#WildCamping #Hiking #Adventure #BadWeather
Hey Guys! Sorry this took so long! It’s unexpectedly turned out to be my longest video so far and it took me weeks to create, hope you like it :) I think my brain has melted a lil bit haha. Much Love 💚
Well, you stick that brain in the freezer and then get back out there!
Snack time.
It's not a video, it's a fascinating movie. Your videography, editing qualities and content compiling makes Spielberg envías, C.
World class!
Regards from sunny Marbella 🇪🇸
Benjamin ✌️
Ps. Night 2 your red cheeks 😊 you look like Santas little helper, C 😂
And the those stars affffff, truly stunning. Reminds me when once I was in the Sahara dessert, laid on top of my Landrover Defenders roof thinking this can't be true, extraordinary. ✨ ✨ ✨
Hope your son and goodself are found well.
Merry Christmas to you both.🎄🙏
Here's to 2024 adventures 🥂
Stay safe!
"You're pretty amazing, haaa!"😉
Loving the captions 😂
I didn't know what to expect. November in Eyre , really...Rain lots of it.😅😅😅
Guys, let's appreciate for a moment the amount of efforts she has put in for making this video❤️
Thanks 🤗
Yea the skill and the artistry and the sentiments exprssed in the closing sequence.
This is like one of those trips where you bring a mate along who's kind of on the fence about camping and it results in them never going camping again 🤣
LMFAO 😂
Hi! Loved the vid, keep going please. Quick note (I'm a country boy), don't be afraid of cows unless they're with calves and you are with a dog, in which case they will try to kill you and the dog. The cows you passed through weren't cows, they were steers ( castrated bullocks) i.e. beef. They are the most docile creatures and delightful company. They will make a bee line for you if you go in a field because they're curious about you. That's why you thought they were chasing you; they will keep up with you until you stop at which point they will stop also. This is the point townies start panicking, you're surrounded and you can't outrun them. If you're gentle and blow through your nose into their noses ( bear with me, this sounds weird but it's the same with horses), you will discover that rather like horses they are friendly, curious and mischievous; they will start licking any exposed skin and tugging at your clothes. You discover quite how much saliva cattle produce (you'll need to wash) and how tough their tongues are.
I grew up on a ranch and we raised cows, steers and calves. I have never heard of cows killing anyone unless they are feral.and I'm only surmising that
@@lavadaroufs it's happened here a few times, I'm guessing you don't get many dog walkers on a ranch?
Unless it's a bull
And some horses are DEFINITELY not safe to approach or handle unless you know what you're doing
@@lavadaroufs il piccolo cagnolino stupido abbaia alla mucca con il vitello. Lei rincorre il cagnolino che scappa in braccio della padrona da una bella cornata al cagnolino e uccide la padrona.... Questa cosa ogni tanto succede😢
just to stop people worrying about this, we have a right of way through the dairy farm and our cows have never attacked a dog and walker. Please dont assume because you have a dog they are going to go crazy and try and kill you. They might show interest at which point just let the dog go, it will outrun the cows.
Nice vid! The alien slime is actually the vomit from a heron or a mink (for example) When they eat a frog or a toad who is carrying eggs (which are held in jelly inside) the jelly is solid. After their "passing" the jelly expands enormous in the belly of the predator. The predator then vomits to get rid of it. It is known as star shot.
Good one, numb nuts.
🌸 oh my word, I didn’t know that
Thank you for letting us know lol 😂
I will stay clear when I hike 😊
No one can accuse you of being a fair weather camper.Thank you for taking us in to the wild with you .very brave young lady ,hope the ankle holds up for the next adventure.
Thank you 🤗 Hopefully it'll be fine, I've just invested in some high-ankle boots to hopefully keep in in the right place haha
@@WildBeare stop worrying about your ankle it will be just fine. I did worse to mine and I still hike with canvas short boots/shoes. This is an area of argument but many people think that a busted ankle is better than a broken chin bone and wearing what I call mountain boots did feel me not only leg but my knee almost break. Where if I was wearing my normal canvas boots it would have been a nothing. That’s not to say mountain boots have no use! Just not in the situation you are in. Gators? That’s also a strange area. Some like them some don’t. I use leather ankle high ones to keep brush out of my boots that’s it. Most proper water crossings I do are about knee hight so gators are useless. Yes there is an argument allowed. But it was not you in a hypothermia situation and your bloody gators were frozen closed. I don’t know how my feet didn’t freeze entirely…bonus to proper mountain boots and double zipper sleeping bags
@@markwalker4485"Stop worrying about your ankle" is not good advice to someone with a hypermobility disorder 🧐
your videos always feel like a movie 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿
Thank you so much :D
Watched this video from start to end and it was wonderful, I love camping, I love your channel.
