This is my new favorite wild camping video. Your capacity for laughter and eye for peace and tranquility are a perfect balance.

So refreshing to see a KZreadr who doesn't take themselves too seriously and so obviously enjoys what they're doing. We've all had many fails before and it's all part of the fun and learning experience. One of mine was standing on a bed at home to reach the top of a wardrobe where my rucksack is stored. The wooden slats on the bed gave way and instead of spending a night in the Lake District under the stars, I spent a night in A&E with a broken toe! Looking forward to viewing many more of your future adventures!

Not talking about 'how to save 10 grams', not talking about what's the best gear... etc... what a relief. Big thumbs up!

ikr. The same issue in cycling. People incessantly talking about saving 10g per brake rotor, 30g per tyre and 100g per tent while being 15kg-20kg overweight. I do remote 3 day camps regularly on an electric mountain bike, and take a tent, ground sheet, tarp and rope for extra coverage, inflatable bedroll, sleeping bag, fold up chair, fold up table, cooking set, fishing rod and tackle kit, 60k mAh worth of power banks, a tablet and gopro, a UE Boom, and decent repair kit. All my mates have these carbon fiber bikes with paper thin tyres, tents made of fly screen, take nothing with them, constantly complain about comfort and punctures yet still have the nerve to constantly talk about the few hundred grams i could have saved in gear, and how all the dead weight i bring with me is a burden while they fix their bike and tent with the tools i brought for the second time that day, using my table/stove to cook the food that i gave them, charging their phone on the power bank i provide and listening to music on my boom while we wait. All while they talk about how "they don't need any of the rubbish i bring, its way to hard on their body and takes away from the experience", and how much better the experience would have been if we spent another $300 on a tent that weighs 50g less, and had lighter tyres.

@@lucideuphoria7092 Delusion, unfortunately, is part of the human condition and some people revel in it. Your mates sound like idiots who successfully swallow their own bullshit, at their own expense. Group-think I'm afraid. What's worse is them availing of your conveniences while ironically entertaining their own confirmation biases. You just described most of the equipment I take on my own ebike camping/fishing trips and they all have their uses. Let those idiots fork out extra for a reduced experience and don't compensate them for their failures. Enjoy what you're doing. From a Dublin hiker👍.

Hi there. I'm just a total stranger on the internet but I urge you to look into treating cancer with cannabis oil, it has been proven to cure cancers (of course not a 100% success rate) but it greatly increased my Dads lifespan, he was too lazy with it unfortunately, such as drinking red wine (high in sugar and cancer feeds on sugar). Try learn everything you can about it, it's more than worth it. What have you got to lose?!

G’day Darwin, I know this bad chemo days all too well. I came across Joe Robinet a few years ago during a bad round of chemo that was following a round of radiation. Bushcraft and outdoor videos helped get me through those days. And now my brain tumor is growing again, so outdoor adventures mean even more once again. Best wishes to you.

Claire, you have the best attitude. I believe the difference between disaster and adventure is attitude, and you rip your tarp, slip down the hill, and confront a twilight move with a laugh and a smile and genuine delight. So many could learn much from your attitude. I have to say I look forward to each of your videos, knowing they will be buoyant with positivity and filled with incredible natural beauty keenly observed through your lens. Thank you, as always, for bringing us along.

No mosquitoes and no rodents running over one's face. It doesn't get much better than that. British outdoors folks really impress me with their adventurous spirit, making the most with their island.

So pleasing to watch you deal with adversity. Nothing seems to upset you , you deal with it and move on . Thank you for sharing your adventure . Please BE SAFE.

Good on you Claire. So pleased you had a good night's sleep, and never lost your sense of humour. Such nights are priceless xxx

Simple trips like this can be amazing. No need to complicate things more than you have to when you are going out to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The person that hasn't made a mistake hasn't done anything. Your sweet innocence makes me smile. It's a great gift to have Claire. ATB. Michael😄👍

'Sat on a packet of crisps' is hilarious.

People aren't perfect, they have accidents, make mistakes. It's how they adapt and overcome that tells you about them. Great video. Glad I found your channel.

Brilliant Claire, just brilliant. I laughed out loud when you slid down the hill. Thank you.

Love this adventure! Learning and growing wiser through experience!

You did make me giggle with the sliding down & sitting on the crisps. You styled it out ☺️

Hi, I'm in Canada and I'm obsessed with all things British, words, phrases, history. I love your accent, I can actually understand it. The southern cockney and the Scottish brogue I have trouble with. You are so affable and human, I love to watch when I'm going to sleep. Like many, I've become distant with my friends bc of covid. You're so friendly and cheerful, it's very uplifting. Thanks, from Wild Rose Country🌸. (Alberta) ✌️🙂

After a day’s work, there’s nothing better than watching one of your vlogs. This one had me laughing, but I was also super impressed how cool you were when you ripped your tarp. Keep up the good work, as it’s much appreciated by us.😊👍

10 out of 10 for pushing through the stealth camp, even after tearing some gear. Kudos to you Wildbear :) Have gladly subbed.

Hi from Germany! For stealth camping l can recomend a tarp in camoflage. Like your british army BASHA. It is very durable (even as a stetcher for emergencys, or also as a hammock type thing for fun) and comes in three different versions of camo - DPM, MTP and Desert DPM. These tarps aren´t expensive and worth it. l like your videos, watched nearly all so far, and l am subscribed for more! Viele Grüße Torsten

Proud moments. Nothing better than a woman embracing the outdoors in proper fashion. All the best

Real nice video. Brilliantly honest and light hearted camping trip. Your enthusiasm and personality really shine. Thanks!

