So I went out today for a day trip to test my new hammoxk. It was my first completely solo innawoods day and while it was at times really satisfying I have to admit I was very scared a few times.
At first, every noise some bird made with twigs on the forest floor made me anxious. Then I heard some squirrels running around. Then a few very distant barks. I was in no way danger, yet I could almost never switch my mind from "flight or fight" mode.
Brehss... As an inexperienced newbie who is looking forward to spend a lot of time in the woods this summer, I'm asking if you maybe have advice for me on how to relax and not stress out on every little stupid noise? I can never imagine myself doing a solo overnighter this way.
