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
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.
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.”
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.
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? 🤣🤣
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.
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!
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.
Today on Steve Wallis, Steve earns his Whimsical Tent Craft merit badge, his Thrifting and Upcycling badges as well as his Gourmet Camp Cooking merit badge and Organization badge. Way to go, Steve! A step two salute for you, my friend.
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.
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.
I'm 62 and will do a blanket tent at the drop of a dime. I live alone and will do it in my room at home if I'm stressed enough. And I could care less what people think. I've never had a better night's sleep in my life outside a blanket tent. I always compromise my comfort for what's acceptable...but the older I get, the less I care what's acceptable and the more I care about comfort, both physically and emotionally. I love the tent you made, Steve. I never thought about going to the goodwill store for blankets. I'm heading out this afternoon to check my local place. Just never be ashamed to do what makes you feel good. Stop worrying about what others think and enjoy life. We only have one and it's ours...no one else's.
I was always a blanket fort kid. I’d build one out in the living room of my grandmothers, grab the chairs from around the kitchen table and a big comforter. Would stay in there all day and night and listen to the radio. Away from the chaos and in my own little comfort zone. Might have to follow you on that and stop by goodwill and grab some blankets. Thanks for sharing.
Oh man. I never comment but I've watched steve for years, this is hands down in my top 10 episodes pf camping with steve! The blanket fort was amazing felt so cozy and nostalgic, the crunching of the snow when you walked to the beach, the gourmet meals looked super yummy and your surprise 2nd night stay was a nice surprise. Its nice to see you smiling steve, glad you had a great time!
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!
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.
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 ❤
Being a kid blanket forts were awesome. Now as a parent blanket forts are still awesome. Steve takes it to the next level, living the dream. Cheers Steve, glad to see you back!
"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.
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. ❤
Well I must say that this is probably one of my all-time episodes of camping with Steve. You had happiness and your voice and I could see it on your face. That took me back to being a kid and doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing and taking us on the adventure Steve we love you.
The quick little cut to Steve sitting by the campfire after he said hes having salad, then back to where he left off in the video was the funniest thing to me
Could you imagine being the person who donated those blankets to the thrift store, who also happens to follow Steve and is now all excited to see Steve using their blankets as a tent!! 😂
Really be nifty if when they donated them, a small thought In The back of their mind, was, " I wonder if Steve could find his joyful adolescents someday and build a blanket fort out of these old wrags"
"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!
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.
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!
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.
"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!
Love all your videos and I hope that you know we care and love you Steve! Thank you for being a part of my life and helping me through my cancer battle and getting to escape from my world when I see your videos! Gracias
It does look comfy, for camping 😂 does anyone which weather app, or website Steve uses for the radar? Looks like a decent bit of kit. Hoping it covers the UK 👍
Definitely the most watchable person on UA-cam. I think Steve is fantastic. I don't know if it's the sense of humour, the personality, the situation or the great editing. Everything rolled into one, makes for great viewing. Thanks for making Friday evening's (for myself) something to look forward to 👌
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.
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 ❤️
the mixture of camping out in sub zero weather in a blanket fort and then cooking a gourmet-sounding meal is the kind of joyful dissonance we love you for steve!
You remind me of the old TV show "Then Came Bronson." Remember in the famous opening, where the harried 9-to-5 guy says to Bronson who is on his motorcycle, "man, I wish I was you."
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.
That's me and my daughters this weekend. Thanks Steve we appreciate your time and effort you put in to our entertainment. Watching from the bottom of the world the south island of New Zealand. Kia Ora
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, from all of us with kids still alive inside of us, thank you for giving us all permission to break out our blanket forts😄 Mine will be set up tomorrow night when my grandson visits. We're setting up in the livingroom, no TV allowed lol Can hardly wait!❤
I couldn't agree more--he's too humble to ever admit it, but his Way of Being is really a valuable life lesson in how to conduct yourself, and if not always maintain your happiness, at least maintain your dignity. That is not an easy needle to thread. That, to me, is the most amazing thing about Steve. I would have debased myself a number of times going through everything he has in the last year. And rather than change for the worst, he has evolved into a version of himself no-one knew was coming, and yet is somehow, someway, better than the Steve we watched a year ago. (Sorry if you read this Steve, but I call it like I see it, and I don't think I am wrong in my assessment. I can cite examples, could write a thesis on the subject if pressed. OK, at least an essay.) If I could be like him when I grow up, I'll die a better person. (I turn 47 in August.)
