Hunkering Down Camping In Treehouse With Pantry Meal
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มี.ค. 2020
- I managed to get out to the treehouse to film a quick camping video for this Thursday. We are about a week away from being out on the acreage for good, so things will smooth out and resume the typical upload schedule. Cheers to all and please hunker down and stay safe out there.

Please don’t change your style, no music in the background, no b-roll. Thanks. Just raw material.
If you watch his old documentary Boondocking, there's lots of background music and b-roll and the style is just very different. Great either way.
Yea these camp guys always get a few thousand subs and decide they need B-roll and shitty country music in the background
Ok yeah make your demands but you go ahead and pay him then. His channel. He can do whatever he wants with it. Thanks.
No cartoon drop-in’s
DaveJones Gaming if we watch his content than technically we are paying him, he makes money from ad revenue which he gets from “us”, how is that hard to understand pea brain
"for some reason, everything seems to be closed" LOL
I'm glad that he didn't say the reason. Sick of hearing it. The new C-word.
If he says Coronavirus youtube will demonetize right away, lots of channels are doing the same .

Wait... Really??
Joe Robinet keeps refering to "it" as swine flu, bird flu, ebola....he knows whats out there just selective in his words based on TH-cams current algorithms.
The fact you suggested people donate to something else says a lot about you Steve. You’re a great guy, mate. We all get enjoyment out of your videos and wish you all the best and you seem like a really decent person. Stay healthy and safe.
Totally agree
“The biggest thing that I’m concerned about to be honest right now is that this thing is going to fall apart.” -every guy who’s ever put
anything together while drinking
Just made a bookshelf. Can confirm
Shit I rebuilt my car drunk
like... *my life
I added some support to my bed frame and I think about it every night
its less the drinking and more the qualification
Steve is THE BEST quarantine entertainment. Hunkering down in Florida 🤙🏻
He's isolating the shit out of himself.
I agree the middle of nowhere sounds great to me.
Stay safe!
Same here in Florida. What town are you located at?
Mate, hunkering down in Queensland Australia...be safe buddies
Steve, my goal in life is to have as chill of a temperament as you do. The whole world seems to have lost it's collective mind, and your video brought me back to the reality that everything's ok and we're all gonna be good. Thanks, bro
We will be alright but it seems we might have to fight to live a free life. These "world leaders" seem to all envy China so they are trying it in tbeir country. The "stay safe OR ELSE" attitude should be a huge wakeup call for everyone.
"Rughts aren't rights if someone can just take them away"
Agreed though, these videos remind me of what I want, a simple life.
Shit he prolly just "hunkerin" down and dodgin the FEDS! LOL he lookeded kinda nervous and shit like he been out there cooking shake and bake dope and getting his daily fluid intake from yankee steel RESERVE. Dont set the 32 oz. Gatorade bottle down and dont stop swirlin it or it'll blow up on ya.. jkjk .... no but for real I bet it's way easier to get ephedrine up there huh? ..... oh well there ain't been real dope since the 80s anyway.. stay off the crack and dont do the FLOCKA FLOP..! 👌
Steve is currently my therapy for getting thru covid-19, oh!- and also the Pocket Girls, them too.
@@Quoteunquot3 yeah the other day resident in thief said it was his job to protect Americans.
WRONG. It's his job to protect the constitution and secure our rights!!
His vids relax me and make me wish all I had to do in life was live off the land and hunker down.
The intro killed me “welcome to camping with Steve, I’m Steve well let’s get at it” lmao
Yeah, "welcome to Camping with Steve. I'm Steve".
NO WAY
Steve: “There’s a lot of air gaps in here”
Tarp in background: Blows gently wide open in the breeze 😅
Seriously. Like why not tuck it inside.
That tarp blowing wide open was killing me.
I was like, Steve, dude, it may be a little warmer in there with the heater if you tighten down that tarp flap in the back behind you. And," The snow must have gotten in through the gaps in the boards," as the tarp flaps open gently in the breeze behind him. 😂😂😂 Keep up the great content Steve!
whats a tarp when youve got propane?
I’m dying. “The trees are getting bigger” the boards dried out, steve
I know, I'm laughing, it is killin' me.
Funnier if he puts them tight now when it gets warm and humid and they expand.
The tree house is bolted to 4 trees, thats what he ment🤦🏻♂️
This is why we use seasoned wood.
Don't trees grow like Jack and the Bean Stalk? hahaha
“for some reason everything’s closed”. And a Corona beer. Steve’s got jokes!
I been laughing about that.
We can't find a moving company "for some reason" LOL...this guy is GREAT!
I wonder what the reason was? Hmm...
