You guys don’t actually camp alone do you?
-
just drink alcohol and/or smoke some weed, you wont feel a thing.
-
Smoke weed? That doesn’t make people paranoid at all! Great idea anon!
-
>being this autistic
-
>taking drugs
-
>still too defective to get the joke
spoon feed: the post is implying that it’s author is a forest monster encouraging behavior that would make harvesting the OP easier.

-
You’re dumb as shit if you actually think weed doesn’t make you paranoid at all. Try it yourself and see what it’s like.
-
weed gives everybody paranoia, you’re the autist here
-
Just take Snoop Dogg for example, he’s a nervous wreck.

Carry a 10mm with you. Almost all threats to you can be solved.
-
this is good advice
there is a good chance that whatever is being scary and angry outside lost theirs. tell them you found it on the trail and they might even buy you a beer-

why is he green

mega kek

I wouldn’t worry about it
-
Desensitize yourself. Go deep innawoods. Bring a tablet with The Blairwitch Project or something similar. Repeat 5 or so times. Congratulations you are now immune to woods fear
-
This might be true. I have zero fear of camping alone and thinking of it as super comfy. But when I was a teen I remember wandering around different wildernesses freaking myself out over ghosts and shit for no reason like a 24 carat retard.
-
-
I take a shotgun, it’s ok.
-
you gotta sleep sometime haha
-
do that thing people do and add a little perimeter of branches around your tent. youll hear when something snaps it.

smart, anon

I camp alone all the time and ive only interacted with two people in the 10 years ive been doing it
>a guy and his son stumbled across my camp while they were hunting deer
>offered them some coffee and they were on their way>other time a group of eco hippies stumbled across my camp
>mistook my snoring for a log cutter and hung out with me for a bit
>one of the hippie girls stayed for a while and ended up living with me for three years-
>one of the hippie girls stayed for a while and ended up living with me for three years
It’s amazing to me that things like this happen to people.-
Life is out there just waiting for you to experience it. You could be having these stories too friend!
-
ive read stories like this in the back of hustler and they were more believable.
-
-
-
Where do I go to find said hippie girls?
-
-
>scary
You do own a gun don’t you, OP?
Only reason I haven’t done this is honestly the boredom. I LOVE camping with the lads but anytime I get the urge to go out solo I think wtf am I going to do for 4-6 hours while its dark and I’m alone?-
They are banned in the national park I frequent
-
Carry concealed
-
The founding fathers are rolling in their graves with how much of a bitch you’re being to the state
-
They aren’t banned in any national park. Second amendment.
-
No they’re not.
-
I would rather deal with the legal consequences of shooting a mountain lion afterwards than be a victim.
-
If you’re in the US you’re lying, there’s no such thing as a gun free national park.
-
-
Unfortunately I’m an illegal and can’t get one
-
well then you need to go back to your shit hole.
-
No u
-
-
Good. One less thing you can ruin for the rest of us.
-
Ooo sorry bud, you have to go back! I’m sure there’s nice out where you’re from.
-
>illegally in another country
>won’t break the law to obtain a firearm for self defense
The logic.. -
Go back to your country shitskin
-
Get a cannon and larp as a woods pirate.
-
Every day you should feel guilty for making the country worse just by existing in it. Live every day knowing a large portion of the population hates you.
-
These corrupt politicians and CEOs cause more harm than immigrants do.
-
Correct, they’re the root of the problem.
-
While that is true, you should still be deported.
-

-
Welcome fren.

You’ll never be alone when I’m around.

Yeah, and while you’re hiding in the bushes watching OP camp,
>bo-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oing!!!
>It’s showtime!

