As I head out excited seeking new adventure in the eerie yet beautiful fog and rain, my night in the woods was cut short by the disturbing sounds of creeping in the woods. I try to justify the sounds being of falling branches and rain until I hear footsteps getting closer to my camp. Then I see it! I wasn’t alone. It was time for me to leave. Always listen to your gut. Listen to your instincts.

I think someone doesnt want you camping there like a scarecrow is for crows, this ghost is for campers.
I own a large acreage in the US, but like to solo camp on public lands. I go to places most people don't venture. So far, the few humans I've encountered have been friendly and polite. Like you, if I ever get the feeling I'm not safe, I'm leaving. So far, that hasn't happened. Before I camp on public lands, I thoroughly check it out. If something doesn't look right, I go elsewhere. I'm a big, healthy guy and and handle most problems, but when I camp, I just want peace and solitude. I'm not spoiling for a fight. Trust me. I can win a fight, but that's not what I want. Tomorrow night, I'm going hammock camping on my own land just to test out some new gear. Should be easy.
Definitely some weirdos about mate. Trust ya gut.
It's mad being out in nature not having to worry about anything except for you have to worry about other humans how mad is that
Yea animals no problem humans, no thanks 😅
The only thing that makes camping scary is the people that patrol them. Trust your gut... Never go against it.
I remember one time i was camping with a group on a mountain near a lake and one of my friends was scared during the night. Because of some noises outside his tent. Turns out it was just sheep that time 😉
But well done for listening to your gut Josh, like you said its better safe than sorry and I'm so glad that you realised that, regardless of what was actually out there😊
Josh, the most dangerous animal you will ever encounter out in the wild is other people. They can be real random. You wouldn't have been able to relax or settle down to sleep if you had stayed. The dogs barking proved something or someone was out there. I wouldn't have stayed either.
The most horrific thing about that vid was you leaving the back side of the ghost sheet all creased up and not neatly over the stump! My OCD had me wanting to peal the skin off my face 😂😂. All jokes aside that was bloody creepy! Them footsteps would of made my ass drop out! All the signs where there to leave definitely did the right thing! I've noticed a few videos from uk now where strange stuff has happened and they have all been camping around lorrel trees. It's probably coincidence, Them long tangled branches definitely give off a horror movie vibe especially with mist and rain.
Thanks for sharing josh.
all the best stay safe be well. 👍
Hehe that's so funny! The ocd is real! Was a strange camp for sure. Not the first strange one and I'm sure it won't be the last. Just looking forward to getting again without having to leave.
It bothered me too that he didn't put the sheet back properly. I don't have OCD. Well, I don't think I do. 😁😁😁
Enjoyed the video though.
Never, ever ignore your gut instinct! Thanku for sharing was a strange one…. Your safety is paramount! 💞
I love nature. I love the fresh, clean air. No cars. No people. Just peace and quiet. But there are bad people out there. They don't want you to enjoy your life. I'll call the police and report them for harassment.
I had a camp once in my fav spot in the woods , id hammocked there loads of times so quite , peaceful , i was reading a book i put it down as it was getting too dark to see , something was telling me i have to go pack up and leave some kind of energy i dont know what to call it , i knew i was not in any danger i was just being told to leave now !!! i packed up so quickly and walked in the dark with a torch through the wood then another wood , across fields all the time something an energy , force was following me , i had an over whelming feeling that it was making sure i was going home but making sure i was safe , i felt it stop but still there when i reach the edge of my housing estate , just making sure i was safe , i can not explain it , ive been back loads of times since and camped and felt very welcomed josh is right listen to yourself its no big deal going home x

I never camp unarmed. With NODs and a weapon you are the king of the forest. Hooah, Brother
Been waiting for an American to pipe up about weapons. I'd be too scared to pitch a tent in the USA. Not because of wild animals or homeless people. It would be the paranoid trigger happy armed to the teeth campers, who consider themselves normal!
It used to be customary to announce your presence to a camp before coming in, skulking around the perimeter of a camp was was a big no-go and considered threatening. Definitely right to pack up if intuition is on high alert.
Indeed, very bad manners not to announce yourself but I guess very few people have experienced the dome of light of a campfire, how hard it is to see past it and how vulnerable it makes you feel.