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.
Never been an outdoors kind of person but I've been watching his videos for hours. Just such a wholesome guy doing what he loves what more can you wish for
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.
I miss Camping With Steve, and Cooking With Steve. That fish dish looks so delicious, and to create this dish without using a modern kitchen is quite amazing. The viodeography is good enough I almost can smell the campfire. Hope you are doing good Steve.
The Guinness world record for stuff crammed into the trunk of a car....Another skill-set to the ever resourcefulness of Steve Wallis. This is why we love you 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
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. 😀👍
This video in particular made me realize how much good a couple of nights in the fresh air can do a person. By the end of the video your mood had clearly lifted considerably; and your blanket fort looked cozy as all get-out. Add in the gourmet dinner, and what else could a person want? I really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along!
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.
"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
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 :)
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.
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 I'm so glad you're are back to making camping videos. I'm from Texas and camping here is kinda difficult when its 98 degrees at 10pm. Your videos gives me my "camping fix". I'm 61 years old and have bad knees. But I really enjoy sitting with my feet propped up along with a glass of ice tea watching your adventures. Keep it up my northern friend. BTW I hope you get to read this. I know you have help with all the comments because of the overwhelming number of them. Your strength in keeping your eye on what makes you happy and sharing it with us is inspiring to me.
Never should you be uncomfortable for asking anything from anybody, as much as you give to all of us for free Steve! You make over a million people happy with your videos. I don’t think you understand how amazing that is! ..it’s quite remarkable. We care about you and luv ya!❤
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"
Blankets are actually amazing to keep heat in so makes perfect sense that a Fort works amazingly. I've made one when the power went out during the winter in a snow storm lol mind you I was inside but still! It was 10 degrees outside at the time but the fort kept me warm in bed 😂
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!!!
I don't think there is a single soul that has anything bad to say about this guy, hes so fucking wholesome and awkward we can all relate to him. I know hes been going through some tough times I just hope he knows it will get better, time will heal and we will be here to support him along the way.
I was telling my brother in law about this UA-camr I follow who stealth camps. He says “ Do you mean Steve Wallace?” It turns out both he and my nephew are big fans of Steve as am I.
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
Steve, this is the BEST video I've seen on UA-cam in a long while. You cracked me up the whole way through! Halibut and white wine sauce and salad - and a blanket fort - in freezing, snowy weather. You seriously made my day - possibly my entire week! In fact, I think you might be the only reason I am still on YT at this point. Thank you
It's interesting how Steve's channel is such a blessing in so many ways, to so many people... he's just an ordinary guy doing the things we all want to do, without any TikTok attitudes or fake persona -- the perfect neighbor or uncle.
I especially loved that you stayed second night. Nothing says 'I'm having a good time' like staying another night when you don't have to. It's a treat I can't recall ever seeing before on your adventures.
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.
Your stealth camping videos are what first intrigued me, but now that I’ve been watching you for a while it’s nice to see you able to just relax and enjoy the camping experience instead of having to sneak around.
I think that's a nod to one of my favourite ever moments: ua-cam.com/video/nepmYrG1mlM/v-deo.html. Also, did you notice Buster from arrested development at 11:53
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.
I'm torn between grateful that someone checked on you (as usual Steve with his quick responses they were out of tents ⛺🤣) and can people just mind their own business (as Steve wasn't causing a ruckus or anything). Food looked delicious. Thanks for what you do for us. 💕
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.
Love these types of camping trips, Imagine all the people in Class A and 5 th Wheels noticing Steve's setup. Love how he shows he can be happy camping with very little, Love this Channel 😀❤️.
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.
Steve I wanna start off by saying thank you. I'm sure you already know this but you manage to touch everyone's hearts in each video. Especially mine. You somehow are able to bring your happiness and joy through a screen and make others feel the same way. Thank you.
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.
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
Steve i just wanna say Thank you for taking us along with you like you do. I think many of us live vicariously through you while watching. Every day life keeps many of our hands tied and I for one, of your many many fans, appreciate you bringing us on your journey. God bless you Steve. Hunker down brother👍
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.
