The piano accompaniment to the cycling sounded almost Russian in its sombre tones. This may be the last time Kevin was seen, cycling into the fading light like some kind of pre-apocalyptic Mad Max on an alloy horse. Thanks Kevin, for keeping us sane and engaged with your content.
This one was worth the wait. I always forget that you have a gift for finding the most picturesque... Small Plots. Glad to have you back, can't wait to see what's coming up. For the record, I really enjoyed the animated episode.
Finally, a new episode of Small Plots. I didn't even start watching and I already "liked" it. I am showered, had a few drinks got ready for bed and now I will watch the latest Small Plots w/ Kevin. So excited. Yes, I did shave in the shower...
Good on the recovery. I've blown out both knees with surgery and I spent 6 weeks on crutches. Keep up the stealth, and remember, lift with your back, not your knees. 😃
Loved this, Kevin! I find your videos infinitely entertaining, and your personality is really delightful! It's good stuff; I enjoyed this very much, and will watch it a bunch of times. Good luck with the knee!
Always enjoyable. Great selection of music. If only there was a way to have ice cold beer on warmer days. I love anchovies. I am going to try tuna with them.
beautiful vid sir - loved the green, rain and that music. Take care of the knee, (I do some basic strengthening exercises that don't even use any equipment a couple times a week and find it makes a material difference.)
Hi Kev! Good vid. Keep them comming! Btw. Take 2 plastic bags (not transparent). First one put in on your bike seat and the second one blow it, so it will look like a baloon and put the flashlight at the entrace and tape it. This way u will get a DIY camp lantern.
I actually had a plastic bag for the seat, but I brought it out too late after the seat was already wet haha. That's a great tip for the makeshift lantern! I'll have to try that
Its good to see you back in the woods Kevin,after a pretty rough past six weeks.Would love to see more animated Small Plot videos in the future too. P.S. My favourite time in the year to camp is also in October. Cheers!
Hey Kevin! Glad to see you back! I’m not finished with your newest yet but I’m liking it😊. You said in the video this is the point to like, so I’m doing as told and liking it. Now, let me watch the rest. I already know your cooking Kung Foo sucks.😂
Great to see you back on your feet Kevin. Will be watching this ep in a couple of parts. Really nice chill footage for the autumn, just what we need! Stay real. Winter is coming! :(
I too would like to see your animated videos October through spring is my favorite time to camp. I spent the night last night in my truck cap camper on a river bank.
@@Woody-2266 sounds relaxing! I definitely prefer the cold weather over the extreme heat. I overall think seasons are perfectly spaced for my camping tastes... Just when I'm getting bored of a seaaon, a new one begins!
Been watching through your back catalogue of stealth camping videos Kevin. I'm finding your unique mix of jazz/nature/chilled out chats to be very relaxing! Cheers man! I got shingles around 2 years ago - We're around the same age. The doctor told me it was quite rare to get it at my age, and perhaps there was some kind of underlying health issues, such as undiagnosed diabeetus. Went and got a health check-up, and there seemed to be no real cause. It could have just been stress from your knee / not being able to work etc.
totally do more animations if you can, you could insert short animations into your camping / scouting vids whenever opportunity arises animate some of those drunken conversations hehe 😄
@@smallplots lol...I don't know Bon J juice.....lol , can't prove a thing...hey , I kno th Law....okay , lol....glad yer back on yer feet K man....Rocking onward RJ
I did this on a 160 mile back packing trip through through Alabama and Mississippi. The biggest pain is finding a place to sleep. I'm doing this again starting next month. Can't wait. awesome adventure.
...heyhey , great to c yer back @'em......1 for the "suggestion box"....what if you could make a Cartoon version of yer vids , on Thurs. or Friday ???....pretty sure that we would love to watch them.....So animated , so little time.....Rock onnn Brohamn RJ....lol , ps: luvx the musical accomp. anyways
pps: yep Shingles suck...., and for another matter , always be careful of "deep knee bends".....one time , my right knee "popped" in that way , took over a year before I could walk , or ride a bike again.....
