I found another roundabout to camp in!! These are always so fun, and I generally don't like to do the same idea twice but this was TOO tempting. Almost like it was a trap to catch me stealth camping. It was close by to a hotel I stayed at the night before, stones throw from a Cabelas and a Princess Auto. Made some pad Thai and hunkered down for the night on a beautiful autumn evening. ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az • Merch https://crowdmade.com/collections/stevewallis ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Collapsible telescopic stool https://amzn.to/4e5ggsL (similar) Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy Drone: DJI Mini 3 https://amzn.to/3YqQ0Ew ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #hunkerdown #stealthcamping #camping #cheerseveryone

I headed out to one of my favorite camping places in the world. I drove deep in the Rocky Mountains down a logging road miles from civilization. I've had some health issues lately that have impacted me which I discuss in the video, but it was a much-needed camping break. I saw some bears and some other wildlife before hunkering down for the night. Camping food could have been better, but that's what I get for being ambitious. Always keep some hotdogs for a backup when trying a new camping meal! ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy Drone: DJI Mini 3 https://amzn.to/3YqQ0Ew ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #hunkerdown #rockymountains #camping

I put my little bicycle camper on a platform with some plastic barrels for floatation and camped out on the lake for the night. I used an electric trolling motor and a lifepo4 battery for power to move around. It was a great night, probably one of the last nice days of the summer around here before things get cold. Slow cooker "chicken alfredo" was on the menu for this camping dinner. ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #hunkerdown #atthelake #summer

I used some Tyvek Housewrap to build a tent, camping chair, and camping stool. The total cost was very affordable at around $20 of material. I set up at a campground and got some looks from other campers but most seemed to be impressed. The Housewrap chair also held up surprisingly well. It was a normal relaxing night of camping and was fun to try out a new shelter! ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #hunkerdown #stealthcamping #DIY

A makeshift camper disguised as landscaping debris made a great little camping spot for the night. I camped out in a small town by a lake. The camper was just made with 4 pallets, 2 boards, 3 tarps, and some rachet straps. I crawled into the camper from the back of the truck and had a small mattress and some cooking equipment for a quick and easy meal. ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #camping #hunkerdown #stealthcamping #hiddeninplainsight

I wanted a tour of the true south and Oliver Anthony @oliveranthonymusic was kind enough to take me out and show me lots of West Virginia and some Kentucky on the back roads. We did over 200 miles avoiding as much pavement as possible. It was one of the most fun adventures of my life. I couldn't squeeze in any camping on this trip but I saw lots of trees and had a hotdog so that must count for something. ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #camping #hunkerdown #oliveranthony #offroading

I am in the US for a month having the adventure of my life. The only way to stay cool and go "camping" in Georgia was to rent an air conditioned Yurt. It was my first time in a Yurt and I put together a little video to show what that whole thing is all about. The state parks here rent these out and they come equipped with some basic stuff (beds, seating, lights). Bring your own bedding, food, and cooking supplies. It was a fun night hunkering down! The adventure will continue over the coming weeks. Stay tuned! Cheers everyone. ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #camping #hunkerdown #yurt #glamping #campingwithsteve

I camped for the night hidden in my SUV in a parking garage, or parkade depending on what you call them. I needed to apply for my passport and the lines are notoriously long unless you're there first thing in the morning. Let's be honest, first thing in the morning is not my friend so I decided to camp out to be there bright and early. The garage was quite hot, but the camping was nice and stealthy.

My friends and I built a tiny camper that can be pulled by an e-bike and I took it out camping. The total build weighs approximately 160 pounds and I pulled it with an off the shelf 250 watt bike. Many improvements to come but this was a first test camping trip for it.

I finally got back out to do a night of stealth camping in a very exposed spot. There was heavy traffic and very minimal cover, but I managed to camp underneath two trees for the night and remained hidden from view. It's still winter so it was a bit chilly, but sitting still really got me feeling cold. It was a fun trip nonetheless! Once I crawled into my sleeping bag it got quite warm and aside from the traffic noise and bumpy ground it was a great sleep! ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #hunkerdown #stealth #camping

Camped overnight at a beautiful free campground! To make camping life easier on the road I've set up my car to have a half bunk in the back with a small table (shoe organizing rack) to use as a desk and table to put my laptop on. I have a 100 amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery to provide me with enough power to run a coffee maker and lighting. My bed is leveled out with some pine boards and shims so I can sleep level. The whole camping setup can be removed in minutes to return the car to normal. ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #camping #hunkerdown #carcamping

Hi everyone, just popping in to touch base and keep you updated. I picked up what I'm guessing is the flu recently. Many of my friends and family have all had the same thing so it was just a matter of time unfortunately. I seem to have turned a corner but haven't been in any condition to camp this week, despite my best efforts. I hope you all have a great rest of your Sunday and I will keep you updated!

