I read this comment just as the train rolled through town, during the darkest hour of the night. The crossing is close to my house. Rest peacefully, Stobe. 🚂
I had a sleeping bag that my father gave me when I went away on my first camp at 8, it was army green and he even packed it into a surplus army kit bag. I went on many camps with it, and when the zipper broke dad cut it and Macgyvered it into it's next life, a quilt. I used that quilt for years, I would build forts in the living room with it, use it as a rug to play games on with my friends, and of course cover myself with it on cold nights. It lasted until I was 18 or 19, then it succumbed to one too many washes, was a sad, sad day, to think about it, that was with me for over 50% of my life at that time. I put it back in the army bag, but I sadly lost it somewhere over the past 10 or so years, I miss it, and I miss my dad. Thank you for reminding me of it, it is amazing how an object can become so personal, so cherished, I guess it is all in the memories of the times shared with it. I will always remember that unique smell when you open it up, the smell of campfire, cooking, childhood...cherished times. Now I know why dad wanted to keep it, I think he liked to remember those times too.
Smajs great story. Those smells are instantly recognizable and take you right back to a memory of the moment. Love it. Get another one and get back out in the forests or hills :)
Beaming you so much light . Your dad is so proud of you I feel it and it’s ok you don’t have it in your possession any more as the memory in your heart n soul lives on sir
Never thought I would be nostalgic about an ice fishing tent owned by someone I've never met, but here we are. I started watching around the time that you lived out of the thing while doing the gas fitting training and Ive been along for the ride ever since. Thank you, Steve!
I have worked as Executive Chef in several fine dining restaurants over 35 years, and I highly approve of your methods for the purposes of camping. I wanted to try it.
I haven't been doing okay the past few days. Sister died this time last year. Mom died three weeks from now this year. I'm quarantined and in total isolation. Too much time to think. These videos make me happy and are a welcome distraction. Thanks for making them, Steve.
Nothing like an Everything Bagel 🥯 toasted on a Rusty camp stove with Philly Cream Cheese😂 I’m glad you you still have this tent, it has many documented TH-cam stories 👍
@@AreYouFinnished Fair point, he's a strong contender, but not a clear winner. I think the overall ambience of Townsends edges him out, lots of cosy log cabins and cooking over fires, and period clothing, and reading Dickens in a tavern. Also Jonny Giger is a surprisingly wholesome skateboarding channel lol, best like to dislike ratios I've ever seen, like 1000:1 if I remember right when I used to watch a year or so ago. Well, there's one from a week ago that's 2.3k vs 8.
He's seriously the new millenium Bob Ross. Does he ever swear, get irritated or lose his temper? I think not. Just little happy trees and a 4% beer and all is right in the world.
The last couple of days I have been rewatching the 8 week series when he was living out of that tent while going to trade school! Glad that the old tent will enjoy hunkering down on the acreage!
RIP Jim Stobie. I've been watching all his videos over the last couple of months and was shocked when I found out about his death. Then I realized it happened 5 minutes from my work. Im excited to hear about a stealth video possibly coming soon. Thanks for the video. Cheers from Maryland!
Steve's upload schedule and internet connection has been on point these last few weeks. Really spoiling us with these regular Thursday uploads. Many thanks, great content as always. Stay safe.
Steve... moves off grid where upload speeds rival 1990s dialup. But he uploads edited videos with captions weekly by holding his hand up high to the nearest cell tower. Legend.
RIP to a legend! Like others have said, I started watching this channel when you were hunkering down in this tent while you were going to school. Hope you get as much use and as many good memories with the new tent!
I've been watching you since around 20k I believe and I saw this tent plenty back then. My favorite has to be the night on the other side of the railway fence with crazy neighbor tho. Congrats on all the channel growth as well. We'll miss you tent, rest in tent paradise.
