My oldest son has been getting to the “too cool to hang with dad” stage of adolescence. However, he makes sure he’s there to watch Camping with Steve with me! Watching your videos and talking about your adventures have became our new thing together! Thank you Steve!!!
Hey man - hope you’re feeling better today. You have people all over the world rooting for you. Things will never be the same and they will always be different, but life goes on, just, differently. Also - do you have the most wholesome comment section on UA-cam or what? It’s a credit to you the kindness you attract in people and bring out in people.
I've been a watching since the gasfitting school days. It's a tribute to Steve and everyone that helps with the channel that this [not so little anymore] community is still so friendly, positive, and supportive. Thank you Steve, thank you Barry, thank you everyone!
I don't know what it is, but watching Steve camp behind a billboard beside a highway, sip beer, and cook a feast, gives me the quiet sense of calm that everything is gonna be alright.

Thanks for the shoutout. “Remember that it is a privilege, not a right, to be there for someone who is experiencing perhaps the worst moment of their life.”
I used to live near an ambulance hub, (Depot?) every time I heard the sirens I said a prayer for them. Basically asking God to protect the workers, and to give them skill, and traveling mercies to arrive at the scene and hospital safely. And of course for the one/s who needed the urgent aid that they would be able to get the help and care that was needed. Now I live closer to the hospital because of my medical needs, but still hear them in the distance. Recently I have been blessed and owe my life to an ambulance team that I have no idea who they were or what they looked like when getting hit with acute adrenal failure. I couldn't see even with my eyes open and they had to hassle me to respond in the smallest way. It was only a 2 mile ride, but they got me into the ER all prepped and ready to get emergency medicine pumped right in, on time. I was able to walk away from the hospital 6 days later with no permanent damage. So thank you very much for your hard work, and I hope that you know that you are loved. Statistically it's impossible to save everyone, but you do so much good for the many people you are able to save and help. You and your co-workers are a blessing to others in need. May you enjoy rest and relaxation on your down time, and be able to take care of yourself.
@macomegaly5116 back in my religious days I did the same. Now that I've lost my faith I try to send out positive energy to those in their time in need. No idea if it works but it can't hurt.
For me it was mostly people who had symptoms 3 days ago but all of a sudden just had to go to the ER at 3 in the morning. Or drunks, lots and lots of drunks.
My husband died 26 years ago. I was no where near Steve in putting myself forward in life at this point. So grateful for Steve sharing on UA-cam. Inspiration to all.

If someone had told me 10 years ago that i'd be watching a guy camping behind a sign on UA-cam and absolutely loving it, i'd have called them insane.

Your channel keeps getting better and better.

Man, today's been a great day. Got up in a good mood and without pain, had a good breakfast, got some fantastic news at work, got a free dessert at supper, and then a notification that there's a new Camping with Steve video? What a wonderful day.
Man, I really hate to see you suffer like that!(Just wanted to add some 'fun knee' at the tail end of your wonderful day! Just getting a free dessert at dinner alone deserves a bit of social humor. Good work news is like a bone with meat still left on it, too!)
Just ordered 2 tops, a stubby holder and a sticker; previously I didn’t buy as postage to Australia is insane. Steve, we are going to wear the merch every time we go camping. Will send you a pic!
Don't worry about advertising to us. You're such a genuine person who provides us with content that helps many of us get through our days, you deserve a lot.
I love how you enjoy camping in places that you shouldn't. I don't know that I'd enjoy sleeping so close to the road, but I'm glad to know I could! Glad to see you smiling again. I hope you are bringing all of your happy memories along with you.
Steve just feels like that good buddy that’s always there. Follow other channels and like many other creators, but few would I want to crack open a step 2 with, cheers to ya Steve!
Steve, my heart is with you. Love is so powerful. And it does not have a switch that you can flip on and off. Hang in there . Always remember you have over a million subs that love the shit out of you and are in your corner. Thank you for allowing yourself to share your sad with us. You have gotten so many of us through some really rough times. Maybe we can help you get through this. Cheers everybody
only in Canada, eh 🇨🇦🤣😂🇨🇦 how did I not think to do this thirty yrs ago when I was out in Alberta 🇨🇦😂🤣🇨🇦 not sure why YT recommends what it does but sure needed stealth camping right now - will enjoy then try and find out what you’re up to in April of 2024 - take care stay safe
40 years young this week, and I just bought myself a small 1 man tent, a pad and a bag and I'm going to get out and enjoy some wilderness after finding your channel a few weeks ago. Love your attitude to life, you're an inspiration.
Steve cooking enough food for 5 people is probably one of my favourite things about his videos. Never fails to make me grin (plus how does he always make it look so good??)
Although it is funny is some way, on the other hand you may ask why he would be spilling so much factory produced food? Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan.
One time he made too much rice, beans, and cheese and then proceeded to make burritos until the sun went down (or that's how it appeared because he was eating them and then the next thing we saw was him walking back to his camp in the dark) and I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of him accidentally making enough small burritos to feed a family of 5 lol. They looked so delicious!!!
Thanks, Steve! I used to be a professional first responder when I was younger for both an ambulance company and for the fire department and I appreciate your thoughts for the situation at the other end of those calls. Now, I always keep a hefty first aid kit and help anyone I stumble upon who needs it since I'm medically-trained because I've been on the other side of those calls and, as fast as we can get there to help, help never feels like it comes quickly enough when you really need it and I can remember how good those sirens sound when you know they're coming to help you.
