside the pad, helping keep you warmer.

I have done that before , used dead limbs and trees camping and plastic garbage bags to make it water proof . Worked great , made a teepee with opening at the peak so I could make a fire inside

Brilliant vlog Claire, awesome way to stay over in the woods. We used to make them yrs ago but had fallen pine and conifer branches as covers. Shows how strong it was at the end. Keep enjoying yourself, always interesting, helpful and fun to watch. All the best 💚

Claire, that was so good! You did a great job of the shelter and, what an effort it was to bring it down. You certainly made it strong and the triangle design is a winner! The firewall was such a clever design. Loved the idea of creating slots to drop the logs into, which wouldn’t have occurred to me. Shame the logs were a bit wonky, but you could always plug those gaps with mud and leaves. Really enjoyed seeing you do something a wee bit different 👍🏻

Another great video. I enjoy them so much. Big fan. I knew it would take a bit to knock it down. Stay beautiful WildBeare. Thx

Good day lovely shelter as long as you keep the sparks away from it Trick for making fire wood without a saw Right behind your shelter is a tree with a V in it Take the branches you want to "cut" down to size put one end in the V of the tree 6 in 12 in what ever works for you Then push or pull the branch it should snap off at whatever size you need NOTE some wood is very fibery that kind does need a saw Have a good week

Amazing job, nice to see that you had clear nights and your meals looked very tasty ❤🎉❤

Omg she so cute 😍 wildbeare

It takes the other Bear a whole team of experts to build his shelters for him.

You make it look so interesting and easy, i am hugely impressed young lady, please stay safe out there.

I keep expecting Ray Meares to come swinging from the trees,singing,Im the firestarter.

With just leaves on the outside hope you didn't get alot of strong winds that would blow down your walls. I have done the same but I used moss and leaves. You're quite the outdoor spirit, if I were 40 years younger I might do it some more. I loved camping. Birch bark is a natural fire starter you can take it out of a stream and it will light. Here in colorado we use aspen bark not quite as good but it works now get yourself a flint and steel. love your vids.

Great video young lady...can't wait for the next one!!

pro or not, it looked amazing well done! and its been a joy watching😊
