Long time ago I was a Navy Recruiter and I met a young man walking down the road from my station after getting finished PTing and I asked him if he knew where the Navy recruiting station was and he told me yes so I asked him to jump in the car and show me...long story short he became one of my DEPers. He was always early for our weekly PT and one day I asked him if he needed a ride home because it was beginning to rain and he told me he was homeless and lived in the storm drain near the road I first met him on. I offered him a place to stay at my house, totally not allowed by the Navy, but he politely refused and said he was doing just fine where he was. I told him to prove it and he took me to his storm drain and it was actually very nice, similar to some of the hunting shelters I used to stay at when I hunted in Alaska. When he left for bootcamp he asked me if he could store his camping stuff in my shed at my place and he would come get it when he got to his A school. Very nice young man, you would not know by looking at him that first day he was homeless and living in a storm drain.
@Omertà Don83 I asked him to prove it out of concern for his living conditions...I found lot of people I worked with to get into service down played thier circumstances worried it would affect thier enlistment process...I wanted to make sure his situation was not needing any outside assistance. Was not calling him a lier or anything, he understood my intentions.
@Omertà Don83 I loved being in the Navy, it was hard at times but I have great memories with great friends over seas in many different countries. If its not too late maybe you could still get you a piece...

@@campingwithstevehey Steve, been enjoying your videos for years now and it’s comments like these that make me admire you. It’s an over 2 year old video and here you are still replying to comments. I hope you have a great day man, thanks for your videos
I believe most viewers don't understand how pragmatic the situations you present are entirely viable and actually quite necessary for anyone who has found themselves in difficult circumstances. Been there.
When that car stopped over him I just imagined a serial killer dropping a body in and Steve being interviewed for a Netflix documentary about how he caught the storm drain slayer.
I love how when Steve gets in sneaky mode, in the middle of nowhere, his voice gets very quiet as if hiding so no one hears what he's going to do. Haha! Another great video Steve!! Thank you!
Hey Steve...hope you are making it ok brother....I lost my wife of 25 years the same way except we knew she was dying. I woke up on a Sunday morning about a year and a half ago and she was gone. I know the pain you are feeling and the emotions you are dealing with. I know right now it doesn't seem like it but I can tell you it in fact does get better. The bad days get fewer and farther between but you have to keep your eye on the prize....much love
@@rezcellent Steve's beautiful wife Jess died two weeks ago today. They went to bed Sat night, if I recall correctly, and only Steve woke up Sun morning. No word on the cause, but my experience is that takes many months to determine. We youtube friends of Steve are so shocked on his behalf. Poor dear man. He is only 40 and his wife would be about the same. Wish I could give him a big hug and provide a few meals or do chores for him. I've been in similar shoes.
@@danevertt3210 My heart is still breaking for Steve. I wonder how he is doing right now. It will take YEARS to feel even a bit normal again. They were such a good couple together. Bless Jess, bless Steve, bless her poor dear parents. And her school children too. What a terrible shock. Sending everyone love.
Camping in the middle of nowhere in a culvert and a car stops directly over him, that only happens to Steve, lol. They were probably relieving themselves after too many step twos. Love you videos, keep them coming.
Yes, so true his tips and stealthy camping makes me believe he may have been playing and camping in his smart neighbor's yard too much. We all know how it is when you can't pay for all that propane, tarps, sleeping pad, O sorry big boy bed. Is this why you leave such nicely made sleeping spots all over the place? To lazy after a long day of biking to set up a real camp that you take down and continue on. I am all for the adventure but you are not really doing it like the rest of the woodsman and woman. Dude it will be there in the spring ???? WTF Steve
There have been people on previous videos criticizing him for no damn reason! Just because they read an article or watched a video about him and didn't like how he was living his life. Probably people who are just jealous that they can just go camp whenever and wherever they want.
