Happy Step Tuesday everyone! We're on the road for a few weeks getting as much filming done as possible. There will be just little snippits of life behind the scenes popping up on this channel until we get back and put some house updates up. Hunker down!
We don't always think about all the extra work that goes into filming and producing these adventures, so I sure appreciate this! Thanks for all you do, Steve.
@@charlieretro internet is to big for that my friend, you gotta do what OP said, don't let the tube change ya and just know when ya step out that room or shut the laptop closed turn off ya phone etc gotta know to leave the tube world behind
Thanks, Steve! It looks so easy when all we see is the edited video. It's interesting to see some of the prep work and missteps you have deal with to make it happen.
I love imagining Steve in his car with his hand up to the side of his face staring side eyed through splayed fingers, pretending not to look, as he rolls slowly by a wooded bluff in some greenbelt area-- just stealth creepin'.
When it comes to cypress hills, the good camp sites aren't easily accessible in winter, areas like Reesor Lake, Spruce Coulee, Nickle Springs. Spots like Firerock, Ferguson Hill, and Lodgepole are past the Elkwater town area. I'm from Medicine Hat, and used to camp these areas as a child, not so much anymore as the misses is the hotel type.
We’ve camped a few times out there, at the all yearcamp site though, when there isn’t anyone else there. Lol, spent lots of time there, never seen a cougar yet! Beautiful out there. My daughter and her family live in the Hat ❤️ really cool to see familiar surroundings in your film!
The Reesor Lake camp sites are just a little farther down the road. The registration is by the boat launch then keeping going around the lake after a small stream crossing. Nice place to stay if you’re ice fishing. It was awesome seeing you in my home town, can’t wait until Thursday and see where you found to hunker down
Love the shoutout to Medicine Hat at the very end I want to recognize them for being the first city in North America to recently completely eliminate homelessness with their Housing First Policy. I’m an American and I wish we could get our act together like our neighbors to the north on this issue. I love Canada and can’t wait to visit again when the border opens up.
WooHoo! New video. I'm psyched. At first I thought you were stealth camping in car wash. Then you threw me with the "cougars" comment; I immediately thought bar. Thanks for the view at 2:45.
I'm feeling you, Steve. I tried to get to my usual state forest site today and couldn't make it up the mountain with all the ice, guess I'm stuck until things thaw down here in Pennsylvania. Better Luck to you soon!
Hey Steve! I’d love to see a Hunker Down podcast at some point. I know you’re super busy at the moment so I don’t mean right now but maybe some point in the future? Hearing about your boondocking adventures and life stories would be fascinating to us.
The Ferguson Hill and Lodgepole campgrounds on the Elkwater side of the Cypress Hills are pretty nice! Tucked away from the townsite and some nice views. "Stealth Camping On A Cliff" at the Conglomerate Cliffs on the Saskatchewan side would be pretty cool too. ;) There is also a really crazy spot called the "Mystery Rocks" on the Saskatchewan side that would make for an amazing video. All the best, Steve! Looking forward to the next video as always.
Hey you took my recommendation!! I live there. But that first spot at spruce coulee is a walk in tenting site. You may have been able to stay there!! Its only 50 ft into the trees
what epic views from where you stopped to stretch your legs , nice area , But having people around naw, id rather no one be around where i camp myself . nice wee video behind the scenes.
I know on the Saskatchewan side of cypress hills there are a couple spots that might work. I believe there is a campground over towards fort walsh. Also, I have heard about a rec site called cypress lake that is aboht 1/2 hour south of the sask prov park. Appearently, camping is free there. I imagine it would be open as its one of the bigger lakes in that area so I am sure the locals want access to ice fish.
I would say if you are in a place where there's a LOT of cougars, that would be a car camping area. Also looking at the sights from the car. It would be a get out of the car for a bried period during the day, but stay within running distance from the car. :-)
Have you ever thought about stealth camping on a billboard? Have you ever thought about camping up in this area or further north of this area "Isachsen, Nunavut, Canada"? It would be cool to see you go camping up in an area like mentioned here?
I was really confused at first. I was trying to figure out why it looked like you were in my home town! If you have the time, and like a strong tasty craft brew check out a liquor store or head MH brew co and try a Gentleman's Stout. They have other good ones, but the Gentleman's stout is my favourite! it's definitely comfort camping around there, but the fishing down by the docks has always brought me good luck when i've went. Cheers,
Hoi Steve. I am from the Netherlands . I enjoyed your video's. Mine English is not very good, but I hope you can read this. I have described your channel. I wish you much succes..... Greetings from The Netherlands
