Hunkering Down Camping In Treehouse With Pantry Meal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- I managed to get out to the treehouse to film a quick camping video for this Thursday. We are about a week away from being out on the acreage for good, so things will smooth out and resume the typical upload schedule. Cheers to all and please hunker down and stay safe out there.

Please don’t change your style, no music in the background, no b-roll. Thanks. Just raw material.
If you watch his old documentary Boondocking, there's lots of background music and b-roll and the style is just very different. Great either way.
Yea these camp guys always get a few thousand subs and decide they need B-roll and shitty country music in the background
Ok yeah make your demands but you go ahead and pay him then. His channel. He can do whatever he wants with it. Thanks.
No cartoon drop-in’s
DaveJones Gaming if we watch his content than technically we are paying him, he makes money from ad revenue which he gets from “us”, how is that hard to understand pea brain
Steve, my goal in life is to have as chill of a temperament as you do. The whole world seems to have lost it's collective mind, and your video brought me back to the reality that everything's ok and we're all gonna be good. Thanks, bro
We will be alright but it seems we might have to fight to live a free life. These "world leaders" seem to all envy China so they are trying it in tbeir country. The "stay safe OR ELSE" attitude should be a huge wakeup call for everyone.
"Rughts aren't rights if someone can just take them away"
Agreed though, these videos remind me of what I want, a simple life.
Shit he prolly just "hunkerin" down and dodgin the FEDS! LOL he lookeded kinda nervous and shit like he been out there cooking shake and bake dope and getting his daily fluid intake from yankee steel RESERVE. Dont set the 32 oz. Gatorade bottle down and dont stop swirlin it or it'll blow up on ya.. jkjk .... no but for real I bet it's way easier to get ephedrine up there huh? ..... oh well there ain't been real dope since the 80s anyway.. stay off the crack and dont do the FLOCKA FLOP..! 👌
Steve is currently my therapy for getting thru covid-19, oh!- and also the Pocket Girls, them too.
@@Quoteunquot3 yeah the other day resident in thief said it was his job to protect Americans.
WRONG. It's his job to protect the constitution and secure our rights!!
His vids relax me and make me wish all I had to do in life was live off the land and hunker down.
"for some reason, everything seems to be closed" LOL
I'm glad that he didn't say the reason. Sick of hearing it. The new C-word.
If he says Coronavirus youtube will demonetize right away, lots of channels are doing the same .

Wait... Really??
Joe Robinet keeps refering to "it" as swine flu, bird flu, ebola....he knows whats out there just selective in his words based on UA-cams current algorithms.
The fact you suggested people donate to something else says a lot about you Steve. You’re a great guy, mate. We all get enjoyment out of your videos and wish you all the best and you seem like a really decent person. Stay healthy and safe.
Totally agree
There’s a quiet modesty and a kindness to these videos that just soothe the soul.
Steve is THE BEST quarantine entertainment. Hunkering down in Florida 🤙🏻
He's isolating the shit out of himself.
I agree the middle of nowhere sounds great to me.
Stay safe!
Same here in Florida. What town are you located at?
Mate, hunkering down in Queensland Australia...be safe buddies
I’m dying. “The trees are getting bigger” the boards dried out, steve
I know, I'm laughing, it is killin' me.
Funnier if he puts them tight now when it gets warm and humid and they expand.
The tree house is bolted to 4 trees, thats what he ment🤦🏻♂️
This is why we use seasoned wood.
Don't trees grow like Jack and the Bean Stalk? hahaha
U seem like one of the most genuine and no bs guy I have ever seen on UA-cam. Keep it up.
He is. 💞
my opinion too....
He definitely is
You now realize why he has over half a million subscribers and gets millions of views
Strange how youtube works, but you start to grow attached to the people you watch. You start wondering how their doing, and if they are alright. Steve, hope everything is OK with you bud. Love your content, love your realness. You seem like an everyday Canadian I would hang out with. God bless, love the civil war era moustache lol. you wear it well
Why not pray for them? I do, I ask in the name of Jesus that God blesses these UA-camrs, makes them and their families invisible to the enemy, and has mercy on their souls that they may find God Almighty and spend eternity with him.
