The idea to convert the oil well areas to campsites has great merit. In the US we have the Rails to Trails Conservancy which converts old rail lines into multiuse public trails. They are wide and mostly flat because they are built in the defunct railroad cut. They are very popular and ever expanding around the country.

[@linebrunelle1004]

there's a trail across all of Canada and a few off shoots North and South. One of those is in Alberta where Steve lives. The trail is an old railway that goes through small towns and beautiful natural settings. From Edmonton to Cold Lake. Come check it out

Its great that we are doing that with our defunct rail lines, but also, wish we would use rail travel and shipping more than we currently do.

Hey I'm "Oil Field People" I did some digging, these wells are owned by Long Run Exploration LTD The wells were drilled in 2005-2009 and have been suspended in 2018, Long run does still appear to be operating so these wells aren't "Abandoned" In the industry abandoning well means something completely different, when a well is abandoned that means the well is cemented off down hole and then usually cut 2 meters below ground and welded shut. In addition these days Oil and Gas companies have to put money aside upfront before drilling a well so that even if the company goes bust the well can be properly "Abandoned"

I guess give him a try. I forgot the Asian / Korean girl's YT channel name but there's one featuring an Asian women who does a bunch of various shelter builds & sometimes, catch & cook stuff ( mostly fish!)

There's a few videos out there of Stalkers going into the zone and camping in the city too, a channel I recommend is shiey. They're all about preservation of those zones instead of a lot of KZbinrs who do it and smash stuff etc

[@rob052771]

LOL

[@draisine1609]

Check out videos by Shiey. He did that...

Hear Steve say: "it feels a little bit warm nears these rods."

[@paulploughe3472]

"I'm sure this is locked, oh you gotta be kidding?.... Nope not going in there, I was never here" 😂

[@rawesome1000]

I love when you do the the classic Les Stroud shot walking away from the camera.

[@sealard2279]

Steve I’ve been watching for a couple weeks now and I’m just commenting on your most recent video hoping you’ll see it. I just have one thing to say man, thank you, you’ve brought something to people that they can’t always access. When it’s 2 am and I need to relax you bring me right back to when I was a kid camping with my dad. All the love and peace in the world, thank you sir ❤️

[@Sam-rb1sj]

Some midweek camping with Steve! Perfect 👌

[@honkyvanwildebeest8926]

Steve Wallis and Foresty Forest post videos on the same day. Well, there goes my morning. Thanks Steve 👍

[@charliewatts6895]

My dream is that Foresty and Steve go stealth camping together. That would be neat I think.

What's Forresty Forrest?

@@GP-tx6zt another Awesome Canadian channel, but with more of a focus on hiking and living out of a van in all seasons. Matthew Posa also has a cool channel, canoeing, fishing, hiking, cooking. What do these creators have in common? They all love life, the outdoors, good food and adventures and their enthusiasm is infectious. Check em out!

We had this same issue in Texas this last year. We couldn't even get a reservation to go to the state parks to fish because they were limiting how many people were in the parks. All the parks were reserved for camping as well. I don't blame families to use their time off work to camp and do things and give their kids so many experiences. It was a rough year everywhere. I think your idea fantastic. We have tons of old oil wells here but the majority are on private property.

Steve is quite the film maker. Very talented

Still waiting for the day I go out to walk the dog and I see Steve tucked in under the Alumacraft

[@tigtime1763]

Here's a trick I learned from camping in freezing temp. Take a wool blanket, drape it over the tent on the outside. So it's between the rain fly and the top of the tent. Doing that makes it feel like you have a heater in your tent.

[@jrock718]

That tent cot looks my next purchase. Cabelas should be sponsoring you.... and Canadian Tire lol

[@joejefferies11]

Canadian tire is more on brand I believe. And he certainly has given them the earned promotion.

[@classyviper1one]

I've heard wildly different reviews on those tent cots. Just make sure you do heavy research prior to purchasing. *Just an FYI*

[@AdrianKingsleyHughes]

Steve, your content just gets better and more creative. I also love the wholesome family friendly nature of it. Glad to contribute to the step 2 fund.

[@Twincobra13]

Yay, camping with Steve. Breaking out the hotdogs and sleeping bags. (Even though we're inside.)

Or, that pizza he made came back to haunt him in the worst way possible! Well, he did say something about pipelines so...lol.

The pump jacks and the pump jack house is so nostalgic i used to go to work with my papaw and helped him gage the tanks. It is one of the most memorable parts of my childhood.

[@rayd3657]

can you go to supposedly haunted locations?or places with creepy backstorys?

[@campingwithsteve]

Fantastic idea. I'll start doing some research!

I would watch that, for sure .👍

[@wolverine2221]

I’ve worked in the Texas oilfield since I was a kid, and still do. The well with the blue motor on it , I have not seen in probably 20 years. Can’t remember what they’re called, but I remember it has a rod string that has like an auger type design, when the motor turns it , down hole acts like a vertical auger which brings the fluid to the surface. Never ride a pump jack kids!!Ive seen videos in emergency training, of firefighters pulling mangled bodies of teenagers, that thought it would be cool to ride them, out from between the counter weights and pitman arms-- Not Pretty. I agree with Steve, after clearing the location, Plugging the wells and renovating the soil... perfect campsite.

[@rrs1179]

You are thinking of a progressive cavity pump.

[@CH-jy7ir]

Your videos are very enjoyable man. Hard times here and your positive vibes help.

Now that it is late spring and only a month tell Summer solstice; LET THE CAMPING BEGIN!
