This man is keeping alive the child in us all, building the things we always think about but never actually do.
I agree 100%. And, great at showing us every piece of the build. Very organized and concise. He's a talent all the way around!!

i agree
thats right
Comments represent all adult males 👍👍👍🗿
No pranks, challenges or dancing, no crazy editing, just a guy living out every young kids dream 👍🏻
Correction, every man's dream also.
So true. We all built all manner of shambolic outdoor houses. This would have been so amaaazing

@@en_vy You're missing my point.
cant find this kind of content anywhere anymore
This man is so prepared, he makes sure not a single thing is loose, he literally puts bolts and clamps on everything
So it's not going anywhere 😂👍
Lol if he clamps to the ground he could withstand a hurricane …good job dude you built it very well
I love the greenhouse idea because its waterproof and hot at the same time
and the tank wheels was a smart idea too
This man is wayyy too underrated for how good the content is

It's criminal that this channel only has 70k subscribers, he deserves way more for his ingenuity and production value.
I concur!
I know 😊
he'll get there
I agree 👍 💯
He just started out. He's actually grown exponentially in subs!!
One thing I love about your videos is just how appreciative you are to be there in the moment, in a vehicle you built, just eating pizza, throwing down a sleeping bag, and playing some video games out in the woods. It's heartwarming and frankly, inspirational
Upgrade the motor! this thing was sweet. EDIT: I just noticed he already did that, the second vid was awesome!
This is a 40-minute video, and NOT ONCE was I bored. Excellent narration and presentation bro! 😎
Ya because I skipped the building part 😤
@@gamerboyraj8096 fr
bro is not a quiet nerd he is a amazing nerd
@@gamerboyraj8096it was still not boring for me even though i din't skip it
I didn’t notice it was a 40min video until you said it. Awesome content
This is the invention I imagined as a child, it's so awesome to see someone actually bring their ideas to life. Thank you for helping me daydream as an adult. May your video fuel young minds and open thoughtful possibilities for all!!!
SAME bro
Same too. I used to build a wooden car for me daily in my dreams and drive it to places 😊😅
DUDE same. I imagined rolling all around in my own little house on wheels like this.
I love it when the people that Need it the most make it big like this guy his channel is literallly quiet nerd
OK, the big questions: How far did you drive, and did you make it home on that single battery?
That's sure a different idea you had, and it seemed to work well for you.
No
😮😅😂
Not sure what I'd think if I was walking through the woods stoned, as one does, and just saw this dude driving by in a yellow tent.
Lol
Lmao as one does
Here's a few things I notice that you can improve in a possible next design:
1. Wood Rotting/Degrading: from what I've seen in the video, you haven't put anything on the wood to help it prevent from rotting or taking damage from water. This is pretty important when camping in the middle of the forest.
2. Electronics Safety: When traversing the forest you encounter various different types of terrain and plants. The electronics are left open except for a little bit of electrical casing, but as someone who just got back from camping for a week straight, the electronics aren't the safest from the elements.
3. Height: The camper is VERY close to the ground, which for a lot of types of terrain, is NOT good at all. This just means that the bottom frame and electronics are more prone to taking damage from any rocks, dirt, or plants sticking out from the ground. Additionally, the low height of the camper means that there's a lot of terrain you can't go through with it.
4. Power: The power provided by your motor isn't enough to carry you uphill, and uphill is something you'll encounter a lot within the forest. This means if/when you need to go uphill, you'll likely be forced to pull it uphill instead of relying on the motor (something I wouldn't want to do).
5. Safe Food Storage: Many wild animals have a VERY great sense of smell. Meaning they can smell open food from MILES away. That being said, our simple camping foods smell like deluxe meals to any animals who smell it, and naturally, they'll want some of it. I doubt you want to wake up in the middle of the night face-to-face with a wild animal looking for your food. This is where things like Bear Boxes come in. They're safe ways to store your open food and prevent animals from being able to smell or access it.
6. Ventilation: As someone who again, just got back from camping for a week straight (in the summer near a less elevated campground), ventilation is ABSOLUTELY NECCESSARY. You can't always rely on a fan or electronics to keep you cool, so I HIGHLY recommend adding more ventilation.
