If you REALLY want to be stealthy, you don't cook hot food. Can of spam, shnieders pepperetts, can of beans, crackers, V8. All that extra weight in gear. Especially when its bitch hot and you don't need the calories. More room for step 2. Also jeans aren't a good choice for outdoor activities.
3:43 The dog saw him and smelled him. The dog would normally bark at someone hiding in the bushes but he admired Steve's stealth technique a little too much to give up his position. Not barking was the dog's way of tipping his hat to Steve.
When your dog randomly runs off in the woods to investigate something and you wonder where it goes and what it’s so interested in, apparently it’s a Steve stealth camping ⛺️ 🤣
yeah just don't be lazy it's not that hard just try harder🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 also get a pump that suck as well as blows then you can empty the air our of it so you can get it back into the original package cause air prevents that big time
one of my favourite parts of these videos, apart from watching Steve hide from people like a nervous little kid, is seeing what gourmet meals he is going to prepare this time.
I think it’s just really interesting to watch someone do something so unusual, in a very genuine and natural way (no crazy edits or “loudness” just a nice dude and a camera).
@@JasonandaCamera Fr. Part of it so appealing, bc he's actually genuine. And caring. But Doesn't care about content or making money off of it. Simply wants to share his adventures with us! Like you said no crazy editing, intro, thumbnails, no crazy endorsements in the middle of the video(would be ok if he started). But channels like his are simply not found on TH-cam or the internet anymore
I feel the same. I am thinking along the lines of "this isn't super entertaining but something about Steve's videos is incredibly fascinating and peaceful to me". I never would have thought about watching stealth camping videos but here I am. Maybe it's the connection to Steve as he is genuinely just talking to his audience without some motive
did Steve get shot in the throat a while ago?? that looks like an old war wound there on the right side of his neck check it at time index 1:45 that's a pretty big chunk taken out of his neck there
@@combatkarl965 are they war wounds did somebody hurt him or try to kill him poor guy what kind of monster would do that to him he's nice a bit silly, but I like that it makes his videos entertaining
@@raven4k998 I don't think they are war wounds, unless he did a tour of combat that he hasn't disclosed. He didn't have them when he started his channel.
Haha! That was funny. The part at the beginning with the people walking their dog. Steve was hiding behind the camo tarp with his head sticking out and shiny very reflective sunglasses in his hair. I lost it there.😆
@Liberty over everything not when the branch has been broken. Breaking it and leaving it attached did nothing for the tree. Better to remove it completely.
@Jack Gull Holy cow I wouldn't be surprised if Steve makes that much or more. I follow another stealth camper couple who made over a $1000 USD one month but they only have about 5k subs. With more than 100x that number, Steve easily clear $10k/month.
@26:42 There is nothing more comforting than to know that somewhere some place on this planet Steve is settling in his sleeping bag for his stealth camping overnight beauty sleep.
How dare those people legally use the land while Steve is trying to illegally camp there! Criminals like Steve deserve more rights than law abiding citizens like you and me!
Or 420 in peace as I am sober from alcohol :) not a drop since March 3 2015 But oh boy he sure does make the grass look greener on the other side, ayel!
Well, if it WAS the woods talking, it's time to wonder if you're in a modern day Ent enclosure & the only way they can communicate is through ad slogans.. "Are you tired of those pesky mosquitoes?? Do no see ums make your life less fun?? Then try THERMACELL butane powered bug be gone.."
Steve you genuinely seem like one of the kindest human beings I’ve ever seen. It’s been inspiring me to try and make changes in myself. Glad I found your channel I hope you’ve been doing better man ❤
It's incredible how one man with a camera, a beer and a camo cape can make so many people feel at home and at ease. We really owe Steve a big warm hug.
