WOW, that was a blast from the past. My husband was one of three who lived in Holberg and built that shack approximately 25 years ago. They hauled some of the materials in, but by the beach, not the pathway through the forest. All of the wood used was washed up. The shakes were cut by my husband. It's very weathered now and looked pretty awesome when it was new. If you'd like more information, we'd love to tell you the story. You may already know it. I didn't read all 2783 comments.
Wow, what purpose was the cabin originally built for? Personally, i'd absolutely love to hear the whole story of this place, as i am now absolutely amazed by it. Even though i live in a rather rural part of Germany, i don't think that cabin would've lasted nearly this long in our region, because 1. some bureaucrat would declare it as illegal and 2. even in the countryside, almost everything as remote and unsupervised as this gets vandalized nowadays if it isn't fenced off :(
This is something Ive done from time to time in various places since I was a teenager. I know a couple are still standing and get used a lot others had been torn down by authorities or burned down by people. Ive shown my kids a couple and have stayed in one multiple times throughout the years. My dad did the same thing Ive been to some of the sites one was collapsed another has been rebuilt by various people throughout the years.
Man its funny... lost my partner of 6 years recently. Feeling kinda lost and alone. Went to bed and opened youtube. Saw this and instantly smiled. Thank you for being you, steve!
Steve - My father passed away yesterday. One of our enjoyed activities was watching your videos. He referred to you as "that crazy Canadian who camped between the highways." This video puts a smile on my face in an otherwise dark time. I just wanted you to know that what you're doing brings joy to countless people - even when joy seems beyond attainable. Thank you, sir.
Sorry to hear about your dad. Life is sometimes so hard for us and losing loved ones is always such a hard knock to top it all off... Always remember the good times and keep the memories alive. Your dad is smiling down on you for watching the crazy canadian. Día de Muertos...
Hey Steve, I found your channel about a month ago and have watched almost every video so far. I am 28 years old and have been diagnosed with cancer for the second time in my life. I haven’t been able to walk since about mid October, but your videos makes it feel like I am right there with you. I can’t tell you how much better my days get after watching your videos. I have never commented on a UA-cam video before but I wanted to let you know how much of a difference you make in peoples lives. I am sorry for your loss but I am glad you decided to carry on. We are all in it together 👊
Good luck in your journey. I was diagnosed with cancer back in August and like you watching Steve has been a great way to distract me and focus my attention on other things. Good luck in your journey, you're not alone in fight.
@normanWarren-nq8me I wasn't sure if you were asking me what type I have or the original commenter but I'll answer lol. I have adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell mutation.
The way you signed the log book with your wife. Bought a tear to my eye. You probably don't feel like it but the way you are dealing with things is inspiring. Thanks.
I cant even begin to express how much this channel helps my depression. I can totally relate to Steve and all of the stuff he's gone through lately. Ive lost 2 husbands and both my parents. Steve's subscribers are some of the most kind and compassionate people on the Internet. I never feel alone or sad when watching his videos.❤

The idea of a communal cabin where people only add things and keep it in working condition is really cool, not worrying about theft is amazing, those Bushnell's aren't cheap. I also love the idea of the log book, each new user can see what came before them and leave their own story. The table bed is just fantastic....what a great place for an overnighter. Great episode.
In nordic countries we still have few cabins that are maintained by the states and free to use. Most in are in lapland. Slowly but steadily they are either dismanteled or turned to rentals because even world highest tax burden is not enough to keep all operational.
@@reiisthebestgirli would say waay more than a few in Norway and all over the country. though technically maintained by the norwegian tourist association and not the state.
Steve, my husband has been gone 3 months shy of 8 yrs, this is the first Christmas I didn't add his name to my Christmas cards and now that I've sent them off I'm feeling guilty. "Beautiful wife in spirit" is lovely. You and Simon (Foresty Forest) are so respectful of your camp sites. Always leaving it better than you found it, much respect for that kind of consideration.
Rest In Peace, Beautiful Wife. I can imagine her sitting next to you on that bench, looking out at the waves. As always, thank you for the amazing content, Steve. I watched this one with my husband, and savored the peaceful moments at the end of a long and busy day.
Lost my family dog today. We had her for about 15 years, but it was unfortunately time for her to pass in peace. Today was the roughest day the family and I had to deal with. But watching this video helped me a lot, especially the part about saying your wife is with you in spirit - which is something the family and I believe with our dog. Even my father was like "Oh you're watching Steve?" in a way that sounded like approval. I believe your videos help him out as well. So, as a whole family, we thank you, Steve.
I was like you. Very mellow, happy, outdoorsy and an explorer. Out of nowhere I was struck by a severe, crippling anxiety disorder. Your videos help me on the worst of days. Thank you and keep up the good work. I hope to get out into the world again.
I’m right there with you. Could do anything and then panic disorder and agoraphobia randomly struck. Sorry you deal with it too. Hope you can find yourself again.
I have no doubt you will get back out into the world. Im dealing with some heavy stress right now and anxiety seems to be kickin my butt too. I too enjoy Steves videos for that very same reason… plus he’s an exceptional dude! Any ways, hang in there and don’t be afraid to ask for help, just incase you haven’t. More power to you! 👊🏻
anxiety is a debilitating disorder. I hope you can overcome the limitations it imposes on you. learn to meditate and use it to ignore the silly voice in your head when you step outside in nature. easier said than done perhaps, but there are ways of re-establishing the trust of your instincts, your own judgement and your knowledge about the world. You can do it... one trip at a time. You can do it... anyone can. Steve is proof that the most arduous missions will most likely work out just fine if you apply your sense of environmental and self awareness. Good luck.
