Stealth Camping Under a Tree 🥶 Below Freezing -6°C
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- A lil stealth camp under a tree in -6ºC. This wasn’t what I’d originally planned to do, but there were too many people about for a tarp camp out in the open. The tree provided a nice bit of cover and also kept me a lot warmer - with about 3ºC difference between the temperature under the tree and outside it 😮

Thanks so much for watching 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

A great little tip I learnt in the Royal Marine Commandos, at night before you go bed, heat up a load of water, put it back in your water bottle, drop it in bottom of your sleeping bag to keep your toes warm, and when you use it in the morning you use less fuel to reheat it to cook with.
Just make sure your water bottle does not leak > wet sleeping bag.
Good idea
How can anyone not love this lady? I am watching them all again now , so calming and love the cello music . Stay safe stay free stay wild . Love it .
8:17 struck a nerve. I always get sad when it's time to go. You thanked the tree for its shelter. 😊 Bless your soul ✌️
I adore how you show things not going to plan, but still adapt to enjoy. You make me want to rethink my life choices!!! Please keep producing this content & let me know how I can support you from the states.
Only just discovered your channel a few days ago and already watched most of the films.
Makes a refreshing change from the normal beardy blokes and expensive kit to find someone more realistic and relatable showing that things don’t always go to plan,and you don’t always need the most expensive kit to get out there and enjoy time in nature.
Looking forward to your next films and wish you the best for all your future adventures.
Hi Ian, welcome to my lil channel 👋 thank you so much hehe, glad you enjoy my vids, I love to make them :) Claire
@@WildBeare It shows you have such passion and a great inspiration that I’ve now got my old tarp and camping gear out of storage and thinking of doing wild camping LOL😂.
Looking forward to your test on the OneTigris Backwood Budgalow. Will it be better than tarp and Bivvy?🤔
Yes, good comments... I get a bit sick, or tired, as a man, watching other men doing wild camps. Nice to have a feminine touch , without a beard obviously..I HOPE SHE TAKES CARE. (I ONCE DID A WILD CAMP IN A SMALL TENT & IT WAS
MINUS 10 or thereabouts, but I only had a couple of t-shirts & jeans on, & not a very thick s.bag. I made sure plenty of insulation under me.
Exactly my thougts! These serious bushcraft guys are too often focused on a gear and expensive stuff. It looks like these fancy things are more important for them than camping itself. It's so ridiculous 😅
That's why I instantly loved this channel. Simplicity, unpretentiousness, realism and zero snobbish talk about Stuff, it's so pleasant to watch❤
One of the things in life that I always look forward to when I pop onto RUclips is seeing a new video posted by Claire, its one of the bright sunny spots on what otherwise might have been a gloomy day.. Thanks Claire for all you do ! 🤓
Ahh thank you Gerald, that is very sweet 🤗 Hope you're having a good week!
Lovely 👍 you can't beat a frosty camp! I always feel summer is over rated! It's like you've spent a night in a Christmas card🌲
Your smile as you watched that bird was wonderful, as if you just belonged there in nature - which you obviously do! - and recognised an old friend :)
This is so cool! It's amazing to see you brave the cold and go stealth camping in a busy forest at below freezing temperatures. The footage is breathtaking and I love how you captured the beauty of nature in the wintertime. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Hii, thanks so much, it was very nice under that lovely lil tree :) thank you for coming with me, hope you're having a great week 🤗
I keep trying to find something new and fresh to leave in the comments, but there’s just no getting around the qualities that make all of your videos special. Beyond the great videography, photography, editing and terrific music, there’s a beautiful woman with a tremendous heart, an unstoppable, adventurous spirit and a kind and compassionate soul. You are amazing, and hearing your voice talking about your experience and the world around you always makes me smile. 🥰 Wishing you all the very best.
Bro relax that was very creepy
You are a legend. More people need to be like you.
Camping is the adventure! You have to improvise at a moments notice and at any time of the day. Embrace it, learn from it and move on. What a wonderful video. Happy camping Claire!
I camped as a kid with minimal money to spend and I still appreciate every indoor comfort to this day.
I love watching your videos. A little slice of peace in this mad world. Thank you.
I really liked this. I keep it cold in my room to feel cozy under covers. A camouflage tarp might be a nice addition to roll yourself in your bivy up in like a burrito for an extra layer of protection from the wind and cold and tiny critters wishing to join you in your bivy.😄Take care, from AB🌺(wild rose country), Canada
Yess I also love a cold bedroom to snuggle up in :D that does sound like a good idea :) thanks for watching my lil video! Best wishes from England 🌿🐻
Fantastic filming and editing. Thats apart from finding a suitable place and having the skill and knowledge to actually camp overnight in sub zero conditions. Im in awe.
