Hi everyone, happy St. Patrick's Day! The Rav4 has finally arrived, of course, I had to camp in it within 24 hours of getting the keys. I am actually packing right now as this video uploads so that we can hit the road for our video filming marathon ASAP.

It's not a crazy or ambitious video this week, just a basic, ordinary, usual, typical, normal, regular, traditional, standard, common car camping trip, but I'm very excited for the next few weeks of travel and videos. We now have reliable transportation!
Congrats on the new wheels!
Nothing wrong with that!!
Hey, buying a new car in this market? Sounds like crazy and ambitious to me!
You could camp in your own bedroom and you’d still find a way to make it enjoyable.
Can't wait to see the adventures that rig will take you and beautiful wife on! Much love Steve!! And Crazy neighbor!! Cheers! 🍻
"Size doesn't matter, Steve."
beautifully cut/edited
Don't forget " a car dealers plate"
I love that Steve gets a brand new car and IMMEDIATELY uses it as a tent.
Yeah. And it's not even licensed or insured. lol
@@jimkoval4725 licensed yes. Insured? Probably as well. Can't drive off the lot without the first and possibly the second.
@@electricheartpony Did you NOT watch the end of the video when he clearly states it's NOT insured yet and that he drove off the lot borrowing a Dealer Plate? Lol
Congrats on the new car Steve. Try not to stress too much if the content is breaking any barriers, we are here for you.
Anthony?? what u doing here lmao?
"Size doesn't matter Steve." -crazy neighbor. 🤣
camping video when?
buddy the content paid for that car
thats cool that you watch steves channel, was shocked when i seen your comment on here :)
I luv watching Steve's videos just before bed. They're not boring by any means, but I find them to be a good bedtime story. 😃
Helps me fall asleep
Exactly. Great vehicle! Congrats. 😀
So true... The U-Haul Van stealth camp is my go-to bedtime story LOL
Same!
Same here! 👍🏻👍🏻
Steve, you’re always crazy and ambitious, which is why your basic, ordinary, usual, typical, normal, regular, traditional, standard, common car camping trip is more than enough for a Thursday. Thanks bud, keep on keeping on.
Yes, well said !!
Word
Chill on the adjectives holy fuck
You guys are still my most favorite crazy Canadians. And, your relationship with Crazy-neighbor is endearing and just nice to see.
😂 I love how Steve’s still so awkward. He does intro & starts explaining new car. Then crazy neighbor enters the scene and throws Steve off his game. 😂
Steve “oh hey crazy neighbor!” Then immediately turns to the camera raises his arm and waves and says “Hey!” to us again, before remembering he already been there done that. 😂 Doesn’t even edit it out! Which I love! That’s the stuff that keeps me rolling! Always keeping it real!!
I think that was crazy neighbor saying hey back and Steve gesturing his thumb back towards the car :) but yeah I agree, I love the personality and the vibes. Steve could literally be doing something boring like grocery shopping and I'd love to watch 😂
Crazy neighbour saying size doesn’t matter Steve has made my whole night 😂😂 he’s such a legend you’re right my man
I started cackling and woke up my wife lol
that was great! i def laughed out loud!
Crazy neighbour is the best! 🤣😂 Pure gold ✨
i read this comment before I heard him say that LMAO
@@gthetree1 Dude me too! She's asleep and it's 2am and I laughed so much but had to be quiet, it was difficult!
I can only imagine Steve at the dealership laying in the back of the car like "ah yes, for a single gentleman this'll be a fine accommodation"
the oddest thing about that statement is that all the references to a supposed wife indicate he's NOT a single gentleman
I thought Steve was married? Did I miss something? If so I'm really sorry bud. Been there and it sucks more than camping in a rain storm without gear or a tent.
@@williamstamper442 He’s married to beautiful wife. I’m guessing when Alex says “single” it’s regarding his singular person camping in back!
Who doesn't check an make sure a body will fit in the back before buying a car?
