If there's one thing I learned from Steve is to be happy with the little things in life. Can't see the little stealth camp from street? Happiness. Cook a nice meal out in the open? Happiness. Get a ride to a camping spot and getting picked up after? Happiness. Light rain only? Happiness. As Steve would say: Doesn't get better than this! Love it.
Refreshing, huh? I mean, it’s essentially the diametric opposite of what most people use social media for. You know… vicarious narcissistic supply, recreational outrage, identity politics… all that good stuff. Steve’s content is the antidote.
I recently drove from Florida to Greenville, South Carolina to visit a friend. While sitting around the fire with her 60 yro neighbor I'd never met, the subject of favorite RUclips channels came up. Camping with Steve was a common thread - we all love it. Steve's appeal is universal.
He has such a nice voice. I could imagined him hosting a ( very) late night radio talk show where people call in and talk about camping, adventures, nature, life etc...with breaks of calming music.
@@campingwithsteve Thanks for the content Steve. You are appreciated and loved. After all of this disaster in Canada over the last year, I hope your next ones are amazing.
This is exactly what I thought of the first time I heard the term "stealth camping." In bushes, near people, checks all the boxes for me. I always like your videos though, Steve. Even the cheese disaster from last time. Your videos are like hanging out with a buddy now. You say we put up with you... but Steve, honestly man, you are sanity in a crazy world for a lot of us. You're genuine, real, and kind, and we love you for it. :) Thank you, man.
If you ever get that uneasy feeling somebodies watching you, and you look back and nothing is there. Just remember, it’s probably just Steve stealth camping. ❤
It’s amazing how much everyone loves this guy, this videos been up 45 minutes and it’s got 35,000 views and 5000 likes. Seems like such a genuine nice person
I think your concern at the end is unwarranted, whether your videos are late, or your videos are "boring" (they're never boring), or even if they're just videos of you silently reading, we'd still be here waiting to watch and share in the adventures with you. You're the big grown-up kid we all want to be, just out there enjoying the simple things and creating an infectious environment of kindness and connection in your comments section / community following. Your videos have gotten me through some really dark times in my life, so I'm grateful even just to see you at all. Keep on Camping, so we can be With Steve!
@@dakotaellis9978 Absolutely, I don't even see it as a full fledged camping channel, it's more like a way for us to hang out with Steve every week - It just so happens we hang out at campsites (Or sometimes in shrubs and bushes, wrapped in trashbags, during a thunderstorm). Between him and his English equivalent Kent Survival, it's just endlessly peaceful. genuinely feels like you're just off with your friend - I just wish the videos were longer. I'd happily sit and watch a 30-40 minute video here. Also it would be awesome to see Steve and KS do a collab, but I do fear the serenity may achieve ultimate enlightenment and Steve will transcend us all.
Steve is definitely the most humble guy on youtube. Goes through more than I can imagine and still manages himself! I PRAY that good things happen in your life. I'm sorry for everything youve gone through recently but you're truly an inspiration on my life so i thank you so much! Me and one million other people love you!
Back in the 1980s McDonald's coffee tastes like burnt eggshells but about 10 years ago they changed the formula and it's one of my favourite coffees way better than any Starbucks
You would think these would get tiring after a while.... Then you realise it's not about the content, it's about hanging out with our buddy Steve for a bit.
Hey Steve, A clock in the top corner or something would be interesting and help with the immersion into your stealth world. Knowing the time would help us to expect the traffic at dinner time etc.
Steve has changed the way I look at the landscape. Everywhere has possibility to stealth camp! Seriously though what a time to be alive is right. The fact that there is a man who passionately stealth camps and there are those of us who enjoy watching it. Thanks Steve!
You're easy to care about, Steve. You show people what living an honest life is like. You are a breath of fresh air, brother. We're not patient. We are in love. Blessings and peace upon you, sweet soul.
@@candywilliams78 Awakened souls can feel his strength. He is more than a youtuber. He is a positive spiritual influence on so many of us. We who have followed him for so many years now have watched and literally lived his life along side him. To know this man's story is to understand what true love is. His effervescent and contagious zeal for life and his ability to literally overcome the greatest tragedy that I could ever imagine is nothing short of inspirational. Kids, this is the kind of person you want to grow up to be. Respectful, sincere, caring and above all else, be honest. This is SOOOO much more than just a camping show. This is critical life-lesson stuff. I love this man as I would my own brother.
Steve, what you don’t know is that creepy guy in the car was trying to stealth camp in a McDonalds parking lot and some creepy guy cooking Big Mac tacos in the woods wouldn’t go away 😂
Steve acting as if he has committed a felony by cracking open a step 2 that literally nobody can hear him opening is always comedy to me. Love you Steve
Can someone please tell me what a step 2 is? When I type step 2 in google it just leads to alcoholics anonymous step 2. Or a kids toy company called step 2. I tried typing "step 2 beverage -aa -alcoholics" and i still can't find anything. How?!?!?! Google is terrible.