Was just typing something similar. Thank you for your service to the community my friend. Same here, paramedic and lots of critical care on a paediatric advanced life support ambulance. Never fails though that someone will crash or fall out in front of me though 😂. It’s like I’ve never left sometimes.
It's a shot I love whenever I see 'driving/walking away' footage. 'Cause you know they have to run back for the camera immediately afterward. The joys of one-person filming!
You're right, weirder is always better 😅 Anyone who's lost someone to trauma, gets a kick in the gut at the sight and sound of an ambulance. I felt for you in that moment ❤️
I have only stumbled across your channel very recently, but after watching a few videos I am super happy to notice how respectful and kind you are. Always picking up litter and wishing people the best. Super humble guy. Thank you for being so awesome!
Welcome to the channel. It's always important to leave no trace when camping but if you can make it look even better than how you found it, all the better!
@Steve Wallis Hey Steve, just a question, do you live on the island? I love watching the videos and after seeing this sign everyday it was a surprise to see it in a video!
Hey Steve! Thanks for the shout-out to first responders. I'm a 911 dispatcher and love to watch your videos during downtime on night shift. My whole job consists of listening to people in their worst moments (relatives dying, witnessing cardiac arrests and giving them cpr instructions, drug overdoses, car accidents, domestic violence, shootings, etc.). But we also take a lot of abuse. When someone doesn't do their job correctly, we get cussed out and abused. We get tons of prank calls. We get treated like scum by police officers, EMS, and fire fighters. I've been doing this for 7 years and the world is getting worse and worse every day. I've been depressed lately, but videos like yours make my day just a little bit better. I hope you're doing better today!
It takes fortitude and determination to do the best for people that you can. I am concerned that ones who should be your supporters, aren't. You are serving persons who are having the worst day of their lives. Full of panic and desperation.
I think Steve appeals to us, not just because hes a genuinely lovely guy, but the child in us looks at these places and just thinks "cubbyhole". Solidarity 😆
Yes steve great to see you back at it again. You've inspired so many people around the world and created an entirely different niche version of camping. Love it mate it's something that i look forward to every week. You're inspiring many including myself. Can't wait to get started ✌
Your explanation of the learning curve is spot on! Every new camper or even army recruit packs so much stuff, that they end up not really enjoying a lot of it, because they end up exhausted and having to search that seemingly bottomless backpack. Over time you learn to pack a bare minimum, which will you through 99% of situations. My list for roughly a week: - Sleeping bag (non-compressed because it's connected to a bivi) - Sleeping mat (Very light, just meant as a water barrier) - Underwear - Socks (extras) - Tarp - 15m paracord This is it really... I've slept like a baby through hurricane weather with that kit. I live in a temperate climate, it's wet constantly... But the bivi is optional, it's just an easy solution to the water problem - saves me time and allows me to stay dry on lower ground. But to each their own, some pack like mules - which is fine, we all enjoy different things.
@@lindakleckner215 Ahh yea, I didn't cover consumables ^^ You'd of course need to pack food, or kit to catch it. I also carry a knife and small fold-able shovel, but only the knife is really a "must".
@@PaulMcClennon282 Hehe... Wool is your friend, and don't overdo the deodorant. A thin inner t-shirt of merino wool and a slightly thicker long sleeve regular wool shirt is great for outdoors. Odor isn't really a problem, you only really notice it during bedtime, but it's not that bad. And as for pants... I can wear the same pants unwashed for weeks, as long as they don't get dirty or sweaty. (I recommend cargo pants for outdoor usage, "Fjällräven" is my personal favorite brand)
Me and my wife did this behind the Kelowna BC sign when we first meet and we’re homeless. Before our 4 kids and now owning a house! 😅 good times 🇨🇦 oh and thanks for all you do Steve!
Steve, I'm going through a VERY rough patch in my life and I gotta thank you for bringing me a small chunk of happiness with your videos. It a really odd way, I find it very calming. Thank you for taking us on your camping adventures.
Just keep on keeping on. I can’t say it will get easier, but things get more manageable. I’m coming out of a bad patch. Good luck and my hopes and thoughts are with you.
I saw that picture you posted here about how you weren’t feeling too good. I hope you heal everyday. It’s not easy what you have been through but you’re in all of your followers prayers,Steve! We love you and your content!♥️
@@nicern_lp_rp_gtrxxx5420 I’m happy you are on the other side man and thank you for the encouragement. Thankfully in a better place and I’m getting through the aftermath! To anyone reading this, please don’t give up and use us as testament, things can get better over time.
@@iceman.46 after sorting everything out i got a feeling of happiness i have never felt before. No compound, no car no amount of money even comes close. I also have the feeling this will last a lifetime. I truly hope you will one day reach something similar man. It is what you deserve for doing through hard times
@@nicern_lp_rp_gtrxxx5420 thank you for giving inspiration and keeping the hope alive. Day by day man, I will get there!! It’s awesome people like you in these communities who help me and I’ll always try to pay it forward. Enjoy your weekend brother 🤘
I just want to say thank you for your content….when my husband left me alone during a high risk pregnancy you and foresty Forrest got me through the hours of bed rest…I felt like I was there and didn’t cry…my now 19 month old healthy beautiful daughter and I thank you from our hearts💜
This is awesome. I cannot tell you all the crazy assed places I’ve crashed thru decades of hitching. Church vans ( never locked) bridges, tops of buildings, inside various structures, caves, culverts, washes, a freight train caboose, a lobster boat ( the owner after a breief moment of anger took us out crabbing) on n on. Indeed brings back memories. I never actually slept behind a sign, but plotted climbing a billboard and hanging my hammock just above the hang platform…GIMMIE time. Thanks y’all!