Sooooooo I’ve come to conclusion that everyone needs to be as mindful as you. Leave a place better than you found it. I love that you pick up after yourself, and then some.
Idk about you guys but this is my go too UA-cam channel too fall asleep too. While cozy in bed I get to pretend I’m with Steve sheltering in for the night. Your the man Steve, keep it up!
Places like these are their own kind of beauty, complete strangers sharing space at different times. Working together to make a place that can be a temporary home for anyone who needs to get away.
Steve, my boyfriend and I have been fans of yours since before even 30k subscribers. We don't go a single night without sleeping to your videos, especially when we are SUV camping. We are moving tomorrow, and having this video to sleep to is going to make our new place feel like home. Thank you for everything!
Oh my goodness, I do this also sometimes! How fun that I'm not the only one. This video will likely make my rotation because it's quiet and peaceful, just his soothing voice.
Steve so sorry for your loss. That you share your feelings is a sign that you’ll be able to deal with your loss properly with the passing of time. You are surely helping other humans with similar circumstances.
Opened the video at 123 views, made a quick meal, watched the video and noticed it's already at almost 20k views. Love how much you've blown up, Steve. You deserve it. HUNKER DOWN!
This man has been through it and back. Thank you Steve for your strength it’s hard not the same but I lost my dad at 15 to a logging accident I miss him every day he is always with me at heart thanks again
@Rustyknife1 there's just more people in the city in general, so more people to potentially vandalize things. I lived in a rural town of 1,800 people growing up and even in the most remote part of the woods, something like this would only last a couple weeks before all the windows were broken out and racial slurs were spray painted all over it. It's just the nature of asshole teenagers, not city people. One of my classmates even burned down the elementary school playground while I was in high school and bragged about it at school the next day.
RIP Jeremy Tanaka. Memorialized on the wall of this beautiful cabin and now immortalized in another Steve Wallis masterpiece video. Taken at 38 years young by a logging incident.
Gosh Steve, Your videos bring such life to this 77 year old grandmother. Loved to travel about from one adventure to another for many years but finally admitted I can't do it anymore. Hard to let go but then theres a new video from you again and all is well with my world once again. 😊 Good messages re camping with mice and rats. Please stay well.
I cannot explain how much your channel means to people. I read through the comments and so many of us are grieving the loss of our loved ones and feel an enormous sense of comfort and compassion here. Idk if you'll see my comment, but if so, I hope you know how much all of us appreciate your videos. I hope to someday be able to escape into the woods to find some peace, but for now, your channel absolutely helps.
Steve, I'm livin' in the big city and I can't get over that there are still places where property is respected and shared spaces have an honor of making things the same or better than it was on arrival. This spirit needs to travel far and wide. God bless.
I'm not even from a big city, but I would still 100% expect a place like that to be completely misused, trashed and ransacked where I live in the US. I wonder if it's more of a Canadian thing to respect free public places.
@@_Booker_DeWittin the description it says 8 hours of driving on mostly remote logging roads and a hike to get there. Being that remote and in Canada is probably the charm for keeping vandals at bay.
Doesn’t seem like a coincidence that your mother’s name was on the binocs, Steve. Not usually the superstitious type, but this place seemed especially special, with a great story behind it. Love ya Steve!
Steve, even though you've had some tough losses recently, I want you to know your videos are a highlight I look forward to every week. You bring a calm joy and spirit of natural adventure. Thanks for sharing your journeys!
Just want to say my toddler absolutely loves your videos. They're something we can enjoy and watch together. I know you never swear or show inappropriate things, and it's not a stupid obnoxious UA-cam kids thing that makes my ears bleed. Thanks for giving us a little weekly tradition of watching "Camp Steve" Friday mornings.
This episode brought back a lot of fond memories of primitive camping along the Applachian Trail. The Potomac Trail Club in Virginia manages a string of 'cabins' along the trail in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania that had the guest books, an iron stove, outhouse and spring water. Of course, these were not as primitive as this one, each one looked after by a volunteer. My favorites were the log bunk houses that housed the workers who built the parkway that ran through Shenandoah National Park. In addition to the woodstove in each cabin, there was a covered porch with a cooking fireplace, complete with iron cooking cranes. The rules were simple: No graffiti, write something about your stay in the guest log, don't leave any trash, and replenish the firewood you used. I always bought something to add to the cabin kitchen supplies, usually a set of new dish cloths and towels, and toilet paper for the privy. (The TP was kept in coffee tins to keep it away from the mice.) I just loved it!
I've been a long time fan of Camping with Steve. Never left a comment. I truly love everything you put out but this adventure.. The waves you captured in the ocean hit me! So beautiful. Thanks Steve!
Always good to see you pop up in my feed, Steve. My friend and i have been building a little cabin out in the woods nearby, we're hoping that some kids find it one day and use the place as a base for their adventures. No one has found it yet, we leave little things around to see if they get moved.
