Hey Steve; Long time listener, first time caller from Manitoba. In among all the demands of this, I hope you continue to enjoy what you do. You’re obviously a genuine guy! My 4 year old daughter and I watch all the time. She calls you “That Calm Camper Guy”. High praise indeed! Thanks for bringing joy in this weird age, buddy. 😀
Yeah man i second that statement. I hope you continue to enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy. Please dont try to force something your not into to please us viewers. I really think you need to continue to explore your passions so you stay engaged and happy because you have a great thing going that a lot of us wish we could do. I just rewatched some of your boondocking stuff, wow you have grown. Its a strange new age!
Steve you really don’t know what you do to some of us. Such a special genuine person and the personality is over the charts. We don’t deserve you but we are blessed for your presence and hard work. Thank you.
I agree ..Steve is the sort of guy you'd like to bump into on your own stealth and end up sat around the camp fire 🔥 and then Crazy neighbor turns up too lol
Right? I started watching the channel because I was interested in bushcraft and stealth camping, but I honestly keep tuning in because of Steve's wholesome energy.
Just got left by my girlfriend of 4 years, seeing steve and hearing his wit towards literally anything makes me feel so much better and i thank you steve
Currently in divorce with my soon to be ex wife of 10 years. It's been almost a year since it started. It's tough, best healer is time but that's the longest thing to wait for. Keep your head up and keep focused on yourself.
that is the first time I have ever truly felt sorry for you , the look on your face having smelled the burger bun was absolute youtube gold , the forest fire , youre so honest , how many other youtubers would have edited that out in order to look cool , if that half hour isn't quality viewing to people then I truly feel for them , wow steve absolute classic , keep 'em coming sir indeed
Precisely why I watch Steve and not the others. It’s rare to find down to earth persons, that are honest and simply fun to be around, no strings attached. :)
Do you ever Wonder how you would be doing with your channel if u wouldn't have stopped posting???? I know I wish I would have made one a long time ago 😔....glad to see Steve go from homeless to building himself a house 🏠 👍
I sort of like when you whip yourself up a nice homemade meal! I understand the hard-cores might want an MRE review -but I’d prefer a Steve Special Foil Meal any day!
@@Gigicola312465 it’s becoming a cult channel with a massive following. I Laugh out loud at some of the gags. It’s genius. A special talent. Surely got potential for an Amazon or Netflix deal?
Right after saying no camp fire because it’s dry, the grass lights up from the stove which is in TALL dry grass. Epic!!!! Hahahaha🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Steve you crack me up man, Love the vids👍🏻👍🏻
Reading the comments makes me feel better knowing I'm not the o ly one using steves camping videos for an anti depressant. He has such an amazing, calming, beautiful aura. Stay safe ❤️ 💙 💜
yep. i come here on my darkest days because between steve and this wonderful community he's created, it makes me feel comforted and less alone. hang in there friend.
@@wessthemess117 Well, Stobe The Hobo (James Stobie) used to sneak an entire 30-pack of beer onto a moving freight train in addition to his bulky backpack. Sometimes in the darkest hours of the night, at that. So I suspect that Steve keeps quite a few of them...
Looks like a lot of us have had rough days/weeks and this video is the cheering up we need. Thanks, Steve. And I hope we all get a respite from having bad days.
@ThePinkDaisies Unfortunately in my end, the mask mandates & now, vax card checks got rolled out. Granted, this happened in the town next to me but, it'll probably happen here too. I'm in Western MA & the area bringing back the tyranny is Greenfield MA.. My work area is Turners Falls & my house is out in North Adams.
@@ChicanoOne760 If you can handle the following, it may help you over things quicker. 1- cook with garlic & ginger .Ginger goes good with chicken & beef, not so much with pork & turkey. 2- hot & spicy stuff. I go for something known as Ghost Jolokia sauce from a place known as Tropical Pepper. Just be careful because it's pretty nuclear. 3- If you like the taste, either Grapefruit juice or the ruby red kind of the same thing It'll help you sweat out the bug or, hopefully it should. The rest will or hopefully will help you get rid of any congestion & maybe stuffy nose.