I was lucky enough to hear about this secret cabin from Way of the Roads, you can check out their Channel here: @wayoftheroads It took a total of 8 hours of driving, much of it on remote mountain logging roads, then a final hike out to the most remote secret cabin I've ever seen. It was a cozy night with a wood stove, waves crashing on the beach and some delicious food. ---------------------------------------------------------------- • Website: https://campingwithsteve.com • My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ---------------------------------------------------------------- #camping #hunkerdown #cabin

I brought out my small camo tent and snuck into the woods beside a small fire hall to camp for the night. It was an interesting #camping location with some excitement throughout the night.

I hit the road with my #camping gear and headed for the #mountains to meet up with @forestyforest and @AdventureTimeLoui We didn't do any crazy hikes together, because I know better than to try and keep up with him, but we did have a good meal and some great conversation by the fire.

I made a #camping DIY #leanto out of some extra construction insulation from my house renovations. There was a good R-value to the sheet of insulation, and I put a plastic sheet to cover the door.

I stealth camped behind a #McDonalds drive through last night! I have been looking for a camping spot like this for years.

For my return video I've found a bank of clothing donation bins that turned out to be the perfect place for a little #stealthcamping.

Some things have come up and I've been out of touch with all of you other than the odd social media post, so I've put together a quick #update on what's been going on. Thanks to all of you for being so understanding and supportive over the last few weeks. I am in Nova Scotia helping while my mom is in the hospital, and it's turned into a longer stay than anticipated. I got a health issue solved while I was out here so that's wonderful news.

I headed down an abandoned #rail line for some stealth camping. I hoped to find a nice little spot along the tracks and fortune was on my side. Perhaps a bit too stealthy of a #camping spot as I would say there was about a 0% chance of anyone finding me. Perhaps not a nail-biting night, but any night outdoors is always good. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Website: https://campingwithsteve.com My Amazon store: https://amzn.to/49li5Az Merch: https://crowdmade.com/collections/stevewallis ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gear: Camera: Sony Alpha FX3 https://amzn.to/3SIMQra Lens: Sony FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G https://amzn.to/3SL1rm7 Editing: Apple 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Final Cut Pro https://amzn.to/3YeuCiy ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve • TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@campingwithsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

This is the official launch of the new #merch store, there are some new designs some classic ones and they're doing a limited time *free shipping* promotion for me when you get 2 or more apparel items! Anyways, all that aside I went stealth camping in a small plot of trees behind a welcome sign. I've been trying to camp behind this sign for quite some time and finally, the timing and weather worked out for me!

The perfect camping opportunity presented itself with a U-Haul rental depot directly across from a campground! It just took a quick trip to Canadian Tire and a thrift store to get the van ready for camping and I was all set. It turned out to be a surprisingly appropriate vehicle to camp in for the night!

I found a great camping spot underneath a highway bridge. A beautiful river ran right beside the campsite and was the perfect place to hunker down and camp for the night.

I found a spot along the side of the highway that was perfect to pull the SUV in for a night of secret camping. I covered the car with hunter's camo cloth and it blended in wonderfully.

I have finally completed my lifelong dream. To camp in a blanket fort! It seems silly, but it actually worked out better than I thought. I went to a regular campground with other respectable campers and put together a blanket fort with rachet straps, clamps, and tent pegs.

I stealth camped at a commercial vehicle inspection station and weigh scale along the side of the highway. There was ample tree cover and plenty of spots to set up camp for the night.

Who says it's rude to put up a 50-foot wall of tarps around your campsite to keep your privacy?

Just a little rainy camping trip in the woods of a new neighborhood under construction. I used the hammock again on this trip because it was the best shelter for the situation.

