- Опубліковано 31 жов 2018
- Tent camping in Elk Island National Park outside of Edmonton during October. Cooking Hungarian goulash for dinner on the wood stove. Lots of Buffalo (Bison) here and I got some on film. Hiking and photographing some beaver dams, and other wildlife.

I want to address the question of why I watch a guy camping in the woods every night...it's because I wish I were camping in the woods every night! I live vicariously through you..thanks Steve!
It's totally normal. I'm rewatching 🤫
Big facts lol
Thaaaaannnnnks, Lori.
Your among friends, here. You are safe here. :)
Keep coming back, it works if you work it! :)
I live through Steve myself.
My Mom who passed on Dec 10th 2020, would cook Kraft mac & cheese. When we had left overs in the olden days, I was born in 1960. She would add tomato sauce and Italian seasoning to her Goulash. It sure tasted good to me.
I want to thank the people who got the t-shirts, “I know they are expensive, that’s why I haven’t gotten mine yet”.... Holy crap, how brutally humble !!
HAHAHA "every video's the same, I'm just in a tent cooking food!" Now that you mention it, it's true! Guess it must be your sparkling personality! You do have a very good nature, it's fun to watch someone enjoy the great outdoors in what a lot of us consider to be crappy or dark or cold conditions. Your good humour and spirit are half the fun of your channel.
montyollie Maby you have a idea for his channel. “Steve’s camping foods” 😁
And he always forgets one thing.lol
Very well said.
Hay Steve I'm 44 and suffer with anxiety and I find your video's relaxing your video's have become a regular part of my night time routine so just want to say thanks really and keep these video's coming
Me too!!! His videos help me relax at night and take my mind off all the crazy stuff going on in the world!!
We love you Steve you have no idea how much you help people!!
Once I'm done watching vids, I like to just listen to them.
Very relaxing, such a calm style
I'm sorry bro, but your not "suffering" its not life threatening I have really bad anxiety and social anxiety aswell grow tf up dawg 😂😂😂
I watch his videos also to calm down before I go to bed ,they are very relaxing.
steve is like the friend that makes you want to act like your best self
I never met him except through the videos but I talk about him to my wife like he's my best friend I find that weird but he's the kind of guy that you feel like you knew for your whole life
Please dont worry about trying to fill out the content with new things, I can only speak for myself, but seeing someone doing something they love, and just talking and cooking is perfectly fine to me. Keep doing what your doing man.
I agree!!! Steve you're the best and just keep on keeping on buddy!!
Agree with this! I love the simplicity. Almost 100% of content today is forced and Steve is himself. No front, no show, no act and that's why I'm watching every video I can lol
It takes a unique human to convey as you do the beauty of just being alive - what a good guy you are !
Thanks torn!
Steve Wallis would you consider camping all over the world?! Could create some wild content. “Boon-docking near Egyptian pyramid”
I did like this comment but I was like number 70, so of course I had to take my like away to keep it at 69. I'm 35 but still immature as hell!!!
@@msladek1385His most recent episode he finally got his passport ❤
Your videos are mildly humorous, and relaxing. I like the food that you cook. You don't need to be complicated. We live vicariously through these videos.
Steve, you are a unique and amazing person, and I don't say that lightly. I discovered your channel a while back, and initially, I thought it was just some guy in a tent, but after watching more of your videos, I went back and I'm binge watching pretty much all of your videos. Your personality and resilience is just amazing; I don't know anyone (myself included) who would camp in a tent in the middle of winter for 8 weeks to go to school. Also, the fact that you love the cold and winter makes me happy because I'm like that too. I have no idea how many subscribers you had at the time of this video, but I imagine it was nowhere what you have now (not to mention being featured in the news!), and that makes me really happy. I hope your channel continues to grow quickly and reap the benefits of making all these videos for us to watch. Thank you, and I hope you're well and hunkering down.
Agreed, very genuine and cool dude camping and cooking..
I like everything from the tent to the food for the evening. I even enjoy the backyard. I watched the Boondocking vid & I finally binged Steve's 8-wk school challenge(s) and much admired him for it. For the path you've made for yourself Steve. Well done. And Good Luck with the new acreage!
@@tkp2957 Yes I agree. Its kind of funny that he camped out for 8 weeks in the winter to go to school right before his channel just blew the hell up!! Now he probably doesn't even need to work he can just do UA-cam full time and maybe give us a few videos a week. But its smart to have a backup gig lined up because you never know how long UA-cam will last. A lot of those early UA-cam celebrities are starting to learn that the hard way because they were banned or their channel just completely fell off. But I don't see Steve falling off and I can't imagine a Thursday without watching Steve hunker down!!