I always think this and thought this when i found this while stuck in bed with a tyroid thing. I just watched something random and it became a great show and way to pass time when I really need it.
Steve: “There’s a lot of air gaps in here”
Tarp in background: Blows gently wide open in the breeze 😅
Seriously. Like why not tuck it inside.
That tarp blowing wide open was killing me.
I was like, Steve, dude, it may be a little warmer in there with the heater if you tighten down that tarp flap in the back behind you. And," The snow must have gotten in through the gaps in the boards," as the tarp flaps open gently in the breeze behind him. 😂😂😂 Keep up the great content Steve!
whats a tarp when youve got propane?
rest of the world: What are we going to do about this pandemic?
Steve: I want a hotdog.
I'm going to build a treehouse like Stephen hunker down.
9 Lives And Counting ok boomer
@9 Lives And Counting survivalist? i dont think you know what survivalist means cause camping aint it
I’m not sure he knows about the pandemic.
@@eganfo he's drinking a Corona tho
“for some reason everything’s closed”. And a Corona beer. Steve’s got jokes!
I been laughing about that.
We can't find a moving company "for some reason" LOL...this guy is GREAT!
I wonder what the reason was? Hmm...
“The biggest thing that I’m concerned about to be honest right now is that this thing is going to fall apart.” -every guy who’s ever put
anything together while drinking
Just made a bookshelf. Can confirm
Shit I rebuilt my car drunk
like... *my life
I added some support to my bed frame and I think about it every night
its less the drinking and more the qualification
Dude. You're an adult with a tree house. Damn I'm jealous!
Who is using frying oil and dollar store sparklers to make a bon fire...
I'm more jealous of his 24 acres...
@@nithshithhith4398 and the no internet, wonder what thats like. does the ringing go away steve?
Steve, your boards have spaces because they've been outside in the dry Alberta climate losing moisture, which causes them to shrink. All the best from your neck of the woods.
Shrink indeed .
Yep...the green treated decking boards I used horizontally on the walls of my treehouse shrank too once they dried out...have quarter inch gaps between all the boards...and they aren't even screwed to real trees (6" x 6" beams sunk into the ground vertically)...so I know the tree growth was a non factor. Besides, the trees moisture is in the roots during winter...so they're not growing right now.
Yes, exactly this.
Yes, came to the comments to find this.
Steve never heard of shrinkage? :-P
Kind of a reality version of “Red Green Show” for the 21st century. Love the show thanks for the distraction, we need it.
I am a man, i can change, if i have too, i guess
Jon Johnson when my younger brother and I discovered Red Green back in the 1970s not many of our American friends shared our love for the show, but I still watch it to this day, thanks to U-Tube. Keep Your Stick on the Ice.
James Summerlin youtube is a wonderful place, eh?
I recall a sketch called “the winter of our discount tent” on red green.
I’ve heard that hemp rope is good for filling in contracting & expanding wooded planks. Tap it in the gaps and it has give and take.
Oakum
@@twohseven YUP!
They actually make foam backer rods of various sizes to fill gaps like that.
What hemp rope?
@Sparkymax lol except you don't smoke hemp 😁
"We built this thing without a level, and without a plan..." 🤣
Steve Your videos calm me down and are therapeutic for my depression, I appreciate it Sir , keep up the good work !
Steve, we’re gonna need some “hunker down” or “step 2” beer koozies! Stay well!
Yes! For sure
Please!!
I would buy some too
yes Steve, Beer Koozies please .......
Yeah I would buy a nice simple beer koozie for like 5 or 10 bucks
Boards shrink always. Especially If They have a decent moisture content prior to installation.
Especially soft wood and that looks like pine.
He didn't sleep outside, he slept in the treehouse. You must be new here.
@Rick Rude you are new to this channel. Go look at what he has done. You will not doubt him. He even has a documentary...
