Wild Camping SERBIA | Full of BEARS: Tara National Park
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Why do we do these stupid things!? Tara National Park is Wild and Wonderful, full of nature including bears, wolves, wildcats and even a couple of idiots in a tent. In todays video we explore this beautiful place, leaving behind the comfort of our van and opting for a night in the woods in our tent.
Tara is located in Western Serbia, at almost 200km2 of stunning forest land and waters its not hard to believe this is where Serbia homes it's densest population of bears and other wildlife. We have absolutely fallen in love with this place, and really recommend people come and check it out for themselves!
Exploring Serbia in our home on wheels has been magical, we really hope this inspires more people to come check out this beautiful country.

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. So after waiting for six months for the borders to reopen in Ireland we have finally hit the road in June 2021 and spent 90 days enjoying vanlife in Spain. Then we spent the next two months enjoying vanlife in Croatia before heading onto Serbia where we currently are and loving it!!

Happy you both survived, looks very beautiful. Serbia was not on my radar, but now it is.
Should be on everyone's radar!! ❤️❤️
Watching your video adventures make this world a happier and better place 💞
Thankyou 🥰
In Tara mountain, a giant evil Bigfoot lurks ready to attack tourists, haha. Great video
😂😂😂 I would love to meet big foot haha, hopefully he would be friendly to us lol. Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!!
It looked so amazing out there in the national park, sooo dark! How amazing! :) You guys are so brave
Stupid more like 😂 do you guys like camping? Maybe go for a wee camping trip when United in the UK or mainland Europe 🥰🥰
@@phillyandkeely haha it looked so fun!!! I struggle with the cold so i only like camping in the summertime 🤣🤣
We can do summer time ❤️❤️
Amazing nature... I am jealous of your travels
Thankyou, yeah the nature in Serbia is very beautiful. We love our travels, this life it comes with a lot of struggles aswell, but it feels right for us 🥰
Once again you two are the best craic. What an experience
Thanks Monique ❤️❤️
Children. The next time you visit Serbia, come to Mount Tara because it takes at least 4-5 days to cover at least 20% of it. You can park with me on my property, I am located in the very center of Tara. Greetings from Serbia. P.S. You are wonderful children.
Thanks so much Dragan ❤️
Great video guys as always so funny
Thanks guys!!! So glad we didn't get eaten by bears 😂😂
More great entertaining content you guys. Safe travels.
Thanks so much Chris 🥰🥰
Bosnia and Serbia is very cold. I spent three years in the forests of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.🥶❤
Wow that's cool! Such magical places ❤️
Great video guys! Brave souls xx
Thanks Michelle 🥰🥰🥰
Brave folk! Not a chance I could do that.
😂 brave is the kind word for us folk lmao
Beautiful and positive couple. Greets from Serbia guys, i love you ❤️❤️
Hey Brotha Box!! Thanks so much for watching, and for those kind words 🥰🥰 We love Serbia so much, looking forward to checking it out some more in the summer months 🤞🤞
Your editing skills are fantastic. 🙌🏽Wow so entertaining. Thank you for creating content for all of us, all the time. 😁
Awww thanks so much!!! We love creating it, and makes us so happy that you enjoy watching it
Monopoly deal baby I love it. ❤ oh my word what if there was a bear!!!!!! 🐻🐺 keely is sitting herself. I'm so glad this is on RUclips ams your not dead
Us too 😂😂 we will have a big game of Monopoly deal when reunited if Scott can handle the competitiveness lol
Hi,love your chanel,you are so lovely people,I hope that you will visit Belgrade, have fun.
Yeah we visited Belgrade, only planned to go for one day ended up staying for four days 😍😍😍 very special city
I am glad that you liked our city.You Wellcome back any time.