Hey Steve, im not sure if you’ll see this, but I’m from England and currently homeless, I would like you to know your videos bring great comfort to me and helps me when setting up a spot for a night, geographically we’re in complete different places, but your videos make me feel comfortable in my situation and embracing the stealth camp. Sending love and positive vides your way ✌🏻❤️
My wife has been struggling in the hospital the last few days, I came home to catch a nap and shower, glad I get to chill and watch our favorite youtuber. She's gonna enjoy this one once she comes back to us. Stay stealthy Steve! All the best from us in Atlanta!
Best wishes for your wife, Steve binging is going to be a great treat for her! Atlanta is a beautiful city and I hope that the future is going to be a great one.
I love how he was talking about some creepy guy sitting in his car while he was sitting in the woods with a camera watching a McDonald’s drive thru. 😂. I love Steve’s videos!
The reason most camping gear is in bright colors is that you *can* be found. I think the primary reason is search and rescue, but I imagine it's nice to easily see your own campsite from some distance as well.
I love Steve watching the guy who's hanging out in his car for too long, thinking to himself "what kind of weirdo spends his entire night outside of a McDonald's?"
Probably using the free wifi for... stuff that you don't wanna do at home its pretty common, just know that their network is monitored and all activity is logged, so if you plan on doing the same, just use a VPN (after logging into the wifi)
I was at a McDonald’s drive-thru the other day & saw a bunch of bushes + trees behind the lot. A stealth camp idea popped up into my mind, and I thought to myself, “imagine Steve camping behind a McDonald’s drive-thru?” Well.. what do you know?! Haha, love it Steve. Very sneaky!
Steve, I don't think you realize how awesome you are. You are pondering why they spell "through" as "thru". You are truly sent from a higher force for mankind. We love you!
Hey Steve I rarely ever comment on RUclips videos, however I just wanted to share that your videos mean a lot to me and countless others as I’m sure you have read in the comment section before. I’ve been going through some tough times myself and to be honest…life is just not where I want it to be for myself yet. However, seeing how you persevere through your dark times and managing to continue making these videos with a smile, really inspires me and let’s me know that things will be alright. You’re an absolute beauty bud and wish you nothing but the best, from one Canuck to another 🇨🇦 stay safe, much love, and keep the videos going!
I very much appreciate you, Steve. Your videos have helped me so much. I am homeless but have been following my dreams of hiking all over the USA. Your stealth camps have taught me a lot of very useful skills. This year I've hiked the appalachian trail to Pennsylvania. Currently working at a bar and living life to the fullest. Bless you Steve keep taking on life. you're amazing.
I will admit that it was hard for me to feel happy about the trees I've painted with Bob Ross. lol Over time, I realized that I actually did paint something better than I normally would have because I had learned from Bob Ross, plus I have the excuse of trying to paint with acrylics instead of the oils he uses. It's very much like your channel, Steve, in that many of us do something similar because we've been inspired by you, but none of us come out with exactly the same thing in the end. Much love!@@campingwithsteve
Northwest Arkansas here, this is the freshest video of yours that I've seen. This video also represents the plight of the homeless. They do all they can to survive, and when their hope runs out, we find them on the sidewalk hoping that the afterlife will be better than the life they had. Thank you Steve!
Today was a tough day at the end of a tough week. I genuinely find Steve’s company medicinal. Thank you for letting us come along on another adventure!
Steves bucketlist: stealth camping between frontlines, under the hollywood letters, nevada testsite, where else? Maybe in your garden while you watch his new video.
HEY STEVE!!!! just wanted to let you know I’m now a proud father today of our baby girl, currently watching you in our recovery room. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us❤❤ love you Steve.
Im working a 9-5 retail job that due to short staff has been killing my energy for the past few years even getting into my private life, wasnt even granted a day off for funerals or other stuff. After some rough months sometimes only these videos keep me positive and male me enjoy alltje little things in life. Thank you for that steve!
Steve is to camping what mr rogers/steve irwin/bob ross were to their respective fields. The levels of wholesomeness in Steve's videos are unmatched, just a pure kind person.
Ohh now I need to see a musical episode of camping with Steve where he stealth camps while talking to us like we are kids and makes comments like "now wasn't that accident with the butane stove just a happy food time" Hello campers how is everyone today 😊 ("everyone, got yur step two's OK let's get started shall we now the thing about stealth camping is ...) I can see it now hehe won't it be fun
Steve, my wife recently passed away (July) and I’ve been following you for ages. Your videos and your experience to get back on your feet are truly inspirational. I’ve often watched your videos in tears and I only wish I had half the bravery to get out and do what you do. Sending love and please don’t stop the content it’s made such a difference to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart here in the UK X
Hi Steve, I'm a French guy who is passionate about camping. there is nothing better than making your own little nest in a safe place and grilling your meat, or cooking anything in the evening, by the fire. you give me lots of ideas. Be well and take care of yourself in these times.
A tip... Spray the bug spray on a sheet wipe and wipe any part of your body you can reach especially on your face. You can keep the spray out of your eyes a lot easier. A lot of the spray which you just spray on yourself just goes in the air. You can reuse the sheet wipes until they either get dirty or fall apart.
Steve! Another superb video. Just what I needed to put me in my happy place. At around 8:20 in the video, when you noticed the “really creepy guy” sitting parked in his car and you quipped, “but who am I to talk, I’m sitting in the bush with a camera,” gave me the best laugh I’ve had all week. Thank you! You’re the best.