Great Steve thanks alot. Needed this distraction. Hunker down has a global meaning now. Stay safe from the UK.
Wood Planks: We shrink as we dry out
Steve: I think the trees are getting bigger
Haha hilarious
Those would be some huge trees if they grew that fast. lol
Aldy I would have not thought wood that has been laid out on a place for who knows how long would have had any shrink left in them.
I learned about wood shrinking after building a pier and spacing the boards with a piece of base trim, by the time the new green wood dried out you could drop a phone between some of the planks.
Jason Burson yea totally I hear ya, thing is wood constantly swells and shrinks based on its moisture content (if were gettin technical lol) so I mean hell, if it sat there and got rain on er, it would swell, then dry out and shrink. Rinse and repeat! I get a kick out of guys building privacy fences with the boards tucked tight... then a week or two goes by and theyre scratchin the ol noggin askin what happend lol
Aldy down here in Texas it pretty much just dries out and never moistens back up
Jason Burson haha well ya got me there! Stay safe down there south of the border eh! 👍
Watching you just chilling by yourself and enjoying the cold always brings a smile to my face.
Only Steve would pull out a bottle of Corona when the Corona virus is at large . Stay safe everyone . Awesome video as usual Steve.
Tommy Ray pfffft
Sales are down on Corona! Need to support the beer!
@@BeesBikinis Hopefully the prices are down too.
@@BeesBikinis I hope you haven't lost your job yet, so you dont have to explain that to your children. I did. Its been 11 days since I lost my job as a chef. Im still waiting on my first $200/ week unemployment check. People are really screwed because of this covid-19. So please dont encourage jokes making fun of it. I REALLY dont know what im gonna do. So either shut up, or start trying to make the world a better place
Good price, no doubt!
Some people listen to gentle music or sounds of nature to relax themselves before bed.
I hunker down with the sounds of Steve camping!
"I know I'm sitting in a forest full of wood, but..." - pulls out bag of dollar store wood. "The biggest thing that I’m concerned about to be honest right now is that this thing is going to fall apart.” - 5min later: "This thing sure creaks up here" - continues talking about canned chicken. Steve is the best.
I will continue to watch every second you put out Steve. Please continue doing watch you do. Thanks so much for countless laughs and relaxing step 2's. We love you man!
I like this a lot very very wholesome , he corrects his self as if we’re there with him , I like his style he’s authentic and only tries to be himself this shit rocks man , you gotta keep being you never change .
Is that a corona beer? We call that vaccine in my house.
Nice
Full send eh?
@Amy Sternheim Eyyyy
I bought a case of Modelo sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire.
lime for your corona
I’m hunkering down in a rental house I’m rehabbing. Twin mattress left by previous owner. A tarp over it and a couple of moving blankets. At least the furnace works!! Stay safe Mr Steve. Wish I had a step two right about now.
Im from SK and was at the bar last week and a lady mentioned she wanted another step 2. Then proceeded to spread your channel to other patrons
Cool....
@@skasgardenit was actually because Steve wasnt nearly at the subscriber count he is now.
Steve, thank you for being you and embodying the spirit of hunkering down, something all of us are doing right now for the good of the world. Your videos help me get through the times I don't feel so positive about this outbreak. I wish you good health and I look forward to the future times you hunker down in Hunkertown.
Steve, I just watched your boondocking vid from 3 yrs. ago and the transformation your life’s love has made in you is an inspiration and a testament to her, and yourself. May God bless your house and your union.
I love the little Easter eggs in this video. "All of the moving companies are gone for some reason", proceeds to open up a Corona Step-2. Lol.
Why am I watching some dude in his treehouse eating “ pantry food” and I can’t stop. Weird.
I'm right with ya. Unexplainable.
That's what I said two years ago
Now who looks like a crazy person camping alone in the woods, well, it's still Steve but now we're more envious.
Can't stop watching your videos, I seen them all a couple of times. Great work Steve. Very enjoyable content.
Legend has it that the trees are still getting bigger somehow
How are they doing that? Haha.
