Stealth Camping Behind Home Depot

  • I found an amazing spot to do a little stealth camping for the night behind a Home Depot! I brought out the hammock of course, but there were no proper trees to hang it. I used the hammock and camped directly on the ground as a bivvy sack to keep the bugs away and it worked fairly well. The MRE didn't work out too well because of an expired ration heater, but I did find some food in the area.

    Hey Steve. There was a guy who has his own utube channel and credits you for saving his life. He has stopped drinking because he saw your videos and one video you did was at Walmart. You said if it’s 8am and your drinking you need to revalue your life. So he went camping. He is now 8 months sober bro. I pray all is well for you. Again I am so sorry about your wife. Don’t give up. You have changed peoples lives. Including mine. Thank you. Steve B.

      Still, I think part of the thrill of stealth camping is trying not to be seen at all. I don't think most people would be mad at him (especially if he explained what he was doing), but getting seen would defeat the purpose.

      Dont know where ur from bud, lol-but as a person with common sense, some people might-not saying you or I would; but there's plenty of people out there who call the police on more trivial stuff than this, like kids skateboarding or loitering in a parking lot-also there are signs posted just about everywhere these days that inform people near that what they're doing is technically illegal. On your side here, if I saw anyone crawling under a bush and hunkering down, either a stealth camper like Steve or a homeless individual, I'd just about never call the police-also not naive enough to think people won't; hence the stealth

    Steve is great because he's the perfect combination of law abiding citizen and rebel. Somewhere along the way he got it into his head that stealth camping is the most wholesome and decent criminal act one can do and he's fallen in love. Where-as some men might go mad with mischief and forget themselves, you can tell Steve is always very self-aware and really has no interest in getting caught or doing anything terrifically outrageous. For Steve, he's just there for a bit of adrenaline, a bit of suspense and a beer or two.
    Bravo, ol' chap, bravo.

    • @frailty7280
      @frailty7280 Před 2 lety +35

      to be fair, its not a criminal act at all, He's said so in other videos but basically his local laws dictate that its not trespassing unless there's a sign that specifically says no trespassing in that area or if someone tells him so. hes basically just doing a classier version of taking a nap on a park bench lol
      Maybe sort of frowned upon, but law abiding nonetheless.

    i spent about a decade training and fighting in cold weather environments and i always found that if mres are stored for a long period of time in tight packed cold environments (like a connex for a few months) it worked wonders to kind of knead to water into the sachet inside of the flameless ration heater. seems like the chemicals get compressed into a cake and dont allow enough surface area for the water to interact with the chemicals.
