I agree 100%. And, great at showing us every piece of the build. Very organized and concise. He's a talent all the way around!!

thats right

No pranks, challenges or dancing, no crazy editing, just a guy living out every young kids dream 👍🏻
Correction, every man's dream also.
So true. We all built all manner of shambolic outdoor houses. This would have been so amaaazing

@@en_vy You're missing my point.
cant find this kind of content anywhere anymore
This man is so prepared, he makes sure not a single thing is loose, he literally puts bolts and clamps on everything
So it's not going anywhere 😂👍
Lol if he clamps to the ground he could withstand a hurricane …good job dude you built it very well
One thing I love about your videos is just how appreciative you are to be there in the moment, in a vehicle you built, just eating pizza, throwing down a sleeping bag, and playing some video games out in the woods. It's heartwarming and frankly, inspirational
This is a 40-minute video, and NOT ONCE was I bored. Excellent narration and presentation bro! 😎
Ya because I skipped the building part 😤

bro is not a quiet nerd he is a amazing nerd
@@gamerboyraj8096it was still not boring for me even though i din't skip it
I didn’t notice it was a 40min video until you said it. Awesome content
This is the invention I imagined as a child, it's so awesome to see someone actually bring their ideas to life. Thank you for helping me daydream as an adult. May your video fuel young minds and open thoughtful possibilities for all!!!
SAME bro
Same too. I used to build a wooden car for me daily in my dreams and drive it to places 😊😅
DUDE same. I imagined rolling all around in my own little house on wheels like this.
I love the greenhouse idea because its waterproof and hot at the same time
and the tank wheels was a smart idea too
Omg man, I randomly came across your vid, probably because it aligns with a lot if what I watch. And man oh man from start to finish, this was a slice of heaven. Trekking it, being in the woods on your version of a people mover on a whole other level. Kudos and totes to you on this camper. So happy for you.
Do you want a adventure of this camper
It's criminal that this channel only has 70k subscribers, he deserves way more for his ingenuity and production value.
I concur!
I know 😊
he'll get there
I agree 👍 💯
He just started out. He's actually grown exponentially in subs!!

Really loving the simplicity of the build but yet done so right it is a masterpiece! Seeing you drive it and the smile on your face makes my day!
I LOVE not knowing what you're going to do next. Never would I have anticipated a homemade mini camper. This is amazing.
I'm glad you enjoy the variety :D Thanks for watching my content - Cheers!
Awesome right 👍

