Hey Steve, I have never commented on line before, but I just wanted to say, that people watch your videos for YOU, not where, when, why, or what! YOU are, the the reason people come back/suscribe it doesn't matter what you do! your content with you , being genuine , is the compelling part!
I wholeheartedly agree. Sure, the camping stuff is cool, but RUclips is full of that. Reflecting on this, Camping with Steve is a bit of a slice of life for me, where I get to see how Steve overcomes struggles in life and pushes forward, with amazing humility and an incredible heart. Keep it going Steve, this channel has made a big difference for me in these trying times!
Indeed. We watch your channel for you, as you show us the other side, where we can relax, hunker down and just have some really good camping (and food) out in nature.
The first video I saw was the tragic heartbreaking news of your loss. I now am catching up and exploring your videos. Now, I am a 68 year old woman( from the US, live here too) . Not a camper at all, must admit I lean more to comfy yet modest rentals of typical modern comfort. I also am wheelchair bound with one leg. I share this to say I marvel at how fascinating, educating even, caring, …so many things that your videos are proving to be for me. I also enjoy learning more bits and seeing areas of Canada as I had hoped to have traveled A LOT More in beautiful Canada than I have. Thank you for all you do, and I am so glad I found the channel and subscribed. Very well done and you are a natural narrator, a documentarian . Ongoing wishes for comfort and peace ..what one can possibly carve out in your path.
@@HeprishenceI am new too but read on a recent video he has had 3 tragic losses including his wife. I cannot remember the other two but it was a shock to read that after finding his channel. He’s so calm for a man that’s lost so much
Yeah it’s because you come to peace. I lost my sister and you get relieved in a way because the worst that could happen already happened. Know how I'm sayin?
@ yes, I get what you are saying, for sure. 14 months later, I can see that now more clearly. Definitely the worst has happened relating to her as far as my loss. That is done. Happened. And I try to find peace knowing it was fairly swift and sudden for her, too. Thanks for this.
Nothing wrong with beer donations, it's a simple way to let viewers be involved with the channel. It feels more genuine and down to earth than a patreon.
Steve, don't stress about trying to outdo the last video and keep pushing the envelope. We watch you because it's ordinary, accessible and in a different world we could picture ourselves doing what you're doing. Keep it simple, that's why we love you. Don't worry too much about trying to find more radical, outrageous places - just hunker down anywhere and we'll watch.
I love everything he does. That said, I like it when he tries new locations and ideas. It absolutely doesn't have to be bigger,better,more dangerous. Absolutely not. Thats not the style of this channel. It can be just behind a fence or in a slightly new area. All good.
I agree with @Alexi Papas. I think your fans watch you because it's you, and you have become a viewing fixture for so many of us. I would hate to see you either get into trouble or hurt yourself in trying be "out there".
Steve, something to remember about 99% of the people driving are not looking for someone/something hiding out in the woods. Heck most drivers are not even watching where they are going.
@@tylerjones2695 It's funny how that changes too, in the early part of winter 0 does totally feel warm. But then after a series of deep freezes all of a sudden -10c is T-shirt weather haha
I liked the subtle pauses "it's only.. borderline.. dangerous". He's the stealth camping captain Kirk. This was the comment on top so I was waiting for it and it did not disappoint 😂
Steve, almost every RUclipsr has Patreon. YOU have beer donations and the way you tell it that was the fans idea. Don’t mess with what works. People who watch understand. Thank you for taking us away from all the troubling news. Stealth on my friend.
Don’t fix what is not broken….your beer donations are unique to you and you should keep them…also more work is not what you need right now…I think that you have too many projects under your belt…keep it simple…like you always have.
I agree not to go for patreon, I adviced one creator not to go for patreon, but he insisted because people said it will be good for him and his channel. I my self noticed one day that I don't look his videos anymore for unknown reason, and so has done near 5000 others, He usually had around 10k views and now it's around 5-6k. And I like to read the names rolling on the screen
Steve... don't end the beer donations, I kind of like watching the names and stuff scroll passed while you talk. We know you're not panhandling, it's the way we're supporting what you do. And don't worry about the naysayers, their voices are far more louder than the ones who love you and what you do. Keep up the great work, it's channels like yours that keep the rest of us sane
I'm going to be honest that I've not donated anything to the beer donation fund and have never felt pressured or peddled on them. But I feel that people who do would be just fine still donating to you Steve whether you use it for beer or equipment or even having a spare day off work to go out camping. Don't feel like you're asking people to donate at all if people couldn't they wouldn't 😁 loved the content for years buddy keep it up
I love the beer donation and the special messages people post! It makes it so communal and builds community. Please consider keeping it - no other RUclips channel does this. You rock, Steve!
Personally I like seeing the names of the beer donations. It keeps the channel simple, which is part of the appeal. Keep up the good work Steve. Thursdays are a tough day for me and I look forward to coming home and watching a CWS. it's therapeutic.
For my vote, keep the beer donations, let us participate in that vicarious way. And don't worry about episodes being edgy or fresh or new. We just enjoy you doing your thing. It doesn't even always need to be stealthy. Just low tech camping with Steve makes us very happy. Please, please, stop worrying about these things.
@@donsolo186 well that is true so true that it is low budget cause it is you just have to be clever about it and quiet and not a risk taker like Steve is about it and you can do some fun camping on the cheap for just the cost of some food and a few camping supply's
@@raven4k998 yep exactly, he finds a way to make it interesting either way. When I go camping I'm not looking to spend a fortune on all new stuff. Just looking for the adventure and easily made meal ideas like Steve does. I couldn't stealth camp alone like him bc I'm probably more paranoid and would need a buddy, but enjoy watching him do it.
This video encompasses why I love Steve. Fire code violations through the roof with his sausage cooking on a propane heater, coupled with step twos in a paw patrol chair. This is why I RUclips.
