As a Native Cape Codder I have to tell you I will Never drive around that rotary again without thinking of you! I loved everything about this adventure and now I will become a follower of yours, thank you for making my day, week, month and years!
Mass native here: I have been around that rotary a million times and have always thought “I wish Steve would stealth camp there” so glad to see someone else did it. That was awesome. Thanks for the video my friend
He is the huge fan of Steve and he got the shoutout for Steve too 🔥🔥
Worthy effort. I still think that a high viz. vest and a clipboard, would allow easy access, and simultaneously discourage people from calling the police. As you would look like a city employee or utility worker. Stealth On!
I thought the same thing
Mass native here: literally never seen that before, only touched the Atlantic with my hand once during one of the three times I've ever visited the Boston metro in my life.
I"m a Cape Cod native and I think this amazing ,, its a busy rotary Lots of people take photos there!
Thanks William, you can certainly understand how busy it is as a native!! At one point I had to wait a full 4-5 minutes to cross hahaha. I did see a couple people taking photos there... this rotary definitely makes for a unique and memorable introduction to the Cape!
No they don't lol I've lived here my whole life I've never seen anyone actually inside the Rotary
Loved the Camping with Steve shout out. I think were all Steve Wallis fans! Love your content yo!
He is a real pioneer... thankful to him for inspiring a movement of stealth and guerilla camping!
Agreed. Gotta tip your hat to Steve! This video was cool.
I love Steve's videos. It was so cool when I saw some on stealth camping. So it's really awesome to see some one else doing it, especially right near my home... take the tip from Steve's videos. Get some hi vise gear and look like a dot worker
@@WesWherever hope someday you will meet him and do a lot of things together 🥳
It's true.. Steve was my addiction for the past 3 years since my daughter was born and with your new channel, I'm a big fan 👍🏼👍🏼
It's funny watching someone camping in a roundabout which I drive around every day.
same bro LMFAOOAOAOA
@@PaulAthanasiou he’s lucky he didn’t do it weeks prior when they were doing the painting LMAO
ummm if you're local you wouldn't call it a roundabout.... its a rotary.
@@lisabrennan420 Was just about to type the same thing. NOBODY here calls it a roundabout. Even the Irishman across the street who moved here from Ireland three years ago calls them rotaries.
Same! Though I take Sagamore on way to work and Bourne on way home.
dying over here. as a life long mass local. i can not believe your pulling this off. so funny. haha
I second this 😂
And there’s a police station right next to where he is
I can't believe anybody older than the age of six can't spell the word "you're".
@@DB-kl9bp I can't believe anyone over the age of six corrects strangers spelling on the internet, but here we are.
@@DB-kl9bpErm, ackshully🤓☝️
Steve's video was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail. He's iconic
Hey man, any Pine sap can be easly removed. Cover sap part with one news paper and iron it. It should stick to paper that way. Greetings from Slovenia.
Great advice!👍
handsanitizer works too!
Also, then the newspaper impregnated with pine sap will make a great firestarter...
Great advice Miha, I will be giving this a try! Thank you 🇺🇸🍻🇸🇮
I'm a Cape Cod native too! We always call it a rotary never a roundabout. There is another the Orleans Rotary that is pretty stealthy as well.
One of these times Steve will be there.
Wes! You are rocking this!! ❤ 😀 Thank you for honoring Steve Wallis too! I have been following him for years. I love how you include the history of the area and species names of animals. Your photography skills are mastered. Stay safe! 🙏 I look forward to your next adventure!❤
Hey again Suzanne, hope you are well!! Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed this one 😊
I agree. Its great that you give credit to Steve for inspiring you etc. Its a lot more awesome than trying make like you never heard of him while everyone can tell its like his vids. Very honourable! And of course awesome vids from start to finish.
I live in Bourne. There are always cops all over Bourne during tourist season. Most of them know me and leave me alone but when I first moved here they stopped me all the time for silly things seemingly just to see what I was up to, they're definitely a bit nosy here but I haven't had any actual issues with any of them.