If I ate garlic like Steve I would have to check into a hospital for gastric distress. My God, I would not be able to sleep for three days. I'd have to take out stock in Maalox. Hoowee, somebody call me a doctor. Vaughn
I first started watching you when you were living in this thing! Takes me back as well. My little girl was a baby then and I’d watch your videos while rocking her late at night and it was super chill. Would love to get something like this as I’ve always wanted to do extreme cold camping. Love it!
@@uncleslacks8815 So Steve sleeps under a bridge littered with rat shit and hobo piss in one city, and in a hammock behind a cemetery in another--for just two examples out of many--but he bails out of sleeping in a giant hot tent with a wood stove and a comfortable cot? Makes perfect sense, guy...
@@uncleslacks8815 lol do you think that wood stove in there is just for show, he takes his jacket off, you can hear the wet ground hes walking on, i guess it can melt the frozen earth but somehow cant keep cream cheese thawed out lol... seems legit to me
Sad to see this tent go. I found Steve's channel years ago after searching "Winter Camping"... his video stood out to me because I have the same ice fishing tent as him. He inspired me to take my tent out and camp in Saskatchewan's frigid winters. Good luck with the new tent Steve, you've earned it!
@@jessh4417 Hey Jess! A Merry up & coming Christmas to you & Steve! I hope you both can catch some of nature's wonders coming up, like 1- The Geminiid Meteor Shower. Supposed to happen on 12/13 & 14, so, this coming Sunday & Monday 2- I forget the days, but Sirius takes up a position under the constellation Orion & on the top of it, you might be able to see the Pleides star cluster. 3- of course practically everyone is talking about the alignment between Saturn, Jupiter & although they didn't mention it, Betelguese on 12/21 right after Sundown.
@Jess H glad I could make you smile. I'm fairly new to the channel but I absolutely love the videos! Thanks to everyone involved and all their hard work!
I like the recent 'In the darkest hours of the night' Stobe quote you've done on a couple videos now.. Thank you for keeping the memory and spirit of Jim alive. Please continue to use the phrase.
I completely missed that. I did listen about the garlic butter, but got side tracked when he said a little garlic and dumped what looked like most of a jar in the food.
Steve, I really appreciate this video. Its been a long journey with you that has still many miles to go through. But this video here. Made it feel like my time with you came full circle. The first video I saw of yours was setting this puppy up. Now to see its final day, truly has been a blessing. To many, many more steve videos
My fav part of these videos are how relaxing they are. Some would say boring bc steve is as simple as it gets and every video has the same format. I love it. I have insomnia and work nights, so I either binge 10 episodes in 1 sitting or I get through half a video as I pass out in the morning. This brought back some nostalgia when he used it to camp in his backyard. Awesome and super chill
I think he was supposed to add the cream after the butter and flour cooked down a bit... (a typical roux is melted butter, then cooked flour a bit to remove raw taste, then slowly add cream until a nice cream sauce is formed.). Steve doesn't exactly "eyeball things", he just dumps in the whole container of whatever he bought... (Like how my ex-wife used to cook: "Eh... Throw it all in a pot and stir! The ingredients all end up in your stomach anyway! .. Why does it matter how they are added to the pan!??!" /sigh ) Sure, it's a camp meal, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to half-ass it!
@@vaprex add butter, step 2, add flour, step2, add another step 2, add some of this and that, step 2. And finally let's help wash all this down with a step 2😁
My Friday morning routine for the last year or so consists of drinking my morning coffee watching the latest SW adventure :) Awesome stuff, keep it up Steve!
Most paper bills these days are just mailed copies of what you've already paid via online auto-payments... I don't get the impression that Steve is all *that* much of an anarchist / rebel. (If he was, he would have *loved* having those expired license plates... )
Here's something I never thought I would say...I eagerly anticipate Thursday's hoping that Steve has uploaded a new camping video. The last time I was this enthusiastic about weekly episodes was back when I first discovered Anthony Bourdain many, many years ago (long before CNN). I think Steve has the same "it" factor. (I am definitely NOT saying that I think Steve will go down the same tragic path as Bourdain.) If the fates allow, I think Steve is sitting on the brink of amazing success.