Josh this is the very first video I have watched all the way through i think everything you did i would had done except for having just hatchet n blade on the side i would had brought a firearm of some sorts .I do live across the pond though so things are different I guess .I hope to continue to follow your content alot more you seem down to earth quite intelligent n interesting .I have love for the outdoors as well but I'm 52 in bad shape health is dodgy at best so I enjoy watching other people enjoy nature who have common sense thank you for all you do to bring content it's good stuff God bless
Thank you buddy I appreciate your support and I hope you enjoy the upcoming camps. I wish you all the best with your health. 💚
As the old saying goes its better to be safe than sorry , I live on a narrowboat so when I Moore up on a wild moorings I'm like you when you set up camp because the first thing I do is look around to see if my spot is safe
Josh buddy, sorry to see you needing to leave . From all your videos that I've watched, I know you don't get nervous. Stay safe be well and God bless
You done the right thing. I had to leave a couple of times, the worse was at night hearing movement then what topped it was the voices around my camp while I was alone. If you don't feel safe, it's best to cut your losses. Good on you for sharing 👍🏻
we did a camp few weeks back and I heard a woman's voice , talking only low didn't hear any body speak back thought maybe somebody walking nearby n on her phone , although strange in the pitch black gone midnight!! my hubby was sorta half asleep said he didn't hear then literally 2 mins later again heard the same voice ! hubby got out the tent and shone the torch around couldn't see anybody. we've had several unexplained events whilst camping.
100% with you Josh. I truly believe God was guiding you in that situation. We live in strange times and we need to be spiritually wise as well as worldly wise. I love your channel and pray often for you and your family. God bless you 🙏
I appreciate your prayers for my family thats very thoughtful. Thank you for your support brother!
Amen brother truth 💯🙏
Here in America if you hunt or camp regularly; you are very aware that there are Sabe AKA Squatches this is a VERY REAL REALITY Pls dont take this lightly! Like i said most of us who are out in the wilderness are very aware of their presence
Probs a bunch of travellers doing a bit of poaching?
I learnt after from locals that does happen there!
One sureway to help yourself feel safe or certain get yourself a lil doggie my parson can sniff a fart in a hurricane and hear a mouse sneaking about why early man made them they have the senses we've lost.
Love that you believe in God.👏👏
🙌🏻
I AGREE
I did smile at that myself..👍
100% agree...that was weird Josh.
Good call 👍
Very strange bro! Hope to camp with you soon pal 🤙🏻
Our sixth sence is in us for a reason
Smart man
Ty for sharing
Hey Josh! I am glad you left early. Whenever things seem weird it's better to leave and be safe, you'll always have another campout. Unfortunately evil is real; whether it is Is people, satan, or other. It's better to flee when things don't seem right. I really enjoy your videos, your channel, and you're attitude. Glad you're safe and I'm looking forward to the next video of fun in the wilderness. Be well and God bless.🙂
When something starts feeling bad in the gut... go. Just go. Fear, while hailed as something to "get over", is also an ancient instinct for survival. Take care out there. The woods are beautiful and healing but can also be dangerous in more ways than one.
Ay m8 my 4 last camps you won’t believe but the first I’d got fire going then bout 100m away this red headlight was just stood staring at me, couldn’t see the person as dark in woods, I just freaked put fire out and packed my tarp as not got sleep system out yet and kept out without headlight on nearly feckin blinded myself on branches, next was a wood near peny fan and torches coming towards us and someone gone missing on the hills and search party out looking thought it was us, then thetford forest got dark fire going food on probably 20 torches and headlights coming towards us from firebreak we bailed to the road quick then next wood camp near where I live not for from raf base but camped there loads got dark fire going food on helicopter hovering went away came back shining light down on us put fire out it went then a drone came over searching for us so legged it across fields rang mrs come pick us up in a near village, that’s my 4 last camps u wouldn’t believe it would you i think someone try to tell me something and it’s put me off to be honest as I just be looking for lights all time
Sounds like some crazy times bro! Don't blame you. Dont let it put you off just find somewhere more private I say.
Well you shouldn't have warrants out for your arrest, if you want to be left alone!
