  • Hi everyone, I am touching base with a borderline boring update to let you all know my plans. I appreciate all of you who have offered kind words, words of wisdom, and compassion during this time. The camping will continue and we will see how this all works out.

      Hey Steve!
      I hope some of my "step 2" things from RPMfest weren't too horrible.
      I know 1 was a certain style of "Spring water" called of all things, liquid Death.
      I was trying to have something funny but it may not've come off that way.
      I did try for a more full fledged video which I have on my channel that I dedicated to you, your fans & anybody else from that same event & tried to put it on the FB page but I guess that didn't make it.. Again, I tried to make things humorous by showing all my "camping neighbors" & posed a jokey question to you asking you if you ever had that as a situation.

  • @jessicap1705
    @jessicap1705 Год назад +615

    Hi Steve. I have to be honest and say that while I'm not a follower of your channel, my parents are close friends of your in-laws, Jess's parents, and I feel moved to leave a comment. I didn't know Jessica all that well, though we do share a name and a shoe size (which I know because she took a lot of my cast-offs when we were teens--good taste, that one!). However, I was deeply affected by her passing and attended her beautiful funeral service with my parents. What I do remember about Jess was her gentle, ready smile, and just how warm she was. I will always remember how welcoming and at ease she seemed, and that's exactly how she made others feel by extension. I also remember seeing a piece of gorgeous, brilliantly colorful art that Jessica had made hanging in her parents' home (I believe it was a lion, but this was a few years ago now, so I could be wrong). When I saw it, I was moved to tears. Before then, I'd had no idea that she was such an immensely talented artist. I hope this comment isn't unwelcome or insensitive; I know you're still grieving and I cannot imagine what you must be going through. But your comment in this video that this channel is called camping with Steve and not grieving with Steve... I think the main part to remember is "WITH Steve." Your followers clearly care deeply for you, and I hope you continue to draw comfort from that. Your positive attitude shines through here, and that's incredibly admirable. I can easily picture Jess smiling at you for it. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers, friend.

    • @campingwithsteve

      Steve or if whomever is moderating for him can get him a message. Perhaps a video showcase of her art and a little of her life could be a healing thing. And I know many of us would like to get to know her better. I know she didn't want to be on camera and I respect that but there is much more to a person that can be shown than just their face.

You think you're over the worst of it, and you see the cup he was drinking from when he got the news he had cancer, and your knees buckle and the tears flow again. Yet life goes on. And you're still here. One thing does not die, and that is love. I believe it's a two-way connection, so know she is sending her love in every moment you need to feel it. Camp on!

Your videos have helped me fall asleep time and time again and I've seen so many of them (sometimes multiple times) on a continuous playlist that I feel like I've known you for years. I've talked about you to my friends and told them, "he's the type of guy where if anything happened to him, you'd be absolutely devastated because of how nice he is." I feel so f****** bad, man. The fact that you'd call her "Beautiful Wife" when describing her in every single video just shows how much you care for her. I hope you understand that whoever those people were who were talking bad . . . they aren't even important, bro. You have a great GREAT deal of people who truly care about you and want to see you heal, even if this is most likely the hardest thing you've ever had to deal with. Keep being you, Steve.. and I pray you will find your sound mind again very soon. You have my utmost respect 🙏 Thank you for everything you produce, Steve.

    As a fellow camper I absolutely appreciate your channel. Heartfelt sorrow for your loss although I cannot say that I've been there. Great to see you get back into what you love doing and you should keep doing it! There is no better way to honor someone's life than to focus on what they supported you in and loved seeing you do. Hope to meet you out there camping one day.
    Don't hate the haters....not worth the effort!

    Steve, I NEVER comment on RUclips videos: I honestly think this is the first time I've ever done so! But I just have to say what I've seen so many other people say before me: you are one of the most genuine, kind, and honest people I have ever seen on RUclips. Thank you for being who you are and being such a good example to so many of what it means to be a genuinely good human being. Even when you're still going through the grieving process (which you have EVERY RIGHT to be doing right now), you are genuinely concerned for and grateful to your RUclips subscribers and everyone who watches your videos. That shows great moral character and a strength that is quite rare. So thank you for your witness and the goodness that you show to the world. We support you and your family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time, we're praying for you all, and just keep doing what you're doing.

      Feel sorry for them. They got to be in a really bad place to hate themselves that much and attack people that are vulnerable.

      I've been on RUclips long enough to know, these people aren't fans. They will literally see what is trending and come to spray negativity, and if the RUclipsr in question is having a hard time, all to the better. I've seen people obviously using multiple accounts -- replying to a question with the wrong handle is the proof -- just stirring up "Drama" to amuse themselves. Pretty much nothing to be done about people like that.

    “I don’t know what stage screaming at the sky is, but everybody does it.” Some of the wisest words I’ve ever heard. Steve, you’re a good man. Thank you for being you. Stay strong friend. You’re not alone.
