Bus Camping In The Rain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2022
- A basic camping trip to dust the cobwebs off the bus. First one of the year! I experimented with a little awning and had a relaxing night watching the hockey game. Nothing too exciting this week, but I've had to stay close to home to get people paid designs to workers at the house.

SPOILER - I had an issue with the SD card and there is a missing scene in this video. Looking at a dual SD card camera for the future. It could have been worse I suppose. Cheers everyone!
🍻 @SteveWallis
Steve once you start to see a SD card fail, toss it in the trash..
If you looking for somewhere rainy come to Scotland, you can camp anywhere in Scotland. We have the right to roam.
Panasonic GH5 isn't a bad choice, dual SD and lots of them going second hand these days if you want to save a Canadian kopek or two. You would have to get lenses and all that though.
They have a degree of weatherproofing along with some of the lenses that you can get for it too, which would be good for all the stuff you get up to!
No worries! Always happy to see the king of stealth!
Doesn’t matter what you do Steve, it’s just such a privilege to chill out with you anywhere you go..
Your crazy neighbor is an awesome dude! Love that guy!👍🏻

I miss crazy neighbor, he's the Cosmo Kramer of Steves show.
Still camping. The more fun the better.
What happened?
Facts!!!
Yay.. been missing the Hunker Bus.
I'd want to call it the Hunker Junker for the rhyme, but Steve and Crazy Neighbor keep it in good repair so that doesn't really work.
I would call it the scapegoat because it took the blame for something during the tree house roof collapse northern lights video. But ya gotta watch it to find out
Hunkering Down Just Got Real
The No-Bear-In-There Bear Buster Hunker Bus.
My neighbor likes your channel and showed me the white challenger episode. Garage was pretty cool with all the flags hanging that people send you.
It’s so hard to watch his videos knowing what happened to him recently. I hope he can find peace soon and gets the time to mourn his loss. I feel for you Steve.
I was just thinking the same thing. It's heartbreaking.
Knowing hes struggling and not being able to do anything to help really agitates me i hope he feels better and takes the time he needs for real
just don’t talk about it
I was also thinking the same. I feel watching his previous videos where he was happiest maybe helps him out theoretically by giving him more views. Just hope he can take the time he needs to mourn and know we all appreciate all his videos.
I really hope he is doing okay
Almost died..."the bus makes me feel safe, what ever the opposite of crippling anxiety is I guess, your safe from the bears, even if they were trying to get in.. just drive away.. run away from your problems" gold.
Would it all fit on a tee shirt I wonder?
@@stoneblue1795 font sizes exist for a reason 😊
Beautiful mantra for life
'Its Bear Resistant'
'Even if they are trying to get in. You could just drive away'
Damn near laughed my face off with those lines. Just gold right there :)
Steves luck the bus wouldn't start Lol
He is a saint and a scholar.
@@georgejackson2129 hahaha made me laugh hard with that comment lol
Or he could just invite that other Steve from How To Hunt and then the bears would stay away for fear of becoming dinner.
As a female wild camper in UK, swap out bears for men! 😅
There is legitimately no greater feeling than sitting in a campground, by a fire and hearing nothing but the crackling of the fire as you drink a beer.
I'm hearing what sounds like traffic.
And the rain...👍🇬🇧
I can think of quite a few things that feel better than that actually
You help keep scary stuff at bay Steve, and give lonely people a sense of belonging, a reduced sense of isolation. We’re all here right? All camping in our minds.
The world is going nuts, but we are going camping. Thanks mate.
world is fine, grass still growing, birds still chirping, it is the 5000 billionaire families that control gov that are "going nuts"
Perfect comment ❤
Pass the marshmallows
Indeed sir. I nearly set fire 🔥 to my plasma screen TV in my backyard when I literally threw it out. 🙃
Well said dude the media is just constantly pouring out with negativity whilst our club is just out camping!
Steve’s energy is so helpful when the days get tough.
Thank you, Steve! Hope the railroad goes well on the property! Rootin’ for ya !
