I am 76 and being wild camping since the late 80s never been compromised nice to see this is still being practice. All the best keep it up. I think it must be harder nowadays but you have the right attitude and technique.
Basically, the harder it is to get to, the better. I tend to seek a high up vantage point within a woodland area with dense shrubbery and nettles. The lack of path and climb is enough to put most people off, the shrubbery and nettles almost guarantees no one will find you.
Brilliant insight in how to choose the best wild camp area. Often see people camp near pathways and moan about people walking past well derr..what do you expect , think , look and find 🌾🍄🌳🦉
Great video very helpful, I've just retired from the Forces after 34 years, I've just turned 52 and need to get out and about, looking at starting to stealth camp, and my Daughter really wants to learn bushcraft and outdoor skills. You got yourself a new Sub, Keep up the great work.
GOOD ON YOU!!!!! That's a sound way of trying before you buy aye. Absolutely awesome 👌🏼 really pleased to hear it. Handy hint... always wear thermals top and bottoms in winter, treat them as a second skin. Glad to hear Cully, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Done a few mid winter camps in the New Forest (Brockenhurst), not too far from a path, but in extremely thick bushes/thicket and surrounding wood with an ideal little circular clearing. Stayed their for 3 days, had a lush fire going for cooking/heat, and got our water from a nearby stream (boiled it, of course!) We checked to see if the fire was visible from the path at night.... Couldn't see a glow! 👍. Like you said, ''use ure noggin'' and you'll be OK! P.S and we didn't leave a trace! Good vid! 👍 All the best!.
Everyday I pick up someone's litter and take it home with me, People today are just so lazy, even in their own backyard. Thanks for the video Happy Hopping! 🙏🌻
I’d be hiding in plain sight 😂 in a urban area, like the teenage rebel in me. They tend to mine their business and leave you too it ❤ people are camping in London in the middle of a roundabout and get no trouble but they are safe and happy for months ❤
Hi, just stumbled across your channel and honestly it's quite refreshing, been out a few times and watching yt videos which are pretty much a p*ssing contest about who's gear is best. Either that or a fashion show, so thanks for some honesty and reality 👍
Really interesting, back in the days when we were able to do this you could still camp where you wandered. People such as yourselves who tread lightly on this earth should still be able to do…this vlog should help! Shame that some leave litter etc and give a bad name 😔. Happy Hoppy to all 3 of you 👍🤝
I have camped in many places during the last forty years ( 63 yrs old at moment ) and the biggest problem was the ground . I have now switched to a hammock and that has opened up many new places because being off the ground lets you camp over damp and/or rough ground .
crawling and pressing through small game trails I have. No cutting or breaking branches or thorns... You have to be in shape, but no people go there... had some run ins with critters, yes. The most fun explorations... even preventing infected scratches! Enjoying these videos!
Where I come from you avoid animal trails like the plague. Animals that make our trails are wolf, cougar, and bear. They like the easy routes too and the bush here is very dense pacific rainforest. I’m trying to find ways to not envy those who as human beings are not lower on the food chain. North Vancouver Island.
@charlesvangorkom3628 yeah, thankfully we don't have that issue here in UK 🇬🇧. Our biggest really to worry about are the deer/stags. But other than that... nothing. We'd certainly live a very different way over there lol. Cheers and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Great stuff! There's a lot of brightly coloured tents out there, or dull ones with reflective tags and glow in the dark guy ropes, a person could almost think there was a secret deal going on behind the scenes or something to preserve the British way of life (house and job only, nature prohibited) 😂
If you can see the path, people can see you. Put some geography between you and never line of sight a house. That said if you are only overnighting you are unlikely to be disturbed if you are discreet, put it back as you found it and leave in the morning.
