Halloween Wild Camping In The Woods! Solo Female | New Drone!

No ghosts or witches (apart from myself of course, muhahaha) and a touch of Halloween paranoia, but I found the most gorgeous little place, with a water source! And got try out my new Mavic Mini drone (which I have wrecked already haha, bad driver). This was also my first time using my new Leviathan 900 four season sleeping bag, ​there's a separate video for the Leviathan thoughts here: • First Time Using My Le...

My daughter loves watching your channel, and I’m glad to let her because you keep your channel positive and family friendly.

[@jonorowe]

Hey! Started watching your videos a few weeks ago and am now determined to get out and do my first camp by the end of this year. Life goals! You make very informative and entertaining videos, inspiring some may say!!!

Aw thank you Robin! :D have a great eve!

[@chaswarren7239]

Love your videos Claire, so glad you took the brave step of posting. Great story telling, good music, love your positivity, sense of adventure, honesty & slightly zany humour. Great work, keep it up.

[@edwardfrench9925]

It’s awesome to see this series of micro adventures. To anyone concerned about safety, go out and try it. The vast majority of society are good people but when I’m out doing this sort of thing, perversely the dark now gives me comfort. Personally I never use white light, if you have to use a torch put on a red filter, avoid naked flames after dark or camp well off the beaten track. Life becomes so simple when out on the trail. Mileage, water and food. Just a simple pair of socks to pit on for sleep...it’s fantastic. Once home, the ability to turn on a tap, use lights, drive in a car are all appreciated more. These videos are an inspiration and I really hope many more feel Motivated to follow and even try the solo route.

[@ukinfamous]

No need to be worried about putting out content, you're a natural, came up on my recommended... subbed :)

[@WildBeare]

Aw thank you Jimmy! :D

[@ethanoneal6287]

The mushroom circle was very cool!

[@footballwarmups1to1]

I think we all agree, people should be outdoors with nauture more and more, get away from the systems and really enjoy being outside.... I love watching videos like this, I use to go camping and walking as a kid and more walking in the lake district as an adult. Being outside is when I most relaxed and happy and can feel my mind emptying... great videos Claire...

[@randykarraker1210]

You're doing wonderfully! Thanks for being so brave!

[@WildBeare]

Thank you Randy :D

[@artofsarahjane]

I started crying while watching this... I After leaving an abusive relationship and finally feeling comfortable on my own, I want to go solo camping...and youre inspiring me. How do I find a good location near me?

[@MrMigido]

Google earth. Buy a local survey map. Plan, scheme and gather your equipment. Practise in yourback yard etc. Good luck, you will love it. ATB

[@bwxbwx6453]

I often just pick a random place on the map and then wing it obviously keep track of where u r going lol

[@theoaksmeister]

You are inspiring. Your adventures are inspiring and your film making and photography are on point! Thank you. Love watching your adventures 😊😂

[@dangerpudge1922]

I suppose I found you roughly a year ago, and so most of the videos I've seen have been quite a bit further on than this one. It's kind of amazing to see your evolution, and more than a little endearing to hear you worry a bit about putting yourself on the internet. I'm so glad you did. You've been a wonderful set of mini adventures for me, and it's been more helpful and given me more beautiful moments since I found you than I have any right to. Thanks again. You should be well proud of yourself.

Got to be my best channel on KZbin, you are one brave girl, it’s the noises that freak me out at night times.

[@alessioyautja612]

Lee sent me, he'd kick my ass if I didn't say go for it girl! Don't let the past camps put you off and don't worry about filming. Just remember to leave a game plan with loved ones before each trip so people know to check on you if you're stuck up the creek without a paddle! Then have fun and enjoy, bring the dog and your boy along as well, great activity to share and we all love seeing you together

[@WildBeare]

Thank you! :D Yeh I always have someone knowing where I am. Ahh I miss BobDog, don't get to see him any more unfortunately 😭 he belongs to my ex, you know how it goes! Lil man I'll take out when he's a bit bigger :D have a great eve you guys! Claire

[@TheVrakis]

Very cool and big fairy circle. They are created by an initial establishment of the fungus growing outwards in a circle when the fungus mycelium ("roots") extend from the initial spot (the center) outwards. I have never seen such a big and obvious fairy circle in real life - very impressive and nice finding.

[@timwhitemedic]

I enjoy your channel very much. You've inspired me quite literally. I've now gone out on 2 different adventures and I've learned a great deal each time. Thank you again for your videos. Your camping friend from the US....Tim

Great video!! Thank you so much! This helped cheer us up.. New Sub!! Halloween is the day my Dad died (under care of Hospice, thankfully) of Prostate Cancer.. ..unfortunately the neighborhood (GlenAfton, Trenton, NJ a nice riverside community) was very cruel to us! Despite the 'Black Shawl' hanging on our door light.. It still bugs the hell out of me that people would 'Egg'/ litter, smash our pumpkin/ holiday decorations our home while we grieved inside... So sad!

That fairy ring was incredible. I think the mushrooms have some kind of symbiosis with the other plants, sharing nutrients etc. I've never seen a fairy ring that big before.

[@WildBeare]

Me neither! Actually it's the first I've ever seen, crazy it was!

[@elhoncho7220]

That looked like it was probably a ring of Trooping Funnel from what I could make out on the video. I saw lots of these last month in similar woodland here in the middle of the UK. Never saw such a large and complete ring though, lovely to see
