This is a playful mad max rendition of a post apocalyptic home. I designed it more for the harsh environment of the Burningman art festival, where I spent two weeks Nomading around the event.
My website covers this camper and many other small shelters, boats and vehicles that I've built in the past: elkinsdiy.com
This guy is a boss, check this out; this guy discovered a way to be more self sufficient. Not only did he manipulate transportation and shelter for himself. He actually figured out electricity and power consumption in order for him to heat and cook. The camper he uses is small, requiring little effort to move. if you did not get this idea from somewhere else, you definitely inspired others to recreate this in their own fashion. Great video
Probably cost about $900 in new York city to rent
And probably 1200 for LA.

@@AlbertInSanAntonio Damn,I would not want to live there.
1400* in nyc
Will be £6750 p/m to rent in Mayfair, London
I'm so glad that I came across this cuz I am homeless (actually-- residentially challenged 👍) and I do love to ride my bike. I've always wanted to be able to travel and this is a GREAT IDEA ☺️😊

Bless you,keep us posted.
Hope you’re ok man 👍
How did you get on with making it?
I cannot believe you can have SO much around what is actually a large chair!! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant👏😂
I lived in my car for 150 days, but this is better, no gas bill.
There would be a fat expenditure bill for carrying it around instead. You choose which energy you want to spend, money for gas? Or fat for pedalling?
Prob alot safer inside a car.
Propane for stove
@Rick 1776-1970 for sure !
No Insurance..
This is brilliant.
I've been RVing for 2 years and I cant figure out how to utilize all the wasted space. FORGET THE HATERS!Thx for sharing your creative genius 😎
It really is
Lol💙💚❤️💜🤢
*How's it going Rving Full time? We Kindda thought about doing that last time we moved. 😁😁😁*
@@connectionoflivesandinterests we worked gate guard jobs and lived out of the fifth wheel, I guess it's nice if you are avoiding family, or not into having ppl over around the holidays.
It has its ups and downs.
You are absolutely right!!
This is brilliant, id love to have had something like this when I was homeless excellent
Me too. I was homeless for 4 years. This would’ve been great at that time.
You're so practical and innovative! Your inventions make anything possible for anyone especially those who are not privileged. Thank you for sharing! You reduce anxiety as well.
Paul you could take it to next level and cover it with semiflexible solar panels and use it to power your electric bicycle. It will become long range camper ;)
boom... mind blowin
это гениально )
Actually a pretty good idea!
Kamil Domjan
solar panels are pretty expensive while wind turbines and magnetic generators aren't.
shizukagozen777
100w semi-flexible solar panel will fit perfectly and will be more than enough to power devices
Everybody criticizing his bike bug out thing and you should really give him a shit load of credit for doing that guys
Mellow Marsh thanks for taking all the fun out of the video darsh
Yeah, most men his age are retired and just sit around watching baseball.
Ever person who disses him - he just hands the person the full poop bucket. Proves his point.
Yeah!... Forget Bear Grylls.....post apocalypse I'm with this guy!! Ingenious. 😁
J'aime beaucoup la bulle pour la position de la tête. Le Top pour la table! Monsieur l'inventeur vous avez un Talent fou!
VERY clever and ingenious Paul!!! Most people place too much emphasis on "things" and would actually be much happier if they could see that true happiness is not in things, but in peace of mind, and looking for the good in the 'small' things in life!! Thank you for sharing your very clever, thought provoking "Tiny" house with us!!! Love it!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Just LOVE when people live FREE. I went from Denmark To Singapore on a bicycle in 1999-2000...... we cycled more than 16.000 km.
The BEST experience in my life so far.
Singapore is an island. AmPHIBious bicycles? Or just "phibbing" in general?
TAR ICO hehehe
Its connected by road and we cycled there even its was only for cars at that time ;-)
Good idea for the homeless here in California. Thinking of building one for 1 of my few homeless friends.
Just do it, don't say it on youtube comments ;)
Tell him to get a job instead
@@SnakeFunk lol
Someone could steal it from your friend, unless he’s given a safe place to park it & love in it! - Sadly...
