How to Not Be Caught

  • Camp late (sunset), unmake camp early (sunrise).
  • Make sure your campsite can't be seen from roads or nearby trails.
  • Don't camp on private properties.
  • Don't jump fences (fences usually mean private properties).
  • Don't camp pass "Private Property", "Keep Out", "No Trespassing" Signs
  • Be quiet
  • Don't use your headlamp (lights can be seen from afar)
  • Have a ninja colour tent or shelter​.

How to Minimize Trace
Not to be caught is only half the work. The other half is making sure no one knows who have been there and even less camped there.
  • Don't litter! 
  • Dug a hole for your bathroom calls.
  • Don't camp in high grass (they flatten).
  • No campfire
  • Don't pullout plants
  • Move a minimal of dead branches and rock for your spot.

What if I get caught?
Even if you are extra careful, being caught is part of the risk.
  • Be humble
  • Explain your situation and offer to move right away
  • Accept any consequence or fine that may apply (after all you are doing something you are not suppose to).