You are a camping legend! Gear is important... attitude is essential...!
To start off Ma’am you are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!!!! Second I love your videos. I’m disabled and can’t do anything like what you do. I love seeing the world through your eyes. Keep creating miracles because you are a bright shining light in this dark world. Thank you so much for letting me into your world. I pray you are blessed and your loved ones. Thank you so much.
My lovely. You are just an amazing one too. Love and hugs from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
I’m a project manager who spends 10 hours a day in an office. I stumbled across this channel and binged a bunch of videos. They have a remarkably calming effect. What an amazing life! I’m envious!
Helloo 👋 aw yay I'm so glad you find them calming :D don't worry I am only doing this on alternate weekends.. I'm at my desk and paying bills and doing housework the rest of the time haha. I'm eternally grateful for my lil adventures, they do me the world of good. Thank you so much for watching my lil videos, merry Christmas to you ❤️🎅
Epic trip clair it was definitely a wild one. Glad your is well on the mend. Maxx
Damn u not making enough from YT views yet? Curious, not criticizing...@@WildBeare
Time to cash in on your leaves, drive to a national park, hike to a nearby lake, find two trees, hang your hammock and tarp - and just chill overnight or two ü
Camping in a tent in bad weather is pretty much the only reason to leave home in the first place. Overcoming adversity and challenging yourself, you have an adventurer's spirit. Well done.
Thank you :D
I do so much admire you what a fantastic thing to do
@@TheNigel55agreed 💯. Hello 👋 from 🇵🇱 and my channel!
You really are such a role model. With all your anxieties and still proving you are stronger than you believe you are.
I'm new here and quite curious cause I don't know her background. Anxiety? Sure I found she rocks the shit out of ev er y thing! And now you're telling me she has anxiety
I can't quite work out whether you are a very adventurous and brave young lady or a complete and utter nutcase! Either way, I really enjoy watching your videos and find myself just a little bit jealous because, at 76, I just can't get to see as much of our beautiful countryside as I once did. I hope your ankle remains strong for you.
As a newly involved Wild One, you are such a delight to watch. Positivity and humour, and tonnes of entertainment.
Good work . Looks hard work x
Helloo, thank you so much and welcome to my lil channel :D 👋
Love these videos it’s a nice escape from my life 😂
@@carolinebradley846hello Caroline from Poland my channel 😊 and countryside!!
Hi Claire! Fantastic jaunt into the wild. If no-one's mentioned it, those jelly like blobs are probably frog egg sacks. They aren't always found in water, and those may have been laid when the water level was higher, or there was a puddle right where they were.
Thanks, I knew I would found the answer in the comment section! :))
Ooh interesting! Thank you :D it would make sense with the frog friend being there too
@@WildBeare Hi Claire, I just wanted to tell you what this jelly is, because Don unfortunately isn't completely right. This jelly is called Star jelly. These are the remains of female frogs that have been eaten by predators (like a stork). The predator can't digest the reproductive organs with eggs and regurgitates this. Also, because it's already november, frogs wouldn't be laying eggs right now. As far as I can tell, that's what you saw in the mountains. I've seen the stuff in the forests here too. It's not really nice, but I hope you'd want to know the truth. As a nature person, you probably know nature can sometimes be cruel.
Oh thanku...I had to knw so I looked in the comment section.
@@mirrie1976Not only that but the slim crept closer while she was getting her wet clothing off. She was only just saved by the tent.
My grandfather, who passed away (due to lungcancer) about a year before I was born, loved nature with all of his heart. He was facinated by it, wrote and illustrated books on trees and plant life. He always loved to go for walks, hike and experience nature in all of her glory. He even went on to become a political figure in regards to nature conservation, water irrigation and domestic fishing.
Now fast forward 28 years and I have started to hike and revel in the outdoors myself, went on a great hiking trip last year through Norway and can definitely feel that the nature loving genes are passed on to me.
