With the arrival of winter it was time to fire up my homemade wood stove in the trailer again. I made a few minor improvements I thought I'd share, but also discuss the need for a new trailer and possible new directions I need to go. Sorry about the poor sound quality and bad color!

So they have places like "The Van Build" and all sorts of nomadic gatherings in the desert during winter months and it looks like a great community and they all help each other with their builds. A quality trailer would only be a few thousand dollars (USD) and you could build one out to your spec with actual home furnishings that would be a lot more durable. Insulate it to your needs, wire it to your needs etc...

Your current travel setup is awesome, but there are other low-impact, frugal, & minimalist ways to travel, as well. Long distance travel via Amtrak or even Greyhound, with easily transported kit including backpacking gear & maybe a bicycle or electric bicycle for transportation when you arrive. Modern nomadic lifestyle. The opportunities are endless. Looking forward to your next chapter!

Your honest description of your ideas, experiments, and experiences are what make it seem like I am coming along for the ride rather than just getting a canned report. I would welcome your sharing your new adventures, wherever and however they take you. Please just don't radically change your honest storytelling style.

The Aliner is hard to beat for it's utility because you can fold it down. I have almost bought one twice. The last time it was the Scout lite which is small, light, and basic. I wanted it with the off-road axle. It's smaller than the one you now have, but big enough for you alone. Another thought if you want to do some backpacking is a van. Many years ago my wife and I were into backpacking, and mountain hiking. Returning from several days of hard hiking made us want a nice cozy place to crash so we bought a new van, and built it out as a camper. It worked great for our needs. Using a van instead of pulling a trailer eliminates the problems of towing. Your camper is always with you, and if backpacking, it's great to come home to, whether you decide to get on the road or just crash right there in the trailhead parking lot. Whatever you decide to do, we'll keep watching as I am sure it will be interesting.

@CriticalRoleHighlights

They work because there's a lot of force pushing the flapper open every time you give it revs. A wood stove has a constant flow of low-pressure exhaust and will most likely not be able to push with enough force to open it. Add to that, you need the pipe completely open when you start a fire or you'll smoke yourself out of your trailer, which means you'd have to keep the flapper open anyway. He could just take a cheap galvanized pipe cap and wrap chicken wire around it as well. Add to that, rain is really only an issue when you're not running your stove since the heat will instantly turn it into steam. Heck, a 90 degree pipe at the top with a 45 degree angle cut would stop the rain as well.

Just do what you want to do and be yourself. If you want a new trailer, then get one! If you want to do videos without a trailer that's cool too. I'll continue watching whatever you do. Cheers!

What ever adventure, where ever you go we'll be along for the trip. Backpacking is always an adventure. I've being doing it off and on for 40 years. Major improvements in gear over the years and nothing like being in the middle of nowhere with only yourself to depend on.

I agree. Seems like a lot of other commenters would like to see Slim convert a cargo trailer as well. I'm considering doing one myself. Seems like every pre-built travel trailer I look at has too many things about it I'd like to change. So I may as well start from scratch.

Just keep making stunning videos, visiting off the beaten path places and giving me a good giggle every now and then and you'll do just fine. Just be you!
