- This was a slightly mad tarp camp in heavy rain and 45km per hour winds. While the weather was questionable, this mountain lake surrounded with beautiful forest was absolutely magical 😍
I’m so impressed how my bivi bag did, despite all the water coming in and sleeping in a puddle, I stayed completely dry all night
The tarp tent configuration continues to amaze me how sturdy it is - you can learn this config here: • How To set up a Tarp T...
❗ SAFETY: Never use a tarp as your only source of shelter in bad weather - also bring a bivi bag to keep your sleep system dry in case the tarp fails
Thank you so much for watching & have a lovely day! 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

Hello Wild Ones! Thanks for stopping by this slightly mad lil vid :) Remember if you're gonna try tarp camping in bad weather, always use some form of bivi bag too. It can be fun to test gear & skills if you're comfortable to do so, but never risk hypothermia - your sleep system and overnight clothes must stay dry even if your tarp fails by letting water in or blowing down. It'll also keep any condensation off you during the night. Have a great week! Much love 🌿🐻 ClaireBeare
U r simply adorable n cute !! 😘
What size tarp did you use for your shelter I'm glad you managed to stay warm and dry with the water inside keep up the good content
Fff

Hello.please can you advise what make and model of tarp you are using ?
@@unitedtrailbuilders2320 thank you :) it's a DD Superlight, 3m x 2.9m
It's nice to see someone tarp camping in bad weather instead of sunny and dry or cold and white.
That looks like a real night spent in bad weather with a good spirit!
Thank you.
I know, right!
I've never been to the UK, hell never been anywhere but you sure find the most amazing landscapes! And the weather!! You were definitely prepared down to the last piece of gear and the tarp set up. That tarp maker should put you in their commercials!
Does anything stop you smiling and being so cheerful.
You are a tonic to watch.
Kudos to you Claire, I remember over a year ago when you had fer and anxiety about campin by yourself. Now being a seasoned wild camper who has done it. Yea! , you are bloody marvelous. Many many cheers & hugs , Sweetie.
Ahh, thanks Peter! 🤗 Hope you're having a lovely week :)
Brilliant videos, it’s great that you really get stuck in with all different weather conditions. What makes me interested is you actually talk all the way through what your doing, I can’t understand people that make these type of videos when they never say anything and stay completely silent. Keep it up I’m hooked.
Ahh thanks Paul, so glad you like them :) I love both types too, I'm sure they'll be times where I'm not so talkative for whatever reason but just gotta go with what feels natural at the time I guess. I do especially like quiet ones when I'm watching someone work skilfully with their hands for example. Thank you so much for watching my lil videos and hope you have a lovely eve :D 🌿Claire
A decent bivvy bag is a life saver. I was in the army on exercise in Poland when my motorcycle broke down in the middle of nowhere. As it was the start of the main battle manoeuvre I wasn't going to be recovered for 24 hours. As you probably guessed it absolutely honked it down. Fortunately I had a tarp and my bivvy bag. It was the first uninterrupted 8 hour sleep in 6 weeks!
Hello Claire...l had an experience somewhat similar to yours, about 25 years ago.
I remember that camping trip as if it was only last season. It is true that the trips that seemed the most horrible at the time, become the most memorable and fantastic as the memories age.
You are a true outdoors person, good onya!
Well totally barking, but you are out there which is more than I am ! - cool !
Hi Clare. Found your channel a couple of months ago and am really impressed with the way you challenge and push yourself on these adventures. So much fun watching you learn new skills. Keep it up and carry on enjoying life and our wild places.
Hi Mal, thanks so much and welcome to my lil channel :) yehh I love to learn and gain experience, one day I might catch some nice weather 😄 have a lovely weekend! 🌿Claire
Just watched a few of your videos . This one when you used the tarp I tend to put my sleeping bag in my bivi bag so not to get it wet (old army trick) .like you show your progress keeping it all simple & achievable
Claire, you are an absolute breath of fresh air. Nothing phased you and that is a wonderful gift to have. No matter the elements you have that can do attitude. It's an absolute pleasure and a joy to watch. Life is for living and you are certainly doing it. Oh and did I say great camp set up. Amazing video and as always thanks for sharing and stay safe.
