Is wild CAMPING really that DANGEROUS?

The most common question I get asked is aren't you scared? So I thought I'd do some research on whether wild camping is dangerous and how to stay safe.
In this video I share what I think are the top 10 dangers of wild camping and ways you can reduce your risks.
Let me know what you think in the comments!

[@nathanw851]

Somebody nearly killed me on Bow Fell about 20 years ago. I was solo wild camping, and about 6 in the morning a chap came walking past my camp. I bid him good morning and asked what brought him up in the fells so early. He gave me a look I'll never forget, then said... "I'm searching for butterflies that only live at a specific altitude." The chills immediately ran down my spine. I was about to be brutally bored to death.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Haha I was poised for a true horror story then, you got me 🤣

[@Roadrunnderjarhead]

He was telling you the truth.

[@musicloverstl]

😂

[@nathanw851]

@@Wild.cat.adventures It was a true story, but for him boring me. I ended up having a really pleasant chat with him about rare butterflies. hehe. A real horror story: Camping high up in the fells again. About 2300 there was a bright flash across the tent. A head torch, I thought, so started to open the tent to see who it was. Before I got to the zip, the rumble of thunder entered the scene. Heck, I'm pretty much the highest thing around in a lightning storm. That was kinda scary.

The fear of wild camping mainly exists in your head. Overcome that fear and you open up a whole world of camping possibilities beyond the official and expensive campsites. I've been cycle touring and wild camping for 12 years to date and have never had a problem. I've just returned from a two week tour (in the UK). The secret to stealthy and safe wild camping is to never camp in or near urban areas. I always aim to camp as far away from civilization as possible. Pitch late and strike camp early and leave no trace that you were there. If there's any litter, where I wild camp, I always collect it and dispose of it in the next litter bin I find. That way, I leave the place cleaner than I found it. I've camped in forests and woodland, on rail trails, canal towpaths, on highway roundabouts, under a bridge, in a bird hide, in picnic areas, on cliff tops overlooking the sea. I've never not found anywhere to wild camp. Give it a go.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Yep I'm exactly of the same mindset, well said 👍

[@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure]

When asked this question, I always state that real danger for men and women is on a weekend night in City centre at kicking out times from pubs and nightclubs. I managed and did Doors for nearly forty years in UK and abroad. Nothing compares to that, in violence or possible murder situations. Once you leave the roads and go high, wild camping, there is no one to harm you. In fact most horrible people or if you will thugs are actually scared of open spaces, and the dark. For the most part those that you cross paths with in the highlands have a love of nature, the peace and harmony it brings to the soul. The last thing on their mind would be to harm a fellow fell runner, hiker or wild camper. We are all about helping each other. Great video and keep on making more. Thankyou for sharing.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Completely agree! I often tell people you're more at risk crossing the road than going wild camping lol!

[@Fellwander]

I so much agree with Number 1 - driving is by far the most dangerous thing most of us do. As someone who has done quite a lot of camping and (especially) bothying in the remote Scottish Highlands, I’m personally aware of at least 3 people who were found dead in bothies over the last 15 years. The common denominator was their becoming incapacitated due to either an accident or ill with something like heart problems, a very long distance from anywhere, in an infrequently visited location with no phone signal (almost the norm) and running out of food and/or going down with hypothermia. - I’d never go up there with reliance on phone mapping - paper O.S. maps all the way - drop it on a rock or in water, just pick it up and it’ll never break down run out of charge. I have a horror of being in the middle of a wilderness, which it literally is - somewhere like Faindouran in the Cairngorms - with no map because a device has failed.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Oooph that's scary! People being found dead in bothies?! I've never heard of this but can well imagine. Yep, when out in the proper wilderness more than one means of navigation is essential! Those Garmin type sat navs/emergency call devices would solve either those situations - didn't think to mention them!

[@pdyt2009]

I doubt anyone was found dead for lack of food. Water maybe, but not food. It takes weeks, sometimes longer, for someone to die from lack of food. Lack of water can kill you in a matter of days.

