Huge Storm Camping In Cheap Hammock
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- $30 hammock, $20 tarp. Cheap gear camping with a big storm blowing through. It was a blast! I stayed fairly warm as long as I didn't go to far from the sleeping bag. It actually snowed through the night.
Today's meal was Hamburger Soup with some winter ale and fresh tray buns. It was a night of camping to remember!

Steve just camps in a random place, for one night, in a random shelter. Then he has a drink, cooks and eats some food, and sleeps. No real action. Yet I can't stop watching.
It's low key O.G. cottage core (hear me out). We are all so accustomed to cities and technology that seeing a person out in nature: making their way, just doing their own thing, it's bliss 🤗.
@@leenone8673 I agree!
I dream of having property to do this on
Can't stop watching because we all know we would rather do the same kind of camping doing pretty much as little as possible 😉
Having a meal out in the open just makes everything taste better!
The world needs more Steve.
Absolutely right! The world would be a better place for sure!
I would watch this guy homeless under a bridge lmao.
I just found this channel and I don't know how it hasn't been sooner. The chill factor, everything. I'm gonna change the way I eat to be cheaper!!! Save moners
@Joseph Smith I know a woman who wants to be buried in the woods. That way her husband will have to visit her from time to time. Vaughn
@@melvin5818 he did that one already.
Steve seems like the type of good friend who you can sit outdoors with and he'll keep a nice friendly conversation going while cooking a soup buffet
Zachary Spence! It's cool seeing you here. I owe a lot of my knowledge of Cubase to you.
@@alecdawg11 Hey that's awesome! Ya I pretty much traded music production for camping these days lol
@@Scorge120 Dude, that's awesome. I just watched your two latest videos. I was just looking up Fireboxes yesterday lol. I'll be tuning into the camping videos for sure. I hope you haven't totally given up on music, but either way, you're a legend. My friend and I still use all the plugins and all your EQ settings from the smooth metal lead video.
okay?
I would pay for that privilege.
“About the size of a cheap hot dog” is a term I will use now when talking about diameter. This man doesn’t miss. Legend.
My wife uses this term with me all the time.
Steve is the Les Stroud of camping vids.
Love that analogy so much. 🤣
Americans will use anything but metric.
Wait a minute...
@@MastaSquidge Except hes canadian :/
Every other camping channel: always try you gear before you go into the woods
Steve takes it out of the package in the woods.
Great channel, I’ve enjoyed every episode I’ve watched
He is basically in his own backyard, right? As long as he can bail and run to his house, I still call it testing. 😁
Pmsl its hilarious but anxiety inducing but unique all at once bloody brilliant entertainment
@Joseph Smith "BOY SCOUTS......I don't know what their motto is now.".
Judging by the news reports it's 'Don't get yourself left alone with the creepy, fat, chief scout with the wandering hands".
The Main Man.
@@levelearthobserverlies2710 Den Diddler
I legit will watch this when I wake up and am trying to go back to sleep. I'm not saying it's boring but that it's relaxing. So far the audio is very level. He never yells and there are no spikes in the audio. It's great to listen to while falling asleep. Especially this episode, with the rain hitting the tarp.
Steve is great. But also for that there are a lot of great ambient videos on RUclips. Also with rain 😁
@@Aalborg42 The Relaxed Guy has a bunch of good ones. I also watch Bob Ross, but I turn the screen off, and just listen.
Me too!
ASMR with Steve
So true. Just him doing his thing.
90% of people would have bolted straight back to their truck with this weather. Steve sleeps like a happy bear and wakes up in a total winter wonderland like it's no big deal lol :D
How much you want to bet as soon as the GoPro went out, so did he, straight out from under that cheap tarp & into his truck then indoors! He crawled back under just in time to shoot his morning after ending! Didn't you see his face & hear his voice? He didn' sleep there are you kidding! It's ok Steve, I would've done the same thing! lol
@@johnnyraycampbell I really don't think that's what happened
@@johnnyraycampbell apparently your just a fake and phony. Why do you even watch this channel ???