7. Power: In longer camping trips, you won't always have a place to recharge your campers battery. Which usually means if it's out of battery, have fun pulling it the rest of the trip! I'd add a small solar panel or two that can be taken out of the camper and positioned anywhere on the floor (not on the campers roof) to give you a semi-reliable source of power and no need to worry as much about running out of battery.
(Before replying to my comment, please note that I'm not responding to any replies because there are a few low-IQ people responding. These suggestions are intended to show things that can be done to improve this project and make it much more reliable and useful, rather than simply being something that will sit in a garage for years. I am aware that this project was not intended to be a full fledged wilderness survival camper.)
Where is break 😂😂😂
🤓
Also use a single piece of wood for each of the side rails instead of joining two smaller pieces, both stronger and lighter. The whole thing is completely impractical anyway
@@gunterisnomoredude speaking fax and you call him a nerd
you don't really think he built this to be practical😂
That motor is big enough. You just need larger diameter cable's , 2x batteries tied in parallel. Amp drop is what's lowering torque and acceleration. Someday setup solar panels to top up when you post at camp. You gan also get a harbor freight tools tail gate generating and a dc/dc converter like in RVs. Then you get 900w endless battery powered if you want to make it hybrid. Good for different terrain.
Omg man, I randomly came across your vid, probably because it aligns with a lot if what I watch. And man oh man from start to finish, this was a slice of heaven. Trekking it, being in the woods on your version of a people mover on a whole other level. Kudos and totes to you on this camper. So happy for you.
Do you want a adventure of this camper
It would be pretty cool if later on you install a solar panel on it for the battery. you did a fantastic job on your little rig.🙂
It feels like cozy
yessir
that what i think right now that would be cool
Exactly what I was thinking
@@ronno7660z
I love how simple the build is. I usually see these crazy go-carts with lost of power, but this is something I can build in my own garage. its perfect.
Shabash Baya Shabash
@@saifahmed2098yo , yaha kya karra bhai ?
No matter how hot it is outside, knee high socks will protect from bugbites, thorns, scratchy plants and poison ivy. If they are white socks you can see fleas and get them off before you get in your camper. Spiders eat the flighty bugs, and the crawly bugs, so say Hi and thank you. Very cool camper )))
Really loving the simplicity of the build but yet done so right it is a masterpiece! Seeing you drive it and the smile on your face makes my day!
I LOVE not knowing what you're going to do next. Never would I have anticipated a homemade mini camper. This is amazing.
I'm glad you enjoy the variety :D Thanks for watching my content - Cheers!
Awesome right 👍
Bear country?
Mosquito net?
🎉
I love this! We watched this as a family. Obviously this is a prototype kind of thing and we had fun talking about our modifications to the idea. We decided we'd probably use PVC pipe to make the frame for the tent so you can push it to the edge. Then instead of greenhouse plastic we'd use mesh and seal it at the bottom so you can get a nice breeze. We would use bigger wheels so it sits higher and gives more ground clearance. And we'd probably put the battery in a closed box so that the battery doesn't get weathered. And maybe use a stadium chair when driving for more comfort? These ideas are an amalgamation of ideas we had with the kids. Thanks for giving us a jumping off point to have a really fun discussion!
Wow
That’s awesome
Right my son and I are loving this he definitely gave me the know how jump off point so can not wait
I like your family's idea of using a mesh material in replacement of the greenhouse plastic, makes it sound more breathable and refreshing. Also the PVC pipe is the same kind of idea I had when talking about the frame, I was even day dreaming during the video about adding like a hidden frame that if you wanted to, could fold out and make like a pop up canopy of sorts that can fold away and retain the shape of the cart when you're in travel mode and then a shaded canopy if you had the room to bring a fold chair. Would definitely be really neat to improve on this base model.
Right?
This project sparks so much imagination!
It'd be super fun to have a
"mini camper" build competition!
You're living my dreams❤
Ive been dreaming of building something like this for years. Excellent work!
This is the perfect content format. You're building peoples dreams man, I love how you go through the build process, then use everything you build with no click bait nonsense
You should get donations, then build them for homeless people, but put a solar cell to recharge the battery.
@@JK-zl7vv and where are the homeless going to put them. nobody want a homeless encampment in there neighbourhood. and how are the going to charge the battery.
I'm glad you enjoy the video :D I appreciate it! - Cheers

