SOLO CAMPING: A Dreamy Tent Camping VLOG all alone!

[@carmela5695]

I would love to see a video on how you started solo camping! Tips on how to ease into it for beginners would be great!!

[@OnlyDarien]

Just do it! Don’t ease in just go for it

[@amanda.outside]

Thank you so much for watching! I love these relaxing camping trips with nothing on the to-do list. I hope you enjoyed this one, and that it was a little escape into the mountains for a few minutes. 💚

[@3Duncan3]

Do you have your sleeping bag/quilt set up/clothing in a video? I'm ready to get out and start this type of adventure, but am worried I'll end up in my car too cold to enjoy myself. Thank you!

[@sarainventura]

Where?

[@russellrlf]

I think everyone could use a "little escape to the mountains" this year.

[@nbrah26]

Could you do a video about yourself? Like how/when you started camping and a little about yourself in general?

[@MaryKim]

watching you enjoy nature alone is so infectious!!! makes me want to take a solo trip through the woods :,) THANK U FOR THESE ALMOST-THERAPEUTIC and very reflective videos!

[@amanda.outside]

You are so welcome! 😁

[@abbeyawesome1012]

I live in the country side and always feel like I’m camping because I hear the sounds of nature like the birds and owls 🦉 at night when I walk my dogs before bed other then seeing three cougars and have to be more aware of surroundings i love living in the country and camping all toughter but this was an amazing vlog to enjoy and since moving to the countryside it has felt amazing going on mini hike on my five achers

[@Mindyourbusiness82]

I don't know if you have done this type of video before but could you do a video on safety measures/precautions you take when out hiking/camping/backpacking? Especially when you go alone? Thanks.

[@amanda.outside]

Great suggestion! This is something that's been requested a few times. It's on my list of videos to make!

[@ErinLynnS]

There's nothing better than being alone in nature. So peaceful. Beautiful video!

[@DLM440]

Do you ever be afraid on your own? I feel like my fear holds me back x

[@flipchick1014]

Same, what I’m afraid of are wild animals!

[@shannonmccully1703]

Don’t be afraid. Just start with a small overnight car camping trip and ease yourself into it. I am a single woman and I started out like that. Actually still car camping and sleeping in my car (only because I enjoy the ease of not having to set up a tent) but when I started out I would make sure I picked spots by families and have worked my way up to not having to be by people.

[@kymcrowart7876]

Do NOT be afraid...every one and every thing is just as if not more than afraid of you then you are of them.....

[@flowergirl4901]

She has her boyfriend with her. I think it is very smart to not go alone

Going through the comments so far and it’s refreshing that everyone is super supportive of you and the content you create!! Encouragement is what you offer me (and it seems like many others) in the pursuit of spending time connecting with nature. This past weekend I went on my first solo camping trip (ended up being talked out of solo backpacking, for which I’m grateful for because it was for the best) but you were part of the inspiration for that. It took me entirely too long in life to convince myself to go camping specifically on my own but I did it and there’s no turning back now, it’s something I’m determined to incorporate more regularly into my lifestyle. Thanks for the inspiration for that :) On that note, I wanted to see if you would be willing to either link a video if you’ve done one on this subject or to make a video on what precautions you’ve taken that has helped you feel confident, safe and secure camping/backpacking alone. I recently had a very passionate discussion relating to a difference of opinions on whether the aspiration to plan/do a solo backpacking/hiking trip was a wise decision and one of the reasons involved not enough experience/training. The person who gave me this pep talk is very knowledgeable in emergency medicine, herbalism, survival training, self-defense, etc and I know that it came out of a place of love, it was with the best intentions that they challenged my aspiration but it got me wondering if people like you and others I follow on KZbin, other thru-hikers or enthusiasts, have any special “training” to help them while out in the wilderness other than just personal experience... Just wondering. Thank you in advance for any response to my inquiry. Wish you well!

[@DLM440]

I’d be interested in seeing that too.

[@silby77]

Such a beautiful video! When I was younger, the summer was always my favorite. In my adult life, I have fallen in love with autumn. It just seems so crisp, refreshing, and a time to pause for renewal. Also, the leaves on the trees changing color is breathtaking here...I live in Kentucky and the woods and foliage this time of year are so colorful. I went on a couple solo camping trips when I was in my 20s with my black Lab named Halo (he was the BEST camping buddy and kept me nice and cozy on chilly nights) There is no better time for clarity and self reflection than solo camping in the fall. Keep up the amazing work and videography. I am in the process of reinvesting in camping gear for my family so we can have some epic (as my 10 year old would say) family camping trips in 2021. Until then, I am thoroughly enjoying your videos to get myself hyped up! Also...you remind me so much of my younger sister Aimee (which is a HUGE compliment!!) Peace, love, and happy camping from the Bluegrass State!! 🏕️

[@amanda.outside]

One day I hope to have a dog to go camping with me! Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it so much. Glad to hear you're already gearing up for 2021 camping trips!!

