And I have other methods to protection, I also no longer stay out of a tent, I will, however being going back to tent living again soon. But this time, not in the desert. Probably like you mentioned, near cityish. Somewhere stealthy. Like some of the comments here- camo tent

    I read most of the comments. Camo netting is a great idea but not cheap. Camo tarps from Harbor Freight are a cheap idea and a good idea but sometimes can reflect sunlight. Maybe a light coat of flat camo colors spray paint to cut the shine. Don’t spray your tent. That may keep you somewhat invisible from above. Yeah, your tent is really a bright color. The Darkness technology Sounds great. Lots of very positive comments and helpful comments from fellow human beings are always nice to see. I’ll be back to check on you. Oh one more thing. Don’t show any money again or any buildings near you. Safety review your video before publishing. Edit that out, if you can, then republish it. Never enter and exit the same way. Watch your six carefully. I used to be in industrial security. You have a great attitude. Stay that way. Most of all, Stay safe.

      Nothing is stopping you from living like a bird. Of course, like a bird, you can't live in a house. You can't use a phone or the internet. You can't drive or benefit from modern transportation. You have to live out in the wild, drink from puddles in the ground, and sleep out in the open in the dead of winter.
      OR
      If you'd rather live with the conveniences of human society, you have to contribute to that society because nothing is for free. Houses don't build themselves. They don't fix their own roofs when they wear out. They don't fix plumbing when it breaks. Crops don't rais themselves and deliver themselves to the grocery store. People have to work long hard days to provide every service you enjoy living in human society. It's grossly unfair and immoral to expect all those hardworking people to provide those services to you for nothing in return.
      People don't understand what money is. It is the receopt that proves that you have contributed your portion to society. When you work and contribute, you get your receipt (paycheck), which you can use to collect a portion of other people's goods and services that they have contributed to the economy. Sometimes your add value to society directly by performing labor. Sometimes you create value by creating an opportunity that would not have existed without you. Opportunity itself is of great value and should be paid for just like everything else of value in the economy.

    That's a really nice tent you have. I recommend throwing a tarp over it so the sun doesn't damage it as quickly and for extra protection. That tent looks like it's $200 - 300, and a tarp that covers it would probably only be $15-20. Another consideration when choosing a tent for a base camp/ car camping setup is the poles. You will want better poles that cannot bend or snap. I think quick setup cabin tents may be better for this, but generally speaking, heavier tents will have more rigid poles. I know you said there's a taco truck nearby etc, but have you considered a cooler and small stove? Perhaps even a solar setup with 12v cooler and other power features for your base camp. I enjoy cooking, and would choose to have some simple meals i can make near my tent as an option to make it feel more homey. I wish you luck with your nomadic stealth camping setup.

    Very good video. It’s awesome that you are working on yourself to see your children more. I used to go up north in Michigan to walk the lonely dirt roads to think and get away from everything. Now I walk 5-6 miles, sometimes with my 2 dogs just to relax and pray. I subscribed to your UA-cam channel. I wish you the very best. You and your children are in my prayers. Stay safe my friend. Continue to be blessed.

      ​@AgelessNomadic yes your right however the land is owned by the government or someone therefore a police officer can ask you to leave if he choose to... maybe not since there are also homless people in the streets and it's owned by the govenrment you should mostly star to focuse on to helping other how to find the best spot on their areas

    Bro your vibe is fantastic. Keep it up. Get back with your kids when you can, and never give up on that. They’re waiting for you. I take my kids tent camping a ton, and there was a time I thought we would have to live in a car or in a tent. If it ever came to that, it would be okay. Everything is temporary. I hope you get your SUV soon. Best of luck man. ❤

    Borrowed my girlfriend's tent to stay in a campground I was working 100 miles away and it was cheaper than motel. Came home from work at the tent was gone, the people in the next campsite had gotten kicked out and decided to steal my tent on the way out. So I'd say the problem with living in a tent is, how to you keep people from stealing stuff? I was smart enough to keep everything else the car, but didn't feel like taking down and rebuilding the tent every day.
