#WildCamping #TarpCamping #EnclosedTarp
There's a lot of youtuber's doing bushcraft / camping. Most videos simply leave me feeling entertained, some leave me feeling educated, your content leaves me with a profound sense of well being. Like my soul ate a snack and is now fully nourished. Thanks.
😆 yes, I'm still trying to work it out - it's almost hypnotic
Most of the girl camping videos I've seen just leave me feeling horny.
Here here, i could'nt have put it better myself.
Simp
very well put
I just love how you've used those red dots to accompany the explanation of how to pitch the tarp - so simple yet so effective, thank you!
Glad it was helpful, it's so simple isn't it :D 🏕
Algorithm comment
I love “the magic tarp”. That’s how I teach my scouts about “why you should have a tarp with you”. Now I can add another set up to my list. Thanks.
Have to love Claire's "can do" attitude and friendly, enthusiastic manner. She's a born ambassador for camping....
Have to love all the losers that watch a channel because there is a girl on there that they mistakenly think are in their league.
@thomgizziz
Your voice.
The rain.
The music choice.
This isnt just a youtube video.
Its like a spa therapy day for my mind.
Thanks for your hard work wild one. You rock. X
I use it as a porn too, buddy
Hehe yayye that's so nice to know 🤗 thanks so much, have a lovely week :)
Absolutely beautiful girl xx
Lovely chill videos if you can avoid scrolling down through the thirst.
Cracking video. Love the tarp set up its brill. Definitely going to try this configuration in the future. Thanks for sharing it. Atvb Andy
🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🏕🌲🌲🌲🌲
I've never seen anybody so happy because it's raining 😊
I'm old... 65 to be honest... From a child though my favorite thing has been lying in a shelter of varying "quality" while a storm whips around me while staying warm and dry. There are few shelters I haven't tried including, nowadays, a 35' travel trailer but under a poncho in the Forces and worse in the past but when the rain falls and the wind whips I almost can't sleep - because it feels so good to be out in the elements and comfortable. Nice work Beare...
Must’ve been a huge poncho
@@NikosKatsikanis Trailer sized.
Out in the elements and comfortable... it feels so good to be.
Yes, indeed. A lovely place to be.
Ex-military, I was the commo guy for an airborne front line company. I made incredible 'hooches" that were unusual shapes and well concealed, camouflaged for obvious reasons. I always had more than enough to work with, but the most fun I had was when after leaving the service I would go camping on an island that was surrounded by salt water, had wall to wall pine trees with six foot high briars under it wherever it could find sunlight. In the middle of one of these patches I found a good 60' diameter patch covered in soft fallen needles about 4-6" thick. And here is where my trip took a left turn.
Apparently the 2 man a frame tent I had used the previous season was not properly stored (again, obviously my fault) and upon taking it from my backpack (if it didn't fit in the Alice mountain RTO large rucksack, it did not reach the camp site) and I flapped it in the breeze to open it up... I usually peg the floor first, a polyurethane Fiberglas reinforced sheet, and then go in and throw the supports in, followed by outside and pull the guy lines. As I threw the tent open a seriously surprising event happened. The entire tent minus the floor exploded into BB sized patches of cloth in a green color floated on the wind...
My tent was completely disintegrated into confetti.
As usual, I pack ground sheets, camo sheets, netting, you name it, usually for storage areas. However, I now had to make myself a shelter and having that extra made me happy and I built an incredible hooch using the extra tarps and I had a wonderful time with my girlfriend in a rather large shelter... a 20x30 tarp in camo is a really good start.
🎉
Please just carry on doing what you are doing, you are a pure joy to watch. X
Thanks so much! :D
perv
Enjoyed the tarp camping approach. We have used light tarps to reduce weight when we are breaking brush deep into the mountains. Clair, you definitely know how to keep your audience entertained and educated at the same time! Take it easy on that ankle!!
Thank you :) yehh tarps are great fun.. I love that I've been using them for years and still learning new configurations! The ankle is doing a lot better now, thankfully. Have a great week! 🌿🐻
That rain on the tarp sound, my favourite thing ever! I was listening to it for hours in my hammock on the weekend. Autumn camping is the best!
You have a very calm demeanour and soothing voice. Thanks for showing me a new way to set up my tarp.
A bit of calm in a mad world thanks for taking us with you 👍
Isn’t it amazing how something so vulnerable, can feel so cozy? I love that feeling. Another nice post. Thanks for doing so😊
It’s great to see you get out and give us your enthused happiness, while being out there in nature.