You have no idea how much you help me with my mental health, you are amazing xxx

Cant think of anything better than waking up and looking up at the stars outside :) Beautiful! Your videos make me feel glad to be alive!!

Thank you again Claire. I was having a miserable early morning shift and I thought I'd cheer myself up by watching one of your videos. I know what you mean about the South I live on the edge of the South Downs near Worthing, and finding somewhere in solitude is practically impossible. I just ride my mountain bike till it's quiet!! I must try a bit of wild camping. Thanks again for putting a 😊 on my face yet again. Take care.

Great video Claire. I love tarp camping, its so versatile and lightweight.

I like how jolly you are even after ripping things. 😎

Thanks for another lovely video. You make it all look so much fun and so calm. Brightened my Monday for sure. Inspiring me to go out and have a go.

You sliding around under your tarp was absolutely hilarious, very funny indeed. There is something magical the way you present your videos 👍🏻

This took me back to when I was a kid visiting my uncles farm and we slid down hillsides in fertiliser sacks... before health and safety was invented

Are you English? Did you ever watch that PSA about the dangers of farms and why children shouldn’t play around them? Weird PSA I tell ya, but those kids didn’t stand a chance!

Nothing better than a cold morning and ignoring it in your sleeping bag. I haven't made the transition to a tarp. Perhaps in the Winter I could go for it but not with the bugs of Summer. There might be a new product for backpacking- the slip in slide. Good you go out for the weekend, it refreshes the spirit. It keeps you smiling which is a plus.

Battle scars, all good. Just like Blue Peter..."Here's one I ripped earlier" you are the only KZreadr I have watched who has been scared by a packet of crisps and doesn't fully understand gravity and rolling downhill. Great video lots of LOLs here, thank you so much.

You're so adorable. I love how you find humour in awkward moments.

You are such a pleasant young lady with excellent presenting skills, who makes camping as much fun, adventurous and pleasurable as it's meant to be. I am a "wannabe" camper but unfortunately my home circumstances make it extremely difficult for me. Watching people like you, Paul Messner, Patrick Dickinson and a good few others, I have learnt so much that hopefully one day, if I ever get the opportunity, I will have the confidence to go and make an adventure of my own.

Mooorning, just cracks me up every time Claire. I'm loving watching you grow and having fun during your real life escapades. At this rate it won't take you long to climb up the learning curve as a very accomplished female outdoor adventurer.

Relatively new here....but this is very quickly becoming a “must watch” channel. The can do attitude is an inspiration, hope your channel goes from strength to strength, because you most certainly deserve it too.

Reasonably new here but really enjoy watching the content you're putting out. And a big well done for Tarp night out, something I want to do but only used tents so far myself. Keep up the great postings and always welcome to arrange a hike and camp if ever you are up for some company along the way...

I like the fade-out at the end of the video 😊

But i am so relieved to be part of nature like you are. It is fun and at night looking up and seeing over a million stars all twinkling like diamonds with the Moon beams jumping on the lake. Thank you so much for all you share.. Regards Mick from Hampshire. Xx

Great views off the hill there. Slept under a tarp for years, best way if the weathers reasonable

I'm glad I watched it looked like fun. Stay safe.

That is so cosy, in a good warm sleeping bag in nature. It doesn´t get any better than that!

Bravo...! Votre naturel et votre spontanéité sont si agréables...!

So lovely to see you not getting drenched.

Claire, you are like a breath of fresh air.

Thank you so much for the great lists you put above, in the description section. You would love being here in Arizona. No need for a tarp; the stars or moon are on full display. No mosquitoes, and so easy to get away from people. I love it here!! It is so nice to find people who love sleeping outdoors as much as I do!

OMG! I still laughing every time I remember you sliding down the hill on top of the mat. You made my day. You are resilient, witty and funny. Keep it up. You are doing great.

Another good video - and hats off, April was sunny but with a biting wind and cold in the evenings/mornings. Plus a tip for the Tenacious Tape: if you're cutting a piece from the roll (always try and get the roll that comes in a tube - like a big plastic bolt) then round off the corners if you have scissors or snick the corners off (before you remove the backing paper) so it's lozenge shaped. Even less likely to catch the corner and cause it to peel away. Plus, for thin fabrics, a patch on both sides especially if you didn't get a chance to clean it before repair. If you'd had a rope with you could have belayed around the tree trunk and then slipped a bowline around your body under your armpits. Wouldn't have gotten any sleep but you wouldn't have slid down the hill either ;o)

I love watching your videos, they're informative, they offer a personal challenge, but most of all you have fun, you always wake up happy (I'm sometimes grumpy) and you look forward to the next adventure.

Got over that pretty quick ! I used a extendable hiking stick as a pole rubber handle that will not damage the tarp .Happy days Claire

Funny slip n' slide. Fun video.

Nice video, thank you Claire. It's nice too see you happy, as you learn on the spot

Excellent, as always.

Loved this. On your own sliding down the hill. Brilliant. What a really entertaining vid. Thanks.

I used to do a lot of backpacking in my teens and twenties (forty years ago). I didn't have a single occasion where I slid down a hill in my bed. Four or five maybe, but not one. None of mine were as funny as yours.😂 Now that I'm retired I think I'm going to get back on the trail thanks to you and your friend homemade wanderlust.
