I’ve toured for years which include occasional stealth camping as a last resort for those parts of the journey that require it. I would define “stealth” as non-designated camping areas in public or private wilderness, as far from public view as possible. If I’m wrong, please let me know.
“Stealth” does not include encroachment near homes. If there is civilization nearby, or anyone to ask, I will always ask permission. I usually set up at dusk and am gone by 6AM leaving no sign I was ever there.
So as an example, in the unlikely event a farmer finds your tent and bicycle on the edge of his 10,000 acre spread off to the side of the road with your tent pitched in his draw, we are to understand he is threatened? Giving him the right to put a gun in your face? Because it’s a “respect” issue? Because he pays taxes? Whad’ I miss…?