Glad you enjoyed Serbia, I'm a scouser spent Xmas skiing Zlatibor ⛷. Were based in Central Belgrade (girlfriend and I). Been together few years I was astonished by the natural beauty of such a small nation. And.....it's prices. Been to the outskirts of Tara, Mokra Gora (small ski), I've deliberately not gone as we intend camping too, this summer. Subbed and keep Serbia our secret, if my lift pass increases due to an influx of Brits taking advantage of cheap fantastic skiing I'll blame u 2 😂😇😉enjoy ! Kopaonik great too, we go in 2 weeks.
🤣🤣🤣 it really does feel like a hidden gem, we want to come back In summer ❤️❤️ hopefully not too many other people will have discovered it quite yet. Our friends @overlandingsophia are there at the minute from our recommendation, they have a much bigger YT audience than us lol, so probably gonna get a few more visitors now 🤣🤣🤣
@@phillyandkeely If you do hit us up, on here be great to see you 2. Marija and I are based in Vračar Central Belgrade. That's a pseudonym obviously, for youtube 😂 I worked in forensic psychiatry (Ashworth Merseyside) so need not any former patients finding me. 😂😇. Was gutted for you following the theft. X
Thanks so much. We would love to arrange a meetup or something when we are in Serbia. So many people were so kind to us. Maybe say some day we are gonna be having a picnic in park or something and anyone is welcome to bring a picnic and join us. We would probably end up like a couple of loners and noone will come 🤣🤣 it's a nice idea in my mind.
@@phillyandkeely Great 👍 we live adjacent to Vuk (Wolf) Park or if weather better Ada Lake River Sava, has nice restaurants etc.....on me and Marija of course ! Fellow Vegans too.
Just for future reference if you're that worried about bears you might not want to bring chocolate bars into your tents Seeing how bears can smell things from 2 to 3 Is miles away
That's a good point, I figured because we ate it all that was ok, but the wrappers probably still smelt, and it prob smelt during the eating process! Thanks for the Pro tip 🥰🙏
Thanks for another great video 🧡🧡🧡 🐻🐻🐻 what's keely been doing wellll....
nothing much just walking her pan 🤣🤣🤣 you need to get the Foraging Pocket Guide 15 quid on Amazon so you know what you can eat 🍄 Opps 🔥 needed one of keelys list 🤣 left nothing but footprints 👣 👍
Yes would love to learn more about foraging!! Thankyou so much Becky 🥰🥰
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉that was fantastic
🥰🥰🥰
Love your experiences and your vlogs... so I went to your website thinking about stickers, and found myself reading your personal blogs.. and like you even more 😁. Found myself relating to your thoughts on drinking beer in a hammock in a beautiful place, but having the void inside of 'purpose'. My hubs and I talked about that a lot. Still workin on that ... God bless and Happy Travels!!
Awwww thankyou so much for reading them, so glad you enjoyed them. Been thinking of trying to write some more again for the blog, been a long time brewing thoughts lol. GB you too xx
We're u not afraid being left alone with the food and the bears lol serious Flamage 😆
To be honest I didn't really think of it during the day, I thought that they only were a risk at night, but now that you've said it, all the videos you see are during the day 😂😂😂
You reminded the movie 'Blair witch project' but with a happy ending. :))
🤣🤣 glad it had a happy ending 🥰🥰 no bears and wolves thankfully
hey! just came across this video. I plan to go to Tara national park tomorrow and camp solo. After you finished your food did you tie it to a tree?
From what I recall we ate all of our food and left any dishes far away from the tent, but you are definitely meant to tie food to a tree far away from the tent and like 4m high or something, so bring rope and a bag if you are planning to have food around camp. If we were out for more than one night we would have had to be a bit more organised, we didn't even remember the lighter 🤣🤣 idiots we love Tara national park, we hope to go back again when we are in Serbia again later this year. Please let us know if you see any bears! 🥰🥰
Oh crap I was planning on bike packing here but bears! Oh no
Im sure you will be ok if you have your wits about you 💪💪 no food near camp etc.
