I think my favorite aspect of your channel is that you're not afraid of showing trips that don't go perfectly. It's absolutely right to bail if you don't feel comfortable and it's great that you show that instead of suffering through a miserable night

They were probably just two people like you, but they set up in the dark to wild camp. But...... being a lady in the woods, on your own, you did the right thing. Always better safe than sorry.

You made the right decision. As a lone female your safety is paramount..

She always takes risks. Unnecessary ones too. Some of the terrain she traverses is just bad choice for a solo camper. People who backpack tend to stay on well-established paths, not climb over jagged rock outcroppings for the scenic views. Her choice of places to pitch aren't the best either.

Intuition is a powerful survival tool; I think you made the wisest choice given the circumstances, Claire. I'm seriously impressed how well you packed up in the dark! The night shots you got back at your car were incredible. You made the best of the situation. 😊 Take care Beare ✌️

U are right about that. I enjoyed a nice short picnic in fall out in woods, it was close to civilization 😂 but that little outing made my day and lifted my spirits

From your personal safety point of view, it's probably better being in your Landy wishing you were in the woods, than being in the woods wishing you were in your Landy. Have to say that the night sky was a definite bonus though; absolutely beautiful.

Keep listening to the little voice inside - never apologise, never feel silly - you’re instincts are designed to keep you safe & we look forwards to a whole 2024 of WildBeare adventures 💜🙏⭐️

I got a very uneasy feeling once while camping in the woods. I left in middle of night and never regretted it. Always better to listen to that inner voice. Beautiful night sky and scenery. Thanks for sharing!

Something you could try out for future stealth camping is to use bungees, just like I did for 22 years in the Army. If we had to bug out you had to quickly pack away & get out of your location! Awesome posts Claire 🌿🐻

Although it was probably other campers, always trust your feelings ..when the danger alarm goes off in your head, listen to it. Great sky shots...loved them:)

That forest is almost as beautiful as you are! Stay safe and God bless.

I was lucky to grow up near a wood. We spent endless days making camps, building dens, roasting potatoes on camp fires, eating wild gooseberries, pears, apples. These videos bring all the happy memories flooding back.

You said it best… “It doesn’t matter!” You are safe and we are happy. Thank you for sharing.

When I watch your videos, I often think, “how nice to be able to eat beside your tent.”&”how nice she doesn’t have to worry about predators” I’ve forgotten the most dangerous predator of all. Also, how nice to see the Milky Way. If you look at the Timelapse just right, it feels like we’re on this giant rollercoaster in the universe. Just stunning.

I'm glad to see that you still got a huge positive from your camp Claire. The stars and the Milky Way looked absolutely spectacular. That's amazing!

I totally get you, Claire! Where I live there are bears, lynx, wolverines, moose and the occasional wolf roaming around. But the only creature I'm ever weary about when camping alone in the wild, are humans! And even if most people (especially those hiking) are good natured, I go to the wild to be alone, enjoying some peace and quiet... 💚🌿

Nothing worse than other people turning up in the area after you've set up camp and having to be on edge all night. You made the right choice there, as enjoying the experience outweighs having to be there.

You are right Claire, humans are the scariest thing!😮

Glad you listened to your instincts, nature gave them to us for a reason. Despite your early exit it’s another great video👍

Right move. And until you've sat there in the dark in the middle of the night watching lights move toward you, you really don't know how frightening it can be.

Trusting your instincts is another camping skill. Fab night sky pictures !

Not a misadventure, just another experience. You did the right thing. Probably, those people were brothers/sisters in mind - but who knows. You made the right decision and thanks for sharing your experience with us. Another answer to the question:'what would Claire do?' Good guidelines for us freshmen.... Maybe it would make sense to have a night vision gear. Packing your stuff in the dark might be easy for you but finding your way and avoid obstacles, gullies, holes etc not. Looking forward to the next adventures of the intrepid Claire. Hope your ankle has recovered. Cheers, carry on, Wild One!

A wooded starry sky is one of my favourite adventures! People don't look up enough! 😊

A night in nature is always better than a night in general. You always bring the story for us when you camp, love it.

When I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's, my parents did not have a problem letting me go out on my own. However times are different, and it was awhile before I would let my kids go out alone in the woods. Old saying, "it's better to be safe than sorry." Beautiful night sky and it was an awesome set up. Until next time, your friends in Florida 🌴

Can't be too careful Claire and although it was sad packing up your cosy little camp it's always best to follow your instincts and be safe rather than sorry . Maybe you could return there sometime as it was a lovely pitch . A nice , short adventure none the less .

Morning ❤🎉 have a nice day 😊

Thank you ❤

Beautiful camp, amazing astrophotography!! Did the right thing. Always pay attention, if something doesn't feel right, it's probably not. You are a smart woman! I love your adventures, attitude, talks and advice. You are a beautiful soul! Stay safe and adventure on.

Good call on following your instinct on this one Claire 👍 Too many people don't unfortunately. Still looks like you made the best of it though :) Hopefully you're able to get out on another overnighter soon... in better circumstances. Have an amazing week my friend! And as always... Stay Wild 🐻 John

I can't wait to try tarp camping it looks awesome. Shame you had to leave, I get that,.. I want to be alone too when out camping. Once someone walked past my tent 1 in the morning and started to talk to me whilst his dog was barking away, I asked him to leave but he came back 10 mins later and eventually I had to pack up and go. He was strange saying I looked like a UFO had landed in the woods. Love your videos and places you visit. Hope your ankle gets better soon

I fully understand you being cautious , if it does not feel right then follow your instinct

It's wiser to be cautious. You never know when there are others around, what type of person/people they are. Love your content. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

Sweetheart your safty is paramount above ALL else! iinstinct kicked in with a bit of fear and thats enough! you did the right thing, the woodland will be there for another day! I love your videos been wild camping with my family on and off for years from Dartmoor, welsh valleys and Dorset now 60 those days are gone for me but I still have my memories and photo`s! take care and looking forward to some awsome views!

Being a young lady by yourself, you absolutely did the right thing in leaving. I've just started watching tour videos and am surprised at how far you go by yourself with no protection. It's more of a shame that society has become so bad that you can't go out and enjoy yourself in the outdoors. Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good trips. A big hug from Texas USA.

Great, as usual. When in doubt, get out. Even if they weren't looking for trouble, they were causing you stress. Reason enough move on. You don't go camping to deal with stress. Good job.

Once again you've captured a lovely relaxing scene Claire...until the suss bit I remember as a young solo surfer camping in the 70's. A group of wanna be crims/bikers came from nowhere in the night. Started threatening and stole my surfboard Now 67, I'm still haunted by that night...but still solo camping and surfing 😉 Thanks again

Hello Claire, it’s not silly. Always always safety first this world is full of bad people. Get in the truck, lock the doors and sleep away. 😊
