To get rumbled a motorist driving at probably 70mph about 100 metres away would have to spot a green hammock under a green tarp behind a camo net in dense forest through a 1 metre gap. All while driving looking at the road in front of them not looking for anything by the sign. After all that they would then have to decide to stop and do something about it. You're fine Steve!

I wanna be that guy too helping out others struggling. But I gotta get myself successful first in school. It's hard to survive in Michigan anymore when you're poor and deaf. Which also is hard to make enough money for school when people assume deaf people can't work as good as others. Best thing I can do is buy a homeless person some food, like subs and chips and Gatorades and anything that will cease their hunger for a day with my food stamp card.

My favorite part of your stealth videos is the part where you cook something simple but interesting. It's an interesting segment that adds a lot to each video.

I'm a drifter. About 4 years ago, I was in Idaho Falls, ID (beautiful town). It was early March, so the nights were still fairly cold. I was there a little over two weeks. The entire time, I camped under a large evergreen (spruce, I think... ?), the branches went all the way to the ground. But, just beyond the outer branches, closer to the trunk, it was fairly open and spacious. I spent about 30 minutes chopping down dead branches from the interior, and clearing out debris, both of which I used to camouflage myself. I was about 20 feet from a busy downtown road. This video reminded me if that experience. I had a little concealed fire in a coffee can, a tarp to keep the drizzling rain, falling leaves and bird poo off me... lol. There was a train track behind me, and must have been a yard nearby. Each morning the same guy would walk the track, and we'd talk for a few minutes. Share stories about life on the road. It was a great time. Good memory. Thanks for reminding me. Love your channel. You'd have made a good drifter.

You made my day. After being in a hospital for 5 hours then a 4 hour drive home I needed this. Thank you so much and God bless.

I can honestly say, Steve is the most genuine person I've seen.

This is the best example of the spirit of stealth camping I have seen so far. Reminds me of when I was 15.

Steve, I appreciate that you wish to help others reach step one. Helping others get to step two means we can enjoy it that much more.

How could ANY Canadian have an issue with what he does..all he is doing is living his best life having adventures!

You know there's full of snowflakes who want make others life miserable because it makes them happy even if that someone minding his own business and don't bring harm to anybody!

Bless you, Steve, for your kind & generous heart. Also, you don't have to stealth camp in the winter; there are so many more options we are interested in. We like to see the bus camper, the treehouse, camping in the snow on your property, work progression on the house, progress on the raft, update on the bus, camping with crazy neighbor, campfire cooking, ice fishing, and many, many more. We watch the videos for you, not for your location. In fact, sometimes I wish you would not do so much stealth because it looks dangerous & scary, and we don't want harm to come to you. Thank you again for trying to help others.

Thank you so much for donating. We were one of the recipients of that donation. Fortunately, we were ok but so many lost so much. ♥️

"Readers Digest Version" love ya mate I'd love to see you stealth camp in a car again I'm not sure why (I can't even drive) but the car ones are my favourite the school bus is a beast too she needs another trip soon

I have been thinking about you all week Steve…so glad you are fine. Class move to ask people to donated to B.C relief funds! You are a very good person!

Lets watch some good guy who cares deeply about humanity play in traffic. Nail biter every time you crossed the HWY. Stay Safe out there Steve!

Steve I know you get it a lot but you're one of the good ones mate. Thanks buddy

Hi Steve your videos and chilled voice are really helping me forget about my illness just now keep up the good work

Those who live in BC and are KZreadrs are not even doing what Steve is suggesting for charity. We love Steve!

Great video Steve! I have been homeless many times since 1995; after ending up in a hospital; violins playing now. So, I wish I would have seen this before all those times I was homeless. I was laughed at, made fun of, etc. My favorite street camping item was a tarp. I didn't have a car. And the tarp folded nicely in my back pack. I could stay clean with the tarp underneathe me while trying to sleep with one eye open. Hardest part of it was having to use a ladies room around 3 a.m. YOUR videos are heart felt! THANK YOU👍

Just recently started watching. This is something special. Educational, entertaining, and a great balance of subversive and ethical. I'll keep watching. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. And hand you a step 2.

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints! Thanks for another great video!