You sir are a Craftsman and a man’s man. Why can’t I have a good craftsman neighbor like you. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽
I have never before subscribed a channel just by watching a single video.
It’s always crazy to me how Americans and Canadians always have every tool imaginable for every weird situation and also get things to an affordable price so projects like this are doable for teenagers etc in northamerica (also there is enough space and nomansland to even be able to explore compared to Europe)

Thats only a dream here in latin america, i live in costa rica, one of the "beter" countries here in latin america and thigs like that motor or that weels are expensive AF, and here we dont had many forests for camping cause a lot of forest are WILD and are protected :(
this guy is a genius
He’s so me I love to build and he’s so inspiring, you just became my new favorite TH-camr.
can you imagine how cozy that would be in a rainstorm

What did this cost to build by chance? I see the like from the content creator. My children love this and are inspired to build their own! I think it would be neat to make them camper buggies
@@JIMBAYRIDGESCOTT ya have jesus in your live that was great😍

Cool... Interesting to know how many hours would the battery stay charged up, plus guessing on the approximate weight of camper on wheels ? Thanks very impressive ingenuity at work n play !!! ❤🖖🙏
"Do you know how to get to bells canyon?", was on my mind when this guy went camping in the forest alone😂
you just enjoying the nature and your camper makes this video wholesome
This channel has slowly become one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my content - Cheers
You know he’s dying of heat . No AC
I'd not have the courage to try something remotely close to this, but watching this video, and the joy it gave you, I can't help but feel a sense of freedom and being grateful for seeing you enjoying yourself like that. The build looks amazing, the idea is original, and the video was pretty chill and nice to watch. Congrats! Keep enjoying what you do!
I would have made it all wood so bears would have a hard time getting into it.
@@anniejones5806 I'd definitely feel safer that way haha. Maybe it could be a cool idea for his next projects to get a bigger motor and make it all of wood!
@@anniejones5806 Maybe there aren't bears where he is...Yeah I also don't like bears!
@@anniejones5806what about iron
Did have this vid in my "to watch list" for a while & I'm finally pulling the trigger.
I absolutely love the MacGyver build & the "using stuff for other purposes than intended".
In fact I probably would have used PVC from top to bottom because it can be found in any shape, form & thickness & it's durable, light & also insulated. I'm sure it was fun to build & I learned a few tricks along the way so thanks for filming, editing & uploading quality content.