Videos like these reignite my passion to get out there again, make my grandfather proud and come alive again. I'm currently recovering from shoulder surgery but your videos give me hope that I too can get back into the outdoors again soon.
Thanks Claire for your beautiful message to the world, your optimism and your deep love for nature.
You are a great source of inspiration and we are blessed to have a soul like you.
Much love from the Netherlands ❤️
- May God bless your heart and extend your days to be fruitful and a blessing to others 🙏
What a loving way to bless someone ❤! Bless your heart ♥️ too!!
Thank you for your spirit and positivity. It’s very inspiring to see how well you deal with less than ideal conditions.
Hi Claire, since finding your channel I've dragged myself up my first 5 Munros experiencing 45mph winds with rain and sleet, low cloud with sideways hail or -9 Celsius and a foot of snow with the best views. I was scared to put myself to such a test and seeing you doing what you do gave me the push I needed. You do scare me sometimes though the way you 'wing-it'. Stay safe, stay warm, stay dry and stay strong.
Facing the trepidation of the first step.
Loving the elation of reaching that summit.
and reliving those moments as you look back at the route that was taken.
Heyy, ahh this is amazing, it's quite something isn't it - you sound like quite the adventurer already 💚 I will, you too - Merry Christmas & happy trails :)
❤@@WildBeare
@@me19276greetings 👋 from 🇵🇱 and my channel 😊
Your film making and storytelling are utterly superb. Thank you for sharing your world with us. ♥
Thank you so much, appreciate you sharing it with me :D merry Christmas! ♥🎅
Gosh I so admire your courageous, adventurous spirit! I'm so inspired by your adventures and ability to go out into the wilderness alone and face fears to get to amazing places - you are my hero. I'm not as brave as you but love to enjoy the wild through you. thanks so much for doing what you do and sharing it with all of us!
Brilliant.. every bit of it, the storytelling, philosophy, editing, music choices, enjoying yourself in severe wind and rain, not giving up after injuries, reviving your soul on these adventures.Truly inspiring and beautiful ! First time here on your channel, won't be the last for sure. Thanks Claire !
That third night was certainly a bit ‘lumpy’! To not only endure that, but to be able to video it for us ‘lesser humans’ to enjoy, was really something to behold. There’s something quietly heroic about you, Claire. Thanks for sharing your experience. Stay safe.
we're all heroes in our own way tbf. we're all overcoming our own bad weather and hardships. nothing lesser human about it.
I think that might have been your best video yet. The journey, the message, the filming, editing and production. So pleased your ankle has improved to allow you to be you and thankful that you can share your story with us.
Thank you so much, means a lot 🤗 Merry Christmas! 🎅
Hey Claire. Your outlook on life and adversity, of whatever form, is an inspiration. Go well in your future adventures, may there be many to look forward to! On behalf of us all, we salute you. 🫡 And that includes the cow community! 😂
The world would be better with more Claire's.
Thank you for you !
A legend, nobody does it better. the best outing yet.
I love the shot at around 31:36; half submerged camera with the raindrops hitting the surface of the lake! Awesome!
Hey Claire, I just want to write to say how fortunate you are to be where you are, let me explain.
I live in Queensland Australia and it is not a place that is great for camping ( which I love ), in the winter we don't get any snow ( I would love it if it did ) and in the summer time the temps often reach 40°C plus which turns your camping gear into a sweaty plastic bag.
If that wasn't enough we have 3 of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world just cruising around, our lakes and rivers are so polluted from agriculture insecticides run off, that you have to carry all of your water with you, makes for a VERY heavy pack.
I am Soo envious of where you live but I do get to enjoy your videos and dream about what it would be like.
Heyy 👋 you're right we are so lucky here with all the water and the temperate climate. We do like to complain about the weather here in Britain but we're very fortunate I think. I love our seasons. And I can't imagine camping with bugs and critters that are so dangerous.. the only thing I worry about harming me is ticks really
Your country does look so beautiful though
Thank you for sharing this trip with me and Merry Christmas 🎅❤️
Yea, I wouldn’t fancy sleeping next to those King Browns and Taipans
Don't forget that New Zealand is just over the pond!😊
@GeeEee75 New Zealand is a paradise! I'm an expat who often pines for home, but a bit far to go for a weekend camp, lol.
