Today we meet Forest, a long-time friend of mine who I have long admired and envied. He has the heart of a true Nomad and Adventurer who is always up for an expedition and to to go overland to just about anywhere and using any kind of vehicle. While I've known him he has lived in a van, Jeep, truck camper and Toy Hauler Travel Trailer. To get him into the backcountry he has used his Jeep, Honda ATV and motorcycle.

Thanks for watching!
What a humble man ... looks like a genius and acts like a gentleman ... good for you, Forest!
someone must be smitten.
Thanks!
He's pretty easy on the eyes, too.
I see a video like this and I silently cry in my cubicle...
Sorry, made me LOL.
that was good lol
This guy is handy and has his priorities straight! Very impressed!!
Finally someone who knows the VIEW is the better part of the journey! So many rv builders design their trailers backwards, so that the view is the back of the tow, the road and/or the hitch, instead of looking out on the lakes, rivers, mountains, etc.. With all of the junk out there, Forrest has a great future building these units if he so desires. Really a great design.
You are CORRECT.
One of the best rigs that I have seen
If not the best
Lots of wood and very little plastic gives this tiny home on wheels so much warmth. And with all of those windows, there isn't a feeling of being boxed in. This is the best tour I've ever seen on Bobs channel.
I enjoy the wide variation of vehicles you cover each year. This one is especially nice!
This is by far the best conversion I've seen. Also: motorcycle, mountain bike, paramotor? This guy has life figured out.
Wow. The perfect set up. This guy is ready for anything. And he can maintain it himself.
I love the large windows, the insulation, the woodwork, the garage, the clearance off the ground, the screen door.
I like the rounded corners on everything.
The view is great, too!
All that's missing is a wood burning stove and a good dog.
I personally agree about the dog, but a wood burning stove might leave door everywhere. But they are a personal preference.
I meant to say soot
What a humble and intelligent gentleman.
He has literally thought of every single detail of his home. Simply incredible. Thanks Bob for showing us this wonderful, custom rig.
I'm jealous. He's got an amazing rig!
Indeed, very very well thought out.
Wow. Very nice rig. I love the height above ground and light from the windows. Not what you would call stealth but certainly looks comfortable and beautiful.
What? Not amphibious? ;) That's amazing! What a piece of work. So well-thought-out. Be proud! Be very proud.
Awesome rig and the thunder agrees!!!
What a gorgeous man, and so humble and warm. Some lucky lady is going to be lucky indeed. AMAZING vehicle. I wonder how much that baby costs.
Sounds like he designed it himself. So, he is living on the road. He must do some kind of tech unless he's taking a long extended vacation for TRUE ADVENTURE. Motorcycle, mountain biking THAT VIEW. The inside of that truck looks like a 5-star resort. His truck is ART.
Beautiful rig and a beautiful smile on a handsome young man. I love seeing young people doing things the right way and really enjoying life. Gives this old Nannie hope! TFS
Well that's certainly NOT Cheap RV Living...lol..But TRUELY an amazing home on wheels- that can probably GO ANYWHERE!!! Wow!👍🚐
Yeah,...not cheap at all,...even with his skills saving cost on labor. That truck can't be cheap,...and I'm referring only to what's under the living quarters.
Considering they're not exotic in America, NPR's aren't all that pricey. Even when you factor in the material for building the camper and converting the truck to 4x4, he probably didn't spend much more than your average off-the-shelf RV, yet he pretty much has the same off-road capability of some $100K+ Earthroamer-type rig. Certainly not cheap by converted school bus standards, but I'd bet it's cheap by expedition truck standards.
Awesome truck Forrest! Extremely well done! I really dig the natural wood, warm homey interior. So many commercially made setups like yours have all the warmth and coziness of a trauma room. I wanted to settle down with a book and a beer just watching this video!
@@Edhooey I agree! Plus with solar he gets free electricity! So he saves on that. I'm sure his stove and hot water heater are ran with propane, which 8snt all that exspensive and he doesn't have to pay rent!
What do you think the budget was for it
@@thebreeze007 I personally believe it's 50-70k for The whole build truck included.
Definitely impressive, as everyone else has eluded to! Yes, he DOES need a YT channel! I wish I had a FRACTION of the skill & vision that he has!! Not only adventurous, but practical! Thanks Bob, and thanks Forest!!!! I hope we get to see you again down the road!
Lauri
Windkisssed he does have a UA-cam channel. His channel is his name Forrest Bault
Wow, just when you think that you've seen it all. This is great!
