Disguised Truck Stealth Camping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- A makeshift camper disguised as landscaping debris made a great little camping spot for the night. I camped out in a small town by a lake. The camper was just made with 4 pallets, 2 boards, 3 tarps, and some rachet straps. I crawled into the camper from the back of the truck and had a small mattress and some cooking equipment for a quick and easy meal.

In all the years of Steves camping I have to say this one has to be in the top 10 for originality.
Wow, thank you 😊
Agreed! (But for me, nothing has topped the "Camping is Closer Than You Think" billboard stealth camping. So far.. )
@@libraryanne2392 The billboard ones are great. The other two that stuck out to me were the camping behind the police station and the donation box.
@@billping2633…classics!
Agreed!
This is like an idea you have as a kid but can't carry out because they don't have a car nor can they drive.
Glorious.
reminds me of the stuff they make on the red green show
@@sclarin2😂😂😂❤
@@sclarin2loved that show!
Keep your stick on the ice....remember we're all in this together.....ah I miss duct tape corner
@@MrPick71 damn that just took me back 😢🥲❤️
Imagine walking back to your car and you hear a bundle of branches say “Today we’re having chopped up sausage, broccoli and rice” 😂 love you Steve
The trees speak Vietnamese
💯😆
Imagine smelling the food being cooked , not knowing where
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
This was Steve reminding all the stealth campers that have popped up recently that he's still the GOAT.
Most of us can be crafty, but this level of dedication is hard to match.
What exactly is he hiding from? I don't get it. "Hey who's cooking sausage in there!" 😂 nobody cares
@@seewhatisee8750 You'd be surprised. Steve was actually homeless for awhile and had to struggle to stay safe. It's sad but there are people out there who are just really mean.
@@seewhatisee8750 I don't get it either. It just seems creepy.
@@AlphaFoxAdamSteve’s been through a ton in the past 3 years for you to just pop in with ignorance.
It’s clearly a constantly changing creative venture with no ill intent. He did it alongside his wife, his best friend, and lost them both in the span of 2 years. This is how he feels closest to them.
Tired of stealth camping in the bush? take the bush with you!.
This is absolutely genius.
🤣🤣🤣
Looks like a homeless man’s camper.
😅
We need this on t-shirt
Possibly THE BEST stealth camping idea I've seen, yet
Ditto!
TESTIFY!
A top 10 for sure!
This guy never ceases to amaze me.😀
Gold
Hanging up a camo mosquito net inside the base layer might improve the bug situation, but really, this is absolute stealth perfection.
Maybe hang the hammock low so you're actually sleeping on the mattress?
NO HE WILL RUN OUT OF OXYGEN AND SUFFOCATE ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HIM? LIKE, WTF!
@@tc7009run out of oxygen because of a mosquito net??
@@tc7009Good try robot!
@@Frank-v8e1o This video is awesome as a proof of concept. We await your improved version & video.
That cracked windshield and hanging rearview killed it 😂😂😂😂😂
Steve single-handedly revolutionizing the stealth camping game
One day stories will be told of his legendary stealthiness
It's happening already!
I was thinking you might need some screening hooked to the inside of it if you do it again …
💯🔥
I'm going to chisel this design in stone, for future civilisations to advance quicker.
post apocalyptic bards will sing of his glory
“I want to explore the limits of absurdity.” The perfect Steve Wallis catchphrase if I ever heard one! :)
He shouldn't go that far for that.
The God sees and remembers everything then there will be the Judgment. "So, you're stating that you ain't prostitute, but the faithful wife of anonymous trinity of the Husband? I'm so sorry about that unfortunate misunderstanding, ma'am..."
@@AlexejSvirid🤷♂️
Who would have thought that watching a grown man get up to so many shenanigans would be so addictive to watch. Thanks again Steve.
Steve is a genuine and likeable guy, him sleeping in weird places and under weird circumstances is absolutely mesmerizing, but I think people are more into it cause they just love watching a nice guy doing his own thing.
