Awooooo 🤘keep given'r bud.

The little aside to the camera about having been crying is exactly what makes me think you're going to be okay, Steve. I know there's a lot we don't see, but just the fact that you're okay with grieving and being in a hard place is testament to your character. We all love you, Steve.

This man has been through a lot but still manages to be a really nice bloke. Hats off to this guy!

Broke my heart when Steve said he was crying between sets 😞 Steve you are one of a kind it's great you are back we all love you here thank you so much for sharing your life with us and how honest you are about things

I live alone. These videos stop me from feeling so lonely. I feel like I spent the night camping with my buddy, Steve.

Steve I'm so sorry you're feeling understandably down. I hope that you realize that there are 1.21M of us that wish we could hug you and tell you how much you are loved. I know you can understand theoretically, but I wish you could feel our actual hugs.

The entire context of the video changes dramatically when Steve mentions he's been crying between takes. Makes you realize how much work goes into putting on a cheery face and making these vids entertaining for us viewers. Thanks for all you do, Steve! Hang in there!

“What I’ve learned from my limited stealth camping experience” - Steve Wallis, the literal king of stealth camping

I think what I like about Steve is that I see the same fears and worries that I would have being out there. And he doesn't hide them.

Take any breaks you need and cry if you need to. You've been through a lot Steve and we are all here for you. If your next video takes a month then that's how long it will take and we will all be patiently waiting for our next camping trip with you.

Steve needs to get himself a dog, he needs a good companion to help him through his hard times. My heart goes out to you Steve, stay strong buddy

I don't think I've ever commented on a KZfaq video on a 10+ year account. You're the man Steve. Your videos are such a good, wholesome get-a-way from life's stresses and my own demons. Your candid nature and down to earth personality is what everyone needs. I was gutted when I heard of your loss. Being so open about what you're feeling and perseverance to better times is something I strive for. You're an amazing guy, Steve. Keep it up and hunker down.

My heart continues to go out to you! You've suffered a tremendous loss. I am impressed that you continue to show up with gentleness, uncertainty, and grief. It would be so fun and spooky to camp there.

So glad to see you Steve. Hope you’re doing okay man and remember to take care of yourself first and foremost. We’ll still be here.

Steve describing a pile of old logs as having a ‘living area’ and a ‘patio’ is why I watch his stuff. Definitely a glass half full kinda guy. Love it

I'm glad you're still making videos, Steve. Tip from a photographer, is someone questions you being out near dusk, just tell them you're waiting on "golden hour".

Neighbour gives you a lift, describes raindrops as fairies, pretends you chopped his thumb off, and makes you a morning coffee… I like this guy already! 😊

Steve, you're inspiring. It's tough for us guys to talk about mental health, and the fact we cry. Seeing you keeping on, despite everything that's happened, is the definition of strength. Thank you.

I'm terrible at commenting on YT, but I wanted to say that I discovered your channel about a year and a half ago right around the time my dad passed and I had moved back to my hometown after a failed adventure. I binged your whole channel while getting settled into my apartment. It was like meeting a new pal in my new chapter. Thanks for all you do, Steve. These are the vibes we need.

I just found this channel last night. Bless your soul man I can tell you are a genuine and kind guy. Hang in there man it gets easier with time but it never really goes away. I’ve had quite a few family members pass away to various reasons in the past 5 years so I can relate. You’ll be okay man keep up the incredible effort.

Steve is the most honest good hearted person on KZfaq and we all thank you for it Steve ❤️❤️

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that your videos bring so much joy and positivity to my life. Your unique perspective, sense of humor, and wealth of knowledge make for truly entertaining and informative content. Your hard work and dedication to creating high-quality videos is truly inspiring. In these uncertain times, your content is more important than ever. It's a reminder that laughter and learning can still be a part of our daily lives. So, please keep doing what you do best and know that your viewers appreciate and look forward to each new video you release.

Steve never fails to make it sound like hell will break loose if someone catches him stealth camping. It never gets old. The videos are much more entertaining because of it.

