Sleeping in a Fallen Tree ❄️🌳 Frosty Sub-Zero Wild Camping with Small Tarp

[@WildBeare]

Hello Wild Ones 🥰 Loved this camp, hope you enjoyed this lil vid :) Muntjac Deer breed year-round and can conceive just days after giving birth - the female on the trail cam looks a bit chonk, do you think she might be expecting a baby deer soon? 🦌

[@jimb3685]

Great setup!

[@WildBeare]

@@jimb3685 thanks Jim :)

[@tjcarr70]

Came across a Chinese water deer on a walk in Norfolk recently, head stuck in a wire fence. Took a while to free it, dancing around those teeth. Got there in he nd, no thanks or anything, just ran off 🙂

[@steveblog1]

Yeah she looked well heavy didn’t she? Not an expert by any means, but looked like a pregnancy rather than just being chunky 😂

[@russelljackman1413]

That is just what I was thinking! She was quite plump. Very cool! Thank you, Claire!

[@alunjones2550]

I quite often take a tennis ball with me that I've drilled a 1" hole in. I can then find a long enough branch for a tarp support. I stick the tennis ball on the end that props up the tarp so it doesn't rip.

[@wastelandwarrior9738]

Great idea

[@scojo6377]

Great tip, I hope I remember that one. One I saw a guy do was stuff an empty cloth bag with debris for a pillow. I might start taking a pillow case with me for this purpose.

[@desmo5514]

Thats something Claire needed when she was in the stone hut to hold up centre of the tarp on 2nd attempt on Hurricane hill. I think I suggested 2 hiking poles tied together ,👍

[@HikerBikerMoter]

Guys, cut off the end of an empty coke/soda bottle and putvend of pole in that. Also cut off the opposite (with the screw cap on it). Put your tent fabric between the cap and the mouth and screw if in. Its equivalent of a grommet. Middle of bottle? Turn it into string or rope by cutting it at one end (about 2-3mm width plasti strip) then keep cutting roubd and round and round until the whole piece is one long strip Ü

There's a lot of pleasure in watching someone who is at peace with the world, at least for a few hours, and totally in-tune with their surroundings. Thanks for sharing.

[@GpoppaJohn]

Loved that one Claire, made a nice change. Saturday just gone, Gramp’s was looking after 2 of his grandsons 10 & 7 when they came in from the back garden and asked if they could build a den? Thinking of your videos and, ‘What would WildBeare say?’ Both boys were taken aback when I said “Yes”. Without further ado off they went upstairs bringing the materials they needed down. I hadn’t seen the den or checked what they’d brought down and in walked Mum &Nan. When querying where the two boys were, I told them about the den. “No, No, No” said my daughter and out she dashed to the two boys sitting under the trampoline on her beanbags, with quilts, throws and towels adorning the circumference of the trampoline. The two women were less than impressed; however, once I pointed out their initiative and the fact that the boys were having loads of fun both women calmed down. Later on, my daughter told me it was their first day in months that they hadn’t played on iPads and the XBox and in fact were both sound asleep 😊 So thank you Claire, without your videos and enthusiasm I’d have probably said No. Guess who’s got the boys this weekend 😊👍

[@roberthardy2013]

We made some Damson Gin years ago then forgot about it for a long time. I just used the last bit to soak some raisins in for cake making - delicious ! You can save the used fruit and cut it into little chunks for grownup ice cream.

[@inmyopinion6836]

Bravo! ... Well said ! ! ! !

[@dantoth1386]

I don’t usually comment on videos but yours was well done without a lot of “ look at me and what I’m done”. I’ve spent some awful nights in the bush all over Canada and I can look back on them with a degree of fondness in the lessons learned. At my age now I enjoy my warm bed beside a wife I truly love,but I do venture out a few nights a year just to keep these bones in tune. Nothing like sleeping outside in a Canadian winter at -50c waking up to accumulated frost falling on your face from the frost buildup from your breath on your sleeping bag.

[@peterfrazer1943]

Glad to see you putting as much as you could, back to how you found it. I was a Royal Marine in my younger days and our mantra was always to put things back as they were, or cleaner than they were. Excellent video.

What a brilliant idea to camp in between the fallen trees. Looked a great peaceful place to camp 😁

[@WildBeare]

That you I loved it, really cosy ☺

[@geo.miller7808]

(08/20/22) Midge, that looked like a single tree that branched into two trunks at the bottom, but what luck they both fell at the same time. ‘WildBeare’ certainly made good use of it and imagine how she exercised for thought to bring both a large tarp and ground tarp, and a reflecting tarp to radiate body heat back to her. Really glad she also had a sleeping bag that had insert room for a blow up mattress and was low temperature rated. Her stove is like one I used back 2016 when I was TRYING to get back into camping again, but as it turned out, I got too old (76) to solo camp anymore, had issues, but did manage 4 days.

[@oblivionguard7950]

[@australianwoman9696]

@@WildBeare Why wouldn't you just build up the fire so you'll stay warm all night long? Using the V method that allows logs to fall into the fire as they burn out? If it's because your logs may catch fire or being overcome by smoke I wouldn't be concerned in the open.

[@jeffburnham6611]

I was the Camping Chairman of our local Troop and taught Pioneering and Wilderness Survival Merit Badges. Most of the gear Claire carries with her would not be permitted for the boys trying for the badge. Plus, the requirements are more than an overnighter. I would suggest looking online at what other Boy Scouts and Troops have done to get ideas for passing the requirements, and not this video. In fact, I would challenge Claire to undertake a 3-day trip ( Wilderness Merit Badge style) with only that gear Boy Scouts would take into the woods for this Merit Badge.

Much plans ahead. I have missed my usual excursion into one of Canada's more visited parks Algonquin; with the lads. Lots of wildlife such as bears, wolves, moose, owls, loons, bats etc. Always a magical time. Where the troubles of the city are traded in for the wonderment and peace of natures finest scenery and photo opportunities. The stars at night are magic. The sound of the Lake Loons singing out to each other. The Moose crossing the lakes. The howl of Wolves in the distance are wondrous. Our motto is simply" Remember and respect the fact that we are guests of the house (park). Be well my dear, and stay healthy and thirsty for adventure.
