Glad I’m not the only one...take the dog for a walk in my own neighborhood and find myself thinking, “Hmmm...I bet I could camp in that little corner of the park...”
When I pass over culverts as the sun sets on a long day, I like to think Steve is under there, nestled in a cozy shelter cooking himself a pizza quesadilla over a Coleman heater.
"... Don't take this as a instructional channel by any stretch. It's barely even entertainment." LMAO, sir. It's DEFINITELY entertainment! Pretty instructional too.
Tolerates? You realize his videos get hundreds and hundreds of thousands of views right? And that that translates into big money right? Not to mention donations....lol Tolerates...pfft
@@SimpleM4N He didn't always have so many views. Don't know if his wife was with him when he started doing this or if she got with him after he was successful with it, but if she was there from the beginning, there was tolerance.
@@SimpleM4N You dont start with this many views. Plus recording and editing is still hard work and a lot of channels do not many nearly as much money as people think. also youtube takes 30% from every donation.
I'm so new to the channel, I unfortunately found it just days before the news, but I keep getting recommended his videos and they're always fun. This is the first one where it appears Jess is involved (holding the camera), so I'm kind of feeling this one a bit :/
@@ClaytonWillisMusic It was clear that Beautiful Wife was holding the camera in the car at the start of the video since both of Steve's arms & hands are in frame & on the steering wheel, and it was obvious that that is what the other person was referring to (since it's the only part where it happens). You incorrectly said she wasn't holding the camera, maybe you didn't notice or missed that part or forgot, which is fine. However, when several people corrected you, instead of double checking, you kept arguing that you were right when you're not. Chill.
We always talk about what a legend Steve is, but I think we can all agree beautiful wife was the real legend. “Honey can you drive me two hours out of town and drop me off in a highway Median to camp” “Sure” , “honey I’m going to make a raft and go on a week long camping trip with crazy neighbor” “sounds like a plan”. “I know we just got married and all, but mind if we camp for a month and I film it?” “Pure romance, I’m in”, and last but not least, “darn it I lost my lucky boon-docking sweater” “about that…”
Certainly awesome to have a partner that not only doesn't mind your hobbies and/or odd ways...but supports them! I would say that's the exception to the rule unfortunately...beautiful wife is the best! 😉
Such a sad and unfortunate thing to hear. I’m so sorry for your loss Steve.. I know you don’t want to say it, but you know what I mean when I say it. They lied.
Yup. At the start of winter we hate it but by the end of it the air itself is warmer some days and we've all gotten used to it. Won't stop us complaining half the time 😅
I never been to Canada, only flew over it on my way to the States, but I'm pretty sure this was filmed during the Summer, so it was a perfectly fine summer day for him!

