A little slow to the party, loving your videos and your cabin. Good stuff!

I loved winter when I was younger. Started skiing when I was 10 years old. That was 1958! Cross country skied as an adult along with Alpine. Would sit on a big rock or log and eat a sandwich. 76 now and I cannot do it with CHF after a heart attack so fun watching you get to do it.

All of you that cook outside in almost any weather! I never do that. Always find a way in my vehicle!

I spent extra $ on a easy packable down coat on sale ( Eddie Bauer) and on Amazon found down pants. Warm up put them on and crawl inside the sleeping bag! What a difference that also makes.

Yep, it’s awesome 👍

Can you tell me the model # of this machine?

Rather than an electric blanket or conventional electric heating pad, a FIR (far infrared) or NIR (near infrared) heating pad is likely a better choice. NIR actually penetrates the body more deeply than FIR, but FIR works by heating stones which radiate FIR, so stay warm longer. Some of the smaller FIR pads run off of DC. I have a small FIR neck pad designed to heat the back of the neck which runs off 12V DC. It’s cord is easily detachable (standard barrel plug), and i can quickly unplug it from the power source and walk around while wearing it around my neck. I find it works amazingly well in my house, and that little bit of heat around the neck does much more than i might have imaged to take the chill off the whole body. It has the added benefit of being therapeutic for sore necks, which is what it was primarily designed to do. I just happened to discover the warming effect. Candles are romantic, but candle heaters sound like a bad idea for your tiny cabin. You're going to pollute the air inside of it, as candle combustion is far from complete. Even with no visible smoke, you’re breathing combustion byproducts. Most candles are made of waxes sourced from petrochemicals. Beeswax candles would be healthier, but expensive. Not to mention the fire hazard of an open flame in a small space like that. Carbon monoxide is a concern as well, as is oxygen depletion. An olive oil lamp might be a bit safer, but would have the same combustion, CO, and O2 issues. A modern diesel heater would be much healthier, safer, and less polluting. That may seem counterintuitive at first, but their exhaust goes outdoors, not into your cabin. They have nearly a complete combustion, so aren't polluting much to begin with. I discovered them last week at the Overland Expo, where they were quite popular, so i researched them when i returned home. The air intake and exhaust are through hoses vented outside; a heat exchanger captures and injects heat into your cabin; your cabin air remains clean. Their high efficiency means they sip fuel. Safer and more convenient than propane heaters. Diesel fuel is more readily available, and much easier to manage than propane. It’s a combustable fuel, but not flammable, meaning it’s safer than other liquid fuels like gasoline or kerosene. It also has a higher energy density, meaning the fuel lasts longer for a given amount of heat produced. Diesel heaters do require electricity for ignition, to pump fuel, and run their fan. But their power budget is very low after the initial cold-start; far less than an electric blanket or heating pad. On a low fan setting, i understand they're very quiet. The biggest complaint about their noise seems to be a clicking sound some of the fuel pumps make. I’m told that they'll run about 30 hours on a gallon of fuel. Many have thermostats and timers, so i expect one could run many days on a gallon of fuel. Running a heater should help to reduce condensation as well. Prices range from about $60 at Walmart, to as much as $200 on Amazon. Pretty much the same burn chamber and heat exchanger technology in any of them, but the external format, controllers, and fuel pumps may vary. Some even have wireless remote controls, or BlueTooth interfaces. There’s a tubular model designed for RVs, and a couple different box-style cases for other uses (e.g. garages, sheds, and even rooms in houses). The latter designs tend to incorporate the former, so are in a larger package. Some people buy the RV model, and put them in their own cases. One could place the fuel tank outside, but #2 diesel (found at most gas stations) typically begins to gel at around 15°F. “Heating oil” or #1 diesel doesn’t contain the same paraffins as #2, so gels at much colder temperatures. Some “winter blends” at gas stations also have lower gel points. Your mileage may vary. There are some anti-gelling additives too. Most fuel tanks seal well, however, and are safe to have inside; no smell. The only concern i’d have is spilling the fuel while refilling the tank, but that should be a manageable problem. With a long enough fuel line and sensible placement, one might be able to move the fuel tank outside of the rig for refueling, in case of spillage. I would make sure to have a clamp on the fuel line hose at the tank, however, if moving it about, from time to time. If one has leftover fuel at the end of the season, it can be safely stored until the next (diesel doesn’t go bad as quickly nor in the same way as gasoline). But one does need to ensure algae doesn’t grow in it, during long term storage. Another option is to mix it into a vehicle gas tank. Diesel will burn fine in a gasoline engine, if its concentration isn’t too high. I plan to install a diesel heater when i build my rig. They’re a safe, economical solution, and being cold just sucks.

