I’ve had no issues with leaking during heavy rainstorms, it’s easy to set up, the mattress is comfy and it stayed in good shape even after leaving it parked outside during winter months. NOTE: I use the Smittybilt Overlander Tent and it’s THE. And wild animals are not likely to mess with you when you’re 9 feet off the ground. After all, the only way to access the tent effectively is to climb up the ladder – just another hindrance for potential murderers. Sleeping in a rooftop tent just feels so much safer than sleeping on the ground. I understand not everyone is willing to invest in a rooftop tent, but I couldn’t resist bringing it up. If you want to pump up the jams and do your own thing, look for dispersed campsites with no other campers nearby.

Often people like to camp in silence but they’ll be too polite or too shy to say so.

I use this Waterproof Bluetooth speaker from Amazon on all of my camping trips! NOTE: I do NOT recommend listening to music out loud if you are camping near other people. Typically, I’ll create a “Camping” playlist the day before we leave so I can just shuffle it up and go.

With most paid-for music streaming services you can download music ahead of time for offline listening. Bears are a real threat in the backcountry, but if they hear before they see you they’ll usually keep their distance! When you’re just hanging out around camp at night, playing some music is actually pretty comforting – and it has a dual purpose! Not only will it keep your mood light and drown out any strange noises, it’ll also ward off any potential predators. So you know you’re at least safe on that end. If anything big was in those bushes you’d be sure to hear it clumsily moving around, and typically large animals (bears, cougars, etc.) hate being stuck in tiny, pokey environments. Even if it’s just a bunch of bushes and thickets, it gives you a sense of security. It helps to set up your tent so that the back (and maybe even the side of it) are up against something. Everything somehow sounds louder and scarier from inside a tent. The sound of flowing water is relaxing and it drowns out all the tiny noises (leaves falling, mice scuffling) that you’re guaranteed to mistake for a murderer approaching your sleeping quarters. The best thing you can do if you’re scared of camping? Pitch your tent near a river! I always recommend camping near a water source, for multiple reasons, but in this case the reason is noise. Ways that will make you wish you could spend EVERY night in a tent! Hey, don’t squash it till you try it. Ways that don’t involve drinking until you pass out (unless that’s your thing). Thankfully, there are ways to chase away the murder-y nightmares and “horror-movie proof” your tent. Francis and I used to have a Halloween tradition (yet another thing destroyed by the wrath of COVID) where we’d go out into the wilderness, camp, and watch the newest season of Stranger Things. To be honest, I sort of enjoy the element of creepiness. After all, the only thing between you and the outside world is a thin sheet of nylon.

Whether you’re afraid of bears, serial killers, or shape-shifting clowns (can you tell I just read “It”?) the first few nights of camping will probably feel as though they’ll be your last. I think we’re all a little scared of camping – no matter how “macho” you are, it can be super creepy. With Halloween quickly approaching, I wanted to talk about something extra spooky: tent camping.
