Glad to see you’re keeping busy Brian. Sierra is there with you in spirit, happy that you will continue your adventures. She will not be forgotten 🥲🥰
Thanks for the kind words Mama Cat, I appreciate all the positivity during this time!
Hey Brian are you getting close to working on the other buildings on the property?
I felt her running around the property close to him when he started to uncover the hot tub. So hard, but man she was so worth the heart-ache of saying Until we Meet Again!
I used a plastic shower curtain to stop the draft
Had to put my dog down yesterday and for sure a different vibe in the house.
I know you're missing Sierra❤, enjoy your trip. Look forward to the next video!
I'm sorry about both your dog and Sierra.😢
Sorry for your loss
Totally know what you mean about different vibe in the house. So sorry, it's so hard no easy way thru it. Someone taught me to say to myself "And Didn't We Have a Great Time" and that really helped cheer me up. Hang in there, take care of yourself.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sierra was a precious pup, and you gave her her best life ever. She will remain with you in spirit...🙏
Thanks for the helpful tips. Id make some easily movable skirting out of all the old wood you have. Then can move them during summer to stay cool. Long as you got enough wood you'll be ok though. Sierra 💕
Ain't gonna lie, the closing made me think of my beloved Rocky and I cried. He passed 8 years ago and I still miss him dearly. Enjoy your next adventure. Looking forward to the next video update.
Hey Brian this is Terry in your hometown all I can say Brian is I'm so sorry for you be strong son in time you will replace her but you bet your heart will never let go UA-cam we're a team God bless you and I know my dog still gets in bed with me at times and I can feel her so yes they are still around but it doesn't erase the pain be strong son you'll get you another dog in time and you'll love her too but you never will forget her Ciara was your daughter and you were one hell of a good daddy take care Brian again I'm so sorry
So strange but when I've lost my babies I don't look. One will come my way like he/she was sent to me and I couldn't have made a better choice myself.
You do sierra proud Brian as you keep on keeping on with a heart that is so full off missing her. Including the big shift in your day daily now. 🐕
The one I had in the Alaska bush, I stacked straw bails all the way around. then 2x4 and plywooded the roof and straw bailed it also. Then covered the entire thing with a tarp. I also used a small woodstove and -40 with no issues!
Keep going Brian, the days are different without them for sure. Missing our Sweet Girl!!!!!
Love all the videos of Sierra at the end! We all miss her too! Enjoy your trip Brian. We are all thinking about you and sending well wishes.
Contractor bags over straw bales. You could shove them behind the wheels even. Just enough to keep the wind from whipping under the trailer. Also, a small piece of corrugated metal behind your stove would help deflect the heat from your stove. I love your place.
😢😢😢😢 sweet sierra❤ love how she enjoyed every single moment of her life. Seeing her so happy running on the snow. Dogs live in the moment. Thanks for sharing your sweet Sierra with us❤
We really enjoyed the end with Sierra! Thank you.
We also picked up a Lodge 4 quart Dutch Oven. Pumped for 2024 camp cooking.
Mark & Teresa 😊
Sierra we miss you so much you are and will always be in our hearts we will always love you Sierra ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Damn brother, without Sierra, I get it it.. I had to put down my boy last year, I still miss him every single day. I want another dog but it just doesn’t make sense right now. Dogs are far better than humans.. you’re pretty damn strong. It sucks none the less. Our animals are part of our souls. Thanks for the video stuff, life is more than that. You’re thought of…remember that.
Hi Brian. That's definitely a good way to help stay warm . Aww Brian that picture of Sierra laying there got me 😢I wasn't expecting. But what beautiful sweet footage you have of her running around playing and playing in the snow its so so beautiful ❤
Flannel sheets 🤗 Lovely Sierra footage, Dogs are just crazy critters! ❤
Glad to be included in the trip. Looking forward to it
Stay strong Dude! It hurts to lose such a dedicated pet. I loved watching Sierra. Continue on doing what you guys did in her honor.
Thanks for your tips, and what a lovely surprise seeing Sierra at the end of the video. Happy crying as you know she had a wonderful life and looks how she shows us all. Sierra loved her life with you.
She was such a special companion, I'm lucky to have had her with me for so many years.
