Turning an Abandoned Bus into a Cozy Wilderness Shelter | Complete Transformation

  • Опубликовано: 16 апр 2025
  • Deep in the wild, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, stood a forgotten, rusty old bus. Determined to transform it into a welcoming shelter, I began the renovation: installing new windows, building a sturdy table and comfortable bed, setting up a wood stove, and adding a simple washbasin.
    Today, I took another big step forward-I built a firepit outside, added a rustic bench and table, installed a solar panel to charge lights, and crafted practical shelves inside. The abandoned bus has become a cozy and functional home, perfectly suited for life in the wilderness.
    A new life for an old bus, ready to shelter travelers and offer comfort deep in nature.

    I absolutely love what you do with the bus, I always can't wait for more. Maybe if you could do an underground secret dugout room under the bus for storage of survival food and items and maybe a single bed if you need to hide.

    Loved seeing your neighbors. That was amazing. Were they wild horses? I didn't see any fences. I love wat you've done with the old bus. It is turning out so well. I hope the kettle didn't get ruined when it fell into the fire. The painting is amazing whoever stopped there to rest. The tool/handle was a great idea. Have an awesome week and be safe.

      Thank you so much! Yes, they were wild horses - they often pass by freely. I’m glad you liked the bus project, it’s been a special journey. The kettle survived, luckily! And I agree - that old painting tells a story. Wishing you an awesome week too, and thanks again for your kind words!
