    This was one for the ages! I finally got out to go camping behind a sign. It took quite a while to find the perfect sign, but it was worth it! There was no view from the highway eastbound lanes and very minimal exposure on the westbound lanes. Basic backpack and general gear. I had a hammock, to use as a bivvy in case of rain, but the weather was pretty good.
    Hunkered down and had a blast!

      Whether something like this is risky or not, the thought of the danger makes it feel 100x more satisfying. Went to an old military base a while back with some friends, and the entire time we were jumping into bushes hiding from coming cars, and climbing around big rocks to remain stealthy, but a few days later we discovered it was a public area and we can be there. But the thrill of that first visit made it the most memorable. ..And the most bloody. xD

    Too funny Steve. I used to be in Law Enforcement for years and we used to remove the local drunks from behind the sign that welcomed you to Grande Prairie. The only reason they got discovered was that they showed their presence to the girls that cut the grass for the city and then they would call it in as a complaint. We used to tell them how to behave more stealthily next time. We’d have them move on and they we’d tell them that we would be busy for the rest of the shift so they can sneak back in.😃👍 That’s life.

    It's funny how years after being homeless I still see places like this sign and think "that would be a good spot." Lol

      I'm not homeless...but since the pandemic...i pass these places and think to myself...i could totally sleep there safely for one night. Now, to remember these places...if I do ever need them.

      I've never been homeless and have always thought about places I see as potential sleeping spots.

      You never lose the eye for a good spot. 😢

      If this was in California there would be about fifty cardboard boxes and piles of garbage everywhere.

      I tend to wildcamp a lot in Europe on motorcycle trips and most people seem to not care all that much about someone hunkering down for a night. The problem is when someone does actually call authorities and those show up, fines for wild camping tend to be in the €200-300 range; however more often than not you just get off with a warning.
      The worst places to camp here are forests, foresters (especially if state owned) will fine you hard.
      Belgium and the Netherlands also closed the last remaining legal "wild" camping spots this year which is very sad.

      Autonomity it’s sad because land supposed to belong to no one... but I understand why they are so strict. People would literally live in the woods 😂

      @@Mazxlol The main problem is trash/people messing too much with nature. Homeless encampments still exist (I ended up in one in Germany and another one in France, and got out fast because it was sketchy; especially the French one because it also had needles all over the place), sometimes a forest looks more cozy than it actually turns out to be..

    You're the only guy I know who gets a hotel room so he could sleep outside behind a sign. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give that a thumbs up with a letter grade of 5 stars.
