Not just one phenomenal builder and content creator but two who are both legendary in their own right, you and Dave as a couple are so absolutely cool 🌲
Brooke, you and your husband never fail to inspire, inform and entertain. If someone is a little nervous about starting a project alone, involve family or friends, but get on with doing something with your hands. As much as possible learn to be self-sufficient and develop the habit of employing down to earth practical skills rather than doing things the easiest way. The kind of skills and habits that kept our ancestors alive and thriving before modern life.
@@charlesknight3204 Merry Christmas and God bless you! We all need the reminder that Jesus is the only way to be saved. Perhaps less presents this year for many, but the greatest Present has been given and can never be taken away.
OMG. I"m so thrilled to see this. Thanks for buying my book. Thanks for taking on a build like this and thank you for making this video. The result is stunning and I'm humbled that something I've built many times would be replicated like this. Thank you so much. Means a lot to me and I'm glad that it worked out for you as the results clearly show! :)
OH I'm so glad you reached out! Thanks so much for the awesome book and inspiration! Hope you get a big uptick in book sales and I'm sure you'll see more of these pop up in a few months- I've had quite a few people tell me they're going to build it. LOL Again- the book was great to follow along with and I really appreciate the help it gave me! THANK YOU CHRIS!
@girlinthewoodz do you have the Amazon link for the light brown Tassels you used for trim please? I'm building out my van as a live in camper (to go traveling and downsizing by choice) and would love to finish some edges with them! 🌞
@@therealgirlinthewoods I'm glad that my book and videos inspired you to tackle this project. Like you said, it involves some work (and core strength). The end result speaks for itself though. I love how you really did it with a minimal amount of tools as well.
@@TinyIndustrial Thank you! By the way- your suggestion for the oscillating tool was spot on. Never had used one and man it got me out of several tight spots I got myself into on this build! It's my new favorite tool! It's the only tool I bought specifically for this project. The rest we just use all the time for other builds.
You never cease to amaze me with your willingness to learn, go through the frustrations and come out the other side with something truly gorgeous and unique. Congratulations, Brooke!
I met a random gentleman in Starbucks today. As we talked about our love for the outdoors and my wish to be a homesteader, he recommended this channel. His words, “you’ll be hooked”. So right he is. Thank you my new best friend Craig. This is an amazing channel!
Absolutely adorable and fanciful. I cannot say precisely what is best, but your outside adventure art really makes this a one-of-a-kind Girl in the Woods wagon. Well done!! Now all you need is a Gypsy Vanner horse and sleigh bells! You will be traveling in style!
Woman , well done. I am a retired master carpenter and have built factories , houses , furniture , trailers and boats. You can do it all. I understand your thoughtful , organized approach which help you satify that itch. Your outcomes are marvellous to behold. You show great pride in your work and so you should. Love your dogs. Paul in Canada
Wow. I look at your creation and I think about your Fire Challenge to us regular folk, and my mind is blown between the two. You blow my socks off Brooke, and you are my mentor. Although, I must confess, I'm not prepared to do the work that you do to make it all happen. Much respect to you. You are always representing the wild side. Beauty and inspiration and sweat and muscle! I'm reading a book right now "The Midnight Library", and in the alternate life I live, it would be yours. Damn, girl.
Brooke, Loving your gypsy wagon....you never cease to amaze us. What a cozy ambience with your lighting, woodstove, and record player! The crowning glory is the dutch door, bubble windows and artwork on the outside. Everything you need for a cozy home. You are such an inspiration to others....a builder with an artistic flair!
I love this build. I think it’s my favorite so far. You are such an inspiration, so entertaining. Watching how much you love your pets is a joy. You and Dave are both wonderful. I love the art work especially and the sun and the little Brooke’s. 😊
Brooke, you can do anything! What a beautiful build. I love all the personal touches and how you're not afraid to show your mistakes and then fix them. You offer great inspiration!
I absolutely love your Gypsy wagon! You are so creative and made it look wonderful. Showing your mistakes (there weren't many) helps give courage to us who hesitate to begin for fear of mistakes. So inspiring! Thank you!
Oh my gosh! I just love what you did and all the hard work you put into every detail of this project! You are quite an inspiration, Brooke! What a functioning work of art!!! This must've been so satisfying... frustrating at times, but don't you just love it when a plan comes together?! Sooooo coool!
