Autumn Wild Camp - Trying Out My Thermarest Neoair Xtherm! | The Chilterns

The woods were looking beautiful and autumnal as I made up camp and tried out my Thermarest Neoair Xtherm Max! Temps dropped to 6°C and I stayed toasty warm! Have a look at the video for full thoughts, autumn scenery and general wild-campiness.

The great thing about your videos is if it goes wrong you just say it. You can see you are learning from it not quite going to plan. Really enjoy your videos.

[@Oldtimecarpenter]

If anyone is having a crappy day... just watch this video! Thanks Claire for being a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day! 🌤😀

[@WildBeare]

Aww thank you Pete! Hope you're having a good week! Claire

[@Oldtimecarpenter]

If there was one word to simply say.... it would be “ adorable “. Thanks my friend! .... Pete.

[@greatlambrini8722]

Watching this two years later. How you have grown. You just get better and better. Confidence grows, technical ability and knowledge you hit out of the park.

[@hounamao7140]

learning about the wildlife of your region is definitly a must for a peaceful night )) talking as someone who freaked the shit out when I heard a stag bark for the first time. Now that I know more about them, wolves, birds and co I'm feeling much more secure. My biggest and only fear being humans now.

[@RadulovicDragan]

Yeah, unfortunately, I think u r right!

[@colinsavill3459]

Stags aren’t the loudest thing in the woods. I was woken up by a hedgehog trying to get under my inflatable pillow. Love your vids, full of joy. Get out in nature as much as you can. It’s the best therapy.😀

[@WildBeare]

Hahaha! How cute haha 🦔 thank you Colin :)

[@russelljackman1413]

A wonderful video! Thank you! Made me smile when you said, "Bye, camp!" I always say goodbye, and thank you to my camps, as well! :) Happy trails!

[@nedanother9382]

For the record the breathe in the pad causing mold is just a myth. Several youtubers have cut them open after many seasons of use and found zero indication of mold. I just cut down my Nemo Tensor (too many patches) down to a shorty - it was 6 years old and the insides looked like I unpacked it yesterday. By the way if you were inclined, the cutting down and resealing is really easy. Cheers

[@redpillnibbler4423]

That’s interesting.

[@stevepearce8099]

Well if several youtubers say so, who is to argue? Most are knobs btw.

[@vap3z131]

Loving these vids! It’s currently 5 am where I am in Somerset and I’m laid in my camper van binge watching your adventures.......Well done, great content x

[@chrisgonecamping]

Had to watch second time. I've not seen you in action being a mum. I believe your an amazing mum! Absolutely so funny! Spot of whiskey with your drink.. My mom would spike my tea when I was five and sick/ couldn't sleep. Called it a hot todie/ something like that best sleep ever! Mom how's come tea makes me sleep so well? She'd say don't know. And she'd spike our ice cream with cream-d-minth, not just sip, slept good those nights to. I miss my mom. She passed away decade ago. Good memories thank you Claire for wonderful video

[@greggilbert2798]

Smiling all the time I was watching!

[@unknownentity524]

I remember the first time I wild camped in Sherwood forest I was super relaxed just falling to sleep when some creature let out the most blood curdling scream haha, nearly jumped out of my skin

[@waynus2021]

somebody once told me "there ARE wild animals out there , they aren`t dangerous to you but very dangerous indeed to one another , they also object most vocally to being eaten alive!"............... great quote don`t you think?

[@lntkernow]

Probably a female fox call, they sound like a woman screaming, shit me right up on my first camp 🤣

[@jiltedjohn9294]

Maybe it was Little John or Friar Tuck

[@Jayswindows1264]

Ive just started getting into bushcradt and love it. I think GOD is telling us to get back to nature. This has become my favourite channel, you are a great human.being, woman and a true inspiration. After loosing my beloved sister to suicide 2 years ago, being in nature fills me with peace and serenity. Thank u claire xx Much love, Jay.