Buys an acreage...builds a tree house. Now you’re camping with Steve!
pleonardjr love it
@T Wilson The moment he protects it, he loses it all in court fees. Welcome to Canada
@T Wilson Now all the thieves know he's got "pantry food" in there. He'll never be safe again!
Lived in a tiny log cabin in the 90's In interior of BC. Christmas95 was so cold and windy one night I woke up cold. Thought geez is colder than usual. Looked from my loft bed and thought well those Christmas lights way up the hill there look cool. Almost was asleep again when I realized that there was no window in that wall! Was so cold the birch logs shrunk and the moss chinking blew out in the high winds. I could put my hand through in places. Have a feeling the boards shrunk on you.
Enjoyed reading that little story! :)
@@lloydus_maximus Thanks!
Well, Steve... Ya built with warm morning wood and then left the fly down. Shrinkage is inevitable. Always keep your wood warm, the misses will thank you.
Lol @ " Warm Morning wood"!
😂✔💯👍
I was in the pool, I WAS IN THE POOL!
jamie - thank you for that great laugh.
6:19 I like that Steve only suspects that Crazy Neighbor was the one who built the bench from the treehouse scraps. They were the only two people we saw working on the treehouse in the video when it was being built. If not Steve or Crazy Neighbor, then who? Is somebody stealth building on Steve's acreage?
now stealth building, thats some content.
😂
He uses so many different things to start fires with: sparklers, doritos, flame thrower....hand sanitizer.
gas.fryer oil lol
I was just thinking the same thing. Sparklers are always the first thing I think of when I’m starting a camp fire. 🤣
grease from take out food
And used tea lights
Doritos are a primo late night snack.
wood moves, thus the invention of "tongue and groove" .. you built with wet wood and it shrank, by using a tongue and groove the wood can expand and contract without gaps.. is easier than it sounds.
Dave Satosky you sir are absolutely correct. I said out loud why they shrank when Steve was thinking about it lol
@T Wilson id love to, advice can also be helpful. bruh lol
Shove some moss or.... Newspaper the gaps since everything seems to be covered with flippin snow
@@mumfordalien1794 Mud works, too.
Overlapping ship lap works best then there is no horizontal gap. Water sheds of the lower edges. You can still do it with square edge boards if that’s all you have.
Recycle your cans and line the wood wall in flat sheets reflect some heat and light
Wood shrinks in cold weather as well as when it dries out causing gaps
Yeah, winter air is much drier than it seems, drys those boards out good and proper.
Lots of ways to fix what he has there though. Ship lap is probably the way to do it. The bigger problem is the tarps and keeping the trees together, and hopefully the roof is good-to-go.
Other channels I watch - I'm going to start this fire using a primitive now drill and wet wood. If that doesn't work I'll cheat and use this ferro rod.
Steve - I brought along two gallons of cooking and oil and pack of sparklers its going to be lit.
Haha I love it
It's great to see Steve in a video where he is not worried about being "booted" off from where he is camping! But i really enjoyed those vids the most!
Our entire state got told to Hunker Down by the Governor of indiana. Soon as he said it me and my beautiful wife both said "Steve!!!"
Hoosier Outdoor nice to see a fellow Hoosier who enjoys Steve’s wholesome videos
Hey fellow Hoosiers. Stay safe y'all. 🙏
I'm not the only Hoosier! Hunker Down!
Hunkering down on the west side of the great state of Indiana. Should have let that wood dry out before construction. Working my 2 days a week at my essential job selling auto parts. Retirement otherwise is fabulous. Had a pot o beans over a fire for supper as beautiful wife had several Step 2's.
It’s been a common phrase long before Steve was even born.
"Its not too cold out here today," he says. Snow on the ground and the beer is frozen. That's cold in my book. Love the tree house. Watched you and crazy neighbor build it.
