Super Stealth Camping 👀 Solo Wild Camping - Close to a Road but Completely Hidden

Probably my stealthiest camp yet! I made a low-lying shelter with a small tarp and trekking poles and disguised it with camo netting and leaves. When it was finished, I could barely see it.. perfect to hide me from the country road that I was camping close to

The feeling of freedom when you're a Norwegian and can camp everywhere you want in uncultivated land (even private) as long as you're more than 150 meters from inhabited buildings.

[@benedikthassel]

damn that would be nice. im from germany and it's awful here. there is little to none really natural wood. and every 50 meters is a path

[@AudunWangen]

@@benedikthassel I knew Norway was pretty wild an untamed, but it was not until I went on some longer vacations in my own country I realized how remote and desolate it can be. I rode a motorcycle for 2 days on gravel roads without even seeing a human (except when I had to get gas). Let's hope we can keep it that way, and not ruin the nature we have left. I've seen very uplifting videos on habitat and ecosystem restoration, so I don't think it's too late.

[@jipasd]

The same in Finland. It's hard to imagine having to hide from view. That being said, she got that camouflaged way better than we ever bothered in the conscript service.

[@jwall3873]

Guess you're not a landowner... Oh, did I say a bad word?

[@AudunWangen]

@@jwall3873 That's so very typical American. I do own land, and never had an issue with people on it. We have a cabin and land right next to a popular hiking trail, and people sometimes camp there. They stay one night, politely ask to use our outdoor composting toilet and well for drinking water and cooking. Then they clean up after themselves and move on the next day. I don't see the issue. Maybe people where you live are not that considerate. The neighbor own hundreds of acres of forest, but she's very old and don't get around much. We pick cloudberries, blueberries and lingonberries, and go on her land sometimes to watch beaver, foxes, owls, hawks and eagles in their natural habitat. You get so much more than you give. Isn't that cool?

[@Eschguy]

A good meal will forgive a bad day. When I was working as a guide, we always planned killer meals in case the day went to hell, people would go to bed remembering a good dinner, or wake up to a great breakfast.

[@yeepersmeeper]

ummm... the first thing the military teaches is not to camp under trees with large branches over top. Just takes a decent gust of wind to snap a dead branch from up high, for it to come crashing on your shelter. Just be more aware of that next time maybe.

[@isuckatguitar6252]

Or just move to Scotland...we have the 'right to roam'. No need to hide.

[@andrewhodgkins2292]

As a soldier in the 1980s we were taught how to make a two man shelter from two waterproof ponchos and a couple of stickz. The end product looked very similar to your creation but instead of using a pole to raise the roof we dug down. The soil was placed around the edge of the upper poncho to lose the edge and to ensure that no water got in. It always did though.

[@kevinmoore2929]

Same training here(90s). I was SO happy to see a stealth camper finally utilizing camo netting, even though it didn't completely conceal her. For real "super stealth" camping, ditch the lantern and only utilize a headlamp with a red light setting. Gather some sticks or branches to help camouflage the opening where your gear was or get another section of camo net and cover both openings. Consider replacing your top tarp with an 8'x8' one to provide you protection from unexpected rain/snow.

[@mowensmd]

[@stevestruthers6180]

Many decades ago, I was a reservist in the Canadian Army. Our ponchos had snaps on them so we could join two of them together and suspend them using a thin rope or paracord and turn them into shelter halves. Then we would attach guy lines to each corner of the joined shelter halves and secure them with tent pegs that we'd been issued.

Hi ,new subscriber here Love the camo net . Look into the buffalo systems sleeping bags... ( made in Sheffield) Low bulk ,WARM WHEN WET OR DRY .. can be stored forever fully compressed . Pertex outer skin , works either any bivvy bag ,best purchase I've ever made ... out performs any other sleep system anywhere ... full system rated to minus 100 c Fully modular for all season adjustability . From Brazil to Antarctica. WORKS WHEN WET no down bag can match this performance. Even out performs wiggys bags from Canada. Great video.

