Blanket Fort Camping

- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I have finally completed my lifelong dream. To camp in a blanket fort! It seems silly, but it actually worked out better than I thought. I went to a regular campground with other respectable campers and put together a blanket fort with rachet straps, clamps, and tent pegs. It was a very acceptable camping shelter and a relaxing couple of days!

I feel like we've witnessed a real evolution in your culinary skills. You've gone from fritos with chilli and cheese to halibut with a white wine reduction and fresh veggies. You're a legend.
damn I forgot. He really put molten hot chili in a bag of Fritos huh?
The Frito Pie! I can't wait to make one when I go camping next! Nothing against halibut and salad though, that looked amazing.
Hey Mom! The guy camping in the blanket fort is making a halibut salad with a white wine reduction and deglazing his pan. Are the hot pockets you put into the microwave for dinner ready yet? 🤣🤣
Ha ! I do love his giant one pot meals enough for -a family of 4.
I want the recipe for the fish dish.
There was a glint in your eye during this camp Steve that we haven’t - understandably - seen for awhile. I hope this little camping trip brought you the happiness/peace it seemed to in the video.
I 100% agree!
the little look up and smirk when he was prepping food.
Perfectly said
Looks from the neighbors. It’s not about the blankets. Instead they are whispering to each other, “Do you think that’s Steve Wallis?” “I’m not sure. You ask.” “No, you ask.” Putting up blankets - “They were all out of tents.” They keep stealing glances. “Oh, there’s the Step 2. Definitely Steve.”
That smile we all love! Lost my wife July 2021. I know how hard those smiles are to come by.
The fact he redonated the blankets sums up why I love this channel. In a world of shallow influencers and douchey rich kids pranking others for internet clout a kind man enjoying simple things gives me hope. Thanks for being you Steve!
Love the channel for the same reason and the cool places he finds to camp.

💯💯💯
I'm happy that he kept the outdoor themed blanket. I hope we see it used in another video!
Love it ❤
You can thank my grandma Anna for the quilt with the canoe’s. Donated that a month or two back and this is not how I thought I’d run back into it 😂
small world!! That's so cool
Thank you grandma Anne
Your
Blanket fort looks really warm and comfy
I hope you show her the video. 😊
That’s too cool!
You kept me sane while you suffered. I am so sorry for what happened. Thanks Steve for always being there. You will never know who you supported while you needed support, but you sustained.
Very well said
Amen! ❤
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Absolutely.
Steve, dude.
You made straight up picture perfect sunny side up eggs and pancakes over a campfire...
While camping in freezing temperatures in a blanket fort. Just one of the reasons you're my favorite UA-camr.
I told my friends that he's Canadian Bob Ross but with camping instead of painting. An absolute gem.
And then the giggle as he says "I like when the syrup gets on the eggs". What a wholesome dude...
@@dustink9297 That’s a totally perfect description of Steve!
@@WowJustWow37 thank you :)
I even said out loud: "How does he make perfect eggs on a campfire like that?" :D LOL!
Only a legend like Steve could pull off camping for 2 nights in winter with only blankets, pins and a ratchet strap. I really want to try this sometime.
and yet, that's all some people have...
Saaadly, for all you Texans and Angelos
today, and more so - in the coming y'Ears!
🥶"Brrr! "
@@8088I Put up blanket forts in your living rooms ....
@@jasondrummond9451 :-))
I totally agree. Here in the US in the winter most camp sites in the northern states are closed. A few of Crazy Quady videos in the winter he has a hard time finding camp sites that are open.
How can anyone not love this guy? What a pleasant corner of UA-cam. God bless you brother
yeah he makes videos based off of what his inner child wants to do you gotta love that stuff
"Ran out of tents". My favorite line. 😊 Love the blanket fort.
"There's a fine line between looking creepy and looking whimsical." Words to live by. Thanks for landing on the whimsical side! Loved the blanket fort and the camp grub you made.
Awesomeness
Steve, suddenly sounding distant and hollow: “…I’m having salad for dinner…”
Cut to Steve staring pensively at a campfire, devoid of food and a Step 2.
This was an Emmy award winning performance. ❤
Indeed, very upscale camping cuisine.
That was a clip from another video with Jess having made him eat a salad. Funny moment in video.
Steve's ability to maintain his whimsy and humor after everything he has been through, I find to be absolutely remarkable and inspiring. No doubt there are private moments we don't see, and that's perfectly okay - healthy to the healing process even - but his commitment to continue on doing what he knows Jess would have wanted is truly a testament not only to his character but to his love and devotion to honoring her memory. Thanks for all you do, Steve. You are an inspiration to many, whether you feel that way or even believe it yourself.
