Me and my friend used to go up there, start a campfire, and drink. No one ever bothered us. Police don't go there because it is the edge of the city. It's one of those spots where people can just hang out and be cool with what others are doing. Great video.
Yeah really chill spot. And functional!
And on tonight's episode of Kooking with Kevin: Blood Sausage!
You pop out of the dark on a woman alone in the woods, but instead of freaking out, she starts chatting about trails! You have such amazing luck!
It's my unalarming affect and impeccable conversation 🤓
She was super sweet, what a nice interaction while stealth camping! That's incredible!!
Yeah super glad, could have been waay worse haha
The man who has almost single-handedly opened up the Destination Urban Camping Industry with Rochester as its center brings yet another blockbuster entry into the field
Thanks, steve!
This one was funny. And strangers too!
The strangers!
littering and...littering and...littering and...smokin the reefer.
😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Have to say this is my favorite video of the year. Kevin, year in review video? Maybe?
Wow, thanks! That would be cool for a video during my short hiatus at the end of the year
Loved the “Xmas Pig” decoration you passed going thru SWILLBURG!
Tis the squeeezin
@@smallplots You shoulda invited the mystery Lady to have dinner!
Good evening. Must say it is one of my favorite Small Plots as of yet and you've had a few of them. Even the fire was sweet along with that view . Take care Small and be seeing you around. Cheers
Thanks sleep! I had a blast this camp. Filmed way too much, probably left a good 30 minutes of footage out
My day just got better
😁
Another great one! Thanks, Kevin✌
Thanks!
@@smallplots I wish you were closer to Minnesota. Winter camping is always fun❄ Thanks again👍
Hey Kevin, yet another great video! Loved the interaction with the hiker & dogs...she was so casual and enthusiastic about running into a random stranger in the forest, lol. Stoked to see what you have in store for 2023, interest is piqued! Cheers brother!
Haha ikr. Cheers!
Welcome to “Bloodletting Plots with Kevin”😳You Okay? I’m looking forward to 2023 with more camping with ya.👍
Haha im good thanks sandy, it's already healing up nicely!
Thanks for taking us camping Kevin! Very pictorial city you live in. Bless
That was actually an awesome view of the lights!!!
One of the coolest places I've ever camped
The mountain bike dirt track is sweet! Professional build. Fun video!
Totally hysterical! Hope the beers helped you sleep in spite of the food and finger disasters-and you didn’t start a forest fire! All good! Haha! Thanks for the funniest video to date.
Thanks for watching! 😁
My pleasure
Excellent!
Thank you!
Not a rain video. But then a wind video, then a bloody injury video. This had it all! Great job. Oh, and 4 beers 🍻 tropical beer hug pints 9.9% alcohol. You did just FINE. Just fine.
I don't even remember camping
Great video as always 😊
Thanks for watching as always! 😊
Great video Kevin
Cheers and Hunker down
Cheers!
New subscriber here. Really liking the channel. I live in PA but work a lot in Wny to Syracuse area and up to Watertown. Been through Rochester a number of times I actually recognize a few places from going through. Fun channel hope I can go back and catch up on older videos.
Hey thanks for joining! Lots of Rochester stealthers
nice video ! it was a nice chat with the dog lady . duct tape works good but a small 9 volt battery and steel wool can start a fire also but you need dry tinder (starting fire with metal and electricity is pretty neat )
Oh my gosh I am laughing so hard at your hot dogs. You are a hoot.Daisy’s on your nibbles. Haha
I don't know if you intended to start a 'worst looking camping meal ever' competition, but this one is a winner!
I can still outdo this 😂
@@smallplots challenge accepted!!
This rocks !
You rock!
Love it
Oh yeah, Pinnacle Hill...great area. Loved looking across at it from the resarvoir on the lawn. I used to grow Cannabis plants in the summer on the hill....ah, good times!!
Nice video Kevin, careful with those Knives. See ya next week. 👍
@4:20 FINALLY some creepiness to match that stache
the only thing creepier woulda been if you had all 4 shawns with you and you guys did that together
Hahaha
Great video, thanks 👍
Thanks for watchin!
Thank you Kevin, this was much needed 🖖😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
Crazy how time flies! Wow that view is so much different with the leaves down. Seriously beautiful views right in the middle of the city. You're super lucky to have these types of spots right in your town. Awesome video, Kevin.
Hi Sam!
Yeah, what a difference! I couldn't find our fire pit, already reclaimed by nature 🌳 and yeah this area def has some awesome camping spots, I love it
Thank God, a Small Plots!
I'm here for you
@@smallplots Thanks Kevin, that makes me feel better, lol.
Hey There Kevin! I hope you had a Nice Christmas. This video is perfect for this time of year. Thank you for taking us on your adventures! Totally Awesome!💞
Nice vid Kevin. I use birch bark also, but my go to is a couple pieces of fatwood. You can split them down to much smaller pieces and they really get thing going.
I will say that one of these days someone will happen across your set-up. Lots of stealthers out there...some may be full-timers. Be careful dude.