Great tips! Looking forward to your next video!

Love the winter camping, such a great experience!

Beautiful build, so inspirational!! Any ida what weight overall this build added to your rig?

This is a great build. Gave me so many ideas for one i want to make one day

Amazing, just amazing!!!

How do you heat and cool the cabin ? Awesome job too !!

where can i just buy one?

Well done and thank you for sharing this adventure with us!

My wife and I are looking for a way to save money on weekend trips around New England, so I've been looking at a LOT of DIY camper videos. I love your kitchen and pantry solution; it's my favorite design so far. I'm wondering if I could make something with a countertop that has two boards/layers connected by a piano hinge, and the top one flips over to cover the hallway area. I'd have to lower the countertop height so it matched the bed frame, but I think it would work. I like you choice to keep the water outside the cabin. I'll probably leave the sink and grey water outside as well. GREAT JOB! Thank you for sharing!

I love, love, love this!!!

This is sweet! I just got a truck and want to start converting it

The hose is designed longer because when you blow down a heavily soiled lawn, your supposed to get that nozzle tip inches from the ground to really blast out the tampered and stomped material. I landscaped for a living for almost 20 years. When you have a blower strapped on your back for 10 hours a day on the spring and fall doing cleanups, you want a long hose so your not bending over all day. Let the machine do the work for you. Sometimes its faster to pull out a rake for tight spots instead of having an extra foot or so hanging off your back fighting to squeeze in

Youare an incredibly talented individual ! Thanks for sharing your vision !

Beautifully done ! Well thought out !

You did a great job love it😊

Rangely is about an hour up the road from me and i have a Tacoma but put a plow on the front of it i have a stipe driveway and it's just me, so this is what i do i ask my brother to help me put on the plow and leave it on for the winter. when a storm comes i plow when the snow gets so high then plow again not waiting for the storm to end. because i got stuck before thinking the truck could handle it. Thanks for sharing your story.

Nice job hun!! I did my first truck a few years ago and decked it out, loved it! Unfortunately, a 94 year old gentleman t-boned it and then swirled around and hit it again, totaled. I just got the replacement and working on it now! Keep inspiring. John 3:16!

I like your wooden doors, but how do you open and close the canopy door and tail gate from the inside when the wooden doors are closed?

The second wall/entry door is brilliant! Well done on your build!

I seen other videos where condensation from people's breath while sleeping a closer camper and it fryed out the chipboard and even had a pool of water/humidity from breath), don't know if it applies to your situation though.

This is awesome! I planned on converting a van, but I'm having a really hard time finding one on my budget that someone doesn't sell right away. I started thinking maybe I'd convert a truck, and this is the best build I've found so far. Good job.

Great job. Well done. Thanks for sharing your build. 😃

Do you carry a set of chains for your wheels??also, do you use a small ax or hatchet??

There are diesel heaters that work. Lone wolf902, has used one as well as others. Will you add a solar panel on the top of your camper??

I love your little cabin! The volume on your video was a bit low. Cute build!