To be honest I didn’t chip in to see my name, I did to express my thanks for the joy you bring me and to invest (albeit in a very small way) in what you are doing at home and out on the road. I don’t think it would hurt your channel in the slightest not to have the shout outs but I think people greatly enjoy supporting this kind of content!
I actually find your beer donation style charming - I think you should keep it. This was a great episode - down right impressive to me that anyone can camp at those temperatures! Very cool camping experience - and pretty ambitious to spend that much time in such a small shelter! Great video! 👍
With all the madness is the world, Steve is a welcome distraction - no politics, no hatred…. Just focusing on getting through the night safely without being seen. Simple, elegant, fascinating.
I think distractions are partially why we have such a corrupt inept government. People have been using sports center, celebrities, and dodo animal videos to drawn out what's "scary" to them.
@@harryfritter8266 friendly people? lol have you visited Connecticut? Majority of the people here are ready to rip you a new one for the slightest mistake or inconvenience you bring to their life. I'd agree with you for the Northern states like Vermont and Maine.
@@raven4k998 The dude is literally camping. the worst thing that could happen to him is that he is asked to pack up and move along. I enjoy watching his videos as much as anyone else here but you can't seriously act like he is actually doing anything dangerous. He talks like he is a fugitive on the run whenever he sees people just walking nearby
@@PositiveVibes94 no the worst thing that can happen is someone comes along and stabs or shoots him not asks him to leave I have seen the texts on my phone the emergency alerts about those people running around out there so lets be realistic now
When it's this cold I don't feel anyone would even think someone is out camping..therefore wouldn't even be paying attention to his location...Brave man burrrr that's cold
turn off your tv, it won't do anything for you but Fear factory 24/7 for last 3 years. The sooner you turn it off, the happier you will be. Promise. Cut off social media, and just enjoy your life. Trust.
Listen to John Prine, "Spanish Pipedream". Turn off the TV, throw away the paper, find you a home. Plant a little garden, grow a lotta peaches, try to find Jesus on your own.
Agree with everyone else here Steve! One of the best parts of our collective week is to get off social media, turn off the depressing news and “hunker down” with you instead. It’s just the type of respite we all need. The beer donations are just a way of showing appreciation for letting us come along for the ride each week 👍👏✌️
Steve!! The beer donations are so unique, I love seeing everyone’s names on the screen. There is an old-school feel to it which I also love. If we have to wait and there ends up being a TON of beer donations for some videos - so be it it’s no big deal! Most of your viewers like and prefer this way more 👍🏽
@anita miller I can understand that, but people should also understand that just because there are lots of names it doesn't necessarily mean Steve is getting a ton of money from it. I've donated really small amounts before.
Hey Steve, I don't know if you still read the comments or not, but I really wanted to thank you for doing what you do. I know, when you started this channel, you didn't expect it to have such a substantial impact on people, but it's really become something quite special to me & a lot of other people. These videos are like therapy. Whenever I've had a bad day, can't sleep, or am struggling, your videos always help to calm me & put my mind at ease. Also, my girlfriend recently started watching them with me as well. ☺
This is exactly what a Camping with Steve video should be. Not what people are "looking for" but what Steve does in an odd situation. I caught you at the (camping while going to school) stuff and they remain my favorite.
I almost forgot it was Thursday! Thank you so much for making this video and taking us away from all the choas in the world for 40 minutes. I know many of us appreciate it. Stay safe and good luck with the house sir and Dont forget to take some time for yourself (and beautiful wife) to recharge a bit!
This was definitely not boring. These are my favorite type of your videos. Stealth camp in freezing weather cooking eating chilling. This is my favorite
Don't do away with your beer donations, Steve. It's the way we show our appreciation for you and all that you do. Also, I think people like seeing their names roll on the screen.
Steve, whatever you decide you definitely deserve to be paid for what you do. You provide quality entertainment for us and many of us would be happy to support that financially on a regular basis. Glad to see a two night this week. Stay safe and hunker down.
In a world that's going increasingly crazy (in a bad way), your videos bring a little bit of fun, a zany sort of good crazy to help us counter all the negatives that keep filling the news. I can't thank you enough for that. I do admit to finding the stealth camping episodes a bit more stressful than the other types, just because I always end up worrying about what would happen if you got caught. If you ever find that you need to cut back on the stealth, I would still be perfectly content with regular camping, traveling, rafting and whatever other adventures come your way both alone and with Beautiful Wife and/or Crazy Neighbor. It's all good. As for the Beer Donation, it's your decision. Doing it the way you are might be more work and/or pressure than Patreon (spelling?), or it might not. Which method you can handle is up to you. But please don't think that you don't deserve the support. You spend time, energy, money and resources doing what you do, and sharing it with us so we can enjoy your experiences. This is so important to so many people that the Beer Donation did develop just by people reaching out to you. I wish that I was still in a position to donate myself, because you're one of the few people that I would reach out to in gratitude. Being in the public eye means that no matter what you do, or don't do, or change, or keep the same, there's always going to be a few who object. But I firmly believe that there are many of us who will support whatever direction(s) you go. Stay safe, hunker down and just be yourself... we'll be happy.
Another great video Steve!! Even with the technical problems...the light thing made me chuckle. You really shouldn't feel like a pan handler. You do a lot of hard work making these videos. You put yourself out there and your honesty makes the videos worth watching to the end. I hope it wasn't too much of a pain cleaning up the rental car's back seat. You truly are a AWESOME distraction from reality these days. Thanks so much!!
😂 I consider NOTHING a technical problem w Steve, after the “Bubble Wrap” shelter that instantly blew away! He always manages to troop through.... even when he has to collect his tent in pieces as it turns into litter. Joking aside, I agree w you. I’m happy he got heat, though. It not worth risking it in those temps!
These videos are so calming I love them. As someone with severe insomnia they've actually helped me feel comfortable enough to sleep. Not to mention the quality. Big contrast to the other channels that are 50% intro and filler and littered with promos. Love it, keep up the awesome content Steve.
