In the US. I won't tent camp at my age. Only camp in my Grand Cherokee bought for the purpose. And I always carry a firearm. The world has become very strange in the past few years. And I am too old to take unnecessary risks.
I was just camping at Jamez Springs NM with my sister with campsites you pay for in a bit of wilderness, by Sunday everyone was gone except for some guy a way up on a hill campsite with no car, he came by saying he was thinking of moving his tent across from us. I notice someone had walked thru our campsite when we were gone early that day they left garbage. Come night I was so on edge couldn't sleep in our tent, so glad for the morning, we packed up and out. Always best to go with your gut feeling, at entrance of the park campsites a poster of a women who has gone missing few months prior, she was staying at a meditation retreat an had gone hiking in the same area. Her car was found with a windows broken, she still has not been found. Glad you are safe and went with your instinct.
TH-cam recommended me this channel out of the blue. Please don't venture into the woods without arms. You never know what's lurking behind those woods, waiting for a chance. You're so brave. Sending hugs from the other end of the 🌍 🤍
Gun laws are VERY strict in the UK - for which I am very thankful. Just look at what happens in the USA when everyone's first impulse is to reach for a gun.
TH-cam recommended your video and I’m glad it did! Super creepy in broad daylight The crunchy footsteps without seeing anyone got to me … Not a failed video but a good lesson in being aware of your surroundings for anyone going in the woods Well done and take care from Canada 🇨🇦❤️
Thanks Sue, i appreciate the comment and thank you TH-cam for recommending my channel. New video out on Sunday, a solo woodland camp, building a survival shelter and cooking over a fire. I liver in Canada, I wish I was into hiking and camping then…because you’re spoilt with greenery. ATB
Man, I remember back in the day when I worked in an office that had a bit of woods between elevated train tracks and such nearby. I went to walk there on my break just to enjoy some greenery and stumbled across a homeless camp. They obviously didnt expect anyone to come poking around and got quite irritated, shouting at me. I surmised as much as they wanted to stay hidden, and not have law enforcement or municipality people coming around. But the experience was a bit harrowing. You never know if one or more of them is going to be violent, and even poke you with something. Getting into any sort of fight is horrible enough, getting into one with homeless people who are often chill but might as well have psychological issues and tainted blood is a next level of dangerous.
@@pieterpuk7684 a part of me wants to go back and do a stealth camp nearby. A, for the curiosity. B, to prove I’m not making up the dramatics.

Hi Rob! I am new as of today on your website and it was great in the beginning but then the sense of your fear made me very nervous as well! You definitely made the right choice! I am very worried about all the homeless people as well. I am 65 and love to camp but these days it’s hard to go anywhere without someone doing things they shouldn’t and drugs have disturbed their mind to the point of danger! Thank you for sharing this!
Always happy to share and spread awareness of what is potentially around us when out hiking or whatever. I wasn’t so bothered by the situation (homeless) but the hundreds of beer bottles and possible drug users put me off. Thanks for commenting and watching June
I watch a lot of camping video’s and you came up as recommended, enjoyed the vid. 🫶 I love the outdoors and wild camping. I’ve camped in the Yosemite mountains in California..crazy stuff there. Bears and strange loners! You did the right thing leaving. Not all homeless people will be dangerous, some are just trying to survive, but there are times when certain individuals get desperate and you don’t want to be on their turf when anything can happen. In the middle of the woods is a perfect landscape for them to do anything they want and probably get away with it under cover. Safety first always. ⛺️ 🔥 Nice watch.
Appreciate the comment mate. I bet the Yosemite mountains are amazing for hiking and camping! You’re definitely right, not all homeless are dangerous, but it’s a risk not worth taking, given the hundreds of beer bottles laying around. All the best
You've given me good ideas about tarp camping. I'm a 73-yr-old retired doctor (female). I backpacked alone in the Wind Rivers, high in the Rockies,😊 for 3 days. I saw only one other party, actually at the top of a glacier. I figure that if it takes that much work to get someplace, others' intentions are very unlikely to be evil. But then, I'm not where you are.
Hi Rob! 👋🏻 Watching from across the pond. 🇺🇸 Your video popped up on my feed, so I thought I'd check you out. Sorry your video was so rudely interrupted, but you seem to be a very likable gentleman. I subbed! ♥️☺️
Height is irrelevant if you can look after yourself or run fast. But that was my concern that a female walking alone, taking pictures of nature and stumble across the situation I put myself in
Oh Rob you were sensible if it doesn’t feel right LEAVE!!…. you know I won’t like shorter vlogs and I love the chat you do you others do them! Great content always.
