  1. 0:00Edwin lays out a porch connecting a rocky outcrop to the parked school bus camper's roof.
  2. 2:13The team repairs a displaced chain on the excavator's grapple saw.
  3. 4:04Brush clearing and dead cedar removal create space for a firebreak and burn piles.
  4. 9:21A chainsaw-mounted sawmill cuts flat edges onto logs for the roof beams.
  5. 13:20The crew hoists milled logs between the bus roof and posts on the rock.
  6. 17:41Edwin tests the timber walkway by stepping from the rock ledge onto the bus roof.

The school bus is parked beside a rocky outcrop, which Edwin turns into an opportunity: build a timber walkway from the rock straight onto the roof. Getting into camp is becoming a construction project of its own.

"Building a Bus Camper on My Mountain Off-Grid" follows Edwin and Ethan clearing brush, milling logs with a chainsaw-mounted Alaskan sawmill and hoisting the resulting beams into place. By the time Edwin steps from the ledge onto the bus roof, the mountain has supplied both the awkward terrain and some of the building materials. The excavator earns its keep, too, first needing a grapple-saw chain repair and later moving logs onto the evening bonfire.

The video includes a paid promotion for a portable power station, and the amount of product coverage is a recurring subject in the comments. Elsewhere, viewers offer practical ideas: repurpose the old engine compartment as a generator shed, add a stove heat shield or build parallel zip lines.

It was Grind Hard Plumbing Co's sole new upload, reaching roughly 640,000 views. It also carries the most daily momentum on the channel, while the month-old "Will my FAKE Quadski Float?" and "I 3D Printed an Audi R8 Pre-Runner" continue adding viewers behind it.

Channel-wide daily views are running well above their usual level, though the subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Among nearby building and DIY channels, The Lawn Tools had a particularly large week for views, while Simone Giertz's daily viewing was close to normal. For Grind Hard Plumbing Co, the week's work was unusually domestic: a better way onto a bus roof, built with the same heavy machinery that usually supports something much less house-like.

  • You know it would be awesome is if you turned the old engine compartment of the bus into a generator shed it's the perfect spot it has everything
