[@WildBeare]

Helloooo Wild Ones! Not sure how I'm so far behind that I'm still editing March haha, I've got a couple of local over-nighters to edit next and then a 2 night Wild adventure (the first warm weather, waterfally trip of the year 😍) Hope you guys are good! Much Love 💚 Claire 🌿🐻

[@MarkBalbao]

Cool video 😊 hope to see many more.

[@mikeoglen6848]

You found a great nook there on the peninsula....

[@PaddingtonBear2213]

Hey Claire. That looked beautiful. Definitely a skinny dip type of lake. 😳. Looks beautiful but fresh. What do you do about mozzies? I’d be bitten to pieces. That sunset looks gorgeous. Even the moon gave off some beautiful light. I saw your Northern light video. I was so jealous. Words do not describe how that must of felt. Keep up the fantastic videos. 🏕🏕

[@josephcullen2512]

Enjoy the summery weather when you can! We can wait. We also can't wait, figuratively speaking. But we just about can actually literally wait

[@-W8WHAT]

@@josephcullen2512 Well said... 🤭

[@bobbyjohnmorwood]

I think it is great that you say "thank you" to all the things at your camp site! Always, always show your appreciation to Nature!

[@middlejester51]

From someone with 40 years of experience, that’s one of the most pure overnighters I’ve seen. Beautiful, simple, wonderfully documented. Thank you for sharing!

[@WildBeare]

Aw thanks! Happy trails :)

[@RickINFJ]

The drone footage over the peninsula gave incredible perspective to your pitch site. What a gorgeous lake. The geese had a lot to say. 😂 No extra morning snooze for Claire. Glad you had a cozy cowboy camp. Take care and as always, thank you! 😊🌲🏕🌲

[@WildBeare]

They were so funny 🪿🪿 never a dull moment with the geese around haha. Thanks for watching :)

[@tomsonfire3740]

@@WildBeare Try living next door to them. I think they might possibly make the worst noise any animal can make. You'd learn to hate them after a while

[@KrayzeeAssKrisReturns]

@@tomsonfire3740 But they're so cute the way they poop all over the parks and golf courses! What's to hate about that?

[@RobertSaunders-pe1qp]

The mystery object at 3:17 is probably a Saturnia pavonia cocoon (Emperor moth)...

[@trevorstreet3596]

Yes definitely 👍🏻

[@WildBeare]

Thank you :D I've not see one before, how nice

[@annoyed707]

So, no need to nuke the place from orbit?

[@RobertSaunders-pe1qp]

@@WildBeare I've only ever seen the caterpillars and cocoons, never the moths (probably they are nocturnal). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnia_pavonia

[@AdventureswithMud]

Emperor moth cool, I thought maybe a prey mantis cocoon

[@RandalSmith]

Many years ago, when I was a wee lad, my parents and I would go to Lake Norfork in north Arkansas not far from where I grew up. We’d fish, picnic, and in warm weather, spend the night sleeping on a blanket on the beach. I miss those days. Thank you, Claire, our wildbeare, for taking us along on your adventures.

[@deandee8082]

sounds like you had pretty cool parents, we camped, tents and all that, I wasn't allowed to play with the fire at all...

[@doris_1325]

🤔 sounds like its time for you to go back and visit, relive those moments for a weekend...

[@WildBeare]

The best memories 💚thanks for sharing :)

[@themattman1173]

Wow what a spot to camp. That sky was something else 🤯

[@charlietwotimes]

Nothing better than sleeping under the stars without a tent. I love doing it in winter; a cosy sleeping bag & hardcore bivvy bag with the cold wind on my face when I poke my head out!

[@liveandletdielife989]

What i love about this channel is that everyone is slightly different and the enthusiasm in them for the adventure.

[@BZK_Adventures]

I find so much relatability to that moment when you think you see your destination on the horizon, just for it to be another stretch of land - especially when you're looking for water and have run out!

