TRUCK HOUSE LIFE - Episode 1 - Why? & Truck House Tour

[@natoe1987]

watching this in 2024, nice to see how things have aged well and held up due to you knowing what weather you're up against.

[@justin52517]

Yeah I just seen a more recent video and I liked the set up so I decided to go to the beginning and watch.

Discovered you a month ago. Enjoying binging all videos and watching the new ones same time progression how you do things. Keep living the good life.

Became my favorite channel by far. Feel like this is every dudes dream that is into multiple things. I like to mountain bike, canoe, hunt, camp, hike, hockey, hit music festivals, etc. this is my dream. Living most active dudes dream.

[@mattculbertson3654]

Found your channel a few weeks ago, I’m just getting a chance to watch your older videos and learn more about you. I really admire the way you live life. I’m a little envious! You mentioned your dad coming up from the north GA mountains. I live in the northwest corner of SC near the border with GA/NC. I’ve spent a lot of time in the mountains of GA/NC/SC/TN. It’s a beautiful place to live, but Alaska is truly beautiful. Hopefully when the kids are grown, I’ll be able to visit Alaska. Love your videos man. Living the adventures along with you. Also love the construction videos. Awesome channel!!!

Thanks! Yup, not poor do it cause I wanna:)

[@shanebeaudrot777]

I've seen your other video on this truck build but this video is the best. You did a great job planning and building a very efficient living space. I don't know what you do for a living but you could surely build some custom truck homes for other people. They would get better with each build as you gain knowledge. Enjoy your adventure.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks man, yup this one is for sale, if it sells I'll build another. Would like to make a business out of it one day.

I used to live in Girdwood back in 1981 or 82. I lived in a double wide mobile home right at the T getting on the main road. Used to be a Texaco gas station and a jewlery store right there as well. My Family ran the jewlery store. I miss Alaska so much it breaks my heart. Love your Channel.

[@brandonsanders9674]

Great design on your truck house! One of the best I’ve seen!!!

[@MrJMCookie]

I love your work, and your videos too. Awesome job on the Truck Home and some great tips on what you need, vs what you Don't need and how to do it right ! Thanks again.

[@dmeyer4321]

Amazing. This is by far the coolest tiny house I’ve seen and I watch a lot of tiny house nation. I really want the feel of camping while I’m on the road and I feel like this captures it! Also, it’s beautiful!

[@tom1959100]

Very nice job on your build!! I truly love how rustic it looks inside, plus the spray foam you used to insulate it.

[@dianemessina2964]

I am so jealous of your life style there is nothing boring about your life.This is much more appealing to me than my present living situation.

[@jimm2442]

Looks like you are really having a great time and have a fantastic home on wheels. I say enjoy and keep the videos coming. I do want to point out that when you mention that Americans spend 37% of their income on housing that when you buy a home in most areas of this country, and when you sell later in life that you do stand to get all your money plus much more back. We lived in a home we purchased for 27 years and when we sold that home not only did we get all our money back but walked away with over 500k in profit that we used to buy our retirement home / detached shop on 10 acres in the Sierra Mountains. We do have an RV and travel frequently and love that but having a home to return to is also really nice. Just our experience, I completely respect yours and wish you all the best.

[@TruckHouseLife]

very true!

[@tkelly1087]

buying a house has become much harder these days. Thats why many people would rather go this route than waste $ on rent.

[@jimm2442]

@@tkelly1087 It was just as hard 40 years ago when interest rates were 11%. We (my wife and I) had to work over 2 weeks just to pay the mortgage payment. Rent at that time was 1/4 of the cost. i'm not saying that our decision was the right decision for everyone but it certainly was for us.

This truck house set up is so cool! It looks really cozy too. Its like a mancave on your truck! Badass man. 👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks!

[@jpsmyth87]

Love everything about your tiny home and your truck

[@TruckHouseLife]

cheers man!

[@muserwood]

Love everything about it, Period. I designed my own camper with a solar-oven (polypropylene greenhouse panels) over the cab. This would get hot enough to not only cook with but also dry wood and clothes and have a vent system to help heat or cool (vents draw out the hot air) the living space. And instead of a woodstove, I designed a rocket mass stove that holds the heat longer. Whether any of this would be practical, who knows, but I can dream can't I? :D

[@DebDeBoop]

Watched June 18 2024! Nice to see how well it has held up. You did a good job Timmy!

Love it man! Just love it! Your style is perfect, laid back but also straight to the point. Made me want to keep watching. I just drove through Alaska this past summer and skipped right past girdwood (I'm told that was stupid) anyways, I grew to 58k subs in 2019 and I honestly think you could kill it on youtube full time, and I'm only 1:31 into the video! Lol I'm sure you have TONS of stories to tell and I want to motivate you to keep making videos because I think you've got something here. I hope to run into ya on the road someday!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks man I appreciate! I'm thinking about getting into making videos, but all my equipment is super outdated. I made this video with my cell phone video recorder, a tiny microphone And used my old 2010 Macbook with iMovie... Seems like you have to spend 3 or $4000 to get a Laptop that can handle editing, final cut pro or Adobe premiere pro and a decent camera to put out a decent looking video these days... I might look into it if there's enough interest:) Cheers and swing on by if you're ever up this way again

[@Down2Mob]

@@TruckHouseLife I would say just keep making videos with what you have and add to it as you can. A drone is the best money you can spend to really up your game in my opinion but of course needs to be flown a lot. The quality on this video was great. If I could recommend a camera, I use a $600 Panasonic vxf1 camcorder that has been amazing for vlogging, shooting wildlife with a great zoom, etc. But shoot, your phone is good enough for a lot of stuff. Anyways I'd love to see more videos. I subscribed and tapped the bell for notifications so I'll try and comment as much as possible to keep the engagement flowing! I really think you've got something here and I will definitely have to meetup with ya when I'm up that way again. Hopefully next summer

Killer setup! I've got the same truck and with my girl and i breaking up I think it's time to get out of California!

@@TruckHouseLife To start a KZbin channel I spent under $600 total for a Windows laptop (new, but I usually buy refurbished), a video camera with separate mic, a tripod, a video editing program (Filmora9) and a couple of royalty-free music subscriptions.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

ONLY thing “ghetto” about that door is that the insulation is visible, but even then it is only visible when opened (less than two total minutes in any 24 hour/1440 minute day) it would be real easy to yank the door off, plane a couple lath strips, plane off the proper amount from around the edge of the door and attach those oath strips and reseal, probably be done with the whole thing, including drying the wood seal before you had to go to bed...

Hello I watched your video on your Kimberly wood stove many many years ago! Great video then. I love what you did with this present home on wheels. It looks like you went with the same wood stove again? Curious as to if you had considered a different type of wood stove or camp stove! I live in Palmer Alaska and I am a Avid camper RV’r. I would love to actually look at your Home on wheels! I love your set up! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks:^) I looked into the cubic mini wood stove, but decided against it because of the extremely short burn times and lack of an ash tray (and I knew how well the Kimberly worked... sold my original Kimberly with my Toyota camper and got another Kimberly for this truck house). I'm also able to have a fire going while driving down the highway with the Kimberly... i didn't trust that I could with the cubic mini stove --- which means I would have to put the fire out every time before driving... so I stuck with the Kimberly. If you see me around feel free to knock on the door!
