First I love that song by Siouxsie and the Banshees. (This wheels on fire.) Listen to it every day while on my bike.

Any how. Stealth cycling is one of my passions. I get away from everyone especially co-workers. This is what I have learned so far. You will need.

1. Get rid of the panniers. Use Revelate gear. Panniers are to heavy when you are jumping barbed wire fences and walls with your bike. Especially when you need to make a fast get away from a crazy person who is shooting at you for trespassing. It's only trespassing if you refuse to leave.
2. Mesquito spray.
3. Dog spray or air plaster.
4. spray all clothing with a polymer protection, so when it rains you stay dry.
5. Small Bivy Tent and Rain poncho, Poncho is used as tarpe over Bivy tent.
6. Small hand (lighter fluid) hand warmers.
7. Survival blanket, so light and retains 90% of body heat.
8. Lots of freezed dried foods, jelly beans, and raw cheekpeas.
9. 4 small Atom camera and power stick by Veho.
10. Swiss mess kit.
11. Water perifying tablets because I had to drink out of puddles in the past and eat cactus.
12. Laminated state map in sections.
13. Bar of lye soap and ziplock bad of paper towels soaked in rubbing alchol. Lye soap is good for bathing and laundry.

Where I have camped.
1. first you need to wait till the sun starts to set, so people don't see you.
2. Cover all reflective surfaces with electrical tap.
3. Cemetary's are my favorite spots, no one enters them after dark. Just make sure you are in the far backside.
4. Along highways where the state has their young trees waiting for transplanting. Perfect little forest.
5. Rest stops, usually they have a sign saying no sleeping on picnic tables, doesn't say anything about underneath.

Things to remember.
1. Always use an enclosed bivy tent, never a tarpe because snakes love to curl up to you during the night because of the warmth. Learned that the hard way her in Texas.
2. Always carry a roll of electrical tap with you. It does wonders for repairing punchered or slashed tires.
3. Always tie your bike to your tent just incase you are a heavy sleeper.
4. You can always ask people if you can camp out on their lawns. Post on craigslist if requesting assistance with camping. I have had quiet a few people offer up assistance. Never accept invitation to sleep inside. If they ask what you look like, don't respond back.
5. If police ask you to leave a particular site, do so without question. It is not trespassing until someone one has asked you to leave.
6. I also make sites on my state map where to camp and places to avoid. I always ask people that have given me assistance if I can mention them on my website. The ones that have offered me assistance and went above and beyond, giving me bottles of water, beef jerky and etc. I always send them something in the mail or offer to help them around their house.
7. I have had a lot of bad experiences with the older gay men that offer lodging assistance. However, I wont go there, you can experience that situation yourself.
8. In the city you usually have 1 or 2 dogs to worry about. In the country you will have 8 dogs on your right and as soon as you out run them, 8 more dogs on your left start chasing you. Thats when an air blaster comes in handy. When it becomes dangerous I stand still and the dogs usually go away. I have even approached owners to talk reason with them, but they always are in denial or insulting. I just show them my scars on my ankle and tell them "see this, I got 10k for that wound." That is why the Veho cameras come in handy. The owners can argue that those dogs arent theirs, but it sure is a strong arguement why they returned to the front door of the house.
9. Most of all develope an accent and pick a language most people dont know. I learned Croatian and Serbian. So when I travel I speak with a broken accent and listen to Colonia or Seka on my boombottle. People always ask me where I am from. I tell them Croatia but lived here for 10 years. No one needs to know you aren't a native.

Well! hopefully I've given you some ideas.