Wasn't a red headlight lol, 850nm ir torch on a nightvision scope :-p
@@OldNavajoTricks yeah probably lol
@Nofixedabode859 you ever camp at pontsticl resivour by any chance thats just off penyfan
when i was young my dad told me not to fear the woods or the dark alot of the time city people will freak them self right out and then go home but that fealing you have is normal u just get used to it ive been all over scotland sleeping ruff on my own and you do meet some crazy people out there but me walking aorund scottland was a bit crazy anyway just be more crazy then they are lol
I like it! I'll be more crazy 🤙🏻😆

Things happen as we both know!
Its been over a year since I did a solo
I'll get back on the horse soon as I used to love it 🌲🔥
Yes defo get on that horse again it's a beautiful thing.
Definitely did the right thing there mate if something is not feeling right get out off there 👍💯
You did what you should have Josh. If you fancy a great read check out ‘ The Gift of Fear’ by De Becker! It explains why you did the right thing. Love the channel!!
I'll check it out! Thank you
Right decision to leave mate. Think that Robin was trying to warn you 😅
Haha a few people have said that lol
It’s my s.o.p standard operational procedure to pufo…pack up and F off…when I suspect I’ve been rumbled!….this is why I stealth camp with my old military camo gear! Great video! New subber.
Great video Josh, very enjoyable. That was a good call on leaving, I’ve had a few experiences of my own where my gut just tells me something isn’t right and I need to leave, so I pack up and go. I look forward to the next one, all the best, Brian.
Cheers buddy! Next one will be a chill one I'm sure 😁
I was out on my own a while ago, fire going, food cooking & a couple of beers already drank. Got spooked by someone/thing coughing!! Ended up just making noise myself!! Couldn't pack up & go to the car ... already had the beers. Anyway, long story short a colleague at work suggested that sheep cough!! I still don't know if they do but there was a flock about 100m from me.
Could be the sheep for sure! But sometimes you do hear noises that you can't explain.
Yea, deer can make some weird noises too.
I could see you were off ballance and that first meeting with "Casper" threw you off. Never ignore your "Spidey Sense" God had your back there mate.
Great video and I think you were right in your choice of leaving. Just out of interest, what is the jacket you were using?
Cheers buddy! I got it from go army. It's brilliant! Best jacket I ever bought. I added a link in description as I do with all my gear but you'll be able to find it on there. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for 🤙🏻
So many people have lost the ability to trust their instincts. I am so glad you got out of there. The Robin seemed a sign as well that things weren’t right. Stay safe Josh ! We sure enjoy your outings. ❤from a Nomad in USA
Yes, Robins are well known to be harbingers of doom. Plus you shouldn't stay in the woods if you hear noises, as there shouldn't be anything else in there. Some folk shouldn't venture outdoors, they just aren't suited.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR CAMPING TRUE STORIES......GOD PROTECT YOU IN JESUS CHRIST NAME....SOUTH AFRICA
You need a bigger 🔪
Haha a sword 🤣
Thank you for the vidéo in France aslo it rains a lot
Hi Josh, Thank you for your honesty. If the truth is known we have all experienced something that puts us on edge. Wild camping alone especially in a woodland can create those feelings. You did the right thing. Stay safe and enjoy the wild brother
.. you never know what people have used that part of forest for. Witchcraft can attract stuff ...
Thankyou for sharing that,big respect to you, you did the right thing on getting out of them woods
I appreciate that
Love your honesty, openness and courage in sharing this. Instinct, god, our soul, they do talk to us, lead us, guide us if we listen. At least that’s what I believe. Take care.

Betting it was someone with their dog....but they were definitely not behaving normally. It would have been a miserable night. It could have been the people that put up casper.
Civilization is a thin veneer.
