Simple Car Camping

- Camped overnight at a beautiful free campground!
To make camping life easier on the road I've set up my car to have a half bunk in the back with a small table (shoe organizing rack) to use as a desk and table to put my laptop on. I have a 100 amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery to provide me with enough power to run a coffee maker and lighting. My bed is leveled out with some pine boards and shims so I can sleep level. The whole camping setup can be removed in minutes to return the car to normal.

He's back! So good to see you, Steve!
Good to be back! Appreciate you guys for following along on my adventures. Cheers.
@@campingwithstevealways good to see you come up with cool ways to camp and explore.
this is such a relief! tbh i was getting a bit worried!
love the new carpabed 😂😂
i dont think you've been so relaxed in ages! 😊🎉🎉
We missed you matey, great to see you back x
YES SIR! Steve is back! Hope you're feeling much better and happy new year
4.3K views within 11 min Steve. You've filled an entire club full of people! We your viewers are all cheering for you and appreciate every minute you give us! Love hangin out and hunkering down with you and everyone here
I appreciate everyone so much for following along. ❤
Awesome video
Get a life @@hnewc1919
in 50 min, it has 18k views. That's amazing! Lets go steve!
Well, we've missed him 😁,
The most authentic UA-camr on the platform. No clickbait, no trash, no controversy. Just genuine content. Please never change Steve. Safe travels.
Exactly. First scene the summit of the Malahat. Scene two, Mill Bay Mall in front of Thrifty's. Scene three , after 4 hours driving north on Vancouver Island on the Inland Hwy past Campbell river and on to the Hwy to Gold River. Steve had to drive that far almost 300 km for that meat loaf to cook. If Steve drove any further he would have been at Buttle Lake ( The kids and I call it butt hole lake). New Campground looks great, nice spot for a winter camp. Steve has the nack to make cheap living fun. Enjoyed. Just before the last scene I was thinking having done what he had done , a night at the Coast Hotel Discovery Inn in Campbell Rier would be nice and then bam, there you were.
I am a 76-year-old old just decided to live out of my car for 6 months your video was just what I needed down to earth no bull gave me more courage to go forward....Oh, I am in New Zealand.
@@newlife8318 Try to enjoy every moment as time is short.
How's the homeless adventure going
Who else is glad to see Steve back? 👍
Soooo glad!!
Genuinely makes me so glad to see him back. Great video, too
Relieved!
I am miss this guy been watching for years now
Me
Nobody loves camping more.... and nobody does it better than Steve.
You bring a lot of smiles to so many. Thanks Steve. You rock, buddy.
I lived in my truck for 7 months Steve. You trained me to fight for my life. Keep fighting.
@@JanglesteinedHe is acting. Knows more than you think
@@comm744he's not acting. He's quite UA-cam rich, but plays homeless simulator.
@AnoNym-zi5ty it's true.. its much easier to play homeless than it is to actually be homeless. Lol
For those that missed it, Steve posted a note on Instagram that some things came up he had to deal with and he will be back when he can.
I hope Steve is ok. Between losing his wife and recently his mother, he has a lot to deal with. He seems to be the kind of person hit hard by these kinds of things. Hang in there, we are rooting for you!
His post on instagram one day ago:
"Hey everyone, I had to return to Alberta a few weeks ago due to an urgent situation. I will give an update on what’s going on as soon as I am able to. Friends and family always have to come first for me, sorry for the radio silence. Cheers all!"
Thanks seeing thought something happened to him 👍
Sadly, many are mourning the loss of loved one's lately. I hope Steve is well. God bless 🙏
Probably taking a nice break
Thanks for the update. Wishing the best for Steve!
Canadian Tire should really sponsor Steve. He is the best advertisement for them.
As a fellow Canadian, we ALL know about and shop at Canadian Tire! The name is a bit of a misnomer, as tires are only one aspect of what you can get there. Everything from kitchenware, to camping gear! And everything in between!!
