24 Hours Living In Abandoned Truck Deep In The Woods During Snow Storm. Transformed Into Camp

I couldn’t agree with you more! Some videos on here about making a RV for camping from an old vehicle the comments are terrible! People just comment about what the person should’ve done to make the camper “the proper way”. When you make it from expensive materials you end up worrying about damaging something when I would rather be in a tent and have fun without worrying! Lighten up people! I would love to spend a week in this camper! Nice job and enjoy! I know you will! ❤️🍀

[@deweydeese3699]

I'm not an outdoor person, but your camping adventures make me want to be. Too cool that you bought the property for the truck.

[@post.10]

Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pV6YmGCumsipg8U I know that a lot of people are probably going to say this because already a few people have commented this. The metal roof was quickly thrown on as a solution to stop the water damage from happening, but to my surprise the cinder blocks are more than adequate enough to hold down the metal roofing. This property experienced a microburst during the storm yesterday and 47 substantial trees that I know of so far have come down. It's going to be a very long cleanup that I probably won't be able to get to until the spring but amazingly the roof did not fly off, it has very little space to catch wind. Thanks for watching (edit) people who are mad about me pushing the hole in the Catalyst of the stove, this is a cheap knockoff stove that didn't even go together correctly when I was assembling it. If I didn't do that it wouldn't have worked properly even among my initial startup it would just smother with the door shut, I ordered it from China and I got what I paid for but with the entire thing removed it works fine and now heats up hotter. Also the top of this stove is all one piece, the burners do not remove it is a very cheap stove

[@marygraham1676]

Well your probably going to have a lot of firewood for the camp after the storm. Just wondering would you consider some styrofoam insulation on the walls to help with keeping the difference in temp internally and externally? Love the idea for reusing the truck.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Nature's way of clearing the canopy for new growth. You'll have plenty of firewood for a couple of years.

[@davekimbler2308]

Couple of things I’d do , turn stove sideways and closer to wall , co2 needs to be closer to the floor ( the gas is heavier then air ) , one inch insulation ( foam ) on walls and ceiling ( maintains heat better and bunk bed with a couch and chairs and small table ! Perfect cabin ! Once you insulate your wood consumption will go way down and foam board and aluminum tape is cheap ! Plus carpet and split wood outside because of bugs in the wood ! Just some well used ideas I’ve done to my cabin in N. Minnesota !

[@susanpoland5919]

I would use 2nd hand china plates! No polluting the air and in a small plastic bowl with warmish water and detergent - perfectly clean!

[@sannmarc]

CO meter has to be high. yes CO is heavier then air, but it is a hot gas at that moment so lighter.

[@connerblah]

​@@sannmarc You both are wrong. CO diffuses evenly in air; there is negligible difference in density. It's essentially identical to N2 in density (12+16=28 g/mol vs. 14+14=28 g/mol), which makes up 80% of the atmosphere. The temperature difference is also non-existent within a few seconds, at which point it mixes evenly with the air.

Our first winter was in a dilipadated trailer...past 2 winters was an RV with no electricity, no running water, solar. Our first winter we survived with only an ax...and mostly Pine wood. This pine creates ALOT of cresote, especially when it's 19' below or more. Make sure that pine is dry. We learned our lessons well. My dear ol hubby is still out there. He loves the solitude, tranquility, and nature! Cuts down trees, blocks up and drags by sled nowdays. It's how he grew up here on the reservation in his youth and them days it was bowsaws and ax!

@@SensiProductionzBlindDogVideos I am glad I could help as 99.99 percent of everyone here in comments would say too. Having been on YT since the beginning I have a few tips for finding good comment sections. Look at the content. Stay away from comment sections of channels that review things, post opinions, make instructional videos, have a lot of sponsored content, or generally have ANY political leanings. I find the channels that where the content doesn't challenge things AT ALL to be best. Also channels that it isn't about the activities but about the creator. Post is both. Who doesn't like to play in the water? And it's also about hanging out virtually with Post. Take Steve Wallis on here for example. It's just a goofy Canadian dude camping. His comments are usually pretty good because he content is more about hanging out with Steve than anything. Which if you don't watch Post's other channel where he eats old ass food...go check that out. Have a great 2023.

Tip for anyone that wants to emulate something like this truck. If you coat the interior walls with blankets, it will retain the heat inside the truck and help you save wood.

