Questions people ask.
Why the red bag? I liked it so I bought and use it.
Do you really live in that van? Yeah
Why are you camping there? I’m not that interesting so I go to an interesting place.
Camera gear I use.

You beat me to it! Good job man! I tried twice last year but couldn't find a suitable roundabout haha. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you Steve. Big huge fan of yours. Yeah we probably got a lot more roundabouts to choose from over here. Thanks for your comment my channel would be nowhere without you.
OMG a comment from the main man himself lol u have truly made it now offcamping 😉👍
Yo - be cool if crazy neighbour passed by
Comment from Steve👍👍 nice one mate.
Englands had roundabouts since before steve was born,Canada introduced them in the 90s so more off campings natural environment and way more ground cover in uk. Was he in Wipsnade going for the Canadian experience??
Steve W UK version, instant subscribe. Need a friend called crazy neighbour now.
Thanks mate I can dream.
@@offcamping gotta watch see if there's a step 2 ;)
He might already have a friend called daft bloke which could he the equivalent 😉. And lovely bird instead of beautiful wife😊
@@m0rce1 I can't that's copyrighted haha
@@offcamping I saw the can.... ;)
So I've recently been watching a lot of people surviving in the wildernesses of Canada etc. and now I am watching some bloke on a roundabout. Excellent stuff. 💯
Some people say roundabout are more dangerous and grizzly bears haha.
Take a high vis, you'd be surprised how many places you can get to with one!
Hi vis and a clipboard, you can get about anywhere
Needs to put camo face paint on as well as camo clothes won’t be seen by any one! Bit scary crossing the road tho at nite all camouflaged out
Plus one of them counters on the end of a rod. Go anywhere.
Saw the title, and had to laugh. I'm looking at things to do. I have a Bivvy bag, and am ticking off things like, camping on a Munro, an Island, etc. Didn't think about a roundabout. It's on my list now! :-D
I'm glad I was able to give you the idea have fun 🙂
You got a bothy on your list? X castle ruins, beach, cave, shepherd hut,rooftop or abandonedvehicle or treehouse? Even a church.😜😜❤️🏴
Oooh also a trampoline is good too,kids ❤️ it! X
This is mad as fuck and i love it 😁
mad? me? haha thanks for watching 😊
@Moe Szyslak Thanks Moe and I'll have another Duff whilst I'm here as well 😁
😡 😤 😠
Lots of people suggesting a high-vis vest would have made you less suspicious. I'd add some "workman" clothes, several laminated rectangles on different coloured lanyards, a clipboard, and a grumpy expression. Go anywhere with that on.
“ show you round the roundabout” love it. Great video, it’s good to see someone making a video to show how accessible wild camping can be.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I’ve always thought of roundabouts as good places to Bivvy - cause you’re hiding ‘in plain sight’ . Nice to see someone doing it tho! Cheers bud!!
It was nice thanks for watching 😊
Always thought that this would be possible. Thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through you!
my pleasure mate. thanks for watching
First I saw title, then I was confused, this ain't Steve 😱 Time to hunker down and watch this.
Edit: I like what I see
SUBSCROOBED
Yeah come on it's only Monday Steves not on until Thursday haha thanks for watching.
Thanks for showing us around your roundabout - reminded me of the guy who used to live in between the lanes of a dual carriageway in Wolverhampton centre. He was there for years
your welcome mate
Wow..everyone dreams of a whole, uninhabited island to themselves to camp on. Great idea.
i know right life goals achieve haha
I did this many times a few years ago whilst hitch hiking to the south of France with a couple of mates ....roundabouts even hidden in gardens at the back of hotels.....great adventure....😉👍
It'd be damn bloody tempting to dig up a bunker in the middle of this thing. Watched a few of these now and there is zero chance that anyone would find it. These look to be maintained once every 10 years by a single worker, and nobody realistically is going to be camping on these long term anyway. Perfect spot for a bunker.
This is so undesirable that I might just give it a go myself.
Love it!
Thanks glad you like it
Hats off to you man.
I’ve often thought about roundabout camping but never do it.
👏🏻👏🏻
thanks man glad you like it 😊
No dogs and dog-walkers has to be a big plus-point. Ironically, if you'd worn high-viz work gear with "Council" across the back, you'd be even less conspicuous.
