- Guys and gals welcome back to another episode of schofield welding. Probably one of the biggest expenses while on the road is hotel costs. It will eat up profit pretty fast! So in this episode I will be taking you to my camp. Instead of staying in a hotel room or renting an AirBB house I am living in our enclosed trailer and let me tell you it has been awesome! Number right now it’s tourism season in the little town I’m working in so it’s just ridiculously expensive and number 2 I just love living in the woods. Come with me to my camp as we get going on this job.

Leaving the family is always the hardest part. Knowing that your providing for them makes it better but it’s always worth it. I gave it up a couple of years ago because my kids grew up without me. Stay safe and always do what you can with them while your home.
Fantastic day Jake 👍🇺🇸!! Passing on the welding trade to the next generation is an awesome feeling. Love the camp buddy, and that hike will sure get the heart and lungs a burning.
Keep up the amazing content Jacob!! Stay positive and motivated brother. Your a good man providing for your family.
Jake I have been running a heavy wrecker in west texas but all together for 7 years. Used to weld but never really applied myself. Im teaching myself to weld pipe again. You have inspired me to get back into welding. I bought a hobart from tractor supply since they're made by miller now I figured that would give me a good start to tubbing out my denali 2500. Hopefully when oil comes back ill be a welder again and live my life a little bit like you. Keep on keepin on man and stay safe. I watch all of your videos you post. Im 28 but I've learned alot from you. Stay safe and hopefully I'll get to meet you one day
Im welder from Brazil , i like Jacob videos, you are amazing Jacob gob job for your and u family my friend
Heck ya! Nothing like nature. Stay busy and stay relaxed bud.
Looks like a peaceful and relaxing place to stay after a hard days work.
That is amazing. I remember doing the same, being away from home , working. Now that I'm alot older, I have to say that was the best time I had doing what I loved. God bless
That is awesome! I agree I love it also.
Looks very awesome there. I love to watch cooking with Jake. (Cooking the pipe liner way) stay blessed Jake.
I'm super excited I found your channel. I've been a shop welder for about 5 years mainly tig welding. I recently taught myself to stick and now I'm in the plants. I've decided I want to get myself a truck and see where that takes me. Your channel has been very informative for me.
Hey bud, any update?
Everything pays out at the brother you do what you have to do that is what we do no matter its takes you get the job done be safe brother and keep on welding
Dude that’s badass! I’m a road welder but don’t have a rig or anything but would love to find work out west, it’s always been a dream of mine since I started welding
Honestly can’t wait for this man! Bet it’s hard being away from home but nice to be working hard for family!
Awesome. I've been there. When the other guys headed to the bars, I went to camp. I lived out of my rig truck more than once when out in the boondocks. Looking back, best days of my life. You're doing it right My friend.
Gregg thats the truth I have pretty nice camp and just love being out there. its been a really nice reset for me.
You’re a great guy. I hardly ever leave the Texas//Oklahoma area but look forward to meeting you and your family someday.
Awesome stuff schofield.👍👍
I gotta say, it sucks not being with the ones you love, but if there's a way to make it enjoyable and relaxing, this is it.
thats a 100% true for sure. I do enjoy the quite and peace the mountains give you.
Great vid! Thank you for sharing the life!
Our pleasure!
By far one of my favorite video of yours.
I will start doing more of them for sure.
Just started welding school. Excited to see where it takes me. Really enjoy your videos Jake!
I’m about to start as well how far have came? Pause….
Just grin at it, works every time!
Love how you used a wedge to stir it all up! Don’t mind many people that think outside the box or ones who think that’s nasty since it’s a tool🤙🏼 be safe god bless
hahaha got to make due when you forget simple things like forks and spatualas
Definitely lonely but at the same time it’s the most peaceful way to live while your grinding, From a fellow brother of fire keep up the good work!
true that but just like you said it has been awesome staying out there.
You musta got yur Martha Stewart badge. That broom action was amazing.
i love the camp set up!!! its hard to be away from family BUT it pays the bills that keep coming every month!!
yes sir thats the truth. they keep coming and we keep paying them.
Not been subscribed ling but I’ve kinda just binged an absolute unit amount of your videos. Already one of my favorite you tubers. Thanks for all the inspiration man. Be Blessed
Jordan man I love hearing that. Thank you sir
Awesome stuff! Looks like some beetles got to those trees up there but a beautiful place. Looks like a great place to fish too.
I have heard there is some good fishing. i might need to try it out. it was a big fire that came through a couple years back.
My kind of camp buddy.
Reminds me of deer camp be safe out there God bless.
the best kind of camp lol
@@JacobSchofield yeah i went out an got me a 16 foot camper trailer today.
1:34 I like the blow through, means you fixed a bad spot on the root👍
Your the man mr. Jake!!!
Wow my favorite episode so far brotha! Lovely family & amazing welds!!! 👨🏼🏭💪🏼
Lucas I will build more like this thnks for watching
@@JacobSchofield Thank you for taking the time to be vulnerable & share your life and passions with the world!