Honestly at this point, Canada should just give Steve a universal camping license to be able to camp wherever he wants (given certain obvious parameters of course) :)
Countries should sponsor him to camp in their country so he can go everywhere!!!!! Come to the USA! Do a camping tour of the USA that’s very awesome!!!! Lol
well your better safe there then messing with a beaver cause if they can move trees that big imagine what they can do to you if you pissed one off🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Geno2733 lol he could have easily just said he's filming for his youtube channel and talked it out and the cops would have let him go. Steve is just too paranoid for his own good.
I really love the idea of making bean, rice, and cheese burritos as a camp-fare dinner but the one thing EVERYONE doesn’t do is reheat and partially toast their tortilla. If you hold the tortilla towards the open flame of your camp stove or burner and lightly toast it on both sides it totally makes a monumental difference in the overall texture and taste of not only the tortilla but it makes them so much easier to fold into your classic burrito shape. Even when you’re not camping, I recommend to do that on your home stove top providing you have a gas stove. It makes a world of Difference. Once you start toasting your tortillas over an open flame you will never eat a cold or room temperature one again! You can achieve the same thing on a grill by placing it on a grill grate for several seconds on each side or until you get some light grill marks. You just want them to get a little color on both sides. Then again I’m a professional chef. Either way I highly recommend it to those who’ve never done that to try it. You won’t regret it. Cheers!
When he stumbles upon the dam it made me laugh that his first reaction was 'whoa these must be some giant beavers' Instead of 'hey maybe they're working together to bring these giant logs down' Lol don't ever change steve
Hello Steve! We're taking our Ford Transit Connect diy camper van named Wallis, after you, out for its first trip this weekend! It's been hard work getting it converted, but worth it! 😀 Looking forward to watching this video tomorrow (currently 11pm here in UK!)
When I was travelling Cali I would leave my car and backpack into all kinds of places, mostly Santa Cruz and San Fran. Your videos are totally bringing me back. Been battling some heavy depression lately, like a lot of us, and this reminds me of some of the happiest times of my life, and also reminds me I can easily go do random things anytime, from anywhere, So glad i stumbled on this today. Thank you.
Yep I know the feeling friend and his channel has been a blessing. Hang in there buddy, life will have its upside again. You have a friend in me anytime. I too understand about getting overwhelmed.
@@montyforster3370 thought i did already, will check on that, but highlighting "make sure you sub" kind of makes you look like a dick? Especially after the conversations being held from a year ago. Again, thought I was already subbed but for real, what business is it of yours to make sure of that? People are literally on here spilling their lives to strangers because they have no one and find one thing special. You are not wrong in saying to subscribe, but honestly, telling someone to "just do" anything while they are admitting the worst times in their own lives, kind of a shitty time no?
Dogs have much superior senses than we do, better motion detection, better hearing, and immensely better sense of smell, it's almost impossible to hide from a dog at that distance so there would be no question on whether or not that dog knew he was there, it did.
Good question about the beavers, Steve. I have seen beavers cut down trees upstream and float them down the river to their dam. Can’t say that’s exactly what happened there, but it’s one way they move surprisingly large logs. Clever critters… They really are nature’s landscape architects!
Omg Steve, the look on your face when you hear someone walking by is priceless!! I can't stop laughing, you look like you are a thief in the night, trying not to get caught! 😂 Lol I love 💕 your videos!!! ❤️👍😀
In vietnam, that “tent mosquito net” was what everyone sleep under. It works well, just has to make sure that you don’t lift it up too high and too long to get under. Basically making sure no mosquito get into the net with you.
I just love how he says that our areas may or may not be safe to do these things, depending on where we live, and to act accordingly. Feels like an international shoutout to like minded people around the world! Stealth camping is great fun, with a bivvy and a sleeping bag. Thanks for all the inspiration to try it!
I'm an ex SF man and I just enjoyed watching Steve so much as he is as close to stealth as a flash bang grenade 😂 great bloke 👍 a lot of fun..and he does rough it not taking the easy option 👍👍
Dude, you’re priceless. Had a hard time to stop laughing when you pulled apart the velcro bag and made that “I’m busted” face. 🤣🤣🤣 “Velcro is not stealthy.” Very true.
