Phoebe Smith: Becoming the Wild One

Join Phoebe in Britain's South Downs as she explains her journey from a 'normal' woman (who liked to sleep in a real bed with a mattress and duvet) to an extreme sleeping, wild camping adventurer. Hear about how she balances her 9-to-5 stressful, full-time job with her 5-to-9 adventure seeking, scouring the UK for the ultimate place to pitch her tent or bivvy.

Just found your channel I’ve just come back from a wild camp in wales only been doing it for a year but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done

Beautiful, Phoebe! I also have a 9-5 that can be stressful, but I greatly enjoy outdoor time. It allows me to reset myself and recharge. Thank you for this! Just subscribed :)

Backpacks and Bruises thankyou! I have so many more - just trying to find time to edit! Glad you like what you've seen so far :0)

The ultimate place? I suspect there is no comparison between any of the sites discovered. No doubt there was magic in all of them. That's the beauty of getting out....no matter the place you know you're doing the right thing. Exploring - relinquishing - ascending. Cool video and lots of good points. Mark

I think we can all relate to and take something from this and I agree with you on the issue of never having enough time, as I believe we all too often place priorities in the wrong order. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Olly Outdoors thank you for watching Olly - glad it resonated with you too 😊

Being in the mountains heals my mind,, I feel more at home in the middle of nowhere on a wild camp than in my own home town, its good to have a balance in life with work/pleasure ,but not to much work LOL. regards from Cumbria Stephan.

Yorkie wild camper thanks Yorkie! Agree wholeheartedly. Steve McQueen said: "I'd rather meet up in the middle of nowhere than anywhere else on earth..." I'm with him!

Well done Phoebe I take my hat off to you, not only are your films and interviews good so are the books. I don't normally read female writers (sexist I know), as they tend to lean to the more romantic side of things, but not you, I've read all of your books so far. Like I say I take my hat off to you. ⛺️

LiveSimplyFilms Mountain Mike thank you so much Mike! Yep my love and passion is all for the mountains and wild (and not so wild) places I sleep in!

[@Bevfitness]

Nice intro to the reason behind it all.atb Rob

[@assacoon]

Big fan of you. I hope you find enough time to do more!

[@WanderWomanTV]

NickOnDartmoor thank you so much Nick! That's the plan... watch this space 😊

[@AndyOutdoors]

Nicely done! Love the style of this one. A kelly kettle is a bit heavy for me mind you, though for marshmallows it might be worth it!

[@WanderWomanTV]

Andy Outdoors thankyou Andy! And defo worth it for the marshmallows alone...!

[@lizhawkins4240]

Has anyone got any idea what she's using for a campfire here? I'd really like to get one.

[@WanderWomanTV]

Liz Hawkins sure thing it’s a Kelly Kettle and ideal as runs on any fuel - which can be foraged ie wood, dry dung etc and doesn’t scorch the ground 😊

[@lizhawkins4240]

@@WanderWomanTV Amazing! Thank you 😘
