Stealth Camping In Highway Median

Headed out for a quick stealther in the highway median. It was a nice drive just outside of the city and I managed to find the perfect place. Set up the hammock for a good night of hunkering down. Lots of traffic but was still a decent sleep!

@@ClaytonWillisMusic It was clear that Beautiful Wife was holding the camera in the car at the start of the video since both of Steve's arms & hands are in frame & on the steering wheel, and it was obvious that that is what the other person was referring to (since it's the only part where it happens). You incorrectly said she wasn't holding the camera, maybe you didn't notice or missed that part or forgot, which is fine. However, when several people corrected you, instead of double checking, you kept arguing that you were right when you're not. Chill.

[@Mac_Omegaly]

It's a little harder to find people like that today. 24 years ago, when I got lost in France because my youth group gave me the wrong directions for day 2 of 3 of our outdoor "bike and hike" the police dumped me at this kind woman's house, who i couldn't speak to very well, because she knew a bit more English than the officer, and my French was middle school limited. I showed her my camping gear, but she insisted on me using the bed inside the guest room. The next morning I was then arrested, handcuffed and driven into town, released from the handcuffs and put on a bus. I arrived at the final check point 14 hours too early. My bike and equipment arrived 3 hours after I did. And a new city officer waited with me until the youth leader arrived and filled out the paperwork. Most of my friends joked that I broke the speed limit because of my extremely fast finishing time. To this day I still don't know why they cuffed me on my escort to the bus. I was a young teen, who just got separated from my group. I thought I behaved well, but maybe the language barrier caused something I said to be offensive. IDK.

@macomegaly5116 way more exciting than anything that happened when I was cycling around Europe lol

[@Mac_Omegaly]

@@outdoor75 well I'm partly to blame, because I got ahead of everyone and was working with the incorrect data. So I don't know where I lost them but it was at least an hour searching for the third landmark that didn't exist in the direction I was traveling before I knew I was in trouble. (One landmark was a fork in the road, and the other was a sign pointing towards Paris. Slightly too common landmarks. Lol) At that point I realized that I didn't have the information for how to get to the next point, and even if I turned around there wasn't anyone left behind to try and follow. I had water, food and my camping gear so I was going to survive the night but I didn't have a cell phone back then. And I abandoned my partner who hated my guts. So I ended up going to the nearest village and flagged down the officer. I could say "I don't speak French." "My name is Mac". And "where is the library?", (Because that phrase made me laugh.) As well as count to 10. I would have been doomed, if I didn't also have a sheet of paper that explains the group I was with and my destination pre typed out in French.

I once knew a homeless man in Pittsburgh who often camped on the side of highways. His trick for not being bothered while walking along the roadway was to wear a Hi-Vis vest and a cheap hard hat he bought at the Goodwill for $2. People driving along just assumed he was working nearby on the highway.

[@philipstaite4775]

Funny how if you look like you belong, so very few people will ever question you. Back in my youth when I had less to lose on several occasions I wandered around in more than a few places with either a clipboard or a hard-hat or both. Add a collared shirt and a couple of pens in the pocket...
