Camping in DIY Instant Pop-Up Folding Origami Shelter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Testing out the new creation on a quick overnight camping trip. I used corrugated plastic sheets and gorilla tape to build a shelter that folds down flat into a 4'x4' area at about 4 inches tall. I took it out to my favorite camping spot by the North Saskatchewan River outside of Edmonton Alberta.

Wife here: One idea that Steve mentioned to me but didn't disclose in this video was to use such a home made 'pop-up' structure as a shower shack in the summer! Just an idea for all you wonderful campers. And as always, thank you for supporting Steve.
O hay Jess
Jess H Hello BEAUTIFUL WIFE!!!!!
Great idea will look more in to this . We find it very difficult to shower the kids as we wild camp. All the best jess (wife)
@@denicejenkinsonfamilycampe2844 we bring 20oz bottled water and heat up 6 bottles in a pan of water then poke holes in the lids and squirt ourselves down and wash up. As for the shower enclosure I have a piece of 1/2 inch pex pipe that I can bend into a hulahoop and connect with a coupler. Then we just put cheap dollar store shower curtain and rings on it. Hang it from a tree and take a woods shower in privacy. We also stand on a short Pepsi crate so as not to get muddy feet.
@@niks983 thanks you will give it a go thanks for the tips 😁
With all the serious “bush crafting” videos on RUclips it’s nice to see a dude blasting a camp fire with a torch and hand sanitizer
Kai Wright a WD40 torch
I think these little hacks are more essential nowadays. Especially if shit hits the fan. I imagine a lot of people wouldn't last even though they had solutions sat in the cupboard or garage.
@37 pirate It's those first few weeks that worry me. Still a lot of people and eventually a dwindling presence of law enforcement. It becomes lord of the flies.
@37 pirate sad to say it's true. And don't expect to be helped in the UK if there ever is. The NHS is ran on a shoe string. Most are agreed they have families of their own and wouldn't turn up for work. I work at an A and E and it's filled past breaking most days. 3/4 to capacity is a rare good day. Pandemic scenario would be martial law chaos.
@@xPadge112x I wonder how martial law would work though I used to work for the Army up in Canada and there's a lot of the guys talked to just like weed show up at the base take her Farms go home and make sure our family was safe because you'd never be able to hold it
“If you don’t like it and you are still watching, I don’t know what to tell you “ lol. Love it!!
Don't ever change, your realness and honesty is rare...your sense of humor keeps me coming back
By 5:45 in southeast Texas I can't see through the scope and the woods are pretty dark.
For real realy cool guy love the vids
Ditto
Keeps you coming? Niceeeeeeee
seeing steve's excitement sitting in his little shack makes me think he LOVED making blanket/cushion forts as a kid. i love it.
had the same thought. a empty refrigerator box works good too
I still do
@Amy Sternheim haha ha! touche'
Same
Maybe that’s exactly why I like his videos? We had great forts. Tip: don’t let your kids have candles in crazy forts, the fire department knew our house.
Steve: "I have a day-job."
Also Steve: "Here's an origami cubby house I designed + made from sheet plastic + duct tape, in my downtime. No biggie."
Behind every great man is a woman telling him what to do.😂.
@@russelllee1968 yah well we see how that worked out for Adam, when Eve said here eat this.
That type of plastic is not UV protected so will not make a good greenhouse.
@@HOLLASOUNDS who said anything about a greenhouse? 🤨
@@mysterylovescompany2657 Steve said "This could make a good greenhouse" in the video.
Just gone midnight here in the UK. Do I have a spare 26 minutes. YOU BET, now lemme hunker down and watch this.
Comments in no particular order:
1. I love your tent.
2. You never fail to come up with a new twist to camping. I love it.
3. I live near Atlanta. It gets dark around 5:30 pm. I was out in a short sleeved shirt in the afternoon. No snow here!
4. Have you ever thought of publishing your recipes for camping food? You have a knack for coming up with new ideas.
5. When I watch your videos, I feel I am out there with you. I like your conversational style.
6. Thanks for the entertaining and informative quality of your videos! 😁
I will select #2 for a standard comment, thank you.
Short sleeved shirt this afternoon? 😡😡 It only got to MAYBE 40F here. (And windy).
I totally dislike Winter. It would be ok for a few days or so, but when it gets bone-chilling, have to put on your insulated work clothes, that's what makes me truly appreciate the "Dog days of Summer".
Stay warm KJ.
