You Have To Be Ready To Protect Yourself Camping

This Is why you have to be prepared to protect yourself while camping!! I was camping in a remote spot in the Arizona desert when I noticed a suspicious man ride by on his bike. I attempted to be nice and say hello with a hand wave, but he just had a dead stare on his face and rode by my camp at an intentionally slow pace. I was overland solo truck camping on a dead end road and I was curious to why this guy was riding down towards the end of the road. I found an old abandoned gold mine at the end of the road and since I wasn't able to find the guy I assumed he was hiding inside. Was he living in the mine shaft? Was he a serial killer? Did he have a person kidnapped inside? I made sure to be aware of my surrounding but once night fell upon the desert it was too dark to see anything!! I had to sit and listen for his bike or footsteps. Warning actual footage!!
This story is true, although I never found out if he was a psychopath stalker but I dont plan on returning to this camp spot to find out!!

I just realized that bad guys can fly drones looking for lone campers, then stalk them to see if they can be overpowered and robbed, or worse. Stay safe out there, if you see a bad guy, leave, and clearly, that dude was stalking you for no good reason. And remember, at night sitting in front of a campfire, you’re visible, vulnerable, and a target but the predator is hidden in the darkness. Your little dog is so adorable, but was afraid there.

[@DesertRat5073]

Drone surveillance is not something I have considered. Now I am going to keep my eyes and ears open for that too.

[@laryvonlowenberg6485]

Because of your video we are going to add a drone to our bug out survivor pack , it would help when traveling and seeing things before they see you. Another thought is setup a perimeter with something to make noise to alert you if someone comes too close to your camp

[@joedipietro2559]

Ive actually had the same thing with creeps flying RC drone s around for around 18 months now. The bastards even wrecked my tent one time.

[@user-sk7zc1fc5u]

As soon as my tent arrives, I will go out alone in my 25-year old Subaru, where I probably won't see many people until I return home. I am 79 and a widower. People on these sites get scared. Odd. I'll be in the back country of Idaho.

[@laurachynoweth5186]

You should definitely be on guard and listen to your inner voice when you feel somethings not right. That guy was probably a tweeker who was looking for gold or whatever and felt you were intruding in his territory. I camp alone (women) and carry a gun. I put an extra chair up in my campsite too. I dont like being paranoid but in this crazy world today I won't hesitate to protect myself . Stay safe and free!

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

That is definitely a smart idea with the second chair!! I also carry but KZbin won’t let me show it or talk about it haha.

[@hermittao]

I'm a retired Park Ranger, and I always have a weapon nearby when I camp; never had a problem. I think we're programmed to be cautious of what is out beyond the campfire. That caution kept early humans alive, and it remains with us today. Ignore that inner voice of caution at your own peril. Growing up in a rural area, and working in places with few if any streetlights, I feel more at home in dark places. I live on 8ac, but I can see neighborhood lights. It is kinda comforting. 😉

[@SanBrunoBeacon]

This is the first video that I've watched at your channel. Your doggie is a cute little guy. Burgers look good. And yes, always be situationally aware, properly equipped, and ready to defend yourself, your friends, and/or family when you are out camping or RVing. Especially when you are at a remote location. Always be prepared to deal with any dangerous situation that might happen and don't trust strangers who transmit a bad vibe such as the unfriendly dude who was in the area where you were camping in this video.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Couldn’t agree with you more! Thanks so much for watching 🤙

[@edwardslizewski717]

Situational awareness is imperative these days I always look around to see where the exits are in case I have to run out of place. When I have to stop at a store, I always leave my engine running in case I have to get out fast. If something does not look right I run I lock my doors and say my prayers at night I wear a whistle around my neck during the day and look on the cars to see if someone is hiding there, in this day and age, we look out for ourselves and our friends. I would never venture into the woods alone, and I carry mace with me all the time. Good luck.

[@leodanryan966]

Always go with your gut feeling. Don't worry about what others think or say. Stay armed. Set up a perimeter alarm system.

When I camp more than getting jumped I worry about thieves. I live in northern Wisconsin, but I have camped a lot in Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota. Been robbed during the night a couple times. People will steal anything. No one ever messed with me like physically, but I have two Rottweilers with me also. It just seems there are a lot of scumbag thieves out there.

Buddy and I went to box canyon 2 years ago in Florence. Ran into about 15 SxS's about 25-30 Mexican nationals flying big Mexican flags rude as hell would not let us get around them had to scratch the crap out of my jeep going through some bushes. Had Mexican music playing really loud as we got closer I noticed lot of them had prison tattoos all over their necks, and face. I'm fairly certain they were cartel, or Mexican Mafia.

