I LOVE IT!! IM 70 AND STILL WANT TO DO IT!! 👍🏼❤️ Yep! Girl in the woods is awesome!
I hope you go for it!! 💜
Just do it.
Your truck cabin is perfect! Also wanted to say you have a terrific way of presenting that is calm, funny, a bit quirky and all combined with the perfect amount of information. Your "presence" is great. Best wishes on your RUclips channel!
Awe, shucks! What a sweet compliment. Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind comment. ☺️
Yes she absolutely lovely ❤️
Someone may have suggested this but I’ll throw it out there - leave a “service loop” on all your wiring. A little extra in case you need a splice, or something breaks. You’ll see those on telephone poles. There’s always a loop of wire they can use to fix a broken connection, or to splice. Nice work, and great videography too! Be safe..
Thanks so much for this tip! I’ll keep it in mind for next time. Cheers!
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!
So inspiring, especially because you did it with no skills. A cool build, girl! Happy camping!
Thanks so much for your kind words! Happy trails!
I'm a carpenter and I think your build is close to what I would do. Love the high top, some shelves along the walls with brace along the front to keep things from falling out. Can good's, 😎, small ideas . Sconce lighting for the homey look, hooks to hang stuff, a warming picture 🖼️ on the wall. Don't be afraid to spruce it up. It's really quite nice 👍. Impressive.🏠
Thanks for the ideas! I do have some shelving to put up. 😊 Happy adventuring!
Very nice build, enjoy all your hard work. It's impressive for sure.
Thank you!!
I love brave people like her
Thank you!!
I must say that improvising your kitchen was actually a stroke of genius. Love your little cabin.
Thank you so much!! Very kind words. 💜
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!
Wow, this looks absolutely amazing my friend! Definitely has that cabin vibe to it for sure. You absolutely knocked it out of the park with the designing and building of this! What's equally impressive is that this was your first build... extremely well done! Love your addition of the "recliner" too 😉 Absolutely stellar video by the way 👌 Proud to be a member of your growing community here Woodsy!
P.S. Huge props to you for giving Brooke credit for the inspiration of the doors. You're a class act my friend 👍
Well hey there! Thanks so much for watching John! I appreciate you encouraging words. It’s so nice to see you popping up in the comments!
@@TheWoodsyWoman Absolutely my pleasure Woodsy!
Congrats on 1K+ subscribers btw... well deserved 👍
We added a memory foam type shower mat on our truck floor. it’s not only warm on the feet, but helps the knees when crawling around on the floor.
Nice idea!!
Awsome camper , great personality!
Awe, shucks. Thanks so much!!
Nice and clean and roomy.
Thanks!
Well done. I prefer a kitchen inside for bad weather. Seems like wasted space. A part of it you could have made a private bathroom space as well.
Thanks for sharing
Cool ideas. It’s certainly a trade off. Happy camping!!
Beautifully done ! Well thought out !
I love, love, love this!!!
What you did is very impressive…I bet your house is very cozy and organized…
Awe… thank you for such kind words! And yes… it’s true, my home is very cozy and on its way to getting organized 😉
Love it!
Enjoy and be safe out there!
Thank you!!
Excellent build!!!
Thanks so much!!
Only thing I would add is a mini cubic wood stove and I’d be in heaven 🥰
Oh! I know. It would be amazing! I’ve thought about it but I’m not sure it would fit?
I enjoyed your video you’re a very talented and likeable lady, your cabin is gorgeous congratulations. Your book for the wolf I’ve just started reading that book good luck ❤
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy the book!!
I love how cozy your place looks.
Thank you for your kind words!
I love your build. It’s cute and very planned out. I love the light wood color. Great build💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Awe, thanks so much for your encouraging words! 💜
impressive. I love the materials you have chosen. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words!
Just started my truck build. Your tiny home out great. Inspiring to say the least. Turning 60 this year, first thing I've ever built a well 😊
I love it!! Thank you for your kind words. I’m excited for your journey. One step at a time! 🛠️ 🙌
The woods is my toilet too. We have too many options in this world. Coffee Shops, Hardwsre stores, Gas stations, and woods. Nice set up!
Thanks so much. Cheers!
Well done and well presented.
Awe, thank you!!
personal touches * cool rig!!
Awe, thank you!!
I love your little cabin
Thank you!!!