Right? Instant escape, and just a nice reminder of the simple things. I started watching him at about 16 (19 now) and have been stealth camping countless times because of him, it was something me and friends always joked about when we were little, but now I’m doing it thanks to steve:).
Hey Steve hope you are having a better day. You bring so much entertainment to everyone and you make so many people happy. I hope reminding yourself of this makes the bad days a little less bad. Much love.
Steve is like the best human on the planet. Imagine the world if everyone was as kind, modest and considerate as Steve. We need to protect him at all cost.
Thanks to you Steve! When I was a kid I imagined sleeping behind bushes or in the middle of roundabouts who has so many trees or nice bushes. Finding you doing this REAL stealth camping is amazing. Hope your soul is getting stronger every week. Thanks for this unique way to do stealth camping! Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷
My life is now a permanent stealth camp. But u guided me to have the courage over 3 years. Thankful for this channel. Btw my family always says we find random change from our relatives in heaven. My mother gives me coins all the time from beyond. Its so weird
New fan, I cannot believe I hadn't found You before now. my favourite bit is the cooking of the meal, and what you are having, although i do get hungry watching! lol. keep up the great work, and thank you!
Actually can't get over how much joy these videos bring to my day. As somebody who has a weird quirk for these little spots of seclusion you find in the vast miles of trees, and forestry, it almost takes me back to a child like state of comfort,, knowing nothing else matters outside of the spot your camping in and the nature that envelops you. Again thank you Steve, you bring so much peace and calm that this world needs more of so badly, I know your wife is beyond proud of your right now!
You give me hope. It's hard to describe how your content effects me. Your strength during unbelievable pain is beyond amazing... I would love to have a step two with you if our paths ever cross. Cheers to you!
I hope you’re feeling much better, Steve. I really appreciate you still getting out there and working hard even though you’re going through a tough time. You’ve got this!
Steve, I rarely ever leave youtube comments but that dialog you provided on the "Arc" of gear (Starting small, buying big, then consolidating to exactly what you need). Is so accurate! Never heard it summarized so well but this happens for so many things, it's really a sign of mastery when you get to the point where you realize you don't need every tool and it's more about your own skillset and utilizing what you need the most. Well said, thanks for your great videos!
It’s fantastic to see you out and about again Steve!!! Your videos really brighten my day!! It doesn’t matter if it’s a week between videos, or a month, I’ll always be happy when I see you’ve made another great video for us! Take care!!!
11:51 I say the same thing when I hear sirens go by. "Godbless whoever is in trouble". I just lost my dad and sirens coming to my house was the last thing I wanted to experience 😢. Life goes on. I'm not the first to experience loss and won't be the last. Godbless you Steve and everyone here. Keep your head up and take life one day at a time.
Steve, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that there is something so wonderful about some of these stealth camping episodes, like the sign ones or the roundabout ones. I guess it just brings out our inner child-what child never imagined hiding out in one of these places and having some adventures? Thanks so much for bringing these good feelings to so many people.
This brings out such excited glee in me, it is definitely the adult version of making a little fort and “roughing it”. I have enjoyed every single upload ❤
Its so good to see you back again Steve. You look great and rested. Reading through the comment section is incredibly inspiring. A true testament to how amazing you are. Be well and safe travels my friend.
I had a crappy day today. So crappy, I forgot it was Thursday. But it is Thursday, and that means a video from Steve! That always makes things better! Thanks for the video, bud! 😊
I find myself looking for places that you may be "stealth" camping! You are an amazing person and, having lost my love at age 32, I admire your honesty in dealing with daily life. You make my days brighter 😊
This brought back memories of the roundabout...stellar spot, Steve. It tickles me no end how your enthusiasm for finding the right degree of stealth is so contagious to your loyal audience. Salud!
Loved this classic stealth camp viewing. :-) And really get what you said about things we accumulate then realise we don’t really need. Sometimes it even holds us back. Take care Steve, and thanks for all you do for so many with your videos.
Steve! You're spot on about gear. As a music producer, over 16 years, I went from absolutely bare bones essentials all the way to my own studio room with acoustic paneling, custom desk, speaker setup, etc... Now? I'm back to the bare bones. I didn't need all that extra stuff. It's almost like you get it to be taken seriously -- to show you belong. Then, you realize it is just getting in the way! Loving the videos. You're always such a fun watch. Best of luck!
Steve just know we watch these videos for you, not just for the 'crazy' and 'risky' content. You have such a positive perspective, and you are clearly so very empathic, to the point where you refuse to push your merch like 99% of youtubers because you don't want to pressure anyone. That's why I think "Camping with Steve" is such a fitting title for this series, because it's almost just like hanging out with a good friend that you know you would never steer you wrong. Wishing you all the best man!
