Being a Hilleberg tent I was not surprised by the quality and robustness of this tent.. They are expensive but as the old saying goes "you get what you paid for".🌲🔥🌳🌲🔥🌳
As a former Forest Service wilderness ranger in the US, I am enthralled by your adventures. This particular tent means little, compared to your willingness to go out in such conditions------and have a GREAT time! I love how you continually stretch yourself, and are willing to try different things. It's clear that you are learning very quickly, and how to back yourself up in case of problems.
First, great video and honest comments regarding the tent. Second, I have a female friend who has been told by her "macho," co-workers that she needs a man to handle camping. I told her to check out your videos and you have empowered her to go out there and do it. She feels more independent, confident, and when she shows her friends at work her iPhone videos they are all so proud of her and the "boys" shut up! Respect from your many friends in Florida USA 🌴
I watch your ‘trying tents in bad weather’ series in bed and, I find it so relaxing, I’ve not managed to get past episode 2 without falling asleep! Keep up the good work
I am too infirm now to go camping and enjoy wild places but I can still enjoy Clare's trips. She does an amazing job of filming the wild and mixing in the interesting equipment, cooking and navigation content.
I bought a Soulo in December, 2wks after double knee replacement surgery, as a sort of light at the end of the tunnel. I finally got to use it 2mos ago here in the mountains of northern Colorado. I've only used it twice so far but I love it. I'm 6ft 4in tall and while it's a little tight it's still comfortable and I fit just fine. When conditions look like they'll be too much for my SlingFin, I'll be happy to have my Soulo.
I love hearing the hail on the tent you can’t beat being nice and snug feeling nice and tired with a hot meal down my neck and all warm and dry in my sleeping bag … it’s a great feeling xx
Hi Claire. It’s a bomb shelter of a tent. In wet n windy conditions just in lip the inner and push it back to make the vestibule bigger for cooking indoors. Another tip is for the hilleberg wind-chimes “ noisey zips 😂” put some electrical shrink wrap on them and use a hairdryer to cover the zips. I did that to my old Akto and it was great. Still to do it to my soulo tho. Condensation is better if you don’t keep stuff in the vestibule. It blocks the air flow
Lady, you are a bad weather WARRIOR! It never ceases to amaze me how you can keep in such good spirits whatever is going on around you. You're brilliant for that! So glad you've found a tent that works so well for you, even if it's heavier than you'd like. Thanks again for your wonderful content, lovely face and inviting attitude!
Aw thanks Calvin, I like a bit of bad weather :) Had a lot of it this winter though, so I am looking forward to spring now! Hope you're having a lovely weekend 🌿Claire 🐻
You are so amazing that a double rainbow had to come visit. Then, even the moon seemed to dip a bit lower and peep out of the clouds. What an inspiration you are
I also have a Soulo. Great tent. Had mine 5 years, and its still like new,after spending 101 nights in it. I made an extra heavy duty footprint fom Terram geotextile material,to protect the expesive Hilleberg footprint. I also use the longer Y pegs. Been all over Scotland,and the Westen Isles in it. And snug as a bug in my Norwegian -10 special forces Nanook bag.
When you clipped the tent to your pack, I had visions of the pack ‘parachuting’ down the mountain! I was amazed at how easily you were able to pitch it. At least, your video made it LOOK easy, but I think part of that is down to your knowledge and experience. Excellent video with some dramatic weather and beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing it.
Claire, I watch almost all of your videos and they always produce great content and information. As you know, I pass a lot of your videos on to my Boy Scouts. This video is just as powerful. Thanks for showing us real world adventures. Thanks for the good times.
