In the last year of Crazy Neighbor’s life, you two went on this wild adventure together. The friendship you two had makes me smile, and I’m glad he got to do this with you.
Hey Steve, I have camouflage nets for all season. I've camped around highways, farmlands, etc. Noise-Cancelling earbuds are amazing on busy main roads. Thermal goggles are awesome. I'm 65. I know 😂😂
If you notice, one of the many things that make Steve and Crazy Neighbor so enjoyable is their manners. They are polite to each other. Its refreshingly positive. Never underestimate the power of politeness!
Shout out to crazy neighbour for being the mate Steve deserves and needs. I know times haven’t been the easiest for Steve but I’m sure it all feels just that little bit more bearable having someone around who’s a good bloke. Good on ya Crazy Neighbour
Can we all appreciate how much of a good friend crazy neighbor is, always loyal to steve and ready to help on my behalf thank crazy neighbor always there thru the good and thru the bad 🙏🏽
Canada needs to make Steve an ambassador of tourism and commerce he is a GD national treasure. Steve, Jess is looking down on you and smiling and thinking you will be okay...you will be OK
this is pure genius. not just the basic idea, but the fact that you made the billboard basically give away what you are doing by insinuating "it's closer than you think" and included an image of yourself in it. so clever, so cool
I smiled the entire time while watching this. Fake billboard, Crazy Neighbor, step twos, FOOD, fireflies, geocaching, littering at your friends establishment, oh I almost forgot Crazy Neighbors purring! Seriously an awesome fun video. I loved it! Thanks Steve and Crazy Neighbor!😂
@@campingwithsteve ,I’m desperate to see that 5 day camping on the river boat,with a solar generator ,maybe A frame top, white Christmas lights in the Aframe boat,those videos are the best,you and crazy neighbor make those videos one of a kind.
Maybe it's just cuz I'm an American, but these guys satisfy the same itch that the Trailer Park Boys did in their prime. It's not fictional, but it's in that same wholesome yet greasy wheelhouse. Love the channel Steve, stay safe bud. 👍
The relationship between Steve and Crazy Neighbor is the most wholesome thing. God Bless these two for having each other and supplying us top notch comfort/entertainment in the process of just being some solid buds.
Steve , I just wanted to say that your videos are like comfort food. No matter how bad my depression or anxiety is getting to me, your camping vids always provide a safe space to chill and hang out.
Crimes against cooking committed:10/10 Billboard Banter:10/10 Step 2: 10/10 Crazy neighbor: 10/10 Geocaching:10/10 All in all, glorious video. Instant classic. Greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.
Steve and Crazy Neighbor are going from stealth camping, to becoming the stealth camp itself. Truly one of the greatest character development arcs of all time. The writers of this show never cease to amaze us. :)
I love the part when you were explaining the fake billboard, and your neighbour chimes in and says, ‘But it’s a GOOD fake billboard!’ as if you’d hurt his feelings 😂
We will miss you so much crazy neighbour, so much love and prayers being sent to all of your loved ones. Especially you Steve, you have been through so much since I have been watching your channel. 😢
If somebody had told me when I was younger that I would spend my time in the future, binge watching older Canadian men, camping behind a billboard that they had constructed themselves........ I would probably have told them to hunker down.... Great work Steve and CN; cuppla legends!!!!!
My baby girl was just born, I'm actually watching this while my wife and her sleep. We can see the smoke from where I live in Maine, I'm glad you are safe Steve. Love the videos, they always seem to ground me and calm me down. My 3 year old boy loves watching camping with Steve when he eats breakfast. All in all, thank you for adding something special to everyone's lives with your content and character. Stay strong
@@Renovegas6109 Yeah they've got thermal cameras to see how much heat is coming from your property, we read a case about it in law. Guy ended up losing in court since they got the "thermal scan" while they were off his property. Been around for a long while too now.
im mourning the passing of an old friend, who i cant be next to as they cross over, watching Steve's videos brings me calm comfort. Thank you Steve for sharing your journey with us
I learned while I was a delivery driver for an industrial supply company that if you're wearing a high viz vest, carrying a clipboard, and walking like you belong somewhere, you can go ANYWHERE, and no one will bat an eye.