In this world we live in, there’s always going to be some idiots whose life’s work is to complain, insult and/or demean others; quintuple that when it involves Social Media.
Imagine being referred to as the "crazy neighbor" when your neighbor who lives in a house with his wife decides to go camping in a storm drain in the middle of winter for fun.
@@XrpAndy obviously you didnt read my comment properly. I said IF, IF being the middle word in English. Had you of understood you merely had to comment it was a joke, without addition of the positive negative...dude....You see I cant be held responsible for what is interpreted, only for what I say...So IF what you said is a joke, I suggest you might try humour the next time lol...V
Crazy Neighbor is the best! Volunteering to drive all the way out there to help Steve so he doesn't have to walk 2km back to his car with all that stuff on his back, cold, tired, and hungry. Then a good breakfast in warmth. A friend that's pure gold! Would that everyone could have friends like that. Thanks and blessings for sharing this experience with us. 🙏👍👍♥️♥️♥️🙂
This video was randomly recommended to me when it came out. I’ve watch almost every video available since then! Amazing channel, and videos. love ya Steve!
Proud to say I've been with Steve since his early days. This guy has some of the most original content on RUclips. Its just such a weird niche. Stealth Camping. Lol. Genius. Also edit: Next time put two layers of tarps. One way down at the end of the tunnel to absorb the wind, and you don't have to listen to the annoying tarp while you sleep. And the second one near you, it won't suck in and out now and provides an extra layer
I watcha. Few of these, mostly car/van camping, the people do it by choice so they can travel.. they work from their laptop, the still shower, they still do everything other people do, and they travel, one travels with her dog in a Prius. Sounds good to me..
Next up: Stealth camping in the back seat of a random stranger's car. "Alright, it sounds like we're in the driveway and they have gone into the house now. Before I set up my sleeping bag, it's time for a Step 2. I'll be out of here before they leave in the morning if all goes to plan." On another note, some type of black cloth blanket would have probably been better for the culvert and wouldn't crinkle with the wind. Wouldn't let light through, either. Actually, a black blanket supported by magnets on both sides would mean that you wouldn't have to worry about the wind or turning the light off every time a vehicle passed. They wouldn't be able to see even a small amount of light coming out of the culvert, either. The side closest to the road could be sealed with the most magnets. A small 1/4" block of plywood maybe 1' x 1' or 2 x 2 would help provide a level space on top of the corrugations for the heater and such. Of course wood is flammable, so you'd never something flame resistant to put in between the heater and the wood.
I love that a law office donated to the beer fund. I don’t need a lawyer at the moment but the next time I do I will be contacting the Law Office of Thomas K. Brown, LLC.
Steve, I have loads of stories of "real life"stealth camping as a 13 year old runaway, for over a year. I can just say how fortunate I am to still be here after it all. Your videos surface back a lot of memories.
@@jerkyboy8897 Thanks for the interest. I'll be semi-retired in a couple of months and have some plans for a book. Many of my good friends have encouraged me over the years to write about this. I think will help to bring some closure as well. You might follow up on my channel in the future see if I post any notifications.
Have to admit I was homeless years ago but much younger ... it was some of the best times I can remember. Something about self preservation and finding a way to survive that really makes a person feel alive. I’m grateful to own my own home now but think of those times often.
Homeless THEN homeowner. For many in Australia (we haven't had a decent housing crash for a while), it's home "ownership" (read: mortgage) followed by homelessness. People buying $300,000 homes for a million dollars and expecting the market to increase. Sheer lunacy. Hopefully in your area house prices are normal. We live in frustrating times in the Sydney area if yoh want to live under 4 walls and own it.
@@nickhayley Nope!..Here in california the prices for an average house is shameful...You would feel bad for forking over the money for a house that looks like a cheesebox.
My wife and I lived in a motel for a few months when we were both unemployed. If we had failed to find work just 1 month longer, we would have been out of home and looking for a nice bridge somewhere. We got past those times and live in a nice apartment making good wages with savings, but part of me still feels like those days never ended. This video was like every nightmare I had in those bad days.
