I met Jess and she was a very beautiful lady. Steve is an awesome person!!!!

Always thinking of Steve and Jess.

He is. Every time. He's not a man so much as a natural spontaneous phenomenon that develops in culverts.

I saw that one! When that car parked on top of it, I thought he was caught.

breakfast whiskey is the best type of whiskey

Certainly awesome to have a partner that not only doesn't mind your hobbies and/or odd ways...but supports them! I would say that's the exception to the rule unfortunately...beautiful wife is the best! 😉

Such a sad and unfortunate thing to hear. I’m so sorry for your loss Steve.. I know you don’t want to say it, but you know what I mean when I say it. They lied.

Same and I was somewhat disappointed

I think that was the intent of what the people wanted to see.

Kautsky1000 Haha so did I 😂.... that would’ve been great!

I'm so new to the channel, I unfortunately found it just days before the news, but I keep getting recommended his videos and they're always fun. This is the first one where it appears Jess is involved (holding the camera), so I'm kind of feeling this one a bit :/

Who?

@@ClaytonWillisMusic He's always alone in the videos.

@@ClaytonWillisMusic was holding it in the car.. jeez you guys have to argue everything

@@ClaytonWillisMusic It was clear that Beautiful Wife was holding the camera in the car at the start of the video since both of Steve's arms & hands are in frame & on the steering wheel, and it was obvious that that is what the other person was referring to (since it's the only part where it happens). You incorrectly said she wasn't holding the camera, maybe you didn't notice or missed that part or forgot, which is fine. However, when several people corrected you, instead of double checking, you kept arguing that you were right when you're not. Chill.

Sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss❤

I am so sorry for your loss!!! But, as you said, he was doing what he loved! That's the important part!!!

Tolerates? You realize his videos get hundreds and hundreds of thousands of views right? And that that translates into big money right? Not to mention donations....lol Tolerates...pfft

@@SimpleM4N He didn't always have so many views. Don't know if his wife was with him when he started doing this or if she got with him after he was successful with it, but if she was there from the beginning, there was tolerance.

No matter what I’m in the Beautiful Wife fan club! They are both great people!

She gets a night away from crazy Steve and he gets to stealth camp.. win-win

@@SimpleM4N You dont start with this many views. Plus recording and editing is still hard work and a lot of channels do not many nearly as much money as people think. also youtube takes 30% from every donation.

Yup. At the start of winter we hate it but by the end of it the air itself is warmer some days and we've all gotten used to it. Won't stop us complaining half the time 😅

🇨🇦

I never been to Canada, only flew over it on my way to the States, but I'm pretty sure this was filmed during the Summer, so it was a perfectly fine summer day for him!

Yep. More Steve! 🙃

Same.

It’s like rediscovering steve1989 in camping edition

Yes! Me too lol

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Yes

Pretty please Steve!!!! 🙏

Do you guys want to see him be arrested for trespassing? C'mon now. You don't want to see that.

247vancity I want to see him camp at the 7-Eleven that close down

Imagine that, stealth camping and he paints a picture of his surroundings

Sometimes the sleeping bags get stuck in the bag, you just gotta beat the devil out of it, he he (funny Bob Ross laugh)

Yes! He does like happy trees.

And both probably CIA

So true. Both are good for your mental health

No way could I even sleep here way to much noise. LOL CRAZY

I believe one of the best qualities here is that he seems to feel safe.

@@ceec6923 enjoy life and hunker down while being safe good buddy

Ikr! As soon as I opened the video and saw that it's 38 minutes long, I thought to myself: dis gon be good!

This was a great stealth camping video!

Right on

Maybe that's partly why nothing happens - he takes every reasonable precaution.

With a lot less ice though if you know what I mean.

Other than the fact that Steve is actually a good person, yeah, spot on...

More like the bob ross of camping

As somebody who has spent a bit of time partially homeless and had to spend some nights in my car in areas I wasn't supposed to be, you can never be too careful. I once got busted by an employee at a Walmart because I'd left a set of footprints in the snow going out and back from my car when I had to "use the facilities" as Steve would say.

I want to know why he was fired! My curiosity has been tweaked! Great channel!

I believe he was stealth camping in a vault.

@@jasonh9957 ha ha!!

How did he manage to get himself fired

Is that true

Yep, when he opened the whiskey and said "the sun sets on another day, another day on this world" it made me think

Cody Columbia . Yes. I love stealth camping in my minivan. Anywhere is so much fun

He`s an inspiration to us all !

@@jackmehoff2961yes he is

@@GH05TM0V3R an old Yooper once told me``it`s not trespassing, until the cops tell you to leave``. He was referring to metal detecting. But same difference.

We can watch you "struggle" to get away with some very unusual (at least) campgrounds while we sit at our homes warm enough in front of a computer screen. "That's entertainment!"

