Kai (@the_ugly_truckling) has garnered over 858,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her experience of living in a truck in Canada.
She explained that her decision to build a quirky cabin on wheels was partly inspired by the spiraling cost of rent.
She said: “The rent is too damn high where I live.
“I live in the Pacific Northwest and anyone that lives here knows in the last couple of years with the price of inflation everything is just going to the sky.
“One-bedroom apartments are like 25 hundred bucks a month, it’s just crazy.
Kai said she developed an interest in off-grid living after watching the documentary Alone in the Wilderness.
“I’ve got the house truck parked up at this nice little meadow here.
She described it as an “apartment on wheels” as she gave a tour of the inside and explained that it’s cheaper than renting a place to stay.

“I’ve got a bunch of 12-volt lighting, a tiny little kitchenette area with a sink, and one burner cook stove.
“A bed and a bunch of storage space. It works fine for me.
The post racked up over 70,000 likes with commenters curious to know more about her experience of living in the woods.
Kai revealed that she has multiple sheds to store items such as firewood and tools.
