stealth camping. basically camping where your not supposed to / normally wouldn't want to, and have your presence remain unknown. it's great fun and breathed new life into "the outdoors" for me

Always wanted to try this but I’ve got all my gear themed orange and green. I would stick out like a sore thumb. Also I’m in northern Ontario so It would be silly

it can still be done but you might need some camo or something. highly recommend it!

I ended up putting blaze orange cord on everything so I wouldn’t leave anything behind when I packed up camp. But my tarp is forest green so maybe I can do this…

i believe in you! a lot of my gear isnt 'stealthy' either, part of the fun is making it work and good site selection

Like in a van or do you mean camping out in cities or something?

[–] jcit878@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

either or! I don't do vehicle stealths myself but it's an equally acceptable part of the hobby. I personally like to camp under bridges, on abandoned structures and in the bushes on motorway interchanges. good fun
