Stealth Camping In Garbage Castle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This week I went camping in a beautiful garbage sculpture in Lethbridge Alberta known as The Thing, Rust Rock Cathedral, or simply Garbage Castle. I had to be a little stealthy as I wasn't sure of the actual laws regarding camping in the city river valley. Set up camp as usual and had a reasonably good sleep hunkered down under the stars.

Big shout out to Mat F for letting me know this place existed! I mentioned him in the first two takes of the intro, but forgot in the one that made it to the edit.
congrats on 500K Steve! Keep it up!!!
Nice work Steve. It's pretty amazing to see you hit 500k.
Congrats on 500k. I'm toasting a step 2 for many more. Go get'em steve.
I'm just glad you made it back to see it. The video and making the full night of stealth camping was the cherry on top. Congrats on 500k!
congrats on 500,000 subs!
The best channel on UA-cam. No clickbait or annoying idiots, just a likable Canadian guy camping in random places.
True...though I still wish he'd just throw in a scantily dressed hottie as his thumbnail! Just for the heck of it
Besides Steve if you want to watch just a good fun camping video check out Matthew Posa and his dog Monty, and their camping adventures. He doesn’t do stealth camping, but he has done some bushcraft. we’re not talking bear Grylls level, more like the level that the average person could do. his dog Monty, A beautiful Collie is such a character, and just loves being out with his human, I have never seen a dog so happy, to just settle down, curl up and ride in the back of a canoe if they do any lakeside camping. hot, cold, being massacred by flies and mosquitoes, Matthew is out there for us, just like Steve is.
Another down to earth camping channel is Nicholas Green Outdoors. He’s just an nice kid who loves camping.
Channels like this is why I come to UA-cam for my entertainment.
@@oinkooink ofcourse I do.
I watch Steve every week sometimes TWICE.
Steve Wallis, unintentional philosopher, polite scofflaw, practical environmentalist, and all around good citizen.
Not to mention respectable drinker of step two's
And a French chef. That's a mirepoix!
@@lukehahn4489Gosh I love some mirepoix simmering in extra virgin olive oil with bouquet garni!
Steve drinking scotch in a pile of garbage: "Doesn't get any better than this"
😆
Golden!
lol....
Nothing like sipping a decent single malt atop a refuse pile.
Steve took to that like a duck to water 😂
It is refreshing to see we subscribers all have the collective attention span to enjoy an amiable Canadian scofflaw stealth camping, fixing his simple meals, step twoing, and narrating his simple adventures with his melodious timbre.
TBH I'm not really 100% sure what you just said , but , I concur with the parts I do understand haha 😂😂😂😂😂
Ive been binge-watching Steve for several weeks and accidentally clicked on another camper guy video and I just gotta say, Im so spoiled on Steve's original, witty, on-the-fly instant classic hilarious monitone matter-of-fact delivery. These other dudes are blatantly pathetic by comparison. I subscribed to Steve long ago & never cease to be entertained by his realism. Thank you, Steve. Keep it up!
Thanks!!
Me to , hahaha
Right! Same here..it's so entertaining!
Mav brought me here. His style is much the same and they are friends. Maybe check him out.
Steve is great! The only other camping channel that comes is grizzly gaz! He's a stealth camping in England and is hilarious and has some crazy encounters on his trips! Def worth a look for anyone who enjoys Steve's channel as much as I do 👍
"Canadian vandalism" had me laughing hard. Not even 5 minutes in. Love your humor, Steve!
Love that it was a nice little heart.
Also, that painting at 1:03 😁
im glad i wasnt the only one who thought that was funny
Rock lover. 😀
"I'll be able to see if someone is coming for miles... Ooh, someone is here." Classic. Love the channel Steve, keep making content.
lmao
Drinking neat whiskey stood outside on top of a heap of garbage.
"It doesn't get any better than this."
His attitude to life is brilliant
The glass was a great touch.
I cracked up over that remark
Gotta be a first on UA-cam!
I had to laugh when Steve said this, because it's so true. Imminent 500K subscribers as he camps in a heap of garbage. My life isn't that good, yet. :)
Steve always looks so guilty when folks show up during his stealth adventures.
