Parking Garage Stealth Camping

  • I camped for the night hidden in my SUV in a parking garage, or parkade depending on what you call them. I needed to apply for my passport and the lines are notoriously long unless you're there first thing in the morning. Let's be honest, first thing in the morning is not my friend so I decided to camp out to be there bright and early. The garage was quite hot, but the camping was nice and stealthy.

      You guys are thinking too much about the stuff, that makes no difference. At the distance, nobody would look at the mid-range SUV and go
      "hey, why does it have it's windows cracked?" - They'll take it for granted, since the place is hot (IF anyone minds that at all)
      Upclose, even the hidden under deflectors, the gaps would provide the smell of a sleeping person, also maybe breathing noise. So suspicious person would note that anyway, and the rest just wouldn't care, & let you be.

    I’m not sure why it took so long for the algorithm to send me Steve videos but this was my first and I’m hooked! I’ve watched non-stop Steve all week and am catching up with recent events. It was bittersweet watching you and Crazy Neighbor adventure down the river when I’d seen the video about his passing first. And hearing about your dear wife made my heart break for you and your mom...It’s hard to even comprehend loss like that or find the words to express my condolences. Your videos are a gift to us and I sure hope that you continue to find solace in making them. I feel like I finally have a friend to enjoy camping adventures with (my friends do not share my obsession) I hope you continue to make videos of any sort whatsoever because I’ll keep watching ‘em.

      Yes! But also, downtown Seattle has the same thing. It’s not common knowledge but when you spend enough time in the maze you figure out how to get from one end of the city to the other without getting wet 😂. I suspect a lot of large cities with underground parking garages have similar situations. The municipal buildings are a good place to start spelunking. Happy adventuring! 🍺

The owners may care if you sleep in your car, but the people getting paid to keep an eye out do not.

    What I love about your videos is the creation of tension and "stealthness" that in reality, has no real justification. A friend and myself drove across Canada, and found backroads, Walmart parking lots, etc, and either pitched a tent, or slept in our car, without once being interrupted and asked to leave. We even ended up putting a tent on a trail in BC, that had dog walkers and runners early in the morning. We slept on golf courses as well. Never were we afraid or had to be "stealth."

    I used to work security, and I'll say this much: sometimes it's a judgment call on whether something's genuinely worth your time and potential risk to bother with. Like, even if that security guard knew you were stealth camping, and that was technically against the rules, it is REALLY worth it to try and take some dude into custody or make him leave if all he's doing is sleeping in his car? If something more serious is going on, that's one thing, but a lot of things regarding security and enforcement is a gut check as to whether the juice is worth the squeeze.
    Also, can I just say, it's nice to see a major city that actually takes security seriously, instead of taking law enforcement for granted and then seeing things fall apart into lawless wasteland.
