Hey Steve, I hope you're hanging in there okay. I lost my wife not long after you lost Jess, and I know how difficult it is as the months go by. I thought I'd be doing better by now, but actually, far from it. I was thinking about you because I imagine you're going through much the same thing, and I know how hard it is when, everywhere you look, you're reminded of her. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for continuing to push on because it is really inspiring to those of us who are going through a similar experience. Best wishes!

Knowing that Steve’s out there keeping an eye on things in the shadows helps me sleep better at night

Steve has a way of making stealth camping look fun and doable. Then I find myself glancing to the side of a freeway at a plot of land and I think to myself, “Steve would have a camp site set up, drinking a beer, and making beef stroganoff” and then I realize how hard, stressful, never racking and scary it would be. Which is why I enjoy living vicariously through him from the friendly confines of my couch.

This one captured all of the essence of stealth camping with the station nearby, unexpected people showing up, rain and snow, and a perfectly hidden camping spot.

Over a million of us grabbed our remotes and gleefully clicked on the newest upload of Steve doing what we love most... stealth camping in the snow. We're from all over the globe, we're young and old. We're united in this channel, a mixed group of followers. No point trying to make sense of it. We just love watching Steve!❤️

A year and a half ago I was living rough. Tarp...sleeping bag. These videos legit saved my life. I now carry a bag that I give out for free to help the homeless because of you.... It is not much but it is everything to them. Thank you

As another fellow said in the comments. Many of us have our own issues to deal with but when Steve gets a new video out, I make it my mission to sit down and watch and just forget about all the problems for about 20 minutes. Seriously, never felt so calm watching Steve and his adventures. Best wishes to all y'all.

Steve I found your videos sometime a year or 2 ago when you had probably half the subs you do now. Watching your videos helped me to relax and ground myself in a really hard time in my life. For whatever reason I stopped seeing your videos recommended until recently. I gotta say, the production value of your content has grown immensely. You've always had a knack for filmmaking, but it's really wonderful to see you pushing yourself to keep developing your skills and vision. Your hard work is definitely paying off. Keep up the great work Steve. I feel weird thanking a stranger on youtube but I'm not joking when I say your videos have helped me through some really dark nights. Thanks Steve.

We donated all of our food Monday as we are moving, I said to my wife "Now you're camping with Steve". I then realized the impact this channel has on my life. Hundreds of videos over the course of years, and it's been a ride. I see you Steve.

I'll be honest. And I think we can all agree, we need more Steve more frequently.

Steve is my man😇.He always comforts me with his videos.I feel so happy when I watch Steve with his camp.Steve is the bravest human ever 🔥🔥🔥

I think the thing that I love most about your videos is that it encourages people to get outside and do something. A lot of people including myself sometimes get stuck in our phones, busy with other things, or telling ourselves a million reasons why we can’t do things. Your videos show that there’s no excuses.. rain.. shine.. not a lot of gear.. you can do it 😊

I love the feeling of security that comes over me when Steve makes it across the road and finds his place among the trees.

Hey Steve. Thanks for taking a moment to recognize us first responders. Condolences to you. Stay strong and stay out there for her!

Yes... A black umbrella is super versatile, and easy to procure (A core part of my military/hunting kit since 1982?). You can stake it with guy lines, cut poles to suspend it, hang in a tree Steve style, or just hunker down under it. Use your imagination (Like Steve).

Steve, it’s crazy watching you go from a humble amount of subs to your million now. Well deserved man!

Steve, you have have spoken to so many people, because you're such a lovely guy. I've spoken [online and in passing] to you before when I was "temporarily" homeless and I had just found shelter [which was through a charity]. You were so supportive in your reply to me and genuinely glad that I had found a roof over my head and I'll never forget that. I usually don't speak about things as personal as this, but my life had been pretty good until there was a sudden and unexpected series of deaths in my family which pretty much took everyone away. Firstly, I want you to know that I have progressed from where I was and have just moved into an apartment where I'm truly happy, but I relate to your sadness and want you to remember that grief is a long process. Please never forget that there are so many people who admire you for just being you. I think I may have once said in a comment to you "there is no statute of limitations on grief" and it's true. Please never stop posting your amazing videos, but never feel stressed to do it. You're so good at what you do and as you hopefully already know, there are a huge number of people out here who love watching you, but hey only when you're able and it feels right. Big love from a UK fan, who has been to Canada... A lot :D

The drone shots are a great addition, Steve. They really give some context as to where you are and the situation you're in. It definitely adds a new dimension to the video! Keep it up, man!

As a professional trucker and avid adventurer myself, this is one of my favorite Camping with Steve videos

Good to see you back at it Steve. I can’t imagine the struggle. Tony

As a truck driver I appreciate the location. I’ve thought many times weigh stations would be a perfect stealth spot. Cheers Steve!

