  • Hi everyone, I am touching base with a borderline boring update to let you all know my plans. I appreciate all of you who have offered kind words, words of wisdom, and compassion during this time. The camping will continue and we will see how this all works out.

      Hey Steve!
      I hope some of my "step 2" things from RPMfest weren't too horrible.
      I know 1 was a certain style of "Spring water" called of all things, liquid Death.
      I was trying to have something funny but it may not've come off that way.
      I did try for a more full fledged video which I have on my channel that I dedicated to you, your fans & anybody else from that same event & tried to put it on the FB page but I guess that didn't make it.. Again, I tried to make things humorous by showing all my "camping neighbors" & posed a jokey question to you asking you if you ever had that as a situation.

    Hi Steve. I have to be honest and say that while I'm not a follower of your channel, my parents are close friends of your in-laws, Jess's parents, and I feel moved to leave a comment. I didn't know Jessica all that well, though we do share a name and a shoe size (which I know because she took a lot of my cast-offs when we were teens--good taste, that one!). However, I was deeply affected by her passing and attended her beautiful funeral service with my parents. What I do remember about Jess was her gentle, ready smile, and just how warm she was. I will always remember how welcoming and at ease she seemed, and that's exactly how she made others feel by extension. I also remember seeing a piece of gorgeous, brilliantly colorful art that Jessica had made hanging in her parents' home (I believe it was a lion, but this was a few years ago now, so I could be wrong). When I saw it, I was moved to tears. Before then, I'd had no idea that she was such an immensely talented artist. I hope this comment isn't unwelcome or insensitive; I know you're still grieving and I cannot imagine what you must be going through. But your comment in this video that this channel is called camping with Steve and not grieving with Steve... I think the main part to remember is "WITH Steve." Your followers clearly care deeply for you, and I hope you continue to draw comfort from that. Your positive attitude shines through here, and that's incredibly admirable. I can easily picture Jess smiling at you for it. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers, friend.

You're always gonna love your wife and you're always gonna miss her. There will be tough days and there will be good days.

It's OK to be upbeat if you're feeling upbeat, and it's OK to come back down if that's where your heart is. You are a growing person, just like all of us, and being vulnerable helps us bond and know we are not alone. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t understand what you’re feeling but I’m here (along with thousands of others) to support you. I’m going through a divorce right now and it sucks too. I love ya man.

    You just made me cry…(Couldn’t cry for 5 years) with the sentence:“ this is not grieving with Steve but camping with Steve”. It just shows what kind of a person you are and why people follow you. Yeah your camping is fun and all but your are the treasure! Thank you

      Hi Steve I lost my husband 30 years ago, we were young like you and your wife, totally un expected. Two things I learned from that experience…. Loss is like the ocean sometimes it is high tide and a sneaker wave of grief will hit you out of no where. Two, a loss of a spouse is like a nuclear bomb has gone off in only your living room. 30 years later my life is good, I have never forgotten my husband, but the pain has mostly morphed into gratitude.

    My wife died 3 years ago and I still miss her- mourning doesn’t stop, but it gets easier and your wife will always be a part of you. Good luck with your new adventure!

      Yeah. Grab him, wipe his tears away, take away the hurt, and tell him everything will be ok. (Tears in my eyes thinking about the jerks that would kick someone while they are down. So pathetic.) Hang in there Steve. We will go camping with you again very soon.

    I've been avoiding your Chanel for the last months, because I couldn't handle the pain of your last video. I'm glad that you are back on track. I still am afraid because I know one day I will have to deal with that pain myself. But you give me some kind of hope that there is a life after the darkness. Thank you.

    Hi Steve, we first heard of your loss from Tony on AB Camping a year or so ago. Inwanted to contact you then but did not have yhe name then of your site. Now we are subscribers, and are really enjoying your videos. In do want to tell you that it will get better, and now, hopefully a year later it has. I lost my husband in an auto accident when I was 25 with a 3 year old daughter, and now I have a new life and a 54 year old marriage with a great husband and father of 2 girls.
    I'm now 81 years of age, and wish you great joy in your new future life.

      Feel sorry for them. They got to be in a really bad place to hate themselves that much and attack people that are vulnerable.
      Anger is a terrible way to live your life.

      I've been on CZcams long enough to know, these people aren't fans. They will literally see what is trending and come to spray negativity, and if the CZcamsr in question is having a hard time, all to the better. I've seen people obviously using multiple accounts -- replying to a question with the wrong handle is the proof -- just stirring up "Drama" to amuse themselves. Pretty much nothing to be done about people like that.
