He was a Vietnam vet. Not all cops are that good, but some are. Stay safe, Steve.

@@jacobpoucher The Saskatoon freezing deaths were a series of three deaths of Indigenous Canadians in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the early 2000s, which were confirmed to have been caused by members of the Saskatoon Police Service. The police officers would arrest Indigenous people, usually men, for alleged drunkeness and/or disorderly behaviour, sometimes for reasons without cause.The officers would then drive them to the outskirts of the city at night in the winter, and abandon them, leaving them stranded in sub-zero temperatures. Please tell me more about how Canadian cops are somehow different. But wait, there's more: The practice was known as taking Indigenous people for "starlight tours" and dates back to 1976. As of 2021, despite convictions for related offences, no Saskatoon police officer has been convicted specifically for having caused freezing deaths.

Ive worked along side LEO my whole life as a medic. They’re just like you and I. Of course there are a few “bad ones”. There are also a few “bad” nurses, firemen, teachers etc. It’s the PERSON that is bad. NOT the job they do. In general, people in That line of work want nothing more than to help people... more than the average person in fact. Everyday they wake up and put their life and emotional well being at risk. It’s just that cops are in a position of authority. When they get a bad apple, they stand out more. I won’t even say they cause more damage. Bad people that become nurses etc.. get away w more damage because the public is unsuspecting. No one believes, or wants to believe theres an “Angel of Mercy” doing Gods bidding until it’s too late. Everyone wants to hang cops out to dry. If anything, it’s gets them out of a ticket. Honestly, I’d be so scared to be a cop. Never knowing if pulling over a car to give a simple tail light out warning could be someone transporting drugs. Then they’re shot dead on the side of the road when all they were going to do was write WARNING... Merry Christmas!

True, but if 'stealth' is the game plan, then discovery means you lost.

In my Camping with Steve head canon, Steve’s arch nemesis is a mid-level RCMP officer who’s a real hardo. He watches Steve’s stealth camping videos, grinding his teeth and grumbling to himself as he gets angrier and angrier every week. This officer thinks that every view Steve gets is a slap in the face to himself and the entire RCMP. He has a big map of Canada on the wall behind his desk filled with pushpins charting his best guesses as to where Steve has camped so far and where he might go next. Worst of all in the mind of this hardo RCMP Officer is that his superiors have been ignoring his reports on Steve’s stealth camping activities for years now.

Straight lines draw the eye of humans especially when they are parallel to the ground. Straights and 90 degree angles are very rare in nature. Learned this from years of hunting on public lands. Turkey or deer don't care, but make the edge jagged or curved if you don't want to be seen as easily by other "hunters". Also, If your blind edge had been closer to ground level it would helped as well by allowing ground cover to break up the edge. Especially in a high contrast black and white environment.

I gotta say - as a fan of Steve this was the riskiest of all Steve's videos. I have woods behind my house, and when you're really, really familiar with them you notice even the smallest difference and in the winter even more so. Someone taking out the trash and hearing talking - and the snow makes even the lowest light really bright. Glad it didn't turn out badly. But I also must say - if Steve were to get busted at some spot like behind a road sign or some other "public" place, he really could (and should) play the "I'm a photographer and youtuber who does these things for a living" card and he may well avoid any legal trouble. But this one was dicey from the start..

Steve, you are an inspiration. Three and a half years ago I lost my wife, heart failure diagnosed 17 years before but due to a chest infection in late 2017 which made the issue much worse she passed away in June 2018 aged 67..Since then I have suffered with complicated grief, ptsd , anxiety and depression. This year is the fourth Christmas without her, the previous 3 I have put her decorations up but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I haven't bothered. Christmas is on my own but I have a roof and warmth and some food and internet for company..I watch all of your videos, look forward to them every week..Listening to you saying about the homeless and donating to charities , food banks etc reminded me that one year my wife donated so that a homeless person could have a bed for the night, showers, clean clothes, haircut and a warm bed for the night and I thought what could I do, sitting here with very little money I realised I had 2 flasks, a very big one and a smaller one and enough money to buy some biscuits and cheap mince pies. I dug out a couple of jackets and jumpers I no longer wear and went out on the streets. it took a while but eventually I found 3 homeless people that drank all the coffee and took the food and clothing from me and thanked me very much. I was out about 3 hours..I am going to do it again and again. You inspired me to do that Steve, thank you my virtual friend.

It took me so long to y first and what you were trying to say about beer donations when I finally realized you’d rather have folks donate to charity and be featured on your channel than donate to you. That is the sweetest, most altruistic mindset, it caught me off guard! What a beautiful idea, but I don’t think it’s bad to accept money for what you do yourself! We value what you do for all of us, and that’s one way we can show our appreciation and help you out, and you deserve it! But I admire your choice to divert those donations back into the local communities so much! ❤️ The world would be so much brighter with more folks like you! ❤️

The reality is at this point in his YT career he could easily explain what he's doing and back up his story with a successful YT channel.

Steve, that was not a fail. It was pure action and wisdom, continue to have a bless time with your beautiful family. Garbage rocks 😃 😊

When camping in snowy conditions you need to keep your camp as low profile as possible. Your snow camo blind was too high and had too many straight lines to the horizon. Light displicine is also a must because the least bit of light in clear snow conditions travel a long way and is brighter than spring,summer and fall. Also it seems that sound travels better in snowy nights because the lack of other background noises like bugs, birds and road traffic. I myself am glad that you didn't end up in someone's basement putting lotion on your skin 😉

We really appreciate the risks you take for OUR entertainment. But even more, you're appreciated for the person you are. This world needs more folks like you. Happy Holidays Steve, Beaut Wife, Garbage, and Crazy Neighbor

Love your tales of stealth camping. Just had infusion today for my cancer. Couldn't wait to get home and watch your videos

Two things that may be helpful to know: 1) SOME sort of shelter overhead, even if it's just a shower curtain, reflects heat back down to you that would otherwise be radiated off into space. That's why the coldest nights have clear skies - they let the heat radiate away. A white or light colored cover is best, but even sheltering under an evergreen tree will help. 2) If you feed a stray cat, it's yours. It's a law of nature.

Getting out of there was almost certainly the smart move. Flashlight dude was unquestionably looking for you, and it is probably enough, seeing that, to think it is not worth the risk if that cop car you passed on the way out. It was still some good drama seeing the set up and tear down, so I think you accomplished your usual mission of making a good stealth camping video, even if you only barely got to the camping part. Also, it is kinda ballsy to try it near residential areas to begin with. I know you usually have good luck on that front, but that will have to run out eventually. I'm still waiting for you to revisit the culvert idea. I know the last one was a disaster, but now that you know what to expect, perhaps you can mitigate some of the issues you found in that big steel tunnel. Maybe going and getting some moving blankets/furniture pads and hauling those there, to act as walls held up by neodymium magnets to stop the wind tunnel effect, and if there is room, that cot-tent inside all of that to try to stop the metal from absorbing all the ambient heat, is something you could try. I likewise think it would be cool to see you buy some ad time on one of those billboards, with your face on it asking people to donate to charities, while you camp behind it and film a video. You'd be doing some good charity stuff and spreading out good cheer and the spirit of giving, all while creating your own version of a Steveception.
