Wow it looks so beautiful inside! Can't wait for the full tour!
In you former neighborhood everyone is complaining that it is way too hot at 91 degrees
I like the shot of Emerson operating the drill press I like all of the shots of Emerson but I prefer the ones where he doesn't acknowledge the camera.
Hey Brett, I’ve sure enjoyed watching you guys renovate Kismet! Looking forward to seeing you guys get out on the road and turning your TBD destination into reality! Best, JB
So great, you guys are talented! I laughed when Brett showed the two drawers of the exact same tools haha. I work in a facilities department, and it's so true on having multiple drawers of the same tools
Brett have you considered that your father doesn't want you using his tools, so he keeps a separate drawer of like same tools just for visitors?
So satisfying to watch. 🤙
Sweet Family! Keep the updates coming - you are in our thoughts and wishing you smooth roads ahead!
Thank you! In AZ now working on the last of the renovation items!
YES!! We want to see more renovation videos!! Especially before and after.
Definitely looking forward to the renovation videos. Keep them coming!
Will do, about to start editing another one now. Thank you for the continued support!
Each one of your minor disasters makes for opportunities for more content. Your misery is our entertainment. Thanks!
Haha LOL, you're absolutely right. Well prepare to be entertained because we're going to drive all over this dang country and I'm sure chaos will ensue haha.
Nice!
Powder Mountain representing 🤙
Props for the gantt chart ❤
Nice work 👍
It's sad the way rv manufacturers made and still make rvs. Some have gone carpet-less, but the majority still have carpet and crappie materials. Nice video though.
Your son is an excellent handyman assistant!
Nice video!
Thanks for bringing us along. Congratulations on your rv acquisition. Look forward to your future videos.
Very ambitious projects! I like it
Great start.
Maybe if I bring more bread I could get an obligatory shout out with customary dinner slots😂. Starting to take finishing shape. Getting exciting.
LOL at the Powder reference. I loved that movie.
👏🏼🙌🏼✌🏼 Godspeed
I could have scanned and modeled it for you! Co worker perks!
Haha, yeah i didn't think about that actually, that would have been faster for sure :)
Nice work Mr. Brett!
Thanks! Coming along:)
I'll miss seeing and working with you. I still wear a piece of you on special occasions!
Some of the most profound growth in my life has come from taking leaps of faith. Leaving comfortable incomes, a beautiful home, and taking my treasured family through a risky “ride” was scary at the time I first met you. My wife and I look back 9 years ago when we left our lifetime home for adventure and we wouldn’t change a thing. The journey, and not necessarily the destination, is the beautiful struggle. Learning to not let income define you. Learning that your identity is not defined by your job. man I’m so excited for you and your Family buddy. Always here if you need to talk
Thank you, Tony, for the supportive and encouraging words! I hope your adventure is still going great and that you and the family are all loving life!
All the very best to your family! You all are incredible people and I’m super confident you’ll create your own happiness in this next adventure. We’ll be following along!
Thank you guys. Literally could not be doing this without your generosity, support, kindness, grace, and flexibility. We are so fortunate to have had this last chapter here at this perfect home. See you on the road!
You two are braver than most. Good for you. Your explanation about overcoming the fear of financial insecurity is very relatable. I feel my wife and I have come to realize over the past few years that squandering our one life and the 18 years we have with our kids is a much greater fear than financial insecurity. Can't wait to follow along.
Thank you, Tim, appreciate the kind words and support. My cell phone is the same so let's keep in touch. All the best to you and your family!
Now this is awesome news! I've been following along and telling my parents (motorhome enthusiasts) about what your family's up to, and you guys are about to live out one of their dreams. We still watch their cat twice a month as they travel to Yosemite or Sequoia and places like that haha. If either of you have any motorhome troubleshooting issues or advice, feel free to reach out and I'll see if my parents can give any incite. I remember when Blake and I came over to Lake Arrowhead to meet-up and meet Emerson for the first time, and we were all talking in the kitchen at your parent's house, Brett. I remember Megan talking about you two having a dream place to settle in, but still haven't found the perfect spot yet. I totally resonate with that, and it's super cool to see that you both have this vision together. So great, can't wait to see more!
Thank you for the support, Nathan! Hope you're doing great brother.I'll keep that in mind and if we end up near you on the road I'll drop you a line! Cheers,
As soon as I saw the parking lot I knew exactly where you were. I have done that trail dozens of times over the years, it is definitely one of my favorite hikes as well.
Yeah we love that hike because it's completely different depending on what time of year you go. Thanks for supporting our channel, happy hiking!
I lol'd at the crusader part!
Are you going to be adding any solar panels?
YES! About to buy them actually. We're planning to put 400w of panels on the roof, a new 2000w inverter, charge controller, etc. A bunch of re-wiring as well, stay tuned! New 300Ah Lithium batter bank as well!
@@kismetcrew rad. Do you see yourselves doing any extended off the grid kind of camping or is more of a Travels With Charley kind of adventure?
Yeah we've got big plans of all kinds, will fill you in more soon. We want the rig to be off-grid capable as much as possible, currently limited by funding at this point but we'll have made a good dent in it. We ditched the big fridge to a much more efficient chest cooler, swapped out all of the lighting to LED, and the new solar setup will be great. We'd like to get rid of the generator and be 100% solar but we can't afford to do that right now.
Brett even looks stylish when removing poop pipes
Gotta keep the viewers (Kismettens) happy ;)
I want to know more about the decision for a composting toilet vs. black tank! Less weight? More eco-friendly? Easier to manage? Great video 😊
Yes, good call! There were a couple of reasons we chose to go with the composting toilet over the standard. First and foremost, we really wanted to be rid of the (used) black tank! The idea of needing to find somewhere to regularly empty that, and otherwise carrying it around with us was not something we were too interested in, either. With the composting toilet, you can dispose of waste anywhere you would dispose of a used diaper or dog poo bag. It just felt so much cleaner and tidier, and something we could dispose of more often. We'll also never have any toilet issues within the RV, because it's all contained within the unit. I know many people don't want to deal with sprinkling the wood chips and emptying often, but that sounded so much better than the black tank to us :) I guess we'll see once we're on the road and actually start to use it! Again, thanks for calling this out and asking the question - we're trying to get better about going more in-depth about these things in the videos!
Great video! Love seeing the progress on the motor home! Have you guys been thinking about where to go first once it's trip-worthy?
Thank you! We actually haven't really started to plan or think about our destinations, just been focusing on getting this thing built and ready first so we can actually get on the road, haha.
Looking forward to seeing the adventure unfold!
Thanks! I'll let you know when we're planning to be in your neck of the woods and maybe we can meet up!