8:41 LOL
@@mirandacosgrove472 He's like a meerkat 😭😂
He’s got that “O Shit” look.
People coming up and seeing some guy getting comfortable who smells of scotch 😂
@@ytreece I love when the second group comes up you can really see the whites of his eyes LOL
This dude is worried about leaving garbage in the garbage fort. What a legend.
If only more people were like that, maybe our planet would be in better shape.
That’s funny 😅😂🤣😂🤣
Most Canadian thing ever~
Coulda just added to the structure..
And he acted like taking trash was criminal. Legend
The face Steve makes when he is paranoid is one of the highlights of he’s videos😂
He knows.
Lol exactly . Love it !
“What kind of content do you enjoy?”
“IDK, I mostly watch this nice Canadian guy stealth camp in a garbage castle...”
Lol, had a similar thought right after clicking play on this one.
Awesome 😎
Well said 👍😎
Spot on.
“I see you’re a man of culture as well”
Steve drinking Scotch out of a carafe surveys his castle of trash. “It doesn’t get any better than this”.🤣🤣🤣
Yep that was the best part lol
Steve drinking fine scotch from brandy snifter while surrounded by a literal pile of garbage and creepy dolls heads is the content I never knew I needed.
I scrolled down into the comments to see if anyone noticed the scotch in a brandy snifter besides me. Gonna pour myself a glass on Christian Brothers VS brandy, and finish the video.
Saying- it doesnt get better than this. What a hero.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate that he is standing in the middle of a trash sculpture as he says, "It doesn't get any better than this."
😆
Lol later on when he's eating, he looks up at the sky and says "this is the life" lol it's definitely a freeing feeling to go camping but it just looks funny when he's sittin in trash 😂
"Are you camping out here?"
"No, just standing around here with my beef broth and backpack."
"Snappy answers to stupid questions"....lol!
just needed safe place to eat, from bears
Can't believe there are half a million people who love this channel as much as I do. Cheers to reaching this milestone Steve! Heres to half a million more!
Say what you may, but in addition to just being a nice guy, Steve has a good ethic to leave a place better than how he found it. Kudos, Steve
9:09 imagine stumbling across this and a random dude comes out of the corner. Like, "hey this is pretty neat eh?"
That moment was so funny
Vendor NPCs be like...
@Dr. Computer Shop Steve has Step Twos if you have Coin, Yesss o.o
I thought that part was hilarious too
Hey welcome to the open house let me give you a tour around
Let’s get Steve to 1MIL subscribers by the end of 2021! He deserves it.
1.57 M 8/24
Congrats on 500k subscribers, Steve! You are polite, neat, quiet and take more trash away with you... I’d think park rangers would be happy to see you there.
Well, at least you'll have those dolls to keep you company tonight. That's not terrifying or anything 😂
Hahaha! I'm sure by firelight they look a lot less scary.
KA -REEEEPY.....!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha right I’m sure they look lovely in the dark😵 not creepy at all (sike) I’d be terrified sleeping there know there are quite a few dismembered dolls in the structure I’m sleeping in😂🤣 that’s what makes them super creepy is they are dismembered at least I think 🤔
If I were the artist, I would have hidden tiny speakers throughout the structure that every once in a great while play a voice saying a short sentence, or maybe giggling. Short enough and soft enough to where people wouldn't be sure if they actually heard something. 😋
Steve is so human and always makes me laugh when people show up and he gives his paranoid face.Especially while videoing for 500 thousand viewers.I love his camping recipes his little drink time and all round humility.Highly enjoyable.
The Neighbor is Crazy.
The Wife is Beautiful.
But Steve is always Steve.
Crazy beautiful Steve
@@sgtpepper6379 Hey! Hunker down! ;-)
the down is hunkered
@@sandstorm8406 Agreed! I want one!
"But Steve is always camping"
I love how Steve thinks he is committing these huge crimes. I just love Steve period. Keep up the great videos dude.
Yes I wish I was living on the edge like Steve
He's Canadian. Aka guilty conscience! Lol
Imagine running into Steve not knowing about his channel? They are gonna go home, watch an episode and be hooked, wishing they had a step 2 with him. I know I would.