This made my heart happy! My 8 yo nephew was in in accident and has been at Children’s Mercy Hospital for a week and I’ve been caring for his 11 yo brother and 3 yo sister and I’m emotionally exhausted. This made the things so much better! Thank you!
Greetings from Paul in Glasgow.scotland I knew beautiful wife was in heaven but just heard about crazy neighbour devastated pal ,being going through some mental health issues myself and haven't been able to keep up with all my subs bug uour different my friend take care mabey see u camping and step 2 ING..in bonnie scohland .respect my friend
I just had to comment a second time. I love stealth camping and Steve has helped me with my stress and anxiety and depression. Wilderness has a way in healing peoples minds and watching Steve helps me relax. Anything to do with the great outdoors relaxes me. It a great therapy. Thank you Steve
Steve, there's nothing I love more than seeing an upload from you. Your seemingly simple adventures are always uplifting and fun, and your insistence on picking up trash everywhere you go has lead to me purchasing mesh bags to bring with me fishing and ATV riding, and I now stop to pick up every piece I can. Thanks for being such a great human.
Some of y’all won’t believe me but ever since I was younger I would imagine myself being homeless and would think of good spots where I would setup or sleep. Where I would sleep when the weather was cold or rainy. And then I come across Steve and his camping videos. I’m always so Intrigued as I live out my childhood thoughts or what if’s through Steve 😂. Thank you Steve.
I’m 60. I did that all the time as a child. I think that would be a great place to sleep. Somewhere I could live if I “ran away”. I had no plans to run away. No reason to run away. But I was always on the lookout for shelter. 😂 Weird places. But always had cover and protection. I grew out of it but these videos reminded me of that.
Been feeling unwell for the past couple of weeks...battling late stage lymphoma/cancer. I just noticed the new video from Steve. Yay! Always helps take my mind off my poor health and let's me live vicariously through your videos. Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to film, edit and share with us all. I can't begin to tell you how many times watching a video by you has helped get my mind off the negative side of things. I'm always grateful to see a new video pop up. I wish I could meet you in person a d go camping in the snow. Florida girl here...we never get snow. I absolutely love the snow. It eases the pain all over my body and makes me feel refreshed. I wonder if they have the make a wish foundation for adults. My wish would be to meet Steve and go camping in the snow with him. Love you Steve! Keep on doing what you do. ❤
Prayers to you for comfort and peace. If you believe in Christ there's a home for you in heaven. Steve can you make this happen? I'd donate $$$ to pay for her to fly up to Canada. How's that for "Make an adult Wish"?
I pray some miracle happens for you. Also, look up Wim Hof; his technique could help, especially if you like the cold. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am.
I know this is probably random but everytime i see Steve picking up trash at the places he camps at i have made it also a habbit of mine to do the same everywhere I go. What a wholesome gentleman Steve is.
I stopped watching camping videos because my interests tend to change quite a lot but a youtube video I watched mentioned you and then I thought I'd come back and start watching again. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Wife and Mom. I'm glad to see you're still finding your sneaky spots and uploading for us viewers to enjoy! Your videos are entertaining and very relaxing! Keep yourself well and keep being awesome :)
That sucks..hate being restless lol..if in laying there wide awake,it'd dark amd queit, just no sounds, I can't sleep!!need to hear or watch something to drift off to!!😑😁✌️🍻
Do you ever try ASMR videos? If you search for them on RUclips, they have them with all kinds of different content for pretty much any interests you may have...they are so soothing (and entertaining) & they really help me drift off to sleep.
Steve! 🌟 Your camping adventures are a beacon of light in many of our lives. Amidst personal challenges, the joy and humor you bring is unparalleled. Remember, every time we click play, it’s a testament to your strength and spirit. You’re not just camping, you’re inspiring thousands. Keep shining!
Steve: I'll take a McStealthy plz. Drive thru attendant: sir that's not on the menu Steve: I'm already gone Drive thru attendant: gone where sir? Steve: step 2 time. Drive thru attendant: sir?! Steve: time to hunker down Drive thru attendant: sir you need to order or leave. *... six hours later...* Steve: I'll take a McMuffin and coffee, with a side of the perfect crime 🖐️😎 Drive thru attendant: please pull ahead
McD is trash, even homeless people should try not to eat form there, unless of course circumstances force them to). Rather have soup kitchen meals than McD trash, if I were homeless.
Steve, I've said it before but I'll say it again - your loyal subscribers don't mind a jot if your upload schedule goes awry from time to time. We're always just glad to get that new video notification, and to see you're doing okay. Even though I obviously don't know you personally, watching your content makes me feel like I'm getting updates from an old buddy and that's comforting. You keep posting 'em, and we'll keep watching 'em. 🙂
Steve Wallis, coming to a theater, motel, forest, roundabout, sign, or woods near you!!! You will never know where Steve will camp next! He could be right next to you without you even knowing! Haha, great to see you keeping your positivity up high even through the very tough times you’ve been in. Cheers Steve, to another adventure.
We need to make a bunch of life-sized standees of Steve crouching by a camp stove and put them all over the country behind signs, under bushes, in the woods, between dumpsters, etc. That way if someone actually sees him they'll think it's just another cardboard cutout.