@@Rob.hikermanI just subbed and have to be honest I was thinking what a handsome chap you are as well. Really enjoying your video although it's creepy. My late partner was in the Royal Marines and he always was switched on. Camping and survival were his thing. Trust your gutt 👍
My son has climbed 3 mountains now in 3 countries... It's a growing thing.. we all need to decompress in nature more, camping, hiking, walking the dog in the woods... And tbh a lot of us may end up living there too the way the world is headed... Learn to make a fire, build a shelter, forage at least, maybe fish... You'll be alright when the time comes. And it's coming 🙌🏽
Betting a lot of these videos are put in the newsreel of those who would resign to making shelter in the woods if the proverbial 💩 hit the fan.. to instill fear and intimidate people from doing so. The woods was already scary.. add the times we are in and the many strangers theyve allowed inside and you have an entirely different recipe altogether.
When i was a young lad - 10-12 - there was a couple of homeless guys living right deep in the woodland we used to hang around in. Found a flat, triangular shaped shelter built from logs and camo netting. Say 12ft long 3ft high. The terror that came over us when we found it and poked our heads in. Full of lighter gas cans and needles along with sleeping bag etc. Another chap lived in an unknown area. Always caught him in the deepest parts. Dressed up looking like a cracked out victorian gent. Ruff and all. Great times growing up in the woods but you had to keep your head on swivel.
Work in progress while having fun and gaining experience. I’m enjoying it, and if some people enjoy my content… excellent. Constructive criticism is always welcome
My better half introduced me to your Channel, i've now subscribed........as a big Footie fan i'd be interested to know who you played for if you dont mind me asking.............on the video, you did the right thing, you can't trust anyone these days, i'd love to start camping in the woods but dont have the bottle so will stick to sites with my better half and Sid the dog 😁
@@winkyridg let’s just say I didn’t become a millionaire from the sport mate. I was forced to quit in my early twenties due to an injury. The confidence will come with every camp, and it’s a lot easier doing it with someone else when starting out. Ps, there’s nothing wrong with campsites 🤷🏻♂️. ATB to you and yours
I like your content thus far and I think you’ll have a great channel. I look forward to watching. Now who was stalking whom 🤔😄? Hey I was in a similar situation recently. I was about to setup camp when something didn’t “feel” right, I’m a male and military veteran and the hair was standing up full on spider sense! So I packed up and left. Found out the police found a start up active meth lab not 50 yards from my found camp site.
It’s funny how some things can be right under your nose and you’re oblivious to it. Then all of a sudden, like you said…the hairs stand up and senses go crazy! I’ve been in some sketchy situations on solo camps, thinking it’s just my mind and keep calm. Glad you’re liking the content thus far 🙏🏻. ATB
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment 😂😂 maybe I’ll find two palm trees on a desert island, do the whole cast away “how to survive” while sinking some beer 🥳😂. It’s safe to say I won’t go ahead and camp there, well not alone anyway 😅
Well as you can now see, in the UK even the great outdoors has become a unsafe place to visit with the chance of coming across immigrants who are only most likely their to hide away for various reasons that most likely mean no good!!! I bet the crime rate has gone insane in the rural areas adjacent to small towns & city's that have been set aside for migrant populations to be placed. No wonder the government & local councils have no idea what is going on & have lost control of this unfettered concern by the general public. Good luck Robby!!! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Whats weird, is that every time you stopped walking and looked around. I could still hear the sound of somebody walking, really close. Yet I saw nobody. Never yake a rick, unless you are armed, or have really good weapons. Def dont camp in the same place, especially with others knowing where you camp. Thats just too dangerous.
Even when I wasn’t walking, I could hear them or someone lurking. Even when armed or have precautions, risks shouldn’t be taken or at the very least I keep them minimal
The woods should be for everyone . But its not safe to be walking alone.i also think your camera upset these people. It also saved you. They didn't come in plain sight.🇨🇦
There are alot of videos like this. Just say "Hello" "nice day for it"... Be nice, be confident, don't show fear. If they are rude say, "Charming, good day sir"...
