Probably my stealthiest camp yet! I made a low-lying shelter with a small tarp and trekking poles and disguised it with camo netting and leaves. When it was finished, I could barely see it.. perfect to hide me from the country road that I was camping close to

@@jwall3873 That's so very typical American. I do own land, and never had an issue with people on it. We have a cabin and land right next to a popular hiking trail, and people sometimes camp there. They stay one night, politely ask to use our outdoor composting toilet and well for drinking water and cooking. Then they clean up after themselves and move on the next day. I don't see the issue. Maybe people where you live are not that considerate. The neighbor own hundreds of acres of forest, but she's very old and don't get around much. We pick cloudberries, blueberries and lingonberries, and go on her land sometimes to watch beaver, foxes, owls, hawks and eagles in their natural habitat. You get so much more than you give.

As a soldier in the 1980s we were taught how to make a two man shelter from two waterproof ponchos and a couple of stickz. The end product looked very similar to your creation but instead of using a pole to raise the roof we dug down. The soil was placed around the edge of the upper poncho to lose the edge and to ensure that no water got in. It always did though.

@kevinmoore2929 8 месяцев назад

Same training here(90s). I was SO happy to see a stealth camper finally utilizing camo netting, even though it didn't completely conceal her. For real "super stealth" camping, ditch the lantern and only utilize a headlamp with a red light setting. Gather some sticks or branches to help camouflage the opening where your gear was or get another section of camo net and cover both openings. Consider replacing your top tarp with an 8'x8' one to provide you protection from unexpected rain/snow.

Many decades ago, I was a reservist in the Canadian Army. Our ponchos had snaps on them so we could join two of them together and suspend them using a thin rope or paracord and turn them into shelter halves. Then we would attach guy lines to each corner of the joined shelter halves and secure them with tent pegs that we'd been issued.

@thefeastingman5634 Год назад

On screen it looks pretty invisible. The downside with tarp off the ground is that it makes straight-line shadows. So if you really want to be invisible during the daylight you also have to have the opening of your tarp touch the ground. The disadvantage to camping in a lower point is that you turn your camp spot into a bathing spot when it rains.

@Skiamakhos 9 месяцев назад

Yes, was just thinking some kind of camping cot bed for the if it rains scenario, second camo net to go over the entrance. It'd raise the whole thing a little but if the tarps & camo nets are big enough to smooth out the silhouette it should be good.

@mercedesvalente8154 9 месяцев назад

If you are scared to be seen by daylight because of the harsh and therefore unnatural shapes you can smooth the edges out by using the leaves off the ground and some mud to create the illusion of a whole in the ground as well as a pile of leaves…

@youtubemakesmedothis7280 10 месяцев назад

The camo was marvelous. Divot = puddle if it rains; I tend to camp on a rise for better drainage because sure as hell, it IS gonna rain on me. People driving seldom look to the side and wouldn't notice you in a tent. You'd be well enough hidden in that wooded area. I also envy the absence of insects. Nothing buzzing in your face or getting in your food or eating you during the night.

@PlatinumDragonProductions999 Год назад

Hi ,new subscriber here Love the camo net . Look into the buffalo systems sleeping bags... ( made in Sheffield) Low bulk ,WARM WHEN WET OR DRY .. can be stored forever fully compressed . Pertex outer skin , works either any bivvy bag ,best purchase I've ever made ... out performs any other sleep system anywhere ... full system rated to minus 100 c Fully modular for all season adjustability . From Brazil to Antarctica. WORKS WHEN WET no down bag can match this performance. Even out performs wiggys bags from Canada. Great video.

As an Infantry Marine this looks great. You chose to emplace your hide in defilade and lucked out with your cami-netting matching the leaves. If you plan on doing this again I recommend you gut some brown paracord and make tie-ins randomly on your netting so you can add natural veg from your surroundings to the top of it to conceal yourself more.

Nice job on the fun camo camp setup Claire! I love camo netting, its great for a base layer of concealment. In basic training we learned to hide ourselves and our Army vehicles with it. Weave a handfull of grass or branches into it hear and there to break up any straight line silhouettes. Especially horizontal lines, which are the most out of place lines in nature. Thats how our eyes are drawn to a deers back or a cabin roofline in the distance. Nice getaway, thanks for sharing!