That's awesome! When I was around 12 my friends and fixed up a cabin that was on a piece of property of a lady we knew. We spent almost every weekend there for about 2 years even in the winter. Some of the best memories of my childhood. I'm sure some kids will have some fun and crazy times when they find yours.
I have spent some of the happiest days of my life at this cabin! Found it by chance about 5 years ago while exploring, glad to see its still in a good shape! thank you Steve
I would absolutely love staying in a place like that. Itd be soo fun to clean it up, make it cozy and eat and rest and just decompress from anxiety and depression. Love this location.
Steve, you are my hero for soldiering on the way you do. I cannot imagine the pain you're suffering with the loss of beautiful wife, but I feel you are honoring her tremendously by continuing your adventures as I am sure that is what she would wish for you to do. You are truly a great human being and the world is such a better place with you in it. There are lot of us who even though we've never met you, we care for you and wish you only the best. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Yup true , I lost my dad yesterday , and it’s my birthday today , tough day , and he and I did everything Steve does together , I’ll carry on without him , soldier on…
Steve man my worst nightmare has been your reality and im sorry you had to go through that. I just want to say i have respect for you for going through the stuff you have recently and still you keep on going making content not letting it destroy you and get you down. That takes a strong man, respect!!
This is my favorite kind of landscape : a pine forest ending on the shore of a rugged beach, with powerful waves and moutains in the background... As a european I've never been able to see this in real life but I hope I get to someday
I think you must have arrived at the setting for my (and many other peoples') dreams. I could just quietly sit there for the rest of my days watching the waves break on the rocks. Thank you for this! And keeping it a secret! How nice of the people who maintain this sanctuary. I'm thanking them, too.
Loved this one Steve!! 😊The cabin reminded me of the Bothies that we have in the UK, they are mostly just basic shelter's available for anyone to use free of charge. There's also a Bothy Code which to be honest you adhered to by cleaning when you left and replenished the firewood The ones in the UK are Maintained by the Mountain Bothy Association who are volunteers and do it for free. There's also normally a Bothy Book for visitors which I was hoping that there would be one there. "Leave no Trace"
I have notifications turned on for a few different UA-cam channels, and I just want to say that whenever I see that a notification is for a new video from Steve, my mood instantly lifts. Thanks Steve! My day wasn't going great but it's all good now!
I just wanted to send out my sincerest thanks to you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. I've been very sick lately and things have been really dark. Watching your videos helps because they kinda make me feel like I'm there, hanging out with a friend and I don't feel so lonely. Thanks again.
I find it crazy how no one has taken anything!? I really shows just how wonderful Canadian people are and how they treat each other. The world should be more like this.
I've stayed in a few places like this here in the States, I think the remoteness discourages people from just taking stuff, most campers who stay in places like this respect them and try and keep them up.
@@jaymelton2663 It's the remoteness for sure. The terrible people congregate in cities, usually larger urban areas. The kind of people that would trash that place are too stupid and lazy to go all the way out there.
@@sahamal_savu Ah, now that's a little harsh, speaking as someone who lived in Dallas 22 years for work. I do agree that the people who would mess with a place like this are also probably the least likely to go there, I don't think it's a "city folk" thing.
This makes me very happy. Recently moved to vancouver island and I finally feel like I'm where I should be. Looking at what people have written in the cabin I am struck by how much love there is in the world. I'm thinking if I feel that we're all worthy of love and that I'm willing to show some for everyone, and that so many other people feel the same way, even if sometimes it doesnt feel like it there really is a lot to go around. If you're reading this know that I love you. Take care.
Hi Steve! I'm just a random 22 year old woman from Texas but I just discovered your channel this week and have already watched so many videos. I love everything you do! Your videos bring me so much calmness. I hope everything is going well for you and your family, thank you for your new video! ☺️
Thank you Steve- this was such a lovely trip and video. And I didn’t have to worry about you being arrested or freezing in a culvert! Indeed, treasure every day and be thankful for each experience
Pretty dang cool spot! It was awesome you were told you about the secret haven. Jess would have LOVED this adventure. I’m proud of you Steve for keepin on the path you started together. We all love you here.
I dont really watch other people's videos in this genre, steve just brings this special blend that is so friendly and welcoming. Thanks again for the video, Steve. Its so great to be shown these spectacular places
You’ve helped me through some hard times Steve, and someday I would love to go camping with you. I love camping. Roughing it in the woods, the only thing that scares me is bears. I have black bears, and right now they’re roaming all over Massachusetts, but you have the scariest ones. I mean all bears are scary, but I’d probably have a heart attack and I wouldn’t have to play dead. 😂. But seriously I’m going through such a deep depression after many losses, my Mom’s is the hardest. Watching your videos I get out of my head for a little while. So thank you. Be safe out there.
Living in the Metro Vancouver area, we often need to remember the miracles British Columbia offers us, and Steve's adventures are a good reminder to go out and explore! Thank you, Steve.
I just discovered you, Sir, and from what i can gather, you are an optimist, are respectful, and have lost two important women in your life. My heart goes out to you. May God bless you and keep you! 💞
I caught my breath when I saw that little cabin. What an amazing creation that helps others enjoy the outdoors. It harkens back to the other very cool "junk" playground that you slept in. I love that you find these places and bring us along. I hope you have an amazing trip and find many more gems like this. Bless you Steve!!
yeah, the Edmonton junk tower, a favourite episode! just missed catching Steve as he was passing west through Ontario; we have a junk tower on an island to offer next time he passes through that this kinda reminded me of.