John, I totally agree with everything you said matey. If I ever bump into them next time, I’ll be sure to. Thanks for commenting and watching my friend. Take care
@@davidneal6920 out of sight, out of mind matey. This was meant to be a quick video on setting up a tarp. I had no idea what was lurking around me! I just hope they move on soon
@@Rob.hikerman agree. I live in New Zealand and sometimes camp out of my truck off old tracks near rivers when duck hunting or fishing. Quite often backing the truck along an overgrown logging track is all that is neeeded
I thought you were Carl Froch. In future, just keep a boiler suit and hockey mask in your bag. If you hear or see something dodgy, put that on and you won't get any trouble.
Look up the name Israel Keyes, he is dead now by his own hand. He used to go out in the woods and hunt people. He was a real creep. He led a double life. Because of him and others I could never be comfortable out in the woods ever again. Used to camp up near Mount Rainier and it was awesome times.
@@Rob.hikerman A warning in the sense that someone was too close to its likely nesting area and it would have been both signalling its mate and doing its best to warn off the intruder.
When in the woods that's public and camping you should try wearing green gear are something that doesn't stick out like you're jacket and backpack safe
@@Macandme124 I think you misread my description and perhaps what I actually said in the video….a quick video on how to setup a tarp, which I later went on to say I’m “not camping”. As for colour schemes, i usually wear greens and earth tones in the woods. Thanks for the comment though. Hope you enjoyed the video
@@Rob.hikerman well any time heading in to the woods with camping gear it's good to blend in this day and age there is a lot of unvetted criminals from the 3rd world fluded in UK and Europe. Safe
If someone or persons unknown stalked me, they would really regret it. Especially at night. i would be prepared (night vision) and they would soon become the hunted. I have been involved in martial arts for many years, including military training and several which was specifically for termination.
The world is certainly a different place these days. I’ve picked a spot for an upcoming solo woodland camp this week. It’s quiet, and I know the area well.
That was hairy, they probably watching you😮 Wouldve been better if they were English and there were two of you. Imagine a female walking her dog through there
walking in the middle of the woods with her dog...? not even camping but like where he was is somewhere you walk in the middle of the woods.. are you mad?
This is the first video iv come across of your channel and I enjoyed it enough to subscribe. But dude, u kinda created the situation, i didnt see nothing to be paranoid over lol. Also it wasn't a wild camp scenario, it was a stealth camp as u were in a place wherethe public is very close.
no doubt being in the woods can bend the mind lol, and its always best to be cautious, i like your channel a lot, still got plenty to view and look forward to videos to come. il always give a thumbs up and drop a comment or 2.. keep doing what u do dude 😎
@@carlystevens3983 I’m heading back soon, now that I’ve researched the area. There’s a lot of paranormal activity with a unsolved murder, a nobleman galloping through on his horse, bodies found. I’ll be careful, but now I’m armed with the facts…I’m looking forward on doing another video. Thanks for commenting
@Rob.hikerman just be careful out there I watch alot of paranormal stuff on TH-cam but came across your video and had me on the edge my god your a risk taker lol 😆
open borders Britain .... In the high trust society, that we used to call the United Kingdom, we wouldnt be so bothered if we came upon a Cornish or Welsh man.....
The days of leaving your door unlocked or playing outside for hours on end until dark, parents not batting an eyelid where you are… well and truly over my friend.
Too close for comfort Brian! I probably should have just left straight away, rather than sticking around. The footsteps and voices (which the camera didn’t pick up much) were definitely close and around me
@@Rob.hikerman ive had some very strange encounters in some of the forests in the low land, especially round the coast in moray where there were a few air bases during ww2. I dont tend to stick around in them forests anymore, i like to get out on the rolling hills so i get plenty of warning if anyone or thing tries to creep up on me lol.
@@Rob.hikermancuriocity!! Gets the better of me sometines, im always going out in my old army kit so it makes it much more difficult for them to spot me when i hunka down. Had a few very close calls!
@@anyatranter5588 in the south of England, we have millions of wild parakeets. Not originally a nature bird, so you’re right. However, they are ever present now
@@The_Versatile_Camper Hey Danny! Hope you’re well matey. Maybe I’ll do a part ii and see if I can camp right next to them. Actually, I wouldn’t risk it 😂. I think the cabin looks better than a tent, I mean…their tent might be a palace in their eyes 😉. Thanks for commenting buddy
@@MontanaThompsons here in England, wild camping is illegal. So therefore…you can’t just simply pitch up a tent in the woods and make it your new home. I didn’t mention the “lions tigers and bears” just in case that would attract more questions. I definitely saw a Robin (bird) though
A lot of "aircraft noises", in my view, this is an unsafe area-that plane flying will cover the sounds made by anyone, moving closer to you. I really hope you were armed with something more than a knife!?