An excellent video, Claire, thank you. It shows once again how useful a tarp can be as an adaptable shelter, even in very nasty conditions. Good thing that you had a decent bivi bag and some dry bags with you!
Hey Paul, aw thank you, still surprises me how rock solid a tarp tent is, and the bivi bag deffo saved the day :D thank you so much for watching and hope you have a lovely weekend :) 🌿 Claire
What kind of Bivi bag do you use??
Yay... the drone has also returned!!! Always, always enjoy these lil adventures Claire, 👍
Yayy Bilbo the drone is in the house :D I'm loving flying again, hope this one lasts a while 😬😄 Thank you so much for watching and hope you have a lovely week :) 🌿Claire
What a spot to tarp camp, if the weather was better. Good in ya though Claire 😉
So many camp memories just like that...You're a trooper Claire!
A lot of time,work, and effort making these videos.Great getting comfy-cosy in these conditions and you just can't beat rain on canvas to fall asleep to (but not wake up to).
Super nice.
Yehh it's good stuff a bit of rain on the tarp :) maybe not laying in it so much 😄Thanks for stopping by :) Claire
Being in Snowdonia I was surprised to hear you say it was February, it looked like July 😀, it's great to see someone show how it is in bad weather, and how good preparation can make a bad situation quite comfy, I always advise people who have never camped in any way in a bad situation do it in a safe environment for the first few times, camp next to the car or very close, if it goes wrong safety is close by, just bail to the car and sort it out in the morning.
And then do it again until you are comfortable with your setup, then you can go on a journey knowing if the weather turns bad it's not a problem,
Take care, big hugs to North Wales, ❤☕
Nige.
Hey Nige! I agree, that's great advice, I often still do this myself when trying out new things (staying fairly close to the car in case I need to bail). Haha yeh, to be fair it seems to look like this in Snowdonia whenever I go 😄😄 thanks so much for watching and have a lovely eve 🌿Claire
You are such a joy to watch. So pleasant to “be around“. ✌🏽
Ahh yay, thank you so much 😊🤗 have a lovely weekend!
Wow that looks so cozy. I love the sound of the rain on the tent.
Me too :)
Brings back memories as a forestry volunteer, fire fighting in Canadian Rockies back in the early 70's. Sleeping in our clothes for days on end, and rain / snow trapped. Waiting for the weather to clear 😀
We had puddles appearing over night by a river and it wasn’t even raining. Luckily they stayed away from our tents. One of the hazards of camping near water I guess. I wouldn’t have been happy in that situation so well done for sticking with it. Great video. 👍
Mm yeh, seemed to be coming up from below. Thank you, I was quite happy in my bivi bag although it was a bit awkward trying to do everything else like lean over to cook dinner while balancing on it 😄Thanks for watching and have a lovely eve :) 🌿 Claire
Done a lot of camping trips in the rain 🌧 but only ever used my Tarp as an extension to my tent so I can sit out and enjoy my coffee and cook etc , but as I camp using my motorcycle to carry everything I don’t have to worry about weight I really enjoyed your vlog interesting to see how you use the tarp I’ve learned a good little tip there thanks 🙏
Aw great, glad you enjoyed it :) Funny you should mention as in my next video I'm using a small tarp over my tent in this way. Made it much easier to cook in the rain. Have a great week and happy camping! 🌿Claire
Brings up memories! I love to sleep in a tent outside in storm and rain. Makes me feel more real me. Always take care of your feet and beware of cystitis (my former girlfriend had it, when we were out and it was brutally painfull!) Greets from germany (yeah, I know, we are much to direct, dont take it bad)
Well, that looked fun. Thought camping was meant to be fun. Suppose you have to rise above the bad weather and just enjoy the experience. As long as you enjoyed yourself, that’s what matters. Thanks for the vid Claire. You really are an inspiration to us who might think twice about doing this sort of thing. Take good care of yourself. Look forward to watching more.