Super nice.
Awe, thanks!!
You had me at whiskey 😂
🤣 love it!! Happy camping!
Very nice, great job
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job.
Thank you!!
You came across my you tube feed because of your awesome build. I am subscribing because of that and because of the cribbage board in your drawer. I've been playing cribbage since I was 7 years old, 60 years, and know that cribbage players usually have something interesting to say. Also, I spend a lot of time camping and sleeping in my pickup, it's my favorite thing to do.
Awe, thanks for your kind words. I love to hear that you are out adventuring in your truck! I must say I’m a bit new to cribbage and only learned a couple years ago but I’m glad I know how to play!! Glad to have you here!
if you cut the wires shorter, as appose to bundling them up you will minimize voltage loss, creating a more efficient system.
Thanks for the tip!!
Great, love your build and your encouragement to others. Thank you.
Hi! Thanks so much for your kind words! It’s my pleasure to help encourage others. 🤗 cheers!
Great job!
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic Job. Very functional. That garage area is fabulous. You've used every nook and cranny as you should have. What I think I like the most is, when the truck is all closed up, shell door down, tailgate closed, it's just a truck with a shell and nothing more. Very stealthy !!! This channel should be monitized in no time now. This video was suggested to me. I subbed, rand the bell, liked and as you posted a comment for the algorithm. Great Job, soon it'll start paying off.
Thanks so much for your very kind words!! I’m so glad you like it and subscribed! Glad to have you here.
So well done. Thanks for sharing your awesome space.
Thank you so much for your kind and gracious words! Cheers!
Great job on the build. Thanks for posting 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!
Cute and tidy, travel well!
Thanks Kelly!!!
Love your flower box! Everything is so cosy❤
Awe, I love it too!! Thanks for watching and for your kind words!!
What a neat little cabin/camper build.
Awe, thank you!!
Great Build. Enjoy The Journey!
Thank you so much!!!
I really like this style with the topper with it. Like honestly if you wanted to stealth camp just put some paper or something in the window and close it and then you aren’t like completely shut out from looking out for other things when you have it open. That’s kinda what I would do with it personally. But yeah this is a really cool build.
Cool idea! Thanks so much for your kind words! Happy trails 🌲
Amazing! Great job!
Thanks so much!!
I have a pickup shell and would love to do this! I also love the Gypsy Wagon the, “Girl in the Woods”, made! I have a two wheel trailer for that too! You have given me the inspiration to do this!
I LOVE reading this!!! It sounds like you’re already on your way, I’m rooting for you! Take the next step, and then the next, and then the next. Before you know it, you’ll have the project completed. And, I too, like the vardo the Girls in the Woods made! Cheers!!
Thank you for the excellent presentation on your build. The interior woodwork on the shell makes for a very cozy and attractive space.
What kind words. Thank you!! And thanks for watching. Happy camping!
Cutest truck tiny build that I have ever seen!
Awe, shucks! 😊 thank you!!
Very thoughtful design
Thank you!! Cheers!
Love this set up !!
Thanks so much!!
Very cool and cozy little camper. Very simple but functional. Thanks for the video and for sharing.
You’re welcome! Thank you for being here for for watching! Happy trails!
Interesting build, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!
Very nice!
Thank you!! Cheers!
Love your build!!! Simple, practical and definitely a cabin vibe. Having that long open counter does give you better options for use. Well done. Agreed that adding a more fortified/secured door would be a must if you leave your tailgate down while out camping. Adventure on!!!
Hi there!!! Thanks for your feedback and kind words. It’s wonderful to hear when people like what you’ve made. And I agree, I need to beef up the lock in the door. Might just be a video in the future. Cheers!!
The van is a 2007 Chevy Express, and used as a mobile bike shop at times.So that is the problem, as I have tires hanging off the walls most of the summer, simply so that I'm not spending a lot of time loading/unloading. I definitely do want to finish off the walls, then again... tires HA! I may just start with the bed, adn finish off a box over one of the wheel wells. Although I am retired, I still have the shop open part time, and in a bit (whatever that is) will simply close it. So truthfully, it will be very difficult to do anything while the shop is still open. HA! I like the ideas though, and like you, have watched a TON of videos, with of course yours being my favorite.
Awe! Thanks! A mobile bike shop sounds really rad!