Love this kind of content. Keep it up bro. Be safe.
I will start making more of them like this thanks for the input.
You sir are living the American Dream💪
Love the Spatula Jake! Wedge!
hahahah lol to freaking funny!! I was woundering how many people would know what that was.
Nice stuff! I'm a traveling millwright now, got hired on because they needed someone who could weld whatever. It's been hard af in this heat but I'm learning alot! Maybe in a few weeks I'll have enough to get a tub rig going and start a side hustle... maybe even a business?
King I think everyone should start a business! probably with just what you know you could start a succesful business
I chased pipelines in Northern Canada for 5 years, I definitely don’t miss these goodbyes
good to see you out back chasing them donuts good luck
Man we never stopped just kinda took a break with the filming while we got the business off the ground and going after getting laid off.thank you for staying with us.
Man i fuckin love this! I always thought it was cool seeing you when i worked on wells ranch a few years ago. Im working on getting a camper and rigging up, cant wait to live that dream brother!
Sevin im glad brother. Crazy to know you where out on wells ranch as well spent a lot of years out there.
Im a welder from malaysia.may god bless all the welder in the world.
Bro that's awesome ur a real live mountain man. Love ur trailer kinda reminds me of my old prison cell HUMILITY check.
hahaha best way to live for sure.
Looks lonely but rewarding out there brother 👍🏻
Great name man
Man sometimes I enjoy being alone. But your right it’s a lot better to have a family with you.
You’re a beast brother how you have so much energy to go go go after a long days work
Im lazy man thats the truth I have to force myself to do things like that. lol. Thanks for the motivation brother.
That’s a new use for the spacing tool😃👍
yes sir it is lol
Love the wedge spatula
hahah make due with what I have.
Great videos Jake , enjoying what you do from down here in Australia🇦🇺 - keep it up mate . Where did you get your Fossil fuelled nation cap from ?
I like the sunglasses, what brand are they? Great video as well, you're such a motivational guy to watch. Love it!
What respirator do you use under your welding hood. I weld in a unheated shop in the winter and was wondering if that would help keep my hood from fogging up?
beats hotel life. im in ontario canada, so weather is getting cooler now anyway. plus welding distribution Im all over the map. great videos.
I’m not sure about all that...... it’s one thing to rough it short term..... but, out of a makeshift cargo hauler, little much
I follow all your videos and I,am proud say I know a real American “Jake “ just like our country’s founders that built this great country.
Gary man what an honor thank you sir. I try to be a Good American a productive citizen. Thanbk you so much.
yeah, and on the way to work you'll start to think about it, is it worth being gone so long or so many times in the year?, but everything we do is cuz of them and because of them we sometimes have to be a part! sad but we gotta keep going! heads up hoods down, make it rain brotha! p.s you put on some weigth dude!😄😆
What happened to the RV trailer you used to have get rid of it? Where is this just a video showing basic/ easier way to do it . Either way awesome video hope everyone is doing well and staying safe 👍👍👍
Man I would love to be where you are at right now that looks freaking awesome I've always wanted to do something like that
It dosnt get much better roughing it and still working making money then going home on the weekends to a nice apartment I have enjoyed it a lot.
I have been following you for a while and I see some major changes
Hope all is well, love ur videos
All good changes promise. Thank you Robert.
Where did you get that umbrella?
love campin
me too.
A simple life is all I want
Youll get there, hang on.
@@JacobSchofield Been hauling bulls since I got screwed outta my Red seal until next summer haha
Wassiii I whish I was there man awesome 😎 you on my team bro 🤠
🤙
Right on
That's a nice fork you got there. Cast iron pan, just wipe it out, no dishes to wash. Keep it simple, stay focused!
That's the plan! your right I love the cast iron
Hey man I’m in aerospace welding right now and I’ve been here for a year now and I got two years total of welding experience and I’ve always wanted to get into being a rig welder down the road and wanted to know some helpful tips. Thanks
like in finding work or setting up truck what kind of tips?
Jacob Schofield the best way to get into the industry. Like say I get a rig where do I go from there in finding work
@@JacobSchofield same here I have the same question
Thanks Jake another great video! how far did you travel? looks like your family home is apartment.? thought maybe your 5th wheel be your home all the time. looks like a good camp spot . working on building trades now cool thats what I do. good crew a highschooler working with you!
so we just barely got the apartment. I still need to do a video on it. the 5th wheel has been our home for 9 years and we still have it just incase we need to hit the road.
What song was used when you were hiking
That is going to be the hardest part for me when I start pipeline. I'm the oldest with 3 young brothers and sisters. All I know is that it will pay off in the long end
It definetly sucks and for me I never get used to leaving my family but the feeling of coming back home with some money is definetly a good feeling.