Now that was definitely some wet and wild weather there for sure! Your tarp setup (as well as yourself of course) definitely handled it all very well though. I must say that I have been enjoying your videos immensely since recently discovering your channel! Consider me a new subscriber :)
Heyy aw yay, welcome to my li channel :) thanks so much and hope you have a lovely weekend 🌿Claire
@@WildBeare You're more than welcome Claire :) I hope that you have a lovely weekend as well. Cheers... -John
Uau, que floresta exuberante e bonita e que perrengue o mau tempo te fez passar Claire, alias você esta se tornando uma especialista em acampar com tempo ruim, sempre se sobressaindo com sua resiliência, seu belo sorriso e auxilio de seus equipamentos de camping, muito bom.
E isto, obrigada por compartilhar este vídeo e mantenha-se segura e agasalhada.
Oi Alexander, muito obrigada, eu tenho um monte de mau tempo mas pode ser uma boa experiência :) Tenha um bom dia 🌿Claire
Wow the cinematography in this video is the best I've seen on CZcams, and I watch a lot of wild camping videos. Well done!
My brother and I did a trip here in the US that ended up with a constant soaking rain like what you experienced. I'm impressed with how well that bivi bag did sleeping directly in water. I'm still a fan of hammocking, but a better drybag system is definitely a must.
I tend to avoid setting up directly next to the water when possible as the air is more damp.
If you build a "lip" or something similar on the uphill side of the ground cloth the water will pass under it rather than over it. No bivvy needed that way.
Then again, I prefer a hammock under a tarp when flooding is likely.
Wet lands need to be avoided always, look to the high ground/mounds
I love rainy days. They are the BEST!
Thanks for the video!! I always sleep well in the rain 🌧 stay warm and safe !! Just puddles love it !!
What a challenge. Good to see that the tarp 'cave' can stand up to those conditions. Loved the drone footage too! Thank you Claire for taking us on another good adventure.
Thanks Catherine, the tarp tent always amazes me what it can hold up to :) and nice to be flying a drone again, hopefully this one will last a bit longer than the previous haha 😬Thanks so much for watching and have a lovely eve! 🌿💚 Claire
Great video Claire. I was planning to go for a cheeky wild camp close to my home in the Surrey Hills on Saturday night (first of the year), but the weather is looking awful. You’ve reminded me watching this how much I love it but also how wet, wet can be! I’ll give it a miss and maybe stay in the warm and dry instead. Keep up the great videos and all the best.
Hi Mike, yep I don't blame you at all 😄Hope you have a cosy weekend, and happy adventuring for when you fancy getting out again :) Thanks so much for watching my lil vid & have a lovely eve 🌿Claire
At least you stayed dry. That's what I would call mushy ground. Thanks for sharing and stay well. Love the way you say Water!
Nice as usual, even if it was raining. Being warm and dry makes it so much easier to enjoy the scenery.
Oh, Claire!
Such a beautiful and dreamy forest.!
Thanks for the ride.
Hi Lillian, isn't it gorgeous! 💚 Such a magical place. Thank you so much for coming along with me :) 🌿 Claire
Great videos always. I love the tarp tent setup. Its roomy and holds up to a lot of weather. Great use of dry bags too.
Your videos are always fun,enjoyable and quite relaxing.
I use a different groundsheet to you. I use one of the triple layer emergency blankets that's 5x7 foot, silver on one side, green on the other. I've never had water seep through it like yours did. They are only about £10-£15.
Heyy, thank you so much :) They're so roomy aren't they! I think I'm gonna try a suspended one next time so that I can loose the centre pole, be like a palace :D
Just had a look at those triple layer emergency blankets, they look fab!! I've never had an issue with my current one til now, while it's fine on most ground it's not completely watertight apparently 😄 I might try one of those thank you
Cheers for stopping by and hope you have a lovely weekend :) 🌿Claire
Its raining and everything's filling up with water. Sounds like heaven. I'm jealous.