It's great to see the o'l stove out again. I remember when Steve found out that soft wood pellets burned the best and that even empty camp grounds can get high winds. He spent 8 weeks in this while he was going to school.
Man, believe it or not you helped me get through depression. I got inspired to camp watching your videos and it has really changed me. Camping is a beautiful experience for me
@ Dude im am stoked. In every video, steve literally stands in a post card motive and i speechless. I just cannot decide where to go. Its not just hard to imagine how big the country is, its also hard to find a route to travel along. I try to avoid the usual touristic spots. TBH i'd rather live in the woods and help out a family with woodwork and go hiking instead of doing the regular vacation. I hope i manage to sort it all out.
When I was younger I bike-packed from Texas to Missouri and learned that trick from a homeless guy out of Dallas. Apparently it's not uncommon in the stealth camping/hobo world. I ended up trying it out in Oklahoma on the roof of a mattress store that was being remodeled. i used a military surplus backpack back then so I didn't have to hump any other gear up the ladder. I remember it was in the upper 40s fahrenheit and raining so I slept under an overhang at the front of the building behind the sign in my sleeping bag and bivy. I had an inflatable sleeping pad so it was reasonably comfortable, but what I remember most of all was how safe it felt being on high ground with almost no chance of anyone else joining me up there.
@@imaramblins I've dealt with so many people like this at my job (hiring, firing). If they only used half of that effort and ingenuity(?) on more productive things, they could potentially get ahead in life.
WM Luna I hear 👂 ya man / woman. I’ve said the same thing SO many times... if these people nearly as much effort into a real job (especially sales because they’re always so slick lol 😂) they could make SO much money 💰
I have it paused right when the dutch oven comes out... My favorite part, the culinary nightmare begins!!! Wow.. Not bad. Kinda like the raft camping I was blown away then too... I told the wife, it's actually not that bad and she concurred as she could still eat while watching... Even the Gouda is a nice touch. Well done! (and I'm not a celebrity).
We finally got a house with a large back yard down here in Tennessee and plenty of room for a fire pit, and I found an old Ozark Trail tent going through stuff at my Dad's and am planning on a backyard camping trip with my own beautiful wife soon! Thanks for being such a huge inspiration to all of us Steve!
Steveeee. This episode is nostalgic as it gets. I still remember stumbling into your boondocking video and than the second one I followed up with was you in the - 30 in the yard in this tent with the stove. Happy for your new tent but man this one is memory lane. Congrats on the new tent though!
When Steve said "It certainly is cozy in here, ah this old tent has done me well" I felt that. It felt like the end of a school year or semester that you enjoyed and on the last day you are the last person to leave, and shut the lights.
Love it all but my favorite thing is that old stove and the weathered boards it sits upon. When I first found you, Steve, you were camping in this tent and going to school. Since then I've bought 2 Gazelles and a Clam. I camped until late October. Thank you for the inspiration!!😁
I remember living in a army tent as a child in Washington, while my family relocated. The cot you have reminds me of the old army cots we used, except ours had wood framing. Two kids foot to foot on a cot. I loved it!
I bought a cargo trailer and built beds in it for my wife and two kids. Cheap diesel heater and I couldn’t be happier. Cheap, simple, comfortable. I will miss them !!
One of the reasons i love to watch Steves Videos is cause he comes up with some awesome camping ideas. He is humble. He always calls his wife beautiful wife. Thing is if it ever came down to it i am sure steve could survive and be quite content!!!
I saw a folding titanium stove which was much smaller, and looked amazing, in someone else's video. I would seriously look into those for size and portability. I think he used a Cub stove from seekoutside. Looking forward to seeing the new ice fishing tent.
A few months ago Steve said "the darkest hours of the night" in such a way that I knew I had to look it up. Found Stobe, watched a bunch of his vids. So sad he's gone.
Great way to say goodbye. I enjoyed your camping trips using this tent. I think your trips in the new one will be awesome. I like the winter camping trips the best. No bugs andawesome scenery.
