2 Nights Alone in the Snow - a Solo Winter Adventure! Wild Camping & Hiking in the Mountains

There is nothing like the sound of rain on a tent when you are snug in a warm sleeping bag. It beats any hotel, provided the tent doesn't leak, of course !!!!

Hang in there Robb! This too will pass. In 2020 I suffered the same and I didn’t know if I would make it. I’m still not perfect but I can now enjoy my days. You will too!

[@Icechild]

Same here Rob, last year almost ended in tragedy for me due to depression and anxiety but these types of videos pretty much saved me. I love watching these as I’m originally from Wales and now live in the US but this does give me a little taste of home even if I have a little hiraeth.

[@cheryl975]

I am so glad I found your channel! I am a solo woman hiker and camper, so I am looking forward to watching your adventures. My friends don't understand the absolute joy it brings me to be out on my own.

[@juliehilton1701]

I admire your spirit. I have booked a holiday one week camping and the next in a cottage on my own, (hubby is having his own solo cycling adventure in France) I’m staying on a camp site and feel pretty nervous about it, but I’m so looking forward to it too, we’ve been married for 30 years and it’s the first time we’ve ever done anything on our own separately. It’s not a wild camping thing like you but it’s a big adventure for me. My friends think I’m crazy, some even say won’t one of your ( grown up) kids go with you? They don’t get it 😂

You are a true master of your craft. A mountain woman, a photographer, videographer and video editor, producer, logistician, drone pilot, chef, documentary author, map reader, endurance athlete, naturalist, story teller, muse, bad ass, gentle and patient teacher, and so much more. Thank you for creating and sharing your adventures. I would feel very safe in the wilderness if you were to be a wilderness guide and ranger in my wolf pack. 🐺

[@jonoffensend7519]

Loved the statement “ it feels Like a adventure though I’ve barely got anywhere” it is not your destination but the things you see along the way 👍🙏🎩

Thanks Jon, yep I totally agree ☺️🤍

EXACTLY! It's almost really not the destination that matters, but the journey. I know just what you mean on an emotional level, though I cannot really do it justice in terms of english.

This film was amazing. Beautifully shot, edited, great narration with a soft voice which is calming. The quality overall was as good as if it was on TV. I am Autistic and find your films very relaxing and they help me sleep at night as i watch them in the evening. You are a very talented young lady. Thank You Clare x

Huge respect for keeping it real with yourself about safety and limitations. No matter what, you win getting out there like that.

[@alasdairchambers1375]

Walking in the snow-covered mountains for the first time left a lasting impression on me. The serene silence I encountered will forever remain etched in my memory.

[@darthsarcastus1064]

Really great video! Most of my experiences out in the snow haven't been as relaxing as yours. A good way to stop your boots from freezing is to keep them in a waterproof bag inside your sleeping system much like you did with your electronics. I've camped under tarps from northern Europe to the antarctic in winter and I know that your personal administration is what makes the absolute difference in those environments. Just keeping your boots warm makes such a difference in the morning when you emerge from your sleeping bag.

[@tonydevault3844]

Beautiful woman in a winter wonderland. Outstanding! Love the videos and your adventurous spirit!

[@nickbenfell4327]

Don't ever under estimate how cold snow is. With the right gear you handled it well. Brilliant video.

Going through videos and watching. You are a great video editor. And a wonderful narrator and your kindness is so beautiful.

[@trooperdgb9722]

I'm ex military, long time ago.....and at the age now where "Camping", if not in a Motel room (LOL) , involves a tarp on the ground, a well (fly)screened tent with a collapsible "gazebo" over the top... and a camping fridge....and a foam mattress with sheets and a quilt...lol In Australia of course we have so many insects that can be annoying or even painful that some sort of screened shelter is NOT a luxury...but I love watching your little expeditions... carry in and carry out. In that often "interesting " UK weather!

[@philipmatthews7485]

Clare l’ve been watching your fantastic adventures only for a short while,but l’m constantly amazed at your bravery. A beautiful young woman that’s confident,extremely sensible but still prepared to push her self just enough to see what’s around the next corner. Keep up your great work it’s amazing to see. Good luck and stay safe. Cheers from Australia

[@cherylsmith9042]

Hi Clare most of us watching will never experience this wilderness in the snow but through your eyes we really do thank you 😊

[@frithbarbat]

So much respect for your strength in lugging not only your personal gear but all the filming stuff too, up such steep slopes, and then for putting your safety first and deciding 'enough', and backing down. There's enough glorification of pushing through comfort zones and powering on to some predetermined goal. I think this might be one subtle difference between women and men, actually. That women (especially mothers) have an in-built danger meter and a feeling that our survival matters for more than just ourselves. You walk the fine line between caution and courage with humor and with your feet on the ground. I am really loving your videos.

[@petergilbert72]

That’s so gorgeous, especially your final words. That it makes you in love … with life itself. 🙏

[@jonathanabbott3097]

If ever you start to panic, or get afraid. Stop, think, and take your time. Most people do silly mistakes when they start to panic. You did the right thing, you can always do the summit another day. Great video as always, thanks for taking us on your adventure.

[@neilholmes8200]

This. The only time I've had a serious fall on a mountain was when I realised I was running really late and needed to come down Eagle crag directly into Borrowdale. The guidebook basically said "don't descend this route if you didn't come up it as the way is tricky" I ignored it and ended up loosing my footing in damp ground and bouncing about 40 feet down a slope. Nothing apart from my pride injured, but ever since I take a much more pragmatic and cautious approach to mountains. If I'm not comfortable, I don't do it.

[@jeffharris3105]

I could not agree more. If you panic you are not doing yourself any favours 🔥🌳🌲

As always, thanks for sharing. 🙏

[@BentbrooksRambles]

Claire, this may have been one of your most beautiful videos…I loved the slow-mo snowfall and the moonlit shots. Of course, your smiling face is such a lesson to viewers: the difference between disaster and adventure is attitude, and while you acknowledge anxieties, you surmount them with your buoyant spirit and celebration of life in the wild. Your videos offer such a refuge and restorative escape from the world’s craziness, always with an artist’s eye and Wordsworth’s soul: “With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.”

[@WildBeare]

While there, we might have done 2 nights hammock/tarp camping and 2 nights camping in the tents. It felt like we had the entire island to ourselves, and it reminded me a lot of Norway or Canada :) Your trip looked wonderful, and with so many firsts. Medals and promotions all round :)

Here's something you could try. Charity shop blankets for a tent. As long as the weather is dry. Seen this on another KZbin channel. And the gentleman said, he wished he'd done it years ago. And the best nights sleep. Just used a zip line and then used strong peg clips to hold it up. And then maybe get the other generation to try it out in there back garden. Tried it myself and felt brilliant after. Great channel