Steve's freer than most, and free men are fascinating
@@jttech44You are one also...all choice 👍👍
"They don't have to be pretty, but they have to be ugly."
That's a quote for the ages
Steve, this has to be one of your best stealth camping ideas
Crazy Neighbor is looking down with a big smile on his face
I said to my husband that Crazy Neighbour would have loved this one!
Crazy neighbor passed away too?? Whaaaaaaa
Crazy neighbor died? I haven't seen a Steve video for quite a while.
@@RainForestLeDoux sadly he did.
😢😢😢I didn't know either.. I remember his wife's passing.. what a wonderful strong real man Steve is. God bless him, his loved ones and all his devoted follwers@@RainForestLeDoux
Often imitated but never duplicated. The undisputed King of the Stealthers!!!
It's crazy how you can feel like friends with someone you've never met or probably will never meet but you've got a friend with Steve , All the best !
It’s called a parasocial relationship ❤️
True, he has that special personality
I feel the same way! I wonder if he knows how much love there is for him out here in the world? People who he's never met, but who just love him! 😍🥰
It's odd for the RUclipsr as well. You meet people, and they know you like old friends, but you've never met them. Very strange feeling.
Yeah and mourn the loss of one. I had so many tears in my eyes when crazy neighbour passed.
A drunk tells his wife "I tree branch spoke to me today, on my way home from the bar". "Of course it did dear"🌿🍺😂
No matter how crappy my day is, a camping with Steve video will always make it a great day
Absolutely! We love you.
It makes my whole week when I see there's a new video❤🎉
Yeah same here. It's the relaxing and authentic nature, which is very rare to find.
I feel that.
Watch 1 every night before bed now. Helps with my anxiety, depression and insomnia which is causing the anxiety and depression 😂.
I can imagine people walking by the truck thinking, "This is the most delicious smelling pile of yard waste I've ever smelled! I get hints of broccoli and sausage!" 😂
I think a "Hunker Down and Cook" cookbook would be awesome. All these incredible meals prepared while camping!
YES!
Yes, please!
When i travel and make food on the road i always remember Steve’s cooking
Steve's Hunker Down Meals for 1 that feed 4!
I’d buy it just for fun and to support.
This is like the adult version of when you would build a fort as a kid, except it's on wheels and hides in plain sight. Complete masterpiece.
Brilliant. I never in a million years would have looked at a truck of yard waste and ever thought, there's a potential stealth Steve camp. Well done sir.
Agreed, this is amazing.
I have started looking everywhere wondering if Steve could or would camp there🤔🤣
@@chuckles7524 yeah same lmao, and im in texas, no way steve would camp here, right?
Thanks ;)
Only Steve could cook a gourmet dinner in a brush pile. Love it!
he's probably the only dude who will bring a full size kitchen appliance while stealth camping..
Steve Wallis is the very definition of Stealth Camping, no one else comes close. Entertaining fun content! We Love you Steve!
Thanks so much :)
He's the OG for sure...!
@@tommyebay The GOAT of stealth camping. Probably the one who made it so popular for other RUclipsrs.
When I need my faith in humanity restored I come and read Steve’s comment section. This is the best community ever. All thanks to you, Steve!
Good lord that's a huge gorgeous space... The only problem is the 2A.M. snoring coming from a load of yard waste...😂😂😂
And the rain and mosquitoes other than that it is perfect
Snoring and farting 😂😂😅
I had to stop using hostel because of both @renevallejo1014
No, that's the saw!
Yeh bears
This is such a good idea. So glad to see some glitter returning to your eyes after everything you've been through. We love you, Steve!
Thank you so much!!
We all love you Steve ❤
Agreed!!!!
Thanks Steve. A wonderful stealth camp idea. Its always a pleasure watching your channel.
Love you Steve ❤
I've taken a 1-2 hour nap in the middle of the day in the back of my work van for 6 years. I've learned people DO NOT ask questions when you are in a marked work van with ladders on top.
exactly, no one thinks twice about it. The only downside is criminals that might wanna find stuff to steal, although in this case garden waste and tarps aren't very lucrative.