Doctor Campbell Nah, you must not watch many of his videos apparently. He has a passion for overnight camping in bad weather.
I imagine Steve going out camping and saying.. "This weather is WAY too good, let's pack it in"
Steve is the antidote to the modern world's angst. He's a peaceful gentle soul!
ITA!!! Nothing ever bothers Steve. The only time I ever saw Steve even remotely angered/annoyed was the time Crazy Neighbor accidentally said Beautiful Wife’s real name on camera 😳
A beautiful peaceful man 😇
He's not only camping in adverse conditions, but he's also out there taking the time to film different shots while setting up camp, I appreciate these shots, and his tenacity through out this process. good job brother.
yeah it ads to the fun and makes things more entertaining for both him and us for him to have something to do and for us to watch
The urban Les Stroud. Eh?
Right there with you in the different shots, loved the establishing ones showing the wind in the trees, the rain on the tarp, really sets the scene.
Others have said it, but I'll say it again: We need a camping with Steve cook book, with a recommended step two for each dish.
Absolutely
I'd buy that for a dollar!
The cook book is a great idea
I’d buy it.
@@TheAdamfee is that Canadian dollar or US?
I like you Steve, you’re just a normal guy who likes to sit outside.
beautiful wife could be the reason :D
Im watching this sitting on the bruce trail smoking a joint

@@billmurphypenguins3774 I am on step 4. Canadian Crack
@@alexvranesich6774 smells like bacon i bet lol
Steve is like the Mr Rogers of camping.
I don't think Steve does much by the way camping but loves sleeping outside and buying stuff but I just love he's attitude towards he's videos and time he puts in im addicted can't stop watching the channel 💯♥️
he's more of a Bob Ross than a Mr Rogers
I would gladly be his neighbor
@@Last_Chance. Only if you're crazy... 😀
Mr. Rogers wishes :P
The can opener with the label still attached! Priceless!
Minnie Pearl popped into my head when I saw that 😄
I always get the feeling that he stopped at a walmart and purchased everything on the way to the camp out! Like that giant bottle of chopped garlic. lol 😂
I think we’ve all been caught out somewhere with a canna food and no CanOpener. This is why I carry a P 38 military can opener in my wallet I put black tape over the sharp part and there’s been a couple times when I’ve had to break it out it takes time to open a can with one of those but it does get the job done.
I was thinking the same thing. lol!!!
Maybe he's going to return it after the weekend lol
My only wish is to figure out how to be as chill and loving of life as Steve is.
get drunk while camping
Step 2
I only wish there were woods this close to my house
Step 2 and chill
You should watch his doc
The sound of the fire crackling and the rain or sleet falling on the tarp, and Steve's calm voice, what could be more relaxing? I can almost taste the garlic.
Steve " tarps up but seems like the rain has stopped"
*Audible rain drops pounding the tarp* lol love it
Probably dripping from the tree's.
It typically stops raining when you put up a tarp
@@buildyourcomputer Camping Rule number #72 put up tarp to get out rain, causes rain to stop
@@buildyourcomputer definitely, and if you put the fly on your tent right away it won't rain but if you wait for the fly you will be scrambling to put it on while watching all your gear get soaked from a full on storm that wasn't forecasted.....🤷
The rain has stopped . . .under the tarp.
Man, I can’t tell you the last time I went camping and I don’t know how RUclips thought I needed Steve, but I can’t stop watching his videos.. this guy cracks me up and he isn’t even trying to be funny.. I have so many quotes from this guy it’s not even funny... thank you Steve for helping me through a shitty time in my life..also the fact he is so worried about being busted.. I watched him run and crawl through the woods running from a security guard that was half a mile away at a construction site who probably couldn’t care less Steve was in the woods.. man I was crying I was lol so hard.. I showed my buddy and he now can’t get enough Steve.. you are a true Canadian outlaw Steve..
