- With the temperature set to fall to freezing, I started out on my journey up high with my home on my back. Two summits, a steep section and a lake with only Orion for company - bliss!

#Hiking #WildCamping #Adventure
The saddest part of UA-cam is that I can not give Claire’s films more than one thumbs up. Not a content creator…. A true documentarian and film maker. Stunning work I look forward to each time .
Me too 😂I keep checking every week for updates. It's quite relaxing to see her just hike and enjoy nature. Wish I had her bravery
There is so much crap on UA-cam. So many people who are influencers or marketers or they post total nonsense and fKe everything.
Claire has made her own mark on UA-cam her content is entertaining be it an 8 minute local video or her usual wales adventures. Her camera work is fantastic also. No shlocky 360. Views or overdone drone shots. It’s class and I like it
Ahh thanks! Love making these :) I've spent years working as a photographer so it's been fun learning how to translate that into videography. Thanks for sharing it with me 💚
l feel the same, with every post-Claire posts beautifully put together , the music , scenery, and her gentle voice absolute magic ❤❤
This old man has recently returned from a six week odyssey in Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia. How I wish that I could view on line videos by Claire from this region. With her enormous talent for outdoor documentaries she could have rocked us all with her skill (and beauty).
I love the respect you give for the universe we exist in. We have a short time to enjoy it so let’s make as much of this time as we can. My father is at the end of his journey and has no regrets. I was able to sit with him and hold his hand this past weekend. We didn’t say much and didn’t need to. I’m 51 but still a little boy losing his superhero. At the same time I have been able to share a lifetime with him. He is still fighting so I have some precious time left. I will always know he is returning to the universe more than he came with. Thank you for sharing a part of our world and your beautiful perspective of it. ❤
Your father is preparing for his journey home to where it all started. I pray it will be a peaceful transition.
I'm so sorry about your father 💚 it's so touching that you refer to him as a superhero, what a gift he must have been to you. He will always be with you in your heart and I'm so glad he has no regrets. I can understand why people look to the stars when they think of those who have passed, because just like you said, we are returned to where we came. Almost like we never really end. Hope you will be ok friend
I wish your dad well as he heads towards his next adventure. Thank you for your courage in sharing.
Thank you all. He feels everyone’s love. We are connected so even though you all are across the globe he feels it. I am sure of that.
For personal reasons this post really touched me. I truly feel for both your father & good self.
11 years ago my father passed away, age 61 and I was 31. My mum was 53. I had been to Japan for 2 months working, I was an ex golf Pro & Coach for touring pro players. Arrived so excited to see my parents, called them every 3 days. Dad was my hero too, soul mate and best friend, so I can fully relate. From airport straight to theirs, Dad did an amazing BBQ for us. We laughed all night. Later went inside, parents sat on sofa, I went to fix us some drinks in kitchen. My mum called his name in a panicked voice repetitively, I shot out the kitchen, and dad was staring at me, just fixated on me. I called his name, whipped him off the sofa, began cpr. 2.5 min later, unsuccessful, gone. Never ill, nothing wrong, heart attack.
That night I promised my mum 2 things. That she'll never financially need for absolutely anything, and that I'll never leave her on her own ever. She moved in with me, I brought a bigger home for space and privacy and here we are 11years later.
I still hear his voice every single day and I speak to him every single day too. I had 2 options, to go off the rails in pain or to live my life in his honor and for 2, being he's no longer physically present to enjoy the wonder's of life. I chose the latter.
The pain my friend, never leaves, it just numbs with time. We aren't blinded by the lights and understand that we ain't here forever, but our memories are.
You'll find that the first few Christmases and birthdays are hard and heavy, you'll question yourself feeling guilty for potentially having fun, well, I did. It felt so wrong so didn't. But fact is, dad wouldn't want me to be miserable and neither will yours.
I live in good hope that you both can share more time together, even in silence, as often words don't need to be spoken between a father & son special bond, we simply just know.
I hope that much peace shines on you both and that futuristically you continue to make him feel very proud indeed, as he is currently.
Take good care of yourself.
