We are Linnea and Akela. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

If I didn't know anything else about you, the way that you treat your dog tells me everything that I need to know. 😘
You are the example that you can do anything you put your mind to✨
Watching you makes me think of how much work people had to do just to survive through the winter through history. Thank you for sharing your seeking of discomfort and joyful dogs with us.
I am journeying through grief right now and you are reminding me of how joyful life can be when we follow our heart.
Great video! My only suggestion is 2 put some sort of screen over the vent hole to keep critters out that might be looking for shelter and perhaps a giant snack.
Love it! I will have to add that. Thanks!
(Also the phrase “giant snack” made me giggle haha)
I came here to suggest this as well. And check it often.
Yes good advise...
Hi @@Linneaandakela I've been watching your videos for a few months and I was wondering what freezer you use in your van. I'm in the process of designing my van and I'm looking for different options that people like.
How far is home from your site
THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY ROTT, SO SWEET!! AREN'T THEY! HAPPY FOR YALL LIVING/DOING HOW YOU WANT!
A little trick I learned in drumline to keep your toes warm: put a little baggie over each sock, inside the shoe. Not the kind with the ziplock. Just plain sandwich bags. Sock, then bag, then shoe. Makes any shoe WAY warmer . Including winter boots. Make sure the bag isn't tight around your toes, but it has room to move a little
Tip, old tin trash can, line with lawn & leaf or industrial trash bag. They are thick , durable and sturdy.
Chris is such a lucky man. You are a dream.
Omg the dogs r having so much fun it just makes me sooooo happy.
LINNEA PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!
I have a ram promaster too. I live in Yukon Canada. I discovered if a lot of snow gets into the vent on the hood where the air intake is, you can end up with a big chunk of ice inside the air intake. Now I put a tarp over my windshield and upper part of the hood overnight or when it snows. Plus I pop the hood once a week to make sure no snow has gotten in anyway. I hope this saves you some trouble this winter!!
Linnea....after you install your cubic mini....you will be as warm and cozy as your veggies are!
You Rock, girl👏👏
Love the bloopers!!
I love your bloopers at the end 😊
That is one impressive root cellar! You are my hero! 🥰🇨🇦
Beautiful home we raised our kids in the cold north woods 🎉nothing better!!! horses dogs and snow and fun!!! Couple of my friends lived in Yurts 😊You are such an amazing young woman!!! What a great video 🎉
Yes it is beautiful up there. The kids were working so hard at play while you were working so hard on the root cellar. Be careful.
you are incredible
Everytime I watch your videos I have to immediately find my dog for snuggles.
Akela has the best morning energy. She has strong “five more minute” vibes. How lucky to have two sweet dog friends in your life ❤️❤️
I love the puppies
Watching you continue with you Winter plan on getting ready is amazing. Your not afraid to face a challenge. I’m glad you have Akela and Kobuck entertaining you and putting a smile on your face and your viewers and of course myself lol can’t wait for your next video 🙏🤗❤️
This was so interesting.Thanks for sharing!
Watching the dogs play is better than any Netflix show and watching you do what you (& Chris, when he’s there) do-I learn way more than any DIY show! Wow! That sounds super corny!😂 But from the heart ❤ none the less! Give that cuddly sweet Akela an extra hug from me! Thank you for sharing! 🤗
Way to go amazing job!!! You should be so proud!!!!
Love ❤️
You might want to get a larger orange "sweater" for the dogs. Recommended is at least 500 square inches of blaze orange to be worn during deer hunting season.
Putting the Blaze Orange on the dogs was a good idea. I hope you consider doing the same for yourself. Especially with those deer colored pants you are wearing.
That root cellar is brilliant! Thank for sharing. My pups were wearing lime green, fat, neck bands the idea of them together up here in the northwoods of Wisco makes me chuckle!
Your content is so good, So enjoyable, I’m catching up quickly!