Just noticed Steve is drinking a corona beer. He’s not worried about this pandemic at all. Refreshing
Corona is like the most expensive beer in AB he's actually showing off.
simon-pierre larochelle that’s why he’s only got 1
@@simon-pierrelarochelle4403 shit it costs $250 for 1 here in nyc
In my village in England, they reduced the price to £10 for 10 bottles per pack. I think they're desperate to sell it out as quickly as possible. Normally, it was expensive.
On that note, just bought myself a pack and I'm gonna enjoy them. Bargain!
The rest of the world: I didn't get my stimulus check.
Steve: Eats a hotdog & hunkers down
being canadian is a fucking luxury dude idk what your smoking. I could've gone up there myself since I was bordering it but I decided I liked things more southern and less cold. not everybody who needs a stimmy is a wasteful person
@@jennytalia6724 exactly. That cheque stopped me and my family from living on the streets from what COVID did to us financially
My cat enjoyed hearing the chicken can open, and the tomato can fooled him.
The intro killed me “welcome to camping with Steve, I’m Steve well let’s get at it” lmao
Yeah, "welcome to Camping with Steve. I'm Steve".
NO WAY
As an experienced deer stand builder I can tell you that trees sway, and that is probably part of your structural problems. Just wait until you have leaves on the trees to catch the wind. Your four corners will twist and turn in some funky ways. If you really want to build a tree fort it sort of needs to float up in the tree, not totally secured in a typical fashion to a sturdy complete base. Good luck!
I love your innovative camping techniques, I couldn't quit laughing when you built that fire. So easy, peasy, I just love it! So glad you and beautiful wife bought that land - - - you're timing was impeccable!.
I just have to say man, you're the best out there right now. I love bushcraft and all that stuff, but I absolutely just love seeing you out there having fun camping without spending thousands of dollars to have the best of the best equipment. Here's having a Step 2 in your honor good sir!
This is Steve mostly drinking beer whilst living like the homeless. perfect.
did he git a building permit ?
@@sandymoonstone855 U R kidding right? At least in Virginia (usa), you can build a treehouse in your own woods.
Steve gets it. He understands what life is about. People get soooo caught up in the rat race of life and meanwhile Steve is very happy hunkering down.
Imagine Steve playing poker against Ray Mears and Les Stroud.
"I see your fire bow and steel striker and raise you a sparkler and some used cooking oil"
Would be a hell of a game 😅
so envious.. that is a really nice place..every time I hear someone say.. we just have to hunker down we all think of you...take care..
Missed ya! Been hunkering down here waiting for your next vid! I was a fan before it was cool to be a fan!
Hey Steve. Looks like you moved out of the city just in time will all that is going on. Stay safe and keep up with your awesome videos !!
This video his home, I just had one of my lifelong dreams come true and was able to buy some beautiful property here in Western New York. I’m looking forward to camping on it, and if you are out this way you could too.
God luck friend. I was born and raised in the Catskills. Been in MN for the last 42 years or so. Miss the hills and farms, but I now love the lakes and fishing, etc. I hope to retire to about a 40 acre lot and live in a nice cabin.
One of the best channels out there. Steve... you are the man!!!!
Daily Reminder:
Steve was Hunkering Down before Hunkering Down went Viral
Looks like the wall boards shrank when they dried out. If they get wet they should swell shut again.
Yep, I agree.
Trees grow from the top. I am pretty sure your boards shrank. They should swell back in the summer to some extent.
Steve: "It's pretty quiet"
*snowmobiles revving loudly in the background*
Hi Steve! I love the cooking segments of your videos!I have tried many of your recipes and they were quite good! Hunker Down! Sending love and hugs to you, Beautiful Wife, Crazy Neighbor, and Garbage!
Hey Look, it's Camping with Steve.. We used to build tree houses all the time as kids. You may have to move it to some older trees that don't move as much with wind. But hey try and try again. Time for step two's.
When you look up Hunkering Down in the dictionary (verb) it shows a picture of Steve and his treehouse. Love the content!
We’re all currently hunkering down with this coronavirus going on.
Your amazing mate. Not too be too Over the top. Your videos helped me through depression. I’ll thank you for being an inspiration mate. Thank you. Keith. England.