I did camp alone in November and it was kinda a mistake:
>already dark at 7pm
>just lay in my spleeping bag and try to sleep
>can’t read book because I’m just too exhausted from day hike
>can’t do a big camp fire thanks to being in a shit and densely populated country with gay laws.
>bad camp spot with no water
>didn’t even had good food with me, just rice
So after 3h trying to sleep I say gently caress this shit and did a night hike back to my car. Took nearly 4 hours and at the beginning its stress me out like some Skinwalker is after me. I relax after the first few hundred meter and spotted a few deers. Its just better if you go with a mate.-
Having another person would have made the food better? The campsite have water? Protect you from slinderman? You’re simultaneously too tired to read and two antsy to sleep! Bet you don’t feel that way at home, when Tyrone could kick in your door at any moment
-
Not the OP. I’d love to see Tyrone try kicking my door in. Steel door, anti lock frame, big ass security screws, anti kick plate. While he is kicking away, I’ll be sitting on the other side a .300blk
-
-
>>can’t do a big camp fire thanks to being in a shit and densely populated country with gay laws.
What country?-
Germany, it was near the Feldberg. There was a few people in the area and people give a shit about wild camping unless you make a fire.
-
-
-
i wouldn’t worry about it OP, there’s nobody in the bushes watching you, totally nobody nope! nothing there haha
-
Sleep with your hatchet / knife under your head If you’re scared!
-
Where is he anon
-

-
Cringe

-
Missing 411.
-
Could you link some specific good to read stories?
-
I can only give you the recommendation of Missing 411: Hunters
-
-
-
they are
-
-
-
Depends where you’re going man. In some places the chances of encountering dangerous animals is pretty high. The day you come face to face with a grizzly or male moose you won’t regret bringing a gun.
-
I take the gun but it’s really for tweakers, illegal alien dope growers on public lands, feral dogs that some poopyholes chained outside until they had the good fortune to escape, bellicose poachers, all of which are more likely than a bear attack..all of which are preferable to ass cancer. Charlie gave her HPV ass cancer!
-
and I out there with a .45 and it’s really not enough for a charging bear but plenty for everything else.
-
-
If you run into me just say you are from LULZ and I’ll let you go.
-
Our code word will be sneed

Noted

-
-
You should be the one others are afraid of.
-
Haha, gun goes boom.
-
I get less scared of people messing with me the further from the trailhead I go, especially on trails that only allow transportation by foot, bike, horse. If you’re 12 miles up a trail, it would take serious commitment and planning from a psycho person, and often there is just one or two trails exiting the area, so they might not feel secure fleeing the area. I’d be more worried camping with a mile or two from a road or homes.
-
Got me dog
Got my 6′ frame
Got me axe
Don’t care-
Got no dog
Got my 5’7 frame
Got me dads knife
Don’t care-
Gonna take both your knife and your boy pussy. Be careful Anon.

I’m homeless with a cat in a tent living in a tent by a river. It’s not too bad. Kinda heavy with the stuff I have to carry to stay warm in below frozen temperatures
Just gotta be up and out by 7am
-
your cat has a tent too?
-
He does.
-
-
Hit tent has a tent
-
I’m thinking to go homeless and shower from the gym and bury my mat and sleeping bag every night. Trying to find an ideal hidden spot
-
>the gym
Or you could try using the bathroom for disabled persons in a shopping center during early morning of week days, they’re free and spacious and often very clean too.
-
-
Where do you keep your cat?
Is he a real bro that roams and comes to you every night?
-
-
My fondest memory camping is sitting in the dark clutching my rifle while some critter paced around my tent. It was in the Colorado Rockies and I know it wasn’t a raccoon or possum or skunk from the sound because those walk by my window every other night. Do coyotes live up in the mountains? I was at over 12k feet. I wonder if it was bigfoot or a cougar?
-
The secret to being comfortable camping alone is not caring whether you live or die.
-
One of my coworkers asked me this when we were talking about shit we do. She was definitely your usual "i like pizza and dogs" kind of female from the city. All sorts of worried about lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
I just told her that I’ve never had a wild animal try to pick a fight with me, and I’ve had a handful of drunk people attempt it. -
Hiking/camping solo is one of the best things you can do for your mind. If you’re too anxious, its a pretty good sign that its exactly what you should be doing.
-
as someone who has been extremely self sufficient my whole life i find camping alone very cathartic on a primal level. Some pics of my last trip
-
Exactly when I was younger I was afraid of going in the woods by myself. Now I’m 6’6 and constantly carry a machete every time I’m out and about. The moment it dawned on me that I was the thing people feared seeing in the woods gives me a strange feeling of security like I’m the largest fish in the pond I’m the apex predator and this is MY woods. It’s a really hard feeling to explain unless you experience it yourself
-
-
-
thanks for the advice i’ll try it too i feel like i have some shit i need to process and i don’t plan on listening to a therapist who only want to sell me drugs.
Also nice pictures anon.