Hi why don't you get a dog to go on your solo camps for company mans best friend a lot of TH-cam campers have one xx😊
I had my dog once. Damn thing stood at the door of my tent growling for a hour tell I packed up and took his ass home. Never took him again 😅
@@leedavis5306 lol well that's that then x
@@lynnemaxwell8749😂that's that 🤣 maybe one day I'll have a dog 😁
Could possibly be a dog walker if your in local woods however the mind fabricates fear mate , got to think most of the horror films are based in the woods , but I do respect you for bailing i would also, when in doubt get out, a useful bit of kit would be a trail camera pointing at your camp very good idea if ever you had a confrontation cheap and light weight
during a night of camping last year I was woken up by about twenty coyotes in the woods where I was I preferred to pick up and leave I didn't feel well😅
That's crazy! I bet the noise was horrible
@@campingwithjosh Yes, the sound woke me up, but seeing the eyes in the light of my headlamp gave me the biggest thrill of my life, and I'm a bit of a daredevil, but that made my blood run cold.😂
Eerie mist, rain, strange noises, rustling in the bush, twigs cracking, slight barking and howling. Well sir, there is only one thing it could be... and that is.... The Hound of the Baskervilles.
In all serious though, well done for looking after yourself.
I can remember a camp I did a year ago and it didn't feel right. Similar situation to yours, misty, rain, hearing thuds. I stuck it out for a while then around 23:00 it was pitch black and I heard a deep thud behind my tent. I got out of my tent instantly ice cold with fear, switched on my head torch and looked behind my tent and saw a very large silhouette in the clearing with 2 large green eyes. Honestly, I froze solid and stopped breathing for a short spell. I genuinely felt terrified. After a few seconds the silhouette moved slightly and groaned with a large puff of smoke from its mouth. Then when my sense came back to me I realised it was a Cow. The relief I felt was such that I felt 10 stone lighter after the my fear dissipated.
But I couldn't relax then, I kept hearing other thuds and twigs cracking around my camp and the strange fear came back. I packed up and headed straight home.
Naughty cow lol glad it was just a cow tho and nothing more.
I think it's a good idea to trust your instincts. I'm just a little worried that a poor doggie was lost alone out there because I'm such a huge dog lover.
I just discovered your channel and this is the first video I came across, looking forward to more. Like others have said, always always always follow your gut and never 2nd guess yourself, if something doesn't feel right GTFO.
Thank you for your support and joining the adventure. Too right bro!
I'd say say someone was out lamping and didn't like you interrupting their plans
Used to hang out here all the time in my teens! Wont give up your location 😉 glad your safe and sound brother! ♥️
Hi josh.
Wow mate this was a spooky one.
I've really enjoyed your channel from day one but this particular video was an eye opener.
Glad you trusted your instinct mate and what a fantastic campfire story this will be in the future.
Stay safe brother and thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it even tho it was a spooky one. Think I'll share some more stories around the fire some time as I have a few lol
was a nice wood though some great spots just from the walk round
You do have to listen to your instincts, always. Watching this, mine are saying that being floodlit and talking loudly, before it's dark, in a wood where you have history of being rumbled by gangs of locals could either a) risk attracting more real human/canine attention; or b) make you paranoid you are, even if not.
I hope you find a better spot and/or the mental space to relax. But prioritising the techniques of stealth camping over making a well lit, talky TH-cam vid may give you more of a chance to stick it out. Sorry if that sounds a bit judgemental but it just seems such an obvious solution, to this rather nervous camper anyway...
Best of luck! 👍
Nah bro I appreciate your advice. I did think I made it a bit bright. Obviously brought attention to myself.
PS Never assume it's just kids playing.
I would have bailed too, for sure, what a spooky atmosphere! People can be super weird around stuff they don't understand (like wild camping), I used attend LARP events in foresty areas, and sometimes random people would just follow us around and watch us. Fair enough that they get curious about someone in chainmail in their local forest, but just ask and then leave me to it...
Absolutely! At least have a chat.
Thanks for sharing this Josh ..you did the right thing buddy staying safe always..
Looking forward to the next adventure with you 👍
More to come!
Man, I’ve been it that situation. Im very hardy nowadays in the woods and sleep like a baby, but once I saw a man on my thermal camera, walking very quietly through the woods about 50 meters away. It was dark and he (or she) wasn’t using a torch. They disappeared after a minute. Why were they there in the dark with no torch? That spooked me and I headed out. Had other experiences also or torches in the night, screams etc…. Yet I keep going out. You now have got to go back there and brave a night. Borrow my thermal camera ! 😂
I should defo get one!
