Awesome gyspy wagon. And fantastic wood, leather & other stuff like metal workings. Just outrageously awesome.
I did not see the outside of the rig including the vehicle. Would have been nice if it was shown.
Breath taking!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 The skill & talent this guy has is off the charts! The backpack & overnight bag stole my heart😍😍. Cassie is a fantastic interviewer. Her voice is so calm & soothing. She could do voiceover work👌🏽 Thanks,Bob!😊❤️
The interviewer was fabulous. She needs to start her own channel. Great voice, great commentary.

@@SindyJ37 , Bob makes 6 figures with his KZread channel. She has the talent so she is a fool if she does it as a volunteer.
Very nice, KC. May I suggest that you shoot wide establishing shots of interior without bodies and exteriors too. This was a lovely video. Thank you.

Oh wow, I absolutely love this! Now I just need it to have a motor and cab so it doesn't have to be pulled! At 75 hookups have gotten too complicated for me. I must be part gypsy. George Crawford, you are gifted!
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!
Lovely quaint wagon
This is the first Vardo I have seen where the ceiling beams run front to back instead of side to side. Great feature. Inspired now. Great video.
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.
I have wanted a Vardo for years. This man and his ways, abilities etc... AND this Vardo are wonderful. Thank You for sharing this.
It would have been nice if you walked around the outside of the gypsy wagon.
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.
The gifted keeps giving. Beautiful craftsman, beautiful home❤️❤️
And this man made a beautifully detailed instructables page too for the build thank you it’s gorgeous!!!
This is a beautiful vardo !!! Thank you KC I bet you enjoyed the gathering!
Visually beautiful. But what really knocks me out are the acoustics. Nothing compares to wood.
Immaculate work, beautifully maintained, too! Than you!
What a beautiful build of the wagon... Well thought out and it shows the craftsmanship along with your leather making ... Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks!
This man and his wife are masters in organizing.
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! 😊
KC is amazing..thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this... I think I have seen this Wagon in So Cal. I love the idea of using a tool chest for your drawers, and you can often find these at Estate Sales and garage sales. Very ingenious!
Loved meeting George! What an incredible artist and craftsman. Fantastic interview. No substitute for knowledgeable questions like these. Well done.
What a beautiful build, would love to go to one of the getherings. That is the most arranged neat junk draws ever.
How amazing!! I would love to build a Gypsy Wagon Vardo. They are very unique and can be exquisite.
One of my favourite interviews, many thanks. This is definitely more to my liking than a high tech RV.
how wonderful to live in a piece of art you created - magnificent!!! 🙌🏻
Awesome! I love it!😊👍👍🚙🚐🚙🚚🚛🐌🐢🐌🐢🐌🐢🌻🦋🌻
✌❤beautiful build, what a gift he has.
Love the gypsy wagon! Kaycee does have a great voice! She sounds like this in person too. Nice guy!
I really love this gypsy wagon I loved it how he decorated it inside❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lovely. Great craftmanship in the build and leather. Thank you both for taking the time to share,
Your assistant is one say interviewer,great job.
It took an archaeologist to bring all of those magnificent details into a space such as a gypsy wagon. I've seen a number of gypsy wagons but none compare to George's!

Hey KC so glad you shot and posted this video👍😊. Heard that you attended this and wanted to know what it was all about. Thanks for sharing 👍😊❤️
Love you Bob!
I Totally, appreciate the locking tool box as when I brought my dad's here, it was too nice to leave in the barn so I have in the house, great place to secure items.
Charmingly cozy and well crafted.
Bob, this interview is over the top. I am a Civil War Reenactor and modern day backpacker. This interview means so much ! Thank you !
THANK YOU! This is wonderful information about WinterCount, George Crawford, and his information. I've looked at WinterCount website as well as Geoprge Crawford's website. Thanks you so much for going to the festival! Stay safe and well!
Excellent job KC!
What a nice guy, and so creative.
I really enjoyed this interview, great job KC. Beautiful Vardo.
That's an amazing caravan.
Very classy interview, KC. 😊🙃😊
Great video ! Beautiful work and design. KC you are so talented with your work on these presentations, but today I realized what a great voice you have. You really should do more of these.
I love it! For most of the same reasons my HW PUP camper is loved by me. 2024 I will start incorporating aesthetics of a Vardo/Gypsi wagon to make me happy. Thanks for sharing the video!
Thank you KC for this beautiful series !
Your home is so BEAUTIFUL. Thank you so much for sharing!
So cool and full of beautiful artistry. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Bob and KC! 👍❤️😍
Wow! Absolutely amazing!
Thanks Bob ,that was a great video. Loved it.
What a beautiful wagon. Very envious. :)
I love this type of Gypsy/Bardo wagon style with some camping gear that’s newer style camping stove and the old victorian style hinges etc. in the horseshoe hanging on the wall as well as many other beautiful old style lamps etc. I can appreciate his fine wood working skills and teaching those skills to other people who want to learn how to make their own projects. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home on wheels!👍

This is beautiful woodworking
So unique!!! I love it!!!
A beautiful work of art, and a very intelligent guy.
that was the most interesting trailer/ vardo i have ever saw, just beautifully crafted
Amazing. Truly spectacular.
Great video Bob That was very nice
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.
Wow! This was a really impressive build; so many details, and just very pleasing to the eyes. Very homey.
KC is great. My son is Casey. Same sound spelled differently. Wonderful interview. I love the Gypsy wagon!
Multi-talented! I love vardos and this one has so many great details. Gorgeous leather work, too!
Loved this. Great video.
This is beautiful! Love the metal door hinges.
Absolutely the best. I am inspritd to create my own vardo style old school camper.
Love the vardo wagon 💜 It gives me steampunk vibes
Totally interesting. A work of art no less. Amazing workmanship in an age of plastic and metal.
Thanks very nice video I liked your wagon 👍👍👍👍👍
I really love it! I have always wanted a wagon like his. 😊 thank you for sharing.
FANTASTIC!

This is so beautiful! I love there old English Gypsy wagons. This guy is so skillful and talented to be doing all these different kinds of handcrafted works of art. What a great video! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Very nice wagon. I love the unique dual purpose pieces, such great ideas.
It’s absolutely beautiful, he definitely is very talented!
Very Cool! Thanks KC! 🥰
So incredibly beautiful and functional!
I did maps on my walls once. It stuck on so well and lasted so loong that i couldnt peel it up. All i used was mod podge.
Stunning beauty! Well done, KC! Some year I'll make it to Wintercount.
Wow! Amazing! Love love love!!😍😍😍
Mad skills...! Very cool home.
Absolutely beautiful (and very practical).
When I was a kid. we had a guy that would come buy and live on the farm for awhile. his had iorn wheels and and pulled buy a pair of black mules. always made me dream of living that kind of life. never did do it , but this brought back of a lot of memories. he had his was stand on the out side of the wagon and I used to watch him shave. back then we had an out house so the problem of going to the bath room was no problem and yes we had a box of corn cobs red ones for the first and yellow for the rest of the job.
Wow that’s for me. Amazing artistic design. 🌻🌻
Great job on the video KC!! Very interesting.
Loved this wagon and the clever craftsman George is a treasure! What talent there is in peoples hands to make such great homes with so much love and passion. Awe inspiring! Thanks for sharing🌈👏👍
