    Thank you for waving my book at the camera. 🙂
    After you told me about buying a copy I remembered I had inscribed and signed a copy for you, so posted it anyway.
    Enjoy !
    P.S. Kudos to the cat for getting you trained to fetch food. 🙂
    P.P.S just saw (heard) the bit about advanced settings. I take your point. I'll be playing with more bits of heater once the winter is over.
    I'm also thinking about porting aka smoothing the intake air path. There will eventually be either a 2nd edition or a book of tweaks.

    As a fellow rescuer for over 35 years believ me Penny is so happy in her home. The cats who are homeless wandering around worried about food and shelter and warmth would love to have the care and love that Penny has

      I had a dog growing up who hated water, she wouldn’t even play with the sprinkler. She was like that since she was a puppy. Never bothered us we just didn’t get water on her or anything. Then we had a cat and he loved car rides. He’d sit in the back window of the car and come for rides into town with us. Just sat there looking around. He ended up going missing so we think we got into a strangers car and wanted to travel. Just because what all animals doesn’t mean there isn’t going to be some of do things their own way. Like a cat who likes water, there are some out there for example. Penny is fine, she’s happy. She’s okay being in the van with her own company and that’s perfectly fine. SHe’s happy and that’s all that matters.

      @@youniqueboutique2134What do you think a closed house is? Nothing more then a big box. Penny is clearly happy and comfortable. Have you actually watched any of the vlogs? An unhappy cat stands out. She is happy enough and gets loads of attention and love. Stop judging what is different then your normal and LOOK at Penny. Where do you see the signs she is unhappy, stressed or not well taken care off?

    I love that you're a cat dad. If people are criticizing Penny's situation, they clearly aren't familiar with cats, especially as they get older. One of mine spent her last few years in the xame spot on my sofa, even tho she had a whole house to roam. They don't flippin' care!

    "Penny's a cat..." I about fell out! On a serious note, My heart broke for Amber in that moment. We've all been through those times where it seems like every thing that can go wrong, does. So glad Amber has people like you & Lindsey in her corner. It makes all the difference!

    Always remember, It’s not the quantity of time you spend with Brooklyn. It’s the quality of the time you spend…making memories is key….and in my opinion, the things you do with her & the time you do spend, she will remember for a very long time 🥰 Penny is fine and a very happy cat. I know my cat hates change and is a creature of habit… one little change in routine makes him very discombobulated 🥴…Penny is probably very appreciative of the Peace & Quiet when you go 😂😂😂 oh no Amber must be beside herself 😔….hope it gets sorted out soon.

    Cats spend their days at home when people are sticks and bricks.
    I’ve noticed that it’s been quite a while since Penny’s made a break for it. Lucky is full of familiar scents and is her territory and home base now. Cats are based in a sense of place. As you say, cats don’t run around in unfamiliar ground. It would be nice if she had a view out the window, but it’s necessary to hide her presence from prying eyes.

    Two things to comment on... first is, you mentioned you wanted to do winter camping but needed snow because without the snow you are just camping on cold dirt.(I think that was how it went)❄❄😊Now there is snow..yay!? the second is to the people who complain about Penny being left alone....most cats do not like even riding in a vehicle so to move her around from one that is warm, with plenty of space and with all the comforts of a traditional home to one where there would be no room and at that point would be safer in a cage makes no sense. I'm gone from my fur babies for up to 10hrs., 5 days a week, as long as there is food, water and clean litter, they are fine. At least Penny has a roof over her head, is cared for and most importantly very much loved.🐾🐾❤

    Having the Jeep will be nice on the camping trips, if you need to go anywhere Lucky can stay set up in house/camping mode while you drive the Jeep around. 🙂🙂😎😎

    Matt, my cat has a whole apartment of space and spends most of her time just following me around. she has no desire to go outside or even past the door mat outside my apartment door. Cats certainly let their owners know what they want, or don't want. Penny is absolutely content and comfortable in the van and you take good care of her. Ignore the Judgy Mcjudgers.

    You are dead on about Penny! Cats care for themselves better. Some great points you hit through the video. You need to make a Penny sticker! Stay safe Stay Warm! Love how Brooklyn says your sayings! Does mom? lol. I love it though she’s so cute!

    Lowered Expectations did a fairly informative video about Chinese Diesel Heaters on his channel the other day. The video was primarily about the Vevor brand of heaters, but I imagine a lot of the information applies to pretty much all of the knock-off heaters.

    Best Advertiser break ever! "I smoked cigarettes for 18 years knowing those were bad for me! Sooooo...." *1800 flowers commercial starts playing perfectly with the cut with upbeat music and a dude dancing* me: I guess Matt is just going to send his sciatic nerve flowers...

    I would not make a good youtube blogger for many reasons but one definately is I'd turn off the comments(if in fact you can do that) .. or I'd set it for positive feed back only(if in fact one can do that) I'm at a stage of life, 77 years of age and I have finally surrendered that nobody needs my input and I don't need much of THEIR input either--I like your content, I am amazed at your ability to go with the flow

    I am so glad I rarely have time to read the comments. Most likely, I'd be screaming at idiots all day.
    Love ya man. Keep being a good dad, it seems like you've got it figured out. ❤😊🥰