Same here. Ive seen a peanut stand, a rubber band and ive even seen a house fly but never a Canadian cooking Mexican food next to a Canadian beaver dam😊
Ever since I started watching your channel I think of you when I see a random wooded area off the freeway or simply anywhere...Steve might be camping back there all stealth.👍👍
Classic Steve, right down to the Mosquito Burrito, thanks for literally sweating bullets for our enjoyment. I can always count on you bro, I believe in Steve!
They say "Bigfoot" is the world's "hide & seek" champion. I'd say Steve is giving the old "Samsquantch" a pretty good run for his money, lol.... Cheers mate!
@@dubiesinjapan Don't forget Julian, Corey and Trevor. The more the merrier, but then i guess with that many people it would be kinda hard to be stealthy, lol......
I say... when you're out "exploring" the surrounding area of the stealth camp... use a ski pole style walking stick... really gives the hiker look..maybe add a belt-canteen
Oh Dude that would be so funny if folks did it and he caught it on audio! OK all you Canadian fans you need to just randomly holler this out any time you see a patch of trees or a small town sign that someone could sleep behind. Well not just the Canadians we ALL should be doing it. But They have a better chance as I don't think he's pulled off a stealth camp in the US or England or Egypt or ... (insert country here) But I could just see someone randomly shouting that into the trees in their given country as some random passer by stops dead in their tracks turns and hollers back HUNKER DOWN!
Love it! 2 block from my house, I love walking down there with my boys and looking at all the old campsite posts and signage. Cheers to another step two!
Always picking up after himself and others, too. If everyone was like Steve, then camping would be a lot more freer. This is a thing that can happen. Culture can be built around promoting and exercising positive behavior.
I don't think such people have been adequately called out. If they had any of their buddies say, "Hey, wtf, man?!" enough times, or flat out refuse to camp with them due to their littering behavior, then I think we could possibly see this sort of thing minimized. Social pressure can be a powerful thing. Sometimes that's a bad thing, and sometimes it can be positive.
@@generalmartok3990 To be honest, I don't think I'd have the courage to call out complete strangers---lot's of loose cannon types out there. I wouldn't make a very good Klingon.
I gotta say, I'm fuckn impressed with u Steve. I was the dumbass who commented a few years ago saying something like this guys just homeless....what a fool I was..u are honestly one of the few youtubers that didn't let the money get to his head.. I respect the hell out of u sir.. keep up the great work...
Theres probably some police out there who like, subscribe and enjoy his channel, Id say at worst they MIGHT stop for a chat and ask for his autograph :)
For those not in the know Steve's choice of "step two" is two Alberta stories in one can. Blindman Brewing is from Lacombe, Alberta and named after the Blindman River which is a tributary of the Red Deer River system in central Alberta. "Five of Diamonds" refers to the classic lure pattern from Len Thompson Lures which is also located in Lacombe, Alberta. This company has made 55 million fishing lures since they opened over 90 years ago in 1929. A Len Thompson spoon is a classic for a reason, a real workhorse piece of tackle for northern pike, trout and salmon. With an assortment of sizes and patterns of Len Thompson spoons and Panther Martin Spinners (made in Thornhill, Ontario) you can catch just about every fresh water fish in Canada.
To add to this, there is a giant five of diamonds lure as well as the Len Thompson trout pond in Lacombe to make sure you know it's the home of Len Thompson Lures!
I have to tease you, you said “you can catch just about every fresh water fish in Canada” so do just about all fresh water fish also visit Canada, and some get caught while there? If you have said: just about every KIND OF fresh fish, it wouldn’t have sounded like they all go there. Anyway, THANKS for answering the question about the meaning of the names, it’s all very interesting. I’ve only been able to visit Canada once, some years ago. Beautiful place! It’s definitely on my list of places to visit & spend much more time, when I finally get the chance! In one video Steve was collecting fresh clean stream water from a pipe: AMAZING! Someone carefully set that up & it was close to a road…Wow! There are some very good things in Canada, & lots of nice people!