With kind & Very best regards,
Benjamin 🙏🕯️
So memorable quotes on this adventure. WildBeare said, "Thank you stream." "We're about to lose the sunshine. Goodnight sunshine." "I wonder how many stars this rock has seen?" "I just adore a crisp, and clear Winter sky." Good night WildBeare, thank you. You're not alone.
Claire you are definitely not " nothing " in this world young lady. To me you are God's gift to us to be able to see nature through your eyes and brilliant camera work. Some of us are not able to achieve the adventures you take us on personally so for that we are forever grateful to you for your perseverence in continuing to film and make this possible. Thank you for all of us who ride along on your backpack dear friend. God Bless you as you continue your adventures. Bushyboy Oz.
Totally agree. Well said!
Amen.
Ahh thanks so much, I'm so glad that you can come along with me :D means a lot
Hope you're having a lovely week 💚
🤣🤣
@@joeboyd4726greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 and mindful life by Agnes 😀, channel and countryside!
“Do one little thing that starts your life going in the direction you want it to go in” inspirational, thank you.
“I wonder how many Stars this rock has seen”. Clair, that is absolute solace... within solitude, personified!
I'm not remotely religious but I think your videos have a spiritual feel to them. Thank you for letting us share your journeys. ❤
Aw that's nice thank you 💚 I'm not religious either but I feel there is an energy and a way of things that I can connect with out there.. mother nature I suppose
You just cannot help but love the spirit, the tenacity and balls that Claire displays every single time she graces out screens with her adventures. And of course, we love you too Claire. What an amazing woman you really are.
Bless you thanks 💚 hope you're having a nice week :)
@@WildBeare Recovering from surgery, pain free after ten years Claire, I am having one hell of a week, thank you 😁
Amen to that 🔥🌲🌳🔥🌳🌲🔥
Claire, I have so much respect for you. I am 67 years old and even though I do go camping and bicycling, you were taking me on ventures that I could never go on. And for that I humbly thank you
Me and my four year old daughter love watching your videos together. She loves to go camping
Ahh that's amazing 🥰 have the best times together, some of my most special memories are camping with my son (who is as tall as me now, they grow up too fast 🥲) Please say hello to your daughter from me 👋💚
Love what you do brilliant
I didn't realise you had a son. Great video x
Lovely video Claire ❤
Well dang. My favorite crazy camping Brit making me cry. "Choose to be a force of nature". I think I needed to hear that...
I do look forward to these vids, being in a wheelchair I don’t get up many mountains so to see them thru u is great. The hand puppets in the light made me chuckle as do the obligatory “hellos, thank you etc” to any wildlife, sights and just about everything you come across and see! X
So glad to take you with me :) thank you, hope you're having a lovely week 💚
Your great to watch 😊 inspiring thanks 🙏
Darn dude you have my worst fear ever. I do not know where you live but where I live we have a mountain we made accessible to wheelchair people and basically anyone. It has a real name but we call it “X-Man” mountain because that’s where the x-man movie was made. You can not do it alone but if you ask we will find a “mule” for you. We don’t mind being called mules think of us if necessary as Sherpas for the people we like.
And nope not a lover of people not skilled to go into the bush or mountains. But truth? She is learning the most important thing ever. Tell a story. You listened and you liked it
This video sums up all the reasons I love your channel. Your adventures are challenging but achievable. You’re honest about your anxieties and challenging them. And it’s just generally fun to watch and aspire to your own version of. Even if you’re a slightly older GenXer like me. Brilliant ❤.
Thank you 🤗
Nature has a way of healing your anxieties and what life, gives you, i am inspired to go outdoors.
Hands up who thinks Claire would be great on Country File ?
She’s great with the camera ,editing and production but best of all she great in front of the camera , so natural and obviously is just made for out door adventures showing off this great country we live in
Haha, thanks so much, although I really don't have enough of a filter for things like that haha
I believe you are an "old soul" you've been here before. You impart a wisdom few have after an entire lifetime, and you are so young. What an enchanting experience.
Thank you so much 💚
I grew up with in a home in the country and my parents introduced us to camping and travel,I am the only one of 3 children that still love to camp. My beautiful wife of 32 years also shared travel and camping with our 3 children 2 of which still enjoy the outdoors, I lost my love of my life January 31st suddenly and just the day before she was planning our next trip. You never know what the good Lord has planned for you but our 68yrs on this earth went by so quickly and we were blessed in so many ways to have the life we’ve had. I can’t pick out my favorite travels because there were so many but the best were shared with my beautiful wife and loved ones, my days of traveling are going to be few ahead but I thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and memories and God’s beautiful world with me. God bless you from the woods in SC USA.
