EXTREME Off-Grid Living in a 4 Season Tent & Tiny Truck Camper
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2020
- Brian has been living off the grid full-time with his dog Sierra since 2015. In the summer he lives in the back of a 4x4 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck with a DIY slide out extension, and in the winter he lives in a Big Horn III outfitter-style tent with a wood stove. At the start of his journey, he was working odd-jobs as a ranch hand, landscaping, and doing trail work, but now he earns a living as a digital nomad with his RUclips channel, Off-Grid Backcountry Adventures.
You can follow Brian's incredible adventures here:

Brian keeps his setup as simple and functional as possible to maximize his time in the backcountry so that he doesn't have to go into town for supplies as often. He has Renogy solar panels and a MAXOAK lithium ion battery for power, an MSR Guardian high volume water purifier so he can get water from any stream, an unlimited internet data plan from Net Buddy via AT&T, and a Three Dog DX wood stove from Four Dog Stoves.
We loved collaborating with Brian on this video and are super excited to share his experience with you!
Thanks for watching!

I already followed him! Thanks for the quality content-much appreciated.
i have being following him for long time
You are 2 steps to finding out 1)You need to mouve to a cabin 2) you could shower once in a while 3)You won't have to deal with the other kind of ratts 4) It would be safer against wild animals,many think your their next lunch and last but not least,your would free up less CO2 in the atmosphere.
Good luck.
Bye.

well your wish is about to come true.... youtube suspicious observers "earths catastrophic cycle" we are in a grand solar minimum, we are in a magnetic reversal... enjoy
@Tee Twetherlow Agreed. Plus all these guys run to the cities as soon as they have a problem.
Love the way he treats his dog. He really cares for her well-being and everything. Bet they have a great time together. Awesome!
I had the greatest time with my German Shepherd. She kept me safe and loved. Despite having her own bed, she loved nothing more than to cuddle up against me until she got too hot. I definitely rewarded her!
You should watch his videos. She lives a good life for sure.
You can tell the character of a person by how they treat animals.
@@justinacase2623 Agreed! They are also the best judges of human beings, most especially dogs.
@@krisushi1 yup, they take us no matter our condition or station in life.
You’re never alone when you have a dog 🐶
Brian is a good friend of mine and he inspired me years ago to get my own truck set up. I plan on going full time someday soon. He is the real deal
Thanks Chris! Look forward to traveling with you soon buddy. Life is awesome out here.
Lots of people are going to be living in tents soon, how timely of you to provide this video.
ouch
Life is in tents .
@@camouflagejumpsuit lol
Yep, the simple life.
Yep 40M evicted soon
"Instead of chasing things, I'm chasing experiences." Thank you!
Within the first few minutes his quality of life seems a thousand times better than the typical suburban, 9-5 buried in debt life hands down.
You can live the good life in the suburbs, "chase experiences" with your family and do it debt free. I've done exactly that for 28 years. This "flee from civilization" thing is romanticized, until you do it for 2 hours and suddenly understand the benefits of a flushing toilet, a Starbucks, a hot wife to spoon with at night and some incredible kids down the hall. Don't be fooled by a 14 minute video. This guy may be happy (or not), but his experience is non-normative and not something a normal, happy person would want to do for more than a weekend.
@@powernoodle1224 Whos normal?
@@powernoodle1224 you could just mind your business and realize your normal has also been romanticized for years... but you dont wanna talk bout that.
@@powernoodle1224 Exactly!
