Stealth Camping Beside Hiking Trail

  • This video is kind of boring, but you never know how the videos will go. We are on a road trip taking the stealth camping to different places around Alberta. We came to Lethbridge for the weather, but it was a difficult city to find any cover for a stealther. I camped under the stars beside a hiking trail with some new gear that turned out to be a little on the cold side.

    Hey Steve, in another of your videos you mentioned that the negative comments or the troll ones really start to get you down.
    I just wanted to Thankyou for your uploads. When a guy has been having bad depression for a several months now your videos have really been appreciated. I also like when your wife is in the videos as well. She doesn’t say much but a guy can tell she really adds to the atmosphere and the dynamic between you two is very enjoyable.
    Anyway, I know the web can have a lot of rude people but I think you’re doing a great job and there are a lot of folks who really appreciate your content.

      So true! Steve's one of those rare people who does read the comments and responds so it is sad that people are making negative comments. But I see them as people who are jealous or resent Steve for living his life and sharing it. Hopefully all the positive comments made by everyone offset any negative ones in Steve's heart. It's amazing how excited I get when there is a new video. I like the videos with beautiful wife and Crazy Neighbour (thankfully he doesn't mix them up to crazy wife/beautiful neighbour)! I like how he is not sponsored since I've noticed a lot of youtubers are slipping in commercials for products and starting to structure videos around product placement. I still think Canadian Tire should contribute to the beer donation fund since not sure everyone noticed but Atmosphere (where Steve bought his new gear) is owned by Canadian Tire (same as Marks work warehouse - where all good Canadians get their fancy outdoor clothes). So Steve is also a good Canadian by buying and promoting a Canadian Brand plus at the same time sending a zinger to people who litter and drink Coors!

    Hey Steve!
    In regards to simmering on the little camp stoves. A lot of folks, myself included, have a nice and light trick for that. Make yourself a little reflectix and duct tape coozie and lid for the pot. Pull the pot off the heat, drop it into the coozie, and it can sit there surprisingly warm for a while. This saves fuel and keeps food hot longer, especially in cold weather. You might also find that a small sheet of aluminum or similar that can fit in the pot maybe be useful as a wind screen since the burner is relatively unprotected. Only adds an oz or two but makes a big difference when you're hungry!

Ppl that don't use them have no idea how much a little insulation helps to keep cold cold and hot hot. Making a custom coozie hadn't occurred to me but after reading this I would absolutely suggest you experiment a little and see what you can come with. Im absolutely sure the difference it would make is almost a game changer.

    your videos have a disengaging, ambient feel to them during the times you arent talking. not boring, and a much needed alternative to some close-up, uncomfortable, inside computer room. i miss the road, i still remember leaving home in 2014 just told my dad i was tired and left. i made it 1200 miles on my bicycle before ice formed on my tent floor then i went back to cleveland. you would have a lot more fun doing this in usa, more people around who always ask if they can help, better weather

    Currently rewatching some of your older videos. Must have missed it the first time, maybe I had been inebriated or it just flew over my head. Your explanation of the term "hunker down" resonated with me on this viewing. Thanks again for everything Steve. Going to be hunkering down in the original Steve Wallis meaning of the term this week myself. Save some money and hopefully have the willpower to keep it up until the new year. For as long as I've watched your videos I have wanted to take up camping and stealth camping especially. Think it's time to make that a reality. You're such a legend and an inspiration. Times have been tough for you recently but I hope you'll keep this up. My favourite video by far. You mean the world to so many people. Bless you my man. Thank you.

You can also use the bivy with a lighter cold weather bag such as a Marmot brand. The bivy provides you with a camo outer shell against the cold and frost thats so good you don't even need a tent. Its EXCELLENT.

    As a dumb teenager, I went on a camping trip with several friends. We couldn't find the location probably due to beer drinking, so we pulled over to sleep in the bed of the truck, etc. I remember there was snow on the ground. I'm sure I was unprepared and didn't know what I was doing. I remember it was very cold and a couple of people were getting in the cab and and running the heater off and on. I just remember having a blanket that was half on me. I woke up in the morning and couldn't feel my legs for some reason. Everyone was just laughing. Hopefully that was just a pinched nerve, but not sure. I lived, but looking back now that was pretty stupid.
