I picked up a cheap inflatable raft and paddled over to an island in the middle of a lake in a residential area for some camping. Many very nice homes were close by, so I had to be stealthy. I brought a couple of stealth camping shelter options with me but ended up using a surprise shelter instead. It was a blast as always!

I'm getting a lot of questions about why I wouldn't just boil the lake water. I would have in an emergency or survival situation, but all the runoff from the bird plops on the island would make any of that water taste terrible even after boiling it. In the middle of the lake, I would have easily scooped some up, but I had enough water to get me by without resorting to boiling that water which could be described as "thick".
@Serge S Why would you drink the hot water and boil your drinking water? He brought water so he would drink that and the water boiled would be for the pasta (if you're apart about it) lol
@@monster4khaosify good catch
Ya no thanks on the thick water lol
I was wondering why you were scooping the food off the ground. I would have just left it there or slightly bury it lol
Steve, I am here to ask about the Paw Patrol Chair
I represent a very important group of individuals
I don't check under my bed for monsters anymore, I check for Steve. You never know where he's camping these days. 😄 🤣 😂
LOL!
Love it!!!lol!!!! if you hear a can open in the darkness, dont be alarmed, it's
Just step 2!
Top comment 🤣😂
@@randyg.7940 it's well known as the famous "step twos"
I don't check either, I just sleep soundly assured that Steve is somewhere nearby, camping and protecting me.
*Sirens getting closer*
"Hey, welcome to camping with Steve! We gotta find a stealth spot really quick this time, guys"
😭😭😭😭😭
This made me laugh way too hard
he whips into a thicket and becomes invisible. After they pass, he opens up a Step2
Lol every time I hear sirens in a Steve video, I think “Uh-oh, today’s the day.”
Literally hidding waiting for the stars to disappear out in GTA
When I was a child I used to look at random hidden locations and I would imagine how cool it would have been to set camp hidden in plain site. You're living a childhood adventure
Nothing stopping you from going out on the weekend, plan ahead and start small
Do it!
I did the same!
Haha hell yeah my friend same here. I actually managed to do it a few times back in the day. I'd be out driving around with my friends with the camping gear in the truck (I used to camp A LOT), and we'd be out in the boonies somewhere surrounded by farmland and little patches of woods and such. On multiple occasions I would just slow down and cut the wheel suddenly, throw that bitch into 4WD and haul ass across a field or clearing on the side of the road in order to make it to the woods that looked appealing at a drive-by glance. We'd pull in, cover up the truck with some camo netting and surrounding foliage, and begin setting up a little spur-of-the-moment stealth camp site.
We did that so many times and frankly I cannot believe we never got caught or anything. In hindsight it was typically just an excuse to drink underage/get rowdy totally unsupervised and a method with which to do so since we couldn't go to someone's house or something back then. Those excursions were also overwhelmingly *stupid* and more than a one may have been executed in a questionable area, likely private property and not exactly as stealthy as we may have imagined lol. In any case, it was always still a TON of fun and I wouldn't change it for anything. Those camps tended to be more fun and more memorable than any of the times we went to an actual campground...
I still imagine it, I just like my comfy bed too much to do it
“It’s started to rain a bit so I’m just going to hide under my boat and drink some wine and hope it blows over.” This is probably one of my favorite Steve lines
Exactly what i thought! 😆
And then he spills the water 😅🤣
My favorite is from a more recent video, the abandoned mine one where him and crazy neighbor are talking about a slug on one of their freeze dried meals 🤣🤣🤣
Shows water he collected. Ends up spilling most of it. Steve is just at his funniest when his just being him self. These videos really make my week and really enjoy sitting down with my step 2 in hand getting ready for Steve's weekly upload. Thank you Steve for making my week 52 weeks out of the year
Thanks for watching! haha, I didn't even realize it spilled until I was editing.
@@campingwithsteve That wasn't as epic as when you held the stove in your lap!
It's like Kevin spilling the Chili in Steve's matter of fact voice. Pure comedy.
