Is wild CAMPING really that DANGEROUS?
The most common question I get asked is aren't you scared? So I thought I'd do some research on whether wild camping is dangerous and how to stay safe.
In this video I share what I think are the top 10 dangers of wild camping and ways you can reduce your risks.
Let me know what you think in the comments!

Dubbed the scariest cave in the UK, I couldn't resist exploring! Hodge Close Quarry in the Lake District is home to both Cathedral Cave and Skull Cave - the reflection in the water looks like a skull when you turn it around which is why people call it the scariest cave in the UK. Great place for diving too with underwater caverns to explore! Please check out @ACumbrianladoutdoorschannel if you'...

Camping in a Winter Wonderland Snowy wild camp - Peak District
Interesting about the cows I wouldn't have thought about them as being a danger.
Yh I didn't take that risk seriously but they can kill people and one of my friends has seen someone trampled which is scary!
yeah but now yt tells me ive subbed to too many or it wont let me stay subbed to certain channels, i bet this happens to lots of people and causes hosts to suffer, i dont know why yt wants to ruin a good thing, anyway great vid thx!
Yh I've heard of that before annoying isn't it, youtube making decisions for you.
A baccy tin fire starting kit, nice 👍🏻 Love the Welsh countryside. Subbed as your humour is 👌🏻 I used to follow some other wild campers / hikers but they took themselves too seriously and it became a chore to watch. In times like this, sometimes a bit of silliness is needed ( tinfoil hat 🤣) as we say here, Proper Job 🍺
Haha thanks you can always expect a dash of humour in my vids, life is for having fun right?! Hope you enjoy the channel 😁
- know how to pitch, most tents can be pitched really tight and have very little in the way of wind catch surfaces. Needs practice to find out how to best do it. - Don't overpack your sleeping bag. Sleeping bags work by trapping warm air in the fill (insulation), so anything the squashes the fill reduces its ability to trap air and means it is less efficient. Also a can happen with having too tight of a bivy bag. - Get warm outside your sleeping bag, rather than trying to get warm in it. Light Cardio before bed will mean you are generating spare heat that you can put into your sleeping bag rather than doing it by shivering. Don't get sweaty though. - Looser layer. Most insulation works by trapping warm, dry air, which needs air gaps to do that. Baggy woolen bed socks do great in winter.
Aye good tips Tom. A taught pitch is definitely good although a little bit of give is a good thing to avoid too much strain on the seams and allow the tent to have some spring against the wind. Also storing your sleeping bag loose, hanging up preferably out of its storage bag I find creates the most loft and then a good shake to re-Fluff it when at camp 👍 Love my merino base layers, wort every pound, so much better than synthetic which make me feel clammy in the morning. And yes good tip re cardio before getting in bag! I'd love to do some proper winter snow camps up in the highlands this year if I get chance 👍
@@Wild.cat.adventureshoping to get back to Sweden soon in the winter, but also like to try the Scottish Snow.
Thanks for your video I haven’t been out in a while so you inspired me to get back out last time out I tried for bamford house and nearly made it I walked from bamford train station think I need to do it again I Minght se if me buddy up 4 it Wayne outdoors
Yh took me a few attempts to get there walking the long way. Kept running out of daylight. Nice views there, might do it again sometime. Hope you get out soon!
I plan on it very soon in fact going through my gear as we speak
@@rlchardpritchard7426 excellent! Enjoy!
enjoyable video :)
Thank you glad you enjoyed!
More chances of being attacked in a street in the Uk- a mostly peaceful, cultural ,diverse stabbing of course..
Good video
Thanks hope you enjoy the channel 😁