Wow, Brooke! I haven't been so focused on watching a video until this one. This is absolutely beautiful, fantastic, gorgeous, incredible, and any other words you want to add. You simply did an awesome job, my friend! Moose wasn't stealing items. He was just making sure everything was put up safely for you! He was just helping out. 😇 Excellent video, Brooke. Can't wait to see this taken on a journey. As always, take care and be safe. See you next time.
I love absolutely EVERYTHING about you, your artwork (WOW!) your teaching, sharing, ideas about life, nature, etc. You are a natural, SO generous, beautiful, funny woman, in front of your camera, you're shining Girl!! ... and what a superhard worker you are !! You are SO talented and I know, it's coming from all of your work and experiences. Following you for a while, you amaze me each time. Thank you, with all of my heart. Take good care of you!
I can't remember when I've enjoyed a video so much. I never wanted it to end. Thank you for making and sharing this. Every moment watching was fascinating, educational and fun. Your dogs, cats, beautiful open fields, your skills, excellent videography, narration and casual demeanor, all coalesced into a very special video I will rewatch periodically, as a learning tool, and just for fun.
At 66 years young, working with wood has become my hobby. Looking back, I think I got the bug watching you build your little cabin, what was that, two years ago? It's a thrill to watch this build as I can understand pretty much what you're doing, and how easily the mistakes can happen. But you're smart and don't give up, just fix 'em up! Thanks Brooke.
My parents had a home build involving an old milk delivery truck from the 1940's, mom kept a standard rake to reach under the bed and pull things out, that idea may work for you, maybe as a useful decorative item on the wall. P.S. I love your finish!!!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new, or something I should have known, or even at times something I knew but had forgotten years ago. I love the approach to life you share. Makes me happy. Thanks.
Here's another thing that really impressed me about you building this unique gypsy wagon. How you did the sink and put the pipe in there. You know how to sweat copper, girl! And that in itself is quite impressive! You know how to run a jigsaw a circular saw you know how to use a square. You are my kind of person. My husband and I built our house and he recently passed away on September 3rd this year and I miss him greatly and the little bugger actually decided to leave on our anniversary day. We were married 34 years. And had the time of our life, Building our own house on 13 telephone poles and it sits off the ground by 3 ft all the way around. You can crawl totally under our house. 360 in a form of a square. People ask us well. How do you keep your water line from freezing coming up into your house. That's simple. You drive a thick wall PVC pipe over your water line and you allow for an airspace for ground heat to rise and if you really worried about it. Freezing you slide a insulated sleeve over the water line for added protection inside the thick wild PVC pipe which goes four and a half feet in the ground over the water line. PVC pipe comes up through the floor and our water line is attached to one of the telephone poles that we used to build our house. You're more than welcome to take a trip over here to Ohio in Morrow County and visit me sometime and check out the house that my husband and I built. We had a ball building it.
I am just so impressed with you. You just go for it. You don't hide the screw ups , and that's how we all learn . Just love your whole attitude. ❤️ An absolutely wonderful job.
Years of building Custom Homes and designing interior Trim and Staircases for million dollar homes. My best Ideas came to me in my sleep.. The next day, I would build it. I ended up with pics and articles in Southern Living, Southern Homes and Gardens as well as others. GOD Blessed me so well. I give it ALL to the LORD for giving me the talent. GOD is so good !! HooAH !!
Girl, you are AMAZING!!! Cannot tell you how long I have been contemplating building a vardo of my own and you have given me the courage and inspiration to actually begin. The build was beautiful, but my favorite thing about the whole thing is the fact that you allowed me to SEE your mistakes. TOTALLY appreciate that, because it shows how beautiful mistakes can become and we simply just do not show our scars enough! So thank you. From an Arizona girl, born and bred, thank you for honoring my beautiful state with your artwork. I live about 60 miles from Grand Canyon West and I LOVE where I live. God bless you and keep you, my vibrant and sweet friend!
Your videos give me, and a lot of others I'm sure, the confidence to say "I can do that!" Thanks Brooke, for your videos, your inspiration and determination. You're a natural teacher. Great video!
I love how real and raw you are! When you make mistakes you don’t edit them out and you show us what you did. You are so clever how you come up with fixes like when you cut the hole for the bubble window too big. I learn so much from watching you! You are such an inspiration! Keep doing what you are doing! I love the gypsy wagon as well as your a frame and tiny cabins. ♥️👍
Love those three builds as well. Outstanding work! The videos are filled with great information and valuable hints. They are quite entertaining as well, fun and relatable.