This guy puts 4 liters of stuff into a 3 liter pot, and then spills it, LOL. I did not see that coming.
The man's a legend!!!!!
Love how the video immediately opens with police sirens, almost implying he's trying to escape the authorities
He even seems like he's in a hurry
I didnt think about it that way lmao. Thats funny af.
Most people would do another take of filming if there were loud sirens in the background, he heard them and knew the potential implications and decided to go for it for the laughs. So not ‘almost implying’, he’s definitely implying.
Maybe there was, maybe he added in editing for drama.
My thoughts exactly 😆
I feel safe knowing Steve is probably camping nearby. Watching. Protecting.
Cringe lol
@@Grandremoneshut up goofball
@Grandremone I think that was the point 👉
Drinking boxed wine under an inflatable boat on a island in the rain. Now your stealth camping with Steve. Love your videos and how you take us camping with you.
Where's the foie gras?
alcoholics will drink anywhere, anytime
Haha classic Steve moment 🤣
@@squirt4059 HELL YES WE WILL!!!😂🥂
Warm wine no less.
sleeping on the dirt in the rain under an inflatable raft
Steve: "It doesn't get any better than this."
I love the fact Steve always gets his story together in case he gets busted, like he's planning a big heist or something and he always seems genuinely nervous about the cops or whoever!!! When his only crime is pitching a tent or putting up a hammock. But that's one of his many charms. A truly original and friendly guy who's a refreshing departure from most of the crap that's on RUclips, or anything else for that matter. Well done Steve and continue doing what you're doing.
i'm nervous around cops when i'm not committing a crime tbh
It's hilarious....as here in victoria there are tents in all the parks and sidewalks and the police don't care
@girlgirlboygirl you shouldn't be, that's not healthy. Be scared of criminals breaking inside your home and robbing you and your family at night.
Some of the nicer places that would be ideal for camping or even some towns can have very punative approaches to homelessness. I doubt he would ever really get arrested, but I would never put it past someone in a lake house from calling the local authorities just to have them chase off someone who's ruining the majesty of their view.
If he was doing a big heist he would do so unconcerned, secure in the knowledge that the police are off looking for homeless people to harrass.
Recently found this channel because the algorithm sent me the roundabout video, loving the stealth camping series, its an excellent short -medium video to fall asleep to at night.
Welcome to the channel ☺️ glad it's been helping
Same!!! Lmao!
Same again!
Steve ASMR
Same here, got recommended the roundabout video yesterday and thought hmm..this sounds interesting. Now I'm watching all his videos 😂
Hearing the sirens right at the start, was fully expecting "hey welcome to camping with Steve, they are hot on my trail so I gotta be quick with this one"
Lmao I said the same thing. Great minds.
I remember having to camp overnight on an island when I was about 10, so 1971. I don't remember what lake it was, other than near Edmonton, but my dad and I went fishing there in our fiberglass canoe. A storm blew up making the lake very ruff, so we put in to a small island. Other than our fishing tackle, the only thing else we had was a couple of old WW2 surplus ponchos. With the basic tools, we got a fire going in the rain with one poncho as a cover, and the other as a groundsheet, and cooked a couple of Pike on flattish pieces of wood we found. Rained all night, and we were both very cold, tired, and cranky by daybreak. In a light drizzle, we packed up our stuff back onto the canoe, then left, paddling around the other side of the island, WHERE WE DISCOVERED AN OLD, ABANDONED CABIN!!!! *FACEPALM*
D'oh!
But it is a great story!
I love this story. Seems like a predicament a father and son or daughter could look back on and laugh about for a lifetime. 😆
Hard to say about the facepalm-worthiness. Depends on how hazardous further reconnoiter looked to your dad at the time. He took the shortest path to the win that he could see in front of him. Apparently you had the means to make fire, and something to keep the rain off you. Plus side is a cold night that doesn't kill you is very instructive.
nice story
that would be such a nice memory
"Ok it's bad, it's like 'Kevin spilling the chilli' bad... Lucky birds around here tomorrow"... I really couldn't help but laugh. Love how realistic and genuine this experience is, rather than all filtered and secret hidden preparation; we've got Steve tripping over his camping stove :)
Remove the English ivy from trees like trash
Omg i was cracking up on this part! 😂
@@javierloyo9714 Me too! "hopefully it doesn't spill all over the place" cuts to "OK, it's bad." Oh I had to rewatch that a few times!