Lets get this man 500k subscribers!
"This is the life" not something that you would expect to hear from anyone hanging out in a trash castle, but then agian Steve is not just anyone. Truly an original. Congrats on 500k subs. 👊✌
Steve being classy enough to bring a glass for his scotch is life goals
Pretending to be homeless while standing on a pile of trash whilst sipping scotch out a glass 🤣 Steve is truly 1 of a kind
Golden rule of drinking: If you're drinking from a glass, you're not an alcoholic 🍻
@@321findus what about a glass bottle?
please bring a tumbler for scotch next time. haha
celebrating a little, , " leave it to Steve, keeping it real, not smart to go overboard while sleeping in trash sculpture, ,
Hey mate my son in law helped design and build that structure. Thanks for making it famous.
Steve: I have been watching you for a while and I have to say " this episode is the best I have ever seen". If I was not already subscribed this would have done it for me. Thank you, your wife for supporting you, and your crazy neighbor. I wish you a million views. I laugh and enjoy you more than I can ever express. You are unique. Best wishes from a 72 year old woman from New Mexico.
Totally agree 💕✌️🇨🇦
Another New Mexican here!
You are an aspiration. So respectful of your surroundings while giving all us a great show.
Steve may be camping in garbage but this channel is an absolute treasure
You know what they say, one mans trash, is another mans treasure.
FACTS!!!
Steve gets busted. The cops: "Excuse me sir, but you can't... Oh, hey Steve!"
“ oh, hey, Steve... can I have your autograph? ... on my “hunker down” T-shirt?”
Imagine it’s just crazy neighbour in his daytime job as a cop
Tazers just say "click click click"
😂😂😂
Me: I can't sleep unless I'm in my bed, had a glass of warm milk, and maybe 2 straight hours of tossing and turning.
Steve: Today I'm going to stealth camp in a pile of garbage.
You need more step 2's
Pull yourself together Man 🤔
This video is the exact opposite of "hot garbage".
#jakish
If you toss and turn for two hours before you sleep I suggest you get a new mattress
A glass of warm milk?? How about a warm glass of shut the hell up!!!
FYI I'm not being mean, from happy Gilmore.
As of this viewing you just hit 1.4 Million, congrats Steve!
Very exciting, thank you, my friend :)
Steve eating soup standing on a pile of garbage: “This is the life!”
Ol' Irish Proverb: "Happy is the man who finds his work". Steve has succeeded spectacularly in this regard.
Mucho respect my Canuk amigo.
I remember the day I subscribed. It was because Steve said 25 minutes into the video "if you made it this far into the video, you might as well subscribe".
I think I subscribed after the stealth camp in his truck at Walmart
Indeed. That was a huge sell point.
I remember that episode.
I subbed when he did the airport parking lot in his car.
Great anecdote
This is one of the most original unique channels on UA-cam!! Seriously great job on sharing with us all!
I'm cleaning my Kitchen while he camps at the Garbage Castle😀
👍 to the Step Two Crew.
IF the Parks Department was smart they would make Steve an Ambassador and let him camp, what a great way to promote the Canadian outdoors.
I always wait for the "it doesn't get any better than this" and lol everytime 😆
"its campbells, spared no expense today" made me lol.
Rest in peace Beautiful Wife Jess. Forever in our thoughts.
Think I saw a trader in Fallout with that thing packed on its back. Good spot indeed for a touch or two of scotch.
+1 Strength, 1+ Charisma, -2 Intelligence.
Steve is now addicted to Scotch.
Nah, that was a Super Mutant Behemoth.
I was homeless most of my early life and Bethesda and Obsidian really dont understand how real humans build shelters out of found items.
Also DO NOT Get me started on "pipe weapons" x(
@@grayeaglej I don't think your experience and being homeless after a fallout is the same no offense
@@acejoker6129 No offense taken. Its not a one to one comparison exactly, but there are far more similarities than differences.
Our best examples of living in post nuclear environments come from Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Fukushima, and Chernoble. All of which had large homeless populations immediately after thier various incidents and continuing to this day.
Other good metrics are forest fires and Volcanic eruptions.
