    I met Drew in Zion National Park back in March of 2021. We hiked Angel's Landing with a couple of other hikers. He told me he was from Florida and that he had been living in his Jeep for the past 3 years, but I had no idea he was referring to a moving studio! Since I saw the serious camera gear on him, I asked him if he was a RUclipsr and he humbly said yes, but I didn't want to bother him by asking for his channel (i don't know why?!) however I made it a personal goal of mine to find his channel and I can proudly say that after 2 months of watching random travel videos, today I finally found it! I guess I should have put two and two together and just searched for "living in Jeep"...
    You videos are fire! Travel safe and keep up the good work

      My question, being that I also have that winch and would like to know what to look out for, is that it looks like the line broke. But obviously without knowing the details of what occurred I don’t know if the winch itself actually broke or if it was line. Was it an issue with the winch line, or the winch itself? Do do you know what caused the failure? I know that occasionally lines need to be replaced.

    To get weight, use either a Cat Scale (most truck stops) or the scales at any recycling yard. Please note: the front platform on a Cat Scale can be used to get weight on steering axle. Split your axles at the gap between front and second platform. This will give you gross and axle weights. Check with service desk (fuel desk for diesel) for instructions. Should cost about $12.

    2. How do you store drinking water?
    3. How much water is sufficient for you for a 5 day trip(both drinking and non drinking )?
    4.Are you able to find internet in these remote locations? If yes, how?
    5. When you take your car for service, do you need to take whole your setup down?
    6. How do you manage poop? Is it by digging a hole?
    7. What motivates you to leave the comfort of home and take on this kind of lifestyle?

    Epic build, bra! If I could make one suggestion it’s about the solar shower. Cut the end with the spigot off and add a 45 degree fitting sloping downward then add your end cap and place the spigot at the lowest point. This will ensure that you can use every drop of water out of the tank. As you may have noticed, your current setup looks like the tank will lose pressure once it’s 1/2 empty since the spigot is in the middle of the end cap.
    Great camera work!

    I am thoroughly impressed, everything is so well thought out and i love how you made nearly everything yourself. Amazing work. Have you ever considered a off-road teardrop camper? they make them relatively small(4ft x 8ft) and they can go everywhere your jeep goes, not sure if you would want to tow an extra 1200lbs for extra space when you have already done so much.
    For the winch, i would get a high end synthetic line just in case it snaps, that way it wont damage the jeep or yourself.
    I am absolutely subscribing, great work all around, music, capture quality, everything.

    That’s ultimate freedom right there. No place to poop is definitely a deal breaker for me but if you’re so remote that no ones around then I suppose the great outdoors will suffice

    You can get your vehicle weighed at a dump or recycling centre.

    Good morning Drew, you cannot go wrong with the Warn Winches.. they are GREAT strong winches!

  • @montechie
    @montechie 3 года назад +2

    Nice setup! Main thing with the winch is having a snatch block to both give you more options in pull direction (avoiding hard sideways pulls on your hawse fairlead) and to double your max pull strength. Next is making sure your winch and line is weight rated enough for your loaded jeep with plenty of extra (I do double), regardless of brand. If your Quadratech is 8000lbs or more you can probably just get a replacement winch line from someone else. Winch-wise Warns are great, but I've ran a Milemarker for 12 years with 0 issues at 60% the cost and have used their synthetic line for the last 4 on hard pulls without issue.

    You can get your rig weighed at almost any truck stop, they have a scale for trucks and most are pretty nice about letting you use it free. Also any scrap yard has a vehicle scale, also they're usually pretty nice if you are.

    I love the invention of the laptop holder on the bar. I'm often inventing things myself, because I know what I want and they are not available. That is something I would buy if it was patented and available. Thanks for sharing how you put your jeep together to make it livable. I have a two door so it would be a tighter fit lol.

    Not sure if you’ve done it yet or not but you can go to a metal scrap yard or dump with truck scales and have the jeep weighed for free and quickly. The people at them are usually nice and friendly. They weigh the weight of the trucks to determine how much money to pay people for scrap. Used to do that for a living before working on planes.

    I wanted a campervan (a low roof ford Econoline to save money) , and still do very badly, but I always loved Jeeps.
    But damn, I think Im going to get a tiny home somewhere with a small plot of land so I can grow my own food, and have a jeep for my weekend/weekly adventures, and it would definitely be kitted out like this!
