    As you allude, Time is the best camouflage. I only stealth camp in Summer, and I go by bike. Recce the camping spot in daylight, then move well away to a neutral space ... maybe a mile or two. That's where I prepare my meal and hot drink. When the Sun is well down, slide into the chosen spot and make a cold camp. I use a hammock, exclusively, nowadays. Up with the birds and move well away. Takes no more than a few minutes to pack hammock, bag and tarp (if used). Again, find a neutral space in which to prepare food. No fires. No torches. Google Earth is wonderful for preparations. Not as much fun as having a hearty fireplace, but it has a pleasure all its own. In respect of red lights. You might be surprised by their visibility, even at long ranges. I've spotted a guy at well over half-a-mile, who was using red light in woodland. It would make a good video, if you experimented with various light sources. Oh, and my top tip for stealth camping ... leave the dog at home!

    A tip on the Dakota fire hole is to dig the main hoke with a bell shape being wider in the bottom than the top. It creates a chimney effect that draws air through the air hole even faster making a hotter burn meaning less smoke. It also makes it easier to cook on, all you have to do is place a couple of decently large rocks on the sides of the hole and manure them so that you pot rests on them. You could also use green sticks but when they begin to burn they will give off smoke.

    One advantage of the Dakota fire hole is that, after you cook/etc. with it, you can fill the hole back in and set up your tent over it. The heat that the earth has adsorbed will slowly seep up and keep you warmer.

    Have been stealth camping since the mid-1980s and the best thing I bought in 1993 was a Trangia meths-burning stove. I still use it regularly 30 years later. It's slower than gas but it's silent and you see no flames. You can also use this inside your bivvy/tarp or tent if you are careful. There is less waste, too, as I calculated that 1 litre of meths can cook as much as 5 gas cannisters.

    Couple things I've learned about stealth camping: 1) just when you think you've found a great spot, someone will come by; 2) get up before dawn, and by on your way by first light; 3) remove any reflective material on your clothing or gear; 4) check out a possible camp site when it's still light out, because sites that seem stealthy in the darkness can be quite conspicuous at dawn; 5) avoid staying in one spot for more than a day, but if you do, have one place where you sleep and a different spot to relax or hangout.

    I've learned that about cold-temperature bags. For example when snow-camping in the Swiss mountains, you should stuff the bag in irregularily. But warm-weather sleeping bags aren't that delicate and can also be rolled up - they don't loose much isolation. Yet still I stuff them in, because I never seem to get them to fit in the bag when rolling.

Ramming it into the compression sack any way that fits, and storing it in a 5x larger no-compression bag when not in use, is the best way to keep it in peak condition. Same goes for tents and tarps. They should be crumpled irregularly. Repeated folding patterns in transportation and storage create weak points over the long term.

    Stealth camped a couple of years ago in a small wood and the farmers decided to come up the road and do some hedge trimming until about 10.30 p.m. That was a bit nerve-wracking. The previous year the police were chasing someone near our camp in a small wood. Helicopters, flashing lights. Heard a motorbike whizz by, saw flashing torches from my bivvy bag. I thought "Okay, this is when some psycho holds us hostage." On both occasions everything was fine and no one appeared to have spotted us. Didn't sleep well though. All part of the fun!

    I just used a kid sized dome tent from Walmart when I was a hobo. Bright green and yellow but it was very short, and I could sleep in it diagonally. The main thing is to stay out of sight, set up late and pack early. The only thing that's really hard to hide is a car. Anything else can be camouflage if you find the right background. For food, lots of honey roasted peanuts and sardines and apples because those things have a lot of calories and don't get dinged too bad it make a mess in the pack. Ramen if I could get away with a fire - it was a treat. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    Two more important tips I learned while living on the road, overnight urban camping while on long bike rides and camping in areas that it wasn't legal. One, camp in a crappy spot that has some cover but hard to get to, not particularly scenic, full of nasty sharp rocks, thorns and other deterrent foliage. Two, dress like a bum and carry reliable but crappy looking camp gear, hide your ID and act crazy but non violent so if you do get caught by the authorities typically they will just tell you to split and not cite or arrest you. All they are after is money and they don't want to deal with a smelly looney bum. Even my expensive custom made all titanium mountain bike I used ride all around Southern California with I uglied it up by spray painting it flat black, put 99 cent store lights and accessories on it and even some duct tape on my expensive prostate friendly gel seat to make it look torn and worn out. The few times I got spotted by park rangers or cops they just told me to beat it or be out of there by morning.

