Steve Wallis

When recalling this period of his life, he explained that the arrangement (which he referred to as "boondocking") was out of necessity and not choice.

Upon first becoming acquainted with YouTube, he assumed that the platform was a forum for posting viral joke videos.

After posting a video of himself camping in -32°C weather, and seeing the enthusiastic response it garnered in the comments section, he decided to focus on creating more of this type of content.

[2] He also enjoys drinking a beer after he has set up camp, which he refers to as "step two" of his process.

As of July 2020, Wallis posted weekly videos on Thursdays with 15-25 minute videos of "setting up camp, getting the fire ready, preparing [his] meal, going to bed, waking up, breaking down camp, and heading out".
