Cozy Tarp Tent Camp In The Rain 🌧️ Wild Camping UK

[@WildBeare]

Hi Guys! Thanks for stopping by, I'm gonna pop up a separate lil viddy of how to put up a tarp in this configuration later in the week :) Hope you have a looooovely evening! Also hope you like slugs. Claire 🌿🐻

[@Prof.Polymath]

Keep a little sealy bag of slug pellets in your kit, mix a little salt and ant powder in there for good measure, then sprinkle around the edge of your tent ✌🏼

[@WildBeare]

@@DanDan-er3rm thank you Dan, love to be out out :D

[@WildBeare]

@@Prof.Polymath Hi Kenny, ooo, that's a good idea! I don't know if I fancy waking up to a ring of half dissolved slugs round the tent though 😄

[@heloise121]

Hi Claire, you have inspired a couple of 50 somethings to get a tent! my hubby is a little more reluctant but ive slept in it in the garden several times now and love it! my mental health is thriving my lovely.

[@keithshwalbe6981]

"Claire, Queen of the Slugs" . . has a nice ring to it, don't you think. Lol

[@jeffcoulson8662]

After a rubbish week at work you always put a smile on my face. You are such a happy young lady. Thanks another great video.👍👌

[@HatfieldFilms]

Great episode.... The slugs were a nice touch.

[@simonjenkins3618]

thats a Awesome little video of your tarp tent setup Claire❤👌👍😍🥰❤

[@SmithandWesson22A]

You are SO happy...it's infectious. Thankyou from Australia.

[@IanSmith465]

Love your enthusiasm and willingness to try things :)

[@Winzor722]

Ooof chilli….nice one!!!

[@chaswarren7239]

Only you could make an artistic video of slugs and have people enjoying watching it !

[@teweller]

Just bought a tarp similar to yours. Would love to see how you made a tent out of it. Looking forward to that video!

[@peesua]

Check out a channel called Papa Hiker on KZbin. He's the master of tarp configurations and actually invented many of them.

[@paulhawkyard350]

Check out kzbin.info/door/B7BPYlL4f5j5R1Y7HUgeVg shows how to do the tarp config

[@handymanalbert]

I've never been to the UK but like here in BC, Canada, woops... it's raining. lol. We live in a Rain Forest! Difference is, we cannot keep our food or cook our food near the camp because we have bears and cougars. I wish we could but, we have to keep our food at least 200-300 meters from where we sleep. Same with cooking! Any "predators" in your area? I LOVE your videos! Thank you for your generosity!

[@stephenparkes6072]

Hello Wildbeare love your videos,stay safe. Steve

[@pbrb123]

Looks like a very nice camp but... bleeehch... I do not like slugs!! Glad you had a good night out.

[@lesliemiller5790]

Most likely the candle, but you can reignite a candle after it is blown out, just by placing a lit match in the smoke trail.

[@shuggyrafting8092]

You need to come and camp in Scotland, my area has some stunning places, especially for bike touring

[@johnharrington501]

Hello. I really love your videos and your voice is just so relaxing to listen to and I often replay your videos in order to help me get to sleep. You have a slight accent but I can't quite make out where you acquired it. I'm guessing somewhere between Northampton and Hertfordshire.

[@conarc-d1037]

Haha I hope the slugs didn't into your clothes while you were sleeping! I bet you slept great with the sound of the rain hitting your tarp. If you can, you should try and record the sound and put in on a 10:00 loop for sleeping. It would for sure get views. Beautiful as always and thank you for sharing Claire!

[@みだらな外人]

I dream of waking up with you and naming slugs. Seriously. Then we could go back to sleep for a while.

[@knotbushcraft6697]

Well done for slugging it out !!!

[@chicagorandy]

Very fun vids.... I must confess the last time I slept outdoors, it was in Vietnam in '72....... any somebody else bought the gear - lol

[@jouzel8951]

Lovely video! Well I have to say living in the Canadian Rockies, I am jealous of eating in your tent, we have too many bears for that, and your tiny slugs are cute! Really enjoying your content, thanks for sharing.