@NicholasMcClintock1 For sure, but definitely doable for a week or two away. I'm a British expat living in Melbourne, but I have done a fair bit of camping in NZ, and you're right, it is paradise (with far fewer poisonous creepy crawlies and snakes etc.).😄
It's not about the miles Claire, it's about the adventure and you had one heck of an adventure. You always seem to pick those iffy weekends but if every weekend was sun and roses you wouldn't have got to feel alive like this. I'm intrigued to know what the jelly things were, maybe some mountain frogspawn? The night sky never ceases to amaze me, neither does your tenacity and grit. I'd like to reiterate what someone else said, Claire is certainly no fair weather camper/hiker. I'm glad your ankle has mended Claire and what a come back too. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, as for the length, I prefer the long format but that's just me. Stay safe and stay well and thank you for inspiring us.
Hi Chris! Ahh thanks, well I only get to go out and play on alternate weekends when my son is at his dads, so I just roll with whatever weather is handed to me.. usually pretty ropey haha. Glad you liked the longer format :D it wasn't intentional, they turn out whatever length they naturally turn out to be, probably I chatted more nonsense than usual in this one 😄 ohh yes maybe.. froggy was about so it would make sense. I thought it might be some kind of slime mold or alien juice but yours seems more likely. Thanks again and merry Christmas 🎅 ❤
I'm sure I'm not the only one drawn to the positive reinforcement vibes here, and your editing is on par with the best, drone photography, black & white montage at the end, that frog.. Amazing.
Thank you so much, my lil frog friend was so lovely wasn't he 🐸 I felt like we connected briefly on that wet windy night. Have a great week!
I love being out on the hills above Mallaig , views on a clear day are spectacular , you can see Skye and all the small isles . Only place I get some calm in a hectic life .
One of the best videos you've done. Excellent resourcefulness, courage and adaptability in difficult circumstances - you're an inspiration. Love the practical explanation of how to change from wet to dry clothes in a tent in the rain!
You're awesome Claire, keep being you. And inspiring others to get out and explore.
Thank you 🤗
You know it's serious when WildBeare uploads a 40 minute video. Some of your best work!
Well you’ve got me hooked. If videos like this don’t get you a TV Show I would be gobsmacked. The quality of not only the videos themselves, drone shots and pole mounted shots but the editing quality is as beautiful as you are, this can’t be easy. Look forward to the next adventure, be safe out there and thanks for another wonderful video.
What an amazing video, wow! Right up until a sentimental ending with such a lovely message. And what a sense of humour! A nice, calm piece of music while we watch you taking your tent down in weather that looks like 100 Mary Poppins are on their way in.
Nature has such an incredibly soothing effect and it's quite amazing that the colour green is a colour known to calm us mere mortals. It's like it was created just for us.
I remember being in a caravan up in the yorkshire dales and one night looking up at the sky and seeing just sooo many stars! And parts of the core were showing with hues of pink, purple, blue and orange. Just stunning and it's something I've not repeated, yet! The stunning views you had through the mist of stars poking through, just wonderful.
I've only watched three of your videos so far but I'll be hitting the subscribe button and lining a good many more up to watch. Thank you for all the very evident hard work you put into these.
Amazing to see your journey as a person, a videographer, a camper, a hiker. Thank you for taking us on that journey with you. I have loved every minute.
Ahh I'm so glad you enjoy my womblings 😃 thank you so much and merry Christmas ❤️🎅
I am so happy you provided intermediate updates on your ankle. It was a worry with all of the variety of terrain you covered, that you may have suffered a mishap and gotten into trouble, thanks for reassuring us all with the status. You do present such heartfelt productions.
It's doing fine now thank you :) I've just invested in some high-ankle boots to keep in it place in future, hopefully haha. Merry Christmas to you 🎅
Their is nothing like being snug in your completely waterproof tent listening to the rain pour down,so totally relaxing and in tune with nature .Your very game and love the wild outdoors like i do and to be far from the madding crowd.A fine exposition of this great tent.Go wild and free and may peace be with you allways.Best wishes from David.
Moving a pitch in the dark is always super upsetting, you have such high spirits!!! I'm envious of your tenacity
Always nice too see new post. Watched her for years. Battled mountains, battled the wind n rain, battled injury. Just a wild camping legend who shares the love of nature.
One of your most moving episodes Claire. Thank you for facing challenges with gratitude. You are a wise one, wild one!