I'm so thankful he is strong enough to follow his dream, what his beautiful wife would have wanted.
I can honestly say he ranks at the top for amazing people I know/follow, such an awesome aura & soul ❤
❤❤100!
I’ve only just stumbled across this guy. What happened? I’m assuming that his spouse passed away?
That smash cut from Steve saying "I'm having salad tonight" to him looking depressed and staring into the fire is a bit of editing genius!
Throwback to a video where he & beautiful wife were on a camping trip in the bus & he tells us she said they're having salad for supper & he shows a long pause of him staring at the fire & looking sad! It was a great, as are all his videos of course, but I've been waiting for him to have salad on a camping trip again ever since!
Lol! What a great reference!
Honestly, how could someone not love this dude!! Steve, you are a light in the darkness, thank you!!
The world needs more Steves
🙏
He sacrificed his wife.
I don't buy that but it's going around youtube with proof
Steve, I have had the worst week ever, and this completely made my day ❤ thank you and cheers buddy! You are the best!
😍
Happy to help!
Speaking of Pavlov... Yes, all the other guys know you're being a good boy and obeying the orders issued by beer commercials. You don't have to worry that they'll think you're weird now.
here's hoping for a better tomorrow , Ya'll!🥰
Sometimes life leaves us blind, but love keeps us kind and it will all be ok in the end...I promise.
A blanket fort and Jiffy pop. Thank you Steve. Took me back about 40 years.
You can tell Steve is healing, I can see his old self coming back to life. Love it either way tho!
You can 100% tell that Steve is not well, I have no idea what you guys are watching. You would be the equivalent of the "he seemed to be such a nice guy" type of folks after a disaster.
@@zoltanszoke2676 I think this comment speaks more about yourself than it does anyone else... onwards and upwards buddy.
@@mdd4866 I hope you are right.
Sending some love to one of the best Canadians on UA-cam. Love your channel, Steve.
This video really hit me in the childhood, but at the same time combined with my current adult life. Blanket forts were a huge thing in my childhood that I did with my parents and siblings, but I didn't start camping until I was in my 20's and that is something I only do with my husband and in-laws. You've made a beautiful thing here, Steve, and I thank you for it. And I hope you are doing well, or as well as you can. ❤️
Same but in a different way lol I was homeless and lived in a tent with my gf from 15-18, sounds horrible but tbh it was some of the best semi carefree moments of my life, would never wanna go back tho! Lmfao
@@firmfire2385 I know that feeling. It's so strange to pine for something yet not want it again at the same time.
@@ens0246 spot on think hatsI love campin
Being homeless teaches you things you would never bother about if you were never there I still appreciate the simple things in life 💙🏴💙🏴
currently HUNKERING DOWN in a motel bc my family lost our house due to the bank taking it. your videos bring me comfort knowing you were strong enough to get through tougher situations than me.
Due to the bank taking it due to not making mortgage payments?
@@susanfudge1737 Grandparents the owners passed.
What's with all the fudge in here?
@@skrillexfudge1699 But shouldn't you have inherited it?
The banks can't take it unless you go quite a long time without paying.
@@darksu6947 What's with the Satanic crap?
"I haven't seen a BLANKET of snow like this in a FORTNIGHT" 😂Steve, I feel pure eye watering glee watching your silly antics! Thanks for doing what you do!
It's 1 am and I'm watching your vid as part of a routine to calm myself. I have bad anxiety tonight. My late husband's birthday is today. I'm finding it ironic that your vids help me cope through grief. I know you lost your wife recently. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a horrendous experience. I'm encouraged by your channel. I love the outdoors. All the scenery you film is very soothing. Sending peaceful vibes your way.
You made me feel like a child again Steve. This was an epic camp and I bet everyone would have loved to give this a go. That's for putting this video out. I really enjoyed it.
Steve, a few years ago I fell asleep with my husband beside me and woke up very much alone. I hope and pray you won’t listen to any negative comments. Stay strong and positive, you deserve happiness and I have no doubt that’s what your beautiful wife (and my handsome husband) would want. Keep on going!! I love your UA-cam, especially your cooking 😊 Keep being you ❤️
When I was very young, I used to make believe I was a great wilderness explorer and built blanket forts in our living room, where I would sleep for several days at a time. This video brought a wave of nostalgia for me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go give my mother a hug for indulging the imagination of 5 year old me.
