Stealth Truck Camping at a Walmart Goes As Well as Expected - Walmart Weirdo Truck Cot Camp

[@robinblocker9892]

I used to do that when I was younger too. I called them my self healing days. Took my dad once and learned a lot about him as we traveled. Miss him.

[@helmhamburgerhand]

Leaving your window That open was anxiety inducing. Definitely more trusting than i am when car camping 😅

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

A stealth camp? I had to look twice, I thought I clicked a Steve Wallis video🤣 What you have done with the cot Luke is VERY cool, you have taken the 18 wheeler sleeper and sized it down to fit YOUR truck. In the shots of it, it looks just like a sleeper cab, just smaller.

[@angiemeininger]

Me too. Thought the airwaves were crossed.

[@wesleyd6080]

Also being a Thursday also haha

[@belabear]

Same 😅

[@Bobbieyounce]

I thought the same! But he can check out the cot!

[@shanereese3935]

Steve is the best, Hunker Down!! And have a step two!!

[@dennisjs]

I have a ford f150 with an extended cab and an extra long bed with a camper shell. I use the back seat of the cab for storage and in the bed I have added a long cot,2 tables, a stove,a propane heater,and a fan to create a simple but comfortable sleeping space. The windows of the camper shell are limo tinted to increase privacy. I call it my mobile man cave lol. At 71, it is a lot easier to climb in the back of the truck than to set up a tent! Plus since there is absolutely nothing added to the outside,it looks like a plain old work truck, which makes it much easier to stealth camp.

[@susanmartin8117]

Luke I have the same cot, thanks to your review. I drive a F150 and have a cap on the truck bed. I actually have my cot back there and it is awesome. I camp in the Adirondack mountains in the off season and absolutely love it. I have been doing it for a while now and sometimes wake up thinking I’m home. It’s that comfortable!!! I’m a 75 year old female and absolutely love the outdoors. Many of my purchasers have been because of your reviews. You are always dead on! Thank you for you and your channel!!!! Be safe out there-

[@dinarusso3320]

😮😮 please be careful going camping alone!

[@connieparker8896]

I’m so glad you posted your age, I’m 70 about to be 71 , I still feel like I’m in my 40’s , and am wanting to do the same thing your doing,,, good on you,, safe travels

[@connieparker8896]

71 yr old female also, I forgot to put that in….

[@danielsweeney6742]

Wait- this is not Steve Wallis channel? Stealth camping.. Talking about past friends. Back when I was young I remember going to a Kmart to buy a Matchbox car. I remember thinking it was a long bike ride but it was worth having a new Matchbox. Back home my friend and I started playing with the new cars. First we had two, then there was four, then six and ended with 8. I bought one or two. My at the time friend bought one. He stole the rest. I was a loss for words.

[@ac1dburn698]

Steve is a boring moron

[@tracyl1368]

Missed the step two mind!!! 😅

[@lukeduke1212]

I was confused too for a second, but its too early for Steve.

[@sharonhutchins5784]

New subber. I didn’t realize it at the time, but my family grew up nomads. Dad didn’t like staying anywhere for too long. We often camped out of our station wagon. Sleeping out of it. Eating out of it. We had some trying times to be sure. But we also had some very unique experiences. Dad was all about stopping by the wayside to see something interesting, swim in a creek, have a picnic, have s’mores by a campfire. Once, (this was in the 60’s) we got to some sort of check center set up in the road. A tiny hut with a man inside, who was some sort of military man. He had very explicit instructions for the next six miles of road. No cameras. No stopping. It takes exactly x amount of time to get to the other checkpoint going x mph, which you must drive. If we stopped, didn’t reach the other checkpoint in time, someone would be sent out. If you have an emergency, do not under any circumstances get out. He then did a check of our vehicle. We got back in, he started a timer, and we proceeded forward. The first crazy thing was a boiling river. It was literally boiling with steam coming off it as it wound its way through its course. The next thing is both sides of the road was very forested. Heavy, thick forest. One squared area, the trees were petrified. Another square area, the trees were gorgeous and flourishing. Another squared area, the trees were stumps…the soil was ashy and smoking. It went on like this until we got to the next checkpoint where our vehicle was again inspected to make sure we didn’t have any contraband from the area. We had a lot of crazy experiences on the road. I guess that’s why I enjoy these vlogs so much.

