I have been following you young people like Outdoor Gear Review, Corporal's Corner, Hobo Shoestring and Joe and Zach Survival. You can pick up on a few things for when things come crashing down around our ears. You said you are not carpenter. Well you seem to do a hell ova lot better than I have dreamed of working in wood. My prayers are out to your loved ones.

I'll be keeping Barry in my prayers, and will also be praying for your peace of mind being so far from your family. My bed is high off the ground like yours is and I'm pretty short so I got one of those Rubbermaid plastic step stools from Walmart. It is still a bit high for me to climb into even with that, but I use it every night. I love my high bed.

Great Video as always Eric. A couple of Hints. A) Do not put in a chunk of 2x4 in the middle of the side of the Bed. (You'll learn why in a hurry the first time you get out of Bed.) Instead use the ideas of many others here and use Non Slip. B) Make it a double step in the Corner. Jax and you will thank yourself in the future. C) That is good news on your Brother. I know the feeling of hopelessness, I lost my Mother last year. She was in Massachusetts and I was in Florida. D) Reinforce the Plywood Bed Top. It will work out better in the long run. E) Save that Knife. Toss it in a drawer even though it didn't work so well on the thin flexible Plastic covering the Mattress. What it will work well on is the damned Space Age Plastic Packaging holding almost everything we buy these days. (It works better than Scissors.)

Eric I’m not a carpenter not even close but I’ve made some amazing things including 3 beds with pocket hole joinery like keg jig. I mainly build things with pine 1”X & 2’X material and once you’ve cut your boards it’s just a mater of using the right Kreg jig screws 1 1/4” course pan head for 1X and 2 1/2” pan head, course thread screws for 2X material. You should check out how to use it. Honestly you will be a pro in no time!! To build a rectangle box like for the bed you’re building would be so easy and super sturdy. Not that yours isn’t I guarantee you, you would use it on further projects! If you did get one? I would suggest the cheapest standard one Kreg makes. KZfaq some simple Kreg jig projects or KZfaq: Ana White or Shanty2Chic or 731woodworks. Your bed frame is going look nice when you’re done!GoodLuck Eric!

Hi, Eric, I am so glad your brother is going to be OK. I also lost my brother in May, and could not be with him at the end because of the restrictions. Very tough. I like the way your bed came out. I have a similar mattress, and it’s very comfortable. I would like to suggest though that you drill a bunch of small holes in the platform for air circulation. This type of mattress can actually get moldy on the bottom, particularly if you’re using any propane heat in your rig, which causes condensation. The leaves make great kindling. All the best, Eric.
