I have to say I saw this question somewhere else....and apparently is very valid as it got 18 pages of responses in 6 days.....and still going.
The location of the question has a lot of much younger, less experienced people around than on this forum....but am still curious.
I guess there is a lot of fearful people out there, or noobie's that have never done it, or feel the need for a lot or armament.....but I'll just ask the question here.
How do you get over the fear of camping by yourself?...or Do you fear camping by yourself.....Overnight/for days.
Personally I prefer a group, or partner....or at least my dog.......but have spent more than a few nights weeks out and about.
First night I never sleep much anyway...just have a hard time being comfortable, hot/cold, bugs lack of padding, wet, rain/windy.....Noisy...hard to relax.
Second night tired enough and body has relaxed enough to "melt down on the pad"......
Third night so tired you just don't care........and sleep well.
Also helps being a grumpy old guy that doesn't like getting messed with.
I can recall have my buddies bale out on overnight sleep outs pretty frequently as young boys......
