Mellow Sunday at the Cabin, Solar Power Solution for Operating this Off-Grid A-Frame: 4x4 Nomad Life
Hey Everyone on Planet Earth! Happy Sunday, hope your weekend has been a good one. I'm vacating the A-Frame cabin today and headed back out to truck camp. My truck is looking SWEEEEEET with all the upgrades so I look forward to filming a video about that soon. Lots of goodies to make living in my 4x4 truck more functional and enjoyable.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING
Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.
Self-sufficient means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.

Hi Funny Hunny, thanks for checking out my vids and for the kinds words! I feel really fortunate to be living this way and love hanging out with Barron and Elsa. We are planning to do some winter camping in the same general area so I look forward to spending more time with them once the snow starts flying. I feel really fortunate to be living this way, it's incredible! ~ Brian

I have anxiety and these videos really relax me thank you for letting us see your life
Just reading some of the comments...they want you in a cozy cabin as a home base . If there’s a snow storm ...even better! Take care 🇨🇦
I run a creative team of 25 people. We make lots of videos for a defense contractor. Just so you know, you’re videos do the most important thing; tell an interesting story. It’s good to take classes. But you’re good. 👍👍
Off grid South America would be so awesome 💚💙💜❤🧡💛
Do a Sierra cam. With a day in the life of her watching you
Such a pretty day you captured. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the truck upgrades. :)
Thank you for bringing us along
You and your dog are awesome. Keep the adventures coming 👍
Interesting what you were saying about going from AC to DC. So many of our appliances do this conversion and it seems like such a waste of energy. Love the videos and i'm totally with you on the living off grid thing, there is such a feeling of freedom that you can't get with regular house dwelling.
This is beyond peaceful and serene.
Congratulations on thehundredthousand subs. That is so awesome Brian I’m so happy and excited for you.
I know you have been a bit under the weather. Just keep getting stronger and feel better. God bless
Sierra is adorable and a very lucky little lady 🐕❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for explaining your power situation so well. Those were really good tips for me to hear. I do love how little you need and being able to travel freely is such a dream! Thanks for sharing.
Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are so right. I’m paring down to sell my house and live simple and happy! Keep inspiring us!
Thank you Brian for everything you do! 😊
You are living the dream life of my inner sustainable/simplified Karla. ;).
You, as well as others, inspire me. I'm a work in progress to live a minimalist lifestyle. It just resonates with me and it's SO inspiring to know others share my view. Like you, as I shed more "stuff" from my life I feel lighter and better. I bought and moved into a 21 foot trailer this year and although I'm still shedding stuff (40+ adult years of stuff) I LOVE living in the trailer and the fact I can clean it in 1 hour. Thanks for the inspiration.
Live your best life, must be great to wake up to that beautiful view!!!!
You are awesome and take care!!!

Thank you for the great comment, Joel! I'm glad my videos are helpful. I imagine one day I'll switch to a van...getting older and doing full-time 4x4 truck camping is starting to wear on me a bit. When I do end up making the switch down the road it's going to feel like I'm moving into the Taj Majal compared to my tiny truck! Have a great Sunday ~ Brian

Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 my friend I enjoy your videos
Hello I'm new to your channel and I love it. Thank you for sharing your journey. I know this is a long shot ...but are you still in Salida area ? There is a search by Andrew Morman (Suzanne's brother) for a missing woman-Suzanne Morphew- for the next 6 days they could use your help because you are so familiar with the area. They gather at 7-8 am in Salida 500 ish people. I thank you for any thing you can do...if you get this & your in the area still. Hope you are still feeling well.
Such a great little cabin!!!
Living the dream.That is an awesome cabin.

Safe travels!

Hello Brian I know if you really think about it you got more room there than you have in the back of your truck so you must be living high on the hog in there maybe you should build one and make improvements just to have is a place to kick back in every now and then and just chill maybe like in the winter months instead of that tent. But who knows that tent is definitely your den of iniquity you got lots of space in there that's for sure. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Stay safe and stay well and as always. God bless
Congrats on reaching 100K
Your almost at 100k 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I want what you an Sierra have ✌️ and i can’t wait to see how the truck turns out

Good Morning Barry, thank you for the well wishes. I'm glad you and your wife enjoy watching my videos, I really like sharing these experiences. Whereabouts in Nebraska are you? I grew up in Kansas and attended school at KSU. Always went up to Lincoln for games vs NU and enjoyed going to Omaha for the CWS. Western Nebraska is pretty nice, I like the terrain out there. Have a great start to the week ~ Brian
Yay! You 100k subscribers
" NICE" really like your creativity, love camping, & bush style, stay safe & keep posting, love watching your stuff, if you're ever in Indiana, have a couple of really neat spots, "TURKEY RUN STATE PARK " but anyway, be safe Friend !

Buy you some of those Harbor freight moving pads , they work good for hanging on walls and such
Use a tarp for a cover
That is a really neat cabin, what are the height, width, length dimensions of it.
That is a great view. I love that little A frame cabin. It would be perfect if you had a lake out in front of it.
Have you considered adding a rubber flap over the hinge? Might stop a bit of that airflow

I started following you from Elsa and Barrons channel! I also vlog with my go pro 7, do you use a mic? You seem to have good sound that doesn’t seem to make that muffling/rustling sound when you change hands/ move the stick. I tend to have this happen when I move mine around. Love that little A frame!
Hey brother thank you for all the content! I now eat dinner and watch your vids :) Also what issues did you have with the Tacoma?
Que bueno que quieras practicar el español 👍🏼
You've got a great travel and camp buddy lol. Cat's not so good lol. Love my cat but she's not a fan of travel or camping. Lol
Im a ICU nurse. Did I miss it? Was your health assessment okay? God bless and stay happy.

So my wife and I are getting ready to do van life full time. What system and software are you using for your video editing?
Where do you use the restroom
What Router company are you using now? You mentioned a few videos ago the last company was going out of biz. I’m full time in my Skoolie. Looking for a good solution for internet. WiFi hot spot not cutting it. ✨✌️✨
It's nice but there's no wood stove (?)