that feeling of "those were the days" are you edited the past to make it seem better - we always look back at crazy times that were... interesting to live through and think "those were the days".
seeriously whoever got a problem with steve has a problem with me ... keep on keepin on steve .. we have your back .... plus your awesome ..stay true brother
Steve, try using a movers blanket pad or regular thin blanket instead of plastic tarp. Should be little to no noise if the wind moves it and a little air should be able to pass through it making it move less. Should help retain heat better too. Cheers 🍻
If you find yourself contemplating living in a storm drain because of high rent and devalued currency, it might be time to reevaluate Biden as president.
Watching your video has helped me so much, I’ve recently become very ill and I’ve been in and out of hospital, watching your videos has kept me going through some rough treatments, I have promised myself if I get better I’m going to buy a tent, a few bits and bobs and try stealth camping ⛺️ until then I have loads of your adventures to catch up with. Love and blessings from the 🇬🇧
@Whom The Everlasting Hills Await rofl I'm trying to figure out what it could be a euphemism for. Haven't landed on anything yet but it sure is making me laugh.
This, 100%, this. Also, if the culvert was say, 20 feet long (just estimating) Setup the cot in the middle, or roughly 10 feet in. Setup the tarps with the picture of the opposite end. This would serve multiple functions: with the heater in the middle, it would keep it warmer. Also this would make this spot further from the entrances. Second I would get some wood and set it up in a + or X shape just inside the tarp. Then wrap some string through it so the tarp didnt flap as much in the wind. Looking down a dark hole at night would reveal less perhaps if the tarp was also dark brown or black.
I’ve found shelter twice in my life in a storm drain. Once in the Sonoran desert while hitchhiking and it suddenly started snowing and raining this was in Mexico. Other time was below zero Minneapolis. Opened grate to keep people out and crawled maybe 100 feet back in to a turn and set up sleeping spot and was much warmer in there. Bet I wouldn’t have made it outdoors that night without the storm drain. Thanks for sharing
Up next: Steve builds a toilet paper fort in Walmart and stealth camps in it overnight EDIT: If Steve can find a 24 hour store, this can be done without breaking the law 😅
Camps on top of a skyscraper. Camps in an airplane bathroom. Camps in the bed of some guy's truck. Camps underneath someone's trailer. Camps in the back of a police car. Canps in prison
Hello Steve. Love your videos and have been rewatching a lot of your stuff. I’m glad you had Crazy Neighbor like you did, you both were wonderful (Rest in Peace Crazy Neighbor). Stay strong Steve
When we were teens, we used to smoke cigarettes and weed in a culvert that had a constant stream, we took 2x4s and a piece of plywood and made a platform across it. We also has a weighted coffee can with a rope where we hid our stash under the water where it ran out of the pipe.(in the deep spot)
Me and my friends did a similar thing in a storm drain when we were kids. We got a chair and a wooden pallet down there and it had raised concrete platforms on each side. All we ever did was smoke weed and drink stolen beers down there. Good times!
I did the same with friends but we didn't smoke we just thought it was cool running around underground yelling at ppl like IT the movie. Plus in my city the sewer system has amazing graffiti all alone the walls. It's about as wide as the street
As a homeless guy, i find that if you keep yourself sane and useful.. there will nearly always be someone with a floor for you to sleep on. Barring that, and some ethical flexibility.. you'll nearly never need to worry about much. Food is free. If you can take it during the morning busy hours. And if you get caught, jail gives you three hot meals and a rack to rest on. A shower. Cable tv. New friends. Finding food pantries is easy. Winter clothing and blankets are often provided for us. With the extra clothes, you can just ghetto rig the tent or enclosure to weatherproof it. Get some spray paint and camouflage your rent or area. Don't leave footprints for others to see. Don't litter. Don't "look" homeless. Don't ask for change. And done. If you look and act like the average person, you'll be treated as such. Sleep well, fellow humans. :) Oh... And i guess you might wonder how i posted this. Cell phones are free. Ask a friend of they have an old one they don't need. Most people do. Wifi is open and fast in many places. Charge up whenever you can. Get afree. Calling app. Chat with