Camping On Abandoned Highway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2023
- I went camping with an e-bike to access an old stretch of #abandoned #highway. The highway was straightened and made wider to go around small towns and that left the perfect spot to sneak into camp. Defiantly an acceptable spot for a quick overnight camping trip on bike!

Seeing Steve in good spirits genuinely makes me so happy
Amazing how he has that effect on people. 😃
Honestly same! Just got off work and soooo happy to see his smile!
Yep
Steve is my new Bob Ross after a stressful day.
There’s no denying the fact that this man is very inspirational!!
So good to see Steve in a good place despite all he's been through. A genuinely real guy no bs no pretense. Keep them coming Steve we're all behind you!
Thanks @greyone6626
Steve you need to eat the carbs (rice, beans, bread, corn) before a hike/camp. Protein (sausage, patties, steak, chops) after camp is set up.
Your meal planning is killing you bro! 🤔
@@jeremy4375he ate perfectly fine buddy 😂
@@jeremy4375You act like he climbed Everest.
@@MissX33 then maybe post something other than trash content. less crying
The ebike is a nice change. It let's you get to places too difficult or suspicious to go by car.
Hopefully we'll see more bike camping in the future!
Long after my employees are gone, and I’ve counted the register. I sit and eat a salad at table 12 and watch this channel. For about a year now. I’ve cried, and I’ve laughed. All with you, Steve. Thank you so much for what you do. ❤
Bless you and table 12.❤️
Love this comment, very wholesome
I love how amazing and supportive the comments on all of Steve’s videos are. It’s nice to find these pockets of genuine connection on the internet. And Steve deserves it. Glad to see him in good spirits.
Steve is good people and good people deserve the best!
He has a team behind the scenes that HEAVILY censors comments and blocks people. That's why you only see the positive.
@@hakrj12 ugh welcome to the censored internet
Thanks for hanging out with us on your birthday, Steve. Without sounding like a parasocial maniac, you really do feel like a friend. Have a good one.
I feel the exact same way.
saaaame
I'd drink a step 2 with Steve. Great guy.
I second that. I honestly wish this guy the best, which is more than I usually feel about people. Dude has done nothing but be a good dude.
Ditto, Kindred Spirit ❤
Steve, I recently joined that club that neither of us wanted to be in. I lost my wife 2 1/2 months ago and I just really mostly don’t want to live anymore without her. We were together for 7 years and I’m 32.
Seeing you getting out there and doing your thing shows me that it is possible to go on.
Thanks Steve and happy birthday
Chin up bud. She would not want you to be unhappy. Sorry for your loss.
Deeply sorry for your loss. I hope every step you take may lead you to a better chapter of you life
Sorry Chris. Thank goodness for RUclips creators like Steve. You are not alone.
Ur still young get a new wife it's till death do u part so u fulfilled your contract
Some of these comments are not the best. Too heartless and utilitarian. Loved ones are not to be replaced my friend but over time you can heal and hopefully find new love and new motivations. I promise you it is not a replacement. You can just appreciate things differently. You will love stronger than before if even possible. Keep moving. Not forward as you’re not leaving anyone behind but keep moving so that they can enjoy it whether religious or not that person is in your history and they move with you!
Happy birthday Steve! Your videos never cease to make me smile. Always awesome seeing someone taking life by the horns no matter what it throws at them
Thanks! One moment at a time, right? Cheers :)
The smile on Steve’s face when he sat on the stool was really great to see. Seemed so genuine. You can tell this is where he loves to be.
I'm with you. Really lovely to see that smile again.😊
I'm right there with y'all. His smile is so awesomely beautiful indeed.
@MegaSusanc Some of the genuine ones say "ya'll", but the intelligent ones do (not) spell it that way...
