Had to use that shelter for real in horrible weather when out walking with a friend and it was amazing. We were really cosy and it certainly boosted morale to know we were dry and warm.

Then in the local farmer's pub later that day... "So Dafydd you're saying you went to assist someone in an emergency shelter up in the hills, you'd heard shouting at somebody called Frank, but as you got nearer there was a girl with a camera and an inflatable man on a dog lead ???" "Landlord ! get Dafydd a drink...a STRONG one!"

[@Fercough]

I use these for many things. 1. To get changed in before a canoe trip. 2. To warm up after the canoe trip. 3. A place to rest a while on long walks. A brew and butty out of the elements makes all the difference. I keep some sweets and handwarmers in in, just in case I do need to use it 'in anger'. I'd rather not spend a night in one, but that 6 degree bump up could be what keeps you alive.

[@WildBeare]

Yep totally agree, great bit of kit they are :)

[@domo3552]

Are you referring to the shelter or the doll? 😉

[@joshovki]

These emergency bothy bags really are life savers, we use them frequently to keep the elements off people that have had accidents. Sometimes just a case of holding them over to keep the sun off, other times you find yourself in there with the casualty, dog and a couple of people trying to work around in a super small area. For the size and weight always worth having one in the bag

[@WildBeare]

I agree they're a great bit of kit :) really impressed

[@jeremyroberts39]

@@WildBeare hope you see this. Your channel has fast become my favourite amongst a heady mix of Camping with Steve, Simon a Bloke in the Woods, Kent Survival, to name but a few. You're managing to mix a degree of self-inflicted jeopardy with humour and genuineness which really appeals. Pitch in your star photography, Frank and talking bugs and you've got a winning combination. It also helps that you spend a lot of time in Wales so I have a ready comparison with my home area. Mind you, your trek home last week was also excellent. Well done on working so hard to get together some of the best videos I've seen in this oeuvre.

[@Adventures_of_Ian]

I have had my life venture survival shelter for over 20 years. They are absolutely brilliant. Fortunately, I never have had to use it in a serious situation, but to warm up, take a break or get out the weather it is superb

Frank had a glorious time in the shelter.

[@040055]

Claire, you motivated me to put together a little backpacking trip this last weekend (my first in my life), props to you, it wasn't easy. I started with a little 5 mile (8 km) overnighter, but I may have packed too heavy, my pack came in at 50lbs (23 kg) and the hike was mostly up a mountain so it really tested me ... BUT, once I was there, away from everybody, I loved it. I love your channel it is so motivating and uplifting😁

[@brianlykins6663]

Claire, you are amazing. I've never seen anyone bring along an inflatable partner to simulate an emergency survival situation. There are probably folks that thought it would be an emergency if they didn't have a partner, but I bet no one thought of an inflatable friend. Nice that you clarified about Frank's arm, there could have been some mistaken people thinking the wrong thing. Those emergency shelters would work for an emergency. I'm not sure I would want one in extremely cold weather. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you and Frank managed a little rest before heading home. God bless you young lady and stay safe on your travels.

[@WildBeare]

Ahh thanks haha yes it's nice to have Frank along with me now & again They really are good, I'm quite impressed but yes, cold would be a different matter. Still compared to not having one, could be a life saver! Thanks so much for watching :)

I don't know if Claire is an INTJ (based on the Myers-Briggs type indicator), but if so, then this would be the usual modus operandi. People of this type plan in advance, think through it carefully before acting and have back-up plan's for back-up plan's. Anyway, I'm quite sure she's an introvert 🙂