[@TheChunder3]

Enjoying the authenticity you bring to your work. I’m going to start from the beginning. Bravo 👏

[@tushugars]

Howdee Claire, we just checked some of your back videos... Your production quality is terrific, we think better than stunning - you show the English countryside at its best and worst. Gimbals and drones are grand; they add so much. Old duffers like my generation (with our walking stick and bad hips) - Yes, we still do what we can, but now through your tales, many of us can also live your adventures. That keeps us all young. Keep safe, summer soon for us in Australia...

[@redpillnibbler4423]

I love lying in a tent listening to the sounds of nature. Have a nice bowl of porridge before bedtime 😋

[@steverose4639]

Mooooorning, Claire Beare. So glad I came across your channel, loving the just add whisky and Staggy mac stag face remarks, keep it real and stay safe.

[@QuakerJones268]

I’ve had my XTherm for years now and used it more times than I can remember. Used it at -38 in Mongolia and it’s excellent. It’s tougher than you think, I’ve never laid it on a protective mat and never had any issues.

[@joebeatty4405]

This channel is quickly becoming my fav.Well done Claire! 👏

[@WildBeare]

Haha aw thanks Joe! :D Thanks for putting up with my dodgy filming, working on getting things set up one bit at a time haha

[@rory6089]

@@WildBeare Haha "Just add whiskey!" - Brilliant, are you part Irish or Scottish by any chance ?? 😉 - Was wondering whether to get this one myself, not sure about the noise from it, I'm a fairly light sleeper and I tend to wriggle about!

[@chrisgonecamping]

This is one of my favorite videos, all your videos Clarie are fun, I find it amazing when you pause on nature's beauty you find. Really liked stealth camp with doodlebug that fell out of the tree. Clarie your laughing was so amazing to watch! Thank you for you videos!

[@matthewserkert4401]

Beautiful place, beautiful person, and more beautiful music!

[@mapleleafer74]

I love your 11pm update!

[@edwardsnowdenofficial]

Love the music choices to your videos, soo chilled and perfect for your videos, very relaxing :)

[@clarkcaparas1509]

Love it.. Keep safe Claire 😊

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Thank you, Claire. I enjoyed that. 🙂👍

[@johnnicol64]

The difference in production etc .Clare and her army of supporters have grown and grown.

[@chrisgonecamping]

This video is one of my favorites. Your sense of humor is enjoyable! Thank you for your videos!

[@dacsoto25]

Awesome! Enjoyed watching it

[@jamessummerlin9516]

Love the scenery, really nice woods. All around great job.

[@rkblog289]

So proud

[@brianr6387]

Hi Claire, that was a lovely camp out so thank you for sharing! Have to say that the stags call is loud! Glad to see it's not just me that doesn't sleep well when out! If you ever think of camping in Scotland then it would be amazing! You would love it! Stay safe , 😊🤗

[@michaelpepper7230]

Your channel has been popping up after watching other videos, so I finally watched it and now I've watched several of your videos. I love them its good to see you having such a good time and getting out with your son. A new sub as soon as I saw the baby food container with the whiskey, I'm a rum man myself but each to their own. Great channel keep up the good work.

[@Marcelo49204]

Que riqueza de cores. Mágico!!!!

[@victordevonshire807]

Watch your eyes on those out sticking branches they flick up. I won't go further. You are legend. You know more than me. I'm no camper but you are brilliant. Me I couldn't put a tent up to save my life. But I've learnt a few tricks. Knowing footpaths that no one knows and little tricks how to get out of the rain and cold. Small shelters, narrow width but laid back. Brilliant 👍🙏❤

[@steveburbidge875]

Inspirational, simple Thank you

[@bartwalker6093]

Staggy McStaggface? You kill me Girl!! That is so funny. I started laughing when I heard you say that in the video! Thanks for the good laugh!

