Stealth Wild Camping under a Tiny Tarp in the Rain 🌦️

- For this wild camp in the aftermath of storm Eunice, I gave my tiny tarp a try in the rain. At 1.5m x 2.8m and 260g (excl. pegs & lines) it’s a dinky lil thing, but hard to get enough coverage to keep the rain off entirely, unless you have it really low (very claustrophobic!)
I had a lovely break in the rain at bedtime when the sky cleared and I had a beautiful display of stars, the Big Dipper right over my camp and then watched the moon rise through the trees 🌝✨
See you next time for a luxury camp in crazy wind and rain (shocking I know), with my tent, tarp S, Bushbox and some delicious fire-cooked food 😍
Thanks so much for watching 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

Hi Guys! What do you think the animal was? 🦊🦌I thought a deer at first but now I'm thinking it might have been a fox. And do you think the screeching noise later on was a female fox, or something else?
I think it was a fox, they sound horrific like that i had one a few metres from camp once making that racket for over an hour it put me into a panic it was so loud and so constant
A Fox.. but not me 😁🦊
@@Chechenwolf100 it was not a badger 🤣
WildBeare: It is the mating season for foxes at the moment.
@@StevenKeery I better inform the missus 😁
Always impressed at how Claire is so positive even in the grimmest conditions! Definitely had a chuckle at the drone 😅
Hehe thanks Leanne :D he's a naughtly lil drone 😄💚
Less impressive how she rips off another you tuber
I chuckled at "woke with a bug on my face....made a friend " 😄🤣
@@johntomko2946 who is she ripping off?
@@NeathVideos No one. John Tomko is ripping off every troll to have ever lived.
I love your outlook on life. 👍
Her video is nice, similar to my video.
Cool video. That’s a great spot. I really like how Bilbo went insane for a moment there lol
Might be the coolest Camp videos on CZcams. Well done.
You won't go wrong with an Osprey rucksack Claire. They might be expensive but they're super comfy and really take the effort out of carrying heavy loads.
Hope you get some sunshine on camp soon 👍🙂
What a lovely lady and a inspiration for more ladies getting out there.
Aw thanks Marc :)
Hi! I’m out in my backyard rain testing my new Coleman Skydome 4. 36 hours of rain, no leaks! I got this huge tent hoping my wife would try it. Last week I tested my new Lightfighter 1. It was dry of course. I almost forgot it was nylon, the sag in the wet reminded me!,
Very beautiful! Your little talks are very valuable thank you.
I’ve always said that I never feel closer to nature than in the rain. I think it’s the absence of people and the raindrops on my tarp or face. Another lovely excursion!
You and your videos have never failed to leave me with a big smile on my face, and a very chill heart. Such a peaceful journey each time. ✌🏽
Ahh yay that's so nice 🥰Thanks so much for coming on my lil trips with me :) 🌿🐻
At 2am whilst out in the open I half asleep reached out to get a buscuit from my bag and a fox bit into my hand and didn't let go until I was fully awake to let out a few curses. Lesson, cover up your food properly. 👍
"hes a little bit naughty" then he tries to chew up her tent...ha ha aha ha😄😄 that was very funny
Aw lovely Claire, what a fab vid! Bilbo is very cute and very naughty, that proper made me laugh! 😂 perfect name for him too!!
I so want you to have some nice weather! A tarp camp in lovely weather sounds much more appealing lol!!
Thank you so much for my little cameo! 😂 love that you’ve got my sticker on your hip flask! Perfect place for it!! 😃
Can’t wait for your next adventure!! 💕
He's so naughty isn't he?! 😂I know, it's a bit silly isn't it.. the next camp chucked it down the whole time too, even worse haha! 🌧It's ok though because I'm earning sooo much good weather. Glad you liked the lil cameo 😄 thanks so much for watching my lil viddy 🥰 looking forward to your next one :D have a lovely eve 🌿🐻Claire Xx
Gosh, that is a tiny tarp!
There's something special about tarp camping in the rain, it's like the right balance of being in the elements but also just sheltered enough.
What a fun adventure, thank you for sharing it with us!
Check out The Commons by Beans on Toast. It's a lovely, but sad song about the appalling state of the country's right to roam. It's amazing to see people like yourself spreading skills and knowledge to help get around this and to show that we're not destructive and do deserve access to our countryside and all it has to offer.