There’s a quiet modesty and a kindness to these videos that just soothe the soul.
U seem like one of the most genuine and no bs guy I have ever seen on TH-cam. Keep it up.
He is. 💞
my opinion too....
He definitely is
You now realize why he has over half a million subscribers and gets millions of views
rest of the world: What are we going to do about this pandemic?
Steve: I want a hotdog.
I'm going to build a treehouse like Stephen hunker down.
9 Lives And Counting ok boomer
@9 Lives And Counting survivalist? i dont think you know what survivalist means cause camping aint it
I’m not sure he knows about the pandemic.
@@eganfo he's drinking a Corona tho
Dude. You're an adult with a tree house. Damn I'm jealous!
Who is using frying oil and dollar store sparklers to make a bon fire...
I'm more jealous of his 24 acres...
@@nithshithhith4398 and the no internet, wonder what thats like. does the ringing go away steve?
"We built this thing without a level, and without a plan..." 🤣
Strange how youtube works, but you start to grow attached to the people you watch. You start wondering how their doing, and if they are alright. Steve, hope everything is OK with you bud. Love your content, love your realness. You seem like an everyday Canadian I would hang out with. God bless, love the civil war era moustache lol. you wear it well
Why not pray for them? I do, I ask in the name of Jesus that God blesses these TH-camrs, makes them and their families invisible to the enemy, and has mercy on their souls that they may find God Almighty and spend eternity with him.
I always think this and thought this when i found this while stuck in bed with a tyroid thing. I just watched something random and it became a great show and way to pass time when I really need it.
Kind of a reality version of “Red Green Show” for the 21st century. Love the show thanks for the distraction, we need it.
I am a man, i can change, if i have too, i guess
Jon Johnson when my younger brother and I discovered Red Green back in the 1970s not many of our American friends shared our love for the show, but I still watch it to this day, thanks to U-Tube. Keep Your Stick on the Ice.
James Summerlin youtube is a wonderful place, eh?
I recall a sketch called “the winter of our discount tent” on red green.
Steve, your boards have spaces because they've been outside in the dry Alberta climate losing moisture, which causes them to shrink. All the best from your neck of the woods.
Shrink indeed .
Yep...the green treated decking boards I used horizontally on the walls of my treehouse shrank too once they dried out...have quarter inch gaps between all the boards...and they aren't even screwed to real trees (6" x 6" beams sunk into the ground vertically)...so I know the tree growth was a non factor. Besides, the trees moisture is in the roots during winter...so they're not growing right now.
Yes, exactly this.
Yes, came to the comments to find this.
Steve never heard of shrinkage? :-P
Wood Planks: We shrink as we dry out
Steve: I think the trees are getting bigger
Haha hilarious
Those would be some huge trees if they grew that fast. lol
Aldy I would have not thought wood that has been laid out on a place for who knows how long would have had any shrink left in them.
I learned about wood shrinking after building a pier and spacing the boards with a piece of base trim, by the time the new green wood dried out you could drop a phone between some of the planks.
Jason Burson yea totally I hear ya, thing is wood constantly swells and shrinks based on its moisture content (if were gettin technical lol) so I mean hell, if it sat there and got rain on er, it would swell, then dry out and shrink. Rinse and repeat! I get a kick out of guys building privacy fences with the boards tucked tight... then a week or two goes by and theyre scratchin the ol noggin askin what happend lol
Aldy down here in Texas it pretty much just dries out and never moistens back up
Jason Burson haha well ya got me there! Stay safe down there south of the border eh! 👍
Watching you just chilling by yourself and enjoying the cold always brings a smile to my face.
Boards shrink always. Especially If They have a decent moisture content prior to installation.
Especially soft wood and that looks like pine.
He didn't sleep outside, he slept in the treehouse. You must be new here.
@Rick Rude you are new to this channel. Go look at what he has done. You will not doubt him. He even has a documentary...
I’ve heard that hemp rope is good for filling in contracting & expanding wooded planks. Tap it in the gaps and it has give and take.
Oakum
@@twohseven YUP!
They actually make foam backer rods of various sizes to fill gaps like that.
What hemp rope?
@Sparkymax lol except you don't smoke hemp 😁
I will continue to watch every second you put out Steve. Please continue doing watch you do. Thanks so much for countless laughs and relaxing step 2's. We love you man!
Legend has it that the trees are still getting bigger somehow
How are they doing that? Haha.
Great Steve thanks alot. Needed this distraction. Hunker down has a global meaning now. Stay safe from the UK.
Steve, we’re gonna need some “hunker down” or “step 2” beer koozies! Stay well!
Yes! For sure
Please!!
