    Well, I tried out a chilly night of stealth camping in a culvert under a road. This is purely for entertainment purposes! Please don't go into a culvert, drain or sewer! This one was safe due to the time of year and the weather forecast. There was no risk of rain or flooding.
    This was a trial run camping in one of these, so it was a learning experience for me haha.

    I might suggest doing like several layers of bug netting in place of the tarp. It'll let enough air through while acting like a wind barrier. On both sides of your camping. Might help with keeping more heat in your culvert and still let you watch for headlights. It'd be less noisy than the tarp too.

    Long time ago I was a Navy Recruiter and I met a young man walking down the road from my station after getting finished PTing and I asked him if he knew where the Navy recruiting station was and he told me yes so I asked him to jump in the car and show me...long story short he became one of my DEPers. He was always early for our weekly PT and one day I asked him if he needed a ride home because it was beginning to rain and he told me he was homeless and lived in the storm drain near the road I first met him on. I offered him a place to stay at my house, totally not allowed by the Navy, but he politely refused and said he was doing just fine where he was. I told him to prove it and he took me to his storm drain and it was actually very nice, similar to some of the hunting shelters I used to stay at when I hunted in Alaska. When he left for bootcamp he asked me if he could store his camping stuff in my shed at my place and he would come get it when he got to his A school. Very nice young man, you would not know by looking at him that first day he was homeless and living in a storm drain.

      This, 100%, this. Also, if the culvert was say, 20 feet long (just estimating) Setup the cot in the middle, or roughly 10 feet in. Setup the tarps with the picture of the opposite end. This would serve multiple functions: with the heater in the middle, it would keep it warmer. Also this would make this spot further from the entrances. Second I would get some wood and set it up in a + or X shape just inside the tarp. Then wrap some string through it so the tarp didnt flap as much in the wind. Looking down a dark hole at night would reveal less perhaps if the tarp was also dark brown or black.

      Or like so of the guys did at Forrester school when they were in the rappelling amd rope thing. Set up ropes and climbed up above the roof over Headmaster office with madrasses and all . Camped one night there ,the next night above the garage same way. Mre and such they had. Most nervous ive been i was standing on the porch there checking from ground they got all up, when door went up, Headmaster came out, just a few second nervous chat whilst they were feets in the air above him with all gear. Mission Impossible moment that was.

    Next up: Stealth camping in the back seat of a random stranger's car. "Alright, it sounds like we're in the driveway and they have gone into the house now. Before I set up my sleeping bag, it's time for a Step 2. I'll be out of here before they leave in the morning if all goes to plan." On another note, some type of black cloth blanket would have probably been better for the culvert and wouldn't crinkle with the wind. Wouldn't let light through, either. Actually, a black blanket supported by magnets on both sides would mean that you wouldn't have to worry about the wind or turning the light off every time a vehicle passed. They wouldn't be able to see even a small amount of light coming out of the culvert, either. The side closest to the road could be sealed with the most magnets. A small 1/4" block of plywood maybe 1' x 1' or 2 x 2 would help provide a level space on top of the corrugations for the heater and such.
