Excellent video brother. I can tell you though because I'm a poor ma'fucca here's where you went wrong with that mac and cheese. You add the water and you let that absorb and soften the noodles and after that there's almost no water left. Then you add the cheese and mix it together and it makes it like normal mac and cheese. You're better at catching cook, I'm better at backpacking quick instant poor-white-trash meals. We could teach each other a few things. 😂 Sláinte!
He also could have just boiled the noodles in the water pot to soften them up then just scooped them back into the container and mixed with the cheese. The water still would have mixed decent in the potatoes.
You may feel like you a poor guy,but let me tell you something, you my friend are richer than you think. Rich people have to worry everyday about keeping everything from being taken away where as you live a life that many of us envy.
i did this once in California behind a Motel Six when hitchhiking down the coast once , i got rained out , and ended up giving up and getting a room . i wasn't fully prepared , later i learned how not to get wet , and learned how to be prepared . great videos ! i love them !
I can tell you for a fact that I really love and appreciate the stealth camping videos! In light of what is going on in this country 🇺🇸, I do believe that these videos are very useful to me!!! Hopefully, they are very useful to all of your followers 😊
Best stealth camping you done so far,and by far the most "realistic" one. The past two stealth camping were awesome but they felt safe. Never did i once think anyone would intrude on you,hence you didn't feel the need to put alarms. This one really feels like stealth camping,you were even trying to hide from security. Awesome stuff James,looking forward to the next one👍🏻
@Section9studio you’re a damn fool lol your cousins live in a motel 6? And the motel 6 staff was perfectly on board with someone sleeping in the lot behind their property risking possible injury, property damage and lawsuit? What would the hotel gain from this at all? And a security guard would risk her job for a guy she doesn’t even know? Quit making up things where you pretend you know things you actually don’t, that’s inaccurate and slander.
As I was one of the whom voted for the stealth camping I am happy you did this. You are a very brave man James. There were peaceful moments but mostly a lot of nerve wracking moments. You put your mettle to the test and came out a champ. I always dream of going in the woods at a moment's notice and pitch a tent and camp on the fringe of urbanites, but I ain't got the balls you have. And I am guessing Cuervo didn't either.. :-)
i already have one, ive used it in past stealth vids, i just didnt see it as the best choice for this scenario. im already tresspassing as it is, do i want to make matters worse by skulking around closed businesses looking to steal water, bringing more suspicion upon me?
@@JunkyardFox It can be good to access a target of opportunity. Occasionally I find faucets in great places, and sometimes the nearest water is over a half a mile away- cities can be odd like that.
Awesome video! You are a brave man and must have an amazing immune system from gathering water at that source. Also. Nalgene Oasis bottles are back in stock! I like to have three different colors on me for camping. Green means "go" and I can chug as much as I want. Blue means "cool it" and I can sip it when I'm thirsty. When I hit my red bottle, it means I'm almost out and to use the water sparingly if I'm not near a clean water source.
Dude! What a night of adventure! You should make more vids like this, especially when it too windy or hot to get out and do your regular kind of stuff. One piece of advice i would give is dont take your boots or shoes off when bedding down, afterall you never know when you might have to jump up and take off running but i really like this video. Please do more like this. Keep up the good work, guy
For the Mac&Cheese... you need to cook the pasta then strain it before adding your melted cheese, that's why they were so "watery soup" Great video as always!
22:59 Lomaland?? I'm from the Southwest too and I appreciate your videos. I used to explore without any preps or self-defense items and knowing what I know now, that was unwise. Your video showing the damages that were done to your vehicle is an eye-opener. I'd rather run into stray animals than people. Stay safe out there man!
I know someone had already mentioned it but yes.With the Mac & Cheese...Add your hot water and allow the noodles to cook. When done simply drain off the excess water and add your cheese sauce. I do this all the time and it works great. Another great video. How about do that Catch and Cook video next? P.S. - Living here just outside of Daytona Beach Florida I have found a few wild Mulberry trees and yes...I LOVE THEM !
That was a super fun adventure with a few suspenseful moments and some delicious food! What do you look for in a good stealth camp location? Seclusion? Riskiness? All three you've done so far have been so unique and fun to watch!
