- My first attempt at a real stealth hammock camp - always a challenge to hide when you’re hanging above the ground but I think this turned out pretty good :D

Claire "You cant see my camp from the footpath", Claire then installs a Lighthouse. 😂😂You are an absolute gem, don`t ever change.
Hahaha I thought the exact same when I watched it back 😄 so silly. To be fair though once the sun starts getting low I never see anyone in the woods.. it's the morning dog walkers I gotta hide from mostly. Bless you thanks 💚have a lovely week!
i thought gondor was calling for aid with that bonfire
Light the Grail shaped beacon!🚨
Just the ordinary will o the wisp. Nothing to see here. 😁
That lighthouse really kept the boats away.
I’m not a person that normally comments on any videos, but you vanishing and the bloopers were so very fun to watch. Thank you for bringing some smiles to my face ;)
Aw thanks, I can spend hours trying to get a half decent 'plop' entrance haha. Thanks for watching, have a lovely week :)
Thank you, interesting!
Also see the, disc-o-bed, it's heavy and should be inside the tent, but they do sell a mosquito net and any rigg line will put a roof on it.
Happy May Wild Ones! It's finally WARM 😍I think soon I might get out on my first non-freezing multi-nighter this year :D woohoo. Got any hiking or camping plans this spring/summer?
I have a transit campervan which I have converted myself for stealth camping 🏕 yes I will be getting into the wild as much as possible. ❤
Thanks for sharing Claire! I just made a Bivy Bag and I can't wait to get out and try it. You've inspired me to do a couple of overnight trips this year! Lots of plans, and lots of new gear!!
Yes!!
I'm tarp and bivi bagging it on Dartmoor this weekend 🥳 Great channel by the way, very inspiring ❤
inspired me to get camping/hiking gear for when i move to the countryside and live alone for the first time
Love your small adventures without any sponsored product placement
Thank you :) (none of my videos have any sponsored product placement btw, gear that you see me using is what I've bought myself)
Great that you are trying lots of different ideas for camping, like tarp camping and now Hammock camping. Watching you feels like the start of summer.
4:00 "cozy little home for the night" is my magic words
I always love the jump in or jump out of videos, but the equipment falling with you made me smile so much more than usual this time. I love it.
So nice to watch a pleasant camp where you're not suffering in the wind & rain. Those videos stress me out!
Sometimes there is nothing better than cooking Spag Bol in the outdoors followed by a peaceful nights sleep👍 great vid Claire.
Thank you :) yes sometimes simple is just perfect isn't it. Have a lovely week 🌿
Hi Claire. Thank you so much for all your videos! I love every one. I hate giving unsolicited advice as much as I do receiving it so I will just share my hammock experience and let everyone camp their own camp. I found that in a gathered end hammock(not the trough type with the spreader bars) that if I lay in it diagonally, then I can lay very flat rather than have my neck and spine curved like a banana . It feels weird at first because we don't normally sleep in a bed or on a mat that way. It has greatly improved my comfort while hammock camping. Give it a go if you like. You might find that it makes your hammock adventures even more comfy and cozy. Thanks again Claire!
My hammock says to do this, but I can't figure it out, to be honest - the automatic bundling up of the hammock always presses me so I end up straight, unless I lay down practically horizontally, but then my head and feet don't fit in. How do you manage it so you stay in that diagonal position?
Yes. That’s the way to do it. Otherwise your back is a shallow c shape all night which is not good. Sleeping diagonally lets you lay flat.
@@xthinker88 I've always found if you are reasobably tall a double gathered end hammock helps tremendously in getting that diagonal or ' Brazilian lay' spot on due to the extra width it affords.
Another good trick is to experiment with the amount of sag until you get it dialled in pefectly. Once you've found that sweet spot you can attach an adjustable structural ridgeline made from dynema cord to make the process easily repeatable each time when setting up your suspension webs or whoopee slings.
Thanks for the adventure Claire!🐌🌻
Awesome! I love your channel ❤
I am a "pro" hammock camper, family tradition down south where im from, and i discovered my talent for ropes at a young age.
Recently, i became homeless, and i live in the city. Ive been stealth camping with a hammock for years, mainly to try out Do-It-Yourself gear i make, for hammock camping. Ive been stealth camping in local Hill top public parks, some urbanized and one wild.
I was inside of a california redwood tree, 10ft up and no one could see me unless they were under the tree! And no other homeless people, or worse, could get to me up there. I slept very well and even pitched my tarp up there. Getting inside the tree involved parkour, and set up was almost like the old time sail ships, with the climbing and rigging.
Hammocks are difficult to hide! Im taking a page out of birds and nesting my hammock ontop of hills, or places with sloping ground, or inside of large trees.