Maybe but being a bit conspicuous is part fun haha
My thoughts exactly👍
Never seen a council worker with a rucksack 👀
Re watching all your uploads again mate. Be good to see more of your van life. Super jealous. Keep up the good work 🤟🤟
I did this with a cousin and a couple of mates when I was a kid, good times man! Some workers came out during the night and placed those cones with the flashing beacon on around the island. We crept out and took some into the bushes as the works carried one around the round about 😂. All good fun.
Absolute legend. Keep it up mate - your channel is growing well!
Cheers mate yeah more to come
I know the a303 really well, I used to be posted down Bulford, 3uk division and signal Regiment, great video bud 👌
Just recognised the roundabout off the A303 in amesbury near Stonehenge 👍🏼
I don't know what your taking about 😂
im impressed with that roundabout knowledge, how could you recognise that?
I live there that’s crazy
@@alastaircrawford7749 where I didn't see anyone else on the roundabout. Haha
Countess Roundabout....I'm about 6 miles from there. :)
Funny thing is I've always thought of doing this! I also had a royal mail bike that I cycled from boscombe to Ringwood ahaha 😆
You could buy a camouflaged tarp, to cover any side of your tent that is visible or to make an awning to cook / sit under
maybe next time
Camo face paint shoot a few squirrels with an ak47, people would just think it’s cars backfiring 👀
Cool video. Enjoyed this video very Much. Good job making this video.looking forward to more adventures.😊
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. Yep more to come 🙂
Hilarious idea for a vid! hope you thought of leaving no trace and put back any debris from crashes where you found it 😉
New sub from Malaysia having watched this video. Big fan of Steve Wallis and his antics outdoors. At your current rate of suvs, you'll soon be up to 1K and beyond. Keep it up buddy and stay safe. 😷 ATVB from a Brit expat now living out here for coming up to 16 years. 😷🏕🇲🇾
Thanks buddy glad you like. More to come
Love all th daffodils, “oh to be in England now that April’s here”
Yeah it looks pretty but still chilly. 🥶 thanks for watching
Best to take a small scythe or some secatures to prune your way through 😁👍⛺
Going to start doing stealth camping around my area soon. Roundabouts look like fun
Well stay off my roundabout I've claimed it haha
@@offcamping lol I'm nowhere near Stonehenge mate
Proper stealthing it there mate loved the vid 👌
I did this a few years ago in the town centre. It was good fun. 👍
Yeah was strangely relaxing because you know other people are unlikely to come across me.
When I say the comment about the “Steve W UK version” I’m like yeah! I’m down! Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate.
Love Steve Wallis so am delighted to find a fellow Brit doing this in our weird and wonderful countryside! New sub!
thanks for subbing
Enjoyed the urban bushcraft,cheers.✌🍻⛺
I enjoyed your video very much, subscribed and looking forward to watching your entire collection. keep up the awesome work, please.
Thanks I'll try.
Subscribed straight away. Thanks love these sort of videos. Cheers
Thanks buddy. Appreciate the sub
Nice I camped out in Birmingham by the motorway for 2 weeks when I had a side job. I even told the radio station by text and they wished me luck on the air
Awesome vid mate! I’ve always wanted to do this
Something new Why not Look like You enjoyed it Nice one
Cheers pal thanks for watching
Great idea well sneaky.
I’d be too scared of a rogue drunk driver.
They might take my guy ropes out lol😂
Great vid bud !
Cheers pal glad you enjoy 😊
Stealthy sneezing! I'm impressed 🗣🤧🙊
Superb little film. Enjoyed that thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
When you look on maps, near motorways always seems like a good place to go camping, until you consider that it's near a motorway.
Top tip for getting on and off of roundabouts, put your backpack into a large bin liner , put on a high Viz vest , get yourself one of those grabbing poles used for picking up litter, then you are just a group of well-meaning volunteers picking up litter , nobody will look at you twice.
Saw the title and thought it looked interesting. Got in 10 seconds. Thought it looked familiar. Saw the road sign. Hang on thats my town! Instant subscribe
Nope sorry to get your hopes up but it was all green screen. Never even heard of amesbury. Thanks for watching thou 🤣🤣and subbing
Subscribed before I even watched video. Lol, quality channel, looking forward to more like this.