This was a good one! You ran into some realistic challenges with the security lady and all the noise from that warehouse. The water bottle security system was clever. Too bad your cat buddies didn't hang around. For your water situation, it might be good to get one of the two quart army canteens. They come with a case that you can attach to a pack, or use like a haversack. If I'm camping somewhere without access to water, I'll bring a one quart nalgene plus the army one and that's usually enough for cooking, coffee, and hydration.
One piece of kit you may want to add in suburban areas is a tool called a silcock key. It is used to open silcock/water valves around commercial buildings where they do not want people turning on the water. They have tamper proof valves and may be shaped to where a multi-tool may not provide enough grip.
i already have one, ive used it in past stealth vids, i just didnt see it as the best choice for this scenario. im already tresspassing as it is, do i want to make matters worse by skulking around closed businesses looking to steal water, bringing more suspicion upon me?
I once worked at a truckstop and would do semi- stealth camping. No pun intended. What I meant everybody at work knew I am camping in the wooded acreage behind the station. Nice thing was that was only about a thousand away so I can easily resupply as needed. The only promleb I had was when two guys on atv's noticed my bright blue tarp against the fall foliage. That was thend of that season. I fixed that by getting a green one and spay painting my own camo pattern. Had to the same for my hammock. As far as fires go, I use a Dakota firepit. If I am Wild camping and not worried about stealth I'll just do an open lay.
Completely entertained with this VIDEO, ENJOYED the SUSPENSE and HUMOR! ALWAYS ENJOY seeing the STEALTH CAMPING in OUR HOME TOWN, THANK YOU for this CHANNEL JAMES and JUNKYARD FOX FAMILY!!!
My grandma grew mulberry and it was fantastic to pick and eat as a kid... Great video, do more of this for the preppers that want to know how to live off the city land...
I don't know a whole lot about anything but you are straight up captivating in front of a camera. A born communicator and most likely leader as well. Thank you for the content and God bless brother.
Great video, man. I’m watching this as I’m staying the night at a motel 6. Got me wondering who might be stealth camping behind this place now. 😂🤣 Good idea about the water bottles, awesome thinking.
Man, it's been a while since I've commented on one of your videos, but I've just caught up with your stealth camps, and I just wanted to say they were all extremely well done and enjoyable. Will definitely be giving them a rewatch. Now, I do have three tips or suggestions I would like to give you, and whether or not you take and use them is entirely up to you. I also don't know if you do these things off camera or not, but if you do, feel free to ignore me completely, lol. 1. All your stealth camps have been urban so far, but have you considered stealth camping in a state park or something where there's a lot of foot traffic, but you're in the outdoors? You walk in unnoticed, camp unnoticed, and then walk out unnoticed. 2. Have you considered a red light? I understand you probably need the white lights for filming, but a red light would make you more difficult to detect as it doesn't travel as far and less noticeable in the dark. Or, if you don't want to use a red light, maybe the moonlight settings on your flashlights? 3. More of an observation than a tip, but most of those microwave mac & cheeses are made with the assumption that the microwave is going to evaporate a good portion of the water, the noodles will absorb what's needed, and you'll have a bit left to help mix the cheese. The fill line is marked with that in mind. Next time, I would add a little less water than the fill line, let it sit and get absorbed, dump out most of the leftover water, then add the cheese and mix. Just a tip if you go the mac & cheese route again, though it sounded like it worked out for you in the end. Anyway, keep up the good work, man, and I thoroughly enjoyed the stealth adventures.
i already have one, ive used it in past stealth vids, i just didnt see it as the best choice for this scenario. im already tresspassing as it is, do i want to make matters worse by skulking around closed businesses looking to steal water, bringing more suspicion upon me?
Just add boiling water to the noodles and let sit for about 5 minutes. Any water left, go ahead and drain it, and then add the creamy cheese pack. Just a suggestion. One other suggestion, if you don't want the real heat from any pepper, discard the seeds or save them and plant them in your garden for next year's video. God bless bro.