"I am just going to hide under my boat and have some wine." Pure gold! Keep it up Steve!
I love this channel because it's unique. Everyone is doing bushcraft with product placement, but not Steve. This channel is doing something that no one else is doing.I love the channel, this content. and Steve's personality. He's doing things that I always wished that I had done. I'm living vicariously through Mr Wallis. Thank you.
No product placement, but Canadian Tire sure gets a lot of love. Wish there was one in the US. Sounds a lot like Tractor Supply or Murdoch's
Hello everything he uses is product placement, the raft has a name on it, what doesn't have a logo on it.
I’m also living vicariously through him
Yep, I love the lack of endorsed products and in video ads. Actually, I didn't see any ads on this one.
nah dude, there are a looooot of bushcraft channels with no product placement. I would say most of them don't do it unless they promote their own merch once in a while
By the way way, at this point, the entire city of Edmonton, including law enforcement loves you. You make every Thursday better for me and so many others. It was a very lonely time a couple of years ago when I found your stuff and it has literally saved my life many a night. Cheers.
Yes, he's definitely a lonely life saver. 😊⛺👍
I think he helps a lot of homeless out by making these videos. Perhaps people won't be so concerned if they ever happen to stumble across someone sleeping out in the bush in the metro areas.
Yep and mine
I love that steve always leaves things nicer than when he arrived. He is inspiring in many ways
For some reason, this one reminded me of 50 years ago, sleeping out with friends in the treehouse we built on a steep hill above railroad tracks. Good times. Your videos always put a smile on my face. Thanks for posting.
I like how Steve’s on an island and breaks out the booze and still looks around “just to be sure” haha love it man!
Kinda got dry and boring after the first 5 videos the cops know who this guy is if they wanted to bust him that badly his house would of been raided years ago
@@McRambro Meh!
@Diino both
@@McRambro raided for camping 🤣🤣🤣🤣 not gonna happen
@@Fpoonful that's my point, why does he make it so dramatic it's dumb asf like a guy faking a plane crash to get views.
"I'm just going to hide under my boat and have some wine" That got me right in the chuckles.😄💙
Today would be my dads 43’d birthday. I get stuck thinking and these videos give me comfort. Thank you for being a modest and honest person. God bless.
Doesn’t pack water but packs wine😂😂
A man who has his priorities straight.
That's a Canadian for ya 😂🇨🇦
Only the essentials
Goes stealth camping. Has a bright white LED light shining on him to film at night.
“There’s a sign over there. I can’t read what it says but I gotta feeling it’s for me.” 😂 I’m hurting from laughing so hard! Thanks my Canadian brother!
yeah I was also😂😂
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Let's all hunker down
Time for a step two
"I gathered a little bit of water"
*shows the camera and spills a bunch of it*
I love how easy going Steve is. Just goes with the flow and doesn’t take himself too seriously.
Always give you a "like", but have not commented until now. Watching this carefully its clear this did not go a smoothly as you would have hoped - not enough water, broken camera, food prep glitch, rain, etc. It appeared you worked pretty hard to pull this off, looking classy, up beat, and composed all the way. Love your videos, please keep em coming, and thank you!
Don't forget the guy questioning him and the spider in the morning! ;)
You're right. Serious respect to him.
Steve is awesome....
He did well with what he had to work with and conditions.
15:18 A guy spotted him and he thought he was "busted". Busted doing what exactly? Why are you sneeking around going to places that absolutely anybody could go to. This doesn't require "sneaking". Is that what everyone watches this for? To laugh at the guy who doesn't realize this is totally unnecessary?
