I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

I’m a 78 year old lady and somehow I came across your video and find you just adorable…You are so patient with everything you do and so pleased with everything you have….If you were my grandson I would be so very proud of you ❤❤
That is a beautiful compliment ❤️
Damn you got the ladies bro 🤣
How sweet she is.
There truly is hope in the younger generation. Never forget that. Hope you're doing well, hun.
For someone that 78 years old I'm impressed. You're on a roll using those heart emojis. You joined UA-cam like 12 years ago. I was two years old then. By the way I love dr. Mike as well. Or this could just totally be a scam and you could just be some young kid proposing as 78 LOL.
Some people don't like this?
This is so awesome.
Ya don't have to go survival mode to call it camping.
It's called living and having fun.
I thought it was a great idea, very interesting and your making something useful out of something that was just decaying in the middle of nowhere.
Finish the old truck and enjoy the truck.
Glamping!
I couldn’t agree with you more! Some videos on here about making a RV for camping from an old vehicle the comments are terrible! People just comment about what the person should’ve done to make the camper “the proper way”. When you make it from expensive materials you end up worrying about damaging something when I would rather be in a tent and have fun without worrying! Lighten up people! I would love to spend a week in this camper! Nice job and enjoy! I know you will! ❤️🍀
Off-grid living is so much more enjoyable.
😁
Everyone can learn from you. I’m 45 years old but after watching just a couple of your videos I want to as laid back and patient as you are. And you enjoy the simple things. Never change. You’re an inspiration to all!
dont know if this guy has kids but i reckon he would be a great dad
I survived a two winters by heating solely with that same stove. It kept myself and two elderly dogs comfy in a trailer followed by a cottage. We had no power or utilities, so I also cooked many a dinner on it as well. A very memorable part of my life.
That's a great memory, thanks for sharing
He could have used the bacon grease to cook eggs. I wonder if he will pour it in a jar - I save it. Bacon an baked potatoes, sour cream - yum 😋
✝️🙏Amazing!
@@terracottaneemtree6697 I ALWAYS cook my bacon first for this reason. People say I make the best eggs ever, well that's my secret plus a little milk mixed in👌👌
That's cool. Glad it made a good memory and no bigfoot hassled you.
Couple of things I’d do , turn stove sideways and closer to wall , co2 needs to be closer to the floor ( the gas is heavier then air ) , one inch insulation ( foam ) on walls and ceiling ( maintains heat better and bunk bed with a couch and chairs and small table ! Perfect cabin ! Once you insulate your wood consumption will go way down and foam board and aluminum tape is cheap ! Plus carpet and split wood outside because of bugs in the wood ! Just some well used ideas I’ve done to my cabin in N. Minnesota !
I would use 2nd hand china plates! No polluting the air and in a small plastic bowl with warmish water and detergent - perfectly clean!
CO meter has to be high. yes CO is heavier then air, but it is a hot gas at that moment so lighter.
@@sannmarc You both are wrong. CO diffuses evenly in air; there is negligible difference in density. It's essentially identical to N2 in density (12+16=28 g/mol vs. 14+14=28 g/mol), which makes up 80% of the atmosphere. The temperature difference is also non-existent within a few seconds, at which point it mixes evenly with the air.
@@connerblah ...and, insulation is flammable
@@yankeecarolyn376 SO ARE WOOD FRAMES HOUSES, BUT EVERBODY HAS THEM....
I'm not an outdoor person, but your camping adventures make me want to be. Too cool that you bought the property for the truck.
Brings back nice memories when I lived with my grandparents for two years. My grandmother had a wooden stove to cook on. I’m 67 now.
I love the fact you own land at your young age. Congratulations! 🎉❤😊
Totally agree
Yess good job 👏🏻 👏🏻
Congrats on the land purchase! This is frickin awesome!
💯
I agree! 🙂
How come this comment is from 5 days ago and the video was posted 2 days ago?
The land purchase is awesome though
@@mcburnski Patreon members get early access. Soooo worth it 🙂
@@LD__ thanks for the reply. That's good to know, if i ever have any spare cash I'll look into it
That walk to the stream was absolutely epic in every proprotion. So remote and untouched, with the heavy wet snow. Thanks for bringing me along.
Co2 detector needs to be mounted lower for your safety. Probably on the wall at pillow height 👍
Post; please dont quit your day job.
