Stealth Camping Behind Billboard

Things finally fell into place and I found my dream stealth camping billboard. I've been searching for years and finally found the perfect one to camp behind. I made it back from the ill-fated trip to the coast, I only got half way there before the floods washed out all the highways connecting the interior to the coast. I will have to make another camping trip as soon as things are back to normal and roads are reopened.

you are a legend. most people take for granted how close they are to being homeless. you help show that it's possible to get by in the urban nature nooks all over. don't feel bad buddy. you have inspired so many to remember their resilience when they meet living near the road.

What you want to do is sauté the cabbage in the butter, garlic and thyme before you add the broth. Add the broth last actually. It will make a big difference I just figured out that i can cut beef jerky up smaller and soften it in boiling water, then add rice and spices and you get like a fried rice that's really tastey. Esp if you add curry powder and green onion but really, just terryaki or soy sauce is fine

I do my own hammock camping and I can say without a doubt that if weight and / or space isn't a huge concern, a trusty wool blanket can be a lifesaver. Especially in wet conditions. I would also say one of the most important bits of kit for cool and cold weather hammocking is an underquilt. No question. Worth the investment.

[@RVingwithLuck]

Awesome video Steve. No worries about the island videos you wanted, as long as you get back home safe. You’re a good man for your donation, and your request for donations, during this holiday season. No matter how bad things get, there is always someone worse off. Kudos to you. As I sit I my RV, broken down in a tow yard, I am thankful I have plenty of food, water and propane. With easy access using my car to get more. Wishing you luck!

I had a deal with a coworker, but he wound up just using me, and it looks like im going to have to take him to small claims to get back the roughly $1000 he owes me.

Steve - you break my heart man! You're a great dude! I'm homeless, sleeping in my car in CT, I've gotten out of my situation in the past, but as I'm older, I find it more and more difficult to get back in touch with society (losing faith) but watching you, ask your followers to defer donating to you, has immediately brought me back into realizing that there has to be other real, caring, good hearted people like yourself that REALLY DO care, and are not just saying it to impress on social media just! I was beginning to dislike my fellow human because, of how I'm treated just asking for a 10¢, not even a quarter, like how dare I ask for a handout. I hate that I have to, but nobody will hire me, when I have one set of clothes, can't shower, and just use my car as shelter. It doesn't start, because I don't have gas. But enough about me! I just want you to know Steve, that you saved me from giving up, you showed me, that if I continue to try, there's still people like yourself out there to enjoy the rest of my life with. Thank Steve!!! I don't know you but, just also want to say I send you all my respect and love, man! YOU are a tremendous individual!

[@punishedmatteson7108]

I'm in a similar situation or was until a month ago. My elderly parents asked me to come stay with them and help them but I was staying in a tent in a stealthy spot on some public land. In my town there are a few free pantries so I never worried about food but it can get kinda depressing sometimes nonetheless. Hang in there, brother. I'll be praying for you.

I think camping behind a billboard is actually a perfect place. People are looking at the billboard, not trying to see what is behind the billboard. With that camouflage, it would be impossible to see anything suspicious, especially if you are driving down a road.