I have to say, watching you pack up made me want to go out in the rain. Lovely little trip! Beautiful lake and woodland. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much, glad you liked it :) 🌿have a great weekend
The way you stay so positive in such wet conditions 👍🙂
Thanks ☺
I've had a few nights where I ended up sleeping in a puddle, not fun at all. Luckily every time was in the summer so I didn't freeze to death. If something happened like that in sub 60F weather, I'd honestly pack up and go home.
Yeh it would have been disastrous if I didn't have the bivi bag.. I'm pretty sure I could sleep in a bath in that thing and stay dry 😄
Just found this video. I have to say your strong positive attitude toward the adverse conditions is inspiring & contagious. I thoroughly enjoyed this video & look forward to exploring more of your posts. I’ll be binge watching your videos over my morning coffee for the next several days. Very well done.
Hi Tim! Aw yay that's great, hope you like them and have a wonderful weekend :) 🌿Claire
you are a star for showing people they can live simply and happy,love your rainy days,so relaxing,keep going and be safe,:*)
Claire, your videos are so enjoyable. Love the music, the beautiful scenery, and the creative things you try.
Aw yay thanks so much Dan :) so glad you like them, I love to film them and put them together. This was such a beautiful place, despite the weather 😄Have a lovely eve! 🌿Claire
How joyful is that intro! The puddle you see once you remove the tarp is crazy, such a nice location though, if it wasn't so wet, would you have had a dip? You never stop smiling! Great camera work and music too🤘🏞💪
Hi Paul! Ahh yay glad you like the intro, I loved putting that together :D Yehh it was pretty soggy! Seemed to be coming up from below. I was planning on having a dip for this one but was put off by the wind, it would have been unpleasant afterward the way it was blowing about. I deffo would have if it had been still, even in the rain would have been lovely, since I was already drenched wouldn't have made much of a difference haha. Thank you so much for watching and hope you have a lovely eve :) 🌿Claire
So much water, so much water, it's the land of water where you live, I get chills. Que d'eau que d'eau , c'est le pays de l'eau ou tu habite , j'en ai des frissons .
"Unless you're a maniac" 😄
Beautiful British weather! lol
Aloha Claire, wow man, good job you can swim, haha. That was a rainy old adventure. Just goes to show that whatever the weather you can still have super fun and enjoy the outdoors. Your tarp held up fine, no worries, very impressive. Thank you for these vids, they show us there is fun and adventure to be had everywhere at anytime. Take care and be well, Aloha, Simon from Bristol xx
Hey Simon! Ahh thanks :) good ol' tarp tent has never let me down yet, seems to be able to take a bit of weather, which still surprises me for a square piece of fabric. I do enjoy the bad weather but I'm also hoping one of these days I'll get a nice weather trip, a sunset or something like that. I swear they exist because I've seen photos 😄 Thank you so much for watching my lil vid. Hope you're good and having a lovely week :) 🌿Claire
Aloha Claire, yeah sunsets do exist, i too have seen lovely pictures, haha. Hopefully won’t be that long until the warmer weather shows it’s face. Should be some great times ahead, and as you have shown us they can be found anytime anywhere, just get out in the woods and there you go. Thanks for the reply. Have a great week, Aloha, Simon xx
Wow, so brave to tackle that weather. Good for you Claire. Such an inspiration to us learners 👍👏
Aw thank you Dave, it was good fun and the bivi bag saved the day :D thanks for watching & have a lovely weekend :) Claire
I've done over 40 wilderness canoe and kayak trips in the Candian north. For years I led students out on 5-day canoe trips. Everone is happy and upbeat when the weather is warm and sunny. Sustained bad weather however shows another side to a person's character. You certainly would have been a welcome addition to our camping groups. Well done!
You always take the bad with the good with a smile Claire, and deal with it all, so good on you.
Aw thank you Arthur ☺ Hope you're having a wonderful week
1st🤘🦡🦡🦡
You are such a trooper , well done and thanks for letting us share this from the warmth of our homes
Thanks so much Dave :) have a great week! 🌿Claire
Your videos are so real and refreshing. I can't wait to be out in the wild again.