Thank you so much :) it wasn't what I planned but I think I was actually warmer uner the tree than I would have been with the tarp camp I had planned haha
Frosty mornings are beautiful, especially when the skies are blue and the winter sun puts in an appearance.
Wow that is cold. Well done for braving the elements👏🏼
To me Aldebaran is one of the most beautiful stars in the sky. That slow shutter speed also caught the Pleiades in all of their glory.... Didn't see if anyone else covered it but when ground camping always remember "Head up feet down," if you can't find a flat spot.
Thanks for reminding me that it's the simple things that bring us the best joy.
cute little tree, incredible how much warmer it is under it.
I absolutely love stargazing during a night of sleeping outside. Great pictures :) !!
Australia 🇦🇺 downunder watching. 😎
I wouldn’t have expected such a difference in the temperature. Also the stars and setting were beautiful.
Always great content, edit is great just comes across as a really nice person. I've been watching for last two years. Keep it up, you ain't faint hearted your always pushing boundaries.
Helloo, thank you so much for the kind words and for watching my lil videos since I started, means a lot 😃 I'm so glad you like them. Hope you're having a nice week :)
Honest reply and considerate. Nice people need protection too.
I pull or push to see what answers such prompting . Why else
to land a catch ? One explanation concerns my crafting hobby.
I learned in Micronesia of previous cultures that had no metal.
End result is a stone-hard shiny orb. Braided human hair has it
on display in ritual usage to appease man-eaters. To go there
the first thing I do is bait a shark hook with dead flesh usually
collected from tar surfaces where vehicles speed.. How hard
could it be to reproduce a stone age task methodology ?
Love you Claire 😍💗
I like watching your videos. You keep the same contents in your videos. Everybody else changes after a while. Thank you for staying the same
Thank you for giving us that oh so lovely to look at frosty night under those incredible stars. I continue to live vicariously through your marvelous adventures whilst remaining toasty warm and dry inside my house. One day, however, I shall venture forth.
Wild camping under a tree in winter 6 degs below, what a woman you are Claire and you love it! I was shivering just watching you with my grandson, he us one of your greatest fans.. Excellent viewing.😊👍
Many years ago I bivvied in mid-winter in a beech grove buried under a large heap of dead leaves; great insulation and a very warm night. No bivvy bag just a ground sheet and lots of leaves.
It is nice to see someone so underprepared.
Good for you embracing the cold Claire. Enjoying the experience even if it doesn’t turn out exactly as planned is definitely the way to go. 😊
Absolute star
Great idea being under the tree. I have noticed that if there is frost on the grass there won't be any near the trees.
Love the chilled out vibe; that's what wild camping is all about. Subbed!
Hi Joe! Thanks so much, welcome to my lil channel :) 👋🏼
Fair play stealth camping in them conditions did it near a wood near me with tarp star show was good at night well done Claire great vid 👍
Always appreciate your ingenuity in making situations better, whether it's an improvised repair, or just giving yourself more room under some low-hanging branches👍
I have to rave about this for a sec, The music around the 8:00 minute mark is perfection! 😍 stopped me in my tracks, I had to go find it and listened on repeat for an hour or so.. it’s a wonderful discovery. Also, catching up on your videos while I work. Love your voice! It’s soothing.
She's so cute. 😘👍
Awesome video, I loved it. ❤ 💯
All the love from Germany. 🇩🇪
Hello Claire, feeling under the weather but seeing this video pop up in my RUclips feed has made me feel a little better. Thanks for your excellent videos.
Heyy, so sorry you're under the weather and hope you feel better soon 🤗 thanks for watching my lil vid :) 🌿🐻
Was that Taurus with Aldebaran the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters in your sky shot??? It’s hard to tell on my phone but it is my birth sign …Have fun stay safe love your videos.
@@WildBeare thanks Claire, really enjoyed the video. It was like your own Christmas tree to sleep under! Great. Take care.
@@kennethwilson8633 I saw Orion out on a clear walk back from work a few nights ago.
@@WildBeare fancy going on a date wuth me?
Nice one Claire who else would kip.under a tree and wake up smiling 😃 awsome
Every soldier.....ever!
On my first bivi camp, I learnt a valuable lesson. I was in a group of six camping in the Lake District in winter. At night my friend and I lay under conifers where we woke up warm and dry. The rest of the group decided to lay out in the open. In the morning they found themselves in a dew-sodden patch. They had a miserable time making breakfast on the damp and cold grass.
Ahh nice, conifers are wonderful things aren't they :D 🌲
Lovely video! Yes, trees and bushes can keep you warm. My late father used to say that the forest is the poor mans overcoat. He loved stealth camping and bushcraft, especially when he was young. I remember one of his stories about sleeping under a spruce in winter and waking up totally covered in snow. The little tree you are camping under in this video seems to be some species of hemlock-spruce.
