Fake Billboard Stealth Camping

- Crazy Neighbor and I built a #fake #billboard and put it up on the side of the highway to camp behind it. Was a great camping trip aside from a little bit of highway noise. One of the billboards was for onion burgs which are a camping standby meal for me, so you can probably guess what's for dinner!

People driving past going “wow these billboards are getting realistic, it’s like I can actually smell those Onion Burg’s” 💗
They could actually smell Steve, too! He's closer than they knew!
Lol😅
😊
This comment made me bust!! Lmao😂😂😂
@@FatalChaz33 Both yours and the original comment are really hilarious.
I can just imagine someone driving by with their windows open, reading the onion burg sign, and thinking, "I can almost smell them!"
😂😂😂
Those onion burgs looked good! I just wish he said what the first 2 packets were that went into the crock pot.
Probably onion soup mix. It's beef "broth" based
Good one!
😂😂❤
In the last year of Crazy Neighbor’s life, you two went on this wild adventure together. The friendship you two had makes me smile, and I’m glad he got to do this with you.
R.I.P. crazy neighbor we absolutely adored him and the energy he brought to these videos, said to hear of his passing
Steve has just raised the bar to an untouchable level
Yes
More likes for this.
Really, untouchable
Next level is ''camping on a fake highway'' and he perceeds to build his own highway xD
hes been there this is nothing new.. i mean except the new concept hahahaha but hahahaha hes always been untouchable imo
No pun intended 😂
We are watching a classic right now! Steve you've outdone yourself!
I second that. Steve is a legend.
Top quality Steve, again!😊
This guy knows
I concur.
Awesome!!! You've outdone yourself!!!
If you notice, one of the many things that make Steve and Crazy Neighbor so enjoyable is their manners. They are polite to each other. Its refreshingly positive. Never underestimate the power of politeness!
Canadians can't help it.
Very Canadian!
Just as an A'mercan screams Hell Yeah!
weird, nice Canadians.
Canadians are like that, the most I seen.
I always love seeing crazy neighbor in the videos. He’s such a cool, laid back guy. Very endearing to see you two having fun together like this!
Glad you enjoyed!
LOL, "Camping - it's closer than you think" is sheer brilliance!
One of your best stealth stunts ever!
“Closer than you think” yeah it’s right there 😂😂
Genius
I didn't even get it until you mentioned it, incredible.
It’s perfect lol
Hey Steve, I have camouflage nets for all season. I've camped around highways, farmlands, etc. Noise-Cancelling earbuds are amazing on busy main roads. Thermal goggles are awesome. I'm 65. I know 😂😂
Crazy Neighbour, disguises, a billboard... what more could anyone possibly want in a video?? Thanks Steve!
Don’t forget the onion burgs!
And the real shop behind them... lol . Bushyboy Oz.
step 2 woulda been nice but i wont be the one to say anything...
@@denniscrane9753 boiled Burger lol
For added effect, photograph the place of the camping, and put up that photo of empty space , and camp behind it ! :-)
Rest in peace crazy neighbor. ❤Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness to everyone. Gone but never forgotten 😢
Can we all appreciate how much of a good friend crazy neighbor is, always loyal to steve and ready to help on my behalf thank crazy neighbor always there thru the good and thru the bad 🙏🏽
If he has a neighbor, that implies he has a place to live, so why exactly is he stealth camping?
Mayonnaise
@@SniffHeinkel for his CZcams channel are you dense ?
@@SniffHeinkel it's recreational, dude clearly loves doing it and it's pretty harmless.
He passed away
What a freaking legend.... camping behind a sign of himself. Bravo
Agreed. Literally put up a sign "This is what I'm doing, right here, right now." SMH ... in admiration. Stealth through obviousness. er. something.
Are you the TC Williams? The tattoo artist.
@Tom G I apologize sir, I am not
Steve and Crazy Neighbour enjoying fireflies together is the kind of wholesome content I needed today
Amen to that.
💯
Your name is incredible
Exactly! This is a beautiful video.
Rest in Peace Crazy Neighbor. You're a true friend not only to Steve, but to your subscribers as well. God bless.
"They require permits, and we don't roll that way."
Pure chaos.
Crazy Neighbor is just one of the best friends a guy could ever ask for
Definitely. And what better person to have a friend like that than Steve. They are so wholesome.
Glen is Steve's best friend hands down, aways there for each other there almost like brothers at this point.
Everyone needs a friend like Crazy Neighbor.
He is a true treasure!
Steve and Crazy Neighbour,the perfect example of what happens when a couple of guys are left unsupervised
Huge mistake though. When they reattached the billboard to the roof of the car they didn't pat it twice and say 'That's not going anywhere.'
