The little aside to the camera about having been crying is exactly what makes me think you're going to be okay, Steve. I know there's a lot we don't see, but just the fact that you're okay with grieving and being in a hard place is testament to your character. We all love you, Steve.
I'm terrible at commenting on YT, but I wanted to say that I discovered your channel about a year and a half ago right around the time my dad passed and I had moved back to my hometown after a failed adventure. I binged your whole channel while getting settled into my apartment. It was like meeting a new pal in my new chapter. Thanks for all you do, Steve. These are the vibes we need.
Bud, your not terrible at commenting on YT because what you just wrote is both truthful and beautiful and its comments like yours that lets me know that the right type of people are in the comments section, just being cool human beings. Thank you.
Steve I'm so sorry you're feeling understandably down. I hope that you realize that there are 1.21M of us that wish we could hug you and tell you how much you are loved. I know you can understand theoretically, but I wish you could feel our actual hugs.
Absolutely. Just thinking that he's been through the first Christmas without his beautiful wife. He said that the in-laws bought him those fleece-lined jeans, so he must be on good terms with them. They all must be feeling her loss, and are helping each other through it.
My wife's uncle who lost his first wife to cancer says, "You never know where grief will overcome you. You might be at Safeway looking at the Spaghetti noodles and remember it was her favorite meal and that is all it takes to make a tough rest of the day." Keep on keeping on Steve. Love yah and your videos.
Broke my heart when Steve said he was crying between sets 😞 Steve you are one of a kind it's great you are back we all love you here thank you so much for sharing your life with us and how honest you are about things
When he pressed the rice and it scattered all over the place you could tell he busted down again and the scene clips and when the video is back hes trying to hold it together. Sadly relatable, I've been there before too many times.
The entire context of the video changes dramatically when Steve mentions he's been crying between takes. Makes you realize how much work goes into putting on a cheery face and making these vids entertaining for us viewers. Thanks for all you do, Steve! Hang in there!
I'm sure you and most of his viewers know why he's actually crying; it's not over work or his channel. For the one or two people who do not know, his wife was one of his biggest supporters. She did something no one else would ever do, and now he's on his own.
@Silence Dogood Of course not, it may be part of it but he's grieving my friend, I guess you'll know when it hits you (not that I hope that, it just happens to everyone).
not everyone finds a lifelong partner but when you do it's real! really real! and god bless steve, my love is with him always even if he doesn't know or feel it!
Take any breaks you need and cry if you need to. You've been through a lot Steve and we are all here for you. If your next video takes a month then that's how long it will take and we will all be patiently waiting for our next camping trip with you.
You are doing fine. When my late husband passed away i was numb and in a fog over 2 years. Grieving for a spouse takes time to adjust but live in memory always.
We lost our son at Christmas and are still obliterated with grief. 31 years of great memories become ghosts that haunt you. I know the pain Steve is still carrying, and watching him soldier on gives me hope we can do the same. God bless you, Steve.
From personal experience of losing my 48 year old son in the recent past, it’s not like the flu, you never get over it. I just put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Will remember you in prayer as well.
Steve, you're inspiring. It's tough for us guys to talk about mental health, and the fact we cry. Seeing you keeping on, despite everything that's happened, is the definition of strength. Thank you.
@@river8760 yes, I concur with this. Having just lost my girlfriend 3 days after Christmas, who was gone so unexpectedly and ironically was also named Jess, Steve really hit home with that one. It's been a constant struggle to try and just maintain some semblance of normality daily, but keeping your emotions and mental state locked away is only gonna make things worse. And I'm just beginning to open up, that wine alone is another struggle in it's own right...I just appreciate the comments.
@@rcyalater...2305please take care of yourself dude 💛 you deserve all of the support, time, and healing as anyone else. Nothing about grief is linear and that’s all the more reason it’s so valid to feel comfortable or uncomfortable expressing it outwardly at given time. Remember that you don’t owe anyone anything- especially not a performance whether that’s strength on a bad day, or forcing yourself back down when you finally get some “normalcy.” Hugs from another internet stranger!
Seeing you be open about your sadness is making us all feel less alone with our struggles. Crying shows that you have the strength to deal with your emotions. Thank you for still making videos. You are giving us all hope that life can continue after tragedy. Stay strong ❤
Steve never fails to make it sound like hell will break loose if someone catches him stealth camping. It never gets old. The videos are much more entertaining because of it.

I don't think I've ever commented on a RUclips video on a 10+ year account. You're the man Steve. Your videos are such a good, wholesome get-a-way from life's stresses and my own demons. Your candid nature and down to earth personality is what everyone needs. I was gutted when I heard of your loss. Being so open about what you're feeling and perseverance to better times is something I strive for. You're an amazing guy, Steve. Keep it up and hunker down.
