There is nothing more retarded and gay than "stealth camping".>im camping behind a road sign or in a trash canNobody cares stupid faggot
>>2838937Camp in the woods near my town (UK). You are likely to get your tent set alight by some teenage yobbos.
>>2838937Why should I care about this thread
Sometimes it's based.
>>2838937I think it's a funny idea.
>>2838937you just do it to not draw unwanted attention when camping is not allowed, no? no one caring is quite the point to do it that way
>>2838937>I camp 10 meters into the forest linefixed it
the whole point of stealth camping is taking back your right to roam in an age of camp sites booked 6 months in advance by boomers in massive RVs that cost 50 dollars a night. theres a concerted effort by govs to make campsites scarce to drive up competition so they can charge more. i lived in a tourist town on the west coast of BC and the town is full of abandoned campgrounds from the 90s that the city closed down because they want everyone pushed into expensive campgrounds and hotels.youtubers do it in ridiculous places because niggercattle on youtube need to a gimmick for a video to get them to click, most places that a normal person should stealth camp are probably large parks where you can natually not be seen.theres a reason why steve is canadian, its fucking impossible to find good camping anywhere in this country anymore. camp sites are overpopulated shitholes now and the reservation system is camped by bots and theres plenty of places that should allow camping that dont.
>>2839198Isn’t like 98% of Canada just “crown land” or national forests or something?
> Stealth camping That's a interesting way of spelling "homeless".For real though, I did peep a stealth camping setup while stuck in traffic here in Portland, someone had a large tent camoflaged with foliage netting in some bushes right along side this offramp, and it actually seemed pretty secure and tucked away. Granted, if I were homeless, I'd rather go National Forest van life with it, heck, I spend enough time exploring the BLM land near me, I've half thought about at least setting up some caches out there in some of the areas I frequent. Idk.
>>2838937Back in my day "Stealth Camping" was just being homeless. If I camp, I go fuck off into the woods for awhile. Not play hide and seek with cars on a highway or some suburban grandpas.
>>2839201yes but generally crown land is way the fuck outside of cities, technically suburban and urban parks are crown land but will have park rules so you cant camp there.im pretty sure steve just got into stealth camping because he wanted to drink away from his wife for a day or two and he just turned it into a youtube channel.
>>2838937Clearly you care, whiny faggot
>>2839198i think it's called wild camping where you camp wherever
>>2838937"Stealth camping" is homeless larping for gearfags
>>2838937It's theft. It's right in the bloody name.
>>2838937It exists solely for youtube clicks.
>>2838937I think the name is intentionally retarded for the clickbait effect and to divorce the concept from hobo shit which is exactly what it isalso the youtubers are all fake cause if you squat somewhere urban at night it's almost impossible not to run into drug addicts or simply niggers or other trash who'll stab you for funit's statistically impossible that you wouldn't run into this shit if you do it consistently. they meme the video and then take the car and go sleep in a hostel
isnt that called being homeless?
>>2839857>when all is lost I can still try to start a youtube channeloh wait you need to be a rich kid to do this. almost forgot haha
>>2839855I think Steve did it pretty authentically though it's been almost 2 years since I really sat down to watch his stuff and even then he complained for a bit that he's basically done all the "spots" and that police and legality are kind of an issue.Dunno what he's up to now but yeah I think people probably jumped on a bandwagon after him and it is what it is
Hobo camping is the best method of traveling. Fuck hotels… im poor
Homeless people will watch "stealth camping videos and think to themselves, "holy shit. Imagine all the cheap liquor I could have gotten from ad revenue after all these years of getting fucked up and passing out in the bushes"
I stealth camp in my local regional park here in California all the time - it's a hilly/wooded grassland area with pockets of dense forest off trail. I hammock and backpack tent camp just a few hills/ridges away from any trail and the suburbanites literally never venture anywhere close. I always clean up, never do stupid shit like have fires (it gets very dry), and enjoy the trails in the moonlight.
>>2838937Its just camping where you're not supposed to.> Im driving 6 hours away to start a hike the next morning and I don't want to pay $200 for a shitty hotel Stealth camp> I want to backpack a segment of trail but all the backcountry sites are reserved 5 months in advanceStealth Camp> Hey there's this really awesome overlook where it would be awesome to hike and spend the night but camping is only allowed in the glorified parking lot "RV sites"Stealth Camp> I'm going out of town for X event and don't want to spend $200 on a shitty motelStealth camp> I'm trying to do a multi day bike packing trip but there's no fucking campsites anywhere on the route Stealth camp.Some states have almost no public land. People out west don't realize how lucky they have it, us Midwesterners kind of need to stealth camp to do anything that's a multi day trip unless we're specifically near a national forest or federal land.
>>2839210>suburban and urban parks are crown land but will have park rules so you cant camp thereWhy would you ever want to?
If you don’t camp in the city you don’t need to be stealthy.If you’re camping in the city you’re not camping.You’re homeless.
I use a snugpak ionosphere because it is so hard to see, despite it being annoying as fuck to get in and out of at 6 foot with herniated discs, seriously its painful but I never want to be found. I would never camp near a road tho.
