The Title Is Very Accurate! I was Stealth Camping by Railroad Tracks, and was busted by the police. Buy Me A Coffee - www.paypal.com... Merchandise - thenorthwestwi... Instagram - / thenorthwestwind Email - TheNorthWestWinds@gmail.com
I'm glad you still posted this. It's actually something that's more rare to see, at least for me. It's easy to get busted these days with the cameras and the connectivity. It turned out to be a good video if nothing else.
Yeah, I just tried to keep it real and post my adventures, good or bad. It seems that you are in the majority that people do like seeing them even if they go south. Much love for the kind words and I appreciate you being here! Much love, my friend.
Here for the sausage and peppers ,A good tip is that get someone to drop you off that way a truck or a car won’t just be sitting there giving you away, plus it be more stealthier that way
I believe that everyone should avoid railroad property - but we all have trespassed at one time in our lives or another, for one reason or another. Always be respectful, and most of the time you will be fine. Much love my friend!
I turned around in a circle, and there was snow over most of the lot, including a section of grass that I ended up driving through, unfortunately. I didnt tear anything up, thankfully - but did leave tire marks in the grass. I did feel bad.
Great video as always! No need to apologize to us. I’m sure you were shaken up, but I appreciate you still sharing your videos of your experience. At least you got to have dinner and see a train, and you get to rest well in your warm bed! Dinner looked amazing, a grilled cheese and soup will hit the spot every time. Shout out to Jess!
I think you keep getting busted because you're parking where you shouldn't be, or where people wouldn't normally park overnight. If you're going to park on a private lot of a business, go in and speak with the manager/owner and make up some story about your vehicle having issues, and ask if it's okay to park it there overnight. Or park on public street where other cars are parked, or have someone drop you off so your vehicle isn't lingering around to draw suspicion.
I don't consider it a fail, it was a master class in "on your feet thinking". You could have fared a lot worse had you not been so quick on your feet. Well played.
Man ya gotta work on the 'stealth' part. Also there's a reason people like Steve Wallace get dropped off lol. I tend to have to walk or get rides everywhere myself.
@@TheNorthwestWind yeah that sucks lol. Redemption gear retrieval stream? Lol. Having a camera usually gives me an added sense of security/purpose as well. Better luck next time friend ☕🎩
It feels like other stealth camping channels who NEVER EVER get caught, either have the consent to camp / trespass, but make it seem like they are sneaking around or they are just part of an ‘organisation’ that through a network of “special friends” turns a blind eye to their actions, if you catch my drift. In the UK surveillance is literally at 99% saturation, like CCTV is simply everywhere, maybe with the exception of a few private areas. An event in London at a private park a CCTV company was hired by the event organisers to ‘record for people’s safety’. I can’t remember the channel name, there are loads of ‘auditing videos’ on this subject. Check out “Auditing Britain” you might find it insightful for the current state of paranoia here. Great video 😉
Industrial parks are no longer stealthy. It will continue to get harder to find stealthy spots as tech & awareness increase. Thanks for the educational experience.
I don’t disagree with you. There had been a lot of theft at this location according to the officer and the building owner and once I realized it was some sort of metal fabrication place. It’s not hard to understand why. Really sucks that this is what society has come to.
I decided when I first started these that no matter the situation, I would remain calm, respectful, and as polite as possible. It’s the best way to be in all situations, regardless of if I’m being an idiot, or just going about my business. Good advice though, much love.
When I read the title I was thinking no way you really got caught again! 😂😂😂 Keep it going, content is genuine and entertaining! PS probably need to work on the STEALTH part 🤫🤫
Great video as always!! No sorry necessary for getting busted! You have to put yourself out there to make this content and I for one appreciate it. Keep living the dream!
no one shoots the clips of them coming back to their camera. sometimes I pretend they just leave it there for some other person to find/// accoutrement. only Kevin would call a the brightest construction lime green bag a stealth color. Sorry Counter with police: 11.. I do appreciate how respectful you were with the police, you handled it better 90 percent of people. I would have said I had a time lapse going on my go pro and took a nap on my hammock and did not realize it was public property.. Steve usually gets dropped off in his vids, or walks pretty far, keep that in mind. all love brother and I appreciate you keeping it honest with your fan base good or bad. happy holidays my friend! let us know if you got your stuff back!
luv this video get to see the real deal what you encounter while stealth camping between rail and industrial property, brings back my fun memories of trespassing to cross rail lines when I was growing up
bahaha dude! this week you did not disappoint, caught or not you know what you’re doing to keep us entertained. keep doing your thing, I’ll keep on watching 👊👍
Dude, you always seem to do the tought trek! All that brush is a pain. Been there, done that! That was such a rediculious reason for you to have to leave.
I mean, I was on private property, so I definitely understand but just an oversight on my part as far as the parking job. They were nice about it which was good, could have went way worse.
lol going back for the camera. You really showed us how the sausage is made right there. I always hate the driving off into the sunset shots like they ain't going back for it lol.
Awe, man, so sorry that happened. That was a sweet spot, too. So it was the industrial park that called the police and not the railroad? Kudos for the effort! Great video!
I love your videos bro! Ive been a follower of Steve's for a few years now and even he's had a few close calls so don't stress that. Maybe you should restructure and purposefully make your channel like these where you ALMOST successfully stealth camp. Im sure it's stressful but i think it's very entertaining. Keep it up man. We all love what you do.