@@bradsully6620 I completely agree. I think I caught that 'series' as he was going through it and I always looked forward to the next upload. I thought then Damn! this guy is determined-and I was hooked.
I don't watch much television, I prefer the originality and creativity of UA-cam, especially people like Steve. No frills, no fuss-I can't quite say 'no chills', he's had a couple stealth camps that I hoped Beautiful Wife had bail money-just in case.
I was just thinking today-ah tomorrow's Thursday-Camping With Steve, something to look forward to.
Well said! Thank you its how I feel also
I love the internet. I'm in Australia, and here we get to see kangaroos, koalas, possums, flying foxes, lizards, snakes etc. And much more. But through people like you, I get to see wildlife, just doing their thing, that I otherwise never would. I love to see a bison, a bear, a beaver, a squirrel, a skunk, a racoon, or a wolf. You have beautiful animals there. Thank you.
I legitimately did not know that Australia doesn't have bears, beavers, squirrels, skunks, or raccoons! It's so common to discuss the rugged down-under and the dangerous animals it harbors, but I just kind of figured that they were overshadowing the less exotic, more mundane animals. I hadn't considered that maybe it's actually that you don't have them there, so perhaps they aren't so mundane after all.
I'm from the north-eastern United States up in Ohio, and while I've left the state a handful of times for vacations down south, I've not left the country yet. When I do though, Australia is at the top of my list for places to go first. You really do have a beautiful land to call home, plus your folks accents are music to my Americanized-English speaking ears!
@Spots Corner There's a very good chance they will relocate on their own once there's been enough hassle around them of you trying to get them out of there. They're very smart creatures and will generally leave a place that's got too much going on.
A quick tip: the mother will almost always come back for stray younguns, pretty much if she didn't somehow die she is absolutely coming back for them.
So if she relocates, and it seems she may have left one or two of them, dont attempt a rescue or anything of the sort. Even if it's been a few days, the mother will come back for them, she's just waiting for the right moment. This is the number one way raccoons end up raised with humans, because somebody with good intentions thought they were saving an abandoned baby raccoon, but had they waited a day or two momma would've come back to get them back from where she left them.
Good luck, send me a reply if you feel like, and let us know the situation.
Oh, believe me, you don't want to see a bear or a wolf in the wild. We have possums, they are just rodents to us. Raccoons are pests, they get into trash or like me, come in the pet door and make messes.
Oh wow y'all don't have racoons? I live rural ne Louisiana USA and we've got tons of racoons!! I don't like having so many only bc I own ducks and racoons love unaliving ducks!!
Have been watching your older videos and thoroughly enjoying the experience 😀. You make me want to hop in my car and spend the night somewhere other than home. Love your videos Steve!
What did the Buffalo say to his son that went off to college? Bison!!
Good one
Ba dum, ccccchhhhhhhhn.
seriously this is the only person on youtube who i can watch eat without it gross me out. i hate mukbang but steve has manners. love these videos. learning how to cook on each one! one day ill camp somewhere other than my balcony lol
Beautiful Wife on phone: "you left your garlic on the table."
LMAO 🤣 Yep...she might have sent that text to Steve!
i believe we receive a mental boost when we survive solo challenges, like a huge boost to ones confidence "hey, i slept outdoors, alone and didn't die, mother nature really does love me" 💪❤
what a great, relaxing video. Enjoyed the bison, the beaver, the deer, and the other wildlife sounds. Goulash and wood stove cooking while camping...doesn't get any better👍 than that, exactly!
I don't drink ever. I smoke. My step 2 is burning one.
Iv camped plenty. But there is something so addictive about Camping With Steve.
Reminds me of Home Improvement.
An american sit com in the early 90's. Steve reminds me of Tim Allen just camping.
You sir meaning Steve are one heck of a great guy and pls don't ever stop making these videos. I wish you were on at 6 every night for Camping with Steve.
I wrote this thinking you may never see this. In hopes one day you revisit this for some reason and I send much love amd thanks man. You help more people than you think.
Im gonna hunker down here and enjoy a step 2 well watching you camp.
Tomato paste tip :
Open the can on both ends. Keep the lid on one end and carefully push out the paste using the tin lid. Clean can, everytime ! Love your vids !
or dump what comes out and add the water then dump again.
That's actually a disgusting tip seeing how cans are kept in storage for extended periods of time meaning not only are they dirty but also that they contaminated with rat urine and/or feces.
also come in squeeze tubes, highly recommended
Or, you can pop a small hole with a can opener on the "closed end" and blow through it. The paste will come out like cranberry sauce does.