friends to keep sane. I guess i can't really tell you how easy it is. Go downtown to the biggest city - clean dishes for a few bucks. Look around for good stuff - need a glass? Club district during busy hour. Someone always leaves behind something. Wash that. Need food? Peoplewatch. Oftentimes a kid won't eat theirs, picky eaters that they are. Mom throws it away? A few chicken nuggets and some fries? Better than starving. Dig in that trash, foo. Never take something you didn't see personally get thrown away. Do favors. Run to the store. They'll give you a dollar and a few cigarettes. Go to the smoking area behind the restaurant, chat up the employees. See if they're in need of a cook or dishwasher. Off the books, untaxed.
I was just waiting for the man eating dinosaur to come walking through the storm drain, LOL. 🤣 Reminded me of the Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie, LOL. 😆
As a reward for sleeping in a big pipe I'd love to see a Christmas special or something where Steve stealth camps in a nice hotel room in a tent and gets some step 2s brought to the door by room service 😀👍
@@se7encureton I've been locked out on a hotel roof before (I was working there at the time). It was really peaceful while I waited to be rescued. It would be perfect for a stealth camp Lol
Or like so of the guys did at Forrester school when they were in the rappelling amd rope thing. Set up ropes and climbed up above the roof over Headmaster office with madrasses and all . Camped one night there ,the next night above the garage same way. Mre and such they had. Most nervous ive been i was standing on the porch there checking from ground they got all up, when door went up, Headmaster came out, just a few second nervous chat whilst they were feets in the air above him with all gear. Mission Impossible moment that was.
When your crazy neighbor calls to ask what you're doing and you reply that you're sleeping in a culvert, maybe it's time to re-evaluate who's the crazy neighbor 😁
Steve is scared of the driver in the car parked over him, probably talking on his phone. But, can you imagine how scared the driver would be if Steve emerged from underneath the road and walked towards him?!? Rubber on the road wouldn't be the only skid marks he'd leave behind!
That's creepy to think about from both perspectives. You're either sleeping in a storm drain and a car randomly stops right on top of you- or you have to stop your car in the middle of nowhere thinking you're all alone for miles but there's a stranger literally right under you.
@@girlofthealpines Great anecdote buddy, i have lived in many countries too, so i guess my argument is valid now? Is that how this works? Americans have thin skin it seems
@@Juuk-D Do europhiles just not understand that dangerous people exist? Talk to any central american or hispanic not from spain or chile. They will tell you.
I love your video's Steve! You don't need to keep upping the ante as far as I'm concerned. Just keep up with your original format. We would be devastated if you risked too much and ended up hurt. Your channel is giving us enough with your content and especially your charisma. Thanks again for making these vids!
Your camping trips fascinate me! You never know where this world can take you.Very,very high places or leave you broke and homeless. Your expirements can give people survival knowledge. Thanks
We watch these videos and feel like Steve is relatively safe because we’re “with” him and we know he made it out since the videos up. But I can’t imagine how scary it must be actually being there out there alone talking to no one but a camera
Steve: commits a crime by camping illegally Also Steve: cleans up the place and leaves it in better condition than when he found it How very Canadian of him lol
@@McRambro Sometimes we/they are camping illegally. But the more stealthy & careful you/we are, the less likely we'll be noticed! The Rule: Safety First! & Like Steve W., if it is safe to do so; go out from your camp a bit & look back at your camp to see if it can be seen.
One other tidbit: if you smoke, toke, or have a fire, be aware of where the smoke goes. In the mornings in summer, the drafts go uphill as the day warms up. Then, in afternoons & at night, the drafts tend to flow downward. Caution is the key.
I know im 3 years late and by no means a stealth camp expert...after the 3rd or 4th time watching this video over the years, I think a moving blanket or some kind of medium thicknesses blanket would have worked better than the tarp. With the 100lb magnets holding them up, would have kept in the heat, noise and light and kept out the wind! Maybe try it in a future video! Love the content Steve, still watching all of your videos!
I would't worry about cougars steve, they tend to go for younger men.
Good one dude. lol.