Reminds me of early elementary public school lunch. Sometimes the bag looked better than the lunch. Good lunch, peanut butter and jelly, applesauce, milk and cookie. Bad lunch corned beef, beets, milk, peach mush. I look back and I would gladly eat either one.
After watching your bad experience with that MRE, I feel like I should send you a Modern U.S. MRE to redeem your experience. Lol. You're awesome Steve, thank you for another good video.
@@JR9979 I have 39 left from box A and b. I couldn't resist the chili mac lol. So I can send a different menu then you did. Do you remember what menu # you sent?
Are modern MRE ok ? I used to pack a couple tins of beans n sausage and bread.put up with the weight and restock every otherday.( was never too far from civilisation)
I watched your videos before I go to sleep. Most of the time, I end up falling asleep and could not finish the video. Steve, you are so funny in your videos and you make me laugh and your voice is so soothing that it lulls me to sleep. Thank you for your videos.
Hi Steve, sending you this comment from the north east of England. First video I watched of yours was one of your ice fishing "tent" ventures and after that I was hooked. Love the variety, from boondocking, to stealth camping, school bus, SUV camps you really have covered all bases. I would like to thank you for making this whole pandemic bearable. As a key worker, I have had some crappy days but watching your videos on an evening have got me through it. Many thanks, and keep HUNKERING DOWN 👍👍👍
I recently had to really learn how to cook meals because of my parents getting sick and hospitalized this year. Your cooking helps inspire meals when I have ingredients but don’t know how to combine it. Enjoy your videos and cooking so much!
Wow… of all the videos I’ve seen Steve cook in…. This wonderful comment comes at the worst time. I wish your family the best… but please seek culinary inspiration for you and your family that doesn’t include anything from this video! Boiling water to make instant food, almost puking at the smell of bread, eating peanut butter and Kit Kat and going to bed and waking up hungry, an off camera trip to the car for emergency boil a breakfast??? This was one of, if not the worst of Steve’s cooking!! He could of ate better by bringing more beer .
Steve you just are so relaxed and a man u can trust. I get that feeling and you you don't appear to be an asshole to others. Keep up the great entertainment and original no frills content which is gold. Hi from Tasmania .
Steve I've been watching forever but I'm just now caught up to the point where I was waiting for this video to drop today. Big fan, appreciate all the work you and your supporting crew (Shoutouts Beautiful Wife and Crazy Neighbor!) put into these videos man
Love your videos. Just spent this afternoon puking up the lunch my daughter spent on. Can't eat ..but is the least of my worries. Your videos calm me and know something is out there for me
The Mighty Steve can conquer all types of camping, but bring a dam rouge hamburger bun and all goes to hell... lmao😱. Great video bro, cheers from Ontario 🍺
Car camping is awful in Ontario. Had to get by using the carpools. The funny thing is I wasn't the only one sleeping in my car in those lots. Some are sketchy and got drug deals going on in them. North Ontario is okay for boondocking. But east and south ontario are too populated and everyone is fighting over parking space there
all the other bushcraft videos have guys whittling traps and testing knives steve is more interested in not tipping over his beer while balancing his dinner on his leg. i love it.
Steve, I had a really crappy day today and the only thing that got me through it was knowing after im done with it all I get to come home and relax in front of my laptop and watch a hot off the press Steve Wallis camp/van/stealth/crazy neighbor show and it really helped me press on. Quality stuff as always man. Thanks for entertaining us all!
I love the way you cook. Just like a normal person throwing food together and hoping for the best. And i love how much you cook for yourself too. Cracks me up
If you ever wondered how these backcountry fires start refer to this instructional video. My wife and I were yelling at the TV “no Steve no!” And then the fire began. What I love about this channel is how unfiltered it is. Makes mistakes, no shame, it’s things we’ve all probably done at one point or another. And I’ve gotten some good ideas from them for cooking. Thanks Steve!
