You are doing so great with the organization now! I need to emulate you LOL. I get what you're saying about filming. You put out a lot of vlogs! It's healthy to have some time to just simply live-as a shutterbug myself, I know I often need to just be in the moment. That said--when you do feel like a camping vlog, I'm here for it. My life circs right now (solo caregiver for my husband, who's dying of Alzheimer's) prevent my being able to go camping. So I love watching you having a great time out there. Take care and many meows to you and Penny!
It is important for you to live in the moment, life passes by so quickly. I used to only see things threw my camera lens, as I wanted to capture everything for its beauto and to share with others as well because I have a disability and have low retention, used to live in fear of not remembering. Now I take less pictures and try to just live the moment as its meant to be. Have a beautiful weekend Matthew 🤗
Will you put a cute little curtain or something else to give Penny privacy while she does her business? I love the new Penny perch, where she can observe from above!!
Matthew, I am FAR too emotionally invested in these videos/episodes of your life...LOL. Your stream of consciousness ramblings always make me laugh. I applauded when the induction cooktop fit in the cabinet and was reminding you to watch your head when you were working on installing the light for Penny's Poop Apartment. As always a fabulous video. I'm glad you had such a relaxed first camping trip. And I applaud your decision to not film your other camping trips. Being fully present is important!
Hi Matthew and Penny! I love seeing life through your eyes. As a very busy Grandmother of a medically complex little 3 year old its nice to see you living your best life. I'd love to be able to live in my van that is half way built. It's been put on hold for the last 3 years due to my Granddaughter. I'm hoping I can start in the next year or two. I listen to your videos while working. I don't get to watch them much. If there is something I want to see that you were talking about then I go back in the video after I'm at my next stop. I work as a home care CNA . I drive about 100 miles a day. You are my copilot most days. I pause you while I help people and listen while driving. At least then I don't feel alone. Lol Enough about me. I love your videos that you're always talking. The others I try hard not to fast forward and skip the quiet times. Please keep creating awesome content. You're Amazing!
I found out (after the fact) that you can't use an induction cook top with a pacemaker due to the magnetic component to the cook top. It's what I was using in my RV when I got my pacemaker.
Bye, bye ...Dinosaur Provincial Park!👋. Hello ...wire's, fixes and organizing!😊. Home chores are never ending, for sure!☺️. A perfect circle in PRETTY Penny's world ... breakfast and dinner!🐱. Thanks for the LOOK into your day, Matthew ...take care and Blessings!👍🤗💖😇
Peaceful weekends are needed for sure...glad Lindsey and you can get that. And yes, you need to live more in the moment and less through the camera...but that is a difficult balance to find. But you'll find it 🤗
Back to the real world, hotel Walmart. Great video. My box van, Homer and I are using a prime spot, this summer, at my son's shop in Washington, to do some upgrades on my build. Great start, though, in a new and ever ongoing build! Love it!
Matt put something in those spice containers before you hang it on the wall to make sure the weight doesn’t knock them off there might stick up on there now cause they’re empty but if there’s something in them, the weight could change and knock them off when you shake them
3 things. 1 how’s the paint job you did holding up? 2 is the lucky 2.0 build working for you? I know there will be tweaks on her. 3. Is Penny liking the build? I know Brooklyn has got to love it! Your outta think about some luck lights and a security camera for Lucky and Grace! You stay safe, Stay warm, Keep flowing however you want to flow. A light in the shitter! Will it work?