Bring blankets instead of tarp. They stay silent. Hang a thick dark one on each side they the heat will stay in and no light pollution.

This is the video that started me on this channel. Thank you for all the entertainment Steve!
Same here. Time flies....
This is the kind of dedication it takes to succeed.
When that car stopped over him I just imagined a serial killer dropping a body in and Steve being interviewed for a Netflix documentary about how he caught the storm drain slayer.
Imagine the documentary having to take a minute to explain what stealth camping is and why he was there.
Plot twist, they where actually looking for Steve. Hes the real serial killer. 😱
I thought the same thing!
😂🤣😂
Why would serial killer spare Steve, a big witness in this hypothetical scenario ? :-? And it is not live streaming.. so isn’t that scary
Imagine being the guy who was already stealth camping in the culvert seeing all this gear come flying down...
That's hilarious
😂😂😂😂😂

youre an actual traveler... only a traveler uses the term stealth camping...🤣😂
I am laughing out loud as I read this.... I can totally picture this. Too funny!!
This is such a wholesome channel I dunno why anyone would leave a mean comment. Just a man and his beer camping in unconventional places.

I love how when Steve gets in sneaky mode, in the middle of nowhere, his voice gets very quiet as if hiding so no one hears what he's going to do. Haha! Another great video Steve!! Thank you!
If the police were to happen to see you, all bets would be off for camping there that's why.
He mentioned it was to avoid the echo problems
Hey Steve...hope you are making it ok brother....I lost my wife of 25 years the same way except we knew she was dying. I woke up on a Sunday morning about a year and a half ago and she was gone. I know the pain you are feeling and the emotions you are dealing with. I know right now it doesn't seem like it but I can tell you it in fact does get better. The bad days get fewer and farther between but you have to keep your eye on the prize....much love
Bless you Phil. I am thinking of you both.
What happened to his wife? I’m a new sub here. Also sorry for your loss
@@rezcellent Steve's beautiful wife Jess died two weeks ago today. They went to bed Sat night, if I recall correctly, and only Steve woke up Sun morning. No word on the cause, but my experience is that takes many months to determine. We youtube friends of Steve are so shocked on his behalf. Poor dear man. He is only 40 and his wife would be about the same. Wish I could give him a big hug and provide a few meals or do chores for him. I've been in similar shoes.
@@livableincome losing a spouse at the age of 40, suddenly, is pretty rough
@@danevertt3210 My heart is still breaking for Steve. I wonder how he is doing right now. It will take YEARS to feel even a bit normal again. They were such a good couple together. Bless Jess, bless Steve, bless her poor dear parents. And her school children too. What a terrible shock. Sending everyone love.
Camping in the middle of nowhere in a culvert and a car stops directly over him, that only happens to Steve, lol. They were probably relieving themselves after too many step twos. Love you videos, keep them coming.
Who would ever possibly have anything bad to say about Steve? He's just a wholesome dude doing whacky camping trips and sharing them with us.
I think the only bad thing that i heard someone talk about Steve is that he should have eat more vegetables
Yes, so true his tips and stealthy camping makes me believe he may have been playing and camping in his smart neighbor's yard too much. We all know how it is when you can't pay for all that propane, tarps, sleeping pad, O sorry big boy bed. Is this why you leave such nicely made sleeping spots all over the place? To lazy after a long day of biking to set up a real camp that you take down and continue on. I am all for the adventure but you are not really doing it like the rest of the woodsman and woman. Dude it will be there in the spring ???? WTF Steve
There have been people on previous videos criticizing him for no damn reason! Just because they read an article or watched a video about him and didn't like how he was living his life. Probably people who are just jealous that they can just go camp whenever and wherever they want.
In this world we live in, there’s always going to be some idiots whose life’s work is to complain, insult and/or demean others; quintuple that when it involves Social Media.
I thought about living in a culvert but realized it was just a pipe dream.
Good one!😇

Really, you gotta admit this was solid
Ha, yes, that's a good'n 😆👍

Imagine being referred to as the "crazy neighbor" when your neighbor who lives in a house with his wife decides to go camping in a storm drain in the middle of winter for fun.
Steve is Steve. The crazy neighbor is his friend who sometimes helps Steve on his adventures.
Imagine reading this and coming to the conclusion that an explanation of the origins of crazy neighbor's name was necessary.
That's why we like Steve lol
Hahaha peas in a pod
I know this is very old, but the look of sheer terror in his eyes immersed me like no other. I love this channel.