If it was easy everyone would do it. You develop a bond with the people you work with and it’s something you can’t find anywhere else. No one else knows how it feels until you’ve done it or youre apart of it. You hate it when you’re doing it but miss it when you aren’t.
Slideshooter9 wish you and your family good luck and success
Where is this at? Considering there's grizzlies.
That's ruffing it kid
i love these lifestyle videos you do.
Jacob what happened to the rv?
I like the wedge fork😂
Just making due lol!!
You should look into distribution pipeline welding. Still get rig pay plus bbn union wages and home every night. Check out miller pipeline or Minnesota limited. Looks kinda rough compared to the way you used to have it
Daniel we are actually making the same money. but we decided to get an apartment in town instead of staying in the 5th wheel so without Eliza and Baylin I have the luxery of being able to camp instead of getting a hotel room which sucks!! So it has been great.
@@JacobSchofield wasn't sure what was up with it man. I knew the oil industry dropped bottom, so just hoped you were doing ok. Camping is a blast, more of a weekend hobby for us. Good luck out there bud
I'm in Tech School in South Carolina for Welding just started my 2nd semester
heck yes congrats its a really good trade to be in
Survival man.
Family , friends , fabrication , fusion and filming . Don't get burnt out bud .
Take time to unplug and disconnect .
Be safe , stay healthy take time for yourself .
Jake man I have to be doing something all the time or i am bored lol. thanks for worrying about me though be blessed
Where is this at ? Looks beautiful !!!
Hello
Dude looked at the arc twice no lense. I bet he saw a bright orb for a couple minutes.
You camping out in public land? I love the minimal camper bro!! I live out of my Tacoma camper and pocket that per diem baby!!
I have loved it man it has been awesome and my father in law will be joining me this week.
Fuck that, we all going together then. Ima be in the rv and we ride at dawn, TOGETHER.
Boilermaker here and i know exactly what this is ! everytime I go to the turnarounds 😥
Boilermaker doesn’t count that’s what AP said
Abstinence makes the heart stronger looks like God's country down time bow time
What's the average time u get off of work? How many total hours do u put in one day?
I usually show back up around 6 pm depending on what we are doing. I work anywhere from 10 -14 hrs a day 5-7 days a week just depending on what needs finished.
Why the shorty mag for the rifle?
Laying prone the long mags get in the way
is that brokeback mountain there behind you?
Hahahaha you know mountain?
The many uses of a wedge here it was used as a cooking tool
5:20 ya boy pissing in a bottle
I would love to get the chance to work make money and get to camp at the same time
hey, what happened to the Rv you guys had?
It’s just sitting at the house.
@@JacobSchofield oh ok i thought you guys had to sell it
Your poor wifey was crying man!
yes sir all part of a good bye. its a good sign it at least means she loves me and will miss me while im gone.
How big is that trailer?
My little utility trailer? its a 7x14 i cut 2 windows into it and it makes for a really light weight camp trailer.
@@JacobSchofield Thanks man, that's a great idea for an inexpensive sleeper!
What happened to his 5th wheel?
I’m thinking the same thing 🤷♂️ one thing to Rough it short term ( couple days) but .....
Why are you living out of a utility trailer? Where is your 5th wheel?
Probably cheaper to haul a utility trailer around
David Dean Following.
Not a fan of the music but I love the message
Where’s your travel trailer??
I'd b out there w ya bud if ya needed a helper. Plus, I'd eat a grizzly for breakfast. 😁👍😝
Hahaha we should totally eat a grizzly if they would ever open the seaso
Why are you living in a 5x10 cargo wagon?
Just for fun... it was a great summer
Lmao was that a spacer tool you were using lol
yes sir it was lol. making due lol
Dude talks about how the areas full of grizzly bears and then proceeds to cook hamburger
You still have to eat... can’t be scared your whole life
At least you're not going overseas.
Do you hunt Jacob?
I hunt Coyotes a lot and when I was younger I would go every year for deer and elk but since ive been on the road for so long I have not been able to. This will be the first year in about 8 years I will go elk hunting.
@@JacobSchofield Truthfully I'm really glad you're going back. I've been on the road for only 2 years welding at Bruce Power Nuclear Generating Station and it'll mean a lot if I can go but it doesnt seem likely. You deserve it.... good luck and well wishes.... from Ontario Canada, UA Local 527 brother.
Want
Some of us have been doing this all of our career. Sorry dude but not feeling bad. It’s just part of the trade
Not asking for your simpathy dude! I simply recorded a video and built it. It’s a day in my life. Take your bull shit somewhere else.
It’s not bullshit I’m just saying.
As a left handed welder I carried my puddle from right to left not left to right t
You can ssee better just my opinion
Yes, I'm left handed as well & I always start from right to left. It's just more of a natural flow & feeling for me.
@@ASAPJermz it was. It was just more natural young man thanks for responding
we probably should of taught him that but we where having a hard enough time trying to get him to relax.
Love the flag on the wall.. It is safe to say you are not from Portland OR.