TII
Based on his camping raft video, I bought a case of those dehydrated hash browns! I've used a little bit for cooking at home, but the rest I will hang onto for camping and emergency supplies. I would never have known about those if I didn't see him cooking with that 🥔🍽️
It gets dark about the same time here in Northern MN Right around 4:20! Haha
Recipe: can of chili, Fritos, cheese.
If you looked up “Canadian” in the dictionary, Steve’s picture should be there.
Fuckin right bud
Not just Canadian, but Edmontonian, eh.
I’m a 72 year old grandma & love your videos! I have 2 daughters if I had a son I would love him to be like you!
Hubby & I do a lot of camping. More in our younger years! keep up the good work on your videos!👍💕
I think Steve actually lives in the woods most of the year and camps in his house for a month two,lol.
I have actual first hand uncontested evidence that says otherwise LOL !!!!!
😂😂👍
🤣🤣🤣 dead... you win best comment on the Internet today
this comment wins
@@crazyneighbour2429 Haha, ehh crazy neighbor
If you need olive oil on a frozen morning, you could always pour it in the pan the previous evening, let it freeze, and thaw it out on the stove first thing. It doesn't hurt the oil at all, and saves packing two different kinds of oil.
Great idea, but not when camping in bear country.
You can also carry some coconut oil in a small plastic container. It freezes but it melts in the pan.
" I forgot my shovel but that's okay I have my snow shoes" The moment when you know this will be a awesome vlog!
"If you didn't like the video.....I dunno what to tell ya. When I started the 🔥.. I gave you the chance to bail...." Classic
Completely insane - at the EXACT MOMENT (and I mean exact) that you were struggling w/ the mushroom & veggie pack I was struggling w/ a similar package of watermelon! It became a race to see who would get their container open first. It was a good and fair match.
WHO WON THO?!?!
Sean who won, you must tell us
I guess we'll never know... the out come of the Infamous Race that was once held between Sean and Steve... may this Rivalry forever live on.
The hilarious nature of seeing Steve burning so much hand sanitizer before it officially became a global currency 🤣
🤣
I didn’t use it before the pandemic and I haven’t used it during the pandemic. Just wash your hands lol
it never became a currency, calm down sir
@@BotanyDegreePilkerton It's clearly a joke, Donald Downer.
@@NXSProductions oh no did u not hear they REALLY DID make it a global currency! Lol
When I was a child and we had time to dream, you know before we forgot how to fly. We made shelters like this and slept in them in the woods or backyard. Thank you for the memory recall.
Got wings, they just forgot how to fly, temporarily. And camping is fun, when you know what you are doing. If not, well... Let's just say it's funner.
I was convinced I could fly as a child….I used to dream about it……I was so disappointed when I woke up….. I really tried hard ……
@@BLUESBOYBENFIELD Never stop trying.
I remember camping on Dundas Island in B.C. with my grandparents. To warm our beds at night ,we took rocks from around the campfire , wrapped them in several layers of newsprint or other paper then a final wrap with some sort of clothing. It kept us warm and cozy at night, and surprisingly the stones were still a bit warm in the morning.
Great tip! Thanks
I do the same thing, but with Hot Pockets.
I’ve never found such a wonderful community of likeminded individuals than I have in these comment sections 😂😁
The shelter looks cool from the outside with the light on inside.
It looks like a huge Chinese Lantern
Anyone binge watching Steve in 2021?? I only discovered him yesterday and I’m hooked! Been watching since last night
It was fun watching him , it took me two weeks to watch most of his videos . This tent seam like his best. He might like a pop-up tent .
2022 but yes
Found this on 9/16/22.. I've been watching for three hours. It's 5:15 in the morning and I now going to try to sleep.
Found him a week ago. Binging the shit outta camping with Steve!!!!!
Found him right around the time of the bad news in August 2022, been watching a lot since.
in this day and age listening to this humble man camping and talking is a real pleasure. God job, Steve.
After watching Steve for a while I’ve realised he’ll eat pretty much anything & happily with a smile on his face.
I watch these videos because Steve’s demeanor is so calming. Some of the locations, such as this one, are really beautiful, and the cold and snow are soothing.
With the right supplies and equipment, I could spend a week beside that water . . .
@Daniel Dravot you should watch the storm beach camping epi
He has innocence almost like a child but that's a good thing.
To add to My comment a good example is Steve mentioning how ducks stay warm in ice water. Ducks feathers are coated in wax and none of the cold water gets to the ducks body, that's how it stays warml
Me: Enjoyed a video of Steve hunkering down in an excellent, home made, plastic shack.
RUclips's placement ad algorithm: Sent me an ad for a Mercedes Benz luxury sprinter camper van starting at $150,000.