Tis Irish Bob saying hello Claire. Another adventure tallied in the books Lass. Good review on the tent and kit for this little outting. Very sharp minded in tying down your tent in the wind while setting up your site. The winds were real HOWLERS. Kind of like the wolves of Algonquin Park. I just love your tenacious spirit and resolve. Ever evolving in technical skills and experience. You're the best of the YT gals that do solo camping. Irish Bob is always a fan of you, and your channel. Stay🦾Stay🩺Stay True, and Stay Real. You are meant to inspire people: to fully enjoy the outdoors and nature experience. Be well pretty Lass. Until your next adventure. Enjoy your weekend Claire. Nice image of the rainbow as well. Irish Bob😇🤗😎🍀🇮🇪🇨🇵🦾🩺🥂🦌🐻🦉🦅🐿️🦝
Hi there, an awesome video and awesome camp and awesome tent. So cool you had such an awesome sleep. Loving the tent! I too love having a great sleep in bad weather! Good for you Sister! 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
I love all your videos you upload on here. Honest, real, adventurous and inspirational! You have definitely inspired me for when my children get to a certain age I definitely want to start exploring nature and testing myself in situations. I have 5 Children still very young so now isn't the right time but I can't wait to start, maybe even with them if they wanted to. Very inspiring, thank you for sharing this with us. Definitely taught me that life isn't about luxurious things, getting out there an seeing places like where you've been is what it's all about 😊
I miss camping alot and i watch quiet a few camping videos on UA-cam but yours absolutely capture the whole feeling of camping unlike others do. Thank you again for your videos and bringing back the sounds and smells of camping 🙏🙏
Hi Clare, i have followed you for ages but i think this is my first conversation comment. Currently i am lying in bed (5am) at home in The lake district, bored but going shopping later in Keswick. I was up Castle Rigg stone circle at winter solstice meeting up with like minded people but not camping. I am beginning to feel i absolutely must camp soon this 2024 or go stir crazy!! Until then i will scroll through your videos to cheer me up!!! Thanks for being just your lovely cheerful, inspiring self. 🎉 michael. ❤ @@WildBeare
what amazes me most about you is your force of will to go camping in these rough conditions. its a serious challenge and you have my utmost respect for not just camping in this weather but filming it as well. keep up the brilliant work.
A tip for your foot powder. If you get ziploc or dry bag big enough to fit your foot in and put your foot powder in the bottom of it before you leave home. When out and about simply put your foot in the bag, less mess and less powder wasted. Great channel! Thank you. Oh nearly forgot, nice tent....
powder feet, rainy weather, in a tent, moon shining through the stormy clouds, snow caped mountains, couldn't think of anything better, what a awesome trip... much love from australia...
Great episode Claire. That’s an amazing tent. A good idea to secure it to your rucksack as you put it up. Interesting to see it gradually get more rigid as you worked to pitch it. Finally that moment when it’s all done and you get inside out of the weather eh? A really strong tent, a great review. Some amazing scenery as well, loved it👍❤️
Thanks Monty yehh I'm loving it so far, feel nice & safe in it :) I love the scenery there, amazing views of Snowdon there too but he was hiding in the clouds for this one. Have a lovely weekend 🙂🌿🐻
Great to see you out enjoying yet another amazing adventure Claire! That double rainbow was just absolutely stunning too! It was really nice to get the "grand tour" of your new tent as well. I hope that it serves you well on many a foul weather adventure to come 👍 I would most certainly have to say that it was definitely a great investment (no more worries about your primary shelter breaking down on you). Now I'm going to have to get one just for that 10 hours of sleep, haha 😉 I hope that you have a wonderful weekend my friend! :) Stay wild.... -John
Hello John! It was so pretty wasn't it 😍 unexpected lil treat that. I hope so too, it seems so solid and I feel really safe in it so far, hope it stays that way 😄 yes deffo worth it just for the 10 hours of sleep haha! Thanks for watching my lil video, hope you're having a really lovely weekend too :) Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare Hey Claire! ☺ Oh yes, it was certainly gorgeous! 😍 I'm so glad that you've found a tent that you really like and feel safe in... I've no doubts that it will stay that way for you :) You're very welcome by the way. Always love every one of your videos ❤ Will be looking forward to the next one.... 👍
What a great little tent! Looks very sturdy. A little "nest" in nature to enjoy the solitude, no matter the weather. Worth paying the money to get the quality. Another one of your videos that urges me to get out in it, Claire. You are very good at those... 🙂
Love all your videos.currently going through them all again looking to see if I've left a comment. I'm sure I have missed some ,, anyway to do that trip alone is very courageous. Beautiful. Stay safe stay wild stay free . Love the wildbeare .
Wow, what wild weather! Reminds me of a school trip I went on as a kid on the Isle of Arran. We hiked all over the hills and it was SO windy and SO wet, it was relentless. I'd never done anything like that before but it was such great fun and I realised just how amazing ALL types of weather are. I've always wanted to go back to Arran in my own time - I'm in my 50's now and still haven't been! It's so beautiful there. They have wild stags roaming around the streets too, and over spooky ruins by a lake. It's amazing, you'd love it Claire!
I had a colleague who hailed from the Isle of Islay. We often worked outdoors in ports in Kent. One night shift it was blowing, and raining heavily. One of the team was complaining about the weather, to which his response was “och, that’s no raining man, it’s still vertical!” I’ve been to Arran, and Islay, and yes, he was right!
