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 CZcams 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.
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.
@@careylarsen2227 I got it at Joannes.... check there!
@@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.
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.
yessss
Agreed
AMEN!!! And Merry Christmas!!! God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨🌾✝️🙏🖖🐩☃️
@@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.
Amen Jesus is our savior
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!
cool sonya thanks and welcome!
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.
girl i been on a tiny home binge and seeing you build this from scratch gave me hope for myself!! you did amazing!! so inspirational
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!
LOL thats the story of my life as well. There’s almost always a way to cover mistakes. 😁😉
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!!!
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.

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.
You have outdone yourself! This is amazing. So proud of you!
thank you fawn!!
So proud of u👣
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.
aww thanks
That’s a good book!
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. 😌✨👩🏾🔧💜
You’ve outdone yourself my friend, this is GORGEOUS ❤.
Thank you so much!
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!
Thank you so much 😀
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. 😊
lol thanks
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 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!
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.
You did an amazing job on your lovely Gypsy caravan! I’m impressed
Thank you so much!
My Girlfriend and I bought this Book, looking forward to Building our Vardo.
Oh my goodness what an absolutely fantastic build, there are so many details I absolutely love, the stove, the record player unit, the beautiful table, the sink tap, and the gorgeous parquet flooring. I felt your pain with the door handle, I fitted one myself recently and it was a royal pain in the arse! Love your videos 🥰
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.
thanks julie you wouldn't believe the stuff he stole- and right outta my tool box too!
Well said Julie, well said!!!! Brooke is soooo smart. I never would have figured out that door🤔🤔 And such a beautiful trailer👍👍😍♥️🤗
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!
Thank you so much!
Is it for sale?
@@cherylduffey9463 🤩😂 really, I’ll stand in the line!
I am impressed by the courage & perseverance that you showed us, as you built your dream shelter. Humbled by your desire to learn new skills & unafraid to go for it❣Your happy attitude & philosophy regarding the outdoors is infectious. Thank you for your inspiration. Your little gypsy wagon turned out so beautiful & inviting💜🙏💐good job & thank you for sharing♡my words fall short to explain what it meant to watch you throughout your build & your final masterpiece☆☆☆☆☆ HOME♡HOME
I do admire a woman who can do it for herself!
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!
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 love how practical and simple yet easily difficult you make this look, totally makes me want to give it a go. Artwork on the sides is one of my favorite add ons.
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.
thanks so much
@@therealgirlinthewoods The pleasure was all mine.
So excited to watch this! You and Dave are our favorite corner of You Tube!!
appreciate that
We moved from Ohio to Arizona about 8 years ago. Everything you said about Arizona is true. I’ve never traveled where the snow is, but my daughter and Son in law took my granddaughter to see and play in the snow in Flagstaff. It was so cute to see her play in the snow, for the first time. I love watching people build things. You did a marvelous job as usual. God bless you and be safe. Jean from Arizona ⛰🌵🐍🌴🦂🦎🌞🌻
Some people think a carpenter is somebody who never makes mistakes - no, it's somebody who fixes mistakes!
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. ♥️👍
thanks!
Good to see the whole process
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.
Brooke, you are inspiring, creative, and tenacious. Love that you share these wonderful projects.
What a phenomenal job. Not only did you do a great job designing and building your Gypsy Wagon, but your sense of style is just as remarkable. It is truly beautiful.
What a labor of love! It's such a sweet tiny home, and I just love how you finished it both inside and out. Well done, you!
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.
This is just so you Brooke! It’s adorable, and was clearly so so much work. You nailed it. I love all your custom art work too. ❤
I love this tiny house. She did an awesome job outside and inside. Nice decor.
Love this so much!
Metal fabricator here, a tip for drilling if you don't know already is using machine oil or a cutting wax, it will make your drill bits last longer & will be easier to drill.
exactly a little oil goes a long way at cutting faster and saving bits
So cute!! I really love the glass window in the door, but all of the details and artwork are so lovely
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 thought I was going to hear some bohemian gypsy music 🎶 🎵 playing when you opened the door 😅❤ !! . My family is from the Czechia 🇨🇿 and Slovakia 🇸🇰. I grew up listening to my family playing violins 🎻, harmonicas , and grandpa played the accordion 🪗 ❤. Your gypsy wagon touched my bohemian ❤😊
You are a genuine gypsy, the decor proves it. I love it! You are also a good carpenter.