Steve, please remember every time you prop up that cammera and hunker down in these amazing spots, we're all in there with you mate, all the thousands of us that love your videos are right there with you. Me, for example, loved the trip from Australia to join you this night. Just like us, your wife is with you there as well. Please never forget that, thank you for everything, and keep doing what you're doing. Your impact in this scene is is beyond comprehension. Thanks again for another amazing video mate !

I couldn’t really get if it was an unintentional Skinner moment with the steamed hams. Until he said “that’s the steam from the steamed hams we’re having”. Even though you’re going through such a tough time, it’s nice to see that you can still find humour and jokes. Don’t forget that in turn you’re making someone else laugh and that’s an amazing thing.

Seeing you be open about your sadness is making us all feel less alone with our struggles. Crying shows that you have the strength to deal with your emotions. Thank you for still making videos. You are giving us all hope that life can continue after tragedy. Stay strong ❤

We lost our son at Christmas and are still obliterated with grief. 31 years of great memories become ghosts that haunt you. I know the pain Steve is still carrying, and watching him soldier on gives me hope we can do the same. God bless you, Steve.

Steve, I live in Australia, mate. I know there are thousands of people all over the world like myself who wish you every happiness. We who love, pay such a high price for doing so.

You're doing brilliantly, Jess is proud of you. Don't think about tomorrow, just get through today. Grief is the price we pay for love. Strength & prayers from London 🇬🇧

There’s something about Steve still being out there that seems very reassuring for the rest of us

Steve, you'll never know how much you've meant to so many. The last couple of years, you've helped get me through my own grief after my beautiful wife left this world and entered heaven. You don't walk this road alone, my friend. Thank you for being so transparent on your journey. Love ya!

This is my first time commenting on any content here. Watching this brought a tear to my eye, and made me want to tell you how I believe we all feel. Steve we all love you, you are one of the most wholesome people I've ever seen. You are the Steve Irwin of stealth camping, the Mr Rogers of cleaning up other peoples garbage, the Bob Ross of cooking a campfire meal. We all love you Steve, sincerely everyone here.

Lost our oldest in a car accident two years this May. He was in a car accident and getting the phone call from the state patrol, I collapsed. I still cry sometimes too, Steve. The tears and grief show up randomly when I am reminded of him. Much love and respect.

Hearing Steve say he's crying in between shots, just hits me in the feels... I only wish there were something I could do to make things better...

As someone that has lost a spouse, and reading the comments, this really feels like a great community. Thank you Steve and everyone here. Stay safe. With love. -🦆

My wife and I watch you every chance we get. Before, when I was alone, I watched you. With my brother before that. It helps my mind seeing the adventures, the good things and the hope. You do great work and help a lot of people. Your strength is inspiring Steve. Thank you for all you do.

So sorry for your loss Steve- thank you for your willingness to share that with us- I do know how hard it can be... But, also, thanks for keeping on with yer travels and experiences on the channel! You have a lots of (a million+!) people pulling for you who are grateful for your weekly dose of inspiration and adventure! Cheers!

It's been 6 years since I lost my husband. I still have those days. Much love Steve.

When the rice went flying and then Steve just deadpan stared into the camera. 😂😂😂 That was the most sincere chuckle I’ve had in a while. ❤

Steve I love you and hope you get through whatever you’re going through man. Thanks again for helping me sleep so many lonely depressing nights

As always thanks for taking us along. You'd be surprised how many people depend on these little breaks from reality. Jess must be so proud.

My wife's uncle who lost his first wife to cancer says, "You never know where grief will overcome you. You might be at Safeway looking at the Spaghetti noodles and remember it was her favorite meal and that is all it takes to make a tough rest of the day." Keep on keeping on Steve. Love yah and your videos.

Hey Steve… you’ve gotta cry it out and don’t ever feel ashamed of your emotions. You’ve got over 1 million people that care about you and despite never meeting, we’re all here for you. Love you brother!