I enjoy your videos but something I've noticed is the ceiling height of the shelters,I was taught to keep the ceiling height as low as possible in cool/cold weather just high enough to shimmy into your space since heat rises and the low ceiling keeps the warmth closest to you,less draft and better rain shelter..enjoy
Great videos, I used to love hammock camping in the Peak District. I’ve been unable to get out for quite a few years now.
Your videos bought back some happy wild camping memories. Thanks. 😊👍
Nice video, similar to my video.
I just found your channel and I’ve been binging it. I dig your chill attitude and how you are willing to share when you aren’t an expert. I also like how you get our by yourself so often. I wish my circumstances allowed me to do that (even though I much more of a social person). Keep it up! Cheers 🤙🏽
My God, you are my hero. In the rain. Under a tarp. Can't believe it. Bad ass!!
If you want to further waterproof your dry bags or any bags get some white spirit and some ordinary clear silicone sealant from screwfix or somewhere, mix them about 50 / 50 and paint it on generously, hang up to dry for a couple of days. WIll be very water repellent. Dont panic about the initial change of colour, it will go back to the natural colour after drying
You always seem to make the best of any weather situation. I've only hike-camped a couple times in Rocky Mountain Park in Colorado - all my other camping trips (about 100) have been on canoe river trips where we can carry lots of gear. Having to pack extremely light and efficient is a real challenge.
Claire, your videography and your story telling are what makes these so enjoyable! Thanks so much👍🏆
Aw thank you so much Jimmy :) hope you're having a lovely eve 🌿🐻 Claire
Her video is nice, and similar to my video.
Love the nighttime soundtrack. Shite on the storm!
You are always so positive happy when I get stressed watch few of your movies and wish I was like you
Another stellar video Claire! It certainly looks like your tiny tarp did the trick and your stealth wild camp was successful and fun :) Your always upbeat attitude and obvious love for the great outdoors are truly an inspiration my friend! Cheers.... -John
Thanks so much John! Happy camping :) 🌿Claire
Nice little adventure Claire, inspiring me to leave the tent at home and get out with the tarp
Thanks Mr Bulldog, oooh yeh do it :D
Nice video, and similar to my video.
That is the greatest way to cook dinner. Straight from the sleeping bag.
I cracked up when Bilbo went rogue, so funny.
Hi, just found your channel yesterday and I can't wait to finish work tonight to watch so more.. watching your videos is giving me the confidence to solo camp some more 💖
Hi Lorraine, ahh that's fab, hope you get out there and have an amazing time! 💚🌿
Hi Claire, you made it to New Jersey today with your adventures and videos! Thank you for sharing positive energy! Stay safe and I'm waiting for more. Cheers !
Very nice video, and similar to my video.
Try using a large ex agricultural fertiliser bag as a rucksack liner. It can also be used to store your stuff (rucksack etc) outside your shelter at night. Check it for any holes which can be sorted with tiny squares of Duct Tape.
You need a hex tarp for camping. The 5 sides make the length longer, more tie off points while giving you more side wall protection. Square, rectangle tarp camping is emergency style from the back of your auto. I use a tent 10% of the time now since having a hex shaped camping tarp.
I got the Osprey exos 48 because I was terrible for overpacking so now if it doesn’t fit it stays at home
This is the first video of yours that I've watched, and the obvious joy you show at the simple things in nature is so inspiring. Well done!
Ahh thank you! Tis a happy place for me out in the wild, good for the soul 💚 hope you have a lovely week 🌿Claire
Her video is nice, and similar to my video.
That drone clip was so funny! It's great you add real life stuff.......
Bilbo does seem a little bit naughty! :) I love how you have names for all your kit.
Hi Claire, greetings from sunny Malaysia 🇲🇾. Nice little overnighter in the woods there despite the weather. Fantastic nightime shot of the stars through the trees 👍; have experienced something similar out here in one of my local wildlife parks, except it was fireflies and seen from a small rowing boat under the trees; an unforgettable experience in this increasingly concrete and brick world. Looked just like lights on a christmas tree. Keep up the good work with the videos. ATVB and stay safe 😷😎☔...it's still our rainy season out here
Hi Razif, ahh that must have been absolutely beautiful! I've never seen fireflies. I've found glow worms before but nothing like what you have in Malaysia 🐛 Thanks so much for watching and best wishes from rainy England! 🌿Claire
Hi Claire, what a cozy chilled feel this video has though i looked on with dred as i can't stand camping in the rain so being just under a small tarp open to the elements is not for me.
