I’m Kevin! I live in a truck camper and love to snowboard , mountain bike and anything outdoors!!! Join me and my truck camper as I take you on my journey and tell you about the Rv lifestyle and tiny home living!
keep on going Brother you are doing great figuring it all out you have a head on your shoulders and are well on you're way to 100 THOUSAND keep it real keep it honest and just be yourself as you have been. People will like you just as you are . I spend a lot of time on the island you may want to winter there it will be much more kind weather wise and then continue on . Head up to Mt Washington you will find seasonal work and and put some cash in your pocket so you can carry on next spring . Just some friendly ideas
Kevin as a person who employed MANY people I would be more concerned on your job performance and you being upfront and honest with me that you are just passing through...tell me upfront that you are putting some cash in your pocket and moving on and just give me a 100% while you work for me and I will give you 100% of what you earned and WE will likely be friends for life
Hey Kevin, I am new to your channel (came over from Kenny of all Trades) and really enjoying your videos. Amazing views on your hikes. Question for you. Maybe you’ve mentioned in other videos but what watch do you have for tracking all your hikes? I am looking for something to buy and yours seems to provide lot info and quick/easy to ready while on the go. Thanks for any info. I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos to allow us to experience so much through your camera lens. Stay safe out there!
Hey thanks for coming over!! I use the Apple Watch SE, I film and daily driver phone is a iPhone and watching lots of reviews for fitness tracking the Apple Watch ranked very high and my only grime with it is the battery life a little bit, a multi day hike it would not last without a charge, look into garmin for real long battery life
We’re retired Americans in a Promaster and usually we spend summers in the US and Canada answers in southern Mexico to stay in the heat. Doing it when you’re young is harder but I hope it’s worth it. Seems to be for you.
Wow the people with lots of money saying “go south in the winter “ . Not everyone has that kind of money . Great video ! Not everyone has to live in a sticks and bricks !
A few thoughts about what you spoke about. 1) Take the money you are saving and invest it, maybe to a property where you can rent to carry the costs etc? 2) Look into a better electrical setup. EPOCH 460 amp/hr battery is great for the price and combine with good quality inverter like victron, solar on the roof and also a dc/DC charger from the alternator on the truck. This could help you save a lot of propane for heating. Also could consider a diesel heater in pla e of your current furnace. More efficient and a dry heat where propane causes lots of moisture. Will prowse for technical knowledge and explorist life for how to install electrical systems are great resources. 3) With regards to your home address, use a friend or family member if available or a UPS Store for mail purposes. This becomes your address, and you can avoid even talking about living in your truck camper. Good luck to you. 🙏
I sold my place in 2016 with the intention of purchasing again after renting for a couple years. Eight years later and I really have no desire to get back into home ownership. Now I travel when and where I want in my home on wheels and invest my savings. For me, it’s a win-win situation! Congrats Kevin on reaching 7K subscribers! Your hard work is paying off😊
Hello, thank you for the informative video. I'm in the process of doing a CTC project. I've bought a house quiet some time ago & has saved me much money to do renovations on it. Like you, I've grown to not like the location for many reasons over the years. I was going to rent it out the 1st year I was on the road to see how I liked traveling around, but in the last year my property taxes have doubled🫤.So I have decided to sell instead. I've got about 3 years before I can retire( if I can make it that long)wish I could do it sooner so I would not be wasting the $ on property taxes. We shall see, the sooner the better. Not to bore you anymore, thank you for making videos that are enjoyable. The outdoors can not be beat in my mind. Thanks again✌️UC
People in Arizona go up to higher elevation in the summer where it's cooler, then when the snow start, they go down to the desert during the winter where it's 70 and 80. That's how they do it. I got an AC on the top of my truck camper but I use a Honda 2000 generator to run it. I'm keeping the rooftop AC/Heater and cutting another hole and installing a MaxAir Fresh/Exhaust Fan after I pay for the new air shocks on my GMC 1500 (original shocks are over 20 years old now, the truck is a 2003).