Steve, dealing with loss is the most challenging thing a person can go through, especially during the holidays. I lost my mother when I was a boy, the day before Thanksgiving. Twenty years later I still get teary eyed just thinking about her. I can’t say it gets easier with time but you do eventually learn to accept it for what it is. Please know in your darkest of days that you are loved and admired by so many people. Take care Steve.
Colton,
I felt every word. My dad passed away in 2019 and every holiday and every dinner I cook just bring back memories. I know the less I talk about it and just continue living it gets a lil easier over time but man the pain is still there. I almost teared up watching Steve eat that meatloaf and green beans. I miss those dinners with my dad. Anything can trigger those emotions but it get easier over time. I hope we all become stronger 🙏🏽💪🏽❤️
I lost my mom in 2022. I still get teary eyed. I miss her very much. Mother’s Day 2022 was the last holiday I had her. We didn’t get to celebrate it as we usually do because she was in the hospital. I lost her shortly after. Needless to say Mother’s Day is a bit tough for me.
I wanna say thank you Steve for being you Several years agoIt I lost my wife and my daughter in 2009That was the last year I went camping The situation happened where I tried to save my daughter and my wife But I couldn't For 8 years I blame myself Easy way to say I need up in the hospital Many times in those 8 years and I was diagnosed special needs It destroyed me Mentally About 2 years ago I found your UA-cam channel It reminded me of campingThen it gave me the memories of my daughter And my wifeOf us camping You help me More than you could Ever imagine A year and 1⁄2 ago I got an healing pathway for myself When I started the I could go outside without nobody's help I could go nowhere without nobody's helpAnd I had special people next to me help me with through my insurance I just wanna tell you today thank you I am going grocery shopping Without any help And I have actually turn the stone I'm helping other people That was kind of in my situationAnd that's what Brought me back to life I make a plans To start hikingAnd And I make a new plans trying to sleep all night long Outside next to my campfire Will be the 1st timeI went camping15 years Thank you for being you
Hey man. Just wanted to say you’re awesome. Keep it up we are all so proud of you. You’re strong and you’ve got this!
Hang in there Carroll!!! YOU will help many hurting folks!!!! Thank YOU so very much!!!! 👃👃👃👃✌️🇨🇦
Thank you, carolljoey! I'm so glad for you finding happiness.
Courage is a beautiful thing. And you are a beautiful person. Thanks for sharing your very special story.
❤ Light and love ❤️
You doing ok Steve? Not looking for content, just checking in on a friend to make sure everything is cool. Hope all is well my friend.
We are the camp host you could have knocked on our door and we would have been able to give you lots of info of the area. We have been the winter hosts since opening and have lived in the Campbell River area for many years. We winter here then travel the interior all summer sometimes into Alberta. Next time come see us . Thx and happy camping . Ps did we talk to you I seem to recognize you.
why would you think anybody "lost patience" with you, you are the sweetest man and does so much for the camping community of every description and i hope you understand how much you help others that go through depression and look up to you as a man who has been through it and still does so much that inspires everyone, steve you are truly loved by many that can't thank you enough, cheers brother keep on trucking man 🥰🥰🥰
Videos are getting very repetitive and boring old Steve just making these videos to line his pockets. Steve is smart!
@@joewasrippedoff8152We don’t need your negative comments, Steve has been through alot..keep it positive
@@joewasrippedoff8152 WOW you are a very negative person, maybe watch something else then, no-one made you watch this video or made you comment on others thoughts about this video, i stand by my comment 100%
So good to see Steve again. I do not go camping. I just enjoy seeing Steve’s camping adventures!
Could not agree more. 👍
The "glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife" to "smells like meat loaf" transition is masterful! Knocked it out of the park, again!
That was awesome lol
🔥🦇
thought the same thing lol
That made me so, so happy 😄
Paradise by the dashboard lights...the food 😆
I broke into song as soon as you said it.