@@Cube_Ernator1077 my camera 🤷🏻♂️. The robin was watching out for me and I managed to live to tell a tale. I think there’s a lot of comments and misunderstanding on the location of the woods. I live in London near one of the worlds busiest airports, so noise is edible unfortunately
@@Rob.hikerman Yes, birds make a lot of noise when disturbed. Something you might consider, when a bird is alerting on you, find it and look at it .. walk up to a tree and grab some leaves, put the leaves to your mouth and turn your back to the bird. It'll stop its noise. That's a Choctaw tracker method of quieting alerting forest birds! You're Welcome!
rob if you are not a felon and can carry a gun you should being out in the wilderness alone is not good ! don't take so many chances, yes those were human footsteps no doubt's about it be ready for anything !
@@Hike-ALOT first and foremost, thanks for the comment my friend. I generally thought I was alone, then when I found out I wasn’t…it literally throw me off my game. As for the setup on making the video? I use a tripod for my phone, I use adobe express for the editing and creating…if that’s what you mean
@@Rob.hikermanthanks. I was mostly curious if you were using an external mic and if so which one. I’ve tried a few different ones and can’t decide which I prefer.
@@Hike-ALOT ahhh, so I’ve tried using deadcat microphones and didn’t like the sound. Found them too tinny and not natural imo. I think phones these days are much better to handle the elements. Having said that, on a windy summit…I think music is the best cover 😂
@@Rob.hikermanyeah I’ve been chasing the dead cat lately and don’t love it. Thanks….was curious. And yes tossing some music over works quite well too. 😅
@@talesfromthepubshed I’ve just watched that part back 5 times now and it gets stranger every time I look and zoom in! That’s kinda freaky 😬. I guess the research I did lately, is true 😶. I’ve come across five different cases of bodies found (some grim). Maybe it’s a dark entity 🤷🏻♂️, there’s one thing for sure…my eyes are wide open in those woods
@@Rob.hikerman I can here a lot of industrial noise around the woods where you are, Doesn’t surprise me you have Homeless ect there, I’m really lucky as Dartmoor is my Wild camp ground & very rarely do you have any trouble as it’s so vast & you can lose yourself easily. Fantastic place for solo camping, I have a stupid Labrador that would not protect me from anything 🤣 Definitely getting a German Shepard next 🙂
@@LisaRockscryout-c1i check out part two Lisa, I’ll explain the area. But you are right, there’s construction happening across the river not too far away. People automatically think… woods…..no civilisation, middle of nowhere and the nearest town or road being 100 miles away. Welcome to England!
You shouldn't camp there man if you don't feel safe doing so. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. People can be dangerous and desperate and harm you and steal your shite mate
These videos suck one sight of a homeless or anyone else in the woods and they start tripping hard oh my there gonna kill me there up to know good then they leave WHAT A JOKE
Wow you got too close there they were coming for you!! 100% 😮 creepy and scary ferrel people!!! I'd of gone as soon as I noticed them and so shud you!!! Curiosity killed the cat as we say. Great video even though they cut it short!! 😊
@@helenwrigley4125 curiosity certainly did! Thanks Helen, appreciate the comment and thanks for watching. I’m heading back to those woods in a few weeks 🤭
@Rob.hikerman I know you said you've got a knife, but there are more of them so several knives possibly 🤔 therefore I think your mad going back!!! Are you going alone? 👀 💩🤣

My better half introduced me to your Channel, i've now subscribed........as a big Footie fan i'd be interested to know who you played for if you dont mind me asking.............on the video, you did the right thing, you can't trust anyone these days, i'd love to start camping in the woods but dont have the bottle so will stick to sites with my better half and Sid the dog 😁
@@winkyridg let’s just say I didn’t become a millionaire from the sport mate. I was forced to quit in my early twenties due to an injury. The confidence will come with every camp, and it’s a lot easier doing it with someone else when starting out. Ps, there’s nothing wrong with campsites 🤷🏻♂️. ATB to you and yours
I like your content thus far and I think you’ll have a great channel. I look forward to watching.
Now who was stalking whom 🤔😄? Hey I was in a similar situation recently. I was about to setup camp when something didn’t “feel” right, I’m a male and military veteran and the hair was standing up full on spider sense! So I packed up and left. Found out the police found a start up active meth lab not 50 yards from my found camp site.