I loved this one, the idea of making a rectangle into a tents is wonderful. You're so full of life and energy, it's uplifting to watch your videos, thank you. I dislocated my left ankle in 1968 in a climbing accident. I had two operations on it, resulting in a pin being inserted to hold it together. I'm 75 now and can still get out for walks on the wild Yorkshire moors. I'm so pleased that your ankle wasn't more badly damaged and is recovering. As you say, you will need to be careful with it from now on. HUG.
your enthusiasm at the arrival of the rain was magical.
I have seen several tarp setups in the past. You sharing this one showed just how versatile it really is. I love your adventures. Thank you for sharing them with us. I am glad your ankle is on the mend. I hope you heal well and quickly.
Thanks so much :) yep so much you can do with a tarp, they're so much fun!
What a great configuration for the tarp, just a brilliant piece of tarp origami. Very glad to hear how well you are recovering from that ankle misadventure. Always excellent to receive notice that you have uploaded a new adventure!
Thank you it's doing pretty good now :) hope you're having a good week!
I'm getting goosebumps just watching this. The sound of the rain on the tarp and the isolation is just so surreal.
The joy you feel is obvious and infectious. Thank you. ❤
I was grateful you were able to make your way out after you were injured. Your spirit is amazing, thanks for the amazing adventures! And a speedy recovery ❤
Wtf these bots
Aw thank you, I wasn't too far out thankfully :)
Sorry about the bot reply, they have just been booted
@maverick9860 they drive me nuts!
Your videos are what persuaded me to try wild camping for the first time in November. I'd never tarp camped before either, but it was lovely and was exactly like the ambient feeling your videos have once I was all tucked up in my shelter listening to the rain pitter patter down on my magic carpet. I can't wait until exams are over so I can get out camping again! Thank you for inspiring me
Very clever set up of the tarp, steak looked so good ! Always love hearing the rain.❤
I love how you bring the contents of an entire spice rack 😃
lol
yeah, im too lazy for that. i season and marinate in a zip lock bag, and it's well good by the time to grill
This is such a wonderful improvement on the typical DIY camping videos. I love how you try new stuff, and figure out how to make it work. Also, your absolutely contagious and obvious joy in your work is inspirational ( and reminds us all to get up, stand up, don't give up the fight!) It's all too easy to say "well, the weather is looking sketchy..." and stay home. And grow old, lose your hard-earned conditioning, sit on the sofa, get stressed out..... Your Zen- like approach to life's little speed bumps is to be commended.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
And, guess what: with a bit of luck, all your challenges and troubles will be small stuff.
Thanks so much! I look forward to the next thing you will show us.
Be well.
Thank you so much :) I find that I'm growing to love the rain and adverse weather just as much as I love the sunsets and easy weather. It's s different kind of fun haha. Hope you have a lovely week 💚🌿🐻
Its just weather, isn't it???
It will come, it will go, but we will still be here!
Thanks again for you contagious joy!
Be well, be safe, be all alive!!!
By way of encouragement regarding your injury...
I blew an ACL playing volleyball in 1996. My ACL was completely destroyed, enough that my orthopedist actually didn't have to do any cleanup when he did the reconstruction surgery using my patellar ligament in 2020. Major injury.
Though I don't play volleyball any more, in 2011 I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, in 2012 Mount Rainier, and 2015 Mount Adams. Just this past October I climbed up (and then descended a few days later) Asgard Pass with a fully loaded backpack.
The upshot is that it will only hold you back if you stop trekking.
All the best for your recovery... and I hope you keep making these lovely videos :)
Big thank you for turning me on to this tarp configuration. I like to cycle and hike so keeping the carry load to a minimum is quite important. This tarp method should fit the bill. Great video. Cheers.
Thank you :D enjoy the config, I love it 🏕
I love your channel . I grew up in Berkhamsted and camped out in Ashridge so often in my teens . ( Before Wild Camping was a thing! ) I can relate to
your 1 night camp outs in the area . I’m now a 65 year old retiree living in Thailand but love to see that Dunstable Downs and Ashridge looks the same and that there are still so many Muntjacs still there !
You should see the smile on my face!! When there's more steak than the little stove. !!! And that's a really wonderful idea with the tarp to fold it around like that, it makes like a tent!!!
I’m a 200 pound man, and I couldn’t eat a steak that size. Where do you put it?
I love winding down at the end of the week and watching videos like this. It is so relaxing. Eating a good meal while camping in the rain is the best.
I like this design. Best use of a square tarp I've seen.
I hope you find this comment appropriate. I love your long wild hair. It very much becomes you.
Nice one Claire thanks for the update on your ankle and glad it's getting better as ligament damage can sometimes be worse than a break take care.
Thanks for the explanation, I've heard that dislocations are worse than breaks.