My condolences, my friend. May you continue camping for her to smile down on you.
Clare your videos are full of inspiration, but I always get emotional listening to your words during the final part of your videos, your words are deep and meaningful, almost poetic, thankyou for sharing your love with us, a truly beautiful person you are.
Thank you so much for sharing it with me 💚 I'm very grateful
You are not alone, you're carrying 276k followers in your backpack, thanks for the adventure! Greetings from Argentina🇦🇷😁
I really love the way you can romantacise freezing your bits off sat on a Welsh Mountain. Seriously i feel i am missing out. Well i know i have been, for one reason or another i haven't been camping for a year and i'm feeling the call of the outdoors more than ever after watching your video. You'd make a great official spokesperson for getting out in the Country and enjoying what we have on our Doorsteps. Thank you for sharing with us.
Claire, You are such an amazing beautiful, inspiring human.💫😅Your poetry like speech at the end brought me to tears. It was so beautiful and soul warming. Thank you. ⛰️🌌✨
Heyy aw thank you, I don't know about that, just doing what I love 💚so glad you liked it, thank you for sharing it with me :)
I have the upmost respect to you for having these amazing adventures on your own and taking us all with you. When a lot of people are wasting their weekends sniffing gear and getting drunk your out there living your best life.
Thanks so much 🤗 each to their own I suppose, I used to spend a fair amount of weekends drinking when I was young. I can't think of anything worse now haha, funny how things change. Thanks for sharing this with me, hope you're having a lovely week 💚
@@WildBeare Yes, it sure is funny how what used to make us happy no longer does. I’d much prefer to be out exploring with my free time these days than suffering with a Two day hangover 😂.. We all think you’re an amazing person and thank you for taking along with you on your journey. Huge love and respect and stay safe out there 💙
When I was much younger and camping in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest in winter time, I would see Orion and feel a part of the wider universe. Thank you so very much for this beautiful reminder!!
Aw so nice, that's how he makes me feel too. I love when he pops up in our winter skies! I can even see him in my home town with all the light pollution, so sparkly he is
Absolutely exquisite video Claire! This certainly looked like an epic adventure without question. The sheer beauty that you were a part of here was just jaw-dropping! Loved your message at the end... so incredibly powerful and inspiring!
As always... Stay wild my friend 🐻 -John
Heyy John! Ahh thanks, how lucky am I to have had those beautiful conditions and views 😍 doesn't happen often haha. Thank you for sharing this with me. Hope you're having a lovely week friend :) 💚
What a gift!
You ARE made of STARDUST!
And you just filled our hearts with it!
I have to be honest, this video is a work of art. Truly amazing. You perfectly captured the beauty of the place and the spirit of being there.
Thankyou so much for sharing. 👍👍👍
Ahh wow thanks so much! Means a lot :D I was blessed with this one with the beautiful conditions and scenery 💚
Honestly, the cinematography and production on this channel is through the roof, amazing videos, and all set in the most beautiful part of my home country. Absolutely made my night watching this, fantastic 😊
Yes the cinematography is outstanding👏
Aw yay, thanks so much, I love to make them :D your country is so beautiful 💚
Climbing mountains is tough for sure, but the satisfaction of doing it can't be beat. Plus the views are to die for.
Dealing with Cancer right now and missing my outdoors, recently found your channel.... Snug in the warm seeing your adventures makes me smile. Keep safe.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with that 💚 keep fighting friend
Best quote for me "I wonder how many stars this rock has scene" Just loved that
Shadow puppets, absolutely classic. You do love what you do. And we love watching you do it.
You are such a tough kid, and never fail to impress. As an American in Florida, I am not sure where you are on this trip, but I find the views to be absolutely gorgeous and can only imagine what it much be like in the flesh . . . and you had it all to yourself. Thank you so much for your trekking, I hope you know how much joy you give to your followers, and your genuine authentic self makes each episode so pleasurable. I didn't know that there were young people like you in this crippled world. Thank you so much.