[@ChrisWoutdoors]

Well put together video Cat, thank you enjoyed this one... My first few solos I didn't get much sleep as you hear every noise and living in London the countryside was a bit too quiet... ATB Chris.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Yeah I can understand that, I find London too claustrophobic, as it's a never ending sprawl of a city, so I can understand being from London how quiet and potentially scary the outdoors is when you're not used it. Thanks for watching 👍

[@operator001]

I wild camp all the time here in the US. Dangers in my area are bears, bob cats, cougars, wolves, moose, people. Needless to say, nothing to be scared of if you know what to do. We typically carry a firearm for protection and other forms of non lethal, like bear spray.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

I can see why firearms are good for protection against such animals, we don't have them (predators or guns) in this country tho (probably a good thing!)

[@adamwalker2493]

Hello you, fantastic video as always hun. I've done six wild camps this year and the only thing I've been worried about is the people camping near me, worrying about what they might do in the night ie if they have been heavily drinking or drug taking etc other than that yes you hear lots of wonderful weird noises , but like you know that's nature we don't get to experience in is the concrete jungle we live in. I now find it very relaxing hearing the nature and sleep like a log. Best medication in the world for me is being getting out there and loving the land we have right in front of our eyes xxx

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Yeah I was camping last night and a family camped about 100 yards away which was annoying enough but they also had a fire and I had to bite my lip not to be a Karen, but I was worried the fire would get out of control so I know what you mean! And yes the sounds of nature are the most relaxing!

[@littlegrandadoutdoors]

I wonder how much alcohol has to do with all the death and injuries???... fires, falls , losing your way , using sharp tools, cattle, boiling water the list goes on.. we do things whilst typsy to drunk that we would never consider doing at home.. " here drink this bottle of wine , then take this axe to that log "... here drink these strong beers , now hold this bag and fill it with this boiling water.. that's right do it over your legs and crotch. Drink this until you stagger , now go and stand on that cliff edge... drink till you pass out then get out the tent in your socks and base layers because you need to have a massive wee,,, but you can't find your way back to the tent because of the -12 blizzard... just wondering??.. Take care out there. .... edit , wait a moment!! Why is slugs and coffee not on the list ???. 😎😎

Haha damn I forgot the slugs! And yes fair pijnt about the alcohol lol! Here drink this whiskey, use an axe, start a fire, use a knife, cook a steak etc 🤣

[@rialobran]

I can only remember 2 deaths from trees in my time serving and neither were campers, nor any of the serious injuries I attended. Wildfires were a pain and I do remember going to 40 in just one month. I've often wondered if lives are lost when resources were out in the hills... 99 in one hundred people are just out for a good time, the other 1 has had his good time and is returning from burying the body. I couldn't give you figures but I know a fair number of campers are rescued from Dartmoor every year with hypothermia, to my knowledge no deaths. Never get between a mother and calf. Really glad you mentioned CO, I've warned of it before with hot tents becoming more popular. Can't say I'd argue with any of your 'dangers' nor your grading of the risk from any of them.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

The risk is lower in hot tents although not zero. Need to ensure flue/spark arrestor is clear and there is adequate ventilation into the tent. Any smoke and Co should go up the chimney. Should being the operative word! I will be looking into an alarm just to put my mind at ease as just got a new stove and hot tent 😁

[@Chilternwildcamper]

Great vid i started solo last year and was so scared in case a creep turned up, but after afew goes ive overcome that psychological fear and as the night is filled with strange sounds, i think, oh thats a deer or an owl!

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Glad you pushed past that fear, the benefits most definitely outweigh the risks! Funny isn't it how it's only the past couple hundred years or so we've begone so disconnected from nature we see it as a risk, but we've spent 1000s of years living in nature!

[@ShinyStickEC]

Interesting about the cows I wouldn't have thought about them as being a danger.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Yh I didn't take that risk seriously but they can kill people and one of my friends has seen someone trampled which is scary!