You're very creative. It's so cool and fun to watch. You can add like a mosquito net that way you can still enjoy the camper with a little air coming in and keep out the bugs. Stay safe and keep on building
Yea bug net would have helped with the front open - I'm thinking of some improvements to make for the future version I might honestly re build it completly different still working on it all in my head it will be a future video for sure
@@QuietNerdsolar panel and wind turbine? 😉
I would replace some of the panels with window screen for ventilation, maybe over the front and back openings. I would also suggest that you bring along some poles so you can stake up your yellow tarp front and back as awnings. This is such a cool little camper! I could see members of my family going nuts wanting to try this out. I, unfortunately, think that a camper van with a big, soft bed and a bathroom is wonderful. I suspect that I am a glamper, not a camper.
He probably could have boughtA camper for his truck for cheaper and actually drove to the middle of the forest instead of from the tailgate of his truck to 50 feet into
The forest.
No wanker is the word your looking for!!
Build a truck😊😊😊😊
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
41 seconds into the video, and I already in impressed
This is probably the coolest thing i've seen on YT
Thanks! - Cheers!
YT algorithm showed me your RE4 in the forest video and now I'm hooked.
Don't even have an interest in camping but there's just something so calming about hearing you talk about things and cooking out in wilderness.
For the first time in my life, I want to try going out and camping. Big sub from me!
I could not believe my eyes. This is awesome.
If the Flintstones and the Jetsons had a kid... Nice one!
Imagine hiking around and you see this thing roll up.
Would be awesome haha
Love the idea but I have one concern I don’t know but I think you should add one or two 10x10cm holes in the foil where you could add mesh material for ventilation. Or maybe pack an CO2 detector to see if it reaches dangerously high. And just be safe adventuring
Exactly, that's what I was thinking, Where's the ventilation.
Suffocation will take place
YT Algorithm soo good to bring me to this video. Absolutely love it! Well done!
Everything is so detail. Good job
This is one of the most unique channels I’ve found in a while
Yay. Fresh upload. Love this channel
I'm glad you enjoy - Cheers!
Cool stoner dude. He is so genuine and interesting to watch what he does
Your channel is wholesome as heck man..... Great work!
Regarding the treads: "I saw them online and just wanted to use them." This dude is a genius. I thought nothing would beat the Cheese Cube. 🙂
I loved that too!
The treads are pretty sweet I might get another set I'm just starting to think up a version 2.0 of the camper thats a more powerful build. It will be a future video for sure - Cheers!
@@QuietNerdcan I ask where online you bought them

