So how do you do the stealth camping thing with your Hennesy? I have a Hennesy, and have used it in "allowed" camping spots (hiking National Forests, paid campsite, backyard, etc.). I've thought about bringing it on longer brevets (600km or 1200km), but I'm just not sure how the stealth camping would work. Do I just see a spot of trees by the side of the road, switch off all the lights but a little LED headlamp, sneak into the woods, string up the hammock, and hope for the best? What if a farmer comes out and blows you away with his shotgun? Or do people look for yet-more-remote, long stretches of trees (maybe still on private land) that seem at least risk of being caught. What are the tricks to stealth camping?
