I went back to visit family for the holidays and decided to take the train. It has been on my bucket list for a while and I found a great deal. We took the VIA Rail train departing from Vancouver and arriving outside of Edmonton.

  • Oh, I forgot to explain the black eye haha. For those that haven’t seen on Facebook or Instagram I slipped on the ice and smashed my head pretty bad. Wish it was a better story, but it’s all healed up now. I'm overdue for some stealth camping so I've got one planned next if all goes well. Cheers!
  • I'm enjoying these "not quite camping" episodes. They show us all things about Canada we're not real familiar with and it's most appreciated.
  • @livingyugen
    I started my full-time adventures after losing my 35yo husband and "you may never get the chance" was one of the big reasons I started traveling full-time. 😔 I hope you are finding the beautiful peace you deserve! ❤️
  • This proves it wasn't the camping that keeps bringing me back, it is simply sharing in your adventures. I've never been on a train, this was such an interesting experience.
  • 3:11 "I'm no longer putting things over for some day, in the future. I'm taking care of things now..." This is very well said and hit particularly close. I'm happy to see you getting out and doing some living Steve.
  • Steve, I ran into you in Jasper as you were on your way to Vancouver. Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to talk and being the same guy I have watched online as you are in person. My wife made fun of me for days.... lol I guess it showed on my face how excited I was. You are an amazing person, thank you for all you do to entertain all of us.

    With my 'rail geek' hat on, a bit of info for you about the red lights - a railway signal will turn to red as soon as the lead cab and driver pass it, so it'd be green (or yellow) for them when it's passed, but red by the time you, as a passenger, pass it. Love the video - a long-distance rail trip across Canada on the sleepers is also on my bucket list, despite living in the UK! And this has just furthered my desire to do it!
  • "Sky view windows...that's cute and everything, but let's go find the bar" Love it Steve 😂
  • @PhoBoStuDios
    Hey Steve, love the videos! Former railroader here; the lights change to red once the lead of the train go through, which is why it appears you're running red lights from further back in the train. Looks like a fun journey, definitely a bucket list item!! Cheers!

    Everyone handles their grief differently. It warms my heart to see your follow through on you and your wife's plans. I'm sure she's looking at you go and proud of you enjoying your life. Happy trails partner!
  • @rue6368
    The fact that this man is doing things on his wife and his own bucket list is admirable. You love to see it.
  • @aynako1538
    At this point, I think Steve could do a video on cleaning his house and I would watch it uninterrupted. That friendly, engaging demeanor is why we keep coming back...and seeing him smile again, knowing the grief he's had to carry these last few months, is like the icing on top!
  • Weekly reminder that we love you Steve! So happy that crazy neighbor has been keeping you company!
  • @Bishyc04
    Steve you’re a crazy strong man. Watching this again 9months after the post. You’re the best dude
  • @auntbetty92
    I was not prepared for when you mentioned this was on yours and beautiful wifes' bucket list and im a fully grown man crying. Im so proud of you Steve, I would love to know someone like you in person, an amazing guy!
  • Steve I really appreciate what you said about living in the moment. It really impacted me in a positive way and I intend to carry that energy into 2023.
  • @Chris_IsBoard
    I like how he's going through the train cars like he's in a horror movie, talking about how salmon and vegetarian stuff is too weird for him.
  • @mrg4375
    You are hands down one of the coolest campers (albeit, unconventional, lol) I subscribe to. I never leave likes or comments, but I want you to know that I'm a US veteran that has been diagnosed with PTSD years ago and camping and the wilderness is what helped me stay sane. Channels like yours inspire me to remain vigilant and enjoy this beautiful world. Please keep on trucking with your crazy content, you're a very inspiring guy, through your years posting.this. Thank you, truly.
  • I love that the engineer agreed to just stop in the middle of nowhere to let them off--only Steve & Crazy Neighbor could get them to agree to do that! And welcome on camera to Crazy Neighbor's "lady friend"! Hope we'll be seeing more of her on some journeys too!
