I just want to say thank you and enjoy it. I'm 51 years old with stage 4 esophageal cancer. I have always wanted to see Alaska, God has blessed me greatly, I was given 12-14 months to live in August 2019,I'm still here! I no longer have a stomach, esophagus, or gallbladder but I'm gaining everyday. Maybe someday I'll see you up there. Until then thank you for showing me the back country beauty! God lives!
Hang in there, friend!
John I completely understand what you are going through. I lost my Brother at the age of 48 to Esophageal Cancer and my Dad at the age of 78 to the same thing. Live your life to the fullest you can. I wish you nothing but the best, and much Respect. Good luck and God Bless.
God bless you and llI pray for you. I pray you get to leave out your dream. And live with full happy life as you deserve. I'm sick myself and have the same dreams.i won't get to see it I'm hoping you will.
God bless 🙏❤️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Definitely love that badass old Ford!!!✌🏻
You and me both!
I love this guy. ❤
That was cool video Timmy! Thanks for sharing your journey! Was neat to see some baby pics of the truck camper.
Thanks!
Awesome all way follow your dreams and things will come together that make your heart feel good. From fairbanks Ak. ❤
Go Timmy! ....and your awesome Dad!
I want to build a cabin on the back of my OBS for dip netting and hunting. So much cooler than just another cabover camper.
Cool Timmy. Keep um coming.
Always!
I'm feeling warm and encouraged after watching 👀 if you work hard there's still a dream to be had ❤
Straight from the heart, raw and uncut. I tip my hat to you Tim.
Thank ya kindly
@@TruckHouseLife What wheels do you have?

