well last time; after i did everything i needed to it was kinda boring then i burned my hand adjusting a piece of wood that had ember on the underside which i didn't see. after that it was kinda miserable.
the pain of even a small second degree burn if you stop cooling it for a second is really fucking distracting.

I didn't, I started as young kid but I always camped with other people, either family or friends.The thing is, as the age passes people around me seems to be losing interest in being /out/ so now I'll be just going alone, either that or not going /out/ at all, and since I love camp I'll choose to go alone.
I'm just anxious because I'll have to find things to do and don't wanna be bored as fuck.

fuken sucked. I was a dumbass kid and I went deep, deep into the woods. I was nervous about causing a forest fire so my fire was this dinky little thing I made in a pit, maybe 8 inches across. Because, you know, when you're a kid and you think fire magically lights everything up like it's gasoline? Didn't last longer than 10 minutes, and I didn't bring any kind of shelter, made a shitty little thing out of fresh pine branches that was nice but the wind was blowing the wrong way, so it blew into my shelter. I got eaten alive by mosquitoes and I looked fucking disgusting in the morning (or so I was told, I didn't see my face until after I got out of the shower, and while I looked pretty bad, I was told it was a significant improvement from what I looked like prior to my shower).

Fun times though. When I was walking back along the highway I stopped in at a pancake place and the lady felt so bad for me she gave me free french toast and pancakes.

It was back in the day when I was depressed as shit. I had just dropped out of highschool and used to get into fights with my parents for being a depressed shit with no job. They had every right to get into these fights with me desu, but I just got fed up one day and decided to go live in some small nature area right outside of the city.
I had just gotten into an accident a few months prior, I was still missing several teeth and had a massive neckbeard. I already looked like a hobo so why the fuck not?

All I packed was a tent, a lighter, a blanket that was way too thin, some snacks and a swiss army knife. I was cold as fuck, hungry, lonely and I made a shitload of mistakes.

But I was never really afraid of being alone, maybe because this wasnt real wilderness.
Overall it was a shitty experience, but im glad I did it because I learned from it and it got me into serious camping and hiking and all that stuff. :)

I woke up a lot.

If you're anxious, just try sleeping in your backyard a few times to get used to it.
You'll get comfortable with your sleeping gear, the darkness, sounds etc.

Last week I slept in my backyard again to test out the repairs on my bivy and sleepingbag. Froze my fucking ass off so decided to go back into the house eventually at 3 am. Only overnight experiences had been summer thus far so it was definitely a good experience. Next week I'll try again with socks and hoody on.

It's logical to be more alert outside but realistically nothings going to happen. Just accept te fact you're out in your sleeping bag and try to enjoy your surroundings.

I only ever did one or two overnight fishing trips.
Right between two small towns (villages)which are about 2km apart on the sea coast. I was familiar with the area as i have some farmable land right above the small 2-3 man beach i was at.
Since all i did was set up my rods and stand, rig up, bait hooks and chuck em deep, and then sit and watch the rod tips while i enjoy the calm, it was pretty chill.
A puff would have been nice. You will glance at every little noise in the brush, but it is wind 100% of the time.

So it went great. Didnt catch anything all night, then caught 4 fish early morning, within half hour, and then nothing again.

First night was hell. I was 14 and I thought something would kill me. Too scared to leave the tent and too scared to stay. I just sat there the whole night being paranoid, holding my knife.
A vixen was in heat and started screaming at around 3 o clock. That was the worst part.

Before sleeping innawoods, just spend a few hours there at night so you get used to the sounds.

It was a while ago, it was fine desu. You can't fuck around though, you need to set up a fire ASAP, it takes a lot longer solo, and make sure to have way more fuel than you would need to start the fire, because you can't get up and fetch more fuel when you run out halfway through starting the fire.

How do you not get sore throat while spending a cold night in a sleeping bag? Your body is warm, but your head and throat are exposed, and you breathe in the cold air..

Not even a solo car camp. I just got so used to camping with a friend that I never went out and did it solo.

I was thinking about doing an overnight solo some place close and make a thread about it so I can pass the time talking to people and reading shitposts.