True words. I lost the woman I thought was my soul mate almost 21 years ago & there r still days I hear a song or see someone twirling their hair with their index finger & I think of her.
Hey Steve… you’ve gotta cry it out and don’t ever feel ashamed of your emotions. You’ve got over 1 million people that care about you and despite never meeting, we’re all here for you. Love you brother!
Steve, I live in Australia, mate. I know there are thousands of people all over the world like myself who wish you every happiness. We who love, pay such a high price for doing so.
My heart continues to go out to you! You've suffered a tremendous loss. I am impressed that you continue to show up with gentleness, uncertainty, and grief. It would be so fun and spooky to camp there.
Steve, you'll never know how much you've meant to so many. The last couple of years, you've helped get me through my own grief after my beautiful wife left this world and entered heaven. You don't walk this road alone, my friend. Thank you for being so transparent on your journey. Love ya!
It’s alright to cry, Steve. None of us will hold it against you. Thanks for all the entertainment you’ve given us through the years, you’ve helped me through some tough times myself, and I appreciate it greatly.
I'm glad you're still making videos, Steve. Tip from a photographer, is someone questions you being out near dusk, just tell them you're waiting on "golden hour".
Steve I don't know if you even stop to consider how many people love you dude. You keep life happy.. and give us reasons to smile. We will always be here for you guy.
Man.....my heart cracked a little when you told us you've been crying in between takes. Perfectly understandable. Appreciate your honesty ❤ And appreciate you making videos despite! Keep hanging in there. And don't change!
Neighbour gives you a lift, describes raindrops as fairies, pretends you chopped his thumb off, and makes you a morning coffee… I like this guy already! 😊
I love how Steve always acts as if he’s staking out a bank and getting ready to rob it (you know, something very illegal) but he’s just stealth camping. I love it!!
Steve, you are like the Pacific Northwest version of Eat, Pray, Love in the flesh. Sometimes I just love to set up my Hennessy Hammock in the backyard, put a good quiet rain fly over it a cozy sleeping mat and down sleeping bag in it just to watch camping videos with you. When I can get out in my Aliner, it’s like a full reset. I get it. One day at a time Steve, and when that’s too difficult, then one hour at a time. ❤
@@pizzaisgood4877I don't know about Canada, but in the USA they tend to do the bidding of whatever rich aholes live nearby. If Steve is concerned I'd bet good money that there's reason to be.
Steve has been through one of the hardest things to go through in life and still continues to find that strength to continue doing what he loves, not only does he provide content we all love to watch, he is also an inspiration, showing us no matter how hard life gets, its possible to continue and be strong
@@Grimm66613 take your negativity elsewhere. Its quite sad that you have a problem with me admiring someone being able to do what a lot of people couldn’t do after something like that.
@@Grimm66613 admiration isn’t negativity, I wouldn’t expect you to understand that. It can’t be that negative given that Steve himself has liked the comment I made.
I just found this channel last night. Bless your soul man I can tell you are a genuine and kind guy. Hang in there man it gets easier with time but it never really goes away. I’ve had quite a few family members pass away to various reasons in the past 5 years so I can relate. You’ll be okay man keep up the incredible effort.
Oh how I've learned the hate the word "resilient" over the last six months... I lost my infant son to SIDS just before Steve lost Jess, I lost my home and nearly everything I owned in my grief, I lost my 7 year old daughter for an entire month, and now I'm trying to rebuild my life from nothing, with very very little help... And sure, everyone wants to call it "resilience" that I'm here, and I'm trying. But the truth is, it was simply pure animal instinct that made me survive for months and months and months. It's only very recently that I've found reasons to want to live again. Surviving through grief is far less than resilience much of the time... it's just a mindless fog of pain, and your body does what it needs to do to continue to b function largely by reflex. It's been a very rough journey back to the light. So I hate that word, "resilient."
It takes a lot of courage for a grown man to admit he’s been going through a lot. You speak for all men that are going through it. Love your channel and hope things get better for you from Kansas in the USA.
Steve is one of the best things on RUclips.. or any art or entertainment space right now. Grief is an experience we all will face one day, if not already. Watching Steve go through grief and face life as part of this supportive community is an experience I am grateful for. Thank you, Steve.
I've been in your boat, it was ten years ago. It's very difficult and dark at times. I'm happy to see you going out and doing things. Cry all you need to, man. I didn't let myself cry for so long and now it's hard to feel anything about it. You aren't alone even when you're out in the wilderness. A lot of people care about you.