I love the camping vids but even the ones where you're just updating us about the weather or the acreage or what's going on atm. Seeing your videos is like catching up with a good friend - you're so real and that's very much appreciated! P.S. I love seeing the list of beer donations :)
I always admire those little pockets of wilderness we have even in big cities here in Canada. Camping in one seems right somehow. Thank you for the video.
Sits in the Paw Patrol chair and is pleasantly surprised, then sitting there staring into the camera, "Oh the joys of stealth camping, a little bored after sitting here for hours trying not to be seen." I almost cried from laughing so hard. Thanks Steve. Reminds me of playing hooky from school (Skipping school) for the first time with a friend. We sat on the roof of the boy scouts building by a very busy road all day, it was about 8 hours of sitting there trying not to be seen, while being thirsty, hungry, and just a tad bit bored lol.
Missed your posts ever so much! Your adventures truely cheer a sad soul! It reminds that taking initiatives to do things ridiculously fun, but terrifically uncertain, is a special gift to oneself for the audacity of it all, and to us in being a party of it too! Thank you also for doing a two day stint, something I commented on once. You really do read these posts, don't you! It's truely audacious to have the tent out and up for two nights running!!!! The child's chair was a great comedy relief.LOL What ever you decide on the matter of patronage is truely your choice. Sadly the matter of ordering a $24.00 order of garden seeds for my garden is the best I can afford right now. But I could share some with you if you'd like! Thank you again for you being the concerned and attentive RUclips video provider!
Steve you are a legend man. Such a genuine human being, half of the reason i stop watching most of my favorite channels is because every single one of them sells out. Thank you Steve for not being a sell out kind of guy. That down to earth feel is why i’ve watched every video on your channel, even the old videos of you whipping it up in the kitchen. What im trying to say here is we watch for you and your sense of humor, its your personality that keeps the viewers watching not simply what you are doing.
I'm glad that you're testing out these activities. God help those that have no choice but to do what you're doing. No one plans to be forced to try this, but it's good to know how if circumstances give no other choice.
Just want to thank Steve for loving his fans.He puts it all on the line to keep us happy and gives us something week after week.I tell everybody about Steve and appreciate you and all you do for us fans.He could be doing so much more with his time yet week after week he gives us a new show.Thank You Steve 🤘❤🤘
Dude, it’s literally parked right there with footprints making a trail to his spot. Anyone stopping by at night would probably be checking that he’s ok in the weather. It’s all good, though. Just Steve hanging out behind someone’s work. I want to send him a video game or iPad or something though. If I thought he’d use it.
@@pplusbthrust That’s what I figured, but I’m pretty sure you can do both. Haha. It just made me feel bored hiding in a little hovel all daylight. I wanted to see him watching a movie or something. He probably went and did something.
Honestly Steve I have yet to ever watch one of your videos and think “this is boring”! Your videos are awesome! Thank you for doing these videos for all of us!
THANK YOU for the diversion from the news! And if you ever feel that the camping is too boring by itself, then just tell us a story! We always enjoy your humor and hearing about your past adventures as much as we enjoy going with you on your current ones.
Yes! Steve, please just tell us stories if you feel so inclined. Even the way you almost did tonight when reminiscing about "simpler times", I was hoping you'd go on more. I'm sure a lot of us can relate and it's just comforting to hear your take on things, the comments you make, your concern for leaving things clean...
You are the GOAT of Stealth Camping, Steve. I would have given up when I heard -30. YOU, went back out to get another heater. Thank you for always giving 110%. CHEERS, Steve.
"I hope this gave you a break from the news for a half hour or so" ....... literally the reason I'm watching this to keep myself from over dwelling on the potential global war... Always a calm presence Steve thank you. However you choose to do so, I hope you keep the Beer Donations. You deserve it. It's not panhandling you too-humble man. It's well earned support for all the work and time you put in. ❤️
A little bit of Mr Rogers energy from our friend Steve on a dark and scary news day. What a delight watching you for a full 39mins! Thank you for another gem 😊 I've never been tempted to support a patreon but I will 100% commit to signing up to yours!
If the beer donations have been there from the start of this trip then I think they should stay, it's like a little part of the history of your channel and it's sort of comforting to know the origins and that it's still there. Feels down to earth to me.
Honestly if you just went around to old stealth camp spots and made different food and a different shelter, I am still going to happily watch since it's a new, fresh video. Remember how unprepared you were for the culvert? If you made a part 2 of that one I would watch it so fast
That car beep during stealth times gave me the biggest crack up I've had in a long time!! And that folks is why this is definitely youtubes best channel! Cheers Steve and stay strong Canadian brothers n sisters!
Steve I love your videos, I watch them all day and enjoy every one of them.You are so pleasant to listen to.I am a 68 year old African American woman and you and Crazy neighbor give me so much television pleasure.Keep the videos coming.Eleanor 👍🏾
I love this channel. The content is so compelling I am drawn in and feel like I am there. I can almost feel the cold, the warmth and relief of the campfire, the enjoyment of nature.
Hey Steve! love the content. I watch every week. I do a lot of solo camping myself, and your videos on my phone are one of my favourite comforts out there on my own. I highly recommend the cheapest single layer Steel water bottle you can find. Fill that bad boy up on the heater before bed, or on a fire/stove, and wrap it up in something. Cram that bundle between your legs as you sleep and it's the nicest coziest personal heater for the whole night.
Surely this is what RUclips is for such a beautiful peaceful man seems very kind hearted and I jus love watching your video and being your friend don't ever stop Steve, Crazy neighbour and Beautiful wife love and peace from Dublin ❤️✌️😇
We're in the same city and I'm in industrial parks regularly so I often look for Steve. The problem is that he's so efficient at being stealth I might drive right by him and not even notice.
Steve your honesty is always refreshing. People want to thank you and you are entitled to make money for all your hard work. You rule keep doing what you do.
