    I got back to do a night of camping at the place I lived for years. The campground was kind of abandoned for a year or so and I parked my RV there for ages for free. Some of this adventure was filmed for an old Boondocking documentary I filmed. Truly a beautiful campground and my favorite place on earth.

    Rest in peace to Steve's Beautiful Wife. I love you Steve we are here for you. No matter what. I began camping again thanks to you and after suffering a mental breakdown and relapse on amphetamines, I almost took my life and was hospitalized, when I got out I just binged your content and I've found something that makes me feel whole again. I feel better and you're a reason for that. Thank you.

When you first set up the woodstove in the shanty in your backyard. It was the first video of yours I watched. I don't even think you had 100k subs then. I've been hooked on these videos ever since.

I'll never not shout "Hunker Down" as I drive by it! I just wanted to thank you for showcasing the island and surrounding areas with such a gentle attitude. You're always so respectful and you really can tell how kind of a heart you have. Continue carrying yourself with such grace, Steve. You've somehow become a friend even though I've never met you.
    Your videos, whether or not they're stealthy, are the highlight of so many people's weeks. If I had the income (I've got a sob story that no one wants to hear) I would be in your step 2 club so fast. So cheers, friend! Keep making your beautiful videos, we love them!!

I can tell you from nearly 12 - 14 Years of watching RUclips, your channel is definitely up there with the greats. You've struck content gold, and with you just being you it makes a seemingly "regular old camping" video into something unique to you. Glad the RUclips Algorithm done something right for once.

    The problem is so many people are living in cars, vans or RV's now and looking for free spots and then they unfortunately leave a mess behind when they leave or they set up a more permanent camp which ruins it for the people who don't overstay their welcome and clean up after themselves. Now these access areas are blocked or have signs up that there is no overnight parking/camping. I think it's only going to get harder to stealth camp or overnight park free as more people are out on the roads living in vehicles.

    Hey Steve, I'm from Florida and love your videos! I was introduced to your channel by one of my neighbors last year. You inspired me to get a tent! I haven't been able to camp in it yet though because all the darn snowbirds have booked all the sites at all the parks near me up until mid-May 😂
    You have some of the most relaxing and genuine channels I've seen on the platform. In an age where just about every video on RUclips is extremely fast-paced and filled with constant jump-cuts, it's a relief to see a large channel make more slower-paced videos just being themself. Keep doing what you're doing!

      I think its coleman brand i may be wrong but theres a tent thats not super pricey at all and it folds out so easy you dont have to run rods thru the vinyl each and every single time it just collapses so easy, get that and an air matress, some trail mix and your preferred step 2 and youre good to go. Maybe sleeping bag depending where you are i live in the south so its rarely needed