My grandma covered all the walls in her house with blankets. People always thought she was crazy but she just liked the comfort it brought her and it does help block out sound.
Ikea has curtain wire. I just received my order for it today so I can cover my wall with fabric And a few light weight pictures.
Good ol’ Grandma. ❤👍
It would also help block out cold in winter and heat in summer.
@@jeanm9521 that’s why castles used to have huge curtains hanging on the walls
Oh Harry! What a wonderful thing to share with us. Thank you❤️
The little smile when Steve says : "I like it when the syrup gets on the eggs". Its moments like this that make me love this channel! Keep up the great work Steve.
And the perfection of the two pats of butter on a gorgeous stack of pancakes 🥞 😋
It was adorable!
Omg he's a real artist. No one can copy his style!!
I've watched this one again and again. Had me laughing every time. Blanket fort, return of the "sad salad" shot, gourmet campfire cooking , complete with wine and Salt Bae, breakfast, 2nd night, and Jiffy pop too! Instant classic!
"There's a fine line between creepy and whimsical.." 🤣 Steve strikes again! Got everyone rolling! 🙌
That made me lol
A dude in a blanket fort in the middle of winter is exactly the kind of people I wanna surround myself with. Awesome idea and a great video. Makes me realize how badly I need to get out in the woods.
Considering what you've been through, the fact that you still show up with these great videos says a lot about your character. Keep calm and carry on. I'm sure Jess would be proud of how you've handled this situation as are all of us. Carry on camping Steve. Tony
btw tarp draped over the top solves the rain problem.
Agreed, well said 👍
Beautiful wife is looking down on him, keeping him warm with her radiant smile.💜
It’s because it’s his job
@@MarcusDET it's actually because this makes him happy, and he loves to make his fans happy.
What a mundane perspective.
Steve, it's glad to have you back!
This is Genuine, happy Steve OG material! Jess, is with you and it glows and shows when you are able to be that "kid" you are.
steve is the big brother, who teaches you cool stuff, then gives you something good to eat.
Uncle Steve
@@Dan-we7vs Lieutenant Dan? Ice cream!
Steve. It's so nice to see you truly smile again since loosing your wife. I bet she was watching you and having a chuckle while you were setting up the blankets.
Now I want to make a blanket fort and have a good time. Thanks for helping us all. 😀👍
Your tent is so pretty and cosy looking, it actually reminds me of when I was a child my brother and me used to make indoor tents from blankets and sheets draped over diningroom chairs and sometime the diningroom table and chairs we had old pots and pans and a tiny china teaset with plates, cups and saucers, teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl plastic knives and forks and my grandma made tiny little sandwhiches so they would fit the tiny plates, thanks to lots of imagination and things found indoors we had a wonderful school holiday playing at camping. Sometime the diningroom table was also a train carriage and a western stage coach too. We had such fun, sadly this didn't transfer to real camping, due to my fear of enclosed spaces which made me feel to enclosed in a tent, Now I probably would enjoy it now as tents are so much bigger now, rather fancy camping in a yurt but I think at 71 I might find the colder nights too much for my aching bones, but I would like to try it in the summer time, perhaps at a proper campsite somewhere here in Britain
Love it! “Fine line between creepy and whimsical!” ❤😂🎉
That's "our" Steve!
It's the line I've been walking my entire life :D
The little salt bae splash into the shallots gave me all the life I needed to make it through this day. We all love you Steve.
It was that nodding smirk for me. Like "yeah, I just did that, pretty epic i know"
Steve, you are an absolute gem in this crazy world. Never change, my friend! Thank you!
"I haven't seen a blanket of snow like this in a fortnight." Delicious puns, great video, and it all happened in basically our backyard. Welcome to the island Steve, hope we're treating you well!
I love how Steve says the blankets smell like a thrift store, and even though i live 2000+ miles from his location, I could smell the blankets through the screen.
Absolutely....
Thanks for the videos, Steve. You bring a smile to a lonely, homesick trucker who hunkers down in the sleeper berth of his truck at the end of the day after traveling the USA. You're great and I wish you all the best.
Thank God for truckers, without you our stores would be empty. ❤
Keep on trucking fella!
Without trucks the country would stop
Nothing like watching a camping video while your camping. This was much needed entertainment. Love this channel.
“they were all out of tents!” 😂 ❤🌲🐿
😂🤣😂🤣
I thought it was hilarious as well.
What is hilarious is there is a tent laying on top of a pizza oven just next to his SUV.
