Solo Overnight in the Woods | Tarp Camping in the Rain | Plough Point Shelter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Join me for one night of woodland Wild Camping, where I set up a basic Plough Point shelter as my accommodation for the night. As a night of heavy rain sets in, I'm sleeping wild, under the stars and listening to the sound of the rain. Cooking up some vegetarian camp meals, having a cosy campfire (always be responsible and leave NO trace) and sleeping on my ground sheet and insulated mat.

What a breath of fresh air you are, you're super cute, very funny & a lot braver than I am, I have all the gear but just never seem to make it out the door but if people like you & Claire from WildBeare can do it then a 56 year old 6'1" fella should be able to do it too, keep doing what you are doing, 😁
Aw thank you, how lovely of you to say 🙂 really appreciate it. If you've got the will, I'm sure you'll find a way. Good luck hope you find some adventure soon! Thanks again ✌️
56? I'm going to be 59 in about 30 days my recent trip to the woods was to hammock camp in the rain I'm getting the itch to go again but I don't think I'll be needing my underquilt this time with the daytime temperature being in the upper 80s to lower 90s Fahrenheit.
you'll find a way to get out there 👍
@@alvinmorris5404 is
@@alvinmorris5404 what sort of underquilt are you using? I've just got a cheap synthetic one but it's not going to be enough for winter here
Got da look 😍😙😙😙
seems like an awesome campout..I love the banter and your sense of humor!
Yeah it was lush! And Thank you, lovely of you to say! 🙌❤️
Awesome vidio love the rain
Thank you Maria 🙏 such a peaceful feeling ❤️
Great set up , love camping in the rain , and the sound of the deer barking , i had a camp last year in the middle of the rut the stags were bellowing all night Atb K
Thank you ✌️ so lovely to not be in a tent and still have a great view. Ah lovely, I love the sound too. 🤭 Take care
I love camping when it's raining. A tip for you. Take an eye mask in the summer. It blocks out the light out when it gets light really early.
It really is one of the most peaceful things, especially if you get some breaks for setting up 🙏 ah thanks for the tip!
and ear buds...
Get a bivvy bag for these type of setups, Vicky. Lifesavers!
But great content. Keep up the good work.
Going to need it very soon 🪰🪰 nice to be free and unconfined though. Thanks very much 🙏
@@Wanderwithvickers Get your bushcraft here, Vicky, it's run by ex-British soldiers: www.thebugout.co.uk/
This is very easy to carry and will keep you warm and dry too: www.thebugout.co.uk/first-aid-survival/p/BCB%20Bad%20Weather%20Bag
very nice, but the bugs!!! lol looks a good configuration for a tarp, what size tarp is it?
Thank you!! They weren't too bad, at least the mozzies weren't out for a snack 🙏it's a 3x3 just a cheap one off amazon x
Cannot let you know how to sleep in the woods next time as your doing everything how it should be-just be mindful of the Ticks
Ah thank you very much, maybe it's time for a natural shelter! 😲 actually thinking about it I haven't ever had problems with ticks there. 🤔 Must I've just been lucky I guess!
Thank you. Tranquil location love the sound of rain and the birds in the morning. Great video keep em coming. XX
So beautiful, really excited for the next. Probably going to need a mozzie net, it seems there here now! Thank you very much xx
Just clicked on this my first video from you and really enjoyed it. You have a wonderful voice and love the narration. The nature shots were great and just plain fun. I'm going to click on your site now to see some more. Have a Merry Christmas! Your new friends from Florida USA 🌴
So I sometimes end up camping on the spur of the moment, which means that I always have to improvise a thing or two when I suddenly decide to camp. One time, I was riding my bike down a trail and got curious about the stream and some interesting little paths in and around it. I ended up pushing my fully-loaded bike down the middle of the stream with my ridiculously huge guitar backpack since I also happened to have that with me.