So, Brooke! You continue to amaze me with your fearlessness in creating new things! This is a wonderful build and even though that trim work was a pain, you totally pulled it altogether. This is inspiring! Oh, and have to say how awesome it is to see DaWoof and DaMoose!
Beautiful Brook! I have to say, when you first showed the outside, I recognized the northern lights right off. I think all of your artwork is so beautiful! I love your wagon. For never building this, and doing it on your own, you did such a wonderful job! Everyone makes mistakes. Don't let them fool you! Great build and thanks for sharing!
Isn't it amazing how our most frustrating mistakes end up being an aesthetic end result? (door knob, in particular) Brooke you validate why all my building is "artistic" and practical! You are a talented builder and gifted artist!
As I have said before, I admire your motivation your ambition and your willingness to try new things and it’s noted here better not always perfect… Oh darn… I think you’re amazing! And you’re so artistic! I love this little gypsy wagon mobile… It will be fun to see you take it out on an adventure! You accomplished quite a significant amount in two months since I’m sure you were doing a lot more than just this over that period of time! Love you as usual!
My wife and I watched Dave last night too and we were both tired, curled up on our large chair. Fell asleep and had to roll back the footage. I love this and the cabin builds. A great escape from the drama of the world.
I really appreciate the fact that you don’t edit out your mistakes and frustrations. So many TH-camrs make everything seem perfect and it puts people in a mindset that they could never do it. Thank you so much for being so genuine! ❤
What an excellent job you did and you have come a long way from Dave's helper on the construction site. You took on some tricky carpentry and also did some really outstanding artistic work as well. You should be so proud and I hope you are able to enjoy some trips in your trailer.
THANK YOU for showing us that with proper tech support, basic skills, tools, encouragement and fluffy, 4-legged distractions, just about anyone can make functional & beautiful places to "nest"! And THANK YOU for showing us that mistakes and mishaps can & do happen, but that there are always ways to re-do, correct or adapt to changes that an "ooops!" can cause. You never throw tools or tantrums, sulk, swear or give up - at least on camera! A Can-Do Attitude is always the best inspiration for me, anyway! I LOVE the addition of the Northern Lights to the exterior!! Most folks would just stick a few stars or a favorite constellation on there, but you literally and figuratively "nailed" one of my favorite aspects of a clear night sky as seen far away from the lights of civilization. Ooooh! Ahhhh! I truly appreciate all of your hard work, and the time you take to produce edifying & entertaining content. 🤩😍😁
Oh Brooke, this is gorgeous! As a little girl it was my dream to live in a gypsy wagon! Felicitations! You should be so proud of yourself! Hope to see you camping in this sometime! ❣️
I surely love this video from start to finish. You have built a truly unique structure that is both utilitarian and aesthetically, a treasure. Then the video production is it’s own work of art; audio, video and final film. Applause, applause for a beautiful gypsy wagon and this gorgeous presentation. ❤
Well done Brooke! Your Gypsy Wagon is GROOVY! Very comfy and cozy! I really enjoyed watching you design and build it. You are a very fine artist to boot! Thank You for showing us this project from start to finish! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! I do believe your furbabies approve of your new "little" living space too! ❤🐕 🐕 🐈⬛ 🐈
Brook, your probably not gonna want to hear this so soon after you've finished, but you gotta start making a lot of these and start selling them. They are absolutely so flippin cool. We love it, great video :)
I love this build Brooke! Soooo pretty! Your artwork is wonderful, especially your nod to Arizona, I live in Phoenix! 😊 You're so good at figuring how to fix mistakes, very creative. The table is gorgeous too. Can't say enough positive.
Your projects always turn out amazing, but this was over the top fantastic! I absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing this build with us and for your continuous positive and happy attitude.
Girl you never stop surprising us. You hit this one out of the park maybe out of the planet. We were in the market for a new camper but this has made me want to build one. God bless you and Dave on y'all's walk through this place called 🌎
You are such an incredible person! There is no limit to what you can do, and your videos always inspire me! Your build turned out phenomenally. I'd be so proud to travel around in your wagon. The stove is a nice touch, so you can cook (or heat stuff up) while you're staying in it. I loved seeing Miss Maisie Daisy. She is so FLUFFY! Loved seeing Hobo, too. All your animals are beautiful and happy. Your yard looks incredible, covered in snow. You and Dave have created a beautiful life together. Please keep the videos coming. You truly do make me want to get outside and get happy! 😊
Wow!! You did an amazing job on this build! I can’t wait to see where you are going to go with it!! Love seeing your pets. You’re an inspiration to women.