I would buy some too
yes Steve, Beer Koozies please .......
Yeah I would buy a nice simple beer koozie for like 5 or 10 bucks
Steve Your videos calm me down and are therapeutic for my depression, I appreciate it Sir , keep up the good work !
"I know I'm sitting in a forest full of wood, but..." - pulls out bag of dollar store wood. "The biggest thing that I’m concerned about to be honest right now is that this thing is going to fall apart.” - 5min later: "This thing sure creaks up here" - continues talking about canned chicken. Steve is the best.
I love the little Easter eggs in this video. "All of the moving companies are gone for some reason", proceeds to open up a Corona Step-2. Lol.
Only Steve would pull out a bottle of Corona when the Corona virus is at large . Stay safe everyone . Awesome video as usual Steve.
Tommy Ray pfffft
Sales are down on Corona! Need to support the beer!
@@BeesBikinis Hopefully the prices are down too.
@@BeesBikinis I hope you haven't lost your job yet, so you dont have to explain that to your children. I did. Its been 11 days since I lost my job as a chef. Im still waiting on my first $200/ week unemployment check. People are really screwed because of this covid-19. So please dont encourage jokes making fun of it. I REALLY dont know what im gonna do. So either shut up, or start trying to make the world a better place
Good price, no doubt!
He uses so many different things to start fires with: sparklers, doritos, flame thrower....hand sanitizer.
gas.fryer oil lol
I was just thinking the same thing. Sparklers are always the first thing I think of when I’m starting a camp fire. 🤣
grease from take out food
And used tea lights
Doritos are a primo late night snack.
I like this a lot very very wholesome , he corrects his self as if we’re there with him , I like his style he’s authentic and only tries to be himself this shit rocks man , you gotta keep being you never change .
Some people listen to gentle music or sounds of nature to relax themselves before bed.
I hunker down with the sounds of Steve camping!
wood moves, thus the invention of "tongue and groove" .. you built with wet wood and it shrank, by using a tongue and groove the wood can expand and contract without gaps.. is easier than it sounds.
Dave Satosky you sir are absolutely correct. I said out loud why they shrank when Steve was thinking about it lol
@T Wilson id love to, advice can also be helpful. bruh lol
Shove some moss or.... Newspaper the gaps since everything seems to be covered with flippin snow
@@mumfordalien1794 Mud works, too.
Overlapping ship lap works best then there is no horizontal gap. Water sheds of the lower edges. You can still do it with square edge boards if that’s all you have.
My cat enjoyed hearing the chicken can open, and the tomato can fooled him.
It's great to see Steve in a video where he is not worried about being "booted" off from where he is camping! But i really enjoyed those vids the most!
Wood shrinks in cold weather as well as when it dries out causing gaps
Yeah, winter air is much drier than it seems, drys those boards out good and proper.
Lots of ways to fix what he has there though. Ship lap is probably the way to do it. The bigger problem is the tarps and keeping the trees together, and hopefully the roof is good-to-go.
Is that a corona beer? We call that vaccine in my house.
Nice
Full send eh?
@Amy Sternheim Eyyyy
I bought a case of Modelo sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire.
lime for your corona
Lmaooo...the "for some reason" kills me every time😂😂😂
Steve, thank you for being you and embodying the spirit of hunkering down, something all of us are doing right now for the good of the world. Your videos help me get through the times I don't feel so positive about this outbreak. I wish you good health and I look forward to the future times you hunker down in Hunkertown.
Recycle your cans and line the wood wall in flat sheets reflect some heat and light
Well, Steve... Ya built with warm morning wood and then left the fly down. Shrinkage is inevitable. Always keep your wood warm, the misses will thank you.
Lol @ " Warm Morning wood"!
😂✔💯👍
I was in the pool, I WAS IN THE POOL!
jamie - thank you for that great laugh.
The rest of the world: I didn't get my stimulus check.
Steve: Eats a hotdog & hunkers down
being canadian is a fucking luxury dude idk what your smoking. I could've gone up there myself since I was bordering it but I decided I liked things more southern and less cold. not everybody who needs a stimmy is a wasteful person
@@jennytalia6724 exactly. That cheque stopped me and my family from living on the streets from what COVID did to us financially
This is Steve mostly drinking beer whilst living like the homeless. perfect.
did he git a building permit ?
@@sandymoonstone855 U R kidding right? At least in Virginia (usa), you can build a treehouse in your own woods.
Steve gets it. He understands what life is about. People get soooo caught up in the rat race of life and meanwhile Steve is very happy hunkering down.
Now who looks like a crazy person camping alone in the woods, well, it's still Steve but now we're more envious.