When I was a young boy, my father told me there’s nothing wrong with a grown man crying when it’s appropriate. It’s more than appropriate in your case, Steve! God bless. ❤
We'd all think you were odd if you didn't cry, dear Steve. You're with friends here and we all care for you, very much. I am full of admiration for the way you are pushing ahead. The way you think of us and keep coming back is just wonderful. My heart lifts when I see there's a new video, and I know I am not the only one. God bless you.
This is my first time commenting on any content here. Watching this brought a tear to my eye, and made me want to tell you how I believe we all feel. Steve we all love you, you are one of the most wholesome people I've ever seen. You are the Steve Irwin of stealth camping, the Mr Rogers of cleaning up other peoples garbage, the Bob Ross of cooking a campfire meal. We all love you Steve, sincerely everyone here.
The moment with the rice just after Steve was being vulnerable couldn’t have come at a better time to lighten the mood. I lost my brother 5 years ago and the bad days do get easier to deal with and a good cry every so often always works for me. Keep on trucking Steve!
Thank you for persevering, Steve! Just one of the hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands....who appreciate you and your content! You make all of our days better!
Keep doing what you love, Steve. Even though those you love have passed. Yep--more than one million of us love you. Old woman with many health problems who lives vicariously through your posts. Love, Mitzi
Steve , just know that all of us will continue to support you. Don’t worry about crying in front of us we all been there & always remember that even though all of us that follow you may never meet you , we come together because of your channel and that makes us all family. Stay safe Steve & everyone on this beautiful new journey Steve is taking us through.
Oh dear, sweet man. It’s been 22 years since my husband unexpectedly died and there are days that I still cry without warning. It’s ok. It’s good. It’s healthy ❤ My oldest daughter, her husband, and my oldest granddaughter live on The Island so I’m enjoying this series because I’m missing the area right now.
Steve, please remember every time you prop up that cammera and hunker down in these amazing spots, we're all in there with you mate, all the thousands of us that love your videos are right there with you. Me, for example, loved the trip from Australia to join you this night. Just like us, your wife is with you there as well. Please never forget that, thank you for everything, and keep doing what you're doing. Your impact in this scene is is beyond comprehension. Thanks again for another amazing video mate !
Grieving is hard it comes out of nowhere at times, could be a song, a smell, a sound, or even a certain temperature. It’s a part of being human it makes us sad, but it also keeps us remembering the ones we loved the most. Even if it does take you several weeks to post a new video, it’s completely fine we just love camping with you where ever and when ever you go. Sending love and light.
Keep in mind, that you enrich the lifes of many people around the world with your adventures and your warm character, even here in Germany thousands of miles across the ocean.
"Great photos."🤣🤣🤣 Be gentle with yourself, Steve. Allow yourself to feel everything you need to feel. We all are here for you. Lots of love from Georgia USA!💕
Gosh, Steve seems such a genuine guy. I love his honesty and saying that things haven't been going so well. I just wish I could jump through my screen and give him a huge hug.
Steve, you've managed to touch millions of people with your videos. There are people who watch your videos out of enjoyment and for pure entertainment, but there are also people who watch your videos to get a 20 minute break from whatever they're dealing with. You've been a positive part of people's lives for years now just be being your wonderful self. I don't know how much it means, but know that there are countless people around the world who love you. Thank you for doing what you do, friend!
You're doing brilliantly, Jess is proud of you. Don't think about tomorrow, just get through today. Grief is the price we pay for love. Strength & prayers from London 🇬🇧
Steve is the most sincere, kind and honest RUclipsr out there. I found him at least 8 years ago and I have never missed a video. Hope that trend last for years to come. Steve you are the best! ❤️ from Ohio
Steve, when you feel down just think of us. Every time I'm on youtube I think about you whether or not I'm watching your vids. There's literally a million of us on your side man. Much luv!
I have never so badly wanted to reach through the screen and give someone a great big bear hug like I do right now! God Bless you and thank you for taking us on your adventures!
Steve, it broke my heart when you said you had been crying between shots. We all understand. Know you're loved, and your friends are with you, Steve. Slowly, slowly, things will become easier. You'll see.
Steve let me tell you how excited I get when you upload a video. I check my subscriptions daily from my phone or computer. But when I see you've uploaded, I run to my living room, turn on my tv, and cast your vids to the big screen so I can chill on the couch and cuddle with my dog while I watch your content. You are, without a doubt, my favorite RUclips creator and your videos are a Big Deal. Thanks for just being you!
There's a Steve in all of us, he just has the guts to do it and let that inner light shine for all of us to share. Mad respect for you. Thanks for letting us shine!
Probably one of the most genuine RUclipsrs out there. The content is always great and his videos inspire me to get out more. Keep your head up man and take care of yourself. We will always be here.
