re: Anyone here frequently camps in the woods alone, if so, are you a psychopath?

No, used to love it, want to do it again if I wasn't such a fat piece of shite.

Tent surrounded by piggies in Kisatchie gave meet some flashbacks to childhood...

A buddy and I were tent-camping along The Wild Azalea Trail and in the middle of the night what I assume was a wild horse galloped right by our tent. The ground was shaking, startled the hell out of us.

They do have wild horses in Kisatchie, you assume right. I’ve seen them

That is different than camping in the woods alone.

I grew up in the swamp and not scared of the woods but might be too pussy to camp alone.

You're not scared of the woods but also too scared to sleep in the woods? lol what?

I open carry a pistol when camping. Other people are my concern too. I would camp well off trail.

Same here, I don't trust the humans

I like to search around and find other people camping and then when they aren’t looking, i put raw meat by their tents so it attracts bears and other predators

It’s amazing how simple it is to make hikers go missing by just letting nature take care of it for you

Only thing scary was some drunk guys came and were making a fire and pouring gas on it

some drunk guys slept under our porch once in NOLA when I was growing up

It was only for a few nights and then they moved on

I don’t think I’d camp in the woods by myself. I don’t really like to stay in a hotel by myself.

I couldn’t do it. First of all I’m not a big guy so carrying the supplies would probably kill me. So the tent would be very small, and I’d feel like something was standing there next to me outside of the tent. It all just sounds awful. I might do a canoe float type camping trip. That would eliminate the heavy gear problem.