I think two of them at 24 inches off floor 😊
Good point
Co2 rises people.. 😂
Very resourceful and talented. I'm impressed. Not everyone can do what you've done. You're more than just surviving. You're thoroughly enjoying your life there.
When my brother bought some land, he found an old cabin in the very back part of it he cleaned it up. He put a wood burning stove in it and rented it out for $500 a weekend. That’s how he got his start and then later on, he opened up a bed-and-breakfast with all these little campers he’s gone now and he’s missed so much
That truck brought me back almost 40 years! One of the Bachman pretzel factories was a few blocks from my house growing up. The trucks were ubiquitous. We would often go knock on a door on the side of the factory and sometimes a worker would open the door and give us some warm pretzel sticks right off the conveyor belt.
You from reading pa
That wood splitter is a thing of beauty. Never seen one before.
I did not know they made such a small wood splitter.
Cute little place. Glad there are people who can afford to fix up little places like that. Everyone needs a place to get away once in awhile. But only the lucky ones get the opportunity.
A good wind will blow that tin roof away. :(
Yea no kidding
To both
@@awilliams5007 The roof may be protected by the abundance of trees nearby.
I am a 84 yo female and I came across your video and I actually watched the whole video and I actually enjoyed it. You are one adventurous young man. I will look for you again, thanks
Love ❤ it I hope your still enjoying it still man that's kind of a deal I looking for 😊
This dude is so positive we must protect him at all costs
He is living his life and escape the ratrace we live in
Your one of those weirdos that go post to post saying we must protect them at all cost lol
Lol
@@chrispbacon6810 I thought 'weirdo' as soon as I saw "jigglepuff".
Protect him for & from what?
"Everything about today is beautiful and pretty". Lessons in simple appreciation as taught by post 10. Thank you sir! For all of the adventures and field trips you take us on. Not sure how I came across your channel, but I am SO thankful I did!!
You did a GREAT job with that truck man. It looks nice and cozy. Keep up the positive attitude, it shows and reflects well in all your videos bro. 👍
I know you know to pull the bottom tray in and out to get the stove to draw make sure the door is shut i feel stupid telling you that bc everybody knows that but i havant saw you do that maybe that stove doesn't work that way but it will be the first one i ever saw keeps the smoke down to
That stove i dont think is made right it should have a place below the door to let it draw if you make the aire hole in the front below the door a little small well you should be able to make it big medium and small i know i probably sound stupid but just not like all the stoves ive used, i was raised in a house you could kick a cat under the door so i seen a lot of stoves just look over my ignorance i mean well wish i was out doing that myself but the faster the air goes through the hole im talking about idk what im trying to say hang in there you dont need no help you got that realy well i dont see to good neither hell im old as dirt and turnip greens and polk salad fence post you know what im ratteling on about did you bring a book hell now you dont need one time you read this you want have time for nothing but go dogs go the cat and the hat or like me i just look at the pic you know playboy hustler if i did that i would be gone up on Michigan av or warren or woodward or last call bar well there goes the camping trip . Try making a song from this bs that what happens when you live alone and dont talk to nobody for days and days cept the mail person now and then the dog well its been fun see yea have a good time
As a helicopter guy, I’m guessing they were out looking for someone or on a patrol (depending on if rescue or police/rangers) but your heat would have been visible to the FLIR, and as such, they probably investigated. Not a big deal but kinda cool that you had the attention of an eye in the sky.
I kept getting the super close helicopter visits (to close)
Because I raised tropical aquatic plants in my basement.
Blew shingles off my roof did $15,000 worth of damage.
I got angry and called the FAA to report them. I went outside to get the. Tail numbers but the pilot must have suspected that was what I was trying to do single turned so I couldn't see them (I know the copter belongs to the local sheriff dept. )
What had happened is I was on the phone with the FAA and he came back!
I the guy from the FAA was on the phone and didn't believe me when I said ," I could hit him with a rock '
Then he heard the copter outside and said yeah he sounds close .. I replied , I'm in my basement!
That's when he damaged my house.
I contacted the pilot, at his home I'm a network security engineer so I know everything lol. He wasn't happy about my FAA call!
Started threatening me, I said Im an engineer and own a cable launcher and his tail rotor is an easy target, he hasn't come back..
It's been a few years, I'm going to look him up, find out what he's flying currently and make another complaint to the FAA.
This gives me post apocalyptic vibes just using what you have as shelter. Amazing video
Lq
Was thinking the same thing.
All these survivors vids, are preludes to what's to come maybe 50 yrs from now
Looks pretty zombie-proof to me! Does Post 10 know something we don't?