There's a guy in Texas you've never heard of let alone met, rooting for you. Stay strong. You'd be amazed how much love there is for your in this world that may seem harsh and cold at times.
This channel was suddenly in my recommended and never have I been so thrilled to come across a creator. You seem so pure and wholesome and good hearted. Watching your videos melts away my own stresses which is rare to find. My heart aches for you and your loss, I’m so sorry about your loss of your love. I look forward to supporting you and your passion in any ways I can. Random-ish but you remind me of the best person I got to know in this life in so many ways and it warms my heart to watch your videos. Please keep on pushing and sharing your light with this world, we all need it!! Your energy is so so appreciated
Take care of yourself Steve, it tears me up to see you struggle. You've solidified my quest to live a simpler life and be happy with less. Thank you for all you've done, and all you'll be doing in the future, you're a great human being.
In today’s society full of pretentiousness, insincerity, narcissism and indifference towards their fellow man, exists a guy who just carries on, wearing his heart on his sleeve, being a sincere and decent person while documenting and sharing his little corner of life with the rest of us and letting us know that there are still redeeming qualities to be found in the human species. Steve, the world needs more people like you. I’ve learned lessons from watching your videos
Being honest and a few step 2s in, I have a funeral in a few hours for an old friend who unfortunately was tired of fighting. We continue for those who couldn’t no matter how they’ve been taken from this world. Thank you for carrying on Steve
Hey Steve, When I first started watching your videos a few years ago, I had pretty recently suffered a loss very similar to yours (my deepest sincere condolences to you), and, having become very solitary myself, I felt commaradary watching this affable guy (you) having these good-natured solitary adventures. My heart went out to you when you spoke about your loss. Sadly, I suffered another very significant loss this past October, and am currently right there with you in the throws of grief (the holidays were very tough). I think you're kinda brave: time alone with nothing to do but think can be extremely hard time. I know nothing really takes the grief away, but in those times when you've got the camera shut down and the grief grabs you, I want you to know that you've helped people (me, at least) and you're not entirely alone; and I hope that helps a little bit. Keep on keeping on.
As someone with bad depression and anxiety and trauma with medicine (When I was a teen I was in a mental ward for a little bit where they had me taking 9 different medications and almost legit killed me back in 2004) your videos are one of the few things I enjoy.
breaks my heart to hear that you do that. and you still continue to make us content.. thank you so much steve you are a huge role model for me and plenty of others
Hang in there Steve, I've lost my entire family and I'm all alone now. But as they say, life must go on. I enjoy my camping as you do my Canuck friend. It is enjoyable to be out in the wild with nature, it's very therapeutic for my Soul. I used to cross the bridge into Canada and go camping and fishing, I absolutely love the Canadian wilderness!! Best wishes to you Steve. May the Great Spirit watch over you always. 🙏
Steve, I hope you know how much you enrich people’s lives, always. This was so cool to watch-really a beautiful area. Also, bless you for your honesty and vulnerability. You make so many people happy and give people hope. You’re in thousands of peoples’s prayers.
Stay Strong Steve. C.S. Lewis once said" Friendship is unneccessary. Like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value. But rather it is one of the things of which bring value to survival." Keep up the good work. Love ya dude.
So sorry for your loss Steve- thank you for your willingness to share that with us- I do know how hard it can be... But, also, thanks for keeping on with yer travels and experiences on the channel! You have a lots of (a million+!) people pulling for you who are grateful for your weekly dose of inspiration and adventure! Cheers!
Awooooo 🤘keep given'r bud.
Will do, thanks for hooking me up with the sweet merch. Kept me warm, no beer pockets in the jacket though.

this is not a beer on the beer can I love it🤣🤣🤣
Take any breaks you need and cry if you need to. You've been through a lot Steve and we are all here for you. If your next video takes a month then that's how long it will take and we will all be patiently waiting for our next camping trip with you.

You're not alone. Going through it too.. I find this channel to be comforting.
I don't think I've ever commented on a RUclips video on a 10+ year account.
You're the man Steve. Your videos are such a good, wholesome get-a-way from life's stresses and my own demons. Your candid nature and down to earth personality is what everyone needs.
I was gutted when I heard of your loss. Being so open about what you're feeling and perseverance to better times is something I strive for.
You're an amazing guy, Steve. Keep it up and hunker down.
“It’s gets easier, but you can’t tell which days will be good” powerful words Steve. Thanks for continuing to make this awesome content for us.
True words. I lost the woman I thought was my soul mate almost 21 years ago & there r still days I hear a song or see someone twirling their hair with their index finger & I think of her.
@@raidernation7427 I like the quote "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal". You honor her with your memory.