Hope you are doing well Steve . We worry about you man. No need to make videos if you're not up to it , but let us know you're OK. Thanks .
C&J
U donated for beer to him a long time ago
You're the chilliest and sweetest guy, Steve, how could we ever lose patience with you? Glad to see you out camping again.
Steve the matchmaker 😅
I hope Anna said yes Matt, how could she not when Steve the legend was directly involved 😊
Congratulations 🎉
My childhood was camping. Our house was built in 1815. One wood stove. Ate what we grew and killed. Yep, camping.
Folks, when you lose the love of your life, certain times of the year are really tough to get through. Losing yoru mom after that. Brutal as well. He's had to get through the holidays, and then Valentines day.... Cut the man some slack. He's going to have a LOT of really bad days, weeks, months. He's going to have some good days weeks, etc... Anniversaries, holidays, birthdays, it's rough as it gets. No one here gets to judge him, or expect him to be any way other than who and what he is. Cut the tantrums. Now, I'm going to go my merry way before I start cussing at some of you. Steve, whatever it is, you do what you gotta do to keep moving forward. You've been a blessing to many. If we can be a blessing back, let us know.
Well put, thank you ❤
All it can take is a photo of them to put you right back into that place. Hopefully while he is away he doesn’t read comments too much, don’t think people realize how overwhelming they can be.
You have to at least acknowledge that a hiatus every few months is not a particularly sustainable UA-cam model. He’s entitled to do whatever he feels necessary but with over a million subs just a little more communication would do a lot for the community.
Hi there, I am one of Steves Moderators and I want to say I appreciate this comment, very much. It is hard to get through certains times of year after losing loved ones. I appreciate you being understanding and patient as well. Steve knows we are all here and we all love his content, and when he can he will post. Thank you!
Is he okay? Has anyone heard from him? I don't care about more content. I just want to know he's safe.@@SamHayden
I know in the past you've expressed how you feel like you always have to one up your last big stealth camp. I'm here to Camp with Steve, no matter how simple or extravagant. Came for the crazy camps. Stayed for the simple ones.
I agree completely. We're here for Steve, not just the stealth!
Exactly. And this made me want to go do a simple camp just like this and leave all my outdoor adventure gear at home and just be.
We have a mesa and I haven't camped up there yet, mostly because there is a bear up there. But I suppose Steve camps around a lot of bears too. We put a camera up on the mesa and captured a picture of the bear. I didn't even know we had bears.
“The headlights are glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife…”
“Smells like Meatloaf in here!”
Looks like this car camping is pure Paradise…by the Dashboard Lights!
And better yet, no car noise under a bridge! LOL
Thanks man! I wondered why Steve said that and thought it sounded cool af. Now I know why!!!
I’m in the comment section looking for this 😂
I remember (unwisely) playing the Bat Out of Hell album over and over again on full blast on my headphones when I was a teenager in the late 70s.
Love that song❤
Miss your weekly videos but also understandable, life happens. Looking forward to seeing Crazy Neighbor again as well, hope he's still recovering from his injury ok.
Man the fact that you’re helping someone else ask a person to marry him is just an absolute testament to the type of man you are. We all love ya Steve and we’re here just like you’ve been here for us. Thank you Steve.
I quit drinking alcohol Saturday after a moment of perfect clarity. Been both a rough but eye opening week. So to have a brand new camping video as I hunker down in bed out of the cold has lifted my spirits up.
Good luck and keep going. Good for you. A friend of mine did it cold turkey. First cigarettes and then booze. She's been going strong for years now. May you have the same strength. One day at a time.
Hugs from beyond
Please let us know how you are doing, good,bad, or other. We support and encourage you completely. I've been where you are and you got this. 👍
We have been drinking booch. Since Saturday. To loose weight. But good sub
@@philveburst1069 This is the longest I've been sober since spring last year to put it into context. Go work get pissed afterwards, wake up hungover, go work, feel better next morning, go work, get pissed, repeat. So yeah, it will last.