Theres been insidents where whole apartment has been robbed empty, clean rental truck, guys wearing overalls and working like they belong there. Once even a neighbourg talked to one of the robbers few minutes, and couldn't tell how they looked. People don't notice things if they are not weird. There once were some robbers who drove delivery truck to a supermarket loading dock and went in while workers had a cig. They loaded truck and drove away. I think it took several days until anyone notised what had happened. Mostly it surpriced me how little workers care about people who are in storage area of a large market, I once rodealong on bakery delivery truck. We delivered to small markets and large supermarkets, I didn't have any working clothes on and none asked why the earth there is some random dude walking around in storage area in civilian clothes. And most odd was that store workers just let you in when you walk to the door with enough confident.
@@felixchauspfft, ain't no one pays us enough to care...when I worked at Target there were always people we weren't aware of, in our loading bay. Coke representatives, Pepsi representatives, FritoLay, our return warehouse trucks, regular stock trucks, and our special items deliveries (bikes usually) Workers get so used to seeing random people in there, we usually never question it and tbh we don't get paid enough to care 😂
I lost the love of my life right before you did Steve. Sending love and prayers... keep camping! Your videos have kept me company during some very dark and quiet hours. Thank you for all you do, and the smiles you bring. We love ya
Absolutely one of your most creative, smartest, and funny camping idea's in your stealth career. Good one Steve and crazy neighbor. One of your best ones.
I've binged through the entire "Stealth Camping" playlist over the last days and noticed a fun fact: every time Crazy Neighbor appeared in an episode, he has always thrown up his arms as a greeting. In *every single episode* he appeared in. I call that consistency!
As someone who works in signage, designs signs, and worked himself up from being an installer - this has got to be my favorite video of yours yet lol. Seeing you and Crazy Neighbor put together that vsign brought back so many memories of driving out to the most remote locations in the county and putting up signs that 99.99% of people would never even think about. One of the most thankless jobs where the only sense of pride is annoying your friends on car-rides by saying "See that 8x8 sign out there? I put that up at 4pm on a Friday while getting assaulted by mosquitos!" lol. You two made this look fun, man. Much love.
@@kevin2true582 Of course I'm just being a little dramatic for comedic effect lol. But there was the self satisfaction of a doing a good job and having a sense of pride after it was all said and done. There was no better way of learning the trade rather than being in in dirt and doing it myself. I've had co-workers come into design without having field experience before, and there's certain things they've have no way of knowing when without field experience. So I'd say it was absolutely worth it, even if it was awful some days lol.
Australian here. Never seen a firefly before, but that is the most magical thing ever! The wholesomeness of Steve and Crazy Neighbour enjoying the light show is just heart warming. Also, went camping with my girlfriend last weekend for my birthday. She messaged me after she bought the food and said "I've also got us a couple of step twos each!" Clearly I've got myself a keeper there.
@@jessica3548 There are sections of Aus that don't. They prefer marshy or temperate climates so he might not be close to their natural habitat in Aus. It's funny to me because it's one of those creatures that "if I didn't have video footage of what I'm talking about you won't believe this exists". For Australia it's the Kangaroo. Try telling people "Yeah that mammal that has it's one-month baby born into a pouch where it's just chills for eight months hopping around? Yeah that uses it's massive legs to jump around? You REALLY don't want to be punched by it either."
My life has recently become very dark and difficult to navigate. It's good that there are a few lights along the trail. Thanks for sharing this. You're really helping people.
This was super cool! If you ever wish to do another billboard camp like this, a way you can be even more stealthy ironically is to have lights on the outside lighting up the billboard. It'd do well to hide any lights behind the billboard so you'd be free to turn on any flashlights for cooking or even just to have on in general :)
Steve, I've had a tough day with a loved one at the hospital. Got home late and discovered this gem. Thanks for making this terrible day a little easier!