Finding/Building Shelter is nearly identical. Keeping out Fallout, Dust, Ash, Cold, Smoke, Heat, Bugs, other People, Animals, Rain, Snow, etc etc.
Without shelter of some sort you can die in minutes to hours, and so it takes priority. You are also limited to what you can steal/scavenge. Abandoned buildings are not as great as people think. Mold can be just as deadly as Beta Particles. :/
Uncontaminated Food and Water are next. There is no place in the world anymore with surface water clean enough to drink without boiling and filtering.
Even if you are in a town/city and can get water from the municipal system that is no guarantee.
Tapping into a sprinkler system is a sure way to get cholera or dysentery for instance. Good chance of tetanus too :/
Food is harder than water but not impossible. Fishing n hunting are already problematic because of parasites but thoroughly cooking helps some. However heavy metals from agriculture are just as pernicious as isotopes from Fallout. We know this not only because of the previously mentioned incidents, but because all the testing in the 50s n 60s spread Fallout all over the midwest US putting these isotopes into the wheat, corn, soy, cows, pigs, chickens, etc that we have been eating ever since. Its detectable in our bones. O.o
Eating out of dumpsters n garbage sucks, you have to do it sometimes.
Finding some way to buy food or trade for it is how most people prefer to do it though.
Hygiene. The image of the stinking filthy homeless person come from those that have severe mental and drug problems. People like that dont live long.
Just like in a post-nuclear situation living on the streets people still make an effort to stay clean, for a multitude of reasons.
Health for one, avoiding rashes, infections, and bugs when medical treatment is unavailable is extremely important.
Comfort of course.
Presentation if looking for work or other social situations. There are lots of homeless people who still hold jobs and so try to maintain thier Hygiene and appearance.
So long story longer, people tend to underestimate what people left to thier own resources, even in extremely dire circumstances, are capable of, and they tend to Overestimate just how bad the aftereffects of certain situations would be. O.o
THEM: "No one would ever camp inside a pile of garbage."
STEVE: "Hold my step two..."
Last place anyone would look😉
I watch Corporal's Corner, on his last episode instead of bushcrafting a shelter from natural materials, he made a shelter with plastic shrink wrap, I commented "Hold my step two. -Steve Wallis".
Also, Corporal liked the comment, so I'm assuming he got it and watches Steve, and was inspired perhaps.
This comment '
Love how when Steve gets "busted" he just makes some friends and it's not a problem.
Steve, thanks for these videos, they are a welcomed break from the stresses of living in the COVID world. You are much appreciated !!!
i live a simple life. i see a stealth camp video, i click.
If you're ever having a bad day, watch Camping With Steve, I promise you won't be disappointed ❤️💙
Absolutely! Instant mood change when I see a new video.
facts of life
Me too been dealing with a lot lately. These are my sanctuary. I snuggle up in bed and watch these videos and pretend I’m camping with steve.
@@Iam_be_ezy Sounds peaceful. Hope things get better for ya ✌️
@@RolandJernts thank you friend! Hope you have a great weekend ahead
Steve, my husband’s first words to me after work yesterday: “Has Steve posted yet?”
my wife would hit me and my only response would be "well, did he?".... and then trying to dodge whatever she throws at me
“doesn’t get any better than this” my favorite line been say for years... congrats on 500k+ happy to be in there
The day you hit a million is going to be so awesome. It's so great to see people who have had real struggles and come from nothing become wealthy and popular just for being a wholesome human that brings joy to others. Really happy for you and your family Steve. 🤝
2 dudes came by on their bikes to their favorite spot to smoke some pot... Couldn't because Steve camping out.. LOL
Haha, we’re just all trying to hide from each other
@@campingwithsteve Thanks for your videos Steve, look forward to them every Thursday...
@@campingwithsteve ain't that the truth!!
Hahahaha, exactly what I was thinking.. Some poor poor dudes just came to blaze and there is Steve busy cooking a 3 part meal.. Lol..
@@ivanjdrakov1957 wouldn't of surprised me if they all blazed together off camera..
Everybody else while hanging out in a Garbage Castle and people are approaching: "Quick, hide the booze!"