Lol. I’m so glad to have you here and I really appreciate your kindness and support my friend. It really does mean a lot to me. I almost successfully stealth time or I just barely make it through. Lol. Getting better each week though. Trying my best lol. Glad to have you here, much love to you.
You handled it well. It's OK. I try to figure out how to make it fit. I'll park where anyone might park. Then when I am separated from the car and the "City" I can just roll into the background.
Stumbled on to your channel randomly tonight. Watched a few videos... Thoroughly entertaining😂 nothing stealthy about it. This is my third video I've watched....i gotta say, this is the one that made go straight for the sausages and the peppas. Couldn't resist em... Keep em coming man!
Glad to have you, my friend, I hope you will consider sticking around. Nothing but love to you. Sausage and peppers is the best food you can ever possibly eat and I recommend you do so three times a day.
They ran my plate and my phone number is associated with it. Here in ohio you can do it all online. I have a profile for my vehicles, boat, boat trailer, drivers license, etc…….. it makes life very easy versus waiting at the bmv
still a great video even though it ddnt go as planned! Your stealth videos are the only stealth camping videos that I dont just skip through, they're very entertaining. It wasn't your fault that you got busted, how were you even supposed to know not to park there! better luck next time!
I pay $10/ night at U S ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS PARKS. With all the amenities, water, electricity, showers , bathrooms, fire pits and grills most important ABSOLUTELY NO HARRASMENT, TICKETS OR FINES. I just don't get the idea of " stealth camping " or even the allure of it ? All I can think is some sort of cheap thrill of getting something for nothing or " sticking it to the man " 😂 😂
@TheNorthwestWind I would have done the same thing honestly. Not knocking you at all. Your response was justified. Police put people in jail, and with your train hopping experience, and having a beautiful wife and a good job, you had every reason to be nervous and nice to the cops. I am the same way honestly and have to stop myself because it does make it sound like you're just sorry you got caught vs sorry you didn't realize you couldn't park there. But, here, there wasn't much to be suspicious of by you saying sorry, as he just wanted your car out of that lot. Love your channel! Not trying to be mean at all. I wish nothing but the best for you. Keep up the good work and keep pumping them videos out! Congrats on 10k and 11k and soon to be 15k!
Totally agree. I would rather kill them with kindness and look “weak “to people on RU-vid lol then be a dickhead and have it go the other way not that I would be mean anyway love to you, my friend. I really appreciate your support and kind words.
Hi Sam - If it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. You parked a mile away. Under normal circumstances that would be plenty far. But as you found out it happened to be on private property, and the guy had cameras. You should try to get your gear out of there ASAP, because they might be able to follow your footprints in the snow? Thanks for the video.
I retrieved the gear this morning. I’m actually editing the retrieval video as we speak. Should be live in a couple of hours. But you are correct. I was 100% confident that I took every measure, and this was definitely my most stealthy set up yet. Lol. Another learning lesson. Much love for watching, and for the kind words.
Wow can’t watch u anymore bro , u were scared to death . What do u expect u knew u weren’t allowed to be back there , I’m sticking with Steve’s videos , good luck
It was sketchy going back, I put a video on the channel of grabbing my gear - luckily I was able to park on a public street and stuck to the tracks back to my spot!
After the Golf course & now this my guess is what I'm about to say has probably already sunken in, but as the CSO for a business with almost 100 factories as well as a few golf courses etc. I can PROMISE we are intimately familiar with the traffic flow on our properties. Any guard on cameras worth their salt will easily spot you. Full stop, DON"T park on private property. 🤣🤣🤣. Liked & subbed...Look forward to the next video!
You played it well once you knew you were caught. Did everything right from that point on. Said all the right things in your epilogue as well. Very curious to know if you went back to get your stuff and how that turned out. I'd recommend leaving it for at least a couple days and then park in a different spot and go back at night. Going back the next day in broad daylight is dumb. The owner is going to be in there telling everyone the story. They'll recognize your truck immediately. Either wait a couple days or just write that stuff off and call it a penance. It's funny, when it started I could just tell that you were a tad cocky and were going to get caught. Whatever, I liked the video and subscribed. Looking forward to the story about you retrieving your gear and more content. Cheers! Oh yeah, forgot my main point: NO MORE STEALTH CAMPING! Just don't do it! It's not worth getting arrested, tossed in jail and possibly ending up with a criminal record. You don't need to come this realization in cuffs in the back of a cop car. Not worth it at all.
Hello Sam, if you don’t end up filming the retrieval of your stuff I don’t mind, but let us know if the retrieval is successful at least. I was really excited to see you got that Winteral Bivy as well. I was going to get that exact same one but I’m a little too tall for it. I don’t know how tall you are but I recommend you set it up somewhere and make sure you fit in it well. Love the video even though you had to bail!
Not "right at the tracks", and didnt tear up anything. Embellishing is not your strong suit. I drove through some snow in like 2 feet of grass thinking it was still gravel
Another great video. You live and you learn. The car snitched on you again. If you get dropped off this will eliminate an opportunity for a quick get away. But if you bring your car it will give you away. It's really a tough call. Good luck getting your stuff tomorrow. maybe disguise yourself as police officer chris and walk in (just kidding).
Getting busted is never fun. I have been been busted once and it is not fun. It does make for good content. An apology is not needed. At least you didn't go to jail, either. Stay safe. ✌
It was all the thrill of the hunt.As with all stealthily your putting yourself out there simply to see if you can.Part 2 ( the retrieval) of the goods would be great😮