[@thefeastingman5634]

On screen it looks pretty invisible. The downside with tarp off the ground is that it makes straight-line shadows. So if you really want to be invisible during the daylight you also have to have the opening of your tarp touch the ground. The disadvantage to camping in a lower point is that you turn your camp spot into a bathing spot when it rains.

[@Skiamakhos]

Yes, was just thinking some kind of camping cot bed for the if it rains scenario, second camo net to go over the entrance. It'd raise the whole thing a little but if the tarps & camo nets are big enough to smooth out the silhouette it should be good.

[@mercedesvalente8154]

If you are scared to be seen by daylight because of the harsh and therefore unnatural shapes you can smooth the edges out by using the leaves off the ground and some mud to create the illusion of a whole in the ground as well as a pile of leaves…

It's nice to see girls that really get into camping.

Nice job on the fun camo camp setup Claire! I love camo netting, its great for a base layer of concealment. In basic training we learned to hide ourselves and our Army vehicles with it. Weave a handfull of grass or branches into it hear and there to break up any straight line silhouettes. Especially horizontal lines, which are the most out of place lines in nature. Thats how our eyes are drawn to a deers back or a cabin roofline in the distance. Nice getaway, thanks for sharing!

The camo was marvelous. Divot = puddle if it rains; I tend to camp on a rise for better drainage because sure as hell, it IS gonna rain on me. People driving seldom look to the side and wouldn't notice you in a tent. You'd be well enough hidden in that wooded area. I also envy the absence of insects. Nothing buzzing in your face or getting in your food or eating you during the night.

[@parrotraiser6541]

The camo net was a perfect match to the ground cover. The tarp was close enough to the ground that it didn't really reveal unnatural outlines like straight lines or circles. A branch or two stuck in the ground or on the net might help obscure geometric borders even more. You earned a good night's sleep.

[@Gollybone]

Amen. As a resident of hectic lifestyle in the heart of an overflowing town, I crave getting out into the stillness of nature with only the bare essentials. Trekked 50 miles alone along a river in late autumn of 2020, sick of being inside, passed through rural towns and villages, saw plenty of wildlife I'd only seen in cartoons, and slept in nature's bliss, all in a snow-skirted 3-man, layered in thermals whilst my toes went numb in my "four season" sleeping bag. It was a challenging time, the circumstances that brought me outside were dire, but the thrill and accomplishment of the adventure made every day an outstanding experience. I'm proud of those moments, surviving in nature, it felt like something I needed more of. I hope I can do it again soon.

[@matthewpocock4824]

@Radiquirl_Zest excellent. Life is for living! We live on an amazing planet - you just have to search out its beauty away from the concrete jungle.

[@mysabahTV]

It looks fun! But it's a terrible idea to camp like this in my (tropical) country, I would wake up with snakes, ants and many bug in my sleeping bag. 😀

[@flyingdoctor99]

We dont have too much dangerous wildlife over here. But I would not dare to put up my camp in a ditch, unless there is a complete dry forecast. I woke up way to often in the wet. ;)

As a long haul backpacker and mountain scrambler, take caution. Prepare for avoiding ticks, lyme disease is very serious, causing long term health problems.

[@hArtyTruffle]

That camo net is awesome! Like a real life Harry Potter invisibility cloak 😮 It’s truly the most stealthy camp I’ve ever seen.

[@carrier6517]

I would have to agree with you healing hArt

[@hArtyTruffle]

@@okaeT To live stealthily and in the wild is to live somewhat dangerously, but well worth considering. Have you said that to Claire? She might not have considered that.

[@pavel9652]

Jeep reminded me situation when I was walking in the forest 10 years ago, wearing black, in the middle of the night, with NVG, stealthy, along the forest road parallel to nearby tarmac road. At some point I noticed approaching car, but wasn't sure on which road because there were passing cars in the distance and intensified headlights seen in NVG even from behind of the trees tend to flood the horizon like it was scene from nuclear armageddon movie or something, and the car was around the corner. I decided to hide in the bushes next to the road to see what happens. With NVG I was the one who decided about encounters ;) They zoomed pass me with a non-trivial speed! It was funny and scary at the same time ;)

