My hobby is wandering around forests and cemeteries past midnight and sleeping there.

I really enjoy going into forests in the pitch black at like 2am and wandering around exploring. The reason I do it is because there's something really comforting about being completely alone in the dead of night. Nobody is watching you and nobody knows you are there.
The darkness offers you natural protection from the eyes that would otherwise spot you. I don't use a flashlight so I'm totally hidden, I just navigate using the little bit of light the moon provides. Then after walking deep into the forest I'll find somewhere that looks good and I will lay down my mat and sleeping bag and sleep until morning, then leave and go home.
I've been doing it for a while now and I've never seen anyone, as you might expect. I hear animals and stuff but they're no concern to me.
Here's 2 pictures of my recent sleeps, one in a forest and one in a cemetery. So relaxing and I felt like I was invincible, completely safe.


Sorry the images are a bit dark.

yea i would do this, but I have bad experiences with feral creatures. as in they scare me, but never attacked lol

I've been woken once or twice by a fox that had come to investigate but other than that. I've probably had some creatures approach when but they've not made enough sound to wake me I'm guessing.

No offence but don’t you care about your personal welfare or safety?

Not really, I'm essentially invisible. In a forest at night with no light being emitted from you, you can't see more than about 3 metres in front of you. So the chances of someone spotting you is very very low.

this is a very intriguing adventure, the most I would do in my lifetime. what do you do to spend time other than this?

Play games mostly, I'm pretty introverted.

yeah there's a new civillization game out or so I've heard but I study computers and the first games are nice too.

I loved Civ 5 so will probably give Civ 6 a try but I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate 3, after I'm done with that I'm going to play Alan Wake 2.

There's something magical about being at one with nature.
Have you thought about investing in a pair of night vision goggles?
And a tripod for your camera?
You may well be even safer when you do this than sleeping at home. Nobody breaks into a forest nor a graveyard to nick stuff.
Would you like to get into foraging from the forest? For delicious healthy free ingredients for your meals.

Sounds fun, other than sleeping outside in the cold on hard ground.

It's not cold when you have a good sleeping bag and I have an air pad that keeps me off the ground and underneath that I have a foam mat to keep dampness off my pad.