@@covidnineteen4304 or at least the trunk lol 😆
Get a roll of reflectix and cut out pieces for your windows. Keeps the warmth in and you get a little more privacy. They also sell window screens you put over your whole door and you can roll the window down without the bugs getting in once its warmer out.
Imagine being Steve. Stealth camping, humble, step two-ing, and having crazy neighbor as a best friend. Life can't get any better.
I think you are one of the most humble people on this platform. I'm glad for your success 🌟
That is well said!
Sometimes he can be a prick to crazy neighbor , but the subscriber comments lit him up for doing that. He’s been better to him since . You don’t mess with crazy neighbor ; not cool.
@John I hear you are doing very well, congrats!
Congrats on the new vehicle! The RAV4 is awesome. The wife and I have one and we love it.
Congrats to you and your wife too then 🍺
I congratulate you all
LMAO🙃
I’ve got a 2015 RAV4 and love it. No issues yet and it’s a tank. The new looking models look way more bad ass though! Congrats! Great idea getting a hitch too
The good vibes on this channel is unmatched
I work graveyard shift. My shift is 12 hours with 2 1-hour breaks. I sleep during my breaks. I bought an air mattress that fits in the back of my LR after months of just sleeping on the bare deck. Man. What a difference! I used it for the first time last night and it was great! Slept like a baby. Your vlog inspired me to step my game up. Thanks Steve!
Congrats on your new car Steve... The RAV4 is really awesome 👍. I am happy to watch this video where i paid in full for my first car ( in cash ).... Congrats once more Steve 🎉☀️
Impressive:) Congratulations to you Paul, you need a lot of cash to own a car now you did it. Congrats once more!!!
@@michelle-rose thank you I really appreciate !
@@paulweber4409 congratulations to you Paul
@@paulweber4409 I'm inspired currently saving to buy my car too this means a lot to me at this point. Can you kindly share some tips on how you improved your finance
@@avinashbowers8618 Here are some tips that helped me ;)
1. Plan towards it
2. Be frugal and minimal on spending ( don't buy what you don't need )
3. Save money towards retirement ( Roth IRA/401K)
4. Build an emergency fund
5. Save to invest , it's a proven way to get richer. Very important to financial success : )
You know it’s a good day when both Foresty Forest and Steve uploads a video on the same day!!! Cheers!
oooh, I gotta check his out
Both with something new!
He's so depressed. I wish I could help or hug him. Hopefully Rocko revives him.
@@matf4505 Any reason or is it youtube burnout? He's been burnt out for like a year.
Love that you say if you are starting out camping, that it's fine to sleep in your car. There is no right/correct way to camp. The main point is just getting out into nature and enjoying yourselves.
As much as like watching for the camping spots, I'm also interested in the meals that Steve prepares for each outing. Some great ideas for quick, hearty, and seemingly tasty food.
what do you think elk? it wasn't me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite part of his meal prepping is watching him slicing and dicing so perfectly and easily! Keen knives and practice make flavors mix evenly. 🔪🔪
Congrats on the new ride. Also, they make “clamp on” style roof rails for that vehicle. No drilling required. E trailer and a few other sites should have them. Also, you could get a hitch carrier if you didn’t want the extra wind resistance, noise etc. of the roof rack. Don’t drill into the new ride!
Agreed! I got a Rhino Rack recently and I love it. No drilling, fit is on point. Highly recommend! I ordered it somewhere in Van.
Good call!!! I bought an aluminum one for my brother a few years back from harbor freight and it worked great for him.
Yakima and Thule racks are the ones I've seen.
I hope he sees this comment! a hitch is a good idea
Congratulations on the new car
Got to love Steve ability to stay regular old Steve. This man is closing in on 1 million subs pretty quickly and is talking about repairing a $20 Walmart chair. 🤣🤣
Another reason why we love him
As far as I know he hasn't monetized the channel, I turned off my adbocker and there's no ads. So I don't think he actually makes money from youtube, he doesn't do sponsored vids etc.
@@cathalfolan8441 RUclips is his full time job.
@@cathalfolan8441 Steve DEFF has his channel monetized...
nothing like sitting around a campfire, by yourself, food cooking over the fire, and that lonesome train horn in the distant, i would be a sleep so fast. have fun, be safe.
