"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉ugh so much 😫
Have you increased your caffeine intake? I've heard of talking a mile a minute but you were hitting about 16 kilometers a minute at a few points. Anywho felt like being a bit ornery and can't wait to see the upcoming addition to the original cabin vids.
I enjoyed this vid.
Tailgate works, proceeds to 'fix' it anyways. Tail gate doesn't close now lol. Men are always fixing things that aren't broke.
It needs an exterior canopy. You can cook outside on the tailgate with a mini gas grill. Extra water storage in the granny space with a hose that goes to the outside for showering. Set up the solar panels on the roof so you can get a continuous charge on the battery pack. Put some plastic totes under the bed for more storage. You are going to want some ventilation for the heat and a heater for the cold months.
I have a lot of things i should be doing today, but i was like, "Hey, i need to watch Kevin build a truck camper, which i will never do myself." Then I'll probably have a nap, because watching you work so hard makes me tired. Sounds like a plan.
I don’t think I have ever seen a zero dollar build, way to go.
This is why we still need art, shop, etc
I agree!
X 10!
Ditto
Great little camper, good job. Only one thing. I'd put clothes storage up top because it's lighter and I'd put the heavier stuff below. Lesson learnt from a seasoned camper
I travel in what's known as a Cowboy Style camper, designed years ago in TX from guys n gals at rodeos who needed simple accommodations. You sir, have created a Fab rendition ❤! Very similar to mine ❤ LOVE IT!
Agreed, I have a Capri Cowboy.
A basically free camper does not suck. Nice build, Kevin!
I always love seeing your projects, you are such an inspiration! The only thing I would add is a roof vent fan for air circulation. Keep in building.
I'm thinking actual Air Conditioning...
@@ModernSelfReliance AC is VERY important...
Do appreciate the genuine challenges that are part of any project. Lots of fun.
I think my favourite project of yours, maybe I'm impartial because I grew up with a Dodge Caravan (from about the same era as the one you used, maybe half a decade earlier) that we did long road trips in, and it felt very roomy
but I really liked the '03 dodge caravan with wood stove project
I'm sure for most people they'd probably prefer this build, as it has more modern convenience with the portable power station, all the cooking equipment and the interior and exterior (with the custom built giant wooden cable wheels siding) is probably considered more stylish
hopefully this video gets good views, and good referrals
Love your idea with the camper on the back of the truck come in so useful for you and your family just to get away. Always enjoy your channel Kevin take care nice seeing your daughter Lena.
Kevin, you never cease to amaze. Particularly how you managed to build this for next to NOTHING. Down here in the lower 48, we are less than 5% of the entire world’s population, yet annually we consume over 40% of the world’s resources. I’m note sure what the stats are for Canada, but I would think it would be harder to find such resources because Canadians are more environmentally conscious. But you really are an inspiration. Just driving to work this evening my spouse and I saw a number of homeless people living in tents under a bridge when our GPS instructed us to take a shortcut. But just think of how many of them can be helped to a better place with your knowledge and know how. Keep those wonderfully inspiring videos coming!! 😇
Great build Kevin. Needs a Cubic mini stove (sponser), roof vent, and roof rack to position the solar panels. Love your positve content. Full stop
I rolled over 400k miles on my 2002 chevy silverado. She's still going strong on all her original parts. Engine compression check is 👍. I tricked her out for weekend camping for me and my grandkids.
I wish more people filmed builds with garage doors
I love all of your videos very awesome content
Build a little porch on the tailgate and leave it open 😃
I was thinking, this is a perfect home for travelling construction worker. Get hired for a job, drive to the job-site, set down your mini-home, use your truck to haul stuff, jobs over, load your mini-home back on the truck, and drive to the next job-site.
I HAD CONCIDERED EVERYTHING BUT THAT! CAUSE I'M RETIRED!! BUT A DAMN GOOD IDEA. SAVE A BUNCH OF MONEY ON PURDEUM $$. DO THEY STILL DO THAT?
@@dougsain5090yes perdiem $2600 a month , working 8 hours away. take off a week every month or two
Great video Kevin ! Fantastic job on the camper! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it while having my morning coffee. Thanks for sharing!
