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.
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.
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..! 👌
@@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!!
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!
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.
“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
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.
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.
@@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
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!
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!
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.
"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.
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
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!.
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 .
I just have to say man, you're the best out there right now. I love bushcraft and all that stuff, but I absolutely just love seeing you out there having fun camping without spending thousands of dollars to have the best of the best equipment. Here's having a Step 2 in your honor good sir!
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.
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!
You’re in a fortunate position to keep working and blessing those that are quarantined. Make a video every day! Good for you...... good for us......and remember..... 🙏
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.
"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.
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.
So boards shrink and warp in the cold I suggest pinning up emergency blankets to help insulate. Cheers Steve I love your content very raw and wholesome and awesome thank you for the great vibes and great content 👍
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!
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.
Seeing you standing in snow makes me smile. I’m in Fort Worth TX, and the trees are all blooming, Thursday (3 days ago) it was 86°f. My neighbors video captured a rat snake that was sneaking up the wall near their ring door bell 😂 all the wild life is in full spring mode, coyotes, squirrels, Jeffe the possum, and my wild birds. Wood peckers, Cardinals, Blue Jays, 3 pairs of Mouring Doves, etc. oh, THANK YOU for not sowing the “blood bath” my imagination fills in the blanks just fine. Stay warm and Hunkered Down!
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.
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.
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!!
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful wife "I have family coming to help us pack up some of these things tonight!" Steve "Awesome you wont be alone tonight. love ya, headed to the camp..." LOL!! Looks like an awesome place to be! Thanks for sharing!
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
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.
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 🍻
Get some Simpson quick ties for the tree house. My step 2 would be wine or hard liquor. Yes I am a female. Would love to have an acreage love yours. Your videos make me happy, thanks.
Hi Steve,just wanted to say my wife and I found your channel by mistake.wtf we watched,it was fun watching you.Being scared about covid 19 we were able to watch all night and were relaxed.We told a friend about you also.I liked the vid about the C.P.RR Being a part time railroad buff.I tried to make 2 vids last summer but that's as far as it went.I do ebay and it is very slow right now so have been watching more youtube.We are staying hunker down the best as we can.Will be watching more of you even if your camping in your own living room.
In my village in England, they reduced the price to £10 for 10 bottles per pack. I think they're desperate to sell it out as quickly as possible. Normally, it was expensive. On that note, just bought myself a pack and I'm gonna enjoy them. Bargain!
I love that ya left in the tripod dropping. Not sure why, but it's things like that add to the real connection to your videos. Thanks for helping us who can't get out there to hunker down be able to live through your experiences. Much appreciated 👍
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.
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.
Your amazing mate. Not too be too Over the top. Your videos helped me through depression. I’ll thank you for being an inspiration mate. Thank you. Keith. England.
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*
Hi Steve! I love the cooking segments of your videos!I have tried many of your recipes and they were quite good! Hunker Down! Sending love and hugs to you, Beautiful Wife, Crazy Neighbor, and Garbage!
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
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

Totally agree
There’s a quiet modesty and a kindness to these videos that just soothe the soul.

@T Wilson Now all the thieves know he's got "pantry food" in there. He'll never be safe again!
There’s something very cosy about your Hunkering down that I love to watch to relax when I hunker down for the night
These hunker down videos help me find my sleep. So thank you 👍🏿 from Morocco 🇲🇦
You have the most inventive ways to start fires. None of that silly birch bark and pine needles for Steve 😄
Uhhhhh birchbark is the best natural firestarter???
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.
Can't stop watching your videos, I seen them all a couple of times. Great work Steve. Very enjoyable content.
Simple life . Gratitude = heaven on Earth . Thanks for sharing Steve
Honestly in my eye , you and beautiful wife are the epitome of cool .
Thanks Steve, from South Australia. Love your work! Stay safe all
Tough time to have a large project going on at a new home purchase during this time. Best of luck Steve!
Hey Steve. Looks like you moved out of the city just in time will all that is going on. Stay safe and keep up with your awesome videos !!
Looks like the wall boards shrank when they dried out. If they get wet they should swell shut again.
Yep, I agree.
Great job as always !! Step 2 cheers
Beautiful wife "I have family coming to help us pack up some of these things tonight!" Steve "Awesome you wont be alone tonight. love ya, headed to the camp..." LOL!! Looks like an awesome place to be! Thanks for sharing!
Lmaooo...the "for some reason" kills me every time😂😂😂
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
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.
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
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 🍻
“It doesn’t taste very disgusting” Lol. You’re hilarious!
Get some Simpson quick ties for the tree house. My step 2 would be wine or hard liquor. Yes I am a female. Would love to have an acreage love yours. Your videos make me happy, thanks.
When you look up Hunkering Down in the dictionary (verb) it shows a picture of Steve and his treehouse. Love the content!
Steve you are a cut above. Your like a modern day pioneer. You can survive anywhere.
Hi Steve,just wanted to say my wife and I found your channel by mistake.wtf we watched,it was fun watching you.Being scared about covid 19 we were able to watch all night and were relaxed.We told a friend about you also.I liked the vid about the C.P.RR Being a part time railroad buff.I tried to make 2 vids last summer but that's as far as it went.I do ebay and it is very slow right now so have been watching more youtube.We are staying hunker down the best as we can.Will be watching more of you even if your camping in your own living room.
Just noticed Steve is drinking a corona beer. He’s not worried about this pandemic at all. Refreshing
Corona is like the most expensive beer in AB he's actually showing off.
simon-pierre larochelle that’s why he’s only got 1
@@simon-pierrelarochelle4403 shit it costs $250 for 1 here in nyc
In my village in England, they reduced the price to £10 for 10 bottles per pack. I think they're desperate to sell it out as quickly as possible. Normally, it was expensive.
On that note, just bought myself a pack and I'm gonna enjoy them. Bargain!
My cat enjoyed hearing the chicken can open, and the tomato can fooled him.
glad your doing well so far through this pandemic.
Living vicariously through your videos Steve. I just found your channel a few weeks ago and already hooked! Cheers to you
I love that ya left in the tripod dropping. Not sure why, but it's things like that add to the real connection to your videos. Thanks for helping us who can't get out there to hunker down be able to live through your experiences. Much appreciated 👍
Daily Reminder:
Steve was Hunkering Down before Hunkering Down went Viral
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!
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.
Your amazing mate. Not too be too Over the top. Your videos helped me through depression. I’ll thank you for being an inspiration mate. Thank you. Keith. England.
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*
Trees grow from the top. I am pretty sure your boards shrank. They should swell back in the summer to some extent.
I love watching you start a fire. Never know what technique you'll use 😆
Love the vid. Laughed when you said you were satiated. Your camping supper was about as much food as I eat in two days combined.
Hi Steve! I love the cooking segments of your videos!I have tried many of your recipes and they were quite good! Hunker Down! Sending love and hugs to you, Beautiful Wife, Crazy Neighbor, and Garbage!
The simplicity of Steve just living has a wonderous effect on me.