I thank you for your stories. I've been battling colon cancer. I wish I could do what you do.you put a smile on my face and love how you narrate. God bless
ive been living as a hobo for a year in a central europe without any skills to make a stuff like Steve is posting here, and im really glad ive found this channel for a lucky chance of recommendations givien by youtube. additionally i can tell, that basic skills of stealth camping ive got by the end of my so called journey, Steve is sharing to a lot of people on this social platform is making an opportunity to get a better chances to have a nice experience of urban exploration for folks who seeking for it. thank you, Steve for a good vibes and nostalgic feelings. hope You getting well through this hard times. god bless you and people surrounding you! hope for more content! keep it real, Dude!!!
P.S: sorry for grammatics if its bothering you. my mothertongue isnt english.
Hope all is well with you!
living at a hobo for fun or because you dont have a chance?
@@xBINARYGODx because life in eastern europe is much more pain in the ass than living as a hobo in central europe) and thererefore i have a bit of nomad roots
BH b b hi
Hanging out with Steve is the main idea. It doesn't matter if it is a stealth, or regular camping. I crack a step 2, sit back, and spend some time with a buddy. He constantly amazes me with the meals he comes up with.
"Is this even camping anymore?" Steve, you deserve the comforts when possible. Keep it coming.
He is a saint and a scholar.
after that stealth camp he did on a body bag he can record himself sleeping on his bed for all I care. He proved himself many times
@@yongyea4147 he is the bob Ross of Camping
Cheers.
Why do I find this Canadian man so relaxing to watch camp?
Just found this channel a few months back, watching it start to finish, and it always helps me get back to neutral and observe life from an unbiased point of view. No matter how my day is going I know that Camping with Steve can help me return to a peaceful place and help focus what's important in life. EDIT: "Camping in this school bus is the opposite of crippling anxiety." Being along for the experience has a similar effect.
Steve, the world is a really messed up place. After watching tragedy after tragedy unfold on the news, I really look forward to getting away from it all and hopping on your channel to watch your latest shenanigans. No politics, no drama, no hate and discontent, no sadness.. you truly are a bright spot in this dark dark world.
Couldn't have said it better myself!! I feel the same way. I wish you blessings and light!
Literally took the words out of my head as I was watching the end of the video ready to write exactly that. Such a fresh breath of air.
Stop watching the news, idiot. That’s exactly how they want you to feel, to be scared and make stupid decisions out of emotion. If youre talking about the shootings, yes, it was a tragedy but since then thousands have died from medical malpractices, car crashes, drug overdose and hundreds by suicide. Stop reacting to “spectacles”.
I agree. Watched this before bed to relax. No worries.
Yes, the modern world sucks, moving to nature somewhere remote is blissful... it's not easy, but it's possible
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the bus, and don't blame you for not buying an "out of the box" awning. The bus is yours and Beautiful Wifes, for you to enjoy. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
I'm not joking i could watch Steve decorating and still find it relaxing. Such a chill dude. Thoughts are with you Steve.
I love watching any of your videos in the rain. Your videos are already so peaceful and this just makes it a thousand times more relaxing thank you for your videos Steve
We love your “normal stuff” Steve! Don’t change a thing. And best advice of the week? The bit about how camping in a bus generally keeps the bears away, but if they do get extra rambunctious, just drive away! I love it!
No, we only want stealth camps. This is BOOOOOORING
He’s such a genuine guy! These videos really cheer me up.
Steve, A few years ago ( 1986 ) I put in a $300 bid with school district for an older bus, won the bid, My wife had a fit. and my HOA wouldn't let me park it. Parked it in an Industrial park for a few days and moved it every couple of days, One day I found a note on it from a man wanting to buy it. I call the phone number he left and said I didn't want to sell it, but I wife was having a fit, so I would take $2,300 ( figured that would end it ) but he said I'll take it. My wife loved the $2,000 profit. Buyer showed up 4 Months later to show me what he had done, it was really nice.
Pop over here in the school bus to Scotland. Plenty rain for ya Steve 🤣
And Sturgeons New Scottish.... Plenty of them.
Mate we were thinking the same thing
That would be quite the ferry journey 😄
Next episode -- Steve and Crazy Neighbor weld pontoons to Hunker Bus, consult Atlantic shipping lane maps.
