Ethan, you should put an AirTag on your keychain, so you can locate your keys when you lose them. Just a suggestion I figured out after having a similar situation happen.
Um, I wouldn't recommend that option. If your keys go down, anybody with the tracker app can find your keys too, as well as follow you. I wear a lanyard around my neck and have my keyring on a d-ring to easily clip and unclip. And one guy I knew kept a spare key inside a magnetic box that he attached to his frame underneath where he knew it would be. Just remember to take it off the frame of the truck before you have any service done because the serviceman might take it off and forget to tell you.
Ethan, you need to organize yourself better, specially essentials KEYS, think about a best way, Don’t share it
@@zereprd3911 Though someone else won't be able to track your AirTag, they can hear it if it's separated from you and moving, and they can see any contact information you choose to include if the finder uses NFC.
Also find a designated spot and always them there
@@zereprd3911I don’t think that is correct - the findmy app can’t track anything not linked to your account, unless it is marked as lost.
Watching u climb through that window was adorable af
The broken cabinet door... Shove two or three toothpicks or matchsticks into the screw hole, cut or break off any excess that sticks out so it's flush to the edge of the door, then drive the screw back in. The toothpicks or matchsticks pad out the hole and give the screw something to bite into and hold.
Yup this works well. Similar to what a rawl plug does in function.
Thats a great idea! Maybe look into adding a lil wood glue if it happens again… (Im not an expert ) 🤞🏻
@@christopher3492 Wood glue or even white glue would definitely add some strength if available, but assuming the minimum available materials to work with friction alone should make for a serviceable repair.
The tip of a wooden chopstick and some wood glue works well too.
You can also use electrical wire. Won't splinter or degrade.
I appreciate how you get out of the truck and take the time to set-up your camera, just to take the shot of you driving down the road, for literally about two seconds of added footage! LOL It amazes me just how incredibly resourceful you are and how you keep calm over stressful situations. You are wise above your age, and a joy to watch! Plus, the love you had shown in the past to Millie, and now Peaches truly warms my heart, you are a very special individual!
to stop being absent minded, decide you will stop being absent minded. Have a specific place to put your keys and put them key there as soon as you come in, before doing anything else, And have a way of getting inside in case of an emergency. Make extra keys for everything. Hide a key to get inside somewhere on the outside. Wear a key around your neck. Whatever you need to be better. You can improve and I bet you will. And lock your truck.
Bones on the trees. Door latches you out. Keys disappear. Car door mysteriously opens... Definitely a haunted or cursed location! I kept expecting that this would become the beginning of a found-footage-style horror film 😅
Ethan, replace all your incandescent bulbs with LEDs. With LEDs you can leave your lights on for days with no real drain on the battery.
Led great..except they are flickering. Dunno if subconsciously all get that? If u are autistic they exhaust your brain.
One thing I learned over the years is like you always have a spare set of keys, leave a window open so I can have an emergency way in and when I'm done with my keys always put them in the same place. I have a hook by the door. Good luck I hope the keys turn up. Give Peaches a hug for me pls.
I really RESPECT this guy. If you met him and didn't know anything about him, you would think he's a spoilt Californian type from the way he speaks. He's actually a very tough, self sufficient, enduring and resourceful person. Where is your other dog by the way?
^This. Ethan is far more rugged and skilled in things that his age and demeanor would lead you to believe, and he's getting more so every day. I want to know and see him in another 10 years.
@@beltrams What happened to his dog Millie is it?
I just wanna hug this guy. He's adorable
I love your subtle self deprecating humor. You are afraid of everything you do and yet you do it with abandon. go Ethan!❤
"Ethan and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day." I related to you so much in this video. That feeling in your stomach when you realized the hatch was locked 😰 One of my greatest fears is that Sammy (my blind cat) will accidentally lock the van when I'm outside as she's wandering around inside. And I cannot count how many times I've misplaced my keys, wasting so much time searching for them. Ugh. I try to be mindful of where I'm placing them but of course those times when you're distracted are the worst. So glad everything worked out for you. Hopefully Amazon delivered the new keys quickly. I'll be alone for Christmas too, but looking forward to a sweet, free campsite on BLM land myself. So nice 🌄 🏜️
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🦌 And Happy Birthday! 🥳🎁🎈🎂
I lost my keys yesterday. Found them in the parking lot and they had been run over but thankfully they worked. Stay in Lowes parking lots. Never been asked to leave. Quiet. They have the best free WIFI that works on the far side of parking lots. They are safer too. Walmart(cars go by all hours) and Home Depot WIFI you have to park up close.