I’m just a dairy farmer worker in WNY here but I hope you’re managing yourself alright, Steve. I find myself stuck in my head, a LOT, and I hope you keep on keeping on with doing the things you do. Your videos help inspire me to never give up.

Hi Steve, been with you for many years. Thank you SO much. You helped get wife and I thru Covid! So glad you are still at it after your life altering hits…..like Crazy Neighbor can we see little more of him ?!

I can't even explain what it is about watching Steve eat and sleep in various locations but it's truly so wholesome and always brings me out of the endless feeling of hopelessness the world seems to push all the time. Thank you Steve.

Steve is a gift to us all, there's nothing better than his calm commentary, mixed with stealth camping in locations that have an eerie charm to them. You would never look at that grouping of trees by a scale, and suspect someone is there camping.

I am watching the video and Steve cracks open his not a beer and hear him say "Cheers everybody".....I automatically raise my coffee mug up and say cheers... It is always like you are there and camping with Steve when I watch!

Steve, you’ve encouraged this 19 year old to do what he’s always wanted to try out for fun since first watching Mav (started watching you a bit after). There’s nothing like sitting down while eating/trying to chill out and watching some Camping with Steve. Truly, thank you for all of the entertainment etcetera. Hope all is well, we’re always supporting you and anxiously waiting for your next video! Funny story I remembered as you mentioned people doing donuts in the dirt not caring about you haha. Me and a buddy as 13 year olds wayy back tarp camped mid winter (kind of dumb, I know haha). We were actually fine with our set up/cots etcetera but some jeeps came in to the field where we were to have some fun.. about 10-15 mins later after they left etcetera, a cop showed up haha. It scared me in a way, because my friend had ran home to grab some stuff, but the cop ended up being super cool/understanding haha.. good times.

“Nothing to explode, tip over or catch fire” I had to double check that it was camping with Steve. Love ya buddy. ❤

This is honestly the best part of my Thursdays! Thank you so much Steve.

Steve, I have been traveling and just got to watch this video. It’s been posted for 3 days and has over 467k views. You have to be the most popular Canadian. Seriously, enjoyed the camping trip and looking forward to next week. Stay warm and safe.

Truly the best out there. The most genuine guy/ KZfaq channel in existence right now.

We love you Steve. No worries on getting caught up or how long it takes for each video. We will all be here whenever you are able to put content out.

The drone footage is always so awesome!! Besides all the stealthing, you always do an incredible job with the filming side of things!!💙 📷

As some one who lives in cold climate - rain is way worse in my opinion. Actually just couple degrees above freezing rain especially in is windy - the only weather I truly dislike. I always take 0°F (-18°C) blizzard then that : D I made makeshift winter shield for my face and walked for hours in that weather while listening audiobook and it was bast. While we hiked with friends last weekend and it was slush (snow and rain combined), I was kinda ok because I brought plastic rain coat, but my friends were miserable. All their winter clothes couldn't take more water and they started to freeze so we left. Snow also was very heavy and hard to walk and winter shoes which are not perfectly waterproof started to become wet. So my vote would be rain as it is way more dangerous unless you are completely prepared.

Just wanted to give a quick comment and let you know how much your channel means to me. Just an average joe guy that craves content that isn't so damn negative. Which unfortunately seems to be all I see these days, no matter whether I'm looking or not. I hope you know that you're one of the less than 1% of people on this earth that is loved by so many people that have never met you. And that's solely because you are simply and beautifully...you. thanks for all your content Steve. Cheers brother

Hey Steve, sorry for your loss, there is no words I can say to make you feel better, feel hugged and never give up! I must have watched at least 40 of your videos in the last week (I'm new to your channel), I keep coming back here which is rare in my case since I have ADHD but you got such a calm, relaxing and positive way of handling things! Thank you for being you Steve, I will share the occasional step 2 with you in front of my screen! Wish you all the best!

Did you film this on a Thursday? This is literally my old stomping grounds (we used to have high school bush parties in those exact woods where you camped...loads of trails back there, and we definitely ran into bears a few times!) and in the 90s the local volunteer fire departments used to do their training, which is exactly what this looked like, on Thursday evenings. Shoutout Lantzville Volunteer Fire Department, who were probably there that night!

I love your stuff Steve. I’ve been a photographer since I was in grade school. Had my own darkroom on high school in the 70s. Worked my way up through some digital cameras and go pros. Got a drone about a year ago, around the same time I found this KZfaq channel. Your Drone footage makes great b-roll, and you could certainly have a few more seconds on every cut. I like that Birdseye view, that lets us see the lay of the land. Camp on, my friend.