Indeed, hard with national parks, landowners and such... but not when you've been a tent dwelling Nomad for 10yrs+ lol. It's just about getting those skills under the belt and practice makes perfect... allegedly lol 😆 HAPPY HOPPING Cully 👌🏼 👍🏼

Keep an eye out for our longer video on this and we'll let you into alot more secrets and knowhow. Thanks for your comment, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
Yes indeed. Never really had an issue, but guess we go in alot deeper than I suggested in the video. But cheers for commenting and your support. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
These are good tips, but I've found that you really don't need to try that hard most of the time. Go to pretty much any country side location that isn't in view of a building after dark, and you can pretty much camp where you like. I've slept in a bivvy bag right next to a footpath quite a few times now and never had an issue. I'm normally up at first light.
I just cant get my head around why people think it's OK to leave their trash . People need to do better and teach the next generation to do better too. As always some great advice from you though ❤
@joannemillard5546 cheers Cully, appreciated. It's always a sad site, but sometimes we just can't clear it up there and then... but maybe that's why others do it, because us mugs go and clean it up. Cheers for your comments and continued support. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@lifesahobbyI don't think this is the issue. Firstly, folk go camping to be away from facilities. Campers who leave s**t around are usually people who wanted to get hammered but had no money to go to pub or parents/partners won't let them to do it at home. Illegality only can make people more kin of making it look like no-one is using the place, so they can come back to enjoy it.
@@grimmar80 we don't actually know what happened. or what is usual We were not there. We have insects here that destroy lives . i find their camps often, abandoned, - If we look to areas like the sierra nevada range where they do camp sites. We might agree.

Nah, not had or felt the need yet. But have used them in the past, a long long time ago early 2000s. Hate living in buildings or being around them lol... but bothies have their uses. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
In my experience as a national parks ranger, many campers I met had mental health problems, hence the rubbish. They were trying their best, and were treated accordingly. The rest are, unfortunately, selfish bastards who don't care about the countryside, or anyone else. They were treated differently.
The fundamental principle of camping in woods is not leaving evidence of your having been there..That means no rubbish. On another related note; when you see these 'campers' leaving beer cans in woods, it's always trash beer like Fosters, Stella, Bud, Corona etc.
@@heiltd1286 Yeah it's nearly always cheap stuff. Usually what the alcoholics buy... Same with rubbish generally, it's MacDonalds or cigarette packets. These people do not even care for their own health so how can expect them to care for the place they are. I once came across a car parked late at night in car park for a local beauty spot. Later on I passed by the same spot and saw their takeaways left either side of where the two doors were! Both of them just opened the door and dropped it there! I picked it up and put it in the bin which was not even that far away! Lazy!
Dig a trench 1ft deep 6 foot long and as wide as your shoulders. Lay a tarp in. Put branches across the top Fold the tarp over the top and cover with woodland debris then get in, it will take a dog to find you.
@darwa nope lol, just cheap and cheerful... it miss shapped when put it in a friends washing machine and stretch so much... I use bands to keep it on me head now lmao. Nothing special sadly. Although... now I carry hairbands too lol, so possibly a multi purpose now 😅 HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Heard that with shell fish, rabbits can be a major issue with regards to agriculture.. Australia had a big issue. Not so sure there's such restrictions on rabbit in the UK. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
So next time I'm out for a hike and dive into the trees for a wee, instead of worrying about someone seeing me from the path, I'm going to be double checking your not camping in there
On the one hand I can understand how me having a piece of land and careless s**theads leaving rubbish, poop and burnt ground - would be a problem for me. On the other hand, when one lives in a country where grandchildren of slave traders hog the land they never worked for, they don't even use it, and hence decent folk have either nowhere to go or have to share overpriced sausages fest campsites - I do support breaking the rules. Luckily for me I chose to move to a country that allows me to enjoy nature without restrictions.
@grimmar80 yeah nice one Cully, and how is the mess over there? Is it much an issue? Where are you based? Cheers for your comment and support, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@loghoppers Scotland the magnificent 😜 "Lazy locations" will have messy spots. Anywhere where you have to make an effort to get, is spotless and for last 17 years I've never been questioned once about my campings. During Covid a dog walker whom I spoken a day before brought me a coffee next morning. It turned out he was a land owner - bless him!