What you want to do is sauté the cabbage in the butter, garlic and thyme before you add the broth. Add the broth last actually. It will make a big difference I just figured out that i can cut beef jerky up smaller and soften it in boiling water, then add rice and spices and you get like a fried rice that's really tastey. Esp if you add curry powder and green onion but really, just terryaki or soy sauce is fine

Steve, thank you so much for posting your video. I'm sorry that things are tough right now. We're all rooting for you and thank you so much for the HOURS of amazing entertainment. You and crazy neighbour just light up my screen. :)

It is so good of you to draw attention to the plight of those who are enduring hardship. These are very difficult times. More and more people are having a hard time dealing with the rapidly changing world we share. Some use social media to draw attention to themselves and seek only profit and /or self gratification. It would be easy to succumb to the allure of popularity. But you seem to have maintained solid footing in reality and a love of your fellow man. Thank you Steve.

These are so peaceful to watch before bed

I am in the states so I know there is no way that Steve is around but I find myself checking out Billboards as we travel down the interstate highways, just seeing if they would meet Steve's approval. Never looked at billboard signs that way before but I will forever now!

Lol, imagine being an employee at one of the stores that Steve parked his car at, and you're on your break and sitting in your car when all of the sudden some guy comes running out of the darkness to a car... He grabs something, then turns and goes sprinting back into the darkness. 😂😂 Haha, just makes me laugh thinking about it. Glad you're safe and sound, Steve! Thank you for sharing this with us. Stay safe and warm out there!

Regular dude camping and cooking, thanks Steve. Love your videos!!

I'm no mensa, but the danger of running across 4 lanes of freeway traffic in the dark may outweigh the danger of marauding bears. But that is who you are! Thanks for the video and as always stay safe.

I got myself in a recovery house due to more than enough alcohol for one guy, so now I don't have to stealth camp with the hammock for the winter. Thanks Steve, you've taught me a few things.

steve we love you. if you enjoy camping please never stop making videos because you have an army of people supporting your work. these videos make me feel comfortable, just hunkering down and enjoying life, letting anxiety and depression take a back seat. please don't stop.

I really want Steve to get his own billboard with his face and KZread channel on it. It would be so funny and awesome if he then stealth camped behind it.😂

Who thought a man we don’t know could be missed so much! If we’d only known you were putting up a billboard...You’re home to us. Have a great week.

Such a wonderful human being. Thank you Steve.

The way Steve explains road range is the most Canadian way just talking about it in the nicest way. Sorry that the trip didn’t go as planned!

Hinton's my town! Also watched when you camped up in the bush behind the Super 8 and had Gus's pizza. Great video and awesome that you donated to help our neighbor's in BC.

Steve is #1 on the billboard charts

This is the first episode of Camping With Steve that I ever saw, and still my favorite. When I lived outside, there was a similar sign in my town that I often thought of camping by, but didn't. So it's awesome to get to see you actually do it

Love the multi use Bic lighter, nonchalantly used to pop the top of a Step 2. Steve definitely has it figured out. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something compelling about watching a grown man stealth camp in some of the most unlikely places....... Putting myself in Steve's place, I feel the adrenaline of the moment. His easy demeanor and endless knowledge of his subject make for some of the best entertainment on You Tube. Thanks, Steve.

You inspired me to try this myself. I got nailed in 9 minutes. Went home.

I’m a new subscriber. I subscribed on Sunday actually, it has been one of the roughest weeks of my life while also the most fulfilling. Your videos really helped take my mind off of things & “hunker down” as best I can. I found it ironic how in your latest video that you also mention you’ve been going through it as well, I’m happy to see we’re both doing just fine.

We are a great community here, welcome!

My one suggestion to all stealth campers is red flashlights, they don't put out as much light but they don't affect your eyes ability to adjust to the darkness. Plus red is harder to spot from the outside. I do realize red would be harder to film with.

Man I love Steve's content. I love his personality and I love watching the creative ways he cooks when he camps. This guy is incredible.

When the chips are down there's nothing like a good ol' vicarious stealth camp behind a billboard to set things right. Thanks again, Steve. You're the best.

One of the most genuine and caring people on this platform. You’re a really good person. The world needs more like you. Stay safe out there Steve.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to "hide out" behind one of these types of billboards. That was before I ever knew "stealth camping" was a thing. I am so glad you fulfilled one of my childhood dreams.