Thank you Cat. I have had all the gear for a couple of years now and still not got up the nerve to go. I have been using my age, 59 and female, as an excuse, but I think it’s time to start.
No time like the present. The only thing you regret are the things u didn't do!
love it.. Stay Safe🙂
Cheers. You too! 😁
Very very good videos of your ok and beautiful ❤ 😅.
Cheers glad you enjoyed 😁
Lovely video, not what i expected, you kniw what your doing. Too bad you don't have a dog though.😊
I do have a dog she's just too old to come camping now. Glad you enjoyed 😁
You are smart to be cautious in new surroundings.
It was just being so close to a path in an obvious shelter and it being open fronted I think
What a brilliant video, especially for people who have never done any wild camping or hiking .Great tips ❤
Thanks Katie appreciate that 👍
North Wales 😊
Wales is beautiful 👍
Another great video. I instantly knew where this was , just a few miles from me
It's a cracking spot if u can stay out of sight, don't give the location away pls 👍
@@Wild.cat.adventures First rule of wild camping, never give away the location. After watching your video I looked on google maps. 6 miles from me … walking distance 👍
I found your channel from this video. Subbed .. keep them coming..
Thanks for the sub hope you enjoy the channel 😁
Great vid! Used to have a real problem with ticks, they love me for some reason. A day hike resulted in having to remove over 20 of the little gits and a course of antibiotics. Not anymore. I bought citronella bracelets and sprayed my gear with permethrin. Seems to be working.
@@aruithdearg76 not heard of citronella bracelets before will look into that! 👍
I can only remember 2 deaths from trees in my time serving and neither were campers, nor any of the serious injuries I attended. Wildfires were a pain and I do remember going to 40 in just one month. I've often wondered if lives are lost when resources were out in the hills... 99 in one hundred people are just out for a good time, the other 1 has had his good time and is returning from burying the body. I couldn't give you figures but I know a fair number of campers are rescued from Dartmoor every year with hypothermia, to my knowledge no deaths. Never get between a mother and calf. Really glad you mentioned CO, I've warned of it before with hot tents becoming more popular. Can't say I'd argue with any of your 'dangers' nor your grading of the risk from any of them.
The risk is lower in hot tents although not zero. Need to ensure flue/spark arrestor is clear and there is adequate ventilation into the tent. Any smoke and Co should go up the chimney. Should being the operative word! I will be looking into an alarm just to put my mind at ease as just got a new stove and hot tent 😁
I spent many years in the mountains of Cymru my home. There are many suprise shelters..Hahaha
I would love to find some more, always love a good explore!
😊😃😄😁😆😊🫠🙃🙃🙂😀😃😄😄
Nice vid Cat , glad to see you out again after mr Wild wales , might be inappropriate but nice shirt , goodluck keep the vids como 😂
Oh I'm back and better than before! 😁
I'm also a cold sleeper, so add 10 degrees to the comfort rating so know ill be ok! I didnt know that when started wild camping but women feel colder than men apparently!
Yep this is true! I'm a bit of a cold sleeper but like to keep my windows open at home to keep myself aclimatised 👍
I understand it's about the UK. To stay safe it's basically about Common Sense and the 5 P's (Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance) as part of that. I always suggest to bring some compass and map and to carry a loud whistle around your neck 24/7.
Cheers stevan good advice. Although I prefer the 6 Ps proper preparation prevents p!ss poor performance 😂
@@Wild.cat.adventures The 7 Ps (Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance) is the British Army adage but since planning is part of preparation it's kinda double. I prefer the 6 Ps also and it's what I use when teaching survival to adults. 😂Since I don't know how young your audience is decided to use the 5 Ps. Btw. The only thing I found that really helps against midges is a Swedish product called 'Nordic Summer'. It's not for sale in Sweden but I think they do still export it.
@@stevanoutdoor haha yes the 7Ps that's the one! Yes I know nordic summer and have a homemade version that I made on a medicinal foraging course. I've found citronella candles are surprisingly effective against the Scottish midge and jungle formula works just as well as smidge 👍
Have done WHW 4 times, first time was a Failure, Back in 1985 it was the Weather that beat me on Rannock moor, the hard going along Loch Lomond took too long and poor preparation, there was landslides all down the side of ben Lomond and the path was gone completely in some places. Went back in 86 and completed it using the low road along Loch Lomond, my friend took the high road and still I was first at the point were the paths meet. Came back in the 90's to do from North to South, and that had it's own appeal. Finally did it with my husband in 2004 but staying in accommodation and forwarding our packs via the transport service. Midgies not so bothersome that way. Only wish we had Phone camera's in the early days but you U-tubers bring it all back in glorious detail, which I can only thank you for that! Sadly My bones and back dictate that now I watch from an arm chair, please don't overdo the backpack weights and enjoy your walking that much better.
Fair play to have done it 4 times, I'm sure you have many wonderful memories! Age gets the better of us all but I hope you can still enjoy the outdoors in some small way even if it's house plants and gold fish!
Never get between a cow and its calf.
Yep good advice, just give cows a wide berth in general too
I made a very similar video Cat but more to do with my safety checks and discussed my feelings about others thinking I’m putting myself in danger from other people by going camping alone. Completely ridiculous but I hear it time and time again. Folk are used to what I do now and know I’ll do it anyway! The biggest danger to me is myself, any humans out close to Me are usually doing the same as me for similar reason to enjoy nature and escape society 😂 great vid and just like yourself, never been asked to move on and never had any encounters from any unpleasant folk 😊everyone I meet on the trail are awesome 🙌🏻 xxx
Hi Sarah good to hear and I'll check out your channel too! I'm definitely more cautious when on my own and watch my step more but agreed we can be our own worst enemy lol!
No 1: Dogs revealing stealth camping sites. Rightious dog owners reporting wild campers
Yh my dog can give the game away lol, but she's also very good at protecting me. I don't think it's necessarily righteous dog owners, just self righteous people in general aka Karen's and Kevins!
You're like Goldielocks trying out each hut to find the one that's juuuuuust right.
Haha at least there wasn't any bears 😂
Another bestie Vlog be safe in wild Camping
Cheers glad you enjoyed! 😁
Number one cause, NOT living! Joking aside, slipping and falling or becoming injured so you cant walk is a real problem. A satellite phone would work anywhere on earths surface. Not cheap but 100 percent guaranteed to alert someone assuming your actually alive to use it. Great video, well thought through. Subbed! 👍😎
Thank you appreciate the sub! I'd still say you're more likely to have a fatal car accident than a fatal fall but maybe that's just my driving 😬🤣
Ye forgot to mention wild haggis in Scotland. They can be really aggressive. They are known to attack cows and wild campers and eat the midgies but if yer of Scottish origin yer perfectly safe
The midgies on the mull of Galloway are not of this world. 😂
Haha aye the wee beasties n haggis! I'd love to see a cure furry haggis in the wild (with vicious pointy teeth) 🤣
They seem worse in areas with less wildlife to feed on, the meerest hint of an animal and it's like they go crazy! Don't know what mull of Galloway is like but that's been my experience so far
My main worry is being shot! Im always hearing farmers shotguns going off in nearby fields, especially at dusk when i guess the bunnies come out to play. Basic safety rule...if i see used cartridges in a wood i keep walking😂
Aye that's not a bad shout with the cartridges. Although tbf if they can see small flurries they can generally see us too!
Did this with some friends a couple of years ago, everything became so much more enjoyable (faster and more pub time) after day 2 when we used the luggage drop off service they have on this route. Well done, among the best knowledge for such adventures is knowing when not to continue.
I convinced my friends not to use the baggage transfer lol! I would've made it further but tbf I think I would've had the same issues a couple days later as my footwear just wasn't up to that kind of hard packed trail.
Video was as amazing as you stunning part of Wales stay safe God bless x
Aww thanks I really enjoyed this camp and yes a truly beautiful part of Wales, I will be back!
I’m from the US just found your channel and subscribed, I just wanted to tell you that you are adorable !
Awww thanks and hi from over the pond in the uk!
Great vid i started solo last year and was so scared in case a creep turned up, but after afew goes ive overcome that psychological fear and as the night is filled with strange sounds, i think, oh thats a deer or an owl!
Glad you pushed past that fear, the benefits most definitely outweigh the risks! Funny isn't it how it's only the past couple hundred years or so we've begone so disconnected from nature we see it as a risk, but we've spent 1000s of years living in nature!

