Camping, and specifically wild camping, was a major element of my round the world cycle. It helped keep my costs down and in a lot of cases, really was the only way I was going to traverse certain more remote parts of the planet. As a result I’ve ended up pitching my tent in some pretty interesting places over the years. So here’s my top ten list of most the memorable stealth camp spots I discovered while cycling around the world.

Ed, Hi! This is Emir, the kid you taught at English Zone and the one who appeared in this video for a few moments. I hope you are doing well in the times of distress. I just wanted to ask a favor. I’d be grateful if you could share with me some of the videos you made at English zone with all of us together. Thank you!

Watching this in 2025 after the tames videos. This series should have been way bigger than it is! So happy I’ve found it and able to watch it all, even if it’s 10 years later 😂

You should do worse camp spots

Can dented in, you can grin. Cans dented out, watch out! Words to live by!

I am from China and I can tell you what the man made cave is. It is a bunker, there was a lot of them built in China in the Second World War when the Japanese used to bomb China.

Finding that can of beans on the side of the road and replenishing your health with it is straight up from a video game

Really makes me want to go camping now! In relation to the creepy toys; I spent some time on a constuction site at a remote village in China. Workers are usually given simple accomodation on site and it seemed like it was normal that they brought their close family to live with them. During the work day the women would cook and clean and the children would play.

As far as eating damaged canned goods goes as long as you hear the air rush into the can when you break the seal open then you're fine. Rotate the can around and upside down and try to listen for air leaking in before you break the seal. If you don't hear leaks and air rushes into the can when you open it you're good.

Ed, you’re the perfect example of courage and positive thinking. So many of us are just not even able to project ourself in such adventures, and even if we were to make the first move, we would stop at the first difficulty.
At least, we can dream to have been able to do like you, and seeing your videos just remind us what we are missing!

Do you remember 'Dead Poets Society' Ed? Mr Keating encouraged his students to stand on their chairs and see the world from a different angle. Maan, you did that well countless times on your journey. Long live unusual angles. Mark

The look in his eyes at the end when he knew.. one of life’s truly amazing moments to behold, because there is no going back ..in every sense of the meaning

The tunnel works in Sichuan looked very familiar. On my last adventure around China a few years ago I picked a random highway in the direction I wanted to go and hitchhiked down it. A forgotten number of rides and hours later I got to where an earthquake or landslide had destroyed the highway and new tunnels were being constructed. I was following some workers up a rough path around a rockslide, couldn't keep up because my packs were heavy and awkward and ended up in a very loose sketchy section with nobody around. Somehow I managed not to slide all the way down into the river, ferried my gear across to solid land, and call out to some other workers who helped carry my stuff back to the road and into a tunnel where their car was parked and given a ride to something like civilization to continue hitching. I didn't camp in any bits of tunnel though and I'm jealous you went through Qinghai too.

This is my first introduction to you, I will watch, and subscribe, mostly because of your attitude! I'm in the twilight of my life, and I think the streetlights are on, lol, some will understand. You have done a wildly magnificent thing, and to have the rest of your life to pass on this adventure, to future generations, is almost without description. Back in the day, lol, I worked with an English gentleman, it was backbreaking labor, I was young and he was old. Sometimes when I was at the end of my rope, he told me that the English, have a saying, or motto, "Crack On" that he told me meant you just keep going! Never forgot it, and somehow to me it just seemed better to say, 'I guess I'll just crack on' than to say 'don't quit', lol don't know why. But when I watched you, I thought of him, and that's a compliment.

9:10 that must’ve been such a seriously amazing moment to remember and be apart of. How cool that some of the community came by to enjoy time together. So awesome

@mrbbqcraig 3 years ago

After walking through a tunnel through a mountain, which was also a fallout shelter, in Yosemite National Park, and it was late enough there were no more cars coming by to hitchhike to, so I slept in the bushes at the south end of the tunnel. I was later told that was a favorite spot for people looking for rattlesnakes. Another time after doing some backpacking in Desolation Wilderness in the Sierra Mountains, my friend and I hitchhiked to Santa Cruz, California. It was quite late when we got there, so we climbed up a cliff and slept in a small grove of bamboo. In the morning two very surprised children coming to playing what was apparently their fort, found us sleeping there. My friend cried and said "I want to go home." So to give him the full experience of living on the road the next night I got two large boxes out of a shoe store dumpster, climbed over a fence and slept in some trees between two highways. We slept remarkably well in those boxes.
