      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.

    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 🙏🏽💪🏽❤️

    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.

    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 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 ❤️

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. 😊

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).

    Steve, just wanted to say thanks for making a video not that there isnt enough re-runs I could watch ...😊 and have many times. I started watching tour channel when my life fell apart and in discovering your channel years ago now, I found peace an escape and got to know another human beings struggles in life. Took the focus off me and put it on someone else and it made me realize I could do that everyday and go on living with purpose. When you help someone else or just take the time to acknowledge them it can not only be extremely rewarding it can change the world. A little long winded ...😊 thank you Steve....live well brother.🇨🇦

    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 🛌🍻

      I watched a few of his videos the other day when he camped in his backyard. Any Camping with Steve is top notch entertainment.

    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.

    Great work getting the Meat Loaf lyrics written into your commentary Steve. It ties in well with the marriage proposal. Congratulations to Matt and Anna(possibly).

    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.