Foresty Forest? Wow. It's a small world. You know of him? I follow him and subscribe to his channel. Just as you once mentioned Steve Wallis. Who I also follow and subscribe to. It was thru Steve I found your channel. Not too many Canadian van lifers on TH-cam. But you're all different and unique in your ways. I like these kinds of videos where it's just you and Penny. No one else. Just you doing things, being yourself, puttering around and talking to the camera. With Penny by your side. Btw, honey is great for cuts, scrapes, abrasions, works wonders for pimples (and cat scratches too). It has healing properties than work faster and better than any ointment. Keep up the good work on the videos.
Looked like a great weekend camping, aswell as the weather, but beside the wind lol. Hardly anybody there is extra nice 😊 That’s such a cool looking place! Lucky is looking better as time goes on! Cheers 🍻
I went ahead and bought a bag of popsicle sticks for cat food. Saved me from having specific spoon and cleaning it. One or two uses, cat licked it clean, and chuck it in the trash.
Such an easy socket to pull out. Why not just go to a wrecking yard and grab a few, then also make a list of things to look for at the same time. I used to love going to the wrecking yard. Adventure. Good exercise, and sometimes you see some really cool and/or disastrous vehicles
🖐 Hey *_MATTHEW_* , (gotta keep Mom happy ) No guarantee on china sourced items , but on Quality Made 12vdc items , look 🔎🧐🔬 at the surface of the black 2c wire. There's typically two tiny slits or grooves to ease "splitting" the 2 conductors ( sort of a figure-8 in cross section ) . _In_ _addition_ you MAY find • a white stripe • a 3rd groove ( rare ) 90°aside • a tiny raised"rib" or "ridge" at 90° from the "splitting" grooves. THAT CONDUCTOR should be the +12v . Sometimes you'll also find the +12v to be copper ( when examining the actual strands ) & the Neg. to be Aluminum or a slightly thinner gage , or even the inner strands AL with the outer layer copper. ( geez , THAT must save them a WHOLE PENNY per 1000' 🤦 ! ) Just another little tidbit , something to keep an eye out for when shopping ( if you spot that detail in an Online picture of a product , it may indicate a higher level of overall quality ) Glad to see it working 👍 ☘🍀just another LUCKY day🍀☘
Cat litterbox, Closer to you so you don't have to reach so far back to get it... That would be easier on your back. But the new build it looks great.I like it a lot.
About your renogy 50 amp... it is 50 amp but if it sees both solar and alternator it will split and limit each side to 25 amps.. if you want 50 amps on one source you will need to disconnect the other one
Maybe this could help with this and that stuff,I just camp in the summer but i hang a shoe bag on the back of my passenger seat for bug spray ,sunscreen ,baby wipes, clothes pegs this and that stuff just an idea.
Living each moment is so important but I do get it filming is a source of income but everyone benefits from breaks. We always wash our undercarriage to keep rust at bay. We do it even in the desert now. I drive a Jeep grand Cherokee my first car from the year 1993. We have several other Jeeps since her as our second car etc but for sure her engine is nothing they make these days. She has survived long colder climates. I think partly because we got the under carriage clean many times each winter.
Not sure why when I subscribed at least a year ago and found yesterday, was unsubribed???? Anyways love all your videos Matthew, still miss Stella, but love precious penny. .. love all your Family, especially your precious heart Brooklyn. and of course Amber...❤❤❤❤
Hey Matt, I was wondering what type of wood pellets do you use for the cat litter?, I have three cats and I live in a 27 foot trailer although I clean the cat box all the time it tracks. Maybe they sell the same kind here in Washington. Love your new van looks great.
Did you order some nice rims for the van and tires and lift it up a little bit? What do you think about that? I know you had talked about it lifting up
I’ve never done electrical, but did he just cut the wires to the cigarette lighter while they had power in them? Edit: never mind, he removed the fuse 😂 I didn’t know how to turn off power in a wire in a vehicle
You are doing so great with the organization now! I need to emulate you LOL.