@grimmar80 yeah!!!!! Scotland is awesome! What a great landowner, more should be like that... there is alot of the Darwalls out there. Will be coming to Scotland next year for a mooch about again, was there in 2022 and stopped in Nairn where we found d work and a plethora of amazing people also. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@therespectedlex9794 worked for a few people, gardening, painting, renovation, storing another's photos with with Lady Cawdor, dog training too. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
unfortunately, one of the downsides of well camping videos being so popular on RUclips some people watch them think it’s not for them and leave all their shit from other people to pick up and give responsible campers a bad name.
Maybe just too Lazy... or something didn't quite fire in the noggin. It's not right at all. We have noticed that since the right to roam disappeared tho... people are less responsible now than back then in our opinion, of course. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Aircraft fitted with thermal imagery gear locate unauthorized heat locations and GPS coordinates of same is issued for inquiry purposes. In minutes. LOG HOPPERS in this video afforded no clue of such stalk or defense,.
When we're on the run and heat signature are an issue in the UK 🇬🇧 for two Nomads living in the woods... we'll do a video when and if that was to become a reality over here. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@loghoppers Happens near me where my nation borders another. Yesterday a stolen car sped past armed officers but aircraft had it in view. Even after sunset. Could not hide. Caught.
Wild camping in England and Wales, without the express permission of the landowner, is still illegal. But it's one of those laws that's not fully enforced (with enthusiasm) unless someone makes a complaint. The UK police do have helicopters called Squirrels which are fitted with a thermal image camera and a remote nightsun spotlight. These certainly could spot every camper for miles from the air, but unauthorised wild campers are low hanging fruit for this level of law enforcement. It costs north of £3,000 an hour to keep such an aircraft in the air, when they do deploy it without a direct purpose it's mostly used to scan urban areas to look for heat signatures of grow tents to catch people growing jazzy cabbage in their attics. To date I've never heard of it being used to catch campers. Furthermore, travellers (aka gypsies) are considered a protected ethnic minority in the UK now, with all the perks. Travellers indulge in all shades of mobile living as part of their culture, including sometimes camping, so I don't expect that law enforcement will crack down on campers, especially as laws like the vagrancy act of 1824 are extremely selectively enforced, and mostly used to punish those who trespass and take items from skips on company property. So yeah, law enforcement technology is getting very big brother like, but I truly believe campers are in no immediate danger. If it ever becomes a problem - just camp in Scotland, it's perfectly legal there and they have the best views 🤷♂
Why? Why are you doing this? If you have permission to be on people's land you don't need to. If you don't have permission then you are trespassing and deserve to be punished.
You're not trespassing until you've been asked to leave and refused. Trespass itself isn't even a criminal offence, so what punishment do you think will be proscribed exactly? 🤡 This land belonged to all of us before it was enclosed so others could make a profit from it. If you want to continue to lick the boot that's been placed on your neck then please yourself, but the rest of us prefer our freedom. Haddaway back to your Daily Mail.
@occamraiser thanks for your comment. But before nasty comments like this... We're not on private land, it's recreation land and we'd NEVER put ourselves on private unless passing through. Turns out that it's a civil matter unless you refuse to leave private lands and then it becomes criminal. Refusing to leave is something we never practice nor would ever advocate. Don't be a Darwall aye. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
I am 76 and being wild camping since the late 80s never been compromised nice to see this is still being practice. All the best keep it up. I think it must be harder nowadays but you have the right attitude and technique.

Heard that with shell fish, rabbits can be a major issue with regards to agriculture.. Australia had a big issue. Not so sure there's such restrictions on rabbit in the UK. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
That’s exactly when you do hunt rabbits in U.K., in the winter if you have ferrets
So next time I'm out for a hike and dive into the trees for a wee, instead of worrying about someone seeing me from the path, I'm going to be double checking your not camping in there
Lol 😆 some of the things we've seen 🤣 HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@loghoppersoh crickey 😂
On the one hand I can understand how me having a piece of land and careless s**theads leaving rubbish, poop and burnt ground - would be a problem for me. On the other hand, when one lives in a country where grandchildren of slave traders hog the land they never worked for, they don't even use it, and hence decent folk have either nowhere to go or have to share overpriced sausages fest campsites - I do support breaking the rules. Luckily for me I chose to move to a country that allows me to enjoy nature without restrictions.