We might be entering WW3, but tonight it's totally camping with Steve, a Step 2 and some 16:04 goodness. Thanks for the fun and entertaining content as always. 62 is warmer than I keep my house( 55-58), now that's some winter camping!. Ive the same MrBuddy, and I've learned some handy tricks from watching your vids, both what to do and sometimes what not to do (just as valuable). May the best come your way to you and yours Mr Wallis.
I doubt that will happen over the current Ukraine mess, as none of the players in the game are THAT suicidal. But yeah, that's going to be humanity's end because we still haven't learned to abandon and shun the stupid and evil among us, letting them become victims of their own selves instead of us becoming their victims.
You deserve to get paid, Steve. Maybe it feels hard to believe since you're just doing something you enjoy, but it's true. We're conditioned to think that only stuff that sucks to do yields money, so if it doesn't suck we haven't really earned it or something. But you put out a quality product that people love, so I don't think you need to feel weird about it.
your videos are great! you do not panhandle! I thank the followers who are in the position to donate ! your no nonsense non gimmicky approach is what I enjoy. simple , honest doesn't equal boring. keep up the great work and keep stealth camping!
Steve steve steve. I'm an entrepreneur in San Francisco, CA where shit is fucking crazy at all times. I watch your videos at night before I sleep. I see crazy wild shit every day, but honestly your videos are extremely entertaining to me. You balance me out, and I'm absolutely fascinated and just vibing with you no matter what you do. Your original formula is why you have so many subscribers. Idk how many people have to tell you that for it to sink in. We're here for stealth camping, and we love every minute of it
What a treat, a blessing, to settle down for the evening and realize it's Thursday and find Steve's new adventure. A virtual getaway an escape for us all. Even though he's the one that has to endure the temperatures. Thank you Steve. Praying for Canada, America and the world.
Don’t worry too much about being boring Steve. I watch for the different weather techniques cause I’m stuck in the middle of a desert but might one day crawl my way out. I also love the camp cooking, it’s one of the best parts of your channel.
23:42 - "Oh the joys of stealth camping. It's been a bit boring today, just kind of sitting here trying to not be seen." Steve is selling it hard, haha. Great episode, thanks for the adventures.
Keep the beer donations, it gives us a sense of togetherness. Hunkering Down connects people. You've really got something special here. Great video, and I love that you call it pop!
Steve has to be the most kindest and friendly person I have ever seen in my life. It makes me wish the world had more people like him around. Keep doing what your doing. You have inspired many others to try getting out of their comfort zone and go camping and enjoy life like you. Cheers🍻

Luckily it's youtube so he just edit out the hours spent being bored. And that is fine. We are not bored : p
Spot on! We watch for Steve. The location comes way down the list of attraction!
Hear hear! you nailed it.
Keep the beer fund ! People don't donate because they think you need the money. They donate because they like you, your content and this channel !
Can tell it's cold by the sound of the snow underfoot. That sorta squeaky styrofoam sound. Northerners know. Sends chills up the ol' spine.
Even get it in Australia some years!
I hate that sound. As a kid, hearing mom open ice trays as well freaked me out too
Sounds the same in KY!
I know exactly what you mean. There is a big difference between the sound of sub zero F° snow or above zero F° snow. Lol
I never seen snow in my life... but by the sound I can say its cold too. Dont need to be a northener or whatever

It can be just behind a fence or in a slightly new area. All good.
True 👍🏽🥰
Stay true to yourself. No need to try and outdo yourself.
That's right.❣️
I agree with @Alexi Papas. I think your fans watch you because it's you, and you have become a viewing fixture for so many of us. I would hate to see you either get into trouble or hurt yourself in trying be "out there".
Steve, something to remember about 99% of the people driving are not looking for someone/something hiding out in the woods. Heck most drivers are not even watching where they are going.
Lol amen brother
So true
Everyone's just looking at their phones, duh!
Would be funny if they were watching Camping with Steve, though...
@phil veburst Steve makes no where near 200k, he might get close to it if he did sponsors but he dosent, plus he dosent pay cops shit lmao
Nobody gives a hoot, it is contrived drama.
Saying "It's warm already" while you can still see your breath is the most canadian thing i've ever seen
Oh yes, it's clearly lovely and ~warm while I can still see my breath condensing before my eyes...
Or anyone up north In the usa.. but hey they are just southern Canadian anyway.
If it's above 0 it's warm in Canada
@@tylerjones2695 It's funny how that changes too, in the early part of winter 0 does totally feel warm. But then after a series of deep freezes all of a sudden -10c is T-shirt weather haha
He also leaves his jacket around his neck open. I'm from Minnesota, so I know what that's like. After -20f, 0f feels like summer.
We are officially one step closer to "stealth living with steve"
I hear you brother or sister...
PANDA!? Glad to see you here my friend
Step one
Jiggly panda 🐼 is this thee real jiggly panda?.
theres basically a bunch of artist stealth living in mall ,
Quote of the week "it's only borderline dangerous." Another stealth camping gem.
"but did you die?" Lol
Lol I love that line lol
I caught that quote too.
he walked into that forest like a sussy imposter.
I liked the subtle pauses "it's only.. borderline.. dangerous". He's the stealth camping captain Kirk. This was the comment on top so I was waiting for it and it did not disappoint 😂
I dont think I could ever explain to my friends why watching Steve stealth camping calms me after work.
Haha, funny that, I tried and failed miserably!!
All they’d have to do is watch. Then they’d understand.
Amen
@Organized Chaos Lol a little uncalled for but OK
Awesome...and true...
One of the best parts of these videos is when steve checks out if his campsite is visible cus he gets so stoked when its well hidden 😄
tbh im liking the feeling to be hidden
For what it’s worth, you’ve never come across as panhandling. Not even close. This channel is very organic and we just love what you do.
Watching this for the camping is a secondary thing. Watching this to see a guy genuinely happy doing something he loves. Number one!
Steve, almost every RUclipsr has Patreon. YOU have beer donations and the way you tell it that was the fans idea. Don’t mess with what works. People who watch understand. Thank you for taking us away from all the troubling news. Stealth on my friend.