Thank you, thanks for sharing it with me :)
Best feeling in the world when you’re wet through to the bone and when it’s cold as well, putting on a fresh set of dry clothes 👍🏻🇦🇺
I am currently sitting on my couch nursing a newly broken ankle and this video has done me the world of good. As a really active person its hard not to dread the quiet weeks ahead even though i know they will pass. I think i will definitly appreciate my hikes and long walks with the doggy a lot more from now on. You have such an amazing attitude ! ❤
Ahh bless you, that's rough. I know exactly what you mean about the dread feeling! Hope it heals up nice for you and hope the waiting around isn't too torturous 🤗 thank you and merry Christmas 🎅
Pretty amazing huh?
You surely are.
I cant get over you toting all the video and photography gear required to capture it so beautifully but ever so grateful that you do and allow us to get a glimse.
Thank you Claire
Claire having a grateful heart for the good times and the hard is what having gratitude is all about stay blessed stay true to yourself ✌️💙🙏
Gear is important, attitude is essential..! You worked hard to refine both... take care always, you are a inspiration to humanity , spirit and intelligent endurance ..!
Great 4 days adventure. I really admire your survival skills. Keep safe Claire. 🥰
I visited for the first time today. I can feel your comfortable and pleasant steps. The wind sound is really good, too. Yes, WILD!!
Seriously never expected to be in tears on a Saturday morning watching a camping video - but here I am. I so admore and appreciate how you remind us that we are living in the landscpe, and all we ned to do is visit, and look up. Thank you.
I've said it before - this is your best video yet. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure and for capturing your philosophy so brilliantly in those wonderful words at the end of this movie.
Respect,
Bruce in Saddleworth, South Australia.
Looks like heaven the rain and a tent takes my soul other places. Fair shout ❤
What an experience, thank you! The mountains of Wales and the Scottish Highlands are some of the most rugged and beautiful places I have ever seen. Awesome filming, editing and production, too.
Just beautiful. I grew up going to the mountains every summer. Backpacking, climbing, canoeing, camping. It was the immeasurable gift I got from my father who is now with me only in spirit. So wonderful that you are doing this. Share it with your son as soon as you possibly can, when he’s ready. It’s a part of you that you can gift to him so that he can carry it forward. Thank you for your eloquence. You have a lot of wisdom.
Hi Betsy 👋 ahh that sounds so lovely, your father sounds like he was an amazing guy 💕
Aw yes you're right, we go adventuring now and again, he has already climbed Snowdon twice and we've had long camping trips in the mountains every summer for the last few years. When he was only 6 we hiked up to Cwm Idwal together in the snow 💚 memories that I will never forget and treasure forever. (I don't film when I'm with him though) He's growing up fast and is nearly as tall as me now! His passion is football at the moment, so we can't go far or we miss his games haha
Thank you so much for sharing this with me, hope you're having a lovely week and merry Christmas ❤️ 🎅
Oh how wonderful!! So glad you are sharing all this with him! I’m such a fan of yours and just love your videos. Merry Christmas to you!!! ❤
I spent my Welsh childhood following the streams and brooks, past cows and boulders, through ferns and bogs into the mountains. And now from Los Angeles I have reached the age where I cry when I see Wales. Thank you Claire for your wonderful work, and sentiments that remind me to fit the pieces together from the lost jigsaw of life.
Wow.. Love the longer trips and videos. That frog got lucky😜.. Next time in wind, open the doors etc. and take the poles down first, then guidelines, last the main tent stakes. Thanks for sharing. ✌️🤍🕊️
You are my spirit animal..love your spirit enjoy every moment while your young and full off life....big hugs from Australia xx
Beautiful chaos, love it. Thanks for taking us with you 😊
Have to admit, I was missing you & wondering how you were doing. But, so great to see you again & the ankle holding up fine. Your wonderful videos are so life affirming ❤❤❤❤❤
I love it when you plan your route with pencil and paper map. Makes me think of my dad on our family walks in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Thanks Claire,for the video's and the memories they wake up
That was an epic adventure! When you said "My soul coming back to life" sums up the experience of surviving outdoors.
