Abandoned Rail Stealth Camping
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- I headed down an abandoned #rail line for some stealth camping. I hoped to find a nice little spot along the tracks and fortune was on my side. Perhaps a bit too stealthy of a #camping spot as I would say there was about a 0% chance of anyone finding me. Perhaps not a nail-biting night, but any night outdoors is always good.

I'm perfectly happy with "Steve camps in interesting places" instead of "suspenseful drama stealth" videos sometimes! I have been enjoying your videos lately, thank you so much!
Not normally this late to the party but what this clever person said, whatever the case, keep hunkering down 😊 🍻
Yes man, people evolve and do better things.👍
except everything was good until he started doing rails
How about we appreciate both?
totally agree
Who else was scared the rock was going straight for the highway? 😅
Call it car / truck bowling from there! Lol
That was my first thought....
Me!
I was
Steve thought so to by the look on his face...
Steve, you could pitch a tent in your living room and we'd be just fine "camping" with you. You just being you is enough for us. Love ya bro.
Just grab a couple of the blankets from the fort, throw them over the kitchen table and chairs. Now you're camping with steve.
And a step 2
This is what my guy brain means when I say I would love to see the videos that aren’t a “success” to you Steve.
Idk man, I don't know if wanna see Steve's tent pole inside the house
Lmao with that hammock😂
Steve, I've been a silent viewer. I watch but don't really comment. However, I just wanted to say that as much as I love your videos with a little extra spice, like the roundabout, I also love these types of videos that are just nice and lowkey. I'd be willing to guess that many other people in this community agree with that sentiment as well. Just do you and we'll be along for the camping ride. This was a relaxing one but I loved it, thank you for the video and thank you for just being you!
Thanks for the kind words and following along
@campingwithsteve hey Steve do u have a whats app buisness account on as I am not sure if someone is pretending to be you and asking for you subscribes to invest in stocks and shers??? I have received a msg asking
Since covid has kept me from doing group camp trips, it's been really nice to listen to the nature sounds and the rustle and bustle of camping while I fall asleep. It's very nice chill vibes camping with steve
@@luke-THC obviously scam
one of my favourite things about steve has to be his dedication to leaving the places he camps just as nice or better than he found them, too many people just dont do that
We have to appreciate his respect of the land. 💙
Inspired me to do the same
Proud of you for staying so strong through your loss, big guy! We all love you
I always think of that when I watch one of Steve's videos. He is a strong bloke ❤
You don’t have to flirt with the law to make awesome content. Literally hanging out with you any way you choose to camp is a pleasure! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Television is trash, THIS is wholesome entertainment by a genuinely good person, thank you.👍🏼
LOL You are so right!
No fakes, no paid actors, real entertainment.
Absolutely!!
@@Ajiponferret Yeah way better than most vlogs with similar stuff! But the others dwell way too long on forcing us ( if u don't switch channels) to watch ppl cry stuff in a fring pan ! Lol
No television is not trash.
Can we all just take a second to appreciate this man. He wonders if he's 'got the guts' to go through with something claustrophobic while at the same time having firmly decided to boldly wander into dragon territory.
Thoughts, well wishes, and general good vibes to you and everyone else out there Steve.
My thoughts exactly
Steve: “Hold my step 2 while I get my self into a situation…on purpose…”
It'll be caving.
Amen brother
I was having a bad day and I saw that you released a new video and got me happy again. It's like hunkering down with a friend and leaving the stress at the door. Thanks, Steve
I fully agree!
Totally agree!☺️👌
Don't forget to feel your feelings when you're done. You'll feel a lot better. ❤️
I love hunkering down and watching Steve's new upload ❤❤❤
🎯🎯🎯
I am very inspired by the way you are picking yourself up and moving on. You’re very strong. Much love and light, Steve.
❤
I don't like to say moving on, it's more like continuing on for me.
@@lauriewaters7206 , fabulous perspective.
@@Soulvibesspeak Thank you, it's a tough journey. Our youngest son got married a few weeks ago so that brings on a whole other set of emotions. It's an every day journey.