    I think you have to be careful with the Dakota fire hole (3:10) that the roots of the surrounding trees and shrubs don't rekindle/maintain the fire after you are done.... At least in regions where the ground is dry. It is possible that the roots act like fuses and carry an ember to a fuel source. From what I understand, such a root fire can last for over a month before flaring up again. It is tedious, but a lot safer to line the walls of the pit in stones or cover it in a coat of clay before you ignite the fire. It's not that relevant in middle and northern Europe where the soil is damp year round, but good to keep in mind for other regions.

    One thing about rolling up the sleeping bag+bivvy in the rain (or even heavy dew) - if using goretex then when rolled up your sleeping bag is likely to get wet. So you should build some time into the day when you can separate them and dry them out a little - sleeping in a damp sleeping bag can be pretty cold and miserable. I generally pack around dawn, set up camp around dusk, but have a nice long snooze around noon somewhere where I can pitch up a cover and dry things out a while. Hadn't considered camo netting - but I was really impressed how well it worked! That said, I didn't have a hoop in my bivvi so it was slightly less necessary/obvious. Others have commented about being careful about roots (and peat!!) for sunken fires. I'd go as far as to say that in general it's just best not to have an open fire when stealth camping - smell, sight, potential loss of controls, ashes, etc - I just don't think it's worth it.

    My "stealth" camping experience was when I lost my home in hurricane Harvey, I went and asked the owner of a gas station if I could sleep behind his building. He said sure and even gave me his phone number in case police ever harassed me. They never did. But every night, I'd go to sleep after it got dark, and I'd be out of my sleeping bag the second the sun started coming up. I stored what stuff I had left in a bush nearby, and then I promptly began searching for work to get by. I then started working for a couple people who let me stay on their property while I worked to help them rebuild a property they had just bought. After that, I had made enough money to leave Texas and go somewhere better. 😂

    Camped in a small camper car (slide on camper) for a year in the wilderness. Best tip I ever had (and you mentioned) arrive late, leave early. Although nighttime is black, I mean so dark you cannot see your hands or feet in front of you! So other than using bright torches, you kinda have to know where everything goes in the dark. It might take say a month to be truly comfortable being in pitch black at night. Whilst I love the forest, my absolute best was finding hidden heavily bushed areas near the beach. I found the perfect location on a beach cliff, my vehicle completely hidden under an umbrella of all that beach bushy stuff. Absolutely wonderful sleeping basically right on the ocean (but safe up a bit on the ledge). Clearly not a road, just drive into the bush until the bush is too thick. (Yes I had to reverse many times on these extreme narrow tracks, which was hard). I also did the same on mountain edges, but generally avoided these when I noticed the 'tracks' weren't really meant for campers (some very close sheer drop edges). Deep in the forest is the safest as even lonely beaches get people(early morning fishermen) coming throughout the year! Which is the most scariest thing - other people! EDIT// Found a beautiful riverbank area once, totally isolated, off the track, and just this ideal patch. 50 miles from civilization. So I did my normal thing to scout around the perimeter a bit (once I found an old (100 yo?) ship no where near the beach?) Its fascinating the things you find. Anyway, I followed the stream up a bit, and saw one of YOU campers in a very shallow tent! Clearly I wasn't going to stay anywhere near some crazy man out in the middle of no where! So I packed up and went 20kms down the road. Pays to scout around your area too. But I have hundreds of scary stories camping in the wilderness for a year.

    Red light is perfect for not being seen st night, you can also use blue...or blacklight I've used both out at night. Best to keep the light facing downward at all times..... The keeping a low profile is definitely good idea because you never know what is out there..... If you got some time it would also be advantageous to make a few pitfalls in and around your about a foot square with sticks over them that way if someone tries to sneak up on you at night they potentially can fall into one of these pitfalls alerting you to their presence.... If you're not worried about being seen you can take lots of small sticks and brush put it around your camp area.... And this can act as an alert system people stepping on it and snapping twigs.....