The mental mechanics of field rations is this: if you are physically exhausted, haven't slept in few days, it is cold and you have wet clothes - any food is *GREAT*. If the food is warm, it is divine. Later in life, you remember how great that food was, you buy some and you just might go back in your mind to that moment when the industrial food replica really hit the spot.
I would just like to appreciate your editing and taking the time to set these shots up. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air and easy to watch/enjoy. Thank you 🙏❤️
Just found your channel tonight. It has a Red Green crossed w/ Bob and Doug Mackenzie feel. The Canadian sarcasm is fantastic I instantly subscribed 👌 Well done Steve
I’m a big fan of brats too. Most grocery stores have a good version of cheddar brats, omg! With a nice bun, and condiment of your choice delicious! Add some corn or? Great dinner.
I think know this but.. we come for the camping.. we stay for your personality. Watching you debate over eating that bread was adorable. I was smiling ear to ear thinking 'no don't do it!' And then you said you were fussy about fresh bread in real life. Haha. I'm so glad my friend recommended this channel. I've been on a dozen adventures with you already and I wish for years of videos to come. Much adoration from Tennessee!
Hey Steve, I personally really enjoy the meals you cook while you are out camping...don’t change a thing! I actually look forward to seeing the many different( and inspiring!) meals you come up with. My favorite thing to do on Thursday is to grab a meal and watch your videos.
A couple of tips for a setup like this. First, when the weather is not cold or raining you can leave zippers open on the rainfly for ventilation. The zippers at the foot look like they can provide a little fresh air coming through. You could attach a loop to the side entry door to prop it open with a hiking pole, a stick, or just run a line to a tree to keep it open. Your netting will still keep away the mosquitos. Just play around with the ventilation and you'll be much more comfortable, plus opening the entry door on the rainfly will give a feeling of openness. Second, with the open flame, low to the ground stove, you might want to cook a bit farther from the tent. You don't want dry grass to flash up and burn the tent before you have a chance to extinguish the flames. I'm not stuck on one variety of your videos. I enjoy them all.
Felt sorry for Steve and his freezed dried food adventures this week. I love that Steve is always expanding his toolkit with different camping setups. And really looking forward to the reveal of the finished boat.
God that pot cooking in the grass was giving me “viewer anxiety” and then boom we have a grass fire lol. Totally thought Steve was gonna try that bread though 🤣🤣
Steve, if you continue to use that type stove, pack a large sheet of aluminum foil (maybe doubled) to put underneath it. Then you can avoid any grass fires. Folded aluminum foil will take up little room in your pack but may save you!!
What the heck Steve. I’m a pregnant mom from Texas who’s bed ridden sick in my first trimester watching RUclips for my only entertainment, and now I’m hooked watching all your camping videos knowing good and well I won’t be camping anytime soon. Thanks for taking me along your adventures and for the distraction from all this miserable nausea. Appreciate it! 😅 🔊Hunker Dowwwwn! 🔊
you could 'smoke your gear' as they say in the Forces - spray the fly with grey/green paint to cover the white patches - it will probably be actually stealth then
Sharpie Markers come in DOZENS of colors , they've probably got 6-10 shades of green that you could scribble over the Tan patches. Home Depot & WalMart used to have Flat-tone Rustoleum CAMO spray paint ( but i haven't seen it much anywhere for several months ; probably a C0v!d related supply chain issue )
Really dig the longer videos lengths, Steve! Feel immersed within your adventure. 🍺😁👍🏼 I also like the idea of you shooting a ton of videos in different areas, with different set ups on your own land. Lots of content, leading to further bing viewing, and RUclips hours - watched by viewers. Hint hint!
