This one was made by George Crawford. He is an instructor at a Primitive Skills Gathering called WinterCount. Where he teaches woodworking, joinery and making hand saws with old style tools.

    Just wonderful! So much fun stepping back 50 years. Have camped for decades and enjoy meeting the people who also camp, there are SO many characters out there and even more great stories! I am a runaway, at the campground at least from the time I could walk I would volunteer to take the trash or whatever just so I could look at other 'setups' and meet new people! One of the Gypsy campers I met while one of my walks later showed up near Big Stone Gap WV only to find out that she and my great Aunt Alice were friends. I love the maps and Modge Pog in my opinion is one of the best covering for maps. I love the attention to details. Thanks for sharing. We are all under the same sky!

    Years ago while traveling south between Aurora and Rising Sun Indiana we saw a red gypsy wagon camped along the Ohio River. Thought they had a white horse to pull it with but turned out to be a white mule. It was really a nice setup. My estimated date of seeing this was around 2001. We were pressed for time and didn't stop to chat. Wish we had.

    If I had 1/3 of his talent I’d at least give this a try. My dad had enough talent to build his own campers. 1 time he didn’t have enough wood so he used cardboard! Unfortunately we went through a place where it flooded and we had a couple of leaks but overall it was a great experience for a young girl, my age. We lost our dad this year at the age of 93.

    I do appreciate the older, low tech ways. In fact, to me what's daunting in designing my THOW is balancing NOT having too much modern conveniences, which can easily break down and cost me in the long run. The most priceless things I've learned about in the past 10 years--having been longterm unemployed at one point and things breaking down in my house and doing without until I could afford to fix or replace them--is that I CAN do without them, and still be comfortable. I'm glad I went through that as it's helped me become more minimalist minded and will make my THOW design much easier, and less expensive, to build. Wonderful video! Keep up the great work and information: it's invaluable! 😊

    George, I have not read all the comments so someone may have pointed this out already. The protectors over the locking mechanisms (anti-pry bar) are good, but the hinge pins can be popped off in seconds by an intruder, thus allowing your door to come off easily.