The creepiest thing is how they were able to keep their dog quiet when crashing around your camp that’s some good training. No point in sticking around when there are plenty enough weirdos who will be more than anti social enough to try and scope out whether they’re able to take you on or not. If there was someone there it sounds like they were doing exactly that and trying to figure out if you were alone or not.
I think it would be hard for them to keep their dog quiet when we can hear it being quite vocal as you were leaving.
Could be a vagrant camping out in the woods trying to figure out if you were a threat to them too.
Did you have a reccy around when you went back to see if there was evidence of another camp recently used?
I might have to head in and look especially to see if the camp fire wood has been moved. It could have been two separate people as the dog was heard when I packed up and heard once leaving field. I definitely someone in there as I saw them but I would have heard his dog move about with him. Who knows but defo won't be camping in those woods again. Strange things before have happened to me whilst camping in different areas of those woods.
Good choice mate i think, never underestimate ur gut feeling.. it can be like that camping alone, but i gjink u made a good choice to leave. Good on ya mate for sharing ur experience and being very open bout it. Much respect! 🙏
Thanks 👍 appreciate your support
I got a little cabin in the woods a while back. On the first night, I bailed. Drove home in the middle of the night for hours. Slept in my bed but right the next day I came back to the cabin and had an awesome night!
It's great you wasnt put off. Got to trust your gut.
There's a lot of these wild camping videos out lately where they are leaving their camps due to something not feeling right? Right? Wonder why 😂
Many do it To get audience and clicks, city folks love this kind of things since they never adventure out.
I can't speak for them and like I said in the video I'm aware of them so wasn't wanting to share originally because I know some people might be sceptical which is understandable. I have witnessed very strange things in the past but as I was out filming this one I thought maybe someone might find it helpful to be honest. Defo was strange seeing someone hide behind the bushes when I was there and hearing them. I'm glad I got out this time. As once when I decided to stay others turned up like I shared at the end of video. Be assured this wasn't a video I intentionally went out to make. 💚
@@carmenmartinez2882 You are 100% correct. My thoughts exactly.
Me and a friend, both in seperate tarps, both heard footsteps right outside our shelters. Looked out, nobody there. Being two of us did make the difference though. You did right to bale out.
I once asked you if you ever got scared camping on your own ,well now I no and I can't blame you .staying safe is paramount at all times Josh ,ou should have saved this one for Halloween. Looking forward to your next camp hopefully with friends lol .stay safe love your vids .x
It happens now and again but I don't normally get someone hiding behind a bush watching. Strange night but glad I moved on. 🤙🏻
Braver soul than I.
Absolutely you did the right thing!
✌✌Hey Josh, thanks for sharing this and your feelings and your instincts, you showed amazing determination, bravery and composure during this. We salute you!! I reckon I'd have gone after seeing that Casper sheet hehe. For me, you absolutely made the right choice and I look forward to your future camps, shelter builds, dens, overnights or indeed making chips at side of the River, love all your videos as they show possibilities in a relaxed and interesting way, take care Josh, be well and see ya soon.✌✌
I'll make some nice chips soon and shout you out ha. Cheers for the support.
@@campingwithjosh Anytime Josh, take care. Thank you.
Hi Josh, I'd say you did the right thing. Mind, from the start the signs were there and the Robin was there to warn you. Just a thought.
But good to highlight that things can go wrong for different reasons on a camp. Thankyou for sharing this Josh.
Thanks for your kind words. You never know that Robin maybe did😁 love Robins.
It's rude to come into another's camp. Very rude.
Yea, at least announce yourself and ask if you can come in.
Hello, new sub here, you were right to leave when you did, always go with your gut feeling. I'm am Kiowa, Native American from the United States!
Josh, great video! I need to ask: in the beginning when you are just about to enter the woods, there is a hollowed out treet with a burl inside the hollow. It looks like a person! Almost good enough rendition of someone to be artwork! Can you tell me: Did you notice if and/or if you ever go back can you film it close up and slowly? Thanks. And continue to tek care!
Never noticed it! Ill look now
Not sure if I see it but looks a bit odd.