My older brother , who was just hit by a car and killed in FLA traveled all over the United States. He traveled by thumb , he stayed in the woods between interstate roads . He had places all over this country . From coast to coast and from Maine to old Mexico. It was how he liked to live . Worked mostly in day labor jobs , but he knew so many places to camp right beside the road and not be seen. He lived on the road and died on the road. 76 and still had a duffle bag on his back . Never would use a back pack. Duffle bag only. But he stepped in a cars path and he left this world doing what made him happy . R I.P. Larry
Steve is like the Dog the Bounty Hunter of the camping world. He’s always like, “Gotta move fast! This could get sketchy!” Then nothing dangerous happens 🙂
As somebody who has spent a bit of time partially homeless and had to spend some nights in my car in areas I wasn't supposed to be, you can never be too careful. I once got busted by an employee at a Walmart because I'd left a set of footprints in the snow going out and back from my car when I had to "use the facilities" as Steve would say.
I honestly accidentally ran in to this page and love it. Steve you literally are awesome And so is your beautiful wife for helping you film and dropping you off to go camping. This is my 5th video and honestly love it 😊 this is great knowledge to know homeless or not.
Nearly 20 years ago I stealth camped my way through Europe most time in France and Italy it was awesome. Was cycling around, just park up and camp. Funniest thing when I got caught a few times the people nearly always offered shelter or food. Awesome memories.
It's a little harder to find people like that today. 24 years ago, when I got lost in France because my youth group gave me the wrong directions for day 2 of 3 of our outdoor "bike and hike" the police dumped me at this kind woman's house, who i couldn't speak to very well, because she knew a bit more English than the officer, and my French was middle school limited. I showed her my camping gear, but she insisted on me using the bed inside the guest room. The next morning I was then arrested, handcuffed and driven into town, released from the handcuffs and put on a bus. I arrived at the final check point 14 hours too early. My bike and equipment arrived 3 hours after I did. And a new city officer waited with me until the youth leader arrived and filled out the paperwork. Most of my friends joked that I broke the speed limit because of my extremely fast finishing time. To this day I still don't know why they cuffed me on my escort to the bus. I was a young teen, who just got separated from my group. I thought I behaved well, but maybe the language barrier caused something I said to be offensive. IDK.
@@outdoor75 well I'm partly to blame, because I got ahead of everyone and was working with the incorrect data. So I don't know where I lost them but it was at least an hour searching for the third landmark that didn't exist in the direction I was traveling before I knew I was in trouble. (One landmark was a fork in the road, and the other was a sign pointing towards Paris. Slightly too common landmarks. Lol) At that point I realized that I didn't have the information for how to get to the next point, and even if I turned around there wasn't anyone left behind to try and follow. I had water, food and my camping gear so I was going to survive the night but I didn't have a cell phone back then. And I abandoned my partner who hated my guts. So I ended up going to the nearest village and flagged down the officer. I could say "I don't speak French." "My name is Mac". And "where is the library?", (Because that phrase made me laugh.) As well as count to 10. I would have been doomed, if I didn't also have a sheet of paper that explains the group I was with and my destination pre typed out in French.
We can watch you "struggle" to get away with some very unusual (at least) campgrounds while we sit at our homes warm enough in front of a computer screen. "That's entertainment!"
My wife has taken me canoeing many, many times over the years. Many times through snowy roads as I like like the winter months to go out. I have floated with the pancake ice on the lower MO River close to thirty years. I have seen some sites. Getting older now and not to many more winter trips left. Thank you Sherry (my wife) Thank you Steve for the videos and thinking outside the box.
When you go to check on the stealthyness of camp maybe next time bring an orange safety vest, trash bag and litter picker upper. It will look like you 're picking up trash.
Steve did that one already to the max . Him and Crazy neighbor pulled off the side of a road set up a bay of scaffolding ( how they fit that in the suv I'll never know) and put on some Hi Vis vests. set traffic cones all around and wrapped the scaff with tarps. inside they had a few planks for sleeping on . He even brought a big blue toooth speaker set up inside and played sounds of drills and hammers etc for a few hours til they went to sleep ! And of course no one bothered them !
"Don't take this as an instructional channel, its barely even entertainment". Made me lol. In a stressful world, I find your videos really relaxing, almost like therapy. So whether that's entertainment or not, thanks for making them anyway.
Hey Steve, for the stealth missions condiment packets from fast food restaurants work better than big bulky containers. Throw a few in a ziplock bag and you will save space in your bag for more step 2. Greetings from a new sub from Miami! Love your videos man! 👍👍👍👍
Just drive around in Western Washington and you will see that kind of non-stealth "camping" all over the place. Far too many homeless people. In Seattle, they are literally sleeping on the concrete pads right next to the freeway in long lines of tents.
"Hey this is camping with Steve. Today we've stown away inside a SpaceX rocket headed to the ISS. Should be fine, looking forward to wedging myself between the first and second stage where I should be able to hunker down."
I love how you're not really an expert outdoorsman, you're just kind of a regular guy doing this cool stuff. Very inspiring! There are plenty of areas around where I live to stealth camp
Life is waaaay too long and so many more years to go. I watch Steve's videos because no matter how bad things are in my life, spending the night in a hammock in the snow drinking a beer, would be worse.
adamaj Hahaha had to use this for a band aid, stupid axe was too sharp. Hahahahahaha, Hahaha, hahaha, I've seen it all now. Hahaha Morning whiskey finger, yum,yum, but aaaaooouuuch. So are you sure the neighbor is crazy???hahaha Thank you Steve, that was the best thing I've seen here ever...hahaha
I know this was 2 years ago but I just discovered your channel. My new favorite night time activity is getting high and binge watching you camp in insane places.
Just purchased my first camping hammock and I was concerned about getting it set up just right. It's so encouraging to see someone making a hammock work without being a knot-master! Thanks for making being in the outdoors more accessible and less scary for folks just getting in to it!
I love this channel. I go camping ⛺️ and it lasts almost all weekend. You go camping n it lasts just about a half hour. It’s awesome. Steve, beautiful wife, crazy neighbor ✌🏼
“Barely even entertainment”? Take that back. Your videos are some of the very few that I watch all the way through with no breaks. Great to see your average dude getting out and having a night out.
@@campingwithsteve They are very relaxing, and pretty fascinating. The stealth camp videos have that little thrill factor while not being too much, it has everything!
@@campingwithsteve Because it's genuine. I don't think it needs to be any more complicated than that. Seeing other people enjoy the simple comforts that we all are craving in the world right now, honestly and simply. Keep doing it. - A Canadian stuck in California
Yes they are super relaxing inhave anxiety and not gonna lie watching you helps you are out there enjoying nature When this is all over im gonna start camping like you. Great channel