Lovely msg and I agree totally with you.
Don’t fix what is not broken….your beer donations are unique to you and you should keep them…also more work is not what you need right now…I think that you have too many projects under your belt…keep it simple…like you always have.
Agree!
Worst case put the beer donation at the end of the videos
I agree not to go for patreon, I adviced one creator not to go for patreon, but he insisted because people said it will be good for him and his channel. I my self noticed one day that I don't look his videos anymore for unknown reason, and so has done near 5000 others, He usually had around 10k views and now it's around 5-6k.
And I like to read the names rolling on the screen
I like to watch steve before bed and imagine myself sleeping outdoors like he does. Helps me relax and fall asleep.
I do the same and it really does help me sleep
Same here
Amen 🙏 ❤ same here ❤
Steve... don't end the beer donations, I kind of like watching the names and stuff scroll passed while you talk. We know you're not panhandling, it's the way we're supporting what you do. And don't worry about the naysayers, their voices are far more louder than the ones who love you and what you do. Keep up the great work, it's channels like yours that keep the rest of us sane
I also like seeing the names being a follower for so long of Steve it's amazing to see what he's built up!
I disagree with the last part of your comment. I think the voices of those who LOVE Steve is far louder than that of the naysayers!
@@debkski6084 Absolutely! There are 800k of us that appreciate Steve and would miss him if he stopped posting videos.
agreed! Steve you've been doing it this way since forever! I am going to miss seeing the name scroll at the end of some vids.
I'm going to be honest that I've not donated anything to the beer donation fund and have never felt pressured or peddled on them. But I feel that people who do would be just fine still donating to you Steve whether you use it for beer or equipment or even having a spare day off work to go out camping. Don't feel like you're asking people to donate at all if people couldn't they wouldn't 😁 loved the content for years buddy keep it up
Had a rubbish week, just sat down and opened RUclips, saw this, 39mins of joy. Love you Steve ❤️
May your upcoming week make up for this bad one. Gotta love Steve, a far better cure for bad weeks than seeing a Therapist!
This man is the only man prepared for the future housing market. Well done Steve!
I love the beer donation and the special messages people post! It makes it so communal and builds community. Please consider keeping it - no other RUclips channel does this. You rock, Steve!
Personally I like seeing the names of the beer donations. It keeps the channel simple, which is part of the appeal. Keep up the good work Steve. Thursdays are a tough day for me and I look forward to coming home and watching a CWS. it's therapeutic.
There is something strangely therapeutic about your videos Steve. I love watching them.
Part of it is his voice. Love it
Bob Ross of camping
I see similar comments on every video and I agree. He's doing something special over here
Have to agree, very calming
absolutely agree
The little smile when you say, "It smells fantastic" is giving me all the serotonin. Just has such a wholesome vibe
For my vote, keep the beer donations, let us participate in that vicarious way. And don't worry about episodes being edgy or fresh or new. We just enjoy you doing your thing. It doesn't even always need to be stealthy. Just low tech camping with Steve makes us very happy. Please, please, stop worrying about these things.
that didn't go as hoped🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the beer donation shout outs. Please keep them.
The reason I started watching was the stealth camping, but the reason I keep watching is the low budget that's affordable for almost anyone.
@@donsolo186 well that is true so true that it is low budget cause it is you just have to be clever about it and quiet and not a risk taker like Steve is about it and you can do some fun camping on the cheap for just the cost of some food and a few camping supply's
@@raven4k998 yep exactly, he finds a way to make it interesting either way. When I go camping I'm not looking to spend a fortune on all new stuff. Just looking for the adventure and easily made meal ideas like Steve does. I couldn't stealth camp alone like him bc I'm probably more paranoid and would need a buddy, but enjoy watching him do it.
This video encompasses why I love Steve. Fire code violations through the roof with his sausage cooking on a propane heater, coupled with step twos in a paw patrol chair. This is why I RUclips.
LOL
To be honest I didn’t chip in to see my name, I did to express my thanks for the joy you bring me and to invest (albeit in a very small way) in what you are doing at home and out on the road. I don’t think it would hurt your channel in the slightest not to have the shout outs but I think people greatly enjoy supporting this kind of content!
This is my favourite channel on RUclips , never change Steve.
I actually find your beer donation style charming - I think you should keep it. This was a great episode - down right impressive to me that anyone can camp at those temperatures! Very cool camping experience - and pretty ambitious to spend that much time in such a small shelter! Great video! 👍
Agreed!
With all the madness is the world, Steve is a welcome distraction - no politics, no hatred…. Just focusing on getting through the night safely without being seen. Simple, elegant, fascinating.
Yup his invasions are welcomed
@@harryfritter8266 I live in Europe and as you know the madness over here is just starting
You are absolutely correct.
I think distractions are partially why we have such a corrupt inept government. People have been using sports center, celebrities, and dodo animal videos to drawn out what's "scary" to them.
@@harryfritter8266 friendly people? lol have you visited Connecticut? Majority of the people here are ready to rip you a new one for the slightest mistake or inconvenience you bring to their life. I'd agree with you for the Northern states like Vermont and Maine.
The moment has come!
We've reached Friday Eve.
So grab a step 2
Cause we're camping with Steve!
@@EdgeOfNowhere2024 I think he means eve before Friday, like Christmas :)
It’s more important that we see you enjoying yourself than anything else. If you’re interested, it makes your viewership interested
“I’m probably being a little paranoid.” Probably the best summary of Steve’s adventures.
you would be to if you tried doing what steve is doing🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@raven4k998 The dude is literally camping. the worst thing that could happen to him is that he is asked to pack up and move along. I enjoy watching his videos as much as anyone else here but you can't seriously act like he is actually doing anything dangerous. He talks like he is a fugitive on the run whenever he sees people just walking nearby
@@PositiveVibes94 no the worst thing that can happen is someone comes along and stabs or shoots him not asks him to leave I have seen the texts on my phone the emergency alerts about those people running around out there so lets be realistic now
@@raven4k998 good point. Been through it.