Does anyone know if this guy ever wrote a follow up story?

>get bored and go to sleep
>wake up at 2am after a solid 6-7 hours of sleep
>can’t go back to sleep
>cold
>bored
>regretting the tripI think social media and the internet has given me ADHD. I struggle so hard at just doing nothing. It’s like a need constant stimulus. gently caressing sucks.

I bought a minivan took all the bucket seats out and put a foldable stand up cot and -15 sleeping bag inside i also took the passenger bucket seat out and i store my 10 foot fishing kayak inside i got my axe some firewood and camp stove and cooler. I would never sleep in a tent. Watched way to many videos on the internet of bear attacks that have permantly spooked me. All i have if i run into a grizzly while im hiking is bear spray and buck knife and if he wants to eat me well then im gently caressed they will never let me own a gun. Camping alone is the best thing in the world but i do get spooked sometimes when im in very remote places when its dead quite you almost anticipate hearing something very loud. Best to dessotize yourself over and over to get over that i would think. I would also just want to add gently caress diverse folk gently caress garden gnomes and gently caress jannies

I’m not worried if I have my sbr laying next to me.

A few weeks back i was hunting alone on a multi day trip for deer. Got a doe on the first day and was horny as gently caress so i decided to gently caress it. Was one of the best nuts of my life. I sent videos to a bunch of hoes on my snapchat and they all liked it. Kept the body warm next to a fire and went for five rounds that day.

Don’t want to be in my next book anon?

I followed a lot of the advice in here and went on my first long hike alone at night, deep into the woods. After I got over my anxiety and sense that everything was looking at me, or stalking me, or my sense of human figures in my peripheral vision, it was actually quite nice to spend so much time feeling utterly alone under the beautiful full moon. I felt like I was actually becoming part of the woods, not an interloper, and at some point I stopped straining my ears against the wind to listen for murderous footsteps, and I stopped hearing what I thought was whispers of human voices in the distance. It really does become comfy to be out/alone in the dark, and I have to thank you all for helping me to get over myself. All I brought with me was a knife, which I laughably told myself would be useful if someone or something had decided to set upon me. The only thing is that now that I am back, the world seems somehow slightly distored in a way that I can’t really place, and I keep hearing something that seems like fey voices at the very edge of my senses. When I look out my window into the darkness of the forest behind my house, my eyes play tricks that there is something out there moving, dancing even. I want to join them. I need to join them. Anyone else have this problem?

become one with the fellowship

>sense of human figures in my peripheral
> stopped hearing what I thought was whispers of human voices
> voices at the very edge of my senses
> my eyes play tricksIf you aren’t a larp—- I’m not a mental healthcare practitioner, but sounds like your anxiety and anticipation show up as the voices and movements see from the corner of your eye.
Any time I come back from the woods or vacation I always wonder why I bother with daily bullshit like work and other people. It’s normal to want to go back to the trees after staying there for a while.
-
>aren’t a larp
imagine.
-
-
-
I wouldn’t mind
-
camping by yourself is great
gives you time to reflect -
Any noise you hear is probably me or someone like me arriving late after some unexpected work shit.
Then again, I only go hiking every other week…
Save a bullet for yourself. -
Solitude in the wilderness is a fantastic thing
