Need advice for second trip... tomorrow!

I've been growing my own shrooms thanks to advice on here and micro dosing for a few months now. A couple of weeks ago, I took four days off from micro dosing and then took 2 grams of golden teachers that I had dried and ground down into capsules. I'd describe it as a fantastic experience. I was calm, felt warm, euphoria, happy, comfortable. I was able to lay back and experience some light visuals. The weather was nice and I was on the couch on my back patio watching the wood move around on the ceiling. I could close my eyes and my mind was doing things hard to describe. I could see things in great detail. I felt great for days after as well. I also felt like I was still in control. At one point, a dog was barking and I was back to reality. Later, I had to get up for something else and was back in my right mind almost instantly. But each time, I was able to chill back out and go back into my mind if that makes sense. I felt like I was on the edge of exploring some sad things from my past that I've buried deep down for years.
Now, it's two weeks later. I took my RV out and I am currently at a more remote state park and have the entire place to myself. I'm also alone. My wife is at home and has to work tomorrow. My capsules are .4g each. Last time, I took five of them for a total of 2g. This time, I'd like to take seven or maybe even eight. I'm thinking tomorrow during the day when I won't be bothered. It's a little chilly outside so I will stay in the RV. A place I'm comfortable. Is this a reasonable plan? I'd be taking 2.8g to 3.2g of the same batch as last time.
My only minor concerns are that I don't have a trip sitter or anybody with me. It's a beautiful, quiet place where I'm at. I have some music to listen to and planned to just lay in bed. I'll be here until Wednesday and don't need to leave.
Anybody have any thoughts on this? Bad idea?

I think it's a fantastic idea.
Tripping in a natural environment is great. If you feel like it, leaving the RV and explore the surroundings a bit can enrich the whole experience.
In case it gets a bit difficult keep in mind you'll feel fine again very soon.
Wish you a wonderful experience!

Thanks for the advice! It's a great place to walk around. I'm camped right on a lake. I just don't want to run into a park ranger or anything. HA! I'm not sure if they'd be able to tell if I was high or not. I do have a medical marijuana card and it's legal here so, probably not a big deal anyways. I'm just not looking for any attention. That's the only other human I've seen since I've been here. He didn't stop, but I was busy setting up the RV. I guess I'll just play it by ear! I've found that shrooms are completely different than marijuana or alcohol which dull my senses, make me sleepy, and slow me down overall. With shrooms, I feel like I'm aware. But I've never done more than 2g.

Sounds good. What time will you dose? Will you keep warm?
Maybe tell a friend or someone they are your "phone a friend." Tell someone where you are. Have some water and easy snacks.
Be safe. Best wishes.

This right here. Just the peace of mind of knowing you have someone on call is enough to keep your trip from spiraling into darkness. You also have us on shroomery too if you need it. To be honest though, it sounds like you have a good plan. Be safe and enjoy your flight.

Stick with your first dose. We learn more when we listen rather than speak. Be kind. The small moments in life that tend to go unnoticed are sometimes the most beautiful.

Holy shit!!! Absolutely amazing and not at all what I expected. When I first felt it coming on, my instinct was to go lay down and close my eyes. Itās hard to say what I saw. Amazing. Then my thoughts turned to my brother and our complicated but good relationship. I totally didnāt see that coming. This all felt like it lasted hours. I see that it has only been two hours and I have spent the last hour outside.
I got up from laying down. It couldnāt have been more than 30 minutes but again, felt like hours. I took a long shower, brushed my teeth and bathed myself. Took my time. Everything felt amazing and like Iāve been taking it all for granted. Even brushing my teeth felt amazing.
I got dressed and have been outside ever since. Walking around. Itās about 60 degrees where Iām at and on the windy side. I didnāt bother fixing my hair after my shower either. Iāve just been enjoying the sound of the wind flowing over me and through the tall trees here. The sun is shining down on me. I must have walked three miles already.
Hereās some goofy shit. I 3D print these little dick magnets too. I put them in places only an adult will look. On my walk, I put one in each of the RV electrical boxes. Hopefully it will give somebody a laugh.
I recently got laid off from a high paying job that Iāve had for years. Six months ago, I would have stressed more than needed about this situation. But it doesnāt even matter because I know that I will be fine and so will my family.
Overall, I am feeling great. Even my skin feels great and my feet, back and knees which are sometimes sore, feel brand new. Iāve never enjoyed a walk more in my life. Havenāt seen another human all day long. Wonderful.