Post apocalyptic lmfao. It's just camping. People are obsessed with doomsday scenario stuff where 99% of people would die in the first month.
He is so sweet. A very creative camper I bet he builds a beautiful home
Another old lady here watching your video. I am so impressed with you. You are so capable and resoureful. It was a fun adventure. Something I would have liked to do back when I wasn't an old lady!
Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/o-5g-xecvMc/v-deo.html
I know that a lot of people are probably going to say this because already a few people have commented this. The metal roof was quickly thrown on as a solution to stop the water damage from happening, but to my surprise the cinder blocks are more than adequate enough to hold down the metal roofing. This property experienced a microburst during the storm yesterday and 47 substantial trees that I know of so far have come down. It's going to be a very long cleanup that I probably won't be able to get to until the spring but amazingly the roof did not fly off, it has very little space to catch wind. Thanks for watching (edit) people who are mad about me pushing the hole in the Catalyst of the stove, this is a cheap knockoff stove that didn't even go together correctly when I was assembling it. If I didn't do that it wouldn't have worked properly even among my initial startup it would just smother with the door shut, I ordered it from China and I got what I paid for but with the entire thing removed it works fine and now heats up hotter. Also the top of this stove is all one piece, the burners do not remove it is a very cheap stove
Cinder blocks, the heaviest substance known to man 😁
poor trees
Firewood for the next few years!
Well your probably going to have a lot of firewood for the camp after the storm. Just wondering would you consider some styrofoam insulation on the walls to help with keeping the difference in temp internally and externally? Love the idea for reusing the truck.
Nature's way of clearing the canopy for new growth. You'll have plenty of firewood for a couple of years.
I must regain my enthusiasm from my earlier years. I’m now 63 and used to do these kinds of adventures all the time when I was younger. I really enjoyed this. Thank you. Kind regards from New Zealand. Subscribed.
I am a woman who is over 72 y/o and did allot of these things until I had a stroke, when I was 70y/o. I used to hike around in the Central Cascades, the lava beds and even out into the High Desert in search of wildlife, waterfalls and anything else of interest. Would have loved to visit your country before I became incapacitated.
I would like to visit New Zealand.

I am from Rotorua, and I also did a lot of that stuff when I was younger.
Im from new Zealand from the south island but now live in tauranga. I was in the Cubs and scouts.
Absolutely loved it used to to go Bush with my mate's and camp out .
Have been looking for a survivalist group but no luck .
I don’t know why I’m glued to this but here I am
Congratulations on you new land purchase. Looking forward to watching you fix up your new camper in the woods.
I love watching this channel grow!! This is such a great no BS community. That campsite is really freaking cool!
Post has the most positive comment section on YT. There is of course always the "Yeah we all know, duhh" comments but it's HARD to find an actual negative one! Basically the most negative they ever get is "stay safe, that's dangerous" and I hope it stays that way forever. Somehow Post even avoids a lot of the scammers!
@@BrianRRenfro I like hearing this. I get bullied a lot so it's nice to know that.
it's been hard finding safe chat zones on yt.
His videos are very calming and helped my seizure disorder tonight 😇
And you just made me feel more comfortable here too.
Happy New year 🙏🏻
@@SensiProductionzBlindDogVideos I am glad I could help as 99.99 percent of everyone here in comments would say too. Having been on YT since the beginning I have a few tips for finding good comment sections. Look at the content. Stay away from comment sections of channels that review things, post opinions, make instructional videos, have a lot of sponsored content, or generally have ANY political leanings. I find the channels that where the content doesn't challenge things AT ALL to be best. Also channels that it isn't about the activities but about the creator. Post is both. Who doesn't like to play in the water? And it's also about hanging out virtually with Post. Take Steve Wallis on here for example. It's just a goofy Canadian dude camping. His comments are usually pretty good because he content is more about hanging out with Steve than anything. Which if you don't watch Post's other channel where he eats old ass food...go check that out.
Have a great 2023.
@@SensiProductionzBlindDogVideos bullied? how does one get bullied on UA-cam? just turn the notifications off on ur comments & you will never have any idea when someone replies to you! there is no possible way one can be bullied on UA-cam if you dont want to its very simple to prevent! just dont say things like "I get bullied" because you will only invite the trolls in! when you type stuff like that you have to remember the whole world with few exceptions have access to UA-cam!