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

That smile we all love! Lost my wife July 2021. I know how hard those smiles are to come by.
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.
A blanket fort and Jiffy pop. Thank you Steve. Took me back about 40 years.
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.
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.
@@patrickgibson6648 facts
💯💯💯
I'm happy that he kept the outdoor themed blanket. I hope we see it used in another video!
Love it ❤
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!
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
Today on Steve Wallis, Steve earns his Whimsical Tent Craft merit badge, his Thrifting and Upcycling badges as well as his Gourmet Camp Cooking merit badge and Organization badge. Way to go, Steve! A step two salute for you, my friend.
Noice😂
Could not have said it better!
I was thinking that his blanket tent covered by a waterproof tarp would be a great shelter. A cheap version of an expensive insulated tent.
And a campfire badge.
I'd totally buy a Steve Wallis Whimsical Tent Craft merift badge sticker he should add that to his merchandise!
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!

They are also great when the heat system is gone, basically turns into a small room with less space to heat.
Oh man. I never comment but I've watched steve for years, this is hands down in my top 10 episodes pf camping with steve! The blanket fort was amazing felt so cozy and nostalgic, the crunching of the snow when you walked to the beach, the gourmet meals looked super yummy and your surprise 2nd night stay was a nice surprise. Its nice to see you smiling steve, glad you had a great time!
I agree with you!
Haha thanks for watching
I agree...I think his other half would be proud of him and what he's been doing with his adventures.
I know I’m not the first to say it, but Uncle Steve truly is the Bob Ross of camping.
Omg this is why I like his content so much
Funny you mentioned Bob Ross. Just watched a documentary on him and his life.
Let’s just add a happy little blanket fort in the forest by the the ocean.
Keep going Steve, the journey is worth it.
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!

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!!

Being a kid blanket forts were awesome. Now as a parent blanket forts are still awesome. Steve takes it to the next level, living the dream. Cheers Steve, glad to see you back!
I know. I used to love blanket forts. It is great to see Steve back too .
@ILoveMakingAnimalGoreVideos what is your name. You had
I love a blanket fort!! But I have never cooked a salad before!! Lol!! So good to have Steve back! I love this guy!!
VACATION OCEAN...where is your brain?
"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.
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!
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
Well I must say that this is probably one of my all-time episodes of camping with Steve. You had happiness and your voice and I could see it on your face. That took me back to being a kid and doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing and taking us on the adventure Steve we love you.
Ditto! I wanna do the same…not in the snow cuz I’m a city slicker!
He definitely didn’t sound happy with his halibut salad tho haha
"There's a fine line between creepy and whimsical.." 🤣 Steve strikes again! Got everyone rolling! 🙌
That made me lol
The quick little cut to Steve sitting by the campfire after he said hes having salad, then back to where he left off in the video was the funniest thing to me
It's a throwback many of us love lol
Could you imagine being the person who donated those blankets to the thrift store, who also happens to follow Steve and is now all excited to see Steve using their blankets as a tent!! 😂

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.
The editing in this episode really puts it over the top for me. This might be my new favorite camping video in the Steve collection.
I noticed a different flair here and there as well...our Steve, he is growing up so fast.🙂
I love it just keeps getting better!!
The cuts during the snow shovelling and the way the outro focus was filmed looked very “modern”
@@MrFitness94 They do. Dare I say almost ASMR even lol
"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!
Love all your videos and I hope that you know we care and love you Steve! Thank you for being a part of my life and helping me through my cancer battle and getting to escape from my world when I see your videos! Gracias
Welp, I think a bunch of us adults are now going to make us some blanket forts! This is why we love you, Steve!
As long as the granddaughter doesn't see this video
It does look comfy, for camping 😂 does anyone which weather app, or website Steve uses for the radar? Looks like a decent bit of kit. Hoping it covers the UK 👍
@@todaysworldjw Pretty well all of the weather radars in Canada are owned by Environment Canada. Only parts of Canada are covered.
I always make blanket forts when I babysit my nephews and it's always 100% because they want to:)
I'm actually about to do one with my kids. 🤣
Definitely the most watchable person on UA-cam. I think Steve is fantastic. I don't know if it's the sense of humour, the personality, the situation or the great editing.
