  • My first multi-night camping trip with a tarp was wonderful and frustrating in equal measure, in a beautiful late-autumn mountain landscape. I also tried using a LifeStraw for this trip, which I really enjoyed! It felt so ‘free’ not having to lug water about, but it did require some acrobatics haha

      A way to keep the bottom of your trekking pole in place. Find a drink bottle or other plastic bottle that the hand end of your trekking pole will fit in. Cut it down to make a small cup. Put a small hole in the middle of the bottom. When needed Put the cup where needed ,put a tent peg through the hole in the cup and stake it down. Put the hand end in the cup. Now if it gets bumped the bottom of the pole won't slip.

I don't think I would ever use a tarp again after the slug incident and go for a fully enclosed tent especially given a tarp won't keep out ticks, slugs or my worst fear spiders. You're very brave!

    Claire,
    We kinda take it for granted but you're all alone so you are your own camera person, how did you learn your skills for cinematography? You have great camera work, multiple camera angles including aerial shots all edited perfectly. Did you go to film school?
    What cameras do you use ? How do you achieve your camera setups? What editing software do you use? How do you blend it all seamlessly together including the music?
    Maybe I'm asking too many trade secrets, sorry.
    It would really be cool if you did a behind the scenes video explaining how you are able to create the magic being a solo production crew of 1 person.
    Anyways love the work! Keep the adventures coming!

    This was quite a video! I am always astonished by your ability to thrive in some pretty challenging conditions! Very amazing. I love to watch your videos as I like to hike and camp. I am astonished though at your willingness to use an open tarp and ground sheet in rain and heavy wind and soggy ground. I admit appreciate a conventional tent with poles to keep the rain and wind out. I was very entertained by the Lifestraw and of course especially how you demonstrated drinking straight out of the source. That looks super inconvenient but also looks like a very useful backup. Your videos are beautiful! I live in USA so I'm not familiar with those areas at all. The SLUGS FREAK ME OUT A LITTLE. We don't have anything like that where I am and it's likely because it gets very cold here in the winter. I can't image waking up with those crawling all over your tent and everything including your own self! Wow. Thanks for working really hard to share something really nice!

    Another amazing video, Claire! I enjoy all your vids, but this one may be my all time fave so far. Your enthusiasm, humour and above all, your overt joy and happiness derived from simply enjoying nature are an inspiration to us all. This was a fantastic reminder that the great outdoors doesn't shut down for the winter. With the minimal amount of the right kit, winter outdoors can be as enjoyable as all the other seasons. Love the fact that you're willing to share your own learning curve, as nobody ever learned anything by never messing up from time to time. However, your solutions are always well thought through and highly intelligent, when you encounter difficulties. I'm starting to "gush" a bit now, but just wanted to say well done for all you do and for inspiring many of us to get out of the house and enjoy what's out there. Also, loved the drinking straw montage at the end [comedy magic] :D

    Well Claire, when I see some of the country that you inhabit, with its spring fed streams and lakes, the addition of a fly-rod, reel and a handful of flies, will enhance your experience tenfold. The added weight would be measured in grams.
    The art (and it is art) will lift you, truly, into the higher echelons of nature and its exultedness.

    Claire, Claire, Claire. Good to see you out and about on another adventure.
    Love the contrast of landscape colors. You are an impressive Lass as you constantly evolve in skills, gear, and mindset.
    In the Algonquin Park I love so much I'd be more concerned about evening visits by bears, moose, wolves and snakes etc. Especially if my legs are sticking out of my shelter.
    I absolutely love your tenacity and grit. Life isn't always perfect. But it does teach valuable lessons along the way.
    Well done all around. Doesn't Lifestraw have a 3L hang up filter bag?
    Anyways, I enjoyed the excursion and as someone else commented. It's better than what's on tv.
    Many blessings Lass. Irish Bob says hello and enjoy your upcoming Christmas and New Years.😇🤗😎🍀🇨🇵

      Hello dear Irish Bob :) 👋 thank you so much, it was beautiful out there despite the moody darkness that weekend, I loved it
      LifeStraw may do a 3L filter bag, I'm not sure. But I've since got their filter squeeze bottle, which I'm loving! I used it on my snowy wild weekend (on the editing pile) and it was really convenient
      You have some scary wildlife in your parts! We are quite fortunate here.. the only thing I fear here is ticks haha