Steve while hanging out in a Garbage Castle and people are approaching: "Quick, hide the broth!"
Man, Steve's celebrating coming up on half a million subs in this video and now in February 2022 he's over 800k. I'm glad so many folks are finding his channel and sticking around!
Steve: camps in a highly patrolled and tourist dense castle of trash
Also Steve: if that wasn't good enough to get you to subscribe I'll try even harder next week
I can't wait to see the next crazy adventure Steve
One man's trash is another man's treasure. Always taking it to the next level. Never get tired of watching your channel. Not only entertaining, but inspiring. Closing in on 500k subs, and thats no accident. My favorite content creator by far.
The best part is how innate it is. Steve’s charm is irresistible.
Dude you camped in a storm drain, you totally deserve to have 500,000 subscribers
More than a few of is have wondered.... yeah, that could work; now we know what can go wrong! Thanks Steve!
Not to mention camping in a pile of garbage now!
Steve I love you and your channel. My 5 year old daughter and I enjoy watching your videos every week. I think it's kinda cool that creepy, freaky things that happen when you hunker down never seem to ever bother you. You always man up and make a video. Much love man.
The most deserved 500k on youTube soon to be 1 million you and exploring abandoned mines, and dan Hurd are the most wholesome channels on UA-cam
I’m literally stealth camping right now in a public park watching one of Steve’s videos. HAHA
Have a good night man, stay warm
I hope you had a step 2 or 3 or 4
Lol nice
Van stealthing here!
Enjoy it, bruv!
The haircut. The scotch. The glass... The more artsy than garbagey fort.... I'm getting suspicious. 🙃
Great video
@@skinnflint lol.
He the most interesting man in the world!!! Lol
I like it when you say 'We'll be eating in no time'. Makes the viewers really feel part of your adventure!!!!
I cooked up some food while watching these videos, stealthily of course while disguised as a "roommate" to camp out undetected in my living quarters ;-) 1000%
This dude is a legend - just the other day he was under the street in a drainage ditch and now he’s camping inside a ball of rusty wire.
Mav where you at Steve is crushing the game
Now I think of Steve every time I pass a culvert
As a fan of both Steve and Mav, Mav recently passed Steve on subscribers. He had a huge boom recently. They both deserve high amounts of subscribers.
Half hour of Barney Rubble going camping
I love it
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
we're in barney. Barney rubble. TROUBLE. Best black actor of our time. Told that flat-assed captain marvel actress not to touch him during an interview. 'Don't touch me. I told you before not to touch me.'
Man he can really give you an appreciation for the simple things
A lot of sadness in the last year, but Steve,, we are so glad you are still here, all 1.57 M of us!
Howdy, Steve! Another great idea and great video. I can always count on you to make my day just a little better. You probably know this, but I think you have the most amazing fan base! The comment section is always so uplifting. Thank you for doing what you do and just being yourself.
We've made it campers!! 500k! cheers for another 500k for 1million! Let's go!
"The artist used alot of dolls.." lmao. Steve's subtle humor is second to none 🤣
I have a feeling those doll heads turn at night
Dolls are used a lot as props by dereliction photographers. Some photographers bring them along on a shoot. None haunted AFAIK.
I live vicariously through you! My camping days are over and I miss it so much! Congrats on reaching 500K!!
You're honestly the camping Bob Ross and makes me even more proud to be Canadian
He makes me want to visit Canada.
I say steve1989
I live in the city where Bob Ross recorded all of his show
Most people like to go out and party. Me? I like staying at home watching Steve Wallis videos.
Steve is a very unusual character, he does stuff the rest of us just wonder about. Very informative and entertaining. Thanks Steve
This man is doing God's work taking us to all these amazing places. I dub Steve the king of trash castle! May the whiskey and hops be with you my friend!
I just want you to know, your fan base is at the point to where it won’t stop growing since you’ve reached 500k.. the sky is the limit now, my friend. Been loving these videos since around 20k subscribers or so. The future is brining you many things!!!
Edit: I miss the ice fishing tent setup 😂
"Stealth Camping In Garbage Castle" Appears on my feed, well looks like I'm not doing any work for 30 minutes then.
