Solo Camping in a Heatwave… Then a Dangerous Storm Hit

And I'm already so thoroughly soaked. That wasn't a good idea. Hi, my name is Sophie. We are in the middle of a hot water. And today is actually the hottest day ever recorded in Denmark in 80 years. It is extremely hot. But I decided to come out here into the woods and do some camping. I hope you will follow along with my development. Right now I am in a large forest area in Denmark. I have never been here before. It's along the forest. There should be a beautiful lake here in the forest, out in the woods. So I'm on my way. This journey has taken quite a long time. It's just extremely hot today. I am very tired. And the explanation also says that there will be light, water, and rain at night. So it's going to be interesting. I haven't used the best development for such a long journey. I wore a little summer dress and some flip-flops. But I really don't feel like putting on my heavy outdoor shoes or my high-heeled shoes. That's what I use. My backpack is a bit heavy. I have used a lot of water. The temperature is now 34 degrees. It's so wild. We have never experienced temperatures like this in Denmark. If it's around 25 degrees, it's the best summer day ever. Yes, it's really nice and quite extreme. I can see from the explanation that it won't get colder than 28 degrees at night. It will be the coldest. So it will probably be a very warm night in a tent. I had to put on my regular shoes. These flip-flops aren't meant to be hiked in. It feels much better. Oh, I can feel the wind now. I think I'm getting closer to the island. It's so nice. Although it's a solo camping trip I'm on, I'm actually not alone. Because I am green. So I think I've got a little plus one with me. I'm exactly halfway there. One and a half months to go. The children should be crying right now soon. And I'll be crying soon too. Last week I can really see that something has happened. It's just a little beautiful to think that I'm not really alone. These shoes are called Troll's Shoes. I think I understand why. Look at these trees. It looks like I'm getting closer to the shore. The foundation is becoming more and more true. It was a really long and dense height. I think I need to get into the water now. First of all, I'd like to tell you about the sponsor of today's video. Today's video is sponsored by Headspace. It's an app you can use to stay mindful and improve your mental well-being. I've used it over the past couple of weeks. I have specifically made use of their breaking. I think it has really helped me in my serious life. When I feel stressed or a little nervous. I've just pulled out the app. Discovered an evolution. After completing the development, I feel much more focused and relaxed. So it has helped me greatly in my serious life. I had hoped you'd do one of those short ones to break up with me. So if you find a good place where you are. I just want to quit the app. Then let's try doing it together. I hope it was good for you too. Research has actually shown that using the Headspace app for just 5 minutes a day. Reduce your stress level. If you'd like to explore the Headspace app even further. I can give you a 60-day free trial period. If you click on my link in the description. Or scan the QR code here on the screen. So it's actually two full months of free trial. I'm using the Headspace app. Thanks so much to Headspace for sponsoring this video. And to help me cooperate in my serious life. I think it's about time to go for a drink. It felt so nice. At the live site, it was cooled down by the water. I think I'll have to do it again tomorrow morning when I wake up. There are not many people on this beach. I thought it would be nice if it were wrapped. Due to the water. But I think everyone is just staying closer to the parking lot. Don't hike five kilometers through the forest. You are actually not allowed to sleep in a tent here on the beach. But all the forests I walked through. You can pitch your tent and sleep whenever you like. So I guess I'll have to figure out where I'm allowed to sleep. If I'm allowed to sleep here on the beach, in the tent. And hope that no one gets wild. Or if I have to go a little into the forest. I think it would be nice to sleep here on the beach. But I really can't stand the idea of waking up to some crazy people. It's seven o'clock tonight. So I'm a little bit crazy. And I've used a lunch box. Almost. I made a sandwich at home that I'm taking for lunch. With some ham and cheese and green onions. So I think I've got this one here on the beach. It was a really good sandwich. I'm just sitting here, looking out over the water. It feels so nice. But I think I also need to do something about my sleeping situation fairly soon. Some people have come to the beach to have dinner. So I don't think I can set it up here. But it would be nice to be close by so I can take a morning swim. I'll see what good places I can find for lighting. It would be really nice to set up the light here. But I don't really know if I'm allowed. There are still a lot of people on the beach. But I don't think I'm wasting anyone by fighting here. But I'm not sure whether