Yeah I ended up seeing so many all around Bourne... I guess it's better to have too many police than not enough!
We all joke about Steve and how he's more paranoid than Batman and on the FBI's most wanted list. But seriously. It's amazing how easy Steve makes it look and when others try it, they get caught or draw unwanted attention
True, no one can stealth camp quite like Steve!! 💪💪
You're giving it a pretty damn good go!@@WesWherever
he's Canadian
@@RMJ1984 Dead right, Steve is the best. When it looks easy, you know it isn't.
And they have become copy cats off of his adventures.
I grew up on the Cape and drove past this a million times. Hope you enjoyed your visit!
Now you know of a new camping spot hahaha 😉 Seems like a sweet place to spend your childhood, although you gotta be tough during the winter!! ❄️ I spent a couple weeks on the Cape and it was fantastic! Thanks for watching bro
@@WesWherevermy mom used to do this as a kid haha!!
@@WesWherever When you're a kid here the winters are awesome, though it doesn't snow around here as much as it used to.
Getting our Camping With Steve on
Thanks to all who stealth camp.
Educational and a public service.
Stealth camping helps us learn what is possible!!
Love the Cape. Back in the day we could go pick wild blue berries at the powerlines but I don't think that is possible anymore. Life back in the 80s and 90s on the Cape was amazing.
I actually got to forage some blackberries at Buzzards Bay Park, was surprised to find so many there!
The electric company sprays them and they aren't safe for consumption. I got chemical exposure from foraging there.
The power lines are sprayed... Just to clarify
As a Cape Codder, I salute you. And rotary is the only acceptable term. Lol
This isnt just camping. It is history, food, fun, and beardy goodness in one video.
I know that stealth camping is the point of this video but I just find it funny that there is an actual Campground not 5 minutes from that road it's literally just down the street 0:06
Shawmee Crowell lol
There’s 2 so close! Bourne scenic on the mainland side of bridge and Bay view after the bridge
Camp grounds are expensive! Roundabouts are free 😂
@@CaptivatingVisualsMedia right?! 😆 I would sleep in the rotary over campground any day lmao
Well THAT raised my blood pressure! 😮 Very slick interaction with the cop. Glad you were ready with that “I’m making a documentary…” speech! Something tells me you’re gonna be needing that one again in the future! 😂 And nice shoutout to Steve. Can’t wait to see other adventures he’s inspired in you!
Thanks Bridget, I was really wondering if this one would work out... I'm thankful it did!! 🙏 I will have to keep that speech on hand, haha. Or maybe that I'm a birdwatcher - I learned that one from Steve! 😂 Thanks again for your support, glad you have been enjoying the adventures!!
I’m curious if the first cruiser had his eye on you, you blend in really well as a tourist/blogger more than someone intending to camp
I really thought he was... he might have been the one to call it in to state police 🤔
@@WesWherever Police often say they got some calls, whether they actually did or not.
@@WesWhereveryou can see a Bourne PD car leaving the barracks as the statie is talking to you😂😂 he definitely went over and told on you
The town cop was my son. He just sent me the video. He got a kick out of it. He said he was keeping an eye on him, but didn’t see him cross into the center.
I have lived in Massachusetts my entire 4 decades and will forever think of you when I go around this rotary now.
That's leaving a mark 😁❤
My childhood is filled with great memories on the Cape. Great video. And Steve is a legend.
Those cops were waiting for you dude! I'm glad you pressed on and got it done, another Excellent Adventure! 🙂
Hahaha yeah, thankfully it worked out!! Glad you two enjoyed 😊
Keep hunkering down my friend! Steve is such a breeze of fresh air in this superficial world and you are also one of that kind. More than thrilled for the next episodes. Seems like many more to come!
End of September 50k. :)
Thanks again my good sir, really appreciate your support! I would keep on sharing these adventures even if they didn't get any views, so having people watch is a nice bonus :) We shall see about the 50k hahaha 🤞
The yearn for cool forts never dies...
