  • On this weeks episode of Small Plots, I get a little loosey juicy in a torrential downpour while stealth camping under a water tower. I get wet, my tarp breaks, it's a whole thing.

    This was a such a great video. Like our old friend Drizzy says, it went from 0 to 100 real quick. That storm was nuts for a bit! Nothing like falling asleep to the soothing sound of rain hitting the tarp.

      Thanks man! Hearing rain is the best when falling asleep... the birds all night were annoying though haha

    Glad you survived the monsoon. I love the sound of rain on a tent.

  • @wildmanmountainjack3725

    Dude goes into the forest with a bright orange bag on his bike, talks loud frequently, starts a fire and shines bright lights around in the dark...... for a stealth camp. I love it.

    This was so good. Mediocre forest temperature McDonald’s, and channeling of Jim Cantore during a thunderstorm. Definitely one of your best. I wish I had public land as close. I live in a very wooded area but it’s all private land. Very enjoyable video Kevin. Thanks.

    • @smallplots
      @smallplots  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks, joe! Yeah there's a lot of land around that's owned by the city/ state / town, whatever. If I can help it, I stay on those places. I think once I made a video on land that was owned by an adjacent college, but usually its public. Camping still frowned upon, but at least big jerry with a rifle won't come knocking at my door!

    True story. I drifted off to sleep while watching this video and woke up vividly remembering my dream. I walked into a courtroom. Amber Heard gave me side eye and shortly after, Johnny Dep didn't show up for his deposition so the judge argued the legalities of stealth camping with the audience. My dreams are rarely this topical so I felt neccessary to share. Thanks Kev!

    Back in the 60's when I lived in a small town we had a park where the water tower was. Some people came through and pitched a tent under the water tower. The next morning everything they had was soaked and they thought it had poured rain all night. What happened was sometimes the water tower would run over.

    @whoever6458 Před 2 lety

    Definitely make a shelter with that fallen tree. That would be cool. I don't see a lot of good leaves to keep the rain out, though, but you could always bring a tarp to put over it in case you can't find good leaves and stuff.

    • @whoever6458
      @whoever6458 Před 2 lety

      I mean, there are a lot of leaves there and that would work if you put tons of them on top, but it sure is a lot easier if you can find large, green leaves. Then you know the rain is staying out.