The location is the Rhinogs in Eryri/Snowdonia.
Hi! Ahh thanks, it's so beautiful there isn't it. Most people head to the big peaks so I rarely see anyone in the less popular places, which makes me love them more
Oooh thank you for the compliment of youth :D I'm not overly young though, I'll be 40 next year, although I agree with you about the state of the world
Thank you for sharing this lil adventure with me, hope you're having a lovely week 💚
"We are stardust
We are golden
we are billion year old carbon...."
But all we really are is dust in the wind.
Thank you Clare for taking us along on this wonderful journey of yours.
Some of the best tent moments-when you unzip the door in the morning, and the Sun says: hello! 🌞
BTW there is more company than Orion. You carry us all through your lovely nature. Thank you for that!
Yehh it's the best 😍 and I found it a real treat as my free weekends for hiking are usually rainy with some sort of destructive wind haha
As a newlywed, I used to travel between Virginia and New York every other eekend as my wife had a job in New York, and the US Coast Guard transferred me to Southeastern Virginia. Orion was my constant companion. You've brought back many really wonderful memories from thirty years ago. ❤
Hey sister
, can't appreciate this enough. Teacher on the front line needing your chill. in peace and with gratitude.
I wish I’d have known when I was younger, that there’d come a time in my life when I’d sit in bed watching you, admiring you, wishing I could be free to experience nature like you, to see the sunrises & sets from mountain tops. I love your videos, thank you for taking me/us on your travels😊
"I wonder how many stars this rock has seen?" A wonderful adventure to cleanse the spirit.
Thank you so much. You brought back so many memories for me. When I was a lot younger, (I'm 75 now) I used to be out with my rucksack, rambling the hills every chance I got. I still love the solitude of being high up, looking down on the world. I often stand and stretch my arms out, breathing the clean air, I get the strongest feeling that I could fly. It's amazing to be alive on days like that. I can't cover the miles that I used to but I'm just glad I can get out on my beloved Yorkshire moors. I was born with the gritstone in my blood. Watching your videos is like being out there with you, sharing the wild beauty.
Helloo, how amazing that you're still out on the moors at 75 😍 So inspirational and I really hope I can be doing the same in a few decades. Aw yeh it's the best isn't it, it sets my soul alight and makes me feel so very alive 💚 thank you for sharing this with me, happy trails
Your film making is advancing at a tremendous rate, really great quality and your narration is exceptional, chatty, informative, funny and engaging. Great stuff.
Thank you Claire, for another sojourn in nature, and for your comforting philosophy. Cheers.
No access to Te-le-gram
You managed to capture the serenity I felt 40+ years ago backpacking in the Rockies and the Sierras. We didn't have the video tools of today and photos were precious on film only. I sat here, watched and said, "Yes, that! I experienced that before!" Thank you. And keep on and keep your boots dry.
Ahh amazing! I can only imagine, I've sat here all starry-eyed looking at photos of the Sierras many times. I hope I'll get to visit them one day, glad you got to experience it. Thanks for sharing this with me :)
How about doing the PCT once your son has grown up? 🌲🏔️
@@sharrison3974 Or -- Claire could bring him along, once he's old enough, and if he's up for it. Why not?
Every episode is like a fully fledged, award winning movie. So well put together, must take ages. Always leave me desperate to get back into the mountains too. Thanks for your hard work @wildbeare
Ahh thanks! Yep, about 3 weeks of editing for a half hour video, tis a bit crazy really haha! I love the process but my brain tends to feel a bit fried by the end and ready for something different
Thank you for sharing it with me 💚 hope you're having a great week
Being abit nervous is good. It keeps you alive and in the mountains you can't get complacent. Great vid
Thank you SO MUCH for using Eryri instead of Snowdonia. So many others don’t make the effort to respect the language and true place names. Your love of Eryri really comes through on your videos. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
This was ambitious and amazing! You are a great storyteller and a wonderful poet. You have such joy for the opportunity to be alive in the wild. You are really something.