Hey Steve… you’ve gotta cry it out and don’t ever feel ashamed of your emotions. You’ve got over 1 million people that care about you and despite never meeting, we’re all here for you. Love you brother!
Even in your dark moments you are still a ray of light shining on so many people. We love you Steve
Couldn’t have put it better
Couldn't have said any better, we all love you Steve.
Nope me either could write it better 🙂🙂🙂
Another of my fav. Places… thanks for being so brave to camp at that spot. It truly is beautiful!!!!
Steve, I live in Australia, mate. I know there are thousands of people all over the world like myself who wish you every happiness. We who love, pay such a high price for doing so.
Most of us are strangers to you but everyone would agree you are like a friend to us.
Thank you Steve for the adventures 🙂
think you hit the nail on the head, nicely said Michelle.
When the rice went flying and then Steve just deadpan stared into the camera. 😂😂😂 That was the most sincere chuckle I’ve had in a while. ❤
I died laughing too! Best part of the whole vid for me
Quite crunchy rice, I guess. :D
Hilarious 😂...
Steve needs to get himself a dog, he needs a good companion to help him through his hard times. My heart goes out to you Steve, stay strong buddy
Yes and then there's another explanation why he's out in weird places at dusk and dawn. Just walkin' the dog...
He's got garbage but he does need a dog I agree
That would be great for him
Whenever I am in a down mood or bad mood, my dog always makes me smile and gives me unconditional love.
I couldn't agree more!
My heart continues to go out to you! You've suffered a tremendous loss. I am impressed that you continue to show up with gentleness, uncertainty, and grief. It would be so fun and spooky to camp there.
Please forgive me, I just found this channel. Im sorry to hear for the loss, wandering what happened... Prayers sent
@@CastBlastCamp Steve's wife Jess passed away not too long before this video was made.
@@josh1200 thanks for the info and god damn what a gut punch :(
Steve, you'll never know how much you've meant to so many. The last couple of years, you've helped get me through my own grief after my beautiful wife left this world and entered heaven. You don't walk this road alone, my friend. Thank you for being so transparent on your journey. Love ya!
Sorry for your loss of your Wife. 🌷🙏
@@ketoauntie7301, thank you very much.
Praying for you great video
Here's a virtual hug for both you and Steve.
❤
It’s alright to cry, Steve. None of us will hold it against you. Thanks for all the entertainment you’ve given us through the years, you’ve helped me through some tough times myself, and I appreciate it greatly.
Sadly, I still cry sometimes when I think of my wife. She has now been gone almost 17 years.
@@TiborRoussou That is called a true love between you and your wife
Hearing Steve say he's crying in between shots, just hits me in the feels... I only wish there were something I could do to make things better...
I’m right there with you joe_breezyjr
Same. My lips physically turned upside down like a cartoon character
I'm glad you're still making videos, Steve. Tip from a photographer, is someone questions you being out near dusk, just tell them you're waiting on "golden hour".
Or if they catch you at night, you can say you're doing nighttime astro photography...you can get away with so much saying your a photographer lol
Steve I don't know if you even stop to consider how many people love you dude. You keep life happy.. and give us reasons to smile. We will always be here for you guy.
I totally agree!! Gotta do nothing but love this guy!! We love you mr. Steve!!!! 👍👍👍👍❤️
@@Movetheproduct oh you. you're so edgy!
Steve, I'm a decade down the road from where you are, and sometimes tears still happen.
I don’t think the tears and the heartbreak ever truly goes away does it?
Man.....my heart cracked a little when you told us you've been crying in between takes. Perfectly understandable. Appreciate your honesty ❤ And appreciate you making videos despite! Keep hanging in there. And don't change!
Neighbour gives you a lift, describes raindrops as fairies, pretends you chopped his thumb off, and makes you a morning coffee… I like this guy already! 😊
I love how Steve always acts as if he’s staking out a bank and getting ready to rob it (you know, something very illegal) but he’s just stealth camping. I love it!!
Steve, you are like the Pacific Northwest version of Eat, Pray, Love in the flesh. Sometimes I just love to set up my Hennessy Hammock in the backyard, put a good quiet rain fly over it a cozy sleeping mat and down sleeping bag in it just to watch camping videos with you. When I can get out in my Aliner, it’s like a full reset. I get it. One day at a time Steve, and when that’s too difficult, then one hour at a time. ❤
@@marlenen6130 beautiful comment
The whole point of the video is not getting caught. If he does the video is done. Dont get these comments...
@@wsterx91 also an interaction with the pigs is like Russian roulette
@@pizzaisgood4877I don't know about Canada, but in the USA they tend to do the bidding of whatever rich aholes live nearby. If Steve is concerned I'd bet good money that there's reason to be.
