Solo Car Camping with Rain, I got Scared | Van Life

[@angeliaphillips]

A tip for your cooler, instead of loose ice, a small jug of solid ice will last for days and won't get your supplies wet. 👍😊

[@Sas_HeatherC]

Thanks!! 😃 😊

[@mikecaprino2503]

I freeze 2L pop bottles..ice and eventually water!

[@josephine7571]

I’m new to the channel so I’m not sure if you’re talked about this, 12 volt fridge/ freezers are great. No more ice or soggy food.

[@TolbersCamping]

Great idea, thankfully I have a small portable fridge now so no more melted ice 😀

[@CaMaRoSSGiRL14]

Yea my gma used to do it for fishing, we would freeze a few 2 liters full of water, had a drink as it melted and kept the fish good.

[@cassandrahemby653]

I'm a woman who hikes and camps alone frequently. I never was afraid until I started watching you tube videos about missing hikers and people experiencing scary nights camping. I am going to learn to shoot, take a safety course and buy a firearm. We live in frightening times and it's best to be as safe as possible.Thank you.

[@SometimesTurtle]

I can relate, solo male here, you are right, get a glock 20, for black bear, and above, even though, it won't help against the skinwalkers and bigfoot, but that's what Jesus is for, other than that, just respect nature, and living creatures, and you will be alright, minus the potential for crazy humans, both satanic side and just plain insane side...haha...anyways, I plan on using a van for some level of security, but in the end, relying on Jesus and Father in Heaven, much respect to you for being a strong soul as well, not many women these days care about anything but silly worldy things.

[@kathym6603]

Sounds like a good realization! The unpredictability is unpredictable!

[@rouman7]

Into days society imo it has become dangerous , to camp out ..to many nutty people out there ..especially women on there own .. it’s not the wild animails but are own human beings that are more dangerous .. here in the uk we’re not allowed to have firearms , so in USA you can do that. .. if I do it I use camping sites ..

[@coxmosia1]

If it gets quiet all of a sudden in the woods...run, hide, get your protection out. Usually means that there's a predator around and usually a very large one.

[@marshacowan1252]

My son went camping in Canada and had wolves come up just outside the light of his campfire. He could see their eyes. They just sat and watched him a while, then slid off onto the darkness, but he spent the rest of the night in his car!

[@SometimesTurtle]

Yup, I live in Oregon and do all day long trips fishing, but I would never sleep out there with a tent, even just for the sake of black bears, and people think they aren't a threat, let me tell ya. do some research, they are not a threat for your typical hiker who wants to be around other humans, but for those of us who seek out true nature, and that means going where others don't, the threat of an attack is very real, you are basically asking for it. So, yeah, I do not plan on overnighting until I get a van, which should be this year hopefully, and then you guys will have some fun deep woods content coming your way =)

[@shimereemoon]

I wouldn't take the risk with less than a 300 bear gun rifle

[@bigguy1403]

Eventually you'll meet up with a bear if your in the back woods. I Never go camping without my 45 Ruger 6 shooter with bear shot on my side. I sleep better I eat better and I enjoy the day better knowing Betsy is on my side. I've come across black bears twice and I wasn't a bit nervous and those bears knew that they didn't smell fear and they left. If I didn't have it I'd a shit myself. I was just out walking the trail and each time they came out of nowhere and I had a cougar come behind me once on the trail. When you take out that Canon and you tell the bear to leave or he's gona be your new rug they know and the walk away. I had to fire a warning shot on the cougar she just kept coming closer and closer kicking up dirt with her front paws. I fired like 3 feet in front of her and I'm sure some dirt came up and hit her in the face and she took off

[@SometimesTurtle]

@@bigguy1403 Smart man, don't let snowflakes take your gun away in the future! The criminals will still get them regardless and all it will do it weaken our nation setting us up for a china take over haha (sort of un-related I know, but people forget that some people actually need guns for this type of thing, or we will be eaten out there!)

[@susiepittman601]

​@@SometimesTurtleyou are right. I did some research too and found many examples of black bear attacks. Not worth the risk.

[@BSOG3]

FINALLY!!! A solo camper who actually brandishes a weapon! It's disturbing to see the many who make the "the strange knock at night" or "I hear animals" yet they only have a butter knife and bug spray to protect themselves. I REALLY appreciate seeing the side arm. It's a common sense approach to this lifestyle.

[@ajsantana8780]

So your in your van where your safe. but you gonna leave that safe fortress so you can go one on one with a bear? lmfao

First time watching your videos. I watched the whole thing. I did enjoy it. Calming and peaceful. I respect the fact there's no cussing. I'm a Cristian and I believe you are too. I'd love to camp. I'm 69 and use a walker because of my bad knees.My husband is 74. We just set everyday and do what's necessary in a day. Very boring life but I dream of camping and fishing. I'd also cook on a campfire the old fashion way the way I use to. I've cooked on an open flame and made full meals lol. But now I just dream of doing it. So, I camped with you. Keep making your videos and also why don't you bring your wife sometimes??

That's what I thought. I was thinking it might be a big mink, but I was pretty sure it was a fisher (I grew up calling them fisher cats. I'm not sure how the "cat" part got started. I just know that's what my grandfather - a Minnesotan - taught me 🤷🏽‍♂️)

[@dellascott163]

Get yourself a screened tent that you can flush right up against your van so when you walk out the side door, you'll be entering right into the tent where you can cook, sit and eat outside without being surprised by any animal walking right up on you...or a person. Leave no gaps in between the van and the tent. When you're out in the open like that, anything can walk up on you from either side of the van. A screened tent will give you enough time to get back into the van quickly and safely. Some have 2 openings.