OM flippin G the memorise 30yrs camping with my dad Brecon an all places youve brought it all back lol shedding tears yer THANK YOU an keep on camping XXX
Ahh so nice! 💚Thank you for sharing this with me :D
Beautiful ending, “Our time here is so brief”
Claire, I love you. I love your tenacity. I love your drive and I absolutely love your videos. You are one in 1 million. Keep up the good work.
Really loved this one Claire. In my humble opinion this is by far the very best video you've done. Loved the views, the chat and hearing your insights and wisdom. Excellent, looking forward to the next one now. 🙂
“Choose to be a force of nature” life quote. Beautifully filmed, fabulous music as well. I cant helping thinking of those ghosts that build the stone walls
Thank you :D yehh I often wonder about those, they're everywhere aren't they!
I expect it was the ancestors of the current hill farmers, who mark their boundaries with the walls, and also block off access to cliffs, bogs, and steep-banked Llyn, to the sheep roaming the hills in summer.
@@Demun1649yes sounds right. I loved the walls in Shetland, its historical significance and finding things like old water run grinding stones, viking round houses etc. just walking across the moores and bogs, off the beaten tracks
@@simonhjc Did you know that it was the Scandinavians who invented the chimney? So, maybe the Vikings did that as well. And we are only talking Europe.
@@Demun1649hi! No i didnt know that. Very interesting. We are from Viking stock. Cotter is the anglicised version of Macottier which is Norse for Army of fear and dread. I think we can trace ourselves back to MacOttier the Black. Who was a pretty wild viking who lived on the east coast of Ireland and led raids into England. Constantly getting his arse whipped because the english had long bows and he only had axes etc ( and a bad attitude) lol!
I love history, when I travel/hike here in Aus i often wonder about those who came before. I recall being on a 1.2 million acre cattle station and we drove to the mail box. Whilst waiting on the road i said to Wendy (owners wife), “Id love to see evidence of Aboriginal history here” she said “youre standing on it”… she then picked up a handful of dirt from the road, blew the dust etc away, and she had a handful of spear flints….. quite humbling.
Id like to know who built that hut Claire camped in. Was it for a shepherd or was it a more permanent dwelling etc
(Sorry for the waffle)
One of the things I love about coming from Wales is that when you think you've had a tough time climbing right to the top of some exposed mountain, in the foulest of weather, with precarious slopes on either side, someone has already built a 5' tall stone wall there!
I've spent 14 months in a tent travelling all over the country, I've loved every day of it, every night i sleep in a different location, met lots of people and made some great memories so far
I think this is one of the most stunning trips I've seen you do. The stars, the views and the standard of photography all on point. Wonderful stuff
Massive thanks for your whimsical with puppet shadows, delightful humor. Your videos absolutely best on youtube for me. You've taught guy in mid 60's go back and hike pitch is where I need to be. Thank you.
Love it and much respect to the people who built those stone walls.
It’s all worth the struggle to wake up to views like that. Very few people get the chance to enjoy such peace and being one with nature ❤
I have watched many of your travels and it is about time I made a comment. Your courage, resilience and adaptability to conquer the trickiest of climbs and weather is outstanding. You take everything in each stride to show us the beauty of the countryside you are seeing and your videography is exceptional. I never knew that Wales had so much to offer off the beaten track. Camping many years ago with the Boy Scouts took me to the Scottish Highlands and Ireland with your namesake, Timothy Beare who was a scout leader in Norfolk. Camping then in the 1960s was so basic compared with todays advantages. Whoever built that dry stone wall for miles on end is remarkable.
Heyy, thanks for following along on my lil adventures :) ahh the Highlands must have been amazing, I can't wait to visit one day!
Mm the drystone walls are quite fascinating aren't they.. so much work has gone into them and most of the time I can't understand why they're even there haha. Marking territories from way back when, I guess?
Hope you're having a great week :D Claire
I sooooo needed you in my life this evening x Ty Claire , what an adventure . What an absolutely amazing inspirational young lady .
Helloo ahh thanks so much 💚 hope the rest of your week is lovely :)
The end almost broughta tears to my eyes with the music and words
You’re an absolute inspiration Claire. And thank you for bringing us along on these adventures. What beautiful shots and execution. 10 out of 10 👍
Thanks so much 🙂 and thank you for sharing them with me 💚
Your videos are absolutely amazing.