Steve I'm homeless in Washington State and you've helped my mental health out here tremendously. If you're ever camping here on the coast there's many islands that are serene and quiet with good fishing and orcas and other wildlife you'd probably love. Good luck Steve bless
Sounds lovely.I suppose it’s all your frame of mind and you see the beauty around you ❤
Praying for you, please stay safe
Be safe, I know how it can be :) 🖤
Stay safe brother
Stay safe and best wishes to you.
Glad you will be in your 40's,I'm 71,and wish I could do what you're doing. Enjoy all your videos. You give us all hope. Thank you,my video friend.
Ebike camping would be a cool series keep doing stuff like this!
I'm going through probably the worst stretch of my life so far and your videos are really helping me get through it. You have no idea how thankful I was when I saw that you uploaded today. Stay safe Steve all the best wishes
You got this. If you’re going through hell.. keep going!
@@campingwithsteve thank you Steve i needed that❤️
God bless, take care!
You keep your head up buddy life sucks sometimes but you can do this 💪🏻💪🏻
@@campingwithsteveSteve, you’re a beautiful human being. Thank you for being a positive outlet in so many peoples lives.
And happy birthday!
What a fucking legend. I definitely wouldn't have the balls to camp in the middle of nowhere like this guy. You've inspired me all these years and still keep doing so. Here's to many more step 2's.
no
@@K....D....loser
@@K....D.... y tho?
Steve still coming at life full force, I love to see it. Rock on Steve for all of us
Happy 42nd Steve, you are so fun to virtually hang out with. Your videos bring me tremendous joy and peace of mind. Congrats on the new e-bike. And thank you for just being you and producing all this amazing content.

“I love when the contours of the road fit my body”. Sometimes we get lucky and the contours of the universe fit our lives. It’s few and far between but to notice and appreciate it is special. Thank you,Steve. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday Steve hang in there man. You are helping many people trave and see your adventures bless you man
Lovely thought!
Love this comment! So true!
That is so totally true.. It's such a shame that more and more people ignore Nature and the Universe. We can learn so much from both. Steve is certainly not your typical human being, and allowing all of us to follow along on his journey is incredibly special. Peace and Love from Australia
Your positivity through even the darkest of times is such an inspiration, Steve. Your ability to heal by doing what you love is a lesson we all can take solace in.
Reminders keep it fresh.
He really is an indomitable inspiration. The man is the best of us.
Steve, your morale in this video is inspiring and made my night. I know how much you've gone through over the last year and fostering the attitude you have is incredibly admirable!! It's inspiring me to take on life as well - I just went on a 5K run and feel great. :)
Also, I love that you're getting back into cycling in some form! Your points about how there are spots that you'd "drive right by" and that you feel like you just want to get to where you're going are really accurate. Cycling is so immersive, and I'm excited to see all the cool spots you find! I love the shots of you riding your bike too - the invisible selfie stick is awesome!
Steve, I absolutely love you're videos. I started watching a few years back when you camped for a month in an ice shake in the winter. I absolutely love how you come up with new ideas and your RESEPECT for nature. When you were commenting about the road being in such good shape under the moss, THEN went on to say I don't want to rip up the moss shows your respect for the area. I hope to keep watching you for many years to come. Stay strong brother.
Well, thanks, @neoprotwo! I appreciate that you appreciate that. Hope you’ll continue to follow along :)
Hanging out in my garage, drinking a few step twos on a mild almost fall evening watching Steve sleep in the middle of the road.....everything is right with the world. I will NEVER unsubscribe from this channel! Thanks, Steve!!
Appreciate the dedication. ❤
Same here beer #7 here with Steve.
This world needs more people like Steve. Period.
….Steve and beer!!!!
@@heycoolit1581Steve & Crazy Neighbor & beer 🍺
Happy Birthday Steve. Not Stealth Camping, but man, was the roaming camping in random places fun to watch. I would watch a whole series like this.
This just shows how relaxing a solo life can be.
Always glad to see you out doing your thing Steve. I'll hope you know that it brings peace and calmness to so many of us!
