    Looks very nice but feels very odd for myself being from Finland. You can literally drive 20min outside of Helsinki to setup camp in a place where nobody passes by for weeks or months, perhaps even not during a year and if you're somewhere outside the capital region, finding empty woods is probably easier than finding people 😂

    That is excellent camo for sure. My only critique would be the ditch. If it were to rain, that would not keep you dry because the sides of the ditch would direct the rain down into the bottom. But for a clear night like you had that was a PERFECT stealth site.

    Dear Claire, as always, thank you for your beautiful videos.❤
    After looking at the number of views for your various types of videos, I see that I am in the minority so far as the type that I prefer. I do not see the purpose of stealth camping unless you are homeless, a secret agent, or an invading Special Forces soldier. I do appreciate and most enjoy the videos where you go on a multi-day trip across beautiful territory, with ample streams or ponds to take a drink or a dip, starry nights, sunny mornings, endless vistas, and when you are able to stay warm and dry. I very much love when you express gratitude for the beauty that surrounds you and for the path you have chosen in life. I also enjoy the videos where you encounter difficulties, but persevere with your wonderful attitude and sense of humor. I watch, but feel sad when you are wet and freezing and uncomfortable, but I understand that is an important part of the experience.
    Thank you so much for what you do and for being an overwhelmingly positive presence in our universe. Maybe I will go hide under a bush in my sleeping bag next to the local bike trail for the night and find it exhilarating! ❤ 🌲🌲🌲

    Excellent concealment, however, this can only be done in dry weather... One rainstorm that that ditch is going to see her doing the Watusi Fling to get that tent pulled up and do an emergency setup on higher ground...Still, in good summer weather, this is a great stealth setup ;>)

  • @parrotraiser6541

    Great camo work! Somebody should make a tarp with irregular edges for this sort of thing. Still, beware of water courses, like ditches. You don't want to do a George Washington and camp int a place that turns into a river in the middle of the night. If it's dry at the bottom, and there's no forecast rain, you may be safe, as this time.

    Been stealh camping all my life! Leave no trace. Lol. Even with a vehicle backed into shadows a simple crosshatch of limbs wit foleage inserted will conceal camp/vehicle.
    Only thing with the china camo is it often lights up under night vision, also avoid normal detergents/fabric brighteners for same reason. I use a brown/green reversable fabric camo punch/ no netting that runs $25.00 for 8'x20' sections. Great for tent/tarp, car, kayak.
    Looks like you've mastered the principles. There are many amusing times where people can be as close as 20' away and unawares your there.

    Hi Claire, maybe consider using a voil backed mat of some kind, to lay on, that would stop heat loss on damp ground and send you body heat back into the sleeping bag...stay safe.

    Great job with the camo netting and tarp set up. I was in the US Army for 7 years and had plenty of practice with camo netting over tents, vehicles and generator sets, I was in communications. That said and I don't know how much this would affect filming, but to go truly stealth, when we were on field exercises, we would use red lights inside the commo vans and red filters for our flash lights when moving around after dark. We could see fairly well but others couldn't see us until they were very close. Again, not sure what that would do to your filming, but when camping close to paths, less likely to be seen if using that. As always, love your videos. Stay safe.

      @WildBeare it is indeed so much fun. I can't say EXACTLY were i go, however, I'm pretty local to a certain village that holds the guinness record as the most haunted. And as there are plenty of ghosts with so many places to stealth camp, it's my main tarping place(s) at the mo, but I do want to start going further afield. If you ever fancy some ghostly stealth tarping, give me a shout lol 😆

      If you have a folding camp shovel you can actually dig a trench to guide any potential rain water to run around/away from your desired spot. No doubt it's possible to do with your hands if needed and without tools.

    This is sort of how I camp.. I use a 10x10 Camoflaged Tarp so I do not have to use that extra. I just fold the Tarp in half and lay it on the ground. I have a 5 ft x 10 ft shelter. I use all the Clips, Rope and Stakes to keep it in place. I do a short Fold at the Bottom and clip it shut with maybe two clips along one side. I use short sticks to prop up the interior and remove them at night if I wish.. I also sprinkled leaves all over the Tarp to add to the Camoflage.. Water and Rain proof.