[@louisemerriman1079]

Love this content . Subscribed 😀 very peaceful and relaxing

[@raidarablover]

1:28 omg ♥

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Another great video. So calming and peaceful 👍👍

[@theduke998]

3rd... not playing 😂🤣😂 Great vid 😎👍

[@heatherandthehounds]

Those slugs!!! lol

[@ChrisWoutdoors]

Great tarp setup , set mine up same as this with my DD 4x4 tarp but yet to camp out in it.... Nice to see a wild camper without a big hairy beard...lol New Subscriber... ATB Chris.

[@grahamscothern4319]

Clare omg those slugs that is proper Nasty and in your hair . You are one brave person !! Great Vid as always Atb Graham

[@owtnabowt2723]

I try not to think about the slugs, or I'd never get out...lol. Have to start calling you the slug whisperer 😂

[@stevenpaschak]

I wish I could eat in a shelter. Where I live that would bring black bears into my tarp like a magnet.

[@chrisbrittain2098]

Loving the videos, this may of been said already, if so I am sorry. The early noise you asked what it was, it was a squirrel. Look forward to your Snowden video.

[@itsreallyrona]

Ha thanks for the slug footage! that was so funny to see...they were just everywhere! Did you find a stray one when you got home and unpacked?

[@thesmallestbigbite.itsjust3352]

curious little creatures that's what makes them amazing, humans that is, slugs are incredible as well but i have met some humans who are just as slimy,,, fantastic vid as always well done.

[@WildBeare]

Haha, I have too! 😄 Thank you for watching & have a lovely eve :)

[@madhacker7]

Downright rude those slugs! I like that tarp configuration but would a 6 foot tall person be able to lie down in there? Thanks for sharing that vid with is!

[@HardyBunster]

A true outdoors person never wears flip flops. That’s how to spot a fly camper, look for the flip flops. 😲

[@WildWoodsman]

Nice one!!! If you were going to stick your head out all night, I would have suggested a smudge pot out of an old food can. Just smoulder some Yarrow over hot coals in the can to drive those bugs out. The smokier the better, only, you don't want to be smoking yourself out either :P

[@greaseboards9684]

7:34 makes me want to be a snail. Lol. Fun *10 7:34

[@mateuszk3210]

😂 hope you didn't pack one of those little friend with a tarp? Nice music 🎶 i was going to ask, did you ever have animals stealing food at night ? Happened to me when i was camping with friends in Croatia ;)

[@schonbuchgams]

Nice Video Thank You 👍 and a New Abonnent, grüße Michael

[@irvsstella]

Hey Claire Bear, great vids, love them. Can you recommend clothing or have you done an episode for women's clothing? My partner and I have just started wildcamping and although I'm ex military, heavy duty camo doesn't go down well with the better half. Can you recommend ladies clothing please. Or at least point us to somewhere to look, Regards, Irvsstella.

[@kke]

A slug tried to get to my coffee pan, I moved it away, but apparently it had not familiarized itself with "leave no trace", anything it touched, including my finger, had a yellow stain that wouldn't come off with anything.

[@steelydan473]

For gods sake Claire.....you really ARE a wild-one aren't you! Those bloody slugs.....you've got more tennis balls than I have gal, and I'm male. Brilliantly insectuous; sorry.... infectious video as always. Absolutely brilliant. ( except for those slime trails in yer hair lol.)

[@johannweikinger6885]

So Eine Super Wunderschöne Frau

[@JB-ip7vr]

I'm going to make noodles for breakfast because I'm a wrong'un LOL

[@ianwoodzy638]

Good effort Claire bear! I would prefer my super light weight tent with inner mosquito mesh for the bug situation, and tiny animals, while sleeping! although I have passed out in the middle of the Northern Bolivian Amazon, I did not make it back to a shared the tent in our group, 1 night! we were all very more than tipsy, especially me, I had tiny baby tarantulas waking me up in the morning, all over my face! anyhow great effort!

[@MyVikinglife]

I hate slugs, that would have freaked me out lol

[@greenstone11]

@ 4:13 ;)

[@satriayusuf598]

I love it this channel and beautifull girl...

[@Jermeister]

From squirrel air-attacks to the slug-pocalypse! 😂 Thanks for another wonderful outdoors video, Claire! Keeps me going in this lockdown!

