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

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.

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…

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.

@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 😅.

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.

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.