An old home I bought yrs. Ago had a rectangle wood frame w/a slope pitch n roof on it.?? We lifted it up and they had 3 55 gal drums buried in sand and wood lids on the drums but the old couple always had big gardens and stored the root veggies in these drums..
I ❤️ your videos ! Y'all got this 👍🏻
The bloopers slayed me 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing and the ending😆
I grew up in Wisconsin, I am looking forward to your videos during the winter.
YOU GO, YOU BADASS GYRL!!
I am LOL about the dogs and your facial expressions are PRICELESS🥰♥️🥰♥️🎄🎄🎄
Agreed! So great.
Good idea for the Dogs safety
The babies have their winter coats ....so beautiful
I have known this since I started watching your channel BUT it bares repeating, YOU are an AMAZING bad ass woman! This sort of freezing my butt off situation is NOT for me lol but I will enjoy watching you guys! The bloopers are absolutely epic please include them ALL winter long! LOL
Same. A purely vicarious enjoyment. 🙂
The accessibility might hamper your efforts to get the veggies out. I'm envisioning you head first in the garbage can with your feet sticking out the top. Better ask Chris to hold your feet. LOL. I'm thinking several round shelves with a handle through them might make access easier. But the packing of the straw wouldn't work unless the shelves had a lip around the outer edge. Is that necessary to keep them from freezing? Ditch the leaves. Parasites use fallen leaves to hide and disseminate. Straw is more hardy against mold. It's the better choice. But I'm pretty impressed you dug so deep to get that can in there. Often times I get maybe a foot deep and just can't get any further.
Rootcellar 👌🏻👍🏻
Love the video of Kobuk and Akela playing in the snow. Reminds me of my sweet shepherds! I miss them so much!!
You must have decided against the wood burning stove!!! Can't wait to see how this goes! Good luck & please try to stay warm
Love all the videos from Orillia Ontario Canada
I love watching the dogs just play together they are soo beautiful. You got this Linnea you are stronger than you realize.
Thanks for the AG1 link, I placed an order.
You were born in the wrong century (or the right one to teach even this old lady how to do it!!) loved the “oopsy” vid. Excited to see more of your adventure!
You do an amazing amount of work in one day. I know you are young, but still....wow.
no need for a 'solid' schedule, we will be here
Awesome job!!! I loved this video. You’re inspiring me, or should I say enabling me to be more self sufficient! Also… loved the bloopers at the end!😅👍
Do you guys have booties for the dogs paws? They'll find the cold painful after a while. Could end up with dry cracked pads. Get "bag balm". It's like Vaseline it's made for cow teats. Works great for human hands too.
I am so excited for your winter adventures and loving the chaos! Thanks for letting us in your life! Learning new things everytime I watch your videos.
Bet ya found a lot of roots in the first spot you dug. You need a post hole digger. Need to put rocks in your hole to keep it from plugging up the holes drilled in bottom of can.
I am totally enjoying watching your entire 'prep for winter' adventure; and am looking forward to more. I think you are amazing and have endless energy. Loved watching the dogs have so much fun.
My Puppers Thrall says hi to Akela and Kobi
For the future there is tool called pick axe which really cuts down the work:)
Since it is hunting season maybe a few orange flags on your vehicles or a few on a clothes line between a few trees would stop people hunting in that area . Don't want any stray bullets flying !!!!!
Could it get any better than waking up between 2 big dogs ?
I think your going to need a bigger root celler then the one garbage can. Looks like enough for a couple weeks. Another is to have some kind of transportation out of there if push come shove. Snow mobile maybe.
❤hello there
Another great video!! Your killing it! All the hard work and prep...be proud! You waking up with your head on Akela....that's the good stuff❤
Super impressive Linnea. My back hurts just watching. Enjoy your winter!
Great idea for the root cellar!!
A friend of mine tailered two safety vests for her dogs since many think they're "wolves" out in the woods. Great idea! Don't forget to get a hat for yourself too!
All those holes in the garbage cans will give a place for rust to start. Should have been painted with a spray can of Rustoleum paint. Maybe later but should be done before melt.