@@Wild.cat.adventures But seriously, have you ever seen or heard anything that was...let's say supra normal? I dislike para normal as a term, I think it's over used.

@@Wild.cat.adventures Trust me, when I say you're prettier than Eva zu Beck. I have an astounding weakness when it comes to brunettes it seems. When you got stuck under that log, I was frantically scanning your fingers for the shiny rocks stuck on metal. 🤞 I didn't see any. Lucky me. Now, hopefully you think I'm quite dashing and not creepy? Either way, your content is pretty compelling. I must protest the use of powdered coffee though. YUCK!
Another great video, ive been wild camping for over 40ys now, good tips and ACCURATE! ( mind you, the psycho and moors murders freaks me 😂😂). Ticks are a big problem here in the South West, I know three people who have had Lyme disease, one of them was ill for three months. Maybe a collar on each ankle, if they fit would be an idea? Maybe look like an offender with a tag on 😂 , but I was thinking it could be helpful?
I wish they were suitable for humans but just read this... According to an EPA assessment from 2019, between 2013 and 2018, there were 907 reported incidents involving humans and Seresto collars, including 19 severe incidents. These incidents included skin ailments, such as rashes or hives, and neurological symptoms, such as numbness and headaches. One incident involved a 12-year-old boy who started having seizures and vomiting after sleeping in a bed with a dog wearing a Seresto collar.
@@Wild.cat.adventures crikey! That's serious stuff. I haven't got a dog now, although I would if had the time. Again, good knowledge and information. Keep up the good work 👍
Lovely video as always. I have talked to people on the fells that have said they are much safer on the fells than they on the streets of their towns and cities at night. It is the car parking I get concerned about as to whether it will still be there in the morning when I get back
Yh I worry about the car too sometimes but even then it's probably still safer in the countryside than parking it in the city
The fear of wild camping mainly exists in your head. Overcome that fear and you open up a whole world of camping possibilities beyond the official and expensive campsites. I've been cycle touring and wild camping for 12 years to date and have never had a problem. I've just returned from a two week tour (in the UK). The secret to stealthy and safe wild camping is to never camp in or near urban areas. I always aim to camp as far away from civilization as possible. Pitch late and strike camp early and leave no trace that you were there. If there's any litter, where I wild camp, I always collect it and dispose of it in the next litter bin I find. That way, I leave the place cleaner than I found it. I've camped in forests and woodland, on rail trails, canal towpaths, on highway roundabouts, under a bridge, in a bird hide, in picnic areas, on cliff tops overlooking the sea. I've never not found anywhere to wild camp. Give it a go.
Yep I'm exactly of the same mindset, well said 👍