@@smallplots awwww wwe , , lol ...I had the thought , before u even mentioned 'er on the vid....hey , here's a thought...maybe jus 1 a month ???....antyeways , good stuff mang , keep'em comin'
Thanks, Bags! Stealth camping is pretty fun, and honestly because I live in a city, it's more accessible to me than driving an hour to the nearest state forest. I recommend it!
Glad you’re back, Kevin😃 Tarp bubbles and anchovie juice aside-what’s your rain jacket brand/style? I’ve been rockin the poncho for a while, and I’m thinking about retiring it. Another great video, man👏🏻
Thanks John! I wish I had a more complete answer about my rain jacket, but it was a gift so I don't exactly know the specifics... however I can tell you it's Columbia brand and it works well!
Hey man! I wanted to tell you something that came up in your video. The Shingles. I also had a first outbreak in my late 30’s on the underneath of my upper arm, almost into the arm pit. Yeah, I’m sure you know how much that hurts. Since, I’m 57 now, had maybe 4 smaller outbreaks in exactly the same spot. Anyway, it always accompanies a serious cold or flu. It breaks down your immune system. FYI😂
I’ve been watching you for a long time now never comment or anything.. idk why.. I’ll do better lol hoping to see your channel grow. I really enjoy your content!!
Here's to being, if not at 100%, at least close enough to function normally! Watching this as the local meteorologists make it sound like the world's ending, as per usual down here. So I'm watchin' someone camping in the rain while it's raining. Gotta go for that authentic experience, right? ...But no anchovies for me. I gots my limits, Kevin! 😅
Yeah, been, done that. And actually, had two dudes walk in on my camp. Sketchy, but turned out well. I'm hopin to see a winter campout just to see how you do it. If yer knees can handle it.
I understand the knee thing. I dislocated my Patella when I was 16, and then it was like my knee would slip out every time I would just twist it a lil. then it would fill up and swell for a few days then back to normal till next time. I had two surgeries, after that first time when I was a kid, then maby 15 years later my knee joint slipped out again and swole up with fluid. So much for my soccer career dream. Just take care of it now while you are still young and have modern care for athletic injuries.
People are often too stupid to figure out how to drive past a bicycle. That happens to me all the time too and I always say out loud that they're going to get really impatient if they're going to go the same speed as I go because I am probably the slowest bicyclist I know. lol At least those cars are better than the ones looking at Facebook and driving down the bike lane. That's why I have a rear view mirror on my bike.
I've gotten a fair amount of questions about this, I feel like if I ever hit 5-10k somewhere in there would be a good time to start things like merch and a possible patreon with exclusive paid content (no main videos will be behind a paywall, just extra fun stuff). I've definitely got ideas! I just don't want to jump the gun on it.
there is privilege in being able bodied true wilderness or even just an urban glade is not a destination if you're using a wheel chair or similar i thought about this while at college recently, a very young class mate couldn't take part in a wilderness excursion, there was a path but it had wide, deep, ridged drainage channels cut thru it every 50 meters, and we had our lunch on an island, the poor kid had to sit in the bus the whole day, i praised the sun for my legs that day, and from then on started looking after them better (i have not got the best knees)
I try not to compare it to homelessness TOO much, I go out with like $1000 worth of camping gear, drink expensive beer, and then get to go home at the end of it haha. Besides that though, yeah, pretty similar.
Not really scared, no. I'll get a little nervous if I'm camping near a bad neighborhood , but at the end of the day, I'm the creep hanging out in the woods at night haha
Dude, you might wanna reconsider camping right on the trail, not just because of the serial killers in your area, but you do have bears, so you might want to consider the thermals and plan to evade the super noses of bears....ub green boy, green as grass
I know this is an old comment, but I think it's worth mentioning that while there are black bears in New York State, you're not going to find them here. Also, serial killers?? The worst you'll encounter are coyotes
Please don't overlay your great videos with music. I started really loving the segment of just rain falling until the music started and I fast forwarded to get thru it.
The piano accompaniment to the cycling sounded almost Russian in its sombre tones. This may be the last time Kevin was seen, cycling into the fading light like some kind of pre-apocalyptic Mad Max on an alloy horse. Thanks Kevin, for keeping us sane and engaged with your content.