"It's like Kevin-splling-the-chili-bad" made me actually laugh out loud. Since I'm one of the few The Office and Steve fans here in Germany this made my day.
Especially when he started scooping it back up with the lid, had me cracking up
I love that you leave places better than you found them ❤️
He didn't remove all the English ivy that doesn't even belong there
Guy is an eco-warrior for sure..
Next time you’re rowing a boat, turn the boat around and row with your back facing wherever you’re going, you’ll be able to put more force into the paddles by leaning forward and backward when you’re rowing. This also haves the added benefit of not tiring your arms as quickly.
Came here for this comment. 😂
Such a short distance to the island, I think Steve was facing forward to make his progress easier to see...dunno
Ya know, I come here for the Camping With Steve adventure, which is simply All Goodness, for me. Then, I linger for another hour and read the comments of humor, love, personal stories, private pain, appreciation and just simple enjoyment in a person none of us know …but boy, do we wish him well and the best of life. Peace and love to him, beautiful wife, Crazy Neighbor, and Gar(bage) the cat. Thanks for taking us camping with you every week, Steve!
Cmon folks let’s give Steve 1 million subscribers, this man makes my day whenever he uploads his videos. Thanks for another one Steve. Cheers 🍻 everyone. 🙌
That's so kind! I'm more than blessed with the subscribers I have already though, everyone is so cool here. I'd be happy if I just had this amount forever :)
@@campingwithsteve Thanks for keeping it real Steve, you’re such a humble guy.
If someone deserve 1 million + subscribers, it's Steve
Steve, it never ceases to amaze me why you cook copious amounts of food for an entire group of campers yet you’re solo…until you accidentally tipped the pot over and it was an ahah moment lol!
Something about sitting under an inflatiable boat sippin wine wile it rains on an island makes my heart warm...
"I threw a pot out there to collect some water in the rain"...I was expecting Steve to show how he was channeling the rain water from the bottom of the raft into the pot, using branches, leaves, maybe the wind breaker of the hammock; some kind of improvised contraption, survivor style, resulting in several gallons of fresh water...Steve then proceeds to show three spoons of water of which he spilled half. I immediately burst in laughter! My damn favorite content creator in YT!!! 😂
Does he believe he is an actual camper? Some of the things he does is actually comical but he is being serious. Like he is in a world of his own. I think that is part of his attraction. How unusual he is. Who in their right mind would actually camp like him?
@@gammarayspurt473 ddwsd
He says many times even in this video to not do what he does, he just has fun and makes content.
Lots of people. Who have time to meticulous eyebrows up like your staying for a week. So much work, for one night and too much to carry.
@@gammarayspurt473 what is an actual camper? This is definitely the first time I’ve seen someone gatekeep camping. Hilarious
I've only just recently came across your videos. I used to be extremely active with camping and hiking and all that up untill becoming disabled a couple of years ago. I am only 32 and am on dyalisis 3 times a week for about 4 hours at a time... I really enjoy watching your videos. They have really helped me pass the time ❤️
I've been island stealth camping on the Savannah River and didn't know we were even stealth camping at the time. Had a giant bird jumping on the top of my tent in the middle of the night. Good times.
Are you sure it was a bird and not Steve?
Your ability to adapt to situations is inspiring.
Sooo glad you didn't paddle out at night to see how stealthy the island camp looked from the Lakefront homes. I get nervous when you check the stealth! LOL
Steve always almost gets caught when he checks the stealth 🤣
I introduced my wife to your videos and she loves watching them now. We watch an episode almost every day while we eat dinner. What a nice surprise when we say down this evening and a new episode was posted 5 minutes ago! Keep up the great work Steve, from a former Edmontonian!
you are a wonderful soul for this world. thank you Steve. not sure how I missed this one.
Man, I don't ever leave comments like this, but there's something so warming about you and your videos Steve. You just seem such a pure soul - and that is reflected in your content. Never change bro
For future reference, a lot of those little air compressors allow you to attach the hose to either the outlet side for inflating a raft or the inlet side to help deflate it quickly and thoroughly.