You need to add a Camelbak to your ruck for drinking, and save the canteens for food prep. Should have boiled those macaroni and drained before adding the cheese. Good video.
For the Mac and cheese, add boiling water, cover for 10 minutes. Strain water and then add your cheese and spices for best results. Alternatively if you pre cook the Macaroni noodles and then freeze dry them, they'll reconstitute faster.
With the Mac and cheese, next time try getting the noodles soft with hot water first, then drain the water, add the cheese, and stir. May get a better result.
Those trash trucks that empty the dumpsters are told to raise it up a few feet and drop it back down bcuz many homeless are using them as quick shelters. So they wake them up and give them time to get up and get out. Otherwise they get flipped into the trash truck and compacted with the rest of the trash and yes they have found people that didn't get out and were compacted and were found at the dump site crushed Popped like a watermelon.
good vid I did a LOT of stealth camping in my young years.... I saw the dumpster and thought about that ..yeah it happend to me. For alarms, I would string fishline to cans w pebbles in them it was very effective
Great test of skill. This may be the best stealth camp yet. I'd like to see this more often and in different locations if that’s possible. You could make a perimeter trip cord with the trash bottles and cans as opposed to just scattering the bottles on the ground. Thanks for sharing.
Those pasta shells might have needed to be boiled for a bit. Also, green chile goes super well with potatoes. I made steamed ones to mash. Then add butter, green chile and sour cream, etc. Super good. I didn't know you liked Townsends. I love that channel. Been following them for at least 10 years. Great info, too. What's up with all the shoes? 😳
Nice stealth! Crazy night! Close call with the security lady. Been lightening up my gear this year. Still have the Snake Eater stamped #12. It’s been 2-3 years, and it’s still by far my favorite camp knife. One of these days when I start doing videos again I’ll shoot a long term review on it. ATB Sean
Interesting ... I''ve done some stealth camping but not in town ... traveling and trying to save money between jobs .. camping right outside of town in hidden out of sight places .. I really liked this one
Brooooo!!! The house I grew up in had 2 big beautiful mulberry trees, that was my favorite snack!! Of ALL the mulberry trees I have seen here, to include the one we had in our backyard, that is the first fruit bearing one I have seen!!!
The mac and cheese cooks the pasta in the microwave. Then you drain the water and add the cheese just an FYI. You would have to let the pasta sit a lot longer
Thanks for sharing the adventure. My 2 cents.. use dim lights or red. Add salt to your spice kit. Try going without stove - the smell of your roasted peppers may give you away lol. But it's less gear, smell, and risk of burn from an accident. Salmon packets are good. Heb also sells packets of Indian food, which are a nice variety. I use a foam pad under my inflatable, to protect against thorns, and as backup if it leaks, the foam is something. Would you have rolled up in the tarp if it rained? Maybe good in addition to the poncho rigged over you. For alarms - what about string and bells?
Thats real good vid amigo, you should do more like this when you can. I bet your bedroll on the ground was softer than the beds they have in motel 6 too, i stayed at motel 6 one time and cried all the next day because the bed hurt my back so bad. As far as the food goes, it look good but a military MRE from a surplus store sure would come in handy in that kind of situation. Keep up the good work amigo and keep getting them boots dirty
100% a great adventure, thanks for taking us along . I picked up a couple of shirts a few weeks ago . I always get a comment when I wear one . Thanks again , y’all stay safe .
I am very surprised you did not encounter any homeless people! That would be my greatest concern. I definitely don’t think I could sleep with homeless people around. Definitely not strangers. You had a good stand of wild lettuce growing all around your sleeping quarters! Prickly lettuce and hairy lettuce if anyone wants to Google it. Good security alert would be Tin cans with a few rocks inside with a trip wire system made with fishing line. Enjoyed the video my friend! 👍
yeah i definitley was wart of vagrants or druggies wandering the area when i was laying down. yeah i regret not talking about he edible plant s in the area, the prickly lettuce and london rocket.
