I start watching jackass videos . I see one video about wee man buying a van to live in , next thing you know I’m knee deep in the back catalog of the bob ross of camping .

Man I've walked right past that site so many times hanging out in the provincial park. That's great, stoked to start watching this series even if I'm 2 years late!

"I'm not a bush craft guy, I'm just a camper" I subscribed at that point.

I love when Steve says “everything’s gonna be aaaalllllllright” 13:53

Nothing beats watching winter camping videos while winter camping myself! This is my first winter of camping through the entire winter season and loving every second of it! Time for a step two!

Your videos are such a comfort at such a tough time. Thank you for doing what you do, Steve.

I only discovered the channel the other day but I love these vids and the way you don't try to be some kind of bushcraft or survival expert, just a guy who loves camping.

💜💜💜, continues to be one of my fave sets of ur videos.

I keep coming back to this series, it is a comfort and pure joy to watch. Plus I get to snow camp vicariously through you.

I’m here in 2021 going back back and re-watching Steve videos that I first stumbled upon 3 years ago. I was here watching these videos as they were released. Keep at it Steve.

I love that I can go from watching your most recent videos to older ones seamlessly. Your entire channel has inspired me and the wife to start gearing up to go camping for both our first time here soon, we love these videos!

This video was great. I eat my dinner and watch Camping With Steve. Currently I'm camping in my living room using my bedroom as a storage place until I get the place painted and organized. So I camp in the living room. Thankful to be living in a trailer. For a number of years I was stealth camping too because I had to. A single man has a world of opportunities. Just camp in your car, don't worry about where you are at now. Stack your money and transition to something better. Decided to check out your older videos Steve. It's cool to see where you started.

“Here in the dining room slash everything” haha you’re the best Steve!

One of my go to series to watch while winding down. This series shows Steve growing and learning how to make his channel. 💛

I did the same thing in 26 years ago when I went to college in Sault Ste. Marie. Kudos from Ontario!!

Discovered your channel a few days ago. Been binge watching your videos. With everything you have been through and your infectious positive attitude is something we can all learn from. I wish you the best.

Just starting this 8 week journey with u now. Super excited to see how it goes

I love that you call camping in a campground “cheating”😂😂

You have one of those Harry Potter tents! (bigger on the inside than it is on the outside) 😀

Good morning Steve. Wonderful, just watched the video where you retired this tent. The one that the creator ate your cheese and you slept through the robbery. Love you Steve. Hope you're doing well. Love your videos.

Very nice setup! I have done about 3 weeks of camping in my 5 man Canadian Army tent this winter so far. Almost a week at Miquelon Lake, 10 days at Jasper Wapiti Campground and Family Day long weekend at Pigeon Lake.

It looks like the winter storms are all isolated to the back of your truck. Every thing you own in the back of that pickup is covered in snow and ice hahaha, love your videos soo much, keep up the great work!

So cool!! That steak looked amazing and I'm so glad I went back and started watching the beginning of what became camping with Steve.

I'm going to put this tarp down to cover the snow (sets stove up and brushes snow off it and on to the tarp) :P Classic Steve!

Thanks so much Steve for your videos. I appreciate all the effort you put into bringing us along on your travels. It really is a spiritual quest. It’s so easy to forgot to appreciate what we have when life is full of conveniences. When it’s stripped away and all you have is your intuition and drive, it allows you to enjoy the little things like a $1.00 box of Mac and Cheese and a steak cooked on a log. Props to you Steve from a soon to be truck bed camper outside of Detroit!

Looking forward to watching all of the videos.

-20 C is -4 F. Very impressive project as usual Steve, and mind blowing steak prep!

Watching these videos is the favorite part of my day. Love you Steve.

I love living in provincial parks while working out of town, doing it in the winter brings you to a whole new level!

This looks like so much fun! I've camped while attending a training course. A whole week cost less than one night in a hotel, not even counting food savings. & so nice to spend the time in nature to decompress after a long day of learning.

I have just watched all your stealth camping, and when I saw the camper van I was like "oh no he's gotta move", then i remembered this isnt stealth

Cool set up mate . The bear spray probably is better for cougars now as most are in hibernation. Definitely sleep better with it though .

Cooking the steak right in the fire blew my mind!! 🤩

Steve I just started watching your vids, and your 8 wk. outing while going 2 school took heart and soul!! I was hooked @ that point because I would have done the same. Bless you man and best of luck with your new business and keep on Hunkering Down!!!!

Loving all these early vids!

A good way to help retain more heat in your tent with your stove. Get a flexible metal pipe, 2-4 inches, or at least all metal close to stove, find a way to connect the hose or pipe to the holes on your stove door, you can make it removable and cheap. Then run it under your tent or out a low hole you make, lower then the stove intake vents. Just make sure always clear on outside. They might make connectors or fabricate yourself. Pull air in from outside to feed fire, instead of pulling cold air into tent then getting sucked into fire. You will notice a big difference. A friend of mine did it to his cabin, and I've seen people do it in campers and tents.