But people want to participate in comments and community. They don’t want to isolate by turning comments off. Just don’t want to be harassed. Not much to ask. The person is making themselves vulnerable. They would like to be accepted in THIS community and feel safe here to mention ii. Hoping not to be criticized for it.
Kinda crazy with how hard that door is to slide open that it opened on you while you were sleeping. Might want to put a lock on the door from the inside just for the protection
I thought he was talking about the door on the wood burning stove
@@keithporter6608 your right lol. My bad. I would still put a lock on the inside of the front slide door
Probably just beings coming through the portals made by the mirrors facing each other.
And on the back double door!
Yes need a lock of Some kind
Dude your big pot of Dollar Store "Good" Instant Diner Coffee 🤣🤣🤣 killed me! Great vid!!
You have a gem of a camp! Way to go! I want to see it five years from now.
As you stay in it, you’ll be making all kinds of refinements and upgrades.
You’re gonna have a ball!
In the spring, you could eventually put out a few tomato plants! Flowers too!
You remind me of my son. Good luck! BE SAFE!
I'm very sick but videos like this make me feel so cozy in my bed. I loved it thank you
Omg same! I'm home vomit now for the last four days aching fluef up etc etc so having a few cozy days to myself
I have flares of lupus (SLE) every so often and am confined to bed. Watching winter camping videos make me feel warm and cozy in my wonderful bed. UA-cam has helped me keep up with the rest of the world and reach out through comments. Everyone needs to learn to use the internet. It’s our connection to the rest of the world!
I lived in an RV with my native husband for 3 years and our stove was all we had. Our first winter was in a dilipadated trailer...past 2 winters was an RV with no electricity, no running water, solar. Our first winter we survived with only an ax...and mostly Pine wood. This pine creates ALOT of cresote, especially when it's 19' below or more. Make sure that pine is dry. We learned our lessons well. My dear ol hubby is still out there. He loves the solitude, tranquility, and nature! Cuts down trees, blocks up and drags by sled nowdays. It's how he grew up here on the reservation in his youth and them days it was bowsaws and ax! Loved the nostalgia! Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy your videos so much. The main reason is even when things don't go as planned you accept it and learn from it. Most of us are such spoiled people that it is a reminder that we actually could live with much less.
Put a small heat exchanger on your flue pipe, will increase efficiency tremendously. Wood stoves draw cold air from outside, create an air supply as near the stove as possible
Such an upgrade from camping in culverts and abandoned buildings LOL This is TOTALLY amazing. Congrats
⏩ that looks like the inside of a submarine! Please don't leave candles burning while you sleep tho. Also, get that door slider fixed in case you need to do a quick exit for some reason. And put a lock on the inside of the door. You never know who might be lurking. And padlock the outside of the door when you leave. Super fun video!!❤️👍
Another goofy move .. tromp around inthe water and stir up mud to wash dishes in.. not suppose to use soap because cast iron is porus and the soap gets in the pores of tbe metal .. put skillett on the stove get it hot and put some water iin it while its hot ... use paper towel to wipe out then put some oil in the warm pan ..wipe out again ..done
Heat rises silly if the heatvcant go out the chimmne and the door on the stove is open .. where do you think the smoke is gonna go ?.. yup ..out the dooor with the smoke .. dur.. how do you people survive day to day ?
Thanks for the video! This dude's a SURVIVOR.
A tiny wood stover will have to be stoked and resupplied with wood every couple of hours or so. You will not get any sleep if you intend to use it overnight because you'll have to get up so often to stoke and resupply it with wood. But it looks like you're doing a great job of fixing up the truck.
You have a good soul. The world needs more of you
This is my new favorite channel/video, I love how normal this guy is He's not some Bear Grylls woodsman he's just a normal guy that thought of a cool idea, got an opportunity, and stuck it out, I hope this truck thing turns into a series because I'll definitely watch all of them but cooking thing is just perfect I feel like I could do this if I wanted so it's really nice to see someone else do it first
And he actually sleeps there, unlike Bear G who goes to a 5 star hotel.
Bear Grylls is a phony!!!
@@johnnyringo9759 ...wait... He didn't really climb everest?! What about all those people that were up there and said he did?! Did they not climb it either? Or cross the Labrador?! ... Was he actually in the special forces?!?
I bet you certainly can do it too.
Just found out about this second channel a day ago can't believe how versed you are in skills even if they don't seem technical they sure are valuable. This gave me more inspiration to do something like this even if it isn't the best to begin with its a work in progress and that is the number one thing, would be a good start and then slowly make a cabin or something out of the resources. Man thank you so much.
