Stealth camping without permission is a thorny subject! My views on land ownership may be a little skewed towards the left. In the beginning, right at year dot there was no ownership of land. The very concept didn't exist. Humans and other animals were free to roam at will. By our nature we are territorial and formed tribes and clans to protect ourselves and preserve the resources for tribe members. An interloper perhaps would have been dealt with harshly? Thus the fall of man began. Later in England a parliamentary law was passed called "The Inclosure act" This law was abused by rich and powerful land owners in the C1700 and much of the land was taken into private ownership and the ordinary folk could no longer gain access. Today virtually all the land is owned by someone and in England wild camping is illegal although is widely practiced. The unwritten wild camping law is "Pitch camp late, strike camp early and leave no trace. If you can gain permission and find the land owner then do so. There are some places I simply would not camp. For example sites of special scientific interest. Special reserves for endangered wildlife and game preserves especially when the birds are there. Unfortunately it is my opinion that we will always have the simpletons, the IQ zero's who will leave a mess and spoil it for the majority so sadly although I wild camp and break the law, I am also in favour of the law staying as it is to deter wild camping. I fear otherwise our beautiful country could become a righty mess. To those of us that continue to be law breakers like me then I will always leave my camp site better than when I found it:)Music all sourced from the RU-vid creator studio (no attribution required) and used in the following order :