Awesome adventure, the cans and bottles was a great idea. Love Cuervo's jams throughout. Two thing I would have done, mix the taters, mac & cheese right from the start, and dipped that overly sweet waffle into unsweetened bitter coffee to balance it all out, haha, the belly wants what the belly wants for me I guess. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! I wasn't at all surprised when the security staffer actually said, "Is somebody in there?" What did you decide about the microwave shells n cheese? I think the only way to make it while camping is in a metal pot or mug. I love Currvo Negro's tunes. I really liked your desert camping video with the Yucca for tarp support. I love the natural foods instructions. THAT alone is worth the watch.
Great video, the water bottle detector was a good idea. Wow 5 cats, haha you beat me I have 3 but I have other animals. So it adds up lol. Cheers, Dave.
i always wondered how funny it looks when you set the camera down and walk away but then walk back to camera to pick it up lol release bloopers and b roll!
Love this video. When I was a teenager I was homeless for a while. I got by for a little bit with couch surfing but that welcome wore out fast. I found myself in parks, and at one point breaking into a garage where someone had some camping gear. I never stole anything and meticulously placed everything back were it went every morning before the family woke up. Not a proud moment but man did I ever get some good sleep in that garage in a fancy down filled sleeping bag. Eventually a friend and his mom took me in. Strange time in my life.
Great video, thank you for keeping getting these videos out! A suggestion for your spice kit is to put some starch in there, I've found that very useful and it would've made that mac n cheese a lot better with very little effort. Quite a lot of calories in a small space as well. Corn starch is my choice. As for alarm systems the personal alarms where you pull a pin is unbeatable. In a small, light and cheap package you get a near perfect alarm system that is loud (and some have lights as well), hard to turn off and can be used in so many ways with just a few accessories like fishing line and magnets. I know people that have used them as car alarms (magnet to the bottom of the car, run a fishing line to a pole or even a ground stake) and I've used them as booby traps for doors, used the fishing line as a trip wire as well as numerous other variations. Depending on what you're going to use it for you need to get one that has a light enough pull, some of them require a fairly hard yank to get going.
A little advise...in the beginning where u grabbed that branch before u started clearing out ur area to sleep in...u could have easily used that same branch and used it as a rake...use ur knife to carve out a lil and it will be a decent rake....second...look into carrying a steel canteen...that way u can boil water if need be.
true, i didnt think about the branch, i do have asteel cup for boiling water that nests with my canteens, its the one i used for making my dinner and coffee.
Once I made a not so stealth sleeping .. by just sleeping at the nearest national bank (yes, where the ATMs are). It was great: cameras taking care of me, great shelter, the floor was a bit hard yes, but ok after all. In the morning a couple of bank employees woke me up with crackers and coffee.. We all understood the situation and I moved on.. Sometimes .. humans just take care of humans ( it was a cold rainy night ).
As much as you like green chili, you could be an Honorary New Mexican! But gotta knock off points for that coffee! Maxwell House is one of the worst supermarket coffees in my opinion. I went through many ways to make coffee backpacking and finally came up with using a small reusable coffee filter that I would add good coffee to (try Seattle's Best #4) and simply dip into my pot of water, just off boil (too hot will bring out bitterness). For car camping I use a small funnel shaped thing that sits on top of your cup and uses #2 cone filters. I like a cheap light plastic commuter cup to keep the coffee hot. You can use the coffee of your choice, and it probably will be cheaper than those pods. Filtered coffee is supposed to be healthier too.
@@JunkyardFox That's true. My method is pretty easy though. Looking forward to first camping trip of the year, maybe next week. Either Aguirre Springs or Cloudcroft area.