Like the haircut! Loved how Peaches was having a grand old time playing when your were talking about your cab door being opened. She was a very happy girl!🎉
I've stuck an AirTag AND a Tile on my keys. I can't lose them now. Hope you have a blessed Christmas and here's to a peaceful 2024 for all of us.
On being not social---I worked in a large testing lab. One lab was separate from the others. It required someone who could work by themselves for 8 hours. Most people assigned there asked for immediate transfer. The lab ran 24 hours a day. Finally, they found three people who could handle the isolation. Three Scandinavians. A Larson, a Hanson, and a Johnson. I have this theory that the long winters produced people who could enjoy isolation. If you don't have blond hair, find another job inside the company.
Ethan, although you were alone for Christmas, I know that you made the best out of it. I wish you were closer to my location and could have visited for the holidays. Maybe one day I'll see you out somewhere and I can then meet one of my favorite TH-camrs. I wish you continued wellness and much happiness wherever you travel. By the way, I have a spare key on a lanyard that I put around my neck whenever I go outside because of how often I've been locked out. You might also consider placing a magnetic hide-a-key box or similar key storage device on your camper as part of your camp setup routine. Last but not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎉🎉🎉
He wasn’t alone. He’s with his boyfriend in all his videos!
Thank you, Ethan! I’m glad you got in your van and that you and Peaches are doing well! ❤
To choose to be alone, or at least not to be with hordes of people at Christmas (or any time) is just fine with us.
. My partner of 45 years and I are both sort of semi-RECLUSES... the fewer people in our lives the better we like it.
Hope you have a peaceful and safe season, Ethan.
PS - a question. How the heck to you do your laundry? Or do you just wear your clothes in the shower and run around to air dry?
Many folks use laundromats.
Truck stops have washing machines & showers. If I can find free h2o, say in a campground, I'll hand wash my clothes in an Earth-Pac bag. Hang dry on paracord string in my rig.👍
Most vehicles since the late 90's have a BCM (body control module) that automatically turns off things like exterior and interior lights after a certain time has elapsed. Try leaving a door open for ten minutes and see what happens.
Great video!
That was Big Foot in the middle of the night. He often likes to cuddle, but he apparently changed his mind and left, forgetting to shut the driver's door behind him.

Get some gorilla glue for your cabinet. When you put the screws in, put a little bit of gorilla glue on them and screw them in and then make sure that it's held in place for at least 24 hours and you will never have to do that again
Ethan, you should get someone to pressure wash your camper, it will look like new then and make everything look a lot better. You might want to put some more seal on your seals and places where water can get in. As long as you don't get water in the first place, it should be ok but if you don't put that seal stuff on it, water will get in and it will always have leaks. That stuff looks pretty dry and brittle so you want to reseal everything. If you do that you'll have that camper a long time! Best to you brother!
I learned a long time ago about having spare sets of keys and a hide a key on my vehicle. It’s too easy to get distracted and leave them somewhere
Merry Christmas to you and Peaches! It seems like you're having a lot of fun out there on your adventures 🎅🎄(hope you finally found your keys!)
Ethan, I hope you can make it to Jerome, Arizona. It is a historic mining town high on the mountain and not far from Lake Pleasant. The views are awesome and if you have the ability to drive up to the Jerome Grand Hotel (narrow road that requires campers to drive on the sidewalk) we will find a semi-level place for you to park and can provide you and Peaches with a room to fully clean up in. Just call the hotel and ask for Larry with ETA, etc. You can use the hotel UTV to explore as the camper is much too big for many roads. This is the slow season and best time to visit Jerome.
I'm not far from Lake Pleasant. I went to Jerome a few years ago and and it's like a trip back in time. There's a real good hamburger spot up there to.
I just so enjoy you and your travel logs. You amaze me. Do you ever get lonely (don’t misunderstand me lol) or are you a happy loner. You are so independent and nothing stops you. So impressed.
Great video as always Ethan. In this video I learnt that you’re resourceful in a crisis and not really a morning person 🤣. Merry Christmas Ethan 🌲. I hope you have a peaceful and wonderful time over the festive season ❤️
I can relate to this. I lose my keys several times a day 😂. Hope you got it all sorted.
Looks like Peaches has really settled into van life with you. Great video as always xx
I really can’t imagine someone who doesn’t like you and your videos.Happy Holidays for you and Peaches(I just can’t!!!).For next year,I wish you all the best you deserve,Ethan.Love from Brazil.