Great to see you again Steve! Keep up the great work. You are inspiring a generation to love the simple things.
Thanks so much!
We miss you Steve! Where ever you may be!
I am amazed to see you now have 1.51 million subscribers .I dont watch all your videos but always enjoy the ones I look at.
"glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife, smells like meatloaf in here". Paradise by the Dashboard Light.🙂
great play on words, and editing!!!
Haha! Nice, the younger folks don’t get it. Cheers.
I was about to comment on it also. Got a good chuckle there.
I always secretly figured Steve as a Meat Loaf fan.
I lol'd at that 😂
Steve is a national treasure, not just Canada, every country.
International treasure
A global treasure
Love that you brought enough batteries to get that time lapse of the snow on your car melting while you slept.
Im having a fever right now but theres something super cozy about the idea of being sick, tucked like a burrito in a blanket in bed while watching your videos, I love it
I first discovered Steve when I was deathly ill and binged his videos while I recouped. Definitely a Cozy feeling, even when I couldn't bare to keep my head turned towards the TV, just his voice narrating his adventures was enough to keep me afloat a little bit longer each day. So thankful that I found him. ❤️
When my man passed I slept in my car by the water often, it helped me heal
Sorry Steve, you are stuck with me. I figured after the flu and with the holidays you deserved a break. Not to say that you weren't missed. Your videos make a difference. They don't make world peace but do give us a place to come and take shelter. Thanks for being here for us Steve.
Cooking Meatloaf and describing car headlights reflecting as ‘glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife’ - very clever for all the MeatLoaf fans. Well done.
I come home from work.. I make myself some food....
I put camping with Steve on then I just simply munch out while watching Steve on his adventure and cooking his dinner...
Honestly...... LIFE IS GOOD 👍
So many people are forgetting steve is human and it hurts me to see people saying some mean stuff when he could be struggling with anything, just because you want content doesnt mean you need spam him or do anything like the sort, he is a human. he can struggle too..
I agree with you. People who have UA-cam channels either develop a thick skin to deal with negative comments or they simply do not read the comments. Or if a person has a really big channel, they may pay someone to handle their social media, including comments. Steve has been around YT long enough, that I imagine the negative comments do not (hopefully) bother him anymore.
@@nancyhanson3472 they do and always will effect people, the thick skinned do infact still get an impact from it. its how the human brain works it just the matter of how much they can take that is different. everyone has limits. i wish steve the best and i hope he gets to relax
"give em cookies, they want milk"!
I don't know any UA-camrs who can upload a video, and 40 minutes later, have nearly 20 thousand views. You're an absolute living legend. Steve, thank you for doing what you do
Whenever he posts its such a treat !
30k now, at an hour since posting! Love to see it!
@@jj_Daltonhe's literally the only UA-camr I have notifications on for! 💯💗
It says 1 hour and 33,857 view, that is amazing. I found myself watching and totally absorbed in the video. That doesn't happen that much for me.
Steve is great, him and Beardmeatsfood bring in serious views seriously fast :)
I'm speaking on my own behalf here.
I have mad respect for you.
You've gone through so much in such a short period of time.
As long as you put videos out I'll be here.
I don't mind waiting.
I've been living in my
Cadillac DeVille since October.
Not because I want to, but because I no longer can afford a home.
My mom we moved her into a senior care apartment house.
I live out on the road.
Every time I'm feeling really down I always think... what would Steve do.
I've learned a lot from you and greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for following along and your support. 🍻
@@campingwithsteveChristmas is stressful enough, good to see you back 🍺
I lived in my car too. I lost my wife and daughter in a car accident. Owned a home then. Im in a rehab now. Still miss sleeping in my car lol. But alas my family has forced me here. Im glad though. But nothing like sleeping in the car
@@idkjames Hey, you got this. Don't let your mind romanticise those times of using. Much love
Happy to see this! Same set up in my Mazda CX5 for the past 6 years. Love the 60/40 split. Comfy bed and stealthy, just wish I could stand up. Two out of three ain't bad!