I almost didn't watch this but I'm looking for a small camper for a 2008Ram. So I thought, why not try to keep up with this guys talking. I really enjoyed your DIY project. So I subscribed. My 2 sons might enjoy it too. I'm an older grandma that likes to camp and fish with my big doggies. Thanks from Central Oklahoma
This will blow your mind bro look on your tape measure it has a measurement on there telling you the exact size of the tape measure so you sit it on the shelf and pull the tape up to the roof, you take the measurements then add on the length of the tape measure
The average is 3 inch
Get a portable toilet and your build will be complete. Really love this build.
For your round post it's empty space
I wonder if you could create an opening (top/side)or a different post that could hold vertical slender things
Screwdrivers, utensils, etc
You already had access to Every inch of space.
Luggage rack or Storage on top
An awning to go over the tailgate or on the side of the truck
Fold out shelves on the side of the truck
A bubble window on top
Also, your fish eyed peephole on the homeless home was an awesome find
It's awesome as always
And not as Frankenstein as some of the things you create
Still lots of fun and so cool with your repurposed products.
Haha you are a dynamo!! Pretty soon youll be developing a whole sub division.
That would be an interesting subdivision
@@ModernSelfReliance or fight homelessness.
Your builds on your property could be considered as a subdivision!
Kevin Builds! Another awesome build, Kev. You seemed to fly through that one! Have a hreat week!
I was gunna say Thursday that you could gently rub chalkline chalk on your tailgate. The. When it closes, the chalk will transfer and show you where its touching. And it washes right off...
Classic builder problems…. Love it.
Kevin, as usual, you have come up with another amazing build!!! I love it! I even like the green color...lolol... the only 2 things I would add, would be, either a functioning window so, you can open the door, and get some air flow when its hot, and perhaps make the window to the cab a sliding window, to function as a pass through... Kudos!!! 😄🥰😄
I definitely would do both for lots of ventilation and an excape route .
Your meticulous $0 truck camper build from start to finish, featuring the DJI Portable Power Station, showcases resourcefulness and creativity. Your project is a testament to determination and ingenuity. And I am Floating Village Life.
I really like the wood cladding idea!
Get 1 sleeping bag for cold season and get one sleeping bag for hot season, same thing for the pillows, put a mini fridge in that camper for access to immediate drinks and snacks in case you take daily medications
The way I was actually yelling “Nooooo - wash the panels first” but Kevin attached the bed anyway. 😭😭😭
Sleeping bag I'd recommend a cold weather Nemo Equipment one. I like the spoon shape of them for knee room and their thermogills are good if you're using it in not so cold conditions. Great for the size and weight too 👍🏻
I bought a Coleman set for a sleeping bag. It has 3 parts for temps down to below zero up to a spring time bag/blanket that attaches inside. Super comfortable and when not using it for cold weather great padding for warmer weather. Worth the investment. BtW it's kinda big it for storage. Storage bag is aprx 3x3x3
Hot dang Kevin. You can build man. Love the resourcefulness with the wire wheels and everything. Happy 4th of July. Good on ya making family time. To purchase something like this would cost quite a bit 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Thanks
@ModernSelfReliance was curious what Canadians are using fireworks for.... US ... New Year's, 4th of July, 5th of May...
That should be mass produced. Sold as "diy", a puzzle kit.
I do enjoy your creativity and reuse of items
I like the variety of content on the channel.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
KEVIN BUILDS AGAIN!
Boy, if thats an old girl with lots if miles...i cant imagine what you might think of my dinosaur work truck! Lol
My ‘08 Jeep Commander has almost 1/3 of a million miles on it and I just took it on a 4000 mile, 12 state trip. It keeps on ticking!
Yay, another fun project and adventure from Kevin! 😊 I've missed your videos!
You're fun to watch...
I love how you talk to yourself.. Great attitude. If it doesn't work, you just tweak it till it does.
Now that was a great build Kevin!
Fabulous build! Don't forget the outdoor shower stall!👏👏👏👏
While you're inside, you'll want the option of pulling closed some curtains ;)
The blank wall could use a tree stencil or mountain range silhouette. Maybe a moose stencil or a buck? Just something to keep it from being a giant green box on top of a bright red truck. Other than that, maybe a small commode or an old bedpan for when it's freezing out and you need to do some business without having to put on all your gear first.
Not sure you would need a small heater, just make some tea to warm up the place. Something like a magnetic screen to cover the door to keep bugs and critters out might be a boon so you don't get stifled in there, or a vent with a small computer fan so you can get fresh air. I hear that a small solar panel can run those fans, or even rechargeable battery packs.
