    I’m an amateur writer and one of my stories features a bus modified to function as a mobile base in the apocalypse. I’d just like you to know you have provided me with a massive amount of inspiration for it (though mine’s based on the Prevost H5-60). Awesome build.

    Hey Gordo. I loved your first build but this is just outstanding. To me, you have probably the best rig out there. You really have thought about everything and every inch. Well done Gordo. I am of course looking forward to seeing your updates down the road.....until then.... Stay healthy and inspired.

    Those are some incredible improvements, but I still see two major improvements to be made: Easily accessible fire extinguishers and easily accessible first aid kit(s).
    A HAM radio wouldn't be out of place either, but I don't know that that would be a significant improvement.

    Reckon you might not see this comment but I watched this and the first vid; you’re a true creator, a true engineer. What you did is just effing awesome man. In that first vid where you kinda broke out your shop, I couldn’t help but think what my dad would have thought if I was able to watch it with him. Man, keep doing you.

  • @weareallbloodydoomed2772
    @weareallbloodydoomed2772 Рік тому +37

    End of the world = bio diesel, or ethanol if it's gas, just have to make sure the lines are compatible I think . Being organized is not O.C.D. , having to tap the freaking door 15 times before you open it is O.C.D. . People trivialize it by saying any one who is competent has O.C.D. . People are just a bunch of jealous, disorganized, slobs, stop it lol. Your bus is awesome !

    • @hWat-Ever
      @hWat-Ever 6 днів тому

      He said in a previous video that it's all diesel, though he said in this one that he's burning windshield washer fluid (I'm guessing he's getting the de-icer stuff that is pretty much pure alcohol), that might have changed.
      Also needs a means to turn random organic matter into biodiesel.

  • @Halfwheelhell

    amazingly well built rig. Very complete and somehow very minimalist too.

  • @PapaCriss
    @PapaCriss Рік тому +57

    You are an exemplary problem solver, Gordo! Ignoring that nasty little voice that whispers “You can’t do that” or “You’ll never succeed!” along with ignoring all the naysayers is the first step in problem solving in my experience. “Know the rules before you break them!” Is probably the second.
    Despite being colorblind and having dyslexia, I have a degree in electronics, ran a color darkroom in college, and spent several years writing copy for radio & TV.
    Still in the planning stages of a bus build, and fully intend to incorporate some of your awesome design features. Thanks for the inspiration and stay safe on the road.

    Wow I'm so impressed with him. He used the word improvisational, and I see him as an improv artisan!! An amazing talent, and so glad to get this update. He impressed the h___ out of me the first time, and has blown me away again. Thanks. 😊👏🏼

    • @Winter-zv1dv
      @Winter-zv1dv Рік тому +2

      Thank you for not spelling out the entire four letter word of h___. It definitely helps improve society and protect our children. I wish more people would use or refer to swear words but replace some of their characters with underscores so as to invoke their meaning but mask their letters. That’s what really matters. Every time I see those double hockey sticks typed out, I know another child’s innocent future will be lost if they stumble across them. One thing for certain, Gordo wouldn’t be the talented creative he is today if he would have seen or heard any swear words in his life. Keep fighting the fight my friend. I believe in you!

  • @neverendingstudent
    @neverendingstudent Рік тому +10

    There are so many amazing things about this build, and I don't want to seem like I'm ignoring them, but at the 9m47s mark when you show your 'this isn't anything fancy' 'just the basics' toolbox, I was geeking out so hard. Sooooo pretty. Wera, Knipex, and did I spot Mitutoyo? We have the same taste in tools, though I am forced to admit your storage system is nicer than mine by far.

I’m looking forward to finding more of your videos and build details as I begin my quest. I’m nowhere as brilliant as you so my build will take long and be more basic for sure! There will be no code writing from this old man lol. Thanks for sharing!!