When I was a kid my next door neighbor’s dad was a painter and his son and I hung one of his large paint tarps over his mother’s double clothesline and used blankets and clothespins for the front and rear “doors”.
Your blanket tent took me back 60 years, thanks!!!
Who hasn’t wanted to sleep in a blanket tent? This was great. The dinner looked great too.
That looked very comfortable. Love it
Steve, you rocked it in this video! Your sense of humor, your culinary skills,and your minimalist survival blanket tent was spot on!!
You’ve inspired me to call my Grandkids and do a blanket tent real soon!
They love making chair
sheet tents all the time!!
Carry on and keep hunkering down.
Awesome! Thank you!
Here you are living my childhood dream. Sleeping in a blanket fort in the “real” outdoors was probably a dream for many of us. It looks as cool as I imagined.
Steve, gettin through this thing called life....not so easy...appreciate your quests for simple happy steps.
"Mom can I build a blanket fort in the yard and sleep in it overnight"
"don't be silly son, nobody sleeps in a blanket fort outside, anyway the yard is covered in snow"
40 years later steve does it anyway
In my teenage days I was a hugh fan off McGyver ... 30 years later I must say that Steve is the real stealthcamping McGyver ... Pure genius. Wish you all the best Steve, take care ... A follower from across the Atlantic Ocean in mainland Europe. and to say it in Steve's words ... "Cheers everybody"
Ironically my 3 year old son just discovered the joy of making blanket forts this past week. Taught him to “hunker down” and he pretends to sleep inside. Seeing Steve do the same made me smile :)
Teach him step #2
Love It! Now I WANNA go camping in a blanket fort in the snow!!! Great video, and that brown and tan woodsy patterned blanket made it look really sharp, too!
I remember making blanket forts as a kid. When you were setting up, all I could think of is how quiet it will be inside. It's one of the things i remember. Parents couldn't hear us whispering in the fort. Thank you for this Steve, brings back alot of memories of my childhood.
I’m glad it brought back great childhood memories for you. Thanks for letting me know. 😀
I thought the exact same thing, what great memories! Took Steve to bring those back for me❤
Every episode is like a breath of fresh air after being in a stuffy room too long- thank you! You are inspiring in so many ways.
Love you Steve, stay strong and hunker down!
Love this outside of the box camping. I feel like an easy upgrade for snow / rain could be a tarp thrown under the flooring and over the top and your set ! Something nostalgic about the blankets. Plus the fact you stayed for a second day says it all ! Cheers 🍻
Five minutes in and I'm all smiles. Thank you Steve for your amazing videos and that tent sure looks cozy.
God bless you, im happy you got to live out your 400 year dream. So fun to watch.🙏😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love it when you are all cosy for the night. Sleeping in the open is so entertaining but love it when you have shelter.
Steve, you sound great, cheery and light, and thank you for living out your fort dreams with us I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
“They were all out of tents” 😂. Steve has an excuse for every awkward situation.
I cracked up at that one lol 😆 😂 🤣
Bringing it back in the day!!
Glad you had a great time in your blanket fort! Hoping things are going well for you. Thanks for letting us enjoy your adventures!
Yay Steve, I miss camping and you are my window into the simple pleasures! Thank you for uploading my friend!!
Love the little sly look on Steve’s face when he says, “I like when the syrup gets on the eggs”
This is why we love Steve, Spontaneous ideas and brilliant to watch. He is living a camping dream❤ hope your keeping well Steve and here’s to the next adventure
Nice blanket fort. Yummy Halibut dinner. Thanks for taking us along.
Seeing you out there somewhere in stealth and hunkering down somehow makes me feel secure in peace. Thanks much, Steve!
My 7 year old grandson got me making a den out of blankets this evening. Great fun.
This is awesome👍!!!
I adore this guy. His knowledge, ability, ingenuity and calming demeanour reminds me that amazing people exist.
When I was 1st homeless back in the 90s all I had was two blankets and two cans of corn beef hash a can of spam a pack of frozen bratwurst it rained of course for 6 days. I knew I could not sleep in my car. Cause I was a drinking man back then I set one blanket up on a make shift lean to witch was garbage. And kept the second one dry. It very amazing what a thick comforter will do to shed the rain I kept the other one kind a dry and made it through it. I was very scared Temps getting down in the 40s this is why i appreciate your videos so much. I garentee that you have had these same hard time and learned. I would love to hear your stories from thus time in your life would make for really really good conversations while your cooking and safe. Just saying
This one made me feel really cozy inside and took me to a happy place, almost like childhood. Thanks for these videos and I really appreciate your channel, especially during times when I find it hard to appreciate anything at all. You're awesome Steve!
this stuff is just good for the soul
This has been the best way to start winding down the work week, so happy the blanket fort went well. You are an absolute inspiration to keep putting yourself out there the way you do, love you brother.
