Stealth Camping Under A Fighter Jet

[@WesWherever]

Thanks to everyone for watching! This is definitely a different kind of adventure than normal, but hope you all still enjoy. I want to give a huge thanks to Steve Wallis @campingwithsteve for motivating me to get outside, no matter how unusual the spot. He has been a huge inspiration to me, and this episode would not have happened without him. 💪

Steve would be proud what a cool spot

Thanks Liam, I’m just happy if anyone watches and is able to get some value/entertainment! ☺️

His videos are really short.... to be fair, Ive only watched 2 lol, but if they are all 7-10 mins long, he is targeting a younger impatient audience and i bet his audience are mostly older.... they/we want longer videos.

Nice work! I just assumed it was a real jet.

[@TravellingTrav1025]

I'm from Oakland and been visiting Alameda my whole life..use to go on that navy base as a kid. It's funny I driven by that Jet on the way to the USS Hornet aircraft carrier! Awesome video bro!

[@biffbouse]

I moved from the Bay Area about six years ago, and in the meantime, I got into watching stealth camping videos (Steve Wallis, of course). When I saw one of your earlier videos of camping on Red Rock Island, I immediately recognized it from driving over the Richmond Bridge and pointing to the island. I would tell my wife that my dream was to live on it. So, I had to watch your video and was not disappointed. I also immediately recognized that plane and knew precisely which brewery you were headed to. Thanks for making these videos; I know this account will grow!

[@WesWherever]

Thanks for watching Biff, glad you enjoyed! Really cool to hear about your connection with the island and that you are a fellow fan of Steve… he is very motivational to me and definitely inspired me to make this video! The base continues to be developed and actually has 3 breweries now 👀

@@WesWherever While my heart is more on the wild camping side, I also enjoy watching a great stealth camp! I love the ideas people come up with and camping in plain sight without being seen. :)

[@DALEEDWARDOPPERMAN]

I worked on A7 Corsairs when I was in the Navy back in the 80’s. I was a jet engine mechanic in VA94.

[@Outdoor-Avenger]

Awesome video just found your channel. My dad was stationed on the USS Midway when he was in the Navy and he worked on these jets that’s so cool that you’re camping under one of them. He was an aviation technician he worked on all the electrical components.

[@WesWherever]

That is such a cool connection that you have with your dad working on these. I would have loved to get inside the cockpit and check everything out (including the electrical!) USS Midway is actually on my list to check out next time I'm down in SD 🚢 Thanks so much for watching

[@suzannelegeza1292]

Whoo hoo! You're back! ♥️I will watch in a few👍

[@melsfabfinds]

That was suspenseful and cool! Glad you made it out. Nice to see your mom and Preston again too! Showed my Dad your videos and he loved it…he doesn’t like to make accounts so he can’t subscribe but he likes to go on KZbin so he can still get you watch hours. 😊

I find it funny that an old navy base has so many distilleries and breweries and even wine places.Hanger 1 vodka made their as well as saint george distillery. I saw the hanger where they refurbished that A 7 on the other gate they got an F 8 crusader fighter. and the local high school a few blocks away has an A 4 sky hawk as it symbol and kid of mascot

[@WesWherever]

Hahaha I try 🥷

[@jameshudkins2210]

I've been looking over Google Earth and identified several spots. Some I've been to and some just look interesting. The relative legality of each is largely unknown to me. There is Brooks Island off Richmond. It might be bad because of being a wildlife location. There are many island separated by sloughs in the delta. Some are only accessible by water. There are 2 free ferry boats which are open to cars. The Sacramento Northern Railroad ran from a Train Ferry across form Antioch/Pittsburg up to Rio Vista Junction. Black Diamond Regional Park south of Antioch has a complex geography with many hidden spots. There are old vents and other entrances scattered all over. There were 3 railroads and 5 Ghost Towns. They mined coal and special sand. To the south of that Mount Diablo has an interesting history and is really big. There are many hidden valleys and ponds. Chase Pond, Hidden Pond and Frog Pond are some. In the south bay there are many islands. A Ghost town is at Drawbridge on Station Island. It is forbidden. You can see it from Amtrak. Out in the bay between the San Mateo and Dumbarton Bridges is a sunken ship called the USS Thompson.

[@WesWherever]

I have been to Brooks, but not camped overnight... not sure if I'd try 🤔 Really looking forward to exploring the delta. Black Diamond looks great, I might have to check that out!! And that ghost town sounds FASCINATING! I think I found it on maps. Really appreciate all your insight Jim, you know some great places to check out!! Looking forward to being back in the bay area!

[@jameshudkins2210]

@@WesWherever You can locate Drawbridge at Drawbridge, Fremont, CA in Google Earth. The Amtrak Coast Starlight and Capital go right through it. It is north of Alviso, CA. It's an easy way to scope it out. KZbin under Drawbridge, California has a lot. KZbin has a lot under Black Diamond, CA. It can be entered from Clayton, Antioch and Contra Loma.

[@roosterregal6864]

It's not that I'm disliking this channel or Wes specifically.. but it's small stuff like " So you're actually going out to have drinks the same night that you decided to bring a portable burner and sleep under a jet across the street from an apartment complex." I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this premise, but there's just a lack of cohesive story to your videos. Like, while you're drinking with Mom, why not just eat too? Maybe I'm overthinking this, but maybe not too and people just don't care about simple reasoning.

[@nathanjamesbaker]

Obviously he made a choice to bring dinner for cooking outdoors. That is part of his formula for his videos. I would think his audience understands this, and therefore it's inherently part of the "story," as you put it.