Native Cape Codder here and now new subscriber bc of THIS episode!! Oh did I ever crack up when you said you were waiting for the cop to leave… they basically almost never leave and when they do they come right back or are replaced with a different one. That spot right there is a prime one to check Facebook, tik tok or take a nap. I was wishing you made your entrance at dark but I guess that defeats the purpose for you. Great episode!! 😊 Thank you!
BTW- they definitely did NOT get a SINGLE call about you. 🤦♀️these cops are so cringe. My father was a cop/detective in the 80”s here.. oh the stories… lol
They definitely got multiplw calls lol i live here and a lot of Cape Codders are nosy as can be
@@Grateful-1992 no way.. especially if he’s walking around with a camera on a famous rotary that people have been known for taking pictures in front of it for decades.. not even a tourist would bother.
@@miahfukinrella007yes they absolutely would call the police.. most of Cape cod is old timers who call the police just as something to do cuz they're retired and bored
@@TheSultanOfBlocks🙄never heard of that unless someone was staggering drunk. None of anyone I’ve ever known in 50 years who went to that famous rotary to get pictures/video ever spoke to an officer. I’m a local an I can’t imagine calling the cops over that. It’s like the Las Vegas sign😂
@@miahfukinrella007 what does being drunk have anything to do with calling the police..your a local huh coulda fooled me.. calling it the las Vegas sign is crazy 🤣 I'm sure some nosy oldies would call the police over there too..they do it just to be an annoyance cuz there life is beyond boring..I've seen it first hand 🤣😂
Did the same thing when I was younger. Camo tarp 4 stakes and a pole. The three of us had a blast. You should trek down cranberry highway there's tons of spots there....the cops suck on the cape regardless of what people reply on here
This is awesome. So glad it came up in my RUclips feed. I’ve lived on the cape for 60 years.
arguably the most famous rotary in a state known for its rotaries. legendary work
Ballsy move camping there in the middle of that rotary. I love it. Some bureaucrat in plymouth county or with MSP are going crazy watching this. No doubt they are going to post no camping signs all over that rotary. Keep up the great content
I’ve driven this rotary dozens of times and never noticed the campsite in the center.
There isn’t one
After seeing CampingWithSteves “camping in a roundabout” video, I’ve always thought about someone doing it in the cape cod roundabout. Glad someone finally decided to do it!
Ah, yes. The bright orange stealth sleeping bag. Straight from the school of camping with Steve. 👍
I drove by this rotary so many times every summer and it's never occurred to me "Someone might actually be in there". This was super cool.
This is and always will be home. I mom lives about 5 miles away from this rotary, in fact she told me to watch this. This made my heart smile. The canal is hands down my favorite place on earth. I hope you indulged in some Lobstah while you were there.
I read this as he was making a lobstah roll lol.
I grew up about a mile away from this rotary. I remember when the Dunkin was a Howard Johnson's and then a Bob's Big Boy. It was always a bunch of scrub pines until they landscaped it in what I think was the late 80's.
i love seeing other people trying to camp in roundabouts 👏🏼✨
This one gives me a Steve Wallis vibe "Hunker Down my friend"!
Definitely! He is a big inspiration... especially for this episode in particular 😉
Nice homage to the always great Steve Wallis! Can't wait to see what you're up to next.
In a car detail shop, we would always use rubbing alcohol for tree sap, or lacquer thinner, but I doubt you'd wanna use thinner on your clothes. If you use rubbing alcohol, use 99%, and then rinse really good in cold water before you throw in washing machine.....
Turpentine removes pine sap
In 2024 people will sit and watch a lady being viciously attacked on their doorbell cam but will call the cops over a guy jaywalking...
Karen called the cops on my son fir fishing 2 days ago.... fishing...
Glad they solved all the murders and rapes in Chicago that we can go after 14 year old fishermen.
facts!!!
honestly they were probably worried that it wasn't someone who was desperate. It's near a bridge and also an easy place to step into traffic. Trooper seemed pretty nice about it as well.