When it's this cold I don't feel anyone would even think someone is out camping..therefore wouldn't even be paying attention to his location...Brave man burrrr that's cold
Watching the news for the last 16hours has been so miserable and depressing, hearing and seeing you brought me so much happiness. Thank you Steve!
Don't watch it. I don't.
Why would you watch something if it makes you miserable..
turn off your tv, it won't do anything for you but Fear factory 24/7 for last 3 years. The sooner you turn it off, the happier you will be. Promise. Cut off social media, and just enjoy your life. Trust.
Listen to John Prine, "Spanish Pipedream". Turn off the TV, throw away the paper, find you a home. Plant a little garden, grow a lotta peaches, try to find Jesus on your own.
Agree with everyone else here Steve! One of the best parts of our collective week is to get off social media, turn off the depressing news and “hunker down” with you instead. It’s just the type of respite we all need. The beer donations are just a way of showing appreciation for letting us come along for the ride each week 👍👏✌️
Steve!! The beer donations are so unique, I love seeing everyone’s names on the screen. There is an old-school feel to it which I also love. If we have to wait and there ends up being a TON of beer donations for some videos - so be it it’s no big deal! Most of your viewers like and prefer this way more 👍🏽
Same. I love em. Please keep em
@anita miller I can understand that, but people should also understand that just because there are lots of names it doesn't necessarily mean Steve is getting a ton of money from it. I've donated really small amounts before.
@anita miller Agreed!
I'd rather donate, then have sponsors 💯💯💯
I noticed when Mav made it big he took away his PayPal link. But he has sponsored videos.
So few genuine channels like this where the person is just themselves. I love it
Hey Steve, I don't know if you still read the comments or not, but I really wanted to thank you for doing what you do. I know, when you started this channel, you didn't expect it to have such a substantial impact on people, but it's really become something quite special to me & a lot of other people. These videos are like therapy. Whenever I've had a bad day, can't sleep, or am struggling, your videos always help to calm me & put my mind at ease. Also, my girlfriend recently started watching them with me as well. ☺
100% right! Couldn’t have said it better
Plus going back and watching them!
This is exactly what a Camping with Steve video should be. Not what people are "looking for" but what Steve does in an odd situation. I caught you at the (camping while going to school) stuff and they remain my favorite.
I almost forgot it was Thursday! Thank you so much for making this video and taking us away from all the choas in the world for 40 minutes. I know many of us appreciate it. Stay safe and good luck with the house sir and Dont forget to take some time for yourself (and beautiful wife) to recharge a bit!
Aman brought a smile on my face when I finally settle down and saw Steve's post and say oh it's Thursday☺
This was definitely not boring. These are my favorite type of your videos. Stealth camp in freezing weather cooking eating chilling. This is my favorite
Don't do away with your beer donations, Steve. It's the way we show our appreciation for you and all that you do. Also, I think people like seeing their names roll on the screen.
ABSOLUTELY!!
@phil veburst Awww! Don't be that way. A beer donation is voluntary. If it's not in your heart to give, don't. 🤷🏾♀️
@phil veburst are you okay?
@phil veburst "I couls do better.... "
That's nice honey now go clean your room
You give us such a great experience, Steve. If you're having fun, we're not bored--we (this fan anyways) are here for your joyful presence!
That time-lapse of the tent frosting at night when you were sleeping was awesome!
The video was far from boring, it’s actually quite relaxing. Thank you for your videos 😊
Steve, whatever you decide you definitely deserve to be paid for what you do. You provide quality entertainment for us and many of us would be happy to support that financially on a regular basis. Glad to see a two night this week. Stay safe and hunker down.
In a world that's going increasingly crazy (in a bad way), your videos bring a little bit of fun, a zany sort of good crazy to help us counter all the negatives that keep filling the news. I can't thank you enough for that.
I do admit to finding the stealth camping episodes a bit more stressful than the other types, just because I always end up worrying about what would happen if you got caught.
If you ever find that you need to cut back on the stealth, I would still be perfectly content with regular camping, traveling, rafting and whatever other adventures come your way both alone and with Beautiful Wife and/or Crazy Neighbor. It's all good.
As for the Beer Donation, it's your decision. Doing it the way you are might be more work and/or pressure than Patreon (spelling?), or it might not. Which method you can handle is up to you. But please don't think that you don't deserve the support. You spend time, energy, money and resources doing what you do, and sharing it with us so we can enjoy your experiences.
This is so important to so many people that the Beer Donation did develop just by people reaching out to you. I wish that I was still in a position to donate myself, because you're one of the few people that I would reach out to in gratitude.
Being in the public eye means that no matter what you do, or don't do, or change, or keep the same, there's always going to be a few who object. But I firmly believe that there are many of us who will support whatever direction(s) you go. Stay safe, hunker down and just be yourself... we'll be happy.
Another great video Steve!! Even with the technical problems...the light thing made me chuckle. You really shouldn't feel like a pan handler. You do a lot of hard work making these videos. You put yourself out there and your honesty makes the videos worth watching to the end. I hope it wasn't too much of a pain cleaning up the rental car's back seat. You truly are a AWESOME distraction from reality these days. Thanks so much!!
😂 I consider NOTHING a technical problem w Steve, after the “Bubble Wrap” shelter that instantly blew away! He always manages to troop through.... even when he has to collect his tent in pieces as it turns into litter. Joking aside, I agree w you. I’m happy he got heat, though. It not worth risking it in those temps!
@@natalierozean5989 I loved that bubble wrap episode, it was hilarious 🤣 and he stayed so calm in that situation 🤣
These videos are so calming I love them.
As someone with severe insomnia they've actually helped me feel comfortable enough to sleep.
Not to mention the quality. Big contrast to the other channels that are 50% intro and filler and littered with promos. Love it, keep up the awesome content Steve.
Steve you have nearly a million subs doing what your doing.
If it's not broken don't fix it!
