Tarp Wall Tent Camping
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- With the expert help of Crazy Neighbor I taped together some tarps and ratchet straps and made some form of Frankenstein wall tent, and went camping! The project actually turned out far better than I had originally thought. We had one of my standby camping meals of onion burgers. Some rain fell through the evening and overnight, but not too much to dampen our spirits.

Funny story: i just was in a small beer market in Russia (I'm American), and when I grabbed a few beers I absentmindedly said aloud "a couple of step twos" (I had just watched one of your videos while on an airport express train from Vladivostok to Artem), and a Russian guy a few feet away said "Hunker Down" in quite a strong accent. Apparently he watches UA-cam to practice English, and he also is a fan of your channel. The "step two" helped me make a new friend in this far-flung middle of nowhere!
That's excellent! I'm American as well and I want to go to Russia.
Bringing peoples together with the power of stealth camping and beer! Great story.
@@Andrew-uw5gz you're more than free not to believe the story. Doesn't change the fact that it happened 😁 Maybe you should get out, travel the world some. You'd be surprised at how many obscure references random people understand. Having lived abroad since 2013, I've made many friends from references to UA-cam personalities, movies, songs, etc.
@@writerbill1 You should definitely visit! It's a beautiful country. I particularly recommended the Far East. I find it much better than Moscow or St. Petersburg. Primorsky Krai and Kamchatka are simply stunning!
No....no you didn't., but I know I GUY who did.
Gotta love two grown men building a fort in the woods. Makes me smile wide. Thanks for the constant flow of content Steve and crazy neighbor. Legends!
Fort? In the woods? 🤣
I was lucky to find steve and crazy neighbor i sat one whole afternoon binge watching these great friends entertain us all thanks guys
I think part of the enjoyment of watching a camping with steve video is the fact he doesn't pretend to be an outdoorsman or survivalist. He uses propane heaters in every type of shelter and makes his fires by pouring as much accelerant as available to make sure a whole log catches fire. No flint, no fancy knots, and beer - the way most of us actually camp.
Steve: "My shoes keep coming untied lately."
Crazy neighbor: " Really, ? Hmm." Lol
Some intense camp fire conversation 🤣🤣
Anything that connects two people around a campfire is a good conversation. Easy, calm, and not too spicy topics are the best!
Double knotred French knot!
I was absolutely riveted. When he said "How's your aglets" all dead pan...hilarious.
Nothin' like a good burger, a good beer and a good friend to sort out the complexities of life, eh?
The whole discussion on the shoes coming untied is peak "Camping with Steve". Makes me feel like I am just hanging out with my buddies.
I couldn't tell if it was serious or not.
I was so drawn in waiting for the punch line,lol.
That was a stoney conversation if I’ve ever seen one. Notice the quick cut at 15:59. Wonder what they did there? 🤔
@@UltraGeezer first reaction i had LOL
Hit me in the feels
Ever since I started watching Steve I've gotten more into the camping and cabin videos. I have to say I appreciate Steve's down to earth kinda approach and the fact he really talks to you. He kinda seems more like a friend and less like a host...ish/UA-camr guy.
The funny part is that my idea of camping is a Fairfield Inn...I have no desire to camp outdoors at all, but I really enjoy Steve's videos. I have a feeling what you see on here is very much the way he is in person. It's not about him as much as it is the shared experience.
The conversation from 16:13 to 17:40 is an absolute gem
That's why I love this channel, just dudes being themselves. Not putting on a fake personality for UA-cam
"But mines always the right one...".
Priceless conversation.
The most Canadian conversation ever! 😂
I'm so glad this commit exist.
Whenever a video starts out with Crazy Neighbor bounding out and giving his signature salute, you know it's going to be a winner!
I read this right while he was doing it, lol. Nice bit of augmented reality.
I look forward to seeing Crazy Neighbor
I could do without crazy neighbour
0:28 I went ahead with step 2 I was saving for later!
@@Steven-xc9qv C.N. makes this more entertaining to watch, don't like C.N.... go watch someone else.
The shoelace conversation was like something out of a Tarantino movie.
I died laughing
That shoelace conversation could have easily been a Samuel Beckett play. This video is one of your best, Steve & Crazy Neighbour. I laughed along with you at several points. Thank you!
Do you remember the UFO conversation? It pulls a close second to this one!! lol!!
I could not agree more. Beer, burgers, and a fire. What great convos come out in that scenario
Camping with Gadot.
