Stealth Camping Behind Billboard

  • Things finally fell into place and I found my dream stealth camping billboard. I've been searching for years and finally found the perfect one to camp behind. I made it back from the ill-fated trip to the coast, I only got half way there before the floods washed out all the highways connecting the interior to the coast. I will have to make another camping trip as soon as things are back to normal and roads are reopened.

    I love how paranoid Steve gets. Think about it. To get rumbled a motorist driving at probably 70mph about 100 metres away would have to spot a green hammock under a green tarp behind a camo net in dense forest through a 1 metre gap. All while driving looking at the road in front of them not looking for anything by the sign.
    After all that they would then have to decide to stop and do something about it.
    You're fine Steve!

Which also is hard to make enough money for school when people assume deaf people can't work as good as others.

    I'm a drifter. About 4 years ago, I was in Idaho Falls, ID (beautiful town). It was early March, so the nights were still fairly cold. I was there a little over two weeks.
    The entire time, I camped under a large evergreen (spruce, I think... ?), the branches went all the way to the ground. But, just beyond the outer branches, closer to the trunk, it was fairly open and spacious. I spent about 30 minutes chopping down dead branches from the interior, and clearing out debris, both of which I used to camouflage myself. I was about 20 feet from a busy downtown road.
    This video reminded me if that experience. I had a little concealed fire in a coffee can, a tarp to keep the drizzling rain, falling leaves and bird poo off me... lol. There was a train track behind me, and must have been a yard nearby. Each morning the same guy would walk the track, and we'd talk for a few minutes. Share stories about life on the road.
    It was a great time. Good memory. Thanks for reminding me.

    Steve, this video is shows you are a genuinely good person. Donating the proceeds when you can use the money is selfless and just exemplifies how nice of a person you are. I’ll keep watching as long as you make the videos.

    I did this some years ago on the University grounds in Vancouver... camped right behind the "No Camping" sign. Never got bothered...

    I found the 'camping with steve' map marker on Google Maps within seconds of zooming in on Hinton. That is just too funny.

    Steve, I appreciate that you wish to help others reach step one. Helping others get to step two means we can enjoy it that much more.

    Steve - you break my heart man! You're a great dude! I'm homeless, sleeping in my car in CT, I've gotten out of my situation in the past, but as I'm older, I find it more and more difficult to get back in touch with society (losing faith) but watching you, ask your followers to defer donating to you, has immediately brought me back into realizing that there has to be other real, caring, good hearted people like yourself that REALLY DO care, and are not just saying it to impress on social media just! I was beginning to dislike my fellow human because, of how I'm treated just asking for a 10¢, not even a quarter, like how dare I ask for a handout. I hate that I have to, but nobody will hire me, when I have one set of clothes, can't shower, and just use my car as shelter. It doesn't start, because I don't have gas. But enough about me! I just want you to know Steve, that you saved me from giving up, you showed me, that if I continue to try, there's still people like yourself out there to enjoy the rest of my life with. Thank Steve!!! I don't know you but, just also want to say I send you all my respect and love, man! YOU are a tremendous individual!

      I'm in a similar situation or was until a month ago. My elderly parents asked me to come stay with them and help them but I was staying in a tent in a stealthy spot on some public land. In my town there are a few free pantries so I never worried about food but it can get kinda depressing sometimes nonetheless. Hang in there, brother. I'll be praying for you.

      What part of CT are you in? I'm originally from New Haven. Now I'm in upstate NY. I'm hoping to figure out some way to help. If you PM me with any information so I can send you a package I can at least send you some clothes. Maybe I can figure out something to improve your situation.
