Steve just camps in a random place, for one night, in a random shelter. Then he has a drink, cooks and eats some food, and sleeps. No real action. Yet I can't stop watching.

The world needs more Steve.

Steve seems like the type of good friend who you can sit outdoors with and he'll keep a nice friendly conversation going while cooking a soup buffet

I legit will watch this when I wake up and am trying to go back to sleep. I'm not saying it's boring but that it's relaxing. So far the audio is very level. He never yells and there are no spikes in the audio. It's great to listen to while falling asleep. Especially this episode, with the rain hitting the tarp.

90% of people would have bolted straight back to their truck with this weather. Steve sleeps like a happy bear and wakes up in a total winter wonderland like it's no big deal lol :D

“About the size of a cheap hot dog” is a term I will use now when talking about diameter. This man doesn’t miss. Legend.

He's not only camping in adverse conditions, but he's also out there taking the time to film different shots while setting up camp, I appreciate these shots, and his tenacity through out this process. good job brother.

Steve is like the Mr Rogers of camping.

Steve is the antidote to the modern world's angst. He's a peaceful gentle soul!

I like you Steve, you’re just a normal guy who likes to sit outside.

The sound of the fire crackling and the rain or sleet falling on the tarp, and Steve's calm voice, what could be more relaxing? I can almost taste the garlic.

The sound of the rain on the tarp makes this so cozy

Every other camping channel: always try you gear before you go into the woods Steve takes it out of the package in the woods. Great channel, I’ve enjoyed every episode I’ve watched

Man, I can’t tell you the last time I went camping and I don’t know how KZfaq thought I needed Steve, but I can’t stop watching his videos.. this guy cracks me up and he isn’t even trying to be funny.. I have so many quotes from this guy it’s not even funny... thank you Steve for helping me through a shitty time in my life..also the fact he is so worried about being busted.. I watched him run and crawl through the woods running from a security guard that was half a mile away at a construction site who probably couldn’t care less Steve was in the woods.. man I was crying I was lol so hard.. I showed my buddy and he now can’t get enough Steve.. you are a true Canadian outlaw Steve..

Does anyone find laying in a warm bed indoors watching Steve do his thing so relaxing? Sorry Steve!

You are one of the few KZfaqrs that actually show a Storm and the process of going through it.. great content man, I've been a subscriber for a long time now

Steve " tarps up but seems like the rain has stopped" *Audible rain drops pounding the tarp* lol love it

Others have said it, but I'll say it again: We need a camping with Steve cook book, with a recommended step two for each dish.

I can't stop watching these videos. Just a single guy, outdoors, braving the elements, having a step 2. So simple - yet a lot of work and planning. Thank you Steve!

I don't know why but this is the video I keep coming back to again and again to fall asleep to. Must be the constant patter of rain on the tarp and Steve's soothing voice

The can opener with the label still attached! Priceless!

"don't look to me for safety advice and... Don't do this." Me: "NOW we're camping with Steve!"

One additional thing to note about using cheap blue gardening tarps: the grommet pull out REALLY easily.

I love it, in gale force winds Steve says "the wind is a little aggressive today" in his upbeat way. Love this man!

i love this man so much, he’s just living his best life, i have nothing but great things to say about him

My only wish is to figure out how to be as chill and loving of life as Steve is.

I've never seen someone sound so happy to be in a miserable situation. Either he is a super positive person or a great actor!

Hi Steve, I notice this video is a couple years old. I've been watching you for about a year now, and I know you've learned a lot. I just want to mention something I've learned in camping across the country. When you build your fire, find and place two flat-top rocks beside the fire, spaced apart by about 2/3 the width of your pan, with the spaced area in a channel facing the fire. Once you get some coals, scoop some of them between the rocks. Now you can place your pan on the rocks and cook. At the same time you can put more wood on your original fire without disturbing your cooking, which gives you more light and heat. The coals will cook your food without covering your pans with soot, so you'll have easier cleanup. If you can't find rocks, a couple wet semi-rotten logs will work as well. Your meal will be long cooked before they catch fire.

Any day camping with Steve is better than no day!

The best safety advice that Steve has ever given us: "Don't look to me for safety advice".

Steve is the nicest, most well mannered and level headed tough guys I've ever seen.

I love the sound of rain on that tarp. I think I would sleep like a baby listening to that rain.

There are people who spend 1000's of dollars on camping gear and eat cold soaked things. And then there's guys like Steve who actually know what's up.