@@SnakeFunk exactly people don't understand if you do something from the heart no need to tell anyone. Just do it bc it really is something between you and God. Good deeds dnt need to be validate or notice. God see it all that counts
He has everything he needs. He is rich and joyful~
One of the coolest projects I´ve seen in a long time
I like everything but the head bubble. We'll need to replace that with a non see through metal one. No one would think someone's head was in there then.
he can always sleep the other way round and put his feet there. :)
Fidel I agree
Fidel Cashflow -or you could just tint it really dark. Metal would have to be fabricated by a metal smith
Or put a skylight in top. Like a moon roof except a black shade for privacy. Real window with tempered glass. I would want more structure to it.
I think he likes to look out at the stars at night. But maybe he could make it into a two way mirror or tint it black like a car window?
Nice except for that head bubble. Too claustrophobic 4 me
Once you close your eyes and fall asleep it would be fine. I would prefer either a cover in the morning or glass that darkens in sunlight. Not just for my eyes but for privacy.
I'd put my feet at that end
@@charianwarid451 lol 😆
@J B Hilarious. Yeah in my town it'd be worse!
@we live Im the Guy in the Video.. I just got outa Prison. Im not like this anymore im relgious now
Very ingenious mate.
Actually I liked your philosophy “you dont need much”
*Amen & AMEN!!! 😁😁😁*
You’ve done a good job in fitting everything one needs in such a tiny place. 👍
I'm blown away with how awesome this bicycle camper is. I would love to have one built for 2🤗
He definitely put some innovation into it, but it really only works for one person. If you made it for 2, it would have to be significantly bigger and heavier and not easily towed with a bicycle.
@@solidaudioTV He needs more room for his pillow.
@@Lizfan2 Agreed :-) That head bubble is ridiculous!
@@solidaudioTV well you could make one for an electric gocart & design the cart
Minimalist at it's finest! Makes me want to quit my job and go exploring, it so much fun to travel by bicycle. Great job Paul you have thought of just about everything!
THIS IS GENIUS, I want one, and plenty of homeless would love it also.
You have designed and built an awesome trailer home! Thank you for sharing it.
I just love people like him! lol So soft spoken, laid back, simple and creative. Good for you having put something like this together. I found it quite interesting and the video was very enjoyable! God bless and keep safe!
Well, now, Kacy...if you want God to bless and protect this man with his “post apocalyptic” human box then perhaps you should supply him with a cross and a sprinkler of holly water! 🤪
Oh, wait...zombies are immune to God, aren’t they?!
Ann Julee You can't even spell Holy right 😂lol
It’s voice dictation with auto spell/correct...that also refused your name, Suzie with a “Z”! 😂
And just so you know, I’m a lifelong atheist and also refer to what’s his name as Jebus (following the lead of the all mighty Homer Simpson, of course),...are you gonna criticizzzzze that and correct it as well?! 🤪
Ann Julee There are many women who spell Suzie with a z. In fact there are a few ways of spelling it so you know honey 😉 And if you don't accept Jesus as your saviour you're going to hell 🔥
I believe in science, NOT in fiction...especially the kind peddled by religion. ALL religions operate on spreading fear to separate people and ultimately creating hate and violence. What religion is doing to people around the globe is hell on earth. I think it’ll take my chances with your fictional one, Suzie 😊
I should buy this just in case that my wife kick me out again.
Edit: I forgot the password to this account, it was a joke, I wrote this when I was 14 yrs old, I DON'T have a wife.
You came back to You wife after that? Seems You like to be kicked out.
AGAIN
Why would someone do that?
Great comment 👍🏾
@@KL-bg8fi thx you
this man is a freaking legend.
- Einstein
Thank you for all the creativity put into this construction. I admire you!
this makes the tiny houses look like mansions. i like the concept! great work :P
Well said Buck Wheat. I think subconsciously a lot of folks react the
same way. We buy and collect possessions that we feel will make us
happy, and after a while those possessions turn into boat anchors that
end up weighing us down. I love the saying 'less is more'. It's so true.
Oh so true.
You are wise, Grasshopper!
I like your balanced perspective.
I heard this on Public Radio. When people are shopping, and they buy something. they get a hit of dopamine, one of the feel good neurotransmitters.
It's the same with video games, like Pokemon Go that is so popular now. I see a lot of teenagers and a few older folks playing Pokemon in the parks at night. Finding a Pokemon gives them a bit of dopamine, but this is all short term satisfaction. Shopping and playing video games are a lot like trying to satisfy a drug addiction.
It's like having too many phones when of ur a gamer u only need 1 or 2 not 9
bet you need 9 games though.........
