I see a simple man enjoying simple things and I love it

Me: why the hell did UKposts recommend this video to me Also me: I am now Steve's biggest fan

Steve just having fun and using the swing set makes me so happy. It's honestly so nice to watch someone just enjoy the little things

Man. I feel like this guy is the most genuine youtuber out there. Just a real guy, no gimmicks. Much respect Steve , I dig your videos!

"The instructions call for 2 cups of water, that sounds gross, so im gonna use Guiness". LOL, loved the Vid Steve

Imagine walking through a park at night. It's snowing. You see a campfire, no tent, a guy in a sleeping bag, and he's filming himself with a tripod

Love this dude. Gotta bush craft a fire, opens up bag of store bought wood and a road torch!! ❤️

Proud to say, in my 50's I primitive backpacked overnight with no tent - slept on a thermarest w/emergency blanket for a cover, just carried an emergency kit, water and gorp to eat. Needless to say, it wasn't snowing. But I'll never forget the thrill.

One of your best productions yet, Steve. It brought memories of 60+ years ago when my three brothers and I would camp just like that (minus store-bought wood, plastic tarp and a real camp ground). An old chunk of canvas, a pack of hotdogs and all the blankets we could smuggle out of the house, and off to the woods. Sadly, there are only three of us left now, but we still camp that way. I’ve stopped watching most of the bushcrafting channels because they tend to leave folks with the idea that if you don’t use a fire steel and carry at least a thousand dollars worth of gear, you’re not a real bushcrafter. They call themselves bushcrafters, I call them flatlanders. Please don’t change a thing.

Man, I love these videos of yours. People take “camping” so serious sometimes. Like bringing their tactical gear, super knives, whittling a special stick to start the fire, etc. That’s cool and fun and all, but gosh - camping is just being outside, maybe sleeping there, cooking some food, whatever. It doesn’t require a special wardrobe and it can be done with some blankets.

As a fellow canadian, I gotta say your politeness and likeableness comes through so well in your videos. I wish you the best bud! I hope to live a life as adventurous as your's eventually! 😄

Glad to live in a world where a guy like him can do stuff like that and actually have an audience and hopefully some income.

"First thing first, i gotta bushcraft a fire." Immediately pulls over a plastic bag of pre chopped fire wood.

reminded me of a time when my cousin got a new bag and we wanted to go snow camping to test it out. We got a late start and didn't get to the base of the mountain until after dark. We bought two bushels of wood from the local grocery store... (something we'd never normally do)... and made our way up the icy mountain roads in my Scirocco. T he roads were pretty awful, but we persevered until we found a pullout. We hiked in about a quarter mile... and realized we had forgotten the tent. Whoops. But not to be disuaded, we dug into the snow, put our pads down and got on making the fire. Trouble was that the town where we purchased the wood was below the snow line, so instead of fluffly powdery flakes, they got rain. All of our wood was soaked to the bone. So we hunkered down in a cold, winter camp with no tent. Fortunately our bags did what they advertised and we slept great until we were woken by a search and rescue guy. Apparently we arrived so late that we never knew there was a check point at the base of the mountain... a place where they would have told us that there was no camping allowed. So when the Rangers were doing their morning check they saw my car and thought it was cross country skiers who had gotten in some sort of trouble. Fortunately, the radio guy gave us a head start before he radioed that he'd found us. We slid down that mountain and booked on home. One of the more memorable trips I've been on.

Once again, best camping channel out there. Humble, simple, and calming. Best thing to watch before bed.

What can one say...we need more Steves around this world

I'm so glad he actually got on that swing set lol

I've been camping for 40 years and I've clearly spent wayyyyy to much time thinking about fire starters. My next trip is with flares (from Canadian tire of course). Thank you sir.

"Now your camping with Steve." would make a nice T-shirt!

Cooking outside and talking about exothermic reactions is just too good. This guy is so cool.

Going from a 4 bedroom home, to being not so comfortable, I ended up homeless for about 3 months. I had a car, and that's where I slept, but finding a place to eliminate, etc., was difficult. You have given me so many ideas about surviving in the wilderness, and I wanted to thank you. I have my twig stove, lighting materials and tarps, etc. And that Dakota fire hole I knew about but you made it look so easy, and now I know how to make one. I think I could make it if I had to do it again, only this time I'm going to the woods, police can't find you there, and are too lazy to look, thank goodness. I love your videos.

The "Bushcraft a fire" joke earned a like because I could imagine actual Bushcraft guys raging.

The ace up his sleeve was a sleeping bag,"inside of a sleeping bag" how did he think of such black magic

This has to be the weirdest cooking channel I’ve ever seen.

"It's a time to reevaluate your life when you find yourself drinking beer with a bunch of Carnies in a Wal-Mart parking lot on a Tuesday morning." One of my favorite quotes of all time! Love your channel Steve, I can't get enough of it! You are the Man.