One of the best things that happened to me this year was coming across your channel. Great content from a great dude. Much love from Chicago.
MooseyQ Yeah. That’s me.
@MooseyQ That's me in my pic too.
IKR? The best channel on RUclips
I love how he says us and we like we are there and it's fun
I get stroke just by reading your comment.
I like his content too but that is a common gimmick that people use on youtube.
me too :D
Same here in winter, starts to go dark around 1600hrs. We have a name for that tent in the UK, its called a "Wendy House" 🤣 On a serious note, I admire and respect you tenacity to do outdoor hobbies at this time of year.
👍🇬🇧😎🇬🇧👍
Thats a wendy house on steriods.
Steve pushes the envelop on how many ways are there to start a fire that is using something other than matches. :)
I've been a fan for 3 years. My favorite parts of the video is when you explore and I love to see what you cook before bed.
Steve you seem to have some knowledge and understanding (you have been boondocking for some years (yes, I watched your boondock documentary and I enjoyed)..about living frugally. I love your vids. I think your calm voice, rational explanations, and simple living...resonates. thanks for the adventures bro. From California USA
Steve's corrugated tortellini johnsonville sasquatch freezer surprise. One of my favorite campin meals!
This man is on another level. Gets 5 stars for creativity.
He is the epitome of thinking outside the box. Really fun to watch.
Amazing how no matter how miserable the conditions you are always upbeat and positive! Thank you
"I gave you a chance to bail when I started the fire". Hilarious.
I teach the scouts in my troop to use hand sanitizer to start fires when the wood is damp. I don't know about the flame thrower spray can though. I'd be afraid of the flame going back into the can.
And a little hand sanitizer...burns well, lol. Pasts sauce, “c-l-a-s-s-i-c-o.” Canadian deadpan is legit great. Hunker, Steve, hunker.
i hear its drinkable want a beer?
That was a literal fortune by today's standards in hand sanitizer.
Michael Madden thinking the exact same thing
Went looking for this comment
Lol, forget crackheads, the Karen’s are really tweaking on sanitizers
Haha! Wow, that’s so true!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
And a nice cupple of tip cuz i have a strange amount of experience with choroplast. If you just score the outside of the bend you can tap both sides and itl be a little more strong because you still have one side not cut. And if you have something thats bends a lot zip ties work nicely
“Time to make a survival fire”
Gets hand sanitizer and a deodorant flame thrower
Steve brute forcing shit lol
I believe it was WD 40..... Steve the mcgyver
deodorant flame thrower is sooooooo underrated
I only subbed yesterday, and this stuff shows up :)
Love it, none of these firesticks, kindling and looking around for tree sap.
I like him bc he is a simple camper. He doesn’t have all that fancy gear like the other people I’ve seen. Just an al around cool dude.
Opening the vegetables, love how Steve doesn't edit stuff like that out. This is the real deal!
#1 camping item...a decent knife...then #2
I love the smell of hand sanitizer and WD-40 in the morning. Epic.
Lol as the cloud of black smoke parts.....this guy cracks me up sometimes
Me too! And I was once tricked into making 500 lb Napalm Bombs. Bastards!
Please don’t stop what you’re doing - these are great 👍
You must know we're all going gaga over that gorgeous structure, especially with the glow of the light !!! 💗💗💗👍👍👍
The shelter looked so beautiful, glowing in the dark next to the fire! And everything about the river looked so gorgeous in the morning.
I'm not being dramatic this is difficult in your words. I love how realistic you truly are. Like shit happens and it is what it is. Why I love watching your channel
That was the most futuristic cool home made shelter ever!
Pretty slick just fold up and toss in the back of the car
JVB cat - looks like a Tesla truck....maybe a Tesla tent? 🤣
It looks like a freaking bob ross painting out there.
Dustin Heisey that’s why bob paints it
McRambro what?
@@imwithenglish4722 That's why when Bob paint's and talks about Canada it looks like Canada...
I had idea canola oil stood for Canadian oil low acid. I learn something new every single time on this channel. Love it Steve. Thanks for the vids!
Just now getting to watch my wife has been working nights. Promised I would watch it with her. Love the setup
Canvas strips with pop rivets and washers 👌
That's a really good idea, wouldnt be much to outfit it with a smaller wood stove.
I think I finally figured out why I love this channel so much. Its because you are so peaceful! Your kind and genuine character along with the sounds/scenes/quiet. It really is a serene escape from such a tense and aggressive world we are living in. Thank you so much brother for doing all of this for us 🙏
You could probably use some like Velcro to keep the tent closed when you build it instead of taping it.