GankNSpank put 9 games on to one or two phones
Dear Paul- I've always been fascinated by small things that are incredibly efficient as a living space. Starting with a pop up trailer, I have finally graduated to a Pleasure Way Van that has many of the efficiencies that your "Max" does that I love. Happy trails. Y
Cool. The only few things I'd be concerned about are the fumes from the propane cook stove, it needs far better venting in such a tiny space it wouldn't take much for things to go badly, so I'd Install a larger vent or two or else remove it from inside and strictly use it outdoors. If there is ever a big storm with high winds it's not going to stay put, so I'd also consider installing some steel tie downs that can anchor into the ground, bring you a small 2 inch battery operated handheld augar to dig down into the ground, and a make shift anchor and tie down assembly to secure and stabilize during g high winds.
I wish these were mass produced, so that in ten years i could go bike touring around the world and be able to sleep wherever the road takes me. Hotels are pricy, and in a tent i feel too exposed. This is a solid, homey alternative.
I don’t about that,....because I still think paying for a hotel room is a much better option than encountering a wondering drunk who just thought...hummmm...that’s one nice bubble with a sleeping masked head in it for me to pee on!!
Hey, I’m juuuuuuuust saying!! 🤪
Most definitely YES, Dougie...and I challenged you to find 10 women in your life who’d disagree with my point of view on this!! :)
Ann Julee I disagree 😹that's one 😉lol
That thing is the COOLEST...I love it, with a few refinements, it's ready for mass production. 👍
Lmao^^^ clueless
@@bobbybeausoleigh7778 45 others beg to differ fart sniffer.
Lmao you have no idea what's coming lmao.
@@bobbybeausoleigh7778 "You have no idea whats coming" Oh no what a surprise everyone I know can see the future ooooohohohooohooo
That is extremely cool!im just blown away with how much stuff is in there as well as so many function.Awesome job!
This is crazy. Never have I ever seen such a practical camper! Wow!
I wouldnt want to travel in this yet Id love to spend time in it in my garden during the rain. It would feel cozy.
West Nile virus watch out there here!!!!😁
Just Purple Rain though
That would be awesome.
Lorenzo Notarianni the only thing he needed to do was add color. It looks plain and blanc.
I watched the whole thing with a smile on my face. Fun.
I'll give it to you!!! This lil trailer was done right absolutely!!! I love that you've taken it to burning man
So many great ideas in one small package... it is easy to see you put tons of thought into this.. Well done.
Very cool. It looks small from the outside. But lots of room from the inside.
He should call it the 'TARDIS'!
gage4g Lots of room inside? You are kidding.
gage4g
Claustrophobic.
Jörg Fieberg hahaha
Man these would sure make life easier for homeless people,awesome ideal great work
I was just thinking the same thing. Would be great for everyone to have one just in case. With the way the world is going it could happen to any of us at any time.
+Rob N Not really, its kinda hard to get homeless to be honest
+Max Mustermann Not really
Asian Cheat Codes Where are you living?
Max Mustermann Lmao n.y
This would definitely be preferable to sleeping on the ground & in the elements!
I love what you did, I built a 1/2 camper in the back of my P U truck in 1992 and travel all over as a 50 year old lady, loved it
this should be on the market
he said market. Homeless people could still not afford. most of them need that drug money
Varoon paid for by whom?
You should be.
It won't the government would ban it
Your a special person and God bless you!! Your ideas are great for the homeless population!
I can envision the THOUSANDS of homeless doing this 😐
That's really neat.
Lots of flexibility built in.
Great work
So cozy and livable good luck and good work
This is very awesome, sir. I applaud your ingenuity.
Luv the head bubble, good view for the stars at night! 😂
FriendJessica J and drunken frat boy teabagging or turd bombs lol
Много ли для счастья надо! Молодец мужик!
Really nice camping kit 👌 well done 👏 ✔
Homeless people can appreciate this...suppose you could get a non profit organization to sponsor these for the homeless so that their quality of life is more relaxed?🤔
Norman Harris OMG,no....there would be SURPLUS or traffic and then it doesn't have FEE'S OR BILLS! We need too push them out of POVERTY 👍
maybe the homeless that are trying to get out of poverty. They could maybe give a deadline to get a job, or start charging low rent like $5 a month and continue to increase the cost overtime. They then will learn to be self sufficient again, boost their confidence, and eventually make a living.