Back to the classics! I finally found a great camping spot in a freeway interchange. This has been on my camping list for a while, but I needed to find the perfect stealthy interchange.

I picked up an electric bike conversion kit on amazon and slapped it on an old mountain bike with a trailer to try it out for stealth camping. There was a little rain, a few mishaps, but a bad day camping is better than a good day at work. Big potential for stealth camping transportation to get into the camping spots I can't access with a vehicle. The e-bike conversion kit is a Ebikeling model from amazon, I wouldn't recommend picking one up at this point due to my initial results. Hoping to work out the bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, technically a hamlet, it used to be a village, but perfect for stealth camping. I packed my hammock to a great camp spot behind a ball diamond. Little towns are an excellent opportunity for stealth camping, there aren't the crowds of the big city, but there is the possibility locals will be more vigilant regarding people they don't recognize.

We had enough traffic cones and caution tape to complete the illusion. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I did my first multi-night stealth camping trip, and it was strangely relaxing to not have to pack up after the first night. I used the propane Mr. buddy heater to keep warm and the hunting blind to blend into the woods as good as possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think I've shown a recent update regarding the framing or what's going on with contractors work out here. It's been an exhausting week but I've neglected to be here to direct the crews who have been patient with me so far haha.

Gear I use available on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/shop/stevewallis Camera gear I use - https://www.amazon.com/shop/stevewallis I finally picked up a hunting blind for stealth camping. I have been wanting to try one out for camping for quite a while, but they aren't very large compared with a tent. This one was a ZonZ hub ground blind. I brought the little buddy heater for warmth and burned through 3 propane cylinders. The night was cold, and by morning my feet were cold but it was still a great camping trip! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Gear I use available on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/shop/stevewallis Camera gear I use - https://www.amazon.com/shop/stevewallis For this week's camping trip we took a drive down to the Heart Creek Bunker near Canmore Alberta. This was a Cold War-era bunker built around 1969. It was built by a private company planning to store documents in case of a nuclear attack. It was never fully completed and remains not far off the Trans Canada Trail. It was a great place to camp for the night without needing to bring a shelter. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I finally got out ice fishing in my ice fishing shack. I have used this tent for so many winter camping trips, but never actually got around to using it for fishing. I don't have a ton of fishing experience, so this was a learning trip for me and crazy neighbor. It was very cold, but it sure was fun! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler, it's a clip show. Happy new years everyone! It's been quite the year and I put together a little video highlighting the highs and lows of the year.

This week's camping video did NOT go to plan. I found a really nice spot beside a trail, but I must have been too loud. This is what happens when stealth camping goes wrong. This is the best case, things could have been much worse. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a happy new year everyone! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I tried this out to see what would happen in a closed campground if I just wrapped a gazebo tent frame with bubble wrap for a camping shelter. It was an interesting night, with freezing temperatures, and strong winds. Things didn't go quite to plan, as usual... but I adapted and survived the adventure trying to camp in bubble wrap.

We did the first quick overnight camping of the winter season with the ice fishing tent, Mr. buddy heater, and some cots. There was severe freezing rain the day before so the snowshoes definitely made things much safer. I am hoping to get on the road next week to explore some severely interesting stealth camping spots.

Things finally fell into place and I found my dream stealth camping billboard. I've been searching for years and finally found the perfect one to camp behind. I made it back from the ill-fated trip to the coast, I only got half way there before the floods washed out all the highways connecting the interior to the coast. I will have to make another camping trip as soon as things are back to normal and roads are reopened. Red Cross B.C. Flood Relief Donations can be made here https://donate.redcross.ca/page/94172/donate/1?locale=en-CA

Hey everyone! Just hunkering down trying to figure out my next move due to catastrophic flooding in B.C. The original plan to head to the coast is looking pretty much impossible for the foreseeable future. I'm figuring out what my options are at this point and have at least one stealth trip I can do out here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I borrowed crazy neighbors Suburban to do urban stealth camping in the parking lot of the Courtyard Marriott Hotel. I blacked out the windows with landscaping fabric to camp for the night. I hunkered down after a quick parking lot picnic of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup! Was an absolute blast. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

We got the treehouse fixed up good enough for me to finish off camping for the week! While we were out at the acreage we rescued a quad that was abandoned on the trail and built a warming shelter for use during this cold cold winter. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

