IS IT LEAKING? HEAVY MONSOON RAINS TESTING DIY CAMPER COVER & MY METHOD TO COMBAT AGE

Hey Everyone! Thanks for tuning in, the monsoons have FINALLY set in and it's actually cold this morning! Odd for a mid August start to the day but I'll take it over the heat we had earlier in the summer. Really pleased with the camper cover, I still need to finish the back portion which I'll get to in a few weeks. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy some relaxing downtime before I get started on my next project. Hope you all have a great week, thanks for tuning in! ~ Brian

Oh my heavens!! What a piece of paradise you have created!! Just wonderful😊

You are not kidding about getting older. I have been dealing with sciatica since January and have been miserable. Just started soaking with Epsom salts again myself. I prefer a natural hot spring to a tub and salts, but I can't be picky. I just turned 70 (crap!), and am feeling it. I am glad I have a house during these times. As much as I love camping and traveling, I would hate to be living 50 or more miles from medical services during times like this.

[@rickallman1318]

Swimming really helps!

[@choosesomethingfun5608]

@@rickallman1318 Especially in a hot spring! Problem is, there have only been a few hot springs I have found that were big enough to actually swim in. Two in Utah, Crystal Hot Springs, a commercial hot spring with a rich history, and Meadow Hot Springs, on private property, but owner allows as long as property is respected.

[@rickallman1318]

@choosesomethingfun5608 Really helps Sciatica! Sorry my previous comment was so vague! Lol

Hey Brian! That tub looks so inviting! Enjoy! Your roof did fantastic, nice job on that! See you on the next one!

Lovin' the rainy weather. Enjoyed the video, y'all take care.

Good morning Brian and Sierra Rain ☔ so much ⛈️

Hi Zoi! I hope you are having a nice Monday.

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures Thank you Brian, 👌

[@deanmartin9358]

hello Brian well a truly great job on the roof nothing like a little rain to test it out

[@justinlinnemon6931]

That last scene with you soaking in the tub says it all - fruits of your labor. Nice job on getting your property set up the way it is.

[@Nick-pj4qh]

Looking awesome man! The rain sounds awesome! That little pressure washer is awesome! Ryobi makes some awesome stuff!

[@ali_g79]

What a fine set up! Thanks for sharing.

[@Allearsandeyes57]

I love the sound of rain on a metal roof. I live in an Airstream, my Silver Twinkie…

[@rosedzindolet-faith5092]

Now that’s a tub I could get in n out of easily

[@johnnyr19026]

Fabulous. Fabulous Fabulous. Nice Work. Stayin Tuned.

[@covewater]

I love your lifestyle How you live off grid that inspires me to hopefully live that way 1 day.

[@dawndecesare2177]

Your hot tube looks so relaxing. Sierra looks great!

[@violetraquelgarcia5143]

Rain on a metal roof is so wonderful .😊🙏 stay Safe You two 💞💕 🏜

[@Downsdddgh]

Filling a small inflatable kids pool and letting the sun warm up the water would make for a nice warm and quick bath. Or let the rain fill it up and jump in for a quick soak!

[@bobbyjones7354]

Hi Brian and the Lovely Sierra 🥀♥️Please send lots of rain to Central Texas...No rain for months and Temps been in the 100's for 40 something days...please pray for us. Many Blessings and prayers for both of you Amen 🐾🙏✝️🥀♥️

[@Quartzone6145]

Loving watching your videos from the uk.we have had rain and more rain here this summer

[@Eljefe915]

I can’t wait to retire and do what you do. Just wish I had more trees around my land at Hueco Tanks like you do. I’m sorry to hear about the cancer your doggie has. Keep doing what you do to educate us.

[@1966spyderco]

Lookin good brutha. Well done and hope that Yota is purring again

[@kevinbatey6465]

Hey Brian and Sierra, place looks great, hope the roof holds that rain back. Take care.

[@ufobuff4173]

Nice roof setup Brian you should gutter it and have a couple ibc totes on each end? great job !!

[@claireleboucher4597]

With all my heart with you kisses from France

[@BajaGirl302]

My husband and I left our 5th wheel without cover in Apache Junction Arizona. We had a covered space reserved for the summer, just didn’t have our registration paperwork handy. I hope we come back to a totally fine rv! Although it’s been so hot and it’s baking in the sun all day 😳Preparing for a disaster hoping for the best! It’s time for an upgrade anyway! It’s 22 years old, in good shape for the age.

[@shepatown]

Good health tip on soaking. Gotta do more of that.

[@myrnagarcia-y1x]

Take care of Sierra❤

[@ASMRPeople]

Agree 100% you on that coil. I'm an engineer in a chemical plant. The temperature gradient won't push the water fast enough to stop it from boiling. Once you steam in the system you'll get plugged flow just like when you get air in a fuel line. It can be quite dangerous.

[@styx62]

Love your tub I would be in it all the time for real ⁷u 6ooking amazing keep up with good work

[@sheilacaine]

Love it. I want one.

[@benjaminspencer6507]

You might consider a gutter across the front. Otherwise you will have a dich to step over!

I recommend chlorella capsules for people around 50 yo. Gives me energy. Spirulina too. NAC is my new thing.

[@Glenn.Cooper]

He Brian. Thanks for the video. Yea - love the monsoons. It's been a bit hit-or-miss here in Cottonwood. I don't think we've had any of the big dumps like you showed in this video. Take care!