@@thinkbeforyouvote And, he could've really smelled if the owners don't bathe him regularly..sorry! Ha ha ha! Goes along with that "I'm feeling" song -> 🎶🎶And I feel and I feel when the dogs begin to smell...🎶🎶
The dog did a cameo appearance. Next he will be singing autographs next😁. Maybe try to sell the leashes and collars. Marketing would be like "as seen on camping with Steve "
Dude, if that’s in Edmonton you could set up a blaze orange tent and the hikers/ runners/ cyclists wouldn’t look twice. There are so many people camping in the parks and river valley.
There's a huge park by my house in Colorado and during lockdown I really missed camping and backpacking. So I made a ring in the park of old tree branches and then wove grasses and weeds into the perimeter to create like a natural fence. I thought for sure it'd be discovered, but for 8 months I camped there along the river. I even left an old tent and chairs there. From the trail it was almost invisible. Finally a homeless man moved in and I told him it's his if he wanted, and he still lives there
No hiding from dogs when you are doing a mosquito fog, I suspect they can smell that. Sunset is prime walking time, Canada and places like norther Michigan or Wisconsin always cool down quickly once the sun sets.
Love joining your adventures and creative mind thoughts. Been so busy with work so I put the tent up out back in the woods and stayed 11 nights in a row so far. Would like to make my own camping adventures with my new go pro. So much work but it will slow down with winter coming. You motivate me much. And I watch your videos every night while glamping in my 8 person tent. Just ordered me a small wood stove that I'm super excited to get.
“They’ll all go back to their homes, watch TV, and I can get down to the business of making burritos in the woods.”

You literally pulled off great stealth when people are so close that a dog sniffs you but doesn’t even realize you’re there… major props bro.
The Dog was probably a fan. And was purposely ignoring Steve lol
Dogs have much superior senses than we do, better motion detection, better hearing, and immensely better sense of smell, it's almost impossible to hide from a dog at that distance so there would be no question on whether or not that dog knew he was there, it did.
That dog 100% looked at him
Good question about the beavers, Steve.
I have seen beavers cut down trees upstream and float them down the river to their dam. Can’t say that’s exactly what happened there, but it’s one way they move surprisingly large logs. Clever critters… They really are nature’s landscape architects!
Omg Steve, the look on your face when you hear someone walking by is priceless!! I can't stop laughing, you look like you are a thief in the night, trying not to get caught! 😂 Lol I love 💕 your videos!!! ❤️👍😀
Hears somebody off in the distance
Steve: 😳😨😯😦😧😲😮
When I’m trucking around North America and I see a patch of woods,I now wonder if Steve is stealth camping in there.
Same, I used to look for deer hunkering down, now I look for Steve. lol
* Correction, "Steves"
Most likely is 😂😂
In vietnam, that “tent mosquito net” was what everyone sleep under. It works well, just has to make sure that you don’t lift it up too high and too long to get under. Basically making sure no mosquito get into the net with you.
I just love how he says that our areas may or may not be safe to do these things, depending on where we live, and to act accordingly.
Feels like an international shoutout to like minded people around the world!
Stealth camping is great fun, with a bivvy and a sleeping bag. Thanks for all the inspiration to try it!
Steve impresses me the most by his ability to find his stealth camp in the dark. 👏👍 😄
I'm an ex SF man and I just enjoyed watching Steve so much as he is as close to stealth as a flash bang grenade 😂 great bloke 👍 a lot of fun..and he does rough it not taking the easy option 👍👍
Getting rained on in the woods…”This should be downright relaxing”. 😂. I love this channel.
Surprised he wore jeans.
So relaxing, Steve is absorbing the anxiety for me.. Thanks Steve. Great content for the crazy world we live in.