A quick little hello to everyone! I returned to the acreage to camp out in the treehouse and found the roof had caved in so it kind of threw me off a day here. I've got crazy neighbor out with me to help get it back in good shape and we are already filming a day late as this thing goes live. We brought "Garbage" the kitty home to the temporary apartment and it looks like we've found ourselves a cat. We have to get him to a vet and find a pet sitter, get the bus fixed (diesel leak) and then we can finally hit the road. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I managed to get out stealth camping this week in a reasonably priced body bag from Amazon. I chose to camp in a freeway interchange in the city. It was freezing cold when I woke up in the morning and the body bag did create a lot of condensation. Overall, I would not recommend camping in a body bag without some modifications for ventilation. It would work fantastic for carrying gear though! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I went stealth camping behind some new construction and of course, the best disguise I could think of was a construction worker. I loaded up my sleeping bag and gear in a wheelbarrow and headed out to camp for the night. Pretty successful night, just camped under the stars. Thankfully no rain this time! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Crazy Neighbor and I went sailing down the river for our annual float! We went a total of 75 km or 46 miles. We had no power on the boat this year and relied entirely on paddling and going with the flow of the current. The total cost of the boat was $130 CAD, or about $100 US.

New build! We frantically built this contraption to save the river trip for the year. We launch tomorrow. The main camping boat still doesn't have a drive wheel system fully planned out and built, so we went with a lighter option we could get out of the river easier when we get stuck. The trip should take 5 or 6 days and the video will be out next Thursday! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

After the unpleasantness of the last camping trip, I decided to test out an emergency survival tent to see if it would be a good addition to my gear. I just set up in a normal campground (probably to the dismay of the respectable campers). Of course, a storm rolled in right on time, haha, but it told me what I needed to know about camping in these emergency tents. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Things didn't quite go to plan on this trip, the weather forecast was severely off! I planned a nice relaxing simple stealth camping trip in the city. The forecast for my camping night called for just a few sprinkles and then a quiet but cold night. The skies opened up at about 10 and the hail and thunder began. The night was an adventure, I got soaked, but it was a blast. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

With the expert help of Crazy Neighbor I taped together some tarps and ratchet straps and made some form of Frankenstein wall tent, and went camping! The project actually turned out far better than I had originally thought. We had one of my standby camping meals of onion burgers. Some rain fell through the evening and overnight, but not too much to dampen our spirits. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I finally found my dream police station to camp behind. That was a strange sentence. When we traveled through after buying the school bus beautiful wife noticed a fantastic spot behind the police station. I gathered up my courage and my camping gear and headed into the woods there for a great stealth camping adventure in small-town Alberta. I used the Hennessy hammock (zip asymmetrical) for this video along with a basic Teton backpack and sleeping bag. Please consider subscribing, and thanks to everyone who is following along on these crazy shenanigans.

Go round and round. Just touching base with everyone, I haven't got out to get my camping done this week yet, probably camping tonight or tomorrow for a late release (Found an awesome stealth spot). I don't want to leave anyone hanging on Thursday, so I'm just saying hi and showing you what we were up to. We have drive wheels almost half installed on the boat which we need this year because the water levels will get so low we will get stuck. This way we can power ourselves off the low spots and keep sailing. Stay tuned for the regular video do drop within the next couple days. Oh great, I just realized I think I locked the keys in my car. Gotta go check on that.

I found a beautiful camping spot in a thin strip of trees between a warehouse and a rail line. This week I camped with my hammock because the trees were spaced perfectly and there was lots of open room. The warehouse was mostly vacant and for lease so there was very little traffic in the area. I whipped up some pulled pork sandwiches for dinner and hunkered down for a very cozy, albeit noisy sleep. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I got my grubby hands on a camo bivy tent and took it out camping for a test drive. This will be a highly useful tent for stealth camping when there aren't enough trees around to tie up to. The camping trip went fairly well, aside from the food which was an adventure of its own.

Testing out how well an air conditioner will work during the summer in an ice fishing shelter. I just used a portable air conditioner from home, not the most efficient model due to the one hose design. This would work much better with a window unit rigged up somehow or a two-hose air conditioner. I was concerned about how much heat the shelter would hold as the sides are quite dark in color. I camped with all the trappings of luxury this week and it was a great success. Just a normal campground with a power site, but this told me what I needed to know. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I threw together a quick disguise from the thrift store and went out camping behind some houses on a residential trail. I brought the hammock with me for a shelter this trip and used a fairly small kit.