Next up a white panel van with "Two Guys From Quantico" painted on the side with a bunch of antennas mounted to the roof. Or maybe "Flowers By Irene".
My dad used to work downtown toronto for a phone company, as a walking crew. Oh the places a man with a tool belt can just boldly enter and go :) He is always curious about every hallway and door in every building we go into 😂
@@ESPSJ
2 hour nap ! That's a nights sleep for me..😂
Stapling screen material inside the pallets and finding a way of gasketing the pallets to the window could really help the bug situation. I love the ingenuity of this one!
Every time I am stressed I watch Steve. So relaxing with his soothing voice. He is the Bob Ross of stealth camping!
😂
Great analogy. 👍
Definitely, I'm so happy to have found his channel years ago!!! and was hooked ever since!!! and love it!!!!
so true!!!
You totally hit the nail on the head! He IS like the Bob Ross of stealth camping!
steve looks like he walked right out of the hippie days of the 60s-70s. keep living and loving life steve, thanks for all that you do
Peace
Steve, I did nine hours at work today, then five hours helping my brother in law move a 400 pound one piece pool table he bought on FB marketplace, got my kid fed then took him back to his mothers house, it’s now 1am and I finally got to sit down for dinner, saw you had a new video, and I found you with THIS, you built what looks like a booth at Olive Garden but one you can sleep in located in the back of your pickup. Absolutely the thing a kid dreams of when building a fort. Love the hair game, love your videos, love you, THANK YOU for doing what you ALWAYS do which is take me away from my life for a little while and help remind me of doing the things I dreamed about as a kid. Camping in crazy places.
Sounds like one heck of a busy day, my friend! Some of those delicious bread sticks would definitely have been a nice addition to the meal. Thanks for your dedication! Cheers :)

@@LOC2525_= Low life, Enjoy.
@@LOC2525_ Why don't you do everyone a favor and grow up?
@@bcsurvivor4713 Just jokes. I love Steve and his content.
This has been my life since the beginning of the year. I urban stealth camp in my sedan since escaping an abusive situation. When I crawl in the back, I go head first. And when I crawl to the front, I go feet first. It's a twisting technique.
Good luck. May life get easier for you. All the best. 🌼
Was anyone else impressed how easily he scooted through that window? Well done Steve!!
Steve is one smooth criminal!.
Steve Wallis - living every 12-year-old’s dream, one stealth camping adventure at a time ⛺️ I’ve been watching you since the beginning and you just keep upping your own game - GOAT.
Thanks for being a tried and true 😉
@@campingwithsteve Thank YOU for all the adventures 💙
It's a truly brilliant disguise, but it's also a talking, snoring, glowing pile of branches that smells like broccoli. Always good to see you, Steve! 😃
🤣😅👍
😂😂😂
LOL! I was thinking that too. Mom, mom, mooom, the bush is talking!
Steve " Never leaves us hanging " !!! Branching out while bugging out !!! You're so creative, and continue entertaining the viewers. When the smoke clears, Steve is branches ahead on " The Stealthy Gauge " !!! I keep watching as you seamlessly and stealthily deceive us with your presence. Always, Syn Silver.
Condolences about crazy neighbour .Probably didnt need it after other troubles . He was like a companion and mentor in one . Ive lost close friends and relatives suddenly and wonder why . All the best
This parking lot is getting fuller, and fuller.... What to do? Crawl in back, and start cooking! You have once again made the world a little bit better
Oh my gosh I thought the same thing!
I love that you are still hanging in there and doing this for you and all of us. For those who don't know your story, I won't mention it here, but I appreciate you so much. I take inspiration from you Steve.
Thank you for powering through the hurt and bringing people like me so much joy Steve. You are awesome, and you have all of us!
