Off-Grid A-Frame Micro Cabin - Stayed Here While My Truck Was Getting Upgrades

Click Here harrys.com/offgrid to get your Starter Set from Harry's for $3!
Hey Everyone! Hope you are having a nice start to the weekend. Things here are good...I got my truck back from the 4x4 shop yesterday and everything looks good on the installs. I plan to do a video soon about that so I'll line it up within the next week. I stayed at my friend's a-frame cabin while my truck was in the shop and made this little video talking about it. Hope you enjoy this micro cabin in the woods!

    I remember last winter, when all of the wind in the world was coming through that camping area. Nice view of Harvard though. I summited Harvard on Labor Day weekend, in 1988 with my climbing buddy. I ran into a stewardess who worked for TWA just below the peak who was from my old hometown. She was the sister of a friend of mine. Small world. You need a cabin setup like that, but just a little bigger for an inclusion of a wood stove. Put that puppy on five acres and you'll have a good spot for hard wall winter camping. Well, take care Brian. Vaughn

    The fires have gotten bad in Washington too. We have many of our own fires, but then get smoke from california and Oregon also. Recently our AQI was over 200, smoke so thick that trees 10 feet away were hazy and leaves sprinkled with soot. It smelled like a week old wet ash tray. Other parts of the state got much worse (300+ AQI in cheney and 600 around Tri Cities). I’ve never been so happy to see rain in the hopes that it will prevent more fires and knock the smoke down. Anyway, love that little cabin and hope you are able to stay in areas with at least decent air quality! peace

    Wow I didn't think anybody needed plans to build an A-frame I mean after all it is probably one of the most basic structures there is. But hey who am I to judge. Brian I have to say that stuff you got wrapped around your head makes you look the part even more like a homeless guy trying to stay warm in the winter time cheers to you on that it must really be nice to have friends that have a frames in such a beautiful place as far as the fires go God I hope they're coming to an end real soon, as there's been so many trees lost it is just sad to think about that. Brian thank you for the great video and always sharing your stuff it's an inspiration which I am really hoping to do very soon I hope one day we run into each other out there buddy that way I can give Sierra pat on the head. Stay safe stay well and as always God bless

    Brian, when you quickly showed "moths" on 2nd floor, I was fairly sure what kind they are . . . especially, when you showed the mountain view out of that 2nd floor window with all the "Miller dirt" on the glass. Those Millers come through this area south of Cheyenne WY, too., on their way west to the mountains. I actually have a live miller on my wall right now. Better one than 6 or 7 of them flying around my light as they did some months back. Millers! No fun at all and were really bad this year.

    Hi Annie, welcome to my channel! No, I don't really ever stay with friends...maybe one or two nights a year at the most. I really enjoy being 100% self sufficient with showering and bathroom needs out here. The solar shower on my truck is awesome (currently heating up so I can shower...woohoo!) and I dig either cat holes for human waste or I use Clean Waste PETT bags with are Leave No Trace approved and do a great job sealing up human waste by encasing it in gel. They are approved to be disposed of in the dump so that's what I use while winter camping since the ground is frozen solid and digging cat holes isn't an option. If you have any other questions then just let me know! Have a great start to your weekend ~ Brian

I’ve never even gone, what you would probably consider pretend camping at a camp resort with cabins and bathrooms. I’m such a comfort snob but for some reason I’m so interested in your videos. They are so enjoyable to watch. Maybe someday I’ll take the plunge but for now I’m totally enjoying living through your videos. Keep on keeping on and thanks for sharing.