[@aadams4524]

I'm 53 and tired of not going camping.my 4 kids are almost all grown. I told my youngest son (18) that I need him to dig the family tent out of storage cause I'm going camping by myself LOL. So here I am watching KZbin videos and I'm going to be preparing for Fall camping

[@troyrogers3475]

Thank you so much for what you do. I just subscribed. I have watched several of your videos, I want to say that your channel is so refreshing, honest, innocent. Again thank you. I wish I could do what u do.

Love this......as I’m in AZ, NM and CO.....this week

[@christinebrigham4732]

Where did you hike? Looks like Colorado

[@TheCatalinaLondono]

Hello Amanda, thank you for sharing your trip with us. You have really inspired me to spend more time outside, the mountains have become my favorite place to be, they are where i find peace, so thank you for making that happen.

[@amanda.outside]

You're welcome! This makes me so happy to hear. I find so much peace in nature too!

[@esmebrumer6510]

Love this so so much. I've been wanting to take a solo camping trip (I usually go with friends or my boyfriend) and now I'm so motivated to after watching this. Thank you for the genuine, relaxing outdoorsy videos!!

[@peterpiper487]

Yes... you ABSOLUTELY must have coffee, especially in the mornings. I drink my coffee black, but I use decaf (via the Swiss Water Process) beans and grind them myself. I never get the jitters and the taste is exactly like caffeinated. Such a nice aroma in the mornings!

[@Robert-no9jk]

You seem like you have zero stress. I camp a lot alone but I never feel completely relaxed.

[@sandraevans3938]

you really did a nice job making this video. It was so relaxing.

[@bonfirenation6913]

Hi this is Micky with Bonfire Nation. I have recently had the opportunity to get involved with Roku television. I love your video presentation, and was wondering if you may be interested in posting some material on the Roku channel. It might be worth the conversation. If you are interested let me know by looking up my KZbin channel.

[@erict5878]

Next fall try heading to Mammoth area, especially near Silver Lake or June Lake loop. FANTASTIC views! Thanks for all you send out to us! I love stone ballencing..Many around Mono Hot springs

[@aimeedomal6455]

I'm going on my first solo (with my dog) drive from PA to NM. I'm camping in the Roswell area the first couple days then heading north to Santa Fe and Taos. I have a Jeep Renegade with a RTT. I'm a bit nervous but super excited. So grateful for your channel. Thank you for sharing all these great tips and vlogs!💗🙏🏕🐾

[@vanishaaguilar5912]

You are my hero. Your brave, knowledgeable, curious, and independent. You give me courage to try something I have always dreamed of doing. (A solo camping trip.)

[@peterpiper487]

I completely understand the need for alone time. Fortunately, I'm alone MOST of the time and I wouldn't have it any other way. It makes me supremely happy.

[@motleyhobby7913]

Nebo loop! Awesome. Solo camping looks so fun, but I'm not brave enough to do it...yet. Working on it. :) Your videos are awesome!

[@peterpiper487]

Be aware... depending on the location, you need to be ready for dangerous wildlife. Of course cows are not going to harm you, but bears are out stocking their tummies up on berries and other foods just before hibernation at this time of year. And depending on the location in the US, there are other wildlife dangers as well. Just keep bear spray, an air horn or firearm with you and keep it within reach so you can protect yourself. The autumn season is wonderful to view, but even more wonderful if you can fend off predators of any kind... including man.

[@awkward-stranger]

Don't they say "Never swim alone and always camp with someone"? Isn't it a saying? I would freak out too easily! "Is that a SHARK?😮

[@언제나해피-b2v]

thank you for your video..your trip and the way you enjoying camping make me feel always happy. to tell the trueth, I am begginer of camping. so I can learn how to camp. plus your english...thank you..and I am looking forward to meeting your new videos constantly.

So in the fall do you wear shorts and T-shirts all the time and what is your next layer if it’s a little chilly maybe you can link it specifically tell me about it because that is what I’m looking for????? Please
