Parking Garage Stealth Camping

I camped for the night hidden in my SUV in a parking garage, or parkade depending on what you call them. I needed to apply for my passport and the lines are notoriously long unless you're there first thing in the morning. Let's be honest, first thing in the morning is not my friend so I decided to camp out to be there bright and early. The garage was quite hot, but the camping was nice and stealthy.

[@sloppywood707]

😂😂😂

[@BadMelody.]

As a security guard, here are some points to keep in mind. Those guards were obviously on auto-pilot, it didn't even seem like they were checking for the parking passes. This definitely isn't going to always be the case. 7:56, opening in the fabric on rear window 9:39, light is clearly visible through fabric. flashlight would see through. 18:07, opening inside fabric A flashlight could probably easily illuminate the inside through the fabric you were using, and even if it couldn't, you left a lot of openings where someone could have peeked through if they wanted to see inside. I've circled around a car for over 10 minutes because I thought there was a possibility that someone was sleeping in the car, but I'm not gonna call the police unless I'm pretty sure someone is actually in there since it's extra work for possibly nothing. The draped fabric over the two front seats is a red flag. If I see that, then I'm gonna try and see if there's anything behind them. If you make the drapes a little more tidy, like connecting them to the top of the car instead of just kinda hanging them over the top of the seats, it looks less suspicious. You walking by multiple times is also a point of suspicion. Couple this with the fact that your windows are slightly opened (we know this is one of the reasons why people might leave windows ajar), and your car is more likely to get looked at.

[@avishjha4030]

Why is this even a thing? Why does security need to checkout if some is sleeping within, as long as they have paid for their pass? Very foreign concept to me.

A tip for any stealth car camping situation. Get those window wind and rain guards for your specific vehicle. Not only can you leave the window cracked open an inch or two and no rain will come in, but also from the outside nobody can tell that the window is cracked open.

What I love about your videos is the creation of tension and "stealthness" that in reality, has no real justification. A friend and myself drove across Canada, and found backroads, Walmart parking lots, etc, and either pitched a tent, or slept in our car, without once being interrupted and asked to leave. We even ended up putting a tent on a trail in BC, that had dog walkers and runners early in the morning. We slept on golf courses as well. Never were we afraid or had to be "stealth."

I hear you on the city thing...too much human density and buildings, traffic, noise, etc. I am 69 and grew up in a semi-suburban area, on a road where the minimum yard was at least an acre and a half, a couple of actual farms, and lots of vacant land all around. Meadows, woods, creeks and all the stuff that made for a wonderful childhood. No streetlights or sidewalks, not even curbs on the road! Just plain old Macadam: tar and crushed stone, compacted by a steam roller. High entertainment to us! Even better was when the road crew came back and painted the lines! Our 'stealth camping' was in our backyards. The stealth part was sneaking up on other kids doing the same to try and scare the daylights out of them! Crickets, tree frogs, and lightening bugs at night, under a sky with a star field that went all the way to the horizon. Kids nowadays don't know what they've missed.

Haha, this is how I’ve attended several conferences and guitar shows. Last time was the Victoria Guitar Show, I parked downstairs in the parking garage and paid the 24 hour fee than slept in the back of my van. Had a little bed, cooking gear, foodstuffs, it was awesome. Minivan has tinted windows and I picked an obscure corner spot with a pillar on the other side. Totally loved it.

[@LordMelbury1953]

I used to do that going to downtown Vancouver and playing at the Yale Hotel.

Steve in a closed car ... eating cabbage ... brave, BRAVE man

[@campingwithsteve]

no pain no gain

[@Neur0nauT]

Reminds me of a night-shift years ago, with me eating a few Onion Bhaji's on my break. Quite tasty it must be said. Later on - an hour or so later. Went outside the office for a bit of fresh air, walked back in and nearly threw up with my own stench that was left emanating from me. My colleagues felt the same way that nightshift. Onion Bhaji's banned in the office the following day! eating Cabbage/Onion = Eye-stinging stank!

[@Ma77hewChristian]

I love this! I worked in parking garages for 10 years. From my experience our security guards really really didn't care about what went on in the garages. They would do their rounds every hour, talk on the phone, play video games, and occasionally partake in step twos or 420s lol. Overall they were there for show, they knew that, and didn't mind at all.

[@JohnMChew]

This scenario is when a plain-jane minivan with dark tinted windows would come in handy. People never even give minivans a second look or a second thought. There is also more head room, and more leg room

[@swag31556]

I love the little smirk that comes across Steve’s face when he realizes that his stealthiness passes the test.

Good to see you still at it man!!! The depressing partnof life is that tomorrow will always happen until it no longer happens.. But the joy of life IS THAT TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER THAN TODAY.

[@scottw.3258]

I love these videos where you're stealth camping in areas with people around, or more specifically, security/police. It's as though you're planning the crime of the century. The way you check them out, keeping tabs on their movements, meanwhile they're completely oblivious to the cunning plan going on around them... I just find it hilarious. Keep on keeping on, Steve.

[@LabTech41]

I used to work security, and I'll say this much: sometimes it's a judgment call on whether something's genuinely worth your time and potential risk to bother with. Like, even if that security guard knew you were stealth camping, and that was technically against the rules, it is REALLY worth it to try and take some dude into custody or make him leave if all he's doing is sleeping in his car? If something more serious is going on, that's one thing, but a lot of things regarding security and enforcement is a gut check as to whether the juice is worth the squeeze. Also, can I just say, it's nice to see a major city that actually takes security seriously, instead of taking law enforcement for granted and then seeing things fall apart into lawless wasteland.

[@neilhosler9001]

We recently had a security guard killed in a parkade in Edmonton confronting car theives. So that security guard is not likely to do anything with that in mind.

[@opossumgrylls3275]

You're not security if you don't have a gun and vest, you're just a low paid target.

[@LabTech41]

@@opossumgrylls3275 Yes, well, not all people working a security gig can be certifiable badasses like you. Also, not for nothing, but a gun and a vest are no guarantee against getting got.

That's what i say leaving the bar thinking of taking a woman home. Is the juice worth the squeeze😂😂

Security is always a game of how involved do you get. Been doing it for 7 years and I pray every night is a quiet one where people don't get me involved.

[@mythiclords3175]

❤ my dad Steve would say "To the Universe!" And I very much salute you in this same way Steve. Thank you for all you do!

[@benrenner4446]

Hey Steve. Great video! I've slept in my van a number of times for various reasons. Look into something called Rain Guards for your side windows. They stick to the door frame and overhang the windows by about 2 inches. You can crack the window a bit for ventilation. No one knows the window is open and no rain gets in.

[@SmashAdams216]

I get really happy to see you, Steve. Thanks for always being here. In honor of the man himself, I'd like to think we in the US are the "Crazy Neighbor" to you in Canada.

parking garages are such a safe place for me when underground. The stillness and tucked away feeling is fantastic. Used to find 24/7 ones in small towns that didn't get patrolled much and smoke joints and watch stupid tv. was such a nice escape.

This is my first time watching his videos, but the level of paranoia brought many much needed laughs and smiles to my face. He truly acts like he’s committing a serious crime, and I believe that he truly thinks he is. Very entertaining video. I also that he gets his rocks off doing this. He could be doing so much worse. He’s actually putting smiles on so many faces. Thank you brother.

Camp in different types of RV's Steve. The types of campers, destinations and situations would start a whole new adventure.