Hope all is okay Steve! Whatever is going on, we know life gets in the way and it's certainly thrown rocks at you lately! Most importantly, we hope you are safe and well. Much love
you may think some of your videos are boring but for those of us who aren't able to get out and about as much as we'd like, your videos are very enjoyable. Thank you.
Only Steve understands his hierarchy of camping spots.😅 Im glad this was a good one for him. I love his sense of propriety when it comes to spelling "drive -thru." Otherwise there's very little propriety in his adventures.
I was thinking IMAGINE what the guy in his car would think if he spotted Steve....goes to show what looks creepy as ALL get out may be innocent as can be🤣
Back in the 80s my elementary school was next door to a McDonalds, with woods behind both. We'd play in those woods behind both all the time. Thanks for bringing back some memories Steve!
The moment you started frying up in the frying pan directly across from the McDonalds drive thru..😂 had me in stitches 😂 Quality content as always! Thank you Steve for just being you!
I was recently driving from Texas to Kansas and drove past several closed weigh stations. My first thought? This would be a great stealth camping site. Steve would approve. Thanks for sharing fun videos!!!
Please come and do a UK stealth series over the winter Steve! It's too cold to do it in Canada and you'll be able to find a whole new level of randomness over here!
Try the desert in the South West. Our Colorado desert is so warm and sunny many Canadians called "Snowbirds" come south for the winter. They tend to stay in trailer parks and such. Most of the State of Nevada is Federal land. Most of that is Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service. Most of that is open to "Dispersed" Camping. That means it is legal to Stealth camp. You can do it openly or hide for added excitement. I believe those lands compare to "Crown Lands."
@@jameshudkins2210 Even the southwest can be relatively cold, although nowhere near as cold as anywhere in Canada. I did a big six week winter camping trip in the southwest, sleeping almost solely in my truck. Even in December, a relatively "warm" winter month, the temperatures at night were below freezing every single night in New Mexico, even when I was camping way far south along the US-Mexico border. The elevation really gets ya. Southeast Arizona, even along the southern border, is still quite elevated and cold (freezing every night). The weather in southwest Arizona, much lower in elevation, is absolutely beautiful in winter. As for more northerly destinations in both those states, I had some COLD nights. The lowest I slept in that trip was -10 F while sleeping at about 11k feet outside of Las Vegas, NM. So, in total, most of the desert southwest is not as warm in the winter as people may think, mostly due to the elevation.
Agreed and Agreed. I was so cold in Barstow during a winter night. The Snow Birds do best in lower elevation as well as further south. One of the most famous is the Slabs near the Salton Sea in Southern California. It is just about Sea Level. The Imperial Valley and near the lower Colorado River can be OK in Winter. @@TheHamburgler123
“What a time to be alive!” while sitting in the bushes above a McDonalds drive-thru. LMAO. Newcomer here and already hooked. This reminds me of sneaking out of the house to hang with friends during my 8th grade summer.

Hello from Greenville, we talk about Steve at work all the time.
I’m super liberal, love him. My mom is hyper conservative, loves him. GOATed channel imo
8:08 "There's a really creepy guy sitting in the parking lot, in his car" as Steve sits in the woods watching him 😂
"Who am I to talk. I'm sitting in the bush with a camera." 😂
ha ha ha, yep
This is by far one of the funniest Steve quotes ever!
Maybe he’s camping too 🤷🏽♂️
creeping on the creepy guy.
He has such a nice voice. I could imagined him hosting a ( very) late night radio talk show where people call in and talk about camping, adventures, nature, life etc...with breaks of calming music.

one two Steve is stealth camping next to you three four better lock the door🤣🤣🤣
I was just about to say that. When people go in the woods and think they feel bigfoot around its just Steve.
Legend has it that if you offer/toss him a quality beer and some jerky he will stop looking at you..
LMFAO!
Alright I’ll watch this guy camp in a McDonald’s parking lot and then I’m going to bed
Every night
Did you get a good night sleep?
LOL exactly what I just thought! :-)
Lol
Same 🤣

Owner of New Ontario Brewing here. Big thanks for trying out our beer man. Been a fan for a long time. Glad you liked our Blonde!
Knowing that New Ontario Brewing is a long time fan of Camping with Steve makes me want to try out the blonde. I doubt you ship to Europe though.
What are the odds 😂
There is comfort food, and there are comfort RUclipsrs. The great thing about Steve is that he provides us with both. Thanks for everything Steve.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
I have not been provided any food from Steve, unfortunately
Comfort beer
My comfort RUclipsrs are Streve Wallis and MrBallen.
Well said!
He's back and stealthier than ever! Also good spot to grab your morning coffee
And sausage muffin. Just saying.

McDonald’s coffee is good, and reasonably priced.
Back in the 1980s McDonald's coffee tastes like burnt eggshells but about 10 years ago they changed the formula and it's one of my favourite coffees way better than any Starbucks

My favorite is him opening the beer quietly… 30 yards from the nearest car 😂
I came to the comments section after he said that.. lmao
Classic Wallis
I wonder if the car guy is a RUclipsr and he’s talking about a creepy guy hiding in some trees lmao😂
Steve's truly the pioneer of Creep Camping.
