Rest Area Tailgate Camping

  • I went looking for a unique place to camp and the best I found was a highway rest area. Simple but effective overnighter, the tarp "tent" on the back of the SUV added much-needed room to a small space.

    "Why am I watching this?" I'll offer that insight for you Steve, and I'm not just blowin smoke. You're an effortlessly likeable dude. Following along on your adventures, even those that you think might be boring, is a needed respite for everyone who watches your videos. The mythical algorithm put your freeway interchange video in front of me, and in the past two weeks I think I've watched almost everything you've done in the past two years. I can tell you're a humble guy and you get these kinds of comments on every video but that won't stop me chiming in. We're here for you. Simple as that. Had to pause and put my two cents in the comments when you posited that "why am I watching" question, but I'm gonna get back to the video -- and my step 2 -- now. Cheers!

      Please keep going Steve, maybe bring an ironing board, roomba and install some hardwood flooring in your car. Camping with Steve is halarious, but not really camping. You could change the name to "Inefficient Living with Steve" or "Surviving for Now with Steve" Kidding aside, love the free spirit.

    I've got to say when Steve started to talk about people stumbling onto his video it made me think back to when I did that very thing what seems like a lifetime ago and I must say I'm so thankful I did so. These videos make me happy and I always make it routine to watch them before going to sleep to relax and wind down because Steve and his content is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise chaotic and restless world. Thank you Steve for all that you create 🙏

    Steve, my husband loved watching your videos every Thursday, but on 06/24/22, he was severely injured on the job. He ended up needing emergency brain surgery and yesterday was 3 weeks since his surgery. He woke up on day 16 from a coma and he recognizes me, his wife of 27 years and our oldest son, but he could not and still cannot follow commands of hold up 2 fingers, wriggle your toes. I am worried sick about him and just would love to ask everyone here to pray for him.

    Hey Steve,
    My family and I watch every Thursday when possible. My mom just asked me to tell you that we really enjoyed the one-nighter and that we’re all big fans of all of the varieties of videos. We went camping for the first time for my aunt’s 75th birthday party. They loved it. I set up my first two tents. We had good weather. And as a first time camper the number one goal I had was to have a nearby washroom for the step twos. We owe you a great lesson in how to get out there and Hunker Down. Thanks Steve.

    I think the most alluring thing about even your simplest of videos is the fact that we can escape the daily grind of regular life through you. You are doing things our ancestors did, we were all travelers once upon a time. Your videos show what is no longer deemed "normal" in today's society but it's truly what a lot of people yearn for. Similar to VanLife. You go out there, and see even the smallest parts of the world on your time and on your rules. It's true Freedom.

    Hi Steve, followed you for some time. Stealth camping is something I've done for over 40 years via motorcycle. I put over 9000
    miles last season. Rest areas are generally good, although I mostly lay my sleeping matt down and crash, depending on elevation.
    Some troopers sometimes bug me, but I've never had a problem and moved on.... Mississippi cops tore apart my stuff only
    once searching for things I don't have. The call of the open road is strong in my bones.

My husband and I live in the Twin Cities and he works downtown so to get away and see nothing but trees is so relaxing. We don’t camp but take day trips when possible but sadly ends up only being 1-2 times a year. But it is refreshing when we do. I really do enjoy watching your videos and am glad you are staying safe.

The answer came quickly to me that the reason I watch is because you are a pleasant kind man who embodies the adventurist spirit that so many of us have but are to bound down by our life choices of family and career. Not that you don't have those things . I find it amazing that I look forward to Thursdays just to see your weekly adventure no matter how simple it might be. And the fact that you are closing in on a million subs shows me that I'm not alone in this thought. Thank you Sir!! Cheers!!!!!!!!!!

    Steve I can’t speak for everyone but I’ve been watching your channel all of these years because you think outside of the box. You have set up camps in places no one would ever think. Not only that, you make actual meals you cook & eat while out there. Using various gadgets that some of us may have never heard of or thought about using remotely…like the rice cooker & a power pack.. You show ppl that with a few simple thing you can get out & do exactly what you did. It’s not expensive or impossible. Just takes a little time & appropriate planning. ♥️

    Wow Steve, you are getting really close to that 1 million. Congratulations, I'm really happy for you. Love your channel - no matter the content, it's always entertaining and relaxing. I do really like the river "boat" series with crazy neighbor though. Bummed that you are not really able to do that again, hope you do find a way to rework the raft and try again, honestly the trials and tribulations with that is a lot of the fun😎

    Thank you so much for all of your videos Steve! I'm an American who used to live about an hour drive from the Canadian border in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. I'm currently in medical school in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I miss the trees, mountains and lakes so much. I still have a few years stuck down in the desert, and I watch your videos to live vicariously through you to reimagine my years camping back in B.C., Idaho, Washington, and Montana. Your videos are always a lot of fun, and I cherish each one. Cheers!

    Steve, I love you. I Really felt you on this one. I'm a long time follower and on this one; I got this certain feeling again. I'm sure all of us can relate, when I say I just wish I could go camping with you! And THEN I think about how many meals we have shared, and I always spark one up for my number 2.
    My man..!

  • @AlphaMachina
    @AlphaMachina 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    What I've learned from this channel is that, no matter what situation I'm in, I can make the best of it and still figure out a way to get some shut eye, as long as I don't bother anyone, I'm sneaky as can be, smart about where I stay, and leave the place better than the way I found it by taking some trash with me. I've learned a lot. Hope I never need to use this information, but it'll be stored up here in the ole brain if I do.

    I'm glad you're feeling better, Steve. I got hit with COVID in early July, and it laid me out for two weeks. In that time, one of the small comforts I had was rewatching a lot of your videos. It gave me the sense of going outside while I was laying in bed. Your sense of humor and enthusiasm for the outdoors makes your videos so fun to watch.

Not survival. I grew up with survival and learning to just live in this world has been a struggle, but watching your TH-cam videos is fun 😁. Thank you

So we're going to live vicariously through you. Cheers and thanks again for your videos

    Fun to watch as always. Maybe stealth camp on top of a tall building over 20 stories high. Years ago me and some college buddies drove an old 1950s Willys Wagoneer up into Canada. We'd pull into pay campground after dark, spray bug killer spray under the the picnic table, throw military surplus mosquito netting over picnic tables, and then sleep bug free until daylight. Then we'd haul ass before anyone was the wiser. The mosquito netting was the type we'd use overseas in the Marine barracks on our bunkbeds. That was grifter stealth camping.

  • @kiralana

    I know that oddly serene feeling. Experienced that in a casino parking lot in a small town on the Olympic Peninsula. We pulled our RV up along the backside of the parking lot and had a glorious backdrop of a full moonrise over the wooded mountains. The only person we saw was the security vehicle a couple of times. So wish we still had that RV, it made spontaneity so much easier. This week we dropped everything we had going on, to take a one day camping trip, to try and ease the severe anxiety our teenage son has suddenly developed. It took us hours to prepare for a less than 24 hour trip! Totally worth it, though!

    • @FrankBullitt390
      @FrankBullitt390 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you're SUV/Car camping its real easy to be spontaneous once you have all the required gear to make it enjoyable. Sleeping pad, sleeping bag, butane stove, lamps, window nets to keep bugs out etc.
