Fresh Coat Of Paint On The Boat!

[@mary-jogill6264]

A great example to us all of how to just chill and do what you love. Refreshing every time I watch. Thanks Steve!!!

[@ARealPersonNotABot]

*Gotta be honest guys. These aren't the best of times for me. Hell, it's not the best of times for anyone. But I have the biggest smile on my face every time I see Steve. I freakin love your channel man. It's like the ultimate anti-depressant. Also, I always love the greetings from Crazy Neighbor. Keep up the great work* I don't care if you're camping in a Wal-Mart parking lot, the woods, campgrounds, highway median, or a rest stop. You are why we watch. You're an awesome dude. I speak for all of us. I say that with confidence.

[@joksantorres]

Steve, thank you for making this crazy year so much better. I really love your content. I've learned so much. Enjoy your step 2!

[@TheNursejules]

I wish I had a neighbor & friend like Crazy Neighbor! 🍺

[@KarlFarbman]

Your videos are really helping these days. Thanks brother.

[@JB-ek4yx]

I don't know if there's still time before you go, but if you can fit a rudder behind the propeller (fixed to the prop shaft above, so it turns with the direction of the motor) it'll give you much more steering control. Good luck on your quest!

[@wesallen4228]

Looking forward to the adventure. Nice.

[@Swimmeralex4]

You watch Towtrucker?

[@jonbagley8129]

If the potato cannon doesn’t happen on the boat we definitely need a potato cannon video down the road. Or maybe even a step 2 launcher!

[@mikebeatstsb7030]

Step 2's are WAYY too precious to just go launching tho aye...? Empty step 2's.? Which I don't think would work all that well..? Potato I think is much better suggestion

[@edac1078]

The "Step II" in battleship grey, that's fantastic.

[@dylanbrown5527]

This may get lost in the comments and thats fine but hopefully you'll actually get to see it. Just wanna say man that I'm 25 years old and on the 5th of August my son was born (my first child) and then 13 days later my fiance passed away from complications from the pregnancy. Its been a hard few weeks but your videos as simple as they may seem on the outside give me something to look forward to and offer a few minutes of enjoyment in these dark times. Not all hero's wear capes some are just regular dudes that like to camp. Keep it up Steve.

[@crazyneighbour2429]

Hey dylan i get your grief i had a son die at 5 months live one day at a time

[@dylanbrown5527]

@@crazyneighbour2429 Thank you man! I understand.. one foot in front of the the other. I hope you and Steve have a good river trip. Looking forward to the video! Smooth Seas never made skilled sailors.. if you could just make sure Steve See's or here's about my message! Just want you guys to know your videos help some people through the day is all!

[@Oniwah]

You got this. Looking forward to seeing it.

[@juliecampbell3895]

I am so excited to watch your adventure down the river.

[@johnfurmanski4708]

The look of confidence on your face at the end of the video... I can't wait for this trip, either! Keep up the good work, Steve!

[@yunglifty]

Thanks for putting out these updates.

[@agsek2481]

I like how much effort you guys are putting in to your hobby!! Looking forward to the upcoming videos as always!

[@THESPORTINGCAMP]

Careful with the jewels there Steve. Almost lost them to a trolling motor. 😁👊

[@suebrown3465]

Looking forward to seeing your trip! You’ve got a good friend there with Crazy Neighbour! Bon Voyage ⛴ Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️

[@Chriscarpenter2]

Probably was the same cold front that came through Colorado? We went from 100 and sunny (and wildfires everywhere) on Sunday to high of 37 and snow Tuesday. Lots of crazy wind too. Boats looking good! Excited for the trip.

[@ericryckman5174]

Wow! That must have been pretty crazy. You are probably correct.

[@JediMasterHilljr]

Here in Utah we had a hurricane - literally - we had over 100 mph gusts

[@detectingrose2221]

Can’t wait this is gonna be so awesome fun ,,thank Steve and Crazy Neighbor for taking us along ice improvements look awesome as well gray is perfect color

[@chefpinot45]

You guys have a fun, safe trip. Looking forward to the videos.

[@user-rb5sv3vh2c]

Love your property Steve. You are very blessed. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Cool setup Steve...

[@humann2544]

Awesome Steve, I can't wait to see the footage. Thank you for bringing the fun! =)

[@jimvanderpoel4467]

Steve have you thought of adding a drop down rudder with a steering handle? If you're just going with the current. That's what I have done before.

[@tombulger]

I was thinking the same thing as it could be an added sense of security if the trolling motor quits on them. Never bad to think about safety first.

[@ericryckman5174]

Good call!

[@m1t2a1]

You have to plan too far ahead. That would be step 3, which is more difficult after step 2.