So far, so good. I am safe from the dangerous drug addicts in my city, nested away in hammock bird nests.
i'm sorry to hear you're homless, but glad that you seem to be managing so well :0
have you got any tips for setting a hammock up high? i've tried once and found out it's really hard to get into a hammock without being able to touch the ground. Even with a loadbearing ridgeline
Hey Claire! If you hang your hammock, try and make sure that your rope, isnt more then 30degrees, otherwise you'll get folded up like a banana! The way to check this is to hold your fingers like a pistol, if the thumb and the tip of the pointer finger touch the rope, it's a good lay. Anything less then 30, you'll risk falling out, anything more it's like being a banana.
Can't wait to get out and overnight in my hammock setup again... SOON!
... and once u got that 30ish° figured out I'd highly advise you get some non stretch cord, like dyneema and tie in a ridgeline to permanently fix that sag, no matter how much you play with the tie-outs to the trees. (The length is usually about 83% of the hammock length as a guide). Happy camping!!
Helloo, interesting! Thank you for this, I'll try to remember to give this a try, I rarely get the lay exactly right in a hammock. Happy camping :D
Thanks, Claire. Your videos bring so much joy to the camping community.
Claire is awesome. A real deal.Thanks for your chanel, Claire and Steve Wallace are the best camping on you tube.
Thrilled to be mentioned in the same sentence as the legendary Steve Wallis 🤩 thank you :) 🌿
Claire your ability to try anything keeps us glued to your videos. it never gets boring and you explain everything in a way that makes it a pleasure to watch. thank you for being you 🙏💜
Aw thank you, so glad you like to share my lil nights out with me :D hope you have a lovely week 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare Thank you dear. You also have a lovely week and thank you for replying to my comments your so sweet X
One of these mini bag hammocks made the time my wife and I were homeless so much more bearable.we figured out if you flip over quick enough two people can lay in the edges and have a solid waterproof surface over you for rainstorms
I'm sorry you were homeless. That sucks.
So glad I watched the video day. It’s day 85 of chemo and I “hit” a wall. Your video definitely cheered me up. Long time subscriber, but I believe this is my first comment. Cheers🤙
You never cease to amuse and amaze me with your outings, I love following your adventures.
Happy to be called one of your Wild Ones.
Pro tips: Head end of hammock needs to be lower than foot end by about a foot (as you are laying down. Lay diagonally, not like a banana, if possible in your hammock. Suspension should usually be around the tree at or below your own eye level as you stand by the tree (varies by your height of course) will give you about 1 to 2 feet of ground clearance.
Good tips!
Thank you! Very helpful, I have screenshot this so that I can come back to it next time I try :D
Love the out takes! And the finished footage of course.
The outtakes at the end were hilarious. More more! 💜
" is he eating him?" "Hell ya!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the way you solve problems and even discomforts! And your disposition is always pleasant!
Hey there Claire, nice of you dropping in. Thar hammock was a bit of a stretch but worked out well. Nice and comfy. Great to hang out with you, another inspiring video. Cheers, Rich
Perfect timing! I just came back home from a really anxiety filled day at work. This has really helped me calm down, as always ❤️🙏
She is always such a joy to watch. So easygoing. I always feel better after one of her videos than before. 😊
Ahh sorry you had a rough day, hope today is better :) thanks for watching my lil video 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare ❤️🌱
Happy May. Hammocks can be so comfy. Thanks, Claire. ✌🏽
Very nice, Claire. It was nice seeing you out in nice spring weather. Also, nice to see you out without the wind and rain.
I had to laugh, you trying to set up your camp and be so stealthy, lower the hammock, put up the camo netting, then put up your lights. I suppose if those were walking trails, there wouldn't be many walkers after dark.
You're a beautiful, courageous young lady. It will be nice to see what you have in store for us this spring and summer.
God bless you, young lady, and stay safe on your adventures.
Hey my lovely wild friend! What a relaxing little camp, that looked amazing! So lovely to see the sunshine and actual, real life signs of spring! Finally!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Well done another great adventure. Have a tip for you. I spotted when you wanted to get the hammock higher you pushed the tree huggers' up Well you had whoopee slings on the end of the hammock and you can raise and lower it with them. I'm assuming the hammock is new and you haven't used it before because I watch all your videos and don't remember you ever in one before. However, all that being said you did a great job. 👍👍👍👍
Lovely camp and video. Love the care you showed to the moth....awesome!
I'm watching this as I'm halfway through my week on the Welsh Coastal Path, Fishguard to Newquay, just set up camp for the night, not in a hammock as I've got the dog with me. The weather has been mixed but today was gloriously warm.
