Camping alone and 'The occasional weird noise?' I am so frigging gone whoever finds my gear can have it. No sir camping for me is the Motel 6 with a locked door and a gun.

I watch his videos every Sunday night, religiously. My wife and I call him the "Bacon Salad Guy". Reason: a while back he demonstrated his recipie for bacon salad. It was pretty much a pound of bacon with a few tiny shreds of carrot and lettuce. Funny guy!

As he's grown in popularity, he's had some frustrations. You can see it in his face and comments. Utube policies, trollish viewer comments and viewership numbers seem to be his main challenges right now. I sure hope he stays the course. Nobody else comes close to his level of skill, humor and entertainment.

So far, I've only camped on my own property, mostly for privacy and freedom to do as I please. I might consider some nearby Federal land but would have to research what sort of rules I have to follow: open fires, weapons, locations to camp, etc...
