Hello Wild Ones
Join me for Mini Adventures.. Wandering & Sleeping Wild
I love hiking, wild camping & all the good stuff nature has to offer. I'm a lone parent, and a lone wolf. Just doing what I can with the limited free time that I have, and learning as I go
I believe that 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 has an inalienable right to roam responsibly in the wild places and sleep under the stars
Thanks for stopping by :) Claire 🐻

GREAT SOUNDTRACK...
Wow!! How lucky for you ! Your own private show. Amazing experience. Thanks for sharing.
We had the same thing here, ( Calgary, AB. ) definitely breathtaking.
You pulled lucky on your weekend for certain. I was out, and slept through the whole thing. I had noticed that the moon had gone a weird colour on my way up the road.
You luck bear, I missed them compleatly
If was man made
It’s funny. I rarely subscribe to KZread channels and, even when I do, it is normally only a week or two before I get distracted and fire up my starship to seek out some refreshingly new online content. But no longer because Wildbeare’s down to earth channel now holds me securely in its orbit, being a sparkling gem of a production that broadcasts both a polish and a patina that always manages to deliver way more than the sum of its individual component parts. So, yes, I am thrilled to appreciate I am now joining a community of over 320,000 like minded souls who already enjoy an author, director and producer delivering so many human layers and levels that the channel effortlessly examines and radiates back to us. And it is fascinating to appreciate that such a tally of subscribers would fill the UK’s Wembley stadium 3 times over. To be frank, though not to be confused with Wildbeare’s own pneumatic sidekick companion, Frank, I’m entirely intimidated by Claire’s formidable photographic, video and drone based technical expertise to the point of being humbled and inspired in equal measure and, given time, (a resource I poignantly don’t have so much of these days), I realise I will have to up my own game if I ever wish to use my own arsenal of creative tech to, one day, ever produce the calibre of production I witness here on this extra-ordinary channel. Side note: My own kit, now being deployed to document my own particular idiosyncratic passions reflect my love of West Dorset’s spectacular Jurassic coastal scenery, topography and ancient history and includes a Nikon p950 camera with 83X zoom lens, an Insta360 VR camera, a Go Pro camera, a pair of Meta Ray Ban smart photo / video AI based sunglasses, a delightful DJI Mini 3 Pro drone plus a dedicated personal WordPress website, (currently private), though I might add that this is not a shameless plug for any kind of online attention because my own projects, selfishly, remain entirely private offline personal endeavours. I digress. *Solar Camping Under Northern Lights* Wildbeare wrote; _”It feels so profound to me_ _The vastness of the human experienced_ _The burden that we carry as emotional sentient beings_ _To feel. To care … sometimes too much.”_ Yes. And just like your own bewilderment while viewing the ethereal beauty you witnessed at Eryri, sometimes the wonder, the mystery and the unfathomable terror of the unknown can be unsettling; _though would we wish things to be any different?_ Not gonna dwell on it, (and life is fab, thanks), but I have inoperable prostate cancer and, as hinted above, my own time is finite so, sure, although I’ve always been a passionate and inspired individual easily capable of becoming profoundly moved by even the subtlest expression of nature, these days, my lens upon the world has become a searing, searching magnifying glass where I see and experience everything at far higher resolution. *Treasured Pastimes* With home being a quirky coastal market town in West Dorset, I’m currently documenting my county’s mysterious ancient iron age hillforts, mystical standing stones and prehistoric henges via a range of assorted camera and drone based technologies all capable of delivering photos and videos in regular, 3D and 360 degree format; along with fieldwalking other sites of geological and archaeological interest including an unscheduled Anglo-Romano villa site where I’ve been plucking Roman coins, brooches and pottery shards from the soil for over 40 years! Side note: Whenever the farmer’s tractor deep ploughs the rich mineralised soil, I field walk and spot unearthed Roman coins by eye, being the first human being to view the bronze or silver face of a Roman emperor staring back at me in nearly 2000 years; from an age when Jesus Christ himself was, allegedly, alive and handling exactly the same kind of, now ancient, coinage. *Escape Or Arrival?