Comedy gold watching Steve treat his camping activities as if he's breaking into a bank. Quality content!
That's the 100 million subscriber video.
Funniest thing ever is when he pulled out the sandwich the size of a clown shoe I'm the airport parking lot video lmao
gotta be careful alot of karens out there will try get you in trouble
Steve has been through one of the hardest things to go through in life and still continues to find that strength to continue doing what he loves, not only does he provide content we all love to watch, he is also an inspiration, showing us no matter how hard life gets, its possible to continue and be strong
Congratulations on reminding him of it.
@@Grimm66613 take your negativity elsewhere. Its quite sad that you have a problem with me admiring someone being able to do what a lot of people couldn’t do after something like that.
@@craigjones9367 you’re reminding someone that their wife is dead and you’re telling me to take my negativity elsewhere? 🤣🤦♂️
@@Grimm66613 admiration isn’t negativity, I wouldn’t expect you to understand that. It can’t be that negative given that Steve himself has liked the comment I made.
@@craigjones9367 Steve liked my comment. Everyone look at me. 🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆 CONGRATULATIONS 🥳👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just found this channel last night. Bless your soul man I can tell you are a genuine and kind guy. Hang in there man it gets easier with time but it never really goes away. I’ve had quite a few family members pass away to various reasons in the past 5 years so I can relate. You’ll be okay man keep up the incredible effort.
Thank you for the kind words, and welcome
There’s something about Steve still being out there that seems very reassuring for the rest of us
Steve keeps most of us alive and he doesn't even realize it.
When he wasnt posting for a while, I found myself worrying about him.
It gives me hope that when my wife goes life will continue.
In the words of Mav, " Keep on truckin'"
I agree!
Was getting a little worried when he wasn't around for a bit.
Steve Wallis… one brave, resilient good guy. Suffering and still filming… hoping you feel better soon ❤
Oh how I've learned the hate the word "resilient" over the last six months... I lost my infant son to SIDS just before Steve lost Jess, I lost my home and nearly everything I owned in my grief, I lost my 7 year old daughter for an entire month, and now I'm trying to rebuild my life from nothing, with very very little help... And sure, everyone wants to call it "resilience" that I'm here, and I'm trying. But the truth is, it was simply pure animal instinct that made me survive for months and months and months. It's only very recently that I've found reasons to want to live again. Surviving through grief is far less than resilience much of the time... it's just a mindless fog of pain, and your body does what it needs to do to continue to b function largely by reflex. It's been a very rough journey back to the light. So I hate that word, "resilient."
@@jessica3548 clearly words which you think will be supportive to some are the complete opposite to others. I’m sorry about that Jessica x
Thanks, Steve! Great spending time with you.
It takes a lot of courage for a grown man to admit he’s been going through a lot. You speak for all men that are going through it. Love your channel and hope things get better for you from Kansas in the USA.
Steve is one of the best things on RUclips.. or any art or entertainment space right now. Grief is an experience we all will face one day, if not already. Watching Steve go through grief and face life as part of this supportive community is an experience I am grateful for. Thank you, Steve.
Yes he's my hero
Been through so much in the past year but still such a kind soul. We love you Steve. Rip to your beautiful wife I know she’s watching over you
What happened to his wife I only seen his videos up to last summer he is fun to watch makes people think
@@carlolsen2739 She passed away some time ago, there is video where Steve tells about it.
Still brings tears to my eyes
How does homeless pay for phones?
@@joyceobeys6818 camping, not homeless
@@joyceobeys6818 they are homeless, not moneyless.
Steve is the most honest good hearted person on RUclips and we all thank you for it Steve ❤️❤️
I've been in your boat, it was ten years ago. It's very difficult and dark at times. I'm happy to see you going out and doing things. Cry all you need to, man. I didn't let myself cry for so long and now it's hard to feel anything about it. You aren't alone even when you're out in the wilderness. A lot of people care about you.
When I was a young boy, my father told me there’s nothing wrong with a grown man crying when it’s appropriate. It’s more than appropriate in your case, Steve! God bless. ❤
Of course, especially if they lose a family member, nothing to be ashamed of for a man....
It’s always appropriate for anyone to cry, whenever they feel like it 😊
"But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer."
💙
@@windybeach2184💯
We'd all think you were odd if you didn't cry, dear Steve. You're with friends here and we all care for you, very much. I am full of admiration for the way you are pushing ahead. The way you think of us and keep coming back is just wonderful. My heart lifts when I see there's a new video, and I know I am not the only one. God bless you.
This is my first time commenting on any content here. Watching this brought a tear to my eye, and made me want to tell you how I believe we all feel. Steve we all love you, you are one of the most wholesome people I've ever seen. You are the Steve Irwin of stealth camping, the Mr Rogers of cleaning up other peoples garbage, the Bob Ross of cooking a campfire meal. We all love you Steve, sincerely everyone here.
