- I head into a small patch of woods, next to an Auto Zone and stealth camp for the night. Enjoy some beer and cook some chilli mac. Overnight there is a storm with plenty of rain (photo included). In the morning I hightail it out for to complete another urban stealth camp.

Awesome stealth spot, and great vid!!
Steve! This means a lot buddy, thank you so much. Cheers 🍻
This channel was a good recommendation. Thanks Steve.
Just found this channel and wasn't sure,but if it's good enough for Steve I just subscribed.
Subed, saw Steve's comment seconds later. Stealth royalty! Good on you mate, enjoyed your video, waiting for more!!!
Dude is a legend putting that tent In the mud like that , I salute 💪
You know it's good when the big man steve himself comments. Great video bud.
Thank you! I was amazed when he did that. Steve is my hero.
The stealth camping phenomena explodes. Wives everywhere: "Where is my husband? Oh, ya. Stealth camping night"
Hahaha seriously. When I annoy my wife she says "Don't you need to go camping or something" 😂
Found this video this evening and loved it! Have watched a lot of your other ones. I haven't camped much the past 4 years as I was going through cancer treatments. I'm in remission for nearly 3 years! I eat a banana every morning with breakfast. Have never stealth camped before, but tent camp in a nice Coleman tent I've had since 2014. Has endured some nasty thunderstorms and has never leaked!
Joyce congrats on the remission! I'm really glad to hear that. Hope you continue to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.
I also love to see you camp in thunder storms that’s awesome keeps me on the edge of my seat for sure.
Thanks Carla! People really seem to like it. It’s become my absolute favorite way to camp.
Yep, stealth is fun. Cops asked me once and couldn't understand 'why', in my own town. Trick is to find a place without other transients.
Dude that's exactly right. For multiple reasons, you want to avoid places where homeless people are camping. But it's interesting how we're doing something for fun that is just their lifestyle.
Absolutely love this type of stuff!!!! Subbed, liked and rang bell!!!!!
Thank you! Heading out film a new one tomorrow
Love this phenomenon
Me too bud!
Great job bro! Saw this as my first on your channel and had to like and subscribe! My new binge videos til I'm caught up.
Awesome man! Thank you so much for watching. I'm really working hard to make each one better than the last.
Nicely done, I like to stealth day camp. Will have an overnight soon.
Thanks man! I subscribed so I can catch that. Cheers 🍻
Awesome stealth vid!
Thanks Broski! Crush a shotgun or beer bong for me, brother 🍺
Greetings from Australia 🇭🇲 first time viewer ..
Loved it ...I hit the sub button 👍😊
Thank you Mike! Super excited to have you on board buddy. Cheers 🍻
Loved your video man never been camping but your video motivated me ! Shout out from Chicago Illinois!🙏🏼👍🏼
Nice dude!
Late night, watching after work. Gonna try to camp a little bit this year. Cheers! Subbed.
Thanks Chuck and welcome aboard bud!
really Enjoyed the amazing video content, Camping ⛺️ behind Auto Zone, great and Interesting Adventure, thumbs up 👍🏻 for great content.
Thank you so much, Bonnie - Glad you enjoyed it!
Good vid mate. Keep them coming!
Thanks bud!
Great stealth camping. I love bananas, especially with icecream. Your videos make me want to go camping. I can't wait for summer to go camping and fishing!😊
Haha me too Karen, it been very cold out here. Bananas and ice cream is the bomb!
So cool
Thanks buddy!
Cool video!👍❤
Thank you Juan!
Good video. Stealth camping looks fun. Not something I'd probably dive into, but fun to watch. Keep up the good work and don't forget to tell us the different stuff in the famous banana flask!
Will do Ben! Stealth camping is fun, but completely different than regular camping. Camping out in the woods is really peaceful and relaxing, whereas Stealth camping is more for the excitement.
If that was Florida there would be a shanty village in that little patch of woods.
Ha! I don't doubt it.
Where is that exactly? I live in a medium size but rapidly growing city in Florida and know of only about half a dozen homeless and only see them a couple times a week carrying signs.
@@ChatGPT1111 I work in an industrial area of Orlando that had a lot of wooded areas. Most have been developed in the last couple of years but before then they were populated be a veritable village of homeless people.
Great video.
Thank you!
Love this stealth camp ⛺️
❤️
love your channel bro!
Thanks Chris!
I watch alot of Steve Wallis. This is the first time I've seen yours. It's kind of cool cuz I recognize the auto zone you was at. Hi neighbor!
Hi Jim!