Oh I am in love with this build. He really could make alot of money making these or if nothing else just sell the blueprints. Really a nice build. Job super well done. You always bring the best ofem Bob. Cant wait to meet you in a year or so. Gotta get dem ducks in da row 1st. Lol Much 💘 🐝Safe & God Bless. We r Dreamin in Florida
This gentleman has a sweet rig!! Beautiful home, thank you for your service, Sir!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Holy cow that is a wonderful build. He did such amazing work. I wonder how it is doing now after 6 years. Plus he seems humble which is also a plus.
Sir, Thank you for your service to our country. 🇺🇸 You have one amazing off road machine / home👍 Totally, have fun and injoy your beautiful work of art. Safe Travels/Journey and have fun. 😎 Thank you, Bob. 👍 Very nice video and lot's of great information. Wish this very nice Young Man all the best.✨ Great Job👏
🍃🇺🇸🕊️🌎🕊️🍃
Who needs an Earth Roamer when you have this guy's skills! I bet it didn't cost a million five either. Very nice!
Nice young man, great job! Safe travels.
Forest, a great name and the simplicity of your home is outstanding.you are a credit to art.
This is my favorite build that I have seen so far...
Smart &handsome guy with wonderful RV build. Thanks for sharing.
He has done a realy good job with his rig.
Very nice home. I agree with Forest on his choice of sink. Thanks you two!
I want to say "WOW".....but that word doesn't seem to be strong enough. That is an unbelievable rig! Very talented young man.
This guy is modest. He's got skills.
Beautiful work Forest! Love that panoramic view from the lounge.
Omg that rig is amazing! You can tell that man put a lot of thought in it and knew what he was doing!
Very, very, nice. A talented young man!
Best designed rig I've ever seen... beautiful... Thumbs up
Man! Amazing. Love all the windows.
This build is money!! Well done and happy travels. Some lucky girl would be happy to have such a great guy. 👍
Hello, I'm E L M E R Doesn't look like this unit is built for a couple. 😄
Why not?
Thats what I was thinking, what a catch..
Really nice rig
1 E L M E R amazing
Very nice, thank you for sharing. Wench is awesome to have with 4 wheel Drive !
Enjoy hearing about his bike. Winch for dirt bike. So cool. Nice guy. Fun van with lots of work and time in making all of this. Wow! Shoe house, super cool. Safe Travels and Hugs,
MommaFaye
I love his windows; very nicely designed. Thanks for sharing.
I love wood. Its beautiful. But not cheap and its heavy. I love his garage. And I like when people invest in their tires.
Another amazing human being, living without societal restrictions Beautiful!!! Great vehicle has made an impression on myself. Thank You Bob for presenting him to us.
Excellent design!
I like how simple it is but got all he need..
Out of the topic, "He's Hot".. 😊
The ingenuity of this guy is mind blowing!
This man is a genius. His work is impeccable. I like him and the way you were so respectful of his quiet nature.
That was absolutely gorgeous! Great video! You Rock Bob! Lol
An amazing design and beautifully made a perfect home with everything you need. Enjoy
I love the fact that there are so many windows. But it's definitely a man cave! Hihi!
Amazing build!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
wOOw!!! Amazing camper!! Safe travels and thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Wow, I am in awe of the design details that went into this self designed home! Thank you for opening it up and sharing with us!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Outstanding layout and build!!! Forest really needs to seriously consider some sort of profit making venture from this build. At the very least make a deal with someone who can create a set of building plans which Forest could copyright and then sell at a reasonable price. I'm sure that someone who has seen this video has the same idea and it would be a shame if someone other than Forest were to profit from his outstanding design and hard work.
I want to see his 4x4 conversion.
I could live in that. Easily.
What a beauty, surrounding view included 👍🚛
This is by far the best off road camper truck I've ever seen.. Wow.. Inspiring to me this truly is.. Its a powerhouse on wheels & to be able to go off road & be comfortable is so key & this is it..😁🎇
Seida Kuranosuke honestly what I truly think is that I need to hit the lottery and hire him to do all the Remodeling and building out on my off road vehicle LOL... I find the most fascinating vehicles has been built hands on instead of these thrown-together campers and RVs
I think this build is a true example of what anyone can do with the skills and talent that show true craftsmanship.
Beautiful set up
Brilliant home! I love the aesthetics of the wood and designs. Simply beautiful and very cozy, but open at the same time because of all the windows. The bike garage has so much room! Wonderful rig. It goes to show you can build out any rig to your liking. Again, that wood is awesome! I also love the simplicity of the design!
This fellow is so reticent, a man of few words but his work is exemplary. What is remarkable about his rig is that everything that he did goes against convention. He has deliberately kept the heavy bed, water tank and bike in the front to help driving. No black tank and limited usage of grey tank. I always wondered why can't we allow grey water out on to the ground instead of a holding tank if you are going to use it only in the wilderness. I would even go to the extent of saying why not use portable toilets with plastic bags than use composting toilets just to make your life easier during your travel. Amazing guy! His work speaks louder than his words. Thanks for the upload.
