I have been always hesitant to camp by myself especially i am a woman. People have been telling me that i am out of my mind and crazy for doing it but i did it anyway. Ive met some people and they were all nice makes me feel safe.
After sundown. It was super chill.
I finally get to read some of my books i bought a long time ago.

An unaccompanied woman just doing what she wants? You ARE crazy! Off to the asylum with you! Seriously though who have you been talking to?
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Lets goooo. Lol i just have big balls i guess or big ovaries since i dont have balls Lol
thelostfaith
Don't be afraid, just be well prepared and we'll informed. My gf always horse camped before we met, just be a bad bitch 1/
thelostfaith
Get your CCP and learn how to use it proper, and pack it with you. Camp in grounds where it looks like there are other groups.
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Yeah thats what i did. Good thing i didnt have a crazy crowd. Everybody was just chill and quiet.
poonanitsunami
Good on you I have been a Boy Scout for six years and am almost an Eagle Scout I camp every mother and enjoy every second

Congrats on camping solo. Now you just need to up your beer game. ( I'm a chef at a southern Oregon brewery).
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Any suggestions
analoofah
I'm headed to do my own solo hiking trip in two weeks! Just an overnight but I've always let others scare me into not doing it, no more!!!
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
There you go!! You should do it
twominutesforhighsticking
Just be sure to let people know where, and when you'll return! That way you have peace of mind that someone will notice if you need a hand.
OldTimeyPaperCompanyTycoons
I like to hike to my campsite, set up my fire, put up my tent and smoke copious amounts of weed.
TerribleClarity
I feel you friend. Stoner-camping-introverts unite! Separately. At our own campsites.
OldTimeyPaperCompanyTycoons
Don't you wander into my campsite unless you intend to hit the piece pipe and listen to my rants about the government
CanadianSorryNotSorry
Dogs are pissed for not being on a sofa right now
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Lol yeah i could tell theyre not into it. I think they were scared of squirrels lol
Mavgurian
Were you able to let them off the leash? Maybe they were pissed not being able to sniff every single tree thrice a day? ^^
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
No i cant. There were bunch of pitbulls over there and i think they were scared of squirrels lol
wellnoshit
This looks like Oregon. Where did ya go @OP?
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Mt. Baldy in Cali

Good book +1

What book is it?

Tell whatever horror movie monster I said hello.
NotQuiteDeadYetPool
Be careful drinking at state parks, they will write you a ticket if drinking openly. But put it in a cup and everyone will be happy.
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Most of the people was drinking. There was even a middle age couple who brought waterguns lol
NotQuiteDeadYetPool
I've been fined before for drinking out of the can, but they don't car if it's in a solo cup.
VerySpecialAgent
Probably depends on the state?
SecretAgentSuperBooger
Nothing like camping with your dog(s) and an adult beverage to unwind. As far as staying safe when camping alone, a handgun is the way to go
DisposableHeroOfHipHoprisy
I am guessing you may be American
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
I have one but i just dont wanna get in trouble for bringing one ya know.
SecretAgentSuperBooger
It's perfectly legal to have one when camping in most states due to bears and such.
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Even tho you have no license to carry it? Someone just gave it to me and i havent transferred it under my name.
theOtherBeardofZeus
In Colorado at least, you can keep it in your car. It's considered your personal property so not CCW. I do every time
AllTheseFlavors
Then no, you would need a CCW license. But consider this; anyone can buy pepper spray, that can be very effective against animals or people
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Yeah i always have a teaser and pepper spray with me. Thank you for the tip!
SecretAgentSuperBooger
Yep, no concealed carry or license required in most states if you're camping or hunting. Just check the state's law you plan on camping in.
Pappy10299
This is typically true. Check the law though. If you're comfortable with a gun its better to have it if you need it than the other way aroun
DisposableHeroOfHipHoprisy
Why do people choose to drink Coors Light?
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Its not that bad and i cant drink hard beer. I dont wanna get wasted too fast. Lol
BigAZNMan
Don't worry about all of the beer snob bashers. They can drink their $16 4 packs. You drink whatever the heck you wanna drink!
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Thanks man