We bought our first pop-up tent today because of you. The ease of set-up is incredible. We got a summer one. I'll be getting a good winter one too. Now to find a great woodstove like yours and coble together a stove pipe through the roof. I want to camp like Steve! Imma gonna camp like Steve and Hunker Down with a Step Two or two! Thanks for the great and fun vids.
I wish I could send Steve a good freeze dried meal. Someone out there has to be able to send him some good meals. Or maybe someone who makes dehydrated meals. If I could, I would.!! I'll do my best to connect him with the people I follow. Keep up the real stuff.!!
STEVE, might I recommend some ideas for light weight camp food from my backpacking times that aren't the prepackaged stuff necessarily because its not all bad. Instant ramen with tiny mayo packs, packaged chicken, and some spice, instant rice with the instant tiki masala or indian food you can find in the grocery store, instant quinoa or rice packs, instant mashed potatoes with cut up pepper beef jerky. I enjoyed the patagonia instant meals (chili, bean soup, lentils) because you actually simmer them in your tiny camp stove rather than do the water in a bag thing. This sort of stuff is prepackaged nicely, is perfect for working a backpacking tier kit, and still allows for some of the ingenuity you usually like to bring. My friends have even found a few of the water in bag ones that are decent for long treks like you are saying.
I actually enjoy the Mountain House Breakfast Skillet and so does my partner, so it’s a go-to for camping and hiking. I need good coffee, breakfast, and dinner options. I’ve enjoyed making breakfast burritos or taco burritos, freezing them, and then cooking them in a skillet for any meal while camping. Super easy to let them thaw during the hike, fry them up, put on hot sauce and enjoy. I don’t want to assemble food while I’m hiking or camping. It’s more dishes, mess and I want to stay kinda clean and easy. If I’m camping at a campground in Washington, there is usually food I can pick up on my way; my campground membership in Birch Bay even has an excellent sushi bar. Lol
Steve eating good is an essential part of any camp trip no matter if it is short or long. Enjoy yourself and let your tastebuds rule my friend.. Great video thanks for taking me on the wee adventure 👍
Omg same!! Every video I watch helps alleviate some stress & anxiety.. I love nature & camping but sadly too scared to go alone... love watching his adventures.. hes such an amazing human, beautiful aura
Referring to everything in Celsius and not forgetting to convert to others. As an Australian I can actually understand what he says with all the temperatures.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 yeah I could look it up, but it's not something I have to think about when it's in Celsius. I know 40°c mean ls we are all staying indoors, and if my food is inbetween 5°C and 60°c, it need to be eaten, thrown out or frefridgerated within 4 hours.
Always a pleasure to see Steve's successes and failures on a budget when camping out. Exploring new food ideas, cooking methods and camping equipment makes for a good video. Including the humor like starting a grass fire makes it even better. Hunkering down to watch more.
Hey Steve, I've been following you for a few months now and this was definitely one of your best! I almost threw up when you started dry heaving a little, lolol. I also wanted to say thanks for keeping your videos clean so anyone can watch, so Thank you, and have a good week!
My HB and I were in a car accident today. Woman blew a red light, totaled our car. So I was so glad to see this upload today, your videos are always relaxing.
👍Stay strong, take pictures, report to ins, hunker down & relax. Happened to us recently & the kid’s dad tried to sue us! We had witnesses & got their statements. Our ins co made her folks’ ins pay!
Okay you killed me on this one I love the way you said the camera the proper way to use the emergency stove oh and did I mention the fire in the grass!
I always found with hexy stoves the best option to avoid a fire was to cut a small bit of turf out to sink the stove in, then fill it back in when finished. I also learnt that if you can keep the soil of the cut turf wet it’s less obvious when replaced, but that step took a few years to learn
I have been watching all of Steve's videos and now I definitely have the itch to go camping again myself & have been ordering some supplies for my backpack for camping and planning on a little hiking/camping trip here in a few weeks with the wife and dog. Thanks Steve for the great camping videos!