[@doneown503]

where does the sextant secured down at?

[@whipplefish3259]

In utah we just had a windstorm Monday night into Late Tuesday early Wednesday depending on location. Official gusts were recorded at 99 mph in some areas. The University of Utah had an unofficial gust of 112 mph. 43 semi's were blown over. Trees have damaged homes and power lines. It is late Friday and there are reports of 35000 to 38000 homes/businesses still without power. Lucky only one reported fatality attributed to the winds.

[@katherinenicholas7116]

Can't wait to see how the adventure goes! Best wishes for a great trip.

[@phil4677]

Hey Steve, I just checked Canadian Tire website, in store inventory, they seem to have good stock on life preservers. I know you have a shit ton to do yet, but these are a good investment. I sailed in one hurricane in Bahamas, and many storms on Lake Erie, actually a nasty shallow lake. Better to wear the pfd and not need it. More good news, looks like Canadian Tire stores in Detroit area-Road Trip!

[@MeowVicious]

Looks pretty darn sweet! Hope your trip is awesome.

[@davewhomri]

Battleship grey...... perfect! Never mind all the armchair engineers and their suggestions about your river craft, it’ll be fine (if it’s not, you’ll adapt, that’s what you do) We will all enjoy living vicariously through your latest adventure, enjoy Steve!

[@Ellomarshall50]

Boat is looking great!!! Really looking forward to these upcoming vids.

[@jesb265]

Can’t wait for this trip!!!! Looking good. It’s a beaut!

[@susnorth40]

Hey Steve and crazy neighbour!! Great video ! Excited for the trip ?? We all are I’m sure. 🤘

[@stevenlennon12]

ive hitched onto your dream because now i want to go down a river in someone elses home made barrel boat. thanks for the dream AND the boat, Steve.

[@fredamarshall3627]

Hunker down for the ride of your life ! Step up and enjoy, can’t wait for the videos. You are making life in Melbourne Aus bearable with our never ending lockdown. Happy belated birthday.

[@tobiasball5225]

Chin up, Steve. This looks like a load of fun. Looking forward to the videos.

[@on_another_level5661]

What do you dream of doing in the future? Steve: Taking a journey down river on a homemade barrel boat. Ya gotta love Steve.

[@whtmlrd6123]

Steve and crazy neighbor. So glad for a late night update. Don’t free spin the minkota-- unless chopping some smoked meat for an awesome sandwich. God speed.

[@wesgregg6451]

Running trolling motor out of water = testing the nonexistent overheat sensor, lol.

[@longjohn77]

Looking forward to your river trip videos. Safe travels to you two!!

[@restlesshomebody]

Our state caught fire after our windstorm, it's been brutal here, but your story was a really lovely surprise. Thank you,enjoy the fresh air and blue skies!

[@ericryckman5174]

Sorry to hear that. Which state? Fire and wind can't be a good combination. I hope you and your family can escape danger.

[@stevesproul3744]

Can’t wait to see the adventure Steve.

Battleship Wallis braves the High Seas for a rollicking adventure full of chicanery and bucaroonery. I DARE YOU to dress like pirates and fly a skull and crossbones

[@cclemoyne4033]

I'm all for this, BUT... The straps at the front, where the cones joins the tubes of the pontoons, need to have a shim or some kind of pressure dispersal. Do Not Tighten the straps with little pressure in the pontoons. First pressurize, then secure the straps. I hope you are bringing LARGE paddles, that outboard looks a little anemic. I know I'm sounding like grandma, just like your vids and wan't you back for more. Cheers from Montreal. Cant wait for the Christening!!! 🍺2

[@aussiedad2587]

Regular Tom Sawyers Huckleberry Finn adventure looks cool guys dont forget a fishing line. 😎 🇦🇺🍺

[@Bowlin01]

This is going to be excellent! Great work by you and Crazy Neighbour. A definite thumbs up on the potato cannon 😀

[@J0YB0X]

"Battleship Grey"..... I love that Tiesto song.

[@derekfawcett601]

thanks for all the video's steve ..have fun up the river and remember to stay safe...thankyou my friend

[@mlugin8050]

Great project, i‘m looking forward to spectate the trip. Maybe it‘s better the storm came now than when sou would be on the water and the structure collapsed. Your channel inspires me to do camping. Today i‘m packing for three nights camping. It‘s a campsite in Switzerland, 1.5 hours from where i live in the jurassic mountains. Cooking on fire is what i look forward to the most, and some step twos of course. Maybe i make a video and upload it on my channel as my first ever video 😁 so i don‘t expect much. Thanks for the good ideas and for showing us that we can do a lot with improvisation.