[@DeadCat-42]

I kept getting the super close helicopter visits (to close) Because I raised tropical aquatic plants in my basement. Blew shingles off my roof did $15,000 worth of damage. I got angry and called the FAA to report them. I went outside to get the. Tail numbers but the pilot must have suspected that was what I was trying to do single turned so I couldn't see them (I know the copter belongs to the local sheriff dept. ) What had happened is I was on the phone with the FAA and he came back! I the guy from the FAA was on the phone and didn't believe me when I said ," I could hit him with a rock ' Then he heard the copter outside and said yeah he sounds close .. I replied , I'm in my basement! That's when he damaged my house. I contacted the pilot, at his home I'm a network security engineer so I know everything lol. He wasn't happy about my FAA call! Started threatening me, I said Im an engineer and own a cable launcher and his tail rotor is an easy target, he hasn't come back.. It's been a few years, I'm going to look him up, find out what he's flying currently and make another complaint to the FAA.

A little tip on cleaning the cast iron: If you don't want to clean while it's still hot, after I cook, I put some extra cooking oil in it while it cools. It helps loosen up all of the stuff left behind and makes it easier to wipe with a paper towel out once you drain it. Plus, any excess oil left behind can be used to season. Kind of a two-for-one deal.

[@DonOblivious]

Even better tip for cleaning cast iron: dishwashing liquid isn't "soap," it's detergent. Detergent is safe to use on cast iron. Unless you're making your own soap with fat and lye, the stuff you wash the rest of your dishes with is cast iron safe. It's the lye in *actual* soap that's harmful to cast iron.

[@luv2luv720]

@@DonOblivious I use salt & water to scrub with. It doesn't take the oil out.

You can pee in a pan too. The acidity of your pee will loosen material IN A HOT PAN. Wipe the pan clean and be sure to get the pan hot before next cook. Obviously, this is only useful when water is scarce.

Hi Post, you should never have poked that hole into that plate. It is there to STOP the heat going straight up the chimney so that he heat is trapped in the stove. Either that damper on chimney is not open enough ir you need to see if there is a damper on the unit itself Also you need to clear out that ash in the bottom of stove before lighting a new fire or there must be a riddler handle on the unit somewhere. All stoves make a little smoke when lit untill enough heat to start drawing up flue. Also keep door closed so fire burns slower to heat stove and slow down combustion. Read the manual that came with unit, it may have info. Regards from South Africa

Keeping some ash on the bottom, insulates it from expelling heat down. Why do you say clean all the ash out?

If you close your fire place door, & turn the flu so the air flow is just slightly open, your wood will last longer, & the heat will radiate into the room.

[@ghostfox3560]

A couple of tricks to keep in mind, one is bringing the wood for the day in early enough to melt by the door. Then it's dryer when you split it. And another is a shelving rack for over the back of the table. Helps expand the usable space and a place to sort out your extra things on the table.

[@ghostfox3560]

@@river4462 That depends on the wood you use. Some woods can last a long time in a fire and some, as the trash wood shown, just go up too fast. A day's worth works for when you already have the fire going so it will be dry in about 3 to 4 hours.

Hi Brian's Mom, thanks for your story, hits home

[@FairbrookWingates]

I stumbled upon you clearing flooded roads and now am enjoying you make a winter camp site from an abandoned truck. I like to imagine how I'd turn a bare bones structure into a cozy cabin; cheers to you for actually doing so!

[@JMZVIDEOZ]

To control a more consistent heat and make your wood last longer during the night you need to load the stove and close the door. You will have a more consistent and long-lasting heat. Also try to reduce bringing in excessive snow, as it melts inside and makes humidity that will freeze to the cold walls then melt when you heat up the room.

[@lillianleigh7316]

Good point. Also in using wet wood can crack cast iron. If it cracks over time it will happen on the bottom of fire box. To prevent this stove brick layered on bottom of fire box will preserve it for years to come.

When I was a kid (quite a while ago) my grandparents lived at the beach, they built the cabin in the 1950's. It was an extremely rural area (still is for the most part) there was a chunk of land that had an old school bus turned into a cabin....it was the coolest little space in the neighborhood. Thanks for the memories...I always wanted to go make friends with the hippies. I'd love to live in a place like this.