Truth; I'm in stage 4 of lymphatic cancer and this is such a stress relief
@@Psalmist374DKR 😳
@@Psalmist374DKR yes it would be.
Steve, happy birthday, man. I... might be typing this 'late at night,' but I watch your videos and am able to vicariously live through your travels and exploits. It makes me wish I had a summer or something to enjoy the trip. Thank you for being "Us," Mr. Wallis.
When all the other youtube camping videos are trying to demonstrate best practices and buying all the nice trendy gear, your approach is refreshing, unique and encourages me to just go out and do it whether it's the perfect setup or not.
I'm "only" 5 hours late, and +150k views, and endless likes and comments. Warms my heart! Steve, you bring people together, truly. Don't stop doing what you do, until you're absolutely ready to...we surely love ya! Safe travels Steve, and hunker down, family! 💚 ⛺
Happy Birthday Steve! I entered my 32nd year of life in shambles, barely making it by. I love what you do, and it provides me a sort of calming relaxation that helps me through it. Keep it up, you make a big difference in the world. In social media I may seem like I'm having the best time, but in reality, I'm embarrassed by my situation and don't want anyone to know. Your videos help give me hope that you can make do with anything you have, its just how you accept it and make it happen. Keep it up Steve!, enjoy a step two for me please.
Reach out to a group, or volunteer for one. There are people who want to help & people who need help.
You never know what tomorrow will bring. When I was 32 I was living in the back of my truck. Hoping for the best for you Donald!
This too shall pass sounds cliche. But, it’s so true. I don’t know you, but I’m going to pray for you. 32. So young. You will get through this circumstance.
Wow, in the beginning I thought maybe this was just going to be a scouting trip but then Steve breaks out all the camping equipment from the little side saddles and cooks up a full meal! BTW, kind of got some Blair Witch vibes after dinner, lol
@@campingwithsteve Happy Birthday Steve! You bring some laughs, joy and calm to so many. "We're livin' in the future" line gave me a chuckle.. with your selfie stick that extends. Thanks for all you do on here.... Wishing you the best in life.
P.S. Donald... best wishes to you also.
Happy Birthday Steve! 🥳🎊
Glad you’re keeping your spirits high & taking on life during these challenging times. Truly inspiring & relaxing to watch these videos of your adventures! Much love, keep ‘em coming brother! ❤
Hey Steve, I’m Curtis Cullen from Nova Scotia Canada. I’ll be 42 years old this late May. Your videos are awesome!
Happy birthday 🎁🎊🎂🎉🎈 Steve! I hope that in the quiet moments, you feel all the love we have for you! The world needs more people like you! You never cease to give back our faith in humanity!
This exactly.
Love this comment!
Happy Birthday Steve!! Today would have been my 37th anniversary, but I lost my husband a few months ago. This video made my day as Radar and I would have been watching it together, dreaming of our own camping adventure.
Stay strong you are not alone
Happy birthday Steve, keep on trucking. Thanks for taking us with y'all on these fun little adventures.
A very nice ride with Steve. Thanks for sharing.
Steve, you're a true treasure to the world. Thanks for continuing on this journey we call life and bringing us along for the ride.
Great comment
Couldn't say it better. 100% agreed
Definitely, love the camping on the bike. Great video.
Happy Birthday Steve. Mine is coming up in 10 days. I’ll be 45. Thanks for taking us all on this amazing journey. I don’t know why RUclips put you in my path so many months ago, but I’m very thankful it did. You are a treasure.
Glad to have you back Steve! Really cool to see how quick nature can take back over.
Always good to see your videos Steve. All you've been through, its very therapeutic to see you still out there.
Steve Wallis quote of the year! "Actually doing something works up an appetite." I've lurked on this channel for a lot of years and want you to know it's by far my favorite content on RUclips and I always look forward to Thursday uploads. Thanks for being such a genuinely good dude that's showing something we would all love to be doing.
Busy bee!!!