Yeah I always look for the signs and stay as safe as possible. Fatwood is awesome when I can find it!
Walmart. I always keep some in my truck.
Who do I complain to..... Where's the manager! This man should have more subs - MORE I SAY!!!
Good. Time
best
👖
Hello from Downstate in Manhattan, I just found your channel and checked out a few of your videos to see what you were up to. I like what you're doing out there. Kinda interesting. You're a little quirky, but I can get on board with that. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. New subby 👍🏽🙂
Thanks neighbor! One day I'll do a Manhattan stealth camp 😎
I assume "Littering And.." is taken from that epic scene from Super Troopers
Yes 👍
I really hope he was just playing dumb with the name of that ale and knew what it was from.
Ahh ok got it. Haven't seen that movie since like 2006
Nope, am dumb, no play
@@smallplots eh , I guess we’ll give you a pass this time.
Kevin, you are damn lucky you folded up that tortilla before that big wind gust. I fear it may have acted as a sail and taken you away from us!
Oh my god, so true
It’s all about the view. This is a nice one.
I don't wanna say what those glizzies looked like! 😂
😎Hubba hubba😎
Awesome as always Kevin.
Thanks 😊 bunches
Very enjoyable from your friends across the pond 🇬🇧
Ouch! Sorry about that finger gash - looked savage but you recovered nicely. Stop in at Dickey's Corner Pub on your way out and have a cold one. Looks like a cool neighborhood "Cheers". Great camp like always. 👍 Very nice city views.
I used to live in that neighborhood about a decade ago, it's got a lot going for it!
That was a really great place. I love the city lights. That lady was brave to be walking down the path at night. I really don’t know about eating sausages that well done. Maybe after a couple of Space Kittys. Looking forward to what’s up in 2023. Take care Kevin.
Haha they were... Ok. Definitely odd to see someone walking through the woods with no light! I think i said in the video it was 830... No idea why I said that, metadata on the video said it was 10:15 😂
Littering and Smoking the reefer
interested in the 2023 happenings. thanks for the vid
Hey Kevin 👋, great video. Really enjoyed this one thoroughly. Awesome spot. Have fun and be safe.
Thanks as always!
Always enjoy your videos Kevin! Bring back fond memories of when I lived in Rochester. Keep up the awesome work 👏
1:08 That's hilarious...you clearly have quite a few of us Canadians watching! Most of us do know how to convert Fahrenheit to C, gallons to liters and km to miles. Canada only went metric like early 80s?? Now...back to watching
Canadians and everyone else, we Americans are the only Fahrenheit chumps on the block 😅
I’m excited for your ideas for 2023. Love your videos Kevin!
Thanks!
Take it from a California that, if there's a storm around and you don't get the rain part, you get the wind part as it blows the storm away. That happens all the time around here. I used to live in this place at the bottom of the San Andreas Fault where we'd regularly get 50+ mph winds. I saw it gust over 100 mph before and I don't know how much worse it got because it must have blown the wind meter out of service since that was the last recorded wind. It did that a couple of times and, one time, it was my birthday and I was in my apartment frying my ass off on acid. It blew so hard that I literally thought the wind had blown all the plants off of my patio but I didn't want to crack the blinds to look because I was pretending not to be home so I could just have a fun time tripping.
Oh you got the kind of wind that blows the rain to you. Cool. We sometimes get those winds too but they aren't as constant or as bad as the ones that blow the rain past you.
Didn’t work out so well but still enjoyable. Hope your boo boo is ok. I can’t believe you ate those dogs. 🤮 you are crazy.
Yay! A small plot! With Kevin no less! This just made a pretty tough day a lot better. Thank you Kevin! 🖤
Glad to help your day get better!
Another vid! Awesome!
Great video Kevin. I thought about you last week while watching coverage of the snow storms that hit Rochester. Was it as bad as it looked?
No, Rochester got like maybe an inch, but nearby Buffalo got several feet 🐃
Great video kevin really good vantage point on the city from that spot you are at a brew and a view pretty nice im really excited that your planning to be active in 23 i look forward to anything you are going to post next year happy camping
❤️❤️❤️
i do alot of camping stealth included and stealth camping is and art and Kevin keep the videos coming Good Luck with your channel growning
we have spots like that all over Pittsburgh Pa. Where we used to go set up a fire and drink back when I was in highschool. Those good ole days✌🏻
What a great channel great video as always. Thank you
Thank YOU
Hi - when I have stealth camped in the past, I've carried a little bag of dryer lint in a zip lock. That stuff likes to light super easy but you have to also keep a small bag of dry kindling because the lint doesn't like to burn for very long. Also its light and you can crush a whole bunch of it into a small space in the bag.