Your content always leaves me with a smile, and you're right, you can't have light without darkness. Give your gratitude for it all. Cheers, Claire. 🙂
You really knock my socks off with where you go and you’re always smiling even in bad weather. Hope you’re ankle heals quickly so you can continue with your adventures. Thanks for taking us along.🫶
One of the loveliest channels on the 'tube, so want to get away from the madding crowd this is real mental therapy, soul and spiritual nourishment. Thank you.
just clicked on this thinking 43 minutes probably wont watch all this to being gutted when it ended. what an amazing video, storytelling, and editing makes me want to get my backpack out and now head out on a little adventure :)
i feel like that frog, thankful for the mental shelter you provide in a spirtiual storm
i just need to thank you for all of the positivity that you put out into the world. i was introduced to your videos at one of the darkest times in my life and they have been such an inspiration to me as i am dragging myself through my own bog and bad weather.
your ending message on this one made me cry because i dont think a lot of people are told how well they're doing just for making it this far, and its very nice to hear.
thank you for doign what you do and for being such a force of light and love.
also thank you for the absolutely delightful captions, they made me smile.
Some people are only "fair-weather" tabbers, but you take it to extremes! Nice one, and long may it continue. Greetings from central Norway.
40:30 "Mad chaos to Beethoven" - Most Brilliant subtitle ever! ;) Thanks for such a cinematic wild adventure! Best wishes.
Fabulous video Claire. What an amazing experience. Typical changing weather conditions that goes with a Beare adventure. Stunning skies. Wonderfully filmed and edited. And perfect words to finish. Onwards and upwards. Keep Loving that Adventure
Hey Asa! Thank you so much 🤗 best wishes to you and yours ♥🎅
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for awhile now now. Your videos are great. Great scenery, always a challenge. A lot of UA-camrs could learn so much from you.
Thank you.
You're a brave one, Claire. A genuine inspiration in a world that can seem far too chaotic at times. Thank you for these fantastic adventures, reminding us all of what awaits if we venture just around the corner.
Love the wildness, remoteness and beauty of this whole video. Really feel like we have come with you on this trip!
Epic video and adventure Claire! It certainly looked like you got to experience a little bit of everything on this one for sure! That's what makes these types of trips so enjoyable and memorable, eh :)
If you don't post again before the holidays, I just want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year my friend! As always.... Stay wild 🐻 -John
Heyy John! Hope you're good friend! Ahh yes, deffo a bit of everything, never a dull moment in those hills huh 😄
Thank you so much, same to you and hope Santa brings you something lovely 🎅❤️ Merry Christmas!
@@WildBeare Thank you Claire! I hope that Santa brings you something wonderful as well my dear friend! 🎅❤
Now this is a good way to start the afternoon! I missed these videos. I'm glad you're back and hoping the ankle holds up. Edit: I'm glad about the ankle. You're right to be careful with it in the future because joints rarely, if ever, heal back to normal. 38 years later I still get the odd reminder that I abused mine. And you're so right about gratitude. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to call it a key to happiness. Thanks for the video.
Ahh thanks, so glad you like my lil videos :) yep I've injured this ankle 3 times now, all pretty much the same injury, so I need to try to stop it happening again as it's quite unstable now. But it's not giving me much bother, which I'm glad of. Sorry you have an abused ankle also! Poor things do take a battering don't they. Yess you're right, I would definitely call it a key to happiness! I consider myself quite a happy person, but I've had to learn how to be over the years, if that makes sense. For me it starts with gratitude, refusing to be a victim, self-responsibility and a little bit of fairly responsible risk taking for fun haha! Best wishes and merry Christmas to you ♥🎅
@@WildBeare "I've had to learn how to be over the years," is kind of an important statement. A lot of people think happiness is just supposed to happen for them. Then git pissed off when it doesn't. I'm glad you're happy and, selfishly, glad you share it. I feel pretty confident saying that mine are not the only days you make better.
You're such a brave one, your lil adventures a great inspiration. Guess this is one of your best videos ever. I can't even imagine not only to endure the bad weather at night of day 3 but even to create video content of this. You're amazing. Please stay healthy and thx for sharing all of this with us.
Thank you so much! You too, have a wonderful Christmas ❤️🎅
I turn 40 this year, and seeing your vids has inspired me to start wild camping.. thank you so much for this.
You never fail to impress, Claire. I know a lot of "tough guys" who wouldn't be out in some of those conditions.
Much do so while recording such fantastic vistas.