Love the channel.
I love the camping vids but even the ones where you're just updating us about the weather or the acreage or what's going on atm. Seeing your videos is like catching up with a good friend - you're so real and that's very much appreciated! P.S. I love seeing the list of beer donations :)
I always admire those little pockets of wilderness we have even in big cities here in Canada. Camping in one seems right somehow. Thank you for the video.
Hey Steve, going through some hard times right now and you're videos really make a difference. Thanks for everything!
Same here, 👵
Sits in the Paw Patrol chair and is pleasantly surprised, then sitting there staring into the camera, "Oh the joys of stealth camping, a little bored after sitting here for hours trying not to be seen." I almost cried from laughing so hard. Thanks Steve. Reminds me of playing hooky from school (Skipping school) for the first time with a friend. We sat on the roof of the boy scouts building by a very busy road all day, it was about 8 hours of sitting there trying not to be seen, while being thirsty, hungry, and just a tad bit bored lol.
Missed your posts ever so much! Your adventures truely cheer a sad soul! It reminds that taking initiatives to do things ridiculously fun, but terrifically uncertain, is a special gift to oneself for the audacity of it all, and to us in being a party of it too! Thank you also for doing a two day stint, something I commented on once. You really do read these posts, don't you! It's truely audacious to have the tent out and up for two nights running!!!! The child's chair was a great comedy relief.LOL What ever you decide on the matter of patronage is truely your choice. Sadly the matter of ordering a $24.00 order of garden seeds for my garden is the best I can afford right now. But I could share some with you if you'd like! Thank you again for you being the concerned and attentive RUclips video provider!
That was honestly great. I laughed.
Also, the paw patrol chair was so ridiculously small :)
You are NOT panhandling, my good man!! You never said we had to give you anything!! We love your videos so much!!!!
When he bought the new heater at Canadian Tire, he should have bought a full size lawn chair and a cot which would have helped him out immensely.
Steve, absolutely keep the beer donations format. It makes people feel good to support what your doing and this format works.
Nothing better than watching someone enjoy the simpler things in life👍🍺
Really? Nothing? How about you enjoying the simpler things in life, yourself? Wouldn't that be better?
Steve you are a legend man. Such a genuine human being, half of the reason i stop watching most of my favorite channels is because every single one of them sells out. Thank you Steve for not being a sell out kind of guy. That down to earth feel is why i’ve watched every video on your channel, even the old videos of you whipping it up in the kitchen. What im trying to say here is we watch for you and your sense of humor, its your personality that keeps the viewers watching not simply what you are doing.
Exactly why I stopped watching Joe Robinet
I'm glad that you're testing out these activities. God help those that have no choice but to do what you're doing. No one plans to be forced to try this, but it's good to know how if circumstances give no other choice.
Without RUclips income Steve would not be able to do this.
Boring? This is the most amazing channel i managed to find this year. Seeing you enjoy the simpler things in life is a great twist.
Just want to thank Steve for loving his fans.He puts it all on the line to keep us happy and gives us something week after week.I tell everybody about Steve and appreciate you and all you do for us fans.He could be doing so much more with his time yet week after week he gives us a new show.Thank You Steve 🤘❤🤘
I love that Steve is trying to be as stealthy as possible but his car beeps when he locks it, announcing his arrival to the neighbourhood.
With some cars you can turn the "horn with locking" function off. Search those menus!
Dude, it’s literally parked right there with footprints making a trail to his spot. Anyone stopping by at night would probably be checking that he’s ok in the weather. It’s all good, though. Just Steve hanging out behind someone’s work. I want to send him a video game or iPad or something though. If I thought he’d use it.
@@rrpostalagain Steve's not into video games, he does step 2s.
@@pplusbthrust That’s what I figured, but I’m pretty sure you can do both. Haha. It just made me feel bored hiding in a little hovel all daylight. I wanted to see him watching a movie or something. He probably went and did something.
With my 2014 Toyota you could manually lock the doors and then close the doors to avoid that HONK HONK
... STEVE ya listening? 😂 Haha
You are a genuine dude. It goes a long way. No politics and no divisive subjects makes me come back for every video.
this man's smile is contagious, very happy to see that he's still goin on
Honestly Steve I have yet to ever watch one of your videos and think “this is boring”! Your videos are awesome! Thank you for doing these videos for all of us!
THANK YOU for the diversion from the news! And if you ever feel that the camping is too boring by itself, then just tell us a story! We always enjoy your humor and hearing about your past adventures as much as we enjoy going with you on your current ones.
Yes! Steve, please just tell us stories if you feel so inclined. Even the way you almost did tonight when reminiscing about "simpler times", I was hoping you'd go on more. I'm sure a lot of us can relate and it's just comforting to hear your take on things, the comments you make, your concern for leaving things clean...
My workday is more joyful knowing that Steve may be hunkered down nearby in a hunting blind, keeping an eye on things. We love Steve!
Favorite channel on yt. Steve is the type of guy everybody needs around, strictly good vibes.
You are the GOAT of Stealth Camping, Steve.
I would have given up when I heard -30.
YOU, went back out to get another heater.
Thank you for always giving 110%.
CHEERS, Steve.
"I hope this gave you a break from the news for a half hour or so" ....... literally the reason I'm watching this to keep myself from over dwelling on the potential global war...
Always a calm presence Steve thank you.
However you choose to do so, I hope you keep the Beer Donations. You deserve it. It's not panhandling you too-humble man. It's well earned support for all the work and time you put in. ❤️
A little bit of Mr Rogers energy from our friend Steve on a dark and scary news day. What a delight watching you for a full 39mins! Thank you for another gem 😊
I've never been tempted to support a patreon but I will 100% commit to signing up to yours!
Love watching Steve re-runs!!
If the beer donations have been there from the start of this trip then I think they should stay, it's like a little part of the history of your channel and it's sort of comforting to know the origins and that it's still there. Feels down to earth to me.
the fact that you were camping in extreme cold and the whole time you're just like "yup i'm bored" means you're really good at cold weather camping.
