Vintage Camper Life - Moving Forward Without Sierra During A Snowstorm At My Property
It's been quiet around here but I'm making due by keeping myself busy. I'm doing much better after processing this loss for a few days. Sierra sure was special and I plan to honor her by continuing to spend as much time in nature as I possibly can. Thank you all for the outpouring of support, it means the absolute world to me. ~ Brian

Hey Everyone! Hope you all are having a great start to the week! As I'm sure you've probably heard, there is a snowstorm hitting mountain communities in the Western US at the moment so this video is dedicated to the upcoming winter camping season. This is absolutely my favorite time of the year!

Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.

Really happy with all the progress in 2023, look forward to rounding out the second half of the year getting lots more accomplished. How COOL is the Historic Ranch Road near my place? I love to take this road into town to get supplies, it's such a peaceful drive. Hope you all enjoy today's episode, have a great day! ~ Brian & Sierra

Ahhh, there's nothing quite like the ambiance of a wood stove. In the video I show how I installed my wood stove using only welding blankets as a DIY heat shield and stove jack. The supplies to install this stove and make the stove jack only cost $40.00. I've now installed another layer of welding blankets to give an extra layer of heat protection. I'll be sure to talk about that in the next video. Thanks for tuning in, have a great weekend!

Hey Everyone! (product links below) I am at an absolutely incredible campsite with 1,500 year old Bristlecone Pine Trees...how cool is that?! I promised my friend I would not give out this super secret location so I need to stay true to my word. However, I would like to show you a tour of this area and give you an idea as to what I've been up to the past few days living as a full-time nomad in the American West. Hope you all have had a great weekend, enjoy the video!

I'm currently in the Midwest and took a break from my folks place to check out some lakes in southern Kansas. I ran across a wildlife photographer this morning who told me how to access a private ranch (with permission) to check out a LEGIT old school medicine wagon. I was floored was what I saw, definitely a cool experience. I didn't think any of these existed any longer. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

Nothing like a nice afternoon snow storm to help make a lazy Monday even more mellow. I love hot tent camping when snow is coming down outside. Thoroughly enjoying the solitude here in Central Colorado! I wonder how much accumulation I'll be receiving?