People take their lives at that bridge with some frequency. Walking into the center of the rotary is absolutely dangerous as that traffic is generally doing 20-30 mph and you REALLY dont want to try and stop in a rotary. Not to mention... its LITERALLY across the street from SP Bourne Barracks, doesnt take a rocket scientist to find out that Staties do pay attention to their surroundings.
It's true about the bridge, I grew up a few towns north of Cape Cod and a guy who lived in my neighborhood jumped from that bridge when his wife filed for divorce. Amazingly he didn't die but ended up paralyzed from the waist down. Having jumped, regretted it immediately and survived it he came away with an entirely different attitude on life. He went back to school and became an architect and last I heard was doing well.
you're so right about Lobster. They used to serve it at the state prison in Maine a lot. It was a cheap way to feed the inmates.
Believe this is an urban legend throughout New England. Used to believe this myself but dug a little deeper into it and no one is able to find substantial evidence to support this.
Nice shout out for Steve! He's my favorite you-tuber but you're rising up the list!
To remove pine sap, use “Orange hand cleaner” mine is in the pump type container.
Apply it with warm-hot water and scruby brush. Rinse and repeat…
Mostly gone on the first scrub and all gone on the second scrub.
Loved how adventurous you are and what a challenge, that rotary has to be one of the most busy and dangerous of all on Cape. Lived her most all my life and I wouldn't have had the guts to try it but thank goodness you made it! 😊
This is awesome! I’ve driven or biked by there many times and each time my goal was to get away from that crazy traffic - I never once imagined camping there! 😂
You are near my neck of the woods and I love that SW inspired you to camp in a rotary! However, that rotary is VERY busy with police always around because of the tourists. I was not surprised to have one come up to you and thought you were going to find a flashlight in your face after dark. :O I was also concerned about you crossing that traffic as a pedestrian!
Helpful hint removing pine sap.... use hand sanitizer. Rub it in and you will be able to lift it off. It's the alcohol in it but the viscosity helps to sit on the sap to soften it. Good luck!
Love your channel!
Thanks Michelle, yeah I'm glad it ended up working out!! I will give hand sanitizer/rubbing alcohol a try, thank you for the tip! 🙏
Just removed pine sap from a camping trip with goo gone. It worked well but I think paint thinner would have also worked. Great video. Thanks.
Reminds me when me and a friend camped in a 10 foot fishing boat that was a decoration in a roundabout in a Swedish equivalent to Cape Cod, Åhus, back in the 90s…
It's a ROTARY. A "roundabout" is a sort of a baby rotary. And that DD, well that was a Howard Johnson restaurant.
Yah dude, that was wicked awesome. Seriously, glad I found you on a local news story. Stay safe!
Hahaha! Good thing it wasn't the night I watched the truck in front of me fly off the bridge and drive straight over and through the rotary, shredding the Cape Cod shrubbery.
Bae, wake up
New Wes just dropped
I had to drop by that state police barracks for directions. They weren't happy to interact, and they didn't want to be bothered. That bridge is a nightmare during peak season, and I have spent hours waiting to cross. It was worth it. Cape cod is beautiful, especially the outer Cape.
I grew up around pine trees and yes sap is always getting on everything. The best thing I have found to remove the sap is called D-Solv-It which is a citrus based solvent cleaner. Just salk the spots in a bit and then scrub it out.
My impression of that rotary has forever been changed. 😅😅
Oh wow ! I live here and i was not expecting to see this video!! I found your channel when you kayaked in Connecticut and camped on the tiny island. Big Camping with Steve vibes and the wife and I love your channel !! Hope you enjoyed the Cape!!
Bloody hilarious. Reminded of one of our many lockdowns here in Melbourne during the Covid Carry-on. I walked to a mates place for a beer one valley over.the police helicopter was up sniffing around for someone. In the dark I bumped into half of my small town, all out doing the same thing. Magnificent. 🇦🇺👍🍺
Many years ago the inmates in New England County Jails were fed Lobster because it was so cheap.
