The person that hasn't made a mistake hasn't done anything. Your sweet innocence makes me smile. It's a great gift to have Claire. ATB. Michael😄👍

[@LaughingGravy.01]

Real nice video. Brilliantly honest and light hearted camping trip. Your enthusiasm and personality really shine. Thanks!

[@spongebobgrumpypants6862]

You are such a pleasant young lady with excellent presenting skills, who makes camping as much fun, adventurous and pleasurable as it's meant to be. I am a "wannabe" camper but unfortunately my home circumstances make it extremely difficult for me. Watching people like you, Paul Messner, Patrick Dickinson and a good few others, I have learnt so much that hopefully one day, if I ever get the opportunity, I will have the confidence to go and make an adventure of my own.

[@williamclark9524]

Reasonably new here but really enjoy watching the content you're putting out. And a big well done for Tarp night out, something I want to do but only used tents so far myself. Keep up the great postings and always welcome to arrange a hike and camp if ever you are up for some company along the way...

[@KenFernbach]

LMNT SALTED CARAMEL, may be a nice mix of flavors to go with the morning breakfast- I mix mine with a cup of Jo , (a bit on the weak side ) which is fine with the vanilla protein powder and maple syrup- a teaspoon, and never gets old ( I have this every morning). This was another nice and cozy one after you got the slippery stuff sorted out- ha ! Thanks Claire ❤☮️

[@chrisuk1000]

Great views off the hill there. Slept under a tarp for years, best way if the weathers reasonable

[@kayasper6081]

That is so cosy, in a good warm sleeping bag in nature. It doesn´t get any better than that!

[@billlyell8322]

Great video only thing missing is a puppy companion, lol. But I do have a couple suggestions... 1. A camo tarp to break up outline and make it harder to spot you. 2. Set up tarp perpendicular to slope instead of parallel to it. It won't stop sliding but will lessen it. 3. Use a low tarp tent configuration instead of the plow point. Gives more location options and is more stealthy. Long flat surfaces are much easier to spot than shorter more curved shapes are. 4. Setup up between trees/shurbs for better stealth instead of in open sight. Let the terrain help hide you. Congrats your area has gorgeous view. Mine is much flatter but is very forested with many kinds flora. Lol I can't see as far as yours but there no end of things to look at up close.

[@joncawte6150]

If you always take your walking poles with you when you tarp, you will always have poles to prop your tarp up with. You can actually buy extending poles from some of the military gear websites, grey are squaddie proof, so are simple to use, sturdy and not too heavy.

[@AggyGoesOutdoors]

You must've got unlucky with your choice of stick, never managed to tear any of my cheap wish tarps doing exactly the same. What counts is you repaired it there and then and soldiered on 👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼 wonderful video claire

[@jamesgeorge1709]

You are one hardy girl to camp in those temperatures, The only times that I camped in those temps I was elk hunting in Ouray Co lorado, wish you could come to Colorado you would love the scenery. One year there was 3 of us slleping in a medium sized tent and we all woke up with frost in our sleeping bags of course that was at least 40 years ago and we were tougher then. most of the time we would go in the summer. I never camp in campground my late wife and I were like you doing the Primative camping. Sometimes we would camp at 11000 Feet or right at timber line. We have places that are near 13,000 ft.

[@DadDoesOutdoors]

Nice little video. I like that you didn’t edit out your mistakes - I think that helps others learn better than showing perfection from start to finish. I now know that I will slide off my new foil mat if I don’t find a completely flat spot! I cringed just before you put the stick through to tarp. Crips bomb made me laugh. Been putting off buying a decent inflatable mattress and proper sleeping bag. Looks like you went for the Rab ascent 900? Might just get on and make the investment. I feel the same about hills and living in the south but might have a bash on the North or South Downs soon.

I'm just starting out as a wild camper but have a real phobia about Ticks, in your experience how do you negate this fear please? I have a Tick removal accessory in my pack but I'd rather not suffer a Tick attack in the first place! Or is it an accepted pitfall of camping/hiking and do I need to just get over it?