Here's a few things I notice that you can improve in a possible next design: 1. Wood Rotting/Degrading: from what I've seen in the video, you haven't put anything on the wood to help it prevent from rotting or taking damage from water. This is pretty important when camping in the middle of the forest. 2. Electronics Safety: When traversing the forest you encounter various different types of terrain and plants. The electronics are left open except for a little bit of electrical casing, but as someone who just got back from camping for a week straight, the electronics aren't the safest from the elements. 3. Height: The camper is VERY close to the ground, which for a lot of types of terrain, is NOT good at all. This just means that the bottom frame and electronics are more prone to taking damage from any rocks, dirt, or plants sticking out from the ground. Additionally, the low height of the camper means that there's a lot of terrain you can't go through with it. 4. Power: The power provided by your motor isn't enough to carry you uphill, and uphill is something you'll encounter a lot within the forest. This means if/when you need to go uphill, you'll likely be forced to pull it uphill instead of relying on the motor (something I wouldn't want to do). 5. Safe Food Storage: Many wild animals have a VERY great sense of smell. Meaning they can smell open food from MILES away. That being said, our simple camping foods smell like deluxe meals to any animals who smell it, and naturally, they'll want some of it. I doubt you want to wake up in the middle of the night face-to-face with a wild animal looking for your food. This is where things like Bear Boxes come in. They're safe ways to store your open food and prevent animals from being able to smell or access it. 6. Ventilation: As someone who again, just got back from camping for a week straight (in the summer near a less elevated campground), ventilation is ABSOLUTELY NECCESSARY. You can't always rely on a fan or electronics to keep you cool, so I HIGHLY recommend adding more ventilation. 7. Power: In longer camping trips, you won't always have a place to recharge your campers battery. Which usually means if it's out of battery, have fun pulling it the rest of the trip! I'd add a small solar panel or two that can be taken out of the camper and positioned anywhere on the floor (not on the campers roof) to give you a semi-reliable source of power and no need to worry as much about running out of battery. (Before replying to my comment, please note that I'm not responding to any replies because there are a few low-IQ people responding. These suggestions are intended to show things that can be done to improve this project and make it much more reliable and useful, rather than simply being something that will sit in a garage for years. I am aware that this project was not intended to be a full fledged wilderness survival camper.)
Where is break 😂😂😂
🤓
Also use a single piece of wood for each of the side rails instead of joining two smaller pieces, both stronger and lighter. The whole thing is completely impractical anyway
@@gunterisnomoredude speaking fax and you call him a nerd
you don't really think he built this to be practical😂
I am Muhammad from Iraq.. I saw your video by chance.. When I saw the rest, I was amazed by what you are doing.. Truly an amazing and wonderful thing.. Real creativity.. We always think about things, but our abilities cannot make us do them.. As for you, you think, build, and achieve.. Good luck...keep going ❤
No matter how hot it is outside, knee high socks will protect from bugbites, thorns, scratchy plants and poison ivy. If they are white socks you can see fleas and get them off before you get in your camper. Spiders eat the flighty bugs, and the crawly bugs, so say Hi and thank you. Very cool camper )))
This is the perfect content format. You're building peoples dreams man, I love how you go through the build process, then use everything you build with no click bait nonsense
You should get donations, then build them for homeless people, but put a solar cell to recharge the battery.
@@JK-zl7vv and where are the homeless going to put them. nobody want a homeless encampment in there neighbourhood. and how are the going to charge the battery.
I'm glad you enjoy the video :D I appreciate it! - Cheers
@@georgeh9967solar power would keep the batteries charged as mentioned in original comment
@@thefabulouslyamazingchristy solar in the forest. and what size panels can it carry. you know little about solar or electronics
Not sure what I'd think if I was walking through the woods stoned, as one does, and just saw this dude driving by in a yellow tent.
Lol
Lmao as one does
That motor is big enough. You just need larger diameter cable's , 2x batteries tied in parallel. Amp drop is what's lowering torque and acceleration. Someday setup solar panels to top up when you post at camp. You gan also get a harbor freight tools tail gate generating and a dc/dc converter like in RVs. Then you get 900w endless battery powered if you want to make it hybrid. Good for different terrain.

I love this! We watched this as a family. Obviously this is a prototype kind of thing and we had fun talking about our modifications to the idea. We decided we'd probably use PVC pipe to make the frame for the tent so you can push it to the edge. Then instead of greenhouse plastic we'd use mesh and seal it at the bottom so you can get a nice breeze. We would use bigger wheels so it sits higher and gives more ground clearance. And we'd probably put the battery in a closed box so that the battery doesn't get weathered. And maybe use a stadium chair when driving for more comfort? These ideas are an amalgamation of ideas we had with the kids. Thanks for giving us a jumping off point to have a really fun discussion!
Wow
That’s awesome
Right my son and I are loving this he definitely gave me the know how jump off point so can not wait
I like your family's idea of using a mesh material in replacement of the greenhouse plastic, makes it sound more breathable and refreshing. Also the PVC pipe is the same kind of idea I had when talking about the frame, I was even day dreaming during the video about adding like a hidden frame that if you wanted to, could fold out and make like a pop up canopy of sorts that can fold away and retain the shape of the cart when you're in travel mode and then a shaded canopy if you had the room to bring a fold chair. Would definitely be really neat to improve on this base model.
Right? This project sparks so much imagination! It'd be super fun to have a "mini camper" build competition!
I love how simple the build is. I usually see these crazy go-carts with lost of power, but this is something I can build in my own garage. its perfect.

@@saifahmed2098yo , yaha kya karra bhai ?
OK, the big questions: How far did you drive, and did you make it home on that single battery? That's sure a different idea you had, and it seemed to work well for you.
No
😮😅😂
Did have this vid in my "to watch list" for a while & I'm finally pulling the trigger. I absolutely love the MacGyver build & the "using stuff for other purposes than intended". In fact I probably would have used PVC from top to bottom because it can be found in any shape, form & thickness & it's durable, light & also insulated. I'm sure it was fun to build & I learned a few tricks along the way so thanks for filming, editing & uploading quality content.
The World needs more Nerds. 🥰
:D Yea!
😂that made me smile. That’s funny.
It would be pretty cool if later on you install a solar panel on it for the battery. you did a fantastic job on your little rig.🙂
It feels like cozy

It’s always crazy to me how Americans and Canadians always have every tool imaginable for every weird situation and also get things to an affordable price so projects like this are doable for teenagers etc in northamerica (also there is enough space and nomansland to even be able to explore compared to Europe) Keep living the dream!