Steve when I used to watch your videos I was always super intrigued by what a guy could do out in the wilderness with little or nothing… but I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that we enjoy your videos as a show of strength and prosperity through difficult times. Step 2’s as always 💪
Wow, gorgeous spot. Those were some rough seas. I find it amazing how someone shares these little places with others. How thoughtful. Great video Steve. As always, great to see another one of your videos pop up. Safe camping.👍😁
Hey steve! Ive been a fan of yours for a little under a year now and seeing how strong you are regardless of losing loved ones. The holidays are hard for me right now just recently lost my grandpa and its encouraging to see you still doing what makes you and others happy, much love and stay safe! See you on the next video
can we all take a moment to appreciate, applaud and attempt to mimic Steve’s quiet activism from leave no trace to helping our unhoused communities? 👏 ❤ Hunker down dude. 🌲🐿🍄❤️
Steve, I love what you do. Specifically because you live probably hundreds or thousands of miles away from me and you go to places that I will probably never go. And you do stuff that I can’t do. When I was in my teens on into my 20s, I lived in the mountains in northern California, and got to go all kinds of deep mountainous areas, both in the summertime, and in the winter, after high school, in the summertime, I was on a fire crew. In the winners, I worked at a ski resort on Donner Summit not too many miles from Lake Tahoe. One thing that I know of was all over the mountains there in Tahoe, national Forest there are buildings, structures, or houses that are built out in the middle of nowhere and people can go and stay at them, year-round. And this building that you’re at reminds me of some of those buildings. So thank you Steve for all that you do, going on adventures so that your viewers can be on those adventures with you. Thank you bro.
Thanks for another great video Steve. I've been going through a lot of health issues lately and spend a lot of my days in the hospital and these videos always help me relax when I'm in those stressful places. Always looking forward to your next adventure. Take care buddy and hunker down.
Steve, I have to say that I am very grateful for the time you have put into your videos. Your way of being in this world captures the hearts of so many. I have read the comments on all your videos, and it is very clear the profound effect your videos have had on society. I can see that you have a deep desire to share your knowledge and adventures with the world.
I love coastlines with the pine trees, the sound of a rough surf crashing into the rocks and shore. Great place for sleeping minus the rats. Thanks for sharing this beautiful spot, Steve.
Not to be picky, but those "pine trees" are actually Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) and Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla). No "pine trees" in this ecosystem.
I JUST love it when there is something like for random people to use and visitors leave behind useful and fun things behind for others, and there is respect for not destroying or taking them. Almost gives me hope we still live in an honest society. but sadly that is too far and few in between.
I struggle to sleep on a nightly basis Steve your videos relax me and help me sleep I have been watching your videos over a couple years and I appreciate all you do
Hi Steve. I have watched your videos for a long time and found them the perfect way to relax and destress because you're such a wonderful guy. My father just passed away on Tuesday and he taught me everything i know about camping through my years in scouting. Your videos are still a blessing more now than ever to relax and remeber the good times I had camping with dad. Thank you for being a source of peace more than you know. ❤❤❤
Hey Steve! Many years ago - 26 to be exact - I went to a seaside primitive cabin in Nova Scotia with a Micmac woman I met in Digby. We hiked for a bit and her friend had built the cabin and was living there. I was only 19 and didn’t appreciate just how goddamn cool and amazing it was. Now I sure do. Thanks for jogging that memory!
WOW, that was a blast from the past. My husband was one of three who lived in Holberg and built that shack approximately 25 years ago.

The hike in is not the “boring part” Steve. It one of my favorite parts of the video. It makes me feel like I’m heading off and an adventure with you.
I agree. another outdoorsman videographer I enjoy, joe robinet films the hikes in to the locations very beautifully.
The way you signed the log book with your wife. Bought a tear to my eye. You probably don't feel like it but the way you are dealing with things is inspiring. Thanks.
This bit actually made me tear up.... Steve is an absolute trooper and brings hope to us all, nomatter what we are facing in life.
I loved that cabin when I happened upon it 10 years ago, and it's great to see it's still around and in good shape. Thanks for the tour, Steve.
where is it? sooke somewhere?
"good shape" is stretching it a bit. As soon as Steve got there and showed us the first shot of the shack, I fell in love with it.
Whaaat, I wonder how many people that cabin served over so long
please don't share where it is

In case anyone is wondering, the tub of vaseline is likely there as an anti-corrosive. I lived in a beach shack in Delaware for 20 years, and used a light coating on everything from belt buckles to doorknobs, to prevent the salt air from corroding metal surfaces. Great video, Steve!

Steve, my husband has been gone 3 months shy of 8 yrs, this is the first Christmas I didn't add his name to my Christmas cards and now that I've sent them off I'm feeling guilty. "Beautiful wife in spirit" is lovely. You and Simon (Foresty Forest) are so respectful of your camp sites. Always leaving it better than you found it, much respect for that kind of consideration.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't feel guilty about the Christmas cards, your husband still knows that you love him.
Your husband still knows u love him ,listen to your dreams he's there
Your husband would tell you not to feel guilty for a second.
that bit set me off, im not ashamed to admit.