I found a really pretty spot to sit under some trees but my shoes, socks, and feet were sopping wet. Since I know I tend to randomly camp places, I always carry a few minimal things in my pockets and a few even more useful things in all of my backpacks, including my guitar backpack. So I decided to dig a Dakota fire pit, which I did.
The funny part of the story is that I decided I'd dry off my shoes and socks by the fire so I ended up sitting on a plastic trash bag that I had brought with me. I ended up actually cooking my socks a little bit and the fire ended up working so well and being so hot that I had to move away from it. I foraged for edible plants and ended up doing a little cooking over my fire in a beer can that I had just so happen to have emptied into my gullet while sitting by the fire. Part of why I ventured off the beaten path was that I felt like drinking some beer in the wild.
Dakota fire pits are really nice because they only produce a little smoke when you are first getting them started and then the burn hot and clean. When you're done, you can bury the whole thing after you've put it out and it makes good nutrients for the plants in the area. You literally can't tell there was ever a fire there at all, which is especially good since it's illegal both to camp where I did and especially to make a fire, but it turned out that you could only see the fire when you were a few feet away from it because most of the flames stayed down in the hole. In my opinion, the Dakota fire pit is the absolute best way to make a fire in the wild, just don't roast your socks like I did.
I have more random stories than you have time, but one of them was related to the outdoors. I was in the North York moors national park right at the top of a hill and a storm came in, I was the highest thing for miles (apart from the stoners in Middlesbrough) but the storm curved around us like a horseshoe. We didn't get exploded by a lightning strike.
I was quite happy about that.
Excellent... I hope the ‘woodland boogie’ takes off (I reckon you should tag other You Tubers with it 😉). New sub here 👍✊
Haha thanks! Yes me too, haha I'll have to start a trend 😝
Good proficient camp - well done you. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, and in the chance of a zombie apocalypse, please can I have you on my team. Ta :P
Thanks so much 🙌 you'll be in great hands.. I've got it all planned out 🤣
@@Wanderwithvickers Good. I can handle the head chopping...but as for camping, that's your call 🤣
I've got strategies me, if anyone can drive a boat then I'm going to need you 😆 last time I checked they can't swim 🙌💦
cool as!! love it
Loving the video great camp out in a beautiful wood with all the bird song so relaxing. Watching you out and about in nature is an inspiration for us all to get out more and enjoy life and experience something different just brilliant. More rewarding than just watching tv every night thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Thank you David, it was definitely a wonderful experience. Really appreciate that, and yes most definitely. So fulfilling. Take care 🙏❤️
Very resourceful and resilient - not my cup of tea but well done you 🙌♥️
Thank you 🥰 I could see you in the woods yet 😆
Another great vid with a lot of brilliant camerawork , 🌺
Thank you very much, glad you liked it 😊🎥
Bivy, not bicycle. Darn spell check..
Digging the sense of humour. I've been watching a few camping videos. It must mean it's time for me to get out there again
Have you tried hamock camping
Wow your so brave 1stly on your own 2ndly not even in a tent 3rdly open to all creepie crawlies well done x
Thank you Chris! To tell you the truth I would much rather be alone here than many other places, and honestly I truly felt lucky to not be getting bitten 🪰⛔😆
Its great that so many Women are Wild Camping now and enjoying the Outdoors, we might not have the best weather in the UK and the Land Laws need revised, but it is small enough, that if things turn bad, you are never that far from civilisation, I've camped in the US, different story!
They have always been, maybe just not documenting it as much. This is true, but it's all about your gear and what you make of it I say. The US is a whole different ball game, have you had a scary experience camping in the states?
Nicely done 👍. Bummer on the bugs but looks like a great area to camp!
Thank you! The bugs weren't too bad, not long before the real biters are back though! Yes it's a beautiful place 😍
Love your channel Vickers!! Always makes me smile and inspires me to want to get out there!! 💫🌟
Thank you Sam! That makes me smile, hope you get out on some adventures soon! ✌️😊
Just found your channel I like your style looking forward to seeing more of the adventures be safe take care Spam out!