You know what this remind me of? When I was like 5-7 years old, just going into the bushes or wood playing around building "camps" and just enjoying simple good fun. To honest all your videos bring me back to a simpler time a good time when I was able to enjoy the littles things like imagining that I was camping or in a fort. Thanks a lot for that
Hey Steve. I just wanna let you know that your such a legend! We appreciate you providing great videos for us in this tough time in your life. Just know we are all very happy with rewatching your old videos over and over 😂.
Glad to see you're back at it and hope you're feeling all and well. Just know you and your videos are the highlight of people's day and are very much appreciated!
Steve, I hope you know you bring a lot of happiness to us viewers with your videos. You have certainly provided me entertainment when I’ve felt low. We are all here with you and support you through your journey, through all the ups and downs.
I'm sure it's been said before, but it's beyond doubt that these videos have saved lives. Some people stealth camp for fun, but as our society slowly crumbles around us, more and more people are stuck doing it because they unfortunately have no choice. This channel is a treasure trove of advice and positivity for anyone who has to sleep rough.
@@SpeakTruth2Power4U that’s awesome. I think it helps with the grieving process that loved ones have to go through. My friend lost her husband and he was a fun man so he leaves dimes and pennies she gets a giggle from it. Sometimes he does it when we are out on an adventure day and we always smile. Thank you for sharing with me.
The zipper side bar was awesome. We've all had those small things in life happen and I really love that you captured it and gave it to us. Hope you weekend goes well Steve, until next time 🤟
1:18 "In we go" There is something so amazingly cozy from being exposed to everyone driving by to now we are hiding in the brush. Thank you for such a unique channel.
One of the neat things about where you stealth camp is looking up exactly where it is! Always a nice map hunt! Love your content and am very glad you are keeping up with it! :D
Don't be too down on yourself Steve because these videos are doing a lot more than you think. For me they help me in so many ways you cannot believe, with the loss of my brother they help out so much. Since, this is all that he ever wanted to do camp out in the bush but up North in Fort Simpson. I love watching these videos please do not stop making videos.
STEVE ON THE TRENDING LIST!!!! So happy for you, it’s been a year for you buddy your perseverance is inspiring. Thanks for bringing us in your adventures.
Steve at his best!! Stealth camping behind signs, in roundabouts, construction sites and in parking lots!! Great stuff Steve!! Always a blast to watch you pull these stunts off!! 😉👍
Hi Steve! I’m a hardworking young man who’s never been the best when it comes to outdoors time. Your videos have become a huge favorite of mine over the last few years, starting with seeing your comments on Stobe the Hobo’s (RIP Stobie) videos. You’ve inspired me to take up camping as a hobby, and your continued guile in stealth camping is really tremendous. I continue to wish you the best and thanks for the entertainment over the years!
I swear if I was an LEO I would let you stealth camp all day, the amount of positivity you bring to the community through these videos is amazing, keep doing you Steve, we love ya!
Steve, you are just so nice. You can tell comments about first responders come from the heart. One of the many likeable things about you. Plug your merch, don't feel bad, it makes you do more fantastic videos for us to watch. All the best from the UK❤
YAY, STEVE POSTED A VIDEO!!! Always great to see you, Steve. I like to end my days with your videos so I'll go to bed in a decent mood, and it never fails that I sleep a bit better after I've watched one of your new ones. Thanks for all the effort you give, you're a hell of dude.
Camping With Steve is always the coziest! Even the loud cars were a confort during my shower. It makes me think of all the good spots in the town I grew up in, and the town i live in now! I don't think I'd find it as comforting, but it's a comfort being here on your journeys with you! 🥰
My oldest son has been getting to the “too cool to hang with dad” stage of adolescence. However, he makes sure he’s there to watch Camping with Steve with me! Watching your videos and talking about your adventures have became our new thing together! Thank you Steve!!!
I love that!
I hope you can trick him into going camping together 😊
Yep! They always come back to their roots… been there😅
Nobody is "too cool to hang with Dad".
He is going to find out in a few years how cool his dad is.
Hey man - hope you’re feeling better today. You have people all over the world rooting for you. Things will never be the same and they will always be different, but life goes on, just, differently.

Hunker Down and Find Out T Shirts!!
Steve just feels like that good buddy that’s always there. Follow other channels and like many other creators, but few would I want to crack open a step 2 with, cheers to ya Steve!
I am 70 years old, and I never ever thought that someone would be camping behind a road sign. Looked like a nice little adventure.☺.
Steve, my heart is with you. Love is so powerful. And it does not have a switch that you can flip on and off. Hang in there . Always remember you have over a million subs that love the shit out of you and are in your corner. Thank you for allowing yourself to share your sad with us. You have gotten so many of us through some really rough times. Maybe we can help you get through this. Cheers everybody
❤
Well said!
“Welcome to Camping with Steve; I’ve found a sign”
Probably my favorite sentence ever spoken.
Top notch
Hell yes.
❤
only in Canada, eh 🇨🇦🤣😂🇨🇦 how did I not think to do this thirty yrs ago when I was out in Alberta 🇨🇦😂🤣🇨🇦 not sure why YT recommends what it does but sure needed stealth camping right now - will enjoy then try and find out what you’re up to in April of 2024 - take care stay safe
40 years young this week, and I just bought myself a small 1 man tent, a pad and a bag and I'm going to get out and enjoy some wilderness after finding your channel a few weeks ago. Love your attitude to life, you're an inspiration.