Your voice combined with the way you talk is incredibly soothing. And the scenes of unbelievable aesthetics you manage to capture are breathtaking.
I just want you to know that your videos are a part of the very few things that manage to relax me during a tough time atm.
Thank you!
Heyy thanks so much, means a lot, I know how I value content that does that for me so I'm real glad mine can help you in that way. Sorry things are tough at the moment and really hope things get better for you soon 💚
I just discovered you, I love those who seek adventure in nature and those who love life. I have already started watching all your videos, they are very nice. Greetings from Turkey
I have a lot of respect both for your work and the reflective thoughtful human being that you are.When someone asks " Where are you from ? " you can answer " The eastern edge of the Milky Way ! "
It's hard to beat a sky full of stars. Outstanding
This was a wilderness vlogging masterclass, Claire.🌹This moved me so deeply, I began to weep after you said "but for a short time, I can feel I'm made of stardust." 😢 This was a spiritual experience for me, and I can't thank you enough. You are precious to this planet and us Beare. You are a beautiful soul. ❤️🌲⛺️🌲❤️ Have a great week. ✌️
Aw thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 💚 it's quite a gift to be out there for a few days in such lovely conditions. Hope you're having a lovely week too :)
"Do one little thing that sets your life off in the direction you want it to go in"
I'm holding onto those words, thank you 😊
Everything went right, weather, scenery, commentary, on the nail, fabulous. I still revel in the outdoors. Winter trout fishing trips up country to the big lake NI NZ, its rivers late at night, the clear sky, silence that rings in ears, magic. Proceedings end late with iced up rod rings plus the draw of warm surroundings. 🙂
A modern day poet you are. Thank you for being you! 🙏
I love all your videos, but this was extraordinary. Thank you!
Thank you for existing so I could find your channel and be reminded of what my hesrt desires. The Wild ❤
Beautiful scenery, spare a thought for those that created that wall, all that labour.
Then look up at the night sky, with all those stars and the beauty that surrounds you and thank the one that created that too and gifted you a place within it.
Love nature … it’s so incredible. Most people aspire to a flash car and a big house with all the toys and don’t even realise this beauty is out there. I’ve always lived outdoors as much as possible. It just doesn’t get any better and you have captured the essence of it in your lovely video. I’m currently listening to the rain on the roof of my camper van in the middle of nowhere !!
Thanks for taking the time to share your passion 🙂
Ahh how nice, bet that is sounding gorgeous 😍 yep I totally agree, it's good stuff out there isn't it :) thank you so much for sharing this with me, hope the rest of your week is lovely
Simply superb story telling, cinematography....just excellent.
Thank you for the work that is involved in doing the adventure, toting the gear, editing and creating it for us to be there and experience it.
Loved the shadow puppets..made me chuckle.
The night sky photography.. stunning.
Thank you thank you Claire
PS so pleased the joints and ankles are behaving and cooperating
Helloo, thank you so much, it was a really beautiful one to film, I don't often get nice conditions like this for a whole weekend 😍 glad you liked my bird and my dog thing haha! Aw yeh doing good thanks, got some issues with metatarsalgia at the mo, gonna try to get it sorted before the summer and the longer miles. Good otherwise though, not had any issues with the bad ankle since I've been wearing high ankle boots laced up snug, long may it last. Hope you're having a lovely week :D
Stunning night sky! No one does this as well as you. Your videos are masterpieces of art!,
Just wanted to thank you for taking us with you. I can’t hike myself anymore due to a chronic illness (last hike was 2010). Your videos have such a nice atmosphere and respect for the good things in life and make me appreciate what I have more not less. 🙏
"Do one little thing that sets your life in the direction you want to go in". I love that. This video is amazing. Sometimes life gets a bit crap but your videos give us some much needed escapism. The scenery is just stunning and your love for Super Noodles is unrivalled 😂. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much 💚 yes you're right it can be. Big mishmash of stuff isn't it. Oooh I had a supernoodle sandwich the other day, it was freakin delicious, reminded me of my uni days haha. Hope you're having a lovely week
I always look forward to your next video. I wish I had half the bravery you do to go on such an adventure by myself. It must feel so enriching after you complete an adventure and home safe. In my younger days I had the confidence and ability to do things that challenge me. As I grew older and after losing my wife at a young age, I sometimes feel a part of me is missing without her. Your videos give me a little bit of happiness as her personality was similar to yours. Kind, adventurous, loving life and respectful and admiration for nature. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and know that you are bringing joy to people through your channel. Stay safe and stay lovely. 🙏
Maybe have a mini-adventure in your local woods or try a local walking trail. Just being with nature will help.
