Well, here we are again. I found a great stealth camping spot with questionable legality. It was a Ducks Unlimited easement shelter for bird watching on a lonely country road. There were no signs prohibiting camping, so I figured I should camp there! Of course, there was the normal trouble, things not going to plan, snow began to fall. Overall, a very successful stealther.

Hi everyone! I was just parked under a cell tower using the last of my gigs before they reset tomorrow to get an early Thursday video up! Thanks again to all the awesome subs, folks who choose to donate, and even the trolls :) I'm just so happy to have this up and be able to share it with the world. Love from some random place in the Canadian prairies!
Hey Steve , always awesome content ! Thanks for the uploads 👍💯
What up Steve! Im just a casual viewer but I really enjoy your adventures when I see them! Keep it up bud!
Keep em comin Steve, I love Thursdays lol
Get one or two more snowy winter ones in before springs finally here!!!
Got a little more for the step 2 channel?
"I don't wanna be clickbaitey or hype things up too much but I think there's a chance we could see some migratory waterfowl in here." This is the clickbait I STRIVE to see.
#Truth #Agreed 👏✌❤🇨🇦🙏🏽 TRUELY Canadian clickbait🤣🍻
That also had me chuckling. Too funny!
His humor is dry. I love it 😂
When I know there’s a chance I could see some migratory waterfowl, I’m there.
If lucky, maybe a large hairy beaver sighting!!!
Dearest Steve,
Our 27 year old son was a huge fan of yours. He unexpectedly passed away a week ago, but he lived for nature. His favourite was his own particular version of stealth camping in the National Forests, (California, Montana, Colorado, Texas, etc,...as well as numerous times in Canada) Sometimes that included a car, and other times it meant backpacking to the site for a more serious commune with nature. He loved it. It was where he was happiest! Thank you for helping others to dream big and realize all the beauty there is in nature. Brightest blessings to you and Jess always! 🙏❣🙏❣
Sorry for your loss!
💙
@@flyingpigfarm1 Thank you! 🙏❣🙏
@@mirandamom1346 🙏❣🙏❣
I'm so sorry to hear about your young son.
Officer: "Sir what are you doing here?"
*Steve in a Shack cooking food at midnight*
Steve: "oh just watching the birds!"
😂 😂 😂 👍🏼
"The snow goose only appears before dawn, officer."
[Does Steve bring night vision goggles...]
Is there a law against using my camping gear to keep warm whilst watching birds in the dark. Haha
I think the proper response would be "What are *_you_* doing here?"
"Those are bats sir."
"You're watching birds at night?" "Yes sir, I'm looking for snipe."
He's watching Owls 😅🤣😂
pretending to watch birds so you can sleep outside and drink beer. I was entertained
Me too, Steve is amazing
I have a friend who pretends to watch birds. He is actually a dedicated camper, Rail Fan, 4-Wheeler and all around adventurer. He has no need for beer to sleep outside and be entertained.
Welcome
too good
Just waiting on the migratory water fowl
I'm convinced he does this just so he can drink beer in peace. God bless Canada.
I'm half convinced of some weird pornhub shit.
@@TwoAcresandaMule What exactly?
He is a really good honest guy who is just sharing his adventures with people that are interested in watching. I think he is refreshing and fun to watch!
i know i do whe the urge hits me!!
Thats pretty much how it works in Canada
Steve, many of your random comments are borderline-legendary.
Perfectly said 💯💯 oh so true👍
I know, right?! So many things he says I'm thinking to myself, "that would be great on one of the t-shirts!!" 😀
I thought he was Dave Attel's cousin or something when I first came acrossed his channel
When your wife makes you sleep on the couch but the couch is a ducks unlimited conservation area shelter by the side of the highway:
🤣🤣
If only One could get so LUCKY 🤣🤞🍀
I bet their marriage is rock solid
I think Steve is the only married guy in the world whose wife doesn't dare say "sleep on the couch!" Why? She knows he'll interpret that as "go camp outside!" 😁😂

Once you watch a Steve Wallis video the algorithm gives you more Steve Wallis videos, because there's nobody else like him.
