I am so glad you trusted your gut instinct and went home and got back home safe and sound. That is always the best thing to do. Saftey should always come first.
Just found your channel. I’m a disabled widow in the US, Tennessee. Just wanted to say what an AWESOME job you did! And that listening to your gut can absolutely save your life. I live in a state where we can have protection, but I certainly don’t want to be put in a position where I have to use it. That’s where your awareness of your surroundings gives you the opportunity to get out to avoid a potentially dangerous person. Great job with the tarp, and great job handling the bug out. I’m now forwarding your info to my 12 yo grandson. We love camping, and he will definitely benefit from watching you. Take care. Best wishes!
@cathyjay2569 Thank you and greeting from Scotland! 🏴 Yes, our laws are such that we are very limited in what we can carry on our person and we have actually just had new knife legislation come in as well which limits what you are allowed to own/use at home too. I have plenty of content on my channel and I upload on a regular basis, so I hope to enjoy perusing my library of adventures! 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🏴
@@Jess_Outdoors637 I am doing so right now. Matter of fact I will probably binge watching you for a few hours! And our government has gone off the rails. I suspect it won’t be long now…we will all be totally controlled by their obscene legislation. Living in the woods may be our only viable option. You are well on your way to mastering the skills, and I am very much enjoying your camps! Thank you again!
A very enjoyable film Jess, and a good call for leaving, safety is paramount when you are out in the wild, trusting your gut instinct is always the best course. All the best, Brian.
@@NaturesSolitude thank you! The amount of support I’ve had for the decision to bail has been amazing. However I’m definitely looking forward to getting back outside for a full over nighter very soon!
Yes, u can't relax with someone creeping around. Whether you are male or female. Sensible girl . Nice camp spot! Pine cone is a good idea. I have used small stones to replace torn eyelets. But for some reason neva thought to use it as u have. Thanks.!
@@alexanderwright9064 Thank you! Better to be safe than sorry! Also you can use anything! Stones, cones, sticks and even crunched up leaves! Eyelets do have a tendency to break which is why I prefer the sewn in tabs!
How do you like the wide, flat fabric loops for tie-outs on that tarp? I've only ever used thinner ones, typically stitched on bits of paracord or something of the like. Your video popped up in my recommended feed and I always enjoy this kind of content, so I liked and subscribed. You've got a great voice for narration and I appreciate your candor. I'd have peaced out too had I seen some creeper slinking around the trees.
@@ColdHarborOP Thank you an welcome to the channel! I’ve got a good selection of over nighters so I hope you enjoy perusing my content 🙂 As for the tarp, I’m from Scotland and the winds can be ferocious here! Sometimes I need to stake out the tarp with proper carved stakes to keep it secure. The wide flat loops are the perfect size for this and they seem to offer more stability than grommets when the tarp is under a lot of strain

😁👍 Greetings from Germany!🇩🇪
Always trust what your instincts tell you
Thank you! I’ll be back to that spot for sure, but sometimes definitely wasn’t right!

@@Jess_Outdoors637 that’s good to hear 😊 and hopefully it’s very soon.
Absolutely brilliant upload thank you very much. You are such a cute lady.
You have got yourself another subscriber.
All the best.
Darn creeps! Glad you're safe. I have little dogs, who bark up a storm if creeps get close. But it's extra work to look after them too.
@@vgnwlf I have been considering getting a dog, the company would be nice but I’m not 100% sure yet!
I’m sure you made the right choice. I like that you roasted a marshmallow. I always take one, just one with me. Greetings from Idaho, USA. Stay safe.
There she is!🔥🏕️🔪

@@Jess_Outdoors637 Crunched leaves and sticks good idea. .!
Trust your gut and keep yourself safe. X
Glad you are safe, very smart to move from there.
Loving the new channel logo btw 🍃
Well done for getting out of there. That sounded really dodgy and I would definitely have done the same.
It’s the first time I’ve had to bail on a trip but better to be safe than sorry!

@@Jess_Outdoors637 Thanks for the reply, that's exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for.
I do like that little pit you've got, do you know the make/model please.

It’s an Orland fire pit available on Amazon! It comes in two sizes as well 🙃