With unlimited access to our choice of 'step two'! Good fun. Be safe

I like him because he's real and he comes up with crazy ideas. He seems like the kind of person you'd like to work with.

Agreed: )

yeah his wife is off to go spend some time with Tyrone while he's goofing around camping.

@@inspectorjavert5563 racist

He knows she watches

LOL

That's a great idea.

That's a genius idea

Steve did that one already to the max . Him and Crazy neighbor pulled off the side of a road set up a bay of scaffolding ( how they fit that in the suv I'll never know) and put on some Hi Vis vests. set traffic cones all around and wrapped the scaff with tarps. inside they had a few planks for sleeping on . He even brought a big blue toooth speaker set up inside and played sounds of drills and hammers etc for a few hours til they went to sleep ! And of course no one bothered them !

Not much of a hill if they can mow the grass there. It's more of a rise (raised up area - for readers unaccustomed to the term) in their lawn.

He said hill not cliff

MarkoCloud . Hahaha your comment is funny

its legal he is alone out there XD

Lol

i was saying legal in the mindset of the corona virus social distancing héhé

MarkoCloud extreme social distancing, new outdoor sport! ⛺️😷😜

It's a little harder to find people like that today. 24 years ago, when I got lost in France because my youth group gave me the wrong directions for day 2 of 3 of our outdoor "bike and hike" the police dumped me at this kind woman's house, who i couldn't speak to very well, because she knew a bit more English than the officer, and my French was middle school limited. I showed her my camping gear, but she insisted on me using the bed inside the guest room. The next morning I was then arrested, handcuffed and driven into town, released from the handcuffs and put on a bus. I arrived at the final check point 14 hours too early. My bike and equipment arrived 3 hours after I did. And a new city officer waited with me until the youth leader arrived and filled out the paperwork. Most of my friends joked that I broke the speed limit because of my extremely fast finishing time. To this day I still don't know why they cuffed me on my escort to the bus. I was a young teen, who just got separated from my group. I thought I behaved well, but maybe the language barrier caused something I said to be offensive. IDK.

@macomegaly5116 way more exciting than anything that happened when I was cycling around Europe lol

@@outdoor75 well I'm partly to blame, because I got ahead of everyone and was working with the incorrect data. So I don't know where I lost them but it was at least an hour searching for the third landmark that didn't exist in the direction I was traveling before I knew I was in trouble. (One landmark was a fork in the road, and the other was a sign pointing towards Paris. Slightly too common landmarks. Lol) At that point I realized that I didn't have the information for how to get to the next point, and even if I turned around there wasn't anyone left behind to try and follow. I had water, food and my camping gear so I was going to survive the night but I didn't have a cell phone back then. And I abandoned my partner who hated my guts. So I ended up going to the nearest village and flagged down the officer. I could say "I don't speak French." "My name is Mac". And "where is the library?", (Because that phrase made me laugh.) As well as count to 10. I would have been doomed, if I didn't also have a sheet of paper that explains the group I was with and my destination pre typed out in French.

Clicked in the last one with Crazy neighor n I believe this is the last one with Jess.

Just drive around in Western Washington and you will see that kind of non-stealth "camping" all over the place. Far too many homeless people. In Seattle, they are literally sleeping on the concrete pads right next to the freeway in long lines of tents.

Watch his documentary, "boondocking" I think?

@@Cars0666 I would second your suggestion in general, but he doesn't tell the story in the documentary. Great to see how far he has come since those days.

The Yeti Rides Again

That was what I was thinking when he walks out to the edge of the bush scoping his camp when the sun going down

Well said

Life is waaaay too long and so many more years to go. I watch Steve's videos because no matter how bad things are in my life, spending the night in a hammock in the snow drinking a beer, would be worse.

He was in the military though

Yes good to know you dont need bushcraft skills to do these kinds of camping or camping in general.

@àsper Get outtahere

So very true! I think this is my third time lol.

Probably my third time

So True. Even the survival shows have been bastardized. Nekkid and afraid is just ridiculous. Just found this chan and im binge watching now.

I thought the same - that's why I love KZfaq, just normal people doing organic things than the rubbish that's on TV/Netflix

I just hope that all you generous donars to the 'beer-foundation' keep donating .. so that the rest of us poor cheap-skates can keep watching ; )

Funny how if you look like you belong, so very few people will ever question you. Back in my youth when I had less to lose on several occasions I wandered around in more than a few places with either a clipboard or a hard-hat or both. Add a collared shirt and a couple of pens in the pocket...

I was so used to my presence never being questioned that the first time it happened I was like a deer in the headlights even though I was actually supposed to be there.

Ricochet Steve did that before when he camped out with crazy neighbour in the ice fishing tent by the railway

The police probably gave him the hi vis items for his own safety.
