Living Out of a BUS!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Is there anything you would add or do differently? Anymore questions feel free to ask!

[@deanbyler5977]

Well done, sir! When you update your lights consider adding some to the side & back for general vis/security. Wranglerstar has a bunch of vids on the light system he added to his new Transit van; you might get some ideas/inspiration there.

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

The Hunting Public you guys should get THP tattooed on your shoulders

[@thefever7777]

My hunting camp utilizes 2 busses for living quarters and storage. One update we did was to tint the windows, the second update was solar powered security lights. We picked up some from harbor freight for 40 bucks.

[@paulcrave3112]

The only thing I think you should do differently is invite me to go along.

[@timothyhowell7047]

@@paulcrave3112 I agree 100%.

[@michaelramage2670]

Guys I have private land but all of hunting memories come from public land and I love my public land guys I really take a lot of action in our public land and conservation work and thank you all for advertising our public lands

[@shanepegram6478]

Thanks for the tour. 👍👍👍

[@jackll69]

That is one of the best builds ive seen in a long , keep it rolling !

[@normanrobinson5238]

Stuff like the bus and these videos is why I like every video you guys put out. Doing everything like the average Joe would do it. Keep up the great work!

I can’t think of shit THP set me free! I love you guys been an avid outdoorsman for all my life you guys are the ambassadors for us publiclanders!

[@NoNoGSP]

You can put six packs of be...soda in here...milk..yogurt. anything you wanna keep cool Tommy

[@psycogamer1153]

One thing I would personally add would be some kind of gun rack on the wood panels by the deer skull for some extra storage (and it would look pretty cool in my opinion). Love the build btw, super cool and pretty dang nifty too! Keep up the great work, Hopefully yall will come to PA sometime or another!

[@cdp50359]

My biggest question is, has anyone cut your shirt tail off for missing that bird 2 episodes ago? Lol

[@joeywalker783]

Check out iron Edison battery company Bec the battery you have now won't last long I work for them and we can see what we can do for you about getting you something that will last 7 to 10 years

[@michaelnixon2660]

The bus is awesome. Love what you guys do and the ingenuity that you put into everything. Keep up the awesome work. I do have one question. How much have you spent on the bus at this point because it’s truly an amazing portable hunt camp and I was wonder the pro and cons between building one or getting an RV when it come to cost. Again love what you guys are doing. Be safe in your travels and adventures. Wishing you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. God bless

Awesome video of the bus, that thing is badass!

[@lungbustercrnvr1384]

That there is a BAD-ASS huntin bus! The only thing missin is a quarter barrel fridge! For after the hunt of course.

[@dalehillegass1188]

That's a cool setup. Thanks for sharing with us. Good luck in Arkansas

[@zipzangerle]

Great vid. Great cause that you are raising awareness for. Will be ordering a hat n shirt tonite to help support ya. Go get em Sam!

[@adampastrnak1543]

All around awesomeness. Been watching all the videos and anticipating the next!! You guys have such a great message and influence on the hunting industry! Sam amazing job on the bus! I’ll be purchasing some shirts! Rock on fellas!!!

[@ericbrown6454]

Oh that? That there's an RV Clark.

[@connieferenbaugh1210]

I have to ask, and hope, was that a public school bus?

[@joepople7667]

So freaking cool.

[@rugged1987]

Living the outdoorsmen dream !! keep at Sam, I'll grab a tee and hat after posting this, bring that bus into Kentucky for a hunt ! Great video.

[@tommyknapp3234]

Have you ever gone over a complete list of everything to look at the overall cost?

[@billstev100]

Sam’s Public Land Ritz! When you’re in the woods you couldn’t ask for a better setup. Great idea and awesome job bro......

[@paul_terryoutdoors8716]

Very very cool Sam!!! That's a heck of a set up 👍

[@valleygrownoutdoors8899]

Oh my. Like oh my. Would love to do a cargo van that sleeps 4. Oh boy the wheels are turning. Usually means trouble for the mrs and turkeys lmao. Great time again fellas.

[@CoastalGardening]

At 6:45 I thought I was suddenly watching a Simpsons episode , you might get a copyright hit for having Otto as the bus driver =)

[@mitchmueller1950]

New motto for The Hunting Public, " I'm pooping in the woods, get over it". Love that!! Great video again guys! Awesome bus. Safe travels and happy hunting!!

[@58BowNut]

Mitch Mueller That’s a tee shirt I’d buy!

[@joneshat11]

That Dometic Freezer looks amazing! I might have to look into that!

[@birddogdoc]

Your videos are better than anything on the hunting channels. Thanks!

[@MrBowNaxe]

Sam, you are the man! I love what you are doing and how you do it. I'll be heading over to your site and helping the cause as soon as I can. I enjoy seeing you with my favorite channels like THP, HUSH, BRO and more. Again, thanks for helping keep or public lands free!