I watch to step 2 and eat food with you. Every time I eat I look for a video from you. Doesn’t have to be stealth, can be anywhere, in a house, hotel, car, tent.. just keep on keeping on man we all here with you every day
What an influence you are to many of us. I'm 58 years old and have a decent career as a contract engineer. I admire the freedom you have! I too have spent many nights without a hotel. My coworkers think I'm a bit odd sleeping in my vehicle but I know it can be done with extra effort to keep clean and organized. Like you, it's a parallel life I live and I love it!. Too bad many people can't see the beauty of what you're showing.
A person just has to quit being conventional! Then it all makes sense.
If I am ever at a low point in my life I can escape with Steve to a peaceful place. Thank you Steve for your service to me and all of us who kindly enjoy you.
We will NEVER lose patience with you Steve! You are a true hero of stealth camping and UA-cam 🤠
I think we all understand.
I have, boring as. Eating food in a car , amazing.
Your videos are like a breath of fresh air. Best way I can think to describe them
Tiny oven, sleeping in the trunk, with the biggest tongs in the world 😂
Love you Steve!
Think the vast majority of subscribers are in it just to see you doing something you love, Steve. A break once in a while just makes the uploads more special. I've noticed a few of my favorite channels have been slowing down the uploads to focus more on their own quality-of-life, and I, for one, would be very happy if that was part of the reason for the less frequent videos. You owe us nothing, we owe you everything.
I am an eagle scout and unfortunately that taught me that camping is Hiking for 8 hours, sleeping cold on rocky ground, 8 hours hiking back in the morning.
I hated camping, very, very much.
Steve is helping me to open back up to the idea...
@@sfurulesthat’s terrible lol. Sounds more like survival training than camping. It can be fun though and there’s no laws against using some modern amenities
Some troops were not as great as others, our only long hikes were those who willingly signed up for them, otherwise CAMPING COOKING AND FISHING was the way for us.@@remb9614
@KoH4711 Very well said.
yea, guy would've made a crazy good actor i think, has the voice, has the screen presence, even the fkken great one liners like Schwarzenegger had back intheday . one could watch him all day in different genres, but mostly in action-adventure flicks. And that crazy neighbour character woukd have made a perfect sidekick/mad scientist type supporting role in any of Steve's would be movies. Speak for myself, i'd watch them all.
Steve might just be the most chill guy on UA-cam. His videos never get old. Stealth camping or otherwise his charisma shines through.
I see a base-level of anxiety there, but he rises above it beautifully.
Fr
I appreciate that he doesn't start his videos with the sound levels on max as he shouts "WHAT'S UP UA-cam!"
Whenever I can't sleep I come here to relax and clear my mind. Thank you Steve!
Steve, I am a guilty non camper watcher... but I love your channel and watching it. stay strong. Me and a coworker who watch you fanaticly were morified upon hearing from you about beautiful wife. Going through a divoce currently, not the same, but has simular feelings. All of this will too pass. Stay strong brother. We all love you.
if someone lost patience with steve they can move right along to another channel. Steve is an absolute gem of a human being.
And those other channels funnily enough make those impatient complaints even less valid since there is still other similar content to watch if Steve takes some time off due to an illness etc. 🤔😁
Yep I already have.!! @Campingwithsambananas
Steve is going to cook a meatloaf as he drives around. That's the greatest thing I've heard all week. Good to see you, buddy.
Ok I'm here because it occurred to me that I haven't seen a video from Steve in awhile, and I see I'm not the only one. But some of these comments, holy sh*t, guys. Steve is one person, working all by himself. If you follow multiple creators on YT and elsewhere, as I'm sure you all do, you have to have noticed that an individual person can't put out content on a regular schedule, 24/7/365 no matter what's going on behind the scenes. Only an organization with multiple people can do that. Content creators need a break from time to time, especially when they've had major upsets in their life like Steve has. Cut the guy a break, and cut the rest of us a break before you post inconsiderate comments, please. It's gratuitously unkind to Steve, and it takes away from the experience for everyone.