From here in the UK I just want to say your channel brings me unimaginable joy. You're going through such a lot but you bring so much comfort to others I hope you too can take happiness from knowing your community here is here for YOU Steve

I always found the best method to get people to leave me alone was to ask them questions first. I think I got the idea from a BIlly Connolly sketch about "getting your question in first". "Do you know how long this has been here?" "Do you know who built it?" "Have you seen any other on the coast?" "Have you seen anyone actually use it?" But for anyone else reading this, don't make it into an emergency by making up a fictional person who needs to be found. Because people WANT to help you then lol Other suggestion, red light filters on light will cut down the visibility a little.

It’s alright to cry, Steve. None of us will hold it against you. Thanks for all the entertainment you’ve given us through the years, you’ve helped me through some tough times myself, and I appreciate it greatly.

Most of us are strangers to you but everyone would agree you are like a friend to us. Thank you Steve for the adventures 🙂

I have never so badly wanted to reach through the screen and give someone a great big bear hug like I do right now! God Bless you and thank you for taking us on your adventures!

This channel was suddenly in my recommended and never have I been so thrilled to come across a creator. You seem so pure and wholesome and good hearted. Watching your videos melts away my own stresses which is rare to find. My heart aches for you and your loss, I’m so sorry about your loss of your love. I look forward to supporting you and your passion in any ways I can. Random-ish but you remind me of the best person I got to know in this life in so many ways and it warms my heart to watch your videos. Please keep on pushing and sharing your light with this world, we all need it!! Your energy is so so appreciated

Even in your dark moments you are still a ray of light shining on so many people. We love you Steve

I love how Steve always acts as if he’s staking out a bank and getting ready to rob it (you know, something very illegal) but he’s just stealth camping. I love it!!

"There nothing we cant fix with a little... steamed hams" will now be used to help me in tough times. I really am sorry you've been going through it. Sending you lots of love.

hey steve i just found your channel,This literally brings back childhood memories of trying to find little spots like this to camp at,It’s currently 3am here in australia but these videos are to good to stop watching,KEEP IT UP MAN💙

Steve I don't know if you even stop to consider how many people love you dude. You keep life happy.. and give us reasons to smile. We will always be here for you guy.

“It’s gets easier, but you can’t tell which days will be good” powerful words Steve. Thanks for continuing to make this awesome content for us.

Honestly can’t understand how your videos have become almost therapeutic. Never stop Steve you’re the best of us.

"Great photos."🤣🤣🤣 Be gentle with yourself, Steve. Allow yourself to feel everything you need to feel. We all are here for you. Lots of love from Georgia USA!💕

When I was a young boy, my father told me there’s nothing wrong with a grown man crying when it’s appropriate. It’s more than appropriate in your case, Steve! God bless. ❤

I have only seen a few videos so far, started with the stealth camping in a roundabout then to the river journeys. I ended up finding the video about your loss, and I feel for you. You seem like a genuinely good guy, no one should have to go through that kind of event. Seeing you continue with a reasonable amount of enthusiasm is inspiring! The honesty section in this video was sobering in a good way, but at the same time saddening. Almost like when you're a kid and you see your parents sad. I hope you continue on with what you love and succeed as well, I know we all enjoy it! Just don't forget that there are still people who care about you and that you're not alone. I look forward to more videos with your crazy neighbor, the boat camping videos are very cool, they remind me of a Huckleberry Fin kind of story, the good ole boys going down the river. Best of luck to you Steve, I look forward to more cool videos.

these videos are great bedtime watching. and i mean that in the nicest way. just great chill content that alleviates my stresses. thanks steve

Steve, I'm a decade down the road from where you are, and sometimes tears still happen.

Thanks, Steve! Great spending time with you.

Get a earth tone color backpack. Camouflage is ok but when and if people do happen to see you they may think your trying to hide or your hunting. A earth tone is stealthy and people won’t think your trying to hide. Sometimes the best camo for stealth is the red flannel you’re already wearing. You’ll just look like a lost hiker if you are spotted.

I know how you feel Steve. I recently lost my Mom back in January of 2023. I took it pretty hard at first but then I thought, she's no longer suffering anymore. She's in a better place. Stay strong my friend, we're with you.👍

Been through so much in the past year but still such a kind soul. We love you Steve. Rip to your beautiful wife I know she’s watching over you

Comedy gold watching Steve treat his camping activities as if he's breaking into a bank. Quality content!