[@luisv8413]

Love the bus. This Corona situation got me without job but luckily got a gig at USPS haha. Saving up for a bus and would probably focus more on the driving cockpit and desk area. Drove an 18 wheeler for some time before my accident so sleeping in small places wont be an issue as long as its memory foam and my ol pillow n blanket is with me. You have a functional set up too. Not much I would change. A train horn maybe, mirror with built in cargo for shovel, brooms, shotgun. Would put a L shaped desk in the back instead of a bed in order to make it more for my work area and leave the whole fromt side of the bus for living room/bedding. Also the bathroom situation is a must for me haha 😂. Also would recommend to buy a CB radio, its essential for on the road situations in order to know of any accidents. Also some funny stuff happens there too😂

[@theguyinmaine]

Suggestions, on some space, money saving and space saving. I drove truck for years so had it equipped to live on the road. There is a company, Webasto. The y make a diesel fired heater but only heats air in a chamber, the exhaust goes outside the hot air goes in, they never mix. It burns about a quart of diesel a night, has it's own fuel pump that pumps out of the trucks tank, makes no noise except air blowing, no fumes, ne need to open windows. They also make a water heater on the same design, has it's own fuel pump, thermostat, has a water pump, and uses about the same amount of fuel. They make a block heater for cold weather and I heard an AC unit. Check Ebay or the net, prices are all over the place. 600 for heater complete, 1100 for water heater complete would be good.

[@barnekb]

Have you thought of adding a RV style hook up to the bus. 30 AMP would be more than enough power, and it would let you have a place to stop for the night in almost every city on the map. Great video guys.

[@Sjdlxfkwxjekexiwoqs]

Cool deal man I like the bus where u put all the beer with that small fridge

[@TheHuntingPublic]

David Everitt got coolers for that!

[@hillbilly03richardson61]

Awesome rig!!! Good Luck Boys! Safe Travels!!!!

[@mattott4274]

Great rundown on a mobile hunt cabin. Totally right, you don't need to make it complicated - a point many folks seem to forget these days.

[@neotoxo54]

Where in Arkansas do ya’ll plan to hunt and when? I’m in the middle of a cargo trailer to camper conversion but hope to be chasing longbirds in the next week. Would like to pay a visit if allowed.

Sam is a really cool cat and doing all he's doing for all the right reasons...awesome!!!!

Had to order one of the shotshell box shirts thanks for keeping things real.

[@southernproduction7275]

Cool video! Kinda jealous that I'm not hunting in one of those! I might have overlooked it, but I would love to see a video dedicated to the camera gear, video gear, anything related to that, and editing process yall go through.

[@huntfish2906]

Of it wasn’t already built you could have the living space smaller like you wanted and make it so you could drive your side by side right into the back. Then you wouldn’t need a trailer.

[@RandDoutfitters]

The bus is amazing! Nice job! Keep hammering!

[@mattmooreoutside2701]

What part of Arkansas are y'all going to be in and for how long. I'd love to meet all you guys

[@noahtreat]

Very cool. What’s the total amount of money invested in the rig?

[@chucksmith5002]

Man that is a cool setup . I agree a shorter bus would be a little cheaper to operate , More movability get into tighter places .

[@bobbygreen2291]

Sam the amount of play in the steering is adjustable,, just loosen the nut on the top of the steering box , and turn the flat head bolt in the center , clock wise to tighten , or counter for looser play.

[@EDFM.1]

What are the dimensions of the awning?

[@michaelramage2670]

Hey Sam when you gonna do a hunting trip in Ms. I would love to meet you and hang out with you man you seem to be a very well thought out person man and I really appreciate how you are involved in helping us keep our public hunting land and rights if you wanted man we could do some hunting on my land deer or turkey

[@richarddean3154]

If I could give multiple thumbs up, I would. Even my wife watched this video and marveled at the mental gymnastics that are required to build a machine like that, forecasting what your needs are and how they might change over time. Excellent and thoughtful video - thanks.

Great video, your a craftsman, looks like it was a labor of love. Thanks for the tour.

[@sheldonmcdow5255]

When you were starting the build did you ever think of building it off of a touring bus? Like an ACI or Greyhound? They already have all the storage underneath for luggage, and most have built in generators as well.

[@bobbaars2302]

Love the set-up I'd like to know more about the shower system. What exactly are you using?

[@1972davidt]

That is an awesome huntin' bus! I saw so many cool bus conversions when I used to go to alot of NASCAR races! You didn't show your batteries, but I would go with a sealed battery of some kind. A typical trolling motor type lead acid battery can explode when in a confined space during charging.

I'd imagine the bus will draw more attention than a camper or rv. More attention = more awareness.

Thanks for letting us tour your portable camp! Excellent set up.

[@jasonstroup7551]

Great video and alot of insight into the hard work you put into the bus. Love the videos you guys put out and keep them rolling and them shells loaded.

[@dannyb6968]

That is a great schoolie build. Iv'e been toying with the prospect of doing some sort of over the road housing . Keeping it simple without plumbing seems like a good idea, I guess you could always use a 5 gallon bucket with a shopping bag and toss it out at the nearest dumpster?? Great bus review.. Nice video. Thanks for sharing..

[@Intimidator82]

Wow, that bus has it all. I have a 31 foot travail trailer and I would way rather have that bus for the hunting and fishing excursions. Great job on the interior work Sam. Only thing I would change is the power plant under the hood. More ponies for Hilly terrain and all the gear of multiple hunters. Possibly a buddy seat for a couple extra passengers to carpool on longer trips. My high school bus was this exact model ours could barely peel the skin off of a pudding, just no power.

[@reecemorton4649]