1:38 5:04 Crazy neighbor doesn't talk much, but his contributions to your videos are always priceless.
Especially now.
I'm just picturing Steve talking with the car salesman who's trying to give sales point on fuel efficiency, leg room etc... And Steve just be like : Yeah but, could i live in this ?
My last vehicule purchase I did the same test of sleeping possibility with the back seats down. And it was well that I did so, as last summer with some work cowlleeges we had a dayhike and then a cookout at the trailhead and somebody cracked out way too much booze (legal or tolerated at some trailhead cookouts-places here in Europe)... having driven alone and nobody else going my way to act as designated dr*** I adapted to the situation and did an SUV sleepout, for which I was ok with what I keep at all times in my SUV and with my day-pack for the day-hike. Tolerance for consuming booze at trailhead cookout does not translate into tolerance for driving 2 hours home all boozzed-upp. So I got to enjoy the view of the trailhead area at dawn and have some of my day-pack emergency coffee and food for breakfast warmed on my pocket-r and titanium 650ml cup--- not bad at all.
It’s important to know your bare minimum needs!
I know! Love that picture in my head
Steve you're literally the highlight of my week when you post a video. Seasonal depression isn't fun but your videos are
Any depression isn't fun.
Hey, classic Irish Ale,that's a proper standard found in real Irish pubs throughout our beautiful little country, nice one guys, and yes Steve you pronounced it correctly.👍👍🇮🇪
This is and has been my favorite channel on RUclips for years at this point. Never knew a thing about stealth camping or camping in general, but these videos bring me great joy. You’re one of a kind brother.
Hey Steve. For roof rails check out Yakima or Thule. They make custom attachments and rails for any make/model
Thule is good stuff
Yep and they’re no-drill!!!
I was going to suggest that. Some roof rails are detachable and don't install with holes in your roof.
Thule makes good stuff.
They're a tad expensive, however other than the four feet that attach with no drilling you can reuse all the other parts on any car! There are bike, kayak, canoe, etc. attachments for the rails so you can carry all of your gear with you. Just remember to get the keyed alike locks!
Love your channel Steve everytime I see a new episode its like seeing an old friend your very friendly and mellow.
Love how crazy neighbour always says hello with his arm gesture. Also fairplay Steve on the stew 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪. A Irish stew is lamb but we usually just use any meat at home ,improvise nothing wrong eith it
Hey Steve! Love your videos! My husband and I have been watching your videos for years and you are just the nicest guy with such a great sense of humor. We both love Crazy Neighbor and Beautiful Wife. As a former teacher, I completely get not wanting to be seen on RUclips but I do wish we could meet her. I hope everything is going well with the house and boat!
Have you considered making a blog of all of your camping recipes that you have found and used or made up? You could also add another part that has camping gear you like/dislike. We're trying to get into camping here in the US and would love to see your thoughts/opinions on recipes and gear all in one place. Thanks again for making us smile every week!
Instead of the roof basket, for a quick solution you could get a hitch mounted cargo carrier for your trailer hitch, use a fair size tote on the back so you can still get around or on top to access the back for gear and or bed space. Nice new ride guys! I hope you can find a roof rail and rack solution
This is a good alternative solution. I would not want to be drilling holes in the roof of my new vehicle.
That is a really good suggestion and I had to let you know. Keep crushing ‘em, brother!
Glad someone said this, was going to suggest it too.
Worst case, he could also get a small utility trailer to pull behind, the only problem being it may limit where he can go if he really plans on taking it off pavement.
Northern Tool sells a nice aluminum rack for the back. Good size and doesn’t block brake lights.
Good idea, hope Steve considers this before drilling into his roof!
"I think my tires are bigger than yours!"
"..." *looks* "Size doesn't matter, Steve."
&
"What do think this was, elk?"
"Wasn't me!"
ROFL That got me but good! You two are always a blast!
