What do you guys think about when camping or backpacking /out/ alone?
Are you more of the quite silence and meditation person, just observe, or have deep thoughts?

All of the above.
When walking I look at the trail and the trail only. Tend to daydream while doing it if it's an easy path.
Best would be to be hyperaware of every step without other thoughts, doing it for hours gives a nice feeling.
relationships and other shit in my life I've fucked up
I'm in the process right now of figuring out if I am going out to actually meditate and fix my problems or if I'm just running away from them. I'm new to having a fucked up life

I spent 3 days alone on top of Anarchist Summit in BC. Half day up, whole day on top, half day down. By the end I was talking to the trees. I figure that's where those stories of vision quests come from. A day more and I have no doubt an owl would have told me the meaning of life.
Never had an issue being alone in the woods, but then again I'm very anti social. When you're alone theres no one to hold you back. You can do the hardcore shit with nobody around to object to it.
I'm relatively religious nowadays so I think about that when I'm out. Can't really help it most of the time, that's where I find my God. Feels good man.

Half day up 1 day there half day down seems like 2 days not 3

I'm in the same boat, anon. There's nothing more humbling and spiritual than being in the mountains. Let's hope this thread doesn't devolve into a fistfight between the atheists, Christians, and neo-pagans like it did last time.

A mix of using the quiet time to sort out all the human shit in my head and sitting there going "wow, animals are cool af"

being alone is immeasurably more dangerous than having one buddy with you
try and make a friend who is competent and relatively quiet, it makes everything better. Everything.

Fair enough.
I try not to think much to be honest, I solo camp to get away from the depressing life I have.
>>1051755
Only right answer. Time spent alone is hard time. Innawoods or otherwise.
Solo /out/>group /out/
Inb4 social fags saying it's too dangerous
It's the only time I can let my mind wander without having a panic attack
>>1052576
what about bears? surely being in a group is more safe than being alone
>>1052597
Yeah, but as a group you'll attract wolf packs.
I try to not think about anything
Not super successful at it though.
>>1051740
i try not to think about the narcissistic faggots back in civilization that ask retarded questions to feel philosophical
>>1051740
Shut up you hipster faggit, innawoods is for hunting, fishing and exercise. Not for your faggit deppression quest.
