As much as I love camping and exploring, I would need my dog with me ❤

[@ekimnamdets6946]

I’d prefer a middle aged happy female Labrador, never had one personally but all the spoiled fat ones I’ve met were awesome companions.

[@lorianncostello531]

I lost my dad this summer. I wish I had more time. I wish I had one more hug, one more time to tell him how much I loved him. Im sorry you lost your friend so young.

[@jasonsnyder8341]

I can feel the solitude and the beauty of simple living. Circumstances are different for all of us but we can all find different creative ways to bring more peace and simplicity into our lives. Godspeed brothers and sisters.

[@ngabotuyishime7075]

For everyone that just found this video Randomly and watched the whole thing lets gather together and appreciate it this guy great video ❤❤

[@Mrdezmiki]

Haha, I feel called out. 😁

[@the1455]

I will do as you say

[@wheelchazeal8089]

Just randomly pooped up today and now I can’t stop watching his videos. I’ve been wanting to make a tiny house on the back of a truck for quite a few years and his is by far my favorite I’ve seen.

[@SuperNardDawg]

A buddy sent this to me last night. I have a super short attention span, but watched the whole thing. Loved the vid.

[@adrianjohnson2708]

Did anyone else see the thumbnail and clicked on it because it looked like the camper roof was on fire ?

[@mrjoe16]

This is the first time I've have seen your channel and wanted to tell you that your explanation of time really hit home with me. I am currently battling cancer and time is all I have on my mind, hopefully a lot more of it as I'm only 44 with a wife and kids. I am very career based and always have been and this battle has changed my mind of what really matters. Since this cancer road has started my wife and I have gone camping twice during the early stages and we plan on a lot more. I wanted to thank you for the message of hope I felt from what you had to say about your friend.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Sorry to hear that man I hope well for you though! Just keep charging and making the most of your time.

[@ruthl51]

Buy some American made pure gum 100% turpentine to kill the candida in your body. Cancer is 62% candida. Research Dr. Jennifer Danials. Difficult to fine her information but well worth your time and effort ❤

Sorry to hear this brother. Your will unfettered will be Victorious

God bless you. Jesus saves!

[@josemoreno3334]

When I was in the US Air Force during the 1980s and 90s ( Cold War ). I was a telephone linesmen and we were sent up to Alaska five times . We did some work on the DEW line. Both of the major air bases and an air base called Shemya . We did some work during the winter months and got to see the Northern Lights . And worked in 40 below weather. Your video brought back allot of found memories of Alaska. Thank you.

[@bigdee8189]

Thanks for your service brother!

[@tulinfirenze1990]

I bet you saw some strange things too.

[@whatintheworld7624]

The fact that you are towing a snow blower is rad dude... you are ready for the darkest week! STAY SAFE BROTHER AND HAVE FUN!

[@scottfrost8956]

I absolutely love how you spoke about “time” being the most important thing to you. I absolutely positively believe in the same.

[@dbvetter7485]

Seems so cozy when you’re in a 60 mph blizzard. In your little warm home.

[@U20E27]

You know it’s going to be an adventure when the Snow blower is on the trailer and gets used in parking lots😆

[@joelperez-pickens6131]

The more I watch you the more I like you. Your mention of your best friend was so sincere, and I think that's so awesome of you. Thank you for sharing with us your life. It seems so exciting to do what you do. Much respect young sir. Thanks, from beautiful (NO SNOW) Tulsa, OK.

[@DianeticsJr]

I'm sorry about the loss of your friend Xavier. My friend Dimitri was in his first year of medical school when he passed away skiing on Mt. Reiner. We met through ski patrol and worked together at the local hospital. He loved to ski and loved life, a lot like Xavier. It cool to see your friend live on in your memories and how you live your life. Much love.

[@connieparker8896]

With two couches , you could air bnb, I’ll be your first, I’m a 70 yr old Lady and only dream about the Alaska cold, I could only hang out in the cabin of your truck , just love looking at the cold and sounds of the wind , NO WAY COULD I REALLY EXPERIENCE IT BUT GLAD YOU CAN,, lol stay safe and keep in touch with your Mom and Dad!!! God bless

[@JamesVigue]

It's really not all that bad ma'am. I guarantee you that, barring some specific medical issue I don't know about, you could handle it. Just dress appropriately.

[@susanstoltz2555]

I love this truck camper! It’s so cozy and warm with all the wood, woodstove and everything you need to have gumbo, cookies, eggnog and movie. I don’t see anything missing at all. Love this video!

[@TB-yg4gn]

Just a dog! Lol

[@martinheatingcoolingmartin4693]

Man, what a contrast between what’s going on inside that little cabin and what is going on outside the cabin!

[@claytona57]

These videos are why I started following you “TIMMY” Just love the camping vids. So waiting for this to premiere

[@NoTengoDinero69]

Man that snow blew my mind. I’m used to Michigan winters up north, and that made my snow look pitiful in comparison. Stay warm out there! Happy New Year! 🎈🎆🎊

[@Asher3200]

Thats AMAZING We in Minnesota can appreciate all you do

[@ElizabethRobertson-b4z]

The amount of "back and forth" to replace the camera(s)/drone is pretty solid, we never see any hint of it... Well done.

