My name is Matthew and I live in a van. I lost my job due to "cut backs" from the pandemic of 2020 and decided to seriously restructure my life. I am also a single dad who needed to find a solution that would allow me to remain in my daughter's life and plan for her future. After tons of research into #vanlife, I knew it was for me.
From March 2021 until October 2021 I spent my days building out my Chevrolet Express 2500, which came to be known as "Lucky" and as of October 18, 2021 I have been living in Lucky full time.
The build was done with almost no experience on my end and I used the one incredible tool I had at my disposal - the internet - to learn what I needed to build Lucky into a very comfortable tiny home.
I have always had a bit of a passion for being in front of the camera and really enjoy capturing the world around us. This really played into how I was feeling after almost a year of working from home when I "commuted" from the bedroom to the couch. I was starting to feel extremely unhealthy, unmotivated and despondent. I HATED that, and that's not a word I like to throw around. This new lifestyle gives me opportunities I just didn't have before and I am so excited to be able to share it all with you.
I truly believe we all have the capabilities to turn our lives around, should we choose to do so - and if I can inspire you to shoot for something better then I have done a decent job and that will keep me going.
There is more to life than the consume, consume, spend, spend lifestyle I feel we have all been conditioned to follow and I just want to do the best I can for myself first and foremost. Our time is limited and I do not want to waste another second on a lifestyle that doesn't bring me joy!
Be Happy, Be Creative, Be Yourself and BE POSITIVE!

Dad and I are sure proud of you. We just watched this video … we miss you but not that weather (no snow here yet). No more marshmallows in the Kurig cups! ❤
Thank you mom, enjoy the break of weather while it lasts! ❤️
Lol you’re funny! I wish you the best in your van life, looks like you’re doing well! Oops, posted this in ‘replies’ 😊

Thank you for recording van life in Canada, that's real life. Your mom commenting that she and your dad are proud of you, brought me to tears.💖
Thank you for watching Luminya, my family has been incredibly supportive through this journey. Stick around! They tend to pop up once in a while….
@@VanlifePLUS Love that you have 2 Cats 😺🐱 So they can keep each other company. And have as extra heaters :)
Yeah real life, especially when you got time to film.

your cats don't dash for the door when it's open..
that's amazing.
I'm posting on my Husbands' account. He passed away May 5th, 2019. With that being said, we were campers and cat lovers. My sister gifted me an electric blanket this summer 2022 and I use it daily, 24/7 on my bed. You want the kiddos to go into a coma comfort, gift yourself and the kids one. The cost I believe is less than 2 cents an hour on a medium setting. Game changer. I live in Sudbury and I get the cold winters and drafty windows. Would love to see more of your videos..Dagmara (and yes, no more marshmallows in your Kurig)
Trick for the wet shoes coming out of the snow...dollar store shower caps! Knock your feet outside, swing legs in and place a cap on each shoe...bonus tip: have your house shoes ready to slip on! Always did this with my ski boots, snow boots, and winter hikers...always nice to slip the feet into softies! BTW AWESOME SNOW SCENERY AT THE BEGINNING!!!
Shoe hack: I line my original boots box with a large plastic bag for when they're wet, and they don't take up more space in the wee van home or make a mess.
Omg, thank you for that tip. We live in our rv and that is the best idea yet!
Big guy is not going to do that... he has a water mat anyway
Carpet mat , works great absorbs the water and dries out ...
Great life hack! Ever since i was a kid i always used wal mart bags but your idea is alot easier. I cant believe nobody i know ever figured that out.
Pass me the popcorn. Here we go!!!
Planters kettle-cooked, butter cinnamon pecans for me :)))
A man who loves cats is a good man.
yup. 😺

@@rocketlaunch99 you're sick you son ?
Hah hah. My wife was a crazy cat lady before I met her (5 cats at her peak) and we have two cats presently (rescue) and love them both!
Yay!
I live in upstate NY. I gave up paying bloated rents for vanlife! I live in my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT! And I absolutely love it! I save a boatload of money, and travel now! I stay warm in it as it has climate control as well! Be safe My friend!🙏
How do you keep warm through the night in the van? I have the same van and I'm only using it for warm weather camping but I'd like to camp in some colder temps but can't figure out a safe way to stay warm overnight.
I'm in NJ and I agree 100%. Rent is sky high. They want at LEAST $1600-1700/month for a one bdrm apt. That's just ridiculous. I am almost ready to join van life. Only thing that has me hesitating is trying to figure out how to deal with the cold winters. I'm not sure how well solar panels would do here with those gray skies in the winter. I heard about climate control in those vehicles now but you have to keep it running all night?
Are you close to Plattsburgh? Good for you how do you keep warm?
@@ladycats3810 Hi! My van actually has climate control. I have remote start as well, so if it gets mad cold, I can just let the van warm up, and it shuts off by itself after 10 minutes! Technology is great!
@@FG-yl3oj Yes, my van has climate control. And also remote start, where I can lay in bed and start it. It runs 19-15 minutes until warm, then shuts off automatically! Technology is great! But, you can also get a me. Buddy propane heater. Just be careful with it and use a carbon monoxide detector if using propane!
I lived in a Class C for over 3 years as a travel RN. I spent the winters in Florida as the hospitals were packed with sick old people, then the summers in New England. Hospitals would hire for 13 week assignments and I traveled with the jobs following the good weather. The jobs paid for an apartment or my RV park rent. Even with those destinations I was uncomfortable. Too hot or too cold or too damp. Nice thing was it was three 12 hour shifts a week so I had time to explore. I saved up enough to buy a house. Now I'm old, so glad I own my home. I do have a high top van for play, but love getting home to my full size bathroom, washer/dryer, high speed internet. etc... Hauling in water and hauling out poop gets old.