My mom and I love you Steve. We lost my dad a few years back and we support your positivity through hard times - Joel from Ontario

This was the very first Camping with Steve video I’ve ever watched. I’ve been hooked ever since. Thank you youtube for recommending this to me again. Very good memories !

I was casting this video to my TV. My wife walked in during the moment you were strapping the hand warmers to the battery. She asked me what kind of bomb you were making, and why I needed to learn how to make one. 😂😂😂

*fire lights* Steve: “can’t go wrong throwing a few of these fire starters in here” Now you’re camping with Steve😎

"cream cheese the bejeese out these" Wow that line, those words will never be forgotten

“Just to be sure, I’ve thrown in some garbage from the car…”. That’s why I love this channel 😂

I saw anothe 'Tuber review the same hammock you use. I made the comment "Looks like a good place to Hunker Down". In less than an hour, i had a response: "Yep. Steve would approve"!

"Too much beer in the soup, had to water it down with beef broth." Now that's camping with Steve. Keep up the good work man, love your videos.

Jiffy pop popcorn. Classic! Steve you are a hoot! That is what I love about your channel. Nothing fancy, you just go outside, camp out and try your hand at camping. You do show a glimpse of some bushcraft skills. Did you get a new pair of hikers after your blowout. Can't stop watching.

Steve, thank you! This is the original video that inspired me to off season camp this year, and we are absolutely loving it so far. You proved to me that I didn’t need to break the bank to get out there and enjoy camping in the cold! Camping for the people! 👍🏼

I'm thankful for Steve putting out such awesome content on the regular. You rock, sir.

I wanna make Steve a shirt that says "Busch craft" .

By far, one of the most enjoyable videos by Steve. In the swing! Jiffy pop! Guinness in the stew! So much awesomeness.

I’d love to see a regular Steve video like this! Step 1 Step 2 Dinner Sleep Breakfast 🙌🏼 I love your camp cooking the most & 2 meals a video is always an awesome bonus

This reminds me of sleeping in a bag when I was in the Marines. We had a three liner system. Winter bag inside a summer bag and both bags inside a Gortex liner. We went to sleep on dry ground and woke up covered in snow. Great video as always, I enjoy camping with Steve!

Steve : " There's a lake out there, I'm going to go peek at the lake, " Also Steve : " That lake is a lot farther than I thought, I think I'll just tend to my beef stew."

In the UK we call this sleeping rough....we don't have so much great outdoors so they tend to do it in shop doorways.

It's amazing how cold it can be even indoors, when there's even a foot of snow on the ground, and you have no power on indoors, and are not prepared for the cold! I admire you being able to sleep outside in the snow! I froze when I slept indoors when snow was on the ground. 🌬️🌨️❄️⛄️🔥

This makes tv look so fake it kinda makes me mad that we were raised on watching that fake crap, this is real and I’m thankful for something real, happy thanksgiving from Texas

I’m just looking at the picnic table & thinking you could wrap the tarp overtop, with a flap underneath as insulation. Leave a portion open for the heat to come through from the campfire, crawl underneath, using the picnic table as your shelter.

I'm so glad all the bears are hunkered down right now, I lost it, Steve never change my man you're perfect

Steve: "I just need to get these logs going for a nice fire" proceeds to call in an airstrike.

"First things first gotta bush craft a fire" pulls out pre dried store bought logs, a flare and petrol based fire starters. I guess it is bush craft when you usually use a flame thrower :D I love this guy :D

Not pictured: the other 11 beers he crushes

your voice is so soothing. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. you should do audible book reading 😀

“Water, that sounds gross, I’m using Guinness “ Steve would fit in well here is OZ HE is a true legend

Dude You are crazy I love it Nothing bothers you. You are my hero Stay safe on your adventures !!!

"These two things should keep me alive tonight but we will see" - Good ol' Steve

It's pretty cool to see the older videos. From where you started, to where you are now. I love how you're just a normal guy, doing normal things. In fact you have made me start camping again. I want to go tonight, but it's going to be below 30 here in Texas and I'm not used to the cold like you hardy Canadians, lol!

Minimal camping, this guy is nuts😄 Brilliant stuff, I’d love to do this

These videos have inspired me to go solo camping on my motorcycle when winter is over here in Wisconsin. It looks so relaxing in that campground with no one around

how to camp without a tent: get drunk so you don't feel the cold and hope you don't die.

Now I can more easily imagine how our ancient forefathers made jiffy pop in the wild. Thanks Steve

No tent but freshly cracked pepper. One of the many reasons I love this channel.

Steve, when will your “Hunker Down! You’re Camping With Steve” cookbook be coming out? You have a lot of great recipes to share with your fans.

A possible tip: after you’ve finished with the table for the night, putting it on its side close to the fire may provide some heat reflecting back to you.

You eat better camping out than I eat at home. The Jiffy-Pop was a nice touch! Thanks for letting us camp with you, Steve!

I personally always use garbage bags as a ground layer and a tarp over top! Thanks for these videos we camp in a similar environments (you've made videos in my city) so this makes me feel much more confident in my ability to go winter camping!