I was in the same boat. But now I've gone camping a couple of times so far this year. Sometimes I just take my sleeping bag out and lay my sleep pad on a blue tarp and sleep outside. I'll lay on one half and cover up with the other half so the morning dew doesn't get me.
A reflective space blanket on top of your sleeping bag really helps. When I was traveling on foot cross country I used a heavy plastic bag from a new refrigerator as a bivy shelter/tent. There was plenty of room for my sleeping bag and pack inside and you can see through it so nobody can sneak up on ya.
@@ryancosta839 nota bad idea... I just need to hound the people at lowes until they get a new floor model in...
“True Canadian outlaw” lol
I love watching Steve in the evening ... No drama. Just a dude minding his business camping in spots I always thought that would be interesting to camp at
i love this man so much, he’s just living his best life, i have nothing but great things to say about him
Mr Yeet I totally agree
Everyone loves Steve. Just a really cool likeable dude.
davearonow for sure
The best safety advice that Steve has ever given us: "Don't look to me for safety advice".
The more you know 🎶
😂😂😂⛺️
Honesty is key
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I see some of his campfires and go 😳🤦
In a world full of problems, this is the best way to get away from it all. Just camp, eat, rest, and live life on your terms. Getting in touch with nature. Forgetting about ror worldly problems at the moment. Time goes by to quickly. Enjoy it while you can.
I like that he’s not putting on like he’s Daniel Boone himself. Just a dude in the woods getting some dirt time not a noob and not some radical hipster. Just a dude some beers killing some time and doing a little RUclips
frank datank or flaunt their million dollar gear setup that they all had gifted to them by the companies. Steve is the real deal.
C F couldn't agree more
@Dodge Yes I agree, I think it's just nice to see an experienced backpacker/bushcrafter on RUclips who hasn't gotten too big for their britches. As someone who has been in the outdoor world for many years in backpacking, whitewater kayaking, tele skiing, etc., I've grown tired of watching outdoor films that feel like a 2 hour self-congratulatory highlight reel. Inspirational folk music, egregious use of slow motion and all that. Sometimes you just want to watch a video that transports you out to the woods for a bit and Steve's videos are perfect for that.
@@ben-7403 Lol a far cry to call Steve a bushcrafter...He may be the complete opposite of a that
OgrAdaY right! He always makes jokes about it as well. “This is how I Bushcraft my fire” *blowtorch
Any day camping with Steve is better than no day!
Fragarbai well when you put it that way... I’d have to agree!
@@acidheadzzz i love it!!!
Crazy, stayed as rain in the city but just outside city limits it was sleet and snow.
Thanks steve. I needed a camping trip. Hope you are feeling 100 % soon. Be careful with getting sick and sleeping in the rain.
I love it, in gale force winds Steve says "the wind is a little aggressive today" in his upbeat way. Love this man!
Indomitable spirit 😊
I appreciate how Canadian this channel is
Cuz you seen someone camp in the woods like everybody can do all around the world.
Thats very american
@@upnorthviking823 Nah, the American part is recognizing what makes our neighbors up north so unique and wonderful. Clearly, you haven't a clue.
Steve's camping is helping me through a very trying time in my life , Thanks my friend .
Been there myself man, keep yo chin up and learn to embrace the suck.
This is what I've said to everybody you know why he's helped you cuz he makes you feel loved and he makes you feel like you're part of a family camping trip this is an awesome channel I just stumbled across it myself recently and I feel that between him cooking opening his little beer just talking to makes you feel loved it's a beautiful gift he has
I hope things are a little better for you now, hugs and warmth to you friend and I hope life is kinder to you in future. You’re awesome and everybody deserves a warm place to stay and a good meal, may you have as many of both as you need in life x
Yup... Went through my hard time in 2018. Although this year is pretty bad too. I love camping channels.
Steve's videos have also got me through some challenging times in my life as well. I always look forward to each video that he does.
The one thing I love about Steve is how he gets by in the simplest way possible, there is something so appealing about it.
