Escargot should be the snails name😂

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

Awesome camp bud and I'm always excited to see Tuna Creations make an appearance!

[@smallplots]

Haha thanks man! I took inspiration from one of your vid titles, I hope you don't mind 😁

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

@@smallplots Dude of course not! I do the same thing with you sometimes.

[@VA3WFT]

Tuna creations and a Jordo Wally shout out? It doesn’t get any better than that.

[@smallplots]

🕺🕺

[@lindalyons6372]

Always so entertaining. Dinner looked superb 😃 love me some tuna creations.

[@Curt100]

Good stuff Kevin!

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Camping behind REI makes re-supply so much easier....it's kinda genius, I must say ! Nice one Kevin.

[@NovaScotiaSouthShore]

A Tuesday night is the best with small plots. Thanks for taking me along Kevin.

[@smallplots]

Any time!

[@pavelusa3423]

Gr8 pick of music kevin along with the rain and verdure..thanx bud..straight ahead that's all she wrote

[@shawnforpresident5198]

I for one am stoked to see this new hammock we keep hearing about!

[@smallplots]

It's highly spicy

[@DaneWZ119]

That’s a cool ditch! Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work.

[@smallplots]

Thanks for watching!

[@rickthomas3344]

Camping in the rain is the best

[@smallplots]

It really is

[@brendablystone9615]

amazing to see you again small plots always enjoy watching you're video

[@smallplots]

Thanks, Brenda 😁

[@papasmurf1904]

Thx Kev for a few minutes of sanity for my anxiety racked f-cked-up mind!

[@LazerR0cketB0mb]

What a great video!

[@smallplots]

Thanks man!

[@immiegee]

Here in the Netherlands it hasn't rained in over a month. Everything is bone dry. And it is hot, between 25/30 degrees celcius. You are a tough guy to sit in the ditch in the pouring rain. I always love your camping adventures and humor. Irma from the Netherlands

[@SQWIB]

That's not foam, the tree rubbed one off on ya when you weren't looking😂. Awesome video Kevin, thanks for bringing us along, but it just seems odd to see al that rain and no Sam Bananas. Wheres Jordo Wallly is a riot.

[@JB6Lights]

That woods was beautiful and kinda magical in the rain 🌧. Well Done Good Sir.

[@smallplots]

Yeah, really cool spot

[@richardenders9348]

Steve the Snail...You can say you are camping with Steve. Hey, that has nice ring to it. Enjoy!

[@smallplots]

Ayo!

[@edwardbenton4428]

Snails 🐌 name...I vote Oscar

[@mikucenci]

Your vids are always great !!

[@smallplots]

Glad you like them!

[@Cloud13m]

Good one

[@petesashlyn]

I love tuna, I like wraps, it seems really convenient for camping and hiking, but my brain is thinking weird thoughts about what flavored tuna is like. I'll make the leap someday.

[@mtfreeman800]

Kevin, I’m so sorry I missed the premiere, up to my ass here south of I10, literally in alligators doing repairs on structures that tug boat captains can’t seem to see on the Mississippi River, commercial diving sucks sometimes, but thank goodness for Small Plots, (almost every Tuesday night) to wash everyone’s sewer off. With the beverage center. Cheers buddy.

[@smallplots]

Whoa that sounds intense 😬 thanks, Michael!

[@randyhaight7202]

Slugs love beer. It's a common gardener trick to lure them into a beer so you can get rid of them. Great video, thanks!

[@WildCaptures]

I’m freaked out by all the ticks this year and I was told good things about the Sawyer brand Permethrin. My buddy works in state forestry and they treat there clothing with it. I’ve been very careful this summer and I still got bit 😡

[@simpleoutdoors1]

ya the ticks have been bad here in ny for the past 3 years, deer are loaded with them, havnt seen them loaded with this many before the past couple years, but only 1% carry LD anyhow.