When that guy got busted for camping on Disney Island, the first thing my wife said was "Was it Steve?". Hilarious! We love ya Steve!

You are the dad I never had, thanks Steve.

Him just eating a hardy stew, in a forest, cold, just felt so cozy and such a homey feel. Wow this channel is rucking amazing.

Steve: *rocks happily* "It just doesn't get any better than this." 10/4, good buddy. 10/4.

Steve's camping is helping me through a very trying time in my life , Thanks my friend .

These videos are so fun, wholesome, and relaxing. Steve, you do tremendous work, sir. Much love.

Watching Steve's videos as an avid camper/backpacker I see a lot of things that you should never do and other things that should be done differently/better. Then I realize that Steve gets by just fine and does no harm, and his voice just makes me put all my criticism to the side and just enjoy his videos for what they are. Thanks Steve!

I like this guy don't know why, oh yeah because he's honest and real, this what youtube was intended for.

I like that he’s not putting on like he’s Daniel Boone himself. Just a dude in the woods getting some dirt time not a noob and not some radical hipster. Just a dude some beers killing some time and doing a little KZfaq

That soup just looks incredible, I think the weather just enhances it and the whole setting is so atmospheric. Time to go camping and make a soup!

I’m going through one of the hardest nights of my life and I’m so happy I at least have Steve to sit here with me to crack open a step 2 with. You’re a true pal Steve please never stop doing what you do.

"We dont want a fire big enough to melt the plastic" *pours a pint of starter fluid on the wood 😆

I never remove the tag from my can openers either. They depreciate in value if you do.

On paper, the meals Steve makes would not sound appealing to me but then when he makes whatever he’s making it looks so good

i am addicted to watching Steve, he's just so down to earth and easy going :)

I appreciate how Canadian this channel is

"Add two cloves of garlic" *dumps in about 10 cloves worth* This man knows the true correct amount of garlic.

Steve, this reminds me of camping when I was younger (minus the Step 2). I'm approaching 60 but I have plans to get back out into nature. Until then, I will live vicariously thru you. Happy trails, mate!

I love watching Steve in the evening ... No drama. Just a dude minding his business camping in spots I always thought that would be interesting to camp at

I love the storm camping. The constant background audio of the rain on the tarp is very soothing. More hunkering storm camping! Cheers!

"About the size of the cheap hot dog" I refuse to use any other metric of measurement now.

I love the quantities of food that are cooked during a good Steve Wallis camp out

He always eats better than me even when he’s in a cheap hammock in a storm. What a legend

The one thing I love about Steve is how he gets by in the simplest way possible, there is something so appealing about it. He does not use all the fancy expensive equipment, he does not have amazing bushcraft skills, and the food he cooks is simple. But that’s what makes it so special, there is the saying “all the gear and no idea” but with Steve it’s “Simple gear and some idea” there are not many out there like Steve, he’s cut from a different cloth.

Seriously Steve is a great dude. There’s something to be said for guys that have perfectly good houses with clean dry beds and decide the second it starts raining to head out pop up a tarp and a hammock and sleep outdoors.

Bout a year late to this but I will say, I think you're a really likable person and you just seem so content with everything. I appreciate that a lot and I think you have a lot of potential in your KZfaq vlogging career! Keep up the good content and happy camping!

These Videos are so great. I think this is my 3rd time watching the whole of Steve's libary. Thank you so much Steve. Much love!

It’s nice that you made enough stew for yourself and the twenty guys on the camera crew.

I saw you use one of those tarps in another video a few months go, so the next time I went to see my fiancee (she lives in Ontario, I'm in New York) I got her to take me to Canadian Tire to get one. I love that place. Talk about stealth camping. Even your sporting goods stores are camouflaged as tire shops!

Love it. Previous Boy Scout + vet. Really burnt out on a lot lately. Have kept your videos playing all day and keeps me relaxed. Please keep up the good content and non-complex approach!

Just wonderful. Please don't stop Steve. From the North East of England. Stick in and take care. We love you.

Goes to store for some camping supplies. "Is this what Steve would use?" Walks to the clearance section. "Better, much better. More step two money"

Part of the enjoyment for me is "bad" weather. I love rain on a tarp or tent and it's a wonderful excuse to just sit there and really enjoy the moment. Awesome as always . Tell beautiful wife hello.