I have greatly enjoyed watching this video. I used to do a lot of fishing, camping, hiking during my teens and early 20s before I went off to college and then joined the Army. So, I applaud you for doing these things while you are young. I've only watched a couple of your videos so far, but I hope to see you camping with a dog or two in some of your videos. Some of the best memories I have include having a faithful dog by my side as I was out camping, hiking, etc. Anyway, keep exploring and be safe out there.
I was thinking the very same thing. Dogs! How I love dogs!! ❤️🇺🇸
Yeah, everyone needs a dog. Not a hunting dog type though, he would take off in those woods and you'd be spending all your time trying to find him/her. A protective, working type dog like my favorite, a German Shepherd would be good.
@@grandmajane2593 German Shepherds are fantastic dogs! We had a German Shepherd as a family dog. My dad named her Bonnie. She was very protective of our family and home. I miss her.
You are so clever. Your cabin in the woods is awesome. Next trip to the dollar store remember to get a dust pan, coffee mug, tin foil, area rugs, wooden spoon so you don’t scratch your cast iron, any other utensils you might need and a big sponge to clean up melted ice on the floor. Have fun.
Very good list of things to buy.
Tip for anyone that wants to emulate something like this truck. If you coat the interior walls with blankets, it will retain the heat inside the truck and help you save wood. For something like a "casual" camp it probably doesn't matter but it can save you some effort in the long run. You can usually find thick flannel or wool blankets at the thrift store too!
Blankets ,or carpet or underlay.
Or just use insulation
The foil bubble roll stuff at home store. Works good reflecting the heat back inward.
@@improvisedsurvival5967 and when it catches on fire it literally explodes and turns the place into a toxic death trap.
Moving blankets are cheap.
This guy is going to meet his mate and they're going to end up living in here while they build a beautiful home 💞 God bless him and his beautiful ❤️ and soul. Whomever raised him did a heck of a job and should be extremely proud! 😊
Do you think his mate, presumbaly a young girl, would be happy in a truck with no running water or electricity? That would be a special kind of lady that's for sure!
I just love this. The nature, the quiet, scenery. So many possibilities ❤️
I love that sticking door, it adds character. Just a beautiful camp for a wood lot. Couldn't ask for better.
Hi Post, you should never have poked that hole into that plate. It is there to STOP the heat going straight up the chimney so that he heat is trapped in the stove. Either that damper on chimney is not open enough ir you need to see if there is a damper on the unit itself Also you need to clear out that ash in the bottom of stove before lighting a new fire or there must be a riddler handle on the unit somewhere. All stoves make a little smoke when lit untill enough heat to start drawing up flue. Also keep door closed so fire burns slower to heat stove and slow down combustion. Read the manual that came with unit, it may have info.
Regards from South Africa
Keeping some ash on the bottom, insulates it from expelling heat down. Why do you say clean all the ash out?
Aye mate I'm out of Greytown. Nothing beats the feeling of spending time in the bush.
@@Bryan_Kay Howick, Kzn
Needs to be cleaned out!
I love the idea of working with what you have an re-inventing it. The structure is still there…just needs a little TLC. I look forward to seeing future episodes. ❤. PS…you can totally use the leftover flooring for inside the truck!! I feel like you should swap the table & log splitter. That way once you cut the wood you can stack it beside the stove.
I would pay to spend a weekend there!! 😍 Awesome idea to resource this into a private place in the woods…
I heated 2 rooms with the same stove. It took a few weeks to figure it out, I used bigger pieces of oak and maple, once it got going good I closed the flu about 80% ,you have to slow down the burn. You have to keep exit pipe almost closed otherwise all your heat just goes out the pipe.
32:29 exactly closing the pipe keeps the heat in. But this is awesome always enjoy your content and I love camping videos keep up the good work.
You are letting people know you can survive quite nicely. Spending a few days just shoring up your little abode, I'm thinking it will bring much joy being close to nature. I'm a Floridian born and raised in the south, and I do admire a northerners tenacity to live in this cold, cold climate. You deal with bears we deal with Gators and other creepy crawlies. Awesome video, and I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
Yeah snow I can deal with. Giant spiders roaches etc, I'll pass lol
Florida has bears too. My home in miami had a bear alert after fourth of July. It was a black bear but they aren't aggressive. They usually just run. Bobcats, iguanas, snakes, and tegu are...lovely. Haven't seen a panther yet.
