I think in remote places like this id day camp n cook n eleep some place totally different where theres more ppl. Its just not safe anymore. Elderly ppl middle age couples have all had issues just read the news. Its not just women these days

Not sure if it is your thing but get a hamdgun of some sort and a bright flashlight of some sort. Just a suggestion dont get get caught slippin you never know who you will run into out there in the remote wilderness!!

You leave the cooler out?!!!!? Where I am in the mountains it is NOT recommended to leave any food out, locks or not.

As a woman best to get a big dog World is not safe anymore

Women should never camp alone.So many women are killed every day .If you really want to go alone take some gun,knife for protection,pepper spray,I watched some men going camping alone and they were attacked at night or stalked by some psychos,maybe some escaped from jails.Animals like bears are very scary too.

Wow how friendly.

People need to just leave other campers alone, but men especially need to just leave women alone out camping or traveling. If someone needs help, then help them, expecting nothing in return, then move on. I can't stand predators or creepers. Generally when people are out camping or hiking by themselves, that exactly the way they want it...by themselves. Stay safe.

I have a tiny Fanttik air compressor. Love it.

Never go to an isolated place always make sure you can be seen and heard if help is needed. Someone is filming surely not completely alone... Dont be dangerously brave that mean dont be too trusting..

Get yourself a satellite phone

I’ve been there a few times but only with others. There have Been several murders there. You were wise to move.

Wow. Careful out there. Trust your instinct, and be safe.

Your dog is so sweet. Looks a bit like an Aussie red cattle dog (heeler) or dingo even, it's smile is like a dingo. 🥰🤗 best dogs EVER.

Thank you for sharing. This is my current biggest worry about moto camping and traveling. Other humans - Especially when somewhere remote. I've a healthy respect for wildlife and nature, but humans are... a different thing altogether.* My take most likely stems from a mixture of common sense, a hiatus from camping, wanting to get away (which is why I'm out to begin with), and listening to one too many "absolutely true and not at all obviously made up scary story videos". All this typed, I've only gotten "bad vibes" from a handful of people/situations over the course of my life. Knock on wood. I left those situations ASAP every time. It doesn't matter if I was right. On the other hand, I've also experienced irrational reactions to situations that may not have been warranted (and knowing that doesn't change the feeling, as by that time the ole noggin has already done it's thing - AKA flooding). Regarding a number of other comments, gender has nothing to do with it. Some of the comments come off as sexist (whether or not it was intended), which isn't kosher. Please be considerate. I'm glad our host covered this in the video and explained their particular situation so articulately and in a grounded fashion. My second largest concern while traveling? Much more grounded - Mechanical issues. Okay, all this said (yet again), I've met many nice, interesting and sometimes amazing people while on the road. There's just this underlying (mostly) subconscious primal fear about meeting a bad egg (or eggs) somewhere remote. Many concerns are warranted to varying degrees, but shouldn't impact your adventures (insofar as to actually having them or not). * I may have something of a "love/hate" relationship with humankind. Sour experiences can be cumulative and loan weight to "bad apple" axioms.

Better to feel safe! However, small town folks love conversation because they never seem to get enough.

I jope her and her dog will be safe on their camping trips.You might need a gps mobile if you havent one already.And maybe a gun for protection also I think shes very brave to be travelling alone with her dog.I wouldnt do this ever.Theres some nice and crazy people out there.

U wish, it must be one of your deranged fantasies.😮

Actually, out of caution, I would have shown the dude in my video. Maybe others have had uncomfortable (or even unsafe!) encounters with him.

She shouldbt be alibe in rhe woods like that to dangerous alone, be careful girl, be safe.

That’s nice of you to be respectful to the guy at the campsite you chatted with by not filming him, but everybody films everyone in public cause of cell phones, but I think if anything happened to you, you would at least had this person on film just in case. ❤

there is chance he was just friendly chatty guy but I would feel equally unconformable, like I'm alone you're a strange man i dont know what goes on in your head, just leave me alone and dont approach too much!

Rule #1,..always turn your vehicle around so you can drive straight out immediately and quickly.

Your holey shirt cracks me up. I have a bird who loved getting inside my sweatshirts and then picked holes so he could stick his head out. I didn't have a single shirt with holes in them.

2nd amendment allows the predator to become prey.