You're very creative. It's so cool and fun to watch. You can add like a mosquito net that way you can still enjoy the camper with a little air coming in and keep out the bugs. Stay safe and keep on building
Yea bug net would have helped with the front open - I'm thinking of some improvements to make for the future version I might honestly re build it completly different still working on it all in my head it will be a future video for sure

I'd not have the courage to try something remotely close to this, but watching this video, and the joy it gave you, I can't help but feel a sense of freedom and being grateful for seeing you enjoying yourself like that. The build looks amazing, the idea is original, and the video was pretty chill and nice to watch. Congrats! Keep enjoying what you do!
I would have made it all wood so bears would have a hard time getting into it.
@@anniejones5806 I'd definitely feel safer that way haha. Maybe it could be a cool idea for his next projects to get a bigger motor and make it all of wood!
@@anniejones5806 Maybe there aren't bears where he is...Yeah I also don't like bears!
@@anniejones5806what about iron
I would replace some of the panels with window screen for ventilation, maybe over the front and back openings. I would also suggest that you bring along some poles so you can stake up your yellow tarp front and back as awnings. This is such a cool little camper! I could see members of my family going nuts wanting to try this out. I, unfortunately, think that a camper van with a big, soft bed and a bathroom is wonderful. I suspect that I am a glamper, not a camper.
He probably could have boughtA camper for his truck for cheaper and actually drove to the middle of the forest instead of from the tailgate of his truck to 50 feet into The forest.
No wanker is the word your looking for!!
Build a truck😊😊😊😊

you just enjoying the nature and your camper makes this video wholesome
What a fun idea! It turned out really well too. I can't even think of any improvements that wouldn't add more weight. All your campers, shelters, etc. are so cool and right up my alley. Great ways to enjoy the outdoors! I really enjoy your channel.
:D glad you enjoy the videos - Cheers
@@QuietNerd reminded me of avatar when they went to chop down the big tree, lol jk. I hope you do a more efficient more comfy longer range and maybe make it a land train. Really really liked it so cool
Love the idea but I have one concern I don’t know but I think you should add one or two 10x10cm holes in the foil where you could add mesh material for ventilation. Or maybe pack an CO2 detector to see if it reaches dangerously high. And just be safe adventuring
Exactly, that's what I was thinking, Where's the ventilation. Suffocation will take place
bro mad respect. for all you did. but just lets put this aside. How da hell can you be outside in the forest without any scare ? i mean. mother nature but i dont know. your alone in the forest . gives me chill.... very big respect!
I have never before subscribed a channel just by watching a single video.
I am planing the first camping trip with my family. All I have done so far just buying all the gears from Amazon. What you’ve done is a totally game changer. I am super enjoyed watching your video! You just earn a subscriber for your channel!
i think u should by more gears for your family instead
YT algorithm showed me your RE4 in the forest video and now I'm hooked. Don't even have an interest in camping but there's just something so calming about hearing you talk about things and cooking out in wilderness. For the first time in my life, I want to try going out and camping. Big sub from me!
41 seconds into the video, and I already in impressed
Cool stoner dude. He is so genuine and interesting to watch what he does
Regarding the treads: "I saw them online and just wanted to use them." This dude is a genius. I thought nothing would beat the Cheese Cube. 🙂
I loved that too!
The treads are pretty sweet I might get another set I'm just starting to think up a version 2.0 of the camper thats a more powerful build. It will be a future video for sure - Cheers!
@@QuietNerdcan I ask where online you bought them
This is the coolest camper I’ve seen by far. It’s so minimal but you still had everything you needed. I love it! New subscriber!
These videos could quite literally save homeless people’s lives. I was homeless for 4 years and would have loved something like this to call my own. Something to keep me feeling safe and something where I could feel I have true privacy. A barrier like this between the entire world when you have nothing would have meant everything to me at that time.
can you imagine how cozy that would be in a rainstorm
Using the greenhouse as the frame is absolutely genius
Awesome build! 👍 The one issue inherent to a greenhouse (by design) is potentially unbearable humidity levels inside. I would cut out and remove some sections of the clear sheeting and replace them with bug mesh sections, especially paired at opposite sides of the camper to permit through airflow. Then perhaps create correspondingly positioned flaps in the yellow tarpaulin that can be opened to expose the bug mesh sections, perhaps with velcro attached to secure them in the open position. The addition of velcro to other areas of the yellow tarpaulin would also help secure it in place when in each of the various open or folded-back positions you demonstrated. As would velcro mounted on the battery holder to ensure that the tarpaulin covers the battery and doesn't blow free during windy and rainy weather and result in water damage to the battery. Equipment-wise, I'd add a small folding camping table. This could be secured on the inside wall, or even have a mount to position it on the outside of the vehicle frame. Finally, the addition of a small grab handle to the front and rear bumpers would mean you could more easily lift the front or back end of the vehicle and spin it around 180 degrees resting on the other set of wheels when doing a bunch of three-point turns is impractical to turn the vehicle around. These might also help remove the vehicle from if it gets bogged or caught on something.
All great ideas!

