River Camping Under Highway Bridge

  • I found a great camping spot underneath a highway bridge. A beautiful river ran right beside the campsite and was the perfect place to hunker down and camp for the night. Some highway noise made it hit and miss overnight, but the white noise of the river made camping far more enjoyable than expected!

    Don't ever second guess your channel's genre decision, you didn't just pigeon hole yourself into low hanging fruit, you took an obscure niche side of TH-cam and blew it up into the mainstream by making the best videos of the kind. You weren't the first but you're hands down the best!
    And as an islander (& trucker) I'm loving how I instantly recognize every spot you've been to lately! This one in particular I wouldn't worry about seeing anyone on that trail outside of summer tubing season or fall salmon fishing season. Now I'm just waiting to see myself driving by in my truck in one of your videos! (sorry if I woke you up at 4am)

      i support this content, but at the same time i can't wrap my head around stealth camper's desire to sleep among human waste and detritus. i'd never want to camp close to civilization or well travelled trails. paranoia of digging into someone else's cathole or stepping on their log has been an ocd of mine.

    After watching channels where they're camping with $800 in tents, sleep systems, backpacks, and cooking gear it's refreshing to come here and see Steve stomping on sticks for firewood.

    Your camping videos take me back to what I did in my younger days. I'm 72 years old. In my 20's and 30's, I camped similar to this. I would camp in state and forestry parks locations that were not allowed. Most times, I didn't use a tent and had no fire. I left no trace that I was there. That was true camping. Your videos get me out there like the good old days. Thank you. If you're ever in the San Diego, Southern California area, look me up. I'll buy you dinner and talk about camping until we've both had enough.

I can’t describe to you how nice it is to hear from you while you’re going through this shit. Honestly, it may take years and years before you start to feel normal again. But I guarantee you, that if you continue to be real, a lot of people would watch you stealth camp on your back deck. So yah…just keep posting and show your tears. We fucking love you so much. ❤
    Edit: I’ve experience serious loss in my life. Im 10 years deep since losing my mom and best friend. But I still wake up every single day with serious anxiety/depression attacks. I legitimately sweat the fuck out of the bed, I throw up in the worst way possible. I’m confused, depressed as fuck, and have missed many days of work because of it. I’ve come a long way though. So again…we’ve got you, Steve.

    I’ve watched dozens of your videos Steve, and I think this is my favorite camping spot so far.

    Steve is the best. Nice to see him so jovial in this episode. Truly the most wholesome content on the internet.