@@powernoodle1224 you bring up some good points. Lived like this kinda sorta in my 20s and 30s as a weekend warrior but the fam jam life is awesome
from south africa..... profound statement right there... stop chasing things, chase experiences.... . Life's too short, and you only get one, but I wish I heard that 50 years ago, I'd have realised what I've been trying to do with it for the last 50 + years... To you sir, congratulations on figuring it out..... I salute you
REGARDS
I'm not crazy then! I've wanted this lifestyle LITERALLY MY ENTIRE LIFE! When I was 8 yrs old my little brother and I ran away to go live off the land. (Yes our family camped all the time so we did have experience) We made it 2 miles from our house!! Headed to Oklahoma where we ALWAYS went camping. When I was 11 I read "My Side of the Mountain" I forget the author....but truly....my entire life this lifestyle has called to me! My younger brother also. I've prepared for it all my life...I'm 52 now...youngest child is a high school senior...IM SO READY! And with technology today? It's so much easier in many ways. Great video! THANK YOU.🤞
"My Side of the Mountain" is a fantastic novel that got me into wanting to live in a massive hallowed out tree! Man it's a good read, I should find it and have another go for old time's sake lol
I think I was about 12 when I read My Side Of The Mountain, I wish I had went ahead with the plans I had back then.
@@markcahoon2534 it's never too late my friend, much love
Love that book!
Hi Ladeene06, whereabouts in Oklahoma did you camp? I grew up outside of Wichita, KS and we used to go trout fishing at Medicine Park and camping in the Wichita Mountains west of Lawson. I also fished NE Oklahoma a bunch when I was in high school. I love the mountain ranges in Oklahoma that no one knows about. The eastern part of the state that butts up with Arkansas and Missouri is pretty awesome! ~ Brian
Every dog deserves a human buddy like him. I'm sure both are having a blast
Wonderful video! Been working toward this myself...at 37, and as an introvert who is burned out of a high pressure insurance sales job in the city. I have already sold and donated most of my possessions and now have a nearly empty large townhouse in Salt Lake City that I am preparing to sell ASAP. Have one year left in my work contract, and I look forward to nomadic living like this (and likely building a very small A-Frame house, off-grid in the woods as a simple home base. Keep the inspiration coming! Between channels like this and cheaprvliving...there is so much hope for a different way to live, unscripted! Yes for minimalism, the simple life, the F.I.R.E. movement, and renewable energy!
Go man! I'm from near Canada but visit Salt Lake last year.
I spent 10 years living off grid on my Cannondale Mountain Bike, full Arkel touring kit..... truly a unique experience. This guy is right about everything! Good luck to you and the many years you plan to do this for.
This is what you do when you get tired of the rat race!
Why do you think there are so many out there? In Australia free camping is the greatest thing since sliced bread! From backpackers to grey nomads, it's the life!🇦🇺
The rat race, no matter if you win or lose, your still a rat.
@@justinacase2623 Not if you don't participate!🤔 Anyway, I'm not really crazy about being called a rat whether I'm part of the 'rat race' or not. But I do like to think that I ended up closer to winning than losing.😘
@@krisushi1 would you prefer corporate wage slave? I'm trying to figure out how to stick it to the man!
@@justinacase2623 I hope you succeed my friend!
Wanted you to know that I'm a 76 year old who greatly qppreciates you and your videos. Your efforts to live "differently" is clearly making you happy, and the realization that you don't have to be in the acceptable lifestyle to be succesaful. Again, Thanks for sharing your life 2ith us. Much appreciated!
This is beautiful. And I love how he thinks about his dog's welfare all the time.
I think it’s great how made sure your dog is comfortable.
That was the most important thing for me was to keep my German Shepherd healthy and happy above all else. She deserved it for everything she did for me, including saving my life from hypothermia!
Well said! After all, a good dog is the best Pard you can have on the road.
@@nmelkhunter1 Most definitely!
My son and I have been living off grid in a 32 ft travel trailer for 5 years. We freeze our butts off in the winter but we wear ski suits, have -30 degree sleeping bags and a pop-out wood stove. We have 40 acres of forested land and LOVE IT. We are in the process of circling ourselves in with a series of tiny home type buildings that fit within the off grid building codes for our area. My favorite truck is the Avalanche because the bed folds into the cabin and the truck bed has a removable cover. We put a queen size memory foam mattress and we sleep comfortably in the back with our dogs. Yes pressure cooker because it will shorten cooking times and use less fuel.