Hmm. Maybe I have more ideas than I thought.
I tend to be pretty warm blooded except at night! My blood pressure drops and I get really cold so I would personally get a warmer sleeping bag but you could also maybe throw some wool blankets in back there to layer if need be. There’s always a small Mr. Buddy or hand warmers as a backup.
I had a 4 pound holofill sleeping bag that I did a road trip to Crater Lake Oregon and had frost inside the Honda Civic... that 4 pound was toasty... better than freezing tushy off, at high altitudes in July.
Like 495 for the show. Good day all.
Enjoy your builds
Building out of insulated garage door segments is genius!
Awesome build sir.
I have never watched any of your videos before, but watching this, not even finished, I wanted to say, your style of making videos reminds me so much of the Red Green Show, but without the duct tape and mishaps. (This is meant to be a compliment, lol!) Instant subscribe.
I am a traveling er nurse that stays in my transit connect van I converted in the back. I use one of the bass pro sleeping bags rated for negative 20 Fahrenheit. I sleep all winter in t shirt and shorts. When it gets into negative temps I use battery powered socks. My feet are the only thing that gets cold. It’s not bad unzipped up to about 40. Anything above that and you’ll roast. And I use an electric blanket year round at home. Plus a Mr buddy heater is nice to wake up with. They are rated for enclosed spaces. I always have my windows cracked for extra protection and a CO detector. Love the build using garage doors with insulation!
Also Love what u did with the spool wood on the back!!
You are very gifted Kevin. You make it look easy.
nice and simple build... you need a powered vent on top-front for when needed, and solar panels on your roof... keep them a few centimeters over the roof [use spacers] to keep you in a shade, build them sturdy so they can hold some snow, plexiglass on top!
And something else... do you know these ''heated jackets'' and vests?... They use some ''heating pads'' like miniature electric blankets... but you can get them from eBay very cheap, just a set of pads with the wiring and switch, use safety pins to hold them in a sleeping bag, and a power bank to run them... easy solution for cold nights... you can also add them to a jacket if you want...
An awning would be a great addition for shade. absolutely the idea of keeping garage panels out of the trash dump.
You said you wired it for a 12V battery but didn't need it. Keep it as a back up or extra power if needed. Great build! Sure wish more folks would reuse what was on hand, cheaper and the landfills wouldn't be overflowing. Praying for safe. fun adventures. GOD bless
As your comment on a sleeping bag you have to take one thing into consideration.... Survival! I've been all over the world and I've lived in Alaska and I've lived in Florida.. I now live in Michigan I got the best sleeping bag for the coldest temperature I possibly could but it also comes with a liner that's lightweight and a cold sleeve for inside.... just in case of an emergency.. you never know there could be some freak storm or freak accident when I'm driving down the road because I keep it in my car if I go off the road I got no heat I'll stay warm and survive..
The best thing about the liner is you can open it up and just use a liner as a cover on those really warm nights... plus mine comes with zippers about up to my knees with mesh inserts so you can open those up and have ventilation on your legs.. and of course the cold sleeve is for either the outside to keep it waterproof and during extreme cold or exposure to elements..or you can use it
inside to keep you warm..
So my sleeping bag is good for minus 30 or 50 degrees below zero but if it's totally opened up and it's just the liner I slept in 90 degree weather...just saying
"Oh yeah!" as the window pops out. Kool-aid!
5 in 12v 1.5amp USB 3 speed indoor fan for some ventilation.. and lastly install a Bug screen with magnets... so you can go in and out (when parked).. without getting into a hot tent situation.
Really good video, Build Kevin. I enjoyed it man!
Nice camper Kev. My buddy built a camper for his truck in the late 90s early 00s . We slept in that thing at the kitchener Octoberfest haha and he also took it to BC one year. I think its still around. Pretty much just a sleeping quarters tho
Keep slamming that tailgate and it will eventually fit. Good looking little project.
HOW NEAT IS THAT!! COOL BUILD GUY. CAN GO MANY DIRECTIONS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. HUNTING, FISHING, HIKING OR JUST OVERNITE. GIVES A GUY IDEA'S EEY'👍👍
Awesome build love watching your videos
Pretty darn good, serves the purpose.
Absolutely awesome love the build
Very cool build, Kevin!
One really neat idea is the USB water pump, they usually just run a hose into a 5 gallon jug sitting on the floor under the sink.