This video's hallarious brother, love how you do what you do, and you're exactly right, food has become something to look forward to because this world sucks hahahaha, the point of food is to nourish and to keep the body operating so we can live life. Thanks for the vids and keep up the cool campouts and pints are a given, cheers and keep having fun can't wait for next vid 🤙👊🍻
I have been watching your videos now for the past couple of months hands down my favourite thing to hunker down to Steve. There genuine no bull straight up chap. You bring us freedom so thank you Sir and stay true to who you are Mark UK WIRRAL
13:50 "I started a grass fire... Did I learn my lesson? No. Let's try it again!" What a beautiful disaster. We love you, Steve.
picks up red hot stove with hand...........then tries other hand.............you literally can't write this $H!T. Comic genius.
This had me in stitches!

Literally dying 🤣🤣
He turns survivorist mode by eating live bugs and expired MREs, skipping on the bread.
It was a trainwreck I couldn’t look away from.

Steve, I had a really crappy day today and the only thing that got me through it was knowing after im done with it all I get to come home and relax in front of my laptop and watch a hot off the press Steve Wallis camp/van/stealth/crazy neighbor show and it really helped me press on. Quality stuff as always man. Thanks for entertaining us all!
Sauced Tech, I get what you’re saying!
Really gotta know how crappy that day could really be, that only this video could get you through the day..wtf
@@tomlorenzen4062 Really gotta know why you chose to take that comment so literally that you felt it deserved a reply and a wtf.
You're the kind of Dad I always wish I had.
I like watching Steve. He is the calmest guy in the panic fire situation. Cool👍
Watching Steve go slowly towards ultralight has been such of a reward.
Watching Steve slowly go from blue ribbon to kronenburg has been such a reward.
Lets not forget he recently bought a bus and is in the process of building a boat 😂
@@ILike2PlayBass he's doing the stuff we want to do.
@@mikeoxsbigg1 he gets paid to be a bum
This is perfect. I am having a step 2 while I watch - cheers Steve!
I love the way you cook. Just like a normal person throwing food together and hoping for the best. And i love how much you cook for yourself too. Cracks me up
"Most of dinner was just peanut butter and Kit Kat bars."
Now that's some relatable content.
Hahahaha I appreciate this comment
how do you hold it down without puking?
@@escapetherace1943 I think peanut butter and Kit Kat bars would be coming out the other way. Quickly.
My husband and I live watching your videos at night while we hunker down in Naples FL where it’s too bloody hot to camp…..
love love love your site!
If you ever wondered how these backcountry fires start refer to this instructional video. My wife and I were yelling at the TV “no Steve no!” And then the fire began.
What I love about this channel is how unfiltered it is. Makes mistakes, no shame, it’s things we’ve all probably done at one point or another. And I’ve gotten some good ideas from them for cooking. Thanks Steve!
I know it's an old video and an old comment - but yes. Why not clear the area at least a bit. So dumb.
The mental mechanics of field rations is this: if you are physically exhausted, haven't slept in few days, it is cold and you have wet clothes - any food is *GREAT*. If the food is warm, it is divine. Later in life, you remember how great that food was, you buy some and you just might go back in your mind to that moment when the industrial food replica really hit the spot.
I still love eating MREs. Even after 10 years as a grunt with 8 deployments.
Someone speaking truthfully from experience right here. Hats off to u sir
You could’ve just said you have ptsd 😂
@@Omni11B thank you for your service sir 🙂
I'm sorry but you've never been hungry. When you're stravingg cattails are high-class
I would just like to appreciate your editing and taking the time to set these shots up. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air and easy to watch/enjoy. Thank you 🙏❤️
This channel is literally the most relaxing thing I’ve found thus far in my 32 years on this earth. HUNKER DOWN!
Just found your channel tonight. It has a Red Green crossed w/ Bob and Doug Mackenzie feel. The Canadian sarcasm is fantastic
I instantly subscribed 👌
Well done Steve
A perfect description!
check the video catalogue its a dooooozey bro!
Welcome to the group.
