What does Bigfoot do with marbles?

Yep! I read a bunch of solo experiences/write ups and I saw this exactly, or one account where one hiker said they were so scared the first night they ended up staying up virtually all night but by night two they were so exhausted that hungry mountain lions and/or grizzly bears could've been outside the tent and they would've just slept through it

They take them as interesting gifts. Imagine being in the woods, by youself as a Bigfoot. Theres only nature, no made-made art. I bet they look pretty cool to the lonely, isolated Bigfoot.

All you need to do is light a fire later at night and put it out before you go to bed. The smell of smoke will linger throughout most the night and keep most animals away. Just keep your food away from you cause that's the one thing that a bear or something might overcome his avoidance of fire to get to.

I think they like being alone. Or maybe they have far away friends. Wish i knew 
Hiding food is definitely a must in bear and cougar country.

I think I may do a solo trip to Palo Duro Canyon in TX. They have these awesome little private cabins you can rent. I could use a few days in the middle of nowhere. Although there's a limited number of these cabins so I bet they're hard to come by.

Also would be epic for astronomy/telescopes.

Same. But for me, it can be tough to find loyal friends who will stick wit ya. Short term friendships mostly.

Yeah man, at least once a year I go away by myself
Usually to France and Spain to go surfing but I have been to China, the US and Morocco by myself as well.
I like doing things by myself so I dont mind camping in my car by myself for a week. And when you are traveling alone its very easy to meet new people.
Nowadays there is so much information available and getting translations is super easy. But if your apprehensive I would suggest starting with a solo trip to a first world country where you can communicate easily and things arent too far removed from what you know. There is no rush, as you gain experience and confidence you will find that you can go to more "out there" places and be totally fine
TIP: write down the hotel adress and or phonenumber when you go out.
When I was in Shenzhen for the first time, I had the hotel adress but the taxi driver coulndt read So I had to call the hotel and have them explain it to the taxi driver. Or actually the taxi driver had to explain what he needed cause everybody could only understand Chinese

See how long it takes before you start talking to yourself out loud, sitting by yourself in your mountain hide-out
I usually start on the second day