It’s funny how some things can be right under your nose and you’re oblivious to it. Then all of a sudden, like you said…the hairs stand up and senses go crazy! I’ve been in some sketchy situations on solo camps, thinking it’s just my mind and keep calm. Glad you’re liking the content thus far 🙏🏻. ATB
At 12min 50 sec play it slow motion you can see a human figure over your left shoulder move and duck down
I looked but couldn’t see anything, but I take your word for it
I saw whoever it was ! Thanks for the info.
2 mins in and I subscribed…….. seriously creepy 😳
@@TheLyricah thank you for watching. It was a little nerving at times, but I did get a little too curious. In future I’ll just sneak off and leave.
@@Rob.hikermanwe always trust our gut, yes…….. the look of relief on your face when you got to the path!! I felt that as well.
Look,you’re strange to them too,,unless they threaten you way leave in your camp site.
I mean…. I am strange, I’m talking to myself in the middle of the woods. They probably thought I’m a nutter 🤷🏻♂️
Well I'd have been straight out of there and showing the tarp set up in my back garden between the apple trees 🤣🤣.
I felt nervous for you lol.
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment 😂😂 maybe I’ll find two palm trees on a desert island, do the whole cast away “how to survive” while sinking some beer 🥳😂. It’s safe to say I won’t go ahead and camp there, well not alone anyway 😅
Is that public land? Seemed to be a nice foot path, plenty of other activity in the area. Glad you made it out safe! Stay vigilant!
@@OldManMetal-li8zu the local council installed a path this year 👌🏻. Eyes and ears always peeled
Rob, that looks like one creepy cabin ! 👹☠️💀👀✌️
Well as you can now see, in the UK even the great outdoors has become a unsafe place to visit with the chance of coming across immigrants who are only most likely their to hide away for various reasons that most likely mean no good!!! I bet the crime rate has gone insane in the rural areas adjacent to small towns & city's that have been set aside for migrant populations to be placed. No wonder the government & local councils have no idea what is going on & have lost control of this unfettered concern by the general public. Good luck Robby!!! Thanks for sharing. 👍
@@skichy4793 Thank you, and my pleasure. Take care
@@Rob.hikerman The pleasure is all mine Sir!!! Thanks for the reply!!! 👍
Little bit of scaremongering going on there.Maybe they are scared of being caught.
Nice videos Rob. Good luck with the channel
@@Art.of.allotments thanks Arthur, I’m glad you like them and I appreciate the comment. ATB Arty
I already subcribed. Thank for you nice clip😁👍
Thanks Kimmy! Appreciate it 😊
Definitely footsteps, they should just mind their own business to be honest with you. Everyone is allowed to camp in the woods at the end of the day.
Totally agree with you
That plane in the beginning is a demon. Yep!
Haha he comes in all shapes and sizes
Whats weird, is that every time you stopped walking and looked around. I could still hear the sound of somebody walking, really close. Yet I saw nobody. Never yake a rick, unless you are armed, or have really good weapons. Def dont camp in the same place, especially with others knowing where you camp. Thats just too dangerous.
Even when I wasn’t walking, I could hear them or someone lurking. Even when armed or have precautions, risks shouldn’t be taken or at the very least I keep them minimal
The woods should be for everyone . But its not safe to be walking alone.i also think your camera upset these people. It also saved you. They didn't come in plain sight.🇨🇦
Sometimes you gotta just know your limits and say…maybe next time and leave
Be safe out there
@@wayneburdick2129 I will, safety first
There are alot of videos like this. Just say "Hello" "nice day for it"... Be nice, be confident, don't show fear. If they are rude say, "Charming, good day sir"...
John, I totally agree with everything you said matey. If I ever bump into them next time, I’ll be sure to. Thanks for commenting and watching my friend. Take care
sounded like a car alarm going off there !
@@GloriaEsparsen-q6l I thought it was some personal alarm of some sort. But it could of been a car alarm, although there’s no parking for a mile
Bit scary mate. When I wild camp near people I often hide my camp in thick foliage so I can hear anyone nearby 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
@@davidneal6920 out of sight, out of mind matey. This was meant to be a quick video on setting up a tarp. I had no idea what was lurking around me! I just hope they move on soon
@@Rob.hikerman agree. I live in New Zealand and sometimes camp out of my truck off old tracks near rivers when duck hunting or fishing. Quite often backing the truck along an overgrown logging track is all that is neeeded
I find a big dog a helpful deterrent 😂
@@Roughnready8 I have an American Pitbull. He sleeps 12 hours a day and is scared of the dark 😂
@@Roughnready8😂
it sounds like they are very close to you with those footsteps !