⛈🚣♂️🏊♂️🛐🚢
Steve out here giving us MCU levels of cinematography. I see you with the key turn action shot, followed by the exhaust zoom in. Love the extra little details you're throwing in, my dude. Cheers 🍻
Thank gawd I'm not the only person that noticed this! The whole opening sequence brought a smile to my face; He really is honing the craft.
There's been a handful of super shot episodes! I recall being super impressed like, 2 years back with some great cues and things!
Your videos make me feel, "whatever the opposite of crippling anxiety is" as well. Thanks Steve.
Today you are living my dream. I have been dreaming of having my own school bus to travel EXACTLY like you just did. Thank you thank you thank you for this video. ❤️❤️❤️
These videos are astonishingly calming and therapeutic. Watching them is possibly more relaxing than going camping yourself.
definitely better gas mileage !
Bro, just spent a 12 hour day chopping in trim, gonna do it again tomorrow. I live vicariously through you, bringing the solitary outdoor chill to the masses. Congrats on a million subs! You deserve it.
Steve you have been very informative about being in the woods. Thank you for all you do 🙏
Omg i just love your video. All that you needed you had. You're the simplest guy on earth. You dont need much too survive. Just the basics without fanciness. Dont ever change. You're awesome dude. I love it.
Glad to hear things are progressing at the homestead! And hockey is always fun to watch or listen to, was pulling for the Oilers myself. This was an especially peaceful video, definitely needed it today Steve
He is a saint and a scholar.
I love the watch them beat the s h I t * out of each other
You know a good hockey player when they don't have no teeth,
Steve begs an interesting question when he’s using power for his bus “is this even camping anymore?”
To which I say yes. I used to have this firm belief that camping was doing everything without modern amenities and no electricity. With the exception of a flashlight and lantern, I was doing everything in a tent and cooking over the fire. And that definitely is a super fu nets to camp.
But camping can be done in an RV, in a trailer, with a raft as a roof, or just sleeping under the stars. I think the basic principle of camping is choosing to leave home for a while, disengaging with the hustle and bustle of day to day life, and choosing to enjoy nature. Camping is a form escapism and it shouldn’t be gate kept. I’m not saying Steve was gatekeeping it, but we can all agree we have met the person who will call to us rude name just because you use power or choose to use an RV.
Camping should be fun and should be done at the pace you’re comfortable with. Regardless of how you do it, so long as you enjoy and respect nature, escape from day to day life for a little bit, and most importantly enjoy yourself while doing it.
us vehicle life people have to use electricity esp when we camp since the vehicle is our homes and i see nothing wrong with using electricity while camping
"Camping is a form escapism" Couldn't agree more. "Getting away from it all" is the heart of camping. There will always be people heading out into the boonies with less equipment, unless you camp naked. 😆
The question gets interesting when you talk about virtual camping. You can have all the aspects of cerebral escapism, all of the physical sensations of being in nature, and on the grand scale of things being inside a wood house isn't any less in nature than sitting on the lawn. If it does the job it does the job, ultimately
One of my fav videos. Had to watch it again.❤
Wow, thank you, Karen :)
Seems we have the same idea 🤘
When I was groing up, haven't made it yet lol, I'm a long haul trucker in the states and I often thought about camping in little spots of woods. That's why I love your videos so much! Be safe!!
My new life motto: "It won't be pretty but it will be something." Words to live by.
we need book of Wallis quotes.
@@m-bronte okay, here's the title: "Hunkered Down"
Let’s not overlook a Steve Walls cookbook…
Appropriately named “Your Cooking with Steve”
Famous sayings from Steve “ It won’t be pretty but it will be something “ and the lesser well known “ when camping in a campground, I like to be by the outhouse in case of emergency 😉” 😂
He is a saint and a scholar.
I'd like to add "if this works I'm gonna be so shocked" :)
I tried to convert a minivan but found it was too small and so was a pickup box but your idea of converting a school bus is perfect and the space leaves room for a small fire stove or oil furnace or even both! Lots of storage and a diesel engine…. I’m convinced that this is the best way to go! Thanks👌👍🇨🇦😃
Got alot of anxiety but when i watching your videos i can relax for a bit and forget the real world and just enjoy your adventures!