Everything rolled into one, makes for great viewing.
Thanks for making Friday evening's (for myself) something to look forward to 👌
I think it is the totality of Steve's personality. Steve feels like that one person you can not only trust, and rely on, but also relate with.
Yep . . 100% Buddy
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.
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 ❤️
the mixture of camping out in sub zero weather in a blanket fort and then cooking a gourmet-sounding meal is the kind of joyful dissonance we love you for steve!
When my anxiety gets really bad I like to watch Steve just so I can live vicariously through him and feel what it's like to escape for a little bit
I do the same ^_^
You can also escape.
You remind me of the old TV show "Then Came Bronson." Remember in the famous opening, where the harried 9-to-5 guy says to Bronson who is on his motorcycle, "man, I wish I was you."
Check out post 10. When I am not feeling well it is my go to channel right along with Steve
Well said
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.
That's me and my daughters this weekend. Thanks Steve we appreciate your time and effort you put in to our entertainment.
Watching from the bottom of the world the south island of New Zealand. Kia Ora
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, from all of us with kids still alive inside of us, thank you for giving us all permission to break out our blanket forts😄 Mine will be set up tomorrow night when my grandson visits. We're setting up in the livingroom, no TV allowed lol Can hardly wait!❤
Love this video ❤
@@RandiG63me too. I hope you have a beautiful day sweetheart
My son watched what you were doing. Instantly started making a fort in the living room. “Dadda, I’m camping”.
I freaking love everything about this channel. Steve, the world is a better place with you in it.
I couldn't agree more--he's too humble to ever admit it, but his Way of Being is really a valuable life lesson in how to conduct yourself, and if not always maintain your happiness, at least maintain your dignity. That is not an easy needle to thread. That, to me, is the most amazing thing about Steve. I would have debased myself a number of times going through everything he has in the last year. And rather than change for the worst, he has evolved into a version of himself no-one knew was coming, and yet is somehow, someway, better than the Steve we watched a year ago.
(Sorry if you read this Steve, but I call it like I see it, and I don't think I am wrong in my assessment. I can cite examples, could write a thesis on the subject if pressed. OK, at least an essay.)
If I could be like him when I grow up, I'll die a better person.
(I turn 47 in August.)
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"
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.
Never been an outdoors kind of person but I've been watching his videos for hours. Just such a wholesome guy doing what he loves what more can you wish for
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❤️
You've just proven every child's dream camping situation is viable and likely quite comfortable. God bless you, Steve.
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!
I miss Camping With Steve, and Cooking With Steve. That fish dish looks so delicious, and to create this dish without using a modern kitchen is quite amazing. The viodeography is good enough I almost can smell the campfire. Hope you are doing good Steve.
"Ran out of tents". My favorite line. 😊 Love the blanket fort.
The Guinness world record for stuff crammed into the trunk of a car....Another skill-set to the ever resourcefulness of Steve Wallis. This is why we love you 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 💙🏴💙🏴
Nothing like watching a camping video while your camping. This was much needed entertainment. Love this channel.
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. 😀👍
This video in particular made me realize how much good a couple of nights in the fresh air can do a person. By the end of the video your mood had clearly lifted considerably; and your blanket fort looked cozy as all get-out. Add in the gourmet dinner, and what else could a person want? I really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along!
IMO, the Outdoors is a far superior treatment for depression than any drug on the market!
Sending some love to one of the best Canadians on UA-cam. Love your channel, Steve.
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?
A blanket fort, what a great idea
@ILoveMakingAnimalGoreVideos Whatever
@ILoveMakingAnimalGoreVideos you sick puppy 😩
"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
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
Steve, you are an absolute gem in this crazy world. Never change, my friend! Thank you!
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
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 I'm so glad you're are back to making camping videos. I'm from Texas and camping here is kinda difficult when its 98 degrees at 10pm. Your videos gives me my "camping fix". I'm 61 years old and have bad knees. But I really enjoy sitting with my feet propped up along with a glass of ice tea watching your adventures. Keep it up my northern friend. BTW I hope you get to read this. I know you have help with all the comments because of the overwhelming number of them. Your strength in keeping your eye on what makes you happy and sharing it with us is inspiring to me.
