    You were absolutely right to listen to your instincts. Please, do not go back to camp there again! I'm a firm believer in instinct. Just May 6th, I survived a near death experience. I live in a senior apartment complex that is gorgeous. I just moved in last October. Brand new buildings. I bought all new furnishings, and it was going to be my forever peaceful place. It is set back into the woods and is quite lovely really. A man and woman came around several times asking about how to get in as tenants. Immediately I had just a terrible sick feeling. And every time after that they came around. I began to purposely avoid them. They managed to get into an apartment this last January. On May 6th of this year, they drove through my apartment and almost out the other end, while I was standing in the kitchen. They drove a full-size pick-up truck. I am still healing and seeing several doctors for different injuries. I lost everything and have had to start all over again. So, please Griz, don't go back there. Take your warning seriously. I never dreamed this would happen to me. I just thought he was a creeper.

    I’m 72. Done a great deal of camping in my life. Mostly in the mountains where you had to worry about the wild animals that walked on 4 legs not 2. I have always listened to my inner voice or as you say, gut instinct, that’s how I’ve made it to 72. I know it was a beautiful spot to camp in but you don’t want it to be the beautiful spot you died in. Find another spot off the beaten trail and turn it into your outdoor sanctuary.

    Ok, so I started out on RUclips looking for camping videos. I actually was looking for gear, lol, (and kudos to you for principals on selling/reviewing stuff.) The algo lead me to your channel and now I’m binge watching all your stuff.
    This video was brilliant. You handled that guy like a pro, - didn’t show a ton of fear, shared what you had, talked to the kid and then, most importantly, left when your instincts told you something was wrong. This really could be a case study for how to handle unwelcome strangers. I’m glad you shared the experience, - and I’m glad you’re safe.

It also doesn’t hurt to have funding to pay for higher quality equipment as well.

    Also, really glad you followed your guts concerning this guy. Who knows if he told you the truth about his life, and who knows what he was up to. Sad we have to worry about such things instead of beeing able to trust people, but there are too many people which are up to no good out there. Maybe he really had no bad intentions, but it´s better safe then sorry. We don´t have our instincts for nothing. And the fact that your camera is gone makes it even more eerie. I wouldn´t go back to that spot or area to camp there, especially not alone.

    I've done a lot of camping in urban areas in the past. And forests nearby, but also a little further. You wouldn't believe how many people move through the woods at night. Especially homeless people and junkies, the worst thing is when they take your camping spot. It's really no joke. Since then, I tend to go to more remote places or to the mountains. And at least it's a good idea to always carry a knife.

      I dont think stealth camping is inherently risky. I've been doing it for years and never encountered anyone coming up to me. You almost never see or hear anyone else in the woods after dark. You are in far more danger walking the streets at night, or getting on a bus or train at night, or driving on the roads at any time.
      This incident here is an anomaly, or at the very least unusual. Unless you go to a spot that is well known and visited by others. I personally never camp anywhere that other people have used. It would put me off right away.

    I had a similar situation happen to me on the App.Trail, and a couple of guys came into my camp asking a bunch of questions with no gear whatsoever. They didn't have any weapons that I could see, which was good for my piece of mind. They just gave off this creepy vibe from the get-go. I had brought enough food for me and my dog, so I didn't have any to feed anyone else. I've got a German shepherd, and they just kept going on and on about him. He's trained to obey my commands, so if they had made any negative movements, he would have eaten them alive. They wouldn't take any hints that I was ready for them to leave. I went in my tent and put my holstered 45 on, and they left not long after that, and we didn't see anymore of them.

      Some A-hole snuck up on him very much on a purpose - No normal outdoors man would ever do that .
      You stay a good distance from camp and yell : hello in camp - then ask for permission to enter a
      Man’s camp ! Poor respect could lead to getting shot dead . ? Eh ?