Keep up the content bro I’ve been subscribed for about 3 to 4 years (I think) and your videos are always relaxing and dope to watch. Much love and support 💯💯
Love the new video brother and I’m rocking my new tshirt I got couple weeks ago roughly. It’s perfect!❤️ I take velveeta cups on road with me a lot love em but then again my box truck has a microwave versus boiled water over fire lol and those mashed potatoes cups are great too I just have to have butter. That spice kit you revamped is great!❤ omg another reason I like you so much your a cat lover! I’m the neighborhood crazy disabled army combat cat guy🤣. I get other random strays that come by to get a snack and say hi to me even this little prego female lately😳I have a feeling she’ll drop em raise em a little then leave em for me like other mothers have lol. I gotta get back down to Texas a what a burger darn it cause we don’t have em here in Ohio. God bless brother and Cuervo negros music❤ empty water bottle idea is genius! I’ll have to remember that if I ever get myself motivated to stealth camp around my city. I do have a spot several blocks from me I think would be neat plus creek right there area I grew up as a kid and all these years later I been back since 2014. Ok I’m shutting up it’s late and duty calls later today lol. Huh a random black high heel interesting🤣
A woman, Alone, At night, In a Druggies Paradise, Out of line of sight of roads, saying IS THERE ANY BODY OUT THERE ... has the biggest set any woman can have. Also, mulberry is best shaken from the tree onto a sheet. There multiple kinds that can sprout up from the same batch of seed. Ones with lots of colour to ones with no colour. And the ones with colour can either have no flavour or be very intensely flavoured. The white ones are almost always flavourless and super sweet. The coloured ones can be sweet or have no sugar in them. Lots of variety in the experience, and even though you think "oh I want flavour and sweet", not always. You have a tart apple, nice flavour but a little sour and want to make a sauce or a pie with them well then add in a cup of white mulberries, you dont change the colour of the apples, you dont lose the apple flavour, but you do get the sweetness from the mulberry. If you need a sugar source for a ferment but don't have wild honey to harvest, white mulberries are your friend again. All in how you look at them :) and lots of use for them.

Yeah, as soon as he started putting that cheese in there I was crying on the inside. Lol

A great item to add to your tools is a sillcock key, to obtain water from the exterior of most commercial buildings.

More of these types of videos please. So many bush survival videos, hardly any urban ones.
I've been debating about making urban survival videos where I actually live on the street. I'm currently a car dweller for the last two seasons.
Maybe add a poncho liner (woobie) to your wool blanket? Very cool camp my friend 🤠
I absolutely lost it LMFAO when you said "100% Columbian My Friend" ! ,that was a good one .

Good idea about the water bottles, awesome thinking.
Glad it was helpful!
I wouldn't mind seeing a video of different foods you'd make while stealth cooking. What would be the best? Easiest to prepare, etc.
Stealth camping is a realistic survival skill and should be practised more often . Great video . Cheers

I appreciate this video stealth camping is a skill we all need. Life is ever changing and anything can happen.
Great stealth camp, I don't think I could sleep back there, I'd be too nervous. Love the music...
Just add boiling water to the noodles and let sit for about 5 minutes. Any water left, go ahead and drain it, and then add the creamy cheese pack. Just a suggestion. One other suggestion, if you don't want the real heat from any pepper, discard the seeds or save them and plant them in your garden for next year's video.
God bless bro.
Great vid, I really enjoyed the adventure. Cuervos music made it all come together, hope he can join you on the next stealth camping adventure.
MANNNN, you butchered that mac n cheese, LOL! We have all done it. At least yours was recoverable. Good video.
You got that right! though honestly, with the spices and green chile, it didnt taste too bad lol
You need to add a Camelbak to your ruck for drinking, and save the canteens for food prep. Should have boiled those macaroni and drained before adding the cheese. Good video.
For the Mac and cheese, add boiling water, cover for 10 minutes. Strain water and then add your cheese and spices for best results. Alternatively if you pre cook the Macaroni noodles and then freeze dry them, they'll reconstitute faster.
With the Mac and cheese, next time try getting the noodles soft with hot water first, then drain the water, add the cheese, and stir. May get a better result.
Those trash trucks that empty the dumpsters are told to raise it up a few feet and drop it back down bcuz many homeless are using them as quick shelters.
So they wake them up and give them time to get up and get out. Otherwise they get flipped into the trash truck and compacted with the rest of the trash and yes they have found people that didn't get out and were compacted and were found at the dump site crushed
Popped like a watermelon.