@@ernststravoblofeld nice!
Them making campfire conversation over the shoelace thing has got to be the most Canadian conversation I’ve heard in a long time haha
I am in my 60’s and have been camping since I was about 13-14. All those years ago I camped with three great friends. And……I still camp out with those wonderful friends. We all went to college, had good careers and managed to stay within about 100 miles of each other. Now, we are all finally retired and are fortunate to have land on which to get together and camp. Your videos are inspiring, informative and soooo relaxing. Thanks.
Fuck man I wish that were me. I had a great camping run when I was 17-20 with my best friends. I'm 22 now and I haven't camped since then and those friends have grown so distant I don't really feel like I know them anymore.
Steve, I love you man, but you don't need to defend yourself every video on why you are camping and why you are not doing something specific. We all love the choices you make!
That shoelace conversation is right up with the Pulp Fiction "Royal with cheese" and Seinfeld's "Golf ball in the whale" bit. Smart entertainment along with the fascinating camping approaches! Better than anything on network TV!
LOL I know I was sitting here going okay why am I listening to a conversation about shoelaces and then I go hmm why am I amused about a conversation about shoelaces .. or maybe it was being amused about a conversation about shoelaces amused me more ... either way crazy neighbor Glen and Steve are a very subtle comic duo . Cheers
As long as there was no foot massage talk 😂
It’s possible marijuana inspired that conversation, crazy neighbor looked stoned lol during that conversation.
Tiny bit of wax or shoe polish on the laces will solve the untying problem. Critical step to any hiking boots before every season!
That was almost like it was scripted, I was laughing so hard and like said above it was very similar to the le big mac scene from pulp fiction.
everyone needs a neighbor like Crazy Neighbor
I don't remember how I stumbled across your channel but man am I glad I did, the only complaint I have is I've already watched everything and wish there was more! Keep it up my friend and my best wishes to you, your beautiful wife and of course crazy neighbor!
“My shoelaces been coming untied lately”. LOL. Idk why but that made me laugh outloud. Riveting campfire conversations. 😆
Made me laugh as well! 🤣
Outstanding
Mine too. For last 5 years. Chinese plot?
Why do you hate Men so much?
Dawn Kennedy,...At least you can still reach yours. I have to hold my breath & pray I can get one tied before I run out of breath.
Steve and Crazy Neighbour fireside chats are the tonic we need.
Fuck yeah, man. Therapeutic....
In this crazy world today I tell you I feel most at ease listening to Steve and crazy neighbor's fire chats. Good stuff
They'd make great videos and or podcasts...
better than Congress in the US for sure.
This content is honestly so relaxing and feelgood - and it's not the format either because there's loads on YT. It's the personalities. These videos with Crazy Neighbour are absolutely my favourite, the vibe is just like kicking your shoes off at the end of the day and sitting back in your chair with a nice drink. Ahhhhh.
I love how well you two work together! You seamlessly pass items back and forth and one starts while the other finishes. All without words. I love that.
Yeah its obvious why crazy zz is the partner alright to do this kind of stuff
Your wall tent brought back memories for me of when my sister and I were just kids, and we would throw blankets over the wash lines in the backyard. They were such good times...
That fireside chat about shoelaces was surreal comedy gold - like something out of Seinfeld! Gotta be one of the best videos yet - next Thursday can't come around quick enough to watch the next one. Happy 40th Steve and thx for all the entertainment
It might be the weather
The shoelace conversation was gold. Definitely channeling Seinfeld there!
"how are your aglets?"
A shoe salesman taught my parents something called a Zimmernam Knot. It doesn't come untied until you pull the end of the lace. Works really great for kids shoes...which never seem to stay tied.
goes back to Paulie from The Saprano's talking about shoe laces by the urinal.....
18:20 Steve hit us with the old "lets pretend to sleep for the camera and then stop filming and enjoy 19 more step 2's" trick I see
After years of buying tents I decided to follow in your footsteps and make my own, my 12x10 tarp palace is the envy of elk camp !
Hopefully the laces on those footsteps were securely tied.
I got to tell you I love this car I used to have a beautiful Corvette I sold when I was younger I wish I still had it but I don't anyways you have fun I had a stupid neither stroke and it's left me pretty screwed up so you take care of yourself and I enjoy watching your videos it makes me think I can go out there and have some fun someday
My neighbors call me "Crazy Neighbor".
I wear that badge with pride... Thank you, Glen.