[@midnightwaterdragon4725]

​@@okaeT That's why I like to be close to some trees and rocks minimize that possibility

[@Exposedaudit]

I was just thinking imagine a Deer or even a person treading on you and wondering what on earth is going on. Why is there a person hiding underground. Great video Claire 😂

[@andrewfairweather1340]

Loved the camo netting. So effective, so fast. With a little bit of merging around the edges it just disappears. Very tempted to try this myself. Haven't camped for years but love it. Would love to know how you find/select your camping spots but then I guess you'd have trouble escaping the crowds! Keep safe and enjoying the great outdoors. 🦌👌

[@WildBeare]

It's so good isn't it 😍 I'm gonna get some green netting too for summer, great stuff. I look at maps to find places that might be suitable and go investigate. Thanks for watching :D Claire

[@nickryan3417]

Yep, it was easily visible before the edges were merged. Throw on a couple of tufts of green and it would truly disappear

This reminds me of the childhood fun of building secret "forts" with couch cushions and blankets, but with a lot better gear, and greater complexity and seriousness added to the still childlike fun of it all. Your magical disappearance at the end accentuates this!

[@danielduivenvoorden9399]

You’d love camping in my country Australia,it’s pretty wild. It’s cool how you can camp on the ground without the worry of Bull ants,jumping jacks also a nasty biting ant,scorpions,massive spiders that cause possible death,deadly snakes,ticks,leaches,wild dogs,wild pigs,bushfires and floods. The mosquitoes are insane among other flying stinging insects like European wasps that grow very large. I really love your videos very entertaining thank you.❤ Your attitude towards life is very refreshing and extremely positive and certainly makes you want to go camping. Cheers again and look forward to new vids you make😊 From 🇦🇺

[@knucklesamidge]

We do have ticks! That's the only worry because of lyme disease.

[@jamesspalten5977]

If she is doing this in the US, there are venomous snakes and other things.

[@keithallen5670]

As an Infantry Marine this looks great. You chose to emplace your hide in defilade and lucked out with your cami-netting matching the leaves. If you plan on doing this again I recommend you gut some brown paracord and make tie-ins randomly on your netting so you can add natural veg from your surroundings to the top of it to conceal yourself more.

[@colomtnhigh77]

Lovely video and great camping advice. I really like how you seem to enjoy the simple things 😊

[@robertwalley6692]

Great video, I only question your use of white light, red would have been better. Not so easily seen and better for your vision.

Lol. And when it rains she lay in a 20 cm deep lake. This lady is the best fail producer. Keep on going!

[@marksadventures3889]

Excellent video as usual Claire 👌 most people don't see whats right in front them anyway- too glued to their phones. Good stealth moves.

[@pavel9652]

Are people glued to the phones when walking in the forest or is it just unrelated trivia and generalization?

[@marksadventures3889]

@@pavel9652 from what i've seen yes, lady stood with lead watching phone dog miles off worrying sheep she was lucky it wasn't destroyed by farmer- that's a legal right of farmers to shoot dogs worrying their livestock. That's one on many examples I've seen.

[@pavel9652]

​@@marksadventures3889 Still a hasty generalization, until you demonstrate this is what most people do. Your example is anecdotal evidence.

[@garyblucker3206]

I'm not sure anyone has ever made a bug net look cute before, but you did it! I love your videos Claire. So peaceful, so relaxing and your voice is very soothing. Oh, and you're absolutely gorgeous too....

[@WildBeare]

Aw thanks! That bug net is a godsend, particularly against the naughty slugs 😄

[@RickINFJ]

This was a stealth masterclass. 😊 This was so cozy! Reminded me of making forts with sheets as a child. Love the stealth shuffle Claire. Have a great weekend. ✌️

Yehh, feels just like that, I love it 😄 thank you Rick, hope you have a lovely weekend too :)

I love how everyone has been seeing these stealth camping videos and then go out and do it as well coping what they saw 😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@fionamcormac7786]

Love your set up. Very focused...there's nothing like it waking up to a natural environment....blessings

[@Catspurrlounge]

Excellent set up. The dead leaves and debris you added is always a plus. netting alone is not enough. This is a very good example of a stealth set up. As far as light security, I have found that covering your light with masking tape will defuse it and tone it down. Even red light. Found your channel by accident. now one of my regular follows.