The moment with the rice just after Steve was being vulnerable couldn’t have come at a better time to lighten the mood. I lost my brother 5 years ago and the bad days do get easier to deal with and a good cry every so often always works for me. Keep on trucking Steve!
Rice for the win!😂
This is such a cool stealth camping spot. One of the best in quite a while I think. Good job Steve
Thank you for persevering, Steve! Just one of the hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands....who appreciate you and your content! You make all of our days better!
Keep doing what you love, Steve. Even though those you love have passed. Yep--more than one million of us love you. Old woman with many health problems who lives vicariously through your posts. Love, Mitzi
Thank you Steve for sharing your life and adventures with us. Jess would be so proud of you.❤️
I haven't been following him too often, could you explain what happened?

his Beautiful Wife passed on to heaven
Oh dear, sweet man. It’s been 22 years since my husband unexpectedly died and there are days that I still cry without warning. It’s ok. It’s good. It’s healthy ❤ My oldest daughter, her husband, and my oldest granddaughter live on The Island so I’m enjoying this series because I’m missing the area right now.
Steve, please remember every time you prop up that cammera and hunker down in these amazing spots, we're all in there with you mate, all the thousands of us that love your videos are right there with you. Me, for example, loved the trip from Australia to join you this night. Just like us, your wife is with you there as well. Please never forget that, thank you for everything, and keep doing what you're doing. Your impact in this scene is is beyond comprehension. Thanks again for another amazing video mate !
Grieving is hard it comes out of nowhere at times, could be a song, a smell, a sound, or even a certain temperature. It’s a part of being human it makes us sad, but it also keeps us remembering the ones we loved the most. Even if it does take you several weeks to post a new video, it’s completely fine we just love camping with you where ever and when ever you go. Sending love and light.
That people like Steve exist makes this crazy world worth it 💜
Keep in mind, that you enrich the lifes of many people around the world with your adventures and your warm character, even here in Germany thousands of miles across the ocean.
"Great photos."🤣🤣🤣
Be gentle with yourself, Steve. Allow yourself to feel everything you need to feel. We all are here for you. Lots of love from Georgia USA!💕
Gosh, Steve seems such a genuine guy. I love his honesty and saying that things haven't been going so well. I just wish I could jump through my screen and give him a huge hug.
Steve, you've managed to touch millions of people with your videos. There are people who watch your videos out of enjoyment and for pure entertainment, but there are also people who watch your videos to get a 20 minute break from whatever they're dealing with. You've been a positive part of people's lives for years now just be being your wonderful self. I don't know how much it means, but know that there are countless people around the world who love you. Thank you for doing what you do, friend!

Steve, the Bob Ross of stealth camping 🤌
Underrated comment
Or.... Just maybe..... Bob Ross is the Steve Wallis of painting? 🤷♂
We all love you,Steve!! God Bless you!!!
Totally 🎨
You're doing brilliantly, Jess is proud of you. Don't think about tomorrow, just get through today. Grief is the price we pay for love. Strength & prayers from London 🇬🇧
“Grief is the price we pay for Love “ … We should break up
Steve! I've never wanted to hug a random dude under a bunch of weathered logs more in my life ❤️
Steve is the most sincere, kind and honest RUclipsr out there. I found him at least 8 years ago and I have never missed a video. Hope that trend last for years to come. Steve you are the best! ❤️ from Ohio
Steve, when you feel down just think of us. Every time I'm on youtube I think about you whether or not I'm watching your vids. There's literally a million of us on your side man. Much luv!
I have never so badly wanted to reach through the screen and give someone a great big bear hug like I do right now! God Bless you and thank you for taking us on your adventures!
Steve, it broke my heart when you said you had been crying between shots. We all understand. Know you're loved, and your friends are with you, Steve. Slowly, slowly, things will become easier. You'll see.
I am so sorry for your loss, Steve. Please don't feel like you have to rush your grieving process for us. We love you man, and we are here for you❤
You’re so strong Steve. She’s definitely looking down with a smile ear to ear.
As always thanks for taking us along. You'd be surprised how many people depend on these little breaks from reality.
Jess must be so proud.
The world would be a much better place if we all had a neighbor like you.
Steve let me tell you how excited I get when you upload a video. I check my subscriptions daily from my phone or computer. But when I see you've uploaded, I run to my living room, turn on my tv, and cast your vids to the big screen so I can chill on the couch and cuddle with my dog while I watch your content. You are, without a doubt, my favorite RUclips creator and your videos are a Big Deal. Thanks for just being you!