This channel is my medicine for anxiety attacks and depression. Thank you Mr. Steve! And always a bonus when Crazy Neighbour is there. 😊 Love from the Philippines.
What is it about that? His voice? The peacefulness and no hustle and bustle? I feel the same sense of calm watching him.
When I’m old I wanna be just like crazy neighbor. Such a free spirited man with drive to be engaged.
A very positive man but Steve was a bit of a complainer this time round.
Crazy Neighbor is such a dude, everytime he appears in the videos i genuinely say "Yeahhhhh Crazy Neighbor!" out loud :)
Crazy Neighbor was genuinely proud, as he should be, of the work he and Steve did putting that tent together. I was proud to watch the video and support your Channel, Steve. Thanks for the continued great content. Cheers.
Watching some of Steve's older videos because why not, the conversation between Steve and Crazy Neighbor about shoelaces was so wholesome and warming to watch. Happy memories. Rip CN
It's calming.
After discovering Steve recently and binge watching his videos my 8 year old son and I are off on our first camping adventure this weekend and we can’t wait. Thanks for the inspiration Steve and getting us into camping, we love this channel 😊
That's so cool!! Don't forget the Smores 😃💝
Love it
That's a great story!
It’s the best time with your kids ever! Plus you don’t have to worry about spills and accidents when you are outside.
Don't forget the step 2s for you and the boy!!
"We're very close to sleeping in the same bed" had me cracking up! Great video Steve
You've done great work for the 5.7 community R/T Life (former 392 owner)
Hilarious!
@Robert Taylor Steve should have those for Sale to viewers,
Lmao read this comment as he was giving the tour of the tent
Could call the episode "Brokeback Stealthing" 🤣🤣
I would love a whole video of Steve and Crazy neighbor talking by the campfire.
We have just left the bday celebrations in Onoway. Thanks to beautiful wife and beautiful sister, Crazy Neighour and everyone else involved in helping to celebrate Steve and his birthday and the wonderful community he has created! Happy Birthday Steve and here is to many more years of inspiring content!
a good time was had by all I take it- no police raid etc??
@@mrbillmacneill we left early, things were just starting to get crazy so I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets out of hand as the night goes on! 😂😂😂
@@campinginthebeautute-9206 wish I could have made the scene but I live on the coast...I will get a report later from the Birthday Boy! it must be a house rocker as he hasnt answered a text since this am....!
My dad always tells me "tarpology" is a discipline I need to master in order to camp properly. From the looks of it, you're a expert in that field. Great video!
Learned this the hard way, use bungee cords, rope will snap and your site will get soaked and your tent will collapse on you in a rainstorm at 3am - dont ask.
@@FrankBullitt390 sounds detailed haha I wonder why
@@4.5.0.Garage 40' x 20' tarp over 2 tents when they were calling for severe rain, tarp blew away 1st night - ropes snapped due to wind. Happy camping trip turned into a cold mud fest, even the neighbors
‘Gorilla tape, those poor Gorillas’ 🤣 enjoyed this one a lot, much more relaxed than the last stealth one I watched 🇬🇧
crazy takes one sip and spits it out what are you feeding me steve?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Uncomfortable silence
“So…my shoe’s been comin’ untied recently.”
“Really? …which foot?”
Hahahahahahahhaa 😂
This whole channel is a lesson in just winging it with style.
This whole conversation was straight out of a Coen brothers movie I swear. These guys are great.
I died when they had a full on conversation about that 😂😂
@@Yaboishwa "How're your aglets?"
that interaction read like Oblivion dialogue
Everybody should have a neighbor like crazy neighbor. I would rock beers with him a lot too. Great content, Steve.
I really like crazy neighbor. He seems like a real genuine person. I’d like to see more videos of him. Also side note, he has great taste in vehicles.
Two genuine down to earth honest and humble grown men just building dens out in the woods enjoying themselves and not caring what people think of it . Its good just to have fun and not be a responsible adult for a while .May both you live long and happy lives , keep doing what your doing 👍
I bet wives everywhere hate this man.
Cabbage is for poor people
@@samholdsworth420 how dare you insult your king , peasant !
@@cabbagetv2883 😵
@@samholdsworth420 Yep, eating a bowl of steamed cabbage right now .... and I AM poor!
Steve has a knack for making me hungry even after I've had supper.