Your video is a wonderful way to end the day. 👍👍
Heyy ahh wow, proper adventure that! How nice to share it with your dog too 💚 I first started wild camping with my dog (before I stared the channel), we had the best times out together. Hope the rest of your trip is amazing, looks like you have a few nice weather days coming :D thank you for watching my lil video, happy trails friend 🌿🌿
@@WildBeare
Thanks Claire.
So far it's been amazing, scenery and wildlife stunning, Dolphins jumping in the sea and grey seals in secluded bays. If there were less people I'd call it paradise... 😉
Hope you are right about the weather but it's Wales so who knows. 👍👍
I just spent the weekend camped in a spot very much like this one. Hope you enjoyed your camp. Another outstanding video! ❤
Thank you for the lovely vid, Claire bear! I'm so glad that you brought back the pop outs and outtakes!
An invisible camp, how fantastic
👍👍👍
Hi. As a long-time hammock camper, I think the best way to be comfortable in a gathered end hammock like yours is to get a diagonal lay. You'll need a little more slack in the hammock itself than is afforded by simply tying off to trees. You can install a ridgeline directly to the ends of the hammock itself that will keep the gathered ends a set distance apart no matter how you attach to the trees. This will allow you to lay more diagonally in the hammock, which keeps your body flatter and not as much of a banana. You'll have to play around with it to figure out the length that works best with your body and that particular hammock, but once it's dialed in, you can leave it installed on the hammock and have the perfect lay every time (use a cord that will not stretch). I also suggest you attach your head end just a little lower on the tree than your foot end. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's actually more comfortable that way.
❤❤. Hello from Utah Claire! What fun! 😂😂👌😎🦬🦬
I am amazed at how well the camouflage worked. That's an excellent idea, as I also love hammock camping. Thanks for the lead!
Just watched this during a break in a mind-numbing training course. Thank you for helping to restore my will to live.
Thank you for making videos, I really enjoy seeing those. They feel cute, genuine, warm and fresh air.
Cute editing . Another big smile . Thanks again
As someone who physically cannot fall asleep on their back, I can't understand how anyone can fall asleep in a hammock. Actually unfathomable to me.
I think if I was stealth camping I’d spend an inordinate amount of time and effort making sure my lights weren’t visible. And I’m definitely not a hammock guy but I appreciate your efforts 🫶🏻 My hiking days are pretty much over but I very much appreciate your videos from the forests.
“Have a little nature reset” is the best advice I’ve heard in a while.
«Little nature reset»-a very nice expression. :)
What a wonderful adventure!
I have not seen a stealth hammoc camp before. Very cleverly done!
Thank you for the fun bloopers. So fun!
See you in the next video.
Beautiful…Smart & cozy…What a great combo 👍🏻🤩🌞😎
loving those out takes
Such a cozy looking lil' overnighter Claire! I'm so happy that you were able to get some hang time in the ol' hammock 😊 Absolutely loved the outtakes at the end there too 😂 Thank you for sharing another fun adventure :)
Hope you have an amazingly wonderful week my friend! :)
Stay wild.... 🐻 -John
Hey John! It was nice to go for a lil swing there :) I'm hoping to be out & about, weather looks like it's gonna be gorgeous here 😍 makes a damn change haha. Hope you have a lovely weekend too friend, thank you for watching 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare Always a pleasure Claire 😊 I'm so glad to hear that the weather is going to be gorgeous there! I hope that you're enjoying it to the fullest!
love the camouflage nets they made your hiding place invisible, that colour is perfect for this time of year. thanks for another great video Claire 😀
Hey Beare.👋 Just love this time of year in the woods. Sooo nice it’s actually not raining every day and it’s starting to warm up. Looking forward to seeing more of your wild adventures. 😎 Keep the most excellent vids coming, we love em. 🤪
Thanks for bringing us along - great video as always - stay well! 🤓
Thank you! You always make my day brighter. ♥
Thank you beary beary beare ❤ your videos are so cute and cozy just like you😊😊🌻🌻🌹🌿🌿 keep up the good work. Love to see some cave camping videos ❤
Thank goodness, a new WildBeare. Something to watch finally.
One thing to note is there are very few horizontal lines in nature, so setting you ghillie tarp at an angle may help visibility
Hiya, another perfect setup with the weather on your side. Well done 👍 great soundtrack.
Love the vid. Love the bloopers more.! Keep them coming mate. Cheers from Australia.