One of my favourite channels. I love camping but haven’t done it for a few years. I go to sleep most nights listening to a storm on UA-cam. Thanks for your experiences.
Absolutely love that GoPro shot at 04:07 out of the tent of that sun and golden sky.😊 Great to have such a tent in your armoury that you can use when conditions are bad⛺. I think I’d be tempted to carry it in my car for at least 2 ½ seasons of the year just in case. Appreciate the weight difference though. Already looking forward to next week’s one (you mentioned to me on Facebook) enjoy your birthday!!!!🎂
Sleeping in a snug dry tent while raining is the best. The country there is so lovely. We find a tent with outer shell reduces condensation considerably and is much warmer during cooler temperatures. Yes, they are heavier and bit more fiddly.
Well done, I love being outdoors and don't even get 10 hours in my bed, and that 🌈 moment would have made the trip for me.......but.....I don't get trying to sleep in a plastic bag in the pouring rain and howling wind. I'll keep watching and maybe I'll understand in time. Stay cool 😎
Thanks for the review and the video! I really need to get mine out now, haven't used it yet! I guess it will be my mountain tent mostly. Wonderful sight of the moon there as well.
I have been camping in the wilds of scotland for many years. And I remember each and everyone of them with great fondness. And still do🏴🏴🏴❤️✊
Another brilliant video, Claire. That tent seems awesome and I think I’m going to have to give it a serious look. I’m needing something for cold weather outings. Stay well! ✌🏽
A couple of good mods I did on mine: Electric tape to the zips to stop the jingling zips in the wind. Add some linelocs and short line to the tent peg out points. Makes it so much easier on the rough gorund, to get the pegs in and the tent tent. Also 10mm poles are great addition. The other great thing about the soulo is you can guy it out as you pitch, Poles in then guy the lower lines. Then as you work round and clipping and get to the next guylines, get them pegged out. Then finish up connecting the top clips and hood. Then tidy the guylines. In really windy conditions its a godsend as well as doing it in reverse when packing away. Love your content!
It’s been wonderful to follow your channel from those early days and you just grow and grow in experience, confidence and positivity. Although your enthusiasm and cheerfulness in the face of adversity has always been there. You amaze and inspire me ❤
Hello Miss Claire! Your performance in setting your tent up in bad weather conditions was a miracle. Also you was able to film a rainbow. Your the Greatest.
Hello! Haha aw thank you, this one was easy peasy to get up :) the rainbow was so pretty wasn't it, nice lil unexpected treat that 😍 hope you're having a nice eve 🌿🤗
@@WildBeare Hello Miss Claire. The Rainbow wasn't the only pretty thing to see. You Miss Claire are my Pretty unexpected treat every time I see your video's and you write back to me. I love the way you are always smiling. Valentines Day is coming this Tuesday I want to give you a warm bear hug to you. Sincerely Yours R.M.
I wanted that exact tent for a long time now cause my friends are using it. It's a fortress against elements. But I can't afford it. It only makes sense to buy one if you gonna use it a lot.
new to the channel, you're either a rain master or the bringer of rain! worked in the elements for 18 years, airport and high rise construction, always hated rain! great channel! so much fun to watch! all the best! stay safe out there!!
Fantastic overnighter! You make it look so easy pitching in really bad weather. I’m sure it’s not tho. As long as you upload, I’m watching! Looking forward to your next overnighter. 😎
Wildbeare your a fellow inspiration for me. I camped in all weathers now car camp and hike because I can. You have given me the itch for my next adventure. Stay blessed 🙏🏾 and safe. 🇬🇧 Love the tent, woul love to see a cheap and cheerful tent purchased to test in better weather, light rain.
Interesting to see how the Soulo performs in wet windy weather . I got one just for snow camping in Norway/Sweden because like you I wanted something I could have confidence in, maybe lighter options would work too but coming from UK no oportunity to test out gear in deep cold. I pull it in the smallest Fjellpulken 'weekender' which slides (almost) into one half of the porch. A free standing tent is for me pretty much essential in powder snow as I use snow shoes so no skiis to anchor the tent. The fly coming down low helps keep out spin drift but even so when it's windy I had to pile snow around the windward side to keep the fine powder from snowing inside . Not as much cooking space as the Akto/Enan though so I think in UK conditions I prefer the Akto.
Great video , looks like you had a good tent in bad weather . Always better when one is happy with the sleep system they use and a tent that matches the conditions known in any particular area one chosen to hike and camp.