I agree. It always looks tasty 😂😂❤🤷♀️🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
theres just something extra wholesome about any video with Steven and Crazy...Like, the video is 1 part "instructional", 1 part relaxing vibing mood with camping, and 1 part "2 dude just making videos of what they love to do"
The eating the burgers by the campfire is my favorite part. So humble and friendly. Made me feel like I was there hanging out. I love when crazy neighbor tags along. Best videos ever!! Hunker down!!
"Upwards of a thousand dollars...IN MONEY..." top tier Steve. Happy birthday, looking forward to the river trip!
My favorite line in this episode.
Mine too!
I know they’ve been friends for a while, but Steve and crazy neighbor work together so well. They move with and around each other smoothly
Steve helps to stir up all those exciting feelings you had as a kid building your own forts. Love ya Steve
I think its amazing how you can see Steve's eyes soften from the genuine enjoyment of the burger
Steve's gonna hit 1,000,000 subscribers!
Absolutely!
Helmut Berger agrees..
And a few step two's.
Like Homer with a donut.
Has to be said, crazy neighbour is a man of many talents. From cooking to building a Fort. You guys make a great team.
To tying shoes.
😢
@@peterjensen6844 I know. It's sad like. He'll be greatly missed.
I love crazy neighbor in the camping videos! Every time when the food is ready to be served crazy neighbor looks so eager to eat lol so cute 🥰
The campfire talk was an awesome addition to this one Steve!
The conversation about shoe tieing is the type of candid moment I come here for, almost above everything else. Wishing Steve and Crazy Neighbor well wishes and success with keeping your shoes tied this coming season change!
Yeah that was an epic conversation lol
I'd like to think of it more as a bedtime story. Put me to sleep 😴
we need to do a kickstarter for some VELCRO'd SHOES for STEVE
@@braulioNYC definitely 👍 i concur lol
Steve, the door could have been a zipper used in construction to seal off rooms that have been closed off with plastic. The zipper tapes into place then you cut the door open and you have an instant zippered door! The zippers can be found at local builders supply stores. Hope this suggestion helps you and others with a DIY shelter door. Keep up the great videos!
Zipwall zipper
@@victorleskiv So,,,,, with the door open,,,,, one could say,,,, Your "fly" is open"?
I tried Steve's recipe today for these hamburgers. Damn good, will be making them again for sure. Thanks for the killer idea!
So nice to finally know his neighbors name. I wish he would call him by it. He doesn't seem crazy at all, seems very nice and a good friend. Interesting tent, and meal this time.
They call him Crazy Neighbor because that is the name of his youtube channel, I suspect. Great guy and great friend. He has been with Steve through the depths of loss and they both came out stronger on the other side.
Why is it so comforting watching Steve?, I've never had any interest in camping, yet now I want to pack up and go live in the wilderness!
Because you're seeing simple how slow life is when you're outside. Just you and nature. Slooooooow.
Because he makes Bob Ross look anxious.
Most UA-cam campers get dramatic and act like they are on the verge of death. Steve is chill, just like real camping.
@@PlayaSinNombre haha
I'm glad the algorithm randomly showed me your videos. Such a likeable guy and getting to watch your channel explode and your life develop has been great
Just love the buddy vibe of crazy neighbour. By no means a requirement; love a good solo Steve video, but the occasional styling of crazy neighbour giving someone for you to play against is most welcome. Keep up the great work my Canadian brother!
We all need a " crazy neighbor " friend. God bless you both and family. Love from NC, USA. Thx
Gorilla tape those poor Gorillas🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Two great men discussing shoelaces, and how to tie them; this is what YT was created for!!!
I love how hammered Steve and Crazy Neighbor get on these episodes 😂😂
I wouldn't get hammered during stealth camping either so this is his chance to let loose 🤣
Steve crazy neighbour I love you guys I'm still homeless you and your crew get me through every day keep camping my friend ❤
Your friendship makes me smile. It's great that you two share these adventures.
" A thousand dollars, of money " -Steve Wallis
he's like 1000 bucks na I can do it for 60 bucks in tarps and tape kind of wishing he used some duck tape but oh well
Absolutely nothing wrong with your setup friend! And I agree with mystic, you don't have to stealth camp to be entertaining.
Steve just made loose shoe strings interesting...
I wouldn't expect that tent to last a storm, but that shoelace smalltalk was a masterpiece. It should be taught at school.
The edits are getting quicker, slicker, and sicker Steve good work.
The unpacking edits are glorious.
