As a boomer I’d give you the same advice I’d give my daughters and grandchildren. I’d move campsite and check your vehicles for tracking devices. I've never seen your channel before today but the thought of anyone stalking a young lady is extremely unsettling. Let the police know what’s going on. If you have a partner or spouse keep in touch with them while solo camping. I know that takes away from the experience but it’s better to be safe.

I just said much the same, but related to her cell phone and Google account. If they have gained (hacked) access to her Google account they can track her through GPS that way too, not just a GPS device like an Apple air tag or whatever. I've heard of it happening before and it's actually what cops use to track people too. They don't need to go to all the trouble of trangulating your cell phone like years ago, they can just get access to your Google account, which follows you via the phone's GPS, so they can send you targeted ads when you are near a place that advertizes with them.

At your next campsite you need to set up multiple trail cameras in places that it cannot be tampered with. Then you will have video proof if the stalker returns. Prayers for your safety!

Tracking someone down by a picture of their face at a bad angle is hard. License plates on the other hand . . .

She is in a very creepy and probably dangerous situation which includes stalking which would be a terrifying experience. For you to just dismiss that with a few words without sharing proof is to me very irresponsible and frankly quite sick. I agree to some extent that we have to be careful trusting (for us) unknown KZreadrs (I have never heard or watched this woman’s channel before, it was recommend in my feed with a title that made me want to watch it). Some KZreadrs sadly destroys the legitimacy of all KZreadrs because there are some who go to extreme lengths to get more views and subscribers to get more fame / money. It’s disgraceful and sadly not very uncommon. If that’s the case here, she’s very cruel to her audience. However I wouldn’t dismiss her serious claims by throwing empty allegations out there as you are doing, stating that she made it all up herself. Especially if you don’t know the person, just typing a few words without proof. That makes me more suspicious of you becasue it’s not normal to say and do such a thing Unkess you truly know and present why you believe or know that this is the case. Regardless, it serves as a reminder to people going alone into the woods, camping or hiking. There are strange people and creatures out there and one should never let there guard down, even if there are no dangerous animals in the area. There are many mentally ill people who are filing the streets, go rogue into the bush etc. One can’t simply enjoy the nature anymore which is sad. Never go alone, arm yourself, put trail cams from where you park the car to the camp site in a position so that it would capture a person trying to remove one of them. It’s worth while especially if she’s being stalked. It’s very creepy and scary. The person who did that and left a note with a photo should be locked up.

This is very disturbing. I wouldn't be surprised if your destroyed camp was being covered by a trail camera as you were talking. They either followed you there or you were electronically tracked. This is my first encounter with your channel and I'm very concerned about your safety based upon what occurred. What you present here is something everyone needs to understand which is the world is a dangerous place and unfortunately it has found its way into wilderness areas. I used to solo backpack and camp and I always kept my head on a swivel not just because of mountain lions, bears and wolves but also because of people. I was an active nature photographer and I will say that it is easy to become so immersed in the process of photography that you can become distracted from potential threats. You might also consider various camp perimeter alarms for when you sleep at a solo camp. Please be safe.

Whatever the case, I am sorry to hear of this recurring nightmare for you. We live in a sick-minded world. Much love and appreciation for your spirit through all of it. You are loved.

This is the type of thing a neighbor or local land owner would do. The creepy trail camera pictures and message are just so personal. A sick individual for sure.

How? You’re trying to tell me that the thought is never in the back of your head? Men are aware of how dangerous other men are. More so than women are even. I don’t even feel 100% safe with my sidearm and dog. There can always be two crazed hunters with guns, or worse.

So sorry you're having to go through this, I think you're a wonderful person, love your videos.

“Let’s see who has the longest breath…and I’m pretty sure it will be me” YES MAM! This is my first video of yours but I am subscribed. Hate this for you, and that its something you’ve gone through so much before, but I admire your spirit and bravery; its really inspiring! So glad to see you have a couple forms of protection!