I watch his videos and pretend I'm gonna do the same thing. My 8 person family camps alot, sometimes the "rain on a tent" videos are the only videos that can keep me asleep through the night. Thank you for these videos, Steve. I'm in Texas, and I watch every one.
I'm stealth camping behind a Walmart watching this. I'm in the woods about 200m away, close enough to hear people talking and the PA system from the store.
I lived behind a Walmart for about a year in about 5 acres of woods. Made a hotch out of pallets and a tarp. Was a Chinese restaurant down the road gave me a big wok that had a hole in it i used for a fire...pit? It wasn't too bad exept when it rained for like a week straight.
I once lived in a Walmart, only reason why it was no trouble is because it was a 24 hour one, lol. Nothing like having your own restaurant in house, I mean a Subway and even an auto care center even though I didn’t have a car, LOL.
Yea... Im sorry we're going to need more of the story about how you got fired from a cemetery and met your wife. Im glad to see the week I contribute to the beer fund you're drinking the good stuff! Thanks for another great one Steve!
@@Cars0666 I would second your suggestion in general, but he doesn't tell the story in the documentary. Great to see how far he has come since those days.
I'm in absolute love with this channel. Bought merchandise after my first video. It is an absolute pleasure of mine to help support Steve kind living his love the way he wants to! Much love✌
Its been such a strange life-long dream of mine to camp in the wooded median, live in Michigan so its similar . So glad to watch someone actually doing it!
Hey Steve I’ve noticed in the past whenever I would use a hammock I would always bring a ratchet strap it makes it so much easier to set up and by doing so you don’t need to find two perfect trees you can literally set up almost anywhere good luck for future camping cheers
I love when his older videos come across my feed. I can’t believe it has been serval years since I first saw this one. Legendary channel Steve! These videos are like a little time capsule
Hi Steve, love ❤ your videos and helps with sorrow, lost my mom and having hard time, watch your videos and forget about my pain 💔 keep pn truckin my friend, love food stuff..
For someone without the means and ability to go camping as I would like. This channel is quite entertaining. There's a realness lost in more polished survival TV.
I once knew a homeless man in Pittsburgh who often camped on the side of highways. His trick for not being bothered while walking along the roadway was to wear a Hi-Vis vest and a cheap hard hat he bought at the Goodwill for $2. People driving along just assumed he was working nearby on the highway.
Funny how if you look like you belong, so very few people will ever question you. Back in my youth when I had less to lose on several occasions I wandered around in more than a few places with either a clipboard or a hard-hat or both. Add a collared shirt and a couple of pens in the pocket...
I was so used to my presence never being questioned that the first time it happened I was like a deer in the headlights even though I was actually supposed to be there.
This reminds me so much of being a kid. We were sort of a "different" family in that we would camp in similar situations. It was my mom, her BF and myself and we watched a LOT of military/navy seal documentary type videos. My favorite was sneaking into a golf course near our hometown, Sea-Tac WA. We'd all dress up in clothing from the military surplus, sometimes even wearing camo paint on our faces. The goal was to sneak into the course, unnoticed, and spend the night camping in much the way the military does. At the crack of dawn we'd wake up, quietly gather up our things and sneak out before the groundskeepers saw us. More than once we were within 20ft of the workers and they had no idea. Nowadays that's probably a good way to get yourself shot but, man, were those trips a blast. I was 8 to 11 years old and I loved the excitement.
Zack plot twist- they were actually Russian spies and he just grew up thinking it was a game. “ we were sort of a different family” 👈 seeeee 👀.. hahah just kidding just kidding. I would have loved this as a kid. 🤔 or as an adult.
I sometimes see a nice open spot in the trees and tall grasses and feel compelled to just go sit there for a bit and enjoy nature’s beauty....I think I was a deer in my previous life. I totally get it, just wander from one sweet spot to another just enjoying being there.
I also loved that line 😂.... But Steve is selling himself short. These videos are entertaining and instructional. Instructing us to go enjoy the world and our lives whenever and however, even if it’s found in the median of a highway.
I just subscribed. After watching several of your Stealth Camping videos, I couldn't hold out any longer. Great content, and thank you for being safe, respectful of your chosen site, and (mostly!) law-abiding when you do these videos. Very, very cool stuff, Steve!
Call his show what ya want, all I know is this man has alot of people paying his step 2 bill ... for life. Man's not only Canadian but also a genius! Cheers Steve for all the nights of freezing yer balls off for our entertainment. 👍🍻🇨🇦🥶
I smile every time Steve says the word beaver. It's like that word has a permanent exclamation point when he says it. I'm not canadian but I always get excited when i see beaver signs
"Hello RCMP, what can I do for you?" "Yah , there's a guy camping on the highway median." "I think he's gonna hunker down." " His name is Steve, we are well aware of him , pay no attention."
RCMP "He's part of Canada's latest branch of Parks and Recreation. It's called Stealth Camping and has become a boon to sales of camping equipment lately! So we just watch out for him unobtrusively to keep him safe."
I'm an avid hammock camper here in Sweden and just recently found your channel! Love your content, I'm too cowardly to camp in urban spaces but I sometimes get a rush watching you do it, haha! I'm drying my hair watching this so I have captions on, and it kept showing [applause] for the highway sounds which I thought was hilarious. Keep up the good work!!
For all the times I have driven along the highway and causally looked at the woods in the median and wondered what it’s like to be in those woods (as ironically they are the most seen with human eyes but the least explored), now I’m lying in bed at 1230 in the morning watching some random dude on CZcams camp there. The internet is a strange place.
You give homeless people hope. Start a youtube channel and document where you sleep and eat. Love it!!! If I'm ever homeless Steve is teaching me well!! 😚
I've had to camp at medians back when I lived in Ottawa. I used to get stuck on the hwy hitchhiking between Ottawa and Montreal during the winters so the medians were a safe haven when waiting out storms....
Hey Steve, I watched this video this morning and had to tell you that you said something that totally affected me in a positive and profound way. You simply said " another day on this earth" . It made do a little soul searching and not in a bad way, I got my pants on , grabbed my snowboard and hiked a nice nature trail, i even made a video for it on my channel. I wanted to say thanks sir, i love all your videos and your outlook on life which is wacky right now. You are a Canadian treasure and someone i look forward to seeing weekly. Keep on keeping on , if you are ever in New Brunswick holler at me and i will show you around this barely explored corner of our awesome country. Thanks for the videos and words. We are so lucky to have one more day on this earth .
Yeah, I felt that too. It was appreciative. Then he took a deep breath, took a shot and looked at the sunset. While camping in a patch of woods in a highway median. Perfect. I like this guy, first video I've seen of his.
I have always wanted to do this, for whatever strange reason,
Just to do it. Great video👍
mark 1222 . Me too. I look around the city and wish I could try out some places for fun
Glad I’m not the only one...take the dog for a walk in my own neighborhood and find myself thinking, “Hmmm...I bet I could camp in that little corner of the park...”