What a legend.
This small vehicle looks so easy to do!
I might consider building one for myself.
Really good video and idea
This was so awesome. I wish I was able to do something like this. I would have added some extra strength to the battery compartment. I would have added a wooden shelf underneath the basket. That way if you run over a hidden branch that the basket would not get caught
Using the greenhouse as the frame is absolutely genius
I absolutely love your camper it's totally amazing
Thanks!
Thank goodness we survived the pandemic now I can relax in home
You are Living the Dream Brother!
I am planing the first camping trip with my family. All I have done so far just buying all the gears from Amazon. What you’ve done is a totally game changer. I am super enjoyed watching your video! You just earn a subscriber for your channel!
i think u should by more gears for your family instead
Awesome build! 👍
The one issue inherent to a greenhouse (by design) is potentially unbearable humidity levels inside. I would cut out and remove some sections of the clear sheeting and replace them with bug mesh sections, especially paired at opposite sides of the camper to permit through airflow. Then perhaps create correspondingly positioned flaps in the yellow tarpaulin that can be opened to expose the bug mesh sections, perhaps with velcro attached to secure them in the open position.
The addition of velcro to other areas of the yellow tarpaulin would also help secure it in place when in each of the various open or folded-back positions you demonstrated. As would velcro mounted on the battery holder to ensure that the tarpaulin covers the battery and doesn't blow free during windy and rainy weather and result in water damage to the battery.
Equipment-wise, I'd add a small folding camping table. This could be secured on the inside wall, or even have a mount to position it on the outside of the vehicle frame.
Finally, the addition of a small grab handle to the front and rear bumpers would mean you could more easily lift the front or back end of the vehicle and spin it around 180 degrees resting on the other set of wheels when doing a bunch of three-point turns is impractical to turn the vehicle around. These might also help remove the vehicle from if it gets bogged or caught on something.
All great ideas!
@@HeirOfNothingInParticular- Thanks! 😀
And a winch!
Greenhouses get HOT in the summer.
@@MontanaPDX - Yes, that was my whole point.
Creative build, and thanks for the walk around in the woods!
Enjoyed so much... it was like re-living the childhood play i was unable to achieve.
Awesome! So clever. Might want to add some bug screens at front and back.
yea not a bad idea - Cheers!
My mind is racing with all of the possibilities to shelter the homeless. You are very creative and inspiring.
Je should approach some company with this idea. Cities could find these useful. 👍👍
I'm in LOVE! Great job dude
That may be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. You are a freggin’ genius.
best adventure channel, no click bait, no bullshit, just straight to the points and feels relaxed watching him
What a fun idea! It turned out really well too. I can't even think of any improvements that wouldn't add more weight. All your campers, shelters, etc. are so cool and right up my alley. Great ways to enjoy the outdoors! I really enjoy your channel.
:D glad you enjoy the videos - Cheers
@@QuietNerd reminded me of avatar when they went to chop down the big tree, lol jk. I hope you do a more efficient more comfy longer range and maybe make it a land train. Really really liked it so cool
I like this guy. He's so chill. Your content is awesomeness 👌 thank you.
I am Muhammad from Iraq.. I saw your video by chance.. When I saw the rest, I was amazed by what you are doing.. Truly an amazing and wonderful thing.. Real creativity.. We always think about things, but our abilities cannot make us do them.. As for you, you think, build, and achieve.. Good luck...keep going ❤
I think its an awesome project, and if u ask me i think you should upgrade it so that it can use larger front wheels. The tracks are as cool as hell! Awesome job!
The Greenhouse idea for the roof was very creative and you should probably use that idea again.
The Tarp that you used on the cover has a lot of potential in many builds and you have A LOT of it.
Great video 👊
Man, I am so glad that YT algorithm bring me your videos to the screen; big thumbs up, looking forward for upcoming videos ;)
If the real world are packs of cards, this dude is the legendary only one card of nerds that you can pull from a pack.
This is awesome! I would love to see a version 2 of this, bigger battery, larger wheels, etc.
yeah maybe a beefier frame and larger wheels with two motors and dual battery with inverter setup...
This guy is quite handy when it comes to building things. Never would've expected that from the first video i had watched.
Also, the backwheels were an *excellent* choice for great traction on the soil!
Beautiful and amazing!
Thank you! Very impressive DIY - from idea to performance! Good that you did put up a game cam, because when you spoke about the smell of a skunk I immediately thought about a cryptid being around. They seem to avoid ir cameras though, so that plus your kind soul probably kept you safe during night time. Good luck!
This is awesome if I had the tools I would so enjoy trying to build this with my son. Well done on the mini camper, can't wait to see what you do to it next
Your a great dad❤
Get you some tools and build it
Love watching you build amazing things! Great job!
Thanks! - Cheers
This is my dream! Thank you for making it true.
Keep up the amazing videos.
Absolutely love the fun of your builds!!! ❤God bless
If you do upgrade it, I think you should add a hook on the side so you can hang your thermostat and you can also put that LED purple light thing that kills mosquitoes
agree
It’d be cool if you could add an extra motor for more power and thin piece of acrylic across bottom for protection! Oh and maybe even a small solar panel to charge the battery and accessory power! This is great! Awesome build!
I 'm thinking of re build it with more power or motors or something Still working it out in my head Thanks for the kind words as well - Cheers!
@-OfficialQuietNerd dude stop. SCAMMER!
I hope this channel makes it to a mil subs! Very knowledgeable channel and fun too
Hi, I just wanted to say that you're a fantastic guy and I can tell you have a good soul and heart. I admire you and watching your videos makes me feel really cozy. Take it easy! much love
This is the coolest camper I’ve seen by far. It’s so minimal but you still had everything you needed. I love it! New subscriber!
Your editing, man. Just incredible pacing and narration. Well done. Super satisfying.
@yharie
I've done it I sub and liked
What a beautiful Idea.
It's great! 👏You should just add a fly screen under the green house. 👍
I understand how much effort it took to make this video…building,recording,editing…. Really loved your video❤❤
Build it out of steel angle iron, or add angle irons to the side so you dont have to use as much wood, it will be a lot lighter and stronger, giving it a brush guard is definitely a good idea too.
If youre going to keep the wood, coating it in a non toxic silicone paint would be a good idea. Rhino Lining the bottom would be a great idea for making it last.
Your use of a small greenhouse was just what I needed for my own projec!!!💡 No spoilers, but it will a different type of vehicle that yours.
I'll be back in a year and show you. 😁