I`m watching the playlist. I didn`t want to miss a show.

Six years ago.. Wow! 😍 This series is one of my fave bedtime stories.

One of the best thing about Steve's videos are the comments

First video I ever watched of Steve, you've come a long way buddy

Hey Steve! It's Tom from Texas. I don't see snow too often, so I appreciate your videos, and your willingness to put yourself out there. Keep on keeping on man!!

Watching this series again for the 3rd time lol

You can tell when someone knows how to cook when they say “let the steak rest”.

Aww, it's been four years now from the posting of this series. You've come a long way! 💛

I didnt know Chuck Norris likes to camp 😂😂😂😂

I love the having steak with Mac and cheese

Love this guy

Ha, all kind of fancy equipment you don't see in the new videos. What a evolution

I really get transfixed when I watch your videos. I really liked the stealth camping video I saw. Very smart having a carbon monoxide alarm. Nice setup. Looks like you'll be pretty comfortable.

I watch these as I hunker down :)

This was totally badass

California uni student: Living in rez is hard man! Steve: Try going to trade school up in Canada in the middle of winter...

Ahh man, 8 weeks away from the rat race would be a game-changer! I've already looked up Anker power packs...

@7:42 "I'm not a... survivalist... bushcraft guy. I'm a camper :)"

I started out watching several of your recent videos, but then went back to the very beginning and have binged them up until this one. Enjoying every moment and getting lots of ideas to use in my own videos. Keep up the great work!

Ahhh the sound of you clearing the snow brought back memories.......... 15 years in London, England, I’d almost forgotten the sound of Canada in the winter

I love this. So simplistic. So little space. So cheap while going to Trade school. I love it!!

good set up i know school went well thanks

I am going on a small trip soon. So what do I do? I watch Steve do his thing.

Only -4 F not -40F. On a side note at -40 they are the same.

That there is what you call flame broiled LOL 😂🔥❄️✨

“Here is the dining room slash everything.” Cracked me up!

Steve with the skinny jeans

Why did everything in the back of your truck have snow on it when he had a canopy

I watched all these two weeks ago and now I’m back.... I enjoy watching you camping....

Still one of my all time favourite videos 👍

more thought provoking than most terrestrial television, if you appreciate this mans energy and fortitude, albeit, he enjoys the challenges.

JUST throwing the steak on the log! That's badass

I love the coleman cot, very close to the military cot

Hey Steve greetings from Wilmington NC USA and I love your videos especially with the Step 2 be safe and don't get caught

Steak looked delicious👌 and kick ass tent setup

That reminds me...I should hunker down

Nice tent set up cool gear you got it made man. Using electricity is not cheating if you’re at the campground. Besides you’re going to school it’s like a hotel room that saves money.

Love the videos man! And love me some mac n cheese!

That steak looked phenomenal!!!!

That steak really did look good!!! I’m going to have to try that....

It is interesting the feelings that go on in ones head who will be facing ONE night out in the woods in winter. Pretty much what keeps 90% at home. You make me want to take this "challenge" that is just another day for you. hahaha. Good Luck man and also good luck on the Trade School.

Your channel has really grown from four years ago. Great job!

I've stayed in the Yellowstone Tent Cabins down to 10F and they were toasty with the wood burning stove fired up. You sleep on elevated cots and bring your camp chairs inside as well. Not bad but I went through a lot of wood:-)

KD and steak, staple of any canadian student bud!

Awesome video and gl with it man... I'll be sleeping in my Warbonnet hammock on the Appalachian trail here in about a week and a half for between 3-5 months depending on how long it takes me to finish it, it definitely takes a special kind of someone to camp out for such a long time to better themselves

That steak looked perfect.

I’m gonna shovel this snow down to the ground...tried two shovels on a gravel road...F it, I’m just gonna put a tarp down anyway lol

Nice job

my condolences to your colon that steak looked really well made though, i'm impressed never seen one cooked right in the fire like that

Tarp solved the floor issue quick lol😂

This is my third time watching your camping vids Steve like a super TV series on Netflix, I love your camp and cook vids with beautiful wife and crazy neighbor. Please keep doing the camping and cooking trips.

It’s really beautiful there Steve

Anybody else wonder how snow got in the bed of the truck?

OMG Steve that steak was impressive!!

Just watched your latest video, coning back to see what the mid to early days were like. Loved this series

U a tough guy to go camping in the winter I admire your toughness

Thanks Steve

That steak cracked me up,reminded me of doing the same thing with pork steaks.........enjoy!!!!

I laughed out loud at 3:06 - so cute how it pops! Friggin love modern tents - although this one seems huge for just one person!

Enjoyed the video I learned a lot from this excellent video 👍👍.

Cooks steak INSIDE the stove. Awesome.

Hi Steve, another great video. Thanks and be warm.

You are awesome sir! You made me smile so much. Keep up the great work!

id suggest two tarps, stapled or tied together to make double layers. you could even stuff pine needles in between them for more insolation