I live in a 20x30 shed off grid and my only regret is I never did it when I was young. I take my hat off to you
David Kopp No I brought 1 1/2 acres and built a shed with next to no money: Originally it was 20x20 feet with a 10’ carport: The carport enclosed after four years : anyway easy to keep warm in winter: Run a 12 volt system, so only Bill is rates: If you are young or old like me can recommend it, you learn to adjust your life and you have a lot of fun along the way:
David Kopp well I’m not actually council legal. If you live on over 20 acres you can almost do what you want from what I understand: Depends on state and council suppose:
There are plenty of cheep property’s around. But get one with some good soil: You can live without a lot and after a while you find you need less: A simple life is a good life: All the best to you
20x30 is HUGE
Anthony DeFabees lol. I am talking feet here not meters: Which soon shrinks Down when you move in: I’d definitely plan it a bit better if I had my time over: But it’s better than a cardboard box
You say when you were young. But what age group are you now?
I've been thinking of trading in my RV that I live in full time for a 4wd truck. I love how Brian lives and it's what I dream of. Great video. Thanks!
I must say, you are a very positive person!
Thanks Carolyn! I just subbed your channel and look forward to following along with your travels. Have a great weekend! ~ Brian
@@AsainsAreRapistsDontTrustThem i need a woman like you in my life
Go for it. Don't think just do it ✅
As long as we can come Carolyn, love your hiking videos the most!
I admire you! Instead of working day in day out, you are enjoying the great outdoors!
Thanks Sandie, I sure love living this way! ~ Brian
I used to run into you alot out in 4 mile. I was the guy with the other silver tacoma xtracab camping out of a tent and my truck camper for a few years around BV and Salida. Good to see your still at it.
I specifically bought a tent and tent stove to be able to stay out in the snow and be comfortable and warm in camp.
The Interviewee has tailored his life to enable him to live the life he wants to lead, which is admirable, and Sierra looks absolutely delighted to have her human dad with her all the time.
He nailed it when he said that it was long days of hard work in winter simply to keep his camp supplied with wood for the stove.
That hard work is fully worth every bit of energy expended to live in such beautiful and peaceful environments, warm and comfortable and with sufficient food and water.
My micro adventures will be far more simple, no truck, but a tiny Brompton folding bicycle, a hot tent and an Alpacka Raft Packraft.
What I saw was nothing to what I went through. Almost five yrs on the road and started off with a small sedan with my German Shepherd. I had no real experience to live constantly like that. I never had a palatial tent with wood burning stove, not many ever do. I finally upgraded to a Ford Transit Van which I made into a Motorhome. Going from sleeping in the car across the front seats whilst still sitting to a double bed in the Van was palatial for me but being the one to do everything made it damn hard. You have to remember washing clothes, dishes, food storage and convenient meals to cook. Showering in freezing conditions isn't fun at all. Nor is suffocating in the mid-40°s Celsius. I'm female and was in my early forties at the time which wasn't all that long ago! It's never going to be like you see crammed into a short video. As soon as I saw that tent my jaw dropped. Then when I heard that he gets his items supplied, it made sense. When you first start off, it can be very expensive to buy the essentials. It's only when you've bought everything that it pays off financially. 🇦🇺
Went camping with my brompton a few years ago. I loved it. I'm all about going off grid. Drew up a plan to have a small cabin, where I can either sled it in the snow, roll it on wheels, or float it on the water
@@woomeebly Are you planning on only travelling when it snows or all year round? What you end up with will depend on the weather conditions you plan to be in. There's nothing better than not having to rely on anyone or anything for awhile and just enjoy nature. Good luck.
Why simply say "70"? I'm still hiking mountains and camping and can't imagine stopping any time soon. Go for it!!
ya but you're not living out there are you.
@@powshredder3716 Nope!
@@selectshelley Looks like you've got your priorities right! Keep it up and enjoy as you never know what's around the corner. Carpè Diem.

@@powshredder3716 but lots of oldies but moldies like myself are.
Brian is a rockstar. Everyone should go check his content out!
Thanks Josh!
