Other youtubers can be so serious about camping/bushcraft. It's fun watching another weirdo out in the woods. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

[@WildBeare]

Haha thanks! Best wishes from England, from one weirdo to another 😄👋💚

[@mx-0163]

I think this channel is better than a lot of other bushcraft channels because its more real. Things go wrong, sometimes you get drenched, and sometimes your tarp blows away in the night. Instead of buscrafter telling you how you're doing it wrong or have bad kit, its just fun mistakes and enjoying your time in the woods.

[@mx-0163]

@bechris9959 I mean yeah. It's KZbin. I don't think anyone is expecting to watch bushcraft documentaries here. Anyone who has ever done bushcraft should know that things go wrong constantly. This is more real because some of the things that go wrong are shown unlike other channels. That's not really difficult to understand I thought.

[@user-David-Alan]

You always put a unique spin on the camping experience. That was awesome but I think better at the beach. Please stay well and always creative. You are pure entertainment. Thank you for being you.

[@thethirdageangler1384]

As a fisherman I have to say that I have sat under my umbrella in heavy rain and stayed perfectly dry. Perhaps a better quality one wouldn’t leak.

[@WildBeare]

Hmm yes you're probably right, this one didn't have taped seams so the water came through. It would be ok for a light shower but no good in a downpour

[@mental963]

Agree with third age angler, a better brand like Fox or Korda will be waterproof and you can remove the pole and use storm poles on the front for stability. I have one that is over 10 years old and still waterproof.

[@felixalbion]

Agreed. I have had the same fishing brolly for 30 years and never leaked even in storms. But it has fully taped seams, reinforced stitching and heavy duty material.

[@anthonywood7420]

Yeh, I'm agreeing with everyone, an umbrella should keep the rain off, sort of fundamental to umbrellaness.

[@hoser7706]

Or seam seal that one and spray the fabric?

[@SteeleJackOutdoors]

I camped through a thunderstorm back in July. It was amazing! In my little stratosphere with a tarp over the top to keep it dry. Was very impressed that the tarp stayed in place over 3 days without any adjustment! It’s an amazing atmosphere though, especially when you’re dry and snug. Can’t wait to do it again. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@WildBeare]

Ah that sounds great :D I just tried the Ionosphere recently, a bit small for my liking but it would be much better with a tarp over. That's amazing that it stayed put for 3 days! 👏 Thank you for watching, hope you're having a nice week :)

[@EclipseAdventureTravels]

Claire, you go from the downright crazy to the absolute madness....and I love it! Not afraid to try something new, and always bring with you the fun factor with any camp you do. You have to love the abundance of wildlife around you (my favourite on any camp). Keep doing what you do, I personally love your eagerness to give happy & fun content. X

[@WildBeare]

Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy my lil nights out :D have a great week 🙂🌿🐻

[@StevenKeery]

@@WildBeare : Glad to see your physio seems to be working. Have you ever considered a wild camp on a beach? Or are there none close enough to you that are suitably isolated? Or even a camping trip from an inflatable kayak, or paddle board. Camping on an island in the river. It might make for interesting photographs of tree branches overhanging the water and the tree roots in the water. You might have to share the island with geese or ducks but that would add interest imo. Best wishes to you, I always enjoy your shenanigans.

@@WildBeare : I holidayed in Rhodes a few years back. The air was hot and sultry, with the promise of a storm. As I was sitting under a beautiful tree at a restaurant, a bolt of lightning hit the ground about 100 feet from me. The bang was tremendous and I could feel the reverberation it caused as a shock wave. The staff immediately hustled everyone inside until the storm was over. When I returned a few months later, the cafe had pruned many of the branches of the tree I had sat under, totally disfiguring it. I loved that tree. Lol

Glad to hear you are on the mend, and I look forward to your next adventure, stay safe, I forgot to mention, it was great to hear the owls and animals in the background, I have red squirrels where I live, and some of them come very close within two or 3 feet of where I’m standing, There is a young lady in Sweden. I believe she is English and she bought a property in Sweden a few years ago with her partner and she does wildlife photography and she has lots of red squirrels in the area. .

[@BentbrooksRambles]

Your perpetual sense of adventure and willingness to try anything is just delightful. I do love a good storm. I've quaffed a pint in my hammock during one, but I've also been trapped on a mountain ridge in one, also in my hammock, but utterly humbled and terrified as my eyes were blinded my lighting bolts and thunder rattled my very soul. I carry a lightning tracker that I can turn on at the first rumble of thunder so that I can make sound decisions as a storm approaches me. As always, I enjoyed this!

[@WildBeare]

Heyy, oooh lordy that sounds absolutely terrifying. It's one of my fears, to be camped up high and wake up to a thunderstorm. I've been out in a valley in a storm before and could see the lightning hitting all the surrounding peaks and ridges. I'm so glad you were unscathed by it Thanks for watching my lil viddy, hope your week is a good one :)

I love that you experiment with various types of shelters. Your positive outlook on life and wild camping is contagious. Iʻm now motivated to get out more often and pop up different tarp configurations. You must know the area as you appear to be safe and secure from creatures.

Looks like you've taken the first steps in designing your own outdoor sleep system Claire- there's definitely an opportunity for someone with ur wild camping experience to design the perfect tent/shelter. I know if there was a product which had ur name on it I'd definitely buy it- how about The ClaireBeare range!!

[@chrislongnecker9643]

Love your videos! I cannot wait to hit some trails soon.😊

[@MattieD]

best advice i can give for waterproofing ; thick contractor garbage/bin bags. Cut them along one side to open them up for larger surface area, and put them either under, or over your tarp/shelter. They are very cheap, but extremely effective. Best advice for warmth, as a canadian, Wool. Even when its soaking wet, it will keep you toasty warm. Anyways, I love you videos very much, the relaxing vibes, and the general happiness you feel when enjoying the outdoors is very therapudic, thanks so much for sharing it all with us!!

[@peterjohnson6273]

You're vid's are so fun to watch, Claire. Thanks for them. If you want to waterproof a piece of equipment, mix one part of good quality silicone, with about 20 parts paint thinner. I forget what Englander's call it. Make sure the item you want to waterproof is clean and dry. Hang it such that no part of the item overlaps, you can make two applications within a day or three of each other. Mix the silicone and paint thinner well, very well, and keep mixing it as you apply it. Use a wide brush to apply it. Don't do this work indoors! Wear old clothes, rubber gloves, and face protection if you can get it. Be smart applying it. Let the item hang in good ventilation for three or four days. Hang it in the sun to accelerate drying. Hope this helps.

That was a great idea to camp under that, Claire. It’s blimmin massive. Good idea to strengthen it mind.

Brillient! Loved this little overnight trip. The rain & thunderstorms made it magical.

I forget about the camping...my jaw just hits the ground on seeing that gorgeous lady ... Absolutely drop dead gorgeous 😍

I have to say Claire that looked so lovely and cosy!! Amazing infact... storm rain, and your open but protected .. that would be on my bucket list... that fishing umbrella was a great idea. (Even with tarp) 😉

Marvelous video. The lightening through the trees is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see you out and about and the ankle on the mend! Fishing brollies have gone down hill since I bought mine it seems. While I wouldn't hike with mine, it makes a great bit of kit in my canoe. As instant shelter for breaks and make shift sail too. Mine was bought when I was a school boy, which probably makes it twice as old as you and it still gets used. Brilliant things. Thanks for for sharing your adventures. Al