Do you have a line of merch ? Thought about it if not ? I think there is a nice income in that if your good at picking out what the public wants hoodies T-shirts bumper stickers ect Also doing reviews on product the manufacturer sends you would be cool you might increase your subscription rate doing them I myself love to watch RU-vidrs do reviews ! Just more food for thought ✌🏻
I lived and worked out of a truck camper for quite a few years. I wouldn’t worry about it. If you decide to winter on the island there would be work. Heck, I’d hire ya!
Hey thought you said in your cost video summer vs winter that you paid 2300 dollars a month ?? You mean to tell me you can’t find an apartment for under that ? Then what you said about living in a house if you could is wrong I’m in the states and I know there are places places for 1100 you pay elec and some times they throw in water and trash for free and if they don’t you get apartment community rates the other thing I might mention is a mini split AC unit there do it yourself and I want to say they run on DC I watch another channel and the guy put the out unit on the back of the camper it fits perfect not a big footprint and I think he runs it off solar on the roof of the camper and supplements that with panels set outside the camper maybe you have seen a similar setup ? Maybe Mr cool could send you a freebie for you to do a review video on. Just some thought you prob already heard. Lol
lol actually most one bedroom apartments in Canada are almost that much in a lot of ski towns and major cities, 2300 a month is how much it costs me to live in the truck camper and that’s all my expenses for the month ,Phone bill, fuel ,food, miscellaneous lol
Kevin, totally enjoyed the topic. Have you considered cutting your propane bill by traveling to the southern US states during the winter? You could still work but the temps would not be as drastic. If you do a live stream please give us notice so that you have better attendance.
I totally agree with what you said about living somewhere that you don't like. At first I thought it was a good move but after a couple of years I really didn't like being where I was. After a couple more years I convinced my husband to move to the Oregon coast. After 7 years I still love it here. We have a truck and camper too and I use them to go camping/riding with my horse. Moral is, find your joy where you can, wherever or whatever it is.
Good for you buddy!! keep doing what is making you feel good!! I only wish I was 30 years younger and doing what you are doing. enjoy your travels and adventures while you are able. Cheers. ❤️❤️
Your living the dream I want. The only thing is why don't you have a campfire to cook on like, Kenny of all Trades... But most of all you're living my dream..
Always looking forward to your posts! Curious to see where this goes! I'm sure great places and great things will come your way. Sure there will always be bumps in the road, but they will pass and you will continue to thrive doing things that make you happy! Have at it!!!
Don’t second guess yourself on past decisions. You made them and it’s behind you. Look forward and follow the goal. Who knows where we all will be in a year and make the best decisions you can moving forward! Love the vids and sending positive vibes 🙏! Yes on Q/A. All the best
I am a pensioner also. I used to have a 1970 VW Bus, which I redid the interior as a vintage gypsy wagon. It has no insulation. What I did was create a full vehicle awning. It was lifted off the roof of the vehicle by four inches and the awning not only covered the entire vehicle but also extended six feet all the way around so in summer I always had shade and the interior of the bus was reduced by about 20 degrees. I also made window and door screen to keep bugs out yet allow air flow. Air flow is important in the heat. I also had USB powered fans inside powered by a goal zero power bank. When it's hot out a simple elevated cover over entire vehicle helps a lot but make sure that you have at least four or more inches between the roof of your camper/vehicle and the awning/ shade cloth covering as that air flow between the two is important!
Live stream! Also, do you need a specific number of subscribers to do Patreon? Or is that separate? You need to make $$$ doing this so we can keep living through you 😅
i am in pretty much in the same boat as you, had a bouse in Bruderheim, Alberta, wanted to sell it and buy a travel trailer and move to Edmonton in an apartment and do more exploring, then Covid hit, got laid off, took about 2 years to sell my place as well, had a job that I was not happy with, once Covid hit, I got laid off (best thing ever) then moved to Pincher Creek (Cowley) and had a small business there, now I am back in Edmonton (moved back home) and looking at a Camper for my 2005 F350 and work freelance all over Canada and the US, working on that project as we speak! good inspiration dude!
Congrats on 7k(bean here since just over 1k) subs....and your audio is so much better with the new mic.

Looking forward to more and watching you grow as a content creator.