@@MarkARhodie My sister snapped her Achilles tendon while running some years ago now. She had to wear one of those moon boots for like 3 months afterwards it took ages to heal.
Thank you it's loads better now :D I can't run on it yet but walking even on rough & crazy terrain has been fine the last few weeks. I've just invested in some really high-ankle boots that will hopefully stop it coming out of the joint next time it goes wobbly (I'm hypermobile so my joints are kinda floppy) Hopefully they'll help some 🤞 have a great week!
@nsean479 Yikes! Biggest tendon in the humam body.. that's an awful injury, bless her!
Yeah, her voice has a calm soothing tone from someone watching/listening from N. America. Im extremely jealous of her filming or video skills. Its an outstanding job
That was an awesome shelter and I’m so glad you were able to test it in the rain and show us how well it worked.
I love watching your videos and how you are so at one with nature and the outdoors. I wish I was as adventurous as you....well done.
It’s beautiful camping outdoors in the rain, I love a good summer lightening storm! If you have brought appropriate gear & you’re cozied up warm dry. If you balls up it can be a nightmare. I like this configuration might try it. Love your camping adventures hope your ankle gets some rest & heal strong again. Same happened to me years ago. Very painful! Bless you
Thank you :) It's doing a lot better now, and I just got some really high-ankle boots to hopefully hold it in place. Have a great week!
Glad you’ve healed up, thanks for bringing us along!
What a great tarp set up. Thanks for sharing! One of my favorite backpack stoves is the Bushbox pocket stove I bought about 15 or so years ago.
Hi Claire another great video!! Love that tarp configuration will defo be trying it out👍
Love your videos, great to watch before bed, so peaceful and relaxing, very inspiring too 🙂
Thank you so glad you like them 🤗💚🌿
This is the first time I have ever seen this configuration🤔. So simple… I love it. Thank you
Very glad to have found this channel. What a positive energy.
Never seen that tarp configuration before... looks good.
Top lady. Always informative and well filmed. Keep up the great content Claire. 🏕️
I'm watching this from a hotel in New York - my first time in America - yet I caught myself wishing I was in one of our British forests trying out some new camping gear and cooking over a fire.
This video is great positive energy.
Excellent job. Always great to see another way to set up a tarp. Thank you
Well done Claire. This is the first time I've come across your videos and I really enjoyed it. You did an excellent job with the tarp tent. One of the things I LOVE about tarps is that you can make lots of different shelters with one tarp. I know of at least 8 configurations that I use and there may be many more. I'm glad to hear your ankle is on the mend. Keep up the great videos! ! !
Wow! I didn't realize how bad your ankle injury was! I'm glad to hear it's coming along nicely though! 🙂
I've got a DD 3X3M tarp and love trying out all the different configurations out there. As of now I've only set it up on my partner's lawn as we can't go out camping together due to health issues, but we can't wait until we can!
Thanks for another great video!
Cheers Claire, your video's never disappoint; they're both informative and entertaining, keep them coming.
Claire, that was so simple, yet very effective. Really enjoyed that one there. Glad your ankle is getting better too. Best wishes.
Love your vids petal ..great work ..let the ankle heal fully x
You did well with your "tarp" tent. Condensation is often a problem in a single wall, but by keeping the tarp side off off the ground and away from the tent you can handle it well. One more simple trick to keep the "ridge" from sagging so much, string a line under the ridge. I know it might appear to be redundant, but fabric has a grain, and when you go diagonal to the grain, it will stretch or sag, and the grain on your tarp is parallel to the sides, so by adding a line that is quite taut, it will keep it from sagging. (I was a professional tent designer for 30+ years). Good video.
That's a brilliant idea for a shelter Claire. So simple and it works really well too! Thanks for another ace video. 👍🏼
Nice, easy to follow, no nonsense tutorial, well done Claire!
Your videos are always such a joy to watch Claire.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go get a steak & some spices.
Lawry's seasoned salt, it's all you need, and a few stock cubes. Takes up no room and does the lot. Great video many thanks. Stay safe.
Dziękuję Ci za ten film. To jest moje ulubione ustawienie tarpa :)
Your energy is contagious, thanks so much. I like the shelter idea a lot.
Great video, it had your usual lovely calming feel to it 👍 I have been thinking about using a tarp setup like that. Seeing how well it worked for you I may give it a go as I loved how it could be used as an open shelter for cooking in the rain ❤
Look after those injuries , I'm still suffering with mine from 12 yrs when I fell 18Ft down a waterfall while climbing , I didn't rest it enough and now i get fluid build up when I've been on my feet , mine too was a leg injury , So look after it because we want to see more of your future content , we love your videos. Love that happy smile , cheers me up .Thankyou.
you are a perv, stop pretending otherwise.