Careful now. Watching Steve can be addictive.
Ah HELL that means ya haven't met The Crazy Neighbor yet.
Boy yer in for a hell of a ride.
Be prepared to have a lot of step 2s handy
love your videos. I'm glad you're not adding music to fill in the silence. It adds a lot to hear the natural ambience
"we all know what this is"
I love you Steve
When you were sniffing the bun I was yelling "Don't eat it! Doooon't!! Nooooooo!!!" LOL Thank you for not eating the bun.
Thanks for NOT throwing it out in the field so no animal would get sick either.
I’m a big fan of brats too. Most grocery stores have a good version of cheddar brats, omg! With a nice bun, and condiment of your choice delicious! Add some corn or? Great dinner.
I feel something different watching Steve's videos, I don't know how to describe it but it really lets me come down from a crazy day
It's his voice man... So calming
Steve, its been an awful week for me, I wish you knew how much I've looked forward to this week's adventure. Cheers my friend.
Hope it gets better
it will get better Wes!
Best wishes Mate
I think know this but.. we come for the camping.. we stay for your personality.
Watching you debate over eating that bread was adorable. I was smiling ear to ear thinking 'no don't do it!' And then you said you were fussy about fresh bread in real life. Haha. I'm so glad my friend recommended this channel. I've been on a dozen adventures with you already and I wish for years of videos to come. Much adoration from Tennessee!
Steve's hazard perception is just non existent. :'D. Guy's lighting a fire in dry grass, lol.
right next to his tent too!!!
And his bag lol
that could really have ended up in a forest fire
Hey Steve, I personally really enjoy the meals you cook while you are out camping...don’t change a thing! I actually look forward to seeing the many different( and inspiring!) meals you come up with. My favorite thing to do on Thursday is to grab a meal and watch your videos.
A couple of tips for a setup like this. First, when the weather is not cold or raining you can leave zippers open on the rainfly for ventilation. The zippers at the foot look like they can provide a little fresh air coming through. You could attach a loop to the side entry door to prop it open with a hiking pole, a stick, or just run a line to a tree to keep it open. Your netting will still keep away the mosquitos. Just play around with the ventilation and you'll be much more comfortable, plus opening the entry door on the rainfly will give a feeling of openness.
Second, with the open flame, low to the ground stove, you might want to cook a bit farther from the tent. You don't want dry grass to flash up and burn the tent before you have a chance to extinguish the flames.
I'm not stuck on one variety of your videos. I enjoy them all.
Felt sorry for Steve and his freezed dried food adventures this week. I love that Steve is always expanding his toolkit with different camping setups. And really looking forward to the reveal of the finished boat.
Forgot it was Thursday ! Just checked youtube, notification The legend of Steve continues ! Hands down Thursday is the best day of the week.
God that pot cooking in the grass was giving me “viewer anxiety” and then boom we have a grass fire lol. Totally thought Steve was gonna try that bread though 🤣🤣
I thought it was just me lol
I know a "Steve" that might try that bread…
@@Perktube1 Steve Erwin? He’s dead so probably not.
@@Perktube1 Nice
"This tent has got a lot of adventures ahead of it" (grass smoldering outside)
Steve, if you continue to use that type stove, pack a large sheet of aluminum foil (maybe doubled) to put underneath it. Then you can avoid any grass fires. Folded aluminum foil will take up little room in your pack but may save you!!
I like this. I prefer my welder's blanket, but this seems workable too.
What the heck Steve. I’m a pregnant mom from Texas who’s bed ridden sick in my first trimester watching RUclips for my only entertainment, and now I’m hooked watching all your camping videos knowing good and well I won’t be camping anytime soon. Thanks for taking me along your adventures and for the distraction from all this miserable nausea. Appreciate it! 😅 🔊Hunker Dowwwwn! 🔊
He's just so relaxing to watch
Except for the grass fire part. Lol
I know. I don’t get it.