Don't know why I watch but I do thanks Kevin
You do us proud,you’re ill and still you come out and do your videos. Good on you my friend. Another great video despite the rain . Great stuff
This one was worth the wait. I always forget that you have a gift for finding the most picturesque... Small Plots. Glad to have you back, can't wait to see what's coming up.
For the record, I really enjoyed the animated episode.
Hey thanks, Jack! It was so good to finally get out, I feel like a new man haha.
Finally, a new episode of Small Plots. I didn't even start watching and I already "liked" it. I am showered, had a few drinks got ready for bed and now I will watch the latest Small Plots w/ Kevin. So excited. Yes, I did shave in the shower...
Haha well that just sounds like a perfect evening. Thank you!
Yes!!! My man is back with an awesome return video....thanks for your sacrifice. We live through you!
Thank YOU diesel! Appreciate your support, man!
Good to have ya back Kevin!
Thanks, Carl!
31:37 when u told the birds to shut up i lolled ~ great way to start my Thursday morning 😂😊 a good chuckle 😄
Great video Kevin. It was great to see you again. So glad you could make it out in the rain.
Thanks man! I love camping in the rain, it's always an experience
@@smallplots absolutely. The weather guys says rain/snow this Sunday. 🤞
Neat how you can find stealth areas in an urban setting.
It's not always easy!
Love late fall, winter, and early spring camping
Just randomly found your video. All the best from your friends across the pond 🇬🇧
Thanks, michael!
Good on the recovery. I've blown out both knees with surgery and I spent 6 weeks on crutches. Keep up the stealth, and remember, lift with your back, not your knees. 😃
Oh geez that sounds rough! Thanks ogberi!
Wow. This is super duper awesome! Outlaw Camper sent me here!
There's a lot of cool off the grid camp spots In Ellison park wetlands. One of my fav spots. Lots of trail thru it. Rochester ny
A buff wrapped double width over your eyes is the stealth camper man's blackout eye pillow. Or, you can get an actual blackout eye pillow
Great to see you back!
Thanks, GJ!
Dude I love it, so good! Really excited to see you back in action. Wonder who that upcoming collaboration could be with 🤔
Thanks man! I'll give you a hint: it's OJ Simpson.
Nice to have you back! Yes, October is the best month to camp. I look forward to more animated vids!
Thanks, Mark!
Loved this, Kevin! I find your videos infinitely entertaining, and your personality is really delightful! It's good stuff; I enjoyed this very much, and will watch it a bunch of times. Good luck with the knee!
Wow, thanks so much, Fleotus! What a nice message to wake up to today :)
Always enjoyable. Great selection of music. If only there was a way to have ice cold beer on warmer days. I love anchovies. I am going to try tuna with them.
The man is back!
I'm back, babyyyy!
beautiful vid sir - loved the green, rain and that music. Take care of the knee, (I do some basic strengthening exercises that don't even use any equipment a couple times a week and find it makes a material difference.)
Thanks, waffle! I need to do more strengthening for sure
That taco looked good. Love anchovies. Great job.

Great to see you back, glad you’re doing better. Loved this one, nothing more relaxing than the sound of rain on a tent/tarp
lmao! Rotf!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You kak me man,hilarious stuff keep at it,👍👍

As soon as you said you were looking forward to something I knew it was gonna be you and Sam Bananas. I look forward to it.
Great video, thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
The rain sounds relaxing
Dang blue Jay's would shut up! Lmao that was funny!

Back in the woods! Good for you (and us, the viewers :)
The woods were calling!
Out of curiosity, do you check to see if there are any Geocaches before you pick a spot? Just to lessen the chance of being spotted?
No, between camping and filming, searching the area for potential hudden boxes never really crossed my mind haha. Would make funny content anyway 😅

does your phone ping every time you get a like? that's the way i'd set it up if i were a youtuber. cheers Kevin.
Haha I don't think thats an option tbh. I can't see who likes a video, just the total
All of the stealth camping videos are quite cool but i can't help from think it's simply the way "homeless" live !!