Don't change. I dig your "I am what I am" comfort in your own skin. Your unique, unpretentious, honest.
You're a breath of fresh air on media filled with anger and hate. Don't change!
"We cant find a moving company...for some reason..." **drinks Corona** Steve you sly dog you 🤣
LOL having a Corona while wondering why everything is closed. Classic. Keep it up dude!
Man! I was just off to bed having binge watched a few more Camping with Steve videos. But I can't go to bed now without watching this one...
Oh my. It is binge time. I just discovered Steve today. I have to go to work tomorrow, but I have several hours before I have to "Hunker Down". Camping in a highway median. I guess I am not the only one that has thought of that and Steve actually does it!!
I am amazed that there's still snow.. Love watching your stuff.. It's freaking 90° outside here, snow just seems like, "is this an old video or what"? Wow at snow still hard to believe.
Still snow, it’s usually gone by now (or mostly gone) but this year is awful!
Your living the good life, you deserve it buddy.
Just got my Hunker Down t-shirt earlier this week. Now I can truly Hunker Down™ while I hunker down and watch Steve on my UA-cams hunker down.
Get some Simpson quick ties for the tree house. My step 2 would be wine or hard liquor. Yes I am a female. Would love to have an acreage love yours. Your videos make me happy, thanks.
Living vicariously through your videos Steve. I just found your channel a few weeks ago and already hooked! Cheers to you
Lmaooo...the "for some reason" kills me every time😂😂😂
glad your doing well so far through this pandemic.
Tough time to have a large project going on at a new home purchase during this time. Best of luck Steve!
"...no police helicopters ... yet."
Steve, my Dad was a carpenter and taught us all about wood. Your lumber is drying and when the water evaporates, it makes the board shrink. That's not the trees growing, you wont have that problem for quite a while yet! Love your videos! You know there's a Pandemic right now of a deadly virus everywhere in the world, correct? Sometimes I can't tell if you're joking! Lol ….Stay safe!!
you looked thinner and tired Steve. Moving is definitely hard work. i loved the cooking oil & sparklers to start the fire. the wildlife on your property sounds great. pileated woodpeckers are beautiful even tho they will peck large holes in your trees. stay safe. your videos are unique..
My guess on the tracks: pugs chasing a chupacabra.
Gotta be it
😂😂😂
He's in Canada, clearly it was a heard of angry Wendigo's!
Yeti running from kid with camera!
The tree didn't grow that much in that time.... The wood dried out n shrank lol Exposure.. Sun.. Air.. Time...
Unless I am mistaken, trees don't grow that way. That is why you can carve initials into a tree and come back later to find them at the same spot, or rather at the same height.
“It doesn’t taste very disgusting” Lol. You’re hilarious!
Steve, i have officially dubbed you the bob ross of camping. So pleasant and genuine. Can't stop watching
Steve is as wholesome as they come!
Loved the suggestion on the donations.
We love your videos and always join you in your step 2.
Greetings from Miami, FL.
Cheers Steve 🍻
Good to see you! I can’t count the times recently I’ve heard doctors, government officials, UA-camrs and the like say “Hunker Down”. ‘Till later!
Poor Steve this time it looks like he's doing about as good as the rest of the country. Treehouse falling apart, Step 2's frozen, long lines at the stores, tripod falling over, no chainsaw, hummingbird infestations! lol Hang in there brother. :D. Also it would be the most Hunker Down thing ever if Steve had no idea about the Coronavirus stuff and was like "The supermarket around here is nuts this time of year!"
*Steve seems oblivious to what’s going on in the world*
Also Steve: *Drinks a corona*
Steve your deadpan humour never fails! Looking forward to the next upload my man!
Thanks for the Hunkering Down video. Was missing these even before I was forced to hunker down too.
You are the man Steve. I enjoy you laid back approach and tasty recipes. You always can find alternative ways to make things work out. Fox bless and watch the steps. Keep Hunkering down my friend