[@stephaniew.9366]

Love the videoediting Claire Bear! You are a very brave young lady! I really am not sure I could sleep in the woods alone, having to listen to the deer and foxes screaming all night long, but if I do eventually decide to camp out, I'm going to stick to my one man backpacking tent to avoid the bugs xx Thanks for sharing your adventures lovely and God bless and keep you safe. Amen 🙏

[@oliviaskelton5876]

Your videos are so relaxing, they really help me wind down to go to sleep, which for an insomniac is such a gift. Thank you ❤

[@ih8018]

Slug city but u always bring a smile to my Face so peaceful your vids 😁😁👍👍👍

[@timdion7834]

I don’t know what’s going behind the scenes but your camera presence is additictively pleasant. Thank you for that.

[@John1067strat]

Love the Deer calls 😃 A very comfy little tent, perfect. The slugs, definitely rude and they are everywhere 😳 As always excellent video work👍👍😃

[@Ashysand]

Thanks for sharing I can’t wait to get out. I had a stroke last year. Just getting stronger

[@silveribis55]

Ah isn't it great to go do stuff, by yourself, for yourself, and how you want to! Great video and thanks for sharing!

[@KenFernbach]

Love this pitch choice with the tarp- really nice neat look- you go girl! ❤️👍🍄🌱🧘🏼🌿🦋🌲🚴🏼‍♂️🙏

[@tommanserable]

Things like waking up with a slug on my face or in my bag is one of the reasons why I use a hammock! Love your vids

[@mosfear]

Saw this and thought you might find it useful to know if you camp in similar conditions in future: 'Astrantia gives off a scent that repels slugs and snails and so acts as a natural pesticide. Wormwood, rue, fennel, anise and rosemary all have the same effect.'

[@lukedorrington7455]

That's a tip worth remembering, going straight in my notebook thanks

[@WildBeare]

Oooo, thank you Mike :D

@irlan hakim please read about the pagans it mite help you see truth haha

[@urbanAngler_Bigfoot]

What poor excuse for a Human Being has put a thumbs down on this video? Ha Ha!

[@madmaxmcinnes4102]

I stopped using a tent years ago! My trusty DD 9X9 has stood-up to the worst the Scottish Highlands can throw at it😎 Give you a tip - get a piece of midge-net and a dozen plastic clips, and simply clip it all around the doorway of the tarp-tent ...... that'll keep most of the wee beasties out, esp. the midges👍

[@WildBeare]

They're great aren't they! Great idea, thank you :)

[@rb9526]

Hi Claire, great video as always! The noise at 3.12 is a Common Buzzard, more than likely a young bird. Hope this helps. I love a tarp tent configuration too. I must say your videography/editing skills are a joy to watch 👏🏽👏🏽🏕

[@gailrogers3046]

Absolutely love your vids. Only negative is they are not long enough 😀. Could watch you for hours. What an inspiration you are especially for solo female wild campers. That was so good I’m gonna watch it again. I don’t like slugs as I’m a passionate gardener. I use beer traps. Probably upset a lot of people but they die happy and I’m not poisoning our hedgehogs birds and other wildlife. Love you to bits. Keep vlogging. Thankyou 💗💗

[@MrJC1]

I agree. Longer vids are needed.

[@spadge34]

I found this particular vid really entertaining, I love your easy recording style and genuine enthusiasm, it is really refreshing. Keep doing what you do!

[@keithshwalbe6981]

Always so happy t o see you..Enjoying your adventures and loving nature. Your innocent joy is so infectioious. Stay cosy lovely Claire xxxxxx

Ace video this week Claire! Think you made us all smile and laugh at the slug incident...saves having to pack hair gel I guess. Anyhows, looking forward to your next one...(video, not slug)...

[@jacobotha6158]

Nature tip - Slugs just love salt. If you throw a bit of salt on them they just bubble with excitement... . .

[@JohnWilson-fo4yu]

You know it's nice not knowing not having to put up with the hustle and bustle of things in life that I used to deal with do miss some things I miss my thirty-eight-year-old brother that passed away miss my kids that are grown and on their own I have been homeless for a long time and it seems like some days are good some days are bad the bad days and nights and when I have to break down my campsite and move to another spot sometimes to a different state but the most thing that I am tired of it is my heart hurting I've had my heart ripped out so many times in life what I seen the deers in the woods and listen to The Crickets at night it seems my soul and it makes me happy I am alone and I have been alone for many years I sometimes wonder I wonder why but it don't matter it seems like I am alone I love being alone and it is what it is

[@Funkteon]

For anyone thinking of doing this in the southern hemisphere, don't - you will be eaten alive in the middle of the night by ground-dwelling insects, spiders, snakes and other creatures... Just do yourself a favour and buy a tent with a bathtub floor such as a TarpTent Notch.