Awesome video. The reason you have all that water under the tent is because your tarps stuck out past the edges of the tent and caught the water as it ran off the tent, then it ran underneath the tent on top of the tarp. If you tuck in the tarp on all sides underneath the tent then the water will shed to the ground and there will be no way for water to get between the tarp and the tent
That's actually a really good tip and makes a lot of sense. I'm heading out tomorrow to shoot another video (hopefully in the rain). I'll make sure I set the ground sheet up that way. Thanks!
Subscribed! My kind of simple and basic videos! =D
Thank you! Got another video coming this weekend
this was gooooooood 😊
Haha thank you! I’ve filmed a new stealth camp this weekend. It’s been too long!
I'm really liking that tent, table and chair
They are great! I've been accumulating that stuff for a couple years now. Unfortunately the Luci Light met it's demise in the rain video, haha! I'll have to pick up another because it was a nice little lantern.
@@CampingwithSamBananas oh no! Sorry to hear that. I'll be looking for something more sturdy for you
I've got a nature hike tent exactly like yours. I had to water treat it like 5 times to get it completely water proof. Tape sealed all the seams. I'm from Blacksburg VA. And I've stealth camped on VA. Tech campus in their woods. I love camping and hiking.
Hi Larry! I'm surprised to hear that because I've had this tent out the rain several times and have stayed bone dry inside. I've had bad experiences with leaky tents, so I know the feeling. But my experience with this tent was very good. This is the Cloud Up 1 person tent by NatureHike
@larry harrison Blacksburg, that's just up the road from me. I'm in Dublin
Sam Sam Sam! Thanks! Love the commentary love the videos! Great content! I enjoy when you prepare supper, one of my faves! Funny story I take a hit of my own “banana flask” with you!! One night at home totally safe I watched 4 vids back to back !! Let’s just say , that was a fun night! I made a make shift tent in my room after shot 3
Haha that’s awesome! Sounds like fun! Thanks for watching ❤️
Nice visit
Good stuff Sam. Greetings from Wilmington, NC
Thanks bud!
Love this mate
Thanks bud!
Gonna have to wait till I'm done work to finish watching. But I liked it already
Thanks bud! I've got yours pulled up and I'll be watching that over lunch.
Sam Bananas and Rain, name a more iconic duo. Another awesome vid man! One of my holdouts on driving anywhere to stealth camp is the uncertainty of where to park my vehicle... I guess I had never thought of, um, like, asking haha. Another stellar one in the books!
Haha dude! That's my thoughts exactly. It's always hard to figure out where to leave your car. There is nowhere within walking distance I can stealth camp, so I always have to drive. Thanks so much, Kevin. I appreciate it bud!
wow, good place my friend
Thank you!
i am digging your great lakes hat, great channel
Thanks bud! Not everyone notices what that hat is.
@@CampingwithSamBananas i live just south of the thumb, definitely recognize home
I camp with a kazoo tent but it also hammock camp.
I'm from Marengo, Ohio, (Morrow County).
My girlfriend and I have stealth camped and it is a blast.
Very cool 👍
Love it 😂
Thanks man!
From Barbados, Gonex Camping Tent, never stealth camp.. great content!!!
Thank you Mark! Stealth camping is fun, but I think real tent camping in the woods is probably better.
Psyched to know this is possible where I live. VERY cool!
Absolutely bud! There’s some great spots all over town
@@CampingwithSamBananas I just spent the last hour watching your stealth videos and picking off the locations. I love it!
@@cleansermacaroni9892 Dude thank you so much man! I really really appreciate that.
@@CampingwithSamBananas Thanks for the quality content!
Love it great video love Bananas
Thanks Don!
Awesome video. I'd like to see one where you're camping next to Advance Auto Parts. lol
😂
@@CampingwithSamBananas lol, it’s somewhat a joke but also would weirdly be relatable because I work at one. 😅
Just found your channel! Really enjoy watching. 🍺
Right on brother! Glad to have you on board. Cheers 🍌 🍻
Fun video brother
Thank you! Just a side note, the audio is a lot better in future videos.
I've got the same stove :) 11.00 dollars and it has served me well for 3 years with no problems.
Dude exactly! Camping equipment doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive
I'm actually a big Steve Wallis fan, and I just randomly landed in this channel. So far I'm loving it. I subscribed earlier cheers 🍻.
Dude that’s awesome! I love Steve too, big fan. Cheers 🍺🍌
Never fear Alvin is here, enjoyed the video bud im from illinois no i havent stealth camp looks like fun take care bud and yes i subscribed , Alvin
Thank you Alvin! Stoked to have you onboard buddy. Cheers 🍻
I'm not sure where you are but I'm surprised that little wooded area doesn't have a couple of homeless camps.. that tent certainly sticks out, I would cover it with some type of camouflage. I wild camp in my van and I do try to take some precautions so that people don't see me getting in the van at night but when I'm getting ready to leave I don't care if they see me get out and climbing in the driver's seat. I've watched several of your videos so I guess it's time I subscribed...
