I'm getting a lot of questions about why I wouldn't just boil the lake water. I would have in an emergency or survival situation, but all the runoff from the bird plops on the island would make any of that water taste terrible even after boiling it. In the middle of the lake, I would have easily scooped some up, but I had enough water to get me by without resorting to boiling that water which could be described as "thick".

Haha hell yeah my friend same here. I actually managed to do it a few times back in the day. I'd be out driving around with my friends with the camping gear in the truck (I used to camp A LOT), and we'd be out in the boonies somewhere surrounded by farmland and little patches of woods and such. On multiple occasions I would just slow down and cut the wheel suddenly, throw that bitch into 4WD and haul ass across a field or clearing on the side of the road in order to make it to the woods that looked appealing at a drive-by glance. We'd pull in, cover up the truck with some camo netting and surrounding foliage, and begin setting up a little spur-of-the-moment stealth camp site. We did that so many times and frankly I cannot believe we never got caught or anything. In hindsight it was typically just an excuse to drink underage/get rowdy totally unsupervised and a method with which to do so since we couldn't go to someone's house or something back then. Those excursions were also overwhelmingly *stupid* and more than a one may have been executed in a questionable area, likely private property and not exactly as stealthy as we may have imagined lol. In any case, it was always still a TON of fun and I wouldn't change it for anything. Those camps tended to be more fun and more memorable than any of the times we went to an actual campground...

I love how easy going Steve is. Just goes with the flow and doesn’t take himself too seriously.

I remember having to camp overnight on an island when I was about 10, so 1971. I don't remember what lake it was, other than near Edmonton, but my dad and I went fishing there in our fiberglass canoe. A storm blew up making the lake very ruff, so we put in to a small island. Other than our fishing tackle, the only thing else we had was a couple of old WW2 surplus ponchos. With the basic tools, we got a fire going in the rain with one poncho as a cover, and the other as a groundsheet, and cooked a couple of Pike on flattish pieces of wood we found. Rained all night, and we were both very cold, tired, and cranky by daybreak. In a light drizzle, we packed up our stuff back onto the canoe, then left, paddling around the other side of the island, WHERE WE DISCOVERED AN OLD, ABANDONED CABIN!!!! *FACEPALM*

For some reason, this one reminded me of 50 years ago, sleeping out with friends in the treehouse we built on a steep hill above railroad tracks. Good times. Your videos always put a smile on my face. Thanks for posting.

It was nice to see someone use a boat as part of their shelter. I have long thought that a viable option, but had never seen anyone do it.

For future reference, a lot of those little air compressors allow you to attach the hose to either the outlet side for inflating a raft or the inlet side to help deflate it quickly and thoroughly.

Just when I thought you can’t crank it up any more from a mini roundabout, you top it with a mini island. Steve Wallis, the true MacDaddy of stealth camping. Peace and love brother 👊.

Steve, it never ceases to amaze me why you cook copious amounts of food for an entire group of campers yet you’re solo…until you accidentally tipped the pot over and it was an ahah moment lol!

New to the channel. Directly subbed. I really like how you don't take everything too serious. There are way too many outdoor channels trying to do the super survival marine stereotype. This might me helpful for some situations, but hey: whenever i am outside on a hike or kayaking i just want to enjoy being outside and this is exactly the vibe. Cheers from germany :)

I've only just recently came across your videos. I used to be extremely active with camping and hiking and all that up untill becoming disabled a couple of years ago. I am only 32 and am on dyalisis 3 times a week for about 4 hours at a time... I really enjoy watching your videos. They have really helped me pass the time ❤️

I knew a lady who traveled a lot, but is a hoarder, and her car has a bit more stuff, but a lot of it is camping gear because she camp's when traveling. She has stuff happen to her all the time, and once ran over a mattress about 30 miles from work in the winter, and the parking security called up and asked her if she knew she had a mattress stuck under her car. She said no, but thought for awhile she heard a funny noise, but kept driving to get to work on time. Security had to jack up the car, and a lot of it melted and stuck to the exhaust, which took awhile to get it out. Took a long time to live that one down. The crazy thing about her, she learned to scooba dive in her 60's, and she will try anything, her step 2 is wine lol. God bless.

Steve I love your videos so much, you just crack me up man. You've definitely inspired me to try my hand at stealth camping, you look like you're having so much fun! Cheers, brother!