[@techtinkerin]

Number one cause, NOT living! Joking aside, slipping and falling or becoming injured so you cant walk is a real problem. A satellite phone would work anywhere on earths surface. Not cheap but 100 percent guaranteed to alert someone assuming your actually alive to use it. Great video, well thought through. Subbed! 👍😎

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Thank you appreciate the sub! I'd still say you're more likely to have a fatal car accident than a fatal fall but maybe that's just my driving 😬🤣

[@markkent294]

That's a great video with lots of good advice, thank you. I think half the time, in the UK at least, our minds can play tricks on us. Apart from the cows, there’s not much dangerous wildlife around, but when you're 'in the middle of nowhere' the senses seem to be heightened, and any sound suddenly becomes an approaching 'mad axe murderer'......I was wild camping in the Brecon Beacons on one occasion, at a location that was a good hour’s walk from the nearest road. It was the middle of the night and I suddenly became aware of a head torch shining into the tent, accompanied by voices. My heart raced, but it was just two people still out trekking, chatting! I think there’s also a sense of vulnerability when you're zipped up in a tent, because you can't get out of it very quickly. It’s all good fun though! Oh, I forgot to mention the squirrels!!!! No-one ever mentions the squirrels! ;-)

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Yh and sounds travel a lot in the countryside, you can hear someone talking half a mile away. The squirrels lol?! They might by y arms off tbf 🤣

[@stevenwalker7976]

Lovely video as always. I have talked to people on the fells that have said they are much safer on the fells than they on the streets of their towns and cities at night. It is the car parking I get concerned about as to whether it will still be there in the morning when I get back

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Yh I worry about the car too sometimes but even then it's probably still safer in the countryside than parking it in the city

These incidents included skin ailments, such as rashes or hives, and neurological symptoms, such as numbness and headaches.

Interesting video. I’ve encountered myself or know of others who’ve encountered most of the top 5 or 6 hazards. In 35 years of hill walking I’ve only been bitten by a tick once, in Scotland - and it gave me Lyme’s disease according to the hospital. A friend of mine was badly trampled by a cow in the Yorkshire Dales only a few weeks ago (she had 2 dogs and didn’t let them go). BTW my name is Mike I met you briefly today!

[@mikebelk5455]

@@Wild.cat.adventuresit was a bit of a strange experience, found the tick in my leg at the end of the day and after removing it I didn’t think too much about it until two weeks later when I got a sort of rash like a cricket ball (size shape and colour). It was during Covid and I couldn’t get an appointment with my GP so I rolled up to A&E at Huddersfield infirmary. They put me on strong antibiotics for three weeks and told me to come back for a blood test in 6 weeks (apparently it takes at least 4 weeks for the disease to manifest itself). The test results concluded I’d had Lymes, so I asked what I should do and they replied don’t do anything unless you get any symptoms! I haven’t had any yet. I’m hoping my body has built up some antibodies making me more resistant to the disease. I now spray my trouser bottoms with Lifesystems Permethrin spray when I go to Scotland outside winter (£10 a bottle lasts me a couple of years) and I’ve not been bitten since

[@musicloverstl]

A great list with a few things I wouldnt have thought of. Definately over here in Missouri, some of the more dangerous things are Venomous snakes, bears, wild big cats and coyotes. And lack of common sense. So many injuries and deaths here from falling and jumping off cliffs into rivers and creeks and either breaking bones or drownings.. Alot of those injuries involve alcohol or other "things". Overall, it is a very safe activity if you keep your wits about you. Traffic to and from is probably our number 1 death also. Thanks for another great video!

People in general are way scarier than forested wilderness to me. It doesn't lie, it isn't manipulative, and it doesn't have any expectations or qualifications, other than perhaps competence, which is probably a good thing anyway. That being said, it's unlikely that I would be targeted by anyone to be taken advantage of or similar, since I'm an eccentric, powerful, savage brute. And no worries, I'm certainly not out looking for anyone else either unless they need emergency help or that sort of thing. Cheers.

Agreed although one of the best things about wild camping is it's unlikely you'll come across any humans if u go to the really wild areas and even less likely they'll be bad humans. 👍

Hello Cat... We all have to look after ourselves no matter what we do. I never take chances in what i might call dangerous activity. Even at work there are elements of danger. If i had known at the time i would never have had the accident at work. Wild camping is always risky. Fires close is a no no for me and i always make sure any fires has a surround of stones or rocks and make sure fires are always on soil before lighting. Ticks are a hazard that is why i make sure my leggings or walking trousers are tucked inside my socks or an elastic band is around the bottom of loose clothing. I always make sure i am warm and carry extra clothing inside a plastic bag that water cannot get into. Regards Mick,,,,,,, Chef-on-the-wild-side ,,, X

@@leemuir2514 was literally heading there this weekend, changed plan tho last minute. I wonder why he stayed there, the track is fairly easy back down?
