  • $30 hammock, $20 tarp. Cheap gear camping with a big storm blowing through. It was a blast! I stayed fairly warm as long as I didn't go to far from the sleeping bag. It actually snowed through the night.
    Today's meal was Hamburger Soup with some winter ale and fresh tray buns. It was a night of camping to remember!

    Steve just camps in a random place, for one night, in a random shelter. Then he has a drink, cooks and eats some food, and sleeps. No real action. Yet I can't stop watching.

    He does not use all the fancy expensive equipment, he does not have amazing bushcraft skills, and the food he cooks is simple.
    But that’s what makes it so special, there is the saying “all the gear and no idea” but with Steve it’s “Simple gear and some idea” there are not many out there like Steve, he’s cut from a different cloth.

    Hi Steve, I notice this video is a couple years old. I've been watching you for about a year now, and I know you've learned a lot. I just want to mention something I've learned in camping across the country. When you build your fire, find and place two flat-top rocks beside the fire, spaced apart by about 2/3 the width of your pan, with the spaced area in a channel facing the fire. Once you get some coals, scoop some of them between the rocks. Now you can place your pan on the rocks and cook. At the same time you can put more wood on your original fire without disturbing your cooking, which gives you more light and heat. The coals will cook your food without covering your pans with soot, so you'll have easier cleanup. If you can't find rocks, a couple wet semi-rotten logs will work as well. Your meal will be long cooked before they catch fire.

      It's weird. Canadian Tire sells a lot of the same stuff as the other big box store's. I think the difference is, the others focus on high profile, seasonal products. Canadian Tire always seems to have other stuff too! What ever you need - hardware, paint, sporting goods, appliances, housewares, woodstoves, A/C, and of course a complete auto center; with tires. Not to mention tarps in all sizes - to cover a bucket, or to cover your house.

    took a couple of my buddies camping in Utah a few years ago on a 4th of July weekend. it started out terrible, too many people, to many kids, too crowded, etc. then it started raining. everyone packed up an left. we spent the night in my pop up camper listening to the rain, drinking beer, and playing cards. the next day 90% of the people were packed up and gone. it rained a couple of hours and then stopped and the sun came out. we pretty much had the place to ourselves after that. we fished and camped all weekend and had a great time. I still love camping in the rain. also here is another trick for you, take some matchlight charcoal with you, you can light it up and then stick the wood on top of it to start a fire. it works great for wet weather fire starting when all the wood is damp. and you can cook on it if you have too.

    I like this channel.
    It's nice to have the kind of stealth camping etc content I'm interested without backhanded shilling and SHTF fear mongering.
    To think I've watched 4 of your videos now and not once have you told me that I'm going to die of exposure if I don't buy a specific knife...
    Also, as an Englishman, just in case you do actually want to know out of curiosity: It's pronounced "Wuss-ter-sheer" sauce.

      Ummm you should probably stop watching prepping channels then.... there are hundreds of bushcraft and camping UA-camrs that don't mention prepping in any way. Heck, TA Outdoors is one of them.
      However, for pure, cozy camping, Steve is the best.

    Awesome video, you are only the second person on you tube that we have watched who has mentioned and actually cleared the leaves around where you lit your fire and as Australians, it means allot to see this in videos. Our fire danger here, both during summer and winter can be extreme and when the total fire bans hit, we can't even use certain open flame stoves. If we do light anything, we have to clean 2 metres as a minimum from the edge of the fire and this is even using gas stoves. Thank you for a great channel. We enjoy watching all your videos.

    Bout a year late to this but I will say, I think you're a really likable person and you just seem so content with everything. I appreciate that a lot and I think you have a lot of potential in your UA-cam vlogging career! Keep up the good content and happy camping!