Just subscribed. 👍
I've been following Brian for two or three years now. I camp in my Tacoma - with a 6 foot bed - 3 or 4 days a week, sometimes more. National forests abound here in the Sierras and I spend as much time as I can in them. The big difference for me is that I like the desert or the coast in winter time. Living this way is very, very inexpensive and even with a smallish social security check I save money every month.
@Kernica1 Sierras are in California. Favorite deserts are South eastern Sierras and Nevada and Utah.
WHY would people give this a thumbs down?
Being jealous is ugly...let it go.
I think maybe it's a mixture of jealousy and just plain childish stupidity!
lol why would people be jealous you can literally go camping outside your house. This guy just took it an extra step lol
@@techfreak111 If our restrictions lasted any longer, I had every intention of setting up my Motorhome and camp in my driveway! Luckily I am hoping nothing will change in the next week as that's when I'll be off.........🚐
@@krisushi1 damn I feel you, been fourloughed for six months, and just this week I'm going back to work.
@@techfreak111 I'm happy for you to be out in the world again. I have to still wear a damn face mask and I live in country Victoria in Australia! We've had one case of the virus during the whole pandemic where I live but still are having to suffer due to Melbourne where the trouble is. I never in my wildest dreams ever could have imagined having to wear a face mask on holiday! I have another that is paid for to the same place but it's just for me and my Motorhome! Seven nights of bliss and 100kms away from my home! I'm not making a date until we don't have to wear these masks. I'm definitely not going to be lounging under my awning in my loungechair trying to drink a stubbie with a face mask on. At least this trip I will be staying in a cabin which won't be so bad. Any excuse to get away. Good to know that your eager to get back to work. Many here were getting more money for staying at home from the government and didn't want to go back to work as they'd be getting their usual wage again. You've given me faith! Take care and enjoy.🇦🇺
We have always had hermits living outside society. Only now, they have internet!
"Instead of chasing things, I'm chasing experiences."
Thank you so much. That really inspired me way more than you may imagine. I admit, I am one of those "gimmick / gear / get-the-best-stuff"-kinda guys... and over acquiring gear, I often fail to do stuff.
SO happy he got featured here. He is such a nice guy and his channel is great. His dog is also probably the most loved creature on the planet! Been a big fan for a while now.
He’s a happy camper. Why question it? He’s got nature, fresh air, his loving dog, he still has connections to the world with his blogging, and warm cozy flannel pjs. Looks amazing !!!!! He looks like he’s a happy man.
I appreciate you and sharing this with us.. My wife and I expect to be in this same situation once our animals have passed. Unfortunately it's just too difficult with the 2 dogs and 2 cats that we have, but we are preparing for this lifestyle.
Best of luck with your winter camping endeavors! I love living this way, it's so much fun. ~ Brian
Resourceful, tolerant and creative. These are the 3 priorities to live this way. Well done. 👍👍
Brian and Sierra from off-grid Backcountry Adventures are a fabulous watch! I’ve been following them for sometime and his content is insightful, fun, really informative and it’s great to see what they both get up to come rain or shine. I loved their adventures in the snow. Definitely check them out whether you’re planning to take up the nomadic life or just want something fun to watch!
Thanks again for finding the most interesting people with the most interesting life styles. Love this.
Thanks for your comment, happy you enjoyed the video!
Totally. Thanks. I love this channel for that
My kind of setup! No need for 'extreme sports' gear, only a fishing rod and camping gear! Fishing is meditative!
*Love Brian & Sierra!!!*
💖💖💖
Hi Lady Alex! Hope your weekend is going good! It's rainy here at camp so I'm spending the afternoon watching videos online while Sierra naps next to me. :)
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures
I love my cats but there's nothing like the love of a dog. I just lost my Mandy a few weeks ago. But she was 16; a great dog who lived a good life. I miss her so... I've been watching you & Sierra for some time anyway and it definitely helps fill the void. 💖
Been following Brian and Sierra for years on their journey on their channel, it's great to see the channel hitting it's stride and things moving along for them. I do some of this part time so it's always been very inspirational. Definitely give them a follow if you like fishing, trucks, trail life, and the Southwest United States!