Gloriously so.
Go! Go! Go! Go! They're right behind us!
I think you mean a couple of sociopaths?
@@le_th_So you think camping behind a fake billboard constitutes diagnosing a cluster b personality disorder?!?
this is pure genius. not just the basic idea, but the fact that you made the billboard basically give away what you are doing by insinuating "it's closer than you think" and included an image of yourself in it. so clever, so cool
Rest in paradise, crazy neighbor!
Steve and Crazy Neighbor are the epitome of Just Two Dudes Being Bros
Couple guys being fellas
@@dukeofdixielandjust a couple of fellas who are friends
An opening with Steve and Crazy Neighbour in “disguises”. You just know this is going to be a classic 😂
Absolutely! Instant classic
Crazy neighbor is the perfect companion
The banter between Steve and crazy neighbour is timeless
They both have great manners.
"i dont snore, i purr" 😂Crazy neighbor we love you too
The “Camping, it’s closer than you think” billboard is pure genius!
and he used a picture of himself! incredible
That was my thought. It also really made me laugh!
"Camping, It's closer than you think" is EPIC trolling. Thanks Steve (and Crazy Neighbour)!
This is probably my favorite stealth camp. There was a lot of work put into this one. Ride In Paradise Crazy Neighbor
The “camping, its closer than you think” billboard is genius really
Shout out to crazy neighbour for being the mate Steve deserves and needs. I know times haven’t been the easiest for Steve but I’m sure it all feels just that little bit more bearable having someone around who’s a good bloke. Good on ya Crazy Neighbour
The whole camping is closer then you think while camping behind it is pure irony and I love it😂
well if you see that sign you know it's just Steve and crazy Neighbor camping again🤣
cause camping it's closer then you think
I've binged through the entire "Stealth Camping" playlist over the last days and noticed a fun fact: every time Crazy Neighbor appeared in an episode, he has always thrown up his arms as a greeting. In *every single episode* he appeared in. I call that consistency!
The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result
I’ve seen one where he didn’t do that and I thought to myself weird…
As sad as this is, this is such a testament to the friendship you had, to be able to relive so many wonderful events, rest easy crazy neighbour ❤
True. This friendship is more fun to watch than Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Steve , I just wanted to say that your videos are like comfort food. No matter how bad my depression or anxiety is getting to me, your camping vids always provide a safe space to chill and hang out.
Thanks so much man, and take care of yourself!
@@campingwithsteve You're welcome, and thank you for the content! Will do, and you as well!
Likewise. I'm going through a tough time in life at the moment. Steve's channel really cheers me up.
@@johnkelly1083 So sorry, God bless you with strength.
Me too ❤
It’s only a matter of time before Steve is doing a stealth camp in a 24 hour Walmart furniture section.
I was thinking he should stealth camp in a mattress store. Can he do it? Well, can he? Hmmm....
This needs to be a thing
🤣💛
Stealth camp in an ikea staged bedroom lol
Yes yes yes
I loved this with Crazy Neighbor (RIP)! Plus you probably gave hundreds of people a Mandela Effect moment the next morning. "Hey, wasn't there a billboard here yesterday?"
_"it's a professionally built fake sign"_ - *crazy neighbor 2023*
Steve is "stealth camping" behind a billboard which says "Camping" and has a picture of him on it. GOLD!!!
It also said "It's closer than you think" Oh yes it is, like right behind the sign.
Illusionist stealth camping
David French the type of guy that explains a simple joke everyone already gets.
Canada needs to make Steve an ambassador of tourism and commerce he is a GD national treasure. Steve, Jess is looking down on you and smiling and thinking you will be okay...you will be OK
14:11 Now that he's passed away, it's bitter-sweet to know he signed the geo cache log, somewhere out there.
With 1.1M views, I bet a fan will look-up the geo cache this summer.
R.I.P. Crazy Neighbor
Haha. Crazy neighbor. "It's a professionaly built fake sign!" I see why you like this dude.
"Camping - it's closer than you think"
Pure genius, man. That's gosh damn hilarious.
I smiled the entire time while watching this. Fake billboard, Crazy Neighbor, step twos, FOOD, fireflies, geocaching, littering at your friends establishment, oh I almost forgot Crazy Neighbors purring! Seriously an awesome fun video. I loved it! Thanks Steve and Crazy Neighbor!😂
😉
I do agree 100%! These two have no idea the happiness they bring some of us. And yes I'm especially talkin about myself.
@@campingwithsteve ,I’m desperate to see that 5 day camping on the river boat,with a solar generator ,maybe A frame top, white Christmas lights in the Aframe boat,those videos are the best,you and crazy neighbor make those videos one of a kind.