@@GloriaEsparsen-q6l too close haha
I thought you were Carl Froch.
In future, just keep a boiler suit and hockey mask in your bag. If you hear or see something dodgy, put that on and you won't get any trouble.
The cobra 😂. I’ll dig it out for a Halloween special 👌🏻
i would probably just jog out of there ! quickly , you can hear foot steps around you
I didn’t hang around too long!
I'm going to sub up right now 🙌🏽
Thank you 🙏🏻
Look up the name Israel Keyes, he is dead now by his own hand. He used to go out in the woods and hunt people. He was a real creep. He led a double life. Because of him and others I could never be comfortable out in the woods ever again. Used to camp up near Mount Rainier and it was awesome times.
@@SuperEholmes I just looked him up, wow! If I’m camping in a new area on my own, I can be on edge.
They were 10-15 metres from you when the bird was distress calling, mid way through the video. I always listen to the wildlife.
@@-TimZambra I saw someone else comment on that. Is it a warning? If so, I’ll pay more attention to wildlife signals
@@Rob.hikerman A warning in the sense that someone was too close to its likely nesting area and it would have been both signalling its mate and doing its best to warn off the intruder.
@@Rob.hikerman Another sign that there are significant predators around is when everything goes completely silent, just fyi.
Yes I also heard the bird warning. I'd trust nature more than people.
When in the woods that's public and camping you should try wearing green gear are something that doesn't stick out like you're jacket and backpack safe
@@Macandme124 I think you misread my description and perhaps what I actually said in the video….a quick video on how to setup a tarp, which I later went on to say I’m “not camping”. As for colour schemes, i usually wear greens and earth tones in the woods. Thanks for the comment though. Hope you enjoyed the video
@@Rob.hikerman well any time heading in to the woods with camping gear it's good to blend in this day and age there is a lot of unvetted criminals from the 3rd world fluded in UK and Europe. Safe
Thanks Paula, glad you enjoy my channel. Work in progress I may say.
You’re welcome, I love watching your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing. ☺️x
If someone or persons unknown stalked me, they would really regret it. Especially at night. i would be prepared (night vision) and they would soon become the hunted. I have been involved in martial arts for many years, including military training and several which was specifically for termination.
Hilarious, you’re a clown.
Full on Rambo!
Times have changed. The things we once liked to do aren't that safe anymore. Should go with you gut instinct and set up camp somewhere else completely
The world is certainly a different place these days. I’ve picked a spot for an upcoming solo woodland camp this week. It’s quiet, and I know the area well.
Who was that walking I heard footsteps
Creepy eh
You need to be very careful
I know, I’d like to say I get wiser the older I get…. But somethings are unavoidable. Thanks for commenting
Hike faster, I hear banjos!
@@kayblench2537 😂😂
That was hairy, they probably watching you😮 Wouldve been better if they were English and there were two of you. Imagine a female walking her dog through there
@@anniejones1839 that’s what I was thinking, a young girl or a lady walking through…
walking in the middle of the woods with her dog...? not even camping but like where he was is somewhere you walk in the middle of the woods.. are you mad?
WOW awesome video :)
@@jonathanhunter-y5d thank you
I'm interested in camping never done it before
@@EmzZone42 start small and close to home. Or campsites! I love the freedom and nature
This is the first video iv come across of your channel and I enjoyed it enough to subscribe. But dude, u kinda created the situation, i didnt see nothing to be paranoid over lol. Also it wasn't a wild camp scenario, it was a stealth camp as u were in a place wherethe public is very close.
Appreciate the sub mate. The mind can play funny tricks on you 😅. But you’re right, I created the situation 🤦🏻♂️
no doubt being in the woods can bend the mind lol, and its always best to be cautious, i like your channel a lot, still got plenty to view and look forward to videos to come. il always give a thumbs up and drop a comment or 2.. keep doing what u do dude 😎
Blimey just seen your video my god I really hope your going to be alright 😮
@@carlystevens3983 I’m heading back soon, now that I’ve researched the area. There’s a lot of paranormal activity with a unsolved murder, a nobleman galloping through on his horse, bodies found. I’ll be careful, but now I’m armed with the facts…I’m looking forward on doing another video. Thanks for commenting
@Rob.hikerman just be careful out there I watch alot of paranormal stuff on TH-cam but came across your video and had me on the edge my god your a risk taker lol 😆
I love the woods but you can't get a way from them these days
@@DeanParratt unless you either own them (woods) or live in the middle of nowhere
new subscriber here. stay safe
Welcome aboard! And thank you 😊
My anxiety is going through the roof 😅
@@EmzZone42 wait to you see the follow video to this! I’m done some research and I’ll think differently when cutting through…especially at night
Could notice 2 different persons far from where you were while walking.
