Stealth Camping In Day Use Park 

The height of Canadian crime.

I'm lucky to stumble on this guy, feel like I'm watching the Bob Ross of camping

Love you bud, we needed you in our tough times and now we’re here for you in your tough times.

It's oddly comforting to know that somewhere out in the woods. Steve is hunkering down

I spent a night in a day-use camping Canadian anarchy

“ No dead trees above me, except the one I tied my hammock to. “ Classic Steve. 😁

I honestly don’t understand how anyone could dislike any of Steve’s wholesome videos I feel like Steve is one of the most likable people on RU-vid and I’m sure in person

"I've been raised to not put any accelerant on an already burning fire." And you can actually see the pained expression and internal struggle he's experiencing as he reads the instructions that go contrary to his bringing up. Steve is the best!!! I love it

“Everyone’s welcome at my table” so simple yet hits deep right now. Keep hunkering down!

I’ve been watching Steve from the start, when things weren’t going well in life for him, yet he showed he’s the true survival expert. He’s not only survived but prospered and yet despite dogging himself down he has Thousands of people following from around the world. Keep up the fantastic work Steve, from the UK.

The best part of my chaotic days is waking up in the morning, brewing my coffee and watching camping with Steve. It's definitely therapy for me. Appreciate u Steve 💯💯

The car is definitely the biggest trick for overnighting in day use, in my experience. I stayed in a day use for over a month at one point, and the only problem was hiking in and out to leave my car on the road instead of the lot overnight. Barely 2 minutes off the trail, but no one came there (occasional roaming dog tho!). Always felt that was a remarkable metaphor for life in general... almost nobody leaves the marked path.

I love the conflict between rebel Steve “whiskey courage” and grownup with a mortgage Steve “not get busted”. It’s kinda my life in a nutshell too...

The best drinks are the ones that you have to have a furtive look around before consuming.

Steve: I'm just gonna light this candle to fool everyone into thinking I'm a normal person... Me taking notes: so that's where I've been going wrong all these years

Never really tried stealth camping myself. I remember as a teenager my Dad putting off finding a campground until well after dark in spite of Mom's warnings, then he pulled into a small roadside picnic area with a big "Absolutely NO Overnight Camping" sign! We had a car towing a small camper. He said, "I'll pull down back and no one will see us"! So over the curb and across the grass we went. In the middle of the night the whole camper lit up and started rocking. Mom and I ran for the door, He and my brother slept through it. Seems in the dark he parked right next to some railroad tracks! We left well before dawn.

I love the scene where youre just wondering around with your pan full of food 😂❤️

I love how Steve is a Steward of nature and picks up any and all trash he sees. I like that ♡

Will probably never meet Steve...but he keeps me company on a regular basis.Ironic that he's usually alone,filming for an audience of thousands,that more often than not are alone themselves.Keep up the awesome videos👍

This is by far the best community on RU-vid.

We gotta see Camping with Steve: Golf Course Edition!

Anyone else find it funny he acts like he's ditching a body but he's just camping lol

I did my first stealth camp with a hammock this last weekend, awesome fire behind the root ball of a fallen tree, food and lots of step 2s and noone was the wiser. Tearing down hammock camp took 10 minutes and took a little other people’s trash out with mine.

The only thing I've been doing while being laid up after having a severely infected wisdom tooth cut out is watching 50 year old Samurai movies and a whole lot of Steve Wallis. Thanks for the great content, and knowledge.

Steve is like the Bob Ross of camping. Just...just find a happy little bush over there to hunker down by.

Who else really needed an upload from Steve? Thank you sir!

I never considered scotch at camp. I always bring beer but this makes more sense. More bang for the weight/space. I like the way you think

Hey Steve! I wanted to tell you thanks for making all these wonderful videos. I'm disabled and alone so you give me some damn good company, step 2 cheers!

16:50 that spatula save smooth as hell Steve

Whenever I have a drink now I always say “time for a well deserved step two” because of you Steve 👍🏼🍻

This is the beautiful meadow where everyone was camping and throwing footballs around and having a wonderful time...and here I stand with my beard and a pot of half eaten chicken casserole. Nothing suspicious here!!!🤣

I love watching Steve’s videos. He’s just a regular guy camping. He keeps it simple, realistic, and affordable. Before I started watching his channel, I thought you needed some high dollar tent, sleeping bag, and all kinds of special gear. But he showed me you can go camping with regular gear and a couple step 2s

Steve thinks about so many variables when doing this stealth stuff to avoid suspicion. If he committed an actual grand heist he would get away with it.

"Let's all Hunker Down together." Nice sentiment, Steve

I love the birdsong in these videos- just another thing to love about them. Thank you Steve!

