    The unintentional humor scale is off the charts, right down to the camera falling over in one of the opening bus shots. 😅

    The burger and the boots. Hilarious!

    Ordering a burger on a stealth mission is ballsy! I was hoping the cop came back around when you were near the dumpster looking homeless. 😂 PS- I hope Santa brings you some new boots.

      I hope I get new boots! I did not hope the cop came back!

    I've had some brand new shoes that came apart like that because they used glue that was water-soluble so it dissolved the first time I wore them in the rain. You could definitely hot glue those back together but it would be better to just get a new pair. I recommend Keens. I'm on my second pair of them and they never gave me a blister even when they were brand new. I've probably already walked 100 miles in those things and I just got them at the beginning of the year. The pair I had before got worn like that too and lasted for nearly 10 years, plus I waded through water in them with no problems.

      Thanks for the input man. Do you think Keens are good for cold weather? I'm done with LL Bean, and need a quasi-winter boot, something for the snow, muck and cold.

    I grew up in NH. Pembroke, it’s great seeing a Stealth camper from there.
    Your accent has me guessing with the granite in your shots then the Beer confirmed it.
    I’m looking forward to more videos man.

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  Год назад

      Right on man thanks! Haha I was recently in Pembroke!
      Thanks for watching, I've been down hard with the man-flu but have more coming soon!

    Intense! Hope you asked for boots this year.

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  Год назад

      Absolutely! Buddy told me about Limmer Boots, out of Intervale NH. You go in, they measure you and 6 weeks later you get a pair. Not cheap, but transferrable lifetime warranty is worth something! Thanks for the input!

  • @whoever6458
    @whoever6458 Год назад +1

    Well, if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend Voodoo Ranger Fruit Force. It's currently my favorite beer.

    • @hoppycamper

      I will look that up, thanks buddy!

    This year shoes did that. I bought them in 2008, and hadn't worn them for 12 years.
    Rubber Sole separation or glue failed
    Nike Air Jordan hiking boot waterproof brown leather.

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  Год назад

      Dude, unsatisfactory! Mine are LL Beans about the same age as yours and were bought under the 'no questions asked' lifetime warranty that is now gone.
      Needless to say, They will be getting a letter, and I plan to document it here! Stay tuned!

  • @calebharmen3914
    @calebharmen3914 Год назад +1

    hey bud another great video.....couple suggestions spend good money on a quality sleeping bag you will not regret it......boots...depending on the age this is a common thing boots sometimes won't look worn out but after so many years the glue dries out and this is the result....keep the videos coming !!!

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  Год назад +2

      Great Intel thanks for the input! Quality totally understood on the boots, was thinking about Limmer. Custom out of Intervale, not cheap but transferrable lifetime warranty! Thanks for tuning in man

    I thought I was going to get murdered by the cops the other day when I was stealth camping. So I was at my fort in the woods during the day and I had a raging fire in my Dakota fire pit when I heard a helicopter coming. I took out my phone to see who was flying and, sure enough, it was the cops and they were coming in hot and low. So I hid up under my tree and just hoped that my fire would continue not producing smoke and that they wouldn't pick it or me up on a thermal camera (also tried to make myself look less human by keeping my hands close to my core and making myself as small as possible so hopefully I'd look like a different kind of animal).
    To my horror, the cop started circling my exact location. After several passes, the cops comes on the loud speaker and says, "Don't grab the rifle." So I'm looking around and wondering which one of the branches I cut looks like a rifle to him but I didn't move and the cop kept circling. Then he said, "Walk towards the train tracks." I considered doing that but I figured that the cops would shoot me if I just emerged from the train tracks and I decided that they'd have to do some actual work and come shoot me where I was if they could actually find me.
    As I waited for what I was sure would be my demise, I noticed that I couldn't hear any of the telltale signs of people approaching my location since there's literally no way to get to where I was without making any sounds. Other people have passed nearby and I've heard them even when they weren't talking and they hadn't seen me. Even small animals make a sound when they move through all the heavy vegetation but I didn't even hear any of them but I thought maybe the chopper was drowning them out but I figured I'd have to hear them once they got close enough but I hear nothing.
    Finally, the cop comes on the loudspeaker again and says to put your hands on your head and walk backwards towards the officers and that's when I knew they weren't after me and that they hadn't seen me at all, despite my raging fire. After they left, I decided to dig my fire pit deeper because the flames from my fire were above the top of my pit and I figured it would be easier to hide them if I could keep them below the level of the ground. I did already have my fire pit covered because it started to rain one time I was down there, plus I wanted to make it more covert from being seen by police helicopters since they fly nearby pretty regularly. In any case, I don't know how they didn't notice that I was there and they must not have noticed because otherwise I definitely would have gotten in trouble since I was most certainly not supposed to even be in that little patch of suburban woods.

    Dude what happened to your foot wear. I'm 62 years old and never seen that. Cop would be like sure buddy your not homeless look at your shoes. Too funny

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  10 месяцев назад +1

      Messed up right? Here I am sleeping in the woods and hanging out around a dumpster behind a restaurant wearing torn shoes and just my socks. Haha I wouldn't have had a chance!
      Thanks for watching man

    • @jeffreyking3807

    why the shyte boots with expensive jacket and gear, but don't have $100 for boots. Hmmm shenanigans are afoot. Next time stealth behind walmart and buy some shoes mate. How much for the burger? $12 and small fry, no drink. I stealth camp too, but I pre-scout multiple sites beforehand. Stay safe and warm mate. Good Luck.

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  Год назад

      Dude, they weren't shyte until I was in the field! They were totally fine before then. And no part of my gear is expensive, haha. I'm rocking hardware store tarps. The vest was a gift a year ago, probably my only brand name item! I left out the three hours' disintegration of the boots so the video wasn't too long. So many people have chimed in that I'm going to have to show the before and during footage!

    What? No closed captioning for your Deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences?

    • @hoppycamper

      I feel like that's in your settings?! Or is there something I can do on my end?

      @christophedmarchal76 Год назад +2

      Heya, look on the bottom right of the play-head/timeline, next to the Settings button, click the white CC button. That will enable the Closed Captioning for any video.

    • @hoppycamper

      Done!