Rest In Peace, Beautiful Wife. I can imagine her sitting next to you on that bench, looking out at the waves. As always, thank you for the amazing content, Steve. I watched this one with my husband, and savored the peaceful moments at the end of a long and busy day.
Lost my family dog today. We had her for about 15 years, but it was unfortunately time for her to pass in peace. Today was the roughest day the family and I had to deal with.
But watching this video helped me a lot, especially the part about saying your wife is with you in spirit - which is something the family and I believe with our dog. Even my father was like "Oh you're watching Steve?" in a way that sounded like approval. I believe your videos help him out as well. So, as a whole family, we thank you, Steve.
I'm sorry for your loss. :'(

I was like you. Very mellow, happy, outdoorsy and an explorer. Out of nowhere I was struck by a severe, crippling anxiety disorder. Your videos help me on the worst of days. Thank you and keep up the good work. I hope to get out into the world again.
I’m right there with you. Could do anything and then panic disorder and agoraphobia randomly struck. Sorry you deal with it too. Hope you can find yourself again.
Same along with health anxiety. Nice to hear I’m not alone.
I have no doubt you will get back out into the world. Im dealing with some heavy stress right now and anxiety seems to be kickin my butt too. I too enjoy Steves videos for that very same reason… plus he’s an exceptional dude! Any ways, hang in there and don’t be afraid to ask for help, just incase you haven’t. More power to you! 👊🏻
anxiety is a debilitating disorder. I hope you can overcome the limitations it imposes on you. learn to meditate and use it to ignore the silly voice in your head when you step outside in nature. easier said than done perhaps, but there are ways of re-establishing the trust of your instincts, your own judgement and your knowledge about the world. You can do it... one trip at a time. You can do it... anyone can. Steve is proof that the most arduous missions will most likely work out just fine if you apply your sense of environmental and self awareness. Good luck.
Try drinking
The world needs more people like Steve.
Sooooooo I’ve come to conclusion that everyone needs to be as mindful as you. Leave a place better than you found it. I love that you pick up after yourself, and then some.
Steve should release a stealth camp cook book. Everything always looks great and makes me wanna camp n' eat
Me too! In fact I'll be heading out this weekend to do just that 😁
What would you suggest as a name? Cooking with foil would be a good one
@@danielmoore2475 Cheese These Burgs. Or at least an entire chapter titled as such.
@danielmoore2475 he did some videos called cooking with Steve. He has long hair in the ones I've seen.
Step 1. Buy meal kit
lol not much of a cook book .
Another perfect Thursday evening when that notification that a new Camping with Steve video has been uploaded. Thank you Steve!
And now, we’re camping with Steve. Step 2 cracked.
Amen
Hallelujah
Couldn't agree more 😊
Tuned in late, unfortunately I'm on step 5, lol
Nice find Steve
Idk about you guys but this is my go too UA-cam channel too fall asleep too. While cozy in bed I get to pretend I’m with Steve sheltering in for the night. Your the man Steve, keep it up!
likewise =)
Places like these are their own kind of beauty, complete strangers sharing space at different times. Working together to make a place that can be a temporary home for anyone who needs to get away.
Steve, my boyfriend and I have been fans of yours since before even 30k subscribers. We don't go a single night without sleeping to your videos, especially when we are SUV camping. We are moving tomorrow, and having this video to sleep to is going to make our new place feel like home. Thank you for everything!
Oh my goodness, I do this also sometimes! How fun that I'm not the only one. This video will likely make my rotation because it's quiet and peaceful, just his soothing voice.
Steve so sorry for your loss. That you share your feelings is a sign that you’ll be able to deal with your loss properly with the passing of time. You are surely helping other humans with similar circumstances.
I think this episode may have the most beautiful scenery you have ever recorded. Great job Steve!
Those aggressive breaks at low tide!!! Wow!!!!! Gorgeous!
Opened the video at 123 views, made a quick meal, watched the video and noticed it's already at almost 20k views. Love how much you've blown up, Steve. You deserve it. HUNKER DOWN!
This man has been through it and back. Thank you Steve for your strength it’s hard not the same but I lost my dad at 15 to a logging accident I miss him every day he is always with me at heart thanks again
Man, this cabin looks absolutely magical! So nice to see that places like this can exist without being vandalized
yea the ppl that vandalize dont move to places like this :D
Vandals typically stay in the city
@@Quizzy0000 People get more honest with every mile they hike in.
@@Steve-318real.
@Rustyknife1 there's just more people in the city in general, so more people to potentially vandalize things. I lived in a rural town of 1,800 people growing up and even in the most remote part of the woods, something like this would only last a couple weeks before all the windows were broken out and racial slurs were spray painted all over it. It's just the nature of asshole teenagers, not city people. One of my classmates even burned down the elementary school playground while I was in high school and bragged about it at school the next day.
RIP Jeremy Tanaka. Memorialized on the wall of this beautiful cabin and now immortalized in another Steve Wallis masterpiece video.
Taken at 38 years young by a logging incident.
Where is his signature ?
@@nicklutes420on the wall at 11:00
And the music of the ocean soothed his soul, as she gently kissed his sleeping cheek.
This dude is an absolute gem! Gets up and splits wood for the next person and cleans up! You’re a boss mate!