Great vid, great tent. We have the two person version. Going from a MSR Hubbahubba, the Hille is very plush. The weight is up there, it's heavy and holds the water, but we did 7 days on the Overland track in Tasmania where it rained the whole time and we chose the tent over the hut because it is that good. So warm, so dry, so solid. The two person is tall enough to sit up and is so warm. Best winter tent 👍
Beare, I've been watching your videos for a few months, and I have to say you make me want to go on solo-expeditions a lot! your sky views are spectacular, the way you include the stars and call animals "friends" you're a delightful person and i'm glad camping brings you peace :)
Wow wet and windy, but in a good way 🤣🤣⛺️beautiful Glyderau, Tryfan, Carneddau countryside, cracking little tent! Is it noticeably heavier to carry? Thanks Claire 😊👍🏽♥️⛺️
Hello Claire, I'm from Brazil and I always follow all your videos. Each landscape is more beautiful than the last. Congratulations on your channel. A hug!!!!!
Next time I hear myself moaning about the wind and rain I will refer myself back to this video diary…………😂 Hardy does not begin to describe you, wind and rain yet such beauty all around you, thanks for yet another wonderful video 😎🏴
Another wonderful video, Claire. Thank you! I think what struck me the most in this one was when you popped out the tent to check the guy lines. The storm cloud shots along with that wonderful music was spellbinding! Those pipes and flutes sent a shiver up my spine! My Father's Mother came to the states from Scotland in the late 1800's (Graham was her maiden name) and that Scottish Spirit is strong within me. The red ferns were gorgeous against the green grasses--and the snow-capped mountains--WOW!!! What a great campsite! I'm glad you made it, safe and trouble free. Can't wait 'til the next adventure. 🤗 "Bye!" ❤
Hello Russell! Those storm clouds were so epic looking, very forboding and beautiful 😍 Ahh that's lovely about your Grandmother :)💚 It was such a beautiful view wasn't it, very blessed with it. Thank you for watching and hope you're having a lovely weekend 🌿Claire 🐻
Hello. Well, you have a good camping tent. In my case it is a Hilleberg Allak 3, for 3 people. Of course they are expensive camping tent but they are extremely good. I usually take it in medium and high mountains. I have not tried it with heavy rain but with heavy snowfall and strong winds and for the moment it continues as the first day. Condensation is a problem with all camping tents and this one is no exception. Anyway, congratulations on your purchase and enjoy it a lot. Greetings and great videos
I keep saying it Claire Bear but you're one exceptional person and this time camping in one exceptional tent. A lot of money but totally worth it. Keep smiling gal. Michael. ⛺️🥾😊👊👍
Thank you braving the weather so we how well the tent and gear works! I have done several trips with rain and temps dropping down to freezing, but never with high winds. Tonight we're getting bursts of wind up 50 mph as the cold front moves in.
I've watched many of your videos, and I'm not sure if you're totally sane or not to be camping alone in (and actually enjoying!!) conditions like this. But the night view of the moon in which it appeared you could actually look down on the clouds perhaps made it worthwhile. I haven't seen anything like that in the US.
Thanks for putting yourself out in the wilds of nature and providing valued information. You are a testament to the dedication of enjoying the wild and the love of nature even though nature exposes tooth and claw. Thanks for this. Be well. Happy Trails!
It's a lovely feeling to be warm and cozy in a tent you have confidence in--in wild weather that could cause you to die of hypothermia if you were out there unprotected. To have confidence in your gear and knowledge!
Being a Hilleberg tent I was not surprised by the quality and robustness of this tent.. They are expensive but as the old saying goes "you get what you paid for".🌲🔥🌳🌲🔥🌳

Wind, rain, snow, a rainbow and ten hours of beauty sleep in a waterproof tent qualifies as the consummate overnight camping adventure. 🙂

I have been camping in the wilds of scotland for many years. And I remember each and everyone of them with great fondness. And still do🏴🏴🏴❤️✊
WOW....
So Nice.
Thank you.❤️
Another brilliant video, Claire. That tent seems awesome and I think I’m going to have to give it a serious look. I’m needing something for cold weather outings. Stay well! ✌🏽
Thanks Tom! Yeh it seems good so far, extremely well made and solid 👌 you too, have a nice weekend 🙂🌿🐻
A couple of good mods I did on mine: Electric tape to the zips to stop the jingling zips in the wind. Add some linelocs and short line to the tent peg out points. Makes it so much easier on the rough gorund, to get the pegs in and the tent tent. Also 10mm poles are great addition. The other great thing about the soulo is you can guy it out as you pitch, Poles in then guy the lower lines. Then as you work round and clipping and get to the next guylines, get them pegged out. Then finish up connecting the top clips and hood. Then tidy the guylines. In really windy conditions its a godsend as well as doing it in reverse when packing away. Love your content!