7:10 hey Steve found that big screen tv you threw out in the woods🤣🤣🤣 so much for that being the perfect crime🤣🤣🤣
Happy Birthday Steve! Thanks for the seemingly endless fountain of inspiration and relaxation you continually bring into the world.
Happy birthday Steve! So great to see you going through life and allowing us to be with you on your journey! Blessings!
Thank you, Steve! I really needed this right now.
I love how Steve makes a simple camping in the woods seem like some sort of daring heist
Happy 42nd B'day, Steve! 🎂🍻
Thanks.
Steve . Thanks , keeeep on keeping on , you mean so much to us.
Thank you Steve ❤❤❤
I love biking, camping, and I love Steve! What a great combo. This promises to be a great video!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@campingwithsteve
Apologies, I'm copying this here since I've no idea if you'll see it where I first posted it among the other comments.
Okay. The ebike. I heard you say it's an assist so does that mean it shouldn't be used 100% as an ebike? When young I rode bikes under my own power for decades but graduated to motorcycles and eventually I didn't ride my 10 speed any more. But, now that I'm old and the broken spine (when I was 15) and other things conspired and one leg pretty much died so I had to give up my motorcycle (after 40 years) because my leg (left) can't be trusted. It also disqualifies me from riding my 10 speed and my kids and grandkids ride all the time. My little Jazzy can't keep up. I was thinking about an ebike and can it be run solely on that as well as how far does a charge take you and, how long to charge it up.
Sorry for all the questions but I've hit a spot in life where I can't grab all the gusto I want ... and need. The ebike seems to be a possible solution but before I start saving for one it would be great to get information from someone who's actually used one. Thanks! And again, Happy Birthday, young man!
Color me impressed, I did enjoy it! A lot! Happy belated birthday Steve.🎂 @@campingwithsteve
@@suzibikerbabe8073 Ebikes still require you to pedal, they just assist that pedaling (in most case), such as going up an incline, it can take the edge off or if youre going up a hill, you can turn that motor assist up as high as legally allowed to make the hill not a pain. Most ebikes afaik have a thing on the handle to let you adjust how mucha ssistance it gives you 9thought here are some which are for all practical reasons, a motorcycle trying to take advantage of bicycle laws). In some places the assist has to be passive (aka no throttle for it, can only set how much assistance it gives, others allow throttle which is moreso a motorcycle).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUNGMAN...🎂🍺....❤✌️CHEERS ON UR BIRTHDAY SIR...STAY SAFE AND THANK YOU FOR THE LONGER VIDEOS...🎁🎃
❤ Happy Birthday Steve! 🎉 Great stealth camping once again. You bring such happiness to so many. Thank you and God Speed! ❤
Thanks so much :)
Happy to see you back and know that your doing well, I love when you post these stealth camping videos if I can’t sleep I just watch you and I do. Thanks for doing what you do
So good to see you embracing life. You are an awesome guy, Steve! God bless you always!
Happy birthday Steve, we appreciate you sharing it with us. So glad to see you getting out and exploring. You and your videos do so much good for so many people, including myself. Cheers to you Steve
You’re a hell of a role model Steve! One positive, resilient, creative dude. Loved the sleeping setup on this one. Simplicity at its best! Best wishes and happy birthday man!!
I appreciate that! So glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for the video Steve. I enjoyed it. Good to see you out camping again. Take care.
So good to see you Steve , good to see you outside doing what you love. Living your life well and being the kind , honorable and honest man you are is the best and greatest tribute you can do for your Mom and your wife. Many of us have, and will continue to pray for Gods peace for you. And happy birthday!!
Happy birthday, Steve! Great to see you back in the saddle and - as you say - taking on life. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures in the great Canadian outdoors - you’re a great ambassador, not only for Canada, but for humanity.
@@MichelleSpence-pw4bp It’s OK - the bears and the alligators keep them away.