I love camping with Steve, it makes me feel like I go outside and do stuff! ;)
Nothing says freedom more than a campfire , beer and a bus with the hockey game on, you are living the Canadian dream.
Your bus looks SO cozy! Nothing like hunkering down in a safe bus on a cool rainy day. Radio on or good book, pillows and a fuzzy blanket w a bowl of chili and a beer! Perfect!!
or an NHL game but yea im with ya
Dave at his best.
Western Washington. No snakes, lots of rain. You'll love it
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Rewatching these. Love you man.
I think this may be my new favorite video from you. I love your humor and how good natured you are. And the bus is looking awesome!
I love how Steve starts fires. I'm such a bushcraft nerd and will start fires in the backyard with a single post it note, dry grass, tiny sticks, then have a roaring fire. My brother, will pile up logs, grab the propane torch, and just give her. To each their own :D
Recently came across your channel and honestly you are like a breath of fresh air. I am in the UK and had the pleasure of visiting Canada in 2011, best 3 weeks of my life I tell you! Although we never went camping, seeing your videos brings back memories. you are living the life I would love to live, unfortunately my health isn't fab right now, some days I struggle to walk but seeing watching your videos make me feel like I am there. Thank you for being some calm in in mad world x
Hope you got better!
@jorisv207 a little but still struggle some days thank you for asking 😊
Not gonna lie I could live in a simple camper bus like that... Hopefully I will someday! Keep the content coming Steve... I'm living vicariously through you
same bro
Hi Steve, its been a hard day and all of a sudden just your friendly voice makes the week better. 🚍
Please please please please do more of these videos. The bus, the tarp, the rain . So very perfect. Please have more sound of just the rain hitting the tarp or in the bus
Glad you listened to your vision of the ocean 👍
The sound of the bus!!!! Love it and it reminded me of the ride to school each day. Keep up the great work Steve!!
Sitting here in the Autumn sun, having a coffee and watching autumn leaves and plastic recycling rolling by, getting windy and rain on the way. Turned on my tablet, and there was me old mate Steve,.. Bliss..... Much love to you and yours from me in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Chur from the Deep South ✌️
3:07 scenes like this is why I love you Steve lol you´re the camping dad I never had
Love the school bus idea. Like the fact its bear proof! Its a kind of glamping I guess.. good food, beer hockey and rain. Perfect!
This was way cooler than I was expecting. It had a real preper feel to it. Post apocalyptic. Love the vids Steve
I had seen some of the more viral videos in my feed and ignored them. I watched the “camping in the center of a roundabout” and I was hooked. Great work Steve, been enjoying the back catalog. Really incredible that you put these videos together in the day or two before Thursday!
Check out his camping in a pile of garbage 😊
Steve, i always look for obvious solutions...like using the windows to hold the tarp. lower them slightly and pull the outter seam of the tarp inside and then close the window on the tarp enough so it holds and doesn't leak...just a thought. Love the videos. Thank you!
Yes, Thank You! I was sitting on my sofa say ,” Steve, open the windows - use that to hold your tarp!”
You could also put paracord through the tarp grommets and tie big knots on the end, or tie a stick or something on the end, put the cord through the window and close it, the knots will keep it from sliding out thru the window, and you should be able to close the windows all the way and avoid any leaks.
Cool bus! When I was a kid the family had a bus we lived in for a while when moving across the country. My dad took out all the seats and bolted 2 bus seats facing each other with a regular table between them. On the outside they painted the whole thing with brown exterior house paint with rollers and brushes. Even painted over the stop flashers. They used some tie wire ( like for concrete work ) and strung it along above the windows along a series of self tapping screws and hung curtains on that. Lastly there was a plywood stall restroom in the back corner of the bus. Inside it had a 5 gal bucket with a lid under a toilet seat. Not something one would want to use unless they had to I suppose, but convenient.
FYI if you want your potatoes done right throw them right into the coals and try some onions the same way with a bullion cube and oil. Yummy!