Honestly one of the most tranquil channels, such a humble dude! Love ya Steve
Absolutely agree
It was nice to see someone use a boat as part of their shelter. I have long thought that a viable option, but had never seen anyone do it.
I admire your patience in all things.
I could tell this wasn't your happiest outing, but I still appreciate you toughing it out and sharing it with everyone!
yes, and he might want to keep his 'Step Two' to beer with less alcohol than the bottle of wine he consumed. Keeps ya from dumping your dinner on the ground! Keep Steady Steve!!!
@@geirbalderson9697realistically he could have used the wine in the soup for some extra liquid and flavour!
Any day now I'm going to catch Steve stealth-camping in my backyard but I'm going to pretend that I don't see him.
I enjoy watching Steve when I'm out camping at night just sitting at the picnic table.
The classic and authentic feel of these videos are unparalleled, wish there was more like you.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the incredible lengths Steve goes to bring us amazing content? Keep up the great work Steve! No other channel on RUclips I know of does it quite like you.
👍👏
How tall are you, private?
@@PerfectionInMotion69 Not sure if you’re considering the logistics and risk of getting out to that island. If his raft had flipped he would have lost several hundred dollars worth of cameras and other equipment. Not to mention if the raft deflated and couldn’t be fixed he’d either be stuck there or have to leave his equipment behind.
@@Favorite-catNip Plus, remember that he is not ,nor necessarily should he, doing this for free! I enjoy his vids, but he does make money from his channel and from his patreon- beer fund subs. That is all good, but he does generate income from this this interesting content.
@@MikeJohnson-ld9rn ok. Just kinda interesting his cooking & camping to influence people to get outside.
It's impossible to get this man down! Steve has incredible spirit.
That’s the alcohol talking
Steve you're so polite, and well mannered, and kind, and peaceful, you're lovely man, for real
If Steve ever gets too worried about getting caught stealth camping, he can do great camp cooking videos. I never eat as well when I'm camping.
Using a take of the intro with the sirens blaring is just GOLD!
I admire Steve's unwavering dedication to fresh-baked bread.
Same day freshness!
He has definitely changed my outlook on fresh bread over the years lol
Man, I wish I had a camera when I was homeless lol The adventures I could have shared
right! I was stealth camping for REAL. Even got caught a few times
New to the channel. Directly subbed. I really like how you don't take everything too serious. There are way too many outdoor channels trying to do the super survival marine stereotype. This might me helpful for some situations, but hey: whenever i am outside on a hike or kayaking i just want to enjoy being outside and this is exactly the vibe. Cheers from germany :)
Just when I thought you can’t crank it up any more from a mini roundabout, you top it with a mini island. Steve Wallis, the true MacDaddy of stealth camping. Peace and love brother 👊.
I only just discovered you like a week ago Steve, and I can't stop watching. It's a bonus that you've uploaded tons of videos. I live in Wisconsin, so I can definitely relate to the -40 camping vids. I also gotta tell ya, I've lived alone now for a few years now since the ex left, and I've been eating nothing but absolute junk since, lol. But watching you cook these awesome, quick and easy meals has inspired me a bit to actually try cooking different things for myself, and opt for healthier ingredients as well. So I just wanted to thank you for that. I'd definitely donate if I weren't already behind on rent, lol. One day when I get caught up I'll do what I can. Keep doing what you love!
Nice comment!
bro i live in wisconsin too Steves legit
Wisconsin fam here
WISCO boy checking in!
Great job man improving little by little. That’s how you do it, no overnight shit, it builds up over time. You’ll get caught up soon enough!
‘Hopefully not overflow all over the place’
*cuts immediately to the pot tipped over* this made me chuckle good.
Steve does make this challenge look like a walk in the park because he's the best.
@@Janglesteined He's not a joke, but he doesn't do anything really challenging either. Guess it's just his style or whatever 🤷🏿
No, Steve has mastered being a joke. So on initial impression one thinks he's a joke but has actually gained skill on how to gain maximum enjoyment doing stealth camping. Doing stealth camping that most of us can only dream of. Thus, Steve's videos allow us to do it vicariously. Thank you very much Steve! May the Gods bless you, protect and guide you, in whatever you do!
