You shouldn't have a problem. I've stealth camped alot in cities and forests/public lands.
Infact i stealth camped with my motorcycle inside Yosemite national park last month + all around Tahoe.
Lots of Rangers, but if you ditch your vehicle i suspect you'll be fine. Just keep a low profile.
Hope you have fun!

okay, i'll tell ya about my little adventure, i'll just tell ya i took way to much stuff with me, by the time i got to where i could set up camp, i thought i was having a heart attack.
here is one of the ponds i past on the way
here is pics of my tent
i found some flat stones and made a little fireplace, it worked out pretty good, i only had two wood fires, the rest of the time i used my penny stove on the nice flat base stone of the fireplace
the forest smelled like mycelium, and mushrooms, here are some of my finds this one was stood out like a light it the night. a trusted identifier told me this is Amanita bisporigera and is deadly poisonous...
a few others
i partied way too hard the first night.
i'll share more later

Cool adventure. I'm jealous. I might start setting up a camp over the fall/winter for next year. Think I'm gonna need some time off.

i'm definitely going to do it again, maybe in a few weeks, if not, then next year.
after i made the fire place, i celebrated way too hard, i didn't eat that day, i was smoking, drinking vodka, and dancing around my little fire till i passed out, it was only around 8 pm. i woke up to rain on my face, i had to get my gear out of the rain, i had to close the window on the tent, i had to cover the big vents on the roof, and go back to sleep. when i got up in the morning to take a leak i was still groggy, it was still dark out, but i could see a light way down in the woods where i saw a tree stand the day before, so now i knew i had to be careful.
more later

here's more
i packed in my water, the hydration pack was two liters, a WW2 canteen one quart, and two 20 oz ice tea bottles full of water, so i figured i would be good for a couple days, WRONG i washed the hydration pack bladder out before i filled it but when it come time to drink the water it was undrinkable it tasted like plastic and chemicals, so i said to myself "i got this covered" with a big hung over grin i put the water through my trusty home made water filter, another learning experience, the water came out black from the carbon. i should have put a couple layers of sand in the filter. so i ended up filtering pond water through a bandanna, then boiling it. i could have saved my self 20 pounds or more on the way in.
more of my idiot safari later

i woke up one morning and i went off to find a cliff i knew was there some where. i ended up getting all turned around and ended up here. so i took a couple of pics.
it doesn't look it but it drops off pretty good. so i went off exploring some more. never did find it, but i did get some good exercise, and had fun exploring. now i have a good idea where the cliff is and how to get there, so next time i will find it on the first day (i hope) and set up camp on the cliff. i really want to get a pic from there.
all in all i had fun, next time i will take a lot less crap with me, and not get so obliterated the first night.

a little more since it's so dead in hear.
i forgot to mention the second night around dinner time. i just took my beans off the fire stood up and turned around and i saw movement, it was two dogs and a hiker, i don't think he saw me but it took me by surprise, if it was the night before he would have smelled my fire, or the dogs would have smelled me, but the wind was coming from north instead of the south like on the first night.
i'll tell ya, after getting so screwed up the first night i felt sick for days after. i still smoked my green but i didn't feel up to the shrooms i brought with me. so next time i'll ether Waite to drink or not drink at all. my entire time in the bush i opened three cans of food, vegetable soup, beans, and alphabet vegetable soup, i didn't finish any of it, and ate nothing else, every thing i ate went right through me, even the water, and the instant coffee, thank god i brought a full roll of tp, and hand sanitizer hand sanitizer

Yeah, you'll enjoy yourself more if you focus on exploring/cooking/camp set up/time alone rather than getting obliterated.
Although psychedelics and camping go together well, it takes some nerve to take them alone in the forest...
That's a bridge i haven't crossed yet.

i agree, i'm a beer drinker, not a vodka guy, but i didn't feel like carrying a 30 pack, but i think i would have been better off cus i can't drink vodka like i can drink beer next time i'm going lite wight, not ultra lite, but at least 50 pounds liter than this time.

All you really need is your cooking stuff, sleeping bag, tent, and tarp.
Your load shouldn't be more than 30lbs no matter what, and should actually be much lighter, IMO.

i agree, i think my problem was i had too much time to think about it, and my load kept growing, not only that i brought like two gallons of water with me, and my tent is 9x9x6 dome, it's all i have but i love it and wouldn't use any other if i had the choice. i also brought like three changes of clothes. caned food also weighs a lot. bow saw, sheet rock hatchet, rope, i brought all kids of stuff. i guess i wanted to be ready for anything

Hey man, no worries, i know how that is.
I remember the first time i went hitch hiking i had piles of stuff hanging off my already large pack.
Same with cycle touring - took waaay too much stuff when i was in the US.
This year, a friend his girlfriend, and i were doing a 35km'ish walk to a lake, and i brought 7L of water, and they brought 2 between them. They ran out, with plans of getting to the lake at the end of the hike that night, where-as it was planned that we were doing it over 2 days.
Needless to say, carrying 7L on ones shoulders, with camp gear. Is brutal.
I was extremely bitchy + mad at them for forcing me to walk 35km's with such a load, towards the last few kms.

I've been guilty of sherpa-ing a 50 lbs pack into some areas but usually shoot for less than 1/4 my body weight including water.
I usually go through my pack when I get back home with all the gear on the floor then separating out whatever I didn't use or need. Then either make a list of what gear was really handy or just pack the necessary items up again for the next trip.