Never heard of the USB water pump I'll have to look them up.
Good morning from Minnesota USA! Fun project!
This is an awesome build! Great job man. I've gotta say I wasn't expecting you to build it out of garage door panels... That's a good idea! 😁
Awesome job Kevin on the camper build,i really enjoyed watching this video, appreciate u.
That was awesome use of garage panels!
Excellent build, Kevin! Thanks again!
This is a great use of an older truck. I wish I had one I could turn into a mobile cooling station. I live in South Texas, so the heat is really bad here
I have a canopy camping setup on my '69 F250 truck that I bought used for $2000 back in '96 ... used it for road trips... I think the price is about the same for same model old trucks of that age seem to stay about that price it seems. Adding the canopy added to price in conversion.
You can replace the plastic spout with a 1/2" pipe thread outdoor hose bib. And a length of hose to route it to where it will serve you best so you don't splash water all over the place.
Nicely done. I believe those are "puck" lights. They look like hockey pucks.
You were talking about sleeping bags - Kent Survival is a bushcraft channel. He gets so many camping things sent to him - maybe you could develop that too. Also he’s reviewed so many camping things, from summer to sun-freezing. He is UK but hey, most of the retailers sell worldwide.
I've seen some of his videos, it just seems like he gets like 500 different tents
I mean it makes sense as far as making videos goes
but how many tents does a person really want
@@justanobody0 he passes stuff onto others rather packrating the stuff he gets or buys for videos...
Another great build Kevin. I love it!
For sleeping bags if you are a 3 season camper 20 degree synthetic classic shape will be fine and can be open or on top of it depending on the weather. If you winter camp you want lower but you probably would be better off with a down bag and possibly mummy style to keep your feet warmer. If you don't do much winter camping you get by with the 3 season and wear layers and a hat. Haven't watched to the end so don't know your whole sleep system but insulating yourself from the surface is important because the bag you are sleeping in will compress under you and loft is the primary thing doing the insulating. Depending on your location I would go to the more serious outdoor stores like REI, EMS, and Campmor. The ones in the big stores have ratings that aren't realistic. Look for a sale on a close out model and you will have a great deal on a quality bag that will last many seasons.
You asked about a sleeping bag, what do you estimate the thermal value of the garage doors? Get a bag a little cooler and keep a cold weather bag insert in case it gets chilly .
So glad that part two came out. Now when you gonna show us that digger making Swiss cheese of your property. Sure, the cabinet on foundation come on, man!
I want a giant crazy freestanding staircase
Sure, this cost camper build is pretty cool
Other than fiction fit, is it anchored at all? I was wondering about strong winds while driving
So awesome! Liked and shared. You know what would make it next level? The truck itself.
First off, I love the make and year of the truck. Not sure if it's AWD but it needs to be, differential locks, a modest lift kit and big all terrain tires. Also engine tune for some extra horsies, for better performance. You could really take it on some epic adventures!
Excellent job Kevin 🎉love it!!
❤WOWW! Incredible build! Maybe add on a foldable accordion pop-out front porch - if anyone can design it it’s you.
Very cool Kevin.great video man it always amazes me how you take old used stuff and make such amazing things with it.the truck camper idea was epic 😊☮️
Brilliant build!
Ps, really love the spool detail!!!
you need to make a door from the Back to the front like a trapdoor
That's a interesting idea too,U can sit and watch the fireworks and other things fishing,relaxing.
This is pretty cool. Interested in if it leaks around the wheelwell.
Great build. Love the repurposing of old waste... I think you shoulda made the camper slightly taller, tall enough to allow a mattress and sleeping top bunk.
This is a cool build! 👍🏻Turned out really nice! And you’re funnay, too! 😄
Hope I’m not jumping ahead, but if you check with liquid rubber, you are supposed to use their primer before tape, but that may just be over wood, not sure, but definitely over wood, then tape, then primer over tape. Then once it dries, coat with the liquid rubber. I did my whole deck with plywood, 6 coats of liquid rubber. Made a great dry area underneath, then enclosed it to make a workshop.
I roughed up the surface for better adhesion, but yeah i'd check with manufacturer recommendations before doing your project!
Another awesome video 🙏🏼✝️🫶🏼
I love this! I was actually thinkin you should do this when I saw the truck in an earlier video. I can't wait to build a glamper like you.
For backpacking generally a 20 degree or a 0° bag is a good all around option