Buys an acreage...builds a tree house. Now you’re camping with Steve!
pleonardjr love it
@T Wilson The moment he protects it, he loses it all in court fees. Welcome to Canada
@T Wilson Now all the thieves know he's got "pantry food" in there. He'll never be safe again!
6:19 I like that Steve only suspects that Crazy Neighbor was the one who built the bench from the treehouse scraps. They were the only two people we saw working on the treehouse in the video when it was being built. If not Steve or Crazy Neighbor, then who? Is somebody stealth building on Steve's acreage?
now stealth building, thats some content.
😂
Other channels I watch - I'm going to start this fire using a primitive now drill and wet wood. If that doesn't work I'll cheat and use this ferro rod.
Steve - I brought along two gallons of cooking and oil and pack of sparklers its going to be lit.
Haha I love it
Why am I watching some dude in his treehouse eating “ pantry food” and I can’t stop. Weird.
I'm right with ya. Unexplainable.
That's what I said two years ago
"Its not too cold out here today," he says. Snow on the ground and the beer is frozen. That's cold in my book. Love the tree house. Watched you and crazy neighbor build it.
Can't stop watching your videos, I seen them all a couple of times. Great work Steve. Very enjoyable content.
Steve: "It's pretty quiet"
*snowmobiles revving loudly in the background*
"We cant find a moving company...for some reason..." **drinks Corona** Steve you sly dog you 🤣
Im from SK and was at the bar last week and a lady mentioned she wanted another step 2. Then proceeded to spread your channel to other patrons
Cool....
@@skasgardenit was actually because Steve wasnt nearly at the subscriber count he is now.
This video his home, I just had one of my lifelong dreams come true and was able to buy some beautiful property here in Western New York. I’m looking forward to camping on it, and if you are out this way you could too.
God luck friend. I was born and raised in the Catskills. Been in MN for the last 42 years or so. Miss the hills and farms, but I now love the lakes and fishing, etc. I hope to retire to about a 40 acre lot and live in a nice cabin.
Imagine Steve playing poker against Ray Mears and Les Stroud.
"I see your fire bow and steel striker and raise you a sparkler and some used cooking oil"
Would be a hell of a game 😅
We’re all currently hunkering down with this coronavirus going on.
Lived in a tiny log cabin in the 90's In interior of BC. Christmas95 was so cold and windy one night I woke up cold. Thought geez is colder than usual. Looked from my loft bed and thought well those Christmas lights way up the hill there look cool. Almost was asleep again when I realized that there was no window in that wall! Was so cold the birch logs shrunk and the moss chinking blew out in the high winds. I could put my hand through in places. Have a feeling the boards shrunk on you.
Enjoyed reading that little story! :)
@@lloydus_maximus Thanks!
Steve drinking a corona really adds to the level of this video 😂 also opening it up with a ratchet strap lmao
I find Steve’s voice very soothing & relaxing
He should narrate.
Daily Reminder:
Steve was Hunkering Down before Hunkering Down went Viral
"...no police helicopters ... yet."
Steve, I just watched your boondocking vid from 3 yrs. ago and the transformation your life’s love has made in you is an inspiration and a testament to her, and yourself. May God bless your house and your union.
the way he whipped out that pan was beautiful
My guess on the tracks: pugs chasing a chupacabra.
Gotta be it
😂😂😂
He's in Canada, clearly it was a heard of angry Wendigo's!
Yeti running from kid with camera!
I’m hunkering down in a rental house I’m rehabbing. Twin mattress left by previous owner. A tarp over it and a couple of moving blankets. At least the furnace works!! Stay safe Mr Steve. Wish I had a step two right about now.
“Step 2 is going to occur right... now” deep breath in followed by sip of brew “oh yeahh” 😂😂 you killed me Steve
Don't change. I dig your "I am what I am" comfort in your own skin. Your unique, unpretentious, honest.
You're a breath of fresh air on media filled with anger and hate. Don't change!
Hey Look, it's Camping with Steve.. We used to build tree houses all the time as kids. You may have to move it to some older trees that don't move as much with wind. But hey try and try again. Time for step two's.
I love your innovative camping techniques, I couldn't quit laughing when you built that fire. So easy, peasy, I just love it! So glad you and beautiful wife bought that land - - - you're timing was impeccable!.
Living vicariously through your videos Steve. I just found your channel a few weeks ago and already hooked! Cheers to you
"No police helicopters overhead. Yet." Yeah, bro...story of my life.
“It doesn’t taste very disgusting” Lol. You’re hilarious!
Looks like the wall boards shrank when they dried out. If they get wet they should swell shut again.
Yep, I agree.