What I don't understand - if you choose to be nomad, why in the world would you limit yourself to a particular geographic area, and endure harsh conditions? The way real nomads do it is travel with the seasons. I remember seeing a map, that you could basically just travel 48 states and always stay in comfortable mid range temperatures, and get to spend a couple of weeks each year everywhere in the US.
Must be budget concerns and personal choices.
@@laimonasrake8367 Some people love skiing and snowshoeing and winter in general, so they don't want to stay at 70 degrees all year.
@@laimonasrake8367 My longest travelling adventure was near five years long. It depends on the equipment you have, your personal taste for particular weather conditions, the length of time you want to spend in a given place.......
There are many reasons my friend for the decisions one makes whilst travelling. Its the same here in Australia with people following the sun. Put it down to individuality. 🇦🇺
So I'M NOT CRAZY!!!! I enjoyed every minute of this. Honestly the best video I've watched in a long time
This guy's story and lifestyle is so satisfying to watch.
Thank you, Matthew!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures You're welcome. I often tell myself, a man will be satisfied with the simplest things but when he finds a woman, boy oh boy, he tries to satisfy her and ends up forgetting himself, gives to her his world and everything he can find to make her happy and more often in vain. Make yourself happy man, make yourself happy.
Been following Brain for a few year's.. He's living a Dream !!! 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌
Don't chase things, chase experiences. He got that right!
He knows what he really needs and the inside of his pickup is just a "Happy" mess
One day, we'll all have to live like that
If you do, you'll learn alot from it. Been there, done that, 5yrs!

Thanks Mesa, I just finally had enough of the madness and decided to simplify my life down to just the basics. I love living this way and encourage others to live their version of happiness. I really enjoy the freedom the lifestyle allows, it's spurred lots of personal growth which I didn't anticipate. Have a great start to the week ~ Brian

Brian is one of my favorite channels. And I don't camp!
This guy is so much in connection with beautiful nature. Very organized in his tent and it needs almost an whole day work.with a dog like this you avoid solitude and it such a good company.
Well done landscapes views of a beautiful surroundings!
Congratulations
Wow! This guy is living my life!
Full time living this way , wow admirable , more power to ya. Safe out there.
This is my dream! Absolute perfection! I have always wanted to live this way with my dog.
You just need someone to supply it all like this guy. It's alot more expensive when you have to purchase it all yourself. 5yrs straight of experience talking.
@@krisushi1 He doesn't get all his stuff for free. He buys the vast majority of it himself. Or builds it himself. You sound jealous. Don't be a hater.
@@tfcooks I'm not hating, nor am I at all jealous. He stated in the video that he gets given these items as part of his job which is how he earns money. All I'm saying is that it's not as easy when starting off from scratch and building up to where you feel comfortable. I'm perfectly content with my set-up.
This is so beautiful away from the city life noise no phone ringing 24 /7 what a great life i say
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
This is phenomenal. I want to camp with him and Sierra! 😄
Amazing. So refreshing seeing a simple home-made overland build that's affordable and not one of these $300k Bay Area modded out show jokes without a single scratch on them. Nice work, keep it up man!!!
Thanks Max!
Glad u film as u share your living solutions. It’s escape for the rest of us. Thx & love your dog💕🐾
You mentioned you want to go until your 70. I'm 76 and love to 4-wheel and camp. I feel much better when I'm out on the trails. I don't do this full time. Only when I can. My wife doesn't camp and we have 5 cats and 2 dogs. I live in Arizona so I have lots of places to go. Arizona, Colorado. Utah. So don't let 70 be your cut-off... Safe travel..
Wow - inspiring. Love his attitude, his vibe and philosophy. 🙏
I've been a subscriber of Brian's channel for some time and he's a great guy with an awesome dog and it's great seeing all the places he goes to and what he goes through. His videos are wonderful.
