WE SLEPT INSIDE AN OLD HOLLOW TREE | the most magical wild camping adventure of my life

Earlier this month we slept inside of a beautiful, old, hollow ash tree and it was one of the most special and mystical nights of my life. I am beyond excited to be able to share our adventure with you today! Enjoy.
The music we were listening to inside of the tree was the album 'Songs' by Adrianne Lenker.

What a wonderful experience for one person to have but to have someone share that experience with you is special. I feel you were respectful and caring to the tree and the elves fairy's and the little people who possibly moved out for the night to allow you to sleep soundly may have whispered sweet dreams and stood guard to protect you both through the night. I know they are only supposed to be in Ireland but I am sure there are international colonies.

aahhhh nice comment

[@sofi-onahamer8609]

How utterly amazing to find a hollow in a tree big enough for both of you to sleep within. What a magical experience to hold dear like a precious jewel within a chest of memories to always cherish.

[@NickiPositano]

What an amazing thing to do! I recently read a book about someone finding a tree like this, but it was a time travel portal and whisked her back to Mediaeval times!

[@4Score747]

Sounds amazing!

What book was it? :D

[@charlietroy9757]

Which book is it?

[@littlecrookedhouse]

Love this video! This is my fantasy ever since reading the book "My Side of the Mountain" as a child. The art of spending time in nature, observing, is often overlooked in our busy structure-centered life in these times.

[@seriouslycurious3650]

I read this as an 8 year old and also dreamed of living inside a tree and with forest animals. The book has stayed in my imagination for 42 years.

[@garyives1218]

Glad you guys could enjoy that. Thanks for sharing!

[@EarthMan1932]

Your voice is a treat.

[@FISH-OHOLIC]

Not many people can they have spent a night inside a tree, I enjoyed that. 🙌

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

I have always thought about doing that since I was a kid. I'm not a kid anymore and I will never do that it, but this was wonderful. I just discovered this cha nnel this evening and I'm hooked. I expect sleeping a very old tree would churn out dreams.

[@davejones3605]

I did, the one I wanted to do it in was booked though, so I had to go to another branch.

[@FISH-OHOLIC]

[@mariannacoleman3432]

Wow! You really take us on some amazing adventures. I'm loving every minute. Thank you.

[@sarahp1383]

What a wonderful adventure.. Thank you so much for sharing this mystical experience, being inside another living being, often the haunt of fox and badger. Blessed are those who can attempt something as unique as this , at least once in one's lifetime.

[@lucygray6162]

Let's hope the fox or badger or other small creatures return to this unique shelter despite the smell of human intrusion. It's a perfect nursery for spring babies.

[@michelleosborne2788]

Wow, what peace, one with the universe.

[@Toxacpor]

Simply stay blessed!!🙌

Watching your video is like reading out of a page from Enid Blyton's story😃

Hey!!!

Wiw! Lovely place.

[@christinegerard4974]

Really ultra magic !

[@gwendolynfish2102]

Absolutely magical! I could see it, smell it, feel and see it through your eyes! Thank you!

[@mstrdiver]

Your dream of the fox and badger visiting you was more than just a dream. It was them visiting you in spirit form and we are more susceptible to such visits in a dream state as our conscious mind is not actively putting up barriers to the possibilities. You were truly blessed by their reaching out to you because you were at their level, both physically and metaphysically. It doesn't happen very often.

[@rajramnarine123]

What an incredible and magical video! If the video is such, I could only imagine the actual experience! Thank you for sharing.

[@RosinaEspig]

This was real cool 😳❤️

It's such a surprise! We once had six people inside singing.

Seems a bit scary but nice adventure :).

[@spinny2010]

Nice. Looks like the South Downs behind Brighton (?).

[@anjaliparanjape9582]

Unbelievable Tree..! What can a surprise be ? Nothing big then this 👍

[@yourpersonaldatadealer2239]

Only just found your channel and we love your content

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Very interesting

[@archangel5627]

That is just too cool. I always wanted to find a huge hollowed out tree to make a cozy shelter out of but I’ve never been able to find one large enough to get comfortable. It looks massive inside that tree. I’m a bit jealous so I’m going to have to live vicariously through you. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience! Cheers!

[@darleneferree5829]

wow! this video got my attention at 1:30 in the morning...a whole new meaning to "ur invited 2 a sleepover"!

[@mayhmmaydn]

What a special experience. In suprised there were no sheep. Seemed there would be sounds of animals.

