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 nice to see Lindsey making a cameo 😊. Folks- never worry about Penny. She is the happiest, most spoiled, loved, and well taken care of cat. The filming of a vlog does not reflect the amount of time Matthew actually spends with Penny in Lucky. They have lots of time together 😻🧔🏻♂️. 🥰💞😘🍀🏴☠️
Penny is quite happy in her home. She has food, heat, air, a bed with a view, a bed with a Matthew, her own little loft, toys, scratch pad, catio....naysayers need to zip their lips. Cats are very independent and content to be alone. Hope Amber's battery issue gets or got solved.
"You wanna go boy" 😂 I'm dying. Love it, preach! Even I myself with cats, they are alone for 12 to 14 hours a day when I work, nobody bats an eye when I'm in an apartment, so the fact that you get to spend more time with her is awesome ❤ loved the video
Awww seeing Amber so upset broke my heart. I can't imagine how frustrated you must get, Amber. Hopefully everything worked out. Hope you had a good trip to BC, Matthew.
I’m so glad she has Lindsey for backup while Matthew is out of town. We all need backup from time to time. Just love when Amber, Brooklyn, and Lindsey make an appearance.😊
Penny lives a lovely life with her dad and Lucky. Being a cat owner myself, I can agree..she's probably glad that you are out in Grace and leaving her alone! LOL! just come back with kitty treats..it's all good!💕
Another thoroughly enjoyable vlog!!! I love that you never drop the ball, you always, always produce quality content!!!👏👏👏 Also Matthew, you're an amazing father, a great friend, and a wonderful cat owner, all in all you're a decent guy and I'm proud to call you my friend.😊
that intro shot of Penny behind the toy car is epic: her expression, the towering sense of her next to the tiny vehicle, the dark background...My heart went out to Amber. Glad you and Lindsay are there for her. I know she was decidedly there for you in her time of need.
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.
Hi Matt, I just love your time with Brooklyn. And by the way, you are a perfect kitty dad too. really enjoying this video. Oh look, here is the snow you wished for. 🙂 Amber is blessed to have you as her good friend. It is obvious how grateful she is. I just love you guys! Your cousin Lindsay is a love also!
Oh my goodness. Poor Amber. She does not need that added stress. Penny is adorable. She gives ZERO worries, and I love it when her glowing eyes indicate she's fully charged! I also love that Amber and Lyndsey are such good friends.
Nice vlog. Penny's living her best life. Pirate princess giving "adorable" per usual. Amber keep your head up. Congrats on the new place for Lindsey. Safe travels.
As a cat owner of 7 indoor cats and 1or 2 sometimes outside kitties. Penny is very happy with her life. Most Cats are not needy. I like your now videos matt.
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.
Penny is oh so happy; that should be obvious to anyone who watched your posts, but people will do as they do. Just ignore and move forward as you do now that you have addressed the ignorance! Really enjoy your content! Glad you are figuring out what works for driving and the leg pain!
Matt, you & Penny saved each other. She is content, safe & happy, I can see it in her face and how she reacts to your touch. Ignore those that just don't get it. Penny is truly blessed. And so are you (as you know 😉👍). Have a beautiful Thanksgiving with your daughter and family! 🥰💜
You are a million percent right Matthew with the penny point!!!! Ive had cats for years now and are totally independent and love to be in there own home
@@VanlifePLUS I feel yah, I am just thinking of quitting. Definitely hard lol love your channel buddy:) keep up the solid work! PS I am curious to see how u like ur Jeep this winter! I have a 2023 wrangler Sahara, the front windshield defroster is different lol ice chunks will form on your wiper blades. Only complaint I have so far
All these jokers worring about you neglecting Penny need to put all the worry towards Amber and support her!!!! I feel so bad for Amber as 1 person to another if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all😢 Amber I'm so sorry your going through this oh how I wish I could help you.❤ 🙏 Matthew you are sooooo caring all the way around❣️❣️
I tore ligaments in my ankle when I had a manual transmission and was delivering pizza for a living. I learned to shift without the clutch and it was surprisingly easy.
So adorable to see Brooklyn having fun. What a sweet little girl. I am also so happy that you protect your daughter from showing her face. Good job Dad!🙏
When I was a kid I met Rosie Grier and got his autograph and he wrote THINK BEFORE YOU ACT and still believe in that . People need ro Think before you act and speak
Penny is living her best life with you Matthew. She never looks stressed or unhappy. Some people just need to have an opinion. They probably have never had a cat either. Safe travels. I also feel so bad for Amber. The worst luck. Thank goodness for you and your friendship.
Hi hey just a suggestion if u r cooking fried eggs with a little oil then throw an ice cube in the pan with the eggs put a cover on pan the eggs will come out like poached try it they taste better also.