Purring ❤😂
Maybe it's just cuz I'm an American, but these guys satisfy the same itch that the Trailer Park Boys did in their prime. It's not fictional, but it's in that same wholesome yet greasy wheelhouse.
Love the channel Steve, stay safe bud. 👍
We love you Crazy Neighbor. You've made a huge impact on the world 🌎 ❤
Some poor dude probably drove by on his way to the office and was happy a new burger joint was soon to be built on his route. On his way home, those dreams were shattered when the sign was now gone 😂
The relationship between Steve and Crazy Neighbor is the most wholesome thing.
God Bless these two for having each other and supplying us top notch comfort/entertainment in the process of just being some solid buds.
they have become litterbugs nooo
Always good to see Crazy Neighbor and Steve together. What a great creative idea! Cheers Steve and Crazy Neighbor!
Wait, which ones crazy?
RIP crazy neighbor
I was listening from the kitchen in the first ten minutes of this episode. Had to come out and see what I was hearing!
You are amazing! Kudos, as always. So funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
I haven't seen as many as most viewers yet, but this is the most imaginative episode yet!
Steve and Crazy Neighbor are going from stealth camping, to becoming the stealth camp itself. Truly one of the greatest character development arcs of all time. The writers of this show never cease to amaze us. :)
Camping behind a picture of yourself camping is matrix level brilliance
Meta AF.
@@G2_Shane Meta indeed. Inception achieved...
lol! for real.
I had tears when I saw it. He's too cool for CZcams haha
I need more Steve in my life. What an absolute legend. Thanks for sharing this awesomeness.
We will miss you so much crazy neighbour, so much love and prayers being sent to all of your loved ones. Especially you Steve, you have been through so much since I have been watching your channel. 😢
Definitely. I am praying for those things, too. These losses do not come without blessings.
Rest in peace crazy neighbor. Save some step two for the rest of us up there.
Crimes against cooking committed:10/10
Billboard Banter:10/10
Step 2: 10/10
Crazy neighbor: 10/10
Geocaching:10/10
All in all, glorious video.
Instant classic.
Greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.
yes but are you forgetting the boiled hamburger? 0/10.
(good vid :) )
@@ECHtoplasm Mmm! Steamed hams!
@@ECHtoplasm the VERY FIRST THING HE SAID was crimes against cooking, aka boiling hamburgers
@@alex31245 Can I see it?
" I don't snore, I purr." Great line! The fake billboard idea is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Love your vids. This one is a classic.
And he will be purring pretty heavy tonight, lol. 😂
it's a professionally built fake sign
I always dont like very much when camping youtubers bring friends for the video, like they mess with the "pace" of the video, but crazy neighbour.....he's the dude, he seems like the friend you can stay with all the time and he's always chilling and a good companion. Cheers crazy neighbour, you seem (and most likely are) a great dude and friend.
Steve and Crazy Neighbor are so wholesome together. You never see neighbors like that anymore.
What an episode! Fake billboards, fireflies, geocaching, Crazy Neighbor's "I don't snore, I purr" This is the stuff! Thank you Steve!
It's a Fake!!!!!
@@raven4k998 You can tell, by the cross-section. 🏺
It occurs to me that Steve is one of those guys that never outgrew 'fort building'.
Aww, you must be new 😂
No guy really does, some are just better at hiding it than others.
@@masterp2269 No. I've been subscribed for years.
im experiencing depression due to my PTSD from child hood trauma and this is the only thing that relaxes me. Steve, your videos feel like a warm shower and fresh sheets. thank you
This was super cool! If you ever wish to do another billboard camp like this, a way you can be even more stealthy ironically is to have lights on the outside lighting up the billboard. It'd do well to hide any lights behind the billboard so you'd be free to turn on any flashlights for cooking or even just to have on in general :)
Always look forward to your videos, Steve!
And this is why Steve is the father of stealth camping. Well done bud, well done.
RIP Crazy Neighbor. I'm sure going to miss you!!!!!😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Hey Steve, I'm a new fan of your channel! Normally this isn't my kind of content but your demeanor and ingenuity are amazing! Even though you're fighting your own battles, you're out here bringing warmth and positivity to strangers. You're an incredible person, man.
Cringe
you’ve transcended stealth camping and created a whole new “hiding in plain sight” camping category!
I tried something similar growing weed. Huge huge fail. 😅
He's styling. He's becoming too powerful.
@@Renovegas6109 Yeah they've got thermal cameras to see how much heat is coming from your property, we read a case about it in law. Guy ended up losing in court since they got the "thermal scan" while they were off his property. Been around for a long while too now.