You are so clever. Your cabin in the woods is awesome. Next trip to the dollar store remember to get a dust pan, coffee mug, tin foil, area rugs, wooden spoon so you don’t scratch your cast iron, any other utensils you might need and a big sponge to clean up melted ice on the floor. Have fun.

[@smc130]

Very good list of things to buy.

[@luminous3357]

⏩ that looks like the inside of a submarine! Please don't leave candles burning while you sleep tho. Also, get that door slider fixed in case you need to do a quick exit for some reason. And put a lock on the inside of the door. You never know who might be lurking. And padlock the outside of the door when you leave. Super fun video!!❤️👍

[@jamesgibson5876]

Another goofy move .. tromp around inthe water and stir up mud to wash dishes in.. not suppose to use soap because cast iron is porus and the soap gets in the pores of tbe metal .. put skillett on the stove get it hot and put some water iin it while its hot ... use paper towel to wipe out then put some oil in the warm pan ..wipe out again ..done

[@jamesgibson5876]

Heat rises silly if the heatvcant go out the chimmne and the door on the stove is open .. where do you think the smoke is gonna go ?.. yup ..out the dooor with the smoke .. dur.. how do you people survive day to day ?

[@shrimptrawler]

You should consider elevating the bed on a loft like a bunk bed. It will warm more evenly and closer to the roof is reflective heat, warmer and comfy. Plus you could use under the bed for more storage. You would want your fingertips to barely touch the ceiling when stretching and when seated on bed for feet to hang over barely touching the ground.

[@catfishm.1361]

It is a good workout using the log splitter. Butter gives good taste but you need some olive oil that takes heat and doesn’t burn. Some take the lids off and cook on the flame. Looks good I’d have to have onions in it and a chunk of bread to sop up the juice!👍🏻 It’s a really cool place!

[@AddictOfLearning]

[@sporty196071]

I heated 2 rooms with the same stove. It took a few weeks to figure it out, I used bigger pieces of oak and maple, once it got going good I closed the flu about 80% ,you have to slow down the burn. You have to keep exit pipe almost closed otherwise all your heat just goes out the pipe.

[@justinjostes2050]

32:29 exactly closing the pipe keeps the heat in. But this is awesome always enjoy your content and I love camping videos keep up the good work.

[@alm7707]

Looks like a good camping spot! Great job. I think I would have put the bed where the stove is and put the stove farther back. That way you're near the exit in case of fire. Nobody comes there and steals stuff? Cut in some old windows. By the way the stove pipes are upside down. Crimped end down so any cresote that runs down inside the pipe won't run outside the pipe where you don't really want it catching fire.

[@alycemaloney2982]

I like that you did most important things first - got the stove, roof & windshield up & running & made sure you had enough wood to get thru whatever was coming, had food, etc. A person never knows what situation they might face.

[@Puddycat00]

Well if he runs out of food, he can chew on his own leg for food…lol

[@Dignityclouds]

Growing up we had an actual RV made out of a truck just like this one! My father designed the entire inside and it served him well! My sister even stayed out there when she’d “run away” from home once in a while! We loved having camp outs with our friends in the field behind our house!

[@CarolynnMc01]

That little log splitter is pretty slick. Never saw one like that. I hope you can lock the place up while you're gone. You have some valuable things in that little camp. I love it! It's totally cozy and great! Best wishes!

Great project. Thanks for including the Celsius conversions. We burn off new stoves and chimneys outside, as the fumes can be noxious. Happy times in your happy place.

[@mikewilson8594]

Also, be careful about throwing grease or food scraps out in the woods anywhere near your camp. Won't take the wildlife too long to figure out you're a food source!

[@coledrevenj]

Yes, but on the other hand, drawing the wildlife in could be a food source in itself.

I'm sure by now you have figured out that the stove sticking into the middle of the floor is a pain. Moving the stove parallel to the wall with the door facing the bed will be a nice setup. Might want to put some screen around the chimney top so nothing crawls in. One of those wood stove fans will help.

[@McBuggs.]

Congrats on your new property/campsite. That is the neatest shelter one could have to camp out in. Once you get those air and water leaks sealed up you'll be quite comfortable. A safe insulation barrier would keep it cozier in winter with less frost and lower stove heat, and cooler in summer.