We are with you, Steve! Glad you took some time off for self care
I found Steve's channel my first week of college. I was all alone in my dorm, out on my own for the first time, and stumbled across this channel. It was something that gave me comfort in such a new and vastly different environment that I was adjusting to.
Here I am in my final semester of college and have not missed an upload yet. Nothing is more relaxing than getting something to eat and watching Steve for 20 or 30 minutes. Truly one of the most humble, wholesome, and genuine guys on this planet. Thanks for being who you are and being a source of entertainment and relaxation for so many of us.
Most people in a car : We're in the car today so let's grab some fast food or something simple.
Steve in a car : We're in a car today so let's cook a whole meatloaf right off the steering wheel.
I was homeless for a few years in my late teens and I sort of miss it.
I miss the adventure really.
I wasn't addict homeless I was traveling and working at temp agency's to see more of canada. Homeless.
I stayed in my old tent most of the week , every Friday id get a night a A hotel to clean myself up and sleep cozy for a night . Then it was on the bus / train onto the next city.
I want to do it again sooooo badly but I'm a dad to young children and just can't find the time to anymore
However, my eldest son came along when I found a spot on a bike trail last year .
We stayed 2 nights .
When it was time to pack up and come home , neither of us wanted too 😂
Steve, your content always had a certain elusive charm and you sure had a way with words. But now, your absence leaves a gaping void. Hunker down brother and may your step 2 bring solace in the darkness 🛌🍻
“Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife” and quick cut to the meatloaf cooking!👍🏼🤣 I really enjoyed that.
Was hoping someone else caught that. I laughed so hard at that transition
@@billnad Not sure why I found that so entertaining but let me sleep on it and I give you an answer in the morning if I can figure it out!🫡
When he cracked that egg over the middle of the seats I almost had a heart attack.
I have no doubt that you get messages like this all the time. My 7 year old daughter and I watch and re-watch your videos all the time. They, and you, are a source of great joy and comfort to me. It’s so rare that we get to see the ‘real deal’ anymore in this world. You are the definition of a real, wonderful person. Thank you so much. I have no doubt that what you do, and being in the spotlight, can take its toll on you. It makes me all the more appreciative of you. Always remember how many of us genuinely care about you, a person we’ve never even met. 😊
Well said! Some vitamin Steve!
I'm newer about 6 months but I love your videos. Just know we're all here for you brother.
Love you Steve, the holidays are hard for a lot of people. Ever since my mother passed, christmas isn't the same. Were not going any where buddy, hang in there 🤟
Steve, i think it’s a testament to your character that while struggling with the loss of your loved one your still willing to help out a fan with his loved one. Your videos always makes me forget about my issues for half an hour. I hope we do the same for you. God bless you and don’t give up.
I have been checking everyday like most for weeks now and it’s bloody great to see you Steve! My 4 year old son won’t go to bed at night unless he gets to watch an episode from your channel 🙏🏻.
If you ever fancy a trip over to Scotland 🏴 we have some of the best wild camping laws in the world! And the scenery is stunning even if I say so myself.
From far across the pond, we appreciate you Steve ❤️
Missing you....at least do a post that you're ok....Lotta folks miss you cause seriously...you're a good guy
Some have indicated that he posted on Instagram that he had to go back to Alberta and take care of business - and will be back as soon as he can.
.consider coming down to the states to camp in West Virginia.We have vast forests,dozens of state parks,the New River Gorge,ghost towns,Civil War battlefields modern cities and small town/rural life.Great place to visit!
