Coffee in the rain under a tarp shelter in the woods - Woodland video footage
There’s something deeply satisfying about drinking coffee in the rain, especially when you’re tucked away under a tarp, surrounded by the damp, whispering woods. The world slows down. The rain patters softly against the stretched fabric above, dripping lazily from the leaves, pooling in the dips of fallen branches. The scent of wet earth and woodsmoke lingers in the air. Everything is soaked, yet somehow, it feels perfect.
"The darker the night, the brighter the stars; the deeper the grief, the closer is God." Dostoevsky’s words echo through the misty air, a reminder that solitude and stillness bring their own quiet revelations.
This particular morning, the forest hums with life. Mist lingers between the trees, curling through the undergrowth like something alive. The ferns sag under the weight of the rain, glistening as droplets roll from their fronds. A single nettle, its leaves heavy with moisture, leans toward the muddy path where footprints have already begun to fade. Somewhere in the distance, a bird calls—short, sharp, like a punctuation mark in the silence.
A lone figure moves through the woods, stepping carefully over slick roots and scattered twigs. He’s dressed for comfort, not convention—shorts, wellies, a raincoat zipped just high enough to fight off the chill. With practiced ease, he ties a tarpaulin between two sturdy trees, creating a temporary refuge from the drizzle. It’s a ritual, something familiar, almost meditative.
The gas stove hisses to life, its small blue flame flickering defiantly against the damp. Water, poured from a bottle, begins to bubble. The rich scent of coffee rises as steam swirls up into the cool morning air. "Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn’t calculate his happiness." Another Dostoevsky gem, resonating in the stillness of the woodland. The man sits back, cradling the warm cup in his hands, watching the rain streak through the air. There’s no rush, no urgency—just the quiet pleasure of being here, in this moment, with nothing but the trees for company.

The world beyond the woodland seems distant, almost irrelevant. Deadlines, traffic, notifications—none of it matters. Here, there is only the sound of rain on leaves, the weight of a warm mug, the deep, grounding breath of damp earth. This is the kind of peace that can’t be bought, only found.
The coffee cools, the rain continues, and the man sits still. The forest moves around him, as it always has, as it always will. He takes another sip and smiles. A rainy day never tasted so good.
