Creepy Rest Area Encounter While Solo Car Camping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- A few weeks ago, I was on a car camping roadtrip. The destination I wanted to visit did not allow overnight camping or parking, so I had to research somewhere to sleep for the night. Friends, I’m going to share a rest area experience I had recently which forced me to make a major change in where I use the restroom AND where I allow myself to car camp overnight. Watch to see what went down!! Stay safe out there folks! Oh, I also give a quick update at the end of the video! #creepy #solocarcamping #restarea

Gut instincts don't lie. Glad you left and stayed safe!
You are so right!!! Thank you! ❤️❤️
I think you were 100% correct to leave! Like you said he didn't ask the other people in the other cars already parked there. Your gut was spot on and don't beat yourself up for being a nice person. You didn't roll the window all the way down and you didn't look away from him. You got out of there which was the right thing to do. I would have drove all night also!
Thank you for your feedback! The more of these comments I get, the more I am rest assured I did the right thing!
WOW JUST WOW you are def NOT overreacting. You were right about the rest areas. I always have my bucket toilet\trash can\gray water. Glad you followed your instinct
Right?!?! LOL. I couldn't believe it! I'm going your route now, brining back my collapsible toilet because I usually stop at rest areas to use the bathroom before I go to my overnight spot (if I'm road tripping).. No more, done with that! In "house" toilet it is!!
Plus if you have to make noise when you take a dump no one hears you but you@@DeezRoads
Bahahahaha!!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
We all have the ability to sense energy. You felt that uncomfortable energy. You did what was necessary for your safety. I would have reacted the same way.
I completely agree with you about the ability to sense energy. Thankful we have that ability, next time I just need to be quicker and keep it moving from the first sign of creep! 🙂
True that!!
You made a good decision. Anyone asking a single woman for money or a ride at a rest stop at midnight is up to no good.
Thank you! That’s what I thought, too!
I’m glad you’re safe always follow your gut, rest stops are becoming unsafe
Indeed. Seems like rest stops are becoming sketchier and sketchier. Well, from the ones I've seen anyway.
So I firmly believe that God gives us those "gut instinks" as a way of warning us. Regardless of wether something would have happened or not, your intuition was instructing you to leave. ALWAYS LISTEN TO THAT SMALL STILL VOICE, it will never lead you wrong. I proud of you for paying attention and so glad you are safe.
You are absolutely right! Spot on! Thank you so much for being here!
You made the right choice.
I appreciate you!
Yeah, you are spot on. It’s a weird request, because if he has a truck, if he got a “ride”, what is he going to do with his “truck?” I think it had more to do with human trafficking. Just my take…
Wow... you know, I guess at my age I didn't even think about human trafficking. You raise a great yet scary point. I didn't even think about what he was going to do with his truck! Thanks for your feedback!
The story someone gives you doesn't matter, it's most likely a lie anyway. Pay attention to your instincts instead, never ignore them.
You’re right about that!
I'm glad you're safe.
You and me both! I hope you're having an amazing summer.. Miss you much!!
The fact is that addiction is a choice, not an illness or disease. If you choose to never drink or never try drugs then you will never become addicted. Today's society coddle addicts too much and make a million and one excuses for their behavior and bad life choices.
I disagree for many reasons, one babies being born addicted and another folks being forced into sex trafficking which often results in them being drugged, all against their will.
@@DeezRoads and neither of those are caused by an illness or disease.
Some people say they've never had any problems at rest areas, but in travels, just seeing panhandlers in rest areas, we've driven away. There. was a scary occurrence in one at night years ago that caused me to never want to sleep in one. Someone tried to break in when my husband pulled in to use the restroom while the kids and I were asleep in the van; doors were locked, fortunately. I use them now in daytime, but I sit and observe first before going into the bathroom. There's no reason to feel any guilt for appearing judgmental. Judgment is essential for safety and I would be very judgmental of any man (or woman) approaching my car at night. I would have backed out the moment I saw him walking toward my car, as was your first instinct. I don't trust anyone at midnight! :) Glad you hightailed it out of there safely.
That was the first time I've had an experience like that at a rest area and it's all I need to say NO MORE! OMGosh.... I am so thankful your doors were locked and they weren't able to get into your vehicle. I can't imagine how frightening that must have been...especially with the kids in the car...oh no!! I'm going to take your advice if I ever use a rest area again for their bathrooms - sit and observe first! that's great advice!
@@DeezRoads You said there were several other cars parked there. It's likely that the guy had already approached them for a handout, with or without success, and they stayed and went to sleep. Any attempts to harm you, causing you to scream, would have alerted others which he wouldn't want. Still, it's scary, and it's best to get away from a sketchy situation.
That’s a great point!! ❤️
When it comes to personal safety it would be foolish not to “judge” - they will never know.
That’s a great way to put it!
You did the right thing.Smart to leave .
Thank you for that feedback!
What kind of rest areas do you go to that have Windows? All of the rest areas here in the Pacific Northwest are just cement buildings that have the bathrooms in them, no windows whatsoever
A lot of them along I95 have windows. This one happened to be in NC.
ya at a state campground a guy kept walking by to the bathroom and would stare at my campsite. I was at the squeaky well and there he was...no one around. I left. What guy uses the bathroom to pee anyway and Each time I did. His tent was facing my site with an empty one in between....maybe he want to just meet but not me. I left.
That is so creepy!! Glad you got out of there! Sounds like he was plotting...not cool!
Don't judge..... come on smart people notice clues and don't get themselves in those predicaments
I disagree. Crime is prevalent in our society. Even “smart” people can be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
🎉
😮
If you don't have one already maybe you should look into the female pee container. You can use that for emergencies or if you think the area is kind of suspect I know it's gross but at least you'll be safe and you won't be vulnerable or taking a chance.#2 you should look into getting a pocket knife to where it has like the money clip on it or you can clip it on to the top of your pants or edge of pocket and you can have something with you at all times.#3 if you have to go to a rest stop again get out the car and act like you're speaking to someone or wait until someone or telling someone to come with you with a hand motion. Maybe putting some car stickers with guns on your vehicle will be good.i keep several weapons in my car as well as my home 2 weapons in each rm guns ,kmives,dagger. Machete $14 at Walmart lol , Crocodile Dundee knives. Mace bless the knife that I carry on me at all times. If I'm wearing a dress I clip it to my neckline❤😊?😊😮😮😢😮😢😮😢
I love your suggestions! Especially acting like you’re talking to someone! I reuse coffee containers as pee containers. Lol. Now I’m going back to my collapsible toilet too. 🙂
Drama Queen
Bend the knee! Lol
Gee get to the point and stop repeating everything.
Glad your safe tho.
LOL... As I was editing the video, I noticed I kept repeating as well. Definitely something I need to work on...lol. Thank you!
👍 Ive watched other people on YT who have had scary encounters too at those rest stops.
I don’t stop there anymore unless it’s daytime but always on guard.
It’s good that you left but I don’t see what is creepy. You’re just paranoid and assuming things.
Thank you for that feedback.
