  • In today's episode of Small Plots, I walk through the inner city to a power substation, where I find myself a muddy little stealth camp. After discovering evidence that I may not be alone, I decide to take my chances and brave the uncertainty of the night. Also, Tuna Creations.

      Thanks, Jim! I'm lucky enough to live in a city that very much embraces nature. I haven't shown it in small plots, but there's an enormous waterfall in the middle of downtown (There are actually 3 big waterfalls in the city, Yyu can see two of them in my "search for spring" video) and with the river, erie canal, and lots of old railroad lines-turned-trail, tons of accessible nature everywhere. Tons of places I've never even been!

      Thanks, Makoto, hello! If you haven't yet, check out the Catskills. They're closer to NYC and while not *quite* as impressive as the Adirondacks, there's a very similar vibe. Also, keep in mind that almost any New York State forest (forest, not park) has open camping... Not sure what the closest to you is, but there's probably one in/near the Hudson Valley. Thanks for watching! 😁

    • @smallplots
      @smallplots  Před 2 lety +1

      Hey thanks so much, neighbor, I really appreciate that! As for stealth spots, I don't want to divulge EXACT locations, but the majority of the sites I reach by traveling south down the riverway trail(from downtown where I live) , and sometimes hit the Erie Canal path or Lehigh Valley Railroad trail. Just look for clusters of trees on google maps! One tip: the west side has way more homeless activity and there woods are just generally used more, as they're closer to neighborhoods. Happy stealthing!

    peanut butter & jelly is a good roll up option. of course you can mix the peanut butter with jelly before heading out to camp. but it really leaves you wanting something to wash it down
    here is an odd aside about stealth camping. one of the reasons for camping in urban jungles is satisfy the urge to enjoy the sense of wildness/wilderness no matter how far or near to urbana

    Here's a tortilla-wrapping hint:
    Don't put the food all the way to the end of the tortilla so that you can fold over the ends a little before rolling it up like you normally would for a burrito. I'd use like an inch or so on both ends for this little fold, depending on the size of the tortilla. Anyway, if you do this, you generally won't have any problems with the food falling out of the tortilla, which can be a more annoying problem when you're camping (and potentially dangerous if there are bears around). No judgment here but this is something I thought was annoying about making burritos before someone showed me how to fold over the ends and keep the beans from falling out.