Really cool and smart use of space!
Awe, thanks for your kind words!
Great job! I'm glad you have a toilet. It may be raining and then nature calls! It looks real nice. I like your outdoor kitchen but,yes,if it's raining,it may be a little difficult. Is that a fantastic fan on your roof? They're great. Looks like a nice weekender van for me. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so much for your comments! I have a maxx air fan on the roof. It works great but I have had some leaky problems with it. Thanks for watching and happy adventuring!!!
Just found your channel. Cool build. Impressive!
Thank you!!!
This is so cool
Awe, thanks!
Beautiful job, dig your rig, some very clever work, well done.👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Thanks for your kind words!!
Cool build. I was kinda just gong along with the talking into the camera, heres my this and that.. though perked up at 18:07.. Ohkyaee. Whisky warmer 🥃 now shes not so boring.
Ahh, whiskey 😉
Loved your video!!
Thank you so much!!
I love your build! I’m really impressed with your craftsmanship.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!!
Awesome!
Thanks so much!!
You did a great job love it😊
Love your cabin!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome job that’s one fine interior
Awe, thank you!!
Love your designed space.
Thanks so much for your kind words!! 🌲
Love everything about your little cabin. Girl in the woods is awesome. I could love this little escape vehicle, good job. ❤
Hey! Thanks so much!! I’m so glad to know you like girl in the woods as well! Great stuff! Thanks for watching!
AMAZING! My friend, you are so talented!
Thank you!! 💜
Gorgeous and so spacious
Awe, thank you!!
Nice job! Love your cabin build. 👍
Awe, thanks so much for your kind words!
A true masterpiece you built !! I see everyone saying simple but honestly it's kind of complicated to be able to puzzle in perfectly all those different components you have working together to create that highly functional space. You took it to the next level though aesthetically beautiful and looks like it will last a long time with the materials you used. I have a minivan no build I just don't have the skills or the patience to put something together also for me it was important to be able to easily convert back to a family van in case I had to ever sell the van. I do have a box trailer I would love to put a build in it but it will probably end up with no build as well. Thank you for sharing your wonderful camper !! You hit the ball out of the atmosphere there
Awe, shucks! Thank you for your gushing compliment. I’m so glad you liked it! I think no build conversations are so smart. Way to go. Stay safe and happy camping!!
Awesome stuff and great job. Keep going!
Thank you so much!!
This is pretty great.
Thanks so much for your sweet words! And thanks for watching!
Love your build !
Glad I found you on you on RUclips ! Love the kitchen / awning set up
Awe, thanks for you nice comments!! And thanks for watching!
Very nice build! I love how cozy it looks!
Thank you so much!! It certainly is. Cheers!
You did a great job!
Thanks so much!!!
I have just now come across your channel and am I glad. I have a pickup with a aluminum topper which i use for camping. I have not done any building of the inside other than a very simple frame for my bed. I love what you have done with your "cabin" and will quite possibly use some of your ideas. I actually have a stack of shiplap lumber that would work perfectly for he interior making mine a bit of a cabin as well. I will now go to the build video and watch it. Thanks for sharing.
Awe, thanks so much. I’m glad to hear you like some of the ideas. It was a fun build. If I can answer any other questions, I’ll try to do so!
Nice build 👏👏 I did a 10x6 tiny home trailer last summer. It was my first tiny home build and I’ve been building things for years. I should have done it long ago. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever built.
So cool!!! I have a tiny home build on my list! One day. 😁 thanks for watching!
you did a great job
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Just discovered your channel and love it!!!!Subcribed
Awe, welcome. Glad you are here!!
Very cool. Been thinking about this for a awhile now. Nice job.
Sweet!! I hope you go for it if you can. It’s a lot of fun to build. 🛠️
❤ great job
Thank you!!
Love it!!!
Thank you!!
I'm impressed to hell..for real..well done Woodsy Woman..
Thanks!
Cool camper/cabin build!😮. We all have the same issues that need to be addressed, and different ways to address them!😊. Great job!❤
I agree! It’s so neat to see how many different solutions there are to the same issue. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words!
@@TheWoodsyWoman😊
Your cabin looks great!
Thanks for you kind words and for watching!!
Great job
Thank you!!
Your truck cabin is gorgeous. Great job. 👍
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you watching and your kind words! 💜
I like the idea of a compact camper for overnight camper nice job 🤙🏽
Thanks for your kind words!!