Scintillating after dinner conversation, “My shoe laces are coming undone lately.” Hahaha you guys crack me up! 🤣🤪🙀👍
Hahahaha that's what I was thinking! Hahaha
My favorite part. Im like...is this what thier convos look like when cameras off? I love it.
What foot? Left or right? Lmao! Love it!
I’m convinced if prehistoric man had ratchet straps we’d really have flying cars by now.
If you're a lucky person, you have a "crazy neighbor" for a friend. He's the kind of guy that would come and help you out of a jamb on a cold winter sunday afternoon.
The only type of people, I let into my life.
"You sheltered with a shower curtain..." had me rolling. You are so good at this Steve. Thanks for sharing you escapades.
You know that Steve actually did that? 😉
"Those poor Gorrilas!" Had me rolling. Cheers Steve
#SaveTheGorillaTapeGorillas
Crazy Neighbor makes me laugh everytime I see him. Pure, wholesome fun. Thanks for doing what you guys do, Steve. Much needed.
Good campfire subject convo on shoeslaces coming untied. There's been university studies on this. "In a new study, they found that the repeated impact of a shoe hitting the ground when we walk or run loosens the knot. Then, as we swing our legs, the whipping motion of the laces' free ends pulls them apart." There's at least 335,000 googles on how to stop that. Thanks guys. Been happening on my right foot for years. Now I know what to do.
Crazy Neighbor has come a long way with comfortable being on camera, good on him.
Who knew that watching a fireside chat about the struggles of untied shoelaces would restore my faith in humanity. 😆
Born skint in Texas, I cannot possibly afford a bell tent, a wall tent, any tent really, so THANKS STEVE! This I could do! WOW! You are amazing! Great to see you and CN tonight!
Being born in texass is nothing to brag about.
I totally love your videos. I live in Northern California and it is beautiful here but I deal with major anxiety. I try very hard to get it under control. When I watch your videos really help. It gives me a getaway that I can’t have. God bless you & your beautiful wife for doing these videos.
It's good to hear that you can find some comfort in these videos. We find it rather addicting - it's hard to explain. The combinations of Steve's terrific personality; his great, strong, masculine, voice has a calming effect. If you love outdoors I guess that's another reason why the vids are so helpful. [On a personal note, I'm sorry that your anxiety gives you so much trouble. I've always been somewhat 'high strung' (as a child mainly); still bite my nails 🤫 Anyhow, hope & pray The Best for you.]
Always glad when I see crazy neighbor's appearances. Only Steve and Crazy Neighbor could hold my attention having a discussion about shoelaces.
Yes, I love it!
Hearing that discussion of "How many ways are there to tie a shoelace?" made me immediately think of an old website: "Ian's Shoelace Site" which describes all sorts of interesting knots. It had me realize I had often been tying a "granny knot" instead of a proper square knot when doing the standard two-loop tie and now my laces don't come untied.
This was one of the funniest episodes steve has ever done. He pulls out a double burg like 14 times! 😆
A two-fer. Great to see CN and Steve casually discussing shoes untying. I love you guys.
Always glad to see you and crazy neighbor getting along and having fun camping.

Steve: "a proper canvas wall tent can cost upwards of 1000 dollars..."
Me: 😳
Steve: "...OF MONEY"
Me: 😱
Noooooooooooooooooo!
He's not wrong! A 12x10 canvas is about $500. Then you need stakes, support posts and ropes. It gets pricey in a hurry.
it sounded like he said cannabis wall tent - yeah that would be expensive 😂🤣🐸🐺🦒
@@user-bf8bt2wf7d Canvas can be made from hemp, historically it was mainly done so. Hemp is Cannabis (Cannabis sativa).
So a canvas tent can be a cannabis tent!
@@hylke45 Where are you getting the cannabis sativa from hemp is cannabis with a less than 0.3% THC rate sativa and indica are strains of cannabis that have different effects on the high there is no need to put cannabis sativa unless you are trying to sell it to people who smoke it for those effects
I like the home-made tent. It almost looks store bought at first glance. You and Crazy Neighbor did a great job! Love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Just discovered this channel recently and I'm loving it. I especially loved the "homemade raft on the North Saskatchewan River" videos as I spent 17 years living in Cold Lake, Alberta and did a fair bit of canoeing. And Crazy Neighbour is such a wonderful camping companion, you're lucky to have him. After the shoelace campfire conversation (which killed me), he now needs his own sweatshirt... you can wear "Hunker Down" and he can have one that says "How's your aglets?" hahaha
By the way, the world needs a Hunker Down cookbook... just sayin'.