[@WildCaptures]

@@simpleoutdoors1 Very true I can’t imagine how full of ticks the deer 🦌 must be.

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

I love that ditch Kevin. Always enjoyable.

[@smallplots]

Thanks Joe! The ditch is my favorite

[@cal2607]

Great ditch boys.

[@steveyoung9522]

Kevin, can’t wait to see the new hammock and transportation with a thing was a dope ending!!!

[@michaelsargeant5923]

Love all your hard work. From your friends across the pond 🇬🇧

[@smallplots]

Thanks, Michael 😎

[@michaelsargeant5923]

My pleasure 👋

[@murda2999]

A very "spicy" Kooking with Kevin episode. Is sure beats throwing hotdogs directly onto the fire!

[@smallplots]

Haha what!?

[@donaldtimmons1472]

Hey Kevin! I’ve been watching all of your videos. I love urban stealth camping. I do it a lot. I like traveling by bus to strange towns and destinations, having a blast and stealth camping (occasional hotel if necessary) in cities I visit. Jump a bus with a full pack and see some places. I also meet more people like this. One thing you need is a stealth camping partner who can cook.😂. Those sandwiches and Tuna are getting tired. Cooking dinner is my favorite part. You are also correct that rain is makes it fun. Thanks for the videos. Also, bring some peanut butter whisky!

[@ruirodrigues9122]

Came for the stealth camp...stayed for the snail

[@smallplots]

Pappy!

The snail looks like a Willber to me

[@smallplots]

Mmmmm

[@kylied932]

Wow a new hammock !!!! I’m stoked 😊😊😊😊😊 G’day from Australia 👋🏽

[@The_Malaka]

I dig the Gordon Ramsay-esque description of the culinary masterpiece that you prepared. Best part 🤣🤣🤣

[@steveyoung9522]

Yes!!! I love when you go there because my daughter is attending The University of Rochester and I’ve been to that REI lol 😂 hope the air quality improves!!! The rain should clear some of it lol

[@smallplots]

That's awesome! Yeah the smoke was only really bad for a couple of days last week

[@terrencegibbons3351]

I love the sound of raindrops

[@chrishodges6259]

As always great stuff, love the Jordo Wally shirt, he is awesome! I'd name the snail in homage to Jordo..."Squigly Downunda"....or Fred cheers!

[@BD-dg8wm]

Greetings from the south western highlands of Idaho 🖖😎

[@Northwest3dDesign]

New Hammock!? what! hype!

[@smallplots]

🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@John_Long]

Great episode Kevin! That was some serious rain! Glad you caught some of the action on camera! Also, great spot for a stealther! I agree, REI should totally sponsor your videos, lol. Well, until next time, have a great week my friend! Cheers!🍻🥷🏕🤘

[@smallplots]

Thanks John!

[@salvatorebaleno9807]

All of the nice dry days we had and you ended up out in the rain. Im surprised there isn't a presence of homeless in that area. Anywhoo, thanks for another great video.

[@smallplots]

They're around, just no specifically where i was. Definitely tents and carts around

[@Brokmod]

Hi, I'm Kevin and this is Snail plots. Awesome video as always!

[@John_Long]

You should call him stripes (the snail) and I'm SO TOTALLY STOKED for that NEW HAMMOCK!!! Why must we wait?!?! What is this fresh torture you have devised, where you tease the product for months and months...WE WANT IT NOW!!! lol 🌴🍌🌴🏖

[@John_Long]

@smallplots Hope that wasn't TOO much enthusiasm...lol

[@smallplots]

Hahaha whoa!

[@whitedwarf9090]

Damn it’s been awhile. Glad to finally see a vid🎉🎉🎉

[@randomadventures2.0]

Awesome video Kevin really enjoyed it

[@smallplots]

Thanks so much Tony! 😁

[@wafflesnfalafel1]

very nice - we used to go to the original REI store before it kind of evolved into the larger "outdoors" brand. Don't let that beer get wet! Cheers sir.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

Slick!! Good Snaily name.. lol Good Wet stuff Kevin!