Velcro and magnets are both a good idea. My first thought: add a 2 - 3 inch strip to both sides, fold inside tent, cut some slots in one side and tabs to fit, use some binder clips at top and bottom, or possibly you could just use a dozen or so of those clips, they're cheap AF & made for holding that stuff together anyways. However you do it, this is a fantastic idea.
@D PIW The Velcro and magnets are both good ideas.
Or add those giant Staples they use for mail bins
Pretty new to the channel but my wife,son and myself have watched about 15 videos in a few days. I really dig your style and my son says you and I are alot alike except you're more polite...lol.
Any you got a subscriber out of us and we really enjoy watching your stuff while we have a few step twos ourselves.
Bro. That is absolutely brilliant. It would not surprise me when you invent your own tent and survival brand. WOW STEVE! loved it, brilliant and it opened in about half a minute with a door?!?! Bro?! Sick. And that paper model!! Woooow.
This man doesn't rule the world simply because he doesn't want to.
He does though... Just subtly
Epic comment and equally epic reply .....! Love it ..!
Here in Hokkaido Japan, today the sunset was at 3:50pm , loved the tent shot from outside with the lights on the inside. Looks really cool!
I've watched a few of your videos now (past 2 weeks) and my favourite is the middle of the highway cos that's what I've always wanted to do (even just for a few minutes) But man, you're so cool, literally - I'm just totally calmed by the way you present these videos, your presentation style is awesome. It's like nothing can ever go wrong. And that I suppose, is testament to the fact that you know WTF you're doing! I'd like to see a tent close to a coastal cliff on a very stormy night. But if you do - stay safe cos I need my Steve Wallis hit - nothing is ever going to be the same again. I've gone and bought a hammock and tarp canopy - all cos of you really man! Wicked!
These videos are so relaxing, I love watching them before bed
I love how you help people with DIY projects! instead of spending so much money!
Hi Steve, Wayne from Tasmania here. We're just about as far south as you can go in the southern hemisphere without being in Antarctica. That means that, here in the height of summer, we can expect normal temps of 13-23 degrees C. The perfect range as far as I'm concerned. We usually get one or two heat waves a summer though, which will see maximums climb to around 28 or 29 degrees. In winter, it gets pretty cool, with a range that looks something like 4 - 10 degrees C. A few times every winter, the wind will blow in just the right direction to cause lower than usual temps, something like -3 to 8. Sunset in midsummer is quite late at around 21:15 (daylight saving, so 20:15 really), and much earlier in winter at around 17:00.
When I get out of slam, I'm going camping like this every day! Thanks Steve. You make my time go by much easier. I look forward to new videos every Thursday! 👍
Colin Fogarty hope your time goes quickly man...
You get the internet in prison? Neat. Where are you?
PS: Hope that's soon. Nothing like hunkering down outside.
I was wondering how he'd start the fire with the wood in all that snow... nice trick. You sure got my wheels turning with this upload! Love the oragami tent. This could be something they could use for the homeless, especially on Skid Row. Love your ideas and style of camping. It's like I can almost live out my fantasy when watching your videos. Cool stuff!
26:00 the background of this is beautiful... almost like a desktop wallpaper; love it!
Sunset @ 4 O'clock on the button here today in central Maine, US. Great videos always, it's nice to know those of us in Maine aren't the only ones out camping and cooking in the snow. Best wishes
Sunset at 3:57pm in Elk, WA tonight. It's practically like living in Sweden!!!
Steve, love the “sleeping cam”... Keep that in your vids for sure, and can’t wait for the next one ☝🏼👍🏼
The piece of paper origami was a super smart way to illustrate how you built this shelter. This little thing is too neat!
Loving the genuine experience, its totally how I would be if I was out there. Don't change
Do you need a knife to cut packages open? cuz I know a guy.....
the plug is perfect
Lmao
Such a classy plug that I'll actually check the channel out.
@@dvldgz6306 thanks👍🏼🍺
@@73FORGE I actually send you a dm on insta because I really like your work
I like your videos Steve. Always finding something different to do rather than using the same stuff every time.
I look forward to this every Thursday
Just like how a new episode of simpsons every Sunday
Steve is just the true definition
Of the great white north ! 🇨🇦
Yeah but camping with Steve hasn't been trash for 20 years like the Simpsons has been.
I like the whole im going to be comfortable kinda way of camping. Not some hardcore survival setting but something you can actually enjoy.