I love to watch people find happiness, especially when it's just good fun.
Steve is a legend.
Wow, 200+ comments in less than 15 minutes! Now that's one dedicated fanbase, congratulations Steve, couldn't be more deserved!!👏
I got 2k at 4h
The reason most camping gear is in bright colors is that you *can* be found.
I think the primary reason is search and rescue, but I imagine it's nice to easily see your own campsite from some distance as well.
I love Steve watching the guy who's hanging out in his car for too long, thinking to himself "what kind of weirdo spends his entire night outside of a McDonald's?"
😅😂😅
Probably using the free wifi for... stuff that you don't wanna do at home its pretty common, just know that their network is monitored and all activity is logged, so if you plan on doing the same, just use a VPN (after logging into the wifi)
This moment stood out to me the most 😂. LOVE it!!!
I thought that too lol. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I was at a McDonald’s drive-thru the other day & saw a bunch of bushes + trees behind the lot. A stealth camp idea popped up into my mind, and I thought to myself, “imagine Steve camping behind a McDonald’s drive-thru?” Well.. what do you know?! Haha, love it Steve. Very sneaky!
It’s hard not to see camping spots everywhere after watching these videos
Thanks for not blowing his cover
What? How would he blow his cover. He didn't see him in person.
@@OhmyadelineMy goodness you’re slow Alice
Steve, you are an inspiration to all of us stealth camping enthusiasts. You are the original that we all follow.
Steve, I don't think you realize how awesome you are. You are pondering why they spell "through" as "thru". You are truly sent from a higher force for mankind. We love you!
Hey Steve I rarely ever comment on RUclips videos, however I just wanted to share that your videos mean a lot to me and countless others as I’m sure you have read in the comment section before. I’ve been going through some tough times myself and to be honest…life is just not where I want it to be for myself yet. However, seeing how you persevere through your dark times and managing to continue making these videos with a smile, really inspires me and let’s me know that things will be alright. You’re an absolute beauty bud and wish you nothing but the best, from one Canuck to another 🇨🇦 stay safe, much love, and keep the videos going!
I very much appreciate you, Steve. Your videos have helped me so much. I am homeless but have been following my dreams of hiking all over the USA. Your stealth camps have taught me a lot of very useful skills. This year I've hiked the appalachian trail to Pennsylvania. Currently working at a bar and living life to the fullest. Bless you Steve keep taking on life. you're amazing.
Congratulations, man. Also in Pa. Which bar?
The world is your home dude your life sounds very interesting and very cool
sounds more fun and interesting than most NPCs slaving away at the daily 9-5 grind
@@a-spicy-amemeball8063If they wanted strangers online to know where they would have said
Providing for a family is what u call npc slaving away lol
Steve is the Bob Ross of stealth camping
Who wouldn’t like camping around all those “happy little trees”?
Such a good comment! Absolutely agree!
This! This right here is the truest statement known to mankind.
So true! lmao
I will admit that it was hard for me to feel happy about the trees I've painted with Bob Ross. lol Over time, I realized that I actually did paint something better than I normally would have because I had learned from Bob Ross, plus I have the excuse of trying to paint with acrylics instead of the oils he uses. It's very much like your channel, Steve, in that many of us do something similar because we've been inspired by you, but none of us come out with exactly the same thing in the end. Much love!@@campingwithsteve
Your videos are not nonsense Steve, it's very relaxing especially watching after a tiring day from work. Be happy Steve 😊
Northwest Arkansas here, this is the freshest video of yours that I've seen. This video also represents the plight of the homeless. They do all they can to survive, and when their hope runs out, we find them on the sidewalk hoping that the afterlife will be better than the life they had. Thank you Steve!
Pretty sure that Steve was unhoused at one time and living in a van.
@@datagrlyea he was
I’m Northeast Arkansas! I agree with you.
Every time you show a drive-thru, I can't get over how friendly people sound in Canada.
I'm always amazed at your bravery.
Today was a tough day at the end of a tough week. I genuinely find Steve’s company medicinal. Thank you for letting us come along on another adventure!
that's what he aims for with his videos
Steves bucketlist: stealth camping between frontlines, under the hollywood letters, nevada testsite, where else? Maybe in your garden while you watch his new video.
HEY STEVE!!!! just wanted to let you know I’m now a proud father today of our baby girl, currently watching you in our recovery room. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us❤❤ love you Steve.
Congratulations!
Congrats!!!
Congratulations
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! 👼💗
Im working a 9-5 retail job that due to short staff has been killing my energy for the past few years even getting into my private life, wasnt even granted a day off for funerals or other stuff. After some rough months sometimes only these videos keep me positive and male me enjoy alltje little things in life. Thank you for that steve!
We really appreciate your sacrifices and long hard hours of work. You and all the rail workers help make the world we know work 👍🏽👍🏽
I am with you. I am so sorry they dont treat you right. Please hang in there & thank you for the hard work you do for your customers.
@@StormTrackerWV thanks dude that means a lot, made my day!