I love it and she was pretty cool. Hope she enjoys all her journeys 🌱 🌳 🏝🐚
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!!
Stunning job on the cabin, Woodsy, well done.👍 Just thinking for a safety feature, if you ever had a sketchy situation where you had to leave fast, I worry that you would have to leave the cabin and go outside to get into the drivers seat. That may not be safe. Why not make those windows behind your bed into sliders so you could use them to get to/ slide into the drivers seat without going outside? This way you stay away from any unsafe people/situations and can drive away safely. Just a thought! Safe travels.
Thanks so much for thinking about my safety! Just so happens they are sliders! I didn’t really show that feature in the tour my in a pinch I could probably slip through to the front cab. Thanks for your kind words and for watching!!
Great to hear, my mom “safety first” sense always leads, lol! Have a blast and stay safe!🚙🏕️
I was wondering the same thing Woodsy - being able to access the drivers seat in a hurry so your answer put my mind at ease . Have you tried it out yet - getting into the front from the back ?
I haven’t tried it yet! Might be a good idea to do so. Thanks for the encouragement!
Another gorgeous woman showing the world; You aren't just a pretty face!
Decades ago I built a frame in the back of my 89 pickup under a topper. I fit a three drawers underneath of my single mattress and saved money for my rodeo trips. Not having the hotel bill was a God send. Now I am refitting my 27' camper to be my toy hauler for my motorcycle which has seen more miles than my pickup. No Young Lady I am not bragging, I am letting you know from my experience as an old cowboy biker that works as a carpenter how much your camper/ home impresses me.
Multi function is the key to living small. Yes all that have partners have sat on the throne and carried on conversations! Not in the beginning but it will happen.
Your build is ingenious and survivable! Too often folks over think and over do when all we truly need is the basics. Even from my days driving OTR trucking I couldn't pee or poop in my sleeper ( ya don't **** where you sleep)! In an emergency I can understand but as healthy humans we clean up and clean out immediately because smells do linger.
Great video and great build! Last year I took a trip to Maine with 11 other kickers for the fall foliage and I love your state! The only suggestion I might make; I enjoy a steaming bowl of oatmeal in the morning as I watch the sunrise. My trusty JetBoil stove is safe for your kind of camper and would make a terrific cup of hot chocolate for colder eves without having to get out to heat water. Plus in an emergency or bad weather you could have a couple dehydrated meals stored just for the situation.
With so many utubers making videos and pushing products I enjoyed you and your video and will subscribe just to see your wonderful smile. Thank You!
With Respect and Love, You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Hey there! Thanks so much for you comments and kind words. I really like to jet boil idea. I was just out in a snowstorm and thought it would be nice to have a cup of hot chocolate and not have to get out of the cab. Maybe down the line! I like oatmeal too, but I have to tell ya… cream of wheat is where it’s at for me! I’m so glad to hear you love Maine. I do too!! Happy camping!! 🌲🏍️
You really did a great build. I do have a question, people often say they don't like cooking in their van, but for me I love cooking in my van, I've lived in my van for 9 years and cooking in it is my happy place.
Thanks so much for your comment. I’m so glad you like cooking in your van! I think if I had a bit more room I would have put in a place to cook. It’s just so tiny that I thought it would be a hazard to add it. Happy camping to you!!! 🍳
PRETTY ! LOVE THE WOOD, LOVE THE DOORS, I NEED A MICROWAVE, SOLAR PANEL, HEAT, YOU DID A GREAT JOB, LIKE THE LIGHT TOP VERSES THE HEAVY FIBERGLASS TOPS, IT IS A HIGH TOPPER AS WELL ! CHEERS !
Thanks so much for your kind words!!
Woodsy Woman, I love your truck 😊!!!! Very talented 👏!! Yours is definitely the nicest one I have seen like that!!! Very well done 👏!! I'm sure will enjoy many exciting adventures in that truck 😊!! Stsy safe, have fun, and enjoy Happy trails 👣!!! 😊!!!
Awe, thanks for you kind comments! Happy trails to you as well!
I've been debating if I wanted to do this instead of a van/suv. Great build out! 💚
Oh cool! Did I inspire you at all?! A van build out is also really neat. Happy planning!! 📝
