Freezing Winter Wild Camping 🧊 0°C in the Woods!

It was so nice to get back out in my beloved Naturehike for a gorgeous cold 0°C camp in the woods 😍 This is my favourite tent, but it hardly gets used anymore as I like to play with tarps in the woods these days and have the lighter and smaller Hubba NX for the mountain trips.
I got to try out my new down trousers (they come up short but still kept me nice and warm) and used two kinds of handwarmers. I will always love my trusty zippo, but the hot hands were really great for popping in my socks! Toastyyyy.
See you next week for a Christmas tarp camp, when I try to cook a Christmas dinner in the woods 😬🎄🎅
Thank you so much for watching 😊 Much lovies, Claire 🌿🐻

Just happened on your videos today. This will be the third video of yours I watched. I usually don’t write comments after two or three videos because I think it’s important to have a little bit of a baseline for the person who’s creating their content. However, this one has struck me very very hard. I lost my wife in a car accident in 2011. The first time we went camping together, we’d known each other for about a month and a half. So when we were getting ready to lay down for the night, I told her I would go outside the tent and brush my teeth and make sure everything was put away, and the fire was out. She smiled and I crawled out. Gave her about 10 minutes to herself, and when she had stopped rustling round, I asked if she was ok with me coming back in or if she needed some more time. Told me to come back in, and I was greeted by her beaming smile, and beautiful face that was looking back at me from inside a onesie pajama suit very similar to what you’re wearing. She’s been gone so long, but I’m crying now, and remembering how much I miss her. But as sad as I am, you made me remember something that at the time I thought was adorable, but it turned into one of the most lasting memories I have. Thank you for this, and I’m sorry about the novel. Just couldn’t see this and not say it.

[@minimillimeter]

That's beautiful ❤

[@marcusaurelius49]

Nice video. I am sure I am repeating what others have said about the fuel not catching light, but I believe the issue is that with very cold temperatures the fuel is not creating much vapour to catch alight with the sparks from your flint. The warmer it is, the more vapours to catch light. As you said in the video, a match of gas lighter would have probably worked to warm the fuel and creat the vapours to light.

[@SM-McKraken]

A tip I learned: Those single use handwarmers are a great way to dry out damp boots/socks overnight while one sleeps. Place one warmer per boot, add a damp sock on top of it inside the boot, and then plug the open boot with another dry sock or hat, etc... by the morning you should not only have dry boots and socks, but they'll be toasty warm as well. Those single use warmers last approximately 8 hrs if you keep them air-restricted.

[@winkfinkerstien1957]

Great idea! Thanks! 😎👍🏻

[@chrisgonecamping]

The one use hand warmers I left in my gloves which I store in thermal bag, keeps bits n bobs when I hike. The single use hand warmers stayed hot 3 days. Winter was only cold enough once to use and I use them with ski mittens that are leather. Claire I've not yet had courage to winter camp yet. After I got disabled. Can't wait for spring Temps! What do you use to keep your teeth so brilliant white? Thank you so much for you Claire! The amazing gift of your videos. You do time lapse star photography/ too much light pollution where I live. Have to go back to planetarium again. Love stars, constellations! Never knew see Milky-way will naked eye. Wow!

GOOD EVENING CLAIRE AND CONGRADULATIONS. I love watching your adventures camping. Yes spirit stove or alcohol stoves much harder to light when near freezing or colder. I always just light a scrape of paper, or a dry leaves or grass. Then put them in the centre with the fuel. It soon sorted it self out to the flames . Take care

[@MstrRo1]

You are right about the cold fuel not being able to vaporize. Take a small piece of carbon felt with you that circles the perimeter of the inside of the Trangia then put your fuel in. Then take a mini lighter and light the carbon felt after the fuel has moved up into the felt via capillary action.

[@EattinThurs61]

I went hiking in the mountains in northern Sweden in autumn, first time I had a lighter sleeping bag but it was a bit cold in it, the temp was about 2-4°C, even with a bivvy bag, next time I had a proper winter down sleeping bag, but then it was too warm so I woke up sweaty in the middle of the night. We had lightweight solo tents. Always have matches with you! Light it then put it in the middle of the burner. You could take some birch bark and put in the middle when lighting up the stove.

Whe using my trangia in the cold, I do a couple of things that seem to help. Firstly, spill a little meths on the lip around the outside and light it first, this helps to heat the stove up. Secondly, I swirl the meths around inside to coat the walls as much as possible, this seems to light a lot better. I also use a lighterand just hold the flame in the stove until it catches. I used to have problems using my trangia in the cold but never have issues now following these steps.

Another little trick is to heat up the meths by popping a twig into the meths stove for a few seconds, lighting the stick and popping it back into the stove at an angle. It will heat up the meths and rhe brass and then catch the fuel alight, then just remove the stick. You can do the same with a dead leaf too if long enough. Love the clean fresh air

[@aaronfuentes5919]

Or maybe try that lighter I saw earlier in the video. Lol

[@WildBeare]

Such a good idea thank you Steve :D

[@WildBeare]

@@aaronfuentes5919 bit of a funny angle for a lighter I thought

[@stalwart263]

Get a jet lighter. Nothing lights stoves better. The problem with cigarette lighters is that they are designed to light a cigarette above them, not a stove below them so you are right it’s a funny angle. Ferro rods have hot sparks but they don’t last long and won’t heat the vapour enough before ignition. Soto Micro torch with the angled head is ideal. Don’t mess about with sticks, bits of paper etc. You can also use the jet to heat the burner which in turn heats the alcohol. Very easy to light alcohol stoves even in extreme low temps and high wind. You might also notice there is well on the top of the Trangia. Dribble a few drops of alcohol over the top and into the well. Lighting then becomes very easy. Remember the Swedish military use them so they are fine in really low temps. Much better than gas below zero. I have lit them at -20 in Sweden no issues.