“Tastes just like store bought” Lmao! Now you’re cooking with Steve!
Steve hiding behind that camo netting is about as Hunker Down as it gets! That should be his new channel art!
The dogs face
"Its gonna come in one plop... Awwww, that looks rude." damn near killed me🤣
Dude, you’re priceless. Had a hard time to stop laughing when you pulled apart the velcro bag and made that “I’m busted” face. 🤣🤣🤣 “Velcro is not stealthy.” Very true.
I don't think it's suspicious for people to walk around talking into a recording device these days.
...he is definitely a 90's man ;)
I used to think, those people were paranoid schizophrenics, until I saw there equipment. (Ear buds etc.)
Yeah, you're right, but if their eyes dart back and forth suspiciously anyway ... they might be Steve.
When Steve is stealth camping 5 minutes away from your house lol.
Did he sneak past ya? Haha
Stealth camp on the stealth camper. Should join him
@@wessthemess117 haha he might have!
The most Canadian thing I've seen this week is Steve cooking burritos next to a beaver dam.
Same here. Ive seen a peanut stand, a rubber band and ive even seen a house fly but never a Canadian cooking Mexican food next to a Canadian beaver dam😊
And says it tastes just like store bought haha then says this is a lot of beans to eat lol
@@robertwilliams450 so, you're saying Steve was a little hard on the beaver last night.😏
I wonder if you can eat beaver?
@@alfredhatch3719 Well, you have to tenderize it before you can eat it.🥺
Ever since I started watching your channel I think of you when I see a random wooded area off the freeway or simply anywhere...Steve might be camping back there all stealth.👍👍
Classic Steve, right down to the Mosquito Burrito, thanks for literally sweating bullets for our enjoyment. I can always count on you bro, I believe in Steve!
“Where there’s more mosquitoes, there’s less people” spoken like a true introvert 😂
The dog knew it was Steve so he didn't say anything. Good doge knows what's up.
This is the way
I love it when he believes he'll b in trouble if hikers "catch" him camping
Some people will call the cops on you
There are Karen's and Kevin's out there that will call on anybody and anything. People love to get involved in others business til it bites them back.
They say "Bigfoot" is the world's "hide & seek" champion. I'd say Steve is giving the old "Samsquantch" a pretty good run for his money, lol.... Cheers mate!
If only Steve did a stealthy with Ricky and bubbles
@@dubiesinjapan Don't forget Julian, Corey and Trevor. The more the merrier, but then i guess with that many people it would be kinda hard to be stealthy, lol......
@@rathgarredbeard4808 you’re right , someone’ gotta bring smokes lol
Trevor corry smokes! Let's go! @@dubiesinjapan
I say... when you're out "exploring" the surrounding area of the stealth camp... use a ski pole style walking stick... really gives the hiker look..maybe add a belt-canteen
The people hiking make me think a good strategy while close to inhabited areas would be to constantly say "I know you are there, Steve"
Oh Dude that would be so funny if folks did it and he caught it on audio! OK all you Canadian fans you need to just randomly holler this out any time you see a patch of trees or a small town sign that someone could sleep behind. Well not just the Canadians we ALL should be doing it. But They have a better chance as I don't think he's pulled off a stealth camp in the US or England or Egypt or ... (insert country here) But I could just see someone randomly shouting that into the trees in their given country as some random passer by stops dead in their tracks turns and hollers back HUNKER DOWN!
Some hide in bushes peeping Tom dude also named "Steve" is like "oh dang it my gigs up"
@@DeathclawJedi i'm on it bro!
How bout a sign "NOT A VAGRANT" with his YT channel name
I keep seeing you over n over lol. Enjoy your videos. 🦄
the part with the dog could totally be used in a number of video edits... the amazing ambience and feeling it provides is so unmatched
Love it! 2 block from my house, I love walking down there with my boys and looking at all the old campsite posts and signage. Cheers to another step two!
I can get down to business making burritos in the woods.