When he introduced the idea of leaving the note i imagined putting on the dash under the windshield lol. Obviously I'm not cut out for the gangster life.

‘Time to get out of here before I get busted!’ Steve’s beer fund quickly becomes bail fund, lol! 😂 Dinner looked delicious! Have a good day Steve and say hi to Beautiful Wife! 😊❤️👍

I love this guy. His clips are like meditation

Hello, Steve. I'm from Finland and to me it seems very strange and sad thing also, that You have to do this stealth camping there, have to be careful, that no one notices, that You are staying a night there, and to be worried about the car being towed away. Here camping in forests is absolutely free, even in privately-owned ones. We have here by law so called "every man's rights" and camping is one of them. You can also pick berries and mushrooms freely. (not cultivated ones) Of course You can't camp in someones backyard without permission, and collecting branches of firewood, cutting trees without permission, and setting a campfire without proper place for it is illegal. (There actually are lot of places made by municipality for campfire in popular areas, and there is sometimes free firewood also) Of course You are supposed to leave the place as it was, no trash left, etc.

I dig how you treat the places you visit so well and how you picked up trash in this video even though it wasn't yours. We need more ppl like you. 👍

Steve please be careful proclaiming you enjoy a swing after a couple of step 2s! You'll have a queue of couples outside your tent with car keys in a bowl lol

Hey Steve. Can you please make a camping with Steve cookbook. That would be rad. Cheers from Victoria Love the vids keep em comming

"I don't want to look like a creep" cuts to him on the swing set. hahahah

Heck yes, keep doing this! Getting away with airport parking lot camping in your car is still my fave.

Way to go Steve!! "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty."

Oh yeah I meant to say I love the sound in your videos. Something is so satisfying about the crackle of the fire the crinkle of the packages and all the noise that your camera seems to pick up. Awesome channel keep up the great work.

Mooooommmmm! Why does the old guy on the swing smell like lighter fluid and liquor?

So I've been a fan of steve for a long time. I actually do alot of stealth camping as well as camping in cougar country here in Idaho so I find alot of his videos helpful as well as entertaining. I just wanted to say how much more I like this guy after hearing him say he might indulge in the swing set. He's a big kid at heart and it's what makes him lovable. Wish I could have a beer with steve.

"My stealthy senses are tingling". Haha Steve you are the best at heart

If Steve Wallis thinks it should be a campground, he'll make it a campground.

"Just a normal guy enjoying the nature, taking some wildlife shots" - Steve Wallis, 2020

As someone else who has a guilty pleasure of swings after a step 2 or 3, I totally feel you my dude.

Lol Steve you didn’t even acknowledge that amazing one flip spatula catch 😂

“I do enjoy a good swing after a few step 2’s” what a guy.

Steve apologizing for bringing some whiskey along with him is the most steve thing ever. lol

Steve; I don’t know if you’ll see this, but you have to remember the last time you were swinging... it was nighttime during the winter when snow was still on the ground (I think.) I remember I was cracking up laughing so hard, and here at 20:30 you caught me off guard again😂😂😂. I love it

The sign on the windshield trick is very clever. I'll have to remember that one for just in cases.

I LOVE the look of utter joy you have just describing your lay-out,Steve! When you say " it just doesn't get much better than this", I feel that!

I love the fact he teaches cooking and survival skills. It's really good for people who want to get into, or improve their camping skills

Steve, I like your commendation, especially how you do the narration as things are developing in the moment. Your a true talent. Another great episode my favorite when you are stealth camping. Cheers

BRINGING CAMPING BACK TO THE PEOPLE!!! EASY TO SEE WHY THIS CHANNEL IS BLOWING UP. JUST SHARED. Cheers from Cleveland

I cooked that recipe at home and it was AMAZING!!! I used one can of mixed vegetables instead of frozen, but worked out great and was delicious!!!!

I can just see it now. Old lady phones police: hello 911 there’s a man in the day use park with a bottle of scotch and some stove top stuffing 911: that’s just Steve he’s preparing to hunker down stop by for a step 2 and some great stories

"You don't want to wake up a ghost if a tree squishes you during the night." That was classic!

My ten year old LOVES your videos (as do I). He affectionately refers to you as ‘funny camper guy’. 😂🤣

"Lost keys. No valuables. Will be back in the A.M. Signed, Hunker Down"

LSD: "Why does this duck not have to pay to live on the Earth?" or that frog? or that bird? In fact, why are humans the only species that has to pay someone else, who doesn't own the Earth either?" 🤔 VERY much into this art of stealth dwelling which will prove useful when the SHTF, Thanks, Steve. Been studying and sampling edible plants, fishtraps, etc. for decades.

