STEALTH CAMPING ON A TRAIN BRIDGE (FAIL)

[@beenLuka]

Sam!!!!! we did not call anybody. i told you how i was eating in that parking lot around midnight a couple weeks ago and a cop pulled up and told me i had to leave cus it was closed, they probably saw your car there and knew you had to be up there cus there aren’t many other places you’d be. it probably happens very often and i underestimated the cops privyness 😭 don’t get down about a failed stealth camp keep believin you got it 🐐

I trust you young brotherdad, we shall meet again I hope! Just bad luck and timing

Still trying to find the "stealth" in your camping adventures. This was just Trespassing in plain site.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I mean, you can state the obvious for sure. Still trying to get more stealthy with each passing video. One week at a time my friend.

@@TheNorthwestWind I love that you get caught and bail so often. It is the only reason I watch your channel. I get disappointed when you make it through the night.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

lol thanks

[@JohnSmith-pn4it]

Always remember, people like to watch other people do what they themselves wouldn't or couldn't do. That's one reason why sports is so popular. Bravo on your risky exploits!! 👏👏👏

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Thank for for the kind words my friend! I really appreciate you taking the time and for watching. I do definitely agree 1000%

[@jameshudkins2210]

Yes!

[@TheNorthwestWind]

[@bigcountry443]

Seriously bro.....that's really dangerous. People in the comments are very kind. I am too. I really hate to see you hurt man. That is not alot of room between you and a train. God bless you.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Yeah, in hindsight - not my finest idea. I appreciate your concern and support my friend! Much love to you! Happy Holidays!

[@bigcountry443]

A little advice brother. Research the areas first. Stay safe brother be cautious. Blessings to you.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I usually do pretty well! This area Id been to before. Much love, Blessings to you too!

[@mikeyjoe7777]

glad we can help you feel better man, you deserve it! hope this channel blows up!

[@TheNorthwestWind]

We will in time! Much love for the kind words my friend

[@cypresscentersecurity1412]

I can only imagine what would have happened, what it would have looked like, if you got half way across that bridge when a small earthquake crappened! Just speculating, but the police might have been following up on the guys that went up there, it might be a known hangout for trouble-doers. Glad to see there is some hummus among-us!

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Alls well that ends well

[@interestingtimes6439]

Hi Sam - Near the beginning when you were walking along that trestle, with the camera pointing down... Ohhh that SCARED me. I had to keep looking away. Tummy was just rockin' Yep, I am even more afraid of heights than you are. Thanks for the video

[@TheNorthwestWind]

A feeling I wont soon forget, thats for sure. Much love for the continued support my friend!!!! I really appreciate you

[@getlosturbanhiker]

Not all of our stealth camp videos work out. What makes you genuine, is that you still post your failed stealth camp videos. Which to me is honestly more entertaining. 😆 Dont be down over it, we all understand when a plan doesn't go to plan. Its still great content to watch and honesty, most people subscribe to you because of your humor and creative places you stay. Keep your head up, see you in the next video. #stealthcampingalliance

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I just try to keep it real my friend! Im glad you enjoy and I really do truly appreciate your kind words, it means the world to me. Glad to have you here along for the ride

[@Chiphikes]

Bro, you're definitely a free spirit...and entertaining! Thank you.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I just try to have fun and keep it real, Im glad it comes off that way. With me - what you see is what you get! Much love my friend!!!!

[@DerpPickles]

If you're going to be on precarious heights or trains I recommend a riggers belt, carabiners, and some good rope. It can make you feel and be more safe. For trains, it can make a lot of cars rideable.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Good advice my friend! Be safe out there!

[@1jsolano]

Hi Sam, I’m a new subscriber. I love all things stealth camping. I also watch Steve Wallis; I don’t know much about how he plans and scouts out his locations. I’ve seen some his failed videos and just like someone on here said; they’re also pretty entertaining. It takes guts to go out there and do what you guys do. You never know who you’re going to run in to out there, but it’s an adventure and honestly I’m grateful that you let us all be a part of it. Be safe out there man and I pray that God keeps you safe you do your thing.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I really appreciate you being here my friend. Steve is a boss of great magnitude. Each week we will continue to grow and get better!

[@homerjay20]

From a fellow Clevelander, I enjoy the heck out of your videos Sam! Stay Safe!!!

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Thanks much for being here and for the kind words my friend! I really appreciate you! Lots of cool stuff on the way!

