Stealth Bikepacking & Climbing YOLO Adventure of Wierdness

**Refreshing** · 03-21-2020, 08:22

So this was a pretty wierd trip. I set out on my bicycle with the goal of riding randomly and maplessly through the countryside until I found somewhere cool to camp. On my last bikepacking trip I had a guy shoot rifle rounds

within 50 yards of me when I stopped on the road to adjust my goggles near his house and on my last tree camping trip I got caught by a deer cam. So... it turns out that stealth hammocking is a lot easier in dense populations than it is out in the middle of nowhere South Dakota????

I don't want to ruin the whole trip for anyone who wants to watch the vid but I stupidly trespassed, climbed some dead trees, found a fox, and spent a great night hanging in my hammock. I hope you guys liked my photos and enjoy the vid!

Good to see you hanging. Not much snow this year?

Oh we got a lot this year but it all melted. Ironically, the night before my trip it snowed a little so there was a light dusting.

Indeed it is! Shug, this may be a weird time to tell you this but when I was living in the cities I was always hoping that you would come walking into Regions ER (I worked there for years). Since it never happened I suppose that is a good thing for you

but I'm still sad that I never bumped into you over all those years!