I love how you leave a campsite better than you found it. More people need to take up the hobby and help clean up our landscape! Cheers Steve!
Yes, it's time for another stealth camping with Steve!!!
His sign stealth camps are always a treat.
Yup !
Whooohooo!!!!!!!
👁👅👁
It's a third person experience of a first-person experience playing pubg in the future well camping anyway
Steve cooking enough food for 5 people is probably one of my favourite things about his videos. Never fails to make me grin (plus how does he always make it look so good??)
Although it is funny is some way, on the other hand you may ask why he would be spilling so much factory produced food? Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan.
Right
One time he made too much rice, beans, and cheese and then proceeded to make burritos until the sun went down (or that's how it appeared because he was eating them and then the next thing we saw was him walking back to his camp in the dark) and I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of him accidentally making enough small burritos to feed a family of 5 lol. They looked so delicious!!!
I think sometimes there is more people with him. Camera crew etc.
@@Eratas1 lol, really ?
Thanks, Steve! I used to be a professional first responder when I was younger for both an ambulance company and for the fire department and I appreciate your thoughts for the situation at the other end of those calls. Now, I always keep a hefty first aid kit and help anyone I stumble upon who needs it since I'm medically-trained because I've been on the other side of those calls and, as fast as we can get there to help, help never feels like it comes quickly enough when you really need it and I can remember how good those sirens sound when you know they're coming to help you.
Was just typing something similar. Thank you for your service to the community my friend. Same here, paramedic and lots of critical care on a paediatric advanced life support ambulance. Never fails though that someone will crash or fall out in front of me though 😂. It’s like I’ve never left sometimes.
Love how thoughtful you were for the medics in the ambulance and whoever was in the back of the ambulance.
As a paramedic, I appreciate the nod and perspective of the other end of the ambulance response. Well said.
The ending was hilarious. In this world today, it is so beautiful to see someone with such a pure soul like Steve.
26:00
It's a shot I love whenever I see 'driving/walking away' footage. 'Cause you know they have to run back for the camera immediately afterward. The joys of one-person filming!
Yes. He does have a pure soul.
You're right, weirder is always better 😅
Anyone who's lost someone to trauma, gets a kick in the gut at the sight and sound of an ambulance. I felt for you in that moment ❤️
I have only stumbled across your channel very recently, but after watching a few videos I am super happy to notice how respectful and kind you are. Always picking up litter and wishing people the best. Super humble guy. Thank you for being so awesome!
Welcome to the channel. It's always important to leave no trace when camping but if you can make it look even better than how you found it, all the better!
@Steve Wallis Hey Steve, just a question, do you live on the island? I love watching the videos and after seeing this sign everyday it was a surprise to see it in a video!
Super this - super that! Arghhhh!
Never feel awkward when promoting yourself especially on merchandise. We love you and want to spread the hunker down magic to the world.
It could be the shittiest day ever, it all goes away for the 20+ minutes I’m watching this channel. Your positivity really is inspiring.
Hey Steve! Thanks for the shout-out to first responders. I'm a 911 dispatcher and love to watch your videos during downtime on night shift. My whole job consists of listening to people in their worst moments (relatives dying, witnessing cardiac arrests and giving them cpr instructions, drug overdoses, car accidents, domestic violence, shootings, etc.). But we also take a lot of abuse. When someone doesn't do their job correctly, we get cussed out and abused. We get tons of prank calls. We get treated like scum by police officers, EMS, and fire fighters. I've been doing this for 7 years and the world is getting worse and worse every day. I've been depressed lately, but videos like yours make my day just a little bit better. I hope you're doing better today!
It takes fortitude and determination to do the best for people that you can. I am concerned that ones who should be your supporters, aren't. You are serving persons who are having the worst day of their lives. Full of panic and desperation.
Reward yourself with self praise and little treats or being out in nature for getting through your bad days, also.
Why are first responders treating you like scum? I’ve never heard this before, it’s a team effort, wth? I appreciate you guys! 🫵👍
👍🙏🙏🙏🙏👍 🇺🇦😇
I would seriously consider taking a break from it if depression is creeping in. Thank you for what you have already done.
I think Steve appeals to us, not just because hes a genuinely lovely guy, but the child in us looks at these places and just thinks "cubbyhole". Solidarity 😆
This guy is playing DayZ jn real life and hes got his tent popped up in a hiding place 😂
the child that wants to do naughty things like sleeping behind signs little Devil😈
For me its bc im still a kid (17) and would love to do stuff like this! Just.... not in a hammock ive fallen out of those
Fully factual 😂
Your viewers love you, Steve! Your stealth videos are always the best and a highlight of my week! Stay strong. Thank you, sir.
I like Steve, He comes across as a gentleman and honest man, Good to see.
ONG
Yes steve great to see you back at it again. You've inspired so many people around the world and created an entirely different niche version of camping. Love it mate it's something that i look forward to every week. You're inspiring many including myself. Can't wait to get started ✌
Can't wait to see it 👍
@@CutFromYaJobAiAiAiSorry4Ya really? if you camp you're a hobo? perfect sense
@@mrjinglesdice2368 it would make you wonder how some people's brain work. 😅
There is some delicious irony in 8:09 camping behind a giant photo of a house !
still waiting to see steve get into a bum fight tho
Your explanation of the learning curve is spot on!