Steve is my favorite human being on earth ❤ I’m a pretty restless human with lots of anxiety, but this man puts me to bed right away Prayers to you Steve and I hope all gets better. Hunker down and stay to earth, you’re a dope dude Steve.

Hang in there Steve, I've lost my entire family and I'm all alone now. But as they say, life must go on. I enjoy my camping as you do my Canuck friend. It is enjoyable to be out in the wild with nature, it's very therapeutic for my Soul. I used to cross the bridge into Canada and go camping and fishing, I absolutely love the Canadian wilderness!! Best wishes to you Steve. May the Great Spirit watch over you always. 🙏

Man.....my heart cracked a little when you told us you've been crying in between takes. Perfectly understandable. Appreciate your honesty ❤ And appreciate you making videos despite! Keep hanging in there. And don't change!

Steve, the Bob Ross of stealth camping 🤌

Steve u are a man with heart yes grown men cry when u lose someone very close to u I Admire u going out & still doing your stealth camping May God hold u tight prayers for u & your family Thank u again for another amazing video

Steve, i'm going through grief over the loss of a loved one too and your videos help distract me from that sometimes. I hope you know that you're really strong continuing your KZfaq career while in this state. It is not easy doing anything depressed. God is the only thing that can help me. Thankyou Steve for being strong. Cry as long as you need my friend. Best wishes on your travels.

Steve has been through one of the hardest things to go through in life and still continues to find that strength to continue doing what he loves, not only does he provide content we all love to watch, he is also an inspiration, showing us no matter how hard life gets, its possible to continue and be strong

Steve Wallis… one brave, resilient good guy. Suffering and still filming… hoping you feel better soon ❤

Oh Steve, my heart goes out to you. You are on a journey not of your choosing, but over time the grief will not be so heavy. Take care.

So sorry for your loss Steve - I can’t imagine how you must be feeling. You are such an inspiration - I am so proud of you. You are doing so well still putting up videos for all your fans. Hang on in there Steve - you are going to be alright. Take care and sending you lots of love. Xxxx

Thank you Steve for being here and letting us be part of your adventure. My soulmate, best friend, and partner passed away. We used to watch your show together. We lived the van life during COVID, a dream of ours. I am back at home trying to live my best life until we are together again. So, thank you so much for being here and helping us all heal together:)

I've been in your boat, it was ten years ago. It's very difficult and dark at times. I'm happy to see you going out and doing things. Cry all you need to, man. I didn't let myself cry for so long and now it's hard to feel anything about it. You aren't alone even when you're out in the wilderness. A lot of people care about you.

i remember when i was younger, i had the tendency to follow "friends" into places i probably shouldn't have been in, and i remember the feeling of when trying to enter, and how it multiplies when you're trying to leave.

Only time will take the edge off your loss. It will never go away, you just have to find a way to make peace with it friend. Just know that we love you Steve. You’re loved man.

