DIY COUCH - Building Our Own Furniture | Life Off Grid w/

[@sherryrorabaugh3359]

My grandpa said....there are two things you pay good money for....Your boots and your mattress, because you spend half you life in your boots working and the other, sleeping on your mattress. He was a farmer. Your video made me remember that conversation. If only we could make life that simple. Just sharing. Love you guys so much!

[@nonamenoname7656]

Thank you for sharing 💙

[@deeanna5814]

Great memory. It still holds true. Thank you for sharing.

[@mjmcinnespoems]

Verry nice comment💐

[@ashg5079]

I honestly cant think of a more gentle wonderful ear than Dana in your time of need. What a gift.

[@TXMEDRGR]

As an old man with an old dog, I love seeing Camp enjoying his old age. Thanks for sharing.

[@Sunshine-kn6or]

Princess Kamp is the best!!! Love him. Love Elsa and Barron!

[@jenniferhoaglin566]

That Precious Little boy had a purpose....that Hug...to heal something inside of both of you.💙💙💙💙💙

[@tracy-wb-7]

Barron sniffing the mattress and getting “high” was hysterical! Also, I’m so happy that you had someone to talk to and help you process your emotions. I too went through something similar (like so many others) and am sending big virtual hugs. ❤

[@alicecain4851]

"My life is exactly as it should be." I'll admit to crying through a lot of this video. Hearing you say that - and going back to listen to it again filled my heart. I'll always be glad I found you both.

[@Usachatnow]

What a great treat to wake up too, love you guys and every time I see a new video it’s an instant must watch. Elsa I’m proud of how far you’ve come since your miscarriage. You and Barron are going to be excellent parents

[@mamapetecooley7324]

Your community is wonderfully, heart warming, healing, encouraging. Thank you for sharing with us. I laugh and cry with you.

[@lwitt8448]

So well said....

[@katymanganella3476]

As I was watching the first few minutes of this video, I noticed how lovingly you captured Max. And I had the thought that you were showing us part of your own grief by how you were showing your tenderness towards him. Thank you for being so open here. It's a real gift to give the Internet and all of us who care about you, even though you don't know us. ❤️ Ps- I also have a baby Max who is 9 months old now and we had him after two years of IVF. Sending love.

[@orangeskythinking]

Hang in there Elsie… You should be so proud of your home. What a space/location. Take Care.

[@orangeskythinking]

Soz - Elsa! Auto correct needs to calm its jets! 😂

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Wow! What a Sunday. I've had Hannah Lee Duggan, Isabel Paige and now Elsa and Barron to indulge in. Sometimes I feel like God loves me extra special. To Elsa, your tears are shared as is your grief. We love you, sweetheart. I cry for you this day. 30 years ago my brother lost his 6-month-old son Cameron. I can tell you that while the pain does subside, the grief carries on as we carry the loss with us until it's our time to revisit our loved ones again. You're in my heart. Please find peace.

[@suemontgomery9833]

I agree I've watched the same as you also Max and Occy it is a good way to start my day🎉🎉

[@glendabautista6876]

Love watching you both! Keep living your best lives! I wish I had, had the guts when I was younger to follow my ❤ and had the adventurous and memories that you both are making! Love you both from Kentucky

[@TXGranny2]

Bless you for sharing your raw emotions with us in this video. I agree that your life is right where it should be. ❤🙏

[@kareywhit1]

OMG! The colab of a lifetime!! I love watching Lou and Dana and you and Barron!!! ❤Dana is the sweetest soul too.

[@JLTravels]

Yes, you are so creative, you can design your own furniture to fit your exact space & needs!!!

[@MiddleEarthGirl75]

The couch is great! It's so nice to see people going back to designing things in accordance with their needs as opposed to what society has been telling us, which is that you need to have your house looking like it belongs in Architectural Digest even if most of the space is wasted and it's filled with stuff you never use or look at. You aren't building a house. You are building a home - inside and out, and it's beauty is that it will reflect the amazing couple that is creating it 🥰 Always with love and blessings from Eastern Ontario, Canada ❤🤍❤

[@lindahritz249]

I think the house is shaping up. Give them a tear and it will belong in AD.