Any covered pot you can bake in, can be considered a Dutch oven. The cast iron pot with a lipped lid to allow coals to be placed on top... I believe Napoleon had something to do with it's invention.
I understand your point about nostalgia in never using the tent again. I have a pair of leather and wool mitts I have had for 7 years, and fell the same way. Holes and singe marks in the corners, where many times protected me from flames of the fire, or chopping wood in -40. They finally were retired when the left hand palm simply split open...leaving a three inch gap. Love your videos
Bittersweet. I remember watching your series when you used this things for weeks at a time while you were at school. One memorable memory is when you built the homemade shower and had a hot shower out of melted snow in the middle of winter in this things. Great times. I hope you get to make even better memories in your new tent! Thanks for these awesome videos, Steve!
Loved the 8 weeks of camping in that shack. Certainly got your use out of it. Looking forward to seeing the new one put through the motions. Think the wood stove in the tree house is a great idea.
One minute after posting and there's already 33 comments! So happy to see you so popular Steve! Would love to see you cook a nice poutine some time! 🇨🇦
Steve, still always so excited to make videos. You are always smiling and looking happy when you are filming. Today i tested out my Camp Chef stove for the first time, and picked up an insulated tent just like this one for hot tenting.
Hey Steve..enjoy your videos..I have to say i am a little moved and touched as you are saying goodbye to your trusty tent..you guys have been through a lot togethere..i can't help but feel it actually reminds me of when two people are breaking up..you know..well you go your way and i'll go my way..lol..best of luck with future tent, and many happy memories will be created..cheers Steve..Larry from Hamilton,On. " CHEERS"
Thanks Steve for the farewell video to the old ice fishing shack. The very first videos of yours I watched were when you went to School and you camped for 8 weeks. I loved those videos and loved the tent, I thought it was appropriate you had this farewell video for a tent that has been with you on so many camping adventures! It’s been fun watching them!
The stove looks too warm. The scenery around the tent is so beautiful. I'm glad to see your great video again. From Woongkham, a South Korean TH-camr. 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
I love camping with Steve through the darkest hours of the night

Great channel keep up the good work
So trur
Does anyone else love the sound of well seasoned firewood clinking together? Sounds like relaxation.
Not really. I love rain hitting the tent though ! Makes me sleeeepy
Yes, the wood clinking is music to my ears :) and the crackling and poppling of the fire.
watching Steve being so nostalgic about his tent makes me...nostalgic for his tent! great video as always

Dang. Remember when Steve was in trade school and was using this tent for weeks? A camping with Steve classic.
I was wondering if that was this tent
That’s was one of my favorites, then the camping on the makeshift boat apparatuses was second
I have worked as Executive Chef in several fine dining restaurants over 35 years, and I highly approve of your methods for the purposes of camping. I wanted to try it.
Am i the only one that his videos are helping me sleep and feel cozy?
I have a Beamer in my bedroom that plays his videos right when I go to sleep. I love sleeping to his content
Not the only one at all!
I haven't been doing okay the past few days. Sister died this time last year. Mom died three weeks from now this year. I'm quarantined and in total isolation. Too much time to think. These videos make me happy and are a welcome distraction. Thanks for making them, Steve.

"Using garlic butter to cut out one of the steps"....proceeds to add a half jar of garlic. Now you're camping with Steve!

I remember it was in the upper 40s fahrenheit and raining so I slept under an overhang at the front of the building behind the sign in my sleeping bag and bivy. I had an inflatable sleeping pad so it was reasonably comfortable, but what I remember most of all was how safe it felt being on high ground with almost no chance of anyone else joining me up there.
This guy took that one step further... Until he got busted.

Roofers (and painters) are a special bunch.
@@imaramblins I've dealt with so many people like this at my job (hiring, firing). If they only used half of that effort and ingenuity(?) on more productive things, they could potentially get ahead in life.