Steve's Stealth ASMR...
you could 'smoke your gear' as they say in the Forces - spray the fly with grey/green paint to cover the white patches - it will probably be actually stealth then
Sharpie Markers come in DOZENS of colors , they've probably got 6-10 shades of green that you could scribble over the Tan patches. Home Depot & WalMart used to have Flat-tone Rustoleum CAMO spray paint ( but i haven't seen it much anywhere for several months ; probably a C0v!d related supply chain issue )
Paint doesnt stick very well to new tents mayne after its been in the sun quite a few times and the plastic is becoming UV weathered
This is what I do to my tents-- use matte paint on the reflective high vis colours.
He has a camo/ghillie net he’s used before. Throw that over the bivvy and he’s golden.
@@RobRoyRoadie seems a more realistic option
Your videos have saved me from watching Hallmark and being sucked into depression because my life isn't like the movies. Thank you!
He has such an amazing wonderful aura, so much so, we can enjoy it thru videos!! ❤
Really dig the longer videos lengths, Steve!
Feel immersed within your adventure. 🍺😁👍🏼
I also like the idea of you shooting a ton of videos in different areas, with different set ups on your own land. Lots of content, leading to further bing viewing, and RUclips hours - watched by viewers. Hint hint!
Hello Dear, nice to meet you here, how are you today? 🤝.
Ditto here, I like the 30 minute or so videos better, to be honest Steve is one of the few that I’d watch for an hour on YT.
Yeah i was pumped it was a 30 min vid.. still was over to quick.. what can you do..?
@@jonbennett118 Hehe. True! I’ll re-watch a few of my faves, and wait for the next new one! Have a great day, Jon! :)
Favourite show of the week Camping with Steve
We bought our first pop-up tent today because of you. The ease of set-up is incredible. We got a summer one. I'll be getting a good winter one too. Now to find a great woodstove like yours and coble together a stove pipe through the roof. I want to camp like Steve! Imma gonna camp like Steve and Hunker Down with a Step Two or two! Thanks for the great and fun vids.
he's fussy alright
I wish I could send Steve a good freeze dried meal. Someone out there has to be able to send him some good meals. Or maybe someone who makes dehydrated meals. If I could, I would.!! I'll do my best to connect him with the people I follow. Keep up the real stuff.!!
Send him meal now !
I randomally stumbled across your channel, Steve. Love watching you and neighbor and if I lived up their I'd be down to join you guys on adventures.
STEVE, might I recommend some ideas for light weight camp food from my backpacking times that aren't the prepackaged stuff necessarily because its not all bad. Instant ramen with tiny mayo packs, packaged chicken, and some spice, instant rice with the instant tiki masala or indian food you can find in the grocery store, instant quinoa or rice packs, instant mashed potatoes with cut up pepper beef jerky. I enjoyed the patagonia instant meals (chili, bean soup, lentils) because you actually simmer them in your tiny camp stove rather than do the water in a bag thing. This sort of stuff is prepackaged nicely, is perfect for working a backpacking tier kit, and still allows for some of the ingenuity you usually like to bring. My friends have even found a few of the water in bag ones that are decent for long treks like you are saying.
I actually enjoy the Mountain House Breakfast Skillet and so does my partner, so it’s a go-to for camping and hiking. I need good coffee, breakfast, and dinner options. I’ve enjoyed making breakfast burritos or taco burritos, freezing them, and then cooking them in a skillet for any meal while camping. Super easy to let them thaw during the hike, fry them up, put on hot sauce and enjoy. I don’t want to assemble food while I’m hiking or camping. It’s more dishes, mess and I want to stay kinda clean and easy. If I’m camping at a campground in Washington, there is usually food I can pick up on my way; my campground membership in Birch Bay even has an excellent sushi bar. Lol
Fun Game.. everytime steve says "Stealth" we drink.
Cirrhosis in an hour.