[@0122Tamara]

Healing is ok, emotions are part of it, hugs hugs and more hugs....Friends are the best

[@susanalbone5101]

Pure joy, you’ve made my day. I’m pleased you were able to talk to your friend Elsa and release those emotions you have been storing up. I loved the couch despite the ‘bean bag’ being a bit chunky. It looked really cosy and comfy. Take care, be safe. 💕 Dorset, UK

[@jstar1000]

We are over 10 years into our foam mattresses and they are great.

[@LAYERSOFLIFE24]

Oh Elsa, such a generous share 💞❤‍🩹💝 thank you x

[@healingwithmel]

That sister connection with women is something we are all craving more and more. So glad you found eachother! 💖 I started watching both of your channels in the peek of covid and seeing you guys come together just made me so emotional 💖 love you all and thank you for sharing your lives with us!

[@WildWeRoam]

reading this and feeling so many things thank you for reflecting the importance of that sister connection! it really is something the soul craves 💖💖💖

[@greywolfwalking6359]

That is a great picture of the " family".. on the couch!! Toooo cool or what?? Can hardly wait to see the vid!! 👍🦊🧙‍♂️🐺🤙

[@greywolfwalking6359]

A veeerrryyy awesome job on this piece!! A great sharing of memories and joys.... That couch is amazing... 👍🧙‍♂️!!! Preciate ya'll!! 👍🐺🧙‍♂️🦊🤙

[@llorylloyd]

WOW Barron pulling out all that equipment from that small bag. + add some zip ties

[@neesr13]

Another thing you should keep in your vehicles is the 'space' blanket. The shiny silver blanket for keeping warm, or reflecting the heat, depending on your need. I have multiples in both our vehicles in case there is a need for others besides ourselves. They are good for so many things and will fit in any small corner of your bag or glove box.

[@rosiecortez6763]

You are both a gift and the new frontiersmen/woman.❤❤❤. Love and blessings from Texas.

[@kall3555]

The couch is great. You have done a great job with decor etc. You're still cooking those delicious meals. Thanks for the video. Take care.👍

[@chrismiertschin6148]

I am so very glad that you were able to connect with Dana. Grieving and forgiving yourself for the loss is extremely important. It's ok to remember when you allow yourself time to heal. There is no clock on grief. Move through at your own pace. ❤

[@wendysplace3867]

Great video. Barron makes me laugh.

[@Nhaeddy]

Snowboarding scenery so beautiful. Love the puppies 🐶🐶❤️

[@meredithheath5272]

Very nice emergency tool box to put in your car! Excellent!❤❤

[@alanclouser540]

❤ u guys and happy birthday camp

[@TheGoodlife356]

OMG one of my recent favorite videos from you! I laughed out loud for real. Thank you for a warm, happy Sunday morning video.

[@pandaloves17]

Processing grief is so different for everyone. I for sure feel the wildness of life while in the grief. Like things keep going and moving, part of you is still back and wondering yet life is busy and a whirlwind. I love the editing of the video. The couch is cute lol!

[@teresam2277]

I love the spirit of you two together. Elsa, I've not met you but your transparency on your range of emotions is endearing. When you shared your innermost thoughts on the loss and grief of your pregnancy, I found my eyes welling up for you as well. I could sense how you were feeling and I am hoping that you and Barron's wishes are realized sooner rather than later. Wishing you the best there is yet to be and your home is filled with enough! Dana is a sister when in need, and I am so pleased she was there when you needed her, and you for her. She's quite the gift! Just to think her gift was also a gift to you and Barron! You two needed this visit...Enough...