[@MFXdump]

This reminds me of one night when I had a security guy in a golf cart at a golf course shining a spot light up at a steel truss railroad bridge. The railroad would leave cars on the bridge during the afternoon, then come back to pick them up overnight. I was crossing the bridge between the cars and the sides of the bridge when I saw him coming. I climbed up into a boxcar that was directly over the golf path and hid myself all the way at the back wall. He really tried to find me, but gave up eventually and left. 😂

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Lol that sounds like a great time

[@jameshudkins2210]

If they can't see you can't bust you.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

That’s what she said

[@Jrile1025]

Even the fails are successes my friend. Great video, was fun hangin with you in the live, and can't wait for the next one. Cheers! #fellowohioan

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Yeah, I just don’t want them to become a theme lol. I’m glad you enjoyed the live, it seems like everybody did and I did as well. Will definitely do it if I can every time. Much love and thank you for the support, I really appreciate it.

[@slserenader]

you're stealth camping videos are good! a few months ago I stealth camped in an active railyard and slept on an open grainer porch! I put it on my KZbin shorts, but it was probably my least favorite stealth camp, I hardly got any sleep 😂

[@TheNorthwestWind]

That sounds epic! I will check it out! Much love for the kind words and thanks for watching my friend! I hope you'll stick around

Try to remember that you are only part human. You also have a spiritual side and you can also "choose" your mindset. If you choose happiness and focus on it all good kind of things start happening. Great video. Wishing you self healing and love.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I really need to take that advice. Thank you so much for being so kind.

These videos help us get through so keep going it will pay off eventually. You’re helping others which in turn will help you. Trust in that

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Steve, thanks much for the kind words and I’m glad to have you here! Much love my friend I hope you feel better! I definitely can relate

[@matthewandrileysmom]

Still a great video even if you didn't get to stay the whole time. I think it's good to show your whole process. If you keep this up, looking back at the beginning of your stealth camping will be really cool to see how far you have come. Keep it up!

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Funny you mention that, through 10 videos already things are already progressing in a major way! Much love for the continued support, I really appreciate you and the kind words!

[@sherry8894]

That's way too dangerous. Too scary and a hell of a long way to the ground. NO WAY!!!!

[@NikkiEvernight]

I think someone saw you, or live streaming where you are got you caught..Good thing though, you could roll down there! Good fun though

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Could be, but I doubt it but I’ve had that paranoia before lol. I had a subscriber trying to figure out which Walmart I was camping at, and his goal was to bust me. He told me straight up lol. He is somewhat local and the next day after the video was posted named four different local Walmarts that are in proximity to me, including the one that I stayed at lol. So yeah, people are doing crappy stuff out there.

[@thomasitsasecretlol1988]

Stop taking your car get dropped off by an Uber or a Lyft, etc.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I think this is one of the best moves I can potentially make moving forward, good call my friend.

[@Camadian]

Dude you’re a legend. I feel ya on depression - funny enough thats what lead me to wanting a stealth camp (/parody) channel. Impressive wit and bravery! Dont stop doing these! If for nothing else do it for the mental health shits n gigs. I’m in Vancouver if you ever want a stealth hangout along the coast - hmu brojoesive

[@tylerwilkinson804]

Whoa whoa whoa... Where are these live streamed! And also man, to be honest, once I saw those heights I was hoping you'd decide to back out. I think the spotlight was a blessing because I was getting nervous you'd roll off the side while sleeping lol

[@TheNorthwestWind]

That was the first live stream Ive done! It was fun and definitely helped pass the time! I dont like heights, wouldnt have slept well

[@interestingtimes6439]

Hi again Sam - Just reading the comments. BeenLuka is probably right... if you left your truck at the base of the trestle, Police would probably think you were up there. As was the case at the golf course, consider parking much further away next time. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

That one is a crucial step I have ignored. If my car is an obvious indicator that. I may be close by - no bueno

This one made me the most nervous! I’m glad you decided to be safe and leave. It was absolutely beautiful out there though! Watching you walk across that tall icy bridge was bad for my nerves lol I enjoy your videos regardless because you’re silly and entertaining. Like, who thinks about a butthole that smells like hummus lmao but yeah you don’t have to push the envelope with the risky “stealths”, in my opinion, unless you just want to. I don’t think the guys called, maybe your light was visible in the dark up there and somebody passing by was concerned.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

It was a bit nerveydervey for sure, I just try to keep it real! Those guys didnt call, it was prob my lights as I stood up there streaming like a complete idiot, lol.