[@deborah3709]

I was so creeped out when you were outside and had the lights. He could see you and you couldn't see him (if he was there). That was scary

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Yeah, I was legitimately scared myself at that point in time! Ha ha ha the camera light is blinding so I just tried to hurry up and do what I had to do to get the café lights on! 😂 Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🙏 😊

[@edwardslizewski717]

You’re much braver than I am. I would never venture into the woods alone. I’m afraid of bears wolves and Sasquatch. I stay home at night and lock my doors and say my prayers . When I have to go out during the day, I wear a whistle around my neck and I look underneath cars to see if anyone is hiding there, please be careful make sure your protected, bear spray, a weapon of some sort. I will pray for you Larry.

[@sarah-sillz]

Love all the drone footage...what a beautiful area! That is one of the things I worry about that makes me think twice about traveling on my own...being a woman makes me very wary of people and I don't have a way to defend myself.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

That’s why you gotta get something to keep on ya for self defense. Thanks for watching Sarah 😁

[@aliceevans3357]

Sarah please take some classes on self defense, what to watch for, how to act, think and carry yourself. That in itself goes a long way in both self defense and confidence. Do your research, have some kind of defense. You may never need it but you'll feel so much safer and prepared just in case. GOD bless

[@robertgoodrich8953]

Sarah, if you live in a free state, take advantage of the 2nd Amendment rights free states enjoy. Get a Concealed Carry Permit and buy yourself a 9 mm handgun and an AR-15. Then get trained on both. Then you can go where you want and have the freedom to do what you want. Once you have weapons no one can harm you!

Firearms. Use only when actually threatened, not just because your scared and never shoot someone who's walking away from you. Just saying # I support my rights for the 2nd amendment ❤

[@pollyalamode]

At first I thought you were trying to trick us again with a fake scare but when I saw the rando dude on a bike the creepy factor was real. Hearing noises outside after dark and having a limited vision beyond your campfire was mega spooky. I vote you don't camp there again but I also vote for more drone footage, that was cool to see the area. Hopefully my vote counts lol ;)

Hahaha I definitely won’t be camping there again! 😂 and maybe I’ll sneak a bit more drone footage in. I sometimes feel like people click off the video if the drone footage is too long or doesn’t go with the storyline haha

Id be a bit unnerved over that too. I never go out without some kind of protection.

I understand how you feel about what happened. It's only natural to have the instinct to be on guard until you ascertain it's safe. However, I did have something similar happen and it turned out later once I met those people (a couple) that they had been there first and were feeling worried about me. Funny how that goes...lol. One thing I did want to say is learn to hone your gut instincts and be "friends" with your subconscious when it's trying to communicate something to you. I learned a certain level of (healthy not toxic) fear will actually help protect me by making me very aware. Don't second guess yourself when in danger.

Yeah he definitely gave me the creeps!! Thanks for checking out my channel and watching!! I really appreciate it!! 😊🤙

[@stormywindmill]

If I were you when sitting by your night time campfire I would have felt more comfortable if I had a cross-draw shoulder holster under my shirt containing at least a 9mm or 38special. I enjoyed your video and wish you good luck on your travels.

This was a fun video, it had it all! Exploring and creepy! I love the way you shot this it made it feel like I was right along for the adventure. 💙

Hey Peggy!! 👋Thanks so much for this comment!! Comments like this help me film future videos so I know more what you guys like!! 😊🤙

@@worklessenjoylifemore it really was awesome. I'm loving this channel. I plan to catch up on your past videos over the weekend. 💙

@@peggywalker4081 oh wow thanks!! Unfortunately I had a video that was supposed to come out tomorrow (Saturday) but somehow I deleted most of the footage and the remaining footage I have isn’t enough to make a video. So I guess no video this week. 😔

I know this was 11 months ago but I did want to chime in about being prepared against 2 or 4 legged creatures walking around that you have no idea who is out there, or maybe exactly where. I bought a (FLIR Scout TKx - Compact Infrared/Thermal Imaging Monocular) for around 500 bucks. This thing is like looking through a very small telescope. At night, you can set it where you can see at night as well as you can see in the day time. You can see up to around 100 yards clearly. You can also look through it, and it will pick up a heat signature. If you see the color of orange, then you know exactly where the person or animal is. I also own a truck camper and You never know who is lurking around now a days. I am a peaceful man, but not only do I have the FLIR, I also carry a .44 magnum and a Glock 20 (10mm). I am a new sub as of today, and I have been doing a little binge watching. Sorry for the long comment, but I wanted to tell you about that FLIR. It just might save your life. Take care.

Another great video, keep them coming! Wow, is the desert green right now. Soon that will all be changing!

