NO TENT! Winter Camping Under The Stars With Cheap Gear

Quick overnight camping trip without a shelter. I set up with my very basic gear and two cheap sleeping bags, a tarp, and a folding chair. Beef stew for dinner cooked over a roaring fire.

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.

[@waynelewis881]

Cody Hall , thank you. We’re planning another camp tomorrow with one brother, my oldest daughter and one of my nephews. All of our kids and grandkids are being brought up to respect and appreciate nature and family. We just think it’s the right thing.

[@davearonow65]

Yeah, real bushcrafting is,walking into the deep dark woods with nothing but the clothes on your back and maybe a pocket knife. I'm not a bushcrafter, I'm a camper, but when I want to watch bush crafting videos, I don't want to see a camping store sized wad of gear.

[@b.w.22]

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.

[@thefrub]

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.

What are you waiting for

[@noelcunningham7184]

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.

don't think I've come across someone who's so contented with the bear-necessities and such a easy going attitude! Shout out from Southern Canada aka Minnesnowta! Always a skookum time watching Steve Wallis videos you betcha!

[@88woodbikes4]

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

[@jamesaaron7211]

One thing from open winter camping experience, I’d recommend clearing the snow beneath the tarp. Also, I’ve found that open winter camping always leads to strong/weird dreams.

[@jakeleisure8326]

@Big Wheel That's just step 3. And 4 and 5 and. . .

[@chriskane482]

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

[@Camromulus]

That's the hitchhiker's motto. 👍

[@Legohaiden]

that's actually a sure fire way to die. Alcohol interferes with your body's natural "oh shit im too cold WAKE UP!" and you could quite literally sleep to death. If your not drunk or in very poor health, 99x out of 100 you will wake up when you are too cold so that you can move around, or do something to warm up.

[@Legohaiden]

oh its also a system depressant, so it would actually make the cold much worse because it slows your heart down, thus killing you quicker... forgot to add that.

[@chriskane482]

I've been bingeing this channel for a few weeks now, and Steve is a big fan of alliteration.

[@HayabusaOrlando]

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

[@sudopenguin]

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

[@ClayMann]

you just know someone would have complained he faked it. I don't know how he does it. When the fire went out in the time lapse I actually said aloud *OH NO* thinking he was in trouble. Then seconds later its morning and he's telling us it worked out well ha!

[@jeffstrong8280]

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.

[@scatpack2]

I used to do this all over Europe (in lower, and higher reaches of various mountain ranges). My method rather rudimentary: medium weight wool blanket, Military Surplus shelter half (In this case, two Austrian army postwar shelter quarters mated together as a rectangle, and sleep as well clothed as you need and see fit. lay out the shelter half, lay blanket on top, and then roll yourself up ion it in a mummy bag sort of arrangement. It leaves virtually no place for the wind to get in, and is snow and water proof as the shelter half is (give it a waterproofing treatment too of course). Leave your boots on, but totally loosened up and unlaced. They will still dry, and still keep your feet warm. And again, you can get up and boogie (even in the dark) fast and easy. I had nights where I slept worse than others, but no complaints from me. Plus, it is could not be easier or quicker to roll up and move on. Particularly in the dark, All folds/rolls up like any classic ''bedroll''.

[@corbychappell9751]

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.

[@prairiekasey7593]

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!

[@leesuschrist]

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

[@doloresreynolds8145]

Lee H Traction in snow isn't that great on road tires with two wheels... tried it by accident once, All's good until you need to make a sharp turn....

[@tuoppi42]

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.

[@paulcook68]

Hey thats a good idea.

[@scatpack2]

Great addition, yes. I would do a similar thing using a head "toque" pulled over the top and brim of a hat then down. The brim would leave a void for easy breathing etc.

[@ironghostrotation]

Next time as your browning the meat use a small amount of stout "guiness" and cook it down witht the veggies as well after the alchol toasts out of the meat an veggies then u add the beef broth boom

[@ZonDog]

I've used plastic , but I put it under and over the sleeping bag. It keeps heat in. Very cozy!

i just LOST it when he said water sounded gross, so he would use Guinness lmaoooooo

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!

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

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 KZbin.

[@jonathancleve6094]

"I'm gonna bushcraft a fire" I thought my bowdrill skills were cool and here comes Steve with a road flare blowing me out of the water. I guess I need to step up my game.

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. 🌬️🌨️❄️⛄️🔥

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!