[@claymcbunch1013]

Taco Bell while stealth camping? That’s risky

[@WildernessMapper]

Be careful lighting a match in enclosed area after Taco Bell 💥

[@icastell]

A restroom nearby after midnight Taco Bell is a must….run Forrest run!

[@lawrencetalbot55]

Yup!! Total luxury.

[@ManLand]

Yep and must have had a portable 5 gallon bucket with some Walmart Toilet paper we didn't know about...lol

[@lawrencetalbot55]

Taco Bell food never has a negative effect on my stomach, and I can eat a whole bag of those tacos!! I guess I just have an iron gut. Lol

[@saxman7131]

I was a road musician for many years. While I always had hotels to stay in some of the trips were long and I’d pull over and sleep. It was safe way back then (late 70’s-80’s) but I wouldn’t do it now

[@farstrider79]

The 70's and 80's were not safe either, the Internet just lets you know about it more now.

[@trinarichardson291]

It deff was safer in the 70s

[@PoleTooke]

@@trinarichardson291 is that why like 90% of serial killers documentaries are about 70s people lol

[@WarriorofChrist87]

Stealth camping!!!! I never thought id see the day outdoor gear review did a stealth camp 😂

[@roostershooter76]

I could share some stories. In 1992 some friends and I did a tour with the Grateful Dead. We took off at the end of May and don’t come home until the end of August. The entire summer was camping out of a VW Vanagon and sleeping in pup tents. That was an experience! Some of the people I met will stick with me until my last days.

[@earlgrey691]

Lol.The most leftfield folks of them all with a Dead gathering.?

[@dobycorder3206]

Aww... the good days...

[@eleanorcramer7986]

Greatfull Dead after all. Namaste in 24.

Singing man really was quite special 🤣🤪 Neat cot setup

[@Bmbagley325]

Dudes just vibin to Jellyroll 🎶

[@ridgetop8161]

Exactly. Kind of fit too.

[@matllebpmac3405]

Jelly Roll Rocks!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@James-np8pu]

This was shaping up like a suspense horror thriller and a well made one at that. You should make a movie.

[@b16crxt]

From the lyrics I could hear it sounds like "son of a sinner" by Jelly Roll. Pretty good song.

[@randydavis9324]

Another fan who knew the song.

[@richardb.7054]

I don't think I would be able to sleep a wink in a Walmart parking lot, even without your Grammy winning singer providing quality entertainment all night😂

[@iamhere4now980]

I have slept a few Walmarts in Virginia, Maine, and few other states I don't remember. The Ellsworth Maine Walmart is super freaking big. I went in and talked to mangers to see where I should park and his many days could I stay and would I be safe since I was alone. They were super nice. That Walmart has four sides to it for parking and the entries into store and another in auto section. They also told me not to worry about being safe there entire store inside and out had thousands of cameras and people watching them at all times. This was way before plandemic. It closed at twelve since it was a small place. Lots of people came to that area tho cause its not but seven miles from the coast.

[@iamhere4now980]

I remember this night you filmed this, we had major fog that night here in Virginia. I'm about twenty minutes from Como NC

[@dinarusso3320]

I can if I were tired enough, taken a few road trips and stayed up all night driving, once I pulled over in a factory that was closed and passed out for about 8 hours.

[@desotofiresweep58]

That guy is the 3rd shift parking lot security. 😂😂😂😂

[@OzarkGiGi]

I was stealth camping across the country in 2020 and 21... Many Walmart will no longer allow you to Park and sleep... Your setup is great. However I have a 2002 to Chevy S10 pickup with extended cab. I traveled with my dog. I removed the passenger seat and used memory foam mattress topper making a bed where the passenger seat used to be. That was awesome. Worked well for me and when I stopped traveling, I had the seat bolted back into the passenger side. Blessings sent!

[@robertbode7214]

Works great for short people. I paused the video and climbed in the back seat of my 2002 f150 extra cab to see what the room is like. Nope! I will continue to sleep in the front seats reclined all the way. Glad it works for you.