It’s been wonderful to follow your channel from those early days and you just grow and grow in experience, confidence and positivity. Although your enthusiasm and cheerfulness in the face of adversity has always been there. You amaze and inspire me ❤
Aw thank you Paul! It's good stuff out there :) 🌿 hope you're having a good week
Hello Miss Claire! Your performance in setting your tent up in bad weather conditions was a miracle. Also you was able to film a rainbow. Your the Greatest.
Hello! Haha aw thank you, this one was easy peasy to get up :) the rainbow was so pretty wasn't it, nice lil unexpected treat that 😍 hope you're having a nice eve 🌿🤗
@@WildBeare Hello Miss Claire. The Rainbow wasn't the only pretty thing to see. You Miss Claire are my Pretty unexpected treat every time I see your video's and you write back to me. I love the way you are always smiling. Valentines Day is coming this Tuesday I want to give you a warm bear hug to you. Sincerely Yours R.M.
@@WildBeare Hello Miss Claire! Ah! Happy Valentines Day to you !
Its a Hilleberg, probably the best tent in the world.
After the tarp fiasco and surviving that whole situation I am surprised you went for it again so soon. Well done. Love the content.
I wanted that exact tent for a long time now cause my friends are using it. It's a fortress against elements. But I can't afford it. It only makes sense to buy one if you gonna use it a lot.
I came straight here from the tarp on the rocks and this was so satisfying to watch! 😅🌿🐻❤️🙆🏻♀️
wet and windy camp least you slept well and enjoyed it
new to the channel, you're either a rain master or the bringer of rain! worked in the elements for 18 years, airport and high rise construction, always hated rain! great channel! so much fun to watch! all the best! stay safe out there!!
You should test and try a vango force ten for bad weather, no condensation and bombproof
Fantastic overnighter! You make it look so easy pitching in really bad weather. I’m sure it’s not tho. As long as you upload, I’m watching! Looking forward to your next overnighter. 😎
Thank you, this one was easy to put up compared to some others I've tried 😄 have a great weekend 🙂🌿🐻
Another amazing video. Very jealous of the experiences and adventures you’re having. Thanks for sharing
wild windy wet camping & noodles doesn't get much better than that..another wicked vid claire
Wildbeare your a fellow inspiration for me. I camped in all weathers now car camp and hike because I can. You have given me the itch for my next adventure. Stay blessed 🙏🏾 and safe. 🇬🇧
Love the tent, woul love to see a cheap and cheerful tent purchased to test in better weather, light rain.
At like the four-minute mark, you got a shot of the 🌈🌈🌈ON Both Ends Really Kool !!!!!
Storm camping is the best...Thank u.
Interesting to see how the Soulo performs in wet windy weather . I got one just for snow camping in Norway/Sweden because like you I wanted something I could have confidence in, maybe lighter options would work too but coming from UK no oportunity to test out gear in deep cold. I pull it in the smallest Fjellpulken 'weekender' which slides (almost) into one half of the porch. A free standing tent is for me pretty much essential in powder snow as I use snow shoes so no skiis to anchor the tent.
The fly coming down low helps keep out spin drift but even so when it's windy I had to pile snow around the windward side to keep the fine powder from snowing inside .
Not as much cooking space as the Akto/Enan though so I think in UK conditions I prefer the Akto.
Hello 👋 Wildbeare, thank you for sharing this great review of the Hilleberg tent. The best of good things for you. Stay safe out there. 🤗 👋
Great video , looks like you had a good tent in bad weather . Always better when one is happy with the sleep system they use and a tent that matches the conditions known in any particular area one chosen to hike and camp.
I love the sound of rain on the tent!
Great vid, great tent. We have the two person version. Going from a MSR Hubbahubba, the Hille is very plush. The weight is up there, it's heavy and holds the water, but we did 7 days on the Overland track in Tasmania where it rained the whole time and we chose the tent over the hut because it is that good. So warm, so dry, so solid. The two person is tall enough to sit up and is so warm.