Just love it ! I’ve been homeless for awhile as my husbands attorney lives on my ranch. Been praying for a place to live. I built a gorgeous barn but never a home on wheels. Thank you for all you videos. Learning about mobile living 👍
I loved every minute and every detail of this build! You're so inspiring and creative. I LOVE all of the detail, especially the outside plywood art and the little rope "trim" you used to cover up imperfections on the curved ceiling. Gah. So cool! It gives me so much confidence to be able to do this sort of thing myself eventually.
You are simply incredible!! Every time you work through something difficult, I am so proud of you and impressed - and I don’t even know you! But I feel like I do. Thank you for the joy you bring. Your wagon is exquisite!! And was that Nat Cole? Perfect! Congratulations and thanks so much for what you share with us! Inspiring to say the least!
I LOVE this. So amazing. My childhood best friend's uncle built a huge, beautiful log cabin when I was little and I remember thinking, one day I'm going to have one of these lol. I've been in my apartment for 8 yrs but I still have a dream of having a log cabin, not as big as his, but a small one. Maybe one or 2 rooms with a small kitchen & bathroom & a wood stove. Somewhere private, maybe on my own acre or 2. That would be the life. 😌✨👩🏾🔧💜
Nothing wrong with taking a step back, and envisioning what your next move is! It’s incredible what you can do with some wood and tools. You always want a tight fit for your wood😉 much love from Texas 🤙
Brooke!! Absolutely INCREDIBLE. I can’t believe how determined and creative you are. So resilient and always looking for (and succeeding with!) new challenges. This is absolutely gorgeous! Wish you could build me one 😂😊
The hardest parts of this build you made look easy. And then the darn door knob decides to mess with you! That’s just how it goes sometimes. Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug. Beautiful result in the end!
What a smart lady you are!! So proud of you and for you, remember to thank our God for all he has helped you to accomplish sweet angel along with your your hard work you have created Such a warm, loving, Very Beautiful gypsy home. Your skills are great and so are your decorating decisions!!
Wow! Absolutely love this! That table is probably my favorite part. It is gorgeous. Then again, the entire cabin is stunning. You certainly gave us lots of ideas to use. Moose stealing the wood was so adorable! I had to rewind it and show that part to my hubby. Its something one of our fluffs would do. Also loved seeing your cats!
I started watching season 4 of Alone last night. I've never watched it before, but the thing that struck me the most is how a joyful spirit perseveres in the wild. You and Dave just shine and your work ethic is incredible. No dead weight between you two. Very inspiring and thank you for the reminder.
The total cost for building this, as is, including the trailer was $5,098
Wow and you sure did a great job on building it i loved watching you
Wife and I love your videos! Thanks for all of this positive content. This was soo inspirational. How much did it end up weighing?
@@keithakers9573 I think she said 2800 and it's rated for 3500. JUST BEAUTIFUL!
First is trailer rated for weight on frame. Trailers like cars have different payloads.
Good price! It's so beautiful, a work of art.🎉
Not just one phenomenal builder and content creator but two who are both legendary in their own right, you and Dave as a couple are so absolutely cool 🌲
thank you
I agree with you. They’re are both amazing. Love them.
Wow ❤so nice
Yes I agree! Definitely two beautiful, amazing, talented people ❤❤
Hej I agree with you both have very nice TH-cam channels i love it take care and have a nice day.
My dad would say, “it’s as cute as a speckled pup under a red wagon.” Just love it!
aw, love that saying
I love your dad's saying.

Beautiful Brook! I have to say, when you first showed the outside, I recognized the northern lights right off. I think all of your artwork is so beautiful! I love your wagon. For never building this, and doing it on your own, you did such a wonderful job! Everyone makes mistakes. Don't let them fool you! Great build and thanks for sharing!
Isn't it amazing how our most frustrating mistakes end up being an aesthetic end result? (door knob, in particular) Brooke you validate why all my building is "artistic" and practical! You are a talented builder and gifted artist!
