Great tinkering video. The story of meeting Merry is cute, nice to make new friends in the desert. It makes me feel good to know that you are hanging out with good friends like Yellow Wolf, supporting each other. I love how you share Taco. 💚💛💜💛
Thanks for that tarp demo! I really need to know how to do that. I am looking forward to learning how to tie all of the knots that I am going to need while camping. Taco is a perfect supervisor. He seems pretty chill! So cool that your neighbor lady Merry stopped by and loved the story about how she found you online! Serendipity!
I was looking at your channel because it just popped up i guess it knows I like adventure shows anyway so I subscribe to your channel and have enjoyed watching you and your friend Taco cute dog.
Thanks for sharing your tinkering projects, Matty. I learn a lot from watching your TH-cam. I had seen Amanda’s video of you making her the same awning setup and then made one for myself. Thank you friend.
Hey. Matty and Taco...Taco Bell ....how's it going...the tarp is up and straight ...solar panel ...getting ready for adventures at Quartzsite....take care...... Deborah 🇨🇦
I started in 2016 with a 100 watt renogy suitcase style. Used it for about 3 or 4 years with a generator. I still have a generator but i never use it. I mounted my solar panels on the trailer so no matter where or when they're charging. Because I have them at some angle at the front i point my trailer south. I double check my parking at night when i open my door and look right for Polaris the north star
Also use the Tarp to catch water if and when it rains. I caught over 30 gallons once boondocking off hwy-50 in Nevada. It ranked up with best fishing or hunt.
Matty🙋🏻♀️🎄🎅🏼🌵✨ Seen any snakes, Scorpions, Desert Rats lately?…. Doing my best to get over all that😅and get to The Q… working my way to Ironwood 🤷🏻♀️ I learn all I can with videos such as this👍THANK YOU….
Great awning setup! Is the pole across the front like a tent pole, but thicker, where multiple sections insert into each other? Could you give a visual of how it connects on the side that doesn't stick it extra. I'm a visual learner and I've been thinking of doing this very thing. Thank you!
@MattyVanHalen you can. They’re not that difficult. I’ve seen you with Wynston and now Taco. Dogs love you and you love dogs. A dog would be lucky to have you as an owner and think of the great life you could give a dog in need of a home. ❤️
What did you use for your horizontal pole. I have a similar setup for my cargo trailer conversion. You mentioned a heavy duty tarp, I got a Core brand from Amazon. It is 20mil thick. An 8x10 was 30.00.
Hey Matty u don't hang out with Amanda anymore I never hardly hear u talk about her I thought u to were good friends I'm going to try to come out there in Arizona in December around Christmas time with me and my girlfriend we're doing van life together
Great job 👏. Good looking out and securing my panel 👍🏼

Taco is the good kind of boss. He gets out of the way and lets you get your work done! LOL

Love seeing how well taco is being cared for. So grateful Yellowolf adopted him. He's a very good boy. 😅😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
Warms my heart to see Taco doing so well! 😍
Hi Matty! Taco looks like such a kind and friendly dog. He deserves a cookie for all that supervising. Thanks for the vid.
Taco is the best supervisor, no micromanaging from Taco! He's a cutie!
Glad you had some good help putting up the tarp. You couldn’t have done it without Taco 😆✌🏻🇺🇸
Hi Matty, nice set up
Taco is a good helper
It’s great to see how well he is doing .
I’m surprised you don’t have a dog
You are so good with them
Hello, Matty! Hugs for Taco!
Marty, you're so nice a person 💕
Thank goodness Taco the supervisor was there to keep you on track.
Great job taco & matty! 😊

Fluffy says good job Matty 🐶
Good video Matty. You and Taco make it look so easy! 🌮🐾✌🏽

That was fast and looked easy!!
Good lesson on "tarping 101". Back when I camped in a van I tried a lot of different configurations 🤔
Hey. Matty and Taco...Taco Bell ....how's it going...the tarp is up and straight ...solar panel ...getting ready for adventures at Quartzsite....take care...... Deborah 🇨🇦
Hi Matty 👋 It was great
meeting you. Serendipity for sure! Safe travels and see you down the road. 😊
You too Merry. See you down the road!!
😂@Matty - Taco did a good job supervising😊
Thanks for the demo . I need to create some places to attatch a tarp to my cargo trl. No reason to buy an expensive awning
Good work!

Matty to the rescue...again!
Taco! This cold here in SW Ohio is making my arthritis in my left hip hurt big time.

Hi Bernea Hope to see you around here this season!
Thanks!
Wow thank you 🙏👍!!!
That's a nice setup.
Need double sided 15mil to be strong enough. Easy job with the tie ropes attached. Those panels need secured. Wind is treacherous out there.
Enjoyed, different shoes❤
We're sure glad you explained that we would never been able to put a tarp but without You explain All thatm
Actually, as a neophyte I am always happy to have someone show me a simple yet effective way to do something.
Ty for sharing ❤
Taco looks like a miniature Charley LOL
Great awning setup!

Hello 👋 hello 👋
Good to see you again
Thank you for showing us how to setup the tarp. I like your setup. Love to see how well Taco is doing...he is such a chill dog.
🦋
Great setup. You're my doppelganger. Doing the exact same thing..n we kinda look alike.
And my dog looks the same..
N you're a good thinker.
Keep on tinkering..yeeehaaa
Hey.😊
Hey Matty and Taco!! I think you need to get a little dog Matty. ❤
I would love one but I just don't feel like I could care for one properly 😭
@MattyVanHalen you can. They’re not that difficult. I’ve seen you with Wynston and now Taco. Dogs love you and you love dogs. A dog would be lucky to have you as an owner and think of the great life you could give a dog in need of a home. ❤️
What is the outdoor mat you're using?
I really can't remember where I got. It's just an old generic mat I've had forever lol
🌮🐶
Hi Matty
Hi Alan!!!
What kind of pole did you use for the horizontal support?
Just an old smaller tarp pole that I had already
What sort of wind will your tarp awning handle?
I usually take it down if the wind gets up to 20 mph
@MattyVanHalen Thanks!