Steve you never have apologize or explain yourself. Your core youtube family will always be here to sit by a campfire or share a stage 2 with you when you are ready to share. I don't comment on many things, but this I felt I needed to. I dont have one particular favorite type of video's of yours, stealth camping, car camping etc. I just enjoy you and whatever content you decide to share. My heart goes out to you as I know things weigh heavy on you, even with you saying you are doing a lot better.😊 and please know you are not alone brother and very much appreciated.
💯
Hi ya Steve. I ran the winter roads (ice roads) for 8 years and myself and most of the drivers I worked with used those lunch pail stoves. A few years back, and ours were shaped just like a lunch pail, hence the name we gave them. Mine went to 290 degrees. I'd pick up 3 lb. pork or beef roasts to cook in it. At that temp it took about 2 hours to cook them. Also put a bit of potatoes, carrots and onions in with the meat. As much as we could squeeze in. Get 2 or 3 drivers with them and all cooking something different, we ate better than most restaurant's out in the middle of nowhere. Once you get the hang of it Steve, you'll really enjoy it. The pamphlet you got with it should tell you the temp it goes to. Enjoy your meat loaf and be safe.
I believe breaks are important no matter what. Cant miss me if i never leave.
Man it’s been a long while
We miss you Steve god bless
I must say, Steve, that your mixing up a meatloaf inside a zip-lock bag is pure genius !
That Paradise by the Dashboard Light transition was the smoothest, understated segue I've ever heard. Bravo, sir, bravo.
Yeah... so awesome.
I was about to say the same, amazing haha
I just commented the same! Then figured someone else had to have noticed!
@@Qrit ain't no doubt about
@@stephaniewoods2374 doubly blessed
I have been watching your channel for a few years now, and love your attitude towards life and living despite the ups and downs. This has inspired me to try something different and make my own UA-cam videos. If nobody watches them its all good, just took your advice to not to be bound by other peoples judgements and embrace just being me, a little odd. So thank you for being awesome and nice a person. have a great day.
Good luck with your videos! It can be quite an experience.
Tonight has been one of the hardest nights of my life 😔 I just want to thank you, Steve. You’re bringing moments of comfort and positivity when I thought I couldn’t feel them anymore.
Steve, the way you've handled life since your tragedy has truly been an inspiration. I really appreciate you and your videos have really helped me through a very difficult time. Thank you so much!
I cant imagine anyone losing their patience or interest in you Steve! We will most likely never meet but I consider you a friend, love following your adventures, and whenever you pop up it's a good day!! Sending love and healing from Indiana.
Same ! From West Virginia
Yes French onion soup mix is the secret ingredient to every Meatloaf mix. Amen Steve! God bless you Steve. Prayers from Ohio USA. Also a no drone zone sounds like BS, you're not by an airport, let it fly they wouldn't even know if you did!
Steve, as someone who is on the verge of homelessness, I adore the setup you have in the back of your RAV4. I may be emulating this very soon in my Kia Sorento. I just wish campgrounds in the US were as plentiful as they are in Canada and weren't so expensive here.
Sorry to hear about your situation. It’s all too common these days and no one in power seems to care.
What part of the country are you in? Out here in the west there’s a lot of campgrounds and national forests/blm lands that are fair game to stay in for free.
Steve whenever I’m stressed I just watch your camping videos and I’m calm again
You quoted Meatloaf lyrics, and then segued right into eating meatloaf. Loved that so much.
Paradise by the Dashboard Light!! RIP Meatloaf. Cooking a meatloaf, with Meatloaf!
Totally my favorite moment of the video. Perfect. 😅
We missed you, Steve

It's good to see you again, Steve! My fiance and I are huge fans. Camping was a huge part of my life growing up. The outdoors can be such a healing place, a place to reconnect with yourself. I hope that it's been that way for you. Thank you for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable. Hunkering down for the night. 😊
I lost my best friend, my dog of 17 years, and the love of my life and partner of 7 years this past year. Your videos have really helped me get through the past few months. Thank you for doing what you do, Steve. We appreciate you.