As someone who lives in that area, the homeless population is so visible and large, that you could feasibly camp anywhere without making a fuss. Pretty cool to see my town in one of your vids 👍

Steve - just wanted to say thank you for all you've done. I have been having a rough time lately. My wife is in the hospital and quite sick. I've been watching a lot of your videos, including past videos. It helps calm me down and reduces my anxiety. I look forward to seeing your videos every week. Best wishes to you!

I was afraid the fire and rescue were there for training, like searching for a missing camper. Just waiting for the dogs to come out and straight to you lol They would have just wanted your autograph 🤣 Thanks for bring us along Steve!

I love using the evergreens with their low hanging bowels inside is like a house and sometimes even when it snows it's all dry and clean and warm ☺️

Ur living the dream of every guy out here. Enjoy it and keep it up as long as u can. Ur a hero for men all over.

My life is really really stressful right now (which is completely relative to everyone else's situation) but when I see a new Camping with Steve video, I'm 100% ready to not give a shit about my problems. Thank you Steve!

Hey Steve, nice video. A quick tip - instead of rolling your tent, just stuff it in the stuff sack. That way, there's no creases on the tent which could possibly crack over time and it's a lot easier and quicker. Looking forward to the next one!

There's a certain joy inducing vibe that Steve gives off. You can tell he is a genuine kind person who's doing this camping thing for the love of it after all Steve is the proprietor of the stealth! Having lived in the Olympic wilderness for four years with a three legged dog and a Lincoln town car that we treated like a SUV made me thankful for anyone willing to share the path they had taken from being homeless to home. Hope you are healing Steve glad you kept joy in your hart through everything.

Love these videos of Steve going camping. It's relaxing watching Steve set up his campsites as he never really gets to excited or uptight if things do not go just as planned. Thanks Steve for taking us camping with you.

I love it when I recognize the places you camp at! Brings back so many memories of road trips and amazing times 😁

"Looks like a whole fire ttruck convention or something." Yeah, it takes a lot of brave men to root out "Super" Steve Wallis from a top secret stealth camp!

At 20:00 mark while Steve is talking about staying dry, you can clearly see rain leaking in his tent and running down the wall right behind him. I hope he stayed dry. Camping to me isn't about perfect camping, its about adapting to the environment. Good job as always Steve.

Enjoying this camp so much. Feels like classic Steve! Super happy to see you doing well, Steve!

Hey Steve, nice Toque you have there. Thanks for showing us that camping is easy, fast, and fun under any weather.

To lift people’s spirits when you’re down is a true gift from the heavens. Thanks for sharing that gift with the YT world Mr Wallis.

Loving the use of the drone in this video! Really helps to show off the spot and just how close you are to all the action. Hope you've been staying well Steve, we're all rooting for you.

These past couple locations have been quite peaceful. Always enjoy your videos, and look forward to the next one. Thanks Steve. Stay Safe Out There. Cheers.

That Geer Top tent seems pretty good as I've seen you use it a number of times. Another good stealth camp.

Oof, I needed this. Recently quit all my vices cold turkey and been having some very frustrating withdrawal symptoms, so this is just what I needed for my stress today! Glad to see you're still keeping on Steve :D Thank you for being you and for being real my dude

I can never tell the real “oh crap we’re gunna get caught” moments from “I’m just paranoid” I love the suspense either way. Keep up the great work Steve, you’re the best!

A small pair of garden pruners are really versatile and good for blackberries/small branches etc. also good for processing a lot of different food and all sorts of other uses. They are easy to carry in a holster.

Steve you're awesome and I am so happy to be a small part of your youtube entourage!! Keep on keeping on much love brother 🙏

This is the only you tube channel that makes me smile when I see there's a new update. Even bigger smile when its Steve stealth camping somewhere weird.

Great to see you back at it Steve; but you don’t have to push yourself to get “caught up” on filming. Sometimes we just need time, and we think we’re doing great but then it blows back up on us. Take the time time you need, when you need it, we’re not going anywhere! 💕

i love your channel steve! Because of its simplicity, very sensible in all things ascociated with camping like using the handy, ready, effective household stuff instead of the back breaking ways to make fire, cook food etc. and above all, its relaxing! You actually inspired me to write a song😀 I entitled it 'Hunker Down'

Cheers Steve, thanks for a fun vid as ever - looks cold! Would love to learn more about how you stay warm for each trip. Safe travels!

Thursdays... The perfect crime, the perfect time. Thank you Steve!!

Thanks for taking us along with you on your trips. You may not realize it but for most of us you are literally doing what we all wish we would or could do. Thanks Steve!

My father's name was Steve and he passed in 99. Your videos help me in a way you couldn't imagine, Steve, and I appreciate every single one. Hang in there and when things seem hard, just remember the impact you're making on people like me. Take care, happy camping.

Your content is better than mainstream T.V. l so look forward to watching every week and I've been with you for many years now buddy! Keep up the great work. We all appreciate you so much Steve. Best wishes my friend.