* Wildbeare’s own adventures, often experienced in spectacular ancient landscapes bathed in the light of the stars of our own Milky Way, earth so easily with my own sense of belonging to this little spinning rock we currently call home and I find myself pondering, “Am I exploring the mysterious and oldest corners of my ancient Dorset topography as some form of an emotional escape from my ails OR am I, rather, aligning myself with a primeval, innate natural sense of “just being” and in that process, emotionally arriving at a sacred inner personal destination or place or time in space that requires neither a token, a name or any kind of a label to explain or define itself at all? No matter because, whatever it is, emotionally, psychologically or spiritually, it takes me exactly where I need to be. *Gratitude* Wildbeare wrote; _”To live through fear, trauma, pain and loss_ _but also to love and be loved_ _To achieve things both big and small_ _To feel excitement and wonder_ _To be able to experience and appreciate unspeakable beauty_ _what a convoluted, messy and wonderful thing it is to be alive”_ Ah, but we need such stark contrast, Claire. We need such context and conflict because, in the same way we may need salt to act as a backdrop on our tongue to appreciate the taste of our food, we need the conflicting contrast of good & bad or light & dark or life & death to deliver us calibration and true meaning to this “convoluted, messy and wonderful thing” we call life. Whether it is you experiencing the discomfort of your “floppy joints” or me experiencing one of my own occasional “challenging days,” we all need the negative aspects of existence to be present in order for us to even be able to evaluate the positive blessings we sometimes find ourselves humbly accepting at certain times in our lives. *Thoughts On Consciousness* Wildbeare wrote; _”It feels so profound to me_ _The vastness of the human experienced_ _The burden that we carry as emotional sentient beings_ _To feel. To care … sometimes too much”_ Yes, Claire. You describe the _burden_ we carry as emotional sentient beings where we might assume and describe the human experience and sentience itself as being some expression of consciousness. “Cogito, ergo sum” The philosophy of Rene Descartes. “I think therefore I am” But what if consciousness is fundamental rather than emergent? (Like mass or electrical charge.) What if consciousness, itself, is the source or the very Lego building blocks of existence in the universe rather than being a rare or elusive characteristic only a higher intelligence might be capable of manifesting? What if we humans are as wrong about the concept of reality and existence as we once were about believing that the earth was the heliocentric hub of the known universe? What if every atom, proton, electron or neutron, (or the very heart of quantum phenomena itself), is an embodiment of some, all encompassing, underlying universal consciousness? Intriguingly, the world over, there are many religious, spiritual and cultural beliefs that share exactly such a view and we have a name for it. It’s called panpsychism. It is one of the oldest philosophical theories mankind has ever posited and the philosopher, Plato, a student of one of my historical heroes and role models, Socrates, first pondered the concept 2,400 years ago. Indeed, during the 19th century, it was the most popular European belief of the era. So maybe, that night on the 10th of May, 2024, you personally witnessed an expression of such a thing manifesting in the skies above your head though even if such a left field concept of panpsychism is a little to much to comprehend, what you witnessed remains an amazing reoccurring theme connected with the very creation of life itself! *Stardust* Obviously, with my cancer thing ticking away like a bit of a time bomb, I probably ponder my own mortality a little bit more than some, (though I repeat; I’m a happy enough soul), but really, with all of us being sired from the elements of original “simple” hydrogen and helium stars that had to die in massive supernova explosions to even become the crucibles that later created the exotic materials us human beings would eventually be constructed from, well, there’s some cool “continuity” going on in such a process and, in that sense, what you witnessed by seeing the evidence of a coronal mass ejection in person and in real time is, by its very nature, a kind of mystical, spiritual or fundamental life creating mechanism that just blows the mind. And yeah. “It’s weird” and “It’s mad” and I can, very much, understand your wish to have wanted to have “Someone to talk about it.” Someone to share the extra-ordinary surreal experience you witnessed that night. Final thought? Whether we are a moss covered rock on a remote Eryi promontory, a hovering hawk in a wild northern landscape, a lone camping Wild One battling storms in a tarp or a swirling black hole gobbling up planets and stars, we are all, somehow, intimately connected - just like the more than a quarter of a million subscribers who enjoy viewing your channel here on KZread. 🙂 “Solar Camping Under Northern Lights” was a really profound episode and a wonderful example of serendipity at play. Right. Time for a cuppa! Beach
NOT a once in a lifetime event!! I saw a similarly amazing show over my old home town of Lewes, Sussex back in 1992. But so pleased you witnessed this one (I missed it because I went to bed too early that night!), and thanks for making this wonderful video!