At least you are eating healthy
You need a couple of big towels to put down for the wet floor...
You forgot no flies or moskitoes in the winter's cold, it makes up for the cold :D
FYI, the flat cast iron pan can be used as a lid for the two shallow cast iron skillets.
Good suggestion. His 1lb of bacon would've cooked much faster that way instead of putting it in that huge Dutch Oven pot which acted more as a heat sink instead of applying the heat to the bacon itself - it would've cooked quicker in a smaller skillet with lightweight lid of some sort.
I love what you did with the truck! You’ll have a nice place to stay when you’re out on the trail. Perfect 👍🏼
Had fun watching this...every kid needs a secret camp in the woods! Even us big kids! But you need to get yourself some good work gloves! And an emergency kit with wound wash, gauze, and tape. (I'm a nurse and just cringe when I see unprotected hands wrestling with sharp metal and shards of glass.) Like Susie commented below, you have created something my son would have done...he also passed away at the young age of 32. You have a fun little hide-away! Brian's mom.
I'm 45 now, I used to do this stuff all the time. Over the years auto accidents, atv and motorcycle crashes, sports injuries and just random hard headed carelessness has taken its toll on my body unfortunately. But I miss it. I understand that being told, be careful, watch what your doing, be cautious, don't do that alone, it's too dangerous etc can be annoying but from experience it does pay to listen in the long run and overall scheme of things. I didnt have anyone who gave a damn enough to constantly stay on my case about being careful. So @post10 I agree with Darlene Bradley. Stay safer now and get to do it a lot longer.
Agree. I’m envious of this truck home. Would definitely be fixing it up for extended camping days. Imagine the peace just in your own zone.
I’m very sorry your son had to leave a bit early. You are so fortunate to have had him. I didn’t have children and am on my own. You’ll be with him again soon enough. ❤️🇺🇸
Be careful young man! I give a damn! ❤️🇺🇸
Hi Brian's Mom, thanks for your story, hits home
My partner's grandparents used to own a dairy delivery company. His grandfather passed away 20 years ago and she has around a dozen of these delivery vans. We are moving off grid within the year and inspired us to start getting a few of these vans going again and abandon building the tiny home we have under construction. Excellent video!
Gonna abandon the tiny house for a stationary van with no insulation

@@ash.j. I dont care what they do what you do or what anyone does if it makes you happy do it but I was just confused on why somebody would break down a half built house to live in a van and if you have a problem with that then your the problem here 🤣
@@Popcorx Who mentioned tearing down a half built house?, and who said I had a problem? Maybe have a try at some sarcasm, it might help dislodge that stick 🤔
@@ash.j. You replied to my comment trying to be sarcastic but nobody cares for your sarcasm and nobody laughed so go get a life
Good job! Just a tip from someone who has many years in the kitchen. You don't have to fuss with peeling garlic. Lay the clove on a hard surface, and give it a whack. The skin slips right off. I lay my butcher knife over it, but you could use the bottom of a cup or saucepan. It doesn't take much force to loosen the peel.
Looks like a good camping spot! Great job. I think I would have put the bed where the stove is and put the stove farther back. That way you're near the exit in case of fire. Nobody comes there and steals stuff? Cut in some old windows. By the way the stove pipes are upside down. Crimped end down so any cresote that runs down inside the pipe won't run outside the pipe where you don't really want it catching fire.
When starting a cold stove, make a "torch" with newspaper. Light and hold the torch as long as you can deep in the stove and held up as high as you can. Repeat if needed. This will help heat up the pipe to get the air-draw started before you light the kindling.
Good advice
This truck is going to shape up into a pretty sweet little camp as you make improvements over time. And you're right--it does look super cool with the stovepipe already. I look forward to some videos of you improving the setup here!
I just want to know how that truck got way up in the woods like that! You are very inventive !
I am 78yrs old, I find u so relaxing to watch. You describe what is happening to a tea.😮😮😮
Watching this reminds me so much of hanging out with my friends. We'd just find places to explore, build little camps like this, and hang out, talking about anything we found interesting. I really miss it.
Yeah me too. All my friends have their own families and I just want to go back to the good ole days, lol.
@@WV_Raised1983 Same Bro. I got a family to but, I always think about the good ole days and pray my lil guy will create the same memories 😢 damnit I hope we get to relive them times
@@WV_Raised1983 How goes it? I'm single P, nice to meet ya 🤣 I'm 42, just became single for first time in years, and yeah, I miss the old days too. Miss my little family too. Staying busy and gonna do a lot of stuff like this!