You are a fortunate young man,and also a good father.All the best to you and your dad.👍🇺🇸❤️
I appreciate that
One of the best videos I've seen on CZcams
We’ve fallen in love with you , Alaska and Trucklife (log cabin on wheels) and we all are better off now that we have
I’ve said it before and will say again. You are a big reason why I up rooted my family and moved to Alaska. In fact I’m building (rebuilding) a 1970 truck camper and working over a 2008 GMC 2500 to haul it so we can go see some of the amazing places you’ve already taken us through your channel. Hopefully we will cross paths eventually in this big beautiful state. Your channel is incredible and you are a real stand up guy. Keep on trucking!!!!!
Good stuff, you've done well! (I still want to hear details of the bigfoot sighting!)
Been watching for over 3 years and I've been inspired to create a rig to get back to living
Awesome! Alaska is definitely a bucket list for me, the scenery there is unreal!
My deep respect to you. It takes a lot of courage to decide for freedom. Great! Many greetings from Germany 🍀🍀
YOU are an inspiration Timmy. Love watching your adventures. You didn't mention your drone flying and editing skills - which are excellent!
Thank you Carrie:)
Enjoyed, Tim, love the cabin wagon, best of luck in the future
Thanks 👍
Good for you, Timmy. You’ve worked hard for a lot of years to love your dream! I’ve enjoyed your honesty & adventures… thanks!
I LOVE your truck house! My favorite homemade house.
Thanks man!
Dude your living your best life a bro!!
Guys (young men) if you can i highly recommend to do this. And if you already are DONT EVER STOP. We tend to loose traction when we get up a bit in age. Dont get me wrong i have many more blessings than i probally deserve. But if i could re do...id be right here like ole Tim.
The most functional and beautiful camper I have ever seen. Compact yet looks like one is at home. Wonderful job my friend. We are here to support you. Live your dream life. And since we keep watching this incredibly beautiful motorhome for hours... Feel like a little bit of it is ours too ;) .
At 70, I am living my dream through your videos. Thank you!!
Wonderful life filled adventure!! Thank you for sharing your adventures to places so many of us won't see
Of course!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
there's alot more to the show than the truck house that makes it awesome.takes a bit of skill,nice job!
Hi Tim - Outstanding video! Love You! Mom 😘🙅🏻♀️
Thanks! Love you too❤
Before I settle down into Ellijay I did some of what you done except at that time they didn't have any CZcams so mine couldn't be filmed I guess it could have but anyway I walked across the United States and and walk to every state in the lower 48 and basically only my mom knew and my dad. I didn't tell any media nor did I do it for money but I did fulfill a lot of my dreams just in a different way. As long as you're happy do what you want to do when you want to do it and if you can make money at it at the same time go for it. Y'all think about it now. Stay vigilant!
Having fun, living the life.
Everything said in this video was well said, and the truck is looking beautiful by the way ❤️ love what you’ve done, man. Keep on Truckin’
Thanks!
Yeah Timmy. Been following you for years
that 7.3 is a beast good choice. that truck isn't fancy but its simple and simple is what you want on the road.
Freaking Awesome 👏, 🤙💯💪😎
Thank you so much for this video and for sharing your heart with us. Always wonderful to get to connect with the person that you've come to enjoy and and pray for and bleed for and just grateful that you're doing this. And that you're living the life you wanna live. Up god bless you and I'll look forward to what's next. Gramma Teri from portland oregon
Thanks for the kind words:)
Thanks for sharing this story.
What a fabulous life and story, Tim!. And the fact you have been able to share so much with your Dad is wonderful. My dad and I flew the alcan together in a Cessna 185, back in the late 80's. We had al Alaskan adventure. He is gone now, but the memories are forever, as will yours with your dad.
Wow that video has 4.7 million views. That must of been the first video I watched because I've watched every video since. Watching from your second home New Zealand
Amazing 👍🏼
Thanks 😁
God bless you Timmy! You are a good man! I thoroughly enjoy all your videos! Well done! ❤️
Wow, what an amazing blessing! I know it has been really great watching your videos. I'm a warm water caribbean type, but you've shown me more!
Great story and content, your an inspiration
Nice .. get notified😂
Thats awesome im glad you accomplished all of those things you set out to do. I tried Ak and couldnt stand it. Ill take the Ak marine ferry to go fish for a few days but thats about it.
Thanks, Timmy. There aren't many people that successfully follow their dreams, but you have. You worked for what you have every step of the way. You found a way to do it and that's great. Now you are taking us along with you on your adventures. Most of us won't experience the things you have and do the things you continue to do. But, somehow we do it through you. Thanks so much to you and thanks to your dad for lighting a spark.
Do not fall for the BS comment from the scum Hit me @Truckhouselife. It is a complete fing scam baiter. Wish the world could be free of these nasty scumbags who try and prey on others.🤢🤮
Thanks Timmy for giving us your history. You’re a special spirit. Don’t ever stop. You have entertained and inspired people all over the world. Gods blessings
I just found your channel about a week ago,an subscribed love your vibe and your dad is awesome
Awesome welcome! aand thank you he sure is!
congradulations, dreams come true.
Hard work and wisdom from a genuine man. Thank you.
I appreciate that
Quite a journey! I still want to build a truck cabin at some point.
You don’t just get this one life that’s why you’re as deep you are ✌🏻
Love it..just finished watching one of your videos..my first and then this one. So cool..thanks for this one..and your absolutely right..find the life you love and live it..life is much too short to be miserable. Be safe and God bless
Well done!
This is definitely one of my favourite of your videos, mate. Great stuff! Thank you.
I'm very glad Timmy that you managed to fulfill your dream of traveling and because this YT channel guarantees you decent income. It would be interesting to make a change and take it south to Ushuaia.
Same here:)
so inspiring, keep it up!
Your story is so inspiring - thank you.
your a badass bro....keep up the content
Thanks! Will do!
Love your vids and your story, man! Keep sending it!
Love it man!! You'll always have a home back here in KENNESAW!!
Thanks for sharing your life, your journey and your life's adventures with us all...
Great video with good advice. I’m almost 69 and planning to keep adventuring as long as I can. Plus making art and playing live music.
I actually found your channel organically. Your truck was parked outside of 11th Street Station in Durango, Colorado and I saw your CZcams sticker that said, "Truck House Life"... I went back inside and immediately looked you up and have been hooked ever since! I've shown my parents, siblings, and friends your videos and we sometimes all sit around and watch them together. Get after it and can't wait to see what your future holds!!
Timmy your channel rocks love watching you going on your adventures, wish you all the best! Hope to see at the Overland expo in Flagstaff AZ this year.
Thats a great story. Your sacrifices paid and im happy for you.
Literally living your dream. Wonderful. God bless, stay safe

I love hearing stories like yours and now you're living life your own way!!'I've always loved the outdoors and seeing places I'll never be able to go and I'm fine with that. I'm handicap with a brittle bone disease and these days I can't do much but I can't change anything so I try to just make the best of everything. TV and movies and CZcams especially content like yours is what helps me. Take Care and Stay Safe.
Great video Tim. I've been watching you for a few years and I love your truck and camper. I even got the hibby jibbies watching you drive those switchbacks on those mountain roads. I got to white water raft through you( at 67 I won't start now 😂). You earn every cent you make. To future adventures!
Safe Travels Always God Bless
Love from India
Awesome! Congrats on living your best life
I remember seeing you drive through Flagstaff, AZ a few years back!
Thank you for telling your story of what led you to todays adventures. Happy travels!

Hey Timmy. Nice job ! I met you in the City Market parking lot when you were in Moab. Your camper truck is a beast. God bless man.