Love seeing you do one of your classic stealth camps, Steve. Can’t imagine how unbelievably hard the last few months have been for you, but as always, everyone is with you in spirit and we love watching you do what you love.

We're not suffering subscribers. Out of ALL of the channels I follow on KZfaq. I actually look forward to Thursdays cause I get to watch you do what you love! And I enjoy the hell out of it. I might have to give it a try this year and upload my adventures here in Colorado. You've givin me the hankering for more hunkering. Even put a camper shell on my truck cause of you. Thanks for what you do steve. Much love my man.

So therapeutic to watch. Thanks for sharing, Steve!

Big love from the UK Steve. I find peace of mind watching your videos and no doubt millions of others do too. Pretty cool thing man. Hope you feel that same peace too.

Driving back from Edson last week and near Hinton, saw a light shining out of a culvert under the highway and instantly thought of you. I almost stopped to check it out. 😅 cheers Steve

Steve, my household screams when you upload. It’s kind a holiday every time. Thank you so much for all that you do.

Excellent stealth camp. I've been away for a few weeks and have missed seeing your camping festivities. You're always in my prayers, Steve. ❤🙏

Love you Steve! Thanks for taking us along! I was cold just watching you.. but you are the stealth warrior!

Love the drone footage. Glad you're still producing these great videos. Remember you are never alone steve - your loyal subscribers and Jess are always with you no matter what you do or where you go 😀

Nothing like a Camping With Steve video to turn a rough day into bearable one. Love you man.

I simply can't get enough of this man. Steve you have such an amazing soul. And such a incredible human being.😊

Thanks for all the content, Steve. Pro tip: wait to throw your broccoli in until the last minute or two of the boil so you only blanch them. They keep a good crunch that way rather than becoming mushy. Hope you try it and like it!

You just don’t realise how much beautiful countryside surrounds you when you are speeding down the highway

My man Steve has hundreds of thousands of us waiting on his videos. Rocks what ever tent and sleeping bags he can find. No b.s sponsor’s, just real input. Your the man Steve

Hi Steve! Thanks for taking us with you on another stealth adventure! Was fun as always, bit wet...but the umbrella was a saviour👍!❤️🇵🇹

Thanks Steve. Really enjoy watching you camp in an environment different to my own. Here in the UK, it's usually rain ..... and no bears!

i found steve as an escape when my sister died and ive been hooked watching ever since. as a canadian im proud knowing great people like him reside in this vast country

Coming home from work, putting the baby bed, cracking open a step two and watching Steve. Doesn't get much better then that

I love how you pick up litter, really doing gods work. We thank you!

Thanks for another great camping trip, Steve. We love you!!

Thanks, Steve! Watching you camping out in the elements makes me thankful for my humble home. It's not a palace, but it's warm.

Hope you’re doing well Steve, please keep the stealth camps coming we all love em!!! You’re one of my favourite channels !

This is a new one, a place I’d never think to camp… I love it! This is awesome 🙌🏻

First time watcher, so I don’t have any history/context to your channel but I find it fascinating that you have so many subs on a topic like this. It seems like a “how to start a homeless encampment without getting caught” video. Crazy.

You know it's the weekend when you catch up with Steve

I've been homeless on and off for a couple of years. I'm staying with a friend now recovering from surgery on one of my feet for frostbite. I just came across this channel and it's still very relaxing to watch steve "camp" in all enviroments!

I can't speak for everyone, but my guess is that you have really given a lot us so much with these videos. Watching feels peaceful in an otherwise very stressful world. It's almost as good as meeting up with a friend when a new one comes out. Thanks, Steve. You make a lot of people happy.

Here's an idea. Miniature campout. You arrive in an Izetta and emerge holding an ice fishing rod while wearing shorts and sandals. Maybe a birthday hat? You cook on a mosquito stove and educate us on smallest available stove getups. Your pot is an old Early Winters belt hanger hiker's cup you found in a yard sale or on the bottom of some trout stream and regale us with that story. And sleep in a harness or mountain climbers cocoon hanging in a Christmas tree. Campfire is a coffee can full of Georgia fatwood splinters. Dinner could be quarter size crabcakes on crackers. Or smashburgers shooter marble size. Little pony beers for step two. You could speak only in a whisper. You'll be like Gulliver's travels.

I don't expect weekly videos, but I am really happy when they occur. Thanks for another moment of zen.

A great Thursday gift for us all! Hope you’re well Steve ❤

You’re the best man, I got the set up recently for stealth camping and you’re just making me crave the fun!!

Mr. Steve Wallis I pray all is well with you. Please try a two day trip if you can that would be awesome. You are awesome bro. I lost my father a couple of months ago and you have truly helped me through. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
