>>805817I would say just get hammered like I do, but honestly that doesn't help. Sometimes spoopy shit happens, sometimes shit way out of the ordinary - lights moving about far away in the forest, large animals/people/??? tromping around, etc. You just get used to it, it's as simple as that. I've had some of the most unnerving things happen ( a bear stalking my camp all night, etc), things that sound like a person walking close to my camp and walking slowly away over and over again, etc. Even on my own property in my friendly neighborhood where I have nothing to worry about. Every time it's either nothing, or it's nothing to worry about.
I often have deer hiss at me (they get testy when you encroach on their personal space) and a couple times the hissing was more like a cat "rawr!" than a hiss... might have been a mountin' lion, idunno. Still, nothing - fucking - happens. Once you stop feeling like an outsider in the woods you appreciate that you belong there as much as anything else, and you're scarier than anything else out there, reasonably speaking.
Bring bear spray or a muhgun if you have to, and just get used to it. It's lovely.