“It’s warm already… perfect..”
While we can see your breath like you’re puffing on a stogie! I love Camping with Steve!
The smile on your face when you took a bite of that casserole was priceless.
I say cook book ❤. Yes please 🙏
Honestly if you just went around to old stealth camp spots and made different food and a different shelter, I am still going to happily watch since it's a new, fresh video. Remember how unprepared you were for the culvert? If you made a part 2 of that one I would watch it so fast
That car beep during stealth times gave me the biggest crack up I've had in a long time!! And that folks is why this is definitely youtubes best channel! Cheers Steve and stay strong Canadian brothers n sisters!
He left his car by the side of the road...that's not suspicious at all. Love it!
In terms of stealth I'm Glad you said beep instead of ****
Steve I love your videos, I watch them all day and enjoy every one of them.You are so pleasant to listen to.I am a 68 year old African American woman and you and Crazy neighbor give me so much television pleasure.Keep the videos coming.Eleanor 👍🏾
I love this channel. The content is so compelling I am drawn in and feel like I am there. I can almost feel the cold, the warmth and relief of the campfire, the enjoyment of nature.
Hey Steve! love the content. I watch every week. I do a lot of solo camping myself, and your videos on my phone are one of my favourite comforts out there on my own.
I highly recommend the cheapest single layer Steel water bottle you can find. Fill that bad boy up on the heater before bed, or on a fire/stove, and wrap it up in something. Cram that bundle between your legs as you sleep and it's the nicest coziest personal heater for the whole night.
Surely this is what RUclips is for such a beautiful peaceful man seems very kind hearted and I jus love watching your video and being your friend don't ever stop Steve, Crazy neighbour and Beautiful wife love and peace from Dublin ❤️✌️😇
We're in the same city and I'm in industrial parks regularly so I often look for Steve. The problem is that he's so efficient at being stealth I might drive right by him and not even notice.
Where’s his car going to hide ?
Chad.... 😂
It never gets boring watching steve stealth camp. It's very relaxing actually, at least to me it is. Thanks Steve
On a sad day thank you for a chance to camp. 🇨🇦🌝
Amen.
It always makes me laugh to see Steve look both ways down the road before heading into the woods. Something just seems fun about it being sneaky lol
Being sneaky is always fun
Steve your honesty is always refreshing. People want to thank you and you are entitled to make money for all your hard work. You rule keep doing what you do.
We might be entering WW3, but tonight it's totally camping with Steve, a Step 2 and some 16:04 goodness. Thanks for the fun and entertaining content as always. 62 is warmer than I keep my house( 55-58), now that's some winter camping!. Ive the same MrBuddy, and I've learned some handy tricks from watching your vids, both what to do and sometimes what not to do (just as valuable). May the best come your way to you and yours Mr Wallis.
Time for a step 4:20
When the nuclear apocalypse hits, we'll all be camping with Steve, lol.
@@fumanpoo4725 MY KLINGON BROTHER!
I doubt that will happen over the current Ukraine mess, as none of the players in the game are THAT suicidal. But yeah, that's going to be humanity's end because we still haven't learned to abandon and shun the stupid and evil among us, letting them become victims of their own selves instead of us becoming their victims.
"This is a great camping meal"
You can tell he means it too, this guy is so dope.
food Band-Aids yummy
You deserve to get paid, Steve. Maybe it feels hard to believe since you're just doing something you enjoy, but it's true. We're conditioned to think that only stuff that sucks to do yields money, so if it doesn't suck we haven't really earned it or something. But you put out a quality product that people love, so I don't think you need to feel weird about it.
Steve is basically the urban Les Stroud. Steve's videos also coincidentally give me the same nice calming feeling I get when I watch Survivorman.
your videos are great! you do not panhandle! I thank the followers who are in the position to donate ! your no nonsense non gimmicky approach is what I enjoy. simple , honest doesn't equal boring. keep up the great work and keep stealth camping!
Steve steve steve. I'm an entrepreneur in San Francisco, CA where shit is fucking crazy at all times. I watch your videos at night before I sleep. I see crazy wild shit every day, but honestly your videos are extremely entertaining to me. You balance me out, and I'm absolutely fascinated and just vibing with you no matter what you do. Your original formula is why you have so many subscribers. Idk how many people have to tell you that for it to sink in. We're here for stealth camping, and we love every minute of it
Leave SF before you regret it. Such a terrible city. Things don’t need to be that crazy.
Feel same way man ,,,,I'm from Brooklyn NY...trust me nothing good here ...
What a treat, a blessing, to settle down for the evening and realize it's Thursday and find Steve's new adventure. A virtual getaway an escape for us all. Even though he's the one that has to endure the temperatures. Thank you Steve. Praying for Canada, America and the world.
And the Ukraine I hope
🙏❤🙏
50 bellow in Ohio hey!
@phil veburst you don't need to watch another one of these videos if they bother you so much
Remember Steve is trying to build a house
It's 33 degrees and 97% humidity right now and the sound of Steve walking in that frozen snow makes me feel cold.
The UK loves Steve and crazy neighbour. God bless brother
Don’t worry too much about being boring Steve. I watch for the different weather techniques cause I’m stuck in the middle of a desert but might one day crawl my way out. I also love the camp cooking, it’s one of the best parts of your channel.
23:42 - "Oh the joys of stealth camping. It's been a bit boring today, just kind of sitting here trying to not be seen."
Steve is selling it hard, haha. Great episode, thanks for the adventures.
My condolences on your loss of your wife🥺😢🙏🏽
Keep the beer donations, it gives us a sense of togetherness.
Hunkering Down connects people. You've really got something special here.
Great video, and I love that you call it pop!
Steve has to be the most kindest and friendly person I have ever seen in my life. It makes me wish the world had more people like him around.
Keep doing what your doing. You have inspired many others to try getting out of their comfort zone and go camping and enjoy life like you.
Cheers🍻