Ahh thank you so much, hope you get out soon :) 🌿
Young lady you are an inspiration. Watching your videos takes my mind of my other halves illness. Thank you x
I’m physically not capable of doing this now after having an enjoyable life being outdoors with all my hobbies ,but I really enjoy watching your energy and enthusiasm, you are a star and pretty as well 💯keep up the good work 👍👏👏
Beautiful Lady who knows how to camp. Beautiful scenery captured so well. Showing us that it doesn’t have to be blue skies and sunshine in order to have a great hiking/camping event. Thank you for taking us along.
Aw yay, thanks so much Steve I'm glad you liked it :) yeh if I waited for beautiful weather I'd never get out 😄 thanks so much for watching! Claire
You bring the beauty of the outdoors right into my living room. You are AMAZING. I can't get enough of your videos. Thank You for sharing
Lady Claire I am so impressed with you. You don't let things bother you. You just deal with everything and stay calm. You've made me a better Bushcrafter in terms of keeping a good attitude and enjoying every moment. I salute you from Florida! 🤗 🌹
Ahh thanks Richard :) I do enjoy the challenging ones 🤗 Hope you have a lovely weekend, and best wishes from England (and Wales!) 🌿Claire
What an experience for yourself. Another great adventure Claire and a great job with the tarp tent. Nice to see it stand up to the elements. Tarp tents are amazing in spring/summer. Looking forward to your next video. X
Thanks Steve, yehh I love tarps, so much fun, feels like making a den :D
Looks like so much fun. I miss the opportunity to get out into the great outdoors for adventures like this. I’ll keep watching.
The things you do for us and being cute AF doing it! Thank you!
Lovely video Claire, thanks for sharing your adventure!
This was in my recommended cause I watch allot of rain camping videos and This is so perfect love it. Subbed!

Well claire you super star. You made it through the night again. Your video's are brilliant and you are brilliant too. Thank you for sharing with us. Stay blessed
Sweet Claire.... it's been ages since I've checked in and watched one of your delightful vids. Wonderful to know that upon your awakening, you were both warm and dry, in a tarp!. Nice video, my Dear. You have a most delightful way of letting us glimpse you and at the same time the conditions you are working in. Thanks for sharing, M' Lady. Best wishes.... Ax
Awsome vid, I love hearing the rain and wind when I'm cosy in my hammock, I must admit that was a brave move camping so close to the water I'm surprised you wasnt completly soaked. But it did look cosy inside! Stay safe and well 🤙
Thanks Lee, yeh it's lovely hearing the rain isn't it. You too, have a great weekend! 🌿Claire
Love your love of being out in the wild. Tarp perfect.
Thank you so much :)
You're not shy of a challenge girl, I'll give you that 🙂
Absolutely fantastic to see you flying the flag for the ladies and really enjoying the outdoors. Lovely to see. Stay safe ❤️
Adge.
Beautiful I love backpack hiking and camping wild it's so peacefull. I wish I could meet someone like you to share such wonderfull expeditions with sometimes I actually find such beauty in the outdoors or have amazing experiences with wildlife that I end up in tears wishing that I had someone to experience those moments with.... the sound of a river or lake when camping wild is just so soothing and peaceful it's why I'm never far from water or the woods when I'm out trekking 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hello Claire: Stunningly beautiful forest scenery! Your outings are always so entertaining, and nothing seems to dampen your spirit. Always a pleasure to see a new posting from you. (Even though this was obviously filmed in your living room...😉) Take care out there!👍👍❤❤
Hi Stephen! Hahaha nooo I can't believe you could tell it was in my living room 😄Ohh it's such a beautiful place isn't it, magical vibes there. Thank you so much for watching and hope you have a lovely week :) 🌿Claire
Another wonderful video of you being in the wild. Can I say, sooner you than me camping in the cold wind and rain, in a puddle. You are a star Claire.
Aw thank you John, haha yes it's certainly not for everyone 😄 thanks so much for watching and hope you're having a lovely week 🌿Claire
Absolutely such a beautiful forest 😍
What an absolute inspiration ❤️🙏❤️
Well young Lady you made it and survived the downpour and enjoyed yourself in the process.