One of these days we're going to need Steve to release his campsite cookbook so we can replicate some of this magic ourselves. Especially if it only uses relative measurements like "1 can of corn (small one)" or "cook until Jackery runs out of battery."
I’ve never seen a comment section that’s more supportive or positive. Love the videos Steve, you’re building a wonderful community, keep pumpin out classics. 🙏 you’re an inspiration
Could you imagine watching any part of that video, coming down here, and being salty about something? Man is well on his way to being a Bob Ross/Steve Rodgers/Steve Irwin type of the modern era.
He’s weathered the nasty hate and ridicule now those idiots are gone and leaving Steve for us to enjoy. Steve is modest and just doesn’t realize how many people love him. Lucky Crazy Neighbor, family and friends of a real man. He lets go of ego and entertains us.
Steve, get an ebike with fat tires. I have hip and knee problems and cycling without too much pressure on joints is good. It has made all the difference for me and I’m able to go many places with it and see so much more. I put tannus armor inside tires to make them just about puncture proof. I’ve seen many older folks (I’m 67 this month) on e-bikes and they all love being able to get out there. I’ve seen several people with TH-cam channels who ebike in the woods, etc. I’m happy that my husband has recently joined me on the class 2 ebike (has a throttle and pedal assist. He has COPD so it is delightful seeing him enjoy life with me. I love your little camper! It’s perfect! Thanks for all your hard work and shares. May God bless you wherever you adventure to! 💙🙏🏼💙
Thanks for not giving up Steve, I know it it's hard to keep doing what you're doing after such a huge loss in your life and I'm glad you're able to find comfort in doing some things you love like camping in unexpected places. Big hugs to you man.
I haven't seen fireflies since I was a kid. That was awesome! And I totally love the "Let's just put up a fake billboard and camp behind it beside this lovely wooded area" concept! LOL Best stealth camping yet!!!
We burst out laughing as soon as we saw the heading of this one, Steve and Crazy Neighbour. We have been going through a lot of stressful family times at the moment and dealing with a very sick pet so thanks for giving us this video to put some smiles on our faces. You help people by entertaining them and making them forget their problems for a little while. Thank you! 💗
I’ve just spent the past 23 minutes and 45 seconds smiling…constantly…there’s not many things in life let alone on TH-cam that can have that kind of an effect! Cheers guys 👍
This is a certified hood classic. I hope you and your friends are staying safe and healthy with all of the fires in Canada. Two of my firefighting friends are volunteering for a couple of weeks to help firefight, and I know a LOT of other people from around the world are going to be chipping in.
im experiencing depression due to my PTSD from child hood trauma and this is the only thing that relaxes me. Steve, your videos feel like a warm shower and fresh sheets. thank you
This is seriously the most ballsy and ridiculous thing I've seen you do. Like I thought the roundabout camping was absurd but this took it to the next level. I love it. XD
I was listening from the kitchen in the first ten minutes of this episode. Had to come out and see what I was hearing! You are amazing! Kudos, as always. So funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! I haven't seen as many as most viewers yet, but this is the most imaginative episode yet!
It drives me crazy that this is all happening in my general neighborhood. It makes me always wonder if at any given moment Steve is back in town, could be camping behind my house for all I know.
Rip Glenn I can’t believe you have left us but your videos will keep the memories of you alive god bless you my friend and may you have many more camping trips in heaven xx
I really needed a Steve Wallis video tonight. And not only did a Steve unknowingly deliver just that, but brought crazy neighbor and a fake billboard sign along. Thank you, Steve, for doing what you do. It reaches people in the weirdest, but most timely ways, and makes a difference, as weird as it must sound 🙂
Canada's environment is very similar to the UK, We also have fire flys but only in remote undisturbed grasslands and woods, you would not see them next to a road. When I first see them My self in the grass they suprised Me, little flashing lights, very cool.
@@VespasianJudea Not sure why they are not widespread in the UK I have only ever seen them once and that was on a semi wild grass and woods, it's used for bird hunting.