[@agony-aunt]

You put into words exactly what I was thinking & said it better than I ever could. Sending love to your beautiful home Elsa & Barron 💜

[@WildWeRoam]

just overhere happy crying missing you two your beautiful home, your beautiful energy, and beautiful colorado! truly so grateful to have had the chance to spend time together surrounded by everything you built. cant explain how inspiring this trip was for me and Lou. sending all our love and cant wait for you to come to New York!!! big hugs Dana

[@rhondamckinley4373]

What a blessing to have such awesome friends.

[@lisadamele1108]

((Hug)) for Elsa ♥️ Love the closing shot of the four of you relaxing on the new living room furniture 👍🏼✨

[@mjmcinnespoems]

I’m glad you’ve had a nice time visiting with friends and are able to create food from the Scamp / A-frame menu of memories. Thank you Baron for sharing the contents of your Emergency kits. You’ve certainly shown us a thing or two on the rights of things ie soft tool kit. Blessings dear ones🌱

[@suzeesanford8973]

Great video as always. Inspiring as always! Thank you Barron for sharing what you carry in your vehicles for tools. I love all your videos, but this tool bag unpacking I really needed to see. I always learn such valuable insights, direction, how to take action along with common sense knowledge. I appreciate when you give us the "why" and "how to's". Thank you for sharing all your wisdom and skills with us!

[@chrisspence1831]

You both put forth such positive energy, humor and joy into your videos. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

[@kokeshikawaii2149]

Thank you ❤

[@EveaGornall]

love seeing the very real side to your guys’ relationship. It’s refreshing to see couples not try to come off as perfect but still have very healthy ways of dealing with the inevitable things their partner does that annoy them 👏

Good Morning from North Carolina!

[@tracywyttenberg5560]

I love how the house is coming along. Beautiful and Happy Birthday Kamp 🎉

[@JoyMatthias]

I love to purchase real sheepskins for covering on the furniture, or chairs. They add a unique and cozy element to the room.

[@gg3596]

Happy birthday Camp🐶♥️

[@diannehanby1855]

Match the couch bean bag cover to the mattress cover would make it look more like a traditional couch. Great idea though for movie nights ❤

[@andreacabadas8492]

Guys! I have that chair, I use it while sitting in my tiny rv while watching your guys videos! I will also use it when I watch your upcoming podcast videos. Thank you for the video! Watching your videos makes me appreciate the small things. You guys also helped me come to terms with needing to live well below my means and now I LOVE my tiny rv. One day all my dreams will come true but for now I must be grateful for all I have. Thank you for the lessons.

[@llorylloyd]

that day is very significant and important as is all those moments, when you found out you were pregnant, when you lost your angel, your due date and all of those emotions in between and in the future. heal from them but never forget them. you have every right to grieve the loss of your child, lost in the womb or in life, the number of days, weeks or years doesn't matter. a loss is a loss. remember them in a year, in 5, in 10 that hurt will never go away, do not allow anyone to make you feel like it's not important or valid, including yourself prayers and love ❤

[@pagewhite61]

What a nice Sunday treat, thank you.

[@TheStellark]

It is a very, very special day when two of my favorite KZbin channels come together! I can only imagine all five of you together and the wonderful energy that would be in the air. Wholesome, nurturing, loving, cozy, inspiring, and ease come to mind. I always wondered if you guys would cross paths. All of your souls feel like they are made from the same cloth. Dana was ready to receive your pain and struggles with open arms in your time of need Elsa 🥰🧡

[@jstar1000]

That kid was like yeah I'm the driver, get in and hold my root beer! lol.

[@sandradearing604]

Thumbs up on what you keep in the car and the how and why! TY for that! Happy BDAY Camp!

[@margittkennedy1311]

Life is an adventure! Sometimes not the way we expect, but life non the less. So good that you had someone to share those feelings with! Take it from one who shares this trait, don't over think things, moment by moment. My first child happened at 37 and my second at 42. My son wished on a falling star, of course he got a sister instead of a brother, who knew?

