Highway Rest Area Stealth Camping

www.campingwithsteve.com
Happy 4th of July Weekend!
I dug out the old hammock for a quick overnight stealther. Things got pretty delicious later on when I cooked up a little beef and broccoli with a satisfying step 2 to wash it down. Best camping is stealth camping any day of the week in my books.
Cheers everyone and have a great weekend!

[@randym4121]

What you call "stealth camping," is sort of what I did for two straight years when I was homeless. I'm talking summer, fall, winter and spring, in the day and all night, the whole time holding down a job. I found it to be the ultimate character-building experience. I have a nice apartment now and a comfortable life. I know this is going to sound a little nutty, but sometimes I miss being homeless, evading the police, security guards and trying to find new places to squat in. It takes more ingenuity and guts than most people realize and it made me a more resourceful, self-reliant individual.

[@marcushenness6437]

I slept in my car which doesn't have working a/c for a year and I often find myself thinking that if I had working a/c I would still be living like that.

[@ens0246]

I believe humans, or at least some of us, have a strong desire to be mentally engaged and challenged but also see the fruits of our labour. That's why so many people feel lost in office jobs. It doesn't really matter, as the effects of your efforts aren't immediately apparent. You put in effort but you don't see any tangible return but money at the end of the month. And so you feel unfulfilled. Well that's just how I feel anyway.

[@yep_2431]

I can see it being a thrill

[@jmoo876]

In California you don’t have to evade the police or security, trespassing and setting up tents in front of businesses isn’t illegal anymore. Neither is shop lifting so being homeless isn’t a bad gig in the golden state

Steve is so paranoid about people questioning his every move, ain’t nobody gonna say nuthin to a mans making dinner for himself at a rest stop

[@jeromewink557]

Yeah. Not sure if he’s trying to build suspense or what. He also acts as if getting caught is going to get him 20 years hard labor. I think the reality would be somewhere between “move along sir” and a $1000 fine. With the typical being at or near a move along sir.

[@bloxxor420]

@@jeromewink557 I've thought about it too and I assume it's a mixture of both. Wagering that Steve is a bit on the anxious side as a person, but it'd be stupid of him not to play it up a bit.

I was on my motorcycle a couple years back. I don't like to ride after dark and was really, really beat. Pulled off to an interstate highway rest stop, crawled up on a table that had a small roof over it, put down my air mattress and sleeping bag on a picnic table... was asleep in moments. Several hours later, someone was taping on my foot with a night stick. State Cop.. "You can't camp here." I replied, "I'm not camping, I'm sleeping." A few minutes later he came back and tapped my foot again, I sat up and asked, "how many of those cars parked along the curb have people sleeping in them?" He replied, "Most of them, but that's different". I said "it sure is, because I can't stretch out on my motorcycle seat." He left, I went back to sleep.

[@JP-kb4yi]

I was on a motorcycle trip around the US last year, and found myself without a campground after dark. Pulled into a rest area, and was going to try sleeping on picnic table bench, but found it most uncomfortable. I looked at the full parking lot and realized that truckers and RV owners can just pull in, crawl in the back, and go to sleep. Automobile drivers can just recline the seats and go to sleep. So what is a biker to do? I just set up my tent in the nice grassy area in the picnic area, crawled in my sleeping, and went to sleep. No stealth, just common sense. After all, it is a REST area.

I think generally poeple don't mind if your just sleeping for the night and are off again in the morning. In Australia its super common to just pullover to the side of the highway or rest areas, start a camp fire and set up a tent. Police will drive past and not care. If they see that you've been there there for a week or so they will probably boot you off though.

"The creepiness factor's up there versus, you know, the good wholesome family over there..." ... I relate to this comment sooooo much. I spent nearly a year homeless, and probably the most frustrating thing was to get hassled about loitering based solely on appearance, while the well-dressed folk could loiter to their heart's content disturbing everything and everyone and leaving a trail of trash in their wake. I never disturbed anything or anyone and always left things exactly how I found it, yet I was the "troublemaker" just for looking downtrodden.

@@Billy28376 So true because most of the homeless got that way through drugs and drinking. People who care so little about themselves to become like that will care even less about anyone or anything else.

Highway rest areas being day use only is absurd. If someone gets tired on a long road trip, I'd rather they pull in and sleep than doze off behind the wheel and kill somebody.

[@jackdc9520]

That’s what I’ve never understood. There are government campaigns telling drivers to pull over and not drive if they are tired. But you’re also not allowed to sleep, even in your car, on the side of the road or day-use rest stop. Overnight rest stops for truckers are few and far between on roads that normal commuters wouldn’t take. It’s confounding!

[@lemo4423]

I'll second the common sense here! Live and let live, as long as people leave it like they found it or better, its not hurting anyone!

[@cactusjack1806]

No one enforces it. And its only in some states due to insurance reasons. They dont want accept liability for not having security.

[@byronl.fayette1645]

I live in Arkansas. Being such a crossroads state, the amount of truck traffic is insane. A few years ago a law was passed that prohibited truckers from pulling to the side of on-ramps and sleeping. It was perfectly safe. Most drivers did it in pretty rural areas. A lot better than sleepy guys behind the wheel of a forty-ton machine.

[@keithhaycraft3765]

In Australia there are strict regulations for truckies relating to hours worked (cumulatively) & the amount of rest they must have consequently, there are designated locations for them to rest in. They do have a problem with Grey Nomads occupying those sites so the truckies are asking for policing of the improper use of the truck stops, especially since there are rest stops for other drivers. In NSW (where I live) you are considered to be managing fatigue if you keep your caravan hitched to your tow vehicle. Howev, should you separate the 2, you are considered to be camping & if seen by the Police you risk a fine & being moved on. There is a large number of free camps available where you may stay for up to 72 hours before being required to move on though, that might not be inforced if you do not misbehave.