Glad you said what you said about those making comments about Penny. She is quite happy in her tiny home. She is not stressed out, in fact she is quite content. I sure hope Amber will be ok, hopefully it was only a hiccup. Have a safe trip to your family Matthew.
You tell em Matthew.. And you are soo right. I have had up to 6 cats at one time, and cats for the last 30 plus years. You are soo right. Penny is a lucky lil puddy tat.. LOL 😉😜
😂 at the beginning of the video I thought for sure you were mailing somebody sausage and eggs😂 oh and Penny looks quite content, in fact most cats seem rather happy with some alone time. And, like you said, the animal owner knows the animal better than any casual observer, you don’t need to explain yourself to the trolls.
Loved this vlog. I too have cats (2) that are with me in the van and I take them with me for work (long haul truck driver) and after spending weeks together suck in either the big truck or the van I’m more then grateful to get out and away from them for a few hours and it gives them a break from me.
I can't believe you had to bring up this topic, you have Penny's best interest hands down. You have always done right by your fur babies. This is so upsetting, people GET A LIFE! You rock as a dad and as a cat dad 💯 You and Brooklyn have the same humoristic laugh too cute 💞
I am right with you on why we have a cat. They do have their own personality but they do prefer their own territory wherever that maybe. So I say keep on doing what you are doing and give Penny her best life. 🐱🐱
When we worked long hours, we left our lovely cat, Lala, at home with her water dish for more than 12-14 hours… a day. And she was fine, she loved it. Plus she did sleep 20 hours a day as she got older.
Another EPIC ONE, Matthew!🙌 ...BEST way to start the day, BREAKFAST!🍳. Try sending stickers in the regular standard size envelopes ...it should/may be more cost effective next time!?🤔. Thank you for going into detail about SOME PEOPLE'S CAT'S ...as most are very independent and do dislike change!😾😹. COOL footage with Lil Brooklyn looking like a PIXEL character!👧👀. It's ALWAYS very touching when you help the 'lovely' Amber ...she is a good soul!☺️. It's WONDERFUL to see your doing sooooo well, continue to take care, stay safe & God bless you!👍🤗💖😇
If Amber still has her old charger You can charge a lithium battery with a chager that does not have a lithium setting as long as the battery has an internal BMS system it will regulate the charge.
You are a great dad, and cat dad! In the case of my elderly Shihtzu, she preferred to stay at home as well. Being blind, she knew where everything was here. Was too stressful for her to go anywhere away from here.
😂😂😂 Oh my that was hilarious. Are you serious that people made comments about Penny being left alone. Well you are right they apparently never owned a cat. That was hilarious. You definitely are so right about them being in a small cage at a shelter. Hopefully they will think twice before saying something like that again. 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for being you Matthew. ❤❤
Matt, my mom used to say, "walls have ears", meaning you-know-who is listening. Not only does Brooklyn repeat what you say, she can even finish your sentences. 😉
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.🐾🐾❤
I have 6 cat's, i generally do not take them out for a drive when i leave the house. 😂 the howling would drive me nuts. When i get home they are generally waiting by the door for me. It looks like penny is well taken care of.
I have a rescue cat,he hates to leave the house under any circumstances.I have an automatic feeder for Pete,I can leave for a couple days and he’s happy.
It's nice having a nimble vehicle to get around. Also, I imagine the gas mileage is better. I love the fact that you are active in your daughter's life. That is so important. My father passed away at 26 when I was 18 months old. I would like to know the kind of tires that are on Grace. I would like them on my truck. I live in the country, so I need extra traction. I hope you have safe travels and lots of fun.
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.
How cute little Brooklyn is when she repeats what Matt says. Good luck Amber (cickle, lol) , stay warm - sleeping bag rated at 20°F mummy style, feet pocket and hood works for me in this, so far brutal cold snaps this ❄️🥶 winter in NY. Happy holidays vanlifeplus peeps !🎉🎉🎉
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...
Matthew, EXCELLENT video as always! You sir are a Great dad, great cat dad and a Great friend. Your sunny attitude could melt all of Canada's snow! Xxxxxxo USA, New Jersey Safe and fun travels. Happy Thanksgiving🦃🦃🦃
I always love your longer videos brother..thank you for taking us along..people who lives in the brick n sticks they don’t take their cats in their cars or to work 🙄 🧐🤨 so every body (who is more ab noxious) just calm down. Stay safe and healthy always 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
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. ❤😊🥰 Kisses and hugs to Brooklyn and Penny.
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.
Hello :) Maybe you can help out with this question (a), I think Matthew forgot to add the link to the book, so could you write it down here ?
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