Hi Doc! Glad to have subscribed. I'm looking at some new low profile tents for stealth camping. . Hopefully within the next month, I'll have a better setup. However you might be right. A camo tarp strung up could make it great for stealth camping.
Nicely done
Thank you, Chris!
Am From Montana and want to start stealth camping also just came across your channel lovin the content brother keep up with the great work can’t wait for more stealth camping
Welcome aboard bud! Thank you so much for watching. I've got more to come!
@@CampingwithSamBananas what kind of camera gear are you using for the videos just curious cause like I said I want to start my own stealth campin channel thanks again and keep up with the great content
Dude you should go for it! I am recording completely on my phone. Galaxy Note 10. However I am planning to upgrade to a GoPro 9 and some type of DSLR. I'm weighing a few different options. But you'd be surprised what you can accomplish with a phone. And I use iMovie for editing. I bought a MacBook just to be able to use it. If you have a PC and want to stick with that, I'd recommend subscribing to Adobe Premier. I've investigated a lot of free editing programs and they can be tough to use. But if you want to explore free editing software, I'd start with Hit Flim Express. Good luck buddy! Comment on one of my videos when you start and I'll subscribe.
@@CampingwithSamBananas I will let you know I would love to get me a Mac book I heard Mac books are way easier to edit on
Great video! Just subscribed.
Thank you Nicole! Got another going up tomorrow morning hopefully. This time behind McDonald's!
@@CampingwithSamBananas can't wait to catch up on your vids!! Watched all of Steve's.
@@nicoler5936 Thank Nicole! Steve is my hero.
Wow that tent really held up in that rain
My wife bought it for me and I'm so glad she did. It's a fantastic tent and not that expensive. Link is in the description.
🏴Hi subscriber from Greg Ovens love your hideouts 😂 xx 🏴
Awesome! Greg is real modern day mountain man. Thank you for subscribing!
Steve Wallis built that little hut and had a step 2 I bet!
Dude you might be right about that!
@@CampingwithSamBananas do you have a review on that machete? It's the drop point or bolo I believe? I have it in my cart as the kukri and keep putting it off.
@@Ray-Willey Hey bud I don't have a review on it, but I'm happy to give you my thoughts. That's the drop point blade. It's a little too big to do any bushcraft/fine work/feather sticks, etc. It's just big enough to clear brush and it does a good job of that. The other thing is that I'm not great at sharpening an edge unless it's a scandi grind. This is not a scandi grind and also it's not a straight blade edge. So I've found it difficult to sharpen. Biggest benefit is that it's super cheap, so it's totally worth a try to me. I've had it for a year. Still using it.
@@CampingwithSamBananas awesome thank you!
@@Ray-Willey My pleasure bud, good luck!
You look so relaxed like you smoked some good green 👐
I plead the 5th
@@CampingwithSamBananas me too haha 😂
1st video I watched... I subscribed. Not a huge banana fan, more of an apple guy myself, to answer ur question but I'm gonna keep watching nonetheless! Also Steve approved so there's that!
Thank you Dan! Apples are great too 👍And Steve is my hero. Welcome aboard!

Hi I love your video it is so awesome 💖💖💖💖💖😘😍😘 New subscriber
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Well done on the subs buddy, it’s a tough old journey trying to get your videos seen but the strongest and most persistent survive and prosper, well done mate, enjoy your content
Steve that's a nice thing to say. I really do appreciate that bud. You've got a great channel yourself and are coming along quite nicely I must say.
Dude, at 18 seconds...🤣 You look more paranoid than Steve Wallis on a stealth camp.
🤣 Yeah I definitely was too haha!
I like your stuff videos buddy good job 👍
Thanks bud!
There's just something about camping in the rain or snow. I love those videos best of all. And I can't wait to try that Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter.
For real! I don't know what it is, but camping in rain/snow is just an incredible experience.
Be a good spot for a winter fort
Somebody else had that idea too LOL!
That spot was a lot smaller than 1 acre, not even a 1/4 acre, unless there was more to be seen. Fun video.
That was pretty much it. It was tiny, but I'm bad at estimating size. Thank you!
Another great adventure Sam. Really enjoyed the choice of location, chow prep and the cautions you identify to all watching. Each video gets better. Thanks.
Thanks William! Always nice to see you in the comments. I appreciate you are seeing my progress, because you've been watching since I started. It means a lot, thank you!
Been there done that.
Ur channel is taking of now buddy. Congrats 👏🎉🎉🏕👍
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it!