[@jennifermagee9131]

I am so sorry for your loss. I would encourage if you want help unloading the car to ask instead of make fun. I believe for most it is not sustainable. Glad Else you were able to share with someone that you found safe and glad you know you are right where you need to be. Love your channel and wishing you all the best. Happy Birthday Kamp!

[@torih5766]

Love it when two channels that I follow, come together in a video! Love this! Elsa, and Baron, my thoughts are with you, I will light a candle in honour of you.

[@Kat-iy8ng]

I enjoy seeing young adults so resilient and self-reliant. You all are doing great! Also, I wanted to ask if Elsa has a link to her friend's clothing store, specifically hiking pants. One day, you will both be the most wonderful parents! ❤

[@judyderieux8484]

I love how you both live your lives. Your dreams are coming true. You deserve all the happiness in the world. Your dream of having children will happen. I can't wait to see the two of you being parents 💝

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

Two two are very inspiring

[@sueezze7432]

You guys are great, I thoroughly enjoy your work, I especially love when Elsa makes herself some vittles. She throws down, and her food looks so delish. I love the community you guys have. Thanks for sharing

[@lynellethompson5521]

I don’t know you Elsa but hugs!!💚. Love your house!! Have you ever considered the oak frame Futons and oak frame futon chairs? The oak frame futons are so comfortable!! Your sofa reminds me of our cabin couch when I was a kid. Everything has to double as a bed for company!! Blessings!!💚

[@LanMysPage]

I LOVE James and Doreen!!!

[@agony-aunt]

I enjoyed Barron's geek out on his car essentials (with Pilot supervising) We havent seen him do one for a while, its so cool listening to someone talking about their interests.

[@donnataylor980]

I can see why you had such a good time with your friends they're terrific ❤I've been watching their Channel❤😊❤ I love the couch I think it's great it looks comfy to me I love foam rubber❤ it's much more comfortable than a ordinary mattress❤ and I think the countertops are beautiful I would keep them forever❤ kamp and Pilot seem to love the new house😊 I knew they would❤ see y'all in the next video❤

[@lisaannwhite4080]

We bought that same fabric in downtown Taos at my favorite fabric store! I made a shoulder bag for my partner’s native flutes. I appliquéd a heart on the bottom of it. Loving what you two are putting together.

[@jenniferjohnson995]

It’s baffling to me, after losing a baby in a similar manner to you years ago, my body somehow knew those grief anniversaries viscerally. Time would pass and I’d forget what day it was, then suddenly start feeling really sad, and would realize it was a grief anniversary. Be gentle with yourself as your life moves on, and let yourself feel whatever you feel. 💜

[@maggiefriedrichs777]

Thanks for sharing. Keep supporting each other and enjoy peaceful moments.

[@camerongawd01]

Your friend looks like Margaret Qualley... I had to look her up to confirm ... fun video, guys! 🎉😊

[@bluesue6687]

I sometimes miss your skamp life but when I see you open your fridge or cook inside or have running water, it makes me so happy for you!!

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Just love your new looks so comfy ❣️to cover the wood in the bottom just buy a twin size bed skirt it would look awesome❤

[@Shatarii]

that date is very significant for you x Huge hugs x As someone who has lost in the past, dates are so important x I won't lie time heals ... it just lets you learn to cope a different way xxx I wish you all so very well xxx

[@lynndandelion]

This video made me SO HAPPY! I have watched you for years and Dana and Lou even longer. Just this morning (really!), I was thinking that the four of you have been on the same continent for long enough now, it is high time you met, and I hope that you do a video if you do. Here you are, and it sounds like the timing was perfect.

[@empress2500]

Barron is going to be such a great dad and your going to be a great mom Elsa. In due time. Lots of hugs

[@RNKoriginalss]

I’m so happy Elsa … that you had heartfelt time the someone that will be a lifelong friend now I bet! Love the podcasting chairs!