[@howardfoss700]

Wow can't believe how jealous I am of you

[@cyndib3587]

I so want to do a cover like that at my OffGrid northern AZ acreage. Maybe next year? So many projects right now.

[@solaroc501]

Wow, that is the life. I just love your place. What is the brand and model of your water pressure machine? It is really compact with a good amount of pressure.

[@donanappier4601]

a little table and chair under your outdoor roof would be nice.

[@Silverbull007]

Hi bud , just a quick observation but shouldn't the pump be on the lower inlet of the bath , isn't that perhaps why you are getting erratic heating as the pump forces heat downwards or are you purposefully pushing it lower to maximise the mix ? Cheers, and thanks for the interesting videos. Sean

[@billbrox8666]

Hello. I found your channel a while ago, and have seen quite a few of your videos. Excellent videos. I heard you mention about the community water that it is drilled very deep. So, now I am curious, where does the trees find water if the water level is hundreds of feet deep? I am sorry I am just curious, now wonder my parents got grey hair early on. 🙂

[@desertrestnv]

Hi, Great build. I am wondering if I use the clear acrylic type waffle cover on the awning portion over the porch. Would it hold up in the monsoon winds? I want to do the same thing you have but also intend on setting up a water catchment system off the roof. I don't trust drinking water coming off a galvanized roof. I get the whole idea is to keep the sun off the trailer so would use the roofing paper you used. But I think it would be nice to have some extra light coming in to the porch. What do you think?

[@carol07643]

Nice hot tub!

[@vicentee2687]

at the 1000 min mark water was running down your window brother

[@MOSTHIGH1963]

Hi Brian & Sierra 👋🏼 Gd to c U both ok ✅️ L♥️ve Uuuuuuuu Sierra 😍💋💯 P.S. Ur Beard looks great 👍 😉

[@christopherscott4680]

Do you worry about the electrical cord for the pump in the tub while you’re in it for electrocution reasons?

[@dudereno21]

Why don't you have a rain catchment?

❤️❤️❤️👋😁

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

"Drainpipe, drainpipe; where's your drainpipe"? And your soil erosion prevention measures? Hmmmmm? Only 50 years old? I also use Epsom salts with essential oils but, I can't get big bags like you . Probably the 1kg that I get from the Apothecary costs as much as what yours does! Wait a minute, 2lbs IS 1kg! How much does it cost you there?

[@rosedzindolet-faith5092]

Hi Brian & Sierra hope y’all are well Rest easy and take care 🤗❤️🙏🏼👼🏼😍👍🏼🛎️👋🏼

[@philtucker1224]

48? Are you kidding me Brian? I’m sorry but I had you down as retired 60-65 ish, (it just shows what a grey beard can do for you!) No disrespect, I really enjoy your channel!

[@westernshamballa]

Love watching your "free" lifestyle! You so it so well and have so many talents. I was wondering if you were going to attach gutters to your new camper cover and capture the rain water into a barrel? Use on the garden?

[@elizabethpeck4413]

Where did you get your muscle salt Brian I have aches and pain from fibro and arthritis and would love too try this ❤

[@TheArtOfDean]

I can't get enough of the beautiful sceneries here, as well as only hearing the sounds of nature. A refreshing change from living in a large city, where I hear practically every type of noise you can think of.

[@ValentineFarm]

Epsom flakes are so much better than Epsom salts. 😊

[@ymeekins6357]

Amazing job on everything Brian.=-) Everything looks so amazing and realxing... that hot tub is everyone's dream. and 50, holy smokes!! you definitely don't look it(40 yes, almost 50 no). and yes, epsom salt works wonders!!!. =-).

[@kimprocarione5473]

Awesome! And I love that you showed the creek! You do get some amazing clouds and a great view of them. Excellent! Not to mention the hot tub! Do you take probiotics, too? Gut health is important for you, too. 🎉

[@Terirn65]

Brian. My name is Teresa. I’m sure enjoying your channel 💜 can I ask you how much acreage you have there? I would love to purchase a little bigger trailer than yours and live out there. I’m needing just a little bit of my own property, like 2-5 acres.

[@robertwhite1627]

you can make some delicious MOON SHINE with your creek a few times per year!!

[@foottv5134]

Doing a great job man. Everything is looking good. I'm fixing to start clearing some brush on my place. Also got my KZbin going and already have 3 videos out. 👍

[@jimn4607]

Nice job on the place. Luv the hot tub. Hope you are going to harvest some of that rain water for the garden.

[@Oldworkhorse377]

Thoughts on adding a rain gutter system to the edges of the roof? Collect rain water and avoid wash out?

[@charlottewoodruff193]

Nice video. Glad to see no leak with woodshed cover. Needto get a rain barrel for all that rain coming.

[@imapisces1]

I think I live vicariously thru your updates, Brian. 😊 ...I 'did' see water dripping out the back of the roof where the two segments overlap. That was different from what you were focusing on, tho.

[@deanmartin9358]

great hot tub worth all the clearing when you reap the benefits i myself will be 68 this year so decided to search youtube for exercises finally found the perfect workout no weights started 2 weeks ago and can feel the benefits now ive worked up to 4 reps only takes 7 mins per day... all the best from the UK

Hi Brian, what do you use the hot-tub water for afterwards?