@@Thamizhvelga there were definitely two people there
two against one is a challenge my friend unless you have a gun ready , wow deliverance not good !
I believe there’s a group of them when I went back the second time in another video.
open borders Britain ....
In the high trust society, that we used to call the United Kingdom, we wouldnt be so bothered if we came upon a Cornish or Welsh man.....
The days of leaving your door unlocked or playing outside for hours on end until dark, parents not batting an eyelid where you are… well and truly over my friend.
Of course all dark skins are dangerous.😂
Four times i heard footsteps when you went firm, and they sounded very close.
Too close for comfort Brian! I probably should have just left straight away, rather than sticking around. The footsteps and voices (which the camera didn’t pick up much) were definitely close and around me
@@Rob.hikerman ive had some very strange encounters in some of the forests in the low land, especially round the coast in moray where there were a few air bases during ww2.
I dont tend to stick around in them forests anymore, i like to get out on the rolling hills so i get plenty of warning if anyone or thing tries to creep up on me lol.
@@Rob.hikermancuriocity!! Gets the better of me sometines, im always going out in my old army kit so it makes it much more difficult for them to spot me when i hunka down. Had a few very close calls!
Better luck next time, stay safe!
Everyday is a school day, I’ll be back out. Thanks for the comment, ATB
That bird noise is not a British bird. Maybe a parakeet
@@anyatranter5588 in the south of England, we have millions of wild parakeets. Not originally a nature bird, so you’re right. However, they are ever present now
Get yourself some Self defence spray, better than a knife ..might come in handy one day.
@@whiskymacable not a bad shout Vic. Thanks for commenting. ATB
i would not like being stalked like that at all , ! got to
Not when you can’t see them. Well I did at first then moved on quickly
Well Georgie boy the things you see when you go in the woods without a gun
@@DavidBrothers-j2o this is 🇬🇧 my friend 🤷🏻♂️
Or8 chief..... im confused on this one, i thought the big scary cabin would be in your video
@@The_Versatile_Camper Hey Danny! Hope you’re well matey. Maybe I’ll do a part ii and see if I can camp right next to them. Actually, I wouldn’t risk it 😂. I think the cabin looks better than a tent, I mean…their tent might be a palace in their eyes 😉. Thanks for commenting buddy
I dont understand I must have missed something its public lands other folks can camp why are you feelimg they are stalking you?
@@MontanaThompsons here in England, wild camping is illegal. So therefore…you can’t just simply pitch up a tent in the woods and make it your new home. I didn’t mention the “lions tigers and bears” just in case that would attract more questions. I definitely saw a Robin (bird) though
You have lions & tigers?! Think not.
@@truebluedots4776He was joking. 🤦♂️
Just not worth the risk. You are always going to have more than people that have been loving rough so defiantly could be a target.
@@Truth1561 totally agree, some things are just not worth the hassle or risk.
A lot of "aircraft noises", in my view, this is an unsafe area-that plane flying will cover the sounds made by anyone, moving closer to you. I really hope you were armed with something more than a knife!?
@@Cube_Ernator1077 my camera 🤷🏻♂️. The robin was watching out for me and I managed to live to tell a tale. I think there’s a lot of comments and misunderstanding on the location of the woods. I live in London near one of the worlds busiest airports, so noise is edible unfortunately
@@Rob.hikerman Oh, England ..you have restrictive gun laws like we, in Australian too. Be safe-good video!
@@Rob.hikerman Yes, birds make a lot of noise when disturbed.
Something you might consider, when a bird is alerting on you, find it and look at it .. walk up to a tree and grab some leaves, put the leaves to your mouth and turn your back to the bird.
It'll stop its noise. That's a Choctaw tracker method of quieting alerting forest birds!
You're Welcome!
rob if you are not a felon and can carry a gun you should being out in the wilderness alone is not good ! don't take so many chances, yes those were human footsteps no doubt's about it be ready for anything !
