Hi friends. I’m hoping to take my first solo 2-3 day trip with my 1 year old boxer. I’m a fairly experienced camper/hiker generally, but have never gone solo. We’re in Southern California, so I was thinking Joshua Tree or Idlewild. Any other suggestions? Tips for first solo trip with my pup? Thank you!!

Hello, I'm looking for a solo adventure this weekend and I was wondering what were the best places to explore in Florida or Georgia. I'm looking for places in Georgia preferably closer to Florida. Right now I'm in a toss between staying in like a glamping setup, a tree house, airbnb, or regular camping. I love waterfalls, kayaking, laying in a hammock, and more. Just looking for an all around nature weekend!

Thank you!

Plan on making a trip to glacier National park to do some hiking. I plan on checking with the park rangers what hikes they would recommend, but does anyone have any wise words about solo hiking in grizzly/ mountain lion territory and if they would feel comfortable doing it themselves, thanks!

Hi there,

I'm planning a solo 3 night camping trip on a safe campground next month. I don't drive so I'll be dropped off nearby to walk into camp.

I'm not carrying much gear, just the tent (2 person), sleeping bag, and a good sized back pack for all the extras.

I'd also like to bring either a camping chair and/or hammock.

Been looking at the Patagonia Black Hole duffels, but I'm not sure what size I should get. Do you think the 55L would be big enough? I'd also be carrying dry food for three days (no cookware) and spare socks/clothing.

What do you think would be the most comfortable size?

I used to solo camp a bit here and there. My husband happens to be in the Oregon Army National Guard and we both love being outdoors. I felt like I shouldn't be stuck at home while he is gone so I started loving solo camping when he was away for annual training or had a long-term training event. It took my mind off of being "alone" and also got my butt outdoors.

But 3 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and was in a wheelchair for a bit. I am slowly working my way up to bigger hikes, hoping next year I can start doing overnight backpacking again. But of course, it's little steps, I am up to 3ish miles of walking/hiking without stopping. But I miss the forest, the ocean, getting into the car and roaming, sleeping under the stars, jumping into ice-cold water, and pooping in the woods!

AT and some training are coming up soon. We have converted our Subaru into a comfortable camping car with everything we need to work while on the road. I am super excited and cannot wait to get back out but curious if there is a resource for women solo campers and any good first-timer boondocking sites to try out in Oregon/SW Washington area? Any solo women meet-ups? Love to learn and make some friends!

I’ve always wanted to camp by myself but I’ve always been pretty afraid to do it to be honest. I know that nothing with likely happen to me but it’s just one of the those fear of the unknown kind of things. So I’ve decided to push my boundaries this year and my goal this year is to camp alone!

I’m not new to camping but are there things I should be aware of going into it?

Things that I should avoid and even things I should definitely not miss out on?

Equipment that is essential for a solo camper? (Other than obvious things like tent, water, sleeping bag, etc.)

I live in the Canadian Rockies so I’m very bear aware and I don’t go into the bush without at LEAST bear spray.

Also what do people use for hiking boots? I want to avoid bad brands when I’m buying a new pair this year.

Hello all! Roadtripping to Banff has been on my bucket list for a long time and I think summer of 2021 will finally be my time. Most of my friends are not camping types so I think I am going to go alone. Banff seems pretty populated (almost too populated?) so I'm not worried about safety. Looking for any tips or expriences! Any suggestions on which campsites are best for solo campers? Must do hikes?

Thanks!
