2 Years OFF GRID | How I Built My BASE CAMP and Why I Left the CIRCUS #vanlife
After years of performing in the circus, I made a life-changing decision-I left it all behind to build an off-grid base camp in a secluded orchard. In this video, I share my journey from the big top to simple living, explaining why I walked away from the circus and how I created the off-grid lifestyle I always wanted.
You'll see how I transformed this wild space into a fully functional off-grid base camp, perfect for full-time vanlife. I break down what I had to build-from a workshop tent powered by a generator to a wood store and even a thermosiphon gas-powered hot tub.
If you’re into vanlife, off-grid living, DIY builds, ambulance conversions, or tiny homes, this video is packed with ins...

Everything is about to change! This year, I’m finally building my dream Campervan, transforming a retired ambulance into the ultimate off-grid home on wheels. Join me as I take you back to 2022, when I first started this epic camper-van conversion inside a circus storage warehouse. In this video, I’ll walk you through the early phases of the build, ripping out the old ambulance electrical syste...

In this video, I tackle the rollercoaster ride of vanlife with a mix of challenges and excitement! First up, my trusty transit van has broken down, but that’s not stopping me. I’m diving headfirst into converting an Iveco Daily ex-ambulance into a fully functional home on wheels! On top of all that, I’m coming out of retirement from the circus to create an exciting new touring circus show. Join...

    2nd video of yours I’ve now watched and enjoying hearing about your journey. I’ve been fulltime vanlife in Australia for 4 years and one day when I’m ready to sit still I would love a property like that with a workshop to tinker in and land to grow food and be away from city and all it’s pressures.

      I got lucky with this spot to be honest. I don't own it, but I am paying some land rent. Managed to find myself talking to the right person at the right time! Equestrian land or Farm land can often have some unused little corners...

    Awesome, interested how you manage to live on the plot in your van, had any issues with busybodies reporting you? I'm considering doing something similiar but from what I've read there's a 28 day maximum per year on a caravan / campervan occupying privately owned land

  • @Ulbre
    @Ulbre День назад

    It's still van life even when you're on property (I'm assuming it's your own orchard). Everything you do on that property improves your own skill set. Having the land means you can put in as much solar as you want and eventually, together with water catchment, become almost off grid entirely. The workshop is a brilliant way to build a budget workshop and I can see you making some unique furniture items in there that you could sell at markets......I bet the ladies will make up 80% of your customers!!!

    Awe!! Hello August. So glad to find your channel. Your going to grow quickly… I can feel it! Lovely energy ❤ I am an avid van life video watcher from Washington State, US . I bought an old 1977 Ford van with a high top 2 years ago. She’s and old rusty bucket with a lot of charm and suitable for camping trips up the local logging roads near home. Little house on wheels. I haven’t build anything to permanent inside because of leaks between the high top and the frame. Can you or anyone else here reading recommended a good sealant?

    • @TheDakteris
      @TheDakteris 3 дня назад

      I'm pretty shocked how well this video has been received to be honest! Thanks 😊 It's hard to give you any tips on fixing your leak without really seeing the problem. I wouldn't want to suggest something that would end up trapping water and causing more rust! I'm sure you will figure something out

    • @jacquelineg3987
      @jacquelineg3987 2 дня назад

      @ fair enough!! You’re right about those channels that let water flow. I used some silicone sealer… which melted away next day for not having time to cure, then JB water weld and that wasn’t very helpful either, but better!! It’s the van life algorithm that spreads the news/ and or just some good people we can support. I follow several people who I am intentional about all the buttons. I’ll give someone all the comments and thumbs up if they get paid for content.