I'm with you, dunno why 😁
I thought it was just me!
Fact of the day: 50% of apparent Canadian Bigfoot sightings are actually Steve Wallis urban stealth camping
Rick D And in Local news.... Bigfoot sightings are up 100,000% in and around Edmonton AB; which locals say answers to “Step 2 Steve?”
This made me laugh pretty hard.
Lol
Rick D Facts!!
LOL, beat me to the Bigfoot joke!
When I read the title I visualized Steve laying in a sleeping bag on the ground in a 2 meter (6,7 foot) wide median.
Lmao
Me too
Same and I was somewhat disappointed
I think that was the intent of what the people wanted to see.
Kautsky1000 Haha so did I 😂.... that would’ve been great!
When I pass over culverts as the sun sets on a long day, I like to think Steve is under there, nestled in a cozy shelter cooking himself a pizza quesadilla over a Coleman heater.
or a sausage broccoli alfredo pasta
He is. Every time. He's not a man so much as a natural spontaneous phenomenon that develops in culverts.
Pizzadilla
I saw that one! When that car parked on top of it, I thought he was caught.
breakfast whiskey is the best type of whiskey
He never just says wife, he always says beautiful wife. What a guy.
😭
I met Jess and she was a very beautiful lady. Steve is an awesome person!!!!
Always thinking of Steve and Jess.
"... Don't take this as a instructional channel by any stretch. It's barely even entertainment." LMAO, sir. It's DEFINITELY entertainment! Pretty instructional too.

