River Camping Under Highway Bridge

I found a great camping spot underneath a highway bridge. A beautiful river ran right beside the campsite and was the perfect place to hunker down and camp for the night. Some highway noise made it hit and miss overnight, but the white noise of the river made camping far more enjoyable than expected!

    Don't ever second guess your channel's genre decision, you didn't just pigeon hole yourself into low hanging fruit, you took an obscure niche side of KZread and blew it up into the mainstream by making the best videos of the kind. You weren't the first but you're hands down the best! And as an islander (& trucker) I'm loving how I instantly recognize every spot you've been to lately! This one in particular I wouldn't worry about seeing anyone on that trail outside of summer tubing season or fall salmon fishing season. Now I'm just waiting to see myself driving by in my truck in one of your videos! (sorry if I woke you up at 4am)

    i support this content, but at the same time i can't wrap my head around stealth camper's desire to sleep among human waste and detritus. i'd never want to camp close to civilization or well travelled trails. paranoia of digging into someone else's cathole or stepping on their log has been an ocd of mine.

If he wanted to camp off the grid he could do that but the average person stealth camping just to find a place to sleep isn’t going to look for an off the grid campsite they often end up under a bridge like Steve in this video.

Steve has talked several times in the past about how little you need - a blanket, a sheet of plastic or a tarp, some food and water, and something to carry it in. After watching channels where they're camping with $800 in tents, sleep systems, backpacks, and cooking gear it's refreshing to come here and see Steve stomping on sticks for firewood.

    Your camping videos take me back to what I did in my younger days. I'm 72 years old. In my 20's and 30's, I camped similar to this. I would camp in state and forestry parks locations that were not allowed. Most times, I didn't use a tent and had no fire. I left no trace that I was there. That was true camping. Your videos get me out there like the good old days. Thank you. If you're ever in the San Diego, Southern California area, look me up. I'll buy you dinner and talk about camping until we've both had enough.