This is pure gold, what more can I say. I found your channel at the beginning of January this year when I was admitted to hospital. I’ve since watched all of your videos, and you’ve kept me going. I’m a camper, wild, stealth, campsites, unfortunately I won’t be camping this year, cancer for you. What you achieve, what you’ve been through and overcome, you are a real inspiration, thank you for keeping us all going. All the best and roll on next Thursdays adventure
Thank you so very much Steve, I really appreciate you saying that. Found your channel in hospital as reality hit me I wasn’t going to be camping any time soon, now I’m hooked. You are a real inspiration, not just for the camping but what you yourself have been through. Each Thursday I look forward to ‘hunker down time’ for your next upload. All the best and god bless
You gone above and beyond for us on the one Steve, appreciate all the work you put into making these things happen! "Camping, it's closer than you think" And being right behind the sign is too funny 😆
Posting a billboard without a permit...illegal incursion on a utility easement and trespassing!! Then you film the malfeasance!! The things you'll do for us, Steve...you are awesome!! Thanks so much
Steve & Crazy Neighbour get away with the crime of the century yet again! This was a brilliant idea, Steve! An all-time classic that’ll never be forgotten!
life's been pretty lonely the last few years. every now and then i'll put one of your videos on because it makes me feel like there's a friend in the room talking to me. particularly when you cheers, us. something about this video in particular hit close, looking back at this nice day you two had together knowing he's gone now. i'm not quite sure what it is, but thanks for allowing us to have a glimpse into your life. it's comforting.
8:58. This is GOLD. Handmade silly billboard, a freakin' crock pot set up at camp. This is one of the silliest and best of the series 😆😍 And what a magical night too - with the geocache and seeing the fireflies.
Rest in peace crazy neighbor. ❤Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness to everyone. Gone but never forgotten 😢
Crazy Neighbour, disguises, a billboard... what more could anyone possibly want in a video?? Thanks Steve!
Don’t forget the onion burgs!
And the real shop behind them... lol . Bushyboy Oz.
step 2 woulda been nice but i wont be the one to say anything...
@@denniscrane9753 boiled Burger lol
For added effect, photograph the place of the camping, and put up that photo of empty space , and camp behind it ! :-)
R.I.P. crazy neighbor we absolutely adored him and the energy he brought to these videos, said to hear of his passing
In the last year of Crazy Neighbor’s life, you two went on this wild adventure together. The friendship you two had makes me smile, and I’m glad he got to do this with you.
We are watching a classic right now! Steve you've outdone yourself!
I second that. Steve is a legend.
Top quality Steve, again!😊
This guy knows
I concur.
Awesome!!! You've outdone yourself!!!
Steve has just raised the bar to an untouchable level
Yes
More likes for this.
Really, untouchable
Next level is ''camping on a fake highway'' and he perceeds to build his own highway xD
hes been there this is nothing new.. i mean except the new concept hahahaha but hahahaha hes always been untouchable imo
LOL, "Camping - it's closer than you think" is sheer brilliance!
One of your best stealth stunts ever!
“Closer than you think” yeah it’s right there 😂😂
Genius
I didn't even get it until you mentioned it, incredible.
It’s perfect lol
Hey Steve, I have camouflage nets for all season. I've camped around highways, farmlands, etc. Noise-Cancelling earbuds are amazing on busy main roads. Thermal goggles are awesome. I'm 65. I know 😂😂

Canadians can't help it.
Very Canadian!
Just as an A'mercan screams Hell Yeah!
weird, nice Canadians.
Canadians are like that, the most I seen.
People driving past going “wow these billboards are getting realistic, it’s like I can actually smell those Onion Burg’s” 💗
They could actually smell Steve, too! He's closer than they knew!
Lol😅
😊
This comment made me bust!! Lmao😂😂😂
@@FatalChaz33 Both yours and the original comment are really hilarious.
Steve and Crazy Neighbour,the perfect example of what happens when a couple of guys are left unsupervised
Huge mistake though. When they reattached the billboard to the roof of the car they didn't pat it twice and say 'That's not going anywhere.'
Gloriously so.
Go! Go! Go! Go! They're right behind us!
I think you mean a couple of sociopaths?