Camping in plain sight Lmao
if you can't hide, hide the people
I love the part when you were explaining the fake billboard, and your neighbour chimes in and says, ‘But it’s a GOOD fake billboard!’ as if you’d hurt his feelings 😂
No doubt that beautiful wife is so proud of you. This was awesome! You're an inspiration. Thx for the firefly footage. One of God's most magical creations. Peace, love and blessings my friend.
I have been a casual viewer for the past year or so, and I gotta say I enjoy seeing crazy neighbor! nice to see your personalities mixing, makes it really interesting!
Camping - it’s closer than you think. 😂😂😂
😂
That was wonderful and very creative.
Genius 🙌
Stealth camping is an art. That sign belongs in a museum after this.
Steve, get an ebike with fat tires. I have hip and knee problems and cycling without too much pressure on joints is good. It has made all the difference for me and I’m able to go many places with it and see so much more. I put tannus armor inside tires to make them just about puncture proof. I’ve seen many older folks (I’m 67 this month) on e-bikes and they all love being able to get out there. I’ve seen several people with CZcams channels who ebike in the woods, etc. I’m happy that my husband has recently joined me on the class 2 ebike (has a throttle and pedal assist. He has COPD so it is delightful seeing him enjoy life with me. I love your little camper! It’s perfect! Thanks for all your hard work and shares. May God bless you wherever you adventure to! 💙🙏🏼💙
Not a bad idea!
That was great! You guys worked really hard on this one. A big thanks to crazy neighbor for being Steve’s partner in crime.
Quite literally!
Steve you and crazy neighbor deserve a Grammy for the best stealth camping video of the year
Google "Grammy"...I think you mean something else. Lol😂😂😂
haha. Runners up also include Steve Wallis, and Steve Wallis.
Rest easy now, Crazy Neighbor. 💗
Rip Glenn I can’t believe you have left us but your videos will keep the memories of you alive god bless you my friend and may you have many more camping trips in heaven xx
One of these days we're going to need Steve to release his campsite cookbook so we can replicate some of this magic ourselves. Especially if it only uses relative measurements like "1 can of corn (small one)" or "cook until Jackery runs out of battery."
I was thinking the other day that "Cooking with Steve" could be the next big adventure. Great idea! Maybe some videos as well.
I smell a community project here. Wiki worthy for sure.
Oh man that made me laugh pretty good! Jackery….😂
I learned while I was a delivery driver for an industrial supply company that if you're wearing a high viz vest, carrying a clipboard, and walking like you belong somewhere, you can go ANYWHERE, and no one will bat an eye.
Theres been insidents where whole apartment has been robbed empty, clean rental truck, guys wearing overalls and working like they belong there.
Once even a neighbourg talked to one of the robbers few minutes, and couldn't tell how they looked.
People don't notice things if they are not weird.
There once were some robbers who drove delivery truck to a supermarket loading dock and went in while workers had a cig.
They loaded truck and drove away.
I think it took several days until anyone notised what had happened.
Mostly it surpriced me how little workers care about people who are in storage area of a large market, I once rodealong on bakery delivery truck. We delivered to small markets and large supermarkets, I didn't have any working clothes on and none asked why the earth there is some random dude walking around in storage area in civilian clothes. And most odd was that store workers just let you in when you walk to the door with enough confident.
@@felixchauspfft, ain't no one pays us enough to care...when I worked at Target there were always people we weren't aware of, in our loading bay. Coke representatives, Pepsi representatives, FritoLay, our return warehouse trucks, regular stock trucks, and our special items deliveries (bikes usually)
Workers get so used to seeing random people in there, we usually never question it and tbh we don't get paid enough to care 😂
life's been pretty lonely the last few years. every now and then i'll put one of your videos on because it makes me feel like there's a friend in the room talking to me. particularly when you cheers, us. something about this video in particular hit close, looking back at this nice day you two had together knowing he's gone now. i'm not quite sure what it is, but thanks for allowing us to have a glimpse into your life. it's comforting.
Thank you for such a thoughtful post. This is one that resonates...
I can tell that you are part of what is GOOD in the world. Take care of yourself!
I love how Crazy Neighbour is just up for anything 😅
“Unintelligible crazy neighbor mumbling”
Steve: “ excellent”
He's quite the wordsmith
@@campingwithsteve it’s probably just my lack of ear smithing I have little experience with the exotic dialects of Canada
watching one of steves videos just make me forget about what ive got going on in life for about 20 minutes...I dont have to worry about bills or responsibilities...just sit back and watch steve and calm my hectic life down for a brief moment
This band called wookiefoot has a song called have to laugh. I always find myself thinking about it after being frustrated or anxious about something.