``the outdoor gear review`` guy did one.
What a Joke that was !
I unsubscribed, he likes hearing himself speak.
Kent Survival and Simon A Bloke in the Woods are two channels I enjoy.
Mav is also an outdoors channel i like him too but steve is the king
There's literally thousands of people that do the same thing n film it kent is one of them obv mentioned below. But there are so many people that do this.
Sorry but the king of Stealth camping is Vagrant Holiday. It's hard to compare him to Steve because the content is different but still has certain similarities.
Steve Wallis... Spends a winter night in the Ducks Unlimited shelter so you don't have to. The hero we never knew we needed.
Love Steve's delivery "they're not really interesting. Well I guess they're interesting.....nature's majesty" 😂😂😂
Staying overnight in that roadside motel seemed like enough of a challenge.
that's actually luxury, off camera steve carefully explained to beautiful wife not to get too comfortable and start expecting more
Bates Motel
@@MikeyBee- more like the Roach Motel! Lol
@Cynthia Jendlebee No. What is it?
@@Mr_Rob_otto Dan Bell and his crew go around to some of the filthiest motels and do a thorough inspection of a few rooms. Seeing what unpleasant things they dig up... needles, bedbugs, fluid stains.
They actually got a motel in Detroit shut down after exposing the abhorrent conditions. And a massive bedbug colony.
Some real good camaraderie and humor, Rick Serra especially
every time I watch Steve's videos its like adult version of building a fort
Like when we were kids!!! LoL!!! Just saying!!!
Perfect description
Gotta give Steve credit , what he packs in , he packs out. Respect for the place he camps
I wonder if Steve lies in his sleeping bag when the camera isn't rolling and thinks wtf am I doing.
This made me laugh pretty hard, thanks
I often think wtf am I doing living in my tiny shed in a forest in Australia. But then I remember I don't have any other options. It's better than living on the street.
@@dougwhiley4028that would be great mate! Hope you are doing well in your cabin. Top stuff. Cheers
*Sees Canadian geese*
"I have a long history with these things"
Sounds like storytime on the step 2 channel. 😆
Noisy , feces , never happy geese.
As I said earlier, could've been a thing where the geese stole his step 2 stash & flew off to party?? Lol
I'm guessing they may have attempted an ambushed on him somewhere. They do respond quickly to a flailing hockey stick though.
I live in the Edmonton, and any time I go out in the bush, I have an extra good look around before I go for a pee, because Steve could be anywhere
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's it!! "It's like the PBS of TH-cam"
THAT'S why I love this channel so much! Not only is it funded by contributions by viewers like me, the content gives me that same relaxing entertainment PBS does.
I notice the forlorn slightly sad look as Beautiful Wife leaves. And the big smile and little jump for joy as she arrives!! ❤️
Right? He's adorable 🥰
Crazee neighbour should have showed up in middle of the night in a duck costume 😆
Hahaha just to do the crazy wave into the camera and then scoot back off again lol 😆
Ha ha ha ! you just made my day!!!
"Steve... Steve... wake up. Two smalls is bigger than big. Goodnight."
He`s not much of a friend,
if he can`t scare the crap out of Steve

@@jackmehoff2961 😆😆😆 jack mehoff aka chris farley Black Sheep
The real upside of retirement: an early post from Steve, a hot cup of coffee and a nap to soon follow. A great video. Thanks.
@C J Probably closer to the truth than I like to admit. That being said, “keep charging”.
Haha I'm 28 and needing naps
Steve is one of a kind we need more people like him in this world
how do you know? he's a millionaire from posting a video or less a week and he's still collecting donations from people. how dod you know hes one of a kind. hes a smart business man while he acts so poor people give to him but i wouldn't call him one of a kind and needing more.