#1 lesson learned from camping with Steve... anywhere and everywhere IS a campsite!
Just told my girl "Camping with Steve just uploaded a new video!"
We're now eating our dinner watching him. The dude is so relaxing. ❤️🤣😎⛺🚙
Does anybody else watch every second of his videos and you don’t really know why but you never regret it?! This dude just has a good vibe!
This video was randomly recommended to me when it came out. I’ve watch almost every video available since then! Amazing channel, and videos. love ya Steve!
Glad you enjoy it!
He sounds like Louis CK sometimes lol
Proud to say I've been with Steve since his early days. This guy has some of the most original content on RUclips. Its just such a weird niche. Stealth Camping. Lol. Genius.
Also edit: Next time put two layers of tarps. One way down at the end of the tunnel to absorb the wind, and you don't have to listen to the annoying tarp while you sleep. And the second one near you, it won't suck in and out now and provides an extra layer
@Hyperion 666 I'm sorry Steve is blocking up your favourite storm drains
I watcha. Few of these, mostly car/van camping, the people do it by choice so they can travel.. they work from their laptop, the still shower, they still do everything other people do, and they travel, one travels with her dog in a Prius. Sounds good to me..
Next up: Stealth camping in the back seat of a random stranger's car. "Alright, it sounds like we're in the driveway and they have gone into the house now. Before I set up my sleeping bag, it's time for a Step 2. I'll be out of here before they leave in the morning if all goes to plan." On another note, some type of black cloth blanket would have probably been better for the culvert and wouldn't crinkle with the wind. Wouldn't let light through, either. Actually, a black blanket supported by magnets on both sides would mean that you wouldn't have to worry about the wind or turning the light off every time a vehicle passed. They wouldn't be able to see even a small amount of light coming out of the culvert, either. The side closest to the road could be sealed with the most magnets. A small 1/4" block of plywood maybe 1' x 1' or 2 x 2 would help provide a level space on top of the corrugations for the heater and such. Of course wood is flammable, so you'd never something flame resistant to put in between the heater and the wood.
More like under the car. "Now, we have to be very careful not to oversleep, the consequences of that would be disastrous as they drive over me."
@@nealm6764 "And we have here our CO2 monitor because we don't want to die if they crank up early. You should always have one."
I like it how Steve is so considerate to his viewers, trying to make it less echoing for us. What a legend, respect mate from Australia.🇭🇲
Imagine passing over this culvert not knowing there’s a man living like a gopher underneath you haha

Have to admit I was homeless years ago but much younger ... it was some of the best times I can remember. Something about self preservation and finding a way to survive that really makes a person feel alive. I’m grateful to own my own home now but think of those times often.
Homeless THEN homeowner. For many in Australia (we haven't had a decent housing crash for a while), it's home "ownership" (read: mortgage) followed by homelessness. People buying $300,000 homes for a million dollars and expecting the market to increase. Sheer lunacy.
Hopefully in your area house prices are normal. We live in frustrating times in the Sydney area if yoh want to live under 4 walls and own it.
@@nickhayley Nope!..Here in california the prices for an average house is shameful...You would feel bad for forking over the money for a house that looks like a cheesebox.
Lol, tf you think society originated from? No sh*t you feel alive
My wife and I lived in a motel for a few months when we were both unemployed. If we had failed to find work just 1 month longer, we would have been out of home and looking for a nice bridge somewhere. We got past those times and live in a nice apartment making good wages with savings, but part of me still feels like those days never ended. This video was like every nightmare I had in those bad days.
that feeling of "those were the days" are you edited the past to make it seem better - we always look back at crazy times that were... interesting to live through and think "those were the days".

Steve, try using a movers blanket pad or regular thin blanket instead of plastic tarp. Should be little to no noise if the wind moves it and a little air should be able to pass through it making it move less. Should help retain heat better too. Cheers 🍻
Or a nylon cloth tarp, thin, lightweight and water resistant.