Hey Rowan! Yeah it’s crazy how green it is!! This might end up being a really bad fire season unfortunately. Thanks for watching 🤙

How unthoughtful of me forgetting to give my love to Mason, do forgive me. A tight hug for Mason and my best wishes to you, do be careful. Kind regards

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Awww I’ll definitely give Mason a big hug for ya! He’s been feeling sorta sick the past couple days because he got all his vaccinations at once (one in each shoulder) and you can tell it hit him hard! He’s finally doing better now though so he’ll enjoy a big hug 🤗

[@NorthwestBronco]

I've had that feeling once before in the remote Oregon desert. Something told me to pack up and leave ASAP. After packing up, I was about one mile down the road when I saw a orange light in the distance. Next thing I know I was stopped in the middle of the road with the light sitting about 100 yards out my windshield. We looked at each other for about 10 seconds and it flew away. Haven't had anything happen since. Trust that gut feeling!

[@lakesuperiorgirl17]

I go camping, always go by your gut, and if your pup starts doing the low growl be on alert

[@journeybrook9357]

I bought a lite camp fan from Walmart site for less than 20. Charge with phone cord . 3 setting for lit 3 for fan and works on low for fan easy 8 hours. Can fast charge. It has a handle and a hang hook. I love it. I run it for my pets and for me at night. Orange and black in color. It is a powerful fan too. Lites okay .

[@paigecollingwood4724]

I want to do a van out. Been thinking about not being able to see beyond a point. I was thinking to use the container from a TiKi torch and put them on the ground around your area.

About 20 years ago i was on a long hike in the national forest in Michigan, i was camping at night and bird hunting during the day .. there was a small trail most the way . One morning I woke up around 5am and couldn't get back to sleep so i decided to walk down to a large pond and take some sunrise photos. Im walking down this tiny trail and just as i walk by a large tree some guy says " HEY" hes an arms length from me ( im miles from anywhere!) It scared the $$it out me , i shook like i was being electrocuted.. Never in my life has anyone or anything shook me like that. Apparently he was camping by the pond and came out to use the bathroom.. why he didn't announce himself sooner i dont know. It took years off my life im sure.

[@chandrahardy42]

Love your review man! There are so many lame reviews out there of people giving thumbs up on products and you never know if the product is actually any good or if the person is giving a good review because they want more free stuff! Love your honest review so much that I am now a new subscriber to your Channel! Oh, and I enjoyed the video to, LOL! Love camping life love van life but also aware that safety and awareness out there is Paramount!

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

The trick was that when I posted the actual review video they freaked out and made a deal for me to remove the video but they don’t know that I also included it into this camping video 😂 In case you are wondering they told me some excuse why those were broken and assured me the situation was taken care of. Who knows if they were lying or telling the truth so I refused to make a video saying I liked the product but I told them I would remove the negative review video 😂 Still hoping you consider sticking around and remaining a subscriber 😬

[@edgizinski5528]

As a former cop and a combat veteran I always operate in condition yellow but I never let others know it. I also never over analyze people. By doing so it's a dead give away. I never read into anything. My gut will tell me all I need to know. My dog tells me everything I don't know.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Yeah, I try to give people the benefit of a doubt, but like you said, sometimes your gut tells you differently, and I have learned to trust my gut over the years! Thank you so much for watching. 🙏

The tarp is to make a pond to catch water to sluice with if they're mining or for livestock to drink from when they run them through.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

I agree they probably tried to catch water to sluice but I guess I thought it was weird because there was two washes/creeks within sight of those tarps so a person would think they would try to use water from those washes instead of catching it in a place that doesn't naturally catch water. Thanks for watching Edward!

[@collinmc90]

Man I found a really creepy camp inside of an old aquaduct that used to feed the orchards. Super creepy shit man! I hate running into sketchies in the woods haha. 90% of the time people are cool and I mean I can look a little sketchy too but I always smile, wave and talk. Just make sure to always listen to that gut feeling man! The feeling is instinctual, its there for a reason!

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Thanks for sharing that!! It does sound creepy!! Yeah I always try to trust the gut!! Sometimes I second guess it because I was raised to assume the worst in people first 😂 so I still try to figure out which one is gut feelings and which one is how I was raised haha Thanks so much for watching!!

I always trust my gut. Could I ask what year is your truck camper. I have a 94 and I completely remodled it with some modern upgrades. And I love her.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Hey!! I also believe in trusting your gut. I probably should have left but I guess I was just being lazy because didnt want to pack everything up that late at night and try finding another spot to camp in the dark lol. My camper is a 1992 or 94....I can never remember lol. But yeah I love it since remodeled it haha. Do you have pics of yours posted on the FB group?

I just watched another video by a young lady, who had a man come up to her on an ATV out in Arizona, offering her water and a place to shower. He left and returned again to tell her that a man was watching her in the distance with binoculars. She filmed the whole interaction and there were a couple of seconds where he sat there staring at her. She felt uncomfortable and left the area. She said that she could hear voices off in the distance, so he most likely wasn't alone out there. You look as if you were in the same area that she was in because there were mountains in the background. This happened last year. I wonder if these guys were the same ones she encountered.

[@78gagta78]

You should get a rugged phone with FLIR thermal imaging camera, or the plug in kind and you'll be able to see if anyone or animals are around at night