I wish Steve the best.
@@lauriewaters7206 You’re welcome, sweet lady. Sending love , I wish you the best.
Don’t worry about it not being challenging or stealthy. I started watching you from your ordinary camping videos when you were taking classes a few years ago. Other types of camping are welcome, wether it’s stealth, in camp grounds, unusual setups, in camper vehicles, etc. because we just like your personality.
Well said.
agreed
Totally agree!
Steve is literally the guy anyone could be friends with
and would want to
Man, I love this guy. He is the true definition of a real life legend. Never give up, no matter what.
Steve Wallis is the goat of TH-cam. We will always adore your Steve!!!
Biden? Don’t you have some kids to smell?
Even if it's not the riskiest of places to camp, it's still interesting to me because you are doing all of the things that I've only ever thought (dreamed) about doing. Driving down the highway or backroads and seeing all of these out of the way places that would be super cool to camp at is what I love about your channel because you actually do it :)
I have no idea why I get so much enjoyment from these videos. I don't camp or have much of a desire to(maybe one day) but TH-cam really nailed it when they recommended this channel out of nowhere to me. I'm still here almost 2 years later and find the videos very amusing and relaxing. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us Steve.
Get out and try it !
I camped in the military. I said no more camping ever again . I love watching Steve
I have watched his videos for years and they still bring me comfort
@@burnafterreading7335 because camping with Steve is actually fun
Steve, you inspired my wife and I to get out of the house and start (legally, not stealthily) camping! We've been out a few times already and every time we wrap up one trip we're already planning the next one! It's some of the best time we've spent together in the over 25 years we've been married. Thank you!
Outdoors is great
I just enjoy spending half an hour with Steve. It doesn't always have to be suspenseful. That's why I like the alternative normal camping videos and home restoration videos he sometimes puts out.
I think you've put perfectly. Everytime Steve posts a video it feels like "Hey my buddy is back online, lemme spend half an hour with him catching up, so he can tell me his latest crazy adventure "
this guy just starting popping up in my recommended and i cant stop watching and i was wondering why. i think you put it well hes great company
Steve, just wanted to say your videos have brought me a lot of joy in a very dark time of loss. You are a constant light. Thanks, man!
And P.S. not sure if anyone has ever told you this but you should look into doing voiceover work or reading books for audio. You've got a great voice for it!
Hey Steve! Another great video. Jess is with you every step of the way and is so proud of you for ‘pushing’ on today. We are all cheering you on and sending cheers for each step 2!
🍻
This is a very serendipitous stealth camping episode, in light of the passing of Gordon Lightfoot, who wrote and performed the Canadian Railroad Trilogy, one of his greatest hits. A stealth tribute to Gordon. 🥰
"So they looked to the future and what did they see?
They saw iron road camping by a nice guy called Steve.
Bringing good humor to a bunch of his fans
Who can't wait to go camping across this great land."
I had tickets to see him in Florida last month. He had to cancel for health reasons. Unfortunately, I will never get to see him perform live.
Wow I didn't even know Gordon Lightfoot passed. 😢 What an amazing songwriter! Definitely fits well with camping with Steve
YESSSSS! AMAZING!
Agreed! I'd not thought of that, but Gordon Lightfoot would make an amazing soundtrack🎶 for many of Steve's videos. His music will be missed.
Lovely poem to a wonderful person, good onya
The reason we watch is 90% steve 10% actual camping.
I agree. I'd still watch every video even if they became "just sitting with Steve". Something about him just makes me think only about the video while I watch. The rest of the day just goes away during the video.
Rong
I love your videos no matter where or how you camp. As long as I'm camping with Steve, I'm content and having fun! Steve, camp anywhere you want. We will always be there with you.
:)
Steve doing a better job then 90% of Railway inspectors 😂
Steve has the eye for the out of whack.
Which is 110% better than India's TSA security screenersworth.
@@breakit46And as a Canadian, Steve knows his Chilliwack, too.
@@bold810 Does he play with it?
Norfolk Southern hires the blind for that job!