Normally I take stuff like this for granted. If I go for a walk, I always feel like Iām trying to reach a destination instead of just enjoying being outside and walking. Not today though. Wonderful! I even noticed that Iāve kind of had this stupid grin on my face for a couple hours now. I think itās just being relaxed though, for once. I sat on this dock for a good 20 minutes and watched the waves, felt the wind, sat in silence and felt like for once in my life, I was right where I was supposed to be.

Laying in my hammock. Watching these buzzards soar overhead. Not today buzzards. Maybe someday, but not today buzzards!! Also, I suppose that the best music for tripping is subjective. I was never a techno guy. Maybe Iām too old? Listening to Abba, watching these big bastards circle overhead. Iāve seen a couple of huge bald eagles too. Theyāre absolute warships!!!

Anybody ever done a back to back trip? My impression from reading here was to wait two weeks or more. Iām wondering if another trip tomorrow night is in order or if I should just chill. Donāt want to ruin a good thing. Iām here for the next two nights and the weather is looking great. Iām hoping the wind will die down for a campfire.

Sounds like a great time. Thanks so much for sharing.
Yeah you can trip multiple days in a row. There's diminishing returns though, you need to take more to get to the same place and sometimes not quite as magic. Worth it if you feel that way though, imo.

Thanks for all the advice! I might just ride this wave and take it easy the next couple of days. It's rare that I get to come out and get away and not have any responsibilities so... trying to make the most of it. Just made myself some Miso soup. Delicious. Wind is dying down. Going to have a camp fire here in a few hours. I've always been a firm believer that staring into a wood burning fire goes back to your caveman roots. It's good for your soul to watch the flames, and experience the warmth from one of earth's oldest and most visible chemical reactions. You don't need shrooms to feel good from watching a fire, but it sure can't hurt!
Any advice for tonight? Not looking to trip again. Just keep the feel good vibes going for the night. Maybe another gram with dinner?
One thing I think is good about this, is just freeing my mind from the stressors and worries for a half a day. You can think more clearly to find solutions to your issues when you can free yourself temporarily from the stress and anxiety that comes with your problems. If that makes sense.

That sounds like you had such a wonderful day. I really like how you found novelty in the everyday things like brushing your teeth. That seems to be a common theme with mushrooms. And to finish off the day with some soup and a fire after being out and about in nature with a healthy dose of mushrooms is just... well, I'm jealous of it anyway š
As for advice, it sounds like youre riding the vibe wave. Trust yourself and if you think another gram with dinner is what you're feeling, I'd say go for it, it can't hurt but you may want to hold on to it and microdose that gram over the next week or save the little snack for a later big trip depending on how much you have left.
You're definitely vibing with the afterglow of an awesome day though, I'll give you that. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I really enjoyed reading this one.

Thanks! I decided to hold off. Iām just enjoying my evening now. The wind is dead calm, itās pitch black out here, I have a nice warm fire going, listening to ducks and coyotes in the distance. Thereās a cow out there somewhere making a bunch of noise too. Itās unseasonably warm and thereās lots of bullfrogs singing too. Itās a moonless night but clear. The stars and the heavens are out out in full force. The Milky Way is showing up through the tall trees. Amazing!
As for having shrooms left, I have way too much. I went overboard with this site and all of the growing and the tek. I am using Pastyās EZ dial tubs and have found them to be very fruitful. I currently have about 200 grams of dried shrooms on hand and in capsules. Golden Teachers. I also have two more tubs of Golden Teacher, two tubs of B+, and a tub of hillbilly that were starting to fruit when I left home yesterday. Iām going to have another 500 dried grams on my hands by the end of the week. Iāll get another couple of flushes out of each tub too. Iāll have a couple thousand dried grams by spring break. I also have three more spawn bags about ready to go into tubs. I feel like I have more than I know what to do with. Iām not interested in selling them. But Iād definitely give them away. These things should be free for everyone! Ha! I only know one other shroom guy. Lol. How long would these last in capsule form? I like growing them and mycology as much as I like taking them!
