Alex Built an M1079 Ex-Millitary truck into a tiny home to cross North and South America, Africa, and Europe after spending a few years traveling in his School Bus Conversion. Alex felt limited without 4x4 and kept getting stuck in the mud and the snow. So he bought a truck that literally can't get stuck. Alex is a true adventurer and having seen what he's capable of first hand I'm confident he'll see his dream to fruition. Follow his travels on Instagram here! / nomadic_alfo

“Hasn’t been ruined by instagram yet”…Amen to that…wishing this man finds peace somewhere.

@paulsheehan7287 Год назад

It was a great comment. I think I might use it some time in the near future.

@Wintershot Год назад

I'm somewhat of a traveller and I cannot express my upset at arriving at destinations that, just a few years before, were unspoilt places of wonder, which have now been littered with shacks, shops, bars, night clubs, etc, all to accomodate the influx of people who travelled there after seeing social media influencers promote them.

@555rerun Год назад

Except he’s just putting them on his own Instagram 🤦

@bradsimpson8724 Год назад

It would carry more weight if he didn't upload to Instagram three times a day using all the same filters and photography styles literally every other vanlife influencer does.

@TheDylanJoyce 11 месяцев назад

Either way, people are followers and copycats! Now that he posted this, EVERYONE’s gonna try to follow while it’s “trendy” that or talentless people will make “reaction” videos. I see what you mean though…

@missrebelmotodiaries Год назад

I met Alex in Utah when I was riding my motorcycle cross country and I was blown away with his skoolie. He’s a skilled person and knows his shit. Also, he’s an inspiring traveler. Wishing him all the best for his next adventure.

@MobileDwellings Год назад

My first time meeting Alex is when I was broken down in Joshua Tree needing a part and he was on a beeline for me with said part to get me back on the road and we had never met before. What a guy!

@TheHamburgler123 8 месяцев назад

As for size, it's still a big vehicle. It's certainly capable off-road but the width and length of your chassis can really limit some of your exploration options while offroading in places like National Forests here in the US. Not to mention the overall height of his vehicle. Your vehicle may be strong and rigid but mature trees are a lot more strong and rigid 😅.

This rig is incredible. This is flirting with perfection. I'm particularly impressed with the flexibility of the bed and/or dinette options. The open concept lends itself well to the space while adding the flexibility of hosting parties of varying sizes, even overnight. I am a fan Sir.

@carolinagoldbug983 9 месяцев назад

Good idea with the extra storage boxes you are planning. I know one thing I'D do. Increase the size of the fuel tank. Or add a tank. But 55-gallons ain't gonna cut it. Not for the remote places you're heading. At 7.8 mpg you're basically looking for a fuel stop every 300 miles or so.

@joesimonetti 9 месяцев назад

Agreed....I figured he would have dual tanks at least.

@shivamparekh7486 8 месяцев назад

I'm glad I found this comment, I was getting worried that no one had called that out. Does he realize how large South America and Africa are? Not only the fuel stops but he talks about the engine issues in the video. The cost of fuel on that trip is gonna be insane.

This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to create various types of garden buildings. The book provides clear and detailed instructions with numerous photos. ru-vid.comUgkxBE-xSmFU7PIaMFUmmhnFxE035s5svtxeAs a novice, I appreciated the book's step-by-step approach to the basics of building. The book also appeals to the more advanced DIY enthusiast with projects ranging from simple to complex. The book is up to date with the latest trends, such as solar panels, green roofs, and sweet chestnut shakes. The book has inspired me to pursue more projects in the future.

@Strategic_Reformer 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely amazing setup: only downside i can think of is the 7 MPG. It might not have been too expensive to buy and convert the rig itself, but that operating cost is HUGE. For reference, From the Alaskan Artic Coast down to the Dorian Gap in Panama is 7,400 miles. Being generous, 1000 gallons, at an 3.25 USD means $3,250 in gas costs alone
