The van camper meets it's final resting spot - high up in the trees! We convert a high mileage van into the perfect tree top truck redneck treehouse. This thing has everything!
We convert a high mileage Dodge Caravan into a wood stove heated stealth minivan camp and boondock. This stock dodge caravan is the perfect car to convert into a stealth camper because it looks completely ordinary from the outside and will not raise any suspicion at all.
We tear out all the original seats except for the drivers seat, install some unique and completely free custom wood floors, add a table, bed, shelves, and Ecoflow battery to power all the lights and appliances to keep us comfortable while camping out wherever the road takes us.
We tear out the engine, and all the excess weight, and lift the van way up high into the trees to enjoy and overnight in the woods.
I start the adventure with bringing everyone up to speed on the van build and show you how I put the entire stealth van together. I'll show you how to build a bed, install the fireplace, and rig up the solar panels. I then take the van on a test drive around the city and pick up overnight supplies from Walmart, and hit the fast food joints for some coffee and snacks. I then find a nice quiet spot down by the river to camp out overnight to get the full van life experience!
"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!