Guy loses his wife and mother in the same year and still keeps his head up and pumps out relaxing content and has the world's most positive attitudes. If we were all Steve what a beautiful an no hate planet this would be. Keep on keeping on brotha. From Massachusetts 🇺🇸
Happy Birthday, Steve. Thanks for taking us on your hunkering down adventures. You do what many of us dream of doing. Keep strong and be safe.
Happy birthday Steve..thank you for all you do for so many of us
I loved it! We all come to see you, I think we all agree, it's nice to see you in good spirits. It's crazy to think about all the history of that abandoned highway!
Certainly one of the best channels on RUclips. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us Steve.
Its so good to see you out and riding. Bike riding can bring so much joy and freedom it's just nice to feel the wind in your hair and it's so different than sitting in a car. Happy to see you smiling Steve.
An ebike is not biking… no need of them we have legs let’s use them
@@Maxpower88888 If you use a bike as more than exercise, making the pedaling (which you still do on an ebike since its not a motorcycle) less energy intensive on the body is better, because it makes you work up less of a sweat if yorue commuting and extends your viable range in a day by a large amount.
And I say that as someone who lives in one of the hilliest parts of Canada and is currently in the process of purchasing a 3 gear dutch bicycle without any electrical assist.
@@Maxpower88888What are you talking about? E-bikes are widely appreciated by hardcore bikers because it extends your viable biking range and assists you in potentially dangerous spots. They're not motorcycles, you're still doing most of the work.
On top of that, they're great for people who are infirm, elderly, or otherwise have issues regarding straight hardcore constant pedaling and it allows them mobility that they otherwise might not have. You should relax and not comment on things you clearly don't understand.
@@sappho114 no sorry bikes are meant to be pedalled for exercise no assistance needed.
There's a word for your ilk, it is called "luddite". @@Maxpower88888
Happy belated birthday Steve! Thanks for bringing so much joy to so many by just being a real, down to earth guy
Happy Birthday Steve! We love you my man...more than you could imagine. You are never alone and you are loved.
Happy Birthday, Steve! So glad you are here and doing what you love! Thank you for making the world a better place. 🎂🎈🎁
HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY STEVE. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Cheers to 42 years 🥳 🍻
Happy 42 years & many more Steve!
Steve’s videos are so binge worthy and also they are never boring. It’s always so nice to tag along with you man!
So true! Prior to COVID & even now, after a hard days work, we like to crack open a step two & follow along with Steve & crazy neighbor's adventures
@@Scarfacekiller Exactly! Nothing beats a man on various camping adventures just being real, and it truly feels as though we’re all friends of his coming along for the ride!
Hey Steve, I'm very happy to see that you're taking life by the reigns and healing at your own pace. You are such an inspiration to me, and your attitude never fails to remind me that life is all about the little things and being present. Thank you for the hard work and content!
Happy belated birthday dude. Sorry about your loss as well. I have no words. Hope the best for ya.
I really appreciate your attitude towards camping. Especially the respect for nature, I wish more people thought like you Steve.
Happy 42nd Birthday brother steve! I'm glad you have your chin up and you're staying busy doing what you love best because I sure love it. I can live vicariously through you some days when I'm too busy or even when I'm going through a rough patch in life. Appreciate you man!
I always love Steves positivity. Its so wholesome and i love seeing him out just enjoying life.
nice to see ya out on our coast . hope ya enjoyed it
Good to see your spirits up. Cheers Steve!
I’ve never been so proud of a content creator. Admittedly one of my favorites on a small list. You keep on keeping on brotha!! You’re a warrior in life and can take on anything 💪
Hey Steve! You've got well north of a million people who feel like they're right there with you on these adventures. Hopefully you feel it and know you're appreciated in many ways to many people. All the best! -Al from Oshawa
Hi Al! My mind is blown daily with the amount of you who follow along! I appreciate it so much. Summer treat you right?
Yeah man. Travelled from Toronto area to Minneapolis and then on to Winnipeg to visit family. Long drive, but very scenic. Thanks for all you do!
