I’ll be the first to admit that I get scared relatively easily.
When my buddies asked myself and others to come along with them to go camping, I was really hesitant.
I never was sizable into camping but I did go a few times when I was younger with my family. I didn’t have a tent or anything however my friends said I could borrow their extra tent and sleeping bag. So the two of us made the choice to go out into the wilderness. It wasn’t an regular camping ground or anything and I was sad when it became dark in the middle of the woods. I started thinking about bears, wolves, and mountain lions and I was kind of sad for my life. We all were sitting around the fireplace with a roaring fire which was comfortable, but I kept hearing all these strange noises coming from the woods. I even heard the sound of wolves howling which made myself and others petrified. My buddies said they would not come to bother us because they did this all the time. When the two of us finally went to go sleep in our tents, I realized I didn’t have any kind of portable oil furnace system or anything to keep myself and others warm. I had to huddle up in my sleeping tote and I felt really cold. I kept trying to sleep but I couldn’t because I kept hearing silly noises from the woods, however eventually I went to 1 of my buddy’s tents where it was nice and toasty because he had a portable oil furnace running. I asked if I could sleep in there and he said it was no problem. I was absolutely able to get some sleep after that. Honestly after that experience, I don’t suppose I want to go camping again anytime soon.
