there is stupid, and then there is industrial strength stupid.... Outside of being washed away, camping in a low spot whee the air will move thru is just adding to the overall "pyramid of stupid". The guy does a series of videos on squatting ...eerrr, stealth camping. Like this Some are funny, most are, at best, bad advice. Still, might be worth a look if you are worried about squatters on your property/in your AO.. YMMV - thought you-all could use a laugh on a Monday.
Big Rock Candy Mountain was written about Hobo queers taking advantage of young boys on the road. Hobos are generally not the brightest bulbs on the tree.
I have camped in a variety of places, but being in a steel pipe underground with only 2 exits is not my preferred location. Many "best places" and a real decent place was the Maui Hilton beach back when it was not done (late 60s) and therefor a good spot especially if you pick up a side kick of a local dog!. The top of a rest stop structure after midnight in a warm season was decent as the mosquitoes were blown away and the vantage point allowed for quick exits. A mil hammock 20 feet up between two trees is either a real trap or a super quiet sleeping spot. Lots of places as longer as it is between S>it hit the fan time.
I just now read this thread and started to watch the vid out of boredom. There so many "false prophets" of bush and urban craft. This guy is at the top of the list.
I took my little brothers hidden in the trunk to that movie at a drive in. I believe they we all remember that one. lol.
Somethings rotten in Demark. I have no idea what that means but my Grandma used to say it, She was born there so...
See my thread on Pontificators......this guy moves near the top of the list. "Now I just gotta go park my car somewhere".......and comes back to find it stolen, stripped, towed, or burned out after he wakes up to a soggy sleeping bag due to runoff.
Oh, yeah! I can just see 2 feet of slushy melt-water rolling in all of a sudden like an AZ flash flood--and pushing a piece of tree big enough to tangle him up until hr either freezes to death or drowns. If he was a super hero, he'd be Stupidman's spunky side-kick Brainless Boy.
Hey, The top of the backseat in the 66 mustang could be raised up and allow a 145 pound dude to crawl in, Don't ask how much I weigh now....
If you want to stealth camp in a mini van, don't block the windows with curtains. That's like hanging an "Occupied" sign on your vehicle. Instead, fill the entire back with cardboard cartons, stacked floor to ceiling, wall-to wall. Build them into a fake stack that's completely hollow, duck-taped together on the inside and braced with taped 1X2's. Leave a full end flap open at the rear gate. Open the gate, climb in.through the flap, and close the gate. Vent your domicile with cutouts that are out of the line of sight from the windows, and use an old computer fan to exhaust the moisture from your breath and keep the fresh air flowing.. Insulate the inside with 1" Styrofoam in winter, and you're good to go.. Put in tiny spy-holes so you can make sure the coast is clear before you exit. Get a 12V cup coil for hot coffee and soup. You can live like a King in your Cardboard Castle of Love...