[@ricklenser3323]

I just purchased Dana's meditations about a week ago. I was glad to see you and her connecting. You all seem like good souls.

[@carolynnkaster9457]

Wow! I remember making a coffee table out of a wood pallet for my first apartment after college. Also had a wood frame made with scrape wood for my waterbed. Ha, what memories!

[@meredithheath5272]

We hear you - Everything is so expensive - that's why I don't have any furniture 😂😂 I've collected a bunch of cardboard and have ordered cardboard cutters - perhaps make and end table... Wall decorations( haaaa)?

[@CaptainAiryca]

Lovely video!! I always love Barron gear talks/show and tell. I learned to carry a small sledgehammer and a piece of wood from a crazy adventure in Central Oregon. We got a flat tire (not usually a big deal as we have a spare) and the dang wheel was rusted or something to the car. Even with all the lug nuts off it would NOT come off!! Finally a few hours into trying to figure out what to do, a very nice person showed up and helped us. They were rockhounding and he had a big sledge hammer and a piece of wood to protect the rim of the wheel and we used it to beat on the wheel until it finally popped off. We had our little kids with us and were wayyyy out in the boonies. It was so stressful but lesson learned. We were prepared so it wouldn't have killed us to have to set up camp but idk what we would have done to get out of there.

[@AngelicaBob09]

Oh my gosh! I was so confused when I clicked on this. You two together!!.. so awesome 🎉🎉

[@amywill9185]

Elsa, I can feel your heart still smarting in this video. You look amazing and beautiful! I’m frankly a bit jealous of your ability to calm yourself with your art and meditation. ❤thanks for yet another peaceful, delightful vid.

Of all the talents and skills you share, building houses and creating incredible art, it is free handing such a straight grid on paper for me 😮 ❤😂

Wow! Such a beautiful video! Elsa I cried a little bit with you when you talked about the visit. So many emotions! Loved the who grocery and mattress silliness! Y'all are so cute!

[@teresakinney955]

That was great! I needed a chuckle - Barron is so cute bringing the big bean bag in - multi purpose. You guys are so great.

Beautiful couch, it looks great too me. Elsa I am very proud of your progress dealing with something so difficult. That little boy is a very special gift. 28:21

[@deeanna5814]

I love seeing how your home is becoming more and more you. I’ve been in my home for years, with my daughter as she grows, and it’s the same with us. Always something unfinished, alway a work in progress, always being changed by our hands to become more us. Our home changes as we change.

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Really nice visit with friends and a time of releasing your feelings. The couch looks really comfy and classy and the food you prepared looked so good. Warmer weather on the way along with more outside activities. Greetings from Wisconsin. Take care.

[@SD-cz8og]

I love that you do things your own way! It's super inspiring. That cutting board is 👌

[@mitchelllarkin3360]

These videos keep me going lately - I've been watching since the beginning of the Scamp days, but lately my girlfriend and I are in the process of moving out for the first time on our own, both about the launch into exciting but challenging new careers in a new province for the both of us. We're both mega minimalists with challenged pasts of mental health, etc. and pretty much only the tools for our work and our cars to our names. We don't have much, but we have each other, and watching you two just fills me with excitement for what's to come! Thank you Elsa and Barron :) you guys rock!!

[@ElsaRhae]

This is so awesome. Way to go, you two. Enjoy the newness to come in life and feel free to keep us posted on how things go!

[@johnrogers6291]

That meal that you made at the end of the podcast LOOKED SO DELICIOUS!!

[@RNKoriginalss]

Love the couch… maybe use the back for a bean bag and sit on it till it flattens a bit… then dust it off and use it as a seat back forever! Very cool! I would put the pretty striped fabric tucked in over front and back with some solid pillows that complement that gorgeous fabric! Thanks for sharing great recap! I always feel happy when I catch a post!