Refers to his 6 spoke hubcaps as 5 spoke 😂
😂🤣😂🤣
Buddy so sorry to hear of your loss! God bless you love you and your videos
I have an 8-year-old RAV4 and love it. I have thought Steve could do a whole series of "Stealth Camping Chef" videos.
If somebody steals my *car* outside of my door right now, *I don't care.*
You know, *I can't be bothered with that.*
The only thing I would do is have my secretary call the insurance agency and then laugh about it.
If only we all got along like Steve and Neighbor. Cheers 🥂
Got some grilled cheese, hotdogs, and can chili to enjoy while hunkering down to watch your camping.
I feel that I am of the opinion of many viewers that we watch for you and it doesn't matter how basic or elaborate the adventure is.
100 percent agree.
3 things heard in every camping with Steve video.
1. Time for a step 2.
2. Time to hunker down.
3. Shoulda broughta _______.
Lol. Love it!
Steve,
You probably won’t respond to me. But you are my favorite RUclipsr of all time. These videos have helped me deal with some tough times and I can’t thank you enough. Keep up the great work my friend.
Hey Steve, just wanted to let you know that Yakima Racks actually makes a system that you can utilize without the mounting points on your car. It is either the baseline or ridgeline system I believe and it’s for cars with naked roofs or flush mounted side rails. I’ve got them on my car and they work great. The towers sit on top of the roof and clamp inside the top of the doorframe and there aren’t any issues closing the door or anything like that.
For sure. I have the same Thule system on my Corolla. Very sturdy.
Every time I start to complain about it being too cold or rainy or snowy to camp, I just have to watch a Steve video to see him having fun in any weather condition.
When pouring a rectangular container, carton or can, pour with the opening up, it will avoid the splashing. Since the air coming into the container, that displaces the liquid inside needs a pathway, if the opening is plugged by the liquid coming out, the air forces its way in by making bubbles in the container, causing the liquid to splash out instead of pouring out, in a smooth fashion.
Congratulations on the new car.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.
בס'ד
The new car looks great, with a nice choice of tires so she's ready for some off-road action. I love watching every little adventure that you capture on film for us, thank you Sir!
RE: roof rack- a solution is right in front of you. The new car has a trailer hitch and, if I remember correctly, your bus had a trailer hitch deck attached to it. Just move it over to this vehicle. Strap on a tote or two and you are good to go.
Or just pull a small trailer behind you so you can take more stuff and easier to put away instead loading it on roof and having to straping it down and the other hole way home worrying about something falling off
Steve my wives CRV didn't have anchor points but Thule makes a clamp kit that doesn't require drill that we use for kayaks and more. It might be worth looking into for your situation. Nice car!
Steve,
Thank you so much for making these videos. They've become almost daily watches for our family. The kids. Love you. I know it's not your intent but your videos have become the best remedy for my kids when they don't feel well and can't fall asleep. We lay in bed together and watch one episode. There's something about your demeanor that just helps them calm down and drift off to sleep. They love your videos. Keep up the great work. Know that you are appreciated.
Always a pleasure seeing crazy neighbor
A "regular camping" video from Steve is still the best. I've had a couple step 2's and now I'm cooking. Thanks for the inspiration 😁
Same, mate.
Enjoy your new car and upcoming trip Steve. Crazy Neighbour never disappoints.
crazy neighbor is a good addition. Hope to see him again in the future videos. Don't leave him out for too long. Thanks Steve. Also nice car.
Steve cooking a “Chef John” recipe. Incredible.
You are after all the Steve Wallis of your stewed beef with guinness
We don't mind the regular car camp on campsite at all Steve. Especially with a nice beef stew that goes along with it! Looking forward to maybe a stealth camp in it? 😏😏😏
"If you're going to buy a car, make sure it's one you can live in." Words to live by because you never know when you might have to rely on a vehicle for emergency or permanent shelter. A van will arguably be your best bugout vehicle, so comforting to know that you always have a dry, warm, comfortable place to sleep.
You could get divorced and lose your house, happens all the time
I'm screwed if that happens, I have a Toyota Yaris (Echo in the US)
@@ASBO_LUTELY we have they yaris in the us. its kinda funny looking but I hear it gets great gas mileage. do the rear seats not fold down?