    Another good tip is to carry IR night vision goggles of scope & scout the area at night to look for any trail cameras. They generally use infrared lights to capture images of animals at night which make them easy to spot with most modern night vision equipment. If you are going to be relying on an alarm to wake you consider in investing in a watch with a vibrating silent alarm. They are generally a lot quieter than the vibration from your phone and have batteries that last much longer.

    @@dndjxnskdbajd4561 have you ever seen a cigarette while wearing night vision? It's like a signal light lighting up the sky. If that's what a cigarette looks like, imagine a Dakota fire pit. If you're really worried about getting caught, don't light a fire. Eat that food cold and carry some water purifying tablets or a purifying straw for water. There's very good reasons we weren't allowed to smoke while on guard duty and why we were never allowed a fire in the Army. Even if we are in sub zero weather and sleeping outside.

    This works because the human eye has two different types of photoreceptor cells, 'rods' and 'cones'. Cones give us colour vision and are concentrated in the center of our retina and help us see fine details. Rods are pretty much the opposite, so are better at detecting low level light (where colour isn't important) and for peripheral vision. Hence the retina has approximately just 6 million cones but some 120 million rods. So it's actually much easier to just look to the side of such an object, rather that "focus on the space beside the object".

    In 1998, I did a 5000 mile bicycle trip from Seattle to Fort Lauderdale. Stealth camped most of the way. After riding all day, sometimes we would get stuck in places with no campground or anything around. I remember one night we were out in the desert on a highway, maybe New Mexico. There’s nothing but a gas station. And a short gravel road that ran behind the store for may be 500 feet and dead ended at the desert.. My girlfriend and I rode to the end of the road, and then walked way out into the desert. well over a quarter mile from the highway. Around 1 o’clock in the morning we hear a four-wheel-drive pick up truck that had driven out into our area and they were spinning around doing donuts in the dirt. We had an olive colored tent, and it was virtually invisible in the dark. I was just as worried that they would see us as I was that they wouldn’t see us and run over us. It went on for about 10 minutes and they left. My girlfriend was very pretty. It was really nerve-racking for me. We were extremely vulnerable. We got lucky that night. There were a handful of moments like that over the course of the whole trip, but we made it home safely. And we were on the receiving end of many complete strangers total generosity to us. We were invited to stay on peoples properties or in their houses multiple times. This one couple offered to buy us a dinner at a lodge in Yosemite just so they could hear our story. Anyways, we stealth camped in all kinds of places. In Texas we camped in a huge cow field with oil derricks. When we got up in the morning and were putting the tent away, I found a couple of tarantulas that had snuggledup against our body heat outside the tent.😂 In Biloxi, we camped in a huge graveyard, going back to the 1800s. We went out into the middle of it and pitched the tent under a big oak tree. Slept like a baby. Good times. We stealth camped in Yosemite one night, and we woke up to a bus load of Japanese tourists. They were filming us like we were wildlife in the park. 😂The day we left the Grand Canyon, it was late in the afternoon, and my shifter cable broke on my bicycle. We decided to stealth camp because it was so late in the day. We literally brought our stuff right to the edge of the canyon. We woke up to an amazing sky before the sunrise. It was pink and purple. We were literally 25 feet from the edge of the canyon and we had the most amazing view. The tent was pitched, and our bicycles were leaning against a small dead tree. I stepped away about 50 feet of and got a beautiful photograph of our bikes and tent with the canyon and sky in the background. In California, I think it was around a place called Rio Dell, we stealth camped at a place called College Park. It was nothing but woods and trails. It was on the ocean, but there was like a 75 foot cliff. We found this one little spot where we had room to pitch our tent right on the edge of the cliff. It was almost dark, and foggy when we got there. We could hear seals barking all night long down on the beach. We woke up to another picture postcard view. Yeah, stealth camping beats a campground every time. OK I’m done.

There might be some restrictions in regards to actual camping, but at least you can hike wherever.

    I've slept 'under the stars' a few times, mainly on and around Leith Hill just outside Dorking, Surrey and no matter how far I bury myself into the wilderness, before I get my head down the one thing that makes me feel uneasy is this: people walking their dogs. No matter how stealthy you are or how far off the beaten track you are, if some dedicated local wonders into the vicinity, his or her dog will smell you a mile off. I'm not THAT bothered about it because most likely I'll be woken up by the 'death of a thousand licks' a waggy tail and lots of barking. It's just that when I do this, it's my feeble attempt to take a break from humankind and I could do without the embarrassment of trying to explain myself to an officious local, bleary eyed and at 7 in the morning. Thumbs up BTW ...much appreciated information.

