Anyone in OZ (or abroad) with some real world feedback on this -- really looking for some 6months+ battle testing.

I was looking at custom foam cutouts, but this makes so much more sense, I have a 6 seater, the back 2 seats fold down flat, then there's a gap to the front two seats fold down most of the way small incline, but there's a big gap between the back 2 seats and the 2 middle seats I'm hoping I can get away with not feeling it with this thing.

If there are better options all ears as well :) thank you

Back looks like this all folded down.

I'm mainly referring to places in Europe where you can't just pitch your tent anywhere and wild camping is highly regulated, like the Benelux countries.

If you want to go off the beaten track and still camp outside of designated camping zones, do you think that in the near future drones with thermal imaging will shut that down?

In Belgium, there was a huge wildfire recently and these drones were used to monitor the area after the fire was extinguished. I can only imagine that these drones will be used to spot stealth campers in the near future.

(The fire was likely caused by government services doing maintenance and not campers btw.)

Hey all! I thought you guys would really enjoy this. The Vanlife and overlanding Venn diagram has a large center, so I thought this might be enjoyable to some folks in here!

I would wager you all have some even more elite tips than were were able to provide for stealth camping, so I’d love to hear them!

Does anyone have any wildcamping experience near chatyr köl, in the chinese border zone?

Is it legal? If not, how is it handled by local authorities?

Thanks

Saw this video in the wildcampinguk subreddit. The campers left in a hurry. This is an example how not to camp.

What (unwritten) rules for (stealth)camping do you think are important to live by and to teach others?

Cooking some delicious Bánh Xèo for the night and trying to keep it stealthy

https://youtu.be/QB5WgetG7xo?si=KMtxNdKcX7DxfGF7

This was a super fun and relaxed location - kind of stealthy and un-stealthy at the same time. I had kind of fallen off with making consistent Stealth videos and done other things this summer, but we are back on a Stealth streak again and I forgot how much fun I was having

We might not look like a stealthy camper, but we're finding that we've been having a great time with finding wide spots on turn outs, some parking lots, and some city parks - in addition to a few Harvest Hosts wineries and such. Just finished building our Ambo2RV.

So I built an entire town statue to see if I could stealth camp in it.

The top is a mannequin in thrifted clothing, sprayed bronze. It’s leaning on a sculpture I found at a car boot sale.

It has a plaque, a full interior set up with bed, entertainment, lighting and ring doorbell system

I tried it on my local town high street and it was a massive fail! At 11:30pm a drunk guy got on top and then started trying to get inside too.

I made the plaque a bit too cheeky as I didn’t think anyone would actually read it so lesson learnt

Full video on YouTube if anyone is interested in watching the chaos unfold.

Defo going to try and do another one

I’m taking a 3 week motorcycle trip from NC to Texas, up to New Mexico, Oklahoma, back to NC. 4400 miles.

Where would be the best kind of places to pop a tent for the night without being hassled?

I’m not asking for specific places but more like “behind churches”

A neolithic dolmen is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb. lt usually features two or more upright giant stone slabs supporting a massive flat horizontal capstone.

It was another unique place to do a stealthcampfor me. It is in an area of Belgium where there are more dolmen and menhirs of about 5000 BC.

The dolmen I camped was the smaller and more difficult to reach. It was a special experience to be around that area after sunset to be honest.

But I kept respectful to the site, left no trace and I am glad my country has plenty of these unique spots

The sunset and sunrise was truly remarkable.

I’ve been getting more into cooking while car camping, so I decided to try something different and cook a full meal at a 24 hour WinCo without drawing too much attention.

Curious who your favorite YouTube stealther is? Here are some of my favorites:

Steve Wallis- the king of stealth and the Bob Ross of camping videos

The Northwest Wind - Sam is lovable and hilarious! How can you not like him?! He is different than all other content creators and that makes him great! I relate to him so much! Bonus: if you ever reach out to Sam he always responds! Always responds to my comments and questions on YouTube and Instagram

Random Adventures 2.0 - what’s not to like about Tony? Calm and really explains everything really well. Always entertaining to watch

Campin’ With Champion - really love what he has been doing lately. Door dashing to port-a-potties is hilarious! He’s really been great and getting better every video!

Small Plots - I’m still newer to watching him but I like what he’s doing. Mellow and calming voice. Makes great content!

Let me know what you think too!

On his videos he always does the opening and closing of doors because he is a YouTuber thing (iykyk)

A few episodes back he referred to some people saying he was mocking their channels specifically and he was getting a bit of hate for it.

Who were the YouTubers he was referring to that said Sam was mocking them? I think it’s hilarious cause there really are some YouTubers that really emphasize the most ridiculous things!

Currently looking for a tent in Wilmington North Carolina just a small two-man tent will do it's just me and my wife we lost everything a while back we got our stuff stolen and stuff like that if anyone can help it would be appreciated or if you can possibly give us one that you have that you're wanting to get rid of if you're in the area

I built a frame and removable extension piece in preparation for a trip I’ll be taking this year. I was just curious to see if anyone has used a similar setup before and if so, what did you use for a mattress/sleeping pad?

My thought was to order some memory foam or some other 2-3” thick pad that I could cut to shape and just lay on top.

Edit: I have gotten a lot of feedback and I very much appreciate it! Currently in the process of shortening the legs and cutting down the length to fit, installing gym pads for a cushion, and generally making it more discreet. Thank you!
