Solo Tarp Camping in Heavy Rain & Hail 🌧️ at a Beautiful Forest Lake in the Mountains
I spent a night under a tarp with heavy rain and hail, unexpectedly coming in sideways 😄 This was such a beautiful camp, next so a forest lake in the mountains, and I even got to have a dip in the lake in the rain 🌧️ Despite a poor night sleep, I loved this night in the wild!
Thank you so much for watching my lil vid 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

"Doing nothing" Is so underrated. Time to decompress, wipe the slate clean. Please keep the wonderful videos coming!
😍😍😍...a natural experience without all the paraphernalia and marketing of other KZread creators
Bonjour Claire, I feel you must be someone whom is very comfortable with herself and the natural world around her. Your love of life and curiosity to explore is a real treat for all of us whom you take along through your videos. Merci beaucoup
What I enjoy most about Claire is her ability to be honest and then process emotions - acknowledging that she felt a bit jaded after the rough night, but then showing appreciation for the experience and location. An immensely high level of emotional maturity which is something we should all aspire towards.

I swear. You're like a woodland elf. Such a chill vibe. Love your videos.
Some nights, way back when I was about your age and doing what you're now doing, I would have loved to have someone as adventurous and as beautiful and as grounded as you to share it with, I so admire your spirit.
I really enjoyed watching this, I never thought I'll see someone who loves rain more than me, simply beautiful
The most relaxing 10 minutes of the week. Thanks for the peace you bring to our lives.

How refreshing to watch a woman out in nature, doing her thing, creating great content and not a single hint of using her sexuality to drive interest in her genuine passion for sleeping under the stars. And no titillating clickbait thumbnail either..! Loved the video. Adored the rain on your tarp. Cosy little set-up and a no doubt bracing dip in the lake. Bravo. Thank you. Subbed. 🙂
Love your videos, spent many years camping but never as adventurous as you, good for you for being so carefree and loving the outdoors so much.
Waking up to birds singing is the greatest thing ever. Last year in the drought I just put out my camp bed and slept beneath the stars. Absolutely amazing for both the view at night and the awesome morning call 😊.
Claire your photography/videograohy is on point on this one. So beautiful! Keep smashing it lass 🤙
It does make you wonder “what am I doing with my life when there’s so much out there!!”❤️🌲

I bet it smells lovely there. It reminds me of my childhood. One of life's great experiences is being in a tent in a wild storm with tremendous thunderbolts and lightening.😂 I love that when it absolutely pours down buckets of water and your tents is pummelled with wind and rain. You look at the roof of your tent and it's like a light show. 😮😂😂 Anyway enjoy !

silly woman! that's how you lose the joy of camping in the wild. hopefully, the next one will be a blast
13 degrees is the perfect temperature for hiking and camping as far as I'm concerned and there's no sound in the world like being under a tarp or in a tent in the rain. I've never been too keen on flying my tarps high like that, every time I do something like this happens and I end up having a miserable sleep because of wind, rain or snow. I'm a big fan of the tarp tent set up (which I believe was the first video of yours that I watched) when I sleep on the ground or I make doors on my tarp around my hammock when I camp with that.

For some reason I get the feeling that a disappointing number of people (and many commenters) might be watching Claire’s videos largely for the bathing suit & titillation aspects. I get that strategies are required to drive up views and likes etc. but I just want to say that the content stands on it’s own merits for me and as a wild camper myself I enjoy watching other people hiking, exploring and wild camping and it’s still interesting even if they are fully clothed and have a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle.
Nice so much. Welcome to Thailand. ❤️❤️❤️

You summed it up, camping is about doing nothing. When I go camping it's my time away from working at a job, working around the house, bills and being around people, its just me and nature. This is how i reset to keep going and not burn out. Stay safe.
Beautiful and very peaceful!! Ty