This was my thought
More entertainment not much instructional dudes fire making skills is sub par nonetheless
Perfection!
Well he got the fire going so he can't be that bad!

Yeah I laughed at that as well
Lol
As a teenager I once got drunk and hunkered down on a hill in someone’s backyard. They woke us up because they needed to mow grass lol.
Not much of a hill if they can mow the grass there. It's more of a rise (raised up area - for readers unaccustomed to the term) in their lawn.
He said hill not cliff
Thumbs up for everyone that voted for this, and to have a CZcamsr who will actually care about his audience
I want to go to Canada and shop at "Canadian tire". I live in Seattle so I guess it's doable. Let's go!

Ikr! As soon as I opened the video and saw that it's 38 minutes long, I thought to myself: dis gon be good!
This was a great stealth camping video!
Right on
Steve is like the Dog the Bounty Hunter of the camping world. He’s always like, “Gotta move fast! This could get sketchy!” Then nothing dangerous happens 🙂
Maybe that's partly why nothing happens - he takes every reasonable precaution.
With a lot less ice though if you know what I mean.

We can watch you "struggle" to get away with some very unusual (at least) campgrounds while we sit at our homes warm enough in front of a computer screen. "That's entertainment!"
With unlimited access to our choice of 'step two'! Good fun.
Be safe
I like him because he's real and he comes up with crazy ideas. He seems like the kind of person you'd like to work with.
Agreed: )

I want to know why he was fired! My curiosity has been tweaked! Great channel!
I believe he was stealth camping in a vault.
@@jasonh9957 ha ha!!
How did he manage to get himself fired
Is that true
Steve coming out of the bush by the highway and then darting back in at night is the reason people still report Bigfoot sightings
this got me so good lol