Hey Vanessa! I've followed you for a few years now and I'm saddened that your love for bushcrafting is compromised by some jerk. Only advice I can give you is to stay armed. Don't rely on your dog to protect you. Too many times, dog companions have been neutralized. Think about using perimeter alarms at your campsites but set them up discreetly in the event that you have a watcher. Have your sidearm at the ready at all times and don't feel bad about it. The alternative could be much worse. And lastly, there is an old saying here in the states that goes, "I'd rather be judged by Twelve, than be carried by Six". Meaning facing a court instead of your funeral. That said, don't be afraid to USE YOUR WEAPON, if a threat arises. BE Smart, Be Ready, BE SAFE! Phil from Massachusetts, USA

trail camera with cellular connection is a good way to gather evidence (as well as capture fascinating wildlife pics). Even if they find and disable the cam, it will have transmitted at least a few pictures or videos first. Also you can have another cam watching the cam!

@@ChickensAndGardening BAZINGA!!!! Today's trail cams can transmit pictures in real time to a cell phone. Perps are identified BEFORE they can damage them. Also, I haven't seen this mentioned in the comments but if it were me, I would do a handwriting analysis on the note. It can reveal what sort of personality the person who wrote the note has. It works. Here in northeast Pennsylvania, it's fairly common for people to carry concealed. We don't advertise the fact because that would defeat the idea of "concealment". Bad guys don't need to know you carry a weapon until its needed. Good luck young Lady. Eyes open; No fear: Be safe!!!!! Much love.

I can't believe how crazy some people are. Camping alone is always risky but when you know someone's watching it's the thing of nightmares. I really hope you can sort this out. Stay vigilant and stay safe. Take more safety precautions please.

Jeezo! This is proper sinister. One of the most disturbing things I’ve ever heard of. It’s not right that you need to feel unsafe in your quiet place. What is wrong with these people? Big hug from the U.K. 🇬🇧

The world is getting sickening we all need to be careful out there 😢

Hello beautiful bushcraf lady, this is the first video I have seen on your channel, and then I saw others and I want to tell you that I am very sorry. I have been doing activities in the mountains since I was a child, and several times I arrived and camped one weekend and the next weekend they had destroyed all my work to make my shelter with walls and a good roof for the rain. That's why I understand your anger and your helplessness and your disappointment. a big hug and keep practicing and making videos, never give up.

This is the first time finding your channel. I spend a lot of time in nature as well but have never had that situation. I'm sorry that this happened to you and your right there are sick people in the world with nothing better to do. Stay safe.

This is DEEPLY disturbing. Not only is it such an utter shock, but this character clearly knows how to find you and follow you, and has VERY violent intentions (they always go after your possessions first). I'm glad that you have a dog and some weapons, but I'm going to echo several suggestions that have been suggested elsewhere on these threads . . . - Relocate your camp, well away from here. - Collect ALL the evidence, including photos, notes, the damage; give it all to the police. - Consider not going out alone anymore.

We watch your programme regularly. We are from England and so sorry that someone has destroyed your camp. Please stay safe. Sending love to you.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, you have to go to the police and notify them of this behaviour. Even to creepily / blatantly msg you, it’s already harassment if your instincts are constantly making you uncomfortable. Take screenshots of those messages and keep a file database for proof. Be careful out there and stay strong! You got this! ✌️

Sorry to see that someone is so sick as to do damage to your camp and stalk you, NEVER show weapons you have to protect yourself. I always train my dogs to sniff and recognize friends from enemy, Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to you and your family.

So sorry to hear about this happening. I might be wrong, but that picture looked like it was from a trail camera. The property owner needs to install some in the area to see who’s trespassing.

There's nothing worse than someone coming along and ruining all of the hard work and sweat you put into building this. I'm sorry you had to walk up to your camp and find it like this. I would definitely be installing some hidden trail cameras at and around the camp. Hopefully this will never happen again!

That’s a great idea, sadly the chances of this person doing this again, either following you or destroying your camp are probably pretty high, do what you can to protect yourself, and if you can catch them on a trail cam, there’s no better evidence than a video. Hopefully I’m praying this doesn’t happen to you again, but should this person be dumb enough to do do it again (especially after seeing this video) and all the great advice you’ve received, they will be caught and put in jail where they belong.

Some of the trail/game cameras are capable of uploading images when they occur with a cellular signal. This may be what the stalker is using, but it is also a strategy that you could use. Even a basic game camera might be enough to capture any activity in your bush craft camp location.