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Noelle from this season of Survivor? Such a close resemblance!
I hope cutting the roots doesn't damage the trees
We have a short bus skoolie and put in a cubic mini! It's a great little heat source and so darn cute too with that fireplace front! We ran the pipe out the back where there was already a hole where the big signal lights used to be. I love that you can burn a few pine cones or whatever else you find on the ground and heat the bus in minutes! The bummer is that the stove is SO small it's hard to keep it going for long without feeding it; need some really good hardwood chunks for night time! Good luck, I'm sure you'll do just fine with the installation! :)
literally living my dream
Really great idea!
Love the bloopers 😁
Im slowly making my way through ypur winter playlist and hoping no veg became snacks for voles and mice.
😀 GO Linnea! Great share and video! THANKS MUCH and LOVE seeing the pups having fun :) ALL THE BEST and Cheers !
Great job. Looks amazing. You might want to put a wire screen heavy duty one over the vent hole. Those little animals can be tough 😂. I learned that the hard way. Great video
Good job....you work very hard and productive. Love both dogs! Glad you put the loud color around your dogs necks. About 1935, in Alaska, my grandfather, from Sweden, was working in the woods and a hunter heard him and shot him in his arm . He was brought to a Dr. That was drunk and he cut his arm off. But Grandpa was a strong short man and still worked very hard with a hook and never complained. Just to back up your reasoning about your 🐕's. See ya from Central Oklahoma
Can't get enough of this journey! Thank you for sharing!
Awe, Great therapy! I had a ROUGH Monday & watching the puppies play hit the spot. Thank you for sharing.🤟🤗
Great job on the root cellar! 👍
Good luck on your winter in the North Woods! Thank you for filming and sharing the journey. I am so excited to watch and will be rooting for you guys that you achieve everything you want to! ♥♥
Looking forward to the wood stove install as well! Great idea for the root cellar!!!!
Not used to seeing the nail polish. Lot of work digging, you need a spud bar!
The root cellar looks like it should work fine.Good job digging the hole too.Can't wait for the wood stove video.There are a few vans here in Montana with stove pipes poking out of the roof.
When I think of north woods, it's what northern maine timber land is called
More blooper reels!!
What an incredible location to spend your winter. I’ve lived in the snow and through very cold temps and there were some rough times but I have learned, so much, from every experience. It may be a tough winter but you will come out a stronger woman, at the end. Thanks for sharing
Good job Linnea!
Good job girl! You Rock. It will be so fun to see this journey!
Good job 👍
Excellent root cellar for homesteading!
Thanks for sharing
Elsa rhae and barron have an awesome cubic mini install video if you want some motivation from some cool people!
Awesome project! Those babies looked so happy to be able to play all day❤🐕
Thank you for sharing this experience! I know you guys will make the most incredible memories! Learn and enjoy!
Girl. That root cellar - brilliant! Lots of hard work for sure but hopefully worth all the effort. But those out-takes? Hilarious and I loved those!
Happy Day, Linnea. Glad all is falling into place for you. Question, looking to get a larger van, how's your promaster handle the snow. Fwd, good set of snow tires, and the weight should be good?
🥰
Problem: This cover needs to be vented. Answer from Linnea: "pickaxe looks good." 😀
Awesome video! You are a true badass! 💕
This is going to be so fun watching how you guys get through this! Can’t say I miss those Wisconsin winters.😉✌️
I am sitting here still in pajamas on a beautiful day without any snow or freezing weather and haven't accomplished a thing and after watching this I am getting up to accomplish something 😂
Hahahah Love the blooper reel xD hope you keep it in future vids
Stay awesome you guys
@linnea so how hot does the new tiny fire actually get ? Also please post a full video if you have one
You youthful energy is amazing.
Loving your channel. We have property in Burnett County and it's honestly just a slice of heaven for me. I'll be following your adventures and sending you all the good vibes for winter and beyond. ❤
