    Woman.... you never cease to amaze me, but more importantly, inspire me! I'm older, and we sold our farm, but I just bought 4 acres of woods, (just for a camp-out spot) and am helping build things for the first time at 63!

I get home watch your videos and it's all such an intense feeling of relaxation and just pure awesomeness. I totally forgot I was still sitting in my car when the music played near the beginning. Thank you for being you and sharing such awesomeness into my life 🙌🙏💖

    OMG, sooooooooooooooo cute! From the black to the wood to the patterns on the wall, floor and bed. PERFECT! And being able to clearly see out of it. My Dad & Momma ( R.I.P. ) would have loved your channel the way I do. This just melts my heart!

    This is NOT designed to be pulled behind a vehicle.
    I pulled it on gravel roads and went very slow with my ATV for testing. If you wanted to transport it somewhere you could load it onto a flatbed utility trailer and take it there for delivery. This is simply meant to be MOBILE- in that you can move it around as you wish. This is meant as a backyard camper or let your imagination run wild- greenhouse, office, spare guest room, mobile chicken coop, etc. OR build it without the wheels on a permanent foundation (blocks)!
    Park it in the SHADE so you don't get cooked! Haha But shoulder season- that solar effect is going to feel GREAT! I hope to see lots of these built!!

    The cooking can be outside.

    Have several coolers in your car. You are set to go.
    You could always do a sponge bath if there are no showers around.
    Enjoy your adventures.

    Watching you finagle those axles and wheels took me back to when I was a kid and we'd build these home made "cars" we called buggies. A 2 x 12, a couple of 3 foot 2 x 4's to attach old baby carriage axles and wheels to we scrounged from the dump. A carriage bolt through the front axle assembly and 2 x 12 so you could steer it by pushing on one side or the other of the front 2 x 4 with your feet. Then race them down the long hill near our house. It's a wonder one of us wasn't killed. At the bottom of the hill was a T intersection with a fieldstone wall, and of course there were no brakes. 🙄

    I watched your live the other day and I loved it!!! Thanks for sharing a bit of Da Woof!!! It was so nice to see her. I totally understand when our pups get to an age where they are just not as active anymore. I have a 14.5-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Oliver, who we have recently brought to the vet to find out that he hasn't been feeling himself because he has such pain in his back and knees. Put him on some good pain relief along with other meds for his ears and he is like a new dog. Not like he is going to run a marathon but he is so much happier and a pep in his step has certainly been more evident. I subscribed to your son's channel and I am so looking forward to his adventures.

    I enjoyed watching you build that little building, it gives me hope that I to can build a little building. I have a chicken house to build and this inspires me. Thank you.😊

    Amazing FUN video! Loved every second of it! You could build another to auction off to a viewer - you set starting bid, I bet someone would pay
    $4-$6,000 maybe more. Super fantastic w/clear ceiling!