Trangia’s burn the vapours off the meths, not the meths itself. The colder it is, the less vapours are coming off it making it harder to light. As you learned, warming it up a bit or using a wick can help get it going. Once it’s lit it’s fine. Keep being you, Claire and congrats on the 50k. Xxx

All flammable liquids have what's called a "flashpoint" temperature . If the fuel you are using goes below this temp it will never light. The flashpoint should be on the info sheet of the fuel or on the can. So maybe for winter you should use a different fuel. Hope this helps you "wild one".

[@WildBeare]

Thanks Dug, I had no idea this was a thing! I'm using Biofire, there's nothing about a flashpoint on the label though so I don't know what it is. I think it'll be fine through winter if I can warm it a little & use matches instead of the ferro rod. Cheers & have a lovely day! Claire

@@kirkhamandy also a good idea thanks :D

[@Sokol10]

​@@WildBeare Guessing that Biofire is Ethanol, their flashpoint is 13º (55ºF). Anyway the usual workaround is just what you did, put the alcohol bottle near you body for get the alcohol warmed, and use matches or lighters.

About the "hot hands" packets. They're basically a compost heap. They've got cellulose, powdered iron, activated charcoal as ingredients. Note they come in a sealed plastic envelope. When you open it, you're exposing the contents to oxygen. It's a slow-mo combustion. The iron powder is oxidizing, becoming rust, and this reaction gives off heat. They usually last about 8 hours. The cool thing about these packets is that, if you only need them to be hot for a lesser time - say a couple of hours - you can put them in an airtight baggie to starve them of oxygen and stop the production of heat. Then when you reopen the baggie, they'll heat up again for another 6 hours. I ride a motorcycle, and in the wintertime, a few of these inside my jacket and pants pockets really help to counter the windchill. Peace

Just about to go to bed and what do I see? Claire rocking a onesie in a new video. That lovely, crisp morning view when you opened the tent was perfect wasn’t it? I genuinely don’t mind the cold and love the cooler Autumn and Winter mornings. That air wakes you right up 😂 Your Christmas video sounds like it’s going to be a hoot! Can’t wait 👍🏻

Hi Steve, do you like my bear onesie? 😄🐻 Yehh it really was gorgeous, I love autumn & winter, I do struggle a bit with my fingers when it goes further below zero but apart from that it's a really lovely time of year to be out. I'm loving editing the christmas vid 😄🎅 Have a lovely day :) Claire

@@WildBeare Loved it you bonkers girl! Y’know, I’m not sure anyone other than you could have pulled off a onesie in the woods 😂 As always, your videos make me smile 😊 Have a great weekend!

subbed, winter is my fave time of year, the cold, sky and enviroment, really gives me a feeling of being connected to nature and the universe, that we are just on a ball hurtling through space :)

I went down into the woods 🌲 today - & saw a PURPLE BEAR 🐻 😆😆🧸🧸👍👍

Hi Claire, congratulations on 50k subs. I'm a newbie to the channel and love it. Its so nice to have female wild camping muses 💜I've been looking at the Rab 900 since watching your vids. Im a really cold sleeper and was told I have to knock 10 degrees off any comfort limits on sleeping bags. Whats your experience with that? x

[@WildBeare]

Hi Rebecca, thank you and welcome to my lil channel :) I'm a super cold sleeper too and my experience with the bags I've used would be to knock 15-20 degrees off the comfort rating 😄 This bag keeps me warm in minus temps but I do have to have loads of warm layers on and use handwarmers too if I start getting cold again. For me personally the comfort rating on this one, to wear a normal 1 layer of nightwear and out of any wind is probably between 7-10 degrees. I think in much colder temps this winter I'm gonna use my Snugpak Jungle Blanket over it too, see if that makes much difference. Have a lovely day! 💚 Claire

Rebecca, I'd advise you to go for the Rab 1100 if you're a cold sleeper. Or, like Claire mentioned, fit a 900 bag inside a bivvy bag, or lay a waterproof fleece-lined cover over the bag.

[@rebeccabecca6468]

@@WildBeare thanks Claire. Blimey imagine if we ever wanted to camp when it’s really cold, we’ll need a -30 sleeping bag 🤣🤣 I’ve got a snug pack softie bag which is -15 rated but was cold at 0, so that makes sense. Yeh I was thinking of trying a bivvy over it and loving the idea of the down trousers 😍xx

[@rebeccabecca6468]

@@Globetrotter-1 thank you, I’ll look at those options. Do bivy bags fit most sleeping bags or is there something I need to watch out for?

[@Globetrotter-1]

@@rebeccabecca6468 bivvy bags are made to be fairly universal to fit most sleeping bags. If you're always inside a tent or bivvy or car, then any warm cover layed over the bag will be enough to add extra insulation from the cold, but if you also intend to wild camp without shelter, then a goretex or breathable sleeping bag cover/bivvy bag that the sleeping bag slides inside, will provide the best protection from the elements.