What a fantastic way of life,just goes to show how unnecessarily difficult some of us make it.
I'm 40 and whwn I grow up I want to be like you thank you for your inspiration👏👏👏

really love following this guy and both of his set ups!
It’s not the life for me but I envy the freedom and experience chasing 😁 It’s a beautiful world in front of us all
Fascinating to watch - Brian is a great communicator. I love the tent set-up and the van. Wonderful scenery
Thanks for sharing.He really enjoys he life and it show. Safe travels.❤
Absolutely perfect lifestyle. Great!!
Nice Way spending time outdoors & knocking better a country
😊 This brings back some memories. Lived off grid in this exact tent in Colorado with my BF & dog. Suggest anyone who is thinking of doing this to make a list and just DO IT for an entire summer. Give yourself a solid dry run at it. It can be lots of fun but it can be brutal. You quickly find out what you’re made of. As a traveling RN this was perfect for me. This experience confirmed for me how much I loved living grid.
He's great I've been following him for a while now
Thanks for following my adventures, Laurie! Hope you are having a nice Sunday ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures yes and you as well.
I absolutely love everything about this! I am making plans for this.

Nice one mate just moving into my bell tent and van ,was at sea for 35 years so used to 12 volt and small spaces ,good on you very practical approach .
Cool to see him on this channel I’ve always been interested in his story
YES Brian. Be like Brian.
I've been watching Brian's channel for the last year. He does a great job of balancing the "majestic" moments of off grid living with the realistic daily life needs. I highly recommend his channel.
Awesome story, living the dream!
I wish I could live like this. I lived in a tent for almost a year when I was homeless in Montana and I loved it. I think when my kids are grown I am going to go and live in the wild with my dog and my husband I would even have some guest tent when my kids want to visit
Sounds like a great idea!
That pull out is a game changer.
The pickup bed looks very cozy! The tent looks thin though. Lovely to watch this video with you and Sierra.
Nice I wish I could do this without completely alienating my wife, family, and all of my friends.
"instead of chasing things, I'm chasing experiences".
As one nomad to another, thanks for the netbuddy tip! Seriously, that's going to some good use.
Thank you for sharing this video. Lovely. I have been following Brian and enjoying his videos.
What an awesome guy and a great adventure he is living!! I’ll go subscribe to his channel right now✌️😁
Guys, I want to say something. Taking time for yourself is extremely valuable. Just don't forget that we live in a society no matter what, and we should have healthy conversations and experiences with them too. There has to be a balance.
You are my new hero....
The memories of wearing flannelette pyjama pants with snow boots! I would do that whilst making a cuppa outside my Van! Although I never stayed purposely in the snow, the snow boots were great for when the ground was wet in the morning. The wonderful times I had with my dear canine companion Ushi just keep flooding back! When I first started, I had a self made 'awning' attached to a small sedan whilst I slept across the front seats and Ushi got the back. I finally upgraded to a Ford Transit which I still own. Unfortunately my Ushi is with me no longer. Almost five years with just Ushi, and the great Australian Outback. There is so much to see that I remained mostly in Victoria/NSW but it is incredible how you can not just survive, but live! I did it all myself with no previous experience nor anyone to guide me. I'm female, 5'4", 44kgs and lots of determination!🇦🇺
I completely agree with that very first comment. I love being snowed in and alone.
Alright with a great big top of the line tent and a big fire going! Looks great but that's all. There is enough work to keep you constantly going, even in the middle of the night when the fire needs to be stocked. I found this video nothing like my 5yr experience.

I dream of doing this someday. Just making my living as a content creator and completely nomadic. I can live life on my own terms, and have no care in the world. No boss to please, no 9 to 5. Just me, the dog, and the road. Amazing.
I truly love it and feel extremely fortunate everything has worked out. It's been a wild ride so far, I love it! Hope you have a great start to the week. ~ Brian
I admire this man for living his life on his own terms!!!
Thank you, Kerri! I really love living this way, it's restored my faith in humanity. ~ Brian