I'm so pleased that you have got a new drone after those deep fern's ate your last one, you should make a video showing us non flying folk how to use one as they look like great fun & the footage that you have posted before is brilliant.
All the best.
Heyy, yeh tarp camping in the rain isn't for everyone, certainly not with a tiny tarp 😄 Thank you, this drone is actually no.3, I lost another one after that first one was lost 😭 No.2 lost connection up on Glyder Fawr and whizzed off 2km into the distance before running out of battery.. sad times. So this one no.3 is second hand. I don't think I'd be the best person to do a drone how-to-fly 😂 I could maybe do a how-NOT-to-fly haha, or a how-to-crash-your-drone. Thanks so much for stopping by my lil vid :) Have a lovely eve! Claire 🌿🐻
You can't go wrong with the osprey backpack most comfortable thing you'll ever carry on your back, ag65 or 50 they are not exactly the lightest but they are just the best great video can't wait for the next one
Cool video and happy new drone.I think the animal was a creature of the night.
I enjoy your back to basics camping.
Yay so glad you like it :D have a great eve
I always use a much larger tarp. If stealth camping, I pitch it low to the ground, but still have plenty of space. Like you I like going out in the rain, so a larger tarp also allows you to reconfigure if the weather closes in. Love your videos by the way!
Yeh the regular size tarps are much easier in the rain! Thank you :) cheers for watching & have a great week 🌿Claire
The drone made me laugh😅👌👍
👍👍totally wicked👍👍👌✌🤞💖🙏😉
Claire, I am really glad that you mentioned choosing kit that blends into the environment. For people that live and work in the countryside, it is rare to see them wearing dayglo colours that so much hiking and camping kit features. In places like the Lake District or North York Moors (which my home turf) where there are many hikers but the sight of hundreds of people on the hills with bright coloured jackets on a weekend really is pollution and spoils the natural beauty of the landscape that those people wanted to enjoy. It is also a place people live as well and I do think walkers need to consider what it is like to live in place where hundreds of people walk every day within yards of their home.
The 'leave no trace' message is one that has sunk in with most people but I would add 'blend in and minimise impact'.
Hey Brian, yep I agree although it takes me time to be able to afford to change my gear to blend in more, it's the direction I want to take even if it has to be gradual. Although, there is the safety aspect in that it's safer in an emergency or rescue situation to be wearing bright colours.. I know that a lot of people wear brights for this reason, particularly in the mountains. Thanks for watching & commenting and hope you're having a lovely week :) Claire 🌿🐻
Another wonderful vid. You mentioned that you might be looking at a new pack. I think when you look at most 65L - 95L internal frame packs, you will find that hey run around 4-6 pounds. Yes, I am in the U.S. and usually look at things in pounds. If I got your current pack correct (Vango Sherpa 65), it appears to be 2.34 kilograms (about 5.16 pounds). If you look at many 65L packs, I think you are probably looking around 4 pounds (which is about 1.81 kilograms). And, you likely will not have the side pockets that you have on the Vango. So, what features you want could also affect your choice. One instance is Gregory Mountaineering has their Deva series (for women) and the liters are 60, 70 rather than 65, 75 etc.). The Deva 70 comes in 3 sizes extra small, small, and medium. Eah of these sizes affects the volume and weight. For instance, the extra small is 65L and weighs 4.66 pounds/2.11kg. The medium size is about what your Vango is in weight and is 75L. And the maximum carrying load on the Deva series is 55 pounds/24.9 kg. There are also other series (jade, Amber, etc.) by Gregory with different features. Also, I think the Deva series is one where you can change the suspension system. You will want to confirm this if you decide to look at Gregory. Osprey has of course many models as well. For instance, the Aura AG 65 which has three sizes (extra-small, small and medium) and the weight is 4.26-4.42 pounds (about 1.91-2.00 kg). And their Ariel 65 model weighs around 4.8-4.9 pounds (about 2.1-2.2 kg). A third company (and there are of course many more companies) that you might check is Deuter (Germany). They have their Aircontact Lite 60 + 10 SL which weighs about 1.9 kg (1900 grams). Now, their Aircontact 60 + 10 SL weighs about 2.4 kg (2400 grams). Those are just a quick three that I pulled up (that are not ultra-light). Good luck on your search.