Totally Impressed-especially the swinging laughed my ....off

“...a little pepper” *grinds for 4hrs* Just how I like it! Love the vids, Steve. 🇦🇺

Here we are again. Reliving the good old days indeed!‼️ thanks Steve 🧹🕳

Never a dull moment with Steve.

Did you just add a time lapse to prove you’re sleeping overnight ??! 😃 that is incredible, thank you !

“So glad the bears are hunkered down right now” 😂😂 I lost it

Steve is off the hook when it comes to having the guts to sleep out in the open like that. It's something that I'd want to do but would never have the guts. I don't think I'd do it in a freeze though. God I love this channel!

I always look forward to that well-deserved Step 2 in these videos! Thanks for the bushcraft fire-starting master class! 😉🤣😂🔥

"Time to reevaluate your life when you find yourself drinking beer on a Tuesday morning with a bunch of carnies in a Walmart parking lot.".... yup, we've all been there....

Love so much that you actually went for a swing LOL

My favorite part of camping is cooking over the fire. I love that you are such a great cook!

ive been having a tough time these past few weeks but your vids are always a comfort to me now

Steve. “ got to bush craft me up a fire “ Chucks in fire wood from bag lights with flair and fire starters! Cracks a can 👌 I like it

So a friend and I were on the liard river up around fort Simpson nwt. And it was in the fall so it got really dark and we got stuck at an abandoned fish camp and j asked my friend hey how does an indian start a fire (were both native) so he piles up a bunch of wood and then pours a cup of gasoline on it and lights it up. Stands there by the bonfire and looks at me and says "that's how".

Steve, your chef style cooking really adds flavor to this channel. Awesome videos. Hope you make more stealth camping ones too!

I'm in my 60's now, so no way I would be sleeping in winter on the ground. Give me a cot, tent and wood stove. The days of wrapping myself up in a blanket with a tree at my back and a fire in front are over. It's all about comfort now :)

“I’ve got to start a bush fire”. Grabs prepackaged wood. Classic Steve.

the swing set scene was hilarious ... Steve , you're Canadian ! we need a dollar store camping poutine recipe to hunker down with !

Steve seems like a genuinely nice guy.

When the SHTF scenario happens, I think he'll do ok. You go Steve. Love your channel and learning a lot here. Not just in survival but in fun too. 😁

Another wonderful vid from the poor man's Bear Grylls... Love how everything is on the cheap,the cold suit for example (looks good!) Fun to see 'real' camping and not a 30 minute advert slot. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Spain.

We share the same definition for “Bushcrafting” a fire. E.g. Road flares + gasoline. Ain’t nobody got time for ferro rods and coconut husks

Bushcrafting noob here. I was super impressed how you got that fire going, just quick question. What species of tree offers it's bounty in bundles like that. Also what kind of tender did you use? It went up like a friggin flare. Thanks!

I love the foreshadowing of the swing, yes Steve indulge yourself and swing away you deserve it! Also I have added having a step two with you on my bucket list.

A tip to remember when you do have a big roaring fire is to set some flat stones in the fire let em get good and warm then stick them in your sleeping bag. It’ll slowly release heat for a while throughout the night.

'Time to reevaluate your life when you drinking beers with Carney's in the Walmart parking lot.' Truer words have never been spoken. BTW you brought me back to my childhood with the Jiffy pop. I'd completely forgotten about that stuff.

I'm late to all these videos but Steve really makes me feel like we're all right there with him camping love this dudes personality always loved bigfoot camping in ohio aka stealth camping i always enjoy the little things seems like this man does too I'll be watching for as long as he uploads

You have a wonderful "tongue in cheek" sense of humor...

One more trick for you when sleeping with sleeping bag only: wool shirt over your face. If it gets cold during the night, that helps to prevent sore throat.

I like that you attempted to grind the pepper one handed. That's optimism! 😂

I love the way Steve "bushcrafts" a fire ... LOL! Very much how I would do it myself

Steve is a true survivalists, he rubs two sticks together until it makes a fire. Impressive!!

Glad I found your channel. You make camping entertaining. We all feel like we are there with you. Thanks for what you do. 👍👍👍

I recently found this channel and I love all of the weird cold camping scenarios. Camping in a u-Haul van, camping in a hot tent in your backyard, camping in summer gear, etc. This is great stuff. I've never camped in the cold, I've been cold while camping but that was always unusually cold nights during the summer. Cold weather camping seems like an awesome thing to try. I'm not sure why it's not a more common thing. I would love to do it sometime.

Going back through all these older videos, and it's interesting to note that this is the very first video where Steve incorporated the bedtime time-lapse. What a great vid.

I like the fact that you narrate real-time.

I've been watching lots of hardcore survival guys, and I keep coming back to Steve--- because, he doesn't pull any punches.. no weird editing that makes you suspect the autheticity.. he just films what he loves. Even if it isn't the "Vouge" way of doing this kind of stuff on UKposts.