It only is this a great camping channel. It is also a great cooking channel!
A camping adventure like this where you have had envisioned it for 40 years and turns out to be one of your best brings a huge smile to my face! I am so happy you enjoyed it and I hope you have many more like it!
"All men think about is sex "
Men thinking about making their blanket fort(and even more so now after this video):
😂😂😂
All men want to do this 😂😂we've been making forts since childhood
Quick witted dry humour, the “fort night” pun, and just bringing out the whimsical child in all of us, made this video absolutely infectious! I actually lost it with the wrist flick on the second grinder spice! On the other hand, it really tugged at my heart watching your solo walk to the waters edge.
Hahahaha!!!! I died!
Like my Dad always says when he cracks that 1st beer, " A man's gotta relax" . Love this vid Steve because everybody has made a fort and you took yours out for a spin. 2 thumbs WAY up 👍👍
I’m glad you enjoyed blanket fort! Cheers brother!
Steve, you're awesome!!! You have to be one of the most honest, wholesome, real-to-life creators on UA-cam. The fam and I very much enjoy all of your fantastic camping shenanigans. Good to see you smiling, btw. Cheers!! 😊
Really glad I found this channel in my recommended. So refreshing to see pure, no nonsense content
Rooting for you on your journey Steve. Stay warm 🤝
Takes me back to making blanket forts in our living room in my parents house, it looks so cozy!
I’ve just been given a hammock for my birthday. I’m watching this episode whilst relaxing in it. Great show. The blanket fort is so awesome.
I love seeing the new videos. I know the grief is still right beneath the surface, but there is something so reassuring and peaceful about seeing him back at it.
That looked like it was a lot of fun! It goes to show that we are never to old to just keep it simple and enjoy the lighter whimsical side of life! Thanks for taking us along Steve!
Having a really hard day today. This video being posted makes it a little better. Thank you, Steve.
Love you Steve I lost my best friend and hubby exactly a year ago I know how what your going through you cheer me up and motivate me, only just found your channel I'm hooked! keep going and best whishes 👍
This looked like a blast. And the cooking! Those pancakes and eggs look like a good stick-to-your-ribs way to start the day. Now I want to go blanket fort camping.
This video seemed to find you in better spirits, Steve. You're a wizard with the back side of a shovel!
Thanks for always taking us with you...
Loved the famous salt action @10:05 Steve 😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
We wouldn't doubt that Steve re-donated those blankets back to the same place or to a shelter 😊🙏
Blankets make things cozy!
And with a tarp overtop it would be fine in the rain!
This man is living our dreams whenever we made a blanket fort and imagined it out in the wild...Legend
Love the multi-night format! Maybe do some longer trips and go hiking?
The blanket fort thing is great!
Make it a series! Blanket Forting with Steve! Cooking with Steve! Fishing with Steve! BRING IT!
I had a stupid smile on my face, throughout this video and I haven’t even had a step two yet! 😮😊 Thanks Steve. “ It doesn’t get much better than this!” ❤
I love that the legacy of the brown blanket lives on since it saw it in your luxury camping uhaul video. Seems to suit you well
Wow! I love the juxtaposition of the thrift store tent and high gourmet meal! Fantastic! Congratulations on completing your 40-year-old ambition! That blanket fort looked amazingly comfortable! Who knew? You always have the best ideas Steve!
Comment and fun suggestion:
This is one channel where I do something that I never do anywhere else - read the comments. What you do, mixed with the friendly and loving reactions from your fans, gives me a warmth that's hard to come by and is much needed in the times we're in.
And may I suggest an idea for future stealth camps... have you ever thought about revisiting some of your old favourite stealth camp spots? I think that would be a fun thing to do every once in a while. You could pair the video with clips from your first time. And it may give you a little break from feeling like you have to be in new places for most videos.
Just an idea. Cheers
That’s actually a great idea.
Might be too many memories right now, she often used to drop him off at his spots...
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ fed
Great to see you again, Steve. I don't comment a lot on videos. I'm always happy to see you. All the best, brother. Love 👻🌎
Those "serious campers" don't realize you're the OG of camping lol 😆