I finally got to camp in a spot I've been checking out for quite a while. It's an abandoned campground in the city of Edmonton Alberta. This was a city-owned campground and now it's just used as a park. It was quite hot, quite busy, but made for a very fun stealth camping trip. There was a heat warning of course, but not quite too hot for camping like last week. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, sadly I couldn't get stealth camping this week, I know. I made a good effort, but I couldn't do it in this heatwave. We are finally getting the bus repaired after being stuck for 2 weeks. Word of caution to those who are looking for a school bus to use as a camper... there are not many shops that will work on them. Please stay tuned and we will be back to the regular groove as soon as possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Historic heat wave delayed my stealth camping! Well, it doesn't really get dark in Indian Cabins on June 21/22, which I felt was the perfect place to go camping and test out our solar panels. The bugs were ferocious, the weather was hot, but it was a blast. We will definitely return most likely in the fall for some insect-free camping. I picked up some flexible solar panels from amazon and they are doing a fine job. I had them hooked up in series, but the charge controller didn't like the voltage that high, so I'll have to rewire them in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, we got the school bus set up fairly decently and headed out to the woods down some back roads for some camping. We saw some bear evidence, and plenty of rams. It was an adventure, we just filmed what we saw and didn't really have a plan for the video. Cheers everyone!

I found an amazing spot to do a little stealth camping for the night behind a Home Depot! I brought out the hammock of course, but there were no proper trees to hang it. I used the hammock and camped directly on the ground as a bivvy sack to keep the bugs away and it worked fairly well. The MRE didn't work out too well because of an expired ration heater, but I did find some food in the area. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I finally got to meet up with Foresty Forest! We went for a death-defying hike on the side of a cliff to try and find a waterfall.. which we could have actually driven to (we discovered that later).

Well, not too crazy of a video for this week, we had a mouse invade our bus and we had to set up some traps and take a hotel break for a couple days. Fortunately, I noticed a trail heading right from the hotel to tracks with some ample room to camp! I went down to watch some trains for a bit then grabbed some pizza from town. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

We rigged up a bunch of stuff to make the bus look nice and semi-functional for a camping trip. We installed a generator, hitch receivers front and rear, wired up for a winch, new tires, a memory foam mattress, bar fridge from the house, air conditioner... well you get the idea. This video was filmed at Minnow Lake Recreation Site in Alberta Canada. The mosquitos were bad, but it's a great campground for our needs. This school bus is going to be great for camping, but this is not exactly a professional or permanent setup for now.

I found a stellar place to camp at an abandoned oil well! This well is on county land so there isn't any trespassing involved. In Alberta, there are thousands of these orphaned or abandoned wells facing a huge cleanup problem. I believe there is a case to be made for turning these into campgrounds, as many of them are on public land, and there are roads and power leading to them already. This may be a bad idea, but I figured I'd throw the concept out there and see what happens. If anyone is curious about the tent it's a Cabela's Tent Cot, they are heavy, fairly expensive for what they are, but wow are they convenient! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I finally got out on the bicycle to do the bicycle stealth camping trip. There were a few hiccups trying to get this thing filmed, but it worked out! I set up the hammock and camped along a lesser-traveled backroad. On this trip, I used a MEC National Road Bike, Hennessy Zip Asymmetrical Hammock, and Thermacell Backpacking Version ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, camping isn't quite the same without a fire, it is doable, however. There's nothing better than the crackle of the fire and the smell of wood smoke. It's arguably the second-best thing about camping. Lately, fire bans have been very common during the camping season and really make for some cold miserable nights. Worry no more! with a portable propane firepit, you can still stay warm and, even cook during the fire bans. It's not quite the same of course, but it beats sitting at home. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the first camping adventure of our yet-to-be-named school bus camper. We have many adventures planned, and it's going to get less and less stealthy every week, but I just had to get a stealth camp done. I parked right beside a school bus lot to try and blend in as well as possible. The bus is a beautiful gently used 2008 International BE200. Many more camping adventures to come with this beauty. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Crazy Neighbor and I backed up 2 vehicles for camping and hung a tarp between them held on with magnets, well.. haha of course. That's what we do around here. First reasonable weather camping trip of the year, that was a fantastic change from the last few months. The tarp we used was a 20' x 40' and it pretty much covered both vehicles completely, a 20x30 would probably do quite well for the application, however, it was nice to have the windows blocked out. NOT very stealthy, but certainly good camping. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I picked up tent cot from Cabela's for a future project and decided I needed to test it out right away with a good old-fashioned yard camp! I don't have an affiliate link for this, but it can be found at Cabela's. Of course, the snow started to fall and the tent held up well, a very comfortable camping trip overall, but the tent would be a bit small if you had to sit in it on a rainy day. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