Water bottle security hack was great! Where I live you get $0.10 back for the bottles so they don't stay on the ground long, but excellent concept.
good vid I did a LOT of stealth camping in my young years.... I saw the dumpster and thought about that ..yeah it happend to me. For alarms, I would string fishline to cans w pebbles in them it was very effective
Great test of skill. This may be the best stealth camp yet. I'd like to see this more often and in different locations if that’s possible. You could make a perimeter trip cord with the trash bottles and cans as opposed to just scattering the bottles on the ground.
Thanks for sharing.
More to come!
Your alarm system is really smart!!! Good job really liked that idea!!!
Cool video. Beware of scorpions and centipedes. Looks like you’re in the Southwest. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Got the same spice kit, i used some scrap leather to line the top and bottom of the tin to reduce rattle. You guys need to drop a green chili JF patch
I love cats too. I go to my friend's house to stay, Clean the house, play with the cats. A recharge of sanity.
Those pasta shells might have needed to be boiled for a bit. Also, green chile goes super well with potatoes. I made steamed ones to mash. Then add butter, green chile and sour cream, etc. Super good.
I didn't know you liked Townsends. I love that channel. Been following them for at least 10 years. Great info, too.
What's up with all the shoes? 😳
Gotta love those mulberries, got one in my garden that puts out tons of fruit every year
Nice stealth! Crazy night! Close call with the security lady. Been lightening up my gear this year. Still have the Snake Eater stamped #12. It’s been 2-3 years, and it’s still by far my favorite camp knife. One of these days when I start doing videos again I’ll shoot a long term review on it. ATB Sean
I have #14😂
I like these urban stealth camo things
Interesting ... I''ve done some stealth camping but not in town ... traveling and trying to save money between jobs .. camping right outside of town in hidden out of sight places .. I really liked this one
Brooooo!!! The house I grew up in had 2 big beautiful mulberry trees, that was my favorite snack!! Of ALL the mulberry trees I have seen here, to include the one we had in our backyard, that is the first fruit bearing one I have seen!!!
theyre delicious!
Another JYF classic! I think a bivy bag would be a great addition to your kit.
Awesome, I've done it in my car\van...stay safe and keep going
The mac and cheese cooks the pasta in the microwave. Then you drain the water and add the cheese just an FYI. You would have to let the pasta sit a lot longer
Thanks for sharing the adventure. My 2 cents.. use dim lights or red. Add salt to your spice kit. Try going without stove - the smell of your roasted peppers may give you away lol. But it's less gear, smell, and risk of burn from an accident. Salmon packets are good. Heb also sells packets of Indian food, which are a nice variety. I use a foam pad under my inflatable, to protect against thorns, and as backup if it leaks, the foam is something. Would you have rolled up in the tarp if it rained? Maybe good in addition to the poncho rigged over you. For alarms - what about string and bells?
great suggestions!
@@JunkyardFox it's fun to share. check out "pitch black forge" - he has some great advice in his "freight train riding / stealth camping..." videos
Lol seeing that guy walk around with the flashlight, then the spooky music stared playing..😮
Thats real good vid amigo, you should do more like this when you can. I bet your bedroll on the ground was softer than the beds they have in motel 6 too, i stayed at motel 6 one time and cried all the next day because the bed hurt my back so bad. As far as the food goes, it look good but a military MRE from a surplus store sure would come in handy in that kind of situation. Keep up the good work amigo and keep getting them boots dirty
Loved the stealth overnight, I would like to see more of this type of content:)
More to come!
Thank you. I love your stealth camping videos.
Glad you like them! I’m planning an epic 3 day stealth camping vid sometime this summer
Nice one!
The cat probably was: Damn squatters, that's MY home.
Lol true
Cool video. I love the music too! Nice improvising on the bottle alarm system.
Really enjoyed it.
Definitely enjoyed this stealth camp vid. Hope to see more in the near future. Great work 👍
Wow 👏 amazing video production!! Awesome content. You really know how to make us feel the adventure you go on. Keep getting those boots dirty!
100% a great adventure, thanks for taking us along . I picked up a couple of shirts a few weeks ago . I always get a comment when I wear one . Thanks again , y’all stay safe .
awesoem buddy, i appreciate the support! new video coming in a few hours!
That was a good improvised alarm system.