Penny has you well-trained!
🤣
Very considerate of you to provide a night light for sweet Penny😻. How’s everyone doing today?
Matthew so glad you had a peaceful weekend with Lindsey. You definitely deserve it!
that's the most I've heard Penny talk in one go! She must have been super hungry :)....or hangry
The Divine Ms. P. Such a wee chatterbox, and so adorable.
Will you put a cute little curtain or something else to give Penny privacy while she does her business?
I love the new Penny perch, where she can observe from above!!
Matt and Penny are the coolest laid back van dwellers
Matthew. Or his Mum will get mad.
Loving all the changes in Lucky 2.0 Matthew ❤ So spacious inside. Glad that the changes are working well for u
Thanks Jacqueline!
Mountains, trees and water are my alternative trinity. Totally random comment but there you go.
Nature, the best thing ever. Nomads in the back country are so lucky.
Matthew, I am FAR too emotionally invested in these videos/episodes of your life...LOL. Your stream of consciousness ramblings always make me laugh. I applauded when the induction cooktop fit in the cabinet and was reminding you to watch your head when you were working on installing the light for Penny's Poop Apartment.

Love that penny has become more vocal..
love Pennys meoww 🤩❤❤
Good evening Matthew and Miss Penny. Enjoying your camping experiences and your Cousins sense of humour!
I love watching you organize 🍀! I am learning a lot about power, etc. sleep well and give Penny a scritch for me. ❤
You need to try to make a drawer for the induction cook top like Foresty forest.
Hi Matthew and Penny! I love seeing life through your eyes. As a very busy Grandmother of a medically complex little 3 year old its nice to see you living your best life.

Whew 🥱 I’m exhausted! I ducked five times today.
😳
JEEPS! I put ducks on five Jeeps 😖
Hi Matthew and Miss Penny 😄😄😄👋🐥🐈🚐🏕️🇨🇦
Matthew, I love your videos and look forward to seeing them all! Nice to see you "breaking" in Lucky 2.0. I really like your camping videos!
I found out (after the fact) that you can't use an induction cook top with a pacemaker due to the magnetic component to the cook top. It's what I was using in my RV when I got my pacemaker.
😨
I think Penny loves camping.
🍀FYI, use some Silicone spray on you’er door/hatch rubber seals. It restore the rebber seals, of course clean them first . lol
Hey Matthew and Penny and Lindsey
Thank you for another great video. Luv ya Penny!!!
Bro you are almost at 36K subs! Let's gooo! The ASMR part in the beginning was relaxing af!
I like watching Foresty Forest and Rocco!
@007nadineL He has a female friend, she's been on his channel.
Everything is falling into place.😊
Bye, bye ...Dinosaur Provincial Park!👋. Hello ...wire's, fixes and organizing!😊. Home chores are never ending, for sure!☺️. A perfect circle in PRETTY Penny's world ... breakfast and dinner!🐱. Thanks for the LOOK into your day, Matthew ...take care and Blessings!👍🤗💖😇
HONEY and toast ...YUMMY!😋👍🤗💖
That camping weekend looked so chill and fun. So cool having a comfortable fun camping buddy.
Peaceful weekends are needed for sure...glad Lindsey and you can get that. And yes, you need to live more in the moment and less through the camera...but that is a difficult balance to find. But you'll find it 🤗
Awesome 👌🏼 consistency is key
Ta da! Rather...ter der!......love it ! LOL😂
Hello Matthew and Penny! 😁😁
You always crack me up Great sense of humor 😂. Love the videos.
Back to the real world, hotel Walmart. Great video. My box van, Homer and I are using a prime spot, this summer, at my son's shop in Washington, to do some upgrades on my build. Great start, though, in a new and ever ongoing build! Love it!

The previous one had one too.
No question it will work out fine.

Sitting here thinking...Matt! Watch your noggin...that's an accident looking for a place to happen😂🤣
I love your videos. I feel like I am on adventure with you and your posse. Your videos make my day.❤
Hi Matt, Penny, Lucky Ray from Wisconsi, luv da vids!!
Hi Matthew
Hi Alan
I went ahead and bought a bag of popsicle sticks for cat food. Saved me from having specific spoon and cleaning it. One or two uses, cat licked it clean, and chuck it in the trash.
That’s a good idea!
Okay I’m tired now. I worked hard today and now just watched you busy bee and I’m 💩now. Ty 😂

All you have to do is clean the live contact at the bottom of the cigarette lighter and work fine
🖐 Hey *_MATTHEW_* ,
(gotta keep Mom happy )
No guarantee on china sourced
items , but on Quality Made 12vdc