He does not use all the fancy expensive equipment, he does not have amazing bushcraft skills, and the food he cooks is simple.
But that’s what makes it so special, there is the saying “all the gear and no idea” but with Steve it’s “Simple gear and some idea” there are not many out there like Steve, he’s cut from a different cloth.
Rene' Craig he’s like the uncle we never had... (even though i’m only slightly younger than him).
Zen Master Steve!
Yep, too many camping equivalent channels out there of all hat no cows, as they put it in the west.
I love the storm camping. The constant background audio of the rain on the tarp is very soothing. More hunkering storm camping! Cheers!
Love the sound of a soothing rain.
I've never seen someone sound so happy to be in a miserable situation. Either he is a super positive person or a great actor!
i rode out of a bad situation on top of a loaded coal car & it was freezing sleet, happiest night of my life
Part of the enjoyment for me is "bad" weather. I love rain on a tarp or tent and it's a wonderful excuse to just sit there and really enjoy the moment.
Awesome as always .
Tell beautiful wife hello.
Steve: *rocks happily* "It just doesn't get any better than this."
10/4, good buddy. 10/4.
Rubber ducky out. Haha
The sound of the rain on the tarp makes this so cozy
I like this guy don't know why, oh yeah because he's honest and real, this what youtube was intended for.
Rod Kukura I totally hear you! Have you ever watched Thecrazyrussianhacker? That man is real af and his wife is the exact same! Great people and honesty along with humbleness makes the world a happier place! It inspires others! And people like you and I applaud these types of people for offering us entertainment from their hearts!
Dibby Dey I will check it out.
Great video! Something very satisfying about watching this dude camping under a stinking tarp during the middle of a stinking winter storm and cooking a damn bowl of hearty soup (and not a mention of any damn virus, well done)
I’m going through one of the hardest nights of my life and I’m so happy I at least have Steve to sit here with me to crack open a step 2 with. You’re a true pal Steve please never stop doing what you do.
you wrote this 11 months ago.... I hope you are doing better now. Hope you're okay.
much love.
Steve is a pal for sure.
Hope you're hanging in there buddy
Hope you're doing alright, or even better than alright!
"Add two cloves of garlic" *dumps in about 10 cloves worth* This man knows the true correct amount of garlic.
LOL one man's 2 is another man's 10...
@VETTESET excellent food for your heart and veins tho.
Keeps Bigfoot away
Usually he says he needs a little of something but dumps in the whole thing so I'm just glad he didn't dump ALL of that garlic in haha. And I like garlic.
Might've been more than 10 lmao
I never remove the tag from my can openers either. They depreciate in value if you do.
Grant Lowe , ah that made me howl mate!
Mate
@ only if you're not the who purchased them.
That was next-level Monty-Python humor there...
This.
I don't know why but this is the video I keep coming back to again and again to fall asleep to. Must be the constant patter of rain on the tarp and Steve's soothing voice
"don't look to me for safety advice and... Don't do this."
Me: "NOW we're camping with Steve!"
flamethrower.
Seriously Steve is a great dude. There’s something to be said for guys that have perfectly good houses with clean dry beds and decide the second it starts raining to head out pop up a tarp and a hammock and sleep outdoors.
Hi Steve, I notice this video is a couple years old. I've been watching you for about a year now, and I know you've learned a lot. I just want to mention something I've learned in camping across the country. When you build your fire, find and place two flat-top rocks beside the fire, spaced apart by about 2/3 the width of your pan, with the spaced area in a channel facing the fire. Once you get some coals, scoop some of them between the rocks. Now you can place your pan on the rocks and cook. At the same time you can put more wood on your original fire without disturbing your cooking, which gives you more light and heat. The coals will cook your food without covering your pans with soot, so you'll have easier cleanup. If you can't find rocks, a couple wet semi-rotten logs will work as well. Your meal will be long cooked before they catch fire.
I like this idea it makes good sense.
There are people who spend 1000's of dollars on camping gear and eat cold soaked things. And then there's guys like Steve who actually know what's up.
