Discovered a YouTube channel where this guy kayaks around to different places that aren’t supposed to be accessible to the public to ‘stealth camp’ for one night. He even camped in the East River on a tiny manmade island full of birds while surrounded by NYC.

This video has him row out to Fort Carroll in Maryland and apparently it’s the first time a video has been posted to YouTube even showing the interior of the abandoned fort.

It was designed by a young Robert E. Lee in 1847, never completed to its full height due to the outbreak of the Civil War, and was abandoned by 1921 with its lighthouse ceasing operations by 1945.

He’s actually been on a road trip hitting stealth camp sites all across the west, south and southeast.

He kayaked from Grand Isle and camped overnight at Fort Livingston.



Dude has some balls. He stealth-camped at the abandoned Castle Pinckney in Charleston, SC which is privately owned and has cameras all over the inside.

stealth camping
Is this another term for trespassing?

I stealth fished every pond south of Shreveport in my younger days.

Good thing he went in winter. Otherwise, Those Grand Isle mosquitoes would have carried him off to their lair.

I wouldn’t use this term for abandoned site. These islands can go years with no human step foot on land. What’s the point? It’s a free country on God’s earth.

Fort Livingston is monitored by the USCG. they have a station at the end of Grand Isle only about 0.5 mile from the fort. you can see the fort from the station.

I camped at Fort Livingston a few times. Set up my tent inside the arches and slept where the cows would sleep During the fall when the flounders were spawning. This was before my momma and daddy built a couple of houses across the pass.