[@WildBeare]

🦌 Glad you enjoyed it haha :D

[@WildC_AMPutee]

Watched quite a few of your videos now, I think you're amazing. And really positive too :) great watch

[@fredcarter7003]

Music from the rain sounds so so good

[@findsinlancashiredetecting1084]

Outstanding video keep them coming

[@calvinmonroe2408]

I just cant get enough of your videos lass

[@Cariboukid]

Greetings from Canada! This is video #2 I've watched after stumbling across your channel and I'm loving it! There's really nothing quite like being all warm and cozy in your tent when it's storming outside. Ahhhh...the patter of the rain on the roof! I am very much looking forward to watching all of your videos Claire, thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Cheers! Mike

[@donwagner6343]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@jonyoung6253]

I wouldn't care to be charged by a stag while in a tent either. I'm about to get back into camping (although from a motorcycle, so no long hikes and I'm too creaky now anyway) in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, USA. It's the bears that will keep me awake at night. Love your channel, keep up the great work.

[@ericchilver9113]

Staggy McStag face lol. Scotch in coffee , now your talking, mm brandy too yum nite nite , .those birds sound better than the stag . Awesome video Claire

[@Itsme-ce5od]

Claire you are a strong soul. I couldnt do what you do. Well I could if forced to....but that's my point. It takes a true passion. Amg them sounds are freaky. I felt like I needed to give you a hug but you had the best night sleep ever camping!!!! Silly me. Hope you all caught up on your sleep that you've ever lost. Peace n blessings x

[@dianatheis8623]

Hi. I just found your channel. What a great entertaining and funny video. I can emphasize with being awake at night, strange noises, etc. I am looking forward to watching another one of your videos. I just put in an order for the xtherm pad. Happy camping 🏕.

[@TheBobbymcd]

Glad this showed in my recommendations...glad ive got spiel check as well! another great outdoors channel i'l be enjoying. haha playing stag barks in your tent....love it :)

[@johnchecketts1732]

Good video Claire hope you had a lovely time and it wasn't to cold for you take care and stay safe xx

Nice!! & comfort for sleep And spot camp too👍

Great video and good to see a pretty lady doing outdoors stuff👍

[@darrenbrown7132]

Really enjoyed your video, well done I look forward to watching some more over the next few months ☺️

[@WildBeare]

Aw thank you Darren! Have a great eve, Claire

[@ronwilkinson5158]

Brilliant, great film u r an inspiration to many :-)

[@WildBeare]

Aw thank you :) have a great eve!

[@donnybigboy]

Hi WildBeare, another brilliant video. Another tip for you, if in the summer you buy a car windscreen sun blocker, it will fit in your sleeping bag when the temperatures really drop. I have done that a few times in winter on Dartmoor and does make a difference. Also, i have before tied a web mesh of paracord above my tarp shelter to offer some protection against window makers (if you have no other option). Also, I love that you take your own food as I do. Some of these trek meals are very expensive. I enjoy my homemade spag bol or beef curry in vac sealed bags. Take care.

[@waynus2021]

hey Claire great video , it`s always a good idea to check around you for small mini tracks before setting up camp , i suspect those deer knew you were there and were too nervous to pass by on their normal route that they would use every night , believe it or not they have pretty poor eyesight but are wired to hell with smell and hearing .Also , i believe the big growths on the tree behind you might have been the much sought after "chicken of the woods" which are delicious , i`ve just recieved the OEX leviathan 900 and i`m yet to use it in anger

[@tictoc5443]

Who needs netflix when theres this

[@nikymorris]

Cracking camp and setup, great video, cheers, Niky.

[@WildBeare]

Thanks Niky :D

[@NotAnotherAdventure]

My god those Deer were constant!! Glad that you stayed warm, great video!