I learned that it's very good to have a spare key in an accessible location. Happy holidays!
Hi Ethan, sounds like you learned some valuable lessons this week. I am a follower of your channel and love it. Keep up the good work.. Also, I am boondocking in Az and think we are in the same area. Love this area for over Wintering.
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year ❤️
Merry Christmas, Ethan. Thanks for all the wonderful videos this year! You rock!
You are a very interesting person Ethan. Being with you, life would never be dull. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas❣
Good job Ethan, you do handle problems very well, at least that's the way it's filmed......let us know if the keys ever show up. Happy Holidays...
Love you, Ethan!!! Love your content as well!!!
Hey Ethan, just recently checked your channel out. You are awesome dude!!! Doing a great job with explaining your travels. I have always thought about doing that myself, but haven't yet. I noticed that you are very handy with a lot of stuff and know how to use your resources. I am the same way and very independent. You are also a very cute man with great personality. Maybe some day we could meet on your travels. NC here. BTW, maybe the keys were left on the roof or inside the roof door. Hopefully, someone didn't find them and then paid you a visit that night, lol. Stay safe. Jim
Hi Ethan. I just wanted to leave a short comment and let you know that I really enjoy watching your videos. I look forward to seeing many more. I love it that you are seeing some very cool places right here in the USA.
God Bless!!
Happy birthday Ethan! I second the suggestion of using an AirTag on your keys. Also, I have one on my dog’s collar. Would be great for Peaches. Keep up the great videos and Merry Christmas!
Hey Ethan! Great video. With all the content out there, sometimes it’s just satisfying to find a person like you, telling your life story day by day. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always entertaining!
Merry Christmas to you and Peaches!
-G
Oh Ethan your Admin is a nightmare you could do with an external key box on the outside of your van but you will forget the combination lol
I treat myself by watching your vids!! Happy holidays from Maryland, Ethan!!!
Happy Holidays, Ethan and Peaches! 🎄✌️💛
I am always in awe of your relentlessly calm and positive attitude.😊
You should have copies made of all your keys, and get a magnetic holder to hide, so you never have any problems
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And of course thanks for making these fun video's for us to watch!
Happy holidays to you and Peaches, Ethan. Safe travels!
Thank you for another great episode Ethan !
Merry Christmas Ethan. Thanks for sharing I'm going to make extra set of camper keys today to hide under my truck. Stay safe on your travels.
How do you just make a video going through your own life and just make someone feel, even just ever so slightly, better about theirs? I dunno. Some quality content creating or radiating aura...something. But thank you, I needed that. Merry Christmas Ethan, and Happy New Year! Thanks for being who you are.
I hope your key issues are resolved soon. Anyhow, have a twinkilicious Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I am glad you got back in your RV. I hope you find your keys.
Thanks Ethan..not good to lose keys..but these things happen sometimes..do stay well and happy. A very merry Christmas to you..stay safe and stressless. 17:41 Happy new year❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for a happy, healthy, prosperous, adventurous New Year! Keep your keys in your pocket on a tether connected to your belt loop. There are those reel-retracting things that will enable the reach and retract/roll up when your putting the keys away. By the way, congrats on another great video. It would be nice if in the next video you could show a bit of that amazingly beautiful landscape. Thank you.
Great stuff. Happy holidays to you and Peaches.
Hi Ethan and Peaches, Thank you for another practical adventure ! Yep losing your keys is maddening but perhaps consider a small karabiner to your pants belt loop or a magnetic safebox hidden outside your RV .
Thank you so much for being out in the wilds where circumstances stop me from going ,your content is always superb! Happy Christmas from our family to you Peaches looking forward to 2024 with you✌🏳️🌈🇬🇧
,
Merry Christmas Ethan! Hope you find your keys ... you need to start using routines ... put your keys, phone, etc the same place every time you are finished using. Stay safe and all the best for the New Year!😎
you've been doing a great job for years, I really enjoy your content. Keep it up.
Oh no! I did hope for a happy ending. Thank you for your videos - are used to travel that part of the country and it was such a privilege
You are a great problem solver. In my experience when I lose my keys, it’s because I changed my pants or jacket, and forgot it did that.
Safe Journey!
Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha!!!
A very Happy Holiday for you and peaches. Such a kind, intelligent and attractive guy you are. Totally enjoy your vids
Thanks for the video, Ethan! Be safe and have a very Merry Christmas! 🥂🎄🎅🏻
Did you check on top of your camper in case you had them up there? Love your channel Ethan. Merry Christmas!