I’m sad most of the time but not when I watch a camping with Steve episode Steve is such a good man and seems like a person ide love to share a beer with and talk
Your creativity knows no boundaries!! I think you can officially crown yourself the godfather of stealth camping!
Not ""practicle stealth camping " More like rchestrated click bait stunts"
I lost the love of my life right before you did Steve. Sending love and prayers... keep camping! Your videos have kept me company during some very dark and quiet hours.
Thank you for all you do, and the smiles you bring. We love ya
I'm sorry you lost your love. You have my sympathy.
Me too. He helps me so much !
Crazy Neighbor was a good friend to you Steve. gone but not forgotten ❤
What a great "self stealth" structure. I'm impressed that you and Crazy Neighbor are both Geocachers!
What a hoot! I started in 2013 as a way to get out of the house and get some exercise. Good to see you are helping promote the world wide sport of Geo Caching!
Steve, you sir are an absolute legend. Putting yourself on the billboard was a nice touch.
Thanks Brian! Glad you liked it!
❤😂YOU ARE CRAZY❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol I LOVE IT!!
May God the Father
And
God the Mother bless you both ❤
As someone who works in signage, designs signs, and worked himself up from being an installer - this has got to be my favorite video of yours yet lol. Seeing you and Crazy Neighbor put together that vsign brought back so many memories of driving out to the most remote locations in the county and putting up signs that 99.99% of people would never even think about. One of the most thankless jobs where the only sense of pride is annoying your friends on car-rides by saying "See that 8x8 sign out there? I put that up at 4pm on a Friday while getting assaulted by mosquitos!" lol. You two made this look fun, man. Much love.
Was it worth your working up in that case? If you got no job satisfaction from it.....
@@kevin2true582 Of course I'm just being a little dramatic for comedic effect lol. But there was the self satisfaction of a doing a good job and having a sense of pride after it was all said and done. There was no better way of learning the trade rather than being in in dirt and doing it myself.
I've had co-workers come into design without having field experience before, and there's certain things they've have no way of knowing when without field experience. So I'd say it was absolutely worth it, even if it was awful some days lol.
I'm a fellow CZcamsr that lives five mins from this spot. Watching this video a week late, I'm going to check out the Geocache and see if there is still a Hunker down sticker although I'm sure they are gone by now lol. Good job Steve, I think I drove right past the night you had that up and thought: What the hell is that?
lol, I am watching this 7 months after the deed and I am thinking I might check out that geocache, but I am sure they would be gone by now.
Every time you upload is a good day. Camping with Steve is one of my favorite things to watch to just chill out, especially after a hard week.
If somebody had told me when I was younger that I would spend my time in the future, binge watching older Canadian men, camping behind a billboard that they had constructed themselves........ I would probably have told them to hunker down.... Great work Steve and CN; cuppla legends!!!!!
The Red Green show prepped me for watching these kind of shenanigans from a young age.
True however I think the sign was to far from the road to be seen.
My baby girl was just born, I'm actually watching this while my wife and her sleep. We can see the smoke from where I live in Maine, I'm glad you are safe Steve. Love the videos, they always seem to ground me and calm me down. My 3 year old boy loves watching camping with Steve when he eats breakfast. All in all, thank you for adding something special to everyone's lives with your content and character. Stay strong
Holy moly....CONGRATULATIONS! 😀
Congrats on your new baby!
Congratulations good sir!
*Congrats to you and your wife.* ♥️
Great video! Love the fireflies! Brings back memories of my youth chasing after them. Camping, it's closer than you think indeed!!👍🏻
This was so fun and creative! Thank you for all you do for us Steve and Crazy Neighbor!
"I don't snore, I purr" is the best Crazy Neighbour line ever
Agree
Haha was about to write the exact same thing!
Love it!
I’ve just spent the past 23 minutes and 45 seconds smiling…constantly…there’s not many things in life let alone on CZcams that can have that kind of an effect! Cheers guys 👍
Steve, you have won over another new viewer in me. You are clearly such a good, humble bloke. Keep it up mate. Love the videos :)
This is my favorite one so far. Clever neighbor is a great guy.
we all deserve the kind of friendship that steve and crazy neighbor have
Well, in fact the police did show up. They realized it was “Steve Wallis” and decided it wasn’t worth wrecking the video.
They knew as soon as sunrise, Steve and Crazy Neighbor were leaving the site cleaner than when they showed up
For this billboard video??
As that's so cool that the cops let them just get on with it 😁😁👍👍