Everyone needs a friend that will drive over an hour to pick you up in the morning because you decided to camp in a highway median for the hell of it.
jehadsound or a wife. Which could be both! (I’m assuming his wife is the one that ends up picking him up?) 😹💕
My wife has taken me canoeing many, many times over the years. Many times through snowy roads as I like like the winter months to go out. I have floated with the pancake ice on the lower MO River close to thirty years. I have seen some sites. Getting older now and not to many more winter trips left. Thank you Sherry (my wife) Thank you Steve for the videos and thinking outside the box.
Maybe he's happy to do it because he just spent the night with "Beautiful wife".... :^)
lol 😂 for the hell of it.
When you go to check on the stealthyness of camp maybe next time bring an orange safety vest, trash bag and litter picker upper. It will look like you 're picking up trash.
LOL
That's a great idea.
That's a genius idea
Steve did that one already to the max . Him and Crazy neighbor pulled off the side of a road set up a bay of scaffolding ( how they fit that in the suv I'll never know) and put on some Hi Vis vests. set traffic cones all around and wrapped the scaff with tarps. inside they had a few planks for sleeping on . He even brought a big blue toooth speaker set up inside and played sounds of drills and hammers etc for a few hours til they went to sleep ! And of course no one bothered them !
"Don't take this as an instructional channel, its barely even entertainment". Made me lol. In a stressful world, I find your videos really relaxing, almost like therapy. So whether that's entertainment or not, thanks for making them anyway.
Experts: Everyone hunker down at home for 3 months!
Steve: Highway median here I come!

its legal he is alone out there XD

Hey Steve, for the stealth missions condiment packets from fast food restaurants work better than big bulky containers.
Throw a few in a ziplock bag and you will save space in your bag for more step 2.

Just drive around in Western Washington and you will see that kind of non-stealth "camping" all over the place. Far too many homeless people. In Seattle, they are literally sleeping on the concrete pads right next to the freeway in long lines of tents.
Same. My commute is now Campsearch-amute.
I love how Steve always says "The beautiful wife just dropped me off". So much respect.

this takes drinking on the side of the road and elevates it to an art form, keep up the good work!
"it's barely entertainment" as we watch it for the second time :) better than 90% of what's on netflix
So very true! I think this is my third time lol.
Probably my third time
So True. Even the survival shows have been bastardized. Nekkid and afraid is just ridiculous. Just found this chan and im binge watching now.
I thought the same - that's why I love CZcams, just normal people doing organic things than the rubbish that's on TV/Netflix
I just hope that all you generous donars to the 'beer-foundation' keep donating .. so that the rest of us poor cheap-skates can keep watching ; )
I love how you're not really an expert outdoorsman, you're just kind of a regular guy doing this cool stuff. Very inspiring! There are plenty of areas around where I live to stealth camp
He was in the military though
Yes good to know you dont need bushcraft skills to do these kinds of camping or camping in general.
@àsper Get outtahere
Steve makes me want to start living before I eventually go. I feel like I’ve been putting things off and Steve reminds me that life is just too short.
Well said
Life is waaaay too long and so many more years to go. I watch Steve's videos because no matter how bad things are in my life, spending the night in a hammock in the snow drinking a beer, would be worse.
Now every time I see footprints in the snow heading to a median, I’ll be checking for Steve
Spends the night in highway median - calls neighbor 'crazy'.
Beautiful wife drops him off, laughs all the way home.
🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha that's a good one! It's all subjective I guess.
I know, I said that too and the last time!
Any story that starts with, "I had just been fired from my job at the cemetery, which is where I met my wife." is going to be good.
Yes, we need to hear that.
Stephen King would like that intro for sure!
Was your Beautiful wife alive or dead when you met her!

Having a step 2 while watching Steve have a step 2, this is the life!
steve has tapped into something special, these videos are very very satisfying

I know this was 2 years ago but I just discovered your channel. My new favorite night time activity is getting high and binge watching you camp in insane places.
Drug addict get your life together man
Just purchased my first camping hammock and I was concerned about getting it set up just right. It's so encouraging to see someone making a hammock work without being a knot-master! Thanks for making being in the outdoors more accessible and less scary for folks just getting in to it!
I enjoyed having a say in what the next video is, the polls are nice.
😂Steve, I mean this in the most affectionate way, but, I think that probably YOU are the “crazy neighbor”... LOL!
I love this channel. I go camping ⛺️ and it lasts almost all weekend. You go camping n it lasts just about a half hour. It’s awesome.

