How does one solo camp without shitting pants at night? I returned my hot asian outdoor loving waifu recently due to concerns over carona-chan.
I love camping and actually prefer to do it alone and enjoy some solitude in nature but as soon as the sun sets I'm shitting my self and end up sleeping in the car.

Perhaps alter your diet or wear a diaper. Try more fiber like bananas.

I've trained my shits over many years to occur predominantly in the morning soon after waking. There have been certain eras where I retrained them for other times.

I take Imodium to keep from shitting my pants at night while soloing. Or a butt plug.

Carry a gun or find a stick and sharpen it like your ancestors did. I went camping in JTNP for the first time and was too much of a bitch to bring my pistol.

I bring a gun with me now. In JTNP, (which I totally wouldn't to...works of fiction blahblah) it stayed in my pack. Elsewhere, it stays on my hip.

This. Also a bit of whiskey the first night or two and it’s easy after that.

A lack of imagination helps. Really, ignoring spiders, centipedes, ticks, biting flys, mosquitoes, snakes, racoons, possums, mice, coyotes, bears, and mountain lions what really is there to be worried about besides crazy homeless people stabbing you to death?

Kek, Yeah, whiskey is often a solo staple of mine but that first night it was a need. Nowadays it’s just nice when I can spare the weight.

rinse and repeat really. Each time you do it your less creeped out. Also could try to think of being nervous as natural, because it means you are being alert of any possible dangers. Or get a gun (And learn how to use it properly)

Sleep with ear plugs and eye covers. That way you wont be aware of the movement and sounds of wendigos stalking outside your tent

Just keep a knife next to you, just in case

Nobody sleeps under a tarp alone you autist, it's either a mesh tent, bivy or hammock under it.

Tbh senpai the first tike I went solo I wasn’t scared because I was dead drunk and in bed before sundown lol. Then I woke in the middle of the night, rushed out of my tent and threw up. After that I sat and looked at the stars for about an hour and that totally cured me of any fear I had. Now I come to see it as calming rather than scary and eventually you will too. Doesn’t hurt to have guns too, I always do.