I am very surprised you did not encounter any homeless people! That would be my greatest concern. I definitely don’t think I could sleep with homeless people around. Definitely not strangers.
You had a good stand of wild lettuce growing all around your sleeping quarters! Prickly lettuce and hairy lettuce if anyone wants to Google it.
Good security alert would be Tin cans with a few rocks inside with a trip wire system made with fishing line.
Enjoyed the video my friend!
👍
yeah i definitley was wart of vagrants or druggies wandering the area when i was laying down. yeah i regret not talking about he edible plant s in the area, the prickly lettuce and london rocket.
Awesome adventure, the cans and bottles was a great idea.
Love Cuervo's jams throughout.
Two thing I would have done, mix the taters, mac & cheese right from the start, and dipped that overly sweet waffle into unsweetened bitter coffee to balance it all out, haha, the belly wants what the belly wants for me I guess.
Thank you for sharing.
great advice!
Great video! I wasn't at all surprised when the security staffer actually said, "Is somebody in there?" What did you decide about the microwave shells n cheese? I think the only way to make it while camping is in a metal pot or mug. I love Currvo Negro's tunes. I really liked your desert camping video with the Yucca for tarp support. I love the natural foods instructions. THAT alone is worth the watch.
Thank you for sharing the install and the shim tip. Blessings brother have a good week sir.
im glad you enjoyed it Brother! new vidoe coming in a few hours!
Great video, the water bottle detector was a good idea. Wow 5 cats, haha you beat me I have 3 but I have other animals. So it adds up lol. Cheers, Dave.
That spice kit is a great idea.
Scissors, scissors are much better outside than a knife. Cuts stuff up as fine as you want with no cutting board involved.
Excellent video! Suspenseful. The Mac n cheese had me dying, haha!
i always wondered how funny it looks when you set the camera down and walk away but then walk back to camera to pick it up lol release bloopers and b roll!
lol yeah it must look so awkward if someone was watching me lol plus i usually do several takes lol
Great video. Its so cool.👍👍👍
Another good stealth campout in the books. ❤
I think so too! glad you liked it!
Liked the video James. The alarm system was clever and an excellent idea; one I'll be keeping in mind during my adventures.
We will watch and that looks fun! More stealth camping
be sure to watch my past 2 stealth camping adventures! more to come
Love this video. When I was a teenager I was homeless for a while. I got by for a little bit with couch surfing but that welcome wore out fast. I found myself in parks, and at one point breaking into a garage where someone had some camping gear. I never stole anything and meticulously placed everything back were it went every morning before the family woke up. Not a proud moment but man did I ever get some good sleep in that garage in a fancy down filled sleeping bag. Eventually a friend and his mom took me in. Strange time in my life.
Stealth car camping next! Keep up the Chuco Pride!
Already on my 4th watch! LOVED this one!
Not the worst is plenty good enough!
Great video, thank you for keeping getting these videos out!
A suggestion for your spice kit is to put some starch in there, I've found that very useful and it would've made that mac n cheese a lot better with very little effort. Quite a lot of calories in a small space as well. Corn starch is my choice.
As for alarm systems the personal alarms where you pull a pin is unbeatable. In a small, light and cheap package you get a near perfect alarm system that is loud (and some have lights as well), hard to turn off and can be used in so many ways with just a few accessories like fishing line and magnets. I know people that have used them as car alarms (magnet to the bottom of the car, run a fishing line to a pole or even a ground stake) and I've used them as booby traps for doors, used the fishing line as a trip wire as well as numerous other variations. Depending on what you're going to use it for you need to get one that has a light enough pull, some of them require a fairly hard yank to get going.
A little advise...in the beginning where u grabbed that branch before u started clearing out ur area to sleep in...u could have easily used that same branch and used it as a rake...use ur knife to carve out a lil and it will be a decent rake....second...look into carrying a steel canteen...that way u can boil water if need be.
true, i didnt think about the branch, i do have asteel cup for boiling water that nests with my canteens, its the one i used for making my dinner and coffee.