[@joemamamia1751]

That stuck trucker watching this vid, being like "You had a snowblower and didn't stop to HELP ME??!!" but now knows he should probably just haul around his own snowblower like the badass, Timmy is...

[@palerider2890]

Man, I appreciate all the effort you put in to filming this. Couldn't have been easy to set up a tripod to shoot you removing the snow at 4am.

[@maryhaug5810]

Seriously? He’s filming this completely on his own? Wow!

[@JonathonBoucher47A]

I really appreciate your insight on the topic of time. A lot of people don’t take the time to stop and think about it. I am also sorry for the loss of your friend. Great video!

[@lordoz2578]

First time I’ve come across this channel I’m in love. This is so chill holy smokes. Keep up the amazing work. And you’re doing what you love.

[@inyourhomefitness2452]

What an incredible truck camper build. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for a wonderful 2024.

[@milesj179]

I hope there’s oven baked COOKIES 🍪 in this episode. 🤪

[@BobvanT]

Agree , every time i watch those cookies i put on a pound or so 😮

[@MARKluvsAZcards]

Alwaysss have cookies

[@tonyparkinson9508]

They never looked cooked all the way tho lol

[@appalachianunderground8474]

@AndyGKaufman😂😂🤣

[@olivernorth1993]

Timmy is soo correct about time. I'm soo fond of anyone who can take the time to live life. All I do is work, pay bills and provide for my family. I have no time to do anything else. Basically, a life unfulfilled, which is my fault. I appreciate guys like Tim and Nocantfant, for showing me what is possible. Tim even has influenced me to look for a Powerstroke!! 😂😂😂

[@BoondockBertoOverland]

One of my favorite vlogs of all-time, Timmy!!!! Eggnog, riding out a blizzard, some ukulele, home-baked cookies, a road trip, the fireplace & watching a classic movie. Thanks for creating & sharing. Matt from Pennsylvania (P.S. The Truck Around & Find Out Hat I received from ya or month or so ago is my new favorite hat). Happy Holidays, brother. Matt

[@SweetSummerChild1967]

So much respect for you! And a little low key jealousy, too. 😊 Enjoy this time of your life!!"

[@WillBerens]

You inspired me. I lived in Shelton WA for ten years. ( you mentioned the skokomish river the " skok") and I also know bout the dust in the baggy. I got out of Mason County jail in June and moved to south Dakota. 7 months clean n sober. Saving money and dreaming of the Alaska life. Dad passed Christmas eve and left me a new truck and a boat . I'm working and putting everything away. If I ever run across you ( trucks easy to spot!) I'm gonna shake your hand. Thanks again.

[@ferraritrip]

We love your videos; no guilt necessary for the recent turn of clips. Be safe - Happy Holidays - your friends in KENNESAW!!

[@melvinfeenstra7037]

i love this vibe. camping in a little warm place in the middle of a blizzard. too bad i can not do that in my country

[@elizabethmason1927]

So many things I could say…. But this is just F*#%ING AWESOME!!! Thanks for stellar content and taking us along stay safe !!!💪🏼🛻

[@michaelthomas9004]

Love watching your life style and videos.

[@randyhernandez1063]

Wilderness survival. This is what it's all about. Awesome video!

[@4Score747]

As a Mom of a 45 year old guy. I’d say….😂 go home! Do the Haul Road when it’s spring! Had a friend in 1990 slide off the road just south of Prudhoe Bay. Totaled. Same kind of truck, 86’ though. Not diesel. Just being a worried Mom I guess. I did work on the slope in the early 90’s. Loved every minute of it. Thanks for the link to Mukluks! Oh, I was a welder helper working for Peak Oilfield Service. Contracting for Conoco. My man was the welder. 🙌🏼 good memories. Be careful!! Gets slicker than crap around Atigan Pass. 12% grade. Dangerous Stairway to the Arctic.. I wish you luck and really enjoy your videos, so sorry I’m being such a scary Mary. Just concerned about your adventure..

[@reidcrosby6241]

Cool story. Thanks

[@T_Maze_Photography]

Dude I love the cabin but I even more so love the truck!! Super dope obs looks pretty clean!

[@cashdadspackbusters1877]

Here I am in my basement by myself drinking beer binge watching this stuff haha… awesome videos

[@stevenzilinsky3766]

Food and the preparation of a meal is a great morale booster when you are caught in the midst of a storm.

[@SallyMawdsley-ex2sl]

It's really 😂😂😂great,,,he has everything ❤ he need,,,bicycle,,,great cabin,,,good for him,,,😂😂😂,,,xe

[@leaning_Overland]

I found your video by accident. I must say I really really like what you've done to your truck with the cabin on back! I wish I had your apparent skills at creating such! The cooking along with the scenery is fantastic to watch. I wish I had my truck similarly equipped out there with you! That will be one of my many goals! I wish you all the best!