[@anthonyfoster9427]

Can’t wait for the next voyage of the good ship step two

[@RaginMoose100]

Really loving this new channel.👍

[@danielbarrows7144]

Just like watching Red Green on steroids lol 😂 looks like fun, hope you guys have fun and film lots of good content! Can't wait to see the video

[@ericryckman5174]

I know its probably impossible but I wish this trip was 100% live stream from start to finish. I'm so jealous...I'm probably not alone. I bet many others wish they we going too. This is so exciting! Best of luck gentlemen!

[@arctichare8185]

Your water-going vessel project is looking good. (Indeed, as you say, a layer of fiberglass can be substantially heavy.)

[@chriswatkins3058]

I found Steve in April a little after all the orders to hunker down were given. I was planning to go camping for the first time in over 30 years and was just browsing videos on camping and tent reviews. So i see this video and some guy is trying to camp stealthily at a patch of woods by a rest stop. I was pretty much hooked after that. I did get out to camp once in july before the fires started. Dont rhink ill make it again until next year. But sure will live vicariously (did i spell that rigjt) thru Steve until then. Well, and after that too!!

[@DeepintheRockies]

I am so happy that you "stealth" mentioned the Step 2 channel on your last video 😉 I always look forward to your videos.

[@marianfrances4959]

Wish you and crazy neighbor were my neighbors! 😉👍🇨🇦

[@debb9008]

wow 29.5k subscribers in such a short time... WTG! cant wait to see your trip on the river...

[@mrbillmacneill]

its a classic marine colour for sure

[@stevedeneau5021]

Nice bout.. Sorry to see the camper broke.. House look's nice..

[@deckieg1]

Its like watching someone play Stranded Deep in real time

[@PnwOnTour]

Yikes! I’ve been contemplating making a truck camper but I think I’m going to make a canopy lift system 😀 I do upholstery so I can make a skirt with windows for the gap when canopy is up.

[@matsuyamarockers]

Cheers, bro. I’d do this in a heart beat.

[@keithgibson2265]

Nice hearing the sandhill cranes in the background

[@geraldoutdoors245]

Sometimes Steve, you remind of Red Green......

[@bethehole]

Tell me that the craft will be named the SS hunker Down! Can't wait to see what adventures you guys get into. Here's to wishing you a safe trip and like others have mentioned, you might think about a cheap, DIY rudder....

[@LMay64]

Wow, that was some storm!

[@jamesstorey1206]

The boat is looking good guys 👍🏼

[@jeffjohansen6881]

A 'boat' like that would probably be easier to control if the trolling motor was mounted on the bow rather than the stern. You can remove the head to turn it 180° by removing one bolt on the under side of the head, rotating the head, and then reinstalling the bolt so the handle is pointed the right way to steer it from the bow. You can also get an extension handle so it can be controlled from further away if that helps balance the boat.

[@stevem.6279]

steve, make a rudder with longer tiller. this will allow more movement aboard and allow you to fix motor in one direction. move the motor mount off to one side a little. good luck!

[@stevem.6279]

plywood, door hinge, 5ft of 2x4. mount motor on side, spin to aft, lock in, steer with tiller.

[@stefanpreiss2657]

[@nmoconnors]

Thanks steve for the update love your videos been around for awhile

[@mr.nomadic]

Truck camper wooden box would make a great cabin on the boat steve👍

[@DClean]

Crazy Neighbour's Potato Canon has my vote. It would be the perfect final touch on the battleship HMCS Hunker Down

[@TEmery57]

just got my hunker down hoodie . good luck and have fun on your river trip . be safe out there.

I'm building a squaredrop camper. You got me wondering how much weight I've added using fiberglass. But it's still the old way I would have gone. Sorry for the truck camper 😢

[@chrishelms1967]

Jealous of the adventure upcoming

[@geoffupton]

regardless of wind damage im sure crazy and yourself can rebuild... make it better... its the million dollar boat! (damn wrong channel!) basically, if you have a home made boat that needs fixing and nobody else can help... you need... the hunker team! 😂😂😂 seriously tho, well done getting everything roughly back together! im sure you'll be sorted before the journey 😊 take care all of you, remember, step 2 is the overall addon to the whole project... that and actually doing it!🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@trentkrikken9873]

Can't wait 2 c this trip on film boys!!

[@abrown4green]

That color is sweet on the boat!

[@christophermorris481]

Steve I agree that battleship grey is the best color for your boat, by far. Only thing is that I don’t see a potato cannon mounted as crazy neighbor requested. 😂 best wishes man!

[@TonyNelsonCamping]

I hit like before I even started watching, Im just so happy to see you back online!! 🌞💪