[@konfidentlykeiko1997]

I will always say I love that your preach safety. As I mentioned before there is a KZbinr who is a solo female van lifer and she loves to tell people how she sleeps with the doors unlocked, no weapons, and doesn’t take any safety measures bc she’s out in the middle of no where. She loves to bash anyone who tells her otherwise bc she claims it’s caused by “trauma”🙄. Smh.

[@TolbersCamping]

Thanks and yeah it’s hard to show size on video but much to big for a raccoon

[@VictoriasDollHangout]

I am fairly sure that mink thing was what we call a fisher in Maine. Odds are he claimed a part of your van. I like how, although it is unfamiliar, you were curious rather than frightened. Oh, and those squirrels were scolding you for being there. Wildlife is amazing. I am a new subscriber now! Thank you for a refreshing take on the outdoors.

I really enjoyed you showing the reality of camping alone in the woods. Not always glamorous sometimes can be eerie. Also very glad to see you take your safety serious!! I have never seen anything like the fisher cat since I am from the south. I am an outdoorsy woman but a firm believer in nothing good happens in the woods after sundown. Ha ha. Keep making videos

[@TolbersCamping]

Thanks so much and I agree 😂

[@jamestorgerson1837]

I am a new believer in a thing that is so scary that even sasquatch will get up and relocate. This very thing is what keeps me from camping solo and that is dogman. Kinda makes you wonder seeing all those deer running like that and that's a usual thing when those are around. Of course there's other predators out there as well but none of those things have ever made me think twice about camping solo.

[@mattyallred]

@@jamestorgerson1837 Dogman? like a werewolf, as in the native american skin walkers? Im from australia, id camp with a dogman any day before a grizzly. Plus anything thats on the supernatural side, im not really scared of at all, All i think is its evil or demonic and as long as Christ is by my side they cant hurt me. I dont believe in a human turning in to a wolf, but if its like a werewolf and huminoid id say demonic, Not scared of demons. Bears how ever, Im food

Hey dude, nice video, the loud splash was probably a sasquatch, and the ding sound you heard could have been a mini big foot,. They hide under cars , you should hang over the side before you put foot to the ground and look under the car first, the little ones grab you're leg and hold you for the big uns.

I agree, most likely Sasquatch is watching you. Whatever you do don’t point your gun at one, makes things worse, they will leave you alone if you walk away. Yes we have them here, like it or not

[@peterpiper487]

I live in Minnesota. The most dangerous big animal that you will probably encounter in your life in Northern Minnesota is the moose. Damn, those things are cantankerous! Once they start an attack, they don't back off... and they will often PICK a fight with you. Black bears usually run away but be careful that you don't get between a mamma and her cubs. You're pretty much done for once you do that. There are other dangerous animals as well, but for the most part, if you have bear spray and you are armed, you can survive. BTW, mosquitoes are a big animal in Minnesota... they are known as the State bird. LOL!! I love the North Woods of Minnesota. Peaceful and beautiful.

[@TolbersCamping]

I can’t wait to see a moose in the wild. Plan to head up that way fairly soon. I know they can be very dangerous and want to stay a safe distance away but will be prepared.

[@carl8229]

The game camera is a very very smart idea, if you don't want to be bothered by certain things in the woods. They see the light from the IR emitter and will not approach. And you most definetly don't want these things to approach. You wouldn't ever camp alone after that, I guarantee it.

[@jacobravenwood7968]

Love your camping videos Man but I can say with all honesty as well as two experiences growing up with my parents. While camping it's probably a good thing that you have the bear spray and a pistol and a minivan to separate you from them. Because if you're actually that worried about bears you should probably know that bears have a sense of smell 2100 times that of a human. So even though you disposed of the burger remains in that Campground trash bears are highly attracted to sweet and sugary things such as pastries and cookies like you had in your minivan. Having a close-up encounter with a overly eager black bear trying to pack on as many calories as it can before it's hibernation cycle begins. Is a once in a lifetime experience you really don't want. Lol 😳

It was an interesting trip. It was nice to see you enjoy the outdoors, the animals and some tasty dinners, that is solid simple comfort right there. With technology we can forget about real life and at times get immersed in it. A good book will always do too. You kept setup simple yet adequate that is how it should be 5 to 10 minute takedown. Was good to see you brought protection along as much as we want to see the best in everyone we have to be smart and prepared for anything. I have seen female campers alone sometimes being approached and I feel fearful for them. Nothing wrong with being ready

[@TolbersCamping]

[@watcherofstorms]

@@TolbersCamping Excalty, looking for the good in people is not ways a great attitude to have on solo journeys for anyone... I have seen some very strange encounters for some solo campers, my fear level was on alert for them. I am adventurous but being cautious is not paranoia just good sense, as well as being prepared for anything that comes your way. I spent almost two full months in the woods on 125+ acres this summer in an RV area...as summer wanned so did the folks on site sometimes I could look both ways where I was parked and see no cars, I still enjoyed the countryside but with a bit more caution when it thinned out

Cougars: Cougars are rarely seen in Minnesota, but occasionally do appear. If you have such an encounter, keep eye contact with the cougar. Cougars only attack from the rear. They are easily intimidate and eye contact plus shouts will usually make then leave the area. Cougars are cats and may just sit and watch for a while...still, keep eye contact. Do not turn your back or stoop down. (You never make eye contact with a bear). Happy camping. God loves you, so do we.

Also you may want to get one of those small coolers that you plug into a car plug you dont need ice and they work well if you get one about the size of your cooler the price isnt to bad its definitely work having. Walmart sells the small ones at a responsible price they use very little battery power can be run on solar too and its can run small battery supply so you have different options to use but easiest is just plug into a car plug if you worry about your car battery just crank the van up for a few minutes before bedtime to get a good charge. They are made to use in the car so it doesnt pull much power at all....