[@echoravenrider932]

I love that you said thank you to your camping place. Surely the Earth appreciates our gratitude. Thanks for your precious videos. 🧡

[@tomwalters2385]

What a lovely sunset, and oh that magnificent starry sky! As usual, Claire, I thoroughly enjoyed the video. ✌🏽

[@sunwukong1368]

Nothing makes me feel in sync with the world than sleeping outdoors under the stars...i swear i can feel the earth turning as i gaze up at the stars...love the vid Claire...Thank you.

[@WildBeare]

It's pretty special isn't it ✨ thanks for sharing it with me :)

[@PurplePatch2]

KZbin brought me to your channel and I’m so grateful it did! I’m not able to go very far on my own due to physical and mental health/cognitive issues but i absolutely adore nature and the idea of being at one with the earth so to be able to see all this through your eyes and with your ongoing themes of inspiration and resilience gives me such joy ❤ thank you Claire xx

[@6yjjk]

Yep, once you wake the geese up, it's game over. Especially if they wake the seagulls!

[@peterbrennan750]

Always good to wake up to a goose...

[@unixpro2]

What a stunning stealth pitch! It is one of my favorites that you’ve done. The location, the wildlife, the starry skies were perfection. Thanks for allowing us to tag along.

[@WildBeare]

Aw thanks, so pretty up there isn't it, thanks so much for coming with me :) 💚

[@cysgodycastell]

@@WildBeare That lake is a very distinctive. You should look up the research info on those wild goats you spotted. They have a unique and ancient pedigree.

[@annoyed707]

Worth the walking, for sure.

[@jelofts]

Claire, you and your postings are an absolute delight!

[@WildBeare]

ahh thanks so much :) 💚

Awesome as usual Claire!! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.

Gotta love those false horizons, making the adventure all the more fun when you finally get there. Lovely place.

[@pauldavidmurray6531]

Take my hat off to you, for getting outside and enjoying the countryside many thanks 🙏 for your videos xx

[@jeremymanning2132]

What a wonderful spot. I'm very jealous. So peaceful with only nature for company. Great video. 👍👍

[@jime2290]

Love how the geese are up early! Thanks for sharing this with us 🇺🇸

[@LoneWolfExplorer]

Now that’s living life ❤

[@leatherlip]

You really do have a way to wake up a persons appetite for a nice walk - great stuff!

[@cranefly23]

That looked a cozy little spot to camp! Very nice. Thanks for sharing, Claire.

[@shogun666able]

All well worth it Claire as the stars set their stage. Warm, dry and happy with minium gear it couldn't get much better.

[@michaelhess7414]

So little is needed to be happy! You are always part of Nature, perfectly blending in...becoming Nature, Claire. Thanks for sharing with us! Cheers Michael

[@irvsstella]

Always love watching your videos, you really like to test yourself. Don't stop being you, we love it!

[@terryharvey6284]

Amazing as ever. You are so natural.

[@WildBeare]

Thank you 💚

[@jasonwinney3491]

This looks like Gloyw Lyn, Gleaming Lake, just North of Rhinog Fawr. It's not easy to get to either. I love the connection you bring with nature and how life thrives in a wild place once the sun has gone down. Bivvying is the best way to spend the night here, a tent causes you to close nature off from yourself. The Rhinog's are a favourite area of mine, there is something for everyone there, and for the intrepid explorer too

[@Jasonj___8]

It still amazes me how beautiful places are that are right on our doorstep,thank you ❤️

[@nicki3496]

What a beautiful video ✨ sleeping under the stars and moon doing what you love best and in your ' element ' connecting with the universe🌟🌳🌊

[@carolenicklin6460]

Love how comfy you make your little shelters. And private

[@IntenseAngler]

This looked like quite the enjoyable lil' adventure Claire! You were absolutely surrounded by nature's beauty 😍 And sleeping out under the stars makes it just that much better 👍 Completely immersed and connected with all that surrounds you... definitely hard to beat that! I hope that you have a wonderful week my dear friend :) As always.... Stay wild 🐻 -John

Oh gawd, they're vicious 😄 thankfully they've never seemed bothered by my presence, don't fancy being battered by a goose haha