A good tarp is always your best friend.
@@campingwithsteve That alternate blow-up bed pad looked super terrific.
@@campingwithsteve saved me this past weekend in Asheville, NC. Used the $3 Home Depot plastic paint drop cloth in a pinch.
The people who really know what they are doing, like Steve, don’t need a lot of stuff.
@@campingwithsteve I own a lot of tarps. It's great. I also shop at the Canadian Tire. We call it crappie tire round in the capital. I got some cheap cast iron cookware, and a ton of charcoal there. It's also where I get most of my fishing rods. Everything goes on sale at C. Tire T least once a year for 60 or 70% off. I wait for that. I like how simple you make it, yet the food is good.
I saw you use one of those tarps in another video a few months go, so the next time I went to see my fiancee (she lives in Ontario, I'm in New York) I got her to take me to Canadian Tire to get one. I love that place.
Talk about stealth camping. Even your sporting goods stores are camouflaged as tire shops!
It's weird. Canadian Tire sells a lot of the same stuff as the other big box store's. I think the difference is, the others focus on high profile, seasonal products. Canadian Tire always seems to have other stuff too! What ever you need - hardware, paint, sporting goods, appliances, housewares, woodstoves, A/C, and of course a complete auto center; with tires. Not to mention tarps in all sizes - to cover a bucket, or to cover your house.
@@ant-1382 Ohhhh. I always wondered why it was named that (I've never even been to Canada). 😊
I'm watching this in 2023, and it never gets old. Steve is such a great guy. I'd really like to sit and have a step2 with him. Bless you Steve, wherever you are 11/08/2023.
I suffer from insomnia but I found this Channel and I watch his shows every night before I go to sleep and pretend I'm on an adventure like him nice and comfy hunkered down and I fell asleep really fast👍😀
I do the same thing
try breathing in thru nose x 12
puts me to sleep everytime!
mouthbreathing is rubbish, the nose is where it's at, it's connected to the brain, specific types of nose breathing release the good chemicals
@@BotanyDegreePilkerton I agree 100% I practice nichiren Buddhism and I'm fond of the herb😂

Awesome!
I'm an old Canadian exploration geologist and I love your videos!
Keep up the good work!!!!
You are one of the few RUclipsrs that actually show a Storm and the process of going through it.. great content man, I've been a subscriber for a long time now
I just woke up, In my cheap hammock on my balcony cause my phone was buzzing with a notification that Steve posted a video. Moved inside to the couch, cracked a step two and posted this comment.

@Tito Lagarto look out for big 🦶
In North Carolina Big 🦶 is made out of plywood and painted black and located all over especially near little convenience gas stations. LOL
Steve’s videos when he’s camping in the rain are the most relaxing things. I have gone camping once in my life and hated it, these videos make me want to try again.
Steve is the nicest, most well mannered and level headed tough guys I've ever seen.
Think we all agreed ! Steve is a diamond! His videos are teaching me how to chill out! Respect Steve!
until you ask him to spot you for your 50 cent candy bar, the guy is cheaper than mcdonalds. jerk in disguise? i open the debate.
@@Roczen24 ? How do you figure?
@@acrossroads93 watch his videos. Aside from that, there is a reason camping is his hobby. Use your head.
@@Roczen24 I have absolutely no idea what your on about
I can't think of anything more comforting then being in a tent or under a tarp with a small fire and the sound of rain hitting the tent outside.
You crack me up Steve,,, you make such large amounts of food for just one guy! I love it
Right! Best sound ever. So relaxing knowing what is happening outside while you are Hunkered Down in your sleeping gear.
Only thing better would be if it was a tin roof
@@squidwardo7074 oh you are definitely. That is by far the best thing ever.
@@squidwardo7074 or even better, a nice small fire under the tin roof while the falls
dont ever sell out like rest of youtubers, Steve. The simplicity of your adventures is awesome! keep doing what you do! Much love from Oregon!
No matter what he does to survive, I'll support him. I won't give him conditions.