Hey spam! Thank you, I look forward to going on them.. got a new vid coming soon. All the best 💞
Nice Video. ...Have you tried a Hammock?
it can be a lighter option with the hammock and tarp (including suspension/ridgeline) plus an underquilt and top quilt (total weight around 2kg)
can also be simpler to setup and pack away with a "snake skin" .
Thank you 🙏I bought one a while ago but just never actually done it 🤷♀️😆I'm going to do one soon 🙌
Inspirational girl. Great video
A number of years ago while in the hospital, I had a RN on the wing I was on, Helen “the English nurse.” I enjoyed her accent, such a breath of fresh air. I could listen to you talk for hours.
Oh wow really, that's so cool. I'm glad I can remind you of someone who helped you through a hard time. Thank you for your comment ❤️
Great job on the video good effort 👍👍👍
Improve your tent mak8ng
Enjoyed this 😃 a great camp out x well done 👍🏻
Thank you so much! Can't wait to get out for another ❤️
First impression, you seem to be a lovely person. I will sub. just to see more of you.
Aw thank you, how nice of you to say 😊
Great video. Well done braving the elements and creepy crawlies. Nicely presented also.
Ah thank you very much, greatly appreciated . 🙏❤️
soo wonderful! Liked and subscribed immediately
Thank you so much, take care 🙏❤️
What i noticed about you, your so honest and says it how it is, such a breath of fresh air, witty, funny and you genuine look you love it all, dont change. maybe 1 day we all might get to meet up and have a camp out, but then we wouldnt be alone then lol
Thank you, how lovely of you to say. I most definitely won't change. Looking forward to getting back out and making some more vids soon 🙂✌️ take care enjoy the sunshine 🌻
3:05 all mine 😍😙😙😙
Get a hooped bicycle. It would fit inside those spots you liked.
I have been thinking about one of those tbh 👌
Welcome to my crib🤣🤣 love it! This video is so informative and entertaining as always. Keep em coming Vickers you brave lady you.👍👏👏😎💗
Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed my crib, not sure it will make it too MTV 😆 thanks again 🙏
your so brave!
Nice video
Next time you go tarp camping put some leafs at the bottom of the tarp out side.
Ah yes nice one, thanks for the tip 😊✌️
Good job
Theres nothing like rain on a canvas
Or the dawn chorus when u wake
But nothing beats bugs around ya nut 🤣 lovely vid ..cheers again
Most definitely, some people say it keeps them awake but any sound of water just sends me right off to sleep! Haha I will definitely bring some bug stuff next time 🙏🙌
Nice
Very Brave young lady ,From Texas .
Thank you kindly 🥰
Fantastic camp especially in the rain
So nice and relaxing 😍
First time I watch this video..il hit subscribe 😉
Thank you very much, glad to have ya x
good video love the idea of hiking wild camping but i think i am too old for it, just did 5 day car camp down Cornwall, just editing it, not sure i will carry on with the channel though, love the travel but the filming and editing is a lot of hassle and you get so little money for it.
Thank you! Well if you can manage a 5 day car camp, you can't be far off. Maybe a woodland camp would do you well if it's remote enough you don't have to walk too far. 😊
@@Wanderwithvickers I did find a nice spot outside Tintagel on the Cornwall trip, but there was no internet!!!, can't be doing with that sort of offgrid I am a ghetto kid, its all well and good seeing nature but you got to draw the line somewhere
Awesome video Vicky
Thank you so much 🥰
@@Wanderwithvickers your very welcome
fair play to you, I just done my first Wild with 2 mates and I was anxious well done.
Thank you🙏 it's always nevewracking the first time even with pals. Hope you had a great one!
