I like to be outside and want to do it more than I currently do.

today I was going to try to stay the night in a forest park just outside my city. I brought a sleeping bag, sleeping mat, some food and a pot to cook it in. I knew that this place had a shelter (pic is it) so I didn't bother with a tent.

So I start the fire, start cooking, eat my food and then just sit there and stare at the fire for three or so hours. It started getting dark at around 21:00 and I started to get scared. Looking into the fire destroyed my night vision so I couldnt see shit into the woods when I heard a weird sound or something.

So I figure that I might as well try to fall asleep, but I just couldnt relax at all. First, I wasn't even tired and three hours later when Im posting this Im not tired. Secondly, the thought of not having a door to close freaked me the fuck out. Literally anybody could just walk up to me when Im asleep. Third, I read way too much creepypasta to be alone with my imagination in the dark like that.

So I said fuck it and packed my shit, put out the fire and started making my way back through the pitch black woods. I regret this because that shit was ten times scarier. Saw eyes in the forest, some weird-ass cloudy white shape that seemed to be following me and some hood rats vandalizing a school once I got back to town.

So, my question is: how does someone quit being such a little pussy in the outdoors?

Anyone else here as much of a pussy as I am? Or anyone have been but gotten over it?

Load up a pack with a bunch of shit and hike for 12 hours before making camp. You'll be too tired to give a fuck.

I would have climbed on the roof of the shelter and slept there.
>>
>>841858
Simple, its the same way you got over being scared of stupid shit as a kid. You realize your imagination is running free, calm down and then just do it
>>
>>841858
You do realize that anyone can get in your house with very little effort if they want to, yes?

It's like you want the skinwalkers to get you.

skinwalkers aren't the problem. They don't want my stuff. People who want my stuff are the problem. Fortunately I am prepared.

Take 100 mg of benadryl at dusk or right when you start eating dinner, for your first two overnighters. You're just not used to camping alone. You're going to be perfectly fine as a full grown adult in a trafficed camping area. Sleep with a knife close by if you need a security blanket. After a couple of nights in the woods, you'll have a realistic view on camping.
>>
>>842086
not nearly the same thing as sleeping in shelter with the fourth wall missing you dipshit
>>
>>842229
Yeah not the same, statically you're safer in the 3 walled shelter.
>>
>>842260
yeah but Im also afraid of flying although statistics says Im more unsafe in my car

people dont have rational fears

Well duh.
>>
>>842265
"Facts are shit. Never go by these"
>>
>>842268
Is that a fact?
>>
>>842266

Cars have more accidents per mile traveled.
>>
>>842302
What kind of accidents, fatal or just accidents. Because planes have a fairly high accident rate too, however most of those accidents are luckily not of the fatal variety and not usually reported in statistics.
>>
>>842266
It's not just that, cars are involved in crashes, and fatal crashes at a much higher rate.

Meaning if there are 1000 people in planes, and 1000 people driving, the 1000 people driving have a much higher chance of dying.

Of course there are more car crashes, but all things equal, cars are much much MUCH MORE dangerous.
>>
>>841858
Lmao reminds me of my friend who always claims to be outtier. But wont be like 500 yards away from his truck. And once I was just cutting some fishing line with my knife. And an owl had made one of those wooooooeeeeeep sounds. And he freaked the fuck out. Froze. And goes "what the fuck was that" me... "Its just an owl, hes looking at you telling you to piss off from his hunting area." h: "wow anon glad to know your creepy animal sounds" lmao

Basically find someone who actually goes out to stay. So you can get use to it with them.

Top tips for not being a little bitch:

>go with friends
>sleep with a fire smouldering nearby
>start out in campsites before going into the wilderness
>brush up on nighttime wildlife so you can place sounds
>have a nightcap to calm your shit
>go armed(?)
>all of the above
>>

>Meaning if there are 1000 people in planes, and 1000 people driving, the 1000 people driving have a much higher chance of dying.

That's not how it works.

You must have the same number of planes flying as the number of cars being driven to find out which one is safer. Otherwise, with your logic, 1 boat sailing 1 mile with 10 billion people that survives 1 trip would be the safest thing ever.

I take a little nyquil. It makes me sleep so soundly, I don't even hear the skinwalkers sneaking up. Plus, it gives me a nice cherry flavor!
>>
>>842556
No you retard. It's how many safe miles you can travel without crashing. Doesn't matter which vehicle.
>>
>>841858
Try sleeping in your backyard first so you get used to the feeling of sleeping outside. Worked wonders for me because I was anxious as well.
>>
>>843626
I live in an apartment so I dont have a backyard. Not really viable to put up my tent on the communal lawn either because part of what fucks me up is knowing that anybody could just walk up to me while Im asleep.

So in that regard atleast I figure I'd feel better more far out innawoods. As you can see from my pictures, I wasn't very far out at all and at least during day time even families with little kids come there.

It's also kinda close to bad neighbourhoods and I walked trough a gang of niggers on my way back (even though they were within shouting distance of the edge of town, so not nearly as far out as I was).
>>
>>843868
Yeh it's an unsettling idea. But it's kinda pointless to worry about it.
A gang of niggers could also break into your house at any point. No one is going to kill you while out, probably the WORST will be robbing you of your stuff.

My first and only time /out/ was sleeping in shitty tent as kid in backyard. I was cold in the morning despite sweater and thick mattress.
Would do it again/10


About you, well. Gotta get used to the darkness, get a big knife so you can shank all these skinwalkers and other meme monsters.

Where the fuck do you people live? Seems like no-one on /out/ has any trust for their fellow outdoorsman.

I can see that being a problem living in refugee infested countries or something, but up here in Scandinavia (at least up north) the expectation is NOT that anyone you meet or hear is about to pull a mora on you and shank you on the spot.
>>
>>841999
This. Same reason that soldiers can sleep anywhere in any condition. March with a ruck on for long enough and anything becomes a bed regardless of what's around you
>>
I sleep with a gun within reaching distance while at home or out.
>>
I don't camp alone. I don't find it to be a weakness of mine, I just don't camp alone.

I don't for 2 reasons. Another person is your greatest survival asset. With all of the people that want to bring guns in the woods or spend thousands of dollars on equipment to camp in hostile environments why would you go alone into the wilderness?

The other reason is that I like to experience the outdoors with other people. Going overnight alone is fine but after a few days it's miserable. Find a camping buddy.
>>
>>842107
>plsno
>>
Just go to sleep, you'll be fine. If anything comes close you'll notice, wake up and kill it.

I like to sleep with a gun, axe or big stick but it's by no means necessary.

If you're in an area where dangerous predators actively hunt humans, set up a string fence with a rattle attached.