Unbelievable approach. Videocaly and audiocaly are very closest fine touched beauty of Nature by Woodsy ( princess of Great Nature). You can celebrate your victory to listen Song: WHAT A feeling (1983) Singer : Irene Cara available on youtube.

Excellent video Woodsy. Ya gotta love a day spent in some gorgeous woods 👍 Hope you have a great weekend my friend :)

You certainly found a beautiful spot, and what better way to celebrate than with a grilled cheese sandwich! Can you tell that is my favorite! LOL! This video caught my attention through every turn, piece of wood cut and view of the lake, thank you so much for sharing!!

Gorgeous Earth and a Gorgeous Lady with a Beautiful Soul! Raising my children in the Lakota way, anytime they found something they were willing to carry away, I taught them to make a tobacco offering with prayers to the four directions with gratitude. I never expect others to follow this but it is always good to acknowledge Mother Earth when keeping gifts from her. Young Lady I will never get tired of your soft voice and gentle way in nature. Thank You for sharing! That is a great safe stove/firepit you carry, maybe share who makes it and why you chose it in another video please? You and I share one love; steam rising off a cup or bowl on a chilly or cold day! For me whether camping from a hike, motorcycle trip or out of my camper watching my breath in the air as the day break star peeks over from the horizon makes all the pains go away and life so much more valuable. A steaming bowl of oatmeal to start the day helps greatly, but feeling the chill and seeing the warmth of a fire cannot be explained. With Love, Respect and Admiration, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

I'm wondering how you like your portable campfire? It's only $23 on Amazon with high marks for all but sturdiness.

That’s my FAVORITE butter! This video has me smiling, nodding my head and breathing deeply🤩 I loved it, babe! Thank you for sharing space with us and inviting us in🥰 I’m sending you blessings of peace of mind and I see in my beautiful imagination all your needs being readily met. Enjoy this gorgeous weather, sister:)😁😁😁

Make me smile these videos. So warming. Thank you from the other side of the pond. 😊

Do you find it’s difficult to find areas where you can just start a fire in the woods? I’m in NH and there is not a lot of places you can do it unless you’re at a designated campground

Great video. I love grilled cheese sandwich I love cheese lol. I cant eat meat or fish and havent been able to for about 8 years but Im always having cheese xx

Oh Woodsy, you do such an amazing job with your videos..I can tell they are well planned and thought out. Very relaxing. You really have a skill for this. Nature is always inspiring, eh?! We had a nice warm day in the low 50s which is odd for February but this weekend will be the same so I am going to take my van somewhere in the forest and give it a good cleaning and maybe cook some dinner. I have so much to do so we shall see..I'll at least take a country cruise to the lake. It soothes the soul. I used to hike a lot when younger and loved to do so in the winter because the temp is perfect for being hot and sweaty..hehe. I always look forward to being able to see through the trees when the leaves are gone. I'm not a big fan of winter but maybe when I am living the van life, I will feel differently..I think I will. Thank you for another lovely video. Happy trails!

If you add subtitles, it helps your channel and those that don't speak English. like me, I speak Brazilian Portuguese.

Abraços do Brasil

So inspiring, especially because you did it with no skills. A cool build, girl! Happy camping!

Some good time tested tips here my friend 👍

Some pet store receive fish and critters packed in reflective material, they may give it to you. You can also get it cheap at a dollar store. Use it under your insoles if it is really cold outside. Just don’t get sweaty feet. You can put hot rock in a cast iron pot and add the lid. This will radiate the heat in a small area. If using candles, keep the wicks short so they don’t smoke. Smaller flame but less smoke. Candles work best if a funnel type lid is above it so heat gathers and gets super hot and burns off extra byproducts not burned off at the flame. Plus the “lid” radiates heat for better distribution….well for a candle.

You put your little view poles on wrong, they go at the very edge of the blade so you can see where the end of the plow is from inside the truck…. Just loosen them and slide to the very edge and tighten them.

Excellent tips!

Thank you so much and we followed for more!🫶