"4: 20 the sun goes down in Edmonton" (nice)
We like it like that; it's a race to get home from work before dark, eat supper in the dark, wake up in the dark, maybe go to work in the dark. It's frikkin' awesome.
420, the best time
really creative structure, fascinating to watch! And the 'Steve-esque' fire-starting is pure entertainment!! Looking forward to next Thursday!
Mans best friend is the only thing missing from these amazing videos.
What a brilliant shelter. I just gotta say Steve your content keeps getting better and better. You've got a fan for life here.
It usually gets dark here in north denmark around 4 pm and gets light around 8 am again , good video and great idea for a shelter
I built a Coroplast camper in 2016. Of course I have to bend the walls to drive but this material is really easy to work with and useful. Here are some camping tips for your next trip this winter. 1. Use the red tuck tape. You might have to cut it every time, but this one is very sticky. 2. You should make a hole in your roof so the moisture can escape and maybe build one of those rocket type stove to warm your “tent”. 3. I found my coroplast (4 'x 12') at my local printer (they use the coroplast to make the election signs). 4. I'm assuming you keep your hand sanitizer now lol (use methyl hydrate, which is fondue alcohol instead). 5. I tried the dehydrated spaghetti. Oh wow !! easy and tasty as freshly made. 6. I freeze my eggs already cracked for camping. Your frozen egg was ready to cook. The texture of the yolk is a little different but tastes the same.
the way the butane grill sounded as he was fiddling with it was so satisfying
When you dropped the mushrooms and they actually landed in the pot!! 😮😦😂😂
TheMitchelBrothersTV
the funniest thing ever
Like one ne fell on the ground and the rest in the pot...maybe he didnt see it. I literally replayed it like 20x lol
He's very lucky guy! 😹😂
theres something so cozy and comforting about these videos
So funny, health and safety goes out the window when watching camping with Steve
Nice folding design! You’ve actually given me an idea. I’m gonna try make a rectangle folding one. A distorted square improvised from the folding firebox stove design. No idea what the roof will look like but i’ll try a few designs. Cheers~!
Couple of fire sticks should do for the roof!
I spend years saving up and building my dream custom water-cooled gaming PC setup and what do I do with it? I watch a man go camping in a made-up plastic hut........................and I love it! Great work Steve, keep it up!
I guarentee that farmer had you in his sights to whole time whispering "come on, please try take some wood"
"oh fuck that meth head is cookin' Johnsonville sausage!"
wears snow shoes to lower the compression, but also uses them to compress snow.
I love it.
i think that big foot watches camping with Steve and stay's out of the way and sleeps with a can of Steve spray in its cave ,, brilliant cabin Steve that is a fantastic idea , fantastic video please keep them coming .
8:51 "Snow was coming hard, and I knew it was gonna be deep - at least 6 inches" -- _queue Michael Scott_ --
"That's what 'Steve' said"
The paper model of the shelter was so helpful..Great stuff, Steve.
The shelter looks really pretty at night with the light inside.
Steve, after a less than enjoyable few work days, this video was what I needed. I gotta confess, the fire starting sequence had me laughing for few minutes. Thank you for that...seriously. Great setup. Your different approach to camping is always enjoyable to take in. I'm in New Brunswick, and it gets dark around five
I love how steve starts his fires. Unconventional but creative and fun to watch lol gasoline, hand sanitizer, wd40 you name it!
lol , "if you didn't like it , and your still watching ".......classic Steve.....Rock onnn
Robert
I'm thinking you just aren't as affected by cold as I am. I'm pretty sure I'd have third degree frostbite about 10 minutes in.
ive thought the same thing
Yes I think he has a high tolerance to the cold. Sleeping without a shelter on a tarp with a sleeping bag next to a little fire, in the snow is straight up manly.
Layers Layers Layers
One adjusts over the fall to the winter, if you spend enough time outside
That's what beer and alcohol is for and a little bit of french tobacco.. to hunker down bud haha.
You've come a long way, Steve! Here's to many more years and adventures! 🍻
Very interesting design. I think you could try putting that board foam insulation (sold at big box home improvement stores) that comes in similar sized sheets on each piece, which would provide a great deal of insulation; maybe with a second layer of plastic inside & some real hinges/seals. It would probably be as much or more insulation than those DIY van camper conversions.
Your humor is drier than ashey Larrys elbows and I really appreciate it man
😂
The virgin snow was coming hard

"...and I knew it was going to be deep; at least six inches."

Might want to add some industrial strength Velcro to keep the open edge together. Could use it for the door too.
Love this idea!