@@daleburnsred3996 Clean off the end then.
Thanks Steve for sharing your camping experiences with everyone. I wish I was out there camping too. 🇺🇸
I really enjoy watching your videos. Don't ever quit
The asking for comments while hunkering down/sleeping was a whole mood - and I am here for it.
Nothing better then camping. Thanks Steve.
WOW!! 4 years ago already... remember like it was yesterday, and you're still doing what I wish I could!
You are such a nice guy, Steve. I love your attitude and drive. Don’t change.
Nice to see some local camping from around where I live. Most of the stuff I watch isn't even close to me so it's nice to see some of these places I went to as a kid. Thanks for the videos keep it up!
Back to sleep in my truck a lot because my baby's mama is crazy!! Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm there with you and makes life not so bad keep it coming bro!
This is awesome, thank you for being alive.
Steve's videos are the only UA-cam videos I watch the ads , cheers bud
That’s the sign of an awesome channel that you want to support, I do the same too I’m sure it helps him out 👍
I do the same. I usually don't skip unless one is unbearably long.
All three of u are 100% correct
Hunker down! I love the vids!
I just like the fact that you love camping and do it often. It inspires me to get out more. Plus, you aren't trying to do something spectacular. You're just chilling. It is very comforting.
Thank you for the 20 minutes of zen after a long and challenging week. Keep up the good work Steve, we appreciate the honesty and humility of your content.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
In a tent, cookin' food. Exactly. I'm working in a restaurant 60-65 hours a week. No time for sitting in a tent cookin' food. I'm living vicariously through you, my friend.
If I live, I will one day sit in a tent and cook food. Love from Ohio.
Steve, I live vicariously through you! I can't go camping anymore and enjoy the memories I have and the adventures you share! Keep up the great content ☺️
Such a humble dude. Love the videos. One of life’s genuine guys.
Steve you are such a real dude and I'm so addicted to watching your vids. If you are ever in Massachusetts your craft beers are all on me my dude!
Gonna go hunker down and binge some more of your vids now. Keep up the great work man!
That bison probably went back to the herd like "guys one of the humans didn't migrate out of the campgrounds this fall."
Do people really find these comments funny ?
Yes
"Ahh. Back to the city" not a single sign of another human. Gotta love Canada lol
Steve you are an inspiration! I never thought about camping in the winter but after seeing your videos it's time to give it a try and kick it up a notch! Thank you!!!!
Steve I really LOVE your channel. I love the camping instruction and your dry sense of humor is outstanding. You like to keep it simple and that's great! I love the parts where you make a fire and then "Step Two" :-) I really like how this campsite provides firewood. GREAT STUFF - I watch it everyday!!
This one is awesome! Elk Island is so cool! Bison are so interesting and the park is a little island oasis of forest perfect for exploring 👍 The ordinary areas of Canada are sweet
I know this is an older video but going through some of them again helps my wife and I keep our sanity in these insane times. We purchased some Hunker Down/Step Two T-shirts and they arrived today. Love your humility and simplicity of living life, that's what keeps us watching. And as two of your loyal fans we await your next "stealthy" video whenever and where ever you chose to make it.
I don't know why but i love your vids, you are really enjoyable, can't wait for the next one ;-) Hello from UK.
We watch because it’s so relaxing just seeing a dude get back to nature! Always great stuff man!
Always a pleasure to hear & a comforting video of nature too. Lots of bison pictures here. I get my bison meat at Wal-Mart & Costco. Most commercial buffalo in the U.S.is owned by Ted Turner. He is even exporting the live animals to Europe. I use the burger like meat in soups & chili. Thanks Steve!
It's a pleasure to watch your videos. A relaxed, respectful approach to getting outdoors and appreciating whhat so many of us take for granted and / or haven't gotten it together to "make the leap" my wife and I used to LOVE camping. We're in our 70's and you have rekindled our interest ... who knows ? Thanks so much for sharing your ecpience in all it's "oops" reality.
I made goulash for dinner tonight, then jumped on to watch a Steve video and the next one on the playlist just happened to be this one! It was meant to be.
I went here with my school when I was a kid, really nice park and fun to get out of the city . But I gotta say I do love living in Vancouver island now !
I love how you always turn the tent around to match the camera and not the other way around...
I can’t believe I just discovered your channel! I love all of your camping adventures and safety measures you share with us. Very informative keep up the good work Steve! #TeamHunkerDown
Love your videos! Found them yesterday so I watched them from your boondocking days to the here and now. It reminds me of when I camped as a younger man. You bring back fond memeories. Thank you!
