Say you're in the middle of fucking nowhere by yourself.

I would go about my business irregardless of which way I was walking or what I was doing. Who gives a rat's tits.

OR: make contact and work together like link related

Watch and make sure he's not a threat... or a Samsquantch. Or a Skin Walker. Or a Squantch Walker. Darn threatening Squantch Walkers.

kinda depends on the base line. am i in bumfuck norway or bumfuck afganistan?

but observe then judge maybe approach if it looks ok. like a guy going fishing, not a axe murderer

>>1027881

>>1027754

Is he... staring at me?

>>1027922
well that would be obvious since he would murder fish with his axe

>>1028037
Not necessarily

I go to the outdoors for space, if I see someone else I let them enjoy their space too

but if I see someone who looks like they are following me I pick good ground and act friendly
better that then deal with them at night or several days later

Why would a random guy out in the middle of nowhere threaten you? What would he have to gain by fighting you?

>>1028611
I'd much sooner trust a outdoors than anyone in town
but that being said you get some strange folks everywhere, I'd only me really concerned if I saw someone /out/ who was visibly unequiped for the terrain, because that's when mental illness and drifters come to mind

some people who are unwell just wander around like stray dogs

>Say you're in the middle of fucking nowhere by yourself.
There's no such thing as "the middle of nowhere" anymore. This is 2017, not 12,000 BC. You can no longer escape the reach of civilization.
>You're miles away from civilisation,
"Miles away" is a pretty low bar to pass for a given location to be "in the middle of fucking nowhere." Near where I live, there are lots of people who will leave their office chairs on Friday only to put themselves dozens of miles from civilization by Saturday night, and then be back at work in suit and tie by Monday morning - and not always on the weekends, but some people can take quite a bit of time off in the week, so it's not like these people you find out in the woods are guaranteed to be "mountain men."

>when you see silhouette of a man in the distance. What do you do?
>Would you approach the man and greet him, would you walk away and go about your business, or would you observe him with apprehension?
The answer is, like with most things, "it depends." Are you really "in the middle of nowhere" or are you out on the trail, or just off the trail, recreating in some area where people are known to go hiking or hunting? Is it private property? If so, whose and why are you there?

I mostly go into the outdoors to recreate. Therefore, my attitude is often to assume that the people I see there are kind of like me. I'll be friendly with people I meet on the trail, or in their campsite if the trail passes close to them - or something comparable. If I'm within calling distance, I'll often wave or say "hi." But why would I walk far out of my way just to say hi to someone when it's not like either of us is lost or anything?

That's not really true. Human life requires a lot of energy, and independent life in the wilderness requires a lot of highly skilled labor. It's not something that would come naturally to any old schizo off the street.

if he does kill with a axe, how can he be a axe murderer

>>1027991
Thunderbolts and lightning
Very very frightening

>>1029207
He could be an actual axe murderer. Like, maybe he murders axes. With, like, an angle grinder and fire.
