    I feel you man. Being alone allows one to grow so much. No distractions but your own thoughts!

    Lol! I love how the sheep all stopped and stared at you! 😁 As for being alone at night, I always say, "It's not a fear of the dark, but of what is in the dark." (Or what could be.)

    I’ve camped in a tent alone, and it definitely makes one feel vulnerable, especially if animals are about. At the same time though, the darkness and quiet is amazing. Good for you in facing the discomfort

    Firstly you are not alone, Albania loves you more than you know,Secondly nothing wrong being alone at times, it's called reflex, you need that,you need that space too,trust me there are milions out there that like being alone at times, if not more, once again there is nothing wrong of being alone,keep that in mind,
    All that said believe it or not this vlog is maybe one of the best of yours, it's different and shows more of your good character and personality, and btw pictures you took look great,maybe with a better weather would be nice too, you know, all the best pal.

    Bro I know you’ve probably never intended this but you have the most real videos on RUclips. Fire content, fire editing, fire personality. Lit indeed lol I dig it so much!
    Yeah, that alone part is certainly great for getting to know yourself and learn, create, escape… life skills. Hopefully one day we meet a prefect female match and all new realms can be achieved, maybe or not. Anyway, keep it all up, you’re great. Live, learn, grow my friend. You are an artist.

    Haha James the moment of that flock of sheep stop and looking at you, priceless! You should really make up something with that haha! Yes, sometimes it's good to be alone and camp alone as well. But, I've seen you mingling with the locals in your earlier videos. Hope you still do. Pogradec may be a small town but there is a lot of culture there and you will be surprised how much they know about America. When I used to spend summers there during my childhood, our talk was Hollywood movies, actors, Elvis, soccer, Nba basketball, boxing, Mohamed Ali etc, etc despite the censorship from the system.

    As a person that has a lot of experience (me) on "bushcraft" and winter camping... I totally approve the firestarter and the lighter 😁😁🤣🤣... One of your camera it makes a funny noise when it tries to focus... Fear of the dark? Great song if you want my opinion 🤣🤣.... For me it's not fear when I do lonely camping...it's the miss companion of the moment...that's why when you seat near the fire you feel safe and more "filled"... Oh... You did well bringing wood with you my friend...after all wood and cigarettes are the only 'friends' that will be "burned" for YOU 😂😂.... Nice job buddy👍😁

    You look such a nice guy, i bet you have been through a lot. Also you seem to have a character similar to mine.I would suggest you to not stick with being alone tho, start taking some albanian classes, knowing a little bit of our language will help you interact with the locals whenever your travel, you will see that we are very likeable and chatty people. Keep making more cool videos. God bless!

    Always say a prayer of protection over you when you are camping and when you're going to sleep. Personally I would not camp alone but that's me. Have you ever watched David Paulites Missing 411 series on RUclips Can-Am missing? You should always have a personal locator beacon and a Glock with you to be completely safe out in the wilderness alone. That is the only way you should be alone in the wilderness. There are creatures out there believe it or not of the cryptid type. I've experienced one camping. Most times they won't bother you and when you have those items with you you are probably a thousand times safer. God bless. PS I just subscribed to your channel too enjoyed your content a lot.

    James just like the other videos this one was superb aswell, I have a question tho, what type of music do you listen when u go on these trips (alone or with friends, near or far) because for me a big part of car trips is the music I listen to while driving, and I hope u got some albanian bangers on your playlist too !

      @JamesLeithart  2 года назад

    Is it hard for you to breathe the thin mountain air? I'm guessing that you are German or Dutch, by your name. Albanians are adapted for it.

    Yes, I think you are afraid of the dark. There's _very_ few worse things that are likely to happen to you in the dark than there is in broad daylight.
    It's a primal memory in all of us from the time we were defenceless hunter-gatherers in a time of nocturnal apex predators; but there are few of those now, and ironically, it's other humans who are more likely to be that threat.