Whenever a video by Steve pops up on my notifications, I know that it's going to be a fantastic 30 minutes. Love the videos, bud! Keep it up and stay safe out there!
It was surprising to me to discover via TH-cam that each camper (or bushcrafter, backpacker, survivalist...) has his own style to practice this activity, and you definitely have yours!
I love when you start your videos this way. Just a vehicle leaving the scene while you watch them depart. Then immediately addressing us like, “Alright, let’s get started.” Top tier content.
“Camping with Steve” is good enough for us. It doesn’t need to be “stealthy” for most of us, although your stealth tips are valuable for many! Thanks for another good episode!
We all watch Steve for the enjoyment but he's always dropping serious camping safety knowledge. What a total legend.
I never met a clone of Steve when I vacationed in Detroit.
Camping in the ruins. Atop vacated public buildings and
shuttered industrial property. Recommend BUILDERING.
I lived in a tent in Southern Oregon from 6/2015 to 1/2018. Me and my husband but he passed on 1/9/2018. And 17 days later I was in Portland, and by February 1st started a job. Now 5 years later, I am back in Oklahoma, live in same town as my mom, daughter and 2 grandbabies. I'm grateful for that experience. Lived in 4 seasons. Woke up to feet of snow 2 x in that time frame.
Thanks for your video.
Interesting life you must have lived.
@@itsTodd oh it definitely wasn't boring! 😂 Very difficult at times but many blessings we received as well. 🙏
@@Brwneydgrl69 I’m sure! Thanks for sharing, take care
Always a good day, when there's a new Steve Wallis stealth video! Have a good day, Steve, and everyone that reads this comment:)

Yeah dude, same to you! Thanks
Thursday is not complete without Mr. Hunker-Down’s adventures
I don't mind at all Steve - your version of a boring stealth camp is my idea of a great half-hour of viewing pleasure. Thanks for posting, I look forward to every Thursday because of you.
We don’t come here for the “challenge of the stealth,” as much as we come here for “Steve, the person, camping.” Thanks for all you do, and for reigniting that passion for camping and cool people like you do, Steve.
You know what I love that happens when stealth camping? Even the most mundane looking place starts to feel like home. You start recognizing every plant, stone, branch. After a while that mundane place that everyone would have overlooked becomes something special for you.
Thanks again for your videos!
I know exactly what you're saying
Do you camp in the gardens of your JCC/armory too?
I actually love this. It's hard to explain the feeling you get when a random place starts to feel like home.
It's like making a fort to hang out in with your friends. We had a bridge instead of a fort, but it had a lovely couch and wind chime😅
hey steve, it's not all about stealth and excitement.. sometimes it's nice to just hunker down for a relaxing night outside in the hammock
I like the hammock videos I was wondering when it would make an appearance again
Been having a pretty tough couple of weeks, I just want to thank you for doing what you do. Ive been able to find a little bit of peace while watching your videos, and just helping me feel a little more human rn. Going camping this upcoming weekend which I really need, thinking of planning a stealth camp soon inspired by you :) Thank you Steve, I just hope you know you make the world a better place!
Imagine driving down the highway and all of a sudden smelling food when there's nothing but trees for miles and miles😂
Steve, anytime I’m feeling down or anxious I put on one of your videos. Just now I went looking for a video for that reason and you uploaded 3 minutes ago as of right now (I don’t have notifications on). Just want to say your videos mean a lot to me as it brings me solace from time to time. Thanks for not giving up, this community loves you beyond words. Much love.
Steve, anytime you go camping in any “non-conventional” camping area, I consider it stealth camping, whether you consider it boring or not…we your loyal fans just want “camping with Steve”, whatever form that may or may not take (its okay if it doesn’t). We love you, and your adventures, wherever they may take (us).
2 hours and you have 10,000 likes, your making people’s days and helping a lot of us through grief much love ❤️
Every time I see a new post, I smile.
I look forward to Thursdays now. The man has single-handedly extended the weekend by a day
Love your first responder shoutouts whenever you see a unit heading to a call, I know they appreciate it!!