    Greetings from Florida, America! Every time I didn't listen to my gut, I ended up regretting it. Good call on pulling up your stakes and getting out. That sort of thing is why I'm armed when I go camping. I don't worry so much about the 4 legged critters - I had a bear wander through my campsite once and didn't do more than sniff around and smell bad. It's the two legged beasties that I worry about. It's a shame to feel like I have to consider that angle, but the number of back country encounters is on the rise and I'd rather not become a statistic.
    The more I think about it, the more disturbing your encounter was. He shared your food and ate at your table while planning your harm. Smart move getting out when you did. Avoidance is always best. You've got nothing to prove and everything to lose. I just subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!

  • @moparmarkstpac

    You're really affable, and I love that you won't sell out...nothing wrong with making some funds to support your channel, but you're not pushing items you wouldn't use yourself.
    I live in the mountains of East Tennessee (yeah, American...hope u don't hold that against me too much) and it was great to see you respect the wilderness the way you do.
    Do be safe out there on your own, it's definitely sad but the world has become crazy, and we never really know what the other guy is gonna do...especially the lone junkie living in the rough.
    Take care, mate...happy camping to you...🙂🤟🏕.

    I think Fendi is a God send, I noticed how she was sticking close to you and all, like she could sense it (just like the night with the women noises at your camp). I believe that guy was planning on attacking you, and was doing exactly what you think he was. Either he was going to come back himself or he was going to bring others.
    I agree with the others, to not go back to that location. I’m so glad you guys are okay, and I think it’s great you listened to your gut. 🙌💯.
    Please stay safe! This is why I have my firearm, bc you never know what others will do.

    Hey Gaz, your gut definitely steered you in the right direction, as for camping there again, I'd leave it for a year and then only camp there with some mates. It seems to be a spot for people with poor intentions, they seem to know when you're there, makes me wonder if those kids in the pop-up tent had an encounter.

I’m so sorry you had that scary experience and glad you trusted your gut. Such a shame to have lost your trail cam but glad that’s all you lost. Fendi is adorable and my frenchie does that same crawling along the ground thing, so funny. But frenchies are highly nickable dogs and probably worth more than your trail cam so keep her close.

    Definitely the best thing to do. As you say, if his mates are willing to attack him they'd have no issue with doing it to you and robbing you. The proof they took the night camera shows your instincts were correct but even if they hadn't been, as soon as you have any doubts about staying in a place, then leave. Better safe than sorry. Maybe don't camp there for a while, or even do a proper stealth camp with a couple of mates and freak the junkies out with weird noises and stuff 😅

    Then on our way out the forest we saw a camp spot which was overlooking ours. Freshly put out camp fire which wasn’t there before. I had an uneasy feeling throughout those days and when i saw that i got the chills.

    Hi Gaz from a new subscriber and fellow RUclipsr from Gold Coast Australia!! I just came across this video in my YT feed and have given it a watch - really very enjoyable but suspenseful AF!! I'm so sorry that your camp site has been violated and your lost another trail cam but you certainly did the right thing by listening to your instincts and getting out of there. What a freaky experience. There sure are some shitty humans on this earth. I see this video is a month old - I'll definitely keep watching to see if you've found a safer campsite since this was filmed.
    I share your feelings about supporting other channels. I've been thinking of doing shout outs in my community posts to help support other channels, and I've been putting other channels up on my main page to show who I'm proud to support. I'm still only small - a few weeks away from my 1 year anniversary on YT but I am more than happy to support how I can -and will do more as I continue to grow. it's a hard game and you're right when you say we're in this together. I don't talk in my videos but I do make community posts and can list other channels on my page so that is how I'm going to go about it.
    I just went on over to the camping couple you suggested and subbed to show my support. They look like they have some really interesting stuff. I used to love camping - it was my happy place, but I have several chronic health conditions & my body just won't let me camp anymore, but I do enjoy watching camping videos to remind me of the feeling - so I'm happy to have found you here.
    So far I haven't been offered any promotional stuff - I'd love to be offered accommodation (because I can't camp)in other locations so I can make videos to promote the hotel or whatever it is, and make my 4K walking videos during my time in those locations. I have big dreams for my channel - I've been at it full-time since day 1. I just have to be patient and keep at it. I want it to pay off too - I need it to.
    I'll see you for another of your adventures- looks like you have some really odd & scary things happen while you're out minding your own business.
    Best wishes Gaz from Gold Coast AUS
