  • I finally got to camp in a spot I've been checking out for quite a while. It's an abandoned campground in the city of Edmonton Alberta. This was a city-owned campground and now it's just used as a park. It was quite hot, quite busy, but made for a very fun stealth camping trip. There was a heat warning of course, but not quite too hot for camping like last week.

      3:43 The dog saw him and smelled him. The dog would normally bark at someone hiding in the bushes but he admired Steve's stealth technique a little too much to give up his position. Not barking was the dog's way of tipping his hat to Steve.

      If you REALLY want to be stealthy, you don't cook hot food. Can of spam, shnieders pepperetts, can of beans, crackers, V8. All that extra weight in gear. Especially when its bitch hot and you don't need the calories. More room for step 2. Also jeans aren't a good choice for outdoor activities.

    There's a huge park by my house in Colorado and during lockdown I really missed camping and backpacking. So I made a ring in the park of old tree branches and then wove grasses and weeds into the perimeter to create like a natural fence. I thought for sure it'd be discovered, but for 8 months I camped there along the river. I even left an old tent and chairs there. From the trail it was almost invisible. Finally a homeless man moved in and I told him it's his if he wanted, and he still lives there

  • @archangel5627
    @archangel5627 Před 3 lety +30

    I really love the idea of making bean, rice, and cheese burritos as a camp-fare dinner but the one thing EVERYONE doesn’t do is reheat and partially toast their tortilla. If you hold the tortilla towards the open flame of your camp stove or burner and lightly toast it on both sides it totally makes a monumental difference in the overall texture and taste of not only the tortilla but it makes them so much easier to fold into your classic burrito shape. Even when you’re not camping, I recommend to do that on your home stove top providing you have a gas stove. It makes a world of Difference. Once you start toasting your tortillas over an open flame you will never eat a cold or room temperature one again! You can achieve the same thing on a grill by placing it on a grill grate for several seconds on each side or until you get some light grill marks. You just want them to get a little color on both sides. Then again I’m a professional chef. Either way I highly recommend it to those who’ve never done that to try it. You won’t regret it. Cheers!

  • @anastasiae.5338

    Steve, you can buy dehydrated refried beans that are basically a staple for backpackers and campers. It would prevent you having to eat an entire can of slimy beans. They taste a hell of a lot better, and you get to decide how much of it you make. The main point is that the dehydrated ones taste infinitely better. The canned ones are a bit like dog food when you experience a better version.

    This was tense! Like, we could actually hear the walkers conversation! That camo sheet is perfect though!🤫

    They say "Bigfoot" is the world's "hide & seek" champion. I'd say Steve is giving the old "Samsquantch" a pretty good run for his money, lol.... Cheers mate!

    Without a doubt, Steve is the most paranoid content creator on U Tube.
    I'm sure most of the one point two million of us subscribers just love this guy.
    A stealth camping hero. As a regular camper, I've learned some good stuff from him too..

    Steve hiding behind that camo netting is about as Hunker Down as it gets! That should be his new channel art!

    It's amazing how much foliage covers you. As long as you can break any unnatural patterns or crazy colors your good.