[@cjaneAlaska]

I’m short enough to sleep across the back floorboard in a crew cab ford😂😂😂

[@jodycoursey4303]

that was "Son of a Sinner" by Jellyroll. Great song and it is a spiritual song

[@xgonzojack]

That dude is just your average, every day Jelly Roll fan. They are typically weird as all hell but usually quite harmless.

[@ridgetop8161]

Yes. Someone else new the song.

[@badnewsBH]

Thanks for the info. I'd never have found out that was him on my own. 😁

[@sooblunt1765]

Wow you're a jerk! I'm a jelly fan and I'm nothing like that!! Rude!

[@randydavis9324]

Everyone should know Son on a Sinner by Jelly Roll when they here it. But Save Me is my favorite.

[@annmarie7057]

Hi glad to see you do this. I am an older lady who is going to travel and sleep in her car, but as campgrounds. Hopefully I will be okay. Some worries, but your video helped.

[@judymurray191]

I was going to do the same, but some campgrounds won’t allow you to sleep in your car. I was so bummed. I don’t get that if you are paying the same as an RV. Make sure you check that out ahead of time.

[@judymurray191]

I love to sleep when it is raining like that, but I would be too paranoid to have the windows down.

[@alanclarkson1921]

Luke, I had to laugh! I'm a retired Walmart driver. They always suggested that we stay at, or behind a store at the end of our day. Now you know why I never did! 😂🤣

[@cathybutler4532]

Love your videos for years. I have stealth camped all across America in an suv. Walmart and cracker barrel are my least favorite for one reason. No 24 hour bathroom, lol.

[@sammybrown4680]

Your videos are calming and easy to enjoy and very educational.

[@sheilasunshine9173]

Guy can’t be all bad singing a jelly roll song 😂 My husband and I love car/ truck camping. Queen blow up mattress fit perfect in the back of the excursion. Really virtually “glamping” but still fun and comfortable most importantly! So many forms of camping and I love them all

[@shirleyhall1924]

The fact that there's a soft rain really helps. 😊

[@danielmccort8366]

Nice video. Here's a tactical tip. Driving at night turn your dash lights down as low as possible, really improves your night vision. Plus doesn't light up as much when stopped in traffic.

[@whiteclouddakota1451]

That is Herbert the Walmart Clown, They keep him around to keep the weird people away 😅😅😅

[@theresabassemier9901]

I tried to sleep once in a parking garage in Chicago, while my daughter was enjoying a concert but couldn’t sleep from the noise of people getting in and out of their cars. The things you do for your kids, lol. Another great video, Luke. Now, it’s time to watch Susie’s tent video. I want a hard shell taco, now.

[@heather7588]

Loved this stealth camp…a refreshing change

[@AuntMaryNC]

I think I'd be more afraid of the 4 taco hell tacos you ate than the singing dude. 😅

[@andemess3095]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures and testing equipment and sharing the facts and truth brother

[@patcowley6378]

i slept at a Walmart for months...no problems ever... heard some voices near my van on a few occasions ...got buried by a snow plow once... but otherwise no problems... it was nice to have a store 300 feet away , and a secure lot to sleep in,,, i remember my walmart days with fondness...

[@QuitKickingTheCan]

I’m not sure why I like the stealth camp vids so much but I do....and yes I do get a kick out of Steve’s vids as well. Cool stuff Luke 👍

[@Lost_AtSea_]

Lol I’m currently watching you from a Walmart parking lot. Just made some Philly cheesesteaks on my butane hot plate for supper and now laying back on my baby crib mattress in the back of my Ford Escape compact suv! And I’m 5,10 180 lbs man.

[@jdtallant3751]

Just watching you eat Taco Bell tore up my stomach. You, sir, are stronger than I. 😂😂😂

[@josephinebustos8074]

The last time I ate Taco Bell in Flagstaff, I had really bad food poisoning which ruined my plans to go on an helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon.

[@elizabethapfelbaum1240]

Taco Bell is my favorite cheap food but have learned not to eat them outside California. Had them in Quartzite AZ, never again.