One of your most simple and yet most lyrical videos. What a beautiful shot of your paradise at 9:40 ... I cant tell you enough just how much I love your content. Thank you!!
Steve is as wholesome as they come!
Loved the suggestion on the donations.
We love your videos and always join you in your step 2.
Greetings from Miami, FL.
Cheers Steve 🍻
As an experienced deer stand builder I can tell you that trees sway, and that is probably part of your structural problems. Just wait until you have leaves on the trees to catch the wind. Your four corners will twist and turn in some funky ways. If you really want to build a tree fort it sort of needs to float up in the tree, not totally secured in a typical fashion to a sturdy complete base. Good luck!
Trees grow from the top. I am pretty sure your boards shrank. They should swell back in the summer to some extent.
What a great way to start a fire, lol. It's making me re-imagine how a fire should be started. Love it, Steve.
It's the most ratchet way I've ever seen a fire started and I've gone camping with some absolute morons
@@brettridings5594 and that's why its brilliant
I just tripped across your Channel Steve and Kool the way you're keeping it real. This was entertaining as hell to watch. Haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Subscribed.
Our entire state got told to Hunker Down by the Governor of indiana. Soon as he said it me and my beautiful wife both said "Steve!!!"
Hoosier Outdoor nice to see a fellow Hoosier who enjoys Steve’s wholesome videos
Hey fellow Hoosiers. Stay safe y'all. 🙏
I'm not the only Hoosier! Hunker Down!
Hunkering down on the west side of the great state of Indiana. Should have let that wood dry out before construction. Working my 2 days a week at my essential job selling auto parts. Retirement otherwise is fabulous. Had a pot o beans over a fire for supper as beautiful wife had several Step 2's.
It’s been a common phrase long before Steve was even born.
Just got my Hunker Down t-shirt earlier this week. Now I can truly Hunker Down™ while I hunker down and watch Steve on my TH-cams hunker down.
Steve, your property looks beautiful. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in the spring, summer, and fall. Nice PSA by the way.
Thank you Steve for your videos. I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos with everything that's going on around the world and you moving to your new home must be quite the stress. I have quite a bit of catching up with your old ones and the best part is I have a lot of time to watch 👍 I'm also very glad you've included atv in your video ( this is how me and buddies camp... ride to the Bush and set up before sunset) also, me and my wife will be waiting for your new ones every Thursday :-) Cheers bud * from friendly Manitoba*
LOL having a Corona while wondering why everything is closed. Classic. Keep it up dude!
The tree didn't grow that much in that time.... The wood dried out n shrank lol Exposure.. Sun.. Air.. Time...
Unless I am mistaken, trees don't grow that way. That is why you can carve initials into a tree and come back later to find them at the same spot, or rather at the same height.
Lighting a fire with old cooking oil and sparklers is why I keep coming back here.
You are the man Steve. I enjoy you laid back approach and tasty recipes. You always can find alternative ways to make things work out. Fox bless and watch the steps. Keep Hunkering down my friend
Man! I was just off to bed having binge watched a few more Camping with Steve videos. But I can't go to bed now without watching this one...
Good to see you! I can’t count the times recently I’ve heard doctors, government officials, TH-camrs and the like say “Hunker Down”. ‘Till later!
“The trees are getting bigger somehow”
I was dying when you said that.
Oh my. It is binge time. I just discovered Steve today. I have to go to work tomorrow, but I have several hours before I have to "Hunker Down". Camping in a highway median. I guess I am not the only one that has thought of that and Steve actually does it!!
“THERE WAS SHRINKAGE! THE WINTER WAS COLD!”
Do we have to explain that one! LOL
That's what she said !
@@lovinitall6639 that was a good one
glad your doing well so far through this pandemic.
I am amazed that there's still snow.. Love watching your stuff.. It's freaking 90° outside here, snow just seems like, "is this an old video or what"? Wow at snow still hard to believe.
Still snow, it’s usually gone by now (or mostly gone) but this year is awful!
Simple life . Gratitude = heaven on Earth . Thanks for sharing Steve
Honestly in my eye , you and beautiful wife are the epitome of cool .
I love watching you start a fire. Never know what technique you'll use 😆
You're right. These are some stressful times for many people. Glad you have some open spaces around to keep you and beautiful wife safe n healthy. Keep keeping it real man by not worrying about things beyond our control and asking your beer fund donations to go somewhere more useful. 👍Stay home and keep healthy.
Steve is the greatest American who ever lived. I am jealous of his lifestyle. Truly. Always remember to HUNKER DOWN
There’s something very cosy about your Hunkering down that I love to watch to relax when I hunker down for the night
