Camping Malfunction

Camping Malfunction
Sometimes my camping trips just don't go to plan. This is one such trip. Its a good spot and I plan to try again here at some point.
I get many requests from fans to still post the footage of these mishaps. So here are a few clips from the failed video. I've including some outtakes as well and the final scene that made me throw in the towel.
Hope to have a new video up soon.
Cheers Everyone.

The anger in his eyes from the traffic is priceless 🤣 I can taste the earthiness 😂

[@bigballmagrawl0929]

I felt so bad looking in his eyes was a pretty rough time for are boy here.

[@fubarfrank74]

"This will be a sipping beverage for awhile" The nicest way Steve could say he doesn't like it.

[@DoctorOfSpice]

@@fubarfrank74 Yeah, I'm not sure who tasted a beer and said "You know, this could be beet-ier" but props to Steve for getting adventurous with the Step 2s.

Taste the earthiness..... and return it to the earth 😅

“Just waiting for that traffic to die out” as a major multi-lane highway is behind him that probably has traffic 24/7 😂

[@helenramsdell1959]

This short "non-video" video speaks volumes and shows us a snapshot of how much work (and sometimes frustration) goes into making your videos. Thank you for sharing, Steve. Now get yourself an unearthy step 2!😃

[@fubarfrank74]

"I dont know what I'm gonna put up tomorrow but it aint gonna be this" Posts it anyway and still gets a million views because we just love Steve.

We do.

Even Steve's "failures" are not failures. The man has grit. "Nothing is working today" "Oh well".

[@Ang85323]

❤right up there with John Wayne True Grit

[@DogSpeak]

He's the Chuck Norris of camping

[@neco4114]

If he had 'grit' he would have turned a bad situation into a good video by showing that he can endure, remain, be resilient, show some wit, ingenuity, and go a step further and show how to stealth camp when things are not ideal. Most people who stealth camp can't just give up and go home. That's not grit! That's lack of insight, perspective, close mindedness, lack of real survival skill, need to have comfort, giving up when a couple things in REAL LIFE don't go his way. He is going out in the world to stealth camp but has expectations on the world?

[@Viriaja06]

Just don't go way back to his early videos...a lot of non family friendly words lol. He is amazing no matter what 😊

Hahaha! People describe the flavor of beets as "earthy." What they're trying not to say is that they taste like dirt!

​@Joan-ph2es , yep. My wife likes beets and I'm always trying them because they look so delicious, but I end up with a mouth full of dirt.

[@ianh1504]

"You can really taste the earthiness" is the very polite way of saying "this tastes like dirt"

Steve, I know this didn't work out for you, but as a viewer I was still very entertained. Better luck next time!

[@pulsur]

Crazy Neighbor cackling from the heavens right now watching this vid... thank you for showing us the harsh side of being a stealth camper!

[@Foxyfreedom]

Dang crazy neighbor is dead?

[@-desertpackrat]

And that's why I only have two stealth camp videos lol it's not easy at all.. especially if you live in a place that is vehemently anti-homeless and sends vans to sweep people off to jail while tossing all their stuff into a roll off dumpster so no one can do anything fun in public 😂 it's easy to forget these guys are also risking getting in actual trouble because it's so taboo to cook and take naps outside now.

[@-desertpackrat]

​@@Foxyfreedomyes sadly he passed about a month or two ago I think. Steve made a video about it.

This is great content Steve. What makes you so appealing is your authenticity.

[@Notsram77]

Honestly, Steve, I like coming along even when it doesn't work out. Thanks for sharing this glimpse with us!

[@ronaldcumpsty5605]

Sorry Steve but we did have a giggle at your expense, especially regarding the wrong stove top. Great to see you, no matter what you put on.

[@kiralana]

Thanks for posting it, anyway! I was entertained!! I tell my kids, "Even a bad experience is still experience."

[@debruneau01]

Hahaha… malfunctions are what makes most camping trips! Especially with Steve!

❤️

[@nel895]

I found myself laughing in sympathy as one thing after another went wrong. I've been there, Steve. We've all been there. So glad you posted this.

[@loriallen67]

This is classic Steve. The man has humility and that’s why we love him. We know Steve is one of us-and we’ve all had this experience where everything goes wrong. Thanks for showing us how much life can suck sometimes with dignity and grace. 🙏🏼

[@trainnerd3029]

Step two must be preceded by step one which is getting to the campground!!

Then you take those lemons and throw them at someone as hard as you can and duck down before they see you...

[@bigballmagrawl0929]

Why I smoke so much weed. I live in Michigan thankfully so if I run out of my grow weed I can go to one of are 10 billion dispos and get more for cheap. For the price of a case of beer I can get a fat bag or a few carts. Can't drink so that's my step 2, I would have been so stoned on this adventure after all this curfufle he went through.