I just got back from going up to the Redwoods and then over to Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen. In the Avenue of the Giants I used to camp on the sly in the South Fork area of Humboldt County. It is private property owned by the big Timber Company. We found several hiding places. I loved doing that. The old NWP railroad ran through there and the track is still there. I am a Rail Fan. There are several tunnels which might be good for Stealth Camping. The train has not run for over 20 years. There are some disused Rolling Stock all along where the railroad went. It was shut down suddenly. There is a lot of railroad cars near Scotia, CA. Some call it the Ghost Train.
Near the north side of Mount Shasta is a Veterans Memorial near Highway 97, north of Weed, CA. I slept in among the displays to honor Americas Veterans.
Further east and south toward Mount Lassen are a few Snow Cabins for Snowmobiles and such. There are fairly abandoned during the summer. I slept by one last night called Deer Mountain to the south of State Highway 97. I really loved the stars.
Some of this is fairly Stealthy and some is just totally legit Dispersed Camping.
Man, 86k views and only 2.9k likes. What's wrong with people nowadays? Is it so difficult to hit that button? Wes is taking you on a camping places you either would never go yourself or could never get. Good job Wes. Pls continue doing it for the minority of us. Stay safe.
Glad you are enjoying the adventures!! I really appreciate your support. I will keep it up and stay safe :)
It’s a lot of work to make a video like this one, and I don’t understand why more people who take the time to watch the video don’t give it a thumbs up. Right now it is over 23K views and only 3.6K likes.
I love Steve Wallis too. Also live about 20 minutes from this rotary. After watching his episode I literally said "Wow, it'd be freakin' crazy if someone camped in the Sandwich Cape Cod rotary!" and here we are! You just got yourself a new follower! Cool shit bro!
That's Bourne dude.
Bourne Rotary
Cape Cod is notorious for ticks. Be careful. Great to hear a shutout for Steve, he's had a tough year.
i'm a cape native and this is the funniest shit i've seen all year
So funny. Eating lobster in a bush, ducking the cops, the shout out to Steve... Subscribed.
Steve W. would have bored the cop to death with tales of a rare owl in the area. Love your content man, keep this great stuff coming. (We all love S.W. right)
Gotta love him, he would have had a more creative story for sure haha. Glad you have been enjoying, Ian :)
Love Steve Wallis. Went looking for more stealth camping because of him and your video did not disappoint!
This is hilarious. I grew up right up the street from there. I used to work at the lighthouse fish market right on the rotary. My dad use to own the funeral home right past the rotary. They’re planning some new bridges so who knows how long they will be there.
alcohol based stuff works good on sap. found that foaming Dawn soap is alcohol based and works better than rubbing alcohol
I've driven past this rotary many times. Would have never guessed to camp there. I honestly don't know how you managed to get away with that with the State Police being there and having to cross basically a highway to get to that spot. Your like Camping with Steve taken next level.
Bright orange sleeping bag and green blinking light on your chest.
Not the best choices for stealth camping, but hey, it worked! 👀😊
Steve Wallis is a stealth camping monster! Good for you for giving him credit for inspiring you
Local Boston news always shows that roundabout during the traffic sections, would be so funny to see you coming out on the traffic camera 😂
Native of Massachusetts here think I passed that cape cod roundabout that same day 😅
This is seriously so exciting I love Steve and to see someone doing something like his rotary video right near my hometown is making me smile. And the fact your channel is gaining some more attention!! AAAA 😁✌🏻
Also want to say, people on the Cape are for so nosy and in others business and a lot of them are older so more likely to call police on someone walking around lmao
I have that rotary as my homescreen on my phone that I took from the Dunkin parking lot with my car in front of it. Now every time I see it I'm reminded somebody camped in there. That is awesome. Good for you man 🎉
Acetone removes sap. I never tried on my clothes, but it won't impact color/dyes. I even use it on my car. It doesn't take the clear coat off.