Norman Harris, I think the money used to build a wall on the Mexican border will fit just perfectly. why don't you run this idea by, President Trump, lol!
Norman Harris fuck that! Get a fucking job you bums
Maybe the homeless, should get up, grow up and get a job.
He rides from his front yard to his back yard to “camp out”.
A kid that never grew up.
Havent met an "adult" I truly consider an "adult". We never grow up. That's the point. ♡

How very creative!!.I really enjoyed this man's ingenuity. Keep it simple ✌️
My car was in a fire and may be written off and I was thinking of getting a bike with a wagon but you just have me an excellent winter project. I am so motivated. Ty.
You are brilliant, everything functional, neat; very cool.
This could honestly benefit the homeless population 🤔 really cool man
aloha-rosy I was just thinking the same exact thing.. This could be a great project for benefit of the homeless population.
He's made lots of these, like a couple dozen. This one isn't very durable and wont last long. He mentions burning man because this is really only meant to be out for a few days at a time.
john sanchez people are homeless from there bad decisions if we help them all the time just with welfare if you cant provide fore youself then you haft to take the consquences not the goverment no any organization
@@bob.evans.8679 Not everyone can grow up to be an English major such as yourself.
@@robertlefeaux bob.Evans majored in making breakfast sausage...he's *not* an English major!
You are so creative, skilled and just awesome!
You're a beautiful beautiful human being my friend you get it man watched a lot of your videos and listen to you talk a lot man you are more than just inspiration for so many things bless you much my friend bless you much
I love how this vid is 3 years old but all the top comments are less than a week old. GG on recommendations CZcams lol.
yeah I had 90 thumbs up on my comment, most ever.
They want you to move in a tiny box so you can make videos about it. Lol
looks cool but a pain to peddle
I like it, because homeless people need this, to stay out of the elements, I mean the rich and wealthy won't build nothing affordable for the homeless and poor, I like the idea that somebody really cares, and I thank God for giving him the gift to build something for the less fortunate.
@@p.chuckmoralesesquire3965 Good workout.
What a genius design Paul. I ♥ it. U r a creative legend and genius. Well done buddy :)
Seriously?
@Anthony Ferrell OMG I was thinking the same thing. Looks like a middle school shop project (C or C-) or a 40-year-old virgin who needs to adopt a cat. And this other one thinks he's a "creative legend"? WOW!
@@GenerallyGeneralLee
Yeah. He might as well have jammed a popsicle stick into a turd.
Such a smart and efficient little camper!
You ate a genius! Love this bicycle doomsday escape, will tell my husband to make me one! Be blessed
NASA needs you ! Good inspiration for anyone that is homeless.
No good for the homeless.
Remember the old saying "Beggars can't be choosers". Well these days, beggars are the biggest choosers.
@@davidedwards3361 You got that right.
Hummmmm....I don’t know about NASA using this guy’s design, especially that emergency pee funnel of his. I’m just gonna take a wild guess here and say that there’ll be pee floating everywhere... :)
THIS IS HOW THEY MADE THE EAGLE ( WHICH "HAS LANDED" ) SOME 50 YEARS AGO. SAME TECHNOLOGY...

German scientists head it.
I love it.. very very much.. it's like a fantasy.. very imaginative.. creative.. inspiring!
Ahhh. Some one who get's it! Thanks Shana Bananazzzzzzzzz
Paul Elkins it reminds me of a child's imagination.. like every thing you want with out the frills.. just simple and free..
+Paul Elkins thats amazing. so cleaver how you have made it 👍
Such an ingenious design! My compliments!👌🏻
My father and I invented something very similar only the bike had a motor and it was completely surrounded by the camper. I designed it and thought of it and my father helped me build it. May my father rest in peace. I’ll always miss and I will always love him.
This is brilliant, fantastic work, you are very gifted and inspiring man.
Especially with that emergency pee funnel of his, unfriendly to female needs, right?! :)
coolest mobile home ever.
Sweet n simple
I absolutely adore this! How wonderfully clever!
Love this video! Why a clever way to get around and still have the necessities with you
I just wonder what skills and knowledge it takes to design and make it. I love tiny homes, but this surpasses even that admiration. Wish You all the safety and good luck wherever You come and stay.
around 100 pounds with stove, cooler etc.
