Stealth Camping at McDonald's (Worlds Largest Fast Food Restaurant)

[@jobertdeguzman66]

For stealth camping you should use a blackout curtain or partition to separate the front cab from the living area. When you use your window covers that’s a beacon letting everyone know that someone is camping in the van. Leaving the front cab open just makes it look like the van is parked and the driver is out……I’m just sayin’

[@MrBirchieBirch]

Black coloured blinds would at least be more stealthy.

[@mobile8873]

Yeah...I agree

[@RMJ1984]

Exactly, was about to say the same, it's a 100% dead give away, that someone is living/sleeping in the van. And you don't use the front area anyways, and leaving that open, it just looks like a normal van that has been parked and left.

[@NothingbutDust734]

What does it matter though? A van with an exhaust and solar at the top. Yeah, sure no one is living in there for sure. With blinds all over the windows, for sure no one is in there. Seriously?

[@All5AJz]

@@NothingbutDust734 well I have all of it and I don't live in it...

Hello from Taiwan🇹🇼 I’m a mom of a little boy, I work five days a week. I go to work after taking my kid to school , then pick up my kid after work. I mean,it’s really boring sometimes/most of the time. Your videos really lighten up my days and take me to places I probably won’t go in any time soon, or try things I won’t try anytime soon. Your freedom to travel in van ,your braveness to stay in random places and your little funny moments are really awesome. Just want to let you know that someone from the other side of the world really enjoy your video.

Mau god bless you & your boy!

England just doesn't like people parking overnight. Where as Scotland doesn't seem to have much of a problem with that. But you managed to find a place for the night. Good job. Thanks for sharing this stealth camping adventure. Have a great day.

[@380Scania]

You cant park overnight along Loch Ness unless it is in a camp site whichbis sad

[@Stefano1875]

those car park fines are uninforcable in Scotland, they can send you letters, you just ignore, they can't do anything.

[@purplequeen1727]

I'm in the U.S. and have never seen barriers at a McDonald's!

[@LanceBryantGrigg]

I love how simple your life is. Honestly. I want it. I make huge money with big companies and all i can think about is when I can quit and make my life simple and relaxed.

[@vetworker]

Never have I looked forward to watching a guy stealth camping in a car park outside McDonald’s until Wills Whereabouts channel was born into the world of KZbin. Great video 😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@MrLondonGo]

I say to my pals if you only watch one A guy stealth camping in a car park outside McDonald’s video this year, make this one!

[@MitchellBPYao]

you heard of Ryan Twoney

[@markturner1970]

Only found your channel yesterday mate so I've been watching from when you first bought the van and are now fitting the flooring. Very entertaining channel.

[@dani_mack]

Mind blown! Seeing a drive thru in a place that drives on the left looks so crazy! 😄

Your van looks great Will! You've come a long way!

[@2WheelSam]

New sub/viewer here. Love these videos they really relax me and reduce my stress/anxiety so thanks for that! The van looks so peaceful and cosy would enjoy chilling in there.

[@johnlewis8168]

Not sure if it's been mentioned previously, but ever thought of spray painting your front blinds black? Would match you side windows and make it more stealthy? 😌 Otherwise great channel! 😃✌🏻

[@emma_m0]

I think that every time I see them. I think they’re paper but black spray paint would work fine.

[@MrJoffster]

The barriers are to prevent people leaving their cars at McDonald's and sodding off to the airport thus avoiding parking charges at the airport terminal or car parks cracking video as usual my good sir 👍

[@testpilotian3188]

You’d be towed within the day, they’re more there to stop people using the car park as a drop off point. Whenever I drop anybody at the airport I either stop on the road by the hotel or drop them in the BP garage at the North Terminal (be sure to buy a mars bar from the shop and ask for a receipt) I’ve also dropped people off outside the Police station at the South Terminal lol - never been fined yet.

[@giraffe3718]

@@testpilotian3188 incorrect. nobody is allowed to tow or clamp your car without permission from the council, police or DVLA. And permission is only for specific occasions. Also the only parking fines that you must legally pay are those from the local council. A "fine" from McDonald's can be ignored with no consequence

[@Johnny5Toy]

@@giraffe3718 not with no consequence, they can take you to court for the fine, plus admin charges, and get the court to issue a CCJ.

[@brandonparkinson3924]

@@Johnny5Toy Agree with this. The old advice to 'ignore with no consequence' is not valid anymore.

[@MitchellBPYao]

does it matter if they block the way like in the opposite direction

[@queryhsje7514]

Hi, at minutes 17:01, what tool did you use for cleaning up your windshield? Thanks.

[@lollett1]

karcher window vac

[@queryhsje7514]

Thanks!