Steve eating good is an essential part of any camp trip no matter if it is short or long. Enjoy yourself and let your tastebuds rule my friend.. Great video thanks for taking me on the wee adventure 👍
This episode is a gold mine, the small whimper Steve lets out when he first looks in the bun bag kills me every time! 😂
Hey Steve I just subscribed and great videos. I agree with the fresh bread thing, sometimes the bread from Walmart isn't fresh.
Preservatives aren't wholesome!
I love Steve’s videos and I can’t get enough. I feel like I should send a constant reminder to Steve that he is constantly improving my mental health
Omg same!! Every video I watch helps alleviate some stress & anxiety.. I love nature & camping but sadly too scared to go alone... love watching his adventures.. hes such an amazing human, beautiful aura
In case you weren't sure Steve was Canadian, I noticed he described the fuel tablets as "pucks" lol
Still is Canadian,I hope!.I got the Canadian accent by listening to many Devin Townsend interviews.

Referring to everything in Celsius and not forgetting to convert to others.
As an Australian I can actually understand what he says with all the temperatures.
@@Sovereignty3 In America, water freezes at 32°, and boils at 212°. Body temperature is about 98°.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 yeah I could look it up, but it's not something I have to think about when it's in Celsius. I know 40°c mean ls we are all staying indoors, and if my food is inbetween 5°C and 60°c, it need to be eaten, thrown out or frefridgerated within 4 hours.
I don't know if I can handle the wait for this river camping trip!
nice tiny tent! happy camping!👍
"Some people might not know I'm fussy about fresh baked bread" LOL
I am amused - actually shocked by some of the things you stuff in yourself - pain hamburger did me in...take care
Thanks Steve. I've got a mild case of covid and your videos are the only thing making me feel better
Always a pleasure to see Steve's successes and failures on a budget when camping out. Exploring new food ideas, cooking methods and camping equipment makes for a good video. Including the humor like starting a grass fire makes it even better. Hunkering down to watch more.
Hey Steve, I've been following you for a few months now and this was definitely one of your best! I almost threw up when you started dry heaving a little, lolol. I also wanted to say thanks for keeping your videos clean so anyone can watch, so Thank you, and have a good week!
My HB and I were in a car accident today. Woman blew a red light, totaled our car. So I was so glad to see this upload today, your videos are always relaxing.
👍Stay strong, take pictures, report to ins, hunker down & relax. Happened to us recently & the kid’s dad tried to sue us! We had witnesses & got their statements. Our ins co made her folks’ ins pay!
Okay you killed me on this one I love the way you said the camera the proper way to use the emergency stove oh and did I mention the fire in the grass!
I appreciate you sharing your experiences steve. My sons and I are going to start camping. Thanks from Scotland 🏕️
I always found with hexy stoves the best option to avoid a fire was to cut a small bit of turf out to sink the stove in, then fill it back in when finished. I also learnt that if you can keep the soil of the cut turf wet it’s less obvious when replaced, but that step took a few years to learn
Steve, your videos keep getting better and better! Love them. Keep on hunkerin’ down!
We know we will be. 🏕
Steve, mountain house freeze dried biscuits and gravy you’d be surprised how good it is!
I have been watching all of Steve's videos and now I definitely have the itch to go camping again myself & have been ordering some supplies for my backpack for camping and planning on a little hiking/camping trip here in a few weeks with the wife and dog. Thanks Steve for the great camping videos!
This video's hallarious brother, love how you do what you do, and you're exactly right, food has become something to look forward to because this world sucks hahahaha, the point of food is to nourish and to keep the body operating so we can live life. Thanks for the vids and keep up the cool campouts and pints are a given, cheers and keep having fun can't wait for next vid 🤙👊🍻
I’m five minutes in and Steve, this shot framing and the sheer beauty of this location is astounding. You’ve really gotten better at that over time.
Please never stop making these videos.
I have been watching your videos now for the past couple of months hands down my favourite thing to hunker down to Steve. There genuine no bull straight up chap. You bring us freedom so thank you Sir and stay true to who you are