Well written. Agreed. Steve you are awesome
Steve takes camping to a whole nother level!
it is his job, source of income
@@Sig509I think he owns an HVAC company.
@@Sig509 How awesome to get paid for something you actually love doing . Good for him.
I tried watching other videos to learn more about camping and I can't undo the feeling of betrayal that kicks in knowing it's not Steve!! Watching Camping with Steve with all the ''hunkering down'', ''the step twos'' and the whole range of culinary treats is what gets a real hold on me!! It makes it undeniably special and unique. Stealthiness master mode on means Steve Wallis masterminding an improvised shelter on the back of a truck covered in bushes trimmed off his sidewalk and a bunch of pallets well put together under a tarp! Can it get better than this?? hahaha Definitely the best episode of ''Camping with Steve'' !
Awesome of you to say, thanks :)
When I was homeless and living in a tent with my autistic son in 18 I found this channel. I'm still grateful.
@ jill . I hope you and your son are doing better.
I was homeless at one time too.
@@tropicanajuice2438 getting there. Biden set us back a bit.
@@jillcooper6371he set us all back. Thank you for your courage!
@jillcooper6371 what did biden do to set you back?
@@VeggiesOutFront oooooo look someone with no judgement come to try and be self righteous. No thank you. I gave it at the office.
I agree with everyone who commented positively about the "camouflage." This is an ingenious idea. The hanging, broken mirror adds to the "junk-mobile" facade.
Larry from Texas
Lone Star Larry!
Facade? Didn't you see the rust? I'll bet the frame is half gone!
@@jondurr But it is half there!
I was scrolling looking for anyone mentioning the mirror! I work in auto parts and am thinking $4 kit will fix that lol.
All my exes live in Texas!
0:05 perfection already.
Truly
Agree
Chuck Boris
1:25 I literally cu mmed 😂
If you quit drinking, I commend you Steve.
I’m 5 years in, to waking up one day and not wanting the bottle anymore.
Been watching you since the beginning, and will continue to watch till the end.
God bless brother, if your ever in Maine, you got an awesome place to stealth camp here in my hometown
I love that the world doesn't have enough stealth camping spots right now. And Steve is just like "Fine, I'll do it myself" and makes his own.
Remember to leave a Step 2 outside in the bushes in case Steve rolls through your neighborhood.
I love the fact that every Stealth Camping video by Steve is like a mini adventure, and we're all rooting for him to make it through!
very impressed you got through the window like that.
me too. I tried that a couple years ago and it was a NO. lol
Mr. Wallis is definitely in shape, no doubt. Otherwise there was no hope of getting through that small window...
Lol
I was putting in my daughter car seat. Instead of going in the back, popping the rear hatch, I crawled halfway back and got stuck. I was going to call for help, but my pride was too great. I start thinking like a survivalist. I'm looking for water and food as it could be half an hour before my wife is going to start looking for me.😂
They were definitely bigger on the older trucks. My new ram would be a tight squeeze. Or he’s much smaller than he looks lol
This is a genius idea, Steve! You have a vehicle that probably no one will break into, it is well ventilated and easy to set up. Cheers from Germany, we love your video. No - we love you for the amazing person you are
Not only are Steve and his videos the best, I truly enjoy reading through the comments! What a great yt community that has formed around this incredible person. Kudos to all , fellow watchers , you also make my day and bless you for such kindness ❤
Just discovered Real Mechanic Stuff, like an hour ago, & just blown away by the comment community. Even tho it was a reaction video, they were spot on with their responses. IDK if they were random host or not, but they were given lots of love. Really cool to see.
I think the appeal is the fact that Steve can take something goofy and make it entertaining without an agenda.
Most of his projects are flawed from the beginning but work out just fine.
Keep at it Steve! You are loved and followed by like minded souls around the world!
I lived in a jeep Wrangler 4 door for years.... Nobody knew i was living in it. I hung a hammok on the inside trom front corner to the back adjacent corner. Worked like a charm! Ive lived in vehicles for the past 10 years. I always make it look like im not living in it. I keep my trash picked up and i dont hang out outside. I used to work over night then id park my jeep at a trailhead or a state park all day while i sleep id hear kids and families closing car doors and after a while it worked for me.
