Some people will camp anywhere.

Sometimes I don’t know what to think about Steve Wallis. He comes off as a truly affable person and his videos, while not stunning in quality, are well past the amateur level… but the guy has built his whole YouTube success around his proclivity for camping in odd places and getting away with it. I don’t even care for camping in an RV at a KOA; I sure don’t have any ambition for sleeping in an unheated abandoned building in the Canadian winter.

The Cottage Fairy.

There are probably far more people who wish they could follow Paola Merrill’s lifestyle than can really pull it off. She lives out in the wilderness and shows us how to interact with nature, make your living space cozy, and seek out a peaceful pace of life. Her videos (engineered with exceptional quality by her brother) are both educational and visually impressive. Good stuff.

If you’re going to put your life on the air in the form of a reality TV show, why surrender final control to an A&E producer when you can tell your own story, produce your own product and upload it to YouTube? The titles here are a bit click-baitish but the videos are better than the titles. It’s not some outdoors Alaska survivalist thing – just an average American family making a living in Fairbanks.