You’ve captured it well! Greetings from Norway!😊
Great Videos, but a word of warning!!! My wife's friend was on top of a mountain in Poland. She was taking a photo and stepped back and fell off the cliff. When they found her she was still alive but later died. She was a very talented Violinist. I know you love life but please don't make the same mistake. ♥
Not gonna lie. Not hearing or knowing about it and then seeing that would've been unnerving. Great shots of it though!
Northern lights are a regular occurrence where I live. Sometimes it's strong, vivid, green, purple and pink, other times it's just a pale, green haze. Sometimes it shifts fast across the sky, like a snake or like it's coming down like swords to poke you, lighting up the world, and sometimes it's docile, just twinkling a bit. Either way, it still brings tears to my eyes! I don't think you ever can be indifferent to it! You get reminded of how small you are, and how magnificently magical the world is! 💖
Ive seen some stars in my time camping ...but never like that...i would have sat out all night gazing at them...the best things in life are free ....god bless you❤
What I love about this was it was the pure raw human reaction to this with no preconceived idea as to what it was! Phenomenal !
Great Videos. But a word of warning!!! 🙏My wife is a Violinist as her very talented friend. Her friend was on top of a mountain in the Tatras in Poland . She was taking a photo and stepped back to far and fell off the cliff edge. When they found her she was still alive but later died. I know you love life but please don't make the same mistake. ♥
Wow Claire, that's amazing what an experience 💕
Are there sighns in them woods ..."".tread carefully these woods have clairebeares"" 😂god bless you❤
H.A.R.R.P testing caused those
Omg you are super lucky, thankyou Claire for sharing this amazing moment, I got quite emotional watching this video, thankyou again lovely ❤
Wow, you were so lucky to have witnessed such an incredible experience. Love and light Clare. ❤
I saw the aurora I’m my back garden , but I knew it was coming. It was still an incredible sight , I would have questioned my senses if I didn’t know what it was or it was going to happen
Glad you got to see them, given you weren't aware of the event. I wasn't either, but annoyingly I was out at an area that would have made for good viewing (relative to my area at least) only I had started to come home a while after dusk and knew nothing about what I could've been watching until I got home. If I'd stayed another hour then maybe I would have seen it.
Beautiful, excellent capture of extraordinary event
Thank you for these wunderful views of the creations of the mighty Lord God bless You ❤️
Thank you for the video
I stayed up until 2 am here in Tennessee, USA hoping to get a time lapse video of Aurora. Yours are beautiful! Well done!
Wonderful video
Wow Very Nice Video Dear Good Job 👌👍 Beautiful ❤️ God Bless You All Best Wishes To You ❤️🙏🏻❤️
It is very strange I first saw them while in Alaska
Best coverage of an aurora event ever! Commentary and images gel into an amazing video that is a privilege to watch! Thank you for sharing Claire! Brilliant work!
❤
❤
Great footage and narration. Perfect music choice for the lights
Cut the camo net so there are no straight edges, straight lines are a givaway and stand out In nature.
One of the best wild camping/ random adventure channels on KZread!
very thank ;-)
❤
Awesome vid! And no… thank you! For your vids. It always helps me to get away from what I’m dealing with and enjoying your vids being out in places I wish I could go. So thank you!
Truly humbling experience. Clare you are blessed being so lucky to witness the majesty & beauty of nature in all it's glory.
OMG, you are so naturally pretty.
What a great experience, and fantastic videography as well!
I see them every winter here in Swedish Lapland, but I never get jaded with the experience. Feels like the gods dancing every time.
The app AuroraAlerts tells you what to expect during the next 24 hours.
So so cool.
slug trauma who knew hahaha
God's universe is a beautiful place.
Thank you for your experience in seeing the northern lights. The lights were seen here in Hawaii, too.
Amazing, Claire! No wonder you cried and were initially overwhelmed by the experience. So, glad that Aliens didn't whisk you away. Or did they lol :)
Stealth Sudoku lol. Well done, Claire! :)
Talk about being in the right place at the right time! I’m so jealous! Beautiful shots ❤️