Gosh Steve, Your videos bring such life to this 77 year old grandmother. Loved to travel about from one adventure to another for many years but finally admitted I can't do it anymore. Hard to let go but then theres a new video from you again and all is well with my world once again. 😊 Good messages re camping with mice and rats. Please stay well.
When I’m feeling down or lost, I think of how Steve keeps going and how he takes on life. It’s a good example to follow.
You are the Bob Ross of camping Steve ❤
I remember beautiful wife saying this
Perfect analogy. Well put
I soooooo wish your videos were longer! Seriously, I could sit here for an hour and watch your adventures feeling like only 5 minutes went by.
I cannot explain how much your channel means to people. I read through the comments and so many of us are grieving the loss of our loved ones and feel an enormous sense of comfort and compassion here. Idk if you'll see my comment, but if so, I hope you know how much all of us appreciate your videos. I hope to someday be able to escape into the woods to find some peace, but for now, your channel absolutely helps.
Thank you Steve!!!
1 for always doing your part to keeping Mother Nature clean.
2 for bringing us along on yet another epic camping experience!!
Steve, I'm livin' in the big city and I can't get over that there are still places where property is respected and shared spaces have an honor of making things the same or better than it was on arrival. This spirit needs to travel far and wide. God bless.
I'm not even from a big city, but I would still 100% expect a place like that to be completely misused, trashed and ransacked where I live in the US. I wonder if it's more of a Canadian thing to respect free public places.
@@_Booker_DeWittin the description it says 8 hours of driving on mostly remote logging roads and a hike to get there. Being that remote and in Canada is probably the charm for keeping vandals at bay.
Doesn’t seem like a coincidence that your mother’s name was on the binocs, Steve. Not usually the superstitious type, but this place seemed especially special, with a great story behind it. Love ya Steve!
Steve, even though you've had some tough losses recently, I want you to know your videos are a highlight I look forward to every week. You bring a calm joy and spirit of natural adventure. Thanks for sharing your journeys!
I think this might be one of the most charming places you've ever stayed! ❤ Thank you for bringing us along!
Hope you're looking after yourself, Steve. Thanks for all you do. You've got literal millions of people pulling for you around the world
Just want to say my toddler absolutely loves your videos. They're something we can enjoy and watch together. I know you never swear or show inappropriate things, and it's not a stupid obnoxious UA-cam kids thing that makes my ears bleed.
Thanks for giving us a little weekly tradition of watching "Camp Steve" Friday mornings.
Absolutely loving this video Steve,That camping spot is unbelievable,Definitely one of my favorite videos you’ve done,Well done Sir.
This episode brought back a lot of fond memories of primitive camping along the Applachian Trail. The Potomac Trail Club in Virginia manages a string of 'cabins' along the trail in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania that had the guest books, an iron stove, outhouse and spring water. Of course, these were not as primitive as this one, each one looked after by a volunteer. My favorites were the log bunk houses that housed the workers who built the parkway that ran through Shenandoah National Park. In addition to the woodstove in each cabin, there was a covered porch with a cooking fireplace, complete with iron cooking cranes.
The rules were simple: No graffiti, write something about your stay in the guest log, don't leave any trash, and replenish the firewood you used. I always bought something to add to the cabin kitchen supplies, usually a set of new dish cloths and towels, and toilet paper for the privy. (The TP was kept in coffee tins to keep it away from the mice.) I just loved it!
You always find cool places to go, but I think this is the coolest. Fantastic ocean views and a really neat little cottage...
I've been a long time fan of Camping with Steve.
Never left a comment.
I truly love everything you put out but this adventure..
The waves you captured in the ocean hit me!
So beautiful.
Thanks Steve!
Very cool, my Brother in law was one of the three that built it, we have not been back in many years, it is nice to see it has endured.
Is it out in BC?
Steve always leaves a place better than it was before he arrived. Thank you for all that you do!
Always good to see you pop up in my feed, Steve. My friend and i have been building a little cabin out in the woods nearby, we're hoping that some kids find it one day and use the place as a base for their adventures. No one has found it yet, we leave little things around to see if they get moved.
I’ll visit it though I’m a grown ass adult still looking for adventures in the trees! 🌲🐿🍄❤️
That's awesome! When I was around 12 my friends and fixed up a cabin that was on a piece of property of a lady we knew. We spent almost every weekend there for about 2 years even in the winter. Some of the best memories of my childhood. I'm sure some kids will have some fun and crazy times when they find yours.
Any hints? Would love to search and camp there.
Beautiful wife is missed. I hope you continue to heal. Thank you for your videos.
What a cool place! It's nice to see that people respect and help clean it up. Most places are trashed for no reason.
I have spent some of the happiest days of my life at this cabin! Found it by chance about 5 years ago while exploring, glad to see its still in a good shape! thank you Steve
What made them the happiest?
@@Dowerke2038randy is cap
@@Dowerke2038 probably mushrooms if i had to guess, along with the serenity of the place in general
I would absolutely love staying in a place like that. Itd be soo fun to clean it up, make it cozy and eat and rest and just decompress from anxiety and depression. Love this location.