@@TaraGrace-le3jxat no point does he act poor, it's definitely the video's watched, where he gains(on only fully watched advertising), but if someone chooses to send 10 or 20, that's up to them!
WHAT'S YOUR POINT??
@@GoldVP... not true, if you have over a million followers, you make money besides advertising. He is making money on all angles. Which is great for him but I see it as a smart business man, not someone that is just kind. He is tricky how he stealth camps. Just as tricky how he brings in money. This is capitalism at its finest.
dont underestimate his business sense.
@@TaraGrace-le3jx clearly you dont go back pack camping much, how tf you suppose to look rich if you carry a backpack full of sleeping bags and cookware in all your videos? dense mfer.
@@GoldVP... Haven't we all lived in our car before? LOL! He once mentioned......"in my 20's" I once asked my wife if we could go camping and she just said "but I try so hard not to" Sometimes life deals us a certain set of circumstances which shapes us for life. I think Steve is the culmination of all that.
Their are so many things I take a double take on now. The welcome sign into our town, every round about I ever see for now on, even the innocent road culvert holds my attention for a brief instance. He does it for the pure enjoyment...I am so jealous!!
I knew you were a fan of “the office”, which is awesome. The funny thing is, people rewatch the office because it makes them feel better and calms them down. I rewatch your episodes for the same reason ❤️ stay strong buddy, we all love ya.
"Using what I found.... in the grocery store" Might be the most Camping with Steve thing you have ever said :P love it!
The dunder mifflin shirt is underrated. 🤙
Lol. Have you watched the ORIGINAL SERIES?
What is the dunder mifflin if you don’t mind me asking?

Every time I watch a Steve video , which is usually in bed right before sleep, Steve cooks.
And I get hungry watching him, Steve your really an good off grid cook !
Hey Steve, My brother and I sincerely want to thank you for the content you put out. You've inspired us to get back into the outdoors, taught us a thing or two about starting fires, and how to keep bears away from ones campsite, and I could keep going . One probably wouldn't think that some of those lessons are high on the priorities chart, however it's the small ones that mean even more, you take the time to explain why you do things a certain way and the pros and cons, really line it out and give a good analysis. our old man wasn't around to take us out for this kind of stuff as youngins, it was always something we wanted to do.Without going too much into detail in the comments, I really want to emphasize the amount of respect you have on your name in so many people's lives. We have a campsite reserved for a 5 day getaway at a campsite out of town this week!
Cheers again Steve, hunker down !

Many wives watching this are probably getting ideas of dropping their husbands off on the side of the road. 😂
Meanwhile, Steve's wife is driving around town begging the locals to tell her where her husband is! LOL...
Rofl
Hahaha... See Steve... you're giving the better half Ideas
It’s why i have never shown her steve videos
@@jimmynoname4089 🤣🤣🤣
Steve is not like many youtubers out there. How he talks to the camera reminds me of some normal guy that lives a few houses down.
Love the content.
Like an outdoors Mr. Rogers
Steve, I went into hospital at the end of October for a minor procedure and it all went wrong. Still recovering today and not going well. Your videos are very important as they keep me vicariously outdoors. ESPECIALLY while in the hospital for three weeks during covid, they would not even let me outside until the day before I was released.
I hope you have a speedy recovery!!

There were so many hilarious things Steve said in this video but I think those were my favorite!
That was the remark that brought me to the comments :)
How bout "ahh, that is a refreshing north wind."
I wonder how many scary stories steve has caused with his sudden turning off of lights or disappearing into bushes trying to stay hidden?
Sunsets & a few step 2's yeah I could see some people mistake Steve as a Bigfoot.
Stevesquatch sighting! Did anyone capture a blurry photo off in the distance?
There are other youtube channels dedicated to lights in the woods.😂
"It's another sighting of Ghost Hobo!" LOL "You think you see his grizzled face with the beady eyes. But if you get too close, he vanishes like the will-o-the-wisp!"
This channel just is its own vibe nobody can quite do it like steve man. Hope you are all well cooking up a good meal
You can tell a guy loves a gal when he can't take his eyes off her.
