>first solo hike>talladega NF, it's spring break so I planned to stay four nights>rained on the way in but I was only in shorts and a t-shirt so no big deal>set up near a nice stream >eat my instant taters and walk around a bit with my rifle and pass time>first night goes fine, don't sleep well but I never do>next day decide to spend a lot of time skinnydipping in the stream and jerking off because I'm a massive pervert>that night actually fall asleep>as soon as I do hear the most evil noise I have ever heard, like https://voca.ro/1ls1MYvFRjUR but deeper and loud as fuck right outside my tent>strongest adrenaline I have ever felt in my life>scared shitless, grab my pistol and realize I don't even have a flashlight>nothing else happens but I wake up again a few times that night with the same fearThe rest of the trip went pretty smoothly and I spent about half the time naked which was pretty cool. It rained a lot but it was early march so it was pretty warm still. I looked up what kind of noise it was and I think it was actually a buck or something but it was pretty scary!