Hanging the hammock is genius!!
Please post some videos about that. I lived in cars and trucks for several years... but I didn't take any videos about it. It was decades ago.
What were you trying the hammock to in the corners??
Idk how your car hasn't been broke into , I can't go gold mining in any of my good spots without some democrats breaking in and taking anything of value if I'm gone for just 2 hrs , I couldn't image if someone tried to rob me while I'm sleeping in my car
@@GoldenBoy-et6of you're the kinda guy to make everything about politics aren't you
You know it's a good day when there's a new Camping with Steve video
this was one of the best stealth camps ive seen 10/10 on creativity
😊
Thank you for the shout out for donations for the loss of the Jasper Township. Too many ppl displaced at a critical time during a housing crisis.
Thank you. ❤️
Dude... This is the coolest stealth camping Idea I have ever seen.
Am I the only one who thought maybe Steve didn’t love his dinner? First comment “it’s warm!” Last comment “I’m gonna kill the light and eat in the dark” *immediate cut to next scene* 😂 love you Steve! Happens to the best of us
Camping with Steve just went to the next level... we have evolved
😆, glad you enjoyed it 😉
Thank you for the adventure Steve @@campingwithsteve
As a landscaper, I approve of this ingenious method 👌🏼
Steve's ghillie truck
It's like a duck blind...but it's a truck blind
This is fantastic. Makes you wonder how many stealth camps you unknowingly pass in day to day life.
Pure stealth genius. Most imaginative setup Steve has ever done. That is no small feat because he is the GOAT of stealth camping.
Every time I see a truck with brush, I'm going to shout, "Hey Steve!!!"
I wonder how many people are now going to walk past an old pick-up yelling “Steve? Are you in there??”
😂😂
I will be. 😂
Love this one. you were really thinking outside the box with this camping adventure! Thanks!
This is brilliant! Suddenly old trucks start to appear in parking lots with garden waste everywhere! LOL
Minute 1:18. I was cracking up when Steve was crawling through the window to get the back and the last thing through was his left foot which hit the light and turned it on. I bet he didn't even notice that into later lol.
Had to rewatch that part to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. Perfect kick of the light, like he meant to do it.
I WANT A WHOLE ROAD TRIP with the lawn waste car! Stealth camp in the middle of crazy huge crowds, cultural events, parades, raves, etc.
Camping At A rave.. been there done that.
YES PLEASE @ Steve
You'd have to refresh the foliage occasionally. 😅
Brings back memories of stealth camping in my rusty old Dodge pickup and doing that same crawl through the window into the back!
"easy access" Nice video Steve! Imagine how confusing it could be for someone smelling cooking but only being able to see leaves.
Thanks! 👍
Or hearing a low mono tone voice
I have been a magician for over 50 years. This is worthy of recondition from us prestidigitators. I bestow unto you the title of honorary illusionist!
Absurd? Yes. Brilliant? ABSOLUTELY!
Hi Steve! Love the show. An inexpensive bug repellent recipe is 2 cups boiling water, add 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, stir and steep 15 minutes, add 2 tablespoons rubbing alcohol. Shake, put in spray bottle, spray on body or anything. Totally works!! Btw, I love my high quality Hunker Down shirt. Happy Trails 🎉
Scott: I've heard you add a tbsp of vanilla extract to that recipe too.
“I’m colorblind, so I’m guessing.” 🤣 I love this guy!
There's parking on the street in an obvious camper van and calling it "stealth"
then there's this! Truly a next level idea, Steve!
A great disguise. No one is going to look at that truck and think "There is someone camping in there!" I am glad you put out a new video. I love the 17 different camera angles of you crawling out of the window. Very creative.
crazy neighbor would be proud of the build. This was a great idea.
