Sleeping In Straw Shelter - Proving The Big Bad Wolf Wrong

[@maddygvanlifer435]

I'm 70 yrs old. I want to get a cargo van and convert it into a living quarters but finances are not available to be able to do this. Been watching KZbin channels for years. You prove how where there is a will, there is a way. Hopefully, I'll be able to live out my dream before I leave this earth, Lord willing. Sure have enjoyed all your inventions. You are so smart. God bless you. Enjoying your channel.

You got this!

Create your own KZbin channel recording your living quarters in vanlife. Once you generate enough viewers, there should be some income to help you continue your ventures.

I’m going to be 69 in a few days. I enjoy camping. This younger man has a firm grip on how to enjoy life.

[@puccipower]

I am in my 30s and a very broke single woman. I am constantly at risk of losing housing and nowadays there are no protections! I live alone in an apartment and spend 50%-60% of my income on rent. It will not change either, it only gets worse by the year. I will tell you though that you can find a good van and retrofit it for under $3000. If you're patient, you can finish what you need to do for another thousand. My 98 dodge ram van was $1800, I put another $800. Since I've replaced the starter, battery, tires and lines... Which has been another $500 or so. I bought it 2 years ago. That's where I'm at right now. Just found a fold down bed for $50 on CL and I'm waiting until the snow melts to install it. I have 3 Collie dogs so I won't be able to live in it permanently but I plan to vacation this summer. If you have a dream you can still do it. :)

HAY!! So fun to watch!! Thank you Quiet Nerd. 😀 Glad the big bad wolf did not show up.

[@Wendmera2379]

I really like these videos of you camping in some structure you’ve built the best. If anyone was walking in those woods while it was dark & they saw that bright light they probably thought it was a ufo. Lol

[@lorifeil895]

I love your videos! You are so funny and clever. The straw shelter was amazing. You were clever to make that "sewing needle" and to also make that powerful flashlight 🔦. You were funny when you tried to knock your shelter down by running into it a few times 😅. You seem so much more confident in your videos. I look forward to your next video.😊

[@QuietNerd]

[@VanHellsing12]

Horses and cows don't eat straw, they eat hay.

[@LexyThomas134]

@@VanHellsing12 They do eat it, but it's mostly for bedding. Straw is a good alternative in rations for cows, horses and sheep if properly supplemented with higher quality feed, so they do and will eat it

Looks like fun. I was intrigued by that luminosity you saw through the trees you thought might be a deer. I doubt that. Light like that are commonly seen in woods. They have different names, but most commonly called "Will o the wisp".

[@cherylsibson2529]

It's debated where the original tale of " the big bad wolf story came from, according to Wikipedia the story's origins come from Alberta or Saskatchewan back then forests were to be feared, Ingenious planning, with your cameras. You could have sewn in a zipper for the door. Very well done! Bravo!

[@screwuk]

@QuietNerd Part of the reason I like this channel is that the community is so wholesome. Thanks for cultivating this nice group of people. I think part of the appeal for people is that it is hard to practice gratitude on your own sometimes, for some people. Here, it is easier due to you and the community showing how.

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

[@scottthomas3792]

That roll hay looks like the stuff they put over freshly seeded yards... Years ago, I saw a tiny cabin made from straw bales ( wood frame, tin roof...)..the guy building it said he was going to cover the straw bales in some some sort of plaster, but I didn't see that happen. That is one cool shelter...

[@MBW4449]

You could wake up to deer eating your shelter. Maybe Squirrels and birds looking for nesting material will visit you.

[@kemgreene8525]

I would be scared to have that near an open campfire 🔥 because of ember hazardous "!!

[@JamesShelnutt2]

works great while it's 70 degrees with a cool breeze blowing and no mosquitos but when it starts raining or the bugs come around you'll wish you had something better

We should make hay shelters everywhere. Seems so calm and peaceful.

[@irmuggle]

I don't know which kind of shock until you got but since it doesn't have a plastic bottom. That's gonna be one with the paper shell so it's probably a 100 years. Older more you might want to look it up

[@QuietNerd]

Yea its prolly pretty old like your thinking

very cool shelter. great idea

[@MegaSusanc]

Awesome as always Quiet Nerd dude. I was really curious 🤔 how it would hold up in the rain. I think if you would have built it up in layers on top because it had that plastic it may have worked. But you sure did look comfortable in that hammock with that big ol sleeping bag, lol. Thank you for sharing your creative ideas i think they ate truly awesome. KEEP BEING CREATIVE GOD BLESS YOU

Have you thought about building a cart system for the sled? That way you can switch to snow to solid ground depending on the season. May give you a bit more mobility to haul things in and out of the bush. Great stuff as always, and looking forward to the Power of the sun build!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I think the struggle of pulling the stuff out there with nothing but man power is part of the fun for Him, also good exercise.

[@QuietNerd]

Wheels would be a nice addition for the cart but it has not been to hard for me to pull yet if I reach that point I might add wheels :D. And stay tuned I still have to edit some video and film a few parts for the flashlight video :D -Cheers!

[@MNSweet]

Was thinking why not just leave it there after removing everything that isn't biodegradable but then I realized that it's a giant tinder bundle in the middle of a dry fall forest. Smart for removing it.

[@thriftybins]

Was the straw shelter as warm or warmer than the carboard box structure?

[@deepwoodguy2]

Question:::: where do you find hay that is rolled up in a plastic netting... what is it usually used for ?? no rain, no strong breez, and no wolf's ... great video, thanks 👽👽🦆🦆

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

It's the same as the stuff that traditionally come with metal wire netting.

[@QuietNerd]

I got them at my local home depot I had to order them online and get them shipped to the store they are called erosion control blankets. I think they help grass grow or something I'm not 100 Percent sure. I'm glad you enjoyed the video - Cheers!