Best winter tent 👍
Beare, I've been watching your videos for a few months, and I have to say you make me want to go on solo-expeditions a lot! your sky views are spectacular, the way you include the stars and call animals "friends" you're a delightful person and i'm glad camping brings you peace :)
Thank you for the review of your tent 😀👍! I'm looking forward to getting such equipment really soon 😀👍
Hi there you are force of good and fun . We all need more of the outdoors
Very well done. You are getting out and enjoying the country. Fantastic.
This reminds me of a backpacking trip I was on many years ago when a big thunderstorm popped up in the middle of the night.
Great trip there. Love my Soulo too. You're spot on about the Soulo, great features.
You live in a beautiful part of the world, good on you for making the most of it.
Wow wet and windy, but in a good way 🤣🤣⛺️beautiful Glyderau, Tryfan, Carneddau countryside, cracking little tent! Is it noticeably heavier to carry? Thanks Claire 😊👍🏽♥️⛺️
Beautiful 🌈 and that tent is sturdy holds up to wind a lot better than previous 😉
Hello Claire, I'm from Brazil and I always follow all your videos. Each landscape is more beautiful than the last. Congratulations on your channel. A hug!!!!!
Hi, thank you so much! Best wishes from UK :D 🌿🐻
Buenisima la exoestructura de la tienda y hermosa vista
What a beautifully refreshing video..
Thank you for all that you are and all that you do.
Next time I hear myself moaning about the wind and rain I will refer myself back to this video diary…………😂 Hardy does not begin to describe you, wind and rain yet such beauty all around you, thanks for yet another wonderful video 😎🏴
Another wonderful video, Claire. Thank you! I think what struck me the most in this one was when you popped out the tent to check the guy lines. The storm cloud shots along with that wonderful music was spellbinding! Those pipes and flutes sent a shiver up my spine! My Father's Mother came to the states from Scotland in the late 1800's (Graham was her maiden name) and that Scottish Spirit is strong within me.
The red ferns were gorgeous against the green grasses--and the snow-capped mountains--WOW!!! What a great campsite! I'm glad you made it, safe and trouble free. Can't wait 'til the next adventure.
🤗 "Bye!" ❤
Hello Russell! Those storm clouds were so epic looking, very forboding and beautiful 😍 Ahh that's lovely about your Grandmother :)💚 It was such a beautiful view wasn't it, very blessed with it. Thank you for watching and hope you're having a lovely weekend 🌿Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare Thank you, m'dear! Yes, you ARE blessed!
Rainbow is awesome! I love it.
Hello. Well, you have a good camping tent. In my case it is a Hilleberg Allak 3, for 3 people. Of course they are expensive camping tent but they are extremely good. I usually take it in medium and high mountains. I have not tried it with heavy rain but with heavy snowfall and strong winds and for the moment it continues as the first day. Condensation is a problem with all camping tents and this one is no exception. Anyway, congratulations on your purchase and enjoy it a lot. Greetings and great videos
Brilliant Claire.Stay safe always.🏴
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Please as always be careful. 😊
It's as if the rainbow 🌈 was placed just for you Claire, sgoinneil!!!!
Oh. My. God! That weather. You are such a legend.
Holy Moly... what a trooper!! ty for sharing!
It's good to see you out again pretty lady. I like that tent!! Love from Texas
I keep saying it Claire Bear but you're one exceptional person and this time camping in one exceptional tent.
A lot of money but totally worth it.
Keep smiling gal.
Michael.
⛺️🥾😊👊👍
Thank you braving the weather so we how well the tent and gear works! I have done several trips with rain and temps dropping down to freezing, but never with high winds. Tonight we're getting bursts of wind up 50 mph as the cold front moves in.
Fantastic video you did well getting the tent up in those high winds
I've watched many of your videos, and I'm not sure if you're totally sane or not to be camping alone in (and actually enjoying!!) conditions like this. But the night view of the moon in which it appeared you could actually look down on the clouds perhaps made it worthwhile. I haven't seen anything like that in the US.
love camping in the wind & rain storms feels so relaxing , oops good video , thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for putting yourself out in the wilds of nature and providing valued information. You are a testament to the dedication of enjoying the wild and the love of nature even though nature exposes tooth and claw. Thanks for this. Be well. Happy Trails!
It's a lovely feeling to be warm and cozy in a tent you have confidence in--in wild weather that could cause you to die of hypothermia if you were out there unprotected. To have confidence in your gear and knowledge!
Thanks Claire seems like a great tent also for Australian conditions.
Really like seriously adore your vlogs. Thankyou for taking me along too.