@@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001 If things don't change, we all gonna be living this way e eventually haha.....😬
@@masterp2269 good chance it may happen. Gotta be prepared as best you can
A couple of tricks to keep in mind, one is bringing the wood for the day in early enough to melt by the door. Then it's dryer when you split it. And another is a shelving rack for over the back of the table. Helps expand the usable space and a place to sort out your extra things on the table.
@@river4462 That depends on the wood you use. Some woods can last a long time in a fire and some, as the trash wood shown, just go up too fast. A day's worth works for when you already have the fire going so it will be dry in about 3 to 4 hours.
yes indeed ! he will learn. Iam 60 years old and sure have learned by trial and error. more error lol
@@rogermorrill1563 The best part is now that we have worldwide access to each other, it's much easier to learn & to teach!
I always glean new knowledge in the comments! 😊
Should have painted the roof first with rust paint.
Good job! Find some synonyms for "really''. I watched it to the end.
You made the log splitting look easy.
Looks like everything is cooked to perfection. Yum!
This is so cool. I bought a sundog too. If it’s snowing out and I don’t want to split wood outside, I split with the dog. You’ve got awesome ideas. Proud of you. I’m a 68 yr old woman.
Love the simplicity of your rig/cabin! In the old days, 50s and 60s, that's what people did, so you're bringing retro back. Enjoy your adventures. 👍 🙏
He just says “ that was scary” and goes on about his business. I love it. Great videos man. I’ve been a fan for years
Just found him, what a legend 👏
From filming street drains to this. Outstanding. The fact you Purchased the property with the truck on says a lot about you, very smart. You have a stationary camper which you can continue to modify.
So you think itll be warm at 3 am in your aluminum ice box ,with that tiny stove,I suggest you turn your bed away from the wall,your feet will get frostbite off that aluminum wall.
Your log splitter is a great work out device !
And the floor is cold too!
Best of luck to you,but did u know aluminum actually burns!?
Do u have a back door to get out besides the front door?
And boil that creek water,you don't want any parasites or beaver fever!
You should consider elevating the bed on a loft like a bunk bed. It will warm more evenly and closer to the roof is reflective heat, warmer and comfy. Plus you could use under the bed for more storage. You would want your fingertips to barely touch the ceiling when stretching and when seated on bed for feet to hang over barely touching the ground.
Also, be careful about throwing grease or food scraps out in the woods anywhere near your camp. Won't take the wildlife too long to figure out you're a food source!
Yes, but on the other hand, drawing the wildlife in could be a food source in itself.
I would put a .338 lapua magnum in that wildlife. Then eat it. 😋
Yeah way better outside than in there with you
Hardly doubt anything could make it in that tank or that ambitious to break in.😀
@@powaqqatsi8 Animal's are a lot smarter than you think, particularly if they are hungry and they smell food.
Great idea!! Customize an old truck and install a wood stove to keep out the cold and it's fun to watch!! You can camp in a comfortable space.
That's a neat little camp, last forever, great idea. Put a nice awning on outside 👌.
I'm sure by now you have figured out that the stove sticking into the middle of the floor is a pain. Moving the stove parallel to the wall with the door facing the bed will be a nice setup. Might want to put some screen around the chimney top so nothing crawls in. One of those wood stove fans will help.
I wonder how a pretzel delivery truck wound up abandoned so deep in the woods to begin with?
The Keebler elves brought it.
It was probably sold and the owner left it on the property
Youve got mad skillz and the focus to take care of things intentionally. You have a great spot to hang out with everything you need. Ill follow you and im sure it will be interesting. Thanks for posting!!!!😊
Excellent camping spot. You did a great job on the truck. Keep up the great work. Love your channel and I’m so glad I subscribed.⛏️⛏️⚔️⚔️👍👍❤️🙋
A little tip on cleaning the cast iron:
If you don't want to clean while it's still hot, after I cook, I put some extra cooking oil in it while it cools. It helps loosen up all of the stuff left behind and makes it easier to wipe with a paper towel out once you drain it. Plus, any excess oil left behind can be used to season. Kind of a two-for-one deal.
Even better tip for cleaning cast iron: dishwashing liquid isn't "soap," it's detergent. Detergent is safe to use on cast iron. Unless you're making your own soap with fat and lye, the stuff you wash the rest of your dishes with is cast iron safe. It's the lye in *actual* soap that's harmful to cast iron.