@grimmar80 yeah nice one Cully, and how is the mess over there? Is it much an issue? Where are you based?
Cheers for your comment and support, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@loghoppers Scotland the magnificent 😜 "Lazy locations" will have messy spots. Anywhere where you have to make an effort to get, is spotless and for last 17 years I've never been questioned once about my campings. During Covid a dog walker whom I spoken a day before brought me a coffee next morning. It turned out he was a land owner - bless him!
@grimmar80 yeah!!!!! Scotland is awesome! What a great landowner, more should be like that... there is alot of the Darwalls out there. Will be coming to Scotland next year for a mooch about again, was there in 2022 and stopped in Nairn where we found d work and a plethora of amazing people also. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@loghoppersWhat work did you find in Nairn?
@therespectedlex9794 worked for a few people, gardening, painting, renovation, storing another's photos with with Lady Cawdor, dog training too. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
unfortunately, one of the downsides of well camping videos being so popular on RUclips some people watch them think it’s not for them and leave all their shit from other people to pick up and give responsible campers a bad name.
Maybe just too Lazy... or something didn't quite fire in the noggin. It's not right at all. We have noticed that since the right to roam disappeared tho... people are less responsible now than back then in our opinion, of course. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Fair points
I call people who leave rubbish Orcs
There is no need of it
The place is sacred other wise why go there
Aircraft fitted with thermal imagery gear locate unauthorized heat locations
and GPS coordinates of same is issued for inquiry purposes. In minutes.
LOG HOPPERS in this video afforded no clue of such stalk or defense,.
When we're on the run and heat signature are an issue in the UK 🇬🇧 for two Nomads living in the woods... we'll do a video when and if that was to become a reality over here. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@loghoppers Happens near me where my nation borders another.
Yesterday a stolen car sped past armed officers but aircraft had it
in view. Even after sunset. Could not hide. Caught.
Wild camping in England and Wales, without the express permission of the landowner, is still illegal. But it's one of those laws that's not fully enforced (with enthusiasm) unless someone makes a complaint. The UK police do have helicopters called Squirrels which are fitted with a thermal image camera and a remote nightsun spotlight. These certainly could spot every camper for miles from the air, but unauthorised wild campers are low hanging fruit for this level of law enforcement. It costs north of £3,000 an hour to keep such an aircraft in the air, when they do deploy it without a direct purpose it's mostly used to scan urban areas to look for heat signatures of grow tents to catch people growing jazzy cabbage in their attics. To date I've never heard of it being used to catch campers. Furthermore, travellers (aka gypsies) are considered a protected ethnic minority in the UK now, with all the perks. Travellers indulge in all shades of mobile living as part of their culture, including sometimes camping, so I don't expect that law enforcement will crack down on campers, especially as laws like the vagrancy act of 1824 are extremely selectively enforced, and mostly used to punish those who trespass and take items from skips on company property. So yeah, law enforcement technology is getting very big brother like, but I truly believe campers are in no immediate danger. If it ever becomes a problem - just camp in Scotland, it's perfectly legal there and they have the best views 🤷♂
Why? Why are you doing this? If you have permission to be on people's land you don't need to. If you don't have permission then you are trespassing and deserve to be punished.
You need punishing for being so dense!
@@mink33 lol
You're not trespassing until you've been asked to leave and refused. Trespass itself isn't even a criminal offence, so what punishment do you think will be proscribed exactly? 🤡
This land belonged to all of us before it was enclosed so others could make a profit from it. If you want to continue to lick the boot that's been placed on your neck then please yourself, but the rest of us prefer our freedom.
Haddaway back to your Daily Mail.
👌🏼👍🏼🤣
@occamraiser thanks for your comment. But before nasty comments like this... We're not on private land, it's recreation land and we'd NEVER put ourselves on private unless passing through. Turns out that it's a civil matter unless you refuse to leave private lands and then it becomes criminal. Refusing to leave is something we never practice nor would ever advocate. Don't be a Darwall aye. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