[@GordonjSmith1]

I am a 'Brit' who has lived in Northern Europe for the last 20 years. We returned to the UK last summer for a family visit and were entirely shocked at the parking restrictions and complex rules about 'which cars' are allowed to park 'where'. My children's God Father took us all to the movies in a town in Kent, but the parking process, the 'process' for ordering our 'Nando's dinner' and the 'process' for buying our cinema tickets was exhausting. The movie seemed like the least important activity. Has the UK become a place where there is a 'tax' on existing?? Try taking 'Mary' on a trip to Northern Europe. (a) You will find it very easy, and (b) the people are lovely - you know that when they sell beer in the petrol stations and not very many buy it!

[@Razvan90]

Thank you for explaining in the title what McDonald's is, I was confused for a second until I read your explanation.

[@Whepzy]

YES THEN THE BOY I COMMENTED THIS AND HE WENT AND DID IT. LEGEND !!

[@palmermccall7309]

As a teenager from North Carolina in the mid-80s, I spent a summer in school in the Horley/Haywards Heath/Surrey/Sussex area. It's a bit shocking to see it looking so much like automobile-centric America these days! I have done plenty of stealth camping here in the last 20 years with my Casita fiberglass travel trailer, and I share your pain of finding a quiet spot that doesn't obviously break any rules. Nice new underpants!

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

Any plain van with windows in the back always screams camper, you can spot them a mile away. I’ve got a sign written windowless Van that’s a camper, park that anywhere because it looks like a works van

[@eatsnoreexplore8651]

Hey Will. Consider a white noise speaker (amazon sells them) to drown out street noises at night. Works for me, maybe it works for you

[@martinhaskell376]

In areas surrounding airports everyone is looking for free or cheap parking, which is why airports, hotels etc. are so hot on it.

[@KarmaCal57]

Hey Will. Why don't you put a removable security camera, with 360-degree panning, outside when parked up. That way, you can check the outside. Either on your phone or on the TV monitor. Just a thought 🤔

[@davidathey7903]

McD is pushing the McRib farewell tour here in the USA. Pssst…I love the McRib.

[@steveo6944]

Mate i absolutely luv your videos you never fail to disappoint. Its pure entertainment.

[@chris20years1]

Enjoyed video and they always say 3rd time is a charm

[@神奈川よしろう]

@Will's Whereabouts This is a great idea! You should totally go two different hotels and different places where food can be tried out and try to eat that food for breakfast lunch and dinner and make a video series out of it. Obviously, you don't want to end up like some of the other KZbinrs who get unhealthy on this, but this is maybe something that could be done once in awhile.

[@si_h44]

always enjoy a good stealth camp, you should try get into some exclusive golf courses for a sneaky camp!

[@Chobz96]

I no longer go to mcdonalds or kfc, but i had been thinking about making my own camper long time a go now going back to the idea. You done a smart job with it all and would say its gives more character to everything if you make it your self.

[@MitchellBPYao]

because are cheap, dont have to go in there

[@ziya9767]

man i love your stealth camping videos :)

[@_KSM]

I tell you what, I may have been upset that it was a delayed upload, but the editing makes it worth it!

[@UnoDat]

I frequent that McDonalds a lot. Popped in there at 11:30 couple of days ago and although everything was close, the gates were open.

[@rrain3375]

If you really wanted stealth you should have picked a cargo van with no window on the side or back. I put in two ceiling skylights works perfect. Still have room on the roof for solar panels too. And also a blackout drape behind the front seats. It slides on a track if you need to use the front seats for extra seating in a pinch.

[@mell_gif]

I really enjoyed this episode Will. Keep up the good work / and uploads 👍🏻

OK....its 7am...sunday morning.........where I have my morning coffee and toast and check my emails and youtube videos for the latest news. I see this guy doing stealth camping so I figure I would check in and see whats happening. Little did I know that not even 5 min into the video I would be laughing my butt off about a guy going to McDonalds for the next 24 hours. I'm going to finish watching now......I guess while laughing and trying to finish my coffee!!!! Not sure why.....but you are hilarious my dear. I love the brits but now I love you even more. Thanks so much for sharing. Back to the video!

Hi Will can you tell me how you stream the firestick, do you use iptv on the stick

Two points: Point One: 9.53 I see a barrier to my left and to my right... 🤫 Point Two: last time I had anything with high fructose corn syrup, I wound up in hospital, couldn't breathe, or I had so much snot running down the back of my throat, it felt like I couldn't breathe! 😶 Bonus Point: I work across the street from a McDonalds, Starbucks, Subway, and a Dairy Queen, and have never once went to any of them for food or drink... My takeaway preference is to live, because I'm rather fond of it, and don't want to take a chance having high fructose corn syrup again! 😄 That's all! Cheers Will! 🤠 🖤🦇

[@seanrobesyn7808]

I get the parking restrictions near the airport. Not wanting to pay for parking at the airport leads to places full of pretty much long term parking problems. I don't understand why the others have the gates. Are they also close to the airport? Is there some kind of parking shortage in those areas?

[@claressalucas8922]