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas 🎄
Ahh thank you, filming it is second nature to me now :) a very merry Christmas to you and yours too 🎅♥
Yes, I get a but tired of seeing “tough guys” chopping wood for a huge fire and going through the ritual of tinder and flint to start a fire over and over again… geez we get it already! Just use a lighter 😂 They could take a leaf out of Steve Wallis’s book 😂😂😂
❤ in the middle of absolute chaos you have Fur Elise playing in the background. Wonderful touch!
Thank you Id forgotten those memories, feelings smells n spirit of playing in the REAL...stay real.
I'm a big lad, ex Navy, prop forward blah, blah, blah, but a field full of cows terrifies me! Horses, no worries. Sheep, lovely daft buggers. Lions, 50/50 I reckon, but cows... I was trembling watching your video! Good to see someone who can read a map as well.
Your videos are so uplifting and real. I love your whole attitude towards life. Makes me appreciate everything so much more.
Thank you so much ❤ Merry Christmas to you 🎅
As someone who’s encountered rampaging cows in the mountains too: Never underestimate an angry cow! 😬Great video!
Haha, right?! The one that led the heard when I got chased a few years ago, was a big white cow with big horns and red eyes.. it was crazy angry with me for some reason.. demon cow. Thank you :)
@@WildBeare I chuckled when I read "demon cow", so I wondered what AI would make of that. i.imgur.com/YTwKGpo.jpg Seems about right. ;-)
I love your adventures. You really do have a talent for capturing the beauty of it all and you do so in such a positive and magical way. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks for reminding me of the adventures that made me who I am. I grew up walking through wild Scotland in the eighties, when “hill walking” was mainly the preserve of burley bearded men. I love your spirit and your content, 100% agree that we are defined by the challenges we face, and our abilities to meet and overcome them, sure at the time it may be unpleasant and frightening but in the end it’s a well we draw from when we need resolve. I’m glad I found your channel., keep doing what you do it’s wonderful, stay wild
Hello 👋 Claire, greetings from Northern California, USA. Thank you for sharing another adventure filled camping 🏕 video. I really enjoy your videos. Be sure to take good care of yourself. Stay safe out there. 😊
Hi Ronald! Aw I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for sharing it with me :) I will, you too and very merry Christmas ♥🎅
Bovinophobia aside, Claire you are one of the bravest and well grounded person I know.....thanks for sharing your journey's and insight with us - you make such a positive difference in this Wonky world we live in!🐄
Thanks for wonderful video adventure and observation about good and bad in life.
I have camped whilst cycling and experienced this general fear, uncertainty, rain and wind, and also the joy of night skies, sunset and sunrise, and the physical well-being of surviving hard travel. Just to relax in the tent with a simple meal is its own joy.
Thank you for your videos, which recreate my own past experiences.
Wow, that wind would blow a dog off its chain. Tent held up well . Great job Claire 👍🇭🇲
Your pics of the night sky and all the stars are absolutely amazing! Trekking around in the dark is no fun and dangerous. So glad your ankle is doing better. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
Aw thank you! Ahh yeh the stars were amazing weren't they! I love being out there during a new moon, it's like someone chucked glitter into the sky, so pretty. Have a great week and merry Christmas :) 🎅♥
What a beautiful video. Thank you for taking the time and effort to bring us along. I’m always amazed at the camera work from just 1 person. Fantastic story telling! X
Thank you so much, love to create them 😁 Merry Christmas!
@@WildBeare merry Christmas to you too!
Wow, you are so lovely, and I am so much more spiritually,fulfilled and humbled,just by watching your positivity and thankfulness toward everything.
I try my best to be positive, and accentuate it,myself. You gave a great gift to all who watch this video, I just hope they realise.
Thanks, you truly are inspirational and a beautiful soul. Thank you Ray
I think foam was frog eggs. I agree you are very beautiful and very brave! 😊❤
I love your message at the end. The storms really do make the sunsets so much more beautiful. Thank you.
You deserve one million subscribers ❤

Hey Claire, Even with the crazy wind and rain it looks like a fun adventure through beautiful countryside.
Heyy, thanks it was, Ioved it :) have a great week!
amazing night time photographs as always, you are so talented
What an epic camp, I’m glad you made it home in one piece Claire. ❤❤
Lovely. I've been focused on living a life of gratitude, and it changes everything. There is a profound beauty in the deepest of sorrows, and living a life of gratitude is also living a life of hope, and so when you touch on those sad times, you can be grateful for the experience as well as knowing that better days are coming, and that is incredible.
