You should really bring a buddy. Only experienced campers should be alone. If the solitude is what you want, then you dont need to setup near each other, but having a lifeline within a few hundred yards is invaluable.

Camping alone only boosts my thirst for people to talk to and a fast food burger.

Due to most people on 4chan having terrible social skills, we end up having threads about this exact topic on a weekly basis here. Here are two that are still up you can check out:

There's nothing inherently more dangerous or more scary about solo camping if you have any kind of experience in the backcountry. That said, it might help people give you advice if you told us where you intend to go and your personal history in the outdoors. The kind of advice given to a former Boy Scout who knows the basics but just never went /out/ much without a group is going to be very different from the kind of advice given to someone who is totally out of shape and was raised by television and video games but now wants to do a circuit of the Tetons solo.

I'll list a few basic questions below. If you want to answer them here, it will help move this conversation forward. If not, I'd still recommend thinking about them for your own sake.

>1) If you plan to do any hiking with a backpack, then what is your level of physical fitness, particularly cardiovascular? What distance can you run at a moderate jog without stopping?

>2) Do you have any camping equipment and what do you have? In particular, think about your sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent, rain gear, backpack and a way to keep the gear inside dry if it rains, your water treatment device or chemicals, and a stove (if you plan to cook or boil water for dehydrated meals).

>3) When/how many times have you gone camping before and how did it go? How involved were you in planning the trip?

>4) What is the general area and type of terrain where you want to go camping this time (specifics would be nice, but not required if you are afraid of people stalking you)? Have you gone there before with other people and do you have maps of the area?

>5) What do you intend to accomplish over the time frame you are thinking about? For example, fishing, distance hiking, photography, doing drugs, etc.?

I live in the hills and all around me are dense forests, big mossy rocks, alot of deadwood, big pine and oak trees. I wont post a map for the sace of annonimity, but here is a picture of how the forests look like here if its any help.