Im from upper Michigan U.S.A and we get the rain and the wind just like you.
Some of my happiest camping trips where huddled around a fire and listening to the rain.
God bless and keep smiling
Love your Vlogs Claire, you've got so much energy and so determined to get to the paces in all kinds of weather.
I have just started watching your Vlogs from when you got your channel up and running.
I'm looking forward to watching more of your adventures this year. Take care. ⛰️⛺
Hi Martin, aw yay, I'm so glad you like them ☺ and thanks for your lovely words. Hope you're having a great week! Claire
Notice @Lord Lem above has copied your comment word for word
I would be so grumpy sleeping in those conditions and you look so happy and grateful to be there. Quite humbling. Lovely video. 😊
You are so compatible with nature. You love it and know it. And respect it.
Your positive mental attitude is unreal. Just got back from the watkin path today and had terrible winds wildcamping near Gladstone rock.
Super~what a cool sharing,have a good day!👏
Good adventure. Absolutely the sweetest hostess. Thank you.
Like many of the other avid outdoors men add me to thr long list of admirers who are amazed with your wonderful attitude and your skill set. After 63 years of backpacking around the world I decided to become a van lifer and enjoy the nomad life in comfort. I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed them tremendously.
Looks like great fun! Thanks for bringing us along!
Thanks for coming along with me :D
I am sending a virtual warm hug for your perseverance in such cases! Super video!
Courage, grace and competence. Go for it! Watching from very early on! Well done!!
Tough lady, love how you like the rain and wind. I used to go mainly in the winter with snow. It is just so silent. BTW love your hair ❤.
Wow that was honestly a very moist trip God bless ya. Glad you stayed dry it was looking a little iffy there for a bit. Be safe Claire
Much respect. You weathered it well!
You star! You did a good job putting that tarp tent up in those conditions Claire, you should be proud of that. I would be. I really love your positive attitude, seeing this really cheers me up! As always, looking forward to the next video.
Hi Colin! Ahh thanks so much, the tarp tents always surprise me with how rock solid they are :D thank you for stopping by my lil video and have a lovely weekend :) 🌿Claire
I love LLyn Elsi, tough climb up, but not too long, please go again in the summer, it’s beautiful. Thank you Claire, always inspire my legs to head for the hills 😊👍🏽♥️🏕
Hi Chris, it's just magical isn't it! 💚 I deffo hope to go back in the summer. Thank you so much for watching and hope those legs take you out soon :) 🌿Claire
Wow what an adventure in those conditions and you kept warm and pretty dry that was a result. Stunning location you found thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Thanks David, soo beautiful there isn't it 😍Thanks for coming along with me 🤗hope you're having a great week, Claire
Great effort ! And with a wonderful attitude ! So special, thanks for what you do ! Cheers !
Thanks Claire! I've had to abandon camp in the past.. I was woken up by objects floating alongside my sleeping bag inside my tent! You did a great job of 'glass half full' on this trip and smiled throughout. If it had been me, maybe my language would have been too colourful for CZcams! 😉
thank you for the extra tarp lesson,you can teach an old dog new tricks,it looked so compicated until watching your bonus video and you made it look so simple,thank you,take care
Thanks so much John, glad you found it useful, it's really simple when you know how :) have a great week! Claire
Amazing camping, the location is really beautiful, beside the river and also beautiful scenery, nice flight too, love it!
Thank you :D
Good video, when you packed up it looked like you were right in a puddle! Your tarp certainly held up , I was surprised that water came through your ground cover, 🙏😄🎩
U are tougher than many men I know. They all wud of packed up and went home once the water started gathering inside the tarp. Total respect to u for seeing it out in them horrific conditions.
I love hearing the rain and wind sounds on a tent
Me too :)
Another great camp Claire! I'm out with a group this weekend motorbike camping. Dry, mid 20's and a cool night forecast, can't wait to get up into the hills, ride all day, set up camp and relax in the bush...
Sounds amazing! Hope you had an incredible time 💚