Love the simplicity of this versatile single tarp set up. Ty & I watched the link too.
Best with the ankle & bone bits. It is a rainy winter night here so the mood is matched as I listen to the pelting of the roof under the garrette eave.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos..
In SO many ways-
You show and encourage women you CAN do this-
You don't waste time- your or ours..
You try shelters of different styles for different sets of weather/circumstance...
You show us every step, and then invite us in.
I've watched for several months and by the packaging on foods, gathered you were in the UK...
Turned sound up n yepper!!
That explains why you can go out like that!!!
I'm in the northwest USA and we have bears, cougar/mountain lions, wolf, and coyotes as predators..
But I dearly love the solitude you take us to...
That was a really well made video Claire. Loved the editing on this one and also feeling inspired to dust off my tarp! I love the simplicity and versatility of tarp shelters. 👍Ben
Thank you Ben, having fun tarping :D
I watched once now I’m obsessed❤
What a brilliant shelter you created and a wonderful video to watch 👌
Thank you :D
Nice job on video and showing the setup of tarp !! Nice looking steak !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
Love the effort you put into the captions, thanks so much for that, great vid and work as always, a joy x
I absolutely Love your videos! So fun, and Adventurous! You have come a long way in your confidence about your skills!
Ahh yay, thanks so much :D
Claire, that was simply brilliant. The enclosed tarp shelter is better than some of the tents I’ve seen. As always, lovely photography and editing. I was very glad to hear the update on your ankle, though the injury was worse than first thought. Hopefully you can rehab your ankle and brace it such that you can have many more adventures in the wild.
Thanks so much :D it's a great set-up isn't it, I'm so impressed with it. Ooh yes, I've just invested in some real high-ankle boots, which will hopefully hold my floppy ankles in the right place haha 🤞 Hope you have a great week :) Claire
Awesome video! Loved how comfortable you seemed while cooking in the rain.
It’s always a cozy feeling hanging out in a nice shelter you just made. Awesome video I will be trying this.
Absolutely love the look of this and i will definitely be trying this soon. Thanks for sharing.
Claire, I have followed you for sometime now, and I have to say love your filmography and sense of calm in what you do. You do put yourself through the mill sometimes in your videos testing different things in some wild weather showing how brave you are. Can I also say this tarp setup looks fantastic by the way, may have to give this a go.
Hope your ankle is getting better, I felt your pain just watching you hobble back when you did that, glad it's not stopped you putting content out though❤❤
Hi Stuart! Thank you so much, I'm a photographer by trade so I'm really enjoying evolving that into videography :D
It's a great lil setup isn't it!
It's loads better now thank you, I pretty much forget about it unless I run on it or bend it a certain way, then it reminds me haha. But it's fine to walk on. I just invested in some real high-ankle boots that hopefully will hold it in place next time it decides to have a silly moment 😬🤞
Hope you have a lovely week! Claire 🐻
All from a single tarp?! What a great little flexible set up. Openly cooking meat without caring about Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my. You are far braver than me, but I used to do it when I was a young sprout like you. Thanks for digging up my memories. Owe you for that. 💝 Good🍀Luck, Sweetpea.
If she's in the UK, then they've killed all the wolves and bears.
@@kerbalairforce8802 Haha, Americans eh? All the gear and no idea.
I'm from British Columbia, and I've never seen someone so happy to see the rain 😊 great to see
I'm going to head out and try this configuration as there is rain in our forecast tonight.
Thank you for sharing this information Claire and Mr Müller.
This video shows why tarps are such great shelters, they can adapt in so many ways that a tent can't. The only big down side to me is in summer when insects can get in easily and I don't like wearing a head net. Also glad to hear you're healing up nicely.
They're so versatile aren't they! I'm with you on the bugs though.. had a couple of slugs in my hair over the years 🤢 always use the bug net now, thankfully it doesn't bother me. Thank you, have a lovely week :)
I broke down and purchased a net inner with bathtub floor to use with a tarp to keep the bugs out. It only weighs 0.35kg - about what my tarp does, and I've been fine with it. Cost me $22 USD at the time.
@@chalion8399 got a link?
@@NikosKatsikanis Not anymore. The ebay auction I purchased it from is no longer working. It was a (used, like new) OneTigris Mesh Inner Tent 02 (2 person), but I see those are going for up to $75 USD.