My husband and I love watching your videos. We live in Nova Scotia, I am currently visiting a friend in Alberta…..low and behold I happened to run into “Crazy Neighbour” today at the Liquor Store!! It was easy to recognize him with his pet rat “Billy”. He obliged to have his photo taken with me. I was thrilled to send that home to my husband who is out camping with his friend back in Nova Scotia. Thanks again to Crazy Neighbour for the photo! Looking forward to watching all your future videos.
What an interesting wrinkle to his character..:::
In my experience, people have to be pretty perceptive for rats to spend time with them, this confirms my suspicions about CN!
I LOVE Steve, I've watched his adventures from early on. My concern is that Steve feels his show is about camping in weird, risky spaces when it's not that at all. Steve, your fans just want to come home from work, pop a beer and vicariously sit by the fire with you and chow down your cooking.
Exactly! Look at the view count of this video
Enjoyed your video, I love the rain too! Happy trails!
Agreed. He seems to think that we are all here just for stealth videos but we’re down with all of it. I’m kind of worried he’s going to do something too risky sometimes
No I’m in it for the weird stealth camps
@@baileycullivan1946 I watch all of Steve's videos but am always extra excited for the stealth vids. But I love his variety.
First video I watched was Steve in a bush near a retail outlet, he ditched the gear fired up a Thermacell mentioned bugs then hit the liquor store for step 2’s and freshly baked bread, then he ambled back into the bush and we held our breath for him, I have been hooked for years now.
I like going back watching the old days.
Lol Steve still thinks we care how he camps, stealth or tree house or bus. Dude we just like kicking it with you and your adventures and of course our step 2s. And of course crazy nieghbor is always included. PS. Folks were only 86k away to get Steve and nieghbor and Beautiful wife to a mill. Share and let's do it this month. Still remember celebrating 100k with you 3, good times
We tried magnets with our tarp and bus too, but no matter how strong a magnet you use or how many the tarp ends up providing enough leverage in wind or rain to pull them off. We ended up using D-rings attached to the bus with well nuts, carabiner clips and a heavy duty tarp did the trick. Lots of tie outs are a must on windy days. Keep a set of telescoping poles too for emergencies. Also get yourself a 30amp plug to 120 adapter. $10 and it's worth every penny.
I never thought to use carabiners on the tarps. Great tip!
Steve you can use an extension cord plug-in to mount on the side of the bus so you don't need to run a cord through the window, it's clean looking and is water proof.
His school bus is the most Alberta camper you could have lol, I love it
OMG. This video has all the "Camping with Steve," highlights. The bus. Starting a fire with a propane-blow-torch. Rain. Over-priced-cheap-Canadian beer. Massive quantities of food, usually including ground beef. And of course, our perennial, Camping guide, STEVE!
Steve's Canadian beer = 3% alcohol maybe. Try a delicious US Voodo Pilot at 9%. It gets the job done without the bloat.
Only found this channel a few weeks back. I know everyone likes the stealth stuff but I just love camping. Haven't been for a while but watching these has given me that "I gotta go camping" feeling again....peace to ya Steve.
He is a saint and a scholar.
Steve is so restful, great company, no moaning all positivity 🇳🇿🤙
You can watch him for about a month straight on all his videos
Yeah I like the creative ways he camps and the stuff he builds. The stealth stuff actually I don’t care for as much. Sometimes it seems like he plays up the I almost got caught stuff too much. I also like the cooking segments.
Steve, you got style, you touch my heart.Thanks for being here.
Thank you for the kind words
"Disturbingly sunny"...haha...at times, those are my exact sentiments where I live. I love the rain, too, but at the very least a thick, gray cloud cover lasting all day could suffice.
Wholesome content in a crazy world, thanks Steve.
Hi Steve, love your videos. Pro tip for the potatoes: double wrap them in foil and stick them right in the coals! That's how I do mine it works really well.
I just loaded the same comment then saw yours, so I deleted mine. lol!
For how long? Approximately of course, for an average idaho baking potatoe.
@@ericcomp7032 at least three of four beers. Usually time is flying at that point and an unreliable unit of measurement
@@ericperreault3811 you crazy sonofabitch, I'm in!
