How do I stop being afraid of being alone in the woods at night? I have no problem with other people around, but as soon as I'm left alone the terror strikes. It got so bad, I can't bike from work through 500m patch of forest after 20:00.

Also, I found this pretty interesting article about duch people dropping their 11yo kids at night in the middle of forest, while looking for thread pic.

Maybe you aren't in a state (mind, body, geographically) where you can safely travel like that. Expose yourself to calculated risks and take reasonable measures. I.E. carry an appropriate weapon when you are in a dangerous area.

I was at an old mine, webm related, and as I was looking down the shaft I heard noises. That's why I dimmed my light then I heard a smashing noise, that's when I panned over to the right. I just took a deep breath and thought "what could be making noises at night". Then it hit me. Fucking Skinwalkers.

I have the opposite problem. I'm not afraid of bears and cougars by myself because I just whistle to let them know I'm approaching. However, when I'm with other knuckleheads such as OP who won't stop thinking about imminent death (or my woman gripping my arm out of fear), an unsettling feeling begins to creep in.

Don't be so concerned with your safety and well being. You gotta die someday. You have to surrender yourself to situations sometimes and accept the possibility of dying. You can also pack a weapon and whiskey to add some level of comfort. Exhaust yourself during the day so you'll pass right out

I still don't have a loicense. I feel a lot more confident carrying my dads over-under thought when we go hunting. I never watch horror movies, will doing a marathon of "Blair witch project" and then spending a night in forest help with my fears?

Not Dutch but Belgian fag here
I'm in a youth movement and they made us do the same thing when I was around 15yo. They just dropped us in a forest during nightfall and we had to spend the whole night there on our own.
We were scared shitless at first but it was a really fun and relaxing experience. Haven't been scared to be /out/ alone since then and I was 15
So don't be a pussy and just do it, anon

Do you live in a high crime area where people get mugged at night?

If not, just get out there. Bring your favorite snack to reward yourself for being in the scary place. Set up a nice comfy camp and spend the night.

The little placket said it's the "grave of the unknown hiker" or forester, can't remember.

Stop being a beta.
Seriously.

When I'm innawoods I fear nothing, because I know I'm the most dangerous creature out there. I'm not worried about the psycotic madman in the forest at night, I am the psycotic madman.

I am the apex predator. I am the the thing that goes bump in the night.
That weird distant scream you heard? That was me. That branch snapping whilst you lay in your tent. Yup. Me too.

God help anything that crosses my path in the woods at night.