Claire thank you for this peaceful video with your tarp shelter. It looked cozy and comfy. Glad you had a wonderful and safe trip. Have a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family if you celebrate it. Look forward to seeing you out and about in the beautiful countryside. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks for sharing it with me Terry :D we don't celebrate thanksgiving here in the UK but autumn is my favourite season 🍁🍂🧡 you too, have a great week :)
@@WildBeare , autumn is also my favorite time of the year. The colors are so beautiful and the autumn smell is so wonderful. Have a wonderful week.
Always fun camping out with Wild Beare❤
Good to see you doing a bit of cooking. I like this kind of camping videos. Thanks for sharing.
I’m finding your videos to be little pieces of perfection. So informative and positive.
I watch your videos, and you do things I wouldn’t imagine doing. Bears are so much part of the consideration here in northern Canada; I could never cook in my tent. I’d be inviting mayhem. Mosquitoes are also ever-present, so the open spaces between the parts of the tarp tent would make life in the tent difficult. The peace you have camping is wonderful. I’m glad you share the experiences you have!
I was wondering that too! "Where are the black flies? Where are the noseeums? Where are the mosquitoes?" One reason I like winter camping -- no bugs!
Nice work Claire, that’s a fantastic tarp set up, once I’m able to be out camping again my first camp is going to be giving this/your setup a go. So refreshing watching what you do. Take care off that ankle, supports/straps are great but your joints get dependent on them so try not to use them all the time if you do. All the best 👍💪
Watching this is the 2nd best thing to being out there myself. Much appreciation!
I LOVE DD tarps. It's amazing what you can do with a tarp that size, and amazing how light and compact they squeeze down. Thanks for showing what you can do with it!
I consider myself a pretty good tarp-er. I used to ground sleep under a tarp all the time. Now I just use them over my hammock most of the time. But I never saw (or thought of) this set up. It's awesome and roomier than the fully enclosed set up I know. Thank you for this.
it also means you need to carry less insulation than your hammock set up
This is awesome! I'm not comfortable with being exposed to the elements underneath a non-enclosed shelter. Most of the enclosed tarp setups I've seen are too complicated in my opinion, but this one is great! I'm definitely going to try it out next time I go camping!! Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much for your wonderful, wonderful videos. You inspire me! 🥰
Hello. Your videos inspire me to go backpack camping like I did years ago!
Like you, I enjoy tarp camping for the simplistic and light weight use of shelter. The set up you used for this trip was fantastic and versatile. But light weight tarps can get worn out after a few trips and though they are less expensive that a decent tent, I still liked to save my gear for future adventures. An idea you can use that only costs you ounces and little money on this particular set up is this.
Once you have the tarp staked out, have an old tarp that is no longer waterproof tucked under the floor of your tarp tent and fold it back over the inside of the floor portion of the shelter. Of course, have it a few inches from the outside of the walls pulled inside so rain doesn't gather under or in the floor of the tent. Fold it back over the sleeping area to help protect that area and it will give more life to your tarp. And it is easier to clean up after the trip is over. It has worked for me in the past and I will do it again in the future.
Be safe and enjoy your time in nature.
You may be able to perfectly hide from sight, but you cannot hide from the smell of your very tasty meals 😊 Smelling a steak in wilderness means Claire might be close 😂😂😂
Cheers Michael
Don't get me wrong. I like the idea, but the takeaway for me from these tarp shelter videos is that people are actually trying to avoid real tents for some reason. If you can carry a tarp, you can carry a tent just as easily if not more easily, and will likely be a better shelter with no open seams.
My tents are bulky and heavy. Tried using a tarp last night at a state park in Texas. Pros and cons. But I liked the tarp set up. I used the same one she did.
@@alltheangels648 I was thinking more of the light inexpensive ones. Something that will keep you dry and that's about it.
@@joewoodchuck3824any tent that is super light is definitely NOT inexpensive.

It can be supplemental. You don't really want to be cooking in you tent, and might just need some quick relief and a dry spot in the middle of the day.
Absolutely love your videos. Enthusiastic positive and freedom. Many thanks for sharing 👍
this is good .. this really very very good .. i saw many tarp tent setup but kept thinking about the bare ground .. thank you very much for this tutorial.
Anyone else here just because shes fit ???
🙄
It defs helps haha and she has a voice that you’d like to hear while camping and now I know another way to set up my tarp
Really liked that tarp setup, and that steak just looked great. How simple and neat she prepared it on that stove. Less is more.
loved this camp , what an awesome shelter , so simple but very efficient
What a brilliant configuration! I'm going to try this soon, looks perfect for when the weather threatens showers. Thanks for this!
I’ve watched a lot of youtube videos about tarp configurations and I’m out bushcrafting for at least 5 years but I’ve never seen this type of tarp setup. Looks really nice. I’ll give it a go myself next time. Greate video. Keep on doing