[@Ladythyme]

I guess you should be glad the Faeries did take you

[@davejones3605]

The Hollow Tree. How oft a Summer hath started me To seek for shelter in an hollow tree Old huge ash-dotterel wasted to a shell Whose vigorous head still grew and flourished well Where ten might sit upon a battered floor And still look round discovering room for more And he who chose a hermit life to share Might have a door and make a cabin there They seem so like a house that our desires Would call them so, and make our gypsy fires And eat field dinners of the juicy peas Till we were wet and drabbled to the knees But in our old tree house, rain as it might Not one drop fell through although it rained all night. John Clare 1793 - 1864. The Country Poet, born in Helpston, Northamptonshire, who taught himself to read and write, lived a solitary life, but left stories of that life, and his poetry to enjoy today,.....thus, I fully recommend them.

[@alexandrareuter327]

Thanks for sharing that, I especially love the word "drabbled". His tree was clearly even bigger!

[@mom4joy]

What an incredible experience, I wanted to sleep nestled up inside too! 😴

A wonderful video! I once occupied a tree and received a beautiful channelled poem therein. I can't reproduce here as most edverything is routinely censored.

[@phylmariaarai3940]

It is a new experience to watch YU stay inside a hollow tree.. YU NEED a lamp light with led battery operated lamps.... Its just important yu have to have a camping outfit to protect yur bodies from anything inside outside the places YU go into.. Specially they're years maybe centuries old..... Theres more to note learn and understand.. Its so suspenseful but nice to be there to really see feel for yourselves..... Great adventures.... FR asia japan

Hi Alexandra

[@EE-hi4re]

You're like Sam from My Side of The Mountain. I'm going to show this video to my son

[@donnak6668]

I just found you and subscribed. You are brave to sleep here, I would have been afraid of spiders!

[@tonyadurst-scarlett1542]

I wish I could enjoy something like that. All I can do is think is bugs, spiders, worms snakes, itchy, damp, musty, spiders, worms, snakes, Blair witch

[@flowerseva]

Oh I would love to do this too! Thank you for your genius and play! PS Trees can heal and clear energy, and when you spoke of the intense dreams, I wondered if it was simply “ a clearing” from your subconscious. But then when you spoke of the Badger and the Fox, it seems like you were on a Vision Quest. The author Ted Andrews, of ‘Animal Speak’, would have much to say about the Ash tree meaning, and the Fox and Badger too.... all easily found online. Much love 🧚🏻‍♀️🍁🍄🌲

[@AbenteuerSchottland]

Ich finde das total genial! Sicher ein tolles Erlebnis, in so einem alten Baum zu schlafen. Wie war es denn so mit den "kleinen Krabblern"? War da recht viel los, oder haben die euch ignoriert? (und ihr sie?) LG aus Schottland 😊🏕🌞

[@theressamurphy2996]

Any bears, raccoons or fox come for a visit??I love trees.. interesting adventure for you both

[@willrichardson519]

We have a tree like that at the top of a nearby hill lane but I don't think there is that much space.

[@isabelherrera8647]

Amazing!! Love it 😍 didn't you find worms, ants, spiders or other animals inside? 😬

[@bl6797]

Can’t do this in Texas….trees here are filled with large flying cockroaches!!!

[@krisztiankovacs6377]

After an hour there would be insects in those sleeping bags.

[@JADE-ov1xd]

Wondering how many Vikings explored this island 🤔❤️

[@skreenname229]

Probably was the tree you can find mytholoGy of ppl that used to live in hollow trees like that. To put it simply you are one with the tree almost like a core to a maGic wand. The enerGy flowinG thru the tree still flows thru and reflects in the inside and the frequency you were tappinG into while you were dreaminG. Also very interestinG about the funGus as shrooms/psychedelics do the same thinG basically and have the buildinG blocks of life inside like hydroGEN, nitroGEN, oxyGEN and more which correlates with GENisis. (I spelled it that way so you can break it down even further...)

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

Hi,

[@dawn409]

This video is so very dark it was hard to share the visual experience, exploring and enjoying being able to sit in the beauty of the hollow of the tree.js

[@eyeroller22]

I did not know so many trees were dying out across the world due to diseases.

[@shaiktanveer]

I wonder what would be the age of that tree

[@theforest3484]

It's an ash tree, so it is fast growing and doesn't get as old as an oak or a yew. So maybe 200. But an oak of a similar size could be 2 or 3 times as old

[@louisechapman9524]

Could you please tell me were in the UK u were. Thank you.

[@alexandrareuter327]

Hello! no problem. This is Sussex, in the South Downs National Park, near where I live. Enjoy the area! I'm keeping the exact location of this vulnerable tree secret though.

You have just squatted on someone’s house during winter 😂😂😂

[@wadesaleeby2172]

I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

[@dawn409]

Wish we could see a little better

[@atmakali9599]

You probably were visited by a fox and a badger 🦡 in their home.

[@alexandrareuter327]

:) We made sure that it wasn't anyones current home. Last year when we first discovered the tree a bird was nesting inside. It's totally possible that a fox or a badger has slept in the tree in the past though!

[@timmeade2397]

any jiggy jiggy go on in there?
