In this video, I spend the night stealth car camping in my Land Rover whilst travelling across the country to meet up with Kent Survival. Once dark, I set up my home for the night, drawing the curtains and making myself comfortable before tucking into some dinner and enjoying the evening. A comfortable nights sleep and I’m refreshed and ready to continue with my journey.
I converted my Land Rover into an off-road, off-grid overlanding camper. It has a basic, but functional kitchen for cooking, a comfortable hammock bed, swivel seating, heating and lighting - everything I need to spend the night comfortably.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Very nice simple set up there Simon. My grandparents converted an H plate 1970 long wheel base 2 birth Landy with a capstan winch in which they toured around in. Shipped it to South Africa and America, drove to Morocco and North Capp. Loved it as a kid, was fascinated by the levers and loved the blue diesel light! They were living the van life in the 70’s😂

I can just see you inadvertently having “stealth camped” in the local dogging hotspot and it turning into an amateur filmmakers symposium… the curtains on the Defender must have done some twitching!!! 😂 Ecstatic screams of “Oh Boi” filled the night sky as Simon kindly whipped out the hot chocolate… 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Simon, were the doors you fitted new items or second hand? I've recently bought a 1988 110 with a 300Tdi. It had been parked up in a barn for 8 years but I'm well on the way to getting it on the road, it' be my daily drive and work vehicle. I sold my previous Landy (90) last year. One thing I've found is that all the doors are heavily corroded and I'm in two minds whether to replace or repair them. I'm hoping to convert the inside in a similar fashion to yours as it seems so practical. Thanks Dave

Whilst I enjoy you're videos I do have an issue with costly ones and by that I'm talking of the cost. Why you might ask, in the simplist explanation, the cost of living/current circumstances which many have been hit by during/following Covid. Perhaps a more financially vuable consideration view of your content for those of us who have no option but to budget just to experience some of you're own journeys. Also, could you maybe collaborate with land zones the places that many viewers can stayover on camping.

It's glamping entertainment not real life. Not many outdoorsy folk take Baker Tents and cast iron Dutch ovens into the wild or strain clarified butter through muslin to make Naans! If you want everyday wild camping and bushcraft just do it yourself or watch the channels that cater for the lightweight activists.

Hi Simon. Just catching up with your videos and can't believe you're stealth car camping next to the old mill. That's literally down the road from me. And I believe that I passed you parked there because I mentioned to my mate about the Land rover and said 'I bet someone's stealth sleeping in That' .... Well I guess I was right.

I live in Manitoba, where we get around a month of -35°C weather, and -20 the rest of winter. If your car leaves the road, it can get buried in a ditch or behind snowbanks and be invisible to passing traffic. Happened to a woman here who broke both arms in the crash and lost both feet to frostbite. So, it’s good to have a good winter sleeping bag, extra mitts and toque and a big candle in a can. Mohair socks are 2 times warmer than wool (from my own experience working outdoors), and natural fur is best for insulation (beaver, muskrat, rabbit, deerskin). For rations, I’ve heard of a guy who keeps a can of dog food in his truck. He’ll only eat it if he’s truly hungry.

Btw, I followed your instructions on putting in a front passenger seat swivel plate, works like a dream!

I’m just trying to work out the anchor points of your hammock and whether they will sustain the weight of someone twice of yourself. I don’t own a Land Rover I never have done but I definitely intend to buy one very soon. Being a panel beater and an MOT tester I have certainly worked enough. Mainly chassis / body swaps, welding and the like. Slowly losing my mobility and desperate to find an adventure. Of course the old Land Rover is all a dream car. I would take it over any supercar any day of the week. But I had never thought about having a hammock so very interested in learning more about this.

I used to do that a very long time ago now, only with a Series III, the last proper Land Rover :) Actually today I bought a plywood board to make my jeep a bit more usable for the odd night away as really it is too small for any kind of a proper conversion. In these latter days I think such features as a "kitchen" are overkill if you are used to roughing it in the woods with a trangia, or whatever.

I do miss the ease of jumping in the back of my 110 to get my head down, but I don't miss driving the Deafender any other time

Essential question, Simon ... What toilet arrangements (if any) do you have on board?

Should have done a bit of fishing while you were there. Standing on the river bank with a fishing rod would have been a suggestive explanation why the RR was by the river side. Bonus points for catching your dinner!

Ive owned several Chevrolet blazers , a few jeeps , but none had enough room to stretch out in , I'm getting to dread hooking up to a camp trailer . Thinking about a 4x4 suburban or something big enough to sleep in . Put fishing tackle in and maybe a single shot, shotgun. Keep it ready to go at all times

Looks like the minivan next to you did the same thing lol. Or maybe it was Patrick Dickensons van and he went out on a stealth camp 😂

I know it isn't the point of your channel, but as someone from a country where we drive on the other side of the car and road, I LOVE watching your timelapses from the front seat when you drive. Thank you for the experience, and happy October, Simon!! Sending love to you, Tom, Maggie, and Mrs. A Bloke In The Woods!

Ugh! I hate alarm clocks. It's a shame car camping is illegal in most places. I think everyone should car camp at least once. Makes you appreciate ur home.