I haven't really commented before, but I just want to thank you for making these videos. I didn't have a dad or any prominent masculine figure growing up to do things like take me hiking and camping, two things I love doing and always wondered what it would be like. But now I don't have to wonder so much, your videos have really given me comfort in that regard, especially since my mobility began declining and those 2 things I loved became iacseesable to me. Your videos have just given me the ability to still experience those things in some capacity and I just wanted to send out my appreciation because your videos have helped me though a lot of rough days and helped me come out of depresive episodes.

Hang in there young man. Life can be a kick in the arse even for those with full mobility, trust me. I'm glad you found this channel and that it brings you joy. Keep your chin up, and... don't do anything Steve does 🙂👍🏻.

I was worried every time Steve moved that boat. First dragging it over the rock boat ramp and then on the island . All the downed trees with sharp twigs. Good job looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for cleaning up.

I have an inflatable boat similar to the one he has. They're surprisingly tough. I've dragged mine around and hit many rocks in the river and haven't had any problems.

One of my top Steve videos. Re-watching them all. Love you man!

I enjoy you simple fix's to any presented obstacles along the way. Flipping the boat was genius! You created a quick and easy clear for the morning!! You keep talking to let us know your thoughts. I feel sometimes as if I am camping with you. 👍

It's impossible to get this man down! Steve has incredible spirit.

I enjoy how you keep things real. That you show us the facts of the matter, You went from hoping a hammock to maybe the tent to settling for a boat canopy, knocked over your supper and kept on going. Hats off to ya Steve, enjoyed this one a lot, well done.

These videos are some of my favorite on all of KZread. Love it man!

Thank you Steve! This makes me want to spend a night over at the local MTB trail beside a farm :) Have fun! Keep inspiring us.

You made a comment a couple of minutes into the video that I have discovered after 30 years of paddling is so true. "The island is further away than it looks." Great video. Thanks!

Can’t wait for step 2 on this adventure!!!! I would never in a million years have thought this little stealth trip up. You are a genius!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

I know I’m not alone, but watching your videos bring me such joy and peace ☺️ watching you camp on an island is surprisingly comforting, even with the bird noises haha

I don't comment on videos very often, but when I do, they're Steve's videos. Love you, man. Thanks for taking us on your wild adventures, I really enjoy them.

I am a very big fan you, Steve. When I get home from my daily grind it makes me happy to watch a new video or any of your videos and relax with a nice step two. Keep up the great content Sir!

Using a take of the intro with the sirens blaring is just GOLD!

At first I started watching these stealth camping videos thinking how ridiculous it is…then I watched one…then another…and another…now I just want Steve Wallis to be famous and keep doing what he loves. I’ve only watched about 6 of his videos so far, but I really enjoy the simplicity of everything and for some odd reason, whatever he makes to eat, makes me want to try it. This reminds me of the beginnings of survivorman

Umm... Survivorman is the original real deal. Nothing and no one else on these "bushcrafting" channels even come close to Les Stroud.

Entertaining as always buddy!

Oh hell yes! When I grew up we had a house on the lake and there was a little island out there I always wanted to visit I never did. Maybe I'll go out there again and stealth camp now

Camping with Steve videos are the absolute best!! He’s basically the adult camping version of Mr. Rogers!!!! I absolutely love how he always has the most positive outlook on everything that comes at him!!!! Steve you are the man! Thank you!! Really want to see a collab with you and corporals corner!

There would be nothing better then seeing them enjoy a step 2 together and see Steve learn some bushcraft and corporal learn some camping with Steve short cuts!! It will be great, needs to be at least 2 hours though!

Out here camping watching one of steves videos with my morning coffee. Life is great!

I enjoy watching Steve when I'm out camping at night just sitting at the picnic table.

I love that Steve is not only conscience about leaving places the way he found them, but that he packs out garbage from all the other previous idiots that were there. Thanks for taking care of our beautiful Earth Steve. Another great video, btw!

Using your boat as an additional shelter component is always a good idea! Looked all kinds of cozy.

Amazing location and a great video. And thank you for always leaving your spots cleaned up, sometimes even removing other peoples mess. We need more people who value Nature as much as you do :)

Watching your vids is so relaxing

I find little islands intriguing, or just any woodland I haven’t been in yet, can’t help wondering what it’s like deep in there... love your videos Steve 👍🏻

Steve, you’re the greatest. I’d look at that island and go “hey it’d be cool to camp on that little island lol.” and never do it. But you actually do it. I admire that. I’m taking my first camping trip of the year this weekend. Got my hunker down sticker and everything.
