      right! I agree..........apologzing to some judgmental twat is the worst thing that you can do when you're doing the best that you can on your own.......although I was judging him a tad bit, but that's because I'm a female and my legs are way too long for that tub thingy.......and so is his!!!

      I wasn't thinking zombie apocalypse, but I was thinking overall survival, know how and making it happen. You'd be shocked to know what some could not do, if the tables turned on them and they had to make a decision, much less survive! Possessing/having certain skills are just great overall in any aspect of life

    Pretty crafty with the beer kegs. They look great, I like the rolled edges. You should get yourself a "Silicon roof jack", they are designed for high temp wood stove flues for tents, they aren't too expensive, you can permanently install your stove,and close off the PNEUMONIA hole in the roof where your exausting your gasses right now.

  • @KlausHildner
    @KlausHildner 7 лет назад

    Like how you drove the beer "cans" and alu / stainless to the max. Sometimes it's really about the sturdy looks. Keen to see your metal toilet bowl match the urinal. :) Interesting point about redundancy in power sources.

    I just happened across the same model of bus in the Carolinas with under 26,000 miles on it for $9,000.00 and I'm going to buy it and convert it and ride all over North America for leisure as opposed to driving a commercial truck which I've done for the last 31 years.

  • @margemargie9891

    you are truly resourceful. I like the idea of file cabinets under the bed, might try that one in my son's room for storage. and the tool box oh it's side for a cabinet, another great idea. (had a hard time hearing audio on video especially in beginning, but it could be my computer.)

    Hi Gene
    Grate… You did it, not only talking about it, as many ells do, -and yes, -it’s on a low budget, -but, you’re out there, enjoy the life..!
    That’s what counts... me 2, I really wanna do that too, build my own camper buss here in Norway, (I’m only here for working, freelance, earning enough, paying for me and my little family’s life-bills, here & back home in the Philippines) drive around all over this beautiful mountain country, later on when my wife and kids comes up here to visit me, in their school summer vacation, take them around here, go down the road, all over Europe, show them my own home country (Denmark) right now I’m looking for a possible buss, think I found one some days ago.. (an old public local service buss, 10 meters, Volvo 1984 model, $2.250) cheap yes, but affordable for MY project budget. Just to get started, this looks like a good start..?
    Grate lifestile, go on with your project Gene, all my best wishes for you, good luck.
    Btw, me too, had many experience with those beer drums too, nice pissiore..
    What comes in, have to go out again, why not use where it comes from..