Bilbo running wild is hilarious
a nice lean to with a porch is good in that weather for more height with a small tarp and bigger foot print and you can cove the back wall with twigs and leaves for added camo from the foot path.
so glad you have a new drone, i was gutted when you lost the last one the night you stayed in the small cave.
glad you are being safe in the wind un like some doing it for the views in storms.
all the best to you and the new drone :D
PS try to take only what has two or three purposes. Ex steel bowl/pot, lid doubles as a plate, stores dry goods inside and kept together w rubber bands. Only redundancies for ways to make fire (waterproof matches, cotton balls w gasoline/triple antibiotic to start fire in the damp).
Hi. Just watched a Paul Messner video and a top tip he used for camp cooking was that he used baking parchment in his frying pan! He cooked ribeye and fried eggs, he also fried bacon on it too!
He just placed the parchment in his pan (this acted like a non stick coating) put a little oil on top of the parchment and away he went. Worked a treat! it even charred the bacon 😀
Lovin the videos, keep up the great work.
Wow, that is a good idea! :D Thank you, hope you're having a great week :)
@@WildBeare my pleasure. Yes thanks, back in work (tattooist) after a week off with covid. Have a great day sausage 😀.
That drone!!!! Haha eating the tarp. Great video. A bit of comedy goes a long way
It was actually amazing, most of the videos of men i see on youtube is when they are in rain and survival situations, or they just show you how to survive or make a fire while raining. Here you don't have it, you just have simple camping without making fire or any decent shelter. The food is there, and she has also bottled water. Some commercial about dry bag in meantime and everything is fine, no danger, no helpful survival information, just chill. I like it.
Nice to see you nice hope you had a great time bit wet shouldn't let the wet rain 🌧️ stop you if you did you never get out long you had a good time end of the day stay safe and stay warm and stay healthy nice drone you got blessed be
Think you will find it was a Muntjac deer, originally from SE Asia but introduced into the UK. They are about the size of a medium dog and their call is like a dogs bark, so often confused for dog in forests. As you correctly stated the sound in the dark was indeed a fox, they also sometimes sound like screaming babies as well.
I have Exped dry bags, Claire. Been good bags.
Crikey, Bilbo went rogue there and nearly gave you a new haircut 😮
Hope he starts behaving 😁👍🏼
I used to take minimal gear on hikes, like tarps and bivvies, so I wouldn't have to carry too much. But I've realised that you spend hours at camp and for the sake of an extra kg or 2, it can make the difference of being really comfortable or a bit miserable.
another awesome program i like to see ppl enjoying life :)
I’ve just picked up the Osprey Kestrel 65 which is the blokey version of the Rook. It is by far the best pack I’ve ever owned. The selling feature for me was the ability to unzip the whole front for quick and easy access without farting about through the top cover. And they come in green!
I love your vids your hobby is my wife’s worst nightmare for sure especially when it’s raining 😅
I'm so glad to have replaced my gear when I did. The price of Cuben Fiber gear has went through the roof now. My 57 liter Zpacks Zero only cost 150 USD when I bought it years ago. It changed my life with its 260 gram weight. Now I can take a tarp and a tent.
I really appreciate woman that enjoyed nature and outdoors life. Very nice video as well. You might want to change a full covered tent in my opinion, just in case because you never know. Be safe.
Mmm chilli con carne whilst camping is the best 👌
Brilliant! Love it
Awesome video, thanks for posting, I can't wait for next one.
I'm so pleased I came across your vids.I'm full of admiration,and more than a bit of envy ! Carry on Miss.
Love your videos. Thank you for uploading.
That sky looked amazing...sooo many stars
Keep up the great work! Really enjoy your videos - they feel very immersive. (I vicariously get some of the same feelings watching you make camp, get the stove on and layer up as I do when I'm out myself.) So restorative getting out in the hills!
I am really enjoying your vids
Brilliant vid the animal i don't know but the screeching definitely FOX 👍👍👍😎😎
That noise was a fox having his way with a lady fox. They use our back garden for the same purpose.
Regarding ruck sacks, you should check out Tresspass if you've got one nearby. They have a lot of good value budget gear. I got their own brand 85L ruck sack last year but it's also too heavy. However, they also stock DLS stuff too. I saw one the other day in my local store, a 70L bag retailing at 70 pounds, it looked lighter and is a better design with ample side netting and side access. Worth considering.