Welcome to Phoenix. I hope you enjoyed the rain we’ve had the last couple days!
You are back! YAY. Missed you. Gorgeous countryside. Hugs to Peaches. My did took us camping in the southwest a few summers. My brother and I had a tiny orange pup tent. It sweated.
Be safe Ethan. Why not get a Magnet key case and place somewhere under the truck, as a spare to get into ur vehicle if needed... Take care.
Excellent view of you climbing in through the window! 😍😍
Your so amazing Ethan ❤ Merry Christmas!!!
Be safe and keep on having fun.
As always so fun to watch you and all you get up to.
It is very easy to set things down and forget where. That is not a good local to be in when floods arrive. Keep it safe bud.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too. Love your videos, if you ever make it to Idaho say hi.
As for your open truck door..it was the coyotes...they just wanted to use the radio for some relaxing music.😅
Hi Ethan and peaches, I have been following you from the beginning until sometime before you went out of country and now I'm following your adventures again which I totally enjoy and look forward to viewing each new one. I myself am going to travel such as you have beginning this spring I'm currently fixing my CRV with some new parts and then by spring I will be on the road. I appreciate your channel you have no idea how much it makes me feel happy. I hate that Millie left but for sure she knew she was totally loved by you and your followers. Happy New Year be safe and keep an eye to the sky. Love ya . Ira
Merry christmass and happy new years stay safe i hope you have a joyful time dispite beingaway from your family. You make great content love your ideas and info on rv camping.
Good morning Ethan!
Heading south for the winter, smart move.
We envy your adventuresome spirit... ❤
Enjoy the holidays, go for a New Year's eve date🌈🍾🥂in Phoenix...
Merry Christmas🎄
I wonder if you looked on the roof or on the floor of the truck. I lost a $20 bill once, and looked everywhere for it. When I sold the car I took it to the car wash to deep clean it and found the 20 inside the track of the seat. You never know. Great video, Have a safe and happy holiday with Peaches.
Don't worry, Ethan, if you ever come to the UK you can stay with me, no discount, no payment! I hardly watch anything on-line but I fiind yours endearing.
happy holidays, Ethan. Love you.🧡🧡🧡
How to fix your cabinet:
1. Remove Door
2. Drill 1/8" holes where screw holes are
3. Glue in 1/8" wood dowels so they are flush with the hinge surface, let dry
4. Position hinge over installation area, drill SMALLER pilot holes than screw size
5. Screw hinge back onto door.
I want to add my admiration and ability to figure out the many challenges you have been faced and handled.😅
Ouch! Hope you find them, brother!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Ethan and Peaches. Love you, hope you found them after the fact. It bugs me you didn’t check the roof or ladder when you climbed down.
Lovely video and glad you could get back in to your RV. Merry Christmas to you and Peaches! 🎄🎄
It’s All Good Things Happen! Merry Christmas Ethan🎄☃️🎄Wish You A Lovely Christmas 🎄
Cool vlog! Beautiful campsites. Good thing you didn’t lock yourself out permanently. Peaches is so cute
I keep thinking your keys are on top of your camper... Anyway, thanks for the adventure. Happy Holidays.
Great video Nathan always enjoy them ❤Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy New Year
I've got myself locked out often enough. Considering, your situation turned out to be one of the easier resolutions. 👍
Merry Christmas!
Ethan, when my RV I got one of those lockable containers that you hide with a set of keys. Not the cheap magnetic ones but one that you bolt to the frame, or someone under the truck. It has a combo on it. Never worry if you lock yourself out again because you have a backup outside
I enjoy your videos. Happy holidays.
You make my day every single day dear....LOVE YOUUUUU SO MUCH. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Be safe and find those keys😮😊❤
Happy Holidays Ethan! 🥰
Really hope you found/find your keys Ethan. And I hope the crab legs (or whatever you had for Christmas dinner) was good! I made chicken adobo and shared it with a friend. It was delicious (one thigh left) and made my kitchen smell great!
Happy Christmas Ethan. I lost my truck key once and two years later I found them deep under the back seat near the third row seats of SUV. How ever did the key get there I'll never know. Love ya Guy. Be safe.
I forgot to mention how funny it was when Peaches stole your show LOL !!!
😢😮 poor Ethan it is just one dilemma after another. All l could think of are the keys in your pants pocket but not the usual one you would put them in? Yet through it all you are calm, thinking of solutions and still ready to forge ahead. And dinner looked appetizing. You are a good cook. Hug to Peaches and a Happy New Year if you do not post next week. 😊❤🎉 Philip