New Subscriber! You are such a Tremendously Beautiful Gifted Inspiration to the World!!!♥️ Thank you so Much!!! Your channel is my happy place.😊
As I have said before, I admire your motivation your ambition and your willingness to try new things and it’s noted here better not always perfect… Oh darn… I think you’re amazing! And you’re so artistic! I love this little gypsy wagon mobile… It will be fun to see you take it out on an adventure! You accomplished quite a significant amount in two months since I’m sure you were doing a lot more than just this over that period of time! Love you as usual!
thank you
My wife and I watched Dave last night too and we were both tired, curled up on our large chair. Fell asleep and had to roll back the footage. I love this and the cabin builds. A great escape from the drama of the world.
I really appreciate the fact that you don’t edit out your mistakes and frustrations. So many TH-camrs make everything seem perfect and it puts people in a mindset that they could never do it. Thank you so much for being so genuine! ❤
Brooke, you did an excellent job with this build, and your creativity is so inspiring! It is absolutely beautiful!
What an excellent job you did and you have come a long way from Dave's helper on the construction site. You took on some tricky carpentry and also did some really outstanding artistic work as well. You should be so proud and I hope you are able to enjoy some trips in your trailer.
THANK YOU for showing us that with proper tech support, basic skills, tools, encouragement and fluffy, 4-legged distractions, just about anyone can make functional & beautiful places to "nest"!
And THANK YOU for showing us that mistakes and mishaps can & do happen, but that there are always ways to re-do, correct or adapt to changes that an "ooops!" can cause. You never throw tools or tantrums, sulk, swear or give up - at least on camera! A Can-Do Attitude is always the best inspiration for me, anyway!
I LOVE the addition of the Northern Lights to the exterior!! Most folks would just stick a few stars or a favorite constellation on there, but you literally and figuratively "nailed" one of my favorite aspects of a clear night sky as seen far away from the lights of civilization.
Ooooh! Ahhhh!
I truly appreciate all of your hard work, and the time you take to produce edifying & entertaining content.
🤩😍😁
awww thanks much
Oh Brooke, this is gorgeous! As a little girl it was my dream to live in a gypsy wagon! Felicitations! You should be so proud of yourself! Hope to see you camping in this sometime! ❣️
Such a cool wagon. Love it. You are so creative, artsie and inspiring.
Adorable!!
I surely love this video from start to finish.
You have built a truly unique structure that is both utilitarian and aesthetically, a treasure.
Then the video production is it’s own work of art; audio, video and final film.
Applause, applause for a beautiful gypsy wagon and this gorgeous presentation. ❤
What an absolutely beautiful build. I love the way you take us through the whole process of the build, challenges and all :)
Once again, fabulous build, more my style, great building blocks for where I wanted to go.
I absolutely loved watching this whole amazing process. Everyone needs a Gypsy Wagon!!!💜💙💜
Brooke - you made that look a lot easier than I’m sure it was! What a really cool build!
You are amazing, I wanted to build a tiny home. Now, I think I’m going to build a Gypsy Wagon. Thank you for inspiring me.
Well done Brooke! Your Gypsy Wagon is GROOVY! Very comfy and cozy! I really enjoyed watching you design and build it. You are a very fine artist to boot! Thank You for showing us this project from start to finish! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! I do believe your furbabies approve of your new "little" living space too! ❤🐕 🐕 🐈⬛ 🐈
Absolutely amazing incredible job you did on that. Love the artwork on the outside
Brook, your probably not gonna want to hear this so soon after you've finished, but you gotta start making a lot of these and start selling them. They are absolutely so flippin cool. We love it, great video :)
I love this build Brooke! Soooo pretty! Your artwork is wonderful, especially your nod to Arizona, I live in Phoenix! 😊 You're so good at figuring how to fix mistakes, very creative. The table is gorgeous too. Can't say enough positive.
Your projects always turn out amazing, but this was over the top fantastic! I absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing this build with us and for your continuous positive and happy attitude.
The rain on the roof has always been the most romantic place i ever found.
Girl you never stop surprising us. You hit this one out of the park maybe out of the planet. We were in the market for a new camper but this has made me want to build one. God bless you and Dave on y'all's walk through this place called 🌎
do it!