"I don't really see any dead trees, other than the one I tied my hammock to." hahaha

Me ever since Covid. "Well i just woke up, time for step 2" "Just ate some lunch and time for step 2" "Fixing to hunker down for the evening, step 2, step 2, step 2"

“Hey guys, welcome to Swinging with Steve.”

Amazing you can sleep out like that, my anxiety would be immense.

I discovered this channel last weekend and have binge watched a lot of it lol. I spent over 20 years in the army, and this guy knows many of the little tricks. I have not seen him use car mats yet as a clean place to put your feet or other things you want to keep out if the dirt.

Nothing beats seeing a notification that there's a new Camping with Steve video! Can't wait to hunker down with a step 2 tonight after work to watch this one Steve!

“It’s a school night!” In the future no one will get that joke.

“I do enjoy a good swing after a few step 2’s onward we go” Steve you are a legend

This is what we're making for dinner! Thanks for the recipe Steve!

That wasn't Steve's desire to not get busted in the morning. That was the pot pie seeking revenge. Time to plunker down

It's a good day when there's a new Camping with Steve video!

love the bird calls in the background

steves youtube money must be just rolling in now, my man got the subtle but noticeable drip to his fit these days

"You don't want to wake up a ghost if a tree squishes you in the night." Best bushcraft advice ever! Well said!

Step one: Open Steve's RU-vid video. Step two: Step two.

I'm convinced this all started because his wife doesn't let him drink in the house, and somehow it became popular

I love the stealth camping, makes me want to try it out. I did a lot of it back in the 70s, when I was a teenager and basically homeless. I never really saw it that way, though, Kansas City was my home. I stayed under a lot of low bushes and even a stand of willows right on Parallel Avenue in KC Kansas. I spent a whole Winter under a pontoon boat, parked in a field behind some houses at 76th Street and State Avenue, also on the Kansas side. It was a fairly busy Winter, lots of snow and cold windy weather and I was comfortable. The deck of the boat was concrete so I could have a fire, and I had lots of new carpet scraps so I had a dry floor and I hung up carpet at both ends of the boat under the deck. They pretty much closed off the ends and I stuffed whatever I could find between the deck and the pontoons along the sides, so I had a good, warm and nearly invisible shelter with very little wind and zero moisture. Being in a field, there was a lot of cover all around, I could even play my guitar without being heard. Best of all was that it was free. My brother, his wife and family lived down the street and I got showers and a few free meals there, but for the most part I was completely self-sufficient and on my own. The way I liked it back then.

Steve also cleaning plastic from tree branches, this guy cares for the planet as well !!!

I love how you take back camping for the people! HUNKER DOWN!

Steve i have recently found your channel mate and from the bottom of my heart im sorry for your loss. Your wife supported you and im glad you are back on the road it would have been what she would have wanted. Keep on keeping on brother god bless from Wales! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This is exactly my speed of adventure. 💜

Every Thursday is a good Thursday with Steve!

The content has always been great, but I really have to compliment your editing and camera work in this one Steve. Thanks for the weekly moment of zen!

8:20 Hahaha I just love some of the sounds, chuckles and random smiles and stuff Steve makes 😂😂 like this one… almost like ”hahaaa look what I found in here” 😂

Here’s my story of how I stumbled across This absolute diamond. I was searching videos about drains and storm drains ect as I’m very interested in the underground network of tunnels. I find a video titled “camping in a storm drain” now considering I have a lot of knowledge of storm drains ect my first reaction was, right well done RU-vid you’ve done it again....show me this fool. 4 days later 30 videos down and I still can’t stop watching you. I don’t even know what it is. Maybe it’s your humbleness or just the fact that I feel like we’re in this together. You’re an amazing guy and honestly my favourite RU-vidr.

*breathes fire* “Oooo that’s smooth”

“I don’t see any really dead trees above me - other than the one I tied my hammock onto”". You crack me up!

I just made this recipe and it's actually AMAZING. Who would have thought it'd be so good? I seasoned the chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Also, I had accidentally grabbed the "Low Sodium" chicken stuffing box at the store-but I will proudly declare that I don't feel like I missed out on any flavor!

Thanks for being such a good role model for people, proud that you're Canadian, and you're such an avid enthusiast of the environment and protecting it. You really care about your planet and your surroundings. Love the videos Steve! Told my Dad to check you out too!! Good luck buddy keep up the great work!!!! Step 2 Glenlivet ;) love it brotha ;)

lmao I enjoy a good "swing" after a few step twos.. onward we go *looks at camera awkwardly*

“That’s my guilty pleasure, I do enjoy a nice swing after a couple step 2” 😂😂😂😂😭 *YOU’RE THE MAN STEVE!*

"Someone see's me they are going to know exactly what I'm doing." And not care, like everyone else... ROFL Oh you adorable paranoid Love you