@@ROMVS Exactly! Wild expedition is the RUclips morality police. What a douche.
One additional thing to note about using cheap blue gardening tarps: the grommet pull out REALLY easily.
buy cheap = buy twice
@@BotanyDegreePilkerton no doubt
heavy duty tarps last longer
I worked at Harbor Freight and the blue tarps suck. Buy the silver ones they're a little better and they deflect sunlight.
@@dustincrozier5719 they both work for wrapping up a body if that's what your using it for.

Stay strong.

God bless you God is with you and God gives you smiles and your daughter will never leave you she is your Sunshine remember that
Hey, I know Im really late but I hope things are ok for you and that you are able to still take some time to relax and watch these videos for fun. I know its not the same but I lost my father when I was 12 and getting out in the woods and nature always made me feel closer to him after he passed. Anyway, god bless you and hang in there.
Oh thanks for reminding me of that Christmas I bought my man his coveted cast iron camping stew pot. He was so happy. Those cheap earrings he gave me didn’t last til Super Bowl Sunday. Good memories... all that matters 😉
I can't stop watching these videos. Just a single guy, outdoors, braving the elements, having a step 2. So simple - yet a lot of work and planning. Thank you Steve!
It’s nice that you made enough stew for yourself and the twenty guys on the camera crew.
Sasquatch is coming for dinner
Goes to store for some camping supplies.
"Is this what Steve would use?"
Walks to the clearance section.
"Better, much better. More step two money"
There's no appetite limit to how much fresh bread dipped in stew I can eat. Good choice.
Steve: "Of course, it seems like the rain has stopped now"

I love the sound of rain on that tarp. I think I would sleep like a baby listening to that rain.
What a life eh?
Imagine being able to go camping as a side husle and being supported by your lovely wife!
Idk of another channel that bring as much peace to me as this man does.
Gosh, the rain, the fire and the sound of the cooking would be a heavenly ASMR "video".
Oh yes, just imagining it I can feel my muscles relax for a bit.
Him just eating a hardy stew, in a forest, cold, just felt so cozy and such a homey feel.
Wow this channel is rucking amazing.
Apparently expecting a Bigfoot family over for dinner I noticed.
He's got the 5 gallon can of tomatoes.
they do remove their shoes
LMAO🤣🤣🤣
I noticed that too, lol!!
I always wonder does Steve actually eat all that food he cooks
I love the tag dangling from the can opener, what a legend you are
Steve, this reminds me of camping when I was younger (minus the Step 2). I'm approaching 60 but I have plans to get back out into nature. Until then, I will live vicariously thru you. Happy trails, mate!
When you started to cook and put the iron lid on the ground, i thought, he's not going to put it on the pot. And you did. A liitle bit of dirt and leaves makes the grub taste better. Sip. Sip. That was my step two, to ya. Cheers from NY.
adds roughage eh.

Sorry I missed this one and a few others , been going through some health issues but anyway that soup you made looked so yummy . Love the cheap hammock . The tarp you used was way better than those blue tarps . The sound of rain hitting it just about put me to sleep . Glad to hear you are feeling better .
Hope you're feeling better 👍
I like this channel.
It's nice to have the kind of stealth camping etc content I'm interested without backhanded shilling and SHTF fear mongering.
To think I've watched 4 of your videos now and not once have you told me that I'm going to die of exposure if I don't buy a specific knife...
Also, as an Englishman, just in case you do actually want to know out of curiosity: It's pronounced "Wuss-ter-sheer" sauce.
My preferred pronunciation is Wha-da-ya-call-it sauce.
Ummm you should probably stop watching prepping channels then.... there are hundreds of bushcraft and camping RUclipsrs that don't mention prepping in any way. Heck, TA Outdoors is one of them.
However, for pure, cozy camping, Steve is the best.
@@CurryFeatures Aye, I do enjoy a bit of TA.