This is just fantastic.
Easily my favourite Bushcraft channel. It’s just different from all the rest
You're awesome! Dont ever change. Just keep on doin' what u love. "Look at those views baby!"
The only one in the Universe! Three Beautiful Days and Three Beautiful Nights, filled with the life-giving forces of Nature! To rise above the vanity of the world, under a stunning starry sky!
Can't believe how brave you are ,wish I had 25% your determination,I'm a survivor of a terrible childhood, but you have inspired me thanks so very much, you go girl 😊
Ahh thanks, I'm not really brave, just doing what I love. I am pretty determined though (some might say stubborn haha). I'm real sorry to hear that. Walking and sleeping in nature has helped me to heal from a great deal of things in my past, I would recommend it, if you feel you need it :)
@@WildBeare I do and I will thank you,had a camping disaster in Wales, but you always recover well from those ,love the stars ,no matter what, your content is so good,and well put together,my favourite on you tube for 2 years or more ,I'm off to Wales again in a couple of months, night camping/then hotel ,took my children to near afon well ,im rubbish with the names to 😬,15 years ago, taught them to swim and we watched a pod of dolphins in the wild for 2 hours, breathtaking
Took me 40 years of bimbling about in the mountains to work out that the best way to find the path is to climb up above the path so you can see the path you should have used to get to the point where you can see the path. So gratifying to see I'm not the only one who never *actually* manages to make this process work more efficiently.
I love the words:
- I'm wondering how many stars this rock saw...
- Three days alone, only with the company of ORION.
Thank you very much, for this content and your words made a small tear appear in my eyes.
I hope that nature, wind, rain, sun, and stars continue to bless you (you and your family) for a very long time.

A great video showing the very best of God’s Own Country. Well done Claire you are totally inspirational. Stay safe on your travels. 🩷🏴
Great video, thanks 👍
Your speech at the end of this video may have just put my back on the path I’ve been looking for for so many years. Absolutely beautiful. Struck something in me that has brought me back to life. Thank you
As always, another excellent video Claire. Your film work is top notch and I have enjoyed following your journey and weekend trips since the beginning. Although it was clearly very cold, the weather gave you some fab conditions which coupled with your enthusiasm for the outdoor life and wonderful presenting skills made for a very enjoyable film. Well done I look forward to the next one, Derek
Cool videos , thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Moment of the video!
🤪💗😆❣️🤣💕
Haha you like my dog friend? Well it was supposed to be a dog anyway 😅 I showed my friend and he thought it was a Gruffalo
@@WildBeare pointless, funny, well placed, unexpected, yet not drawn out. Great bit of editing, luv.
Congratulations Claire. You have documented, what was for you personally, one of your most enjoyable and successful (in terms of achieving all that you had planned) expeditions and given your viewers what is possibly the most beautiful video you have made. I was totally entranced for 30 minutes, so, a heart felt thank you.
I use to love going camping but I got ill some years ago which has stopped me from doing it. Watching your videos puts me right back at those moments. The way you portray your own journey through your travels makes me feel I’m there again. I have to have severe spinal surgery soon and your words at the end of this video really struck a cord and resinated with me and made me stop and think about everything. You are very inspirational and could listen to you all day. Thank you for being your true self on here and including me in your travels and journeys.
i truly love watching your videos, i can relate so much to your expeditions as i am a scout myself. the ending of this video was so sweet, so pure and so truthful. thank you for everything you do for us!!
Thank you for sharing your adventure in such a professional way. I used to walk regularly but alas I am now restricted in a wheelchair. It is by watching channels like yours that I can still experience the great outdoors through wonderful people like you.
Thank you for allowing me to tag along with you. What a moving trip. Your attitudes your determination are a great example of how to take on life. Your narratives are soul touching. what a strong beautiful woman you are. looking forward to your next trip.