Ahh that's a lovely phrase, they really can make quite a difference 🌲 I've always found it amazing how much more sheltered and warm a forest is than out on moors or mountains, which is obvious I suppose. But it fascinates me even more how I can sleep in a lil microclimate under a tree that's considerably warmer than the air just a few feet away
That sounds amazing to sleep under a spruce and wake up to snow 😍 thank you for the species info, it was a lovely lil tree. I adore evergreens
Have a lovely weekend ☺️ 🌿🐻
Fir.
Hey Claire that was a fab camp. What a cute tree! Almost a little Christmas tree🎄Those stars looked awesome! Looking forward to your next adventure Helen & Andy Hogan 🌲🌲xxx
Always makes me laugh the way you look around and when you spot people, it’s as though you’re having a “stealth poo!!” 😂😂
A shit.
Bear, you can take branches from other trees, 1 or 2 from each and interspersed with those on the tree , add, moss, bracken leaves etc to make a very wether proof shelter.
Hi Claire!
No doubt, Sister Tree has blessed you while you lay sleeping in her green embrace 🌲
You are such an inspiration , I'm glad I found your channel , gives me confidence to start going camping alone again, keep up the great work !!!
I just read this comment and was sick in my own mouth as a result.
So funny..Back yard camping
That was excellent, you caught the mood of the trip, relaxed and at one with your surroundings, great.
Wow! That is some serious cold weather camping. Respect for braving the elements like that!
Jealous, love everything you do, wish I was 20 again strong and fit !!
Beautiful. The stars are stunning. Thank you, Claire. ✌🏽
I laughed when you slid off your ground cloth several times! ThT would have had me hunting for a tree on level ground!
I camped like this under a large Spruce tree. Gently pinned the long lower branches to the ground for walls/roof.Very cosy and made Spruce tea 🍵 🌲in the morning from the leaves 😋..Awesome 🌳🌲🔥🌳🌲🔥
Im so impressed with you and what you do. Your channel is amazing.
Absolutely brilliant, you crack me up ,thought you was going to roll down the hill.
Just been looking at your early videos, boy have you come a long way with your productions. What a journey, can barely wait to see where another 12 months takes you. Please don’t ever get bored doing these!!🙂🙂🙂
Try using a wide mouth 1 litre Nalgene as a hot water bottle. I fill it with just off the boil hot water and wrap with any item of clothing to avoid scalding my feet. By morning it’s still lukewarm and speeds up making yourself a hot drink. I just walked the Coleridge Way, 52 miles, and had awful weather - torrential rain, sleet, high winds etc and it feels amazing to get under my quilt with my hot water bottle.
You continue to amaze. Well done Claire
😂 It's on a bit of a wonk. Love watching your adventures. The drone footage and music is great
looked like a cold one, love it when its cold and crisp.
Very nice! Thanks.
Your awesome.
Amazing what can be achieved with modern developments in equipment and the help of a pine tree !! , rather you than me though .
Such a fun looking lil' overnighter Claire! A bit chilly for sure, but incredibly beautiful with all of that frost covering everything in the morning 😍 It was pretty cool to see how much added warmth that tree provided you as well. Thanks for sharing another fun and unique adventure!
I hope that you have an absolutely amazing weekend my friend! :) Stay wild.... 🐻 -John
Nicely done. Photograph very well done. What really makes a good vid no matter the subject is a great personality and you got it.
Brrrr that’s a cold camp 🥶 Definitely a good challenge bivving in the sharp snap of winter. Love the Owl noises, 😊 Thanks. Have a great weekend 😀
Hi Rachel! That owl was so funny, maybe he had a cold or something, sounded a bit off bless him 😄🦉 Thanks for watching my lil vid, hope you're good 🤗 Claire
How magical that it was so much warmer under the tree!
Same temps lol. There's no heat source under trees......Nor did it hold any of hers.
Glad to see you've regained some of your sanity Claire 😀
Looked like a great little adventure. Keep up the great work
Thanks Richard :D
Must be weird to be surrounded by people in nature. In NZ we only have 5M people in the same land area as the UK, so it's easy to be alone if you want! Some of our forest is primordial and has never been cut so it's far more dense. Enjoyed your video cheers!
You're an absolute nutter Claire!.....and that's why we all luv you!!...Thank you for continuing to entertain and inspire us!
You are soooo silly!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how you do it. I watch Steve and Chris, and I see amazing stealth spots here in South Florida, but I just can't commit to doing it!! You rock! Thanks so much for sharing, freezing, filming, flying....... lol
Minimalist camping, love it.
I made use of a pine tree as an emergency shelter but it was summer and I got turned around because of fog. I put down some brows and slept pretty good. The next morning the fog lifted and I was able to get my bearings. Claire you are a hard case Camper and I think you Are Super Giirl. Keep having fun and making videos. Luv ya and remember Nature is Gods Handiwork.