The book you are reading makes me angry by the opening title. I fucking hate writing like that. It's a book not a magazine, damn.
GnomeAnn
I am curious what book it is.
AmyBethMegJo
Jesus > Religion: Why He is So Much Better than Trying Harder, Doing Better, and Being Good Enough by Jefferson Bethke
KyleVox
So random. I designed a bunch of promo around that book launch.
AmyBethMegJo
Huh. I had never heard of it, but I searched by the chapter title, and there it was. Sounds like an interesting read. Do you work for 1/2
AmyBethMegJo
the publisher? 2/2
Roland191145
I see established grills, clean flat areas, and a car. You slept in a tent. You did not camp. But, you are trying new things. That..........
LordCommanderTomSnow
It's still camping. Just not backpacking.
Roland191145
To each their own. At least OP was enjoying wilderness. Tried to clarify, I wasn't being critical. It's tough to get tone across sometimes.
Roland191145
is good. And you did it by yourself, which is better. (previous statement was clarification, not criticizing)......
Roland191145
Now next time, leave the pups with a friend, pack everything in (And out) and really get out there!
yonderlyzenization
What's wrong with taking the dogs with? (If they've had a few practice trips like this one). She'll feel safer with them, right?
Roland191145
she totally can, it's just more gear and weight to hump. Also those little guys limit cross country access
longoriaisaiah
Flip flops while camping? Bold.
chillinandtortillian
It's hard to find a good car camping spot that isn't surrounded by RVs. Kudos!
wadenelson1
Oh how I love watching noobs set up their tent for the first time by the headlights of their SUV.
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
I help a camper to set up her tent because she doesn't know how And lend her some of my nails and she never returned it back lol
thesolamnus
How were you able to share na... ohh you mean the tent nails
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Yesss lol
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
She went downtown and asked me if i needed anything and i told her zif she could get me some ice and gave her $10. Thats
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Never got my change back lol that bitch kept my money.
wellanotherusername24get
Well done! Nothing better then becoming one with nature. The ones giving you bad feed on camping alone never camped and don't trust them.
wellanotherusername24get
You can trust your fellow camper more than some stranger off the street. More you do it the better you and pups will enjoy! Safe adventures!
wellanotherusername24get
Apparently lots has changed since the lack of funding for state and national parks. There is always that shady one but that is life.
wellanotherusername24get
I hope you still get out and do it, if you enjoy it keep it up. Safe adventures
mineovermatter
Really? Guess we've had different experiences and know differently. Been around some really unsavory characters, even had
mineovermatter
A ranger tell my SO she shouldn't camp as they were concerned about certain campers.DO NOT camp alone,and have some self defense.
mineovermatter
Be situationally aware.
sothereisthat
Where did you get a Miller lite can like that?
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Walmart.
sothereisthat
Apparently, Virginia is behind the Miller lite times. Envious.
TerrableTerra
As a female camper I enjoy camping alone immensely (backpacking too!) don't be afraid to do things just becuz of ur female
helpadrummer
What fun! As a female fisher person, I can't name the number of times "helpful" folks want to give me some tips on how to do my hobby.
wadenelson1
But you gotta admit you were holding the wrong end of that fishing rod...
sosume
You're going to want to be where the fish are, and to use an appropriate bait or lure as rules allow. When a fish bites, try to reel it in.
respondwin
RaventsTrinity
I'm with you. Only my case is my job. Never fails when off loading a truck with a fork lift or pallet jack they ask if I want them to do it.
destinoz
Have you tried catching a fish? In my experience they ask for tips when you're reeling them in. ;)
MissAizea
As a shitty fisherman who loves fishing, I happily take advice from all sources
basscatcher09
Fresh or salt water?
helpadrummer
fresh...my state is land locked, unfortunately.
Voxnobilus
Just so you know guys do that to other guys too. fire back with your advice for them it can make it more fun
destinoz
Exactly. "Sure sure, but if you actually want to catch fish today you might try ." Angler shit talk.
eightcastles
female golfer here.. the number of times old guys have tried to "help me through my swing" is actually pretty gross now that i think
yepthatguy
With the exception of helping through the swing (creepy), another golfer always thinks they know what you're doing wrong even with guys.
eightcastles
true.. can't say I'm any better when it comes to that. but at least I do it without putting my crotch near someone else's ass lol
yepthatguy
surelyoneoftheseusernamesisavailable
As a female, I don't mind the suffix "man" (fisherman) as I am man. We are man (not men) and woman (a special word just for us). No problem.
VisofSer
+1 For rare recognition of the words.
RogueOfHeart
I mean I agree but that was kinda random
surelyoneoftheseusernamesisavailable
It was a reply to a comment saying "female fisher person".
TrixQuatro5
Nothing like shitty beer to get you connected with the Mother herself.
DietCokeIsTheBest
How the fuck does the type of beer make a difference with connecting to nature?
KevinMiller42
Wouldn't it seem silly to take crafts only for them to be constantly shaken and warmed?
BigAZNMan
Probably some IPA coffee beer snob
MightyTrismegistus
Mushrooms are the way to go
deadeyesatan
You and I would get along juuuussst fine
GiveMeCorndogOrGiveMeDeath
I'm camping with you guys!
MightyTrismegistus
If you're anywhere in the NW we should go camping on the coast. I know a few great places! Also have a church that we can go (1)