[@StayColdHeidi]

Looks fantastic ❤

[@deloresmadrid3328]

Hope the car and people were ok and were able to survive the storm as well as you are . Crazy storm where ever you made camp.

[@terryhatcher9644]

Suggestion: roast the flour in the dry pan a bit before adding the oil to make the roux. You can roast to not quite medium toast color and it will help eliminate the raw flour flavor. Then add equal oil to flour ratio. Cook the roux until chocolate or at least hot cocoa color. Your gumbo will have a deeper flavor with the chocolate roux. Be very careful not to burn the flour and keep stiring constantly the roux while cooking to keep it from burning. By a good flat end wooden spoon/spatula to keep it moving (and not damage pan if using nonstick God forbid) I enjoy your videos especially since you are showing that good food can be prepared in even a simple kitchen setup. Chicken wing drumetts and shrimp added later in the cooking really will set off the gumbo if you want to get fancy. Add some cayenne or favorite peppers while cooking, but keep quart bottles of your favorite hot sauce to kick it up just in case you are cooking for more than one.

[@jljonesar]

I’m glad I’m not the only one slightly concerned about the roux lol. awesome video!!

[@DCFunBud]

You say "roast," but you mean saute'. 👌 I will have to try sauteing the flour before adding the oil/butter.

[@terryhatcher9644]

@DCFunBud I used roast as saute to me means cooking in a hot fat while when you dry heat in a pan you are most closely roasting with direct heat. Probably best described as pan dry toasting per internet

[@connieparker8896]

His Mom taught him,,, it taste like Mom’s. It great!!!!

[@terryhatcher9644]

@@connieparker8896 it was a Google recipe

[@judypierce7028]

You homemade camper looks warm and cozy. Beautiful scenery.

[@thewanderingjojo4239]

Wow.... I live in Australia, and live on the road full time and work from my van. This is so epic and next level, and beyond! Alaska is one of my favourite roadtrip destinations (followed by WA) so far in the US, although only had 3 weeks there in Alaska. Next is Colorado/Utah in September. I would love a setup like this, and that stove gahh! Froth. Anyway, I love how smart you are with all the things, a snow blower.. I have never seen that from any other youtuber. Rad stuff, will keep watching your adventures wishing I could even try this for a hot minute one day in the snow. I just would never do it solo cause, you know, Im inexperienced and death, hahaha. 🤘

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

Just be careful wherever you decide to visit, ok? Things have changed in America the past 4 years, crime is bad in places now. Check really well before you go anywhere, avoid Portland, San Francisco, LA for sure. There's still good places though, it's a big country.

[@thewanderingjojo4239]

@sandyjuntunen4088 thank you, I have definitely noticed this myself, and I have travelled those areas intimately, and there no need to head back now. Only a few states left to do, then ones i mentioned above and New England area and then I'm done. ALTHOUGH, I want to go back to Alaska for another Salmon run, that was fun, I also have friends of 20 years that live there with a cabin Xxx appreciates your words

[@hornetscales8274]

You should run a couple of lines off of the heater hoses to a small core in your cabin: Take advantage of the free engine heat while you're driving, so your cabin can be pre-warmed when you move into it.

[@neva.2764]

Woohoo! Thanks for another great video. You captured the atmosphere really well. Both in and outside. Great filming and editing 👌 I love that you keep including Xavier Engle's celebration of life announcement in your videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I'm 4500 miles away and I love that I can get a sneak peak into your life in Alaska! That bird though... Another bad-ass 😃 Enjoy your trip!!

[@snackie1359]

Imagine you get stuck in the snow while driving through Alaska so you call your buddy, then they get stuck too so your mind starts spiraling then this random guy pops outta nowhere with a snowblower on his truck 😂

Nice one Timmy! I wonder if its a thing to get used to so much snow. Im from texas and we have heat. My bones hurt for you watching the cold. But i gotta say Alaska is BEAUTIFUL!

[@impy1980]

Found you via your 3 part "North Pole" trip whilst I was watching another video whilst I wasn't signed in, coz KZbin keeps randomly insisting I'm using an ad blocker, I'm not, I just use Brave browser, anyway I remember in one of those (later) videos you said despite the pain you're in, you really enjoy "the art of editing", as an editor myself, I can really see it in this video, the first 15 minutes with no dialogue and you told a story, with some pretty shots and excellent cuts and shot choice (setting the camera up [in your head] in the right positions really help with this), you should be really proud man, I've seen people who edit for a living produce worse stuff. I also understand what you mean about your hands when editing, I have Cerebral Palsy and if it's too cold, and sometimes too hot, I struggle coz my muscles get stiff and sometimes it can be painful. Really enjoyed the latest few house building videos that I've watched too, I really like the aesthetic you've gone for, the dark metal with the copper and wooden looks sick.

[@kathylong3814]

So I came across your video young man and because of the comments watched it. Your so young and adventurist. I hope it all goes well for you😅😅😅
