Blatantly Obvious Stealth Car Camping

  • First adventure in the estate car camper for a proper night stealth camping in a very exposed spot.
    The free camp site for the night had heavy traffic and very minimal cover, but I managed to park up in a blatantly obvious UK lay-by, hopefully I don't get caught stealth camping!
    We are now into spring but it was quite a chilly night, I have no heating in the car but I try to stay warm sleeping in my 3 season sleeping bag.
    I went for a budget car camping setup for beginners with minimal camping and cooking equipment using rechargeable batteries and a small power bank for electric.
    If you are new to the car camping life uk or building a micro camper I hope you will find this living in a car camp useful.

    i recently travelled wales for a week in my 120d lol. just put all the rear seats down and inflated a air mattress in the boot so it filled the space. little camping stove and my staffie with me was bliss. happy camping people

      Just a tip for the condensation aswell, if you get some wind deflectors on the car you can then leave the windows cracked open and you wont get condensation 💪

    Great vids, I don’t live so far away in north Norfolk so recognise a few of the areas. I’m planning to get a camper at some point and inspired to do a bit of stealth camping!
    My Ford focus would be a bit cramped 😂

      Thank you very much, I love north Norfolk but it's getting to be not very camping friendly 😓 yes stealth camping is good fun, van is ideal for the extra room. I'll be out in my van camping next week!

      @meatmanifesto  Před 10 dny

      @leowoodbridge755 my only concern is cars roof bars ain't made for that kind of weight, also only really good for campsites as you're a bit vulnerable up there at night.

    Your video has inspired me to start car camping.
    I'm binge watching your videos as you're living the life I want to live.
    The jump starter pack is a fantastic idea.
    Can I ask you a couple of questions about it?
    Can you charge it while you're driving along from the cigarette lighter?
    How low a percentage can it go and still be able to jump start a car?
    For example if I was to run it down to 50% while charging my phone would that still be enough to jump start a flat battery?

    • @meatmanifesto
      @meatmanifesto  Před měsícem +1

      Awesome glad to hear it.
      They are awesome jump packs, takes about 10% of the battery to jump start a car so it's last ages. A phone would use hardly any power at all like a few percent

      I meant to say it's illegal to wild camp in England kinda frowned upon camping in your car with the old bill