“Barely even entertainment”? Take that back. Your videos are some of the very few that I watch all the way through with no breaks. Great to see your average dude getting out and having a night out.
Thanks! I do wonder sometimes why people watch haha, I sit there editing it thinking nobody would possibly watch this one. Cheers!!!
@@campingwithsteve They are very relaxing, and pretty fascinating. The stealth camp videos have that little thrill factor while not being too much, it has everything!
@@campingwithsteve Because it's genuine. I don't think it needs to be any more complicated than that. Seeing other people enjoy the simple comforts that we all are craving in the world right now, honestly and simply. Keep doing it.

Yes they are super relaxing inhave anxiety and not gonna lie watching you helps you are out there enjoying nature
When this is all over im gonna start camping like you. Great channel
I watch his videos and pretend I'm gonna do the same thing.
My 8 person family camps alot, sometimes the "rain on a tent" videos are the only videos that can keep me asleep through the night.
Thank you for these videos, Steve. I'm in Texas, and I watch every one.
One would have to wonder if Steve is really the “crazy neighbor”!?
I love this man so much. He is my daily reprieve
I'm stealth camping behind a Walmart watching this. I'm in the woods about 200m away, close enough to hear people talking and the PA system from the store.
Stacy Smith . Brilliant. Everyone needs to do this
Which Walmart store sir?
Nice! Stay stealthy!
I lived behind a Walmart for about a year in about 5 acres of woods. Made a hotch out of pallets and a tarp. Was a Chinese restaurant down the road gave me a big wok that had a hole in it i used for a fire...pit? It wasn't too bad exept when it rained for like a week straight.
I once lived in a Walmart, only reason why it was no trouble is because it was a 24 hour one, lol. Nothing like having your own restaurant in house, I mean a Subway and even an auto care center even though I didn’t have a car, LOL.
Yea... Im sorry we're going to need more of the story about how you got fired from a cemetery and met your wife. Im glad to see the week I contribute to the beer fund you're drinking the good stuff! Thanks for another great one Steve!
Beautifully worded,my thoughts exactly.
Yeah, I wondered how he got fired too. Camping in the wrong grave?
Watch his documentary, "boondocking" I think?
@@Cars0666 I would second your suggestion in general, but he doesn't tell the story in the documentary. Great to see how far he has come since those days.

Hey Steve I’ve noticed in the past whenever I would use a hammock I would always bring a ratchet strap it makes it so much easier to set up and by doing so you don’t need to find two perfect trees you can literally set up almost anywhere good luck for future camping cheers

Steve is to stealth camping videos as Les Stroud is to survival vids. He has created the genre.

“Oh a friendly train” I laughed until I cried!!! 😂 😂 😂
As apposed to a violent train 🤭
I had flashbacks to the rail yard episode.
Steve really is the bob ross of camping

