    The little aside to the camera about having been crying is exactly what makes me think you're going to be okay, Steve. I know there's a lot we don't see, but just the fact that you're okay with grieving and being in a hard place is testament to your character. We all love you, Steve.

I lost my infant son to SIDS just before Steve lost Jess, I lost my home and nearly everything I owned in my grief, I lost my 7 year old daughter for an entire month, and now I'm trying to rebuild my life from nothing, with very very little help... And sure, everyone wants to call it "resilience" that I'm here, and I'm trying. But the truth is, it was simply pure animal instinct that made me survive for months and months and months. It's only very recently that I've found reasons to want to live again. Surviving through grief is far less than resilience much of the time... it's just a mindless fog of pain, and your body does what it needs to do to continue to b function largely by reflex. It's been a very rough journey back to the light. So I hate that word, "resilient."

    Steve,
    I’m going to give you the long story, but please read to the end. As I was growing up, I would go camping with my uncle on a very regular basis. We would go to a National Forest a few hours away and do very primitive camping. We would try new equipment, but the idea was less is more. Often, we wouldn’t take more than a large tarp, a couple of bungie cords (beer of course!), a saw, and a little bit of food. These are some of my best memories as an adolescent and early adult. Then life happened and we started going less and less.
    I joined the Army and moved away. Starting a new chapter in life, I got to do some really cool things and see some very cool places. I deployed to Afghanistan twice (for a year each time) and got to experience war firsthand. There were constant explosions and firefights, and a lot of good people weren’t the same after the dust cleared. We lived in a tent (with about 30 people), I slept on a cot. Space was extremely tight, but that’s as close to camping as you can get in that region lol. I was injured pretty substantially during my first deployment, and again on the second.
    After returning home, sleep was a big hurdle. It’s kind of strange that while you’re over there you sleep fine (maybe because you’re just so drained from the day), but once you get home is when it gets harder. I used to lay in bed and imagine being back on my cot and in my sleeping bag in order to appreciate the astounding comfort difference and try to go to sleep. Sometimes it helped, sometimes not.
    Recently, I accidentally clicked on and watched one of your stealth camping videos. Not gonna lie at first I was like what the hell is this guy doing. But after watching, I noticed how carefree you seemed. How much you truly enjoyed being outside (and drinking beer). It absolutely brought me back to when I used to love camping. I never did it in the middle of a freeway, or behind a billboard or any of the other crazy places you have- but I would like to.
    The point of this whole ramble is that your videos bring a sense of calm to me. I watch one every night before going to bed, and it really helps to put my mind in a place of calmness and happiness. I sleep a lot better recently. I really appreciate it. I appreciate your humor and your approach to getting into the woods (or wherever). I miss camping very much and plan to get back to it.
    Lastly, I Googled your name to try to get some background on who this guy is. I was shocked to see that you recently suffered a terrible loss in your life. I want to offer my deepest condolences. Coming from someone who also has delt with tragedy, I understand how hard it can be. I want you to know that what you do brings joy and happiness to peoples lives. Keep doing what you’re doing and know that you are no longer sleeping alone in the woods.
    Patrick

    Hey Steve,
    When I first started watching your videos a few years ago, I had pretty recently suffered a loss very similar to yours (my deepest sincere condolences to you), and, having become very solitary myself, I felt commaradary watching this affable guy (you) having these good-natured solitary adventures.
    My heart went out to you when you spoke about your loss.
    Sadly, I suffered another very significant loss this past October, and am currently right there with you in the throws of grief (the holidays were very tough).
    I think you're kinda brave: time alone with nothing to do but think can be extremely hard time. I know nothing really takes the grief away, but in those times when you've got the camera shut down and the grief grabs you, I want you to know that you've helped people (me, at least) and you're not entirely alone; and I hope that helps a little bit.
    Keep on keeping on.

    Take care of yourself Steve, it tears me up to see you struggle. You've solidified my quest to live a simpler life and be happy with less. Thank you for all you've done, and all you'll be doing in the future, you're a great human being.

    Being able to cry is a sign of a man who is human. Been there so I am with you.

    I know how tempting it is to disappear into the woods or the sea to escape a pain you can't heal. Please keep friends close, Steve.

    Steve, you've managed to touch millions of people with your videos. There are people who watch your videos out of enjoyment and for pure entertainment, but there are also people who watch your videos to get a 20 minute break from whatever they're dealing with. You've been a positive part of people's lives for years now just be being your wonderful self. I don't know how much it means, but know that there are countless people around the world who love you. Thank you for doing what you do, friend!

    Stay Strong Steve. C.S. Lewis once said" Friendship is unneccessary. Like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value. But rather it is one of the things of which bring value to survival." Keep up the good work. Love ya dude.

    14:43 Steamed hams. Delicious! The term comes from a regional dialect. An Albany expression. It always helps if you have the aurora borealis in your kitchen.

    Thank you Steve. Watching you had helped me deal with grief of my own. You being honest about what you go through has made me feel better about what I've been going through. To know that it's alright to not have a good day here and there. Sincerely mate, thank you.

    As someone with bad depression and anxiety and trauma with medicine (When I was a teen I was in a mental ward for a little bit where they had me taking 9 different medications and almost legit killed me back in 2004) your videos are one of the few things I enjoy.

    There's a guy in Texas you've never heard of let alone met, rooting for you. Stay strong. You'd be amazed how much love there is for your in this world that may seem harsh and cold at times.

    Steve let me tell you how excited I get when you upload a video. I check my subscriptions daily from my phone or computer. But when I see you've uploaded, I run to my living room, turn on my tv, and cast your vids to the big screen so I can chill on the couch and cuddle with my dog while I watch your content. You are, without a doubt, my favorite UA-cam creator and your videos are a Big Deal. Thanks for just being you!