WM Luna I hear 👂 ya man / woman. I’ve said the same thing SO many times... if these people nearly as much effort into a real job (especially sales because they’re always so slick lol 😂) they could make SO much money 💰
I have it paused right when the dutch oven comes out... My favorite part, the culinary nightmare begins!!! Wow.. Not bad. Kinda like the raft camping I was blown away then too... I told the wife, it's actually not that bad and she concurred as she could still eat while watching... Even the Gouda is a nice touch. Well done! (and I'm not a celebrity).
I'll be honest, I miss these videos with this tent and your stove. Those were some amazing videos.
I like that you show how to cook while camping. It has helped me to make menus for my own camping trips.
We finally got a house with a large back yard down here in Tennessee and plenty of room for a fire pit, and I found an old Ozark Trail tent going through stuff at my Dad's and am planning on a backyard camping trip with my own beautiful wife soon! Thanks for being such a huge inspiration to all of us Steve!
Steveeee. This episode is nostalgic as it gets. I still remember stumbling into your boondocking video and than the second one I followed up with was you in the - 30 in the yard in this tent with the stove. Happy for your new tent but man this one is memory lane. Congrats on the new tent though!
When Steve said "It certainly is cozy in here, ah this old tent has done me well" I felt that.
It felt like the end of a school year or semester that you enjoyed and on the last day you are the last person to leave, and shut the lights.
Love it all but my favorite thing is that old stove and the weathered boards it sits upon. When I first found you, Steve, you were camping in this tent and going to school.
Since then I've bought 2 Gazelles and a Clam. I camped until late October.
Thank you for the inspiration!!😁
I remember living in a army tent as a child in Washington, while my family relocated. The cot you have reminds me of the old army cots we used, except ours had wood framing. Two kids foot to foot on a cot. I loved it!
The darkest hours of the night! I love it. I’m a Stobe fan as well. I love your videos. Keep it up Steve.
I bought a cargo trailer and built beds in it for my wife and two kids. Cheap diesel heater and I couldn’t be happier. Cheap, simple, comfortable. I will miss them !!
You are so down to earth camper and human, love your videos.
Thank you for the videos really love to watch them.
Step two, you rock.
One of the reasons i love to watch Steves Videos is cause he comes up with some awesome camping ideas. He is humble. He always calls his wife beautiful wife. Thing is if it ever came down to it i am sure steve could survive and be quite content!!!
You seem to be a good and humble person. Keep up the good work!
Love the video this week Steve! Looks so cozy. Makes me want to winter camp!
I saw a folding titanium stove which was much smaller, and looked amazing, in someone else's video. I would seriously look into those for size and portability. I think he used a Cub stove from seekoutside. Looking forward to seeing the new ice fishing tent.
“The darkest hours of the night.” Steve, how’d you know I’ve been binge watching Stobe’s old adventures all week?
I miss him so much rip
@@licksquid13 man you are right. Really was a great guy.
heard him say that then came to check the comments. rip stobe
A few months ago Steve said "the darkest hours of the night" in such a way that I knew I had to look it up. Found Stobe, watched a bunch of his vids. So sad he's gone.
dude!!! i was looking to see who called out that stobe shoutout. cant believe this hahaha im dying. RIP Stobe!!!
Great way to say goodbye. I enjoyed your camping trips using this tent. I think your trips in the new one will be awesome. I like the winter camping trips the best. No bugs andawesome scenery.
Any covered pot you can bake in, can be considered a Dutch oven. The cast iron pot with a lipped lid to allow coals to be placed on top... I believe Napoleon had something to do with it's invention.
I understand your point about nostalgia in never using the tent again. I have a pair of leather and wool mitts I have had for 7 years, and fell the same way. Holes and singe marks in the corners, where many times protected me from flames of the fire, or chopping wood in -40.
They finally were retired when the left hand palm simply split open...leaving a three inch gap.
Love your videos
Bittersweet. I remember watching your series when you used this things for weeks at a time while you were at school. One memorable memory is when you built the homemade shower and had a hot shower out of melted snow in the middle of winter in this things. Great times. I hope you get to make even better memories in your new tent! Thanks for these awesome videos, Steve!