I like it it keeps cost down ( hotels, motels & b&b etc) But, it's not for everyone that's fair enough everyone has there personal preferences. But, here in the u.k something like that someone who has spent sometime & a bit of cash on it the chances of it being kept undamaged is quite slim. Unless it is kept under good security when not being used. Which seems such a shame. But, I suppose that could be in some other countries aswell they could be just as destructive towards something like this. Enjoy your trips (holidays) with it 👍
You could have added alot more weight with easy of towing if you use MicroBlue wheel bearings.
Yes, it's a shame that someone with ambition and a strong work ethic cannot take something like this to a camp ground and leave it unattended. Why can't people just be honest? Usually it is someone without ambition or brains or integrity that preys on those who do.
It depends. Most times something unusual will receive attention, fascination and respect. It's young adults and kids who do most of the damage. An example is when I build a sand sculpture and leave it for a few hours. I've seen little kids just come up and tromp on them with glee in their faces. WTF??? But hey, they're kids...

This thing is amazing! my favorite design out of all the bicycle campers I’ve seen. I’m thinking of making one myself of the same shape just because I like it that much. Hoping to maybe travel transam at some point with something like this. I’ve watched this video about 3 dozen times and can’t get enough of it wish there was a more in-depth video of it on how it was put together and what was used
For the apocalypse, you may want to paint the exterior something besides blinding white. However I am blown away by all the thought and clever placement and over sizing it must have taken. It's perfection. Bravo. What a fun obsession.
Thats so cool i was homeless for about a year sure could of used one lol. i love building stuff to thanks for your channel keep em coming.
That's so sad! How did you become homeless if you don't mind me asking? What was it like?
I was homeless for 2 months, it was a struggle, most of the day every day was spent trying to find someone to speak with to help get out of the situation (social workers and such) . Was a powerful experience, definitely opened my eyes, I regularly throw a twenty or fifty at homeless people I see. Don't wanna go back there. Don't wish it on anyone.
Yui Nyan hentai opened your eyes pleas dont lie
itadakimasu Can't argue with that tbh.

Paul you are so smart, i like YOUR small camper is cute. I wait to build one. Shalom
If I had this when I was a kid!🤯 Even owning one now..I'm so down!
Paul Elkins: Good job on making this! What a novel idea! Looks like something-that would be great for homeless people.
EYES OPEN That's what I actually thought. The Gov. should help them out.
Exactly what I just thought
Or maybe the homeless would like to have a home? Just maybe.
Ha, I thought the same thing.
I'm homeless and I would love that!!
Neat idea! You should sell the blue prints.
Hazel Kagey looks better and more advanced than the tweeker shelter that supposedly landed on the moon. LoL
@@michaelscofield31 I totally agree. The camera alone would have melted along with the flesh trying to get through the Van Allen Radiation Belt.

Amazing how well organized it is. I really like it.
This guy reminds me of MR Rogers.........its a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Hello neighbor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really
Its a beautiful day in This neighborhood***
Pure GENIUS! This could help alot of homeless people!!
yes, but , then all the homeless people would need places to park them. I don't think Walmart would like that.
I love all your work man....practical and simple
The original stealth camper! This guy was way ahead of the curve.
Another great invention. Awesome as always.
Awesome, very creative, only thing i would put some screen over that hole at the bottom of the bubble, so something doesn't reach up & bite you in the back of the head, plus to keep rats & mosquitoes out. lol
Wow! Very ingenious! All you need is insulation! I’m pretty sure your project could be engineered to perfection!👌thanx for sharing!
This is brilliant 👍 you could easily sell this in my country. greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
sweet build my dude! thats awesome!
This is amazing. Very compact and it’s just what you need when you want to escape the world and spend some me time and appreciate the nature that surrounds you. Thanks for the video 👍
Pretty cool camper and very creative. Great ideas for simple living.
4yrs ago.. and I’m watching this!! it’s cute. 💙
This was so interesting! I really loved all the little spaces you had for everything! Good job:)
Really like your self made camper. Thanks for sharing.
Actually much more than I expected from initially seeing it's size!
This is so amazing!! I lived for a short time without a car in Oregon as the travel bike company I was selling bikes for encouraged us all to go carless. I had a nifty litte bike trailer they manufactured that had a Rubbermaid action packer for the body and it worked great! I've now returned to the land of the auto (CA) so don't really use it anymore... but it was a cool experience in my 20's