Steve, I’m going to give you the long story, but please read to the end. As I was growing up, I would go camping with my uncle on a very regular basis. We would go to a National Forest a few hours away and do very primitive camping. We would try new equipment, but the idea was less is more. Often, we wouldn’t take more than a large tarp, a couple of bungie cords (beer of course!), a saw, and a little bit of food. These are some of my best memories as an adolescent and early adult. Then life happened and we started going less and less. I joined the Army and moved away. Starting a new chapter in life, I got to do some really cool things and see some very cool places. I deployed to Afghanistan twice (for a year each time) and got to experience war firsthand. There were constant explosions and firefights, and a lot of good people weren’t the same after the dust cleared. We lived in a tent (with about 30 people), I slept on a cot. Space was extremely tight, but that’s as close to camping as you can get in that region lol. I was injured pretty substantially during my first deployment, and again on the second. After returning home, sleep was a big hurdle. It’s kind of strange that while you’re over there you sleep fine (maybe because you’re just so drained from the day), but once you get home is when it gets harder. I used to lay in bed and imagine being back on my cot and in my sleeping bag in order to appreciate the astounding comfort difference and try to go to sleep. Sometimes it helped, sometimes not. Recently, I accidentally clicked on and watched one of your stealth camping videos. Not gonna lie at first I was like what the hell is this guy doing. But after watching, I noticed how carefree you seemed. How much you truly enjoyed being outside (and drinking beer). It absolutely brought me back to when I used to love camping. I never did it in the middle of a freeway, or behind a billboard or any of the other crazy places you have- but I would like to. The point of this whole ramble is that your videos bring a sense of calm to me. I watch one every night before going to bed, and it really helps to put my mind in a place of calmness and happiness. I sleep a lot better recently. I really appreciate it. I appreciate your humor and your approach to getting into the woods (or wherever). I miss camping very much and plan to get back to it. Lastly, I Googled your name to try to get some background on who this guy is. I was shocked to see that you recently suffered a terrible loss in your life. I want to offer my deepest condolences. Coming from someone who also has delt with tragedy, I understand how hard it can be. I want you to know that what you do brings joy and happiness to peoples lives. Keep doing what you’re doing and know that you are no longer sleeping alone in the woods. Patrick

Steve is one of the best things on KZfaq.. or any art or entertainment space right now. Grief is an experience we all will face one day, if not already. Watching Steve go through grief and face life as part of this supportive community is an experience I am grateful for. Thank you, Steve.

Hang in there Steve, I'm sorry things have been hard, you are a good dude, much love!

Hey Steve I know you’ll probably not see this but I wish you the best of everything in this world 🙏 you’re a truly amazing person

Thank you Steve for sharing your life and adventures with us. Jess would be so proud of you.❤️

Steve , just know that all of us will continue to support you. Don’t worry about crying in front of us we all been there & always remember that even though all of us that follow you may never meet you , we come together because of your channel and that makes us all family. Stay safe Steve & everyone on this beautiful new journey Steve is taking us through.

Awww that made me cry when you said you were crying between takes. You know Steve, we would all give you a big hug if we could. Take care of yourself. She would have wanted that.

Thanks for taking us on the journey, Steve.

Gosh, Steve seems such a genuine guy. I love his honesty and saying that things haven't been going so well. I just wish I could jump through my screen and give him a huge hug.

You're a light in the darkness, bud. I hope happiness finds you again and just hang on to those happy memories for the dark times, they will carry you through time and time again.

I’m not gonna lie I say I know what you’re going through because I don’t ! All I know is a nice guy like yourself doesn’t deserve the pain you’re feeling. Stay strong Steve thoughts prayers and strong vibes being sent your way from the uk.

The moment with the rice just after Steve was being vulnerable couldn’t have come at a better time to lighten the mood. I lost my brother 5 years ago and the bad days do get easier to deal with and a good cry every so often always works for me. Keep on trucking Steve!

This is such a cool stealth camping spot. One of the best in quite a while I think. Good job Steve

It's great to see you online again Steve. Sending you lots of hugs from Toronto, ON. Give yourself time to grieve and remember all of the good adventures with your late wife!

Steve, you’re such a trooper! Despite all you’ve been through you still bring so much joy to people’s lives through your videos. Cheers 🍻

We'd all think you were odd if you didn't cry, dear Steve. You're with friends here and we all care for you, very much. I am full of admiration for the way you are pushing ahead. The way you think of us and keep coming back is just wonderful. My heart lifts when I see there's a new video, and I know I am not the only one. God bless you.

Steve, it broke my heart when you said you had been crying between shots. We all understand. Know you're loved, and your friends are with you, Steve. Slowly, slowly, things will become easier. You'll see.

Brother i know im just random guy in youtube land you have no idea the amount of hope, comfort you have giving me in time of my life needed it the most. Love you brother keep

I found your channel, and greatly enjoy your videos. I lost my wife in October, and I have good days and bad days. And when people ask me, if I’m getting better, I can tell them that things are different. Keep searching for you, and stay strong. Godspeed.

There's a Steve in all of us, he just has the guts to do it and let that inner light shine for all of us to share. Mad respect for you. Thanks for letting us shine!
