Been watching a few episodes man. I guess I started stealth camping a few years after I started bike tripping. At first it was just regular campgrounds and provincial parks but then, by about 1977 I started venturing into random woods. Almost 50 years later I'd say I'm a seasoned expert. I watch your dinner making scenes with great fondness for years of amazing feasts in secret places. I love the coffee in the morning even more than dinner. One inspiration to stealth camping by bicycle was the book, Bike Tripping, by a Cuthbertson, out of ten-speed press, which went on to be a pretty hip publisher. He suggested camping at cemeteries. Nobody writes youth literature like that anymore. So I've become a bit of an expert in cemetery camping. Often, just immediately behind a cemetery there's a fence, a tree line, maybe some rocks. Usually great neutral ground where nobody goes. I like communication towers also. There's usually a fence around them so you go far side of the fence. Often handy bush and trees, and often a fence post to string the hammock. Love railroad sides, little low spots beside the tracks, often again with a fence. I have had a whole closed campground on Lake Superior all to myself. I've camouflaged myself as wrapped firewood beside a park building. I've hidden in the groupings of landscaped conifers at tourist information centres in Quebec. Countless picnic shelters, hydro properties, behind dumpsters at industrial parks, liminal shrubland in parks, on gas station properties, beside monuments, like the Terry Fox monument in Thunder Bay. That night was special. East of Sudbury we slept in Mennonite built sheds that were arranged for sale in a large grouping. My brother took one shack and I took another, bike and everything. I love stealth camping. It's a real rush. And it makes bike tripping super cheap, when you consider that it basically reduces the cost of living on the road, getting in great shape and losing weight and seeing beautiful parts of the world down to groceries and booze while on the road. Without the cost of accommodation, a cyclist on the road can live on $20 per day, assuming you're carrying staples like coffee, oats, dry soup mix, etc on your bike. You can lounge at restaurant breakfasts, buy fresh fruit for lunch and a couple cans of beer for supper. Well, maybe $30 per day. It depends. But it's definitely the cheapest way to go free for a while. I've done months on the road many times, crossed Canada many times. It's a subculture of life that I love and know and I know that there are many out there who adventure like this. Onward, comrades!

He may have been referring to how often he loses the tent pegs. Lol

Gotta love the HUNKER DOWN sticker Steve neatly placed there behind the sign. Just a man marking his territory. :)

Hey Steve, I love your adventures! Just watched this vid... and I have commentary... My first reaction is, I am no Canadian but I live close to the border and I'm pretty good at getting out of trouble. Here are some suggestions based on strategic planning: When walking through the woods with a high end camera and a comfy chair, think, "I want to get some great photos of birds." Similarly, camping behind a road sign and even cooking dinner there, have a reason... such as, set up a slow exposure of the road. Maybe you want to get an all-night traffic photo but don't want to leave your equipment out there alone. If neighbors actually approach you, be honest within the motto of one controversial American arts collective; "Trust me. I'm an artist." If you believe you need to be there, in my experience, others will be less likely to question your motives.

Good idea, but I honestly think the way Steve comes across, if he actually did get busted, with nerves and how suspicious he acts, not to mention, being a law-abiding citizen; I think the truth would come out. haha

Steve, have you thought about turning the bivy rainfly inside out? the gray with shadows may look closer to the concrete and the waterproofing should work just as well

Make sure the little notch on the butane canister is lined up properly and not leaking before ignition. I’ve been using those types of stoves for 15 years or more and never had an issue. Stay safe Steve.

The cracking of the beer can is the best part of his videos. I've been to Victoria several times. It's worth the ride over, on the Canadian ferry, just to see it. What a lucky guy to have the natural beauty so close.

I drive past that sign a couple times a week. If you knew a little more about Nanaimo you would realize it’s quite a stealth camping town. I’m surprised you didn’t come back to someone in your tent. Favourite episode, thank you for bringing your show to our town.

Just went camping last night for the first time in years. Even though it was in my backyard, it was so much fun. Can’t wait to go hiking with my gear. Thanks for the inspiration Steve! New summer hobby! (Along with kayaking)

@ Kevin Lackey My ex GF got me into kayaking although I haven't been for awhile. One place for pretty serene water is out nearby my area @ a place called Lake Tulley in Royalton MA.. It has islands you can pull up on & explore which's fun; just if you go when it's really warm, the tallest peaked one be careful exploring the top of! There's biting ants up there which my ex & I while still dating encountered. She lost a pair of ray bans up there & the still to this day going joke is how the ants are using them for solar tech.

Steve got me inspired to pick camping back up after 25 years, and so far I've been on two camping trips, and have two more coming up in the next few weeks/months. But I definitely want to pull a backyard camp sometime soon! It sounds like it would make you feel like a kid again!

i have no idea why i love these videos so much but my goodness. never stop sir

I found your videos Randomly. I was not searching for "camping on roundabouts" etc. And I am really fascinated, what kind of hobbies exist in the world. 😀 It's cool to see how you enjoy it and you do it with passion. I wish you all the best. Thanks für the videos.

Steve, I always enjoy your nervous "I don't want to get caught" casual dry humor. Apart from the...parking your car in front of a house that you are visible from, that was a good stealth camp.

Steve cooks better behind a sign with a nearly exploding camp stove than I do in a full kitchen.... squeezing lemons, making a roux. Apparently I need more camping to improve my culinary skills.

As an Italian I absolutely disapprove the horrendous fettucine crime you committed. XD But hey, they nourished you, it seems you've enjoyed your meal and that's the most important thing. Greetings from Italy!

I lost it with the shot of Steve running across the road and back into the woods armed with a rice cooker.

That welcome sign (the one Steve camped behind) was pretty controversial at the time it was built. Some people felt it was an extravagant expense for a town that has a lot of pressing problems to take care of. Of course, Nanaimo gonna Nanaimo so the flashy sign got built, Nanaimo got to pretend it was a Big Boy City and now, after all these years, it looks like it was all worth it for the Steve Wallis stealth camp!

Awesome! I've been passed that sign a million times. (Born and raised on the island) Now I'm always going to think of you camping behind it whenever I go by it in the future haha, cheers Steve!

Great video! I have driven past this sign so many times and I’ll always think of this now. I have limited experience with stealth camping so I appreciate the dialogue on your thought process.

You carrying a whole rice cooker on a random busy road and being all calm after the fire nearly hit your face is pure hilarity

“I just don’t know how I would explain walking into the woods with a rice cooker.” You’re the best Steve and I have a difficult time imagining anyone getting really worked up about you taking a snooze behind the Nanaimo sign. But I guess you just never know. Thanks for once again giving me something to chuckle about and helping to calm my world-weary nerves. As many before me have already said, this is by far the best channel on KZread!

The real question is why he would have thought to bring a rice cooker for stealth camping in the first place!

When your butane stove erupted, my wife (who was across the room and only heard it) said, “What happened?! Did he get electrocuted?” Glad you’re OK!

Steve I just came across your channel with the first video being the Roundabout one. You're my inspiration in terms of how nice of a disposition you have. I'm not a very nice guy myself (unapproachable almost) but I'll try to be nicer to people because of how you inspired me.