What a great ep. Those sausages were torched. I got a heartburn just looking at them. I hope your finger is ok. That girl was so cool and chilled. I would freak if I saw a guy talking to himself in the woods. Really looking forward to 2023 and your adventures. Awesome work man just awesome 👏
Haha yeah she was probably packing
Awesome video sorry you brunt 🔥 hot dogs and cut your finger. Awesome camp 💕💕
Another great video! Too bad about the glizzies lol
Rip
Awesome, 1730, time for some Kevin of Small Plots. Time to crack into my own beverage center.
Boom boom boom!
A possible consideration to make when doing campfires in spots especially ones that have had no prior fires before your visit would be to bring a collapse-able fire container or bury your fire pit to practice leaving no trace...those fire scars left behind last a very long time and change the landscapes you visit. Cheers!
Good
Look at the channel growing. Been gone awhile from TH-cam seems I have some catching up. Love you're doing this since I grew up on Culver Ave 😀😀
I could get used to camping with a view like that. Looking forward to next spring so I can do some of that myself. Maybe, one of these years, we can get you and Sam on a collaboration to do some camping in Michigan so we can get you to try some of our Michigan made IPA’s.
I went to Resorts in Atlantic City and had fun!!!!
I “old man’ cackled at the shot of the charred glizzies.
They were like 6/10 not too bad
Hey there, again, Kevin! Eastern New Yorker Nancy! This has to be said that along with your animation job you should try some voice acting. You are hilarious 😂 and YES that is exactly how downstate New Yorker and Jersey folk talk! 🤣
And this is Stealth camping. Busted
Haha yeah, definitely busted, but she was nice
Kevin,at the part where you were walking up the incline to your camping spot,you said this (incline)is getting rough,well if i were there id help with the weight on your backpack...i would take your fork for dinner,but when i saw the end product i would order take out!!Cool vid sir,take care&god Bless!!!Nice lady too!!
Good knife. You know it's nice and sharp when you barely tag yourself with it and it makes a nice, clean cut that bleeds a lot. I did that with my mom's folding saw when I went out bush crafting my ass off. I am eventually going to upload a video of it but I have been trying to finish things first. I think I'll have to upload several videos because I keep going back there and getting more ideas of stuff I'm going to build. In any case, I barely barely tagged myself with that saw and it was like getting bitten by a piranha. I have a first aid kit with me at all times so I just held some pressure, cleaned it up, and threw a bandage on it.
Kevin, you really showed us your dedication to the channel eating those charred glizzies whilst bleeding in a (former) cemetery during a small hurricane. That's manly man stuff! 👊
I'm just a manly man, what can I say
Littering and? Smoking the reefer..lol. its a saying of the first super troopers movie. Very funny stuff.
LOL.. them was so burnt weenies.. and a little blood never hurt anyone... fun camp!
Great video
Thanks cathy!
I honestly expected to see more snow up that way....did that snow storm hit yinze at all? I live in New Castle PA.....Rochester reminds me of Erie PA
Stay safe and keep your head on the swivel
Making a stick igloo LOL man I hope your finger is better that was gushing the Char dog is how sometimes I like them but they look pretty charred Kevin and yes everyone that goes to those woods keep them clean absolutely great video and Superb camera work in the intro and as you were walking to the forest great job catch you on the next adventure
Thanks Tony! The stick igloo worked pretty good 😂
@@smallplots loved the Igloo reference great stealth
1:59 omg we went to eat at Shiki Japanese restaurant, it’s really good! I like how you do the urban trek to your camp site I think it’s original and very interesting!!!
Great and eventful video Kevin. A small first aid kit would have come in handy this time 😊
Another good one. You bleed for your work!!
Haha blood, sweat, and tears!
Great views! Solid adventure except for the sliced finger 🥴
This may be your funniest video yet
Thanks!
You scared the crap out of that hiker 🤣🤣🤣
Haha definitely
It’s “Small Plots Tuesday” (Patent Pending)
Oopy doopy!
@@smallplots Hopefully your finger heals quickly 👍 Those are some crazy pump tracks 🙃
Do you stealth camp during the week or on the weekend? Great video. Keep them coming!
Whenever. This was on a Sunday
nice job Kevin.
😁
Looks like you keep a first aid kit in case of accidental knife wounds 😀
I guess u could call it that 😂
i always ask, so i'll ask you. did you have any weird dreams camping in or near a cemetery. awesome video with bonus knife fight. India house? i want some...
Nope, no weird dreams the I can remember
Good thing about cold weather is your beer stays cold.
Very true!
Cotton balls or makeup remover pads dipped in melted candle wax (all found at 99 Cent store) make fantastic firestarters. Probably easier on the nose LOL. TH-cam has a few tutorials...
Happy trails Kevin.
Hey algorithm! Get it together and start recommending this channel to people already.
YT actually does a decent job of seeding my small channel. It's slow, but there's almost constant growth!
Unreal Kevin! (Just found your channel) I’ve watched Joe, Mav, Matt and Monte, Steve, and many others make it! You belong on this list! And my daughter attends the University of Rochester and I’ve visited. Good luck!!!
Hey Kevin i just found your channel and love your videos, i happen to live close to your area so that's cool too.
Awesome, thanks man!
