Bad Weather Wild Camping with Budget Lightweight Hiking Tent 🌧️🍂 Lanshan 2 | Unexpected Thunderstorm

Nothing seems to bother you! It thunders - go downhill, it pours with rain, go barefoot across the river. Your attitude and confidence is inspiring. I absolutely love your videos!

The issue with camping next to a river (for me anyway), is I'm hearing running water all night which makes me want to pee 😯 so I'm constantly getting during the night.

one of the best feelings in the world.. lying warm dry and cosy in a tent und listening to the rain on the tent! Stay healthy!

[@justsayin644]

i have to admire this girl for her positive attitude and give it a go mentally even in the worst of British winter weather! Few could handle this!

[@richard_n]

I prefer a two person tent when I'm out solo. It's always nice to be able to bring all your gear inside if the weather turns really bad. The most important thing is that it can handle strong winds and heavy rain/snow.

[@markmccusker2845]

i love how you just get out there in that horrible weather and let nothing dampen that smile. You absolutely got your reward waking up to that beautiful morning. Thanks for sharing

[@celtickshatriya4306]

Something so soothing when u hear heavy rain hitting the canvas and your toastie and dry inside.

[@AndyHullMcPenguin]

Big rocks on top of the pegs will help keep them in when it gets really windy, and believe me it gets really wet and windy round here. You can also tie on to large logs or wrap the lines round large boulders.

[@Codethe_Road]

Nothing better than just getting out there, and having some fun. I miss being able to move freely, and adventure.... the whole world is going crazy, they just want us in our houses everyday for the rest of time. So--- watching videos like this is very therapeutic.

You do an cracking good job of capturing the natural beauty of that landscape with your camera work. Everytime I watch one of these videos I come away impressed by the views and how much water is flowing. The countryside in the UK lookes very nice.

Thanks Aaron, it really is beautiful! I live further south so I have a bit of a journey to get up north to the mountains, but it's so worth it. I feel at home up there. Thanks for watching, have a lovely eve :) Claire 🐻

[@chrishamilton2527]

Greetings, Claire. For soft ground & wind, get yourself 4x Delta pegs (yellow). They are amazing; not cheap but they are lightweight, albeit a bit bulky. They work incredibly well in soft ground. The drive themselves in deeper when pulled on.

[@darren25061965]

@@WildBeare Apparently you do actually get a warning prior to being struck by lightning, you feel tingly and your hair starts to stand on end, at which point you are supposed to drop to your knees and place your hands on your knees, to provide a direct path to earth bypassing your heart. Just lying flat would be more effective. I doubt this procedure was created by anyone who survived a strike. Then theres the sensible option, the one you chose, get down lower.

[@jonbroadsword7572]

It seems like lately I've seen several KZbin campers, who when confronted by thunder and lightning, drive on uphill like they are immune from wind, rain, and electricity. As someone who has experienced an extremely close lightning strike, it was wonderful to see you use your common sense and try to put distance between yourself and the storm. Please keep showing smart, safe outdoor skills that we can all learn from.

[@waynewanderer]

i quite enjoy a good thunderstorm but yes , once you have one zap the ground within a stone`s throw it tends to make you VERY humble indeed , once your heart rate drops below 180bpm you notice that weird smell....... it`s actually terrifying and NOT something you want to change the odds on

[@WildBeare]

Thanks Jon, ahh man that must have been terrifying!! 😰 I'm so glad you were OK!! I would love to camp out in thunder if I were down low and fairly sheltered, but intentionally heading into it up high is madness in my humble opinion. I was camping with my son in the mountains at a camp site a couple years ago when a thunderstorm hit.. we were in the valley but could see the lightning hitting the peaks & ridges around us, over & over.. don't fancy it one lil bit haha! Thanks for watching, hope you're having a nice week :) Claire 🐻

[@DazDT]

I love your determination to force the tent into bad weather conditions to see how it holds up. That's some pro product testing right there! The Tent makers should be queuing up to get you testing their gear! Loved the thunderstorm footage too, they sound amazing up in the hills! I was nearly at the top of Skiddaw in the lake district when I heard a storm approaching from the other side, I about turned and made a hasty retreat back down the hill. Luckily it was only a day trip so I wasn't fully loaded with camping gear but by the time I got back to Keswick, the storm had already caught me and I was drenched. The 'un-ladylike' bit in the video reminded me of when I accidently mooned an old couple at a campsite in Crawdon (Pennine Way). I say mooned....they got both sides! I was drenched and had to get the bottom part of my wet gear off. It was lashing it down, I didn't think anyone was around. I dropped the bottom part of my gear off, pirouetted into the tent, looked up and saw the two old dears looking out the front of their camper van. Anyhow, looking forward to the uncensored version of the video on OF! The weirdos will spend a fortune to see it! 😀 Keep up the great work Claire, it's November and the videos keep coming! You're amazing! Daz x

Thanks for another great video. It takes dedication to film while dealing with such weather. What a wonderful campsite.

Magical Claire. I’ve subscribed to you for some time now and followed you through your good and bad times.