Hi Crazy neighbor. What a perfect ending to a crappy day ! Thanx Steve,and Crazy Neighbor !
Omg,"Steve, you've led a sheltered life"...I BELLY LAUGHED
Its the little things that make me smile, like Steve serving good ol' crazy neighbour before himself 😊😊 you're a good man sir
Quickly becoming my regular watch for my end of day 'hunker down' 👍
I love Crazy Neighbor’s enthusiasm. I def want that at his age. Joie de vivre!!
The shoe lace conversation that has nothing to do with anything made me laugh. This channel is so unique.
That is why I love his stuff. No script and natural flow.
Crazy neighbor lore deepens, his name is Glenn. He has a mortal name!!!
I think we found out a few months ago, when they almost got caught by the mnr narc patrol... maybe before that video too
Crazy Neighbor is an Angel from Heaven to help Steve...
He’s also an engineer with a super dope car!
Yeah glen also said Steve's wife's name out loud a few months ago too. Im forgetting her name though.
@@bradsully6620 it’s just as well, she doesn’t want to be known, she probably appreciate the forgetfulness 😀
We won't ever forget crazy neighbor....invaluable friend you are lucky to have!!!
I am 30 years old and I grew up watching your videos. I can remember the nineties well, good shit.
The shoelace conversation just made me laugh out loud, and I don't know why!! Thank you Steve and Crazy Neighbor for being so entertaining without even trying!! For me, this is better than anything on TV.
Steve always keeps coming up with cool new camping set ups
I finally have to ask: who or WHAT the hell are you ?!?!?! And how can you be in every single UA-cam video / comment section ?!?! WHAT are you man ?!?!?!
RSK
@@Elektrokissa You need to step away from the screen and breathe some fresh air if this is what gets you so worked up
@@Elektrokissa a pokemon youtuber or he was about 5 years ago not sure about now
not new lol
I love all Steve's videos, and they are even more fun when Crazy Neighbor appears - pair of total legends! Their down to earth nature and the humour in their conversations is really wholesome.
I love crazy neighbour his humour is fun and he really adds to the video
When I was a kid (about 50 years ago), my parents and I would go camping in the Oregon forest camps. Our tent was a sheet of clear plastic that my Dad fashioned into a "lean to." We were comfy, dry, and camping. 🏕 Good memories.
Same here, did a lot of camping as a kid 50+ years ago in Washington and I can't remember us ever owning a tent, it was cheap plastic tarps or nothing, my dad would say tents are for wimps. One time we wished we would of had a tent, we hiked into 7 lakes basin in the Olympic Mountains, all we had was the cheap plastic tarp on a rope between 2 trees, a hurricane force storm came through that night and we ended up huddled in a pile holding onto what tarp we could, rode that storm out like that all night, we could feel the tree roots moving underneath us the wind was blowing so hard and moving the trees around. We woke to find Bear tracks all around us in the mud, a bear must of circled us a couple times sniffing us. Everything we had was soaking wet, couldn't find anything dry enough to start a fire, there was an outhouse with cedar shingles and I tore a couple off the back of it that were dry to start a fire. That's when a forest ranger showed up!
He'd been watching us with binoculars from his wall tent around the lake, we didn't even know he was there, he suggested calling in a helicopter to get us off the mountain, said we were grossly unprepared, my dad told him we were fine, we got a fire started, that's when he suggested we could get a ticket for damaging government property for ripping shingles off the outhouse as he'd seen me do it. The ranger was nice enough to let us dry out some of our stuff in his wall tent, it had a wood stove in it, it was fancy, surprised he didn't have a washer and dryer. We dried our stuff and stayed another day, roughing it was fun, but my Dad eventually bought a 40 foot school bus and we converted it to a camper, but that's a whole other story/s ! ;)
@Dan Thomas That's a pretty good story!
Nothing like getting toasted and watching Steve and Crazy Neighbor talk about tying their shoes.
🪲💚💚💚💚
😂 poor crazy neighbor!! He's seriously the best crazy neighbor in the world omg!! I love him 💖😍
My boys absolutely love it when crazy neighbor is with you!!
And I appreciate you for giving people opportunities showing them things that they can use if they don't have the money to camp because everything is just way out of whack with money so God bless you thank you for that and crazy neighbor