Something with good mpg too
got a wrangler with a comfy setup in back :)
Steve: " Someone order the dinner for ten?"
Literally Me every time I cook food for the fam.🤦♂️ ( Gotta make sure there's enough right.) 🤣🤣
Another fantastic camping adventure.🏕Congrats on the new vehicle!!👍👍👍
Cheers!!🍻
Damn it, Steve, I love this channel so much! Here’s to being my, and many others, port in a storm.
15:55 Steve you are not just camping, you do Stealth Camping and thats Awesome!
Hey Steve, I've always liked the videos where you did actual cooking. I mean I think it makes for great camping. Weird camping locations or set ups and cooking on the fly. Maybe actually coming up with a good meal. Great content man. Huge fan.
Hey! I have an AWESOME and easy camping recipe for you! We fix it for dinner at the house all the time. It's a childhood favorite of my wife's:
1 lb of ground beef (browned)
Add to it:
1 can red enchilada sauce
1 can green chiles
1 can cream of mushroom soup (can't taste it! Acts as a binder.)
dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 can chili hot beans (NOT kidney beans)
Let that all warm up together and melt as much mozzarella on top as you want.
SERVE WITH FRITOS
That's it! Just dump it, stir it, heat it, and eat it!
Brilliant can't wait for this one pal, my escapism 👍👍
steve needs to meet steve
Frfr
Great video. Thanks for the upload, Steve! Wishing you safe travels and I’m looking forward to the next ones!!
Keep in mind, roof racks can have a big effect on fuel use. One of the biggest advantages of a new vehicle is the clean aero profile. Removing seats might be easier for you too, to add cargo space
Lots of great places to camp here on the island. Once you get away from the lower island (Nanaimo and southeast), the sky is the limit for places to camp.
You do have to watch the logging roads as the potholes are deep, trucks flying down them from dawn to dusk and Mosaic has a habit of locking the entrance gates from time to time on their active roads.
The seats in the rav4 don’t lay flat. There is a 6-7” difference from cargo area to top of back seats. I built plywood carpeted platform to make it level. A must for anyone with back issues.
Honda magic seats much better for camping
Congrats on the new whip Steve. You deserve it!
Nobody is in the campground Steve because it's winter!!! But car camping is wonderful, congratulations on the new ride! Can't wait for the BC videos!!
Just what I needed on a cold winter night in the UK 😁 I'll be car campimg again tomorrow!
Congrats on the new car! First rule of campfires, Steve: smoke follows beauty. It's just a burden you're gonna have to bear.
Steve, your channel is blowing up! Love your videos man, I enjoy a Step 2 as soon as I get home from work and watch your videos. Cheers and God bless
Not far off a million, I remember when he'd just broken the 100k mark. If anyone deserves it, it's Steve.
Crazy Neighbor: "I brought the bbq for ya!"
Steve: "I'm making a stew."
Crazy Neighbor: "A stew."
Now we know why Crazy Neighbor didn't stay!
You're having stew?.... 🤔well goodbye Steve my feet are wet and stuff, time to go home.
He learned his lesson not to overdue it with the guiness. I want to try this recipe one day
Other than that, I'm happy with a good stew. You can always gave enough meat to satisfy you
So good to see you again Steve! Another great one. Thursdays aren't complete without camping with Steve. I absolutely love your channel. Congratulations on the new car. 👍😁 By the way Steve... You sure are an amazing cook!
Steve, you just started hitting your stride about 4 years ago when you were living in that campground while going to school. My first child was born during that time and I remember being up late watching those videos. I’m so happy to see how far you have come.
Thanks for the video content Steve, your channel is a break and refreshing from 'much' of what we find on bushcraft etc. You folks will really enjoy the RAV4 we are on our second one and it is the Trail Edition. Great vehicles. As always loved the video keep it up, look out 1 million subscribers here Steve comes!!
Honestly I love these straight to the point videos. Especially car camping
Steve - they make roof racks for cars that don’t have rails. Thule, Yakima - you don’t need to drill into the roof!