The temptations facility of balls the temptation nuclear facility
I feel like Steve finding a good stealth camping spot is the equivalent of an angler finding a good fishing spot. What a great feeling.
imagine working at Mcd's and seeing some dude sneaking around in the trees all night recording you
Sounds like a dream come true
Steve is honestly the king of stealth camping at this point, I could watch this man talk about his life while painting a wall and be fully invested.
Welcome to painting with Steve! - WHEN?
Steve is to camping what mr rogers/steve irwin/bob ross were to their respective fields. The levels of wholesomeness in Steve's videos are unmatched, just a pure kind person.
Yessir! He got me through a lot in very early 2020 pre-pwndemic.
Ohh now I need to see a musical episode of camping with Steve where he stealth camps while talking to us like we are kids and makes comments like "now wasn't that accident with the butane stove just a happy food time"
Hello campers how is everyone today 😊 ("everyone, got yur step two's OK let's get started shall we now the thing about stealth camping is ...) I can see it now hehe won't it be fun
Motel 6, is looking much better than McDonald's camping....😮
You did not just compare this guy to Steve Irwin 🫠😂
@@tobybutt3435 Do you disagree? From a kindness of the heart perspective, Steve is just as kind as Steve.
Nothing better than getting back from a night's stealth camping to a new video of Steve stealth camping. Cheers man!
Anyone else like to fall asleep to this guy's videos? Not at all out of boredom. But they're just so relaxing.
Steve, my wife recently passed away (July) and I’ve been following you for ages. Your videos and your experience to get back on your feet are truly inspirational. I’ve often watched your videos in tears and I only wish I had half the bravery to get out and do what you do. Sending love and please don’t stop the content it’s made such a difference to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart here in the UK X
i hope you feel better man, have a good night
Hi Steve, I'm a French guy who is passionate about camping. there is nothing better than making your own little nest in a safe place and grilling your meat, or cooking anything in the evening, by the fire.
you give me lots of ideas. Be well and take care of yourself in these times.
Your English is perfect 🎉🇫🇷
I love how no one notices a man just causally walking into the trees after being dropped off. Steve is a legend!
A tip... Spray the bug spray on a sheet wipe and wipe any part of your body you can reach especially on your face. You can keep the spray out of your eyes a lot easier. A lot of the spray which you just spray on yourself just goes in the air. You can reuse the sheet wipes until they either get dirty or fall apart.
I’m waiting on the day Steve gets ready to camp and someone starts yelling “ITS CAMPING WITH STEVE!!” And his cover is blown.🥴😂
You gotta yell “IT’S STEVE THE PHOTOGRAPHER!!!” Lol 😅
@@larsonfamilyhouseif i ever run into steve this is exactly what im gonna do. "I love your wildlife photography!"
HUNKER DOWWNNNNN!!!!
haha, surprised it hasn't occurred already..
if i ever see Steve in the wild im either going to compliment him on his construction vest or have to yell Hunker Down!!!!
Seeing Steve smile warms the heart. But the downside is now we all know the bushes behind the drive-thru May conceal a stealth man 👀
Steve! Another superb video. Just what I needed to put me in my happy place. At around 8:20 in the video, when you noticed the “really creepy guy” sitting parked in his car and you quipped, “but who am I to talk, I’m sitting in the bush with a camera,” gave me the best laugh I’ve had all week. Thank you! You’re the best.
Haha, anytime 😉
Epic
💯 agreed😂😂😂
steve takes "you never know who's watching" to a new level.
This made my heart happy! My 8 yo nephew was in in accident and has been at Children’s Mercy Hospital for a week and I’ve been caring for his 11 yo brother and 3 yo sister and I’m emotionally exhausted. This made the things so much better! Thank you!
God blesses the ones who take care of little children. You might be exhausted now, but when they get older, they will remember it.
@@5roundsrapid263 amen
Sending you Blessings for being there for your family GODBLESS you❤❤
Greetings from Paul in Glasgow.scotland I knew beautiful wife was in heaven but just heard about crazy neighbour devastated pal ,being going through some mental health issues myself and haven't been able to keep up with all my subs bug uour different my friend take care mabey see u camping and step 2 ING..in bonnie scohland .respect my friend
I just had to comment a second time. I love stealth camping and Steve has helped me with my stress and anxiety and depression. Wilderness has a way in healing peoples minds and watching Steve helps me relax. Anything to do with the great outdoors relaxes me. It a great therapy. Thank you Steve
🌄 Nature is usually calm, and a great place to get away from everything crazy, even if just for a few hours.
It's our natural state of being to coexist with the wilderness, so it awakens our instincts to see things like this.
Steve, there's nothing I love more than seeing an upload from you. Your seemingly simple adventures are always uplifting and fun, and your insistence on picking up trash everywhere you go has lead to me purchasing mesh bags to bring with me fishing and ATV riding, and I now stop to pick up every piece I can. Thanks for being such a great human.
I beleive in leaving the camp site better than you found it.
Be part of the solution, not the problem.
Some of y’all won’t believe me but ever since I was younger I would imagine myself being homeless and would think of good spots where I would setup or sleep. Where I would sleep when the weather was cold or rainy. And then I come across Steve and his camping videos. I’m always so Intrigued as I live out my childhood thoughts or what if’s through Steve 😂. Thank you Steve.
did you grow up middle class then downgraded to poverty?
