Safety precautions I took on my first solo camping trip #carcamping #shorts #solofemaletraveler
“How do you stay safe?!”
Staying safe on my first solo camping trip was my top priority. 👏🏼
In addition to staying at a campsite that I was familiar with and bringing several forms of protection, I am confident in using my voice and body to protect myself. 😤
Sure, camping alone was kinda scary but I did everything I could to prepare for what I was scared of and I ended up having a great time. I don’t want to let my fears hold me back from doing things I love and I shouldn’t have to wait for someone else to be free so I can go on an adventure!
Here’s what I brought to stay safe:
🐻 Bear spray
🚨 @shes_birdie personal alarm
🔪 Pocket knife
😤 Whistle
🔒 Carabiners to use as “locks” for my tent
🪑 An extra chair to make it look like I wasn’t alone
🚘 I parked the car facing the road so I wouldn’t have to back out if I needed to make a quick escape.
And the most important thing I did on my solo camping trip was 👏🏼trust my gut👏🏼
You watch to much tv🤮
camping is getting away from the hassle of working life all week have the weekend to decompress
I’m glad you’re taking precautions. Because nowadays, things are really scary.. I would still not recommend going camping alone.
I’ve been backpacking and camping in the back country for 30 years. Never needed to carry bear spray, whistles, or take weird safety measures for a fast escape. I do carry a tactical knife and a hacket, but more so to cut food down and break down fallen wood. Taking all those precautions makes this sound like terrible trip
A firearm equalizes a 100lb female and a 250lb male
Isn’t it sad you can’t just go camping and not have to worry about these things? Happy camping!
An sos
just get a gun bozo
Good girl 👏, enjoy yourself, great tips too.
… camping in the states
Good for you girl.
Get a dog and gun. Maybe get the dog a gun as well. Heck, get the gun a gun.
Instead of all that nonsense, all you need is a gun and a dog.
Just bring a gun 😂😂
did all that shit and forgot a gun
🔫
Oh my god your car camping literally not even dangerous, if youre a grown woman and so feaked out by the saftey of your car 3ft away buy a revolver or sum.
Get a gun lmao
Women will bring everything to defend themselves except a gun smh
Also carry concealed would be a good idea
Where’s your machete or gun girl. Crazy ass humans exist. Plus why did you show this for others to see.
Or you could just get a gun
Young liberals will do everything to protect themselves except arm themselves and put criminals in jail 😂😂
Nice.
Great advices!😊
Guns are pretty solid self defense
All this shit just to not have a man in your life. Feminism has ruined you.
Why no gun
Bring the heat.
Attagirl, don’t let the feminists scare you into believing there is a rapist under every rock.
When I camp alone I just do the shit as always let someone know where I am and bring a gun problem solved 😂
Being from a country where you don’t get to defend yourself when your life is at risk, it always amaze me how some people in the US are so anti-gun that they would do all of that shit in order to not carry.
buy a gun
I told my sister when she went camping alone to take an extra chair and pour water into 2 solo cups and move them around the table thru out the day to show extra peoples movements
What’s with all the talk of guns?
Such an odd suggestion, Americans perhaps?🤔
That’s not how we think up here. Certainly not any camping gear I’ve ever heard of.
I hope you enjoyed the trip.
Where’s yer gun?
Ditch the car….. go back country. 👍
A high lumen flashlight is your best friend while camping. Most bad things are gonna happen at night, so having a blinding flashlight with a strobe mode can completely blind an attacker in the pitch black of night. SWAT teams use bright lights and flash bangs to great effect and so should you. Combining bear mace with a blinding light would work fantastic. Have a knife you can open with a flick of a finger with 1 hand. If something bites or restrains an arm being able to attack with another can save your life. A spring assisted knife is usually best because it’s the easiest and fastest to open in a high adrenaline situation. Keep your car fob on you and use your panic button to draw attention if you need help.
Buy a gun
Great tips but on some real that multitool wont deploy quickly if you needed it. Get a dedicated knife like a cheap fixed blade with a full tang or a folding knife from a reputable brand with a good steel D2 tool steel is a good place to start.
You missed the important one, stay strapped.
tip- put the carabiner on the inside of your tent, that way if someone actually did try to steal your stuff, at least you’d be inside safe. but, that does not stop them from cutting into your tent. newsflash, everyone brings a knife when they camp. most likely you will run into someone with a blade. be careful out there.
Excellent points! You did well! I endorse this video.
U know u should let fear hold u back
U should get your self a dog
Shoulda bought a pistol and it woulda been way better
Ummmm why don’t you carry. Seriously that knife will do what ?!
It’s camping. Don’t hesitate to get a larger knife. They can be very useful as tools, but something about holding a sturdy knife helps chase away fear. (Also, firearm if you’re American and feel you need it cuz the areas sketchy) not to mention that in general solo camping is relatively safe so long as you know what you’re doing as far as camping in general.
JUST BRING A GUN
