    Beautiful wife came along on this adventure! (She chooses not to appear on camera for privacy reasons) We had to rent a minivan due to the cramped quarters of our SUV, unlimited miles/km on this rental so we sure put that to good use. We had a storm roll through, some good food, and some laughs as always!

    About 5 months ago my friend told me about this channel. I really didn't get it. "He's just a guy that sleeps in his car, wtf?". What I have come to realize and appreciate, is Steve's encouragement for people to get outdoors, adventure, explore and go beyond their comfort zones. He teaches how to enjoy simplicity in a less than humble world. I'm down for the Subscribe now and will be adding to the views, likes and comments. Good on you Steve, you're doing the God's work.

I have to spend half days in bed .. but I found your videos and the camping and really love the wife! You guys are a younger version of me and hubby 30 years ago.. I just finished. Amazing wildlife video. It was so adorable how both you and beautiful wife saw a new born deer and mom.. I caught myself trying to get mom back in forest! It really shows how you both love nature.. and probably why you do it! Thank you so much.it means a lot to me .. sorry so long...

      Steve is such a humble and kind person, whose enthusiasm for camping is contagious - there is such a sense of happiness and gratitude in his videos that you can't help but just feel good when you watch them. It's like getting out of the city on an adventure with a good friend... a wonderful escape, experienced from the comfort of our own homes. I think the best part, is that it really feels like Steve is just being himself - not putting on a character, not pandering, no script. The effortlessness in his presentation speaks volumes. I follow other TH-camrs who clearly put on a persona, and there's nothing wrong with that, but Steve comes across as genuine as a human can possibly be. It's refreshing, because our encounters with genuinely good people feel fewer and farther between, these days.

      I bet there is a lot of first time camping going on because of Steve's videos. A lot of tents and sleeping bags, etc are selling too. This is the perfect time to camp like Steve who has been social distancing since before anyone heard of it. I camped in a tent for several years and I want to share my favorite item. Bring a small window air conditioner and put it on a milk crate outside the window of your tent. Aim the vents to blow into the window and run the a.c. day and night. I've even seen tents these days with an a.c. spot built in for that very purpose. I cooled my tent that way back in the 90's. Every other camper will be jealous in their hot, stuffy tents while you snooze away in a cool tent.

But man after the first 2 days of using it she hadn’t been bitten once. It’s amazing. The refills are a little pricey but we figured it costs less than $1 a day to keep the mosquitos away and that’s a price I’d easily pay. I love this thing.

    When I was a kid in the 90's we went on a road trip down the ALCAN highway starting up near Whitehorse. Our motor-home broke down within 30 miles of town, so we limped it back to town. It was July 1st, so everything was closed. We ended up bringing it to Canadian tire to get the water pump replaced. We had to stay in town for the long weekend.. I was from a small town in Alaska, so Canadian Tire was the coolest store I had every been to. I still have fond memories of Canadian Tire, and everything Canada.