[@johnscottmills1414]

Sidney the snail . Great video again,shame about the weather,but great to watch. I hope that all’s well and that you’re having a great time today,all the best john from,Sheffield,South Yorkshire,England,Great Britain

[@ciliciaann3504]

Thanks for the camp along! 😎👍

[@MegaSusanc]

Hey there, Kevin. Sorry so late to comment, but this video was awesome as always. I'm stoked to see the new hammock, woo-hoo. Man, it gonna be sweet, oh yeah! ❤ I can't wait till you reveal it. If you haven't already picked a name for your snail buddy how about "Zippy" lol I wonder if the fox ate the jalapeños seeds from when you scraped them out lol maybe that why it was making that noise 😜 😂 lol never know. Wow that slug was huge 😳 and very thirsty 😳 Yikes 😬 😳 could you imagine trying to take a drink after it crawled all the way inside of the can yikes 😬 😳 that would be insanely gross, yucky 🤮 Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures And for all the hard work and time you put into these videos. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗HUGS🤗

[@enriquemartinez5619]

Ahhhhhhhh ,,, another Small Plot production Ohhhh how I miss thee…….

[@landofthefree2012]

"Riding the storm out". I've heard that somewhere. Cool, Kevin

[@Northwest3dDesign]

Hey Kevin! I missed you man!

[@smallplots]

I'm back!

[@Northwest3dDesign]

@@smallplots Sweet man! Be safe!

[@zacwhite1368]

Omg I love that song!!❤️” by the dear old old river rhine” same year my great gpa white was born 1911.❤️ oh this is my favorite song now and I’ll play it a lot driving back home soon lol. Love your videos brother and I just found your exploring one of the Monte Carlo dash , office building with lights on and old dial tv , few grocery carts and oh that binx bike looked like it got dumped from the bridge and omg that deer that scared the hell out of you ok I can continue on with everything you explored 🤣cause I’ve always love doing that stuff since I was a kid oh gosh in the 80s. My Gma has 80 plus acres of woodlands and meadows and I’d go out with my red Ryder BB gun , pocket knife and her Doberman boots , she was my best buddy ever and VERY protective over me and we would go out exploring the woods and I’d listen for the old school bell get rung meant it was lunch or dinner time or time to come back up to her cabin home her and her deceased husband built in the late 70s❤️. Great great great times in the 80s growing up down there and early 90s but now I’d not take a BB gun. It would be little more high powered stuff cause bears are back in Ohio amongst extremely rare cougar sightings that seem to get swept under the rug lol. Any who! God bless and small plots mega fan here.🥰🤓sweet shirt too!!

[@dennislindenpellinge]

😁👍 Love it ! Thanks Kevin !

[@smallplots]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chrisclendenin1832]

Try adding some Fritos to the tuna burrito?

[@RNX001]

Stoked for a new hammock!🤙🤙😬🤙

[@smallplots]

Woooo!

[@mxdr65]

Really enjoy your videos and the concept. Do know many of these areas too. I work at the airport and see the billboards and forest every day. Very cool!! Looking forward to more content this summer. Beverage Cheers!!

[@smallplots]

Thanks for sharing!

[@farmhouse43]

Found you through Sam Bananas, love the content so far! 👍

[@smallplots]

Thanks, farmhouse!

[@bmwman63]

Jerry Foam: the worst foam of all! Thanks for the video Sir. The snail looks like a Paco to me.

[@smallplots]

Paco!

[@perfectweather]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@suzanneogata3000]

Not "Pappy" for the snail but "Snappy" I like your videos when you solo stealth camp. Your music is different, yet it so fits 😊

[@davebern8e716]

Kevin, I bet that snail would be good with tuna creations!

[@smallplots]

No doubt!

[@ericlepovetsky5309]

Kevin great job!