Steve, you are my hero for soldiering on the way you do. I cannot imagine the pain you're suffering with the loss of beautiful wife, but I feel you are honoring her tremendously by continuing your adventures as I am sure that is what she would wish for you to do. You are truly a great human being and the world is such a better place with you in it. There are lot of us who even though we've never met you, we care for you and wish you only the best. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Yup true , I lost my dad yesterday , and it’s my birthday today , tough day , and he and I did everything Steve does together , I’ll carry on without him , soldier on…
sorry for your loss sounds like you lost your best friend just think about the good times
@@MrSpaceace1999
@@MrSpaceace1999 So sorry to hear :( You will be in my thoughts. Maybe try to watch some old Camping with Steve videos if it helps comfort you any.
Steve man my worst nightmare has been your reality and im sorry you had to go through that. I just want to say i have respect for you for going through the stuff you have recently and still you keep on going making content not letting it destroy you and get you down. That takes a strong man, respect!!
This is my favorite kind of landscape : a pine forest ending on the shore of a rugged beach, with powerful waves and moutains in the background... As a european I've never been able to see this in real life but I hope I get to someday
As a kid from the baltic-sea, it's look for me like the most likeable cozy place on mother earth. That's all you need in life i geuss 🏕 🔥
I think you must have arrived at the setting for my (and many other peoples') dreams. I could just quietly sit there for the rest of my days watching the waves break on the rocks. Thank you for this! And keeping it a secret! How nice of the people who maintain this sanctuary. I'm thanking them, too.
Thank YOU Steve for 20 seconds of perfect video. I was so happy you pointed the night camera at the beach. Stunning.
Loved this one Steve!! 😊The cabin reminded me of the Bothies that we have in the UK, they are mostly just basic shelter's available for anyone to use free of charge. There's also a Bothy Code which to be honest you adhered to by cleaning when you left and replenished the firewood The ones in the UK are Maintained by the Mountain Bothy Association who are volunteers and do it for free. There's also normally a Bothy Book for visitors which I was hoping that there would be one there. "Leave no Trace"
I have notifications turned on for a few different UA-cam channels, and I just want to say that whenever I see that a notification is for a new video from Steve, my mood instantly lifts. Thanks Steve! My day wasn't going great but it's all good now!
I just wanted to send out my sincerest thanks to you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. I've been very sick lately and things have been really dark. Watching your videos helps because they kinda make me feel like I'm there, hanging out with a friend and I don't feel so lonely. Thanks again.
Feel well soon Carol!
I hear that, I'm having the worst year of my life right now and spending time with Steve helps me get away from it all if only for a little while.
I love how environmentally conscious Steve is...in addition to all of his other awesome qualities! ❤
Environmentally conscious? Half that trash was from the cabin. Should've been taken with to the dump if so
Thanks for bringing us all along in spirit, Steve. Wishing you wholeness and healing this December.
I find it crazy how no one has taken anything!? I really shows just how wonderful Canadian people are and how they treat each other. The world should be more like this.
Yes unlike Americans
I've stayed in a few places like this here in the States, I think the remoteness discourages people from just taking stuff, most campers who stay in places like this respect them and try and keep them up.
It's a specific type of person who doesn't take.
@@jaymelton2663 It's the remoteness for sure. The terrible people congregate in cities, usually larger urban areas. The kind of people that would trash that place are too stupid and lazy to go all the way out there.
@@sahamal_savu Ah, now that's a little harsh, speaking as someone who lived in Dallas 22 years for work. I do agree that the people who would mess with a place like this are also probably the least likely to go there, I don't think it's a "city folk" thing.
This makes me very happy. Recently moved to vancouver island and I finally feel like I'm where I should be. Looking at what people have written in the cabin I am struck by how much love there is in the world. I'm thinking if I feel that we're all worthy of love and that I'm willing to show some for everyone, and that so many other people feel the same way, even if sometimes it doesnt feel like it there really is a lot to go around. If you're reading this know that I love you. Take care.
Always leaving the place nicer than it was...that's our Steve❤
Hi Steve! I'm just a random 22 year old woman from Texas but I just discovered your channel this week and have already watched so many videos. I love everything you do! Your videos bring me so much calmness. I hope everything is going well for you and your family, thank you for your new video! ☺️
What part of Texas? Wish there was cool shacks around here like that, but we got big bugs and nasty snakes here in Texas lol
Thank you Steve- this was such a lovely trip and video. And I didn’t have to worry about you being arrested or freezing in a culvert! Indeed, treasure every day and be thankful for each experience
Pretty dang cool spot! It was awesome you were told you about the secret haven. Jess would have LOVED this adventure. I’m proud of you Steve for keepin on the path you started together. We all love you here.
I dont really watch other people's videos in this genre, steve just brings this special blend that is so friendly and welcoming.
Thanks again for the video, Steve. Its so great to be shown these spectacular places
Heck of a view! BEAUTIFUL!!
You’ve helped me through some hard times Steve, and someday I would love to go camping with you. I love camping. Roughing it in the woods, the only thing that scares me is bears. I have black bears, and right now they’re roaming all over Massachusetts, but you have the scariest ones. I mean all bears are scary, but I’d probably have a heart attack and I wouldn’t have to play dead. 😂. But seriously I’m going through such a deep depression after many losses, my Mom’s is the hardest. Watching your videos I get out of my head for a little while. So thank you. Be safe out there.
My sincere condolences friend. One day at a time, you are not alone.