DO NOT ATTEMPT unless you are sure about trespassing laws where you are! In this video, I was NOT breaking my local trespass laws, but this may not be the case in your area. I found an abandoned gas station on our adventure, and it sure fits the bill for a stealth camping adventure. Of course I had to make sure the property didn't have any "No Trespassing" signs, because that would of course stop me from entering. It was an exciting night, really cool to see abandoned places first hand. A storm rolled through in the middle of the night and that made it an interesting ride back to the hotel. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Secret (well, not so secret now) channel = @SteveWallisStep2 Website = http://www.campingwithsteve.com Well, here we are again. I found a great stealth camping spot with questionable legality. It was a Ducks Unlimited easement shelter for bird watching on a lonely country road. There were no signs prohibiting camping, so I figured I should camp there!

This week I went camping in a beautiful garbage sculpture in Lethbridge Alberta known as The Thing, Rust Rock Cathedral, or simply Garbage Castle.

Well, the title is pretty self-explanatory haha. I set up a couple tents like Russian nesting dolls in some moderately cold weather.

I did the last camping video in the old ice fishing tent. It's showing it's age and I'm putting it out to pasture. It will have use as a fixed shelter/storage tent at the acreage from here on. The old tent is the Rapala Asylum 4, which was a clearance tent at the time I got it. I ended up using the tent for about 6 years, including for 8 weeks of gasfitting training out of town. For the price, and ease of setup, it was an ideal winter camping solution. There has been a recent upgrade to the Otter Vortex tent, which will be featured in future videos. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Beautiful wife has gotten me an insulated ice fishing tent for an early Christmas present! We tested it out camping on WAY too windy of a day, and nothing really went as planned. If anyone is curious this tent is an Otter Vortex, and we got it from Cabela's. I will do a more complete review of the tent in the upcoming videos.

http://www.campingwithsteve.com Happy Thanksgiving all my U.S. friends! I finally got out of the city and drove up a mountain to do some winter weather car camping. A tarp over the tailgate of the SUV was all I needed to form a really nice shelter for the night. It was one of the most comfortable camping situations I've done to date. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.campingwithsteve.com I got out to do a little bit of car camping during a heavy snowfall warning, it really took me back to the times I lived in a vehicle.

http://www.campingwithsteve.com Well, I did a short video of camping out under what turned out to be a very noisy bridge. Cooked a little steak, you know, the usual. I brought some inexpensive gear with me, purchased (of course) at Canadian Tire. A cot, backpacking sleeping bag, small folding stool. Nothing fancy for gear, very similar things are available on amazon but the "Woods" brand I use I've only been able to find in stores in Canada. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Happy Halloween! Sorry for the recent delays in videos, but I am back up doing great! After many requests over the years, I've taken the hammock camping behind a cemetery.

http://www.campingwithsteve.com Crazy Neighbor and I found an AMAZING place to stealth camp for the night. The cook shack in group areas at local campgrounds make a fantastic shelter for a quick overnighter. No tent required, instant shelter, and provided we are sneaky enough no one will be the wiser.

There was no view from the highway eastbound lanes and very minimal exposure on the westbound lanes. Basic backpack and general gear. I had a hammock, to use as a bivvy in case of rain, but the weather was pretty good.

http://www.campingwithsteve.com Due to blowing the differential in our SUV, and all the car rental companies sold out... we had to take the trusty 1997 Toyota out on a several thousand mile road trip. The only failure so far is the air conditioning. I brought beautiful wife with me for this adventure, and we are celebrating our third anniversary on this trip!

