Camping Under a Giant Umbrella • In a Thunderstorm!

This umbrella made an unexpectedly cosy lil nook! It wasn’t watertight, so I chucked a small tarp over it (which defeats the object of using the umbrella I guess, but I still loved it under there). My first experience of sleeping wild during a thunderstorm was just gorgeous
⚠️ It's never entirely safe to be outside in a thunderstorm. If you find yourself outside during one, lose elevation and get to lower ground as fast as possible. Get away from peaks and ridges. Stay out of water. Stay away from tall objects in open spaces. Caves and stone huts may feel safer, but actually offer zero protection against lightning. Trees can be hit and can fall down, or be set on fire. In this case, the storm was always a few miles away and never directly overhead. This is still not entirely risk-free, as lightning can travel several miles, but it is safer than being directly under a thunderstorm. Your chance of being hit by lightning is extremely low - but it still happens

As a fisherman I have to say that I have sat under my umbrella in heavy rain and stayed perfectly dry. Perhaps a better quality one wouldn’t leak.

@WildBeare 7 месяцев назад

Hmm yes you're probably right, this one didn't have taped seams so the water came through. It would be ok for a light shower but no good in a downpour

@mental963 7 месяцев назад

Agree with third age angler, a better brand like Fox or Korda will be waterproof and you can remove the pole and use storm poles on the front for stability. I have one that is over 10 years old and still waterproof.

@felixalbion 7 месяцев назад

Agreed. I have had the same fishing brolly for 30 years and never leaked even in storms. But it has fully taped seams, reinforced stitching and heavy duty material.

@mx-0163 7 месяцев назад

I think this channel is better than a lot of other bushcraft channels because its more real. Things go wrong, sometimes you get drenched, and sometimes your tarp blows away in the night. Instead of buscrafter telling you how you're doing it wrong or have bad kit, its just fun mistakes and enjoying your time in the woods.

@mx-0163 7 месяцев назад

@bechris9959 I mean yeah. It's RU-vid. I don't think anyone is expecting to watch bushcraft documentaries here. Anyone who has ever done bushcraft should know that things go wrong constantly. This is more real because some of the things that go wrong are shown unlike other channels. That's not really difficult to understand I thought.

In fishing terms they’re called a brolly. There are actually high quality brolly’s for sale specifically used for carp fishing. They are capable of dealing with loads of rain and are definitely waterproof. Great to see that you try these methods as well. It’s always relaxing sleeping outside and being part of nature. Great video!

@@WildBeare : I holidayed in Rhodes a few years back. The air was hot and sultry, with the promise of a storm. As I was sitting under a beautiful tree at a restaurant, a bolt of lightning hit the ground about 100 feet from me. The bang was tremendous and I could feel the reverberation it caused as a shock wave. The staff immediately hustled everyone inside until the storm was over. When I returned a few months later, the cafe had pruned many of the branches of the tree I had sat under, totally disfiguring it. I loved that tree. Lol

I camped through a thunderstorm back in July. It was amazing! In my little stratosphere with a tarp over the top to keep it dry.

Thanks for sharing.

@MattieD 7 месяцев назад

best advice i can give for waterproofing ; thick contractor garbage/bin bags. Cut them along one side to open them up for larger surface area, and put them either under, or over your tarp/shelter. They are very cheap, but extremely effective. Best advice for warmth, as a canadian, Wool. Even when its soaking wet, it will keep you toasty warm. Anyways, I love you videos very much, the relaxing vibes, and the general happiness you feel when enjoying the outdoors is very therapudic, thanks so much for sharing it all with us!!

As an electrical engineer keep one of these in the car for when working in outdoor substations, when working on the switchgear you can pop this up over the top in seconds. [the one I have is quite strong so when tied down it doesn’t move in the wind] One of the things I like is that you can erect a tarp over it like an awning at the front. tie the tarp guy line to the center pommel and continue the Guy line down to the floor at the rear, and tie down to the side ground pegs, then lift the tarp up at the front. [in effect the umbrella becomes the rear and side walls of you tent]

i love these "unusual set-ups" they may give someone a nudge towards wild camping, i love how you put your videos together and keep it "lady-like" lol great work, i hope we have some nice late autumn-winter weather so we get to see more of your adventures, and lastly i hope your ankle is getting better and the brace is helping you, please take care of yourself. 🥰🥰🥰☔🎃

@WildBeare 7 месяцев назад

Thank you :) the ankle is a lot better thank you, it's not got much stability now though so I'm hoping to strengthen it up with physio over winter. Ohh I had such a beautiful autumn camp at the weekend 😍🍂 but ended up bailing as I got spooked by lights in the forest, bit of a shame but I ended up sleeping in my car under the milky way which was equally gorgeous. Thanks for watching my lil video, have a lovely week 🙂🌿🐻

I go carp fishing and sleep under a brolly all the time...it's a lot more sturdy than yours and is proper snug, even in a downpour. I loved the music that you played over the bit when you are getting the tarp over🙂

LOL. That's a huuge umbrella. Then the storm; reminded me of childhood stories about never standing outside in a thunderstorm. And never standing under a tree when the lightning dances all around. Gutsy night out.

@asaandthemarchharepart2903 7 месяцев назад

Brilliant one. You still would of thought a fishing umbrella would stop the water from coming through. Definitely was an amazing experience sat watching and listening to a thunder storm. Did you count the seconds between the lightning and the thunder haha. Wonderfully filmed as always Claire. Keep Loving the Adventure 💚

During thunderstorms I like to open the side door of my van and sleep at the opening. I can watch lightning for hours. Best storm I ever saw was camping in my van in the desert slightly east of Santa Fe. No rain, just a hours of light show headed towards me, but never getting to me. Second best was also camping in my van, but in my backyard. I never saw actual lightning bolts in that one, just continuous cloud to cloud lightening for about four hours. The thunder never stopped.

I once was camping in a thunder storm in the forests of Germany. With the lighting crashing and the thunder rolling, I sat in my tent dialing through the various radio stations on my short wave radio (this was before smart phones). I landed on a a station playing the 1812 overture, cannon volleys and all. It fit perfectly to the heavenly cannonande reverberating through the canopies.