Steve, you're awesome. I don't care how your food looks, I just love to watch your stealth meals. And I don't care how risky your spot is. I just enjoy spending my virtual time with you. Thanks, Steve!
I think we can all agree the level of risk doesn't mean it's a bad camping video. It's still an interesting place regardless of the low risk of being caught.
I'm glad to see you doing well, my dude. As a fellow Steve who also lost a spouse, I respect your progress. Keep on it my dude.
41 isn't even remotely close to old, dude.
I was watching a British guy the other day on his backpacking adventures. He doesn’t have a lot of subscribers or anything like that. But at one point when things settled down he pulled out a beer and said “as Steve Wallis would do, it’s time for step 2”. It’s so cool to see how much you’ve grown and how far your reach is. Keep up the good work!
What is his channel, please?
Maybe Kent survival
I know the Blot Outdoors Show has been a big fan of Steve for a long time, and he is in NE England.
@@w.d.6722 Chris is awesome from BLOT he’s put his own twist too stealth camping he’s quite entertaining
Yeah that Kent survival guy.. he loves Steve Wallis!
“This Stealth Camp is too easy…. “ then proceeds to tip over the stove and almost set alight the whole embankment. Another great episode Steve, keep them coming. 😎👍🏻
Lol maybe too many "Step two's" lol ;)
Someone drives past and wonders why they smell chicken cooking
Gotta say, since discovering Steve’s channels forever ago, it’s always a pleasure when he uploads. The soft tones of his videos regardless of it’s a stealther or something in a campground is always a great way to unwind with a step two. Love what you do, Steve. Don’t change a thing!
right?!! Its his voice...so calm. He could be a crisis counselor.
@@tracyinkits1 I totally concur!
Yes! Been watching since 2020 and I often just listen at night or while working
I think a lot of youtubers could learn from you, especially camping/vanlife/nature related creators. I like how it's just chill and a reasonable pace, too many people go hard with jump cuts and shouting and drone shots. Sometimes all it takes is a chill guy doing interesting things
Its amazing to me that Steve thinks that we only watch him for stealth camping😂. We watch your videos because your a great man. Kind, honest and sincere in a world thats absolutely crazy.
I could watch you talk about life and lessons youve learned and be just as content. Youve managed to hang onto that inner child most of us only dream we could be.
Absolutely agree!
So true!
Thank you, Steve! You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, love all the videos you make. We've been going through some very difficult losses since the beginning of this year so we appreciate your sense of humour. The look on your face when your rock seat went rolling away, I thought for sure it was going to end up down by the old highway retaining wall. Grateful for the giggles you send our way. Take care.
Steve have you thought about buying a trail camera to set up overnight at your stealth locations? It would be interesting to see what visits while you are sleeping.
Stay strong Steve. If sometimes one day at a time is too much, don't be afraid to just take one moment at a time. We love you no matter where your camping or what your doing. Don't stress so much about trying to please everyone that it takes the fun out of it for you. You have become such a huge part of so many of our lives. We are all here for the good times as well as the rough time. And together we can all get through them all. I remember you saying that you have the best subs Steve and you do. We are here for you. Cheers everybody. Stay strong and be kind
I couldnt have said it better my dear!😊
Well said and true
Totally agree with not stressing about this
Steve, we aren't watching the videos for suspenseful, stealth-camping action. Sure, that's how a lot us found you, it's just how the algorithm works, but it's not why we stay. We stay because of YOU. Your personality, honesty, and just plain wholesomeness is rare, especially on TH-cam. You are lightning in a bottle. You make us feel like a family, like we're there with you. It's something that you can't create an algorithm to filter for on TH-cam. Just keep doing what you love, and the rest of us will be along for the ride.
Facts😊
Incredible as ever, the majestic drone shots really add something. Be well my friend.
Steve, if you don't go, you don't know.
Always great to see you and what you are up too.
Very true
When I watch these, I don’t think in terms how to be sneaky, or get away with something, I think about how to deal with sleeping outside if I absolutely had to. Great tips here!