There's typically two tiny slits or

_In_ _addition_ you MAY find
• a white stripe
• a 3rd groove ( rare ) 90°aside

THAT CONDUCTOR should be the

Sometimes you'll also find the +12v
to be copper ( when examining the

& the Neg. to be Aluminum or

Just another little tidbit , something to

Glad to see it working 👍
☘🍀just another LUCKY day🍀☘
Morning.....
From South Africa.
Cat litterbox, Closer to you so you don't have to reach so far back to get it... That would be easier on your back. But the new build it looks great.I like it a lot.
Nice electrical work, son.
Thanks mom
So happy to see that you made a high retreat for Penny.
Awesome vlog as always
👍👍
Awesome video as always 😊 every girl needs a night light to poop😅 Matthew if you need a second job you could be a handyman a man of many talents 😊😊
Best real life one you made.
Van is looking fantastic. Great job love getting ideas from your van upgrade.❤❤❤❤
Great video x x
I'm having the same issue with my 12 volt outlet. But I know where my multimeter is. 😂
MAYBE deck out the inside of PRETTY Penny's 'poop' house ...with some stickers!?🤔. Give her something to look at ...while she does her 'business'!😲😆😂🤭
LOL! ...heheheee!🤭
❤😊
Are you saying the VToman flash speed 1500 won’t power your eco flow fridge?
HOOOLAAA..😂😂❤ HY MY BOY...PENNY...LINDSEY...😅❤
💕
About your renogy 50 amp... it is 50 amp but if it sees both solar and alternator it will split and limit each side to 25 amps.. if you want 50 amps on one source you will need to disconnect the other one
Hi Matthew. Nice camp spot...looks like my neck of the woods. Don't you just love your solo stove. I have two a large and a small and they're awsome.
thanks..
Maybe buy a simple test light very useful checking for power and ground.
Awesome video
😀👋👍🍀
My spices are on the wall and have never fell off
Maybe this could help with this and that stuff,I just camp in the summer but i hang a shoe bag on the back of my passenger seat for bug spray ,sunscreen ,baby wipes, clothes pegs this and that stuff just an idea.

Living each moment is so important but I do get it filming is a source of income but everyone benefits from breaks.
We always wash our undercarriage to keep rust at bay. We do it even in the desert now. I drive a Jeep grand Cherokee my first car from the year 1993. We have several other Jeeps since her as our second car etc but for sure her engine is nothing they make these days. She has survived long colder climates. I think partly because we got the under carriage clean many times each winter.
And I used double tape to put up the metal roo
Seemed like alot more work than to just replace the lighter
atleast you can get at the first aid kit from inside of the van.
Instead of butt connectors should have just used spade connectors in the existing factory one so you or future owner can just replace the bad part.
P wants scatching post ....😊😊😊😊😊😊
Not sure why when I subscribed at least a year ago and found yesterday, was unsubribed???? Anyways love all your videos Matthew, still miss Stella, but love precious penny. .. love all your Family, especially your precious heart Brooklyn. and of course Amber...❤❤❤❤
I’ll miss all the camping trips and understand everyone just wants to enjoy the moment not on video. Can we at least have a couple short edited trips?
Where are you headed next Matt?
Night
Watch the cat van lady she has those all along her wall in her van
Just go buy a cheap 12v test light.
Hey Matt, I was wondering what type of wood pellets do you use for the cat litter?, I have three cats and I live in a 27 foot trailer although I clean the cat box all the time it tracks. Maybe they sell the same kind here in Washington. Love your new van looks great.
Any hard wood pellet brand works. Don’t spend an arm and a leg on wood pellets “specifically made for cat litter” that’s a wrap off.
@@VanlifePLUS thank you so much. This will be a start of a journey. I sure hope these cats adjust to being in a moving trailer.
😅
Okay, so fish, send fish. (no). Thanks Matthew.
Did you order some nice rims for the van and tires and lift it up a little bit? What do you think about that? I know you had talked about it lifting up
I have talked about it in the past yes, maybe something for the future. Quite expensive though so it’ll be a while
My ciggy lighter doesn't work either. Fuse not connected, wires not connected. My car is 24 years old. How old is Lucky?
Approx how much did you spend on wire? Omfg i did the calculations for the wire I need and holy sht is that expensive!
Ha ha, at least you know how to use it, I know how to find this bad ass meter, but then what ?
I’ve never done electrical, but did he just cut the wires to the cigarette lighter while they had power in them?
Edit: never mind, he removed the fuse 😂 I didn’t know how to turn off power in a wire in a vehicle
were you an electrician in a previous life
you are very hand some with your beard.
I'm sorry, did you just call Ms. Precious a "spootloaf"?
Dang, I got a lot of ads running today