I’m 60. I did that all the time as a child. I think that would be a great place to sleep. Somewhere I could live if I “ran away”. I had no plans to run away. No reason to run away. But I was always on the lookout for shelter. 😂 Weird places. But always had cover and protection. I grew out of it but these videos reminded me of that.
Been feeling unwell for the past couple of weeks...battling late stage lymphoma/cancer. I just noticed the new video from Steve. Yay! Always helps take my mind off my poor health and let's me live vicariously through your videos. Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to film, edit and share with us all. I can't begin to tell you how many times watching a video by you has helped get my mind off the negative side of things. I'm always grateful to see a new video pop up. I wish I could meet you in person a d go camping in the snow. Florida girl here...we never get snow. I absolutely love the snow. It eases the pain all over my body and makes me feel refreshed. I wonder if they have the make a wish foundation for adults. My wish would be to meet Steve and go camping in the snow with him. Love you Steve! Keep on doing what you do. ❤
Prayers to you for comfort and peace. If you believe in Christ there's a home for you in heaven. Steve can you make this happen? I'd donate $$$ to pay for her to fly up to Canada. How's that for "Make an adult Wish"?
Best wishes to you my friend. Take care of yourself!
I’m sorry that you’re going through this. I wish you nothing, but the best. You must stay strong!
I pray some miracle happens for you. Also, look up Wim Hof; his technique could help, especially if you like the cold.
Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am.
Peace and love... ❤
I know this is probably random but everytime i see Steve picking up trash at the places he camps at i have made it also a habbit of mine to do the same everywhere I go. What a wholesome gentleman Steve is.
Same. Every time I see trash in our park I think of Steve.
Which in this context is a positive thing.
That's not random. It's a connection.
Leave it better than you found it😊
Once again I commend you on all your efforts thru adversity. Thank you for everything you do Steve. We all love and appreciate you!!
I stopped watching camping videos because my interests tend to change quite a lot but a youtube video I watched mentioned you and then I thought I'd come back and start watching again. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Wife and Mom. I'm glad to see you're still finding your sneaky spots and uploading for us viewers to enjoy! Your videos are entertaining and very relaxing! Keep yourself well and keep being awesome :)
I’m struggling to get to sleep but your videos help me let go of the anxiety issues that frequently keep me awake. Thanks Steve ❤️
That sucks..hate being restless lol..if in laying there wide awake,it'd dark amd queit, just no sounds, I can't sleep!!need to hear or watch something to drift off to!!😑😁✌️🍻
Do you ever try ASMR videos? If you search for them on RUclips, they have them with all kinds of different content for pretty much any interests you may have...they are so soothing (and entertaining) & they really help me drift off to sleep.
Steve! 🌟 Your camping adventures are a beacon of light in many of our lives. Amidst personal challenges, the joy and humor you bring is unparalleled. Remember, every time we click play, it’s a testament to your strength and spirit. You’re not just camping, you’re inspiring thousands. Keep shining!
Steve: I'll take a McStealthy plz.
Drive thru attendant: sir that's not on the menu
Steve: I'm already gone
Drive thru attendant: gone where sir?
Steve: step 2 time.
Drive thru attendant: sir?!
Steve: time to hunker down
Drive thru attendant: sir you need to order or leave.
*... six hours later...*
Steve: I'll take a McMuffin and coffee, with a side of the perfect crime 🖐️😎
Drive thru attendant: please pull ahead
Props to Steve for still cooking a meal, even though he's camped right next to McDonald's.
Inspirational 😊just for fun even if it's necessary
McD is trash, even homeless people should try not to eat form there, unless of course circumstances force them to). Rather have soup kitchen meals than McD trash, if I were homeless.
IT wouldn't be stealthy if he bought food and went right ahead to a nearby bush. plus he doesn't have a car
steve cooks food not "food"
McDonald's sells meals?
Steve is the sweetest bastard on RUclips, and the content is so damn wholesome. What a gem
Steve, I've said it before but I'll say it again - your loyal subscribers don't mind a jot if your upload schedule goes awry from time to time. We're always just glad to get that new video notification, and to see you're doing okay.
Even though I obviously don't know you personally, watching your content makes me feel like I'm getting updates from an old buddy and that's comforting.
You keep posting 'em, and we'll keep watching 'em. 🙂
Steve Wallis, coming to a theater, motel, forest, roundabout, sign, or woods near you!!! You will never know where Steve will camp next! He could be right next to you without you even knowing! Haha, great to see you keeping your positivity up high even through the very tough times you’ve been in. Cheers Steve, to another adventure.
We need to make a bunch of life-sized standees of Steve crouching by a camp stove and put them all over the country behind signs, under bushes, in the woods, between dumpsters, etc. That way if someone actually sees him they'll think it's just another cardboard cutout.
Hey Steve, I want you to know that your videos helped get me back into minimalist camping. Not stealth so much but just keeping it simple. Thanks man!
Always be camping! 👍
@@campingwithsteve you bet buddy!
Hope all is okay Steve! Whatever is going on, we know life gets in the way and it's certainly thrown rocks at you lately! Most importantly, we hope you are safe and well. Much love
Been a bit worried as well. Praying he's ok.
you may think some of your videos are boring but for those of us who aren't able to get out and about as much as we'd like, your videos are very enjoyable. Thank you.