I love the simplicity of your floor plan. It looks very spacious. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I really like this open floor plan. It's easy to operate in here and makes the space feel much larger than it is. ~ Brian
Been a long time since I’ve visited your channel. Great video. I love your setup. I’m actually getting ready to do the exact same thing. Starting off on someone else’s property fr now, but using that opportunity to pay off as much as I can and then buy a plot somewhere. Very sorry to hear about Sierra. I know you guys fought a good fight. Makes me think about my lab that cancer got about 15 yrs ago. He was my shadow. And my buddy now who’s getting up there in age. Take it easy, things will get better.
The sleeping bag on the floor is a pretty good hack. When I refurbed my camper I had to redo 1/2 of my floor so I just redid the whole thing and I spray foamed the floor at the same time I did my walls, so mine doesn't get cool very often and when it does I just wear my house shoes or doble socks but in all fairness I live north of Tucson in the Catalina Foothills and we don't get the cold that you do in Colorado. When I lived in the Midwest I would plastic over my windows and had one of those plastic curtains that you put in a walk in freezer that I screwed over my door in the winter.
For the skirting around my camper, i used reckaimed 2x4 lumber to build a framing and secured 1.5 inch foil lined foam insulation from home depot. It was about $16 per sheet and I used 4 sheet. I also got a couple extra and lined the outside walls and ceiling inside all the cabinets. Makes a world of difference
❤ MISS MY DOG PEARL TOO! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.🥲
The outro is so heart warming and brings back a lot of memories for your subscribers as well as you I'm sure! Your friend in Las Vegas.
My skirting is is old plywood siding scraps and a painted thin plywood piece. The front, main side and rear are permanently installed, but the rest is just leaning up against the camper with pieces of wood against to hold it. Helps a lot versus without.
I love the show I watch them all Brian you’re amazing person. Sierra was an amazing dog she will be missed, but never forgotten
I have my granny cast iron Dutch oven that 100 years old. Love it! Hope everything going well now. Sorry to hear about your dog 😭. Watched a long time. I will miss the dog too.
Long Live Sierra, run free baby girl over the rainbow bridge🌈❤️🙏. You are missed.
Hey man, hope you’re doing well. Loved seeing Sierra tearing thru at the end. I miss her too😔
I'm so sorry for your loss. Now, go save a young pup and give her a great life. You need an animal in your life.
Also, straw bales around the camper and you can use them for garden beds later.
Hey Brian wood pallet work good around the outside.
Sierra the happiest girl!
This is just the way it’s really done!! Finances will make you become a genius in improvising! And that’s a great thing! Take care out there!
So sorry for the loss of Sierra.
Have fun Brian! Tight lines man
Looking forward to your adventure. Thanks for the video footage of Sierra at the end.
I still love that old trailer :) Your porch is still holding up well, You are good unless you get the Polar Vortex that we had move in & at -48c temp you need a good woodstove Lol !
What an amazing dog. She was fast in that snow! Have a great trip 😊
So much love 🥰 Thanks for sharing those wonderful memories!
Uno solo sabe lo que es amor cuando alguien que ha compartido con el momentos buenos, mejores , o malos, conoce que el adiós solo es la vuelta de la vida, hace tiempo perdí por motivos ajenos a un amigo de cuatro patas, y durante seis meses pasé más dolor que por cualquier persona conocida, y no comprendía los porqués, hasta que un día sentí que cuando dejas de fiscalizar ese proceso del adiós, la vida volvió a fluir por ese camino llamado destino.
Ánimo, paso a paso, sin prisas, sin pausas, y llegarás a sonreir con el cariño que os teníais mutuamente.
Saludos desde Puenteareas amigo
have to say Brian you make living off grid look so easy but we know that is not the case take care and god bless and thank you once again all the hard work you put into these uploads
Good dog dad. Plenty of dogs need fostering by one.
You can skirt it with scrap wood. We did ours when we moved to N.D.
She seem so happy and free in your videos. Thanks
So sorry about Sierra. She is running free in heaven! A piece of your heart will always be with her and her heart with you. Try shoving bails of hay under the camper next year and then use them around the property in the spring when they are no longer needed under the camper.
God Bless You Brian , ❤ Pray 🙏 that YOU STAY SAFE OUT THERE WHEREVER YOU TRAVELS TAKE YOU .😊
The food looks amazing.