I'm a older hippie chick in PA...

The more the merrier!

Take mushrooms for "religious" purposes. (2)

Anewandoriginalname
Wish I could give more than one upvote
Donttouchthatwithoutgloves
I never really understood beer snobs. It's like wow, you have a honda? Your driving enjoyment must be terrible.
TrixQuatro5
I don't get it.
Donttouchthatwithoutgloves
People act as though budget beer isn't worth their time. Like fancy craft beer gives you a far superior buzz or something.
BigAZNMan
They think their opinion matters. There are plenty of self-professed experts these days. I know one that's like that with whiskey and wine
TrixQuatro5
If you are going camping... Don't drink shitty beer. It doesn't stand up to the elements and it is like eating McDonalds in the wilderness.
BigAZNMan
Donttouchthatwithoutgloves
How does that even make sense in your head? Why should you have any say in how someone chooses to enjoy themselves?
HibiscuitsTea
Oh stfu and let people drink whatever the fuck they want. Fucking despise beer snobs.
TrixQuatro5
I drink Budweiser.
UpfishSinclair
I spend inordinate amounts of money on craft beer and also home brew, but you can def still catch me pounding some millers when I'm grilling
vandammit98
THANK YOU!!
RudeDudeInABadMood
ur so fancy teach me ur fancy ways
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Got me drunk thats all it matters LOL
TrixQuatro5
True. But a half pint of whiskey is a better camping partner.
violentgentlem4n
Just that one?
37bushelsofpotatoesx2
Not quality that matters. And good thinking with the cans over bottles. I'm glad you did it.
AlwaysChinchillin
As my dad says, "quantity is a quality of its own"
BigAZNMan
There are way worse choices. Miller lite and Coors light are fine choices for nature time
blakeatwork
On Coors Light? That's impressive :P
UpfishSinclair
Clearly you've never had a case race.
blakeatwork
Clearly, I like my tastebuds
UpfishSinclair
Oh at that point it's not about taste, it's about who can drink 24 beers the fastest lol.
lifesucksandyouregonnaloveit
Not a drinker. Lol
blakeatwork
Lol, nothing to be ashamed of. You know your limits :D
bandito94
Don't listen to the haters. Enjoy those blue mountains!