[@MCJimboy10]

Hi there. I'm just a total stranger on the internet but I urge you to look into treating cancer with cannabis oil, it has been proven to cure cancers (of course not a 100% success rate) but it greatly increased my Dads lifespan, he was too lazy with it unfortunately, such as drinking red wine (high in sugar and cancer feeds on sugar). Try learn everything you can about it, it's more than worth it. What have you got to lose?!

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

G’day Darwin, I know this bad chemo days all too well. I came across Joe Robinet a few years ago during a bad round of chemo that was following a round of radiation. Bushcraft and outdoor videos helped get me through those days. And now my brain tumor is growing again, so outdoor adventures mean even more once again. Best wishes to you.

[@stuarthall3874]

[@rob9709]

Not talking about 'how to save 10 grams', not talking about what's the best gear... etc... what a relief. Big thumbs up!

[@lucideuphoria7092]

ikr. The same issue in cycling. People incessantly talking about saving 10g per brake rotor, 30g per tyre and 100g per tent while being 15kg-20kg overweight. I do remote 3 day camps regularly on an electric mountain bike, and take a tent, ground sheet, tarp and rope for extra coverage, inflatable bedroll, sleeping bag, fold up chair, fold up table, cooking set, fishing rod and tackle kit, 60k mAh worth of power banks, a tablet and gopro, a UE Boom, and decent repair kit. All my mates have these carbon fiber bikes with paper thin tyres, tents made of fly screen, take nothing with them, constantly complain about comfort and punctures yet still have the nerve to constantly talk about the few hundred grams i could have saved in gear, and how all the dead weight i bring with me is a burden while they fix their bike and tent with the tools i brought for the second time that day, using my table/stove to cook the food that i gave them, charging their phone on the power bank i provide and listening to music on my boom while we wait. All while they talk about how "they don't need any of the rubbish i bring, its way to hard on their body and takes away from the experience", and how much better the experience would have been if we spent another $300 on a tent that weighs 50g less, and had lighter tyres.

[@sinkhole777]

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

@@lucideuphoria7092 Delusion, unfortunately, is part of the human condition and some people revel in it. Your mates sound like idiots who successfully swallow their own bullshit, at their own expense. Group-think I'm afraid. What's worse is them availing of your conveniences while ironically entertaining their own confirmation biases. You just described most of the equipment I take on my own ebike camping/fishing trips and they all have their uses. Let those idiots fork out extra for a reduced experience and don't compensate them for their failures. Enjoy what you're doing. From a Dublin hiker👍.

[@Richardvalley1980]

So refreshing to see a KZbinr who doesn't take themselves too seriously and so obviously enjoys what they're doing. We've all had many fails before and it's all part of the fun and learning experience. One of mine was standing on a bed at home to reach the top of a wardrobe where my rucksack is stored. The wooden slats on the bed gave way and instead of spending a night in the Lake District under the stars, I spent a night in A&E with a broken toe! Looking forward to viewing many more of your future adventures!

Hi from Germany! For stealth camping l can recomend a tarp in camoflage. Like your british army BASHA. It is very durable (even as a stetcher for emergencys, or also as a hammock type thing for fun) and comes in three different versions of camo - DPM, MTP and Desert DPM. These tarps aren´t expensive and worth it. l like your videos, watched nearly all so far, and l am subscribed for more! Viele Grüße Torsten

Great video Claire. What I especially like about you is you include footage of things when they aren't going right. It makes it more real that camping isn't always perfect on the first attempt. Keep it up and thanks for posting.😊

Claire, you have the best attitude. I believe the difference between disaster and adventure is attitude, and you rip your tarp, slip down the hill, and confront a twilight move with a laugh and a smile and genuine delight. So many could learn much from your attitude. I have to say I look forward to each of your videos, knowing they will be buoyant with positivity and filled with incredible natural beauty keenly observed through your lens. Thank you, as always, for bringing us along.
