Early life

Steve Wallis was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. For a period of time as a young man, he lived in an RV in Victoria. 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. [2]

Career

Wallis is the proprietor of a heating company. 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] Since its creation on 19 April 2010, his YouTube channel has focused on non-traditional styles of camping, such as "boondocking", "urban stealth", gold mining, "bushcraft", and yard camping. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Many of his projects are centered on "taking back camping for the people" and see him camping in parking lots, starting fires with hand sanitizer, and avoiding expensive camping equipment. [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". [9] He is a resident of Alberta. [2]