Just one more point. Why not make the entrance doorway into a 3x3 bath to make use of that space and let the water simply flow out.
Beautifuly made! Love all the window's!
However, I'm calling this a man cave on wheels!!
Forrest did a wonderful, organized, cozy home. He's very clever.
Wow, Bob, best rig yet!!!!! Thanks for this one! 😊. --Mark
Wow! I am truly impressed with the talent and expertise of this gentleman. Way to go!!!
What a nice young man. They are such a rarity that when you see one, they really shine. What an awesome rig. I agree that if he sold these he would have a great business. Loved to hear the thunder in the background. Continue making videos and we will watch. Thanks for sharing.
I'd be one of those interested buyers 😉
what a great guy is your friend Forest! Made an incredible rig, with lots of machostuff in it without it being too macho. Just vbery nice space, great storage, all just gorgeous.He could do with some decoration tho - would be nice... Thanks for sharing Forest and Bob.
Amazing setup
WOW thank you for the ideas. I plan on doing my own rig next summer.
Wow! I just met the guy who bought this rig July 3rd outside Crater Lake. The box is now sitting on a diesel dodge 4500 with a smaller garage
Really nicely done.
Love it so much! It makes me want to cry. I wish I could work and save for something like this. I hate myself and life so so much.
Amazing what he has built. So very nice.
Wow, this is really impressive. I could easily settle in. The garage provides more than enough storage, especially if you're not carrying a motorcycle. The amount of solar, water carrying capacity, and clearance underneath truly makes this go-anywhere, off-grid living. But the views are breathtaking... and privacy is a given with the high windows. Just wonderful!
Its funny, Bob sounds like a very proud father when talking with Forrest. Sweet stuff!
Thanks for sharing yet another unique interview, Bob! Forest clearly has tons of vision and ample skills. Inspirational!
His rig is awesome!
He's a mild mannered genius artist. Well done.
Beautiful camper build. That would be a great business for him.
Great so I missed out on the spelling bee.
Thank you so much for sharing! This vid was played over and over at the house and while out and about. I took plenty of notes of the small, creative rig ideas that just make life comfortable while living in a moving house. Peace wherever you are.
This gentleman is amazingly talented in design/build! His rig is so well planned out and seems so well built...he has thought of everything! Kudos to him and to you Bob for producing the video!
I can't say how amazed I am by this guy! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm wanting to get rid of my kitchen cupboards, to open my gallery kitchen, at home. And, this Summer, I'm going to have a blast with our utility trailer. Must get a wave 3 heater. We have a propane heater & plenty of air vents, but the more I watch these videos, the more I know we could head South when the heavy cold hits. At 5500', we are at the break-over zone. We get snow, while our neighbors below get rain. One of our neighbors want thinking when they set up their home. All the run off & heavy rain is funneled down our road right to their front door.
Beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for sharing with us, Forest!
So great to see someone else who realizes one doesn’t need a diesel. Really only need a diesel for heavy duty trucks or towing big trailers. This rig is a “medium duty truck”. I sold all mine and went back to gas. So much quieter and less expensive to work on. A diesel gets slightly better fuel mileage but after the price increase I was not saving anything over gasoline.
Great design & execution. Impressive.
Literally a nice camper. This is there reality tv. Not sure but I'll take the next ride with the Swedish blondies who can actually hold my attention.
Finally, someone understands that a domestic fridge is FAR better than a dual/tri fuel unit! Way more efficient, far cheaper and run off a battery-solar panel plus cheap inverter. Well done
Absolutely beautiful!!! He’s a very talented man and is blessed with a wonderful home!!
I have been watching builds for quite a while trying to decide to go with box truck or school bus. I really am impressed with this build. I think simple and quality is certainly the way to go. now to find the truck and start the project. Thank you for sharing.
This is a guy that knows exactly what he wants.
I’m in love with this build I’ve never seen anything like this before ❤❤❤
WOW! Practical, beautiful travelling and living space.
Wow! What an awesome rig!! I think that is the most beautiful one I have ever seen.
My new favorite of your videos, Bob, beautiful job Forest! I am planning my home made camp trailer that my Toyota 4runner can pull, so I love the manmade nomadic dwellings! Watching AGAIN!
WOW an amazing and talented young man!!
Beautiful rig. What a talented guy. Thanks Bob
I really like this camper. And I love Isuzu. I drive a trooper and my daughter has a rodeo. Beautiful craftsmanship.
Beautiful build Forest, probably the best one I've ever seen. Thanks for loading this one up Bob.
