<p>I have been out camping a few times, once with a group, the other times with my girlfriend. Although I enjoyed those times very much, I often wondered what would it feel like to enjoy the complete solitude of nature on my own. But every time i think of it, the combination of solitude and nightfall together seem to freak me out. I just cannot handle it. Last night around 11 I went for a bike ride and as soon as I left the last houses and malls, and saw the big open sky and the lake, I got spooked and turned back. What a shame!</p> <p>My questions are:</p> <ol> <li>How do you deal with loneliness and solitude on a a solo camping trip?</li> <li>Does loneliness make the trip more or less enjoyable?</li> <li>Does dealing with solitude in wilderness make you feel like a stronger person when you return?</li> </ol>