I love that Steve is not only conscience about leaving places the way he found them, but that he packs out garbage from all the other previous idiots that were there. Thanks for taking care of our beautiful Earth Steve. Another great video, btw!
ok I agree with the sentiment but he did leave a tarp there though - edit - kudos for the honesty about leaving it there and for the quality content of course
@@webg03 The tarp that Steve left was not his. He didn't bring it onto the island. People who clean up after others can only do so much. Sometimes for various reasons (which he stated in the video) certain things aren't picked up despite wanting to do so.
@@AzaleaBee yeah thats true, you make a very good point. no shame on Steve but screw whoever left it there originally. messing up that beautiful lake island
I haven't really commented before, but I just want to thank you for making these videos. I didn't have a dad or any prominent masculine figure growing up to do things like take me hiking and camping, two things I love doing and always wondered what it would be like. But now I don't have to wonder so much, your videos have really given me comfort in that regard, especially since my mobility began declining and those 2 things I loved became iacseesable to me. Your videos have just given me the ability to still experience those things in some capacity and I just wanted to send out my appreciation because your videos have helped me though a lot of rough days and helped me come out of depresive episodes.
Hang in there young man. Life can be a kick in the arse even for those with full mobility, trust me. I'm glad you found this channel and that it brings you joy. Keep your chin up, and... don't do anything Steve does 🙂👍🏻.
I'm not sure why I watch this.
“Don’t do anything I do” ….. Cheers Everyone…. Love it.
“It’s starting to rain a bit so I’m just gonna hide under my boat and drink wine.” Lol 😂
Steve- “Let’s hopefully not spill it all over the place”
Literally the next scene food spilled everywhere- “oh it’s bad”
I laughed so hard haha
I couldn’t help but audibly laugh at that scene 😭😭😂😂
It's exactly the kind of mistake I'd make 😆 so relatable
I know I’m not alone, but watching your videos bring me such joy and peace ☺️ watching you camp on an island is surprisingly comforting, even with the bird noises haha
You can cook a box of macaroni in 300ml - 350ml of water, depending on how al dente you want it. Go up to at least 400ml if you're including a cheese packet.
I don't know what it is about you Steve, but you're just so heartwarming. Two minutes into the video and already feeling like, "ah yes, exactly what I needed". Love your adventures. Keep being your chill badass self. ❤️ Much love from just across the border.
When you see a kind hearted honest guy being naturally funny without trying, you can't help but smile. People probably think he's a hoarder with that ride packed up fool. I knew a lady who traveled a lot, but is a hoarder, and her car has a bit more stuff, but a lot of it is camping gear because she camp's when traveling. She has stuff happen to her all the time, and once ran over a mattress about 30 miles from work in the winter, and the parking security called up and asked her if she knew she had a mattress stuck under her car. She said no, but thought for awhile she heard a funny noise, but kept driving to get to work on time. Security had to jack up the car, and a lot of it melted and stuck to the exhaust, which took awhile to get it out. Took a long time to live that one down. The crazy thing about her, she learned to scooba dive in her 60's, and she will try anything, her step 2 is wine lol. God bless.
Why not sleep in the raft in the water tied to a tree with a life jacket on?
Inflating a boat, paddling out to an island, then sleeping there. Steve you really have been pulling out all the stops lately!
Some small islands near Mansfield Hollow Dam -Mansfield Ct.
@Tommy Gaming 🅥
What's this, your family reunion?
At first I started watching these stealth camping videos thinking how ridiculous it is…then I watched one…then another…and another…now I just want Steve Wallis to be famous and keep doing what he loves. I’ve only watched about 6 of his videos so far, but I really enjoy the simplicity of everything and for some odd reason, whatever he makes to eat, makes me want to try it. This reminds me of the beginnings of survivorman
Umm... Survivorman is the original real deal. Nothing and no one else on these "bushcrafting" channels even come close to Les Stroud.
