What are some experiences you've had while stealth camping? A friend was taking me to a trail last month when his car broke down. After a tow truck came & took my friend and his car I said I'd just walk to the trail. I looked at my topo map of the area and it looked easy enough. Before I got to the trail it got dark and I became exhausted. I had gone about 11 miles and had another 6 to get to the trail. I found a nice spot and made camp. In the morning a guy knocked on my tent, woke me up & asked what I was doing on his property. I explained the situation and apologized. He said I could go to his house & use his bathroom. He then fixed us both breakfast. He said he'd drive me to the trail if he could hike with me. To make a long story short we discovered his cousin had been my roomate in college. Had I not stealth camped I would've missed an opportunnity to make a new friend with a lot of backpacking experience. I do understand other people's experiences have not been so good.
