Great video. I have seen stealth camping videos before, but this takes it to a whole new level. You are within earshot of a 7/11. Your gear: outstanding. Everything seems to be lightweight, as in minimal gear. Liked and subbed. Looking forward to viewing more videos. Thank you, sir!

Absolute bananas! On a side note, I appreciate the gear breakdown in the description. I'm on the hunt for "tested, tried and true" gear. I'm super impressed with how the tent, sleeping bag and quilt held up to the temperatures considering I have marginal investment in your local climate. ;-)

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Glad you liked it man! Yeah there is a sweet spot when it comes to quality of camping gear. The REI stuff is ridiculous, but the cheapest stuff (Walmart) can be too cheap to reliable, to heavy, etc. So I totally agree with you.

Awesome video. I always have to get up and cook something when I watch your channel.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

[@u.s.militia7682]

You need a camo tarp. At night you can use red light for filming. We use red light at night in the military. Also, Firefield makes decent gen 1 night optics for less than $200.00 that you can use for filming at night.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Everyone complained about the red light in my cemetery stealth camp, so I'm on the fence. I'll check that fire field out though, interesting.

Thank you! Been working on getting better at the stealth aspect

[@Oldsparkey]

For the life of me I can not understand why a person would kick all of the Duff off ( Ground cover ) to create a clean spot on the dirt. The ground cover would help to cushion the sleeping mat. Remove twigs and sticks but keep the spongy items. The other item is when stealth camping why use a gas blowtorch that sounds like a jet engine. I like a nice quiet alcohol stove , it's light weight , efficient and odorless. Besides when stealth camping if you are in a hurry you are doing it all wrong. My favorite items are a good Jungle Hammock and a Warbonnet Bushwack camouflaged tarp ( Rain fly ). You would never know I have ever been there , even the ground cover is not flatten.

When doing stealth camping, consider using red lights. You'll have a smaller light profile and maintain your nightvision.

I know the tarp is close to the ground but straight lines are not natural and can be seen from afar. I just see many stealth campers doing this but if it were a life or death situation I would recommend anything to break up straight lines. Thanks for the videos I enjoyed.

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

No I get it! You're totally right and I'm aware. In a life or death, one should avoid straight lines. For this type of camp, I'm actually pushed back in far enough that no one can see me without leaving the trail. Glad you enjoyed the video!