Every new camper or even army recruit packs so much stuff, that they end up not really enjoying a lot of it, because they end up exhausted and having to search that seemingly bottomless backpack.
Over time you learn to pack a bare minimum, which will you through 99% of situations.
My list for roughly a week:
- Sleeping bag (non-compressed because it's connected to a bivi)
- Sleeping mat (Very light, just meant as a water barrier)
- Underwear
- Socks (extras)
- Tarp
- 15m paracord
This is it really... I've slept like a baby through hurricane weather with that kit.
I live in a temperate climate, it's wet constantly... But the bivi is optional, it's just an easy solution to the water problem - saves me time and allows me to stay dry on lower ground.
But to each their own, some pack like mules - which is fine, we all enjoy different things.
Just reading here....that's a good list!🙂 Food, a knife or spoon, water, and carry toilet and your all set😄👍.
You are a tough individual! I don’t know if I could do the a week in the same shirt and pants
@@lindakleckner215 Ahh yea, I didn't cover consumables ^^
You'd of course need to pack food, or kit to catch it.
I also carry a knife and small fold-able shovel, but only the knife is really a "must".
@@PaulMcClennon282 Hehe... Wool is your friend, and don't overdo the deodorant.
A thin inner t-shirt of merino wool and a slightly thicker long sleeve regular wool shirt is great for outdoors.
Odor isn't really a problem, you only really notice it during bedtime, but it's not that bad.
And as for pants... I can wear the same pants unwashed for weeks, as long as they don't get dirty or sweaty.
(I recommend cargo pants for outdoor usage, "Fjällräven" is my personal favorite brand)
Me and my wife did this behind the Kelowna BC sign when we first meet and we’re homeless. Before our 4 kids and now owning a house! 😅 good times 🇨🇦 oh and thanks for all you do Steve!
Steve, I'm going through a VERY rough patch in my life and I gotta thank you for bringing me a small chunk of happiness with your videos. It a really odd way, I find it very calming. Thank you for taking us on your camping adventures.
Just keep on keeping on. I can’t say it will get easier, but things get more manageable. I’m coming out of a bad patch. Good luck and my hopes and thoughts are with you.
WE dont need to understand it bud, we just need to embrace it. Steve is a miracle for us all.
Hang in there!! 😟✌️🥰🇨🇦
Prayers sent for you GameMasters
I saw that picture you posted here about how you weren’t feeling too good. I hope you heal everyday. It’s not easy what you have been through but you’re in all of your followers prayers,Steve! We love you and your content!♥️
I’ve struggled with depression, you inspire me and help me. Absolute legend Steve we all love you!!
:)
Just keep at it man. Beating depression was such a life changing experience and changed for life. Dont give up man, greatness lies at the end
@@nicern_lp_rp_gtrxxx5420 I’m happy you are on the other side man and thank you for the encouragement. Thankfully in a better place and I’m getting through the aftermath! To anyone reading this, please don’t give up and use us as testament, things can get better over time.
@@iceman.46 after sorting everything out i got a feeling of happiness i have never felt before. No compound, no car no amount of money even comes close. I also have the feeling this will last a lifetime. I truly hope you will one day reach something similar man. It is what you deserve for doing through hard times
@@nicern_lp_rp_gtrxxx5420 thank you for giving inspiration and keeping the hope alive. Day by day man, I will get there!! It’s awesome people like you in these communities who help me and I’ll always try to pay it forward. Enjoy your weekend brother 🤘
Steve is like the Mr. ROGER'S of stealth camping!
His routine is soothing and each time is a little adventure.
I was thinking that earlier…..
I never would have thought I’d enjoy watching someone stealth camp so much. Keep on keeping on, Steve. We appreciate you!!
I just want to say thank you for your content….when my husband left me alone during a high risk pregnancy you and foresty Forrest got me through the hours of bed rest…I felt like I was there and didn’t cry…my now 19 month old healthy beautiful daughter and I thank you from our hearts💜
Went camping for the first time in years thanks to this guy.... love your videos Steve... stay strong king
This is awesome. I cannot tell you all the crazy assed places I’ve crashed thru decades of hitching. Church vans ( never locked) bridges, tops of buildings, inside various structures, caves, culverts, washes, a freight train caboose, a lobster boat ( the owner after a breief moment of anger took us out crabbing) on n on. Indeed brings back memories. I never actually slept behind a sign, but plotted climbing a billboard and hanging my hammock just above the hang platform…GIMMIE time. Thanks y’all!
A bad day always turns into a good one when Steve uploads
Right? Instant escape, and just a nice reminder of the simple things. I started watching him at about 16 (19 now) and have been stealth camping countless times because of him, it was something me and friends always joked about when we were little, but now I’m doing it thanks to steve:).
@@Wes0602 nice 😏
Facts. I could be having the worst day ever, by the end of a Steve video I'm smiling and happy.
Hey Steve hope you are having a better day. You bring so much entertainment to everyone and you make so many people happy. I hope reminding yourself of this makes the bad days a little less bad. Much love.
Steve is like the best human on the planet. Imagine the world if everyone was as kind, modest and considerate as Steve. We need to protect him at all cost.
Hate to think you live in a world where you think a normal nice person like most people are is a rarity.
@@HankGrill you know what he means Doug....don’t be a goober, Gober.