@@le_th_So you think camping behind a fake billboard constitutes diagnosing a cluster b personality disorder?!?
Crazy Neighbor is just one of the best friends a guy could ever ask for
Definitely. And what better person to have a friend like that than Steve. They are so wholesome.
Glen is Steve's best friend hands down, aways there for each other there almost like brothers at this point.
Everyone needs a friend like Crazy Neighbor.
He is a true treasure!
Thanks!
Thank you Linda. 🍻
Steve and Crazy Neighbour enjoying fireflies together is the kind of wholesome content I needed today
Amen to that.
💯
Your name is incredible
Exactly! This is a beautiful video.
What a freaking legend.... camping behind a sign of himself. Bravo
Agreed. Literally put up a sign "This is what I'm doing, right here, right now." SMH ... in admiration. Stealth through obviousness. er. something.
Are you the TC Williams? The tattoo artist.
@Tom G I apologize sir, I am not
Steve and Crazy Neighbor are the epitome of Just Two Dudes Being Bros
Couple guys being fellas
@@dukeofdixielandjust a couple of fellas who are friends
Rest in Peace Crazy Neighbor. You're a true friend not only to Steve, but to your subscribers as well. God bless.
The “Camping, it’s closer than you think” billboard is pure genius!
and he used a picture of himself! incredible
That was my thought. It also really made me laugh!
An opening with Steve and Crazy Neighbour in “disguises”. You just know this is going to be a classic 😂
Absolutely! Instant classic
Crazy neighbor is the perfect companion
"Camping, It's closer than you think" is EPIC trolling. Thanks Steve (and Crazy Neighbour)!
I always love seeing crazy neighbor in the videos. He’s such a cool, laid back guy. Very endearing to see you two having fun together like this!
Glad you enjoyed!
I can just imagine someone driving by with their windows open, reading the onion burg sign, and thinking, "I can almost smell them!"
😂😂😂
Those onion burgs looked good! I just wish he said what the first 2 packets were that went into the crock pot.
Probably onion soup mix. It's beef "broth" based
Good one!
😂😂❤
Shout out to crazy neighbour for being the mate Steve deserves and needs. I know times haven’t been the easiest for Steve but I’m sure it all feels just that little bit more bearable having someone around who’s a good bloke. Good on ya Crazy Neighbour

Pure genius, man. That's gosh damn hilarious.
Can we all appreciate how much of a good friend crazy neighbor is, always loyal to steve and ready to help on my behalf thank crazy neighbor always there thru the good and thru the bad 🙏🏽
If he has a neighbor, that implies he has a place to live, so why exactly is he stealth camping?
Mayonnaise
@@SniffHeinkel for his TH-cam channel are you dense ?
@@SniffHeinkel it's recreational, dude clearly loves doing it and it's pretty harmless.
He passed away
The whole camping is closer then you think while camping behind it is pure irony and I love it😂
well if you see that sign you know it's just Steve and crazy Neighbor camping again🤣
cause camping it's closer then you think
Canada needs to make Steve an ambassador of tourism and commerce he is a GD national treasure. Steve, Jess is looking down on you and smiling and thinking you will be okay...you will be OK
Steve is "stealth camping" behind a billboard which says "Camping" and has a picture of him on it. GOLD!!!
It also said "It's closer than you think" Oh yes it is, like right behind the sign.
Illusionist stealth camping

As sad as this is, this is such a testament to the friendship you had, to be able to relive so many wonderful events, rest easy crazy neighbour ❤
True. This friendship is more fun to watch than Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
It’s only a matter of time before Steve is doing a stealth camp in a 24 hour Walmart furniture section.
I was thinking he should stealth camp in a mattress store. Can he do it? Well, can he? Hmmm....
This needs to be a thing
🤣💛
Stealth camp in an ikea staged bedroom lol
Yes yes yes
And this is why Steve is the father of stealth camping. Well done bud, well done.
