We appreciate all the hard work that is put into a video!! You deserve the success that is happening with your channel. You keep making videos, and I will keep watching.
Don't screw a hook in outside, but if you can put magnetic stuff on van, you can get magnet hooks and do a temporary thing when your camping( remove and store when done using)
Mathew , just got off so many you tube garbage all negative,,,, just came back to your channel for some semblence of normality God, thank you for normal people in this crazy world.
This is exactly why Matthew inspires people to try to be creative and do a lil something out of their comfort zones. So much TLC he puts in producing content from filming, music, editing and post-prod. So excited to be in this campground end of June for the Patreon Meet-up!!
My vote would be to not deface the van exterior with hooks but rather put the hooks on the table used to support the cook top, lets face it the only time that you will need the hooks is when the cook top is set up and being used...😀.
Hey Mathew, I use hooks with magnets on their bases to hang stuff from my van. Then when you are moving just stick them inside the door. Good ole Amazon has them.
🙀I got it! The solution to the new mic and loss of Penny's meows is to get her a companion mic, either one to wear on the collar or one placed on the dash. Hahahahaha!!!
When you install your new diesel fuel door, do it in the opposite direction, so it opens away from your driver-side door. That way, you won't smash it again.
Great idea Matthew! Feels so much more peaceful out at there. Probably would have taken you 20-some minutes to drive anywhere in town too. Those were some big snowflakes!
Carrots and Radishes are excellent pickled as well! You can do a quick pickle even in the van! A good mason jar and new lid, white or apple cider vinegar, salt & seasoning and boiling water. Let stand until room temp then put them in the fridge for at least 24hrs - Voila! Crunchy, peppery, YUM!!!
Aah Brinley gold shipwreck!..My favorite spiced rum!..Wait are you trying to sell me rum?..😂 Good day to you Mathew and penny and thanks for the longer videos!
The mic is ok, but I miss hearing Pennys mews. The soft snow fall makes me jealous. My eyes and brain love watching a soft snow fall, but these old bones say NAY!
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos! They literally make my day. Prayers for your back and hip pain to get under control. Kiss that big fat puddy cat for me!! ❤❤
🍀🌼🍀🌼🍀 What a smart idea for a home base and short commute! It's great (and a little strange - in a good way) to hear you talking from all over the place (and watering trees of course!!!) Good to see you happy.
An idea for the camp cook utensils Matthew......How about a tool belt like Tim Allen had in Home Improvement and just hang the utensils on the belt, Ta dah!!!😊
Well, this was truly a FANTASTIC journey and a very COOL adventure!🙌🎉. Staying at the campground is DEFINITELY a game changer ...LUV the footage!☺️. Thanks for the share, I smiled throughout ...hello to PRETTY Penny and Lil Brooklyn!👋. This venture has been exciting and BEAUTIFUL ...I totally ENJOYED it!👍🤗💖😇
I just wanted to tell you how much I really enjoyed this one. Seeing you so happy was really uplifting. I really needed the smiles (from you, and from me) since my dearest best friend, my dog Penny, passed away 12 days ago. So I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for showing me that I can still smile. All the loves to your own Penny. ❤
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful dog Penny. It's never easy losing our fur babies so be kind to yourself at this time and remember the fun times you had with her and how she enriched your life and how you gave her a good home, love and protection.💞
I HAVE A WHITE PEN...you can use it if you still need it in June...LOL. I have magnetic hooks and suction cup hooks for the outside of Jet Girl to hang stuff up...Do It!!! Have you thought about looking for Crownland to camp on? Save the campground fee! It actually perturbed me last weekend when I broke down and paid a campground fee...I pay enough in taxes🤣
Mmmmmmm....yes. 🔥Don't you love those computer fireplaces?!!🔥 My cats watch "cat TV" -- I put it on when I have to go work -- they watch the birds and squirrels as if they were real - love it!
@@preparingthebridefaithoutr6884 I do like that too, and have gotten into muffalata spread, it has pickeled carots, olives and Im attempting to make my own batch , its pretty pricy at the store .
Others probably already suggested. Why not magnet hooks so that they aren’t sticking out to grab you as you walk by 😊 then you can put them on the van where you need them when cooking or ? Outside.
I can always count on your videos to be a positive spot in my day and help me to get my head and heart right. You're awsome and I love seeing your channel grow.
Get magnetic hooks for the outside of your van so you don't have to drill into the body. They're also removable. Just be careful, you might get grease on Lucky. You could also use them on the metal table.