Steve needs a custom tarp with a picture of the culvert on both ends and then just camp between them.
Bugs bunny and the coyote lol
Illusion 100
🤣
This, 100%, this. Also, if the culvert was say, 20 feet long (just estimating) Setup the cot in the middle, or roughly 10 feet in. Setup the tarps with the picture of the opposite end. This would serve multiple functions: with the heater in the middle, it would keep it warmer. Also this would make this spot further from the entrances. Second I would get some wood and set it up in a + or X shape just inside the tarp. Then wrap some string through it so the tarp didnt flap as much in the wind. Looking down a dark hole at night would reveal less perhaps if the tarp was also dark brown or black.
Yes!
I’ve found shelter twice in my life in a storm drain. Once in the Sonoran desert while hitchhiking and it suddenly started snowing and raining this was in Mexico. Other time was below zero Minneapolis. Opened grate to keep people out and crawled maybe 100 feet back in to a turn and set up sleeping spot and was much warmer in there. Bet I wouldn’t have made it outdoors that night without the storm drain. Thanks for sharing
Although I think Sonoran desert during rain/snow could have been bad if it had flash flooded.
Up next: Steve builds a toilet paper fort in Walmart and stealth camps in it overnight
EDIT: If Steve can find a 24 hour store, this can be done without breaking the law 😅
The ultimate stealth camp! 😂
Absolutely stellar! That's the best idea on here so far. Let's make it happen! He literally have a supermarket at the tip of his fingers.
Camps on top of a skyscraper. Camps in an airplane bathroom. Camps in the bed of some guy's truck. Camps underneath someone's trailer. Camps in the back of a police car. Canps in prison