Perfect. ❤
Thanks for taking us camping with you, Steve! You're awesome❤🙏
OMG my heart was going a bazillion miles an hour as I thought you would going tumbling down to the road in the middle of the night!! Was so relieved when you woke the next morning in one piece! Steve, even the most "mundane" camp with you is never, well, mundane! Charcoaling your dinner, rolling a rock, and the fact on video it looked like your hammock was in a precarious position made it a Classic Steve vid! I can't wait for the next one (they are a guilty pleasure!). A big thanks to Scott for filming the stake out spot too! Hope you're having fun on the road..and please for all our sakes STAY SAFE!!! Peace and Love from Australia
Thanks Natasha! ❤️
Thanks for the longer video, Steve! I totally would not mind if you made even longer videos, like an hour. I just enjoy watching your videos! 😊😊
I explained your channel to a friend as “Sort of Bob Ross Camps.”
I don’t love camping myself but there’s something’s about your vibe that just puts me at ease
This is therapy with steve. We all need it.
I'll be honest with you Steve, I honestly love all of your spots no matter how stealthy or risky it might be. Your wholesome videos and chats in them leave me with a smile on my face no matter what. I love all your videos and all your camping spots!
Bears and cougars
And I the hammock that is cocoon ,I 3ould not ,want ,not bsit today ..water animals
The fact that you are getting out there and doing this stealth camping under the circumstances is admirable. Many of us in 'same boat' understand what you are going through personally. Your videos are never boring, don't worry about that! They don't always have to be stealth, which I luv, a combination with seeing all the interesting sites along the way is great too!
I once had a little fiberglass camper and it was set up inside just like yours. I loved the thing! It was so handy doing outdoor antique shows. One day on my way packed to the ceiling with my antiques, the door popped open and my toilet paper UN-scrolled all down the Highway. Good times!
I don’t mind a low key camping experience! A tipped over camping stove inches above the mulch counts as tension for me anyway 😅.
I can’t put into words how awesome it is every time I see you upload a video, and then get to live vicariously. I can’t imagine having the mental fortitude you have, and I hope that life only continues to bring you amazing things! Beautiful wife is with you on every camping trip you go on, watching over you, and ready to call out any risks to your stealthy adventures! Keep kicking life’s ass Steve never let the world get yah down!!
It’s all your fault Steve! I am constantly scanning for areas to stealth camp if there was ever a need! :) Thank you for taking us along!! Another grand adventure 🌲⛺️
I find myself doing that all the time now, too! But hide and seek was always my favorite game, and I never stopped looking for hiding spots.
😅 same
You might try a blue lens light. Like red, blue light is a "stealthier" color and saves your night vision, and you would likely be able to see it better if you have red/green colorblindness. I don't know how it looks on camera though. Anyway thanks for another entertaining episode of Camping with Steve!
Thanks for uploading Steve. It's been a rough couple of days for me dealing with a family member with dementia and it's just been heart breaking but your videos take my mind off things so thank you Steve for all that you do.
I love watching Steve for the peaceful vibes he brings.
He is one of a kind ❤
EXACTLY!!
What a great spot, Steve. When I was a kid traveling with my parents, I used to always look out the car window and up into the woods. I would day dream about what it would be like to make forts and hide out. This was totally right up my alley.
You know we would watch you camp in your living room right? We’d watch you fix furnaces, and build stuff with Crazy Neighbor. We are here for Steve, the man, the myth, the legend! We love you Steve ❤❤❤
Been watching for like 3 years now, and i must say i didn't expect another Stealth camping. I love all of your other stuff, this is interesting too, but throughout all of the journeys you had i think the ones with Crazy Neighbour were the best. Especially one on the frozen lake ice "fishing". Stay safe Steve, stay happy and healthy, and be careful with your hip!
The key to good camping with Steve is nothing exploding or catching on fire. You are once again killing us.