I always need to eat before watching Camping w/ Steve because he cooks better looking meals on a camping stove than I eat at home.
Love the smile on Steve’s face when he finds a great stealth spot
Steve the joy and excitement you had at this spot was contagious. Keep on keeping on brother. Glad you found a primo spot.
I love how you’re so considerate to even blur out the license plates, you’re a good man Steve ❤
I love that Steve is worried about the dude stealth camping in his car seeing him stealth camping in the bushes
maybe they should share a beer
stealth camping stand off
At this point, whenever I see a nice stealth camping spot, I assume Steve is already in it.
We all do. Steve is always only a patch of woods away.
Only Steve understands his hierarchy of camping spots.😅 Im glad this was a good one for him.
I love his sense of propriety when it comes to spelling "drive -thru." Otherwise there's very little propriety in his adventures.
Watching your videos is like hanging out with an old friend. Thanks for bein' there, Steve~
4 great adventure videos in 1 month, we are truly blessed! 😎
I love stealth camping with you, Steve. And I love your smile when you're happy! Thank you!
Thanks so much :)
The fact you casually just made a trendy internet recipie in the process of doing this was amazing
We don't care if you think that you are late. You are right on time, Steve, it's YOUR SHOW! You are much loved!
I don't even know the schedule and I've been watching for years 😅
They come when they come.
Good way to spend an evening...stealth camping with Steve..love it! ❤
Steve, you’re a national treasure to all North American campers. Pure joy on this one. ❤
I second this
So does this make him an International Treasure?!?! 😁😁😁
Thanks for letting us vicariously stealth camp “thru” you. 😊
I love how steve tries to be so careful opening his beer as if anyone can actually hear it haha
It's Canada...we all can hear it, most just don't care 😂
And as if it's any more or less stealthy than just opening the damn thing fast lol
That’s Steve. Gotta do it as stealthily as possible
i assure you , cracking a tin at night can be heard from miles around.
Then goes rattling dishes &: rustling the damn tarp... 😂
The irony of describing the "creepy guy just sitting in his car" from the guy just sitting in the woods with a camera! Great video Steve.
I was thinking IMAGINE what the guy in his car would think if he spotted Steve....goes to show what looks creepy as ALL get out may be innocent as can be🤣
@@IMDARKFIRE007 Perspective! And Steve has it. LOL
Back in the 80s my elementary school was next door to a McDonalds, with woods behind both. We'd play in those woods behind both all the time. Thanks for bringing back some memories Steve!
You're a good soul steve, I hope you find happiness and good health for the rest of your life.
The moment you started frying up in the frying pan directly across from the McDonalds drive thru..😂 had me in stitches 😂 Quality content as always! Thank you Steve for just being you!
I was recently driving from Texas to Kansas and drove past several closed weigh stations. My first thought? This would be a great stealth camping site. Steve would approve. Thanks for sharing fun videos!!!
I think he did something like that already.
What a stealther! Always an adventure Steve, thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for watching.
@@campingwithsteve Cheers! 🍻
I have insomnia and watching your videos at night relaxes me and helps me fall asleep, thank you so much steve
I am surprise Steve doesn't run into homeless people camping in the woods too. Great fall colors. Nice.
Please come and do a UK stealth series over the winter Steve! It's too cold to do it in Canada and you'll be able to find a whole new level of randomness over here!
Try the desert in the South West. Our Colorado desert is so warm and sunny many Canadians called "Snowbirds" come south for the winter. They tend to stay in trailer parks and such.
Most of the State of Nevada is Federal land. Most of that is Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service. Most of that is open to "Dispersed" Camping. That means it is legal to Stealth camp. You can do it openly or hide for added excitement. I believe those lands compare to "Crown Lands."
Or down here in Virginia!
'too cold' ???
That sounds like a challenge........
@@jameshudkins2210 Even the southwest can be relatively cold, although nowhere near as cold as anywhere in Canada.
I did a big six week winter camping trip in the southwest, sleeping almost solely in my truck. Even in December, a relatively "warm" winter month, the temperatures at night were below freezing every single night in New Mexico, even when I was camping way far south along the US-Mexico border. The elevation really gets ya. Southeast Arizona, even along the southern border, is still quite elevated and cold (freezing every night). The weather in southwest Arizona, much lower in elevation, is absolutely beautiful in winter.
As for more northerly destinations in both those states, I had some COLD nights. The lowest I slept in that trip was -10 F while sleeping at about 11k feet outside of Las Vegas, NM. So, in total, most of the desert southwest is not as warm in the winter as people may think, mostly due to the elevation.
Agreed and Agreed. I was so cold in Barstow during a winter night.
The Snow Birds do best in lower elevation as well as further south. One of the most famous is the Slabs near the Salton Sea in Southern California. It is just about Sea Level. The Imperial Valley and near the lower Colorado River can be OK in Winter. @@TheHamburgler123

“What a time to be alive!” while sitting in the bushes above a McDonalds drive-thru. LMAO. Newcomer here and already hooked. This reminds me of sneaking out of the house to hang with friends during my 8th grade summer.