Just think of this.. you my have just caught the Last ❄️ Fall of the YEAR! 😅 And how beautiful it was, embrace the cold... here comes the HEAT!! 😂 THANK YOU ❣️❣️
Ahhh, the Canadian sport of deer dodging- you do it well 🦌🥰. Like others have said: magnetic hooks for your utensils. B is more adorable all the time. Love those big, beautiful, fluffy white flakes…but then…..🤦🏼♀️. Nice to see you so happy, Matthew, you deserve every second of it.🥰💞😘🏴☠️🍀
43:10 Hi Matthew, there is paint that you can spray on Lucky and use magnets to hang your utensils. Camp sight looks cozy as....well...home sweet home!
Hi Matthew. Love your Quality content. Nice to see you get quality time with Brooklyn as well. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos! Keep'em coming!
I am so happy you are out there camping, just what you needed. Nice to see it perked you up. Penny is enjoying as well. What about a magnet with a hook for hanging your utensils out there. That way you take it off when your ready to leave. Enjoy looks so nice even with the snow.
I've watched you and your channel for over a year now and I've commented and joined the lives ,asked questions and I apologize for not just saying thank you for you being just you. I really do appreciate it 🙏. And I love your voice. It is very calming to me. Also please give Brooklyn and Penny and your family big hugs and kisses for me. And I've not forgotten Amber. I miss her to. And I miss Stella too. THANK YOU AGAIN 🎉 !!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
You need a collar for Penny so you can attach the second mic 😂. Having a little "home base" I'm sure will be far better then Wally's, driving to see your daughter isn't any different then if you had to drive to work back and forth, some drive over an hour of commute. Still cheaper then sticks and bricks. Health wise nothing better then nature. Also gives you a bit more security for the home you leave behind.
I'm seconding (5th'ing, 20th'ing...) the emotion on buying magnetic hooks for the outside of Lucky and not making them permanent. Idk anything about brands, but I have seen other vlers use magnets to hold stuff on the walls when driving; so surely they would work when parked only.
@@z4u68 NO! (Knee jerk reaction.) Why not? Don't want to see "drama" - want to see him enjoying his current happy life filled with Brooklyn and Penny and family, adventures and smiles.
heya Mathew, As for myself, I think I prefer without the new mic - I enjoy heaing pennys meows as well, an with the new set up yea can't hear it.. also you switching to try it. Theres gotta be a way on it, that you can turn it to hear all the little noises, some like myself enjoy hearing that.. Anyways, I hope you have a funs, and safe travels always.. Blessed be..
Aloha, Matt… I enjoy your channel. It relaxes and entertains me. ❤QUESTION: If you leave Lucky at a camp and take Grace… wouldn’t you worry about Penny and about break-ins and theft?
If you are going to hang light weight things on the hooks - consider using magnetic hooks. Not sure where you would get them in Canada. We can get them here in Arizona at the Dollar Stores; Wal-Mart, and you might be able to get them from Canadian Tire - they seem to have everything. Good Luck.
I've often wondered if nomadic & semi-nomadic van / trailer / RV dwellers might take to primarily living outside of town. Doubly so if they get their own bit of land, use crown land, etc. Hope this works out for yah!
Hi Matt, enjoying the videos...and yes we do make comments to the TV some times when we see you doing things were, you struggle . I do see someone has suggested magnetic hooks....Princes auto sells some with good hooks and strong bases. Just put some tape on the underside to prevent scratching the paint. Good luck.
Woooooowww look at all that space without all the nasty white stuff! Actually seeing it in the video is so different than just picturing it in my head *remembers terrible 2 ft of snow...cringes*
im your moms and dads age... absolutely love your channel. 1 son in new york other in florida, you bring so much happiness as my Sons in America, im back in uk after 30 years.. you are same age as my eldest Son and personality very similar . love Penny and miss Stella as we had roger and lily for 15 years in America and England. 😍
You need a little electric heater when you have power. I have this tiny for under desk electric that’s quiet Honeywell HCE100BCD1 HeatBud® Personal Ceramic Heater
You should put a peg board on the inside over that window - then you can hang your stuff, it will be outside when the door is open and inside when its not. Then you won't have to put holes in the side of your van!
We appreciate all the hard work that is put into a video!! You deserve the success that is happening with your channel. You keep making videos, and I will keep watching.
Thank you! I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon so no worries there - I appreciate your kind words and your support 😊
Magnetic hooks!!
😊Don’t put holes on the outside of lucky for hooks. Do magnets! You can remove them when not needed….
Don't screw a hook in outside, but if you can put magnetic stuff on van, you can get magnet hooks and do a temporary thing when your camping( remove and store when done using)
heres a idea matthew on the hooks idea for side of van when in camp mode:: heavy duty magnet hooks same concept as your spice rack.
There are several on Amazon
Magnetic key hooks would work well for utensils. No damage to the van and could move them to wherever is convenient at the time. just a thought.