Fear breeds fear. It is a natural human psychological response. I won't bash anybody personal beliefs because I'm not that sort of person, but you did the right thing to follow your gut/instinct. Statically speaking would you of been OK? Maybe? Possibly? But eventually that coin that you flip will come up tails not heads. It is thousands of years of human evolution screaming at you.
I had the same on my last camp - instinct just kicked in 👍👍
Got to listen to it
".... Let's have a look around"
This is how you know you'd survive in a horror film lol
Never had the knife away from me 😅
Poacher or Dog walker on your video, definitely poachers on your past experience.
Poachers? I will report them to the police. Everyone has the right to feel safe in nature. Hiking and camping are very popular. It is good for your body, mind and soul. The clean, fresh air. The peace and quiet. It's better than city life.
Quite possibly as I learnt after it happens there.
you are totally ignoring the little voice within that was telling you, something was up!
Don't ever do that!
All the markers on your story of what happened, while you were there, was indicative of a cryptid.
Everything went quiet 🤔
Why weren't the birds singing 🤔
So because someone was spying on you, or it was a dog, is not enough to cause everything to go quiet.
Educate yourself on cryptids, before you go camping again!
Check out Steve on knowledge of the round table.

I live in East TN so I'm surrounded by mountains (Smoky Mtns) so I've camped all my life and rule #1 around here is never go camping without a firearm. Good video and advice.
Grizzky Gaz had a bad experience with a stranger in the wood and he packed up and left
Oh was that the one with the strange tramp dude who just materialised from the woods and vanished again after having some food? Yeah you just know he was off to tell his mates about a potential mugging victim
Strange* tramp dude even, bloody autocorrect
@@theanachronist9125 yes thats the one
I saw that video. That tramp dude was up to no good and Grizzly did the right thing by leaving. Scary/Strange = Get the heck outta there!
Most encounters I have had are domestic dogs especially in Europe where they are more often left to roam.
Worst one was in the Black forest Germany.
I was cocooned in my bivy and it got within 5 meters before I pounced as fast as I could thinking it was a wild boar, still in a tangle with a knife in one hand and a torch in the other... This dog was huge... I blinded it with the torch, it took off down the slope banging into trees as it went.
I felt bad in hindsight, it cant have been being territorial or it would not have backed off, it probably wanted to say hello and I could have done with the company... It still took me a while to settle after that :)
Saw a camper van further down through the forest the morning after, must have been their dog.
Poachers and gamekeepers are the only humans that I imagine would be stealthing around in the dark... They will be afraid of you too so will be reluctant to announce themselves.
Only had one human creeping around, I was next to water so was probably in his favorite stealthy fishing spot.
An indicator when birds stop chirping all of a sudden could be related to something supernatural as Bad spirits tend to lurk in derelict places like the wood forests and caves' Supernatural spirits have been known to mimic animal noise sounds barking growling to give you a sense it's an animal' that's my theory on this one.
Having read 'the gift of fear' I've really learned to trust my instincts.
You went there to chill but you simply can't in those circumstances!
Thanks so much for your REAL talk. I watch so many of these videos where the illusion of safety is portrayed. Yes camping is fun but not taking risks is also important
100% Josh trust your gut thanks for sharing
Always!💚 Thank you
I wonder if the situation is like that in the UK...??? Are there criminals in the UK forests, thugs..??? not in my country, and were I to discover it, they would wish they were not, or had been present with me..!
Dude not to sure you was alone at 9mins 33 looks like some one moving right hand side at the edge of the tree line
You sure? I can't seem to see.
Fairly sure I could see it, far right hand corner of the screen, you have to zoom in, looks like someone walks past from right to left in the distance.
100% the right advice
If your gut says go and you listen to it, the absolute worst that can happen is you miss out on a nights camping.
99% of the time, its nothing, just your mind over-working, but that 1% needs to be considered - Always better to just go with your instincts, they've served us well and kept us on this world for several million years.
It’s deer. Sound like barking dogs when startled. Very scary sound. Wish I was brave enough to wild camp ❤️
I saw Yew there. A fog too. If you abide no traditions or superstitions yourself it'd do no harm for you to observe them. There's often a common sense to them. English Yew the tree of Death & the malevolent Side, the Boggart Bogeyman & his dog.