We had some surprise guests show up just before I began filming a camping trip, so we are slightly delayed for this week's camping Thursday, however, I figured I would post a bit of the struggle to get rid of these pesky guys.

We have got a crew working on sealing it up right now but we got started a day after all the insects showed up sadly.

An insane week since the last live stream, we are moving in 2 weeks! We picked up an acreage with a home that needs some work and we're going to be going off-grid eventually. I'm still going to keep up the urban stealth camping as we will be in town once a week or so and I'll have to keep myself busy somehow :) There is going to be a good opportunity for man videos on the land, lots of shelters to be built, and there's some public land on a few sides of the property so everything's gonna be alllllllright.

This video is for entertainment only and not an instructional video, if you are considering using propane appliances, please do research on how to do so safely. The Mr. Buddy heater is approved for indoor use in the US, but not in Canada. There is a low-oxygen shut-off, but it still requires ventilation. Always bring a carbon monoxide alarm and a fire extinguisher! (End of disclaimer haha) This week it got down to -35 Degrees Celsius (-31 F), so of course, I had to go out and see if I could do stealth camping in a rented U-Haul van. Things went as smoothly as could be expected for a van with no insulation in it. I did bring my Big Buddy propane heater to take the edge off, but it was still quite an adventure.

Crazy neighbour and I set out on the homemade camping pontoon boat for a couple days up river and back down again to where we launched from. Built it out of 8 55 gallon rain drums, plywood and lumber. We have a removable tent set up so we can camp right on the boat! Nice little heater and a place to cook meals. Was a great adventure with lots of hunkering down. For any questions about why we're not fishing, the river isn't recommended for fish consumption due to natural mercury content.

Great little camping spot on crown land. Here in Canada we are allowed to camp for free up to 21 days in the same spot, after that you have to move your camp at least 100 meters away. The biggest challenge is finding crown land to camp on, and finding access to the crown land. Often there is private property blocking access to the public land so it can be a challenge. I brought my wife with me and we had a blast!

We've got structural completion accomplished on the camping platform raft and tested out on the lake. All legal, and this should provide some loop-hole camping possibilities within the city! I'll be filming some more conventional camping coming up this week and hope you guys will stay tuned for the next adventures coming up. THANKS! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys, just thought I'd put up a quick video to let you know I'm alive, and to get some input for a new project I'm working on with crazy neighbor. We're going to be doing some fall camping on the river and hopefully, the raft performs as intended. Thanks to all the subscribers old and new! You guys are amazing. Cheers, Hunker Down

Well, here we are again with another stealth camping video. A lot of new subscribers since the last video had asked for a bit more stealth camping. I got a $100 inflatable kayak from Walmart and put it to the test in the river. I found a good spot only accessible via the river! More to come in the future. I tried some freeze-dried meals... it did NOT go well. Hunkered down for the night, and woke up ready for more paddling. For anyone interested in the main gear featured in this video I don't have any links as I got them a while ago, but I can give the product names and descriptions: Hammock - Hennessy Asymmetrical Expedition Bottom Velcro entry hammock. I picked it up a few years ago at a camping store in Calgary. Kayak - It's called a Z-Ray St. Crioux, I got it at Walmart for $137 Canadian. Cook set - Cheap-o Walmart Coleman set. I don't recommend. Power station - Jackery Explorer 500, available on amazon. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

I secretly set up camp in a forested area, trying to remain as silent and undetected as possible due to the legal nature of random camping in the city. I finally tried out my cheap solid fuel stove and it worked very well. Made dinner, had some pretty good beer appropriately called "Happy Camper". I decided I should have a small fire as the night continued. Just me on my usual camping adventures :) Hunker down my friends. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Took a quad trip up Canoe Mountain outside Valemount BC. Got to a height of 8700 feet, surrounded by glaciers and alpine tundra. Took about 5 hours return trip from where we unloaded. Antenna and communication shacks were on the top of the mountain. Amazing views from the top, but of course I'm scared of heights so that part wasn't too fun. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys, The folks at Jackery sent me a pretty good lithium-ion power station to review, and they actually delivered pretty well on the specs and promises. I hiked up a mountain with a slow cooker and a hairdryer to test out the power of this power station.