@@MontanaPDX - Yes, that was my whole point.
I could not believe my eyes. This is awesome.
This was so awesome. I wish I was able to do something like this. I would have added some extra strength to the battery compartment. I would have added a wooden shelf underneath the basket. That way if you run over a hidden branch that the basket would not get caught
I think its an awesome project, and if u ask me i think you should upgrade it so that it can use larger front wheels. The tracks are as cool as hell! Awesome job!
Your editing, man. Just incredible pacing and narration. Well done. Super satisfying.

Get you some tools and build it
Hi, I just wanted to say that you're a fantastic guy and I can tell you have a good soul and heart. I admire you and watching your videos makes me feel really cozy. Take it easy! much love
Thank you! Very impressive DIY - from idea to performance! Good that you did put up a game cam, because when you spoke about the smell of a skunk I immediately thought about a cryptid being around. They seem to avoid ir cameras though, so that plus your kind soul probably kept you safe during night time. Good luck!
Imagine hiking around and you see this thing roll up.

Yay. Fresh upload. Love this channel
I'm glad you enjoy - Cheers!
Here's a cool idea for a future offshoot of this design: A water-based one, and throw on some Ardupilot to have it drive itself autonomously. Should be straightforward, just stick two propellers so you can use differential steering
Would make an awesome ice fishing hut, roll of the truck bed onto the ice and away you go. Thanks for the idea!
The Greenhouse idea for the roof was very creative and you should probably use that idea again. The Tarp that you used on the cover has a lot of potential in many builds and you have A LOT of it. Great video 👊
I understand how much effort it took to make this video…building,recording,editing…. Really loved your video❤❤
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
I saw your boat build but I think these little carts are my favorite so far. ❤
I have to say I really enjoyed this. I would have tried to pick an area with a lot less foliage however. You are a talented guy with a calming personality. I wish you much success on your channel.
Thank you! - Cheers!

Это охренительно. Снимаю шляпу.
YT Algorithm soo good to bring me to this video. Absolutely love it! Well done!
This guy is quite handy when it comes to building things. Never would've expected that from the first video i had watched. Also, the backwheels were an *excellent* choice for great traction on the soil!
Cool... Interesting to know how many hours would the battery stay charged up, plus guessing on the approximate weight of camper on wheels ? Thanks very impressive ingenuity at work n play !!! ❤🖖🙏
I’ve been stuck in your channel since early this morning and you have not once failed to amaze me. And each video has somehow topped the last! This video has made my entire weekend! 😂😊😊😊😊😊
Wow!!!!!!....greeting from Malaysia. I am 55 but looking at this guy's wonderful invention, it really bring back my childhood dream as others called.....a decent, simple yet functional tent on wheel, ready to roll whenever you want. Great job man........😂😂😂
Awesome! So clever. Might want to add some bug screens at front and back.
yea not a bad idea - Cheers!
You did a awesome job on the steering set up. The whole build was very well put together.
I love your channel and your videos (discovered you today) but I am a little worried, I am a camper myself and the only things I now about camping are from experience and ideas of mine. The thing that worries me is the difference in construction of camping tents and the one you usually use, since they have a mesh for insects and a waterproof layer for the rain, with a space between and usually some kind of vents so air can renovate. This las part is the one that I think is important. I just hope you have something to add some ventilation for when you sleep so you dont get posioned with your own carbon dioxide.
This guy just knows how to enjoy his life. We have smth to learn from him
Love this! So cool! I think you can actually buy screens now online, attachable or with magnets, to fully unzip and open the plastic greenhouse and get better air circulation in your tent without the bugs getting inside. Thank you for sharing your builds and adventures.
I love everything about this build, it's such a nice twist compared to your previous shelters.
Thanks! - Cheers
The fact that I used to draw things like these and imagine if it was real and here he is healing my inner child 😩❤️
