With a gun.

>>654669
I'll have a handgun and a rifle, but they won't help me if someone swings an axe through my tent into my face.

>>654670
So put some consideration into where you camp. Don't sleep in murderous hobo central.

>>654671
but thats what im asking, how do i choose a safe location?

>>654673
ask locals

that looks utterly ridiculous

>>654670
> axe thru tent wall

You'll need to keep your tent higher off the ground than that.

I suggest 30 - 40' minimum.

Obligatory Joop wave.

Pic related is mine. It's a little different now, but I got a 10k pound winch and a couple led's on the front now. Get's me /out/ real nice now.

Because it wouldn't do that before without a winch and a light bar.

Jeep fags are the WORST gearfags EVER!

the problem is the jeep not the owner. they look like fine off road vehicles, on paper the spec's check out but they're mechanically unsound pieces of shit built by a workforce more interested in reaping benefits and securing a comfortable retirement than quality.

>>654666
Sleep in your jeep if your not entirely confident where your spending the night. I've done western Canada in my truck. You get used to it pretty quick.

The third worldness of America never ceases to amaze

Exactly...Had to have both because reasons

>>654673
Situational awareness. If somewhere looks sketchy, dont camp there.

All you need is eyes and half a brain.

No one is going to fuck with you anyway
/out/ is full of paranoid vaginas

Sleep in your car if your so worried. The sound of shattering glass with give you just enough time to see the clutching claws and dripping fangs of your assailant before being taken to the void.

Some of us have jobs and can't stay up all night on Mountain Dew and Call of Duty in our moms basements...

>>654723
Lift's and taller tires make a larger difference than you think. Yeah most of the time one a subaru or a truck is fine, but a Joop can go over much hairier terrain than nearly all things under $10k. My joop in pic related as a 2" lift with 31" tires which stock are 28". Srs, having that extra articulation goes a long way.

What makes them unsound? Not sure what you're comparing to.

nice try but no so fast.

>>654666
If you're that afraid of the /out/doors, stay /in/side. I spend weeks sleeping in a bivvy on the ground and don't bother with carrying a gun. I've woken up in the middle of the night to bears walking through my camp and once a doe nudged me to see what I was. If you're such a pussy that you'd freak out over shit like that, you'd probably get trampled. Buy yourself a RV.

Any time you want, buddy... Two week one can challenge. I bet you'd go home crying after the first night.

if you can sleep near a light source do that.

have the jeep unlocked with the keys in the ignition so you can be gone in a flash.

try not to go too remote and stay away from forests.

sleep in a sleeping bag with the following:

water, food, your handgun, a very bright flashlight and a personal locator beacon.

be safe

>>655181
and a knife. forgot to add that. keep a knife in your sleeping bag too.

>>655176
Traditionally, it's a set of BDUs with the buttons cut off and a hunting knife dull as fuck plus all the supplies you can fit in a standard band-aid tin. You get picked up two weeks later, but you fail unless you're clean shaven, have a razors edge on your knife and buttons on your shirt.

>>655181
Basically stay in a Walmart parking lot with 911 on speed dial.

You fags are so afraid of the darkness.

>>655187
i didnt mention a phone you poof

>>655181
>keys in the ignition
So your assailant can steal your car instead of fucking with you

>>655201
go through the roof or something. at least have the keys in an easy to reach spot. trust me it could be the thing that saves your life.

>>655203
I know you meant good by it, but the way you worded it just made it sound really dumb

>>655212

bears are dumb animals like niggers
if you dont have the balls to shoot a fucking bitch mother with her cubs dead, then you can just throw some chicken at the nigger bear mother in exchange for one of her cubs and raise the fucking cub as your son

Don't Jeeps have a nasty habit of developing leaky differentials?

>>654666
SLEEP WHERE THERE WILL BE MANY PEOPLE OR NO PEOPLE
DO NOT SLEEP IN SHITTY NEIGHBORHOODS OR THE HOODRATS WILL GET YOU
DO NOT SLEEP IN NICE NEIGHBORHOODS OR THE POLICE WILL GET YOU
SLEEP IN 24/7 PARKING LOTS
SLEEP IN REST AREAS
SLEEP IN SMALL TOWN PARKS
IF THE COPS ASK YOU WHAT YOU"RE DOING, TELL THEM
ASK LOCAL OFFICIALS WHERE YOU CAN CAR CAMP FOR THE NIGHT

>>655294

>>655778
Seriously though, Sleep in your Jeep when justifiable paranoid(cops more likely to let go if drive/get out right then and there)

As for security, look in the kid toy isle for trip wire alarms, jerry rig better wire and pulleys for setting them off, get 25' solar powered motion lights/attach buzzer to said lights, for motion sensitive proximity alert/not in plain sight of course, don't be camping in the middle of little Timmy's MOM's favorite park/parking-lot. Think about what people will get away with in a given situation, cover your ass, good to go. Go to ultra cheap hotel/motel once a week or so for credibility for your travels/background checks/keeping locals happy(he's paying his taxes/not hobo)

>>655838

What kind of socialistic bullshit am I reading here?

>>654666
>travelling the western US next may in pic related. How do I keep myself safe at night?

You'll be fine.....anybody that sees you in that setup will be bent over laughing at you.

>>655838
Jeebus. Where do you live that you have to do all of that? It sounds like you're being paranoid as shit.

No food in the tent, that's what attracts bears, hogs, bugs, etc.