I thought you'd have a lot more snow there. I'm in Iowa and as of yesterday we had 24.3 inches of snow, 45 mph winds and -7°(-35° feel).. Looks to be pretty easy moving at the campsite 🔥
That's not a campsite, that's home base.
God bless you .
🙏👍 Very nice setup, Be well and keep up the great work!
life is an adventure and u r the best!hey man it is a real deal so please inestigate RAIDIANT BARRIER!!it would amaze u what plain old aluminun foil does to stop heat transfer as long as you have at least ! inch air space. i know comfort is important to me and the RADIANT BARRIER works
Love the hot tub! Great content.
I full time in an rv in Washington and our skirting is hay bales cheap useful tip
Thank you for all informations 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful pictures of Serria 🥲 She was a happy happy girl thanks to you. Love the tips especially the one earlier about watching out for falling trees and tree limbs. Thanks Brian
some weather stripping on the door would help
pink rigid foam is the easiest skirting....
Dude you got such a small trailer the skirt around it will not cost very much especially if you go dumpster dive or hit up a few construction sites asking for the scraps.
We are all thinking of you and Sierra Brian. Glad to see that you are busy. Off grid is always busy. Also, your meals are always so delicious looking.
But double bubble foil insulate and skirt for no pipes freezing, bursting pipes and ruining water pump. Cost me about $250 for 26ft travel trailer for $180 foil and then screws, nails, staples. Salvaged 1x2s and old metal siding. Spray painted. No critters under as they hate the foil. Not warm and cozy for them.
Take care💜💚
I love the videos of sierra having fun. I’m glad you’re getting out to go fishing.
Use hay bails to skirt your trailer.
Hi Brian, wondering how you came across that ‘36 Kansas plate. Used to live in Sedgwick County (Wichita) in the 1970s. Greetings from Florida🍾
It's going to be -24 here tonight. Last night it was so cold when I closed my car door my back window shattered. Crazy.
Maybe some rigid foam insulation for skirting..just for winter
You should use some Reflectix against some of those in insulated areas.
A road trip and camping. I’m guessing you’re taking the tent with you. Take care Brian .
Here to pick up hints when I start spending more time in my dry cabin ( post retirement)
If you cover the windows that make a huge difference.
You can put cardboard around if you really need some skirting around it.
Looking for info and guidance on getting a piece of property in the Prescott area(off grid)
We are with you B ans S
I got first view! Ha!
Right on brother!
I actually put reflectix on my floor, followed by old car mats, then rugs like you have on floor, followed by 3 rubber car mats in a stategic locations that catch all the dirt from outdoors...thanks Brian. That meal looks tasty. Tme to figure out dinner here on the east coast. Have a great week exploring away from base camp. Peace~ Jack
That reflectix is good stuff, I used that in my winter tent to help insulate my feet from the frozen ground. Sounds like your place has some good insulation with those layers! Hope you have a good evening,@@ajackoutofthebox7731.
I notice you have a high-power washer. Would that not be better to use to wash your clothes with than the "scrubba" bag method? Faster too.
What are the interior dimensions of your trailer? Length, Height and width. I like your setup, simple but comfortable.
Brian have a safe journey. Thoughts go with you, sending you best wishes and prayers
sorry about Sierra she's a good camping buddy 🙏
where is your property located? looking at buying a property ... mostly i see is Concho not a lot of trees ... I like your area it's wooded
How do you wash in the winter months???
👊
279th place 🎉😂😊
She will be missed. If I could get a pet friend I would be can not at this time. I'll keep on watching your videos. And maybe you might get a new fur baby when you feel its time too get one. Keep well God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂
Try living like that without a vehicle there s a challenge!
Nah, that doesn't interest me.
Just use plywood for the skirting.
I think you need to install some kind of drain in the bottom of the hot tub, might make it easier to clean.😁
I've have both plastic and brass ball valves break when it freezes. I don't live off grid full time so I can't be there to tend it. It becomes a real pain refilling every time you go out. Mine is at 9,200 ft in CO.
Does that tarp on your water tank keep the water from freezing, or are there other devices you use also? That is a huge concern of mine. And I'm referring to your water storage tank and not the hottub tank.
Is Sierra still living
You really want to cook, put a wool blanket under you too……🇺🇸
I love your floor covering ideas….Chevy express here👍
Hang in there my man, try stay busy. 🙏💪🙏💪🙏