I am doing this right now. I’m a CNA though and started doing local agency in north florida. Now a year and a half later I’m on my 2nd contract. This one in Massachusetts, living in my van 😮. It’s been great the past three months but I just, after much contemplation decided to extend my contract. It’s such a great set up for me and the pay is good enough to make it worth it. So I decided to stay. Now I’m in overdrive to research surviving winter in a van.
Anyways reading your comment made me so happy!!
Rain-x brand windshield washer fluid ( de-icer ) in a spray bottle works great at de-icing solar panels and icy windows
Hi Matt
You’re supposed to put the hot chocolate packet in the cup and just run it straight through with hot water into the cup of hot chocolate lol no need to put it in the reusable Keurig cup
I live with my uncle and he also owns an RV, that me and him go camping in all the time, and one thing that me and him BOTH agree on, is that a camping trip is not a camping trip unless you go camping in the snow, at least in our opinions.❤🤪

Best thing about cats : They Don't BARK !

@@fjb4932 best thing about dogs: they alert you and protect you against potential intruders
@@fjb4932I’d huck those nasty things out in the snow. They push out lil tootsie rolls that’ll clear a room. They track litter everywhere. They leave the grossest smells.
Love will keep you warmer , Nazi proved that during testing on Jews
Pets are great and allow others to stay in one place built heat also 😊
Yuck snow! How I survive a winter…hop a ship to the Caribbean !! On way south now lol
Glad you have extra diesel because there's talk of a diesel shortage... be safe out there.
I thank my lucky stars every day for my warm dry house in a tropical climate. You need a medal for living that way….👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Regarding the smell of diesel on hands: whenever I get ready to change oil in a vehicle, work with paint, or other projects, I apply hand lotion to my hands. Even with gloves, which sometimes get removed. Lotion fills the pores of skin to help wash off the offending materials.
Stay warm, Matthew.
Hi from France !!
I love my Esper gas heater . Set it at 16 at night 21 ish day . Last winter I used 3 tanks of gas all winter no driving. .
Snow like that in the UK would bring everything to a standstill, in Canada everything carries on as normal 👍
Life is the same if snows or gets super cold. Calgary had a lot snow!!!

Add some peppermint schnapps in that cocoa, for a nice skislope, that'll keep you warm.
I could never live in that much snow. I hate snow... in NYC it was 76 F... today. N we will be getting more warm weather. It's pretty but no no .. u get snow early ...
snow already!!!! im from Montreal and it was 20C today.
You being so visually excited to hang out with your daughter is the best thing ever. More daughters need an active dad that wants to hang out with them and stuff and it’s good to see you helping that.

My dad dissurted his wife(my mother) so I never had a dad. God bless you for caring and helping to raise your daughter.❤
Swiss Miss has a salted Carmel cocoa...
It's Gooood. I also use it as a creamer when I make coffee I use Nescafe expresso instant..and a half a pack of the cocoa, a tsp. of sugar and sip sip hooray...😎
Supposedly winter here in Norway too, but I saw a guy mowing his lawn today. Not a single night of frost, summer tires still on the car. Strange.
We are having a very mild fall in the states too, at least in the south. I'm sure we will be paying soon enough.
Was that way here up until October 31st. That's the day my flowers finally died.
Aparently this underwater volcano went boom and it was close enough to the surface to cause the water to vaporize. Sooo in other words Planet Earth got a Steam Bath😅🤦♀️
Grande Prairie Alberta has been around -20 C all week.
I’m up here in 🇨🇦 HudsonBay , Ontario/Manitoba area it’s been -27c .,with 45cm of fresh snow..no sun since last week..
Last few winters it’s been -52c for weeks ..
I’m a heavy equipment technician (aka Diesel mechanic) I run my very dependable Hummer during coldest temp and my Jeep when the temperatures rises to minus -30c..
always have Ski-Doos in case of emergency..
Cheers
In Finnmark I think October you change to winter deek ?
Great video Matthew. My husband says you have a great voice for doing things like voiceovers ... I am sure that was meant as a compliment... I told him you like what you do! Take care! Always enjoy watching your videos.
I agree 👍💯 with your husband. I just stumbled