You hit a problem now, you find a way around it, in your earlier videos you could sense your insecurities at times, sometimes your indecisiveness would come through. Not anymore, you’re confident in your decisions and have started mastering your craft. WELL DONE You. You’re a true inspiration to any young female who may be going through a tough time, your videos show their is a way forward for them not to let their fears control them.

Please don't cross rocky streams in bare feet. The risk of a foot injury is too great.

[@jeremytorgersen]

@@rogerodoherty Yes agree, practicing caution is wise to mitigate and manage risks. I only cross water barefoot when it makes more sense and I can see the bottom of a shallow stream (and when I have hiking poles/stick for added stability.) For beginners or those not use to being outdoors, I definitely don't recommend being barefoot.

That’s great to hear Claire as a viewer you don’t mind seeing gear reviews but difficult if it’s paid and you never hear a bad word said. You could maybe accept the gear to try and review on basis your review is what it is positive negative or indifferent and they don’t pay you. Maybe you could give away some of the stuff in viewer comps after you have finished with it or do something for charity with it.

@@ianhoughton3349 Thanks Ian, yes that's an idea :) I haven't even accepted any free stuff for well over a year for the same reason.. it still feels like I would have to moderate what I say about it, so I'm preferring to just buy my own gear and do my own thing currently

Hmm ?🤔? I seriously doubt that it would happen with $4.00 Walmart equipment - (Just saying !*)

[@blazer4999]

Well done for following your instincts to move to lower ground! It reminded me of a time I was wild camping in the Pyrenees. Just before sundown I watched a big thunder storm and lightening show about 10 miles from me. The weather forecast said it would keep moving south of my position. I went to sleep. One hour later I was woken up by a clap of thunder very close by. The forecast was wrong! A voice in my head said 'move your butt now!' I jumped out the pop up tent and shoved it into the back of the car. Just as I got into the drivers seat the heavens opened. I barely had time to shut the door! It hammered down. I decided to get to lower ground and drove off to the village as lighting struck around me and a literal river ran down the road. Just to mention when camping in woodlands or groups of trees. Always check there are no dead or weak looking boughs or branches above where you pitch. And never camp under mature Beech trees because they are renowned at dropping lower branches without warning, even on perfectly still days. Its the nature of how the Beech puts more energy into upper branches compared to other species. As such the lower boughs become weak and can simply just fell off.

[@Robkerr76]

Best thing about horrendous weather is getting dry, cosy & in shelter. Makes you truly appreciate the simple things in life like warm, dry socks 😂 I wouldn’t be rushing out to buy this tent however. I have had my Vango Banshee 200 for 9 years now and it’s amazing in all weather in the most rugged terrain, mainly the cairngorms. HighLy recommend

[@timb171]

I love my Lanshan 2, I use it with the lanshan 1 inner, which leaves me enough space under the fly sheet to bring my bike in when I'm bikepacking. HOWEVER, I consider it my fair weather tent, for this time of year I use my Wild Country Helm 2 compact, but I have to leave my bike outside. It's a kilo heavier than the Lanshan 2, but it's so much more robust and can cope with much stronger winds etc due to being a freestanding semi geodesic design, with crossed poles. Although it's not truly a 4 season mountain tent, it does everything I'm gonna use it for and the weight is less of an issue when you're loading it onto the bike rather than carrying it on your back. The Lanshan is great, as long as you keep it in it's comfort zone keep on keeping on.

You can sink the stakes down to ground level, and put some rocks on top of them, if it gets windy. Some river rocks would work great. Fun video!

Beautiful video with breathtaking landscapes and stunningly edited and presented... ❤❤❤👍👍👍 And this beautiful Lady is a total asset to the outdoor community. Kindest regards... I gave up on the Lanshan tents, only for dry summer months and even then sceptical about keeping you dry and comfortable. The Scarp-1 tent is my favourite and the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 Tent... Not cheap!... But, I trust them in all weathers... 👍👍👍

[@MattGriffiths81]

I do love that feeling when you're in, and dry, and you can just *flumpfh* back (technical term) with a big sigh. The moments between "I've pitched" and that though are some of the suckiest in wet and windy weather. It's good to see you're as uncouth about it as everybody else, you just kinda roll around trying not to mash anything against anything else whilst hoping above all that the water decides to stay out of the tent 🤣. Riverside camps are my favourite, especially waterfalls, I absolutely love the sound of running water, and have some pretty special spots saved up over the past few years.

[@TheWirksworthGunroom]

I've found that a pair of cheap, lightweight wetsuit boots are worth packing. They weigh next to nothing and can be used for a river crossing or as "camp slippers" while your boots are drying out if needs be. Sealskinz merino goretex socks are the thing to have if your boots have got flooded, excellent bit of kit. Happy camping! :)

[@kurtbaier6122]

Luv you as a person. And Luv your vids of the Brit countryside and your adventures. Thanks for bringing us along. A one internal, or two or 3 external pole pyramid tent is my choice for a bad weather tent, with external lines to stabilize the pole (s). On top of an exposed mountain I would go with a tarp pitched very low to the ground and a bivy sack. Never seen fiberglass or aluminum poles do well in winds. You made the best decision getting down.