Same!
The day the earth stood still😃
Man I gotta tell you that this is the by far the best video about stealth camping in a garbage sculpture ever.
“Doesn’t get any better than this” - my motto as I watch your videos nightly. It really doesn’t get any better 💯 love your videos, old and new. They’re all beautiful
Officially Over 500K, Congrats Steve!
Right when I think you may have run out of epic campsites... You pull this masterpiece out of your repertoire. You never disappoint Steve! 🙏🏼🤣
Steve acts like he's doing drugs when he's cooking and ppl walk up 😆
Itd be more normal if he was
I don't trust joggers.... they're always finding bodies. 😆 Great video as always. Found this channel a couple of weeks ago and it's been great!!
Bike riders to their friends: “Yo we saw Steve stealth camping in the garbage castle! Yea he was playing it off like he wasn’t but I recognized him, the dudes a legend!”
Steve is the best. Crazy neighbors and Beautiful Wife's help as well. Cheers
Congratulations Steve! Half a million subscribers is no easy feat! Added bonus: Camping with Steve subscribers are the most loyal!! 👍👍
I watched lots of steve's videos and loved it. And this is the first time I write a comment because I enjoyed a lot especially when people come to the garbage castle thing when steve is preparing food.
Great job brother. take care always watching from Philippines.❤️🇵🇭
So close to 500k im glad I've stuck around to see Steve and the channel grow so much.
Impressive Steve! Not that you’ve made the death climb up the hill or didn’t get caught or that you’ve made another tasty stealth meal wasn’t. It was that you were able to sleep with all them dolls staring at you. Staring. All. Night.
Congrats on the pending 500k subs!!!
Park Ranger comes up, sees the camera, turns and sees Steve, then back to the camera and says: "Now I'm camping with Steve" :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steve is captivating to watch, keeps my attention and love his humor. This kind of shit would normally bore me. I get the impression Steve lived like this for real when he was younger, homeless and constantly on guard. Now with his advancing wisdom and age, he goes back for the fun of it. I salute you.
Love this guy! He really knows how to enjoy the simple things in life. I’m literally addicted to his videos. Never disappointed.
Just tried to explain to my wife that "This week Steve's camping in a garbage castle and drinking The MacAllen 12 as his step 2." She thought I was having a stroke.
Spy code
you were.... a stroke of genius! :)
I hope someday soon, she will better see the world Steve's in thru ur perspective, ,
I was trying to explain it to my husband. I told him about beautiful wife and crazy neighbor too. He now thinks he should have a UA-cam channel because he says he has Steve beat; he has a crazy neighbor (female though) and his beautiful wife is also a bit crazy. I'm not offended, just looking forward to some step 2's though I prefer Glen Fiddich or Glenlivet. Either way it is hard to go wrong with a good scotch and stars overhead
You know what they say, one man's trash is another Steve campsite:)
Great video!!!
I like you Steve. Makes me want to make my own adventures, camp in wilderness and enjoy step 2. I live in Finland and I know a lot of great places I could go to camp. I have not been camping in 18 years when I was 10 years-old. I've recently found you on UA-cam and it makes me smile when I watch your videos. I might start looking for tent or a day I would go on an adventure of my own. I could borrow equipment from my dad. WOW you are amazing. I don't know if you are reading this but I like your videos a lot and you are the one that is pushing me to the direction of making my on trip to places or just to adventure sleeping outside. I've been really eager to start uploading videos on UA-cam but I haven't found the way or type of videos I would like to upload. You inspire me Steve. Keep up the good work. :)
Do it! Do it now!
Legend. I am so glad I found this channel. My girlfriend and I live in Wisconsin USA and are getting into camping. Camping with Steve is a favorite of ours. Be safe and hunker down!
Live in WI too. Enjoy. See you out.
I love the hockey stick at the top , a badge of Canada flying high 🏒
All that’s missing is a Canadian flag on the hockey stick
Congratulations Steve, from a drainage pipe to a castle. Really moving up in the world!
Steve your camping adventures/ stealth are so enjoyable. they bring plenty of fun and humor. i've only had the chance to see your channel for a short time, but it is truly a gem. thanx's alot