[@davidrussell8795]

So you think itll be warm at 3 am in your aluminum ice box ,with that tiny stove,I suggest you turn your bed away from the wall,your feet will get frostbite off that aluminum wall. Your log splitter is a great work out device ! And the floor is cold too! Best of luck to you,but did u know aluminum actually burns!? Do u have a back door to get out besides the front door? And boil that creek water,you don't want any parasites or beaver fever!

[@kinskifilms]

I cannot believe how unbelievably spacious that is. With a bit of patching and painting you'll be able to spend many many days out there on the land. Living the dream!

[@2dronetek2]

This truck is definitely the nicest spot you've stayed out in the wild. Culvert was cold and potentially dangerous... The moldy motel with ice on the walls speaks for itself. Get yourself some sheets of reflective polystyrene from home depot, at least around the area where you sleep and the windshield, and you'll warm up and retain heat. You can get 4'x8' for under 10 bucks. Might be good long-term investment if you plan on using that truck more frequently.

[@cbrfireblade3125]

I'm jealous, I'd love to have that old truck on a piece of land. I would be doing the same thing your doing. Keep these videos up, look forward to seeing more, takes my brain to another place which is needed.

[@lynneellis2647]

Good job! Just a tip from someone who has many years in the kitchen. You don't have to fuss with peeling garlic. Lay the clove on a hard surface, and give it a whack. The skin slips right off. I lay my butcher knife over it, but you could use the bottom of a cup or saucepan. It doesn't take much force to loosen the peel.

[@MrSethShoemaker]

The wood stove baffle is so that you get a more complete burn and less particulates in the air. It is called a “non-catalytic” wood stove. The tubes are for preheated air for a secondary burn. Poking a hole could mean a runaway fire and definitely will mean a less complete burn. It may not matter since it looks like you’re far away from most people, but that’s what the baffle was for.

[@johnafagerquist8235]

Awesome video with lots of ideas. FYI: To cook on the stove, you need to remove the round lids so that the fire can heat the pots and pans. Leaving them on is to keep the food warm. I wish that I could find a delivery truck to modify into a small home. Keep the videos coming!!!!!

Well done young man! We grew up being self sufficient. It's a great life, feels so good at the end of the day. Being confident, secure in providing for yourself is priceless. I miss that way of life. Tried to talk my nephew into homesteading as I couldn't do it alone anymore. He likes the idea, certainly the skills to do whatever he wants. I understand him just grateful he let's me in his life. Hope you are careful in choosing a partner to share life with. Hope to see as you grow, expand your life. You're family must be so proud. They certainly instilled great values with abilities to keep you in life. Sadly there's not many capable or interested in what it takes to be free. Their comfort, joy come from internet, games, videos. Ok in moderation but seems as though they're extremely addictive. A good man you are, will always pray for you. You could start a class for people that are interested in the skills you have. I used to think they were natural but learned they're not any longer. You could help people in so many ways, priceless life lessons. People would pay big bucks for even a 3 day weekend or 3 week long experience, education. All the best, thank you for sharing 🙏

Wow! This was a marathon video and my favorite subject matter. Well done! Definitely consider insulating. The exterior is perfect, truck’s in really good condition and the patina lends itself to the setting. Good hardwoods once you get the fire going is a must, and use the biggest piece you can fit in. Mmmm…. I believe you may have compromised the stove cutting the hole in the top. It was smoking because the chimney was cold and not drawing. Good luck! Can’t wait to see more. 😊

[@themechanic9226]

Great conversion! Just a thought I had - could you rotate the woodstove 90 degrees so the long axis would be parallel to the wall? That way it wouldn’t stick out in the middle of the floor and cooking burners would be side by side.

[@cocodojo]

I also was thinking about that as well, since you'd get back some space in the middle of the truck for other things to store. If not a 90° then maybe close enough that you can still open and close the door with no problems, but able to get in and clean out the ashes from time to time.

[@2aminitials]

I'd mount it on the wheel well where the splitter is. Get it higher for easier cooking, and up out of the way. Place the stove door towards the bed so if you want you could watch the fire and sit in bed while waiting on your meal.

[@grandmajane2593]

I've seen a lot of wood stoves in my days and I have never seen one turned closer to the wall. I think you don't know what you are talking about.

Put a small heat exchanger on your flue pipe, will increase efficiency tremendously. Wood stoves draw cold air from outside, create an air supply as near the stove as possible