@@GloriaEsparsen-q6l oh they were definitely footsteps
It’s always weird when you think you’re alone only to find out you aren’t. Nice audio on the video, very crisp. What’s your set up?
@@Hike-ALOT first and foremost, thanks for the comment my friend. I generally thought I was alone, then when I found out I wasn’t…it literally throw me off my game. As for the setup on making the video? I use a tripod for my phone, I use adobe express for the editing and creating…if that’s what you mean
@@Rob.hikermanthanks. I was mostly curious if you were using an external mic and if so which one. I’ve tried a few different ones and can’t decide which I prefer.
@@Hike-ALOT ahhh, so I’ve tried using deadcat microphones and didn’t like the sound. Found them too tinny and not natural imo. I think phones these days are much better to handle the elements. Having said that, on a windy summit…I think music is the best cover 😂
@@Rob.hikermanyeah I’ve been chasing the dead cat lately and don’t love it. Thanks….was curious. And yes tossing some music over works quite well too. 😅
10 minutes in I'm just thinking go
@@EmzZone42 yeah my gut told me the same thing.
@@Rob.hikerman I always trust my gut
It's probably homeless camp ground
More than likely, however the area is known to be sinister
You walking in urban woods. A bird is alarm calling and you are still there?
You think that’s what the little robin was doing? God help me on Friday night on my solo camp in the woods then haha.
there are loud foot steps close by you !
Too close for comfort
just found ya today. Do you beleive in Bigfoot and/or dogman? you should because there is one of each in the back ground at 19:14
@@billbranch1403 I’ve not heard of dogman, but I do love a good documentary on the elusive big foot.
18:49 you can see someone behind you ☹️
@@talesfromthepubshed I’ve just watched that part back 5 times now and it gets stranger every time I look and zoom in! That’s kinda freaky 😬. I guess the research I did lately, is true 😶. I’ve come across five different cases of bodies found (some grim). Maybe it’s a dark entity 🤷🏻♂️, there’s one thing for sure…my eyes are wide open in those woods
@@Rob.hikerman I can here a lot of industrial noise around the woods where you are, Doesn’t surprise me you have Homeless ect there, I’m really lucky as Dartmoor is my Wild camp ground & very rarely do you have any trouble as it’s so vast & you can lose yourself easily. Fantastic place for solo camping, I have a stupid Labrador that would not protect me from anything 🤣 Definitely getting a German Shepard next 🙂
@3:40 there is a female voice but you can’t make out what was said.
I done some research on these woods yesterday, it’s had a few deaths, including a murder. I’ll do a revisit soon. Thanks for commenting 😊
Who’s stalking who?
😂🤭 I come in peace! Honest 😂
@@Rob.hikerman bahahahaha!!!
Well thats 10 min Ill never get back...looks like just a local walking trail...try going into the real woods off a woods road, less people.
Real woods? 🤭👀. Thanks for taking time to comment.
I don't see anything dangerous
Never mind, maybe it’s for the best you didn’t. Thanks for taking your time to leave a comment though 👍🏻
Carlos: You must be homeless; you're comfortable amongst criminals.
How u know if they are criminals Karen ..I mean Doris
You sound like you're right next to construction somewhere and aircraft constantly flying over.. how in the woods could u possibly be?
@@LisaRockscryout-c1i check out part two Lisa, I’ll explain the area. But you are right, there’s construction happening across the river not too far away. People automatically think… woods…..no civilisation, middle of nowhere and the nearest town or road being 100 miles away. Welcome to England!
You shouldn't camp there man if you don't feel safe doing so. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. People can be dangerous and desperate and harm you and steal your shite mate
Absolutely mate! It’s a strange different world we live in these days. Thanks for commenting John
@@Rob.hikerman always mate. Take care.
These videos suck one sight of a homeless or anyone else in the woods and they start tripping hard oh my there gonna kill me there up to know good then they leave WHAT A JOKE
@@toneydriver3459 well thanks for watching anyway Toney. Everyone is entitled to their comments. All the best sir 👍🏻
Wow you got too close there they were coming for you!! 100% 😮 creepy and scary ferrel people!!! I'd of gone as soon as I noticed them and so shud you!!! Curiosity killed the cat as we say. Great video even though they cut it short!! 😊
@@helenwrigley4125 curiosity certainly did! Thanks Helen, appreciate the comment and thanks for watching. I’m heading back to those woods in a few weeks 🤭