The plus is Penelope keeps the mice away from Matt's rig?😅
Penny’s being so vocal (and cute), I swear she’s saying, “close the door you crazy human, it’s snowing outside!” 😂

I know! She just seemed to need a hug and it was good to see her smiling again.
Oh my gosh, mine too!
I’m so glad she has Lindsey for backup while Matthew is out of town. We all need backup from time to time. Just love when Amber, Brooklyn, and Lindsey make an appearance.😊
Love you too when you do talk to Penny🤣😻😻
I love the relationships between you three!
Poor Amber and her bad luck! I'm so glad she has wonderful friends like you and Lindsay!

Oh cottage cheese and eggs I'd never seen that before. Interesting combination.

That cat is happier when you’re not there haha, she lives in the van and you’re just one of her maintenance guys lmao
Lol
Penny loves living in Lucky! Great vlog tonight Matthew!
Huggs to Amber. That's gotta be frustrating.
I tore ligaments in my ankle when I had a manual transmission and was delivering pizza for a living. I learned to shift without the clutch and it was surprisingly easy.

Glad to see that the little Grace on the dash is right side up this time! Also glad that you don’t show Brooklyn’s face anymore……
I have two bengal cats so I know what a happy cat looks like. Penny is very content in her tiny home.
Yes indeed we dont want a frozen ambercycle❤😂
Hi hey just a suggestion if u r cooking fried eggs with a little oil then throw an ice cube in the pan with the eggs put a cover on pan the eggs will come out like poached try it they taste better also.

Winter in Alberta is what ever weather you get when you get it and so on
I don’t mean to sound “flakey”, but “itsnow” joke out there, in Calgary…

Matthew, you're the most awesomest friend to Amber.
What would Penny say about all of the hoopla about her comfort? I know!
MEOW!!!
Loved this vlog.