I love camping never done it alone, but you’d never catch me wild camping by myself unless it was truly out of the way and there were 0 signs of humans being there recently. I wouldn’t even feel comfortable starting a fire or turning on a torch, it makes you too visible. The best camping spot I’ve ever found was in wales, we climbed up the side of a hill that was covered in brambles but in the brambles were hidden tree stumps that made it like a ladder no one would’ve been able to get to us without us knowing.
You made the right choice. I would have done the same. Too many crazy people around these days.
Clickbait 😂
nah that was a great vid and well worth sharing. I'd a bloke before walk into camp way off the path and he advised me to go because there was alot of drugs hid in this forrest I didn't move but did wonder what he was doing that far in. What did happen is I dreamed about him coming back with a dog😅..
Yeah trust your gut. Everytime. If you're not supposed to be there, your gut will tell you(and the hairs on the back of your neck.) You did the right thing Josh.
Great video :-) Subbed
Thanks for the sub! 😁
I enjoyed solo primitive camping in the State Forest of Pennsylvania every other week, all year 2021-2023. I intended to hot tent camp last winter and continue thru 2024, but then suddenly God told me to stop. Then I learned about increasing encounters with cryptids (I never knew about) around the US, with clear videos to back up their stories. And the 'new people' are living in forests too, so I decided it was time to stop camping. Then, two weeks ago I was walking my dog on a trail in the State Park that surrounds my mountain top home. It was late morning when we were attacked by a raccoon with rabies. If I had not taken my walking stick, it would have been terrible for both of us. When the raccoon first made its presence known, Carmella was loose and ran the raccoon up a tree. I called her to me and put her on leash, continuing up the trail. I thought nothing of it at first. Then the raccoon followed us up the trail, chattering up a storm, trying to get my dog to chase it again. We stopped and it kept coming at us. When the raccoon got close and tried to bite my dog I hit it with my walking stick and it moved away briefly. We continued at a quick pace down the trail and the raccoon kept coming. I dropped my pack off trail, we circled back around as the raccoon followed us through the bushes, chattering constantly. We got back on trail and ran home up hill all the way; 1 mile. I am 60 years old with bad hips, but that didn't matter in the moment. I went back for my pack 4 days later. This experience has taken me out of my comfort zone, permanently. I now understand what it means to have a much higher level of being present, alert and situational awareness. Now, I carry a walking stick/spear with a sheath covered by a Raccoon puppet so it doesn't look like a self defense tool to passers by. For me, it is a reminder to stay mentally prepared and aware at all times. Since the raccoon encounter, I have had dreams of being stalked and attacked by various forest critters with rabies. Being hunted is a terrifying feeling, but I am using this experience to better prepare me for how this world has changed. Peace has been taken from the earth. Revelation 6:4
Hi, I think you did the right thing leaving in both situations. Whats on your side is your stature, the fact you are a man, your axe and camp knife.. however there is always someone who could potentially overpower you. And this world has got many ill intentioned individuals and or mentally twisted ones. You never know. and no one im guessing wants to have a physical confrontation middle of the woods at night. I left my camp once, at 3am, because i heard footsteps in the surrounding woods. I know the sounds of all woodland animals so yeah it could have been a stag as they are heavy but.. having no network would not been able to call for help. so i left my tent and sleep item, drove 1hr back home and came back the next day. I had camped in those wood before and even stayed a week previously. I always listen to my gut feelings. Also a sleepless night would have prevented me enjoying the next day, that and all the adrenaline from preparing to be attacked. It just isnt worth it! I actually feel safer byvying because its so discreet and im hidden in bushes. i slept under a rock few nights and felt very safe. Also.. I try not to use my torch when going through woods as i dont want to be easily spotted or followed to my chosen camp,( i trained to put up a tent in the dark by doing it blindfolded during the day.) this way i keep my night vision and my other senses become more acute.I also have a medium flask filled with hot water or tea in case someone attacks me in the tent, ill scold their face with this and make my escape, also i can use this metal flask to hit but that would be clumsy. I acquired an inconspicuous hiking tent, colour of the woods, and with two sides entry. I can come out both sides and have vision of my surroundings too.
Great video keep it up
