McDonalds Drive-Thru Stealth Camping

I stealth camped behind a #McDonalds drive through last night! I have been looking for a camping spot like this for years. I wanted to do a drive-thru but for some reason (probably safety) they seem to always be clear around with no hiding spots. After years of searching and looking at every Google satellite view, I could find I found my dream McDonalds #camping spot.

8:08 "There's a really creepy guy sitting in the parking lot, in his car" as Steve sits in the woods watching him 😂

If you ever get that uneasy feeling somebodies watching you, and you look back and nothing is there. Just remember, it’s probably just Steve stealth camping. ❤

[muminsum]

Alright I’ll watch this guy camp in a McDonald’s parking lot and then I’m going to bed

Steve acting as if he has committed a felony by cracking open a step 2 that literally nobody can hear him opening is always comedy to me. Love you Steve

If there's one thing I learned from Steve is to be happy with the little things in life. Can't see the little stealth camp from street? Happiness. Cook a nice meal out in the open? Happiness. Get a ride to a camping spot and getting picked up after? Happiness. Light rain only? Happiness. As Steve would say: Doesn't get better than this!
Love it.

I recently drove from Florida to Greenville, South Carolina to visit a friend. While sitting around the fire with her 60 yro neighbor I'd never met, the subject of favorite YouTube channels came up. Camping with Steve was a common thread - we all love it. Steve's appeal is universal.

The joy on Steve’s face when it’s confirmed the spot is great was incredible ❤

[hikesystem]

He has such a nice voice. I could imagined him hosting a ( very) late night radio talk show where people call in and talk about camping, adventures, nature, life etc...with breaks of calming music.

I love how he was talking about some creepy guy sitting in his car while he was sitting in the woods with a camera watching a McDonald’s drive thru. 😂. I love Steve’s videos!

[SilentKnightTime]

He's back and stealthier than ever! Also good spot to grab your morning coffee

[Ashanmaril]

I love Steve watching the guy who's hanging out in his car for too long, thinking to himself "what kind of weirdo spends his entire night outside of a McDonald's?"

Owner of New Ontario Brewing here. Big thanks for trying out our beer man. Been a fan for a long time. Glad you liked our Blonde!

There is comfort food, and there are comfort YouTubers. The great thing about Steve is that he provides us with both. Thanks for everything Steve.

I’m waiting on the day Steve gets ready to camp and someone starts yelling “ITS CAMPING WITH STEVE!!” And his cover is blown.🥴😂

I think your concern at the end is unwarranted, whether your videos are late, or your videos are "boring" (they're never boring), or even if they're just videos of you silently reading, we'd still be here waiting to watch and share in the adventures with you. You're the big grown-up kid we all want to be, just out there enjoying the simple things and creating an infectious environment of kindness and connection in your comments section / community following. Your videos have gotten me through some really dark times in my life, so I'm grateful even just to see you at all.

Keep on Camping, so we can be With Steve!

Hey Steve, A clock in the top corner or something would be interesting and help with the immersion into your stealth world. Knowing the time would help us to expect the traffic at dinner time etc.

[jacobsims]

McDonald's worker: "What are you doing in the woods behind mcdonalds?"
Steve: "I'm lovin it." 😂😂

[MiMisTreasures]

Steve, what you don’t know is that creepy guy in the car was trying to stealth camp in a McDonalds parking lot and some creepy guy cooking Big Mac tacos in the woods wouldn’t go away 😂

This is exactly what I thought of the first time I heard the term "stealth camping." In bushes, near people, checks all the boxes for me. I always like your videos though, Steve. Even the cheese disaster from last time.

Your videos are like hanging out with a buddy now. You say we put up with you... but Steve, honestly man, you are sanity in a crazy world for a lot of us.
You're genuine, real, and kind, and we love you for it.
:) Thank you, man.

imagine working at Mcd's and seeing some dude sneaking around in the trees all night recording you