That's the only way I've ever known to do baked potatoes. Yeah unfortunately you have to double wrap them now unless you specifically buy a real heavy duty tin foil they just don't make stuff like they used to.
Hi Steve this is Skippy, an Australian in England who loves the out doors. It is such a pleasure to get home from our business at night. Grab a GT and watch your adventures. I am sorry at your recent loss. So here is cheers to you mate. Its 5 o'clock somewhere. Best regards from Skippy. We love your videos.
The best way to BBQ ears of corn is with the shucks still on them. Place the whole unshucked ear of corn in a pot or container with cold water, add sugar for sweeter corn. Soak for 30 minutes, then drain. Place the ears directly over the hot coals. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes, or until husks are completely charred black. Remove from the grill, peel back the husks and remove the silk. Butter and season to taste.
You said it.. having a hard-sided shelter is such a great thing for a certain kind of camping. Never having to worry about an aggressive animal (especially when I'm traveling with my dog) or a big job tearing down camp is wonderful.
after a horribly stressful day i am SOOO glad i can come home to a step 2 and a hunker down video!
You and Steve are both a saint and a scholar.
The world would be a much better place if everyone just watched Camping with Steve
How about if the world would be a much better place if everybody would just take a chill go camping and relax for a weekend then there might be not be so much hatefulness in the world
If you like camping in cool, rainy weather, I'd suggest the Pacific Northwest. We've had a cool, wet Spring this year. I live in Oregon and the snow level last night got down to 4000 feet, so you might even get snow in the higher elevations. BC probably has been having some similar weather. Maybe the Kootenays, the Cascade Mountains or Vancouver Island would probably have similar conditions. Good luck!
The bed is looking great. We live in our bus in the Oregon rainforest. And have a woodstove too. Cheers. Blessings.
Where it says “watch your step” walking into your bus, I highly suggest you put the number 2 after that!! 😁😁
Thanks Steve
He did
At 8:32
A converted short bus is the perfect way to run from your problems, LOL.....now I want one.
We miss you steve, hope to see ya soon
This is my kind of camping! No cold ground , bugs or wildlife. Yep i like this. It will be fine.
Can't believe how close Steve is to 1 million subs right now. Just a matter of time, you deserve it man!
awesome setup, I could live out of that bus ALL summer!.
Not only do I love your videos but the fact that so many kind people leave helpful camping tips too. And just like many other comments, lol, I agree that your videos are so chill and relaxing,lol. No panic..all good 😊
Seeing a notification about a Steve upload makes Thursdays even better than when it was just payday! :-)
Steve's notification always reminds me tomorrow is Friday!!!!!
"Is this Camping anymore?" - We all totally love you Steve! That is my type of camping!!!!
I’m guessing you thought this video, with the missing scenes and all, wouldn’t garner much views. Just shows how we just like to see Steve doing his camping thing in the simplest form.
I find it fascinating that I always have my step two before Steve gets to step 1.
Can’t wait for the river trip this year! And also the treehouse is looking stellar!
My Thursday isn’t completed until I’ve camped with Steve! Love you brother keep it! ❤️
Pulling up to a liquor store in a school bus 😂😂 I’ve definitely seen it all now. I can’t even imagine the reactions of the people who saw you get back in with the beer 😂
That’s because the bus’s name is Further.
I’m not into camping (I am thinking about stepping into this field) but watching this video has made me want to not only get a CDL for school buses but most importantly makes me want to do a camping experience
Suggestion for the 'awning' situation. If you use a standard tarp that future replacements will always have the grommets in the same position. Then set it up one day at home with those magnets. Get it adjusted just where you like it. Then epoxy the magnet hooks to the bus. Just leave them there always permanently affixed for easy tarp attachment each time.
Steve & Mav uploaded at the time.. what a treat.
You are in our prayers Steve ❤
hey Steve, not sure if you've heard of this cooking method for corn or not but if you leave it in the husk and soak it with water, when you toss on a fire or grill it stems the corn inside the husk. very simple method for cooking corn on a fire. can also wrap in burlap soak with water and do the same thing, just thought id share!