Even if it's just her riding away in the distance to pick him up in the morning.
However!!!!!!!! CANADIAN TIRE, PAY THIS MAN A PAYCHECK FOR AS MANY TIMES AS HE HAS PROMOTED YOU! Just sayin.
They should contribute to the beer fund.
@@charliesmith643 For real though, this level of advertising would cost them a lot...
Things going wrong in the tire department? If only there was a canadian based tire dealership that also stocked various goods of all kinds
It would be great but oh my, what would they call it?
He's Canadian tired thinking of something, I'm sure....
just remember yer mask.. don't wanna get choked out for having a medical issue...
Ha!!!! Not in that village
He's a Mr. Home Hardware, Mr. Canadian Tire..... kudos to you. Try stealth camping on an iceberg out here off Newfoundland
Felt for you Steve when that snow started blowing in. Thanks for pushing through it for us!
Steve: "It looks like that busload of axe-wielder murderers is heading straight for me...which is no problem because I've got a couple of sleeping bags and a tarp."
It's all Steve ever needs.
That and bear spray.
So unique. It’s kinda a combination of bushcraft, homelessness and Bart Simpson!?
I don’t get the Bart Simpson but I get the bart Simpson
Absolutely no need to apologize about sounding grumpy on the beer donation appreciation sir. Those who buy you beers (and occasionally gear) deeply appreciate you, beautiful wife for being so supportive, and your efforts to provide us with an evening of chill ass relaxation every Thursday. This channel is pure gold (flower gold if you will). Thanks Steve! HUNKER DOWN!
plot twist: his wife keeps dropping him off in the middle of nowhere to get rid of him but he always comes back
The littlest camping hobo.
LOL 😅😆
Lol this comment cracked me up haha so true
😂
@@Lord_Shal 😂😂😂
When the tarp came out, I started having flashbacks to the culvert.
I would of threw that tarp over those slats
Birds flying in from all over Canada to see Steve camping in a very unusual looking tree.
It’s 4:19 am here in Louisiana now and it looks like I’ll be stealth sleeping at work all day
2:53 am n california, I'll be stealth camping in the hospital. Haha 🤣
In 4hours from now
10:13 here in Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪
6:15 Am
In MI
8.32pm here in Australia
Same here. Stealth watching at work now! 7:13 in MI
Lots of stealth camping vids out there these days but nothing will ever beat Steve Wallis. The one and only, the OG, I will never cheat, I am Loyal. Being a good person goes a LONG WAY these days. Lots of men want to be you Steve, you are the best!
Oh my god this is so enjoyable to watch, also I love how you got no music playing in the backround its pure relax
It's the good kind of asmr. Not the ones I hate. Like whispering or licking. Those sounds irritate me
3 new videos from Steve all within the space of 2 days, this is too good!
Ps. congratulations on 500k!
“ doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect , everything taste good in nature “ ultimate Bob Ross quote
I love how much Steve loves his wife.
So much he keep running away to camp without her🤣
The only time when a two dollar roll of plastic and a staple gun would be included in the camping checkoff list. Awesome as always.
I love the fact you have so many followers. Anyone watching your show, you just know, a part of them has a little Steve personality in them. The world needs more people like Steve. Shout out from BC Canada 🇨🇦
"It's always a good night when you live through the night" is amazing.
No one talks about the meals this dude cooks. They all look so good
Watch it for the meals!
I enjoy these videos so much. Steve always finds the wackiest places to hunker down.
10:04 "You only live once... double slice." I understand this person.
As do I haha...
these stealth ones always make me nervous. Even though realistically the worst that will happen is someone asks you politely to go home. But then you could probably bribe them with a step 2
I camped all over Canada and never bother to do it with stealth. I even camped in someone yard once on a small island off of Vancouver island. They came to our tent with breakfast in the morning. The only place I had to be stealthy was in Jasper. Where I guess they had a problem with too many vagabond and it was not a good image for the tourist.