Eek! Although I'm glad you're alive, I wish a bear did show it's face, at the point where Philly ran off to get the lighter 😂😷
Imagine 😂😂😂 I'd have absolutely shit myself. I'd just have jumped inside the tent and hoped it magically couldn't see me 😂😂 maybe I could have climbed a tree using my climbing skills haha
Byeee there waeyy, love leeernin me ireeesh acceeeenteee
I'm as ireeesh S theaay coame. Paurkup
Also, that thear surely reminded me of a puppy
Very good 💯
I loave to yoooo boothe soooe moooooch.
American Irish accent brought to you by Dena
Hahaha why thank you. Thankyou very much
Get a dog so he can hear the bear :D , one trick so you can warm your tent is that u light one candle inside , and it will warm up the tent alot, and yes, i demand mooore videos
😍😍😍 we would absolutely love a dog or a cat to travel around with us, so many friendly animals here in Serbia. Ok one candle that is a very good idea! Just a little bit of heat 🔥🔥
Bears will definitely come into a tent for chocolate . They can smell it for miles . Get the largest can of bear spray you can buy , no buy two cans . Haven’t you two ever seen Yogi Bear .
Didn't know they liked chocolate!
It was so dark, all we could see was Keely’s white teeth 😂😂😂
😂😂

Philli you just have to run faster than kali
😂😂😂
At night she goes, why did you agree to this …. He didn’t 😂
🤣
Your wife is interesting. She looks like the wife of Asterix and Obelix. Like from 6000 years ago.
I loved that cartoon!! I will take that as a compliment 😜😂 6000 year old wife hahaha. Thanks for watching 🥰
@@phillyandkeely Of course it is compliment. My wife is only 36yo :-(
ALL mushrooms are edible. Some more times, others only one time...
😂😂 I will avoid the ones that are only one time lol
Is wild camping allowed in Serbia?
As far as I know yes. It's Slovenia that doesn't allow it.
Should always carry bear spray and never have food anywhere near where you sleep. ❤
💯 great tips Diane ❤️
Chap - chap onion outside not in vehicle, it's smelly!!!🥵😤😭
I love the smell of onion 😂😂 and garlic but it does make my eyes water haha
I thought wild camping was illegal in Serbia? Oh my gosh Serbia is on my list! I want to go to Serbia but it’s illegal to wild camp how did you do
It? 🏴🏴🏴
Wildcamping is legal in Serbia, Slovenia it is not allowed. Serbia is as far as I know it is? It's very untouched feeling country we loved it
@@phillyandkeely interesting thanks for that. And fyi I love that you hiked up holding a saucepan then hiked down with a kettle 🤣🤣👌🏻
Is that Russian gas?
Well, I'd be more worried about boars than bears 😉
No it's just gas from a camping store in Croatia I think. Now that we have experienced boars in Turkey, they were huge I reckon I should have been scared of them too haha
Cool video guys but i want to talk about something more serious ... I'm worried...You must know that not in every country is safe like here in Serbia...You cant stay in forest alone while your bf goes for the lighter...You said your going to turkey next...Be careful...It is not Europe...They are obsessed with blonde girls...Or Northern Africa if you planning that...Just remember what happened to those poor Scandinavian tourists in Morocco. All the best and please be careful
Thankyou so much for that advice, I think you are correct we feel very safe in Serbia, and will probably have to readjust how relaxed we feel in other countries, so really appreciate that advice. Just makes us want to come back to Serbia after even more ❤️❤️❤️
They were just mad Islamic extremists. Like the ones in London that stabbed people to death. Mad people are everywhere. The poor girls were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's very unlikely (statistically) you will run in to one and cannot judge an entire country or continent on that. The media only portrays death and suffering so makes the world seem that way. A tactic to keep westerners in the west to keep making the corporate kings rich :P
Those last couple of sentences ring true so much don't they! We try our best to judge places on our own personal experiences 💓💓 and Serbia and Turkey were both amazing 🥰🥰🥰
