Afraid of the dark

My brother and his friends are inviting me for a camping next summer and I told them to prepare first eotech 552 night vision to keep us save Lol! Seriously, I am really afraid of the dark especially outdoors. Tag me anywhere but not in the dark. As children we were train to go home early before the night and my grandma had so many scary stories about the dark that's why. I didn’t really survive my fear and I hope I can.