This one was a great idea and unique as hell! Dry, comfy bed, no wet ground, porta-potty, all the comforts of home!
Hey Steve, just wanted to say my mom was having a bad day and we sat down and watched your video last night and I hadn’t seen her laugh like that in years! thank you!!
i was a landscaper for a few years, and we used to just load the trucks up with stuff like this, and i used to imagine just. crawling into it lmao.
this is inspired and incredible and so much fun! wonderful idea, thank you for sharing it with us!
This is peak Steve. Top marks for creativity. Dude approved.
Wow, this really brightened my day. I just got out the hospital and this is really the highpoint of my day. Thank you Steve
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
Thank you @AuntieD
For another added measure of security, you could put the seatbelt through the door handle and plug it back in
Theres alot of camping channels out there now and alot of stealth campers etc but i fully believe the reason Steve has such a large and loyal following is because of how genuine of a person he is. He is truly a kind hearted, honest and resilient person and i really commend him for it. Not to menion his creativity is amazing, from the first few shots i thought he was going to be sleeping in a pile of tree trimming until i saw the inside! absolutely mind blowing! Thanks Steve for the many years of entertainment, i still remember watching you camping out many years ago while you was doing your training
Been stealth camping on my road trips for years. And you were a big inspiration for that. You the man Steve!
the dangling rear view mirror is my fav
Same a little cherry on top
I called off from work today and coincidentally got blessed with a new stealth camping video. Thank you Steve!
"I'm just trying to cook". Truer words have never been spoken.
Idk why seeing this qouted made me think of breaking bad xD
@@GoldenBoy-et6of haha yeah now I see it. 😆
I wonder what a KOA attendant would say if you tried to get a spot? I think this is an epic build. Best I have seen.
It's the little touches that are the best - like the broken rear view mirror. An instant classic!
Steve you are constantly reinventing the many ways of stealth camping. As the saying goes adapt or die. Also your giving these drug and human smugglers ideas lol.
Awww, a little tribute salute for Crazy Neighbour, always in our hearts!
Great stealth camp idea!!! That's a home run! Take care. We'll see you next time!
💛💛💛
Steve is an understated genius
Thanks Steve for letting us know there were no plans for the 4 pallets, 2 boards and a bunch of branches build. I was expecting a sketchup.
😂
If the government did this it would involve 12 engineers,6 carpenters, 4 botanist, 5 project managers, and $450,000
Steve, what lake? Pigeon? Buffalo?
@@OutdoorsnbAlberta Beach
With the wood frame, the green leaves, and the checkered blanket it's like an Italian restaurant 😂 This is the favorite one yet.
Watching him crawl through the back window was just fantastic 😅 We love you Steve
When moving from state to state, Truck Stops are your best reliable destination. Park with the big rigs without blocking their movements. No one will bother you, and the truck stop staff is used to overnighters. If they do ask, just say “We’ll be gone in the morning.”!
Wouldn't be very stealthy as you're allowed to park there.
I lived at a Flying J truck stop for 1 1/2 years doing construction work with my wolf-dog.
It was a great time in my life.
All the employees knew me and Cheyenne, and the Denny's restaurant had good food when I wanted other than the truck stop fare.
Took showers there, and even the Police were very nice to me. They knew I worked full time, and never caused trouble.
I miss that period of time.
Down here in Colorado we got your smoke, Oregon's smoke and smoke from our own 6 or 10 fires. Plus it was really hot. Luckily it's cleared up this week. Thank God for all of our wildland fire fighters and their support crews and families. They are our true heroes! Hope you all are doing well up north, and it was great to see you again , Steve!
Hands down the best stealth camping idea ever. Brilliant. Steve, I also hope you know you don't need to come up with crazy ideas. I think I speak for the vast majority of us and just love seeing that you uploaded a video and would watch you no matter what you're doing. We love you man!
Steve is proving that the world is big enough to camp forever without those pesky accommodation fees!
You, and the inventor of ginger beef are my favorite Albertans