You always do the most amazing things but this little jewel is above and beyond! Love it.
You're a true artist. You saw what you wanted and built it. It's an amazing Gypsy Wagon.
Oh, Brooke! This is one of the most delightful builds you've ever done! I love all of the intricate wood cutouts and decorations. The copper sink and plumbing are exquisite and I adore the Art Deco woman and tiger painting. You are a treasure beyond measure! Don't ever stop! 🥰
YOU ARE ONE AMAZING YOUNG LADY. FROM UK
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
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!
Thank you so much!
I fell in love with gypsy wagons when I was fortunate enough to see inside one when I was travelling in Ireland many years ago.... so cozy!
That’s how you learn by mistakes!! My favorite is girl in the woods picture!!
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'm sorry to hear that you lost your husband. It sounds like you built a lovely home together. Sending hugs 💖🏡
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sounds like lots of good memories in that house!
What an awesome job you did and I love the art work and details you put into the build. Truly beautiful!
How Charming…I remember these as a child growing up in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 💚☘️
Brooke! You are amazing. I’m constantly encouraged to try new things just watching/listening to you. And you have the sweetest spirit. Ive loved watching Moose grow and hate watching Masie age. Love to you and Dave at this most special season.
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!
Brooke, you never cease to amaze me, you are so talented and awesome.
As always in complete awe of you as well as being jealous of your sheer ability and drive. The whole time you have such a calming presence that make me think 'yeh, actually, I could do this too one day'.
Have a wonderful holidays all of you xx
Omg i just love all her cute little cabins 😊So comfy, and relaxing 🥰
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!
wow cool!
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!
thanksmuch!
Love the way you figure out how to get over the obstacles. 💗 Such divine inspiration
a work of ART ! Beautiful !
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.
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! ❣️
So much fun to watch you build this wonderful Gypsy vardo! I love all your planning, and explaining the steps as you go. Your passion in doing a really good job and humility in the face of mistakes, the truth to all art, that mistakes become a piece of the art and a place where the love goes in and the light shines through. Girl in the Woods, my sister, you rock!
Thank you so much!
Wow! So beautiful! Well done!!!
Such a cool wagon. Love it. You are so creative, artsie and inspiring.
I absolutely loved watching this whole amazing process. Everyone needs a Gypsy Wagon!!!💜💙💜
Breath taking in every way!
This is a tiny Gypsy I would never live no!
Brooke - you made that look a lot easier than I’m sure it was! What a really cool build!
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!
You are an INSPIRATION to other women wanting to do this!!!! Thankyou!!!
I totally enjoyed watching you build this. I can almost imagine sleeping in this. You are a brave & gifted woman❤
Congratulations Brookes on your beautiful gypsy tiny home ! I think you are quite the gutsy woman and you possess a very creative mind. It was quite the feat what you’ve accomplished and I enjoyed the step by step you went through. Thank you for the learning experience! 👍😘❤️
thanks!
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 a cozy lil home. Love it.
Lovely! Your stove is adorable, too!
Wow! You did ALL of this in 2 months? Sooo inspiring. Great video - she’s a beautiful Vardo.
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.
WOW!!! That is so beautiful! ❤
How CUTE is that!!!!Very well done!❤
What an absolutely beautiful build. I love the way you take us through the whole process of the build, challenges and all :)
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!
This build and your energy make me so happy, thank you for sharing this build and inspiring me (and others) to go out and build something like this!
Wow wow just wow beautiful!!!!!😊
Brooke, you did an excellent job with this build, and your creativity is so inspiring! It is absolutely beautiful!
Hello how are you doing?
Absolutely amazing incredible job you did on that. Love the artwork on the outside
Love the Varnado. And the art work!!
Wow!!! This is beautiful! Great job!!
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! ❤🐕 🐕 🐈⬛ 🐈
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!
Thanks Brooke. Another fine video explaining the process in simple terms that all us as beginners can understand. Your videos are giving me so much inspiration to start a life dream. Great work!!!
I love to watch your builds. And I appreciate it when you show your mistakes so we all can learn from them. Fantastic!