Hello Wes, you are my absolute favorite youtuber and a huge inspiration for me. In the country I live in (Germany) it is extremely difficult to camp ANYWHERE, but you have given me so many ideas and possibilities. Im only 16 yet, but when i get older, ill camp the world like you do. Cool guy.
Man, I loved this episode of camping with Steve. I'm a Massachusetts native, so seeing you do this at that rotary that I've driven on dozens of times is so cool!
Thats the Bourne Rotary I live on Cape Cod and traffic on that bridge is non stop during summer. The only time your getting in there is under the cover of dark. MA state police have cameras all over that area. They also sit across the street all night watching tags come over.
11:42 sap comes off cars easily with Hand Sanitizer. Could test on a small section of something you dont care to ruin if it doesn’t mix well. Would also suggest rubbing alcohol
man this video had asoo much potential,needs to be waaay longer!!
loved ittho
Try odourless white spirit. Rub it lightly with a cloth but dont scrub it.
This is the first time I've ever watched a stealth camping video and been like, "I know that place!" because I've driven that rotary many, many times.
Pretty epic locations so far. Excited to see the rest of this long road trip
As a Cape local, I was immediately offended when you referred to it as a "roundabout" lmao
What do you call them?
There’s also a small island on arrowhead lake in Georgia vt, easily accessible on your kayak and it’s been a place people have camped on for years!! Great fishing, close enough to amenities and an overall beautiful place to camp!!
CT resident here and Troopers up in Mass are on point, eyes wide open. It’s like night and day when I cross the state border.
The trick is to just walk out onto the roundabout and into the bushes in one "determined" move. When you move with purpose nobody gets suspicious and you would have made it the first shot in daylight. Walking around the thing half the day with all your cameras calls attention to yourself. Also, get a high vis traffic vest. Nobody questions people wearing a vest. Seems counter intuitive but it works.
Hello, I'm your subscriber from Indonesia, I've watched dozens of your videos, good job and thank you
@@sudirman2646 me too
So cool you are enjoying the adventures from Indonesia!! Thanks for watching :) 🇮🇩💙
I live about 5 minutes away from that rotary. I have never seen anyone walking never mind camping in there. That's crazy. Hey where'd you get the lobster? Best place on the Cape is right down the street from there at The Lobster Trap on Shore Road in Bourne.👍
I live on Cape and when my children were little they called that spot “The ABC grass” super cool that you camped there , had a lobster roll and a Dunks all from within 100 yards of each other. Stay safe in your travels my man.
PS as a guy in law enforcement, if you’re trying to stay stealthy, maybe you should get rid of the 6 inch open flame or the blinking red and green lights around your neck?
Smooth, man! My heart would be pounding in my throat. Another banger video 🔥
Rotaries and roundabouts are different things, Cape Cod has both. The rotary is between state highways with no pedestrian access. It is like walking in the center median of a highway and not expecting anyone to think it is strange.
I tend to disagree because the town in live in has several of these, but the one in the center of town receives the most attention in the town FB group and everyone calls them rotaries. I’ve never heard of one referred to as a roundabout here in MA so it must just be a local thing.
@@spencershaw4419they are different things, but Mass has had rotaries for so ling some people can’t make the mental jump.
@@madtho there’s no ‘mental jump’ required. Our lexicons are just different. It’s like how we call water fountains “bubblers,” and liquor stores are “Packies.”
I’ve been going to the cape for over 20 years and every time I hit that rotary I think someone should camp in there. Amazing that I just randomly see this video.
Rubbing alcohol gets rid of sap very well
#ROUNDABOUTARY
#ROTARTRAFFICABOUT hahahaha
I use to live their and I would drive around that rotary all the time, this is such a cool video to watch
fun fact that’s freshly paved
We New Englanders call big traffic circles like this “rotaries” and small circles (like in a residential development) “roundabouts.”
