    I'm old... 65 to be honest... From a child though my favorite thing has been lying in a shelter of varying "quality" while a storm whips around me while staying warm and dry. There are few shelters I haven't tried including, nowadays, a 35' travel trailer but under a poncho in the Forces and worse in the past but when the rain falls and the wind whips I almost can't sleep - because it feels so good to be out in the elements and comfortable. Nice work Beare...

    I loved this one, the idea of making a rectangle into a tents is wonderful. You're so full of life and energy, it's uplifting to watch your videos, thank you. I dislocated my left ankle in 1968 in a climbing accident. I had two operations on it, resulting in a pin being inserted to hold it together. I'm 75 now and can still get out for walks on the wild Yorkshire moors. I'm so pleased that your ankle wasn't more badly damaged and is recovering. As you say, you will need to be careful with it from now on. HUG.

    Your videos are what persuaded me to try wild camping for the first time in November. I'd never tarp camped before either, but it was lovely and was exactly like the ambient feeling your videos have once I was all tucked up in my shelter listening to the rain pitter patter down on my magic carpet. I can't wait until exams are over so I can get out camping again! Thank you for inspiring me

  • @hughbarton5743

    This is such a wonderful improvement on the typical DIY camping videos. I love how you try new stuff, and figure out how to make it work. Also, your absolutely contagious and obvious joy in your work is inspirational ( and reminds us all to get up, stand up, don't give up the fight!) It's all too easy to say "well, the weather is looking sketchy..." and stay home. And grow old, lose your hard-earned conditioning, sit on the sofa, get stressed out..... Your Zen- like approach to life's little speed bumps is to be commended.
    Don't sweat the small stuff.
    And, guess what: with a bit of luck, all your challenges and troubles will be small stuff.
    Thanks so much! I look forward to the next thing you will show us.
    Be well.

    By way of encouragement regarding your injury...
    I blew an ACL playing volleyball in 1996. My ACL was completely destroyed, enough that my orthopedist actually didn't have to do any cleanup when he did the reconstruction surgery using my patellar ligament in 2020. Major injury.
    Though I don't play volleyball any more, in 2011 I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, in 2012 Mount Rainier, and 2015 Mount Adams. Just this past October I climbed up (and then descended a few days later) Asgard Pass with a fully loaded backpack.
    The upshot is that it will only hold you back if you stop trekking.
    All the best for your recovery... and I hope you keep making these lovely videos :)

    Claire, that was simply brilliant. The enclosed tarp shelter is better than some of the tents I’ve seen. As always, lovely photography and editing. I was very glad to hear the update on your ankle, though the injury was worse than first thought. Hopefully you can rehab your ankle and brace it such that you can have many more adventures in the wild.

    You did well with your "tarp" tent. Condensation is often a problem in a single wall, but by keeping the tarp side off off the ground and away from the tent you can handle it well. One more simple trick to keep the "ridge" from sagging so much, string a line under the ridge. I know it might appear to be redundant, but fabric has a grain, and when you go diagonal to the grain, it will stretch or sag, and the grain on your tarp is parallel to the sides, so by adding a line that is quite taut, it will keep it from sagging. (I was a professional tent designer for 30+ years). Good video.

    I watch your videos, and you do things I wouldn’t imagine doing. Bears are so much part of the consideration here in northern Canada; I could never cook in my tent. I’d be inviting mayhem. Mosquitoes are also ever-present, so the open spaces between the parts of the tarp tent would make life in the tent difficult. The peace you have camping is wonderful. I’m glad you share the experiences you have!

    Hello. Your videos inspire me to go backpack camping like I did years ago!
    Like you, I enjoy tarp camping for the simplistic and light weight use of shelter. The set up you used for this trip was fantastic and versatile. But light weight tarps can get worn out after a few trips and though they are less expensive that a decent tent, I still liked to save my gear for future adventures. An idea you can use that only costs you ounces and little money on this particular set up is this.
    Once you have the tarp staked out, have an old tarp that is no longer waterproof tucked under the floor of your tarp tent and fold it back over the inside of the floor portion of the shelter. Of course, have it a few inches from the outside of the walls pulled inside so rain doesn't gather under or in the floor of the tent. Fold it back over the sleeping area to help protect that area and it will give more life to your tarp. And it is easier to clean up after the trip is over. It has worked for me in the past and I will do it again in the future.
    Be safe and enjoy your time in nature.

    Don't get me wrong. I like the idea, but the takeaway for me from these tarp shelter videos is that people are actually trying to avoid real tents for some reason. If you can carry a tarp, you can carry a tent just as easily if not more easily, and will likely be a better shelter with no open seams.