God Bless you nolamisskel/
I hope you find peace friend, that's a lot of loss in such a short time 💔
I gave you a like, but I didn’t really like what I read. Very sad. I just lost my dog of 15 years last month. I couldn’t imagine putting another loss on top of that. I know that no words can ease your pain. Steve is someone we can all pull strength from
@@wallytimmins356 thank you
@@marklastname1993 thank you
I could never lose my patience with you Steve. You deserve all the grace in the world, and I am so grateful that I get to follow along on your adventures! We are so lucky to have you ❤
What she said . U rock Steve
Ditto...My thoughts Exactly...❤ U Steve
Steve’s the man!
My grandson and his girl friend camped in my VW Polo, air bed, double sleep bag, couldn't believe how comfortable it was. I was on my boat, in the harbour. Peace and goodwill Steve.
Thank you for keeping me company on a friday night. Thank you for being such an incredible stong person. You mean so much for so many people that you don’t even know about. ❤️
My husband and I have been talking about you, Steve, nearly daily just hoping you’re doing okay. We wear our Camping With Steve sweatshirts daily just in simple support of you. We love ya and hope you’re hanging in there. You have more love and support here online than you know. Stay warm Steve, and keep hunkering down! We’re all here for you. Happy New Year, friend. 💕🫶🏻 Love, the Warmerdams
He's back, and baking a meat loaf in the front seat. So happy to see you Steve!
These vids are so simple and wholesome. I’ve been battling depression and your vids gets me through it. Cheers to you!!
I've been semi-homeless at a few points in my life, and have spent many months living in the back of a Dodge Grand Caravan with a very similar setup. In my case, I used a futon mattress to sleep on. When I needed the stow 'n' go seats up, I could fold the mattress, and store it, and the rest of my belongings in the trunk area. It was inconspicuous enough that I would literally just park in public parking lots to sleep. Never had anyone bother me.
Reading the comments made me happy … a supportive, faithful, loyal community with positive encouragement and gratitude towards this man. It’s wonderful!
“I will form the meat into a loaf” - the first guy to make meatloaf and also Steve Wallis
Also I loved the inclusion of the radio weather callouts. Puts me right there with you Steve!
I love how sensible you are.
No pressure my good man.... But we're all here for you dear fellow.
We'll never lose our patience with you, silly! Whatever makes you happy makes us happy! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Aw! The proposal was so sweet! I'm so happy you're doing better! Missed seeing you and hearing your great voice! It will be 12 years this May since I lost my husband of 18 years and my daughter and I still miss him terribly! John's brithday was on December 12th, so Christmas is always tough. My daughter usually makes her dad's favorite cake for his birthday, but this year she had her hands full chasing around her 8 month old miracle baby (her husband survived cancer and a kidney transplant before she finally got pregnant). I want to tell you that it gets "easier" somehow but , honestly, you just keep moving, You're doing fantastic! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
What a beautiful comment. I hope Steve sees this.
@@apropergirl thank you! I think he did.
The confidence it takes to mix up meatloaf in your car 😮
Anyone consider it may just be too cold to go camping? Steve is no spring chicken and he has to consider freezing to death. Camping should be fun! And safe!
There's enough videos of him camping in the freezing cold with Big Buddy heaters to keep him warm. That shouldn't be an issue.
I just wish he would visit the US and camp somewhere warm with a few fans.
I used cap in a tent in the cold before too, I don’t anymore. I have a 5th wheel with a heater now. Used to scuba dive in Washington and Canada. Now it’s all warm water. We get older and things change.
Finally a Steve Wallis video
Steve is an international treasure. Protect him at all costs.
I hope your doing alright steve! We miss ya man. If ya need time, we get it. I sure hope ya havnt stopped for good tho, you are a very special channel to a lot of us. Much love
Now I know why you called her beautiful wife, wow. Love the show love the meals you cook. Thanks Steve from Oregon.