Pleasant vibes. Love this chill af channel.
That was enjoyable! Loved the stars in the trees! Big Dipper, my Fave! Love your music score..! Had to Sub! Nice to see more ladies out in the woods! Assuming you carry some kind of protection as well..
I heard from other toobers about how bad that storm was...I think it came all the way from the S.E U.S.? Where I live in Central U.S. its been unusually dry barely any snow! Happy an inch today...then dry sunny and warming to 50's next week! Maybe I will work on some shelter ideas in my back yard...hmm. Thanks for a lovely little trip! Looking forward to more! Best Regards, Mindi
Have a look at Aarn backpacks. They are a New Zealand product that is substantially different to other systems. I have been using them for years and they are light, durable and very comfortable. Unlike other backpacks they are kind on the knees, hips and back as they allow your back to stay very upright when carrying a load. Cheers
I truely admire your willingness to routinely expose yourself to the cold and WET!! I don't like being cold and I don't like being wet and I especially don't like being cold AND wet, LOL. You have my admiration and respect, Young Lady!! Best wishes.... Ax
Always love your macro videography ❤
Claire, that tarp just needs to be a warm dry weather number, Thought it were a Shield bug probably totally harmless as herbivore, You are made of tuff stuff, I would winged in such exposed site. Felt possibly the ridge was to central, only! The tarp set up was inadequate, you stood the hardship, brilliantly. Been following Karen the tall beautifully hipped lass, Like you has got pluck.
Stay safe. Idea Set up a monthly tribe of Amazonians! Would work well. Managed by Girls.. Cheers
Wut a special spirit u r! Truly lovely. Special experience it is 2 share.
Always fun to see, keep going.
Love you...Claire ❤️ 😍
The tarp night in the rain is wonderful ♪♪
Magical, thank you!
Loved how you did that Big Dipper graphic. Thanks, Claire. 👍🙂🏕️🌌
I love the fact you use a Trangia!!!
Cooking while tucked up in your bag, the best cooking!
Nice little setup. Enjoyed watching. Cheers👍
Great stealth. Can't wait until summer, at least the rain will be warmer!
I've camped with similar gear in similar circumstances, though where I live rain is seldom courteous enough to come straight down.
Two variants I've used, both drier than the regular a-frame.
1) Lean-to style: (You sort of used this, with one side of your tarp longer than the other). Peg the downwind side of the tarp to the ground to block wind-driven rain, with the opposite end higher for convenience while sitting/cooking. At night, snuggle under the low side to stay dry (assuming your tarp doesn't bleed through on contact!).
2) Modified A-Frame tube style: Stretch your roof guy from ground (at the down-wind end) to a convenient high anchor at the upwind end. Tuck the wind-end corners of your tarp underneath as extra ground protection. Guy the tarp at the high end however high or low you like. The open down-wind side has lots of height for sitting/reading/cooking. At night, snuggle down into the 'pointy end (again, assuming no bleed-through). Depending on wind direction/conditions, some rain may swirl into the opening.
Both of these are effective in winter weather too, although blowing snow can curl over the opening and drift into the shelter..
Love your videos. You always find the positive in your trips when things are bad. Keep them coming. Love watching you
Aw thank you Stephen, I'm so glad you like them 🤗hope you're having a lovely eve :) Claire 🌿🐻
Nice. Glad to see someone out and about enjoying our glorious UK weather.
Yes, her video is nice, my video is similar to her video.
Wow, that's a big bag 👍
Hey, thanks for sharing the adventure. Love the use of the tiny tarp. It proves that any size tarp can be of good use.
Cool night. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Stay well and dry.
I am not just a new sub I’m an addict, can’t stop watching your videos 😂
Defo a fox. Noisy throughout Jan Feb.
I keep saying on Facebook groups, the decision to get an Osprey bag is the easy bit, the difficult bit is which one. 😂
I decided on the Kestrel for overnighters and the Aether for multiday hikes myself and very glad I did.
Nice video and yes you do seem to wanna be out in the rain.
Now instead of looking at the weather forecast to see if its gonna rain I now check you tube to see if Claires going out 😂😂😂
Awesome video Claire
definitely Claire beare is something special with that positive smile and scared or not she soldiers on . lovin the vids Claire , keep them coming 🏴
Music with the night stars.... wow crafty videographer aren't ya? thank you.
wow, what a experience