I was just about to say the same! Magnets! Great episode 👍
Yes, I concur! I was going to suggest the same.
Great Idea! Maybe Canadian Tire sells them? 🤔
"I'm home!" At that moment I could feel the joy in your heart Matthew!💞😊💞
Absolutely 💯
Yesss
Mathew , just got off so many you tube garbage all negative,,,, just came back to your channel for some semblence of normality God, thank you for normal people in this crazy world.
Thats confusing at best ...must b e speech to text screw up.
Ha ha, me too, I think thats the only reason I keep coming back.
I couldn't agree more. Most channels it's either some kind of drama or something negative. I love being where there is positivity and laughter.
I do exactly this too. A welcome break from all the B.S. and negativity. 😊
I know I’m not alone in saying that your skill and snow scenes are just pure magic. Thanks for sharing it with those of us who hardly ever get any.
So, I’m amending my comment from yesterday. The mic is 95% great. We need Penny’s squeaky meows!
Missing Penny's squeaky meows. 😢😊
I second (third?) the request...I NEED Penny's squeaky meows!
This is exactly why Matthew inspires people to try to be creative and do a lil something out of their comfort zones. So much TLC he puts in producing content from filming, music, editing and post-prod. So excited to be in this campground end of June for the Patreon Meet-up!!

Lovely snow.
You get to finally really enjoy Lucky 2.0 just as you should!
No pressure. Lots of fun things to do. Relax and enjoy!
I love watching the snow fall! I think that you made a great choice to find a campground near Calgary where you can really enjoy nature!
🙀I got it! The solution to the new mic and loss of Penny's meows is to get her a companion mic, either one to wear on the collar or one placed on the dash. Hahahahaha!!!

There are strong magnet hooks that are used to hang wreaths on metal that would work well to hang tools on Lucky
Loved this it’s just beautiful,really enjoyed it Matt.
At 43:15 Matt...think MAGNETS buddy...no fuss, no holes needed. 😁
The snow at the end looks so lovely. Through a camera lens. Lol.
If you think magnetic hooks or suction hooks on the side won't work because of the paint job, get some S hooks to hang from the awning rail.
Great idea!💯
Everyone misses Penny’s meow’s… 🥰
Hey Matthew and Penny. We love Matthew and Penny and Brooklyn and Lindsey and Mom and Dad....
Penny needs her own mic! Sure a good few people are also here for Penny's miaows. She is a star 😊
It would be great if he held the mic to her as if interviewing her 😄
I HAVE A WHITE PEN...you can use it if you still need it in June...LOL. I have magnetic hooks and suction cup hooks for the outside of Jet Girl to hang stuff up...Do It!!! Have you thought about looking for Crownland to camp on? Save the campground fee! It actually perturbed me last weekend when I broke down and paid a campground fee...I pay enough in taxes🤣
For exterior hooks....place magnets or magnetic hooks on the side of the van, command clear hooks would be easy to remove.
Looks very peaceful with the snow falling. I'd pop up a crackling fireplace on the TV, grab another drink, and drift off to sleep.
Mmmmmmm....yes. 🔥Don't you love those computer fireplaces?!!🔥
My cats watch "cat TV" -- I put it on when I have to go work -- they watch the birds and squirrels as if they were real - love it!
Radishes are very very good brined or pickeled. An easy small batch is 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup vinegar and 1/3 sugar. Out of this world delicious.
Also, pickled radishes and carrots are very YUMMY with tacos!😋
@@preparingthebridefaithoutr6884 I do like that too, and have gotten into muffalata spread, it has pickeled carots, olives and Im attempting to make my own batch , its pretty pricy at the store .
I just made 100oz of muffalata spread, It cost me 35 to make, already went through half of it, absolutely have to keep it on hand.
Others probably already suggested. Why not magnet hooks so that they aren’t sticking out to grab you as you walk by 😊 then you can put them on the van where you need them when cooking or ? Outside.
Magnetic hooks will stick to Lucky’s wall and hooks can be removed when not in camp mode

Matthew, this video was so lovely. The snow falling looks so magical. I hope it does not stack up too much for you. Thanks so much for your videos.
See if you can find suction cups with hooks, you could remove them when not using and not permanently attached
You're pretty good with your editing. I like those shots where you instantly have stuff done by snapping your fingers. Etc.
Get magnetic hooks for the outside of your van so you don't have to drill into the body. They're also removable. Just be careful, you might get grease on Lucky. You could also use them on the metal table.

Your smile brought a smile to my face sir! :-) Glad you are finding what works for you best. Cheers!
Magnetic hooks Mathew, love you and Penny ❤️