I worry about not the police but a drugged out person wanting to steal or harm Steve.... Love his videos for sure.
@@erictremblay6867 without asking or..
@@matf4505 No we did not ask, it was a small wooded area by the sea at the end of their yard. It was not really clear that it was their property. Thinking about it now it was probably a zone where it was not legal for them to clear out.
Edit: Note that this was 25 years ago and the attitude might have changed. But at the time my experience was that you could ask anyone west of Toronto to camp in their yard and they would have welcomed you with open arms.
Nobody tells steve to go home. Nobody. End of story
One thing I've noticed after being around many different Canadians? They love their cheeseburgers just as much as Americans lol! Keep up the awesome work steve!
Only thing better then a cheeseburger is a bacon cheeseburger 🤣🍔
I honestly don't know what it is, but I find your videos so relaxing. I'm 26/F/Australia and live in my van full time. Nothing even happens in your videos but I cant stop watching. Thank you!
The suspense is what gets me... the suspense of watching
I love the narration, Steve comes across really well and he's interesting, sometimes very witty. For someone who does his thing alone I feel I'm there with him. I can feel the excitement in doing what he does. Never change Steve.
Love your videos! I’m a 73 year old grama my hubby says what are you doing? I’m watching camping with Steve & he laughs & goes about his business. Lol what does he know 🤔your the best thing on utube❤️
Your wife needs to start making videos of what she's doing while you are camping LOL
🤣 she really does
Would actually be hilarious
she won't even appear in any of his videos highly doubt she'll make any of her own
Perhaps Steve really wouldn't want to know. 🤣
And have BW film you when she finds you stealth camping in your bathroom..
You’re truly one of a kind, I love it! Your joy in every video, the entertainment you bring, and the places you find always make my day 🙂 I’m glad I found you
"They've even got a ledger to tell you whats what. None of them look very interesting".
I love the brutal honesty, its hilarious.

HaHa he's had a history with them!
I assume you mean Indiana Jones
@@ebhainom1 What are you talking about? It definitely says Indiana - guy who didn’t edit the comment.
Geese, why does it have to be Geese?
my wife left me on the side of the road once, except she didn't come back to pick me up
Underrated comment!
😅🤣😂
My ex did the same once at a mall parking lot while we were married
Trust me, you’re better off.
Yes those things can be nastier than Canadian geese, wives that is..
I asked my hubby if he knew what today was, and he said "Thursday!" with a big smile! It's Steve night! He even made us drinks so we could toast with our Step 2s. Great video- glad you didn't get hypothermia! :)
Steve after catching a trespassing charge.
"Hey guys, today we will be stealth camping in this jail cell."
You know what Mr. Wallis?
I do believe you’re the new Mr. Rodgers, you’re just visiting everyone’s neighborhood for a night.
Good guy
And no creepy land of make believe
I don't know why, but I imagine that one day the Mounties will find Steve, but in a plot twist, will give him a commendation for keeping the areas cleaner than he found them.
A bring him a sixer of step twos!
Other channels bitch about TH-cam algorithms and policies and plots to drive down channels. Steve's like, "There's a glitch in the Matrix causing unsubscribing to occur. No biggie.🤷♂️" Steve is the man.
Amazing that you where able to stealth camp in such an open terrain and open shelter. A one man tent (in a darker color) may have fit in that bird observatory. Interesting that you where able to use a tarp to get a wind block. Enough to keep from freezing in that snowy night. The morning was just beautiful to behold.
thank God something good to watch on TH-cam
Congrats on 500k! Way to go Steve !
Really needed this today, tons of tornado warnings set out these past couple hours so it’s nice to watch a peaceful video
Congrats on passing 500k subscribers, Steve! I've been watching the "PBS of TH-cam" for the past year and it's been such a highlight of every Thursday.
Am I the only one who likes the video before it even starts? Lol
I don't even hesitate, click first then watch.👍
BIG CLICKEROO FROM MY END BEFORE WATCHING TOO!