At least you said "its not just men" Thank you for that

Just tell them! Get out of my space! You don’t owe anyone anything!

I don't know, to me it sounds like the guy was just making conversation. This is the difference between men and women I guess. Men typically ask other men questions? Like are you catching anything? What kind of bait are you using? Do you frequent this or that place? Typically, I don't mind answering a few questions. Or firing off a few questions of my own. That's just how men are. It's like trading information, or expressing what you know to prove that yes I do frequent these parts. Often men will give you fishing tips or hazard information for the area.

You should keep a gun with you when you camp. There's a lot of weird people in remote areas and they seem to just show up. I'm a man and I still don't like to camp alone outside of an actual campground. I prefer to have safety in numbers when I disperse camp. Crazy things happen in the Sierra mountain range in California and pretty much every national forest in America stay safe and keep some protection with you at all times. Always have mine on my person while in the woods.

sorry you had to experience that but I know what you mean there's a unwriten rule and common camper etiquette that you have to abide by me my self I go camping for the solitude I've had to leave camp sites in the pass due to campers that just need to visit constintly or play loud music thinking there doing you a favor. very annoying we can just leave the area and hope for the best

We always have to be polite first , I mean we have to stroke their ego,,,

Tip when Camping.... Always park and position your vehicle towards the exit in case you need to get out of there quickly.

I didnt see you carrying a weapon of any kind to protect yourself like a nice walking stick or some bear spray. You should never allow anyone to come into your space because you cant determine friend or foe quick enough. Sorry guys but all women should treat you with suspect. Too many looney tunes out there.

I am female. I never hike or camp alone without a gun. That’s just begging for it, and putting yourself in a very vulnerable situation. I had much rather know I have it, and never need it than not have and being completely at someone else’s mercy….

The gut feeling is seldom wrong. Survival instinct.

I always back in, so my car is pointed into the direction, that I came in from. It's a good practice, to get into.

Probably checking to see if you're alone.... so he can attack at night..... a female alone should always have a firearm....even men as well. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

It called knowing their boundaries, and know when to leave people alone, some never learn this in life.

I’m so glad you listened to your intuition but I have a question….because we are female, we are more prone to be polite rather than wanting to appear rude. What did you say to this creepy guy? After he mentioned his daughter, did you just say,”ok… that’s it. I’m out of here” and start packing up while he was there? Or something along the lines of “I have to go now, I’m meeting a friend at another campsite. Bye!” I plan to do some car camping this fall and would love some ideas of what to say should that happen to me. 😊

turn it on it should show dots most modern refillable batteries come 3/4 charged for their health.

If the little voice in your head says something is not right, it not right. Get out of that area (

Never go camping out into the wilds and deep woods without a weapon a gun preferred, at minimum an 8" survival knife or machete. I use a sensor-activated intruder alarm and a garden solar motion-activated light too. I also have a couple of loud firecrackers that if I hear any menacing movement outside I light one up and shout "fire in the hold" throw it outside "BANG!!! things quiet down after that.

Anyone who doesn't think there are monsters in the wood should Google Gary Michael Hilton...

You should never camp alone,something bad can alway's happen.Hope you have a big gun with you.Stay safe!!!!!!

I think if you are in a city and someone gives you a chipper hello, it is not weird. It is being friendly. You don't have to say anything back. I agree you should follow your Spidey sense but being rude to a friendly person is not cool either.

similar thing happened to me this spring, was camping by myself sitting by the fire at night, some dude in a car quickly pulled into my campsite around midnight, couldnt see who it was because it was dark. It was a local dude who just started trying to have a random conversation with me asking where i was from and where i was going, I could tell he was drunk but i think he was just lonely. He finally got the hint that i wasnt comfortable and he finally left. First time i had to grip my gun while talking to a stranger. He seemed friendly in retrospect but it really put me on edge.

I use a Skoda Yeti. The back seats are removable I have it basically as a no build Mohair blankets are light and very warm. You can vacuum pack them down to almost nothing. The only downside is they must be hand washed but this is not a lot of work If in Scotland mosquito netting does not work, the holes are too big Midge netting is required

Ricky From Boston has a great story about a creepy encounter in the Ozarks.

You should set up a second chair and maybe get a pair of men’s boots or something and put them outside your tent maybe old pair of your dad’s.