Never should you be uncomfortable for asking anything from anybody, as much as you give to all of us for free Steve! You make over a million people happy with your videos. I don’t think you understand how amazing that is! ..it’s quite remarkable. We care about you and luv ya!❤
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"
This may be the only time you may see this Steve, but thank you for the content, we all greatly appreciate it and you. Much love.
Well said.
Blankets are actually amazing to keep heat in so makes perfect sense that a Fort works amazingly. I've made one when the power went out during the winter in a snow storm lol mind you I was inside but still! It was 10 degrees outside at the time but the fort kept me warm in bed 😂
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!!!
I don't think there is a single soul that has anything bad to say about this guy, hes so fucking wholesome and awkward we can all relate to him. I know hes been going through some tough times I just hope he knows it will get better, time will heal and we will be here to support him along the way.
I was telling my brother in law about this UA-camr I follow who stealth camps. He says “ Do you mean Steve Wallace?” It turns out both he and my nephew are big fans of Steve as am I.
@@bdberg That's awesome to hear.
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
I love this! Super fun idea!! Outdoor, adult, blanket fort! Stuff we all dream of when we are kids. Thank you for making it come true!
Steve, this is the BEST video I've seen on UA-cam in a long while. You cracked me up the whole way through! Halibut and white wine sauce and salad - and a blanket fort - in freezing, snowy weather. You seriously made my day - possibly my entire week! In fact, I think you might be the only reason I am still on YT at this point. Thank you
It's interesting how Steve's channel is such a blessing in so many ways, to so many people... he's just an ordinary guy doing the things we all want to do, without any TikTok attitudes or fake persona -- the perfect neighbor or uncle.
I especially loved that you stayed second night. Nothing says 'I'm having a good time' like staying another night when you don't have to. It's a treat I can't recall ever seeing before on your adventures.
“They were all out of tents” 😂. Steve has an excuse for every awkward situation.
I cracked up at that one lol 😆 😂 🤣
Take as long as you need Steve. I'll be here when you get back. Hope the best for your mother. ✌️
Doesn't get any better than this 🙂❤️
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❤
Your stealth camping videos are what first intrigued me, but now that I’ve been watching you for a while it’s nice to see you able to just relax and enjoy the camping experience instead of having to sneak around.
That cut right after "...because I'm having salad tonight" @7:52 killed me hahaha thank you Steve for another adventure, hope you are well
I think that's a nod to one of my favourite ever moments: ua-cam.com/video/nepmYrG1mlM/v-deo.html.
Also, did you notice Buster from arrested development at 11:53
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!
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.
Stunt camping channel ! Steve, you are a genius! Much love, blanket boy!
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.
I'm torn between grateful that someone checked on you (as usual Steve with his quick responses they were out of tents ⛺🤣) and can people just mind their own business (as Steve wasn't causing a ruckus or anything).
Food looked delicious. Thanks for what you do for us. 💕
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....
Love it! “Fine line between creepy and whimsical!” ❤😂🎉
That's "our" Steve!
It's the line I've been walking my entire life :D
You're absolutely right about the syrup on the eggs 😉🍳 yum
Love these types of camping trips, Imagine all the people in Class A and 5 th Wheels noticing Steve's setup. Love how he shows he can be happy camping with very little, Love this Channel 😀❤️.
How many parents had to convince the kids they couldn't take all the bedding out of the campers to camp like that guy in the next site over?
The cooking with Steve segment had me in stitches. My wife rolled her eyes. That means it was awesome! 🙂
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.
Incredible episode Steve! That meal looked insanely delicious! Thanks for taking us along camping with you!
Steve I wanna start off by saying thank you. I'm sure you already know this but you manage to touch everyone's hearts in each video. Especially mine. You somehow are able to bring your happiness and joy through a screen and make others feel the same way. Thank you.
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!
This is definitely an 'inner-circle hall of fame' episode. Well done Steve.
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
Cooking healthy with Steve in his Blankey fort! I like it! Great video. You can tell you were happy and relaxed. That’s what it’s all about.
Steve i just wanna say Thank you for taking us along with you like you do. I think many of us live vicariously through you while watching. Every day life keeps many of our hands tied and I for one, of your many many fans, appreciate you bringing us on your journey. God bless you Steve. Hunker down brother👍