At some point I noticed approaching car, but wasn't sure on which road because there were passing cars in the distance and intensified headlights seen in NVG even from behind of the trees tend to flood the horizon like it was scene from nuclear armageddon movie or something, and the car was around the corner. I decided to hide in the bushes next to the road to see what happens. With NVG I was the one who decided about encounters ;) They zoomed pass me with a non-trivial speed!

Suddenly there was an otter fifty feet away at the waters edge , grooming itself in the sun ! As soon as it clocked us watching the gorgeous slinky beastie slipped back into the water . It was a magical moment for sure . I have seen deer a few times ; once I saw many large deer three miles west of Bristol airport running and jumping the hedges , I was on the high ridge above them .

You’d love camping in my country Australia,it’s pretty wild. It’s cool how you can camp on the ground without the worry of Bull ants,jumping jacks also a nasty biting ant,scorpions,massive spiders that cause possible death,deadly snakes,ticks,leaches,wild dogs,wild pigs,bushfires and floods. The mosquitoes are insane among other flying stinging insects like European wasps that grow very large. I really love your videos very entertaining thank you.❤ Your attitude towards life is very refreshing and extremely positive and certainly makes you want to go camping.

Ive done this probably 30-50 nights over the years, this setup is a bit lower than I would go for condensation reasons, but bivy+tarp+camo netting is a combo that works if you are comfortable with the 'exposed' feeling of tarp camping and you select sites appropriately for rain.

@Gollybone 4 месяца назад

Amen. As a resident of hectic lifestyle in the heart of an overflowing town, I crave getting out into the stillness of nature with only the bare essentials. Trekked 50 miles alone along a river in late autumn of 2020, sick of being inside, passed through rural towns and villages, saw plenty of wildlife I'd only seen in cartoons, and slept in nature's bliss, all in a snow-skirted 3-man, layered in thermals whilst my toes went numb in my "four season" sleeping bag. It was a challenging time, the circumstances that brought me outside were dire, but the thrill and accomplishment of the adventure made every day an outstanding experience. I'm proud of those moments, surviving in nature, it felt like something I needed more of. I hope I can do it again soon.

@1155727 Год назад

@@jay70328 - I'd be more concerned about MTB riders like myself going for a night right, and riding off trail deliberately, as you sometimes do. I do have great headlights, but this camo is so good I would ride right over it! If you don't believe these things happen... someone I know was going for a night MTB ride in the local forest. He had no working lights. But smart as he was, he thought, first, there won't be that many people riding in the middle of the night, and second, even if they were, what were the chances that the other riders wouldn't have lights?! Turns out, stupid as he was he did not see the obvious - if he could think along his twisted lines of reasoning, surely there was a possibility that there could be further local idiots thinking exactly the same. And sure enough, he found one of these other idiots at a trail intersection - by crashing into him at a decent clip. They both looked so much worse for wear after that incident. He was off work for a while... Moral of this story? Never underestimate the stupidity of other people. If you think you are stupid, and nobody else is you are wrong. If you think your are smart chances are you are not really as smart as you think, and there will be more of the same kind around.

Excellent set up. The dead leaves and debris you added is always a plus. netting alone is not enough. This is a very good example of a stealth set up.

@92844m Год назад

Great videos. I use the same netting but also with green on the opposing side. I've attached 4mm olive rope of a few inches to each corner and along the sides, so the netting can be anchored/attached to nearby bushes/trees to avoid waking up and finding the netting up in a tree. I also add fern, branches, moss, etc. to the netting for additional camo. I use the olive green French Army II tent which is low-profile, with openings each end and incorporates a useful spy netting along the sides to enable to see people approaching/animals. A good 10 minutes of attention to the camo and lends in just as good as what you've done here.

But watch out for the rain in low depressions! I've also slept in puddles. Body heat eventually warms them up but guard duty meant crawling back in the puddle and starting the warming process over again.