[@gregggiddens]

Now that’s what you call stealth camping, nobody’s going to find you at night with that set up 👍

[@PL-es1zq]

Hi ! I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel! Your videos provide such a pleasant experience, I almost feel like I've been on a camping trip myself :) Thanks for doing what you do!

Nice low profile tent. Bet wind doesn't blow it over either. Last year, camping the dam wind kept blowing over my tent.

Woman, you've done one hell of a job and probably the best camo bivy I've ever seen on KZbin period. Much impressed by an old infantryman.

[@joanjackson5825]

Oh my goodness girl this idea is out of this world! This is the best stealth camp ever! Camping with Steve used to be the bomb when it came to stealth camping, but I think you just out did him😂

You'll soon be stealth camping on roundabouts, Claire! lol Well done! The camo net is very effective!

[@justalurkr]

I'd have two worries. 1. Might the divot act as a basin if it rains? 2. The camouflage is so good, what's going to stop someone or their dog from leaping into the leaf pile? 😅

[@jaydeepshiralkar954]

Yes 😂, I also worry about someone may detour from the road nearby and parks car on this

[@jay70328]

​@@jaydeepshiralkar954 Yep, happens all the time mate. People just drive their cars through the fence to park in random fields.

Maybe a deer steps on you in the middle of the night. Or lions, tigers and bears! Oh my! Or worse yet, Jack The Ripper or the Sheriff of Nottingham. Or attacking Vikings, raping, and pillaging. Or the occasional wild hog rooting for truffles.

[@1155727]

@@jay70328 - I'd be more concerned about MTB riders like myself going for a night right, and riding off trail deliberately, as you sometimes do. I do have great headlights, but this camo is so good I would ride right over it! If you don't believe these things happen... someone I know was going for a night MTB ride in the local forest. He had no working lights. But smart as he was, he thought, first, there won't be that many people riding in the middle of the night, and second, even if they were, what were the chances that the other riders wouldn't have lights?! Turns out, stupid as he was he did not see the obvious - if he could think along his twisted lines of reasoning, surely there was a possibility that there could be further local idiots thinking exactly the same. And sure enough, he found one of these other idiots at a trail intersection - by crashing into him at a decent clip. They both looked so much worse for wear after that incident. He was off work for a while... Moral of this story? Never underestimate the stupidity of other people. If you think you are stupid, and nobody else is you are wrong. If you think your are smart chances are you are not really as smart as you think, and there will be more of the same kind around.

[@Plentisaki]

You do realise you're going to wake up one morning in your stealth camp and find an old fridge, a busted mattress, bags of builders rubble and a rusty wheelbarrow plonked on top of your bivvy by fly tippers! 😊

[@skttnm]

Used to make low hooches with my issued poncho when we could tactically do it. This takes me back to those days. Way to toss leaves on the camo netting. Nice vid! But watch out for the rain in low depressions! I've also slept in puddles. Body heat eventually warms them up but guard duty meant crawling back in the puddle and starting the warming process over again.

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

Excellent video. I'm so looking forward to getting started in hiking and camping. You are definitely an inspiration.

What a great stealth camp - I think someone would literally trip over the tent before they saw it.

[@GerOffYeWeeBastard]

Steve camping in a roundabout is pretty hard to top.

[@FlyWithMe_666]

I would be too scared to sleep under this super-stealthy tarp - a person or elephant might not see it and just run over me.

[@bramdriessens5942]

Elephants are actually quite the problem when wondering the outskirts of London. An easy way to counteract these pests is to bring a mouse in a well ventilated packed lunch box, as everyone knows that elephants are scared of mice.

[@winter.aaron.m]

Ive done this probably 30-50 nights over the years, this setup is a bit lower than I would go for condensation reasons, but bivy+tarp+camo netting is a combo that works if you are comfortable with the 'exposed' feeling of tarp camping and you select sites appropriately for rain.