[@grahamsouthern2191]

Yeah the worst you’re gonna get in the U.K. is slimed by a homeless snail😂😂

[@gordongregory9659]

I absolutely love your channel!!! Thankyou!!!!

[@DartmoorPaul]

Your channel is a new find to me as a new wild camper, although lived on Dartmoor for many years I don’t know why I havent been out before! Not yet got the confidence to be exposed out of the tent though in a bivvy or tarp but the idea is exciting and your enthusiasm and videos are inspiring. Thank you, Claire

[@field_stream_woodland3378]

A little tip with the meths burner, once you’ve snuffed it out leave it till it’s cold before you place the main cap back on, if there’s any heat left in the burner it will distort the sealing washer. I tend to take the washer out and flip it over every six months as they tend to concave a little, that way they wear more evenly and you get a better seal

[@WildBeare]

Heyy, good tip thank you :D

[@robertlken2963]

Hiya! You prob know this already, but their is a lid on a hinge on one of the caps. You can slide it to and from to adjust the heat. Nice if u decide to make pancakes some day 👌🥰

[@haeleth7218]

There is nothing lovelier than camping in a tent and hearing the rain on the side of it at night. No sleeping pills are required.

[@TheScoundrel70]

Wow, that was certainly a Slug-a-paloosa! I can't say I've ever seen quite that number in one area before, in the areas I frequent here in Canada. Very useful tip from Mike Hedger in the comments on deterrent options, plus make your camp a bit more fragrant, if you fancy any of the scents he suggested. Thanks for taking us along and keeping us smiling!

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Eeek slugs!! So funny 😃 loved this, nice to see how you can make such a lightweight set up from just a tarp x thanks for sharing 💋

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! I love being out in the rain, too. Everything smells sooooo good, and the colors are all refreshed and enriched! The magic and excitement of thunder and lightning... what a blessing it is. Those slugs, and their snail cousins are amazing creatures! Reminds me of a great book I once read: "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating" by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. I really think you would appreciate it, Claire. Your chili looked delicious!--recipe? ;) I can't get over the racket your deer make! Crazy! Thank you for another fabulous video! They (you) always give me such a feeling of peace and pure joy! Thank you! P. S. Great song at the end! I loved it! Who is it? Thanks again!

[@WildBeare]

Hi Russell, lovely in the rain isn't it, I'd love to be out in a proper storm with thunder etc, bet that's quite exciting haha! Yep the deer are always noisy, I've never had a night the woods in these parts without them barking 🦌🦌 Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it :D the song is called 'Honey Take My Hand' and it's by Cody Francis :) Have a great weekend! Claire

[@russelljackman1413]

@@WildBeare Thank you, Claire! :D I can't recall ever hearing our deer make a sound (here, in Utah). The elk, on the other hand are a different story; the cow elk make what I can best describe as a "mew." The bull elk, when they bugle, make an unearthly noise! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5ilnGNqls-ors0 When camping in Yellowstone Park, in the Autumn months (my favorite time) one can be awakened many times in the night by the bull elk bugling. It is quite a thrill! Thank you again, for the great videos! Happy Trails, and many beautiful moments to you! :) ~Russ

@@russelljackman1413 ahh wow, I LOVE all those different sounds they make, apart from the ones that sound like a woman screaming haha! They are such beautiful animals, I hope I can see one one day.

@stanislaw Hello 😀 from Poland and my little channel

[@jaywalker3087]

I'm very near Dartmoor and love to grab a tarp and my hammock and head off lightweight. With tarps and/or hammock, options for siting your camp are even greater . There is a place I have been to often , near Hay tor, where I can put my hammock and tarp up , 30 feet from a path, yet I am completely hidden. The feeling, I agree, is more of a camp than camping and does feel much better. Nearer to nature. Enjoy 😉

[@dont_delay]

You are so inspiring . Enjoying sitting now in my own tarp tent. Thank you for sharing all your tips such as sleeping and sitting at the entrance . Truly fun