So do I ! Agree with every thing you said
There's a Steve in all of us, he just has the guts to do it and let that inner light shine for all of us to share. Mad respect for you. Thanks for letting us shine!
Honestly can’t understand how your videos have become almost therapeutic. Never stop Steve you’re the best of us.
Probably one of the most genuine RUclipsrs out there. The content is always great and his videos inspire me to get out more. Keep your head up man and take care of yourself. We will always be here.
The love of such a good woman is sustaining and always within reach. May your sweet memories be quiet company on the trail. We love you Steve!
There's a guy in Texas you've never heard of let alone met, rooting for you. Stay strong. You'd be amazed how much love there is for your in this world that may seem harsh and cold at times.
This channel was suddenly in my recommended and never have I been so thrilled to come across a creator. You seem so pure and wholesome and good hearted. Watching your videos melts away my own stresses which is rare to find. My heart aches for you and your loss, I’m so sorry about your loss of your love. I look forward to supporting you and your passion in any ways I can. Random-ish but you remind me of the best person I got to know in this life in so many ways and it warms my heart to watch your videos. Please keep on pushing and sharing your light with this world, we all need it!! Your energy is so so appreciated
This shelter is really interesting. Thank you for taking us along.
Take care of yourself Steve, it tears me up to see you struggle. You've solidified my quest to live a simpler life and be happy with less. Thank you for all you've done, and all you'll be doing in the future, you're a great human being.
In today’s society full of pretentiousness, insincerity, narcissism and indifference towards their fellow man, exists a guy who just carries on, wearing his heart on his sleeve, being a sincere and decent person while documenting and sharing his little corner of life with the rest of us and letting us know that there are still redeeming qualities to be found in the human species. Steve, the world needs more people like you. I’ve learned lessons from watching your videos
Being honest and a few step 2s in, I have a funeral in a few hours for an old friend who unfortunately was tired of fighting. We continue for those who couldn’t no matter how they’ve been taken from this world. Thank you for carrying on Steve
We love you Steve. Thank you for being honest about crying. Being sad is part of the human experience and it’s not okay to hide that.
We're all still here for you Steve. Cheers to better days ahead
Hey Steve,
When I first started watching your videos a few years ago, I had pretty recently suffered a loss very similar to yours (my deepest sincere condolences to you), and, having become very solitary myself, I felt commaradary watching this affable guy (you) having these good-natured solitary adventures.
My heart went out to you when you spoke about your loss.
Sadly, I suffered another very significant loss this past October, and am currently right there with you in the throws of grief (the holidays were very tough).
I think you're kinda brave: time alone with nothing to do but think can be extremely hard time. I know nothing really takes the grief away, but in those times when you've got the camera shut down and the grief grabs you, I want you to know that you've helped people (me, at least) and you're not entirely alone; and I hope that helps a little bit.
Keep on keeping on.
As someone with bad depression and anxiety and trauma with medicine (When I was a teen I was in a mental ward for a little bit where they had me taking 9 different medications and almost legit killed me back in 2004) your videos are one of the few things I enjoy.
Oh Steve, my heart goes out to you. You are on a journey not of your choosing, but over time the grief will not be so heavy. Take care.
breaks my heart to hear that you do that. and you still continue to make us content.. thank you so much steve you are a huge role model for me and plenty of others
Thanks for all the happiness and kindness you spread, Steve. You are a quality person and the world needs more people like you
To admit you're struggling is so brave, you have a great heart Steve. I'll say it again........ love you man!
Hang in there Steve, I've lost my entire family and I'm all alone now.
But as they say, life must go on. I enjoy my camping as you do my Canuck friend. It is enjoyable to be out in the wild with nature, it's very therapeutic for my Soul. I used to cross the bridge into Canada and go camping and fishing, I absolutely love the Canadian wilderness!!
Best wishes to you Steve. May the Great Spirit watch over you always. 🙏
Steve, I hope you know how much you enrich people’s lives, always. This was so cool to watch-really a beautiful area. Also, bless you for your honesty and vulnerability. You make so many people happy and give people hope. You’re in thousands of peoples’s prayers.
14:26 don't be scared to let it out Steve. A real man admits when things are tough! Stay strong my man! Prayers Steve and best of wishes! 🥰 🙏
Stay Strong Steve. C.S. Lewis once said" Friendship is unneccessary. Like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value. But rather it is one of the things of which bring value to survival." Keep up the good work. Love ya dude.
So sorry for your loss Steve- thank you for your willingness to share that with us- I do know how hard it can be... But, also, thanks for keeping on with yer travels and experiences on the channel!
You have a lots of (a million+!) people pulling for you who are grateful for your weekly dose of inspiration and adventure!
Cheers!