I love the part when you were explaining the fake billboard, and your neighbour chimes in and says, ‘But it’s a GOOD fake billboard!’ as if you’d hurt his feelings 😂
We will miss you so much crazy neighbour, so much love and prayers being sent to all of your loved ones. Especially you Steve, you have been through so much since I have been watching your channel. 😢

If somebody had told me when I was younger that I would spend my time in the future, binge watching older Canadian men, camping behind a billboard that they had constructed themselves........ I would probably have told them to hunker down.... Great work Steve and CN; cuppla legends!!!!!
The Red Green show prepped me for watching these kind of shenanigans from a young age.
True however I think the sign was to far from the road to be seen.
we all deserve the kind of friendship that steve and crazy neighbor have
"They require permits, and we don't roll that way."
Pure chaos.
Your creativity knows no boundaries!! I think you can officially crown yourself the godfather of stealth camping!
Not ""practicle stealth camping " More like rchestrated click bait stunts"

The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result
I’ve seen one where he didn’t do that and I thought to myself weird…
Steve’s has taken it to the next level - from stealth camping to performance art

@@kevin2true582 Of course I'm just being a little dramatic for comedic effect lol. But there was the self satisfaction of a doing a good job and having a sense of pride after it was all said and done. There was no better way of learning the trade rather than being in in dirt and doing it myself.
I've had co-workers come into design without having field experience before, and there's certain things they've have no way of knowing when without field experience. So I'd say it was absolutely worth it, even if it was awful some days lol.
Steve came in with one of his best ideas I seen yet. very innovative, smart, and creative.
RIP Crazy Neighbor. I'm sure going to miss you!!!!!😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
These dudes are killing the stealth camping game!!!
Australian here. Never seen a firefly before, but that is the most magical thing ever! The wholesomeness of Steve and Crazy Neighbour enjoying the light show is just heart warming.
Also, went camping with my girlfriend last weekend for my birthday. She messaged me after she bought the food and said "I've also got us a couple of step twos each!" Clearly I've got myself a keeper there.
Food, beer, AND a massage?
I never knew there weren't fireflies in Oz, and I'm stunned by this 😯
@@jessica3548 No, there definitely are fireflies in Oz, just this dudes never encountered any for some reason.
@@jessica3548 There are sections of Aus that don't. They prefer marshy or temperate climates so he might not be close to their natural habitat in Aus. It's funny to me because it's one of those creatures that "if I didn't have video footage of what I'm talking about you won't believe this exists".
For Australia it's the Kangaroo. Try telling people "Yeah that mammal that has it's one-month baby born into a pouch where it's just chills for eight months hopping around? Yeah that uses it's massive legs to jump around? You REALLY don't want to be punched by it either."
Yeah, no fireflies in Victoria. I blame Fox...
My life has recently become very dark and difficult to navigate. It's good that there are a few lights along the trail. Thanks for sharing this. You're really helping people.
Keep your chin up. This, too, shall pass
Hang in there. Eventually, it will be more light than dark. Take care❤
It’s never boring when you and Crazy Neighbor get up to shenanigans!!!
Shenanigans is the perfect word. They're like the Lucy & Ethel of TH-cam. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Way to go, guys!
I thought Crazy Neighbor had a haircut. I also thought it looked really good on him. I hope he hears the compliment.
Always look forward to your videos, Steve!
you just took stealth camping to a whole new level, absolute legend
This was super cool! If you ever wish to do another billboard camp like this, a way you can be even more stealthy ironically is to have lights on the outside lighting up the billboard. It'd do well to hide any lights behind the billboard so you'd be free to turn on any flashlights for cooking or even just to have on in general :)
Steve, I've had a tough day with a loved one at the hospital. Got home late and discovered this gem. Thanks for making this terrible day a little easier!
Hope all is well for you
@@scaredyet Thank you for your kind thoughts. Everything is looking up today.
Hugz from Australia 😢
@@HeleSha Thank you!
One of these days we're going to need Steve to release his campsite cookbook so we can replicate some of this magic ourselves. Especially if it only uses relative measurements like "1 can of corn (small one)" or "cook until Jackery runs out of battery."
I was thinking the other day that "Cooking with Steve" could be the next big adventure. Great idea! Maybe some videos as well.
