Definitely one of the best Kevin. I love hammocking next to water. Beautiful green scenery, and the rain made the adventure much more adventurous. You northerners are tough. Here in the south when we get wet, even in the summer, we shiver like chihuahuas. Congrats on 5K. With content this good I see you growing exponentially very soon.

[@smallplots]

Thanks Joe! That would be awesome, you never know!

[@rehenhawksmusic]

Cheers Kevin brother for another exquisite episode of Small Plots you rock mate !! ❤

[@smallplots]

Thanks Henry!

I got rid of cable tv little while back and I'm glad I did. These stealth camping videos are legitimately the most exciting things to watch. You and Sam are my two favorite channels. Again I know everyone love Steve Wallis as he's the OG of this but you and Sam are so fun and comical to watch. Tuesdays are the days I look forward to coming home from work and watching your channel. I'm gonna stealth camp one of these days been dying to try it. Anyways cheers Kevin keep up the good work and congratulations on 5k subs! I'm from Massachusetts so pretty much same weather as you anyways take care man

Wow farting, thanks! Cable tv sucks

Loved to see how it looks like to camp in a late summer rainy day around Rochester. 👍 Rain, wind and thunder sounds great to have a deep sleep, don't you think?😉

[@kseanmcfarland]

Love the "Ooh, something smells good around here! Somebody's cooking, I can smell it!" as you walk past a toilet you probably didn't notice at the time.

[@randyhaight7202]

Dude. This is like the 500th time I've seen you get soaked in the rain. Get an umbrella!! Great video.

[@smallplots]

I don't think they have those here

[@Tacos4EverOfficial]

I would’ve guessed you had more like 50k subs - you’re definitely gonna get to those huge numbers, camera quality is fantastic and you’re a great personality!

[@pacificpeaks7004]

Great video! makes me want to go out and stealth camp! Looking forward to the next one!

Another totally awesome video Kevin. So peaceful. Loved how you camouflaged your head with a couple leafs 🍃 just in case. Can't wait till next Tuesday! Have a good one and Stay Frosty my friend.

[@smallplots]

Yeah, that was tactical of me

[@jeffersonspace]

Thanks for taking us out camping. Seems like the more hard fought the adventure the more you remember it down the road. Regards

[@smallplots]

I agree! I've heard it described as "type 2 fun"

[@whoever6458]

So far, this reminds me so much of the time when I was riding 30 miles to a friend's house on my bike along this lovely bike path next to the river. I had also checked the doppler and forecast, which said it was supposed to stop raining. So when does it start raining a lot, well, it's when I had no shelter at all. To make matters worse, it just so happened that the front tire of my bike shot a stream of dirty water from the bike path up and, not just into my face, but exactly into my eyes between the top of my glasses and my face. I mean, who has this happen!? So I finally stopped for a while once I got to one of the overpasses. I checked the radar and realized that it was just going to keep raining so I kept going. I ended up riding my bike with my head way off to the side so as not to continue getting dirty water into my eyes from the front tire. Then, when I got into the next city, I decided to hop on the bus instead of continuing to ride my bike in the rain. Luckily, I had already stashed some extra clothes at my friend's house so I tossed my very wet clothes in the dryer when I got there and put on some clean, dry clothes.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

Love that forehead leaf.. lol!!! Great Stuff Kevin! I always look forward to stuff like this and you're one of my favorites!

[@hoboontheic]

After a long and crappy day at work watching a new Small Plots is a good pick me up. Thanks Kevin for another awesome video.

[@smallplots]

Hey, hope things get better for ya, hobo!

[@ajd7772]

I love the rain. The sound of it makes me feel safe and feel happy. I know I sound lame but I wish it rained all the time!

[@smallplots]

No I totally agree 😂

[@whoever6458]

I love that you got leaves stuck to your head! Epic! One time, I shaved my head with a bic and, not only did I get a very rare for me sunburn, but my fucking pillow kept getting stuck to my head. I'm sure I also had leaves stuck to my head at some point too because I got the sunburn out trimming trees for my mom.

[@johnscottmills1414]

Another awesome video mate. I’m enjoying your videos,I’ve seen all your videos now. I can’t wait till next Tuesday

[@prismaticowl]

I do like me a good rainy day... except for the lightning, power outages, and both mice and ants seeking salvation in dry interior places. But y'know, aside from all that, I like rain! A slow, gentle, day-long rain is the best weather. I'm from a tiny little town that seems to hate sidewalks, places to sit, and shade trees, so I don't get out walking/hiking as much as I'd like, so I never get to enjoy a rainy city day. Always nice seeking out those sights in videos like this. Here's to many more milestones in the future! 🍺

[@smallplots]

Thanks owl! 😎

[@jeffreykreiley7265]

Really enjoyed this one. Recently went kayaking with my daughter at Turning Point Park. Pleasantly surprised how nice it was-the river, paths, and metal boardwalk. (Hint, Hint)