Put that on a t shirt 🤣
We would be happy to print it! Jhebel@hapadesigns.com - www.hapadesigns.com
Always picking up after himself and others, too. If everyone was like Steve, then camping would be a lot more freer. This is a thing that can happen. Culture can be built around promoting and exercising positive behavior.
Plenty of people pack it in pack it out, it is the others that wreck it for everyone sadly.
I don't think such people have been adequately called out. If they had any of their buddies say, "Hey, wtf, man?!" enough times, or flat out refuse to camp with them due to their littering behavior, then I think we could possibly see this sort of thing minimized.
Social pressure can be a powerful thing. Sometimes that's a bad thing, and sometimes it can be positive.
I think it’s safe to say that campers are the most aware people about our environment, they probably don’t need rules because they care about it
@@lukeferguson9236 I have done this a few times to strangers and it can get dicey. People get shot for less here in the States.
@@generalmartok3990 To be honest, I don't think I'd have the courage to call out complete strangers---lot's of loose cannon types out there. I wouldn't make a very good Klingon.
I gotta say, I'm fuckn impressed with u Steve. I was the dumbass who commented a few years ago saying something like this guys just homeless....what a fool I was..u are honestly one of the few youtubers that didn't let the money get to his head.. I respect the hell out of u sir.. keep up the great work...
That dog didn't even alert them. This was a good one
Have to wonder if the local PD has a pool on who catches Steve stealth camping first.
They likely wouldn’t care. It’s one night. At most you’d likely just be told to leave either right away or first thing in the morning.
@@AveragePicker agree
There's lot's of homeless camps in the Edmonton river valley. A neat video would be, Steve camps in a river valley homeless camp.
Theres probably some police out there who like, subscribe and enjoy his channel, Id say at worst they MIGHT stop for a chat and ask for his autograph :)
@@marcusmckenzie9528 Yes. One actually commented that he's been a cop for 19 years, and the worst he'd do is say ' sorry buddy, you have to leave'
Doesn’t him cooking beans by the creek remind anyone of, Dennis the Menace?🤣
Hahaha, OMG, yes. I love it! 😂
"Fire's getting puny!"
For those not in the know Steve's choice of "step two" is two Alberta stories in one can.
Blindman Brewing is from Lacombe, Alberta and named after the Blindman River which is a tributary of the Red Deer River system in central Alberta.
"Five of Diamonds" refers to the classic lure pattern from Len Thompson Lures which is also located in Lacombe, Alberta. This company has made 55 million fishing lures since they opened over 90 years ago in 1929. A Len Thompson spoon is a classic for a reason, a real workhorse piece of tackle for northern pike, trout and salmon.
With an assortment of sizes and patterns of Len Thompson spoons and Panther Martin Spinners (made in Thornhill, Ontario) you can catch just about every fresh water fish in Canada.
Blindman Brewing makes fantastic beer.
To add to this, there is a giant five of diamonds lure as well as the Len Thompson trout pond in Lacombe to make sure you know it's the home of Len Thompson Lures!
I have to tease you, you said “you can catch just about every fresh water fish in Canada” so do just about all fresh water fish also visit Canada, and some get caught while there? If you have said: just about every KIND OF fresh fish, it wouldn’t have sounded like they all go there.
Anyway, THANKS for answering the question about the meaning of the names, it’s all very interesting. I’ve only been able to visit Canada once, some years ago. Beautiful place! It’s definitely on my list of places to visit & spend much more time, when I finally get the chance! In one video Steve was collecting fresh clean stream water from a pipe: AMAZING! Someone carefully set that up & it was close to a road…Wow! There are some very good things in Canada, & lots of nice people!
Holy shit I have been fishing with them my whole life (from Olds), I had no idea the history! Thank you.
Steve is quickly becoming a legendary folk hero.
What a good dog, he didn't snitch on you.
Almost got skunked, great stealth skills.
That dog could smell...
