    There was a severe cold warning but that didn't stop me from doing some camping this week. I did my first multi-night stealth camping trip, and it was strangely relaxing to not have to pack up after the first night. I used the propane Mr. buddy heater to keep warm and the hunting blind to blend into the woods as good as possible.

    The first video I saw was the tragic heartbreaking news of your loss. I now am catching up and exploring your videos. Now, I am a 68 year old woman( from the US, live here too) . Not a camper at all, must admit I lean more to comfy yet modest rentals of typical modern comfort. I also am wheelchair bound with one leg. I share this to say I marvel at how fascinating, educating even, caring, …so many things that your videos are proving to be for me. I also enjoy learning more bits and seeing areas of Canada as I had hoped to have traveled A LOT More in beautiful Canada than I have. Thank you for all you do, and I am so glad I found the channel and subscribed. Very well done and you are a natural narrator, a documentarian . Ongoing wishes for comfort and peace ..what one can possibly carve out in your path.

Reflecting on this, Camping with Steve is a bit of a slice of life for me, where I get to see how Steve overcomes struggles in life and pushes forward, with amazing humility and an incredible heart. Keep it going Steve, this channel has made a big difference for me in these trying times!

    In a world that's going increasingly crazy (in a bad way), your videos bring a little bit of fun, a zany sort of good crazy to help us counter all the negatives that keep filling the news. I can't thank you enough for that.
    I do admit to finding the stealth camping episodes a bit more stressful than the other types, just because I always end up worrying about what would happen if you got caught.
    If you ever find that you need to cut back on the stealth, I would still be perfectly content with regular camping, traveling, rafting and whatever other adventures come your way both alone and with Beautiful Wife and/or Crazy Neighbor. It's all good.
    As for the Beer Donation, it's your decision. Doing it the way you are might be more work and/or pressure than Patreon (spelling?), or it might not. Which method you can handle is up to you. But please don't think that you don't deserve the support. You spend time, energy, money and resources doing what you do, and sharing it with us so we can enjoy your experiences.
    This is so important to so many people that the Beer Donation did develop just by people reaching out to you. I wish that I was still in a position to donate myself, because you're one of the few people that I would reach out to in gratitude.
    Being in the public eye means that no matter what you do, or don't do, or change, or keep the same, there's always going to be a few who object. But I firmly believe that there are many of us who will support whatever direction(s) you go. Stay safe, hunker down and just be yourself... we'll be happy.