[@scuffedthings530]

Not only yours. But mine rather because its 03:00 am and im super hungry 😅

[@Shawn_of_Koffee32]

I eat taco bell with ginger juice infused water, the ginger helps prevent any bad taco bell stuff.

[@farstrider79]

You need to eat some fiber more often if taco bell hurts your stomach. Its no more gross than any other fast food, and at least there is an option of some sort of vegetable in the food. It's my go to for travel fast food. 🤷‍♂️

[@ralphbernieri3362]

Done it back in the day, Kmart, and Farmer Jack parking lots...even an IGA, but never alone...at least one of my friends, and armed of course! Coffee and grain bars for me...

[@diggerblair7460]

Always a good day when we get a video drop thanks so much

[@Sully380]

You are slipping. You let your inner road rage show at the end of the video. I can relate. I drove the capital beltway for 35+ years and people really don't know how to drive there... Good video. I have a 2004 Tacoma and have slept in it many times not like you of course, I reclined the drivers seat and that was about as good as it got. Liked and commented for the algorithm.

[@smkwhatsnext3411]

I've never tried but I don't believe I'd get a lick of sleep in a walmart parking lot I'd be on high alert

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

I had the same thought....creepy singing man would have had a pistol in my hand🤣

[@naezro]

These road trips feel so relatable to me. I've spent so much time living out of my car a small corrolla and had my fair share of sketchy momments.

[@glennwatson3313]

I was driving to Florida last week and at 2:00 AM I noticed several giant motor homes parked for the night in the Buccee's parking lot.

[@caspercattrell1598]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The lack of Taster's Nasty content was balanced perfectly with a little hard-shell taco action. Love it!

[@unlimitedj06]

You went to Walmart on the wrong night this night was karaoke night. 😂😂😂😂

[@gheslop3440]

Luke, I dont think Ive witnessed you doing a stealth camp before and it was such an interesting concept. Im used to you in the wild, by yourself and not in modern day scenarios. Really enjoyed this and hope you do more.

[@covergirl7086]

Lol. This was a lot of fun.. A camp out in the truck on a rainy night.. nice 👍 thanks for the tag along.

[@HoldFastLife]

[@deborahelliott8460]

you are NOT alone with those weird nights. I have had some doozies myself! Some entertaining, some dangerous. But God sure has his hand on me.

Always at least one weird occurrence in the overnight Walmart stay. Like empty parking lot and someone decides to park right next to you with their car running. Or the car with no muffler going in circles.

[@Cryptidcataloger]

The best car to sleep in is a Toyota Corolla hatchback!. Passenger side seat down, I could sleep very comfortably. I was going coast to coast, using my blanket, pillow, dark bottle and for hygiene, my planet fitness membership for bathroom and showers. Food, actually jersey mikes.

[@grayrabbit2211]

Prevost Car is the best for sleeping. My fav is.right above the generator. The gentle purring of the diesel generator puts me to sleep every time.

[@sherry8894]

Good ole Walmart. I would totally park in the lot for the night, have a relaxing night, but only if it's raining lol... You were snoozing away and you looked comfy 😴 Looks like the man singing may have been homeless. That makes me sad for him. Great video Luke! Stay safe. Sending good vibes from Ohio ❤

[@PhamVans]

I used to always sleep at Walmart when I first started doing the van life, but after about 3 years on the road now, there's much better options out there. Google maps is your best friend, the satelite imagery can show you some great alternatives my man. Way too many people roll in and out of Walmarts, can't really have a good rest there.

[@LightUpNancy]

[@keonisan]

I used to travel the south for photography purposes, sometimes staying in some rural parts of Georgia. I can't emphasize enough the importance and quality of staying in a motel, vs the car even if it's a fleabag motel. You have access to a shower a toilet and a bed, it doesn't have to be fancy.

[@dustyroads834]

When traveling cross country I’ve always preferred sleeping at rest areas. In rest areas there’s really no reason for people to wander around unless they are walking their dogs or are up to no good. Also I’ve noticed that a lot of law enforcement patrol rest areas in the middle of the night. As goofy as it sounds I always sleep fully dressed with my boots on.