I can't believe you had to bring up this topic, you have Penny's best interest hands down. You have always done right by your fur babies. This is so upsetting, people GET A LIFE!
You rock as a dad and as a cat dad 💯
You and Brooklyn have the same humoristic laugh too cute 💞

Hello PRETTY Penny, Amber & Lindsey!👋
Right, use index cards for the stickers like a protective sleeve inside the flat envelope
(Envelope-index card-stickers-index card-envelope)
If Amber still has her old charger You can charge a lithium battery with a chager that does not have a lithium setting as long as the battery has an internal BMS system it will regulate the charge.
You are a great dad, and cat dad! In the case of my elderly Shihtzu, she preferred to stay at home as well. Being blind, she knew where everything was here. Was too stressful for her to go anywhere away from here.
Oh man you made me giggle on the cat rant 😂😂
🤭
😂😂😂 Oh my that was hilarious. Are you serious that people made comments about Penny being left alone. Well you are right they apparently never owned a cat. That was hilarious.

You are so hilarious!!!! The Cat Chronicle ( LOL)
My wife refers to him as the funny van guy 🙂❤️
🤣🤣love saying poop in a group lol
Well said Matt. Penny definitely is very comfortable and happy in her van home. You're a good fur dad n people dad. Blessed travels
Hopefully Amber's power issues aren't too problematic! And yep, Penny is most definitely a cat. Looks perfectly happy and well cared for too. :)
I want a pan cake turner like that--the collapses.
LMAO!!!!! Love it...Penny is penny and she loves her digs
I have 6 cat's, i generally do not take them out for a drive when i leave the house. 😂 the howling would drive me nuts. When i get home they are generally waiting by the door for me.
It looks like penny is well taken care of.
Oh man, I want penny’s life. Lucky cat for sure!
I have a rescue cat,he hates to leave the house under any circumstances.I have an automatic feeder for Pete,I can leave for a couple days and he’s happy.
It's nice having a nimble vehicle to get around. Also, I imagine the gas mileage is better. I love the fact that you are active in your daughter's life. That is so important. My father passed away at 26 when I was 18 months old.
I would like to know the kind of tires that are on Grace. I would like them on my truck. I live in the country, so I need extra traction. I hope you have safe travels and lots of fun.
Grace came with Firestone Destinations
My Jeep has Bridgestone Dueller A/T and they've been great. One of the few things. I love my (not a real) Jeep.
Word of caution on the tires. While great in loose and deep snow, those AT tires are pretty bad in icy conditions.
@@gs98999 - They were not at all bad last year, but I hear you. a round of 4 Winter Tires are not in my budget right now.
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.
❤😂luv when penny gets very vocal😂❤
I agree, Troy ...it's DARLING!👍🤗💖🐱
Your the BEST Matt! Very funny, ENTERTAINING, and Wholesome! Keep 'em coming.... love ya!
Well hello!
Hello there!
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.
I'm in medical school all day and my cat Mittens is just fine left alone. I make sure he has food and water and that's it.
How cute little Brooklyn is when she repeats what Matt says. Good luck Amber (cickle, lol) , stay warm - sleeping bag rated at 20°F mummy style, feet pocket and hood works for me in this, so far brutal cold snaps this ❄️🥶 winter in NY. Happy holidays vanlifeplus peeps !🎉🎉🎉
I love it when she imitates her dad, especially tally freaking ho. It makes my day.
You are doing an awesome job raising penny...she's so well loved.❤
Brooklyn is so precious❤
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 think you are very good to penny she loves you and you love her and you are right cats love to be alone most of them does not like to ride at all
Penny has a great life❤❤❤
Matthew, EXCELLENT video as always!

I always love your longer videos brother..thank you for taking us along..people who lives in the brick n sticks they don’t take their cats in their cars or to work 🙄 🧐🤨 so every body (who is more ab noxious) just calm down.
Stay safe and healthy always

I grew up in Toowoomba, Qld Australia!
I bought all my girl's clothes from thrifty stores because they grow so fast. Saved a ton of money.
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. ❤😊🥰
Kisses and hugs to Brooklyn and Penny.
I definitely do not have it all figured out but I’m working on it
Penny, amber and Sadie. ? Your blessed
Not Sadie.. but I can't remember her name. Sadie is the little girl.. ohhhhh Lindsey
Nicely put 👌🐱😂 meow! xx
Breakfast of champions!