Thank you 🍻 Cheers
When we were teens, we used to smoke cigarettes and weed in a culvert that had a constant stream, we took 2x4s and a piece of plywood and made a platform across it. We also has a weighted coffee can with a rope where we hid our stash under the water where it ran out of the pipe.(in the deep spot)
Me and my friends did a similar thing in a storm drain when we were kids. We got a chair and a wooden pallet down there and it had raised concrete platforms on each side. All we ever did was smoke weed and drink stolen beers down there. Good times!
I did the same with friends but we didn't smoke we just thought it was cool running around underground yelling at ppl like IT the movie. Plus in my city the sewer system has amazing graffiti all alone the walls. It's about as wide as the street
Cool
@ripper right what did you do those three days for food and water?
Are you me? We did the exact same things growing up. We had a whole base in this one system near our houses.
If I wasn’t a regular viewer of your videos, I’d think this is a video of how a homeless guy takes shelter in the winter.
Lol it still shows you though
This camping kills the homeless guy.
Thank you for commenting on my thoughts
As a homeless guy, i find that if you keep yourself sane and useful.. there will nearly always be someone with a floor for you to sleep on.
Barring that, and some ethical flexibility.. you'll nearly never need to worry about much.
Food is free. If you can take it during the morning busy hours. And if you get caught, jail gives you three hot meals and a rack to rest on. A shower. Cable tv. New friends.
Finding food pantries is easy. Winter clothing and blankets are often provided for us. With the extra clothes, you can just ghetto rig the tent or enclosure to weatherproof it.
Get some spray paint and camouflage your rent or area. Don't leave footprints for others to see. Don't litter. Don't "look" homeless. Don't ask for change.
And done. If you look and act like the average person, you'll be treated as such.
Sleep well, fellow humans. :)
Oh... And i guess you might wonder how i posted this.
Cell phones are free. Ask a friend of they have an old one they don't need. Most people do. Wifi is open and fast in many places. Charge up whenever you can. Get afree. Calling app. Chat with friends to keep sane. I guess i can't really tell you how easy it is.
Go downtown to the biggest city - clean dishes for a few bucks.
Look around for good stuff - need a glass? Club district during busy hour. Someone always leaves behind something. Wash that.
Need food? Peoplewatch. Oftentimes a kid won't eat theirs, picky eaters that they are. Mom throws it away? A few chicken nuggets and some fries? Better than starving. Dig in that trash, foo. Never take something you didn't see personally get thrown away.
Do favors. Run to the store. They'll give you a dollar and a few cigarettes.
Go to the smoking area behind the restaurant, chat up the employees. See if they're in need of a cook or dishwasher. Off the books, untaxed.
I was just waiting for the man eating dinosaur to come walking through the storm drain, LOL. 🤣 Reminded me of the Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie, LOL. 😆
Steve could do voice narrating for novels. would listen to his auidobooks all day
Steve absolutely has a great, commercially marketable voice!
This
Thank you Steve for that video and every other video
I completely agree! He would be a phenomenal voice actor! I'm betting that Jess agrees with us! 👍
Good radio voice for sure.
If you decide to give the culvert a second try, try putting your tarps at an angle to help make them less of a wind catch. Love the videos
As a reward for sleeping in a big pipe I'd love to see a Christmas special or something where Steve stealth camps in a nice hotel room in a tent and gets some step 2s brought to the door by room service 😀👍
Hah I don’t think he would like it to much
Unless maybe he camps on the roof?
@@se7encureton I've been locked out on a hotel roof before (I was working there at the time). It was really peaceful while I waited to be rescued. It would be perfect for a stealth camp Lol
@@erinmckenna5538 I think so too.
Would look totally cool to !
Or like so of the guys did at Forrester school when they were in the rappelling amd rope thing. Set up ropes and climbed up above the roof over Headmaster office with madrasses and all . Camped one night there ,the next night above the garage same way. Mre and such they had. Most nervous ive been i was standing on the porch there checking from ground they got all up, when door went up, Headmaster came out, just a few second nervous chat whilst they were feets in the air above him with all gear. Mission Impossible moment that was.
" dum di da du di dam, Camping at the Ritz .." .
Steve:"Hey buddy, can you come pick me up at that culvert under the road?"
Crazy neighbor:"Sure!"
Now, that's friendship. No questions asked.
Of course the "crazy neighbour" thinks Steve is the crazy neighbour.
I think if you knew him you'd just be used to it.
He could just meet him at the manhole cover
When your crazy neighbor calls to ask what you're doing and you reply that you're sleeping in a culvert, maybe it's time to re-evaluate who's the crazy neighbor 😁
Brother I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, and I hope you know how much people love and appreciate your content. Your awesome bro thank you
That would be an interesting convo with the cops trying to convince them you're not homeless and in there for fun

Steve is scared of the driver in the car parked over him, probably talking on his phone. But, can you imagine how scared the driver would be if Steve emerged from underneath the road and walked towards him?!? Rubber on the road wouldn't be the only skid marks he'd leave behind!

That's creepy to think about from both perspectives. You're either sleeping in a storm drain and a car randomly stops right on top of you- or you have to stop your car in the middle of nowhere thinking you're all alone for miles but there's a stranger literally right under you.

Steve: commits a crime by camping illegally
Also Steve: cleans up the place and leaves it in better condition than when he found it
How very Canadian of him lol
Just a misdeamor crime / ticket ? Sorry im not sure
Lol. Good Canadian joke!
I don't get the illegal camping part, are homeless people Illegally camping too?
@@McRambro Sometimes we/they are camping illegally. But the more stealthy & careful you/we are, the less likely we'll be noticed! The Rule: Safety First! & Like Steve W., if it is safe to do so; go out from your camp a bit & look back at your camp to see if it can be seen.
One other tidbit: if you smoke, toke, or have a fire, be aware of where the smoke goes. In the mornings in summer, the drafts go uphill as the day warms up. Then, in afternoons & at night, the drafts tend to flow downward. Caution is the key.
I know im 3 years late and by no means a stealth camp expert...after the 3rd or 4th time watching this video over the years, I think a moving blanket or some kind of medium thicknesses blanket would have worked better than the tarp. With the 100lb magnets holding them up, would have kept in the heat, noise and light and kept out the wind! Maybe try it in a future video! Love the content Steve, still watching all of your videos!
