[@Berniewojewski]

lol. “Hey, look over here. Oh they looked”. That’s funny they looked.

[@Off-Gridiot]

Kevin, the mystery plant is Arrowhead Duckroot / Duck Potato…yes Duck Potato lol. Screenshot a still frame and uploaded it into PictureThis plant identifier app (fantastic app!). ✌️The more you knowwww💫

[@biffbouse]

I appreciate that you walk 2-3 times farther than necessary to get establishing shots of your journey. Cheers, Kevin, to another fine episode of Small Plots!

Before your channel , Rochester was a myth . A magical place where beer came from ! Fancy beer , like miller and genesee . Thank you kevin for living the high life !

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

I love the juxtaposition of wilderness and civilization. This is a great small plot.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

I agree!

[@smallplots]

Thank you joe! Love seeing your channel grow to great heights! 😁

Your hardcore dude. I would've wimped out and stayed home until it stopped raining. Love your videos.

[@standsproud]

You're sense of humor is epic. Unique as spineless cactus and I love it.

Watching for inspiration before going camping myself. Consider me inspired. Love the Outlaw Camper sticker on the water bottle!

[@Off-Gridiot]

Ohhh snap sticker spotted!

Haha good luck man! And yeah, it's mainstay of my bottle 😁

Tryon Park has a spot where people stealth camp. It is at the very far north east corner of the red trail. It overlooks the bay and has a fire pit. Always see people with their hammocks. The spot is so far off the road you can have a fire easily without being seen.

[@abeirabaixa]

You get heavy rain, identical to that of a tropical forest, and you don't give up. You camp somewhere where the ambulance sirens make as much noise as the frogs. You have a pedestrian bridge close by and tourist boats running around. You find an authentic archaeological site with several historical remains floating in the river near your tent. Meanwhile, you discovered that the lumberjacks who cut down the trees in the area play classical guitar. Congratulations! You have just been selected for the stealth camping Olympics to be held next year in the center of central center of Paris' center!!

[@smallplots]

Hey thank you so much!!

[@wildmanmountainjack3725]

So amazing to be in a hammock, in a downpour and knowing you are safe and dry.

[@elessartelcontar9415]

Those aquatic plants that "kinda look like lilly pads" are Arrowhead/Arrow Arum aka "duck potato". I used to grow them in my water garden. All parts of it are edible and it has no toxic mimics in North America. It has some limited medicinal uses (the leaves and root skins can be used as an anti-inflammatory poultice to stop bleeding and reduce swelling), but its roots are prized as a top-notch wild starchy edible.

[@tjellis1479]

The long list of birds that relish poison ivy includes bobwhite quail, brown thrashers, northern mockingbirds, red-headed, downy, hairy, pileated and red-bellied woodpeckers, yellow-bellied sapsuckers, northern flickers, yellow-rumped warblers, Carolina chickadees, blue grosbeaks, eastern bluebirds and gray catbirds....goats too. Google said so

[@jimdye7431]

“I’m the weird entity in this scenario” lmao! Definitely not weird.

[@andrewh8747]

This may be the wettest stealth camp I have seen!

[@PuncturedBicycle-wy4po]

Great video. I like the philosophical thoughts on the nature of branches and why they behave as they do 🤣

[@smallplots]

Right?!

[@tracymagaw5578]

sure you have heard of steve wallis so what you do is not bad but entertaining!!!!!!!!!!! keep on!!!!!!!! love ya man !!!!!!! so funny!!!!!!!!!!!

[@greyman7115]

Great to see you back! I may be in the minority but I hate summer lol! Fall is the best season for me. I hope to see a "spooky" fall camp with you and Shawn this year. Didn't get one last year. Keep up the great work bud!

[@smallplots]

Yeah summer is my least fav weather to camp in

[@rbuenafe100]

As always Kevin, love your videos. You are very entertaining! When you were screaming at the person on the bridge, the tree that was in the middle of your frame is a Mulberry tree full of ripened fruit. They are amazingly sweet, organic and cost a lot of money in farmer's market.

[@smallplots]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gene_takavic57]

Cracking that beer makes me think of the Deep Purple classic, "Space Kitty". Come on, come on, come on, let's go Space Kitty!

[@brigidholland5571]

You always provide an interesting perspective of stealth camping. Love it.

[@ameliarhodes5000]

Wow. Just wow. Use of music and allowing the video to breath a lil with ambient sound ie. rain and thunder, a chef's kiss on your production value(s). SOOoOoo glad to have found you. So much more enjoyable than that Wind guy who is all about drama and mental illness. Can't be helped but not a lot of fun to watch.

[@pavelusa3423]

I like the song poison ivy Kevin..thanx for the next episode...you're just a happy camper we love

[@smallplots]

Glad you enjoy!

[@jamesmorris7308]

Love the music behind the fireflies scene. Please do more artistic filming like that. I always enjoy when you film scenes like that.

[@smallplots]

Thanks james!

[@bennym1956]

Thanks for the "How NOT to go Camping " video ! Camping at water edge in pouring rain, water may rise, surrounded by mosquitos and poison ivy. Was this a satirical camping video ? Such a great job that you should apply for next season's "Alone" currently showing on Netflix !

You always make me laugh 😃 😂 Yikes 😬 😳 poison ivy, I don't know how you do it. 😬 😳 Your sandwich looked yummy, turkey and bacon. 🥓 😋 On hot days a nice cool sandwich is best. I know I don't want hot food on a hot day. I'm looking for new cold meals for those day's in the 90s with high humidity. Ugh lol. I love thunderstorms. This was an awesome camp to bad you got soaking wet😬 😳 I would have had the chills for the rest of the night. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures and for all the hard work and time you put into your awesome videos. They truly are top-notch and that's the truth. I was🤔 wondering what that noise was and it was a guy bahahaha "No chasies, no chasies the rabbit."

[@elessartelcontar9415]

I have a small woodlot of about 15 acres within 100 feet of where I live. There are also 3 large ponds that have gators 🐊 so I am concerned that they would try to get me in my sleep if i camped there. I still haven't given up on the idea. This part of Florida has lots of snakes too including the foot long nearly-invisible pygmy rattlesnake. They are just as lethal as the big ones. 🐍 and without a Thermocell the mosquitoes 🦟 and Noseeums would drain me of all my blood by morning. Noseeums, in case you don't know, are a biting insect that is so tiny that you cannot see them yet somehow have 6 inch long razor-sharp fangs! Their initial bite is worse than getting an IV but the wound always supporates and oozes for about 2 weeks. They leave a permanent scar on the skin. You've been warned!