Thank you mate appreciate it 😊
Hard to see the branches for the trees. 😂
Just a jest, love your vids mate and would love to watch your van progress, to be honest, if I had a van I'd be doing the videos from the hedgerow I parked next to.
I love it all! Steve Wallis needs to shout out this channel to get you some love!
Cheers mate
So 1 week ago you had 100 subscribers now you have 491. That good progress.
I like all the stealth camping channels. This guy got to be the second best. There is one CZcams channel called stealth camping with Steve wallis. He's from Canada.
Yeah I watch all Steve, big fan.
I know nearly on 500 it a bit overwhelming lol. Thank mate I appreciate your watching 😊
@@offcamping Steve Wallis gets money donated for beer 😉 nudge nudge 😂 when it starts rolling in, I'll come ! 😄👍
Steve Wallis' channel is quite nice. It's hard to keep things from being repetitive though.
@@james0000 lol mate it is a camping channel so of course it's going to be relatively same idea used in a video.
1160 right now. I came in Sunday at 580?
This is cool . May have to try it
I have to admit, you are probably literally the only person in the world who stealth camped on a round about, people whom are homeless or sleeping outside would more sleep in a more secluded area that was more logical but due to this video & idea i have to admit you are probably the first & thats amazing!
im not the first these a couple of other videos out there. there are nicer roundabout (if thats a thing lol) but one i went to look at the other day had a homeless camp on it. thank for watching.
Great content mate! Keep posting stuff like this and I’ll stay tuned pal :)
thaks mate will do
You got a new subscriber from me. You were doing it exactly the way I like to watch. Keep it up.
thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
Outstanding!!! My kind of camp. Have subscribed. ✊💪
Thanks for you sub ✌️
This brings back the boy in me remembering my childhood in Scotland making den's and lighting fire's with rope swing over the burn my age 69 yr
69 not to old for a roundabout camp
I still do that I’m nearly 50…..sometimes I’ll even take one of the kids! X🙈😜🏴
You taken stealth camping to Whole new level great video Iv subbed Steve W would be proud
Cheers pal.
Something to insulate you from the ground, a good sleeping bag, and a tarp to cover over you is all you need. Since it so well ventilated it doesn't trap the moisture in the same way that some tents do.
i knoiw just a bit of a wimp sometime and wanting the comfort a tent offers
Nice job, roundabouts are awesome places for camping . I have some great ones around my area. if you think how many people you see on roundabouts it's not a lot. enjoyed the video and subbed 👍
Thanks you pal glad you enjoyed thanks for subbing.
I enjoyed watching that, thanks, sometimes it's nice to break track and go with what you got, fair play for picking a roundabout lol. Nice one.
Glad you enjoyed it
I drove past the other day and wondered about in there! Pretty sure it’s the same one ie Travel
Lodge and the roadworks have just about cleared....
yep thats the one. thanks for watching.
great content to watch absolutely enjoy watching this sort of content. keep it up
Thanks, will do mate
Love Steve! Found your channel and totally enjoying it.
Thanks glad you're enjoying it
Hello from NZ, I liked the comment " don't out anything down or your never find it". what we do is to tie an orange ribbon to all the bits of gear and then it's easy to find, also I put a small piece of reflector tape on, this makes it easier to find in the dark. How strange to wild camp on a 'roundabout'. I like the adventurist spirit. Keep on wild camping ( we say "going bush").
thanks for watching. good tip that
hi mate, love your vids and approach to stealth camping!
subbed, keep 'em coming..
best regards.
Cheers pal. yeah more to come 😊
Did this a few times whilst cycling. Google Earth is brilliant for finding the big wooded ones. Best done in the summer when the foliage is thick.
legend lol ive just started wild camping me self.
subscribed, a UK stealth camping channel is what I need in my life!
Thanks mate
Thanks for this video… it was entertaining…
Great content loving the stealth camp I have subscribed for future videos stay safe.
Awesome, thank you subbing
Ah thank god I have another camper to subscribe to . Y’all are the coolest
your welcome thats why were here
Subbed. Nice to see a uk version. Good content too. Hope the channel takes off. Good luck.
