I made a perfect lil camp spot in a fallen tree 😍 This was originally going to be a bivi camp, but due to some unexpected weather I used my small tarp and made a cosy lil nook for the night. I cooked sausages on the Bushbox, caught visitors on my new trail cam and woke to the most beautiful frosty, sunny morning with temps dropping to -2.4°C. This was one of my favourite camps so far, so I hope you like it too :) All wood used was deadfall

Thank you so much for watching – see you soon for a lazy hammock camp 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

    Hello Wild Ones 🥰 Loved this camp, hope you enjoyed this lil vid :) Muntjac Deer breed year-round and can conceive just days after giving birth - the female on the trail cam looks a bit chonk, do you think she might be expecting a baby deer soon? 🦌
  • @alunjones2550
    I quite often take a tennis ball with me that I've drilled a 1" hole in. I can then find a long enough branch for a tarp support. I stick the tennis ball on the end that props up the tarp so it doesn't rip.
  • @SteveSeadog
    There's a lot of pleasure in watching someone who is at peace with the world, at least for a few hours, and totally in-tune with their surroundings. Thanks for sharing.

    Loved that one Claire, made a nice change. Saturday just gone, Gramp’s was looking after 2 of his grandsons 10 & 7 when they came in from the back garden and asked if they could build a den? Thinking of your videos and, ‘What would WildBeare say?’ Both boys were taken aback when I said “Yes”. Without further ado off they went upstairs bringing the materials they needed down. I hadn’t seen the den or checked what they’d brought down and in walked Mum &Nan. When querying where the two boys were, I told them about the den. “No, No, No” said my daughter and out she dashed to the two boys sitting under the trampoline on her beanbags, with quilts, throws and towels adorning the circumference of the trampoline. The two women were less than impressed; however, once I pointed out their initiative and the fact that the boys were having loads of fun both women calmed down. Later on, my daughter told me it was their first day in months that they hadn’t played on iPads and the XBox and in fact were both sound asleep 😊 So thank you Claire, without your videos and enthusiasm I’d have probably said No. Guess who’s got the boys this weekend 😊👍
  • @brianlopez8855
    Love the simple joy of these little expeditions. Your enthusiasm is infectious. I can imagine a lot of older children must love your work. Such an inspiration to others !
  • @dantoth1386
    I don’t usually comment on videos but yours was well done without a lot of “ look at me and what I’m done”. I’ve spent some awful nights in the bush all over Canada and I can look back on them with a degree of fondness in the lessons learned. At my age now I enjoy my warm bed beside a wife I truly love,but I do venture out a few nights a year just to keep these bones in tune. Nothing like sleeping outside in a Canadian winter at -50c waking up to accumulated frost falling on your face from the frost buildup from your breath on your sleeping bag.
  • @matthewrix2164
    Sausages AND ketchup - what bliss! Lovely opportunistic use of a fallen tree. Nice one 👍
  • She is just too damn cute. Also, really good seeing others challenge themselves. Watched another video in the snow where she really pushed her limits. I'm glad that these videos inspire others to also get up out of their chair.
  • @nidge2822
    What a brilliant idea to camp in between the fallen trees. Looked a great peaceful place to camp 😁
  • As a highly experienced and rugged outdoorsman I can tell that checking the weather in advance can make all the difference. It’s really the first thing I do before heading off to the mall.
  • @pyoung168
    What a neat little camp you put together. Very well done! Thanks for letting us join you!
  • Thanks for sharing, I wish I wasn't so scared of spiders , I'd love to do this. Great idea doing the temperature inside your sleeping bag x
  • Ahh that looks gorgeous. So special to be sharing the woods with all the wild creatures 😊
  • @richard_n
    It's always smart to use what nature provides for your shelter. Saves a lot of work and usually holds up better in bad weather.
  • @astrogypsy
    Not a lot of folks can make frozen look cozy. Also, great camp set up, and improv. to boot. Thx, and enjoy.
  • I have recently found your channel and my favorite part of your videos is the music you cut in. It’s always a lovely sound to go with your adventures. Well done.
  • Look at the power. When you snapped that stick in slow motion! Boss. Love your content. Cheers for all the inspiration!
  • @nikgeld5484
    Me and my mates used to go wild camping in the early 90s,building shelters out of branches and logs,good days eating jackets potatoes from the fire 😁
  • Nice camp. I think I'd have liked a wider tarp though so the sides could drape down the tree trunks over it's entire length. Keep doing what you're doing!