I really like bushcraft and the community of UA-camrs who cater specifically to that topic, but I've gotta say ever since I found you, Steve, your channel has been my favorite. I can't wait to see new content from your acreage with Beautiful Wife.
I enjoy the fact that your camping trips are not 100% perfect. Like the rest of us, you forget stuff, life happens. Good trips, fun trips
Your shows are so soothing Steve
Elk Island is beautiful from spring to fall. Try and get out there to hike a couple times a year. Definately worth it. It's nice to have the park so close to Edmonton but yet makes it seem like you are further away.
Been watching Steve for over 2 years now. For some reason, the algorithm is just now suggesting these old videos to me. New to me content, love it!
Just found your channel last night, I have yet to sleep.. Thanks steve!
Howdy from Lindale Texas, really enjoy your videos, they are very relaxing to watch!
Hey, discovered your channel about 4 months ago. Been happily watching your material since then, greatly enjoyed the boondocking documentary as well. Cheers Steve, keep up the good work, keep it real.
Awesome video as always! Looking forward to seeing more cold weather camping in the snow!!
brilliant video so normal no stress no hassle just camping , keep them coming steve .
I love these videos! I have binge watched all weekend! Steve your adventures are my new addiction!!
Love watching you, simple but really takes you back to your roots
Thats what made us love your videos brother, just you making delicious food and enjoying being you. Makes us remember the simpler and wholesome things in this world still
Thanks a real bloke camping like the real people do forgetting stuff and all. Well done Steve, love ya work.
Love your videos. Especially your stealth camping adventures.
Can't stop watching!
Binge-watching EVERYTHING from STEVE!!!!!!! :)
Great vlog ! Glad your back!! Keep up the great work. Thx for sharing mate!
Again...another great video. Thank you Steve. You are awesome.
Super cool, you're outdoors living life, right on, and nice vid
That's what I say about your videos "It's so good I gotta have more!" lmao! Seriously though you're amazing! 1.2 Million people love you Steve! If you need us we are there for you!
Love to go back to watch the one's I've missed. Steve, you are the best.
I love finding new to me Steve videos! Just a chill guy that is fun to tag along with
Paddling down the Fraser with some of the nicest background music. Totally enjoyed how mellow and dreamy it was and not too loud. Now I have to return to the part about your cooking so I can pick out the details of that Hungarian goulash (lost track of paying attention). It looked very good! Thank you for such excellent videos Steve!
Hey Steve I'm an older guy I really enjoy watching you practically everyday you seem like a heck of a nice guy God bless you be safe out there from Wichita Kansas
You make the food look really good. Giving me great ideas. Ty
Very nice trip and I enjoyed watching the meal on the wood burning stove! Thanks Pal.
Love the wildlife video Steve. Keep on camping!
I enjoyed your hike. I can't wait to see some snow shoe adventures in this same park. That bison in the campground was impressive! #impressiveaf as we like to say! #hunkerdown and #rockon PEACE
Another great video Steve, love the cooking bits and the just getting away from everything. Keep up the good work 👍
Just camped out there last night, the wildlife was unreal! Fresh snow in the morning, tons of tracks. Saw some bears, moose, deer, bison, coyotes.
I enjoy following your adventures. Thanks for the awesome meal ideas, will try some during my rv'ing.
I am actually watching from Hungary and let me tell you, what you cooked actually is called pörkölt. It is basically the same thing but like you did, not much water and is not a soup. Goulash is a soup with meat, vegetables in it. To make what you did into an original goulash you need to fill it up with water at the end, add vegetables like sliced carrots and small potato cubes and cook it until the potato is good. If you leave it like you did, it is pörkölt.
And i think it is better to add pork grease to the pan first, then cook the onions, then the meat, then add small water and paprika ect..
Cheers love your vids
100%, that's not a goulash. You definitely nailed it on that one clearly describing what one actually is. A traditional Hungarian goulash is basically a heavy beef stew for the uninitiated; sliced carrots & potato slices, paprika, mine also had like gnocci type stuff in there, not sure of the proper name. Both my mother & grandmother made it quite a lot, don't quite remember what my grandma's were like since she passed about 7 years ago. The majority of my family was born there so they know the cuisine. We even have a few Hungarian butchers we go to for kolbasz & hurka.

No one actually cares.
Love your videos man! I lived in a hammock tent on the beach for 4 months. Best time of my life! Couple cold beers and some good food is all ya need!
Love the elk herd at the end!💕
When its bed time I tell my dogs it is time to Hunker Down!
And then fuck em!
Dogs don't talk
@@patrickbateman4327 🤣