Hi Steve, love ❤ your videos and helps with sorrow, lost my mom and having hard time, watch your videos and forget about my pain 💔 keep pn truckin my friend, love food stuff..
We are all that trucker that honked at Steve.
I was hoping to find the trucker in the comments saying, "that was me!"
Same, did you find it? I haven’t:(
For someone without the means and ability to go camping as I would like. This channel is quite entertaining. There's a realness lost in more polished survival TV.
I once knew a homeless man in Pittsburgh who often camped on the side of highways. His trick for not being bothered while walking along the roadway was to wear a Hi-Vis vest and a cheap hard hat he bought at the Goodwill for $2.
People driving along just assumed he was working nearby on the highway.
Funny how if you look like you belong, so very few people will ever question you. Back in my youth when I had less to lose on several occasions I wandered around in more than a few places with either a clipboard or a hard-hat or both. Add a collared shirt and a couple of pens in the pocket...
I was so used to my presence never being questioned that the first time it happened I was like a deer in the headlights even though I was actually supposed to be there.
Ricochet Steve did that before when he camped out with crazy neighbour in the ice fishing tent by the railway
The police probably gave him the hi vis items for his own safety.
I’ve got to say… you are doing what I’ve been dreaming every time I drive down the free way. I see so many nice spots to do this in.
Love the excitement when he started the fire and took another sip
This reminds me so much of being a kid. We were sort of a "different" family in that we would camp in similar situations. It was my mom, her BF and myself and we watched a LOT of military/navy seal documentary type videos. My favorite was sneaking into a golf course near our hometown, Sea-Tac WA. We'd all dress up in clothing from the military surplus, sometimes even wearing camo paint on our faces. The goal was to sneak into the course, unnoticed, and spend the night camping in much the way the military does. At the crack of dawn we'd wake up, quietly gather up our things and sneak out before the groundskeepers saw us. More than once we were within 20ft of the workers and they had no idea. Nowadays that's probably a good way to get yourself shot but, man, were those trips a blast. I was 8 to 11 years old and I loved the excitement.
LOL this is amazing.
Zack plot twist- they were actually Russian spies and he just grew up thinking it was a game. “ we were sort of a different family” 👈 seeeee 👀.. hahah just kidding just kidding. I would have loved this as a kid. 🤔 or as an adult.
So amazing to have a mom (and a mom's boyfriend) so up for doing cool shit like that!
Thank you, it really was a great time in my life! One of those memories I often think back to.
This Channel is oddly calming and quite enjoyable to watch. Keep it up mate!
The anxiety relief is so real with this channel can’t go wrong with camping
@@HD-wv4ul it is amazing

I read the title, looked at the thumbnail again, and burst out laughing! Only you, Steve. 👍🏻😂
I sometimes see a nice open spot in the trees and tall grasses and feel compelled to just go sit there for a bit and enjoy nature’s beauty....I think I was a deer in my previous life. I totally get it, just wander from one sweet spot to another just enjoying being there.
Crazy neighbor is also a " Crazy Great Friend" be willing to drive and pick you up.
"dont take this as an instructional channel, its barely even entertainment" hahahaha hilarious! i do find your videos entertaining, though!
I also loved that line 😂.... But Steve is selling himself short. These videos are entertaining and instructional. Instructing us to go enjoy the world and our lives whenever and however, even if it’s found in the median of a highway.

I'm an avid hammock camper here in Sweden and just recently found your channel! Love your content, I'm too cowardly to camp in urban spaces but I sometimes get a rush watching you do it, haha! I'm drying my hair watching this so I have captions on, and it kept showing [applause] for the highway sounds which I thought was hilarious. Keep up the good work!!
I legit just love watching you do little things like this. It's so inspiring to just enjoy those basics
For all the times I have driven along the highway and causally looked at the woods in the median and wondered what it’s like to be in those woods (as ironically they are the most seen with human eyes but the least explored), now I’m lying in bed at 1230 in the morning watching some random dude on CZcams camp there. The internet is a strange place.

I've had to camp at medians back when I lived in Ottawa. I used to get stuck on the hwy hitchhiking between Ottawa and Montreal during the winters so the medians were a safe haven when waiting out storms....
Hey Steve, I watched this video this morning and had to tell you that you said something that totally affected me in a positive and profound way. You simply said " another day on this earth" . It made do a little soul searching and not in a bad way, I got my pants on , grabbed my snowboard and hiked a nice nature trail, i even made a video for it on my channel. I wanted to say thanks sir, i love all your videos and your outlook on life which is wacky right now. You are a Canadian treasure and someone i look forward to seeing weekly. Keep on keeping on , if you are ever in New Brunswick holler at me and i will show you around this barely explored corner of our awesome country. Thanks for the videos and words. We are so lucky to have one more day on this earth .