Much appreciated thank you
I like it when I recognise the place👍 lucky you didn't get hit by bottles of piss in the night from the truckers 😂 like it though, I'm waiting for the week that is warm this year before I go 😉 nice video, congrats on your new subs 👍
i know at the moment it like winter is never got to end. thanks for watching mate
Nova Scotia? ;p
I used to live in durrington and always thought that countess roundabout would be great for a stealth camp. It served as a good place to chill for a while if I missed the last bus or taxi back from amesbury on a late night a few times 😂
Yep it's a special place haha thanks for watching pal.
I just watched this video and it was a instant subscribe keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for subbing really appreciate it 😊
Great video and interesting to watch
Certainly not much space there for camping ... you would think they didn't want people o9n that roundabout.
no they left me a perfect tent shape space for my tent
Just got recommended your channel, I normally watch Steve Wallis. I really like your style, I subbed! You picked a great spot btw, I could tell by the lack of rubbish it must be a good stealth spot! Although with the lack of leaves also quite difficult to hide yourself from view!
Thanks for the sub. thats one was one of the easiest one
That was something a bit different. I enjoyed it, too. Thanks dude. Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for subbing
daring. and you did it . a brambly camp. great video..
Cheers mate thanks for watching.
I've got a feeling this channel could take off big time 👌
🤞🤞🤞
It has been by the sounds of it
Hiding in plain sight! Many years ago while hiking the Pilgrims’ Way I camped in a Spinney that was in the middle of a golf course. I was basha camping and my basha was invisible from any more than a few metres…I was actually woken in the morning by the sound of some early golfers walking close by!
i need to get out in my basha again soon
Didn't think it would work in a roundabout. Good video. Good thing that tents only bright red on the inside. I am surprised how good it looks at night.
Yeah it blends in nicely at night. Thanks for watching 😊
Roundabout Camping, Brilliant idea m8.
Cheers mate. Thanks for watching
Good stuff man, subbed. I'm thinking about doing some wild camping at the Lake District this summer.
Sound good I need to head to the hills to.
Nice. Wish we had a round about. Great channel. Breakfast would’ve been nice to see as well. Cheers from South Padre Island Texas 🤙🤙🇺🇸😷🇺🇸💯🇺🇸💯😷
Cheers pal that watching. I'll get some breakfast on the go next one
Great video mate! Made me proud to be British!
thanks mate im glad it did😊
Lots of places round there for a quieter night..but worth a try. 👍
I don't mind the noise it's for the experience. Thanks for watching pal
Nice idea, even though you'd be more comfortable at that Travelodge or the Antrobus hotel in Amesbury! Fairly safe bet no-one would bother you where you are. Just hope there's no night time roadworks etc & the workmen use the centre to go for a pee! That'd be just my luck if it were me lol!
Thanks for watching. Hotel would have been comfier but it's nice to get out your comfortzone sometime.
Nice one . Urban stealth like it !
Cheers pal thanks for watching
I want to camp on a roundabout now... Nice little vid. Well done for making it through the adventure and thanks for sharing. 👍👍ATB - Ben
Thanks mate. Trafalgar Square aroundabouts all yours 😊haha
Did ya get around to it yet😁
Subbed! This is great stuff, keep it up mate!
Thanks for the sub!
Gr8....no harm done whatsoever👍
What a bloody good idea! I like it
Cheers mate
@@offcamping gonna check out some more of your videos. Thanks for uploading
"I think I'm allergic to this nature." Proceeds to camp in a jungle of thorns.
immersion therapy
Could have been the air pollution?
What a lovely hobby
Some of those spikey bushes were Hawthorn. This was used over many centuries as hedges to keep cattle in their fields as it is not only painful, but can also cause bad infections. However, much of the rest of the foliage was harmless enough.
just more annoying than anything else
Might want to invest in a nice ground tarp for the tent in the future. Saves wear and tear on the bottom.
i know its carrying more stuff thou lol. thanks for watching mate
Hey, nice camp dude - well it's a camp. We can go anywhere much of the time. If you were homeless this would be ideal. The homeless I've known would consider that good security. Good going. Mark
Yeah I felt pretty safe on it. Thanks I appreciate you watching.
@@offcamping No doubt you were. Peace!