Well, this video took a whole. Lots of work and no time for camping so I thought I would try this out. I got the idea in BC on our camping honeymoon and was going to build it out there, but I’m glad I didn’t... it took a bit longer than I thought. Anyways, I had most of the materials on hand so it didn’t cost me too much. Good results with almost twice the ice holding power vs a regular cooler.

My review of a 7.2 amp Noco Genius wicked smart charger. Overall a good buy, works as advertised. The DE sulphation feature will not do much if the battery is too far gone, this is more of a maintenance feature to keep ontop of sulphation.

Sunforce made 7.5 watt folding solar charger review, pretty new on the market and the best solar phone or usb charging device I've found for backpacking. Not just 5 volt usb output, there's also a 12 volt accessory output. It's only available from Princess Auto in Canada so far, but this looks like it will end up at Canadian Tire, Walmarts, or anywhere with a Coleman section in their camping department. Ultra light, less than a pound, folds up and is weather proof. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, if you're following my ghetto recipes you will love this pub favourite. Beer battered halibut (or whatever type of fish you choose). Team this up with the chips and tartar sauce (Highly recommend the tartar sauce) and you are ready for a hell of a meal. Delicious, make your own beer battered halibut. It's cheaper than the restaurant, but I usually like making my own fish and chips to eat at 1 am when all the restaurants are closed instead of saving money. Hey, it works out very well either way! Use haddock, halibut, cod, pollock, anything! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Twice fried for tender inside and crunchy outside. These fries are the type you would get with a pub style beer battered fish!

Well well well, I drove up to the old gates to get to the gold claims at Leechtown, and low and behold it was open. I drove down it for a bit towards my claim, but then turned back because I was scared of getting locked in. Until I get my Timber West and CRD gate keys, it looks like I'll be biking out to the gold claim. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, finally made the trip down to fishermans wharf and tried Barbs fish and chips. Not too bad, lots of hype, but I found the fish quite nice.

Saw a couple deer sleeping across the road and went to investigate. Got pretty close to one before it ran off. They looked to be quite young. There are plenty of deer around Sooke, usually out at night eating grass from peoples yards, but this is the first time I caught them across the road! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Travelling through Mount Robson park from Jasper Alberta to Valemount BC. Turned on the time lapse on the galaxy nexus and it worked perfectly.

Total devastation driving through Jasper National Park this February. The mountain pine beetle has really started to do some serious damage here. The whole park could look like this in a few years unless we get a good cold winter or two to take down their numbers a bit. Much of northern Alberta has been infested, I was in Peace River recently, and what used to be a beautiful campground looks like a trailer park now. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Running the blue bowl to concentrate down our sluiced gravel. Nice little prospecting spot that has panned out so to speak.

We were out on a prospecting adventure on a rainy February day and decided to call it a day because of the rain. Before we left we took a pail of gravel from the stream to check out at home when we had time. This is us running some test material in the driveway, and making our neighbours mad :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

How to make an accurate tasting deep dish Pizza Hut style pan pizza. The recipe is available online doing a Google search and worked quite well. The only part I forgot in this pizza was adding salt to the dough. This can be done to taste, half a teaspoon is about all you need. You can add more yeast for a quicker rise depending on the time you have. Follow these steps for a Pizza Hut pizza made right in your oven, that actually tastes like it came from Pizza Hut! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------

Prospecting for gold, on the North Saskatchewan River near Edmonton! Edmonton has a rich history of gold mining, used to be a time when a man could do an ounce of gold or more in a day. Gold was worth far less in those days, but today that would be a healthy amount. The fine gold in the river is known as flour gold, or float gold, and gets slowly replenished in the river every year. I am using a LeTrap highbanker with a 2" pump from Walmart (Cheap Hyundai pump, same as the ones at Princess Auto) Many claim to be able to recover an ounce of gold a week on the river around Edmonton, and northern Alberta. All major rivers in Alberta carry some amount of gold. Peace River, Athabasca, Smokey, and Red Rivers for sure. The gold can even be traced as far as Saskatchewan and to the Manitoba border in diminishing quantities. With a boat it is possible to access the less worked parts of the rivers, and work the paying gravel bars that few can get to. I have test panned down the river for a whole summer and only came across one other prospector! Lots of river for all. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Socials: • Facebook: https://facebook.com/campingwithsteve • Instagram: https://instagram.com/campingsteve • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hunkerdownsteve ----------------------------------------------------------------
