<\/p>\nA DIGITAL nomad who lives in a very unexpected place has revealed that her scenic views come with a price.<\/p>\n
Brig Malessa (@briggygee) revealed that she has to use an unconventional bathroom as her home sits on a 20-foot-tall timber frame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She has garnered over 167,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares what it\u2019s like to be a fire lookout for the federal government.<\/p>\n
She took to the social media platform to share a highly requested tour of where she lives.<\/p>\n
Brig said: \u201cIt\u2019s time for a full tour of the fire lookout.<\/p>\n
"From the information that I can find the cabin was constructed in 1936.<\/p>\n
"And the timber frame that it sits on, which is 20ft tall was constructed in 1955.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of the water is hauled in and it sits down here at the bottom of the steps in jugs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the top of the steps is a trap door that I can close.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brig showed several jugs of water on the ground outside before climbing the stairs to continue the tour inside the cabin.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n She revealed that her bathroom is just a small black bucket that is kept outside as the cabin has just one room.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cThere\u2019s an outhouse down the way but then I use a pee bucket when I\u2019m up here.\u201d<\/p>\n The nomad revealed that even electricity for her home differs from most other houses.\u00a0<\/p>\n She also has no WiFi but "pretty good" cell phone service. <\/p>\n Brigg continued: \u201cOut here on the catwalk are the batteries that are connected to the solar panel here.<\/p>\n \u201cThe cabin is 14ft by 14ft and has a catwalk all the way around the outside.<\/p>\n \u201cThe refrigerator and the stove are both operated by propane as are these cute little lamps.\u201d<\/p>\n Brig shared a selection of artwork that her followers had posted to her in memory of a mountain goat that would visit her previous home.<\/p>\n She admitted that she was touched by all of the handmade items that she had been gifted.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cIn here we have a Buddy the Mountain Goat shrine. Buddy is the mountain goat that hung around my fire look last year.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd here\u2019s the radio. I set it up on a cute little lightning stool because I have two.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s another video not too far back abought the lightning stools but here you can see part of the grounding system.<\/p>\n \u201cThe building is grounded so theoretically I don\u2019t need the lightning stool anymore but they\u2019re cute.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd we have the Osborne Firefinder. This one has a scope and then the binoculars which is the thing I use most.\u201d<\/p>\n Brig decorated a wall with photos of the fire lookout that were taken throughout her time living there as well as her own drawings.<\/p>\n She finished the tour by showing the space where she sleeps and encouraged people to follow her on TikTok for advice on how they can get a similar job.<\/p>\n The off-grid role requires general labor experience with duties including reporting smoke sightings and collecting data on fires.<\/p>\n Brig said: \u201cWe have a bed that has three drawers in it, where my clothes are.<\/p>\n \u201cThen this is where I stack all the books that I do not read.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m on duty from around 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week.\u201d<\/p>\n The video went viral with over 442,000 views, 44,000 likes, and hundreds of comments.<\/p>\n Many people were curious about how she copes with living alone and how she does her laundry.<\/p>\n Brig replied saying that she is allowed to have a pet and that she feels \u201csafest in the woods.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cOnly one person is employed but many fire lookouts bring a partner!\u201d<\/p>\n One person commented: \u201cIt\u2019s hard seeing other people living out your dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24346718-1696890695119.jpg\")