Exactly!
Thule Clamp Edge looks like it may work. I would email them to ask tho. Found this on a forum and thought I would pass it along.
I work at a REI in Southern California, and my store could easily install a new rack system for ya Steve! There aren't any REIs in Canada, but if there is a MEC near where you live, I'm sure they can help you out! It may set you back about $1000 however. New roof rack systems are not cheap.
Thule works grate!
Thyme: 9 tablespoons. Pepper: Just shake the container above the Dutch oven, that should do it. Salt: 1/2 teaspoon. That should do it!
Yeah adding that much thyme I was expecting a wormhole to open
Love you steve, two years now and I dont ever get bored of your content ☝️
Nothing like watching Steve just enjoying life. These videos are a wonderful antidote to the craziness in the world. Keep it up Steve you utter legend! 😊
You can’t go wrong with a RAV4, Toyota in general really.
LOL "size doesn't matter steve" you guy together are do funny!!
Hey Steve! My rav4 also came without roof racks unfortunately. As an alternative, I got a cargo rack that fits into the trailer hitch. It fits 3 large totes or gas cans. I love it! There’s no extra wind resistance so I barely notice it on the cars gas mileage. Good luck!!
Classic! You and C.N. had some great lines that made me LOL. Thanks as usual for sharing your adventures. Be safe on the upcoming trip.
Camping with Steve is a nice break from the chaos!
Our favorite camper and a crazy neighbor love u steve cheers . my birthday is on Monday would love a shout out . the big 41
Hey Steve, you might look into vacuum suction cup roof racks. They work really well, and don't do any damage to the vehicle and there is no drilling.
Where can you buy them?
@@expressivepets1 look up sea suckers
You two are great to watch, greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
My god, Foresty Forest drops a video after a break and Steve Wallis drops video early.
My day CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.
Positive changes for both
Steve, I actually bought a Motor Cycle Pull Behind Trailer to fit all of my 'glamping' gear into and since you have a trailer hitch - I'd say you're good to go. Definitely investigate the pull behind trailers for Motor Cycles - they're small (but hold a lot of gear) and they don't cost a fortune.
A lot of people don't think of these wonderful trailers because they're always imagining the big 6 foot by 4 foot wide square type things - so, do a search on the pull behind trailers - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
One note however, is that the trailer may not necessarily be suitable for your stealth camping excursions...
Love it whenever Glenn appears in your videos!
Everyone deserves a friend like crazy neighbor. What a guy. Love the videos!
Wahey Steve, your the man! I’m ordering your hoody’s this week. Hunker down. Also you should do some merchandise that says “it doesn’t get any better than this!!” Take care, Steve, crazy neighbour and beautiful wife. 🇬🇧 🇨🇦
"The cheapest, legal bacon, you can buy" is a heck of a line
I'm sure that no one on this planet has said that before. 🤔
Steve, the last 3 vehicles I’ve bought I have put the seats down and lied in the back during the test drives. I bought 2 Matrixes and a Sportage. Congratulations on your new rig. Looking forward to see more camping! You are a inspiration.
You are so lucky to have a good buddy like crazy neighbour. Cheers have a good trip.
Happy St Patrick's Day, Steve. It's good to see you and Crazy Neighbour savouring our Irish beverages, Smithwicks and Guinness, today. Congratulations on your new car. May you enjoy driving it, and travel safely in it. Great video. Thank you.
When spicing food, Steve believes, "Nothing succeeds like excess."
LOL, I’ve never seen a stew recipe that says “1/2 jar of minced garlic”. Go get ‘em Steve.
I cover my food in a 1/4 inch layer of a 6 herb and spice mix every time. its the only way to eat! no salt though. half a jar of garlic minimum for that meal, could of gone whole jar
Watching Steve camp in the snow while I'm in NW Europe on my balcony basking and a warm early spring sun.
“Size doesn’t matter, Steve”-Crazy Neighbor with the auto of the day!
Congrats on the new car! Can't wait to see all the adventures you take it on.