Yes, have stealth camped. Been some years now. Out of necessity. Actually on occasion I slept in my van during the day at a Meijers.
You were stealth camping and doing VanLife way before it was a trend.
Hahahaha
Ok cool
Heard about you, first time watcher
Thank you! I appreciate you tuning in.
Steve brought me here. 😉
Steve is my hero. Thanks for watching!
Another awesome video. Love the enthusiasm. I'm from Texas and I'd love to go stealth camping but both of my tents are ruined. Need to get some new ones (family and solo).
If you're looking to keep it cheap, I'd check out Ozark Trail brand at Walmart. If you want a decent backpacking tent that won't break the bank, check the Naturehike link in my description.
Thanks for the close out shout out, my friend! As usual, you've made another great video, and I appreciate the kick in the butt to get back into the editing room and get some stuff posted. Keep up the good work, and I'll do the same. Cheers!
Cheers bud!!!
Rock on.....
.
👊
Great video. Awesome tent. How do you like it?
Dude I totally love it. My wife bought it for me and it's super waterproof, lightweight and fairly affordable. There's a link in my video description if you want to take a look at it.
Great camping I appreciated ur videos thumb up❤️👍
It is nice to see u and wish u dear friend😊
Thank you, nice to see you as well my friend!
Great spot. I would have preferred being dropped off. I live in an area where there is absolutely no wooded area that people, mostly drug addicts, do not walk through, live or hide in. So, no stealth camping for me. I enjoy the activity vicariously through you and others like Steve Wallis.
Thanks Joe! I'm a big fan of Steve Wallis as well. We have dangerous areas in our town as well, but this isn't one of them.
🤘
Cheers 🍻
I’m stealth camping right now in the guess room hoping not to wake the wife. I have to be out by 5am here in Tennessee. Wish me luck 🍀 jk. Great video bud!!
Haha good luck buddy!
That tent is not very Stealth :p
But nice video 👍
Just a small tip , bring baby wipes to clean your gear , they are just awesome.
I don't hike without
I'll keep that in mind! I usually don't take because they aren't really biodegradable. But I never though about using them for gear. Then I wouldn't mind hiking them out.
I have tinnitus so I would have camped right next to the transformer walking in for some nice calming white noise.
Hey that’s an idea!
Your channel is blowing up mate, awesome to see 🍻 well deserved brother
Thanks buddy that means a lot! Edit: just saw your cemetery stealth camp is up. Can't wait to go watch that bud! I'm on a road trip, but will watch that sometime tomorrow. Cheers bud 🍻
Great video, really enjoyable! I do a lot of stealth camping, too, and so can really relate, making it all the more fun to watch! And I love camping in the rain when the tent's up to the job! Can I ask what kind of backpack you have? Yours looks very similar to my USMC ILBE Gen 2. Thanks for sharing....really good stuff!
Thanks man! Dude yeah, stealth camping and rain camping are super fun and I got to both on this trip. That backpack civilian, it's the Mardingtop 65 liter. I've got a link in the description.
Great video mate. That was a nice spot u found too. Watching from Melbourne Australia. Still locked down here so no camping for a while. Keep up the good work!
Thanks bud! I'm really sorry for everything you're going through in Australia. I've been watching the news closely. You have my sympathies.
When the king of stealth camping recommends and comments, I’m definitely on board.
I couldn't believe he did that! Welcome aboard, bud. Happy to have you. New video dropping Tuesday morning. Cheers 🍻
I wish the autozone I worked at had a spot that good by it. My manager would probably let me camp next to the store
Sounds like you have a nice manager.
@@CampingwithSamBananasshe is. most autozones are pretty chill.
Like the video, time for a step two ^_^
Always gotta have a step 2, in honor of the StealthFather.
Get in the zone!
Haha I should have said that
I must have missed the weed bag
Did that mosquito repellent device work?
Worked like a charm. It's called a ThermaCell. Link is in the description if you want to check it out.
Ah fuck I love Sam Bananas time. You should do a collab with Small Plots.
Thanks bud! I'm going to reach out to him soon. I'm dying to try a Space Kitty 😺 cheers!
I just found your channel!! where are you located? I am in Tallahassee, Florida
Hi Chris! I'm in Toledo, OH
First , put some vodka in that red bull, next what happened to the banana flask , anyhoot , good adventures today 👍
Thanks bud, cheers 🍺🍌
Please I hope you will understand that I had to get this out of the way...I subbed to you channel because of your cute adorable face and voice...and your adorable nature, Sam.

Great video. The rain did sound very relaxing. I did check out your shout out and subscribed. Looks interesting
Nice to see ya, bud!
