love mine. picked it up used to deal with light snows on 100-150' gravel driveway. I have a TRD OffRoad so I had to flip the hitch mount upside down to reach the ground, but works perfectly. Great video WW!!!

I have an old Troy-bilt Storm Tracker 1028. It has to be fifteen years old. I have used it three times in the last week. The lights still work. This thing is a beast.

I used Reflectix on my build, it was the worst decision I ever made... Reflectix is a moisture barrier not an insulation and in my case it kept all the moisture in dripping on me and my6 expensive electronics costing me a ton more money... Of course I didn't cover it with anything like you did or had any fans...

Love the build! And love that you are doing it in Maine!!! Seems like most videos of this sort are in the west!

It would do better on the front of the vehicle. There's more weight in the front. The rear will start to "come off the ground. Do smaller chunck. One pass down tho whole driveway is to much 🙏

Snow Plow ?!!! yeesh

You did a really great job. I adore the wood look.

I like this camper! The only thing I don't like is the two different sized windows in the back. It looks kinda weird like that. I would've made the windows both the same size. Other than that, the camper is really nice. You did a good job! 👍🏽

Don't fear the toilet.

Looks great. I'm impressed with your adventurous spirit. Your build is cute, you're cute, and you're bush broke. That's a good quality in a woman. Especially in the woods 😊

Battery-powered equipment has come a long way, but they aren't capable of clearing deep snow. A little advice from a 75-year old Buffalonian, change your oil yearly, grease your augers yearly. You can use synthetic oil if you prefer. Use ethanol free gas, if available, and use stabilizer in the gas. Happy snowblowing.

Loved your build. I wanted a van but my truck is paid for and I figured I'll just run it until it can't run anymore. 2005 Nissan frontier with only a 5' bed. Unless I put the tail gate down that is. I just bought a 6' bed topper. I wanna figure out a way to do something like what you did but maybe the tailgate stay permanently down. The removal of the tailgate also gives me an idea. If you have any ideas let me know! Thanks for sharing. Very well done.

Woodsy Woman, Great Build. I Have Planned & Designed My High Back LEER 8' Bed Pick Up To Do What You Have Done. I Will Spray Foam The Interior Then Cedar Wood Panel Boards & LED Lighting. For Safety Will Cut Into My Cab & Put A Sliding Door. So When Sleeping & Need To Leave Any Location Can Do So With Ease! Having To Get Out Of The Cabin Bed To Get Into The Cab Presents Security Issues. 2 Solar Panels On Top That Will Pull Out & Fold Down On Side Walls Of The Cabin Will Allow To Get Into Parking Garages. Having 2 Lithium Batteries Will Provide For Lighting & Running Chest Freezer/Refrig & 2 Burner Range & MAX Fan & Computer & Coffee Pot & Blender & Micro Wave! Will Have Air Conditioning & Heat System! When Running The Truck Motor Parked Or Driving, The Batteries Are Switched Over To Keep Them Charged. This Gives You Options On Overcast Days! Will Have A Pull Out Toilet! The Advances In Products Today Have Really Come About For Anything One Needs On The Road🛣24/7.

yes iI have also got a lot of inspiration from Girl in the woods!

It's perfect! This is something I will eventually do in my future. Looking forward to that day. In the mean time I'll be looking to youtube to build my own cabin for my truck. It was such a pleasure to watch your journey and hope I will be able to see more.

Nice, but you can’t even sit up straight. That’s tough on you.

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 :)