I'm watching this in 2023, and it never gets old. Steve is such a great guy. I'd really like to sit and have a step2 with him. Bless you Steve, wherever you are 11/08/2023.

love coming back to vids ive missed from steve over time. he is the most honest and loving youtuber ive come across, not gonna say anything else other than keep going strong my friend and hear comes a step two from me to you and your beautiful wife, may she rest in peace...... cheers mate \=/ keep ya head up like you have been on your new vids and always stay strong..

I'm an old Canadian exploration geologist and I love your videos! Keep up the good work!!!!

QotD: “You don’t want to be cutting onions, sitting there crying in nature”. 😂

Dude popped up on my feed a couple days ago out of nowhere and I’m slowly getting inspired to random camp here and there.

I have seriously made his camp recipes for my family dinners before. They always taste great. The camp nachos have been the favorite so far. Keep it up Steve

i feel like steve started out just going to the pub, but his wife wanted proof he was camping....and here we are.

Steve’s videos when he’s camping in the rain are the most relaxing things. I have gone camping once in my life and hated it, these videos make me want to try again.

This is my favourite Steve video. I’ve watched it probably 10 times already. Every time I need to calm down or I can’t sleep I watch it. ❤thank you Steve

Steve...thanks for you being you sir.

Nobody: Steve: I'm still a little sick but let's go camping in a storm 🤣

3:22 "Of course it seems like the rain has stopped now" _Rain pounding the tarp_

Let's get Steve to a million he deserves it.

I love the fact that you're really happy doing your video and your camping. It's really inspiring for me. I'm wishing you health and good luck!

I just woke up, In my cheap hammock on my balcony cause my phone was buzzing with a notification that Steve posted a video. Moved inside to the couch, cracked a step two and posted this comment.

dont ever sell out like rest of youtubers, Steve. The simplicity of your adventures is awesome! keep doing what you do! Much love from Oregon!

Thanks for doing these. They're so gentle, really helps me sleep.

Ive been homeless a few times. If it wasnt for my mothers help when I was a kid showing me how to live off the land, it would have been a much worse experience. Mom was an American Indian born on a reservation in Arizona and she knew a lot of survival skills. She had a rough but, full life. Homelessness is rough. The people you trust, often are your worst enemies. Stealth camping survival is nothing New to me. Hiding from cops and bad people are the Norm. So, in a way, Steves paranoia is understandable. ( Steve, my sympathies for the loss of your spouse. Ive lost two wives. ) The Best of Life to you, my Friend.

I can't think of anything more comforting then being in a tent or under a tarp with a small fire and the sound of rain hitting the tent outside. You crack me up Steve,,, you make such large amounts of food for just one guy! I love it

I suffer from insomnia but I found this Channel and I watch his shows every night before I go to sleep and pretend I'm on an adventure like him nice and comfy hunkered down and I fell asleep really fast👍😀

The thing that appeals to me the most about videos like this is that there is not SINGLE person about - TOTAL isolation - and it's wonderful

Steve I haven’t watched any of you videos for weeks, I have missed you so going back over some old ones, your voice calms me and I love your relaxed demeanour ❤️ I hope you are ok and mending from your broken heart sending love xxxx

Steve: "Of course, it seems like the rain has stopped now" *continued sound of rain on the tarp* Spoken like a true Pacific North-westerner!

"Small diameter wood, like the size of a cheap hotdog" 😂🔥🌭

In a world full of problems, this is the best way to get away from it all. Just camp, eat, rest, and live life on your terms. Getting in touch with nature. Forgetting about ror worldly problems at the moment. Time goes by to quickly. Enjoy it while you can.

Camping with steve is never late. Nor is steve early. Steve arrives precisely when it means to, camper.

"garlic two cloves" proceeds to dump a pound of garlic. "about two cloves" haha

Oh thanks for reminding me of that Christmas I bought my man his coveted cast iron camping stew pot. He was so happy. Those cheap earrings he gave me didn’t last til Super Bowl Sunday. Good memories... all that matters 😉

Steve is like Les Stroud on easy mode, and I love it

As an Australian I really can't comprehend snow like weather.

Great video! Something very satisfying about watching this dude camping under a stinking tarp during the middle of a stinking winter storm and cooking a damn bowl of hearty soup (and not a mention of any damn virus, well done)

Made enough food to feed all us watching at home too lol

Nothing will ever calm me more down than this video. Thank you for your service good sir.

The rain was a great relaxing sounds to hear. Bouncing off the tarp.