Sad to say bye to anything that has brought you so many good times but you will always have the memories ...
As a senior member of TH-cam, I commend you on your channel and everything that you do. 🙂
I remember when you were in school living out of this tent. Those were the days.
I'll bet he has fond memories of those days.
I love your videos Steve, you actually inspired me to go wild campng, much love from England!
'in the darkest hours of the night" rip stobe!!!! Awesome you know that Steve!
"Old Hot Tent" was my nickname in high school.
Nice

That's what I called my first girlfriend.
Pack it up Rhett from GMM 😂
@@sayuncleordie everyone called mine “cum dumpster”... never really got where it came from
Loved the 8 weeks of camping in that shack. Certainly got your use out of it. Looking forward to seeing the new one put through the motions. Think the wood stove in the tree house is a great idea.
Wait a minute you were going to skip garlic because you added the garlic butter but it’s OK extra garlic is always good
Please upload a 4-hour video of that stove heater burning, would make my Christmas. Great videos Steve!
One minute after posting and there's already 33 comments! So happy to see you so popular Steve! Would love to see you cook a nice poutine some time! 🇨🇦
Bum-ba-dida Bum-ba-dida Happy trails to you, until we meet again..... so long good and faithful tent. As always thanks for the great video steve.
Steve, still always so excited to make videos. You are always smiling and looking happy when you are filming. Today i tested out my Camp Chef stove for the first time, and picked up an insulated tent just like this one for hot tenting.
Hey Steve..enjoy your videos..I have to say i am a little moved and touched as you are saying goodbye to your trusty tent..you guys have been through a lot togethere..i can't help but feel it actually reminds me of when two people are breaking up..you know..well you go your way and i'll go my way..lol..best of luck with future tent, and many happy memories will be created..cheers Steve..Larry from Hamilton,On. " CHEERS"
Thanks Steve for the farewell video to the old ice fishing shack. The very first videos of yours I watched were when you went to School and you camped for 8 weeks. I loved those videos and loved the tent, I thought it was appropriate you had this farewell video for a tent that has been with you on so many camping adventures! It’s been fun watching them!
I love how you think and play Steve. You are my way of being able to camp every Thursday of every week.
Mmmmmmm
Hey Steve! Love your stuff, Edmonton misses you
Me too! I spent a whole year of university in an apartment that was unfurnished, a cot from a garage sale and a thermarest!
We don’t care too much what those celebrity chefs have to say Steve, we are here for down to earth content. Keep up the great work 👍 from Australia 🇦🇺
You can’t set this tent up inside out!!!!?🧐🤨
Crazy neighbor: “hold my beer!”
I mean, he was an Engineer!
@@jmsfabrication7821 well why don’t we just go back down serious road. 👍🏻
You mean, hold my step 2
@@davearonow65 nice!
Lol
It's hard to say goodbye to a favorite tent. It's like they have a soul.
How many Step 2’s deep was Crazy Neighbor when he set the tent up inside out?
Several several step 2's haha
Probably none - and look what happened
Steve your video rock....cant wait to see that new hunker down home
Hi Steve, I’m glad you slept through the robbery, it could have been seriously cheesy. Hi from 🇦🇺
The stove looks too warm. The scenery around the tent is so beautiful. I'm glad to see your great video again. From Woongkham, a South Korean TH-camr.
🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
Steve has such a calming presence. He would be very comfortable to be around. I bet he doesn’t lose his temper very often.
You're a great guy Steve
That was a nice time-lapse of outside.
Thank you Steve and beautiful wife! You bring joy and relaxation. Merry Christmas!
" Darkest hours of the night " RIP Stobe the hobe!!
when the lights go out..."woaah this takes me back" Steve surely "hunkered down" in that tent once or twice
One of my favorite reoccurring characters the wood stove ❤️
She was a great tent. Served you well and lots of adventures on and off the channel.