I admire your courage!!
Such a luxury to have 2 burners to cook with 👌 What a scenic campground. Great to hear the both of you enjoyed your trip
First of all, Happy Birthday! Second, I believe that the majority of us who are subscribed or who watch a lot of your videos aren't here just for stealth camping or even camping camping. We're here for you, your personality, and your video style. Sure stealth camping vids are good for numbers and I imagine they are better at pulling in views from those who haven't seen your stuff otherwise. But my point is, make what you want to make, and I can say with confidence we'll be here for it
(putting this out here because a few times in the past and in this vid you've apologized for it not necessarily being stealth camping)
I TOTALLY agree! I'm here for whatever Steve feels like putting out!
I agree, too. It is Steve who draws me here. What a nice man he is.
I agree. I love the adventures, but it's Steve that is the focus point. Just a fellow we all would love to sit and visit with.
100% agree!
I know I am here for you too Steve!!! I'd watch pretty much whatever from you . But THIS ....this is what you are so good at!!! I have to check in on you and make sure you are okay and Steve. If you are ever down here in Tulsa I've got tunnels lakes hidey holes you would have a blast.....cheers my friend
Happy birthday Steve thank you for all the things you do for us here sitting behind a screen to the places you hunker down and make a better place before you leave a true rare gem to this world we love you.
Ahh damn Steve, missed watching these videos. Gives me a quick escape because I’m in graduate school and can’t go outside much anymore. Nature is so important and being outdoors helps our mental health so much! Thank you for making these videos, you have no idea how much they help me get through the week!
Thanks. Great video, camp on ..rip Crazy Neighbour...Take care everyone
Happy birthday Steve! So glad you spent it here in NS with all of us crazy east-coasters! So great to see you doing what you love best, with a smile and a Keith's.
Truly happy to be here sharing it with you, sort of😊.
And don't worry about the south shore...anyone coming through the woods there would probably just ask if you had an extra beer🙂
Happy Birthday Steve! It makes me happy to see your love and respect for nature, and how you leave no trace of your camping. I hope your day was great...it sure looked it.
This man has such a positive and uplifting character/ personality! Keep up the good work Steve !👍🏼
I love seeing channels that spread more positivity and less negativity
you're one of the big reasons i started camping this year Steve! Keep up all the awesome videos! We love you!
I'm proud of you man you've gone through some tough times recently, but you still push through that inspires me to keep going in my life, thanks Steve you taught me a lesson.
Steve, can I just say that tagging along with you on these adventures brightens my day beyond measure. I whole heartedly appreciate everything you do.
Happy birthday Steve. It’s good to see you out and about again.
Thanks for the great content Steve! I hope all is well
Ive been having a rough and very unlucky last 2 months, but its like a sigh of relief when i see your videos on my feed. Thank you for doing what you do. You're videos mean the world to many of us. Much love!
You got this!
@@campingwithsteve I appreciate the kind words! I love this community and im glad to be apart of it
Happy Birthday Steve! Thanks for taking us with you on this day. Like others have said, it’s your personality that makes your channel fun and interesting and unique. I love the stealth camping; still it’s you that keeps me watching.
Keep your head up buddy. You have people that love ya.
Happy Birthday, Steve! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Always great to get a new Steve! Hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself, Steve, we all love you!
Much love from Belgium! Keep up the good work and stay strong despite the setbacks! You have +1 million people behind your back and we all love you!
Heyyyy, I'm another Belgian fan of Steve's.
Hello Neighbours. Germany here and also big fan of Steve's videos.
Europe represent! All we need is Steve doing a Belgian step 2 🍻
You're the best Steve! Keep hunkering!!!
Glad to see you doing well Steve. Thanks for all the great content!
“I’m a cyclist today… but I’m not one of THOSE cyclists.” We love you Steve. Never change 😂❤
Also, purchase a new seat for your bike, they make a world of difference, especially if you’re into tour style riding.