You are such an incredible person! There is no limit to what you can do, and your videos always inspire me! Your build turned out phenomenally. I'd be so proud to travel around in your wagon. The stove is a nice touch, so you can cook (or heat stuff up) while you're staying in it. I loved seeing Miss Maisie Daisy. She is so FLUFFY! Loved seeing Hobo, too. All your animals are beautiful and happy. Your yard looks incredible, covered in snow. You and Dave have created a beautiful life together. Please keep the videos coming. You truly do make me want to get outside and get happy! 😊
thanks!
That table is the most beautiful workmanship ive seen to date. Just exquisite. ❤
This is so beautiful and cosy! Excellent job!
Wow!! You did an amazing job on this build! I can’t wait to see where you are going to go with it!! Love seeing your pets. You’re an inspiration to women.
thanks!
Just love it ! I’ve been homeless for awhile as my husbands attorney lives on my ranch. Been praying for a place to live. I built a gorgeous barn but never a home on wheels. Thank you for all you videos. Learning about mobile living 👍
Wow! You did ALL of this in 2 months? Sooo inspiring. Great video - she’s a beautiful Vardo.
My favorite person! Thanks for inspiring so many people Brooke (and Dave). Love from Texas.
I loved every minute and every detail of this build! You're so inspiring and creative. I LOVE all of the detail, especially the outside plywood art and the little rope "trim" you used to cover up imperfections on the curved ceiling. Gah. So cool! It gives me so much confidence to be able to do this sort of thing myself eventually.
You are simply incredible!! Every time you work through something difficult, I am so proud of you and impressed - and I don’t even know you! But I feel like I do. Thank you for the joy you bring. Your wagon is exquisite!! And was that Nat Cole? Perfect! Congratulations and thanks so much for what you share with us! Inspiring to say the least!
Thank you so much!!
I LOVE this. So amazing. My childhood best friend's uncle built a huge, beautiful log cabin when I was little and I remember thinking, one day I'm going to have one of these lol. I've been in my apartment for 8 yrs but I still have a dream of having a log cabin, not as big as his, but a small one. Maybe one or 2 rooms with a small kitchen & bathroom & a wood stove. Somewhere private, maybe on my own acre or 2. That would be the life. 😌✨👩🏾🔧💜
Oh my goodness Brooke this is sooo adorable!! God certainly has blessed you with some serious tenacity & lots of skill. I ❤ this!!
Nothing wrong with taking a step back, and envisioning what your next move is! It’s incredible what you can do with some wood and tools. You always want a tight fit for your wood😉 much love from Texas 🤙
Juste magnifique..bravo, un bonjour de France.
Absolutely gorgeous! You and David are amazing crafters and builder's.
🎨🎨
Brooke!! Absolutely INCREDIBLE. I can’t believe how determined and creative you are. So resilient and always looking for (and succeeding with!) new challenges. This is absolutely gorgeous! Wish you could build me one 😂😊
I am completely awed by your practical use of your art.
The hardest parts of this build you made look easy. And then the darn door knob decides to mess with you! That’s just how it goes sometimes. Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug. Beautiful result in the end!
You did an amazing job on your wagon. It’s beautiful & cozy. 🌵🔥☀️
What a smart lady you are!! So proud of you and for you, remember to thank our God for all he has helped you to accomplish sweet angel along with your your hard work you have created Such a warm, loving, Very Beautiful gypsy home. Your skills are great and so are your decorating decisions!!
Omg you did such an amazing job on this! I have been into tiny houses for a while and this is so totally awesome. You rock at everything you do!! 💜💜💜
absolutely beautiful and inspiring! you did an incredible job and I just love all your artistic and vintage touches!!!
You’ve outdone yourself my friend, this is GORGEOUS ❤.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Absolutely love this! That table is probably my favorite part. It is gorgeous. Then again, the entire cabin is stunning. You certainly gave us lots of ideas to use. Moose stealing the wood was so adorable! I had to rewind it and show that part to my hubby. Its something one of our fluffs would do. Also loved seeing your cats!
You did an awesome job, not only in building but also in decorating. It’s really beautiful!
I LOVE this woman. Reminds me of when I was young and building things with my husband and alone. Sucks getting old but this is a pleasure to watch.
Brooke, is there anything you can't do? Stunning gypsy wagon!! Thanks for your constant inspiration!!
I started watching season 4 of Alone last night. I've never watched it before, but the thing that struck me the most is how a joyful spirit perseveres in the wild. You and Dave just shine and your work ethic is incredible. No dead weight between you two. Very inspiring and thank you for the reminder.
thanks much!