[@WildBeare]

Haha yeh they were completely off their heads that night! Thanks :D Claire

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Hey Clair, great little camp that was! The deer!! 😂 I had a similar night a few months back, they kept me up until gone midnight 🤦🏻‍♂️ Can’t beat the thermarest pads, wouldn’t be without mine. Great video, thanks for sharing Ash 🏕

[@WildBeare]

Thanks Ash! Yeh don't think I've had them that active before haha. I was impressed with it, could feel it radiating heat back at my legs! Looking forward to trying it in colder temps! :D

[@tom-ehill2713]

Thank you Claire@!@🤗

[@robdavies9174]

Great video. Keep up the good work

[@b57ecv]

I can't get enough of being out in the element's cooking camping surviving in the wilderness, im lucky because I've even got my gear setup in my garden as well , i prefer the stormy weather a lot as its more fun and i sleep better when its blowing a gale, its something primorial it just keeps calling me to be out there i think its the hunter gather that exists in some of us.

[@davidwiser1113]

Style and class …. that’s Claire 😀

[@calvinmonroe2408]

Really does look delish for a nice warm meal

[@bathcolin]

You have cheered me up no end Claire. Keep on doing it and I'll keep on watching and liking. Take good care eh?

[@WildBeare]

Aw yay! Thank you Colin :)

[@richa1147]

there's a fine line between incredibly annoying and incredibly endearing and the way you say "morning" is just about the right side - so cute!

[@steveallen1333]

Lovely video, nice reviews of your kit. Keep them coming

[@WildBeare]

Aw thank you Steve! :D Claire

[@ed7540]

Thank you, your such a towny with your comments about the wildlife. But in a very cute and funny way. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Haha thanks Edward!

[@ed7540]

Wow. I’ve never had a reply before. I’m an old school woodsman who my kids are showing me how this stuff works. Lol. Thank you and I’ll keep watching your videos as you are very good and funny.

[@ascot1049]

Brilliant.

[@WildBeare]

thanks :D

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Looked like a scary night at times but good to see you were still smiling. I don’t sleep much either wild camping but like you say who needs sleep, it’s just too exciting. I always feel like it’s Christmas as a child and can’t wait for morning to come so my adventure can continue 👍🇬🇧😄

[@WildBeare]

Haha yeh it's good fun isn't it :D thanks for watching, have a great eve, Claire

[@sebastianforbes1]

Just randomly found your channel, and like what I see. Can't beat whisky in coffee - for that alone you've got a new sub 😁👍

Aw thanks Shaun! 😊

Too much fun.

[@footballwarmups1to1]

This makes me want to be outside with Nature.... away from the system! great video....... love it

[@MIBIncomeEncourager]

Clare if the deer keep you awake take a pack of the silicon ear putty....they are brilliant and can mould into the ear+ can be worn when swimming or surfing.

[@stevepearce8099]

Just found this site. Something really impressive and even attractive about a young woman with fieldcraft skills and self reliance in the outdoors. Love the presentation and production too. Will follow Wildbeare from now. Keep it up girl. My kids will enjoy this too.

Hi. Nice video and beautiful place ❤️🙏

[@jeffreyfowler4362]

Hi nice little video you done well to get any sleep 👍

[@shanequigley7552]

Great video 😊 nice choice of music

[@dantibbs6232]

great video, love woodland camping, & i agree it gets a bit creepy once the night comes, but it's nature & were a part of it all. In regards to your sleeping bag upgrade, i've just bought a cumulus quilt (the 450). the foot box can zip/close up, it clips round your pad, and unlike a mummy bag it's great for active/side sleepers, It's also packed with ethical polish down, so it regulates your temperature in all seasons and it can be used purely as a quilt or a blanket! It's not the cheapest but it'll last you many years! one last thing. For extra warmth i use a zlite sol under my pad for some extra R rating & comfort & also take a little air out of my Thermarest so i sink into it. Have subscribed & look forward to checking out your other videos.

[@adriancaldwell]

Enjoyed this a lot...I'm like an owl magnet when I wild camp...last time I had one right above me on the branch allllllll night haha gotta love nature. I also have that Xtherm and think it's great. Ta Claire!

[@WildBeare]

Glad you enjoyed it :) I love the nature noises, even though they keep me up all night!