everyone agrees. And I really don't like it when people go crazy over me. Or I think I'll do something different. Maybe I'll just try setting it up. It's 8 in the evening. So I also want it done before it's too late. I'm a bit of an early bedtime person, especially now that I'm dangerous. I get tired super early. And I think I can always say that I didn't know it wasn't lawful. What would you have done if you were me? So I decided to go without the top layer for now. Bare until the people swimming and having dinner on the beach are gone. I can feel that the mesh part only looks a bit more like a beach tent. And not like a tent-tent either. I think this looks good. What a beautiful campsite. But it's so hot inside the tent. I've just swum a bit, after inflating my sleeping pad and unpacking my sleeping bag. Maybe I need an evening dip in the water to cool down. I moved into the warm tent. There are a million little flies outside. I think it's more likely. I think there's going to be a storm tonight. It's actually news that a cloudburst is coming, I think that's what it's called. She is in Denmark tonight. So people are preparing while I sit here on the beach, in a tent. I hope it's not too risky to be in a tent on the beach during a storm. It's still so hot. Today has been crazy. The heat is really getting to my head. I feel that I'm getting a little bit smaller. I follow an emerging and declining sensation. Nothing else to do. It is a little after seven o'clock this evening. Almost all the beachgoers have gone home, I see. It's just a man lying there reading a book. The temperatures have been discussed a bit, and it's not that hot. It's still 28 degrees, so it's going to be a very warm night out here. I thought it would be warm here on the beach, but it isn't. There's absolutely no water, but I have a really beautiful view to look at, so it's nice. I've got the top tent secured, so I'm ready for this storm now. Now I actually think I should just go to bed. Even though it's just so hot. I've swum away from just sitting still. I just hope the temperatures will drop a little more at night, because it feels so awful. I jumped into bed, and I have swum. I don't think I'll be using my sleeping bag tonight. It's so hot. I have never experienced anything like this. But I'll try to see if I can get some sleep. See you tomorrow. Good night. Oh oh. The storm has begun. And I just caught a glimpse of a solution. Now it's interesting to see if there will be any rain. I don't know if you can hear it. The storm. It doesn't sound that close right now. Maybe I'm lucky then. I hope so. Good morning. It's been a wild night. There has been a lot of water, light, and rain. And now it's really getting hot. My boyfriend actually just called and said that in a couple of hours, the wind will really pick up. Oh yes, he was a bit scared. So it's sweet. It is now 6:30 AM tomorrow. And at 8 o'clock, the tide will rise. So I actually think I need to go up and pack everything. Oh yes, be moved. It's already barely standing, yes, it's almost not standing at all. Because I couldn't set the rules and unpack the packages, as I'm on a beach. So I think that when the wind increases... Wow, look at this. Yes, I wouldn't sit here when the wind is three times worse than it is now. So it's not the morning I'm hoping for. But I have to go up and out into this rain. Oh, just pack everything down. And go for a 5 km hike in the forest. And of course I haven't used any rain here. Because it was 35 degrees yesterday. So I had everything unpacked inside the tent. I guess I must go out into the rain. And the package fell down. I need a hole, a T-shirt, and my high heels. I'm not sure how it'll turn out, but yes, there's nothing else I can do. I got everything unpacked super fast. And I'm already so soaked with water. It wasn't a good idea not to use any rain gear. I now have to travel for an hour to get back to the car. Tell me about happiness. But I feel I'm going to do it before this mad storm arrives. I don't think it's the place you'd want to be in a storm, in a tent on the street. What a hectic morning. I didn't even get my morning coffee. Which is my favorite part of these camping trips. But I think I just should have been better prepared. I had planned for a bright and peaceful morning in the sun. Take a breath of the ocean air. But I think nature had other plans. I will definitely reset with some meditation when I get back home. I think my stress level is a little bit high right now. After this, my day begins. My meeting is still going well right now. Although I'm supposedly water and haven't had a coffee. I think I'm almost back in the car. It's just before eight tomorrow. The storm had arrived at eight. So it's good, I think. I don't think it would have been nice to be stuck out there in the tent. When the water had come back. And there's still a bit of water out there. You've come so far to follow me on this journey. Even though it took an unexpected turn here this morning. It would truly mean a lot to me if you subscribed to my channel. It will help me go on more trips. I make new videos every other weekend. See you on the next journey.