What a stunningly beautiful place! Thanks, Steve, for taking us along.
His little firewood spatula lol…improvisation, love it 👍☺️
Living in the Metro Vancouver area, we often need to remember the miracles British Columbia offers us, and Steve's adventures are a good reminder to go out and explore! Thank you, Steve.
Nice old cabin, great to see you out camping. Not every video needs to be a stealth camp, hidden places like this are great.
I just discovered you, Sir, and from what i can gather, you are an optimist, are respectful, and have lost two important women in your life. My heart goes out to you. May God bless you and keep you! 💞
I love that this cabin exists in the world. Thanks again Steve for the IRL magic.
I caught my breath when I saw that little cabin. What an amazing creation that helps others enjoy the outdoors. It harkens back to the other very cool "junk" playground that you slept in. I love that you find these places and bring us along. I hope you have an amazing trip and find many more gems like this. Bless you Steve!!
yeah, the Edmonton junk tower, a favourite episode! just missed catching Steve as he was passing west through Ontario; we have a junk tower on an island to offer next time he passes through that this kinda reminded me of.
Steve when I used to watch your videos I was always super intrigued by what a guy could do out in the wilderness with little or nothing… but I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that we enjoy your videos as a show of strength and prosperity through difficult times. Step 2’s as always 💪
life has been rough lately for alot of us in the world, just feel like your content is honest and calming. never change Steve you are the best of us
Wow, gorgeous spot. Those were some rough seas. I find it amazing how someone shares these little places with others. How thoughtful. Great video Steve. As always, great to see another one of your videos pop up. Safe camping.👍😁
Hey steve! Ive been a fan of yours for a little under a year now and seeing how strong you are regardless of losing loved ones. The holidays are hard for me right now just recently lost my grandpa and its encouraging to see you still doing what makes you and others happy, much love and stay safe! See you on the next video
My day just got better hearing “ welcome to camping with Steve”
Mine too 😁
can we all take a moment to appreciate, applaud and attempt to mimic Steve’s quiet activism from leave no trace to helping our unhoused communities? 👏 ❤ Hunker down dude. 🌲🐿🍄❤️
Steve, I love what you do. Specifically because you live probably hundreds or thousands of miles away from me and you go to places that I will probably never go. And you do stuff that I can’t do. When I was in my teens on into my 20s, I lived in the mountains in northern California, and got to go all kinds of deep mountainous areas, both in the summertime, and in the winter, after high school, in the summertime, I was on a fire crew. In the winners, I worked at a ski resort on Donner Summit not too many miles from Lake Tahoe.
One thing that I know of was all over the mountains there in Tahoe, national Forest there are buildings, structures, or houses that are built out in the middle of nowhere and people can go and stay at them, year-round. And this building that you’re at reminds me of some of those buildings. So thank you Steve for all that you do, going on adventures so that your viewers can be on those adventures with you. Thank you bro.
Thanks for another great video Steve. I've been going through a lot of health issues lately and spend a lot of my days in the hospital and these videos always help me relax when I'm in those stressful places. Always looking forward to your next adventure. Take care buddy and hunker down.
Yay, it's Steve!🎉 Always makes the day/week better 😊. Great find, very cool stuff inside to explore. Love the guest logbook. Cheers 🍻
Steve, I have to say that I am very grateful for the time you have put into your videos. Your way of being in this world captures the hearts of so many. I have read the comments on all your videos, and it is very clear the profound effect your videos have had on society. I can see that you have a deep desire to share your knowledge and adventures with the world.
All of our love and best wishes to you and your support crew, Steve. Doesn’t get any better than this.
I love coastlines with the pine trees, the sound of a rough surf crashing into the rocks and shore. Great place for sleeping minus the rats. Thanks for sharing this beautiful spot, Steve.
Not to be picky, but those "pine trees" are actually Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) and Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla). No "pine trees" in this ecosystem.
It's so nice that there can be so much stuff, a set of quality binoculars and a guitar in that shed without anything being taken.
What an amazing space! That little cabin and that view...AMAZING! Cheers, and thank you for sharing that experience with us Steve!
I JUST love it when there is something like for random people to use and visitors leave behind useful and fun things behind for others, and there is respect for not destroying or taking them. Almost gives me hope we still live in an honest society. but sadly that is too far and few in between.
I struggle to sleep on a nightly basis Steve your videos relax me and help me sleep I have been watching your videos over a couple years and I appreciate all you do
Hi Steve. I have watched your videos for a long time and found them the perfect way to relax and destress because you're such a wonderful guy. My father just passed away on Tuesday and he taught me everything i know about camping through my years in scouting. Your videos are still a blessing more now than ever to relax and remeber the good times I had camping with dad. Thank you for being a source of peace more than you know. ❤❤❤
These kind of videos are my absolute favorite Steve. So happy that you're here with us. Makes me feel like I'm there with ya!
Hey Steve! Many years ago - 26 to be exact - I went to a seaside primitive cabin in Nova Scotia with a Micmac woman I met in Digby. We hiked for a bit and her friend had built the cabin and was living there. I was only 19 and didn’t appreciate just how goddamn cool and amazing it was. Now I sure do. Thanks for jogging that memory!
Wow! what a spectacular place! I love that old cabin. Even nicer than that other cabin a few months ago! Thanks for sharing!