The tubing is maybe 1 inch when folded, but 8 inches when unfolded. 2) Nightlight of the best kind, buy a small travel handle-free light-umbrella for photography, It has inbuilt light. If you place the umbrella on the ground, face down, will no light be visible at all, only if you lift it slightly will there be light underneath the umbrella. Plenty to read with and takes no space in your back. :-)

    With cammo netting it's worth setting up a couple of poles around the edge of the netting to create 'lumps & bumps'- otherwise anyone familiar with hooped bivvi's will recognize the shape as being a hooped bivvi beneath a net. For tarps, I've used agricultural sheep marking paint to make a DPM pattern - spray the paint into a paper plate and then dab a sponge into the pooled paint and then dab onto the tarp. Agri paint isn't as harsh on the tarp as other aerosol paint (as it's to be used on wool) - but it's colour palette is limited. On torches - the factoid I used for people is 'The human eye can detect a match being struck at 10 miles distance'.

    In Boy Scouts we learned a variation of the Dakota Fire Pit, where a 6” trench is dug with the opening under your shelter (no using tents) and then flat stones are placed over the trench with earth over the top. So you have 3 holes: 1 vent, 1 for the fire, and 1 for the warm air. And for the fire, it’s built so flames do not crest the ground, and is largely coals (so you can cook but also don’t make much smoke so you don’t smoke up your shelter). We tried it on a 100-miler Canoe Trip and it was amazing!

    So, I have done some of these things on several job trainings, where staying somewhere was off budget. I feel a bit vulnerable looking like a heap on the ground if I’m honest. I opted to eat gorp, and jerky, and use a tarp and hammock some ways into the forest.

    great video and some good info just one observation from me is the use of black tends to stand out quite a lot in nature and is often darker and sharper than dark shadows etc. So if your going to use black then try to keep it to a minimum. Browns, greens, some shades of grey are ok, as for the cam nets be sure to use them the correct way around believe it or not there's two sides to a cam net one side for winter and one for summer you will notice this if you look at the side which is more dull and matt colour that's the winter side , the more bright and plush looking side is for summer ,its these little things that can be the difference between being caught or not, one of the biggest reasons for being seen id colour change i.e. using the more black colours will draw the eye from the natural colour, and the cam nets thing again use the wrong side and it will look different to the rest and drawing the eye, but probably the easiest way not to get caught is to find the most inaccessible area around you this is a combat indicator that nobody will regularly walk that area and less likely to get bumped, then you can be tucked away with lower risk and enjoy your stealth camp without worry,

    Just stumbled across your channel and to be honest first I thought "yet another wannabe bushcraft guy". But THANK you for not being that! I like your calm way of talking, how straight you get to the essential points and telling things as they are. There are too many drama-queens out there who describe every raindrop, any temperature below 20degs and any potential wildlife nearby as a grave danger to their lifes. I got soo tired of those. 🙈 I have some military experience and been enjoying sleeping outside ever since. These days I live at the Arctic Circle which brings some extra challenges when sleeping outside, but I will enjoy two weeks weeks of stealth camping in Southern Europe end of September. Your video now made me look forward to it even more 🙂

    If you use greyish brown camo netting, you can always add local foliage to make it blend better.

    awesome video! we practiced some of this stuff in the army. we weren't allowed camp fires though because even then some of my knuckle head friends almost started wildfires. our MRE's had a water activated heating pouch that got really hot. I think they are pricey though but it maybe worth looking into. I also had the sarcophagus tent, as a civilian, which was great for packing but a nightmare for changing clothes in during the rain. stay safe out there.

    I have gone stealth camping twice this year: with a "regular" one-person Jack Wolfskin tent. Even set it up, while it was almost dark 🙂 Twice in quite wooden areas (I hope the creature I heard crashing through the brushes at 3AM, and that I kind of heard snoring very nearby wasn't, a Yeti, lol.) In my country it is illegal... Getting caught would mean a (big enough) fine. Arriving late and leaving (very) early is a good tip. The camouflage netting is a great idea.
