Camping At Abandoned Oil Well
Рет қаралды 799,620
Күн бұрынI found a stellar place to camp at an abandoned oil well! This well is on county land so there isn't any trespassing involved. In Alberta, there are thousands of these orphaned or abandoned wells facing a huge cleanup problem. I believe there is a case to be made for turning these into campgrounds, as many of them are on public land, and there are roads and power leading to them already. This may be a bad idea, but I figured I'd throw the concept out there and see what happens.
If anyone is curious about the tent it's a Cabela's Tent Cot, they are heavy, fairly expensive for what they are, but wow are they convenient!

The idea to convert the oil well areas to campsites has great merit. In the US we have the Rails to Trails Conservancy which converts old rail lines into multiuse public trails. They are wide and mostly flat because they are built in the defunct railroad cut. They are very popular and ever expanding around the country.

Hey I'm "Oil Field People" I did some digging, these wells are owned by Long Run Exploration LTD The wells were drilled in 2005-2009 and have been suspended in 2018, Long run does still appear to be operating so these wells aren't "Abandoned" In the industry abandoning well means something completely different, when a well is abandoned that means the well is cemented off down hole and then usually cut 2 meters below ground and welded shut. In addition these days Oil and Gas companies have to put money aside upfront before drilling a well so that even if the company goes bust the well can be properly "Abandoned"

Three things, One, Steve is awesome for being him. And it's oddly cathartic being able to go on these trips with him. Two, I admittedly admire the meals he's shown us and have made a few simply because I didn't want to decide on what I wanted for dinner. And three, I don't believe it's ever really expressed, but I have a huge appreciation for Steve and his ability to set up his camera on a tripod and either walk or drive away in the distance just to come back and get the camera after an awesome shot. Thanks for being you, Steve.

We had this same issue in Texas this last year. We couldn't even get a reservation to go to the state parks to fish because they were limiting how many people were in the parks. All the parks were reserved for camping as well. I don't blame families to use their time off work to camp and do things and give their kids so many experiences. It was a rough year everywhere. I think your idea fantastic. We have tons of old oil wells here but the majority are on private property.

I work in the environmental consulting industry, and do lots of remidiation/reclamation work. I really do love your plan, but I would say is the biggest concern is a lot of these abandoned oil rigs do have quite a bit of soil and groundwater contamination. That opens a lot of liability which a lot of people wouldn't be willing to take on. In order for the campground to happen the whole place would have to be remediated which can take a lot of time and a lot of money.
@chrisallen9154 3 жыл бұрын
Of course the remediation will have to happen at a cost to the public because the government has no back bone to require the companies to post a bond for when they abandon the sites.

The cost of remediation is exactly why oil companies walk away and leave the public to pick up the tab.

Here's a trick I learned from camping in freezing temp. Take a wool blanket, drape it over the tent on the outside. So it's between the rain fly and the top of the tent. Doing that makes it feel like you have a heater in your tent.

I look forward to the days where you just hike out back of the greatly comfortable house and bbq with the wife and/or crazy neighbor on your beautiful property. At almost 50 years old, I too, am hoping for a homestead like that for my beautiful wife, myself, kids, and grandkids to live on comfortably here in semi-rural central Indiana. Thanks again. Love all the videos and updates.

@ Dakota Smith, Beyond Steve, one does seem to have good quality "bushcrafting" vids where people go off & make shelters, fire & either will bring food or catch & cook. Not everyone of those has annoying music. One of my favorites is "Swedwoods" on KZfaq. He looks like a couple folks I know in real life & has been cool to talk back & forth in his comment section. I guess give him a try. I forgot the Asian / Korean girl's YT channel name but there's one featuring an Asian women who does a bunch of various shelter builds & sometimes, catch & cook stuff ( mostly fish!) Greg Ovens is fun as well to watch especially for his various put together traps for fishing & other stuff & not so much music goes on in those. There's others.

Steve, your channel is really genius and combines so many fun elements. It's like ASMR and mukbang with how you eat your food on camera, it's very cosy with camping in general, but also a 'risk' element to it, it's appealing the same way hide and seek is fun but harmless as kids. And you're a funny man as well. Very well deserved >1 million subs and success.

I totally agree there is potential for alot of abandoned oilfield leases to be converted into actual camp grounds, I work in the oilfield as a oil/gas well operator have worked all over the province and some leases I have operated have the most amazing views and are in some of the most beautiful country, if you do another one try heading down towards Robb and cadomin lots of leases with amazing views down that way cheers and keep up the great content, I wonder if there was a way that people could sponsor a lease site and convert it into a campsite with use don't abuse policy kind of thing
