McDonalds Drive-Thru Stealth Camping

  • I stealth camped behind a #McDonalds drive through last night! I have been looking for a camping spot like this for years. I wanted to do a drive-thru but for some reason (probably safety) they seem to always be clear around with no hiding spots. After years of searching and looking at every Google satellite view, I could find I found my dream McDonalds #camping spot.

      Can someone please tell me what a step 2 is? When I type step 2 in google it just leads to alcoholics anonymous step 2. Or a kids toy company called step 2. I tried typing "step 2 beverage -aa -alcoholics" and i still can't find anything. How?!?!?! Google is terrible.

    If there's one thing I learned from Steve is to be happy with the little things in life. Can't see the little stealth camp from street? Happiness. Cook a nice meal out in the open? Happiness. Get a ride to a camping spot and getting picked up after? Happiness. Light rain only? Happiness. As Steve would say: Doesn't get better than this!
    Love it.

    A tip... Spray the bug spray on a sheet wipe and wipe any part of your body you can reach especially on your face. You can keep the spray out of your eyes a lot easier. A lot of the spray which you just spray on yourself just goes in the air. You can reuse the sheet wipes until they either get dirty or fall apart.

      I’m 60. I did that all the time as a child. I think that would be a great place to sleep. Somewhere I could live if I “ran away”. I had no plans to run away. No reason to run away. But I was always on the lookout for shelter. 😂 Weird places. But always had cover and protection. I grew out of it but these videos reminded me of that.

    I think your concern at the end is unwarranted, whether your videos are late, or your videos are "boring" (they're never boring), or even if they're just videos of you silently reading, we'd still be here waiting to watch and share in the adventures with you. You're the big grown-up kid we all want to be, just out there enjoying the simple things and creating an infectious environment of kindness and connection in your comments section / community following. Your videos have gotten me through some really dark times in my life, so I'm grateful even just to see you at all.

      @@dakotaellis9978 Absolutely, I don't even see it as a full fledged camping channel, it's more like a way for us to hang out with Steve every week - It just so happens we hang out at campsites (Or sometimes in shrubs and bushes, wrapped in trashbags, during a thunderstorm).
      Between him and his English equivalent Kent Survival, it's just endlessly peaceful. genuinely feels like you're just off with your friend - I just wish the videos were longer. I'd happily sit and watch a 30-40 minute video here.

      I will admit that it was hard for me to feel happy about the trees I've painted with Bob Ross. lol Over time, I realized that I actually did paint something better than I normally would have because I had learned from Bob Ross, plus I have the excuse of trying to paint with acrylics instead of the oils he uses. It's very much like your channel, Steve, in that many of us do something similar because we've been inspired by you, but none of us come out with exactly the same thing in the end. Much love!@@campingwithsteve

      God blesses the ones who take care of little children. You might be exhausted now, but when they get older, they will remember it.
