Today I'm building a slide-out truck storage box for the area under the rear seat of my truck (2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500). In the video I'll show how I built the framework to fit in the under seat space, installed drawer slides, added handles and locking hardware, trimmed with aluminum, and tour what I will be storing in the box for general and emergency vehicle use. And while I built this storage system for a truck, the general techniques can be applied to any vehicle. A little organization will not only keep your vehicle more tidy, but also enable you to keep some road side emergency supplies available in the event that you need them! Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions! -Joe Thanks to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Power Tools for partnering on this build!

Taking a little family adventure to see some native american petroglyphs and searching for native american pottery along the way. This was only a short hike from our house but nonetheless a great way to spend the day and learn a little about the native american peoples that lived here before us. Perhaps you might have some similar heritage in your local area that might provide a small little educational adventure for you and your family. Maybe its something like this or perhaps an interesting building or historical site. I'd bet there is something very interesting near you that is worth a visit!

Thanks to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Power Tools for partnering on this build! Today I'm building a DIY miter saw station/ workbench for my new Ryobi Sliding Miter saw. In the video I will cover the general structure assembly, drawer construction, drawer glide installation, miter fence, drawer pulls, a flip out extension and several other unique aspects to this DIY Workbench. This build is a followup to my 'File Cabinet- Workshop Storage' video.... so be sure to check that video out for a little more context as to why I chose to incorporate them into this bench;) Let me know if you have any questions! - Joe Links to the Ryobi Tools I used in this video.

I feel USED file cabinets may just be one of the BEST options for tool storage in your workshop or garage! When purchased used they offer affordable, sturdy, mouse proof, versatile shop storage for less than building something similar. I picked these 3 file cabinets off of craigslist for a total of $36. And likely, building something similar would cost more than that just in the cost of the plywood and drawer glides.... much more! In the video I'll also talk about some of the cons of using file cabinets like these.... but overall I feel they have many more benefits than drawbacks :) Please let me know if you have any questions! - Joe Music sourced from the Youtube audio library and/or from EpidemicSound.com... credits as follows....

Thanks to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Power tools for partnering on this build! Back to the DIY Travel Trailer Project with a Slideout Kitchen build! This will serve as an outdoor cooking station and dining/food prep area for the trailer. I think this would be a great project for a van conversion, trailer build or for an overlanding SUV! In the video I go over the basic framing with pocket holes, aluminum trim, drawer glides, hinges, hardware installation, and even a little bottle opener cap catching set up! I hope it may give you some ideas or inspiration for your own project :) Let me know if you have any questions! - Joe NOTE: I mention in the video that there are about 20 videos on this trailer build, but this is listed as part 13. Why? Well, that is because some of the other ones like the trailer lock, battery box, bumper/stabilizers, etc,... were done as 'side projects' to the main build. Not sure why I did that but they should all be in the 'DIY Travel Trailer Project' playlist ;) Links to the Ryobi Tools I used in this video.

Thanks to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Power tools for partnering on this build! Today I’m building a Ron Paulk inspired DIY workbench top... yes, just the top for now. This will be the first step of a full workbench build, but with the ability to use the top, on saw horses, until I finalize my design for the lower portion of the bench. The rigid nature of Ron Paulk’s torsion box design will make this great as a workbench, assembly table, outfeed table or just about whatever else you might need a workbench for! In the video I will go over cutting the plywood, drilling /cutting out the access ports, assembling the frame, adding a grid of clamping holes, adding a final finish…. and my eventual plans for the lower half of this workbench ☺ Let me know if you have any questions! - Joe Links to the Ryobi Tools I used in this video.

Preparing a home to be more resistant to wildfires isn't complex. But it does require some effort and due diligence to implement preventative measures. In the video I cover defensible space, tree/vegetation maintenance, fire breaks and the importance of having clean gutters. I also address what we do in the event that there is a wildfire in our area, from preparations of leaving our home to circumstances in which we might consider staying. And it SHOULD go without saying, but NOTHING is guaranteed, and obviously there are circumstances when no amount of preparation and defensive measures will help..... and in those cases you should ALWAYS err on the side of caution and leaving to a place of safety. As is life, nothing is guaranteed.... BUT, we can and should take steps to implement preventative strategies and protect our homes BEFORE a wildfire is imminent.

How to build a DIY Bat House from start to finish! Not only was this a fun project that resulted in a cool looking bat habitat, but it also served as a very good learning opportunity for my daughter! She researched about all the varieties of bats, habitats, food sources, their role in the natural cycle, benefits to local ecosystems, and so many other amazing facts! And to be honest I learned way more than I even could have imagined on bats too... super cool little creatures!

Country living, like anything, has its good and bad. In this video I talk about what I see as the pro's of living in a rural setting as well as negatives that folks need to consider if they want a slice of the quiet life! Topics include everything from increased liberty, safety in pandemics, building self reliance..... To things like general inconveniences, lack of emergency services, and others things that might not appealing to everyone. NOTE: there are a few benefits that I forgot to cover...haha.... not sure why. But they include things like growing food, foraging, solar, alternative construction, etc,.

Hiking through the amazing landscape of the Arizona Trail with my friend Tristan from @SUV RVing and dreaming about thru-hiking the entire 800 miles in the near future. The passage we took was Reavis Canyon (AZT passage 18), which is on the east side of the Superstition Mountains. This section of the trail is incredibly diverse, spanning from Oak and Juniper mountains to giant Saguaros in the desert! Please let me know if you'd be interested in seeing a series where I hike the whole thing! Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions! Joe In the next video I will be building a travel cabinet for Tristan's SUV RVing adventures. Check out his channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC07IPCu6BQGWh0Fdk9Q2Z2w/videos And here is the video I did in January where Tristan and I hiked a remote canyon looking for hidden native American cliff dwellings! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID1KudXxLfU&t=50s If you guys like the videos I make and would like to help support the channel at no additional cost to you.

Today I'm taking you on a tour of the Sunken Greenhouse Project. I'll show you what we've been growing in the greenhouse, talk about what's to come in this project and why I think it's one of the biggest failures out of all of my projects.

We took the DIY Travel Trailer to one of the most amazing camp spots we've ever been too! This Rock Wonderland is in southeastern Arizona in an area called Texas Canyon, just north of the Dragoon Mountains and the famous Cochise Stronghold area. We hiked to a natural arch, hopped from rock to rock, climbed and just had a great time. I also talk about some upcoming projects for the DIY Travel Trailer and even got some pretty cool drone footage worked in. Hope you enjoy!

Hiking a hidden and remote canyon in Arizona's backcountry in search of some Native American ruins. Although the hike is a relatively short distance, it is known for being incredibly steep with difficult terrain. On this day, we encountered waterfalls caused by snowmelt and recent rains, which really added to the beauty of this rugged canyon. However, these waterfalls and seasonal water flows also made for super slick rock and ultimately shortened our hike prior to getting to the ruins. But it was still a great adventure in an unbelievably beautiful desert canyon! Here is the video I mentioned by Jerry Arizona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgWxV92Hap4&t=270s Also, check out Tristan's adventures on his channel, @SUV RVing https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC07IPCu6BQGWh0Fdk9Q2Z2w Official homesteadonomics video "Hiking a Hidden Arizona Canyon with SUV Rving: It was truly another world!

But it does represent a step forward into this little creative maker space that I'm slowly building.