Steve’s Law: the more quietly you try to open the Step 2, the louder it will be. 😂
I enjoy the more relaxed videos these days. 👍🏻
Stealth camping is too stressful, but i still watch all of them. 😁😁
This moment with Steve made my day so much better. My life has been a bit like the cooked chicken and the rolling rock. Just needed a reminder from Steve that everything is going to be ok.
☺️👍🏼👍🏼
This is literally the best part of my week.. I could be having a horrible day and as soon as I see a video from you.. I smile.. Thanks Steve.😊
RIGHT!??!! 🙂
Not every adventure turns out the way you plan it to, but it creates a memory none the less. Looking forward to what you have in store.
Always an adventure!
Steve, joining you each week for camping in unusual places is the main thing. Stealthers with a bit of tension are great but the relaxed ones are wonderful in a different way and I greatly enjoy both. Planning one and ending up with the other doesn't diminish how watchable the video is. Keep it up.
I found your channel a few days ago with the roundabout stealth camp and I have to say it feels like I'm a child again. You do what our inner adventurous infant always wanted. "What if I hide there; no one will find me! Ha". It feels like I'm with a friend or my dad camping and I'm looking at everything with wide-open eyes. Its so much fun, thank you. I hope you feel better soon and wish you all the best!
Have fun with the backlist 😊
What better way to relax than watch Steve stealth camp! No matter where you camp Steve, its never boring to me. Take care and God Bless
Former chef here, that pan wasn't hot enough in the spot where you put the chicken that the coating fell off of, and was too hot on the side that burnt the chicken. Just try to elevate the pan a bit next time so it can heat evenly :) (Side note, cook for a decade before I went to school to be a chef, not one anymore, but my chef's finals were of course cooking. I brought in my cast irons, everyone made fun of me. By the end of the competition professor chef said it was a good idea and the entire class was asking me where to get them. I had no clue, ours were handed down - who knows how old they are. Get a light weight cast iron skillet, you can more easily avoid this problem.)
Great, relaxing video. Keep up the great work brother. 👍
Love your videos Steve, I always get excited when you post a new one 😂
Seeing people like you in this world gives me a lot of hope. You are an amazing person and i wish you all the best. Thanks for this interesting, non provocative, chill content.
Going camping for a week in the mountains starting tomorrow, my 3rd trip ever, and I only started after seeing your videos. All inspired by you! Thank you Steve!
Hey Steve, I actually watched this one out of order, after your next claustrophobic one, and this low key, calm, no chance of anyone finding you vibe was just what I needed to calm my anxiety over the next one! Shout out to Doug the Slug (little tease for the next video) which put me in mind of Doug and the Slugs, a Canadian band started in the late 70s in the neck of the woods where you have been camping out as of late (well close anyway, they started in Vancouver and I am guessing you are actually on the island). So shout out to Doug and the Slugs too!
Best part of my Thursday is when I see the notification that Steve posted a video. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos Steve, I hope you’re doing well 💙
You aren't kidding
I’m so early, Steve is still living in his camper. Looking great, Steve! Hope your doing well, friend! 🍺
I'm taking my family out camping tomorrow. It's regular thing we do since we started watching Steve a few years back. Thanks Steve! I'll definitely be having a 'step 2' in your honor...
Me too with a 9% Ale, Cheers everybody!
these videos bring me so much comfort thanks steve you're amazing
Red lights impacts night vision less than other colours. For stealth it is no better than white or yellow at similar intensity.
The stealth utility is that you can use it only briefly to check a map of similar and then still see something when you shut it off.
At lower intensity blue light is less noticable in the dark than other colors. You can use this as a light source at ground level because while the light is stealthy the light source itself won't be.
I prefer to just stick to the same warm white as streetlights. Because anyone out at night is going to see that colour of light cast from 100 different sources and a small twinkle in a bush looks indistinguishable from a streetlight half a mile away behind the bush.
You have saved some many life's by do what you do brother .all the best to you
I’m one of the few that’s here because you camp. Not because it’s stealthy. That’s just an interesting factor to you that I never asked for. Loved the episode. Love the channel.
Doesn't matter where you park or what you do. You have fantastic videos.
Keep up the good work Steve