@@DonOblivious I use salt & water to scrub with. It doesn't take the oil out.
You can pee in a pan too. The acidity of your pee will loosen material IN A HOT PAN. Wipe the pan clean and be sure to get the pan hot before next cook. Obviously, this is only useful when water is scarce.
The other option is throw away the pots and pans and buy new ones. Depends on your budget...
Just cook, eat, repeat!
I love how genuine you are. Its pretty rare to see nowadays and I really appreciate how much you just be yourself and do things your own way. Please dont take what people say on your UA-cam comments to heart. Theres a lot of bad people in the world and I hope their comments dont get to you and/or make you change how you approach your life. Youre the man, keep up the good work. Happy Holidays.
Your videos are so enjoyable and I feel like I'm joining you every time I watch your videos....keep up the good work your an amazing person!!!!
How did you become so wise at your age? You must have had good parents and grandparents!
My grandma use to leave a boiling pan with water on her stove...helps moisten the air, and actually helps the heat!!
Tuning in for the first time from NH and my only regret is not finding the channel sooner. Love that you bought the land and decided to use the truck as a camp instead of just getting rid of it.
Wow, what an amazing little truck cabin you have, and I'm sure the more you stay there, the more you will work out what you need to get done.
I actually live in Queensland, Australia, and we don't get snow. Anyway, how do you go about leaving/cleaning out the wood stove before leaving the truck?
It is a good workout using the log splitter. Butter gives good taste but you need some olive oil that takes heat and doesn’t burn. Some take the lids off and cook on the flame. Looks good I’d have to have onions in it and a chunk of bread to sop up the juice!👍🏻 It’s a really cool place!
This whole setup reminds me of my Dad. He had a hunting camp that had an old Bookmobile from the 1930s as the camper. Extremely primitive. The Bow hunters in my family have used it for close to 40 years. Not my kind of adventure, but it created tremendous memories/stories for 3 generations so far. Miss you Dad. Thanks for including us in your newest adventure Post 10. Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year to you and yours.
I like that you did most important things first - got the stove, roof & windshield up & running & made sure you had enough wood to get thru whatever was coming, had food, etc. A person never knows what situation they might face.
Well if he runs out of food, he can chew on his own leg for food…lol
Looks like you have a really nice setup! I imagine over time you will keep improving things until you get it exactly how you want it. Well done. Stay safe and God bless.
Your positive energy is infectious! ❤ A manual log splitter is now on my wish list. 😍 I would melt snow on the stove for washing up.
I'm jealous, I'd love to have that old truck on a piece of land. I would be doing the same thing your doing. Keep these videos up, look forward to seeing more, takes my brain to another place which is needed.
To control a more consistent heat and make your wood last longer during the night you need to load the stove and close the door. You will have a more consistent and long-lasting heat. Also try to reduce bringing in excessive snow, as it melts inside and makes humidity that will freeze to the cold walls then melt when you heat up the room.
Good point. Also in using wet wood can crack cast iron. If it cracks over time it will happen on the bottom of fire box. To prevent this stove brick layered on bottom of fire box will preserve it for years to come.
@@lillianleigh7316 Great tip! Thanks!
@@Consmoma awesome 👍

Очень опасно оставлять печку на ночь на тлеющем режиме- можно угореть от СО2
I’m a quiet watcher, but I love your channel, the peace and quiet and scenery is stunning. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️ I’m slowly getting through all your videos
Make a refrigerator, use the inside where the engine goes. Shelves, tint your side door window. A nice little camp. Best wishes
If you close your fire place door, & turn the flu so the air flow is just slightly open, your wood will last longer, & the heat will radiate into the room. Smart to put hard wood in at night, it can last up to 3 hrs. This is So Awesome what you've done here! I always keep a battery operated cd player / radio handy too, for weather reports, & to listen to books / music on cd. You can put snow in the bottom of your ice chest, lay paper over it, & set your eggs & bacon on it to keep them cold.
So Happy your living your dream!
Thanks for letting us all join you. Just loved it. Hope you keep this up!
I love watching your adventures,thanks for taking us along!! Best regards👍🏻😉
I believe the chimney should have been installed at a 45 degree angle, at least, because smoke rises but only if there is there is way to allow it to do that. The ideal position will be straight up so there is no issue with the rising smoke but that is my thought. But I need to say I commend you for taking a difficult situation and making it much, much better for you needs. Wishing you the best!!
