>Hiking in Hiawatha >Set up tent like 200-300 meters from a split in the trail. (think if you walked strait when the trail took a Y shape)
>set up my poorfag milsurp tent >no fire because it was rainy and already dark >half awake in tent listening to trees dripping water on my tent >see a light >think its a car>Wait im in the middle of nowhere >Grab my ak that was sitting next to me >hear crunching of leaves and see the flashlight getting closer. >When the light gets close enough I burst out of the tent screaming my best rebel yell >Unleash 1000 lumen surefire in direction of flashlight >its a 30ish year old indian guy (like from india) >see machete at his waist with the fastener undone >I blinded him momentarily and he bolts back the way he came yelling shit in Hindi >I give chase for a bit and fire a few shots to make sure he knows to keep away >hike out next day scanning everywhere with my rifle in my arms (normally its in a slot on my pack) Thinking about it now I was a dumbass for shooting, he might have just needed help , was lost or something but at that time I wasn't taking any chances in the middle of nowhere with a random indian guy.
