      You did the right thing getting out of there. Could be a regular thing for those weird assholes to do on weekends. Who knows what they we're planning. It's always a good idea if you can without them knowing it to get their vehicle license plate information, state registered, and plate number just in case you need it. I think they were up to no good. When you go walking away from your jeep to check out your camp site in an area like that, I recommend that you have your piece on you and ready in case you need to protect yourself.

    I have traveled alone for years. NEVER say you are alone. ALWAYS say that your significant other is meeting you, right around the corner, should be pulling in any minute, had to go for a potty break etc.; your friends should be back from their hike anytime; you need to run as your family is waiting for you down the road, etc. Also may want to remove your social info off the jeep. Seriously consider open carry when you are out alone with Little One in the middle of nowhere. Also rattlesnack season is upon us, so good to be armed so you both won't get hurt. So glad you have your sidearm!

    Solo female vanlifer here and good for you for sticking with your instincts. People have laughed when I said I’ve got “bad vibes” camping at certain places or having conversations with strangers I’ve met while on the road. I use to feel guilty relocating or not hanging out but all it takes is one bad experience to keep you on high alert. Women have never bothered me but it’s always major red flags when men approach me and start asking too many questions about my finances, trip itinerary and what weapons I carry.
    When I was in Laughlin last year a guy around his late 50s kept talking my ear off and looking at the bottom of my van too, kept asking where I kept my gun and for some reason thought I’d follow him to his land to check it out …..👀 uh no.

      It seems to me by the way you are describing it that if something had happened it wasn't planned. I would carry at all times even when you think you are alone. I was camping with my son. He was 4 and I am female. We started to go on a hike to the waterfalls. I started to get an uneasy feeling. A terrible feeling and all my alarm bells were going off. I don't remember seeing anyone. I told him that I thought we should turn around because I think the waterfall was too far. He went happily along. I know I made the right decision and it still freaks me out 17 years later.

    Listen to me...I used to teach classes dealing with these scenarios.......the text book maneuver you should've done would have been, stop & get that gas but then keep driving. You keep driving until you need to stop for gas again! "Eff" where you're going to sleep that night! Cuz there will be no sleep tonight.....ya get it?
    Security / Safety always comes first! So in this scenario, you flee from the threat...and you just keep fleeing! Nevermind stopping somewhere to re-group...it's not safe, so you drive all night. Plenty of time in the morning to "re-group", figure things out, find a new place to sleep, etc.
    Good job though packing heat! And for trusting your inner gut!

      Jeepsey did a fantastic job following her instincts and staying safe. It's good advice to flee, but you shouldn't drive in a panic or you could end up out of petrol in the middle of nowhere or so tired you make poor decisions.( especially if you are in an area that has limited phone service). Regrouping in a safe, public area seems like a smart thing to do.

      if something is transmitting, there are pretty inexpensive detectors to check for them or the police might even do an inspection for you, given the circumstances. If it's just a recorder, then they'll have to find it to retrieve it and if they lose sight of you a GPS tracker is pointless because the tracker is on you and you lost them.
      If you do find one, take it off and put it on a truck headed to alaska.

There was a Dude standing in the Arroyo 4 ft from my van. Tweaker looking guy and that startled the living #hit outta me. I startled him as well 😲 he was clearly scoping my campsite. I had a side arm and then he asked for some water in which way the highway was? Well from where I was camping you can see the highway 2 mi down in the valley so.. I watched him walk off in the opposite direction of the highway further out into the desert and I packed my stuff up and I left. This is a place that I have camped every winter for years. However, ever since that happened it has left me unsettled and not feeling very good about anywhere I park now. Stay safe Nomads, the creepers have left the cities..

    Jeepsy. Retired Forest Ranger here.. PNW. You handled yourself well. Face the danger. Avoid contact. Leave the area. Call authorities when possible. I just worked natural resources.. But. Over 30 years. Some things made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It sounds like you were alert to that. One thing I looked for. Tire tracks on dirt roads. Amount of traffic. To know if the area is used much by others. You are right. Probabbly locals.

    So glad you took off and nothing more serious occurred. I'd consider reporting the issue on iOverlander, even as Anonymous, to help others who might consider camping there or in the area. As a solo (and remote) camper, maybe reconsider and have the protection "on you" especially if anyone is approaching and you're solo. Perhaps you could also have video cameras pointing to the outside of jeep, so if you see anyone approaching, you can roll the cameras. Just some thoughts. Sorry you went through this ordeal, safe travels.

Still we women have to be careful, even though you have the best protection possible, getting out as fast as possible is always best. Knowing the things that go on in this world, the trafficking and sick predators out there, I'm so glad you're safe 🙏

    You did good. Tip: Careful with the bear spray in stressful situations like this one. If you have to use it be mindful of the wind direction, you don’t want the wind to blow the spray towards you rendering you incapacitated and defenseless. Don’t let this situation bring you down..keep on keeping on.

    • @goldfieldgary

      Remember, though, if someone is camping in a remote, deserted area, bad people can shoot their dog. No one will hear their gunfire. If it's a group like in this case, there's no way anyone can handle all of them. Never, ever put yourself in a situation where there's no cell phone service. Think about getting a satellite phone. This stop was wrong from the start. Good advice from others to take your info off of your jeep, don't upload a video when you're still there, and never engage anyone. Keep that hole puncher on your body. Not in your side console. If you're in an accident, who knows where it'll end up.

    A couple years back, I was out exploring in north Texas close to the Oklahoma border. I found a good free camp spot which was part of the LBJ Grasslands around Coffee Mill Lake. I decided to hammock camp and had my 270 degree awning deployed and had my pew pew sitting on my ice chest right next to my hammock. Perfect night, until about 11PM and two trucks and one car rolled up and all the headlights were right on me. They all just sat there for a good 5-10 minutes idling and headlights shining on me. I poked my head out of my mummy bag. It was all dirt roads to get to the spot and the car was very out of place. They finally backed up, then pulled over to another spot. Then I heard one get out and walk to another truck. He was dressed in military type garb and was speaking middle eastern. They had a CB or HAM radio and starting to have a conversation over the radio. I could hear the other person replying in same language. I slowly got dressed and went over to my drivers door to get my extra ammo. magazine and was trying to plan for my escape in case things went south. I couldn't just jump in my vehicle and go because of the awning. I had the interior lights disabled for when opening the doors, so I just hunkered down behind the door. I had 30 rounds and my back was to the lake. I was blocked in. Fortunately, after about 30 minutes and the trucks/car never shutting off their engines and lots of conversation over their radio in some middle eastern language, they all left. As soon as it was clear, I packed up and drove home. I got home at 2-3AM and was pretty shaken up.
    To this day, I wonder if they saw my handgun and were sizing up the situation. It could have been that I was in their meeting place and interrupting their plans. It was that same "feeling" and intuition you had.

    Hi - that was scary…I’m so glad acted quickly and are safe . You have a community here who loves you 😊 Another thing to mention as well, if someone asks a question such as ‘ so this is all you’ try to never disclose you are a solo traveller. You could say something along the lines of ‘ it’s my jeep and boyfriends…we’re checking out camping here. he’s walking our other dog’ … Using ‘We’ instead of ‘l.’ in unfamiliar situations which you may already do. A suggestion is to have a repertoire of lines/dialogue already created that sound natural in different situations where you are prepared so it sounds convincing . It makes you less vulnerable as it will make trouble makers think more if they know they have another male to deal with. It sucks we even have to think that way but it’s reality. Just feeling very protective of you and I think it’s important to have unwanted visitors think you are not alone….
