Wild camping and backpacking alone can be enjoyable and fun, but for many wild camping or backpacking alone fills them with dread. The thought of being alone in the woods or on the mountains alone in the dark might seem like a scary proposition.

It does take time to get adjusted to camping on your own and becoming accustomed to the sights and sounds of nature. Many scary sounds and noises during the night can seem terrifying at first until you realise what they actually are. Sometimes the simplest sounds around you can make your mind and fear levels go into overdrive.

In this video I give you my thoughts on solo camping as well as some of the more unusual things I have experienced. If you have a similar or interesting stories to share or advice for people solo camping alone for the first time then please share and post in the comments below.

The Ochil Hills are a long range of steeply sided, round topped hills, stretching 25 miles from the Firth of Tay to Stirling.