Gutsy adventure and interesting video. Nice job man
Once I made a not so stealth sleeping .. by just sleeping at the nearest national bank (yes, where the ATMs are). It was great: cameras taking care of me, great shelter, the floor was a bit hard yes, but ok after all. In the morning a couple of bank employees woke me up with crackers and coffee.. We all understood the situation and I moved on.. Sometimes .. humans just take care of humans ( it was a cold rainy night ).
I live in the same town. A few summers ago My AC stopped working and had to spend the night at that Motel 6 . Ended up bring bed bugs home.
And then what did you do?
Is that wild lettuce all over that lot? I know you had done that urban foraging video a bit ago. 🤷♂️ Great video! Love stealth camping videos.
yeah there was a lot of prickly lettuce and london rocket, i regret not mentioning those in the video
I noticed it too because I haven’t found any in upstate NY
As much as you like green chili, you could be an Honorary New Mexican! But gotta knock off points for that coffee! Maxwell House is one of the worst supermarket coffees in my opinion. I went through many ways to make coffee backpacking and finally came up with using a small reusable coffee filter that I would add good coffee to (try Seattle's Best #4) and simply dip into my pot of water, just off boil (too hot will bring out bitterness).
For car camping I use a small funnel shaped thing that sits on top of your cup and uses #2 cone filters. I like a cheap light plastic commuter cup to keep the coffee hot. You can use the coffee of your choice, and it probably will be cheaper than those pods. Filtered coffee is supposed to be healthier too.
not my first choice but convenient t obring in staleht camping missions as you jsut gotta out the tea bag in the water
@@JunkyardFox That's true. My method is pretty easy though. Looking forward to first camping trip of the year, maybe next week. Either Aguirre Springs or Cloudcroft area.
Great James...
BTW.... The Walking Dead thought the cans made a great alarm ... but never thought of IRL applications. 👍👍
I love that you made green Chile New Mexican Born
Keep up the content bro I’ve been subscribed for about 3 to 4 years (I think) and your videos are always relaxing and dope to watch. Much love and support 💯💯
I appreciate that, thank your for your support!
Love the new video brother and I’m rocking my new tshirt I got couple weeks ago roughly. It’s perfect!❤️ I take velveeta cups on road with me a lot love em but then again my box truck has a microwave versus boiled water over fire lol and those mashed potatoes cups are great too I just have to have butter. That spice kit you revamped is great!❤ omg another reason I like you so much your a cat lover! I’m the neighborhood crazy disabled army combat cat guy🤣. I get other random strays that come by to get a snack and say hi to me even this little prego female lately😳I have a feeling she’ll drop em raise em a little then leave em for me like other mothers have lol. I gotta get back down to Texas a what a burger darn it cause we don’t have em here in Ohio. God bless brother and Cuervo negros music❤ empty water bottle idea is genius! I’ll have to remember that if I ever get myself motivated to stealth camp around my city. I do have a spot several blocks from me I think would be neat plus creek right there area I grew up as a kid and all these years later I been back since 2014. Ok I’m shutting up it’s late and duty calls later today lol. Huh a random black high heel interesting🤣
Awesome video with alot of good info. Looks like a fun night. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
A woman, Alone, At night, In a Druggies Paradise, Out of line of sight of roads, saying IS THERE ANY BODY OUT THERE ... has the biggest set any woman can have. Also, mulberry is best shaken from the tree onto a sheet. There multiple kinds that can sprout up from the same batch of seed. Ones with lots of colour to ones with no colour. And the ones with colour can either have no flavour or be very intensely flavoured. The white ones are almost always flavourless and super sweet. The coloured ones can be sweet or have no sugar in them. Lots of variety in the experience, and even though you think "oh I want flavour and sweet", not always. You have a tart apple, nice flavour but a little sour and want to make a sauce or a pie with them well then add in a cup of white mulberries, you dont change the colour of the apples, you dont lose the apple flavour, but you do get the sweetness from the mulberry. If you need a sugar source for a ferment but don't have wild honey to harvest, white mulberries are your friend again. All in how you look at them :) and lots of use for them.
Great video James good to see new vids of you in my feed idc what vids you I truly enjoy watching you and cuervo jus good vibes man 🤙
