  • This Stealth Camp Solo Adventure begins with Luke the Lone Wolf being dropped off at a park on the outskirts of a city. From there he connects, travels, and crosses multiple trails, roads and fields as he remains hidden...
    Hiding in Plain Sight!
    Rain is on the way and his goal is to get in and out before it hits....but things don't go according to plan....

    I've stealth camped in England when I was homeless. I could probably run an army training course. Nothing beats experience and it becomes a state of mind, almost addictive. You almost breath invisible after a time. The birds are your early warning system too. You become one with the environment, almost soaking into it. Patience as well, always patience.

      Don't people usually breath invisible? Unless it's cold enough, your breath shouldn't show XD. Also The birds really do work well as an alarm. I tend to wake up once the birdsong starts.

      I've stealth camped when homeless too, don't see the addictiveness of it though. Got very good but I still remember the terror when I had to dry out my tent and probably retiree day hikers came across the side path where I had hung my tent up at. Had no other option, I mean, couldn't pack it back up soaked. But it was early dawn, 6 or 7 AM - I didn't expect anyone much less 4 startled older folks. More power to you but idk if I could do it again. Proud that I did when I needed to, but if those day hikers had gone back to their car and reported me to the cops, I might not be in the much better place I am now. Idk.

    Thanks for all your great videos Luke!
    Those small military GoreTex types of bivy-shelters are not made for civilian camping, stealth or not.
    Their purpose is for a soldier to quickly roll out, get a little sleep, pack up and move out again.
    It's low profile, and matte fabric makes it well concealed in most terrains, even without a camo-net.
    The fabric is thick enough that you can use a flashlight inside without being compromised.
    They are resistant to hard field use, fire sparks, and chemicals where a civilian tent would break, tear, or melt.
    In this type of shelter you are supposed to just get some quick rest. Nothing else. The soldiers leave most of their
    gear outside under their rain jacket or poncho. Sleeping with their clothes on, with weapon, and boots beside them.
    If you want to stealth camp in comfort I recommend a civilian olive green dome tent combined with a hunters camo-net.
    Although with a larger profile, the rounded dome shape blends well into the terrain for sufficient concealment.
    Then you have both comfort, and stealth.
    Do you know what piece of gear is the most compromising in this video?
    It's your shiny ground-sheet that will reflect the moonshine from miles away.
    The bright Hi-Vis lines are actually a good stealth choice as they are not visible from a distance, and your loud swearing
    as you trip over dark lines at night creates a much higher risk of being compromised :)
    Best regards from The Swedish Army!

As well as keeping the rucksack drier, if it rains, it also allows me to drop the rucksack and camouflage it if I don't fancy carrying it while I scout out an area, or gather resources. Keep on camping and posting.

    Your choice of music made me think of Gordon Ramsay. I love your stealth camp trips, definitely my favorite. I was motivated by your videos to set out and try it myself. I had nothing. But over time i got the gear, a usgi bivy I bug proofed. Scouted a local city owned lake. Hiked it out and was ready to give it a try. In the meantime my Wife’s health declined and now needs constant attention. So I gave up on the stealth trip, got to stay close to her. I guess that’s the Honor in Strength and Honor. We’ve been married 43 years and she’s worth more than stealth camp to me. But! As I watched this video I noticed my neighbors back yard, hum do I dare?

    Here in the UK most wild camping in lowland areas has to be done quite stealthily. I sometimes even take a small camouflage net. I sometimes make a small fire but am very careful about where and when...woodland and forests and only when it's not too dry. Arrive late and leave early and you can camp almost anywhere.

      @@hasonpoy My love of camouflage and concealment meant that I became interested in applying to the SASR regiment, however, I found much better paid opportunities in the civilian world, and I was becoming very tired of the 'bro culture' in the Army, and I was acutely aware of how much worse it is in the SASR, which was pretty much confirmed when the investigations into SASR war crimes became public. Many of them are like 'blue blood' cops, and will protect their own, even when their own are committing heinous crimes against the Geneva Convention. As a full-blown fan of following the rules, I knew the service wasn't for me, however, I'll never forget the physical and mental lessons I learnt in the Army..

      Sure, if it mattered not being seen, I'd go somewhere else and not use that cordage. However it's not the glow-in-the-dark that's the problem but the colour in daytime and the location.
      Having said that, the tent will be visible in that location long before he cordage. Once anyone is close enough to see the glow, even if very dark, they'll be hearing your breath or wind or rain hitting the tent.