3/4s of the Canadian population are just like him....easily....
Thanks to you Steve! When I was a kid I imagined sleeping behind bushes or in the middle of roundabouts who has so many trees or nice bushes. Finding you doing this REAL stealth camping is amazing. Hope your soul is getting stronger every week. Thanks for this unique way to do stealth camping! Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷
Big hugs, Steve! You're an inspiration and a source of happiness for others. Thank you for being you.
My life is now a permanent stealth camp. But u guided me to have the courage over 3 years. Thankful for this channel. Btw my family always says we find random change from our relatives in heaven. My mother gives me coins all the time from beyond. Its so weird
New fan, I cannot believe I hadn't found You before now. my favourite bit is the cooking of the meal, and what you are having, although i do get hungry watching! lol. keep up the great work, and thank you!
Actually can't get over how much joy these videos bring to my day. As somebody who has a weird quirk for these little spots of seclusion you find in the vast miles of trees, and forestry, it almost takes me back to a child like state of comfort,, knowing nothing else matters outside of the spot your camping in and the nature that envelops you. Again thank you Steve, you bring so much peace and calm that this world needs more of so badly, I know your wife is beyond proud of your right now!
The noise of traffic and frogs croaking throughout the night sounds so incredibly peaceful
It is my favorite sound!
I could never sleep anywhere near traffic
The world is crazy right now…so being able to spend an evening with Steve really takes the edge off. Great to see him back out there.
❤
Honestly, seeing that you posted a video causes a warmth in my chest and makes me smile. Can't wait to see you hunker down
You give me hope. It's hard to describe how your content effects me. Your strength during unbelievable pain is beyond amazing... I would love to have a step two with you if our paths ever cross. Cheers to you!

@@Timmer-qp8sy 🤣🤣🤣
I hope you’re feeling much better, Steve. I really appreciate you still getting out there and working hard even though you’re going through a tough time. You’ve got this!
to think that i drive past these signs on the island everyday and there is a high chance that steve is behind one of them makes me happy 🙏
😂
The chances of Steve stealth camping in your area are low but never 0
Steve, I rarely ever leave youtube comments but that dialog you provided on the "Arc" of gear (Starting small, buying big, then consolidating to exactly what you need). Is so accurate! Never heard it summarized so well but this happens for so many things, it's really a sign of mastery when you get to the point where you realize you don't need every tool and it's more about your own skillset and utilizing what you need the most. Well said, thanks for your great videos!
It’s fantastic to see you out and about again Steve!!! Your videos really brighten my day!! It doesn’t matter if it’s a week between videos, or a month, I’ll always be happy when I see you’ve made another great video for us! Take care!!!
Yay! It's a great day when Steve uploads a new video!
11:51 I say the same thing when I hear sirens go by. "Godbless whoever is in trouble".
I just lost my dad and sirens coming to my house was the last thing I wanted to experience 😢. Life goes on. I'm not the first to experience loss and won't be the last.
Godbless you Steve and everyone here. Keep your head up and take life one day at a time.
The ending where Steve is running back to get the camera 😂How can you not love this guy?
Shh, it's movie magic, we're not supposed to know!
Exactly! I am so glad he left that in.
Ending was very funny it was great
Love his humour
I've been waiting for years for any youtuber to actually do that. I loved it
Steve, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that there is something so wonderful about some of these stealth camping episodes, like the sign ones or the roundabout ones. I guess it just brings out our inner child-what child never imagined hiding out in one of these places and having some adventures? Thanks so much for bringing these good feelings to so many people.
I like how Steve always cleans up other peoples' rubbish so as to leave the site better than he found it.
Completely agree. Glad someone else feels like that too.
Exactly! I know all the spots I would stealth camp today if I had the courage and equipment
When Steve drops a new video, it turns a bad day completely around. Thank you sir and I wish you the best.
This brings out such excited glee in me, it is definitely the adult version of making a little fort and “roughing it”. I have enjoyed every single upload ❤
Good to have you back Steve! We're a patient crowd so we're good with whatever works for you.
Its so good to see you back again Steve. You look great and rested. Reading through the comment section is incredibly inspiring. A true testament to how amazing you are. Be well and safe travels my friend.
I had a crappy day today. So crappy, I forgot it was Thursday. But it is Thursday, and that means a video from Steve! That always makes things better! Thanks for the video, bud! 😊
I find myself looking for places that you may be "stealth" camping! You are an amazing person and, having lost my love at age 32, I admire your honesty in dealing with daily life. You make my days brighter 😊
To recognize these kind of spots others don’t.This is a survival skill developed by most homeless people
This brought back memories of the roundabout...stellar spot, Steve. It tickles me no end how your enthusiasm for finding the right degree of stealth is so contagious to your loyal audience. Salud!
Welcome Signs - One of my favorite stealth camps! Something about it just feels so cozy and sneaky.
The best part is that if cops show up to shoo you away from the *welcome sign,* they can't do so without situational comedy.
☝️😏
Loved this classic stealth camp viewing. :-) And really get what you said about things we accumulate then realise we don’t really need. Sometimes it even holds us back. Take care Steve, and thanks for all you do for so many with your videos.
Steve! You're spot on about gear. As a music producer, over 16 years, I went from absolutely bare bones essentials all the way to my own studio room with acoustic paneling, custom desk, speaker setup, etc... Now? I'm back to the bare bones. I didn't need all that extra stuff. It's almost like you get it to be taken seriously -- to show you belong. Then, you realize it is just getting in the way!