Wuss-tur-sheer. Oh ok. So you say, English-man! 😉 German dialect says: Vor-chest-de-sheer
@@NobodyCaresALot Oooh cool! It's interesting to see how the people of different places pronounce it in their own uniquely incorrect way.
Dude popped up on my feed a couple days ago out of nowhere and I’m slowly getting inspired to random camp here and there.
took a couple of my buddies camping in Utah a few years ago on a 4th of July weekend. it started out terrible, too many people, to many kids, too crowded, etc. then it started raining. everyone packed up an left. we spent the night in my pop up camper listening to the rain, drinking beer, and playing cards. the next day 90% of the people were packed up and gone. it rained a couple of hours and then stopped and the sun came out. we pretty much had the place to ourselves after that. we fished and camped all weekend and had a great time. I still love camping in the rain. also here is another trick for you, take some matchlight charcoal with you, you can light it up and then stick the wood on top of it to start a fire. it works great for wet weather fire starting when all the wood is damp. and you can cook on it if you have too.
Nobody:
Steve: I'm still a little sick but let's go camping in a storm 🤣
In fairness, not wanting to sound rude, his nose did look a little red... or was that just me??

Lol exactly..love it..
The thing that appeals to me the most about videos like this is that there is not SINGLE person about - TOTAL isolation - and it's wonderful
Watching Steve's videos as an avid camper/backpacker I see a lot of things that you should never do and other things that should be done differently/better. Then I realize that Steve gets by just fine and does no harm, and his voice just makes me put all my criticism to the side and just enjoy his videos for what they are. Thanks Steve!
I know it’s been a long time but what kind of things do you mean? As not a camper Steve is the only source of camping knowledge o have lol and I’m just interested to see where he could be doing things differently
I'm also curious. I noticed that, since most sleeping bags can be opened from the bottom and top, you could feed the hammock through it so it wasn't crushed under you inside the hammock, theoretically keeping you warmer. That is, if it's cold enough to bother.
Oh, and more importantly, probably not cooking where you sleep lol
Does anyone find laying in a warm bed indoors watching Steve do his thing so relaxing? Sorry Steve!
QotD: “You don’t want to be cutting onions, sitting there crying in nature”. 😂
YES!! Steve cracks me up!!! 😂
The “Not So Confident Camper”...love this guy’s enthusiasm! Good times, my friend.
Steve is like Les Stroud on easy mode, and I love it
When a virus caught Steve, it ended up in the the hospital.
Except Steve is such a great guy, he drove it there and made sure its family knew.
xD
(Hey Steve, when you finally get around to traveling to the southwest US - especially Arizona, Utah - send me a PM. I know amazing places that most people who live here don't even know. You definitely don't want to spend all your time at popular tourist spots and miss some of the REALLY amazing stuff!!)
Even tho he’s camping in that storm I’m jealous
Anyone else?
Extremely
Damn skippy
Desperately trying to work out how to do this full time. Very jealous.
wanderlust. we all have it inside.
good clean Canadian water
I have seriously made his camp recipes for my family dinners before. They always taste great. The camp nachos have been the favorite so far. Keep it up Steve
You have no need to justify some step 2's while out in the woods! I don't know anyone else with an online beer fund. You deserve it Steve, we pay nothing for some great entertainment. Thanks for another good one.
"Moist"... Well done. Hilarious
Real shit. I don't know anyone with an online beer fund either. GO STEVE!
"Bear burrito" had me howling
Bearrito 😆
Looking like a burrito a bear would eat. Love that analogy because who the fuck knows what a burrito a bear would eat would look like lol.
Love the storm vids! Saving this one till tonight when I head to bed!
Awesome video, you are only the second person on you tube that we have watched who has mentioned and actually cleared the leaves around where you lit your fire and as Australians, it means allot to see this in videos. Our fire danger here, both during summer and winter can be extreme and when the total fire bans hit, we can't even use certain open flame stoves. If we do light anything, we have to clean 2 metres as a minimum from the edge of the fire and this is even using gas stoves. Thank you for a great channel. We enjoy watching all your videos.
