Is it okay to go camping alone?

I mean, socially. And logisticaly. I'm just going car camping about 5 or 7 miles off the highway.

I've been telling a couple folks that I'm going camping this weekend alone and I'm getting wierd looks.

Don't forget to upload pictures to show everyone how cool you are.

I go camping alone almost every weekend if I can. Who cares what other people think, the point is to get away from other people isn't it?

I don't have anyone to tell though or I would just to be safe.

Camping with others is fun, every one needs to solo camp too.

If I only went camping when my friends were free I'd never go camping.

Solo camping rules, I guess if you have a lot of prissy bitch numale friends then I would expect you to get weird looks.

Then again you could be "that one weird quiet autistic dude" so now they're all making jokes you have bodies to bury behind your back.

Dont worry I'm in that same catagory

I had a room mate with a very basic bitch for a girlfriend who was over once while I was cleaning and putting away my gear and asked me what I was doing with all of it.

>I like to go camping.
>Why?
>It's fun, it's peaceful out there, I see a lot of beautiful countryside...
>Who do you go with?
>Sometimes with friends, sometimes by myself
>You go by yourself? That's just sad.

Moral of the story is the kinds of people who care that much about the social ramifications of strangers seeing you do things by yourself probably aren't worth hanging out with. Having someone there to share an adventure with is a plus, but not a prerequisite to going /out/ and having a good time.

ring a bell?

i do it all the time sometimes i wish i could be the only person on the whole planet, just be sure you're prepared enough, there is some accomplishment you get kinda like i did it i overcome the odds of survival, and each time i go camping i pack less gear, i recommend you going always to the same area you know and just go exploring it further as you get more experience, I was unemployed last year, and went camping almost every weekend alone, I've walked over 30 miles in one day in deep jungle, you know this things most people don't have, you should enjoy it while you can.

>current gear:
>one back pack 30L
>knife and sheath i've made
>Machete 20 inches (the bush is thick around here)
>water bottle 1L i carry in a shoulder strap i made
>pocket knife
>first aid kit
>water purifier straw i made
>food, usually canned food
>my tent when rain is coming or usually a tarp and a hammock
>paracord
>fire kit

My record was 5 days with this gear.

no, i walk up pretty much a whole afternoon to get to the place where i set my first camp then i walk in a direction that i am scouting when it starts to get dark i set up camp again and keep doing this till the time where I have to go back. I usualy goe in a circular motion so I scan a larger area instead of a straight line

also i carry such a light load of gear that i find it easier to just scout with all my gear on me than set up a camp and scout then return to the camp spot, if you're carrying a heavy load of gear i suggest you set up your camp and use a map/compass or an GPS so you're not lost without your main gear

kek

/out/ing alone is nice if you don't cross or camp near other people, otherwise you need to be some friendly cool dude or people will think that you're some creepy weirdo, which is probably the case tho.

>tfw only a cousin to camp with because friends all have gfs and are not into it
>tfw no /out/ gf
>tfw no gf at all

>happiness only real when shared
fuck, thanks for those shitty feels, op.

i had a girlfriend for over 5 years and she never liked the great /out/doors, one time i tried to take her to a basic car camping and she wouldn't stop bitching for a single minute, i thought of killing her and burying her in the forest as a sacrifice to mother nature, not gonna lie.

Listen to this guy:>>854089
This is true for about any fucking thing in your life.

Why do you go alone? explain this to yourself.
Cool, you are now able to explain to others, those of them that you actually care what they think.

I go alone all the time, sometimes because I would rather be alone, often because that's the only option I have.

I get weird looks all the time when I tell this to people.
It turns into envy half the time when I actually care enough to talk about the experiences that this allowed me to have.

Understand why YOU are doing whatever it is you are doing, don't be shy about it.
If they give you weird looks for it, don't try to understand their point of view... give them a look of "you're missing out and you don't even know it, I pity you" Instead.