Loving the videos. You're always such a fun watch. Best of luck!
Steve just know we watch these videos for you, not just for the 'crazy' and 'risky' content. You have such a positive perspective, and you are clearly so very empathic, to the point where you refuse to push your merch like 99% of youtubers because you don't want to pressure anyone. That's why I think "Camping with Steve" is such a fitting title for this series, because it's almost just like hanging out with a good friend that you know you would never steer you wrong. Wishing you all the best man!
You know what this remind me of? When I was like 5-7 years old, just going into the bushes or wood playing around building "camps" and just enjoying simple good fun. To honest all your videos bring me back to a simpler time a good time when I was able to enjoy the littles things like imagining that I was camping or in a fort. Thanks a lot for that
every Steve video is like making a fort lol
Hey Steve. I just wanna let you know that your such a legend! We appreciate you providing great videos for us in this tough time in your life. Just know we are all very happy with rewatching your old videos over and over 😂.
Coming back for the camera reminds me of Les Stroud! Love the video
Glad to see you're back at it and hope you're feeling all and well. Just know you and your videos are the highlight of people's day and are very much appreciated!
Steve, I hope you know you bring a lot of happiness to us viewers with your videos. You have certainly provided me entertainment when I’ve felt low. We are all here with you and support you through your journey, through all the ups and downs.
Gotta say on a trip to Campbell River these past few days I had a smile on my face as I checked off all your camping spots along the route :)
I'm sure it's been said before, but it's beyond doubt that these videos have saved lives. Some people stealth camp for fun, but as our society slowly crumbles around us, more and more people are stuck doing it because they unfortunately have no choice. This channel is a treasure trove of advice and positivity for anyone who has to sleep rough.
Dimes are a sign of a loved one passed letting you know they are watching out for you. Put it in a jar and start paying attention to more to come. ❤
@@SpeakTruth2Power4U that’s awesome. I think it helps with the grieving process that loved ones have to go through. My friend lost her husband and he was a fun man so he leaves dimes and pennies she gets a giggle from it. Sometimes he does it when we are out on an adventure day and we always smile. Thank you for sharing with me.
The zipper side bar was awesome. We've all had those small things in life happen and I really love that you captured it and gave it to us. Hope you weekend goes well Steve, until next time 🤟
1:18 "In we go"
There is something so amazingly cozy from being exposed to everyone driving by to now we are hiding in the brush. Thank you for such a unique channel.
One of the neat things about where you stealth camp is looking up exactly where it is! Always a nice map hunt! Love your content and am very glad you are keeping up with it! :D
Don't be too down on yourself Steve because these videos are doing a lot more than you think. For me they help me in so many ways you cannot believe, with the loss of my brother they help out so much. Since, this is all that he ever wanted to do camp out in the bush but up North in Fort Simpson. I love watching these videos please do not stop making videos.
Who knew the sound of a highway could be so relaxing. 😂 Thanks for the video, Steve!
You’re so right. The distant highway sounds out me to sleep 😴
There is no sweeter man alive than Steve. Such a heart warming and entertaining channel.
Hope you’re feeling a bit better, Steve! Great to see you out camping again! You take care!!❤
STEVE ON THE TRENDING LIST!!!! So happy for you, it’s been a year for you buddy your perseverance is inspiring. Thanks for bringing us in your adventures.
Steve at his best!! Stealth camping behind signs, in roundabouts, construction sites and in parking lots!! Great stuff Steve!! Always a blast to watch you pull these stunts off!! 😉👍
Hi Steve! I’m a hardworking young man who’s never been the best when it comes to outdoors time. Your videos have become a huge favorite of mine over the last few years, starting with seeing your comments on Stobe the Hobo’s (RIP Stobie) videos. You’ve inspired me to take up camping as a hobby, and your continued guile in stealth camping is really tremendous. I continue to wish you the best and thanks for the entertainment over the years!
I swear if I was an LEO I would let you stealth camp all day, the amount of positivity you bring to the community through these videos is amazing, keep doing you Steve, we love ya!
Steve, you are just so nice. You can tell comments about first responders come from the heart. One of the many likeable things about you. Plug your merch, don't feel bad, it makes you do more fantastic videos for us to watch. All the best from the UK❤
YAY, STEVE POSTED A VIDEO!!! Always great to see you, Steve. I like to end my days with your videos so I'll go to bed in a decent mood, and it never fails that I sleep a bit better after I've watched one of your new ones. Thanks for all the effort you give, you're a hell of dude.
He really is the best :)
You are amazing Steve. Thats what I always say to my daughter when we see an ambulance or fire truck. "Lord please bless whoever they are racing to."
"Whatever you do, don't do what Steve does." Gotta have THAT on a T-shirt or mug, Steve! 😄
Steve, you never fail to make my day. You are an inspiration to me and so many others. Cheers from Michigan!
Camping With Steve is always the coziest! Even the loud cars were a confort during my shower. It makes me think of all the good spots in the town I grew up in, and the town i live in now! I don't think I'd find it as comforting, but it's a comfort being here on your journeys with you! 🥰
You can watch this in your shower?
@@katrinafarmer207 yeah I have a section of my shower where water never reaches so I put my phone there lol