Synthetic stay away from the fire they melt they don't burn. Burn a piece of old ones the paracord or straw it will stick to you. pull the hair ( pretty ) back. Dry tissue or paper towel on stomach will let you know if you need to change. If stomach feels cold to touch. Keep up the videos. 👍🌹🌹👀👽👾🤖🐱🚀🖖
Kind of creepy at the night time my lady.
For me , not as creepy as being alone in a city at night 🌃
Does the heat from the fire affect the tarp at all?
It might do in the long run, if I were to be using this setup alot I would probably buy a quality tarp
the woodland boogie , lol
Get involved ☺️🕺🌲
Nice camping spot
Thank you 💎🏕️
You slept in your glasses .
Part of the reason I've had about 5 replacement frames 🤣 that and dogs
Nice sleeping by the fire
So nice 😍
...."Polo" 😹😹😹😹
Awesome video. I enjoyed it
Thank you ❤️🙏
Great video. Keep them coming. Hoping to try it myself next year. Your channel is inspirational. 😁
All that good stuff 💜
🙌❤️
Really Nice video and Beautiful nature. You did a great job making this video
Thank you very much appreciate it 😊
Well you brought the right gear, mink oil the boots. The pants you were wearing were synthatic
It is relaxing to listen to the rain. Nice set up thanks for the video 👍Cheers from 🇨🇦
I love rain
So relaxing 🙂
nice camping
Hey, thanks Jessie!
Cool video
Thank you! ✌️
Like you're videos
Thank you Steven 😊
@@Wanderwithvickers you can see a few things I do on my channel.
Cracking night out Vicks. The fire was perfectly timed - in came the rain. And the bug hack was pretty cool. None mating then? Enjoyed it all - good fun and banter amid the nature. Mark
Thanks mark, yes the timing was fab tbh, If only ide have left an hour earlier in the am, I would have been a perfect run 😝 haha no not this time 😂
@@Wanderwithvickers A pleasure. Aaah, if we knew everything we'd have no questions to ask. Have a cool weekend.
you can get usb bug zappers on amazon that are both a bug zapper and a light etc
there is also a butane bug zapper on amazon too as mosquitos dont like butane etc and a cheap battery powered bug zapper bat etc
Ah cool, thanks for the information. Definitely going to need it for when the mozzies come out 👌
Only just discovered your channel and what a great video. So good to see you leave no trace and help by taking out someone else's too. The great tit in the tree was an added bonus. Gotta love a plough point shelter. Subscribed!
Thank you so much, glad to have you here 🥰 always good to take something back with you 👌
Did you get much rain under the tarp and what brand where your Lemongrass tea bags I love Lemongrass. I had a golf the same colour as yours.
No not really, bit of condensation though? I did accidentally soak all my prepared fire wood by not having it under enough though 🤦♀️ I think they are the Tesco finest ones. ✌️
Nice setup. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
Thank you, I'm excited for the next ✌️take care too ❤️
Great video just discovered you well done just goes to show that, that shelter is one of the best to have in the woods while its raning. Will go through more of your videos. All the best...sam
Hey Sam, thanks for your comment. Yeah it really did hold up well and I would do it again for sure. All the best thank you hope you enjoy ✌️
Awesome! If you come to the states, I’d love to go on an adventure w/you!
Aww thank you! Would love to visit again ❤️
Great video. I hope it inspires a few more solo campers to do the same.
The weather adds to this as it proves it's not always perfect!
Thank you, I hope so. It was such a lovely experience 😊 Yes exactly it's not always perfect weather but it can still be a perfect camp 🙌 attitude is key
Brilliant! Was your car parked close by and was it in a safe place?
It was a fair distance away, but not ages, and yes ide say so 🤞
Excellent video, i am 72 and still tarp camp.
Thank you 🙌 good to hear it, beautiful way to camp 😊
Great spirit of adventure, it is a pleasure to follow you.
Thank you so much, glad to have you ♥️🤗
You seem to be a fun person. Nice camp set up. Take Care out there
Thank you, take care of yourself 🙏
Great video as always. Thank you