I smell a community project here. Wiki worthy for sure.
Oh man that made me laugh pretty good! Jackery….😂
I’ve never seen a comment section that’s more supportive or positive. Love the videos Steve, you’re building a wonderful community, keep pumpin out classics. 🙏 you’re an inspiration
Could you imagine watching any part of that video, coming down here, and being salty about something? Man is well on his way to being a Bob Ross/Steve Rodgers/Steve Irwin type of the modern era.
He’s weathered the nasty hate and ridicule now those idiots are gone and leaving Steve for us to enjoy.
Steve is modest and just doesn’t realize how many people love him. Lucky Crazy Neighbor, family and friends of a real man. He lets go of ego and entertains us.
Steve, get an ebike with fat tires. I have hip and knee problems and cycling without too much pressure on joints is good. It has made all the difference for me and I’m able to go many places with it and see so much more. I put tannus armor inside tires to make them just about puncture proof. I’ve seen many older folks (I’m 67 this month) on e-bikes and they all love being able to get out there. I’ve seen several people with TH-cam channels who ebike in the woods, etc. I’m happy that my husband has recently joined me on the class 2 ebike (has a throttle and pedal assist. He has COPD so it is delightful seeing him enjoy life with me. I love your little camper! It’s perfect! Thanks for all your hard work and shares. May God bless you wherever you adventure to! 💙🙏🏼💙
Not a bad idea!
Thanks for not giving up Steve, I know it it's hard to keep doing what you're doing after such a huge loss in your life and I'm glad you're able to find comfort in doing some things you love like camping in unexpected places. Big hugs to you man.
I guess I’ve been camping under a rock, May i ask whom Steve lost?
@@to_theroof His wife died suddenly awhile back.
@@StatOnTheATdamn, worst things happen to the best people 😥
It occurs to me that Steve is one of those guys that never outgrew 'fort building'.
Aww, you must be new 😂
No guy really does, some are just better at hiding it than others.
@@masterp2269 No. I've been subscribed for years.
I haven't seen fireflies since I was a kid. That was awesome! And I totally love the "Let's just put up a fake billboard and camp behind it beside this lovely wooded area" concept! LOL Best stealth camping yet!!!
Me also, some 50 years for me. The fireflies were so bright!!! Loved seeing them.
We love you Crazy Neighbor. You've made a huge impact on the world 🌎 ❤
We burst out laughing as soon as we saw the heading of this one, Steve and Crazy Neighbour. We have been going through a lot of stressful family times at the moment and dealing with a very sick pet so thanks for giving us this video to put some smiles on our faces. You help people by entertaining them and making them forget their problems for a little while. Thank you! 💗
Best wishes for everything to turn around!
Hey , hoping you catch a break , it's some of the worst times I've seen , but lopsided , also.
Good luck with your animal's health. ❤
@@SJC49 Aww, thank you. Steve truly has great fans!
@@doneown503 Thank you. It means so much to us that people we don't even know would send best wishes to us.
I’ve just spent the past 23 minutes and 45 seconds smiling…constantly…there’s not many things in life let alone on TH-cam that can have that kind of an effect! Cheers guys 👍
This is a certified hood classic. I hope you and your friends are staying safe and healthy with all of the fires in Canada. Two of my firefighting friends are volunteering for a couple of weeks to help firefight, and I know a LOT of other people from around the world are going to be chipping in.
im experiencing depression due to my PTSD from child hood trauma and this is the only thing that relaxes me. Steve, your videos feel like a warm shower and fresh sheets. thank you
This is seriously the most ballsy and ridiculous thing I've seen you do. Like I thought the roundabout camping was absurd but this took it to the next level. I love it. XD
You're right. Roundabout was my all time favorite but this is pure brilliance.
@Aaron Falzerano at this rate next year we will get Fake UFO Stealth Camping :D
Steve and Crazy Neighbor- thank you both, I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
CAMPING- IT’S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK! 😂😂😂
Yeah, like right behind this sign😂.