Great use of the tree, whilst watching it occured to me that it might be possible to slot more foliage in between the tree's own lower branches, if you needed to create a thicker ceiling, or if you needed more of an overhang in case of rain - I might try this. Well done!
Just carry a camo tarp.
Now there’s a lovely present under the Christmas tree 🎄 for us all 🤣😊 thanks as always Claire for your “on the wonk” video uploads, keep up the good work! 😊👍🏽♥️⛺️
I live in 🇺🇲 Nevada I don't think camping under a tree in 🐻 country would be as mellow as your adventure 😁
We have crazy squirrels in the UK who attack in gangs, and use knives. They especially hang out in trees, waiting for unsuspecting wild campers 😳
@@noodles169 I hear they make a distinct "govna!" sound unlike other squirrels, and have 2 big claws on each hand that they raise up facing away from their prey--like a reverse peace sign--as a form of intimidation.
Sharing that tree with a diamondback?
Squirrels in the UK are all high. I saw Bill Bailey's bit on it. Hilarious
Give it a try
Yes she is great resource full a true camper
Just awesome, good on you for getting out there
You good girl. Love this site. That sounds patronising. You are so tough. I love the fact that you push the endurance boundaries. As JJ Cale sang "Travelling Light. Luv Yer 👍💪❤🙏
The native cherry trees (Australia) grow with a canopy that extends 3 m. The ground underneath is dry. They make great spots for camping.
Thank you for posting. Your wonderful adventures are an important part of my life now. One, I will not take for granted. Claire, you really are such a truly beautiful woman ❤️❤️
Hard boiled eggs with the shells still on make for great handwarmers or to warm up your sleeping bag ....double wrapped roasted potatoes also are good to keep your sleeping bag marm and both eggs and potatoes can be eaten when they've cooled down and that will keep your inner self nice and warm processing the food in your tummy
years ago on a training mission, the weather turned by very quickly, there was no time to get a shelter. I saw 2 huge pine trees maybe 20 plus feet across. As the leader I hustled us over to them and set up like u did. great video
Very different pitch for you Claire. I remember when you first started. You re come along way baby. (pardon the funny) . Always enjoy your wonderful cheery outlook .
Your star scapes are ++good!
Very nice little camp. Great drills. When I was in the army I used to love rough sleeping under fire trees and pines 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
Really loving your Video techniques, with the Drone, zoom ins, panning and everything. Great stuff.
We call this "HOMELESSNESS" on the outskirts of the big cities..LOL
I love camping under pine trees. I took a square tarp and cut a slit from one corner to the center (where i cut a small hole and reinforced the edges) then added grommets to each side of the cut. I can then drape it over the lower branches and the tree becomes my tent
Looks like fun. I dislike sleeping on a slope. It never feels much at the time but in the night when you start to slip and slide, it gets to you.
Yes I agree it can be a pain! I like my head to be higher than my feet when I sleep so I enjoy a slight slope. If I can't get one I put my rucksack under the head end to lift it a bit. This one was ok but yep very annoying when you start sliding around in the night 😄
That was fantastic,very brave of you . Thank you.
Claire you are epic - love the fact your not just a fair weather bushcrafter I was out too last week under the stars 🌟
Hugely cold and hugely rewarding so keep doing what you love and thanks for taking us on your journey with you and remember no such thing as bad weather if your layered up and have the equipment geared to the conditions - have fun
Steve x
Hi Steve! Glad you've been out and about, the cold starry nights are beautiful aren't they. Nothing like a clear winter night sky. Yes this is totally true, sky's the limit with the right gear :) Hope you're having a good week 🌿Claire 🐻
Was on Botney Bay beach this week with a firepit in the Pebbles watching the stars and thought I was stealth until I went for a wee and saw the white cliff light up like a lighthouse lol 😆
Off again this weekend to Ashford so hope it's a clear night (sat)
Have fun on your travels too hun and keep the vids coming your amazing 👏
Steve x
You remind me of a dear friend.I love her to pieces. We did alot of outdoor adventures together (from +30 to -30) , but recently have not had opportunity. Keep living the adventures. Cheers.
Can’t believe you did that, and your night star shots are amazing.
The coldest night I've ever had was -3°F : -19.44°C. I had a US army bivy, down bag, & a 4 season tent. I slept wonderfully.
Great video, a great piece of advice from a Finnish friend is he always drapes a microfiber towel over his face when he sleeps outdoors which I've done since, just stops the cold air dropping onto your face.
Enjoyed watching this, inspiring stuff, and like how you have shot it.
I've been going out in Connecticut and Massachusetts to winter hike at primitive sites for a years and wanting to find a spot near home. You're inspiring to go out to the dog park, which has miles of trails.
I love your videos. You’re crazy!! And bloody brave too a woman on her own 🥰
Your videos are so peaceful to watch 😌
Aw yay I'm so glad, thank you :)