I love that he's not really that competent, just about competent enough. Makes it much more immersive than with survival experts making similar content.
"I'm just going to hide under my boat and drink wine!" Too funny. Thanks for sharing, Steve!
Steve, you’re the greatest. I’d look at that island and go “hey it’d be cool to camp on that little island lol.” and never do it. But you actually do it. I admire that. I’m taking my first camping trip of the year this weekend. Got my hunker down sticker and everything.
How about if you were paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to do it?
Go for it! Then come back and tell us a bit about it. 🥰
@@morkusmorkus6040 well sure. Can i get an advance to buy a boat?
@@logann7942 Ask RUclips/Google...they'd be the ones paying you.
Whenever I’m sad or depressed, I always watch your videos. It calms me down. Love ya Steve!
Just stumbled upon this channel and im going on a whole journey, this is the lake I’ve made so many memories on and swam in every summer my whole life, crazy to see a dude just chillin camping on it 😂
also he said happy graduation in this video in my home town while i was graduating
The thing I love most about you, Steve... "Look what these other jerks left... Well... I'll take care of it..." We need more Steve's.
He's doing what we've all dreamt of doing as children. I love it!
Congrats on 900K subscribers, Steve! I'm sure 1M subs will be here in no time! It's been an absolute pleasure binge-watching your adventures! Don't ever feel like you have to keep us entertained with extravagant ideas.. most of us are here just to watch you and hang out! You could do the most mundane things and we would be right here to watch them!
Extreme Homelessness is such a vibe
An island, a raft and wine in a box. Who could ask for anything more? I half expected Crazy Neighbour to pop out of the lake with arms raised in the air and snorkel mask.
That would have been hilarious!
Epic.. would have been just epic!
Gregg, you win RUclips today!
I was worried every time Steve moved that boat. First dragging it over the rock boat ramp and then on the island . All the downed trees with sharp twigs. Good job looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for cleaning up.
I have an inflatable boat similar to the one he has. They're surprisingly tough. I've dragged mine around and hit many rocks in the river and haven't had any problems.
There made pretty well.
Me too - watch out Steve!
When I was a child, I would imagine building forts everywhere... And I grew up. Now I'm watching your videos, and while I drive my car I start to look for potential locations for bivouacs again... I guess I'll have to try that.
this channel is gold, so happy i found it
You're the Bob Ross of stealth camping.
You made a comment a couple of minutes into the video that I have discovered after 30 years of paddling is so true. "The island is further away than it looks." Great video. Thanks!
This trip was just Steve making the best of every single thing not going to plan lol. And taking it like a champ!
one of very favorite Steve camping adventures. I love river islands more than anything!!!
Steve I have been waiting all day for this... told my wife when she left for work that I was gunna stay home and watch Steve today... she told me I couldn't watch til she got home.. so I went to work lol
Steve is the stealth champion; Hands Down
@sara f Steve is bratty sis confirmed
@@Awesomo12000 😂
Steve's are the only videos I hit the like button on before I even start watching.
Oh yeah, I feel like homeless people should take notes. Especially cleaning up the camp when you leave
I immediately started laughing when I saw the title.
Ahh, Steve, you bring back memories of reading "Endurance" - the story of the Shackleton expedition to Antarctica in 1914... Part of their epic adventure of survival after their ship was crushed by the ice is similar to your adventure.
The men of the Endurance lived under their life boats on Elephant island for months!
Steve, great minds work alike.😊
Nature and Space photography is always a wonderful excuse for why you find yourself in the middle of no where, at night, with a pile of gear.
Oh hell yes! When I grew up we had a house on the lake and there was a little island out there I always wanted to visit I never did. Maybe I'll go out there again and stealth camp now
"We got a few drips of water" *chucks half of it away while sitting down*. never change Steve, never change.
The owners of those homes are so lucky! What a beautiful place :)
As someone who loves rain I would not even mind the rain. Tbh it would just the experience more cozy