@@thinkbeforyouvote
And, he could've really smelled if the owners don't bathe him regularly..sorry! Ha ha ha!
Goes along with that "I'm feeling" song ->
🎶🎶And I feel and I feel when the dogs begin to smell...🎶🎶
B C SURVIVOR,,
great reply.
Dude, you are living life to the fullest! This channel is fun and inspiring, and a healthy diversion from daily stress. Stay strong, brother!
The dog said That’s steve…. Better go home and turn on TH-cam … it’s going to be epic !
looool
The dog did a cameo appearance. Next he will be singing autographs next😁. Maybe try to sell the leashes and collars. Marketing would be like "as seen on camping with Steve "
T B YOU NAILED IT!!.
I’m very happy that you have so many videos that I can catch up on!
Dude, if that’s in Edmonton you could set up a blaze orange tent and the hikers/ runners/ cyclists wouldn’t look twice. There are so many people camping in the parks and river valley.
I was thinking the same thing. Nobody would even notice another tent in this city.
If they ask you what you're doing, Steve, just say that you're "sqautching".
Haha I always wondered if he’s ever had an encounter with a Sasquatch
Squantching*
@@marcuscrumpton8568 If he ever did I somehow doubt he'd talk about it
@@Telcontar86 Most people dont so you probably right
@@marcuscrumpton8568He did a camping video for that. Search " steve wallis bigfoot"
Companies that should sponser Steve: Canadian Tire, and Therma Cell.
And Johnsonville Brats.
And every craft brewery near his home.
@@theUcane There really needs to be a "Camping with Steve Step 2 IPA" from some local brewery. It would probably be great for both of them.
Steve 🇨🇦 is just cool. Fans Worldwide watching him set up camp and we get to enjoy it with him. This is better than TV.
Doggie was like- I'm not going to tell on you Steve, but those are some shiny sunglasses on your head!"
😂😂😂😎
"After dinner hikes for people that are healthy and energetic" 🤣🤣
Steve would rather cook burritos in the woods lol
@@kiely4561 BEAN burritos 😆
Thanks for this video Steve . I was having a rough day. This is the best content out there, good old honest camping.
On my lunch break eating a bean & cheese burrito, while watching Steve eating his bean & cheese burrito. 🤣
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to live vicariously through you. I could never do what you do, but I love watching you do it!
You picked the worst spot possible. I was scared for you, I found myself not moving at all and trying to be quiet
There's a huge park by my house in Colorado and during lockdown I really missed camping and backpacking. So I made a ring in the park of old tree branches and then wove grasses and weeds into the perimeter to create like a natural fence. I thought for sure it'd be discovered, but for 8 months I camped there along the river. I even left an old tent and chairs there. From the trail it was almost invisible. Finally a homeless man moved in and I told him it's his if he wanted, and he still lives there
Dog is like.. hey is that steve hunkering down in there.. close call for sure..
No hiding from dogs when you are doing a mosquito fog, I suspect they can smell that. Sunset is prime walking time, Canada and places like norther Michigan or Wisconsin always cool down quickly once the sun sets.
There's so many people on that trail there is no reason for the dog to alert unless directed to.
Dogs like I swear I can smell Steve but he’s just so stealthy I can’t seem to see him haha
Laughed all the way through this 😂 you are a legend, stayed when the rain came when many would have run “Velcro’s not your friend” finished me off.
😅🤣😅
You're stealth camping so many times reminds me of my time in the Army. God Bless You. Keep it up!
Love joining your adventures and creative mind thoughts. Been so busy with work so I put the tent up out back in the woods and stayed 11 nights in a row so far. Would like to make my own camping adventures with my new go pro. So much work but it will slow down with winter coming. You motivate me much. And I watch your videos every night while glamping in my 8 person tent. Just ordered me a small wood stove that I'm super excited to get.
Lol with those refried beans, not sure how badly you'll need the thermacell to keep the bugs away....
😂😂😂