Claire you have done it again- success! This was a treat- I like the idea of a natural reset, essential for a healthy state of mind. Good thing that even the dogs didn’t notice. Well done my good friend ❤🌱🌿🧘🏼🙏
Nice lil video. Loved it. Like the camouflage, and your quirkiness. 🤘❣
Hi Claire! Nice to enjoy another of your adventures. Take care. ❤
Yes it's easy to say you should get out more but already do. Always fun and relaxing to watch. Take care Claire
Just beautiful!! Thx for amazing Video, cant wait for spring Videos!! Greez my Love from freezing Switzerland ❤
Beauty returns to the great outdoors. I love using the hammock. Definitely more comfortable than the ground
Really enjoyed the adventure and your out takes. Thank you!
Get a Hennessy hammock and throw " one" of those camo's over the tarp and you will sleep without mosquitos,condensation,backpain and have a people free secure area
The most radiant, humbly beautiful camper out there…!!!!!!
Good stuff! When are you planning on venturing further north and exploring the Lakes? Would love to see you cover some of that 🤩
Ooh good question.. yes I need to get up there! I think I may have some longer weekends over the summer so I may attempt to venture a little further north :D thank you for the reminder, I've written a note to remind myself to try to get up there 💚
@@WildBeare Then I'll look forward to summer - if it ever arrives 🙈🤪😅 Keep up the good work 👍
Watching this from my hammock😊
The bloops were great! Thanks for the laugh!
That's one of the best setups you've done Claire. Beautiful little ‘ nook’ stealthily formed!
Claire, I had to giggle more than a few times watching you put up your hammock. Been there more times than I care to admit. But, there is something to be had when everything finally works, you fall in, and all is right in the world! 😃
Your videos always make me smile. Thanks
I love camping, and the topics of Ms Claire's videos resonate with me. All I can say is that I reaisze the creation of these videos is very tine and skill intensive - so thanks - please keep it up!
That looks like an amazing blissful camping place and idea. Love it. Love your vids ❤😊
I love stealth camping too. I enjoy your videos on this type of camping as well. Thank you Claire. Love from Texas ❤❤❤❤
It's great fun isn't it :D thanks for watching, best wishes from England 🌿🐻
I like the sound of the nature reset. Think we could all do with that🙃
The dogs know!! I was waiting for them to sniff out the chocolate breakfast. :) Cool video. Thanks for sharing! Some camo netting will be in my future.
When you flipped out of your hammock it made me laugh so much!! I needed that 🙏🏼🥰
today i brought out my brand new little Trangia stove into the local woods to eat some sausages for lunch, watched a storm roll in.... it was honestly just. such a little treat.
you've been an inspiration to me to get out more just for lil moments. i live in the city, so its sometimes hard to find spaces to go, so whenever i get the chance to, its heavenly.
thank you for sharing your lil videos with us!
Stay safe on your camps! Really enjoy your videos very calming, cute and well edited
Claire, always a pleasure to watch, liked your disappearing act at the end 😊
Love your content. You have such an amazing smile! Your bloopers had me lol!
Thanks for letting us come with you on another great adventure.
Of all your videos that I've watched, and I'm pretty sure I've watched them all, I love your stealth ones the best. Good stuff, keep it coming! 👍
Claire, another great video, The hammock is a great relaxintg piece of kit and easy to carry. Keep up these great videos. 😀
Fab vid Claire. Amazing camo nets for bare woodland leaf surroundings. Tip for hammock sleeping is to position head and feet diagonally which reduces the bend of your back. Also a foam mat in there helps (can cut mat corners off if you want). Inspired me to get mine out again xx
Where I live you have to have a tarp or some kind of roof over your head at night are you will wake up feeling like it tained on you because of the heavy dew we have around here. Glad to see that you are doing well! Thanks for sharing your camping adventures with us.
Oh I love you so much. The bloopers are well funny!
Love your simple camps too... Like mine simplicity is bliss
Happy may!😄 love the video, the outtakes are funny as all get go dear!👍
Love watching your videos makes my day always smiling and trying different things ❤
Great video - always fun and relaxing to watch.
👌👍 I'm in need of a nature reset ❤
Thanks for the video Claire!
Awesome video. I have never in my 75 years figured out to be comfortable in a hammock. You continue to be inspirationally adventurous!! Best regards.
Thanks! Ohh really! I can never seem to get them quite right but still find them real comfy :) thank you for watching, have a great week 🌿
What a fun night of camping! The hammock looked absolutely comfy! ❤
Brilliant video Claire , it looked so so relaxing , well done you .
Amazing video as always! I especially enjoyed the bloopers at the end!
You’re a special kind of crazy - and I love it! I always enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one. Take care and stay safe. x
The magical pop in from the multiverse portal secret revealed! 😅 Very cool stealth camp. Thanks for the chuckles!
You are brilliant in the way you video your adventures, I have enjoyed your honesty with the pitches. ❤ I love your ideas