[@yooperwsdm]

What was the name of that old song from a 78 starring at 10:56 I remembered my grandmother playing it.. thanks

[@inertiallychallenged]

3rd time in that spot I believe. Fun times!

[@biffbouse]

Small Trails

[@plutoplatters]

something about doing this behind an outdoor store !! ha

[@Off-Gridiot]

Yesssssss 👍

[@cindysmith9364]

Love camping in the rain 🌧

[@smallplots]

Me too!

[@jamesrockford6700]

Next time you go back there - there will be a hundred hot pepper plants growing from that seed drop

[@jannettemoutdoorsdollhouse]

Fantastic live Kevin 🎉❤

[@smallplots]

Glad you enjoyed it 😎

[@atrociousone8803]

My guess for the foam would be a type of fungus association with the tree Probably a type of mushroom. Just starting to bloom and show itself. . .That would be my best uneducated guess!

[@Mumslad]

You are really underrated

[@thederpmeister8948]

I want to push the "like" button, but it's at 420 likes now and it would be blasphemy to ruin it! Thanks for the vid, Kev!! I really enjoy these!

[@thederpmeister8948]

Finally someone pushed the "like" button so im not the one breaking the 420 xD

[@mxdr65]

Have you heard of, or considered the area around Holley Falls? Nice gorge there that was caused by an earthquake in the early 1900s.

[@RightHere12]

Sheldon…. da snail

[@smallplots]

🕺🕺🕺

[@whoever6458]

I'd name the snail Curly, mostly because our snails around here don't have that pattern of circles on them and are basically solid brown in color.

[@dakapbj]

Life's a ditch and then you camp in one...in the rain...under a tarp sorta 😅

[@smallplots]

True, true

[@brandonmurphy8408]

Great beard man props!

[@daynadiggle8169]

The snail ? I like FAST EDDY !

[@vannerdherd]

do you have a game camera? you could set that up to get more footage while sleeping, cheers n beers!

[@smallplots]

I do, been meaning to use it

[@vannerdherd]

@@smallplots oh coolio!

[@oscaropont]

I'm stoked

[@sandydee8003]

The snail’s a girl. Mustang Sally sounds like her name? I’m back watching from the start. You had 405 views so far. That’s a lot of people Kevin👍

[@smallplots]

Haha thanks, sandy!

[@NFH577]

I don't know if said the foam seems like that's the soap tree you can crush the bark with water to create a soap foam.

[@lukekillian5398]

I don't know how to explain but 23:43 is giving me embarrassed Kermit the Frog vibes.

[@lostsheep664866]

Would love to see a new hammock maybe a hammock with the to little tent polls to keep the screen off u that’s the one I have been looking at

[@laurenweisse9858]

Your a trip!!!Pappy!!!!lol!!!

[@Ricej_678]

Tough one, only a 1/4 mile from Costco and Dibella’s

[@raymondcoonce3762]

Made it up to Utica last week and looked for a Space Kitty but couldn’t find it anywhere. Had to settle for a local Utica Club Beer but was good.

[@smallplots]

Nice! I've been several times

[@raymondcoonce3762]

The Canada forest fires was bad last week.

[@save_nature_now]

22:31 looks like Gray Catbird ❤

[@davidsimons5944]

Hi Kev. I'm checking this out later, but just to let you know if you don't already, that Glen from stealth camping adventures is back & has just made a couple more vids. He said he'd had problems & it had been a while, but didn't elaborate. I like the guy so I'm glad he's ok. I missed his stuff as I would yours.

[@smallplots]

Oh awesome!

[@davidsimons5944]

It's a pity that Glen (stealth camping adventures) doesn't allow comments. He needs encouragement from viewers that appreciate him & his videos & it's frustrating not being able to contact him.

[@whoever6458]

That foam-like stuff is most likely some type of fungus. Couldn't tell you for sure which one though.