The Camping sign "It's closer than you think" is pure gold. 👍😄
I was listening from the kitchen in the first ten minutes of this episode. Had to come out and see what I was hearing!
You are amazing! Kudos, as always. So funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
I haven't seen as many as most viewers yet, but this is the most imaginative episode yet!
It drives me crazy that this is all happening in my general neighborhood. It makes me always wonder if at any given moment Steve is back in town, could be camping behind my house for all I know.
Sorry, that was me. Would you like me to move on???
@@jengoodwyn2715 All depends on how many step 2's you have and your willingness to share.
Behind your house? He's probably camping right under your bed. That purring noise you heard was Crazy Neighbor.
You better check your yard 😂
@@LAharlinthought I smelled burgers cooking. Lol
That takes hiding in plain sight to the next level!
I love how Crazy Neighbour is just up for anything 😅
Rip Glenn I can’t believe you have left us but your videos will keep the memories of you alive god bless you my friend and may you have many more camping trips in heaven xx
I really needed a Steve Wallis video tonight. And not only did a Steve unknowingly deliver just that, but brought crazy neighbor and a fake billboard sign along. Thank you, Steve, for doing what you do. It reaches people in the weirdest, but most timely ways, and makes a difference, as weird as it must sound 🙂
Canada's environment is very similar to the UK, We also have fire flys but only in remote undisturbed grasslands and woods, you would not see them next to a road. When I first see them My self in the grass they suprised Me, little flashing lights, very cool.
I needed it this morning. Glad it dropped. I don’t want him to wear himself out of camping though. That would suck.
@@HOLLASOUNDS
Same for the americas. They’re basically everywhere though.
@@VespasianJudea Not sure why they are not widespread in the UK I have only ever seen them once and that was on a semi wild grass and woods, it's used for bird hunting.
@@HOLLASOUNDS
Maybe it’s because UK is more developed? Idk man.
This is pure gold, what more can I say. I found your channel at the beginning of January this year when I was admitted to hospital. I’ve since watched all of your videos, and you’ve kept me going. I’m a camper, wild, stealth, campsites, unfortunately I won’t be camping this year, cancer for you. What you achieve, what you’ve been through and overcome, you are a real inspiration, thank you for keeping us all going. All the best and roll on next Thursdays adventure
It’s a lonely battle you are in. God help you.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate you saying that, all the best
Keep up the good fight! Hoping for nothing but good things for you, so you can get back to camping soon!
Thank you so very much Steve, I really appreciate you saying that. Found your channel in hospital as reality hit me I wasn’t going to be camping any time soon, now I’m hooked. You are a real inspiration, not just for the camping but what you yourself have been through. Each Thursday I look forward to ‘hunker down time’ for your next upload. All the best and god bless
Wish you nothing but the best. Hang tough!
You gone above and beyond for us on the one Steve, appreciate all the work you put into making these things happen!
"Camping, it's closer than you think" And being right behind the sign is too funny 😆
Steve and Crazy Neighbor are so wholesome together. You never see neighbors like that anymore.
Posting a billboard without a permit...illegal incursion on a utility easement and trespassing!! Then you film the malfeasance!! The things you'll do for us, Steve...you are awesome!! Thanks so much
You're only a criminal if you get caught.
Steve & Crazy Neighbour get away with the crime of the century yet again! This was a brilliant idea, Steve! An all-time classic that’ll never be forgotten!
This is the most legendary stealth camping video ever. Steve Wallis is the GOAT.
life's been pretty lonely the last few years. every now and then i'll put one of your videos on because it makes me feel like there's a friend in the room talking to me. particularly when you cheers, us. something about this video in particular hit close, looking back at this nice day you two had together knowing he's gone now. i'm not quite sure what it is, but thanks for allowing us to have a glimpse into your life. it's comforting.
Thank you for such a thoughtful post. This is one that resonates...
I can tell that you are part of what is GOOD in the world. Take care of yourself!
8:58. This is GOLD. Handmade silly billboard, a freakin' crock pot set up at camp. This is one of the silliest and best of the series 😆😍 And what a magical night too - with the geocache and seeing the fireflies.