Always click the like button, it helps the algorithm for his videos. I would love to see him famous, one day.
@@cathie9614 he is famous 😂 I hold Steve up there with Kanye West.
Congratulations on the 505K subs!!! I keep losing the notifications, but since I am 69 and live vicariously through your antics, I check to make sure I don’t miss any of your stealthy camping trips.
Hey Steve!!
So I just watched your Boondocking movie. It's like 2 different people. I'm so glad you found the adventure of love to change the direction your life was going. I also learned you have a ton of videos that I have yet to see. Until the next time Hunker Down!!
Thanks!!
I like to not see Steve’s videos for 3 4 weeks so then I can binge watch them all at once 🤗
(In mybest movie trailer voice)

Survival.

Nice to see the video early today!
I’m stealth watching at work haha.
Shshhhh!
Gonna watch the first part here at the office. Every Thursday, I wait for your video, go to the bathroom and watch 10-15 minutes at work. Yeah my life ducking sucks.
i'm glad i'm not the only one.
Steve, you go through hell for our entertainment. Thank you!
This reminds me of a military range facility. A very basic structure to load live ammo and observe trainees while they qualify to fire their weapons. I remember many structures similar to this when I served in the military.
I think just about anyone who has spent at least 15 mins outside has a “history” with Canada Geese. Damn them things are evil.
You don’t want to be parked in your driveway or look up when they fly over and land in field next to you.
I was attacked in High School while in the middle of a crew race on the Schuylkill River.
The ones where I grew up were really nice and would walk up to be pet.
No, I love Canada Geese. They're amazing!
Sh*t Machines
You’re my fiancé and I’s favorite Canadian. Thank you for making these videos. They’re so relaxing. I think they make me feel like everything is going to be okay.
Sincerely- America
We love your videos. Thursday needs to come twice a week.
My niece said to remind you...God loves you and has plans for you.
That huge burger patty barely fit in the pan(and the 5 pounds of mushrooms as a burger topping ) Classic Steve
Nothing beats his "Little sandwich" though, that thing was big enough to feed a family.
Tundra swans love the rice pads in the Sacramento valley on their migration route...there's so many of 'em, makes it look like snow covering the fields.
I've been watching bushcraft videos, survival, gear review and more on camping. Camping with Steve is the most realistic to what camping is to me and how I would pack. I haven't done stealth camping in a roundabout yet, but that's because Steve literally showed us what we were missing 😎😅
" 5 o'clock somewhere."..Buffet is smiling)
Oh my this is a late night/early morning upload Steve caught me off guard. Great video!
"Gettin dark quick....definitely gotta cheese this burg!" That was epic, Steve, epic!!
Look forward to seeing what is next every Thursday. Don’t care if you are in the badlands, in a ditch or in your backyard. Thanks for sharing content on a regular basis. Watch 99% of your videos and proud owner of Hunker Down merch.
"Honey, do you see something in the back yard?"
"Oh, yeah that's just Steve hiding under a tree with some camo netting cooking up a near gourmet-level meal on a tiny propane tank. It's fine. He won't bother anyone and will be gone by the morning."
Refreshing north wind.
Stealth takes a backseat to
Hypothermia.🌚
Just as he said it i came across your post. Just had to chuckle
4am, dog needs letting out. Oh Steve’s posted, but I’ve only got 2 hours of sleep left!?!
Ok.
Proceeds to press play.
Who needs sleep lol?
Good call 👍
Tell us your history with the geese, Steve. Learning and chuckling constantly with you. These videos area a serene experience, thank you for your dedication and risk of death! - from the high desert of eastern Oregon ~Anna
At 18:55 "It is a refreshing north wind..." Sort of sums up the entire experience. I needed a good laugh....
It's funny that you mentioned driving around looking at things as stealth camp site, since I've watched your channel I do the same thing I just don't have the time to do it. That is why I look forward to your video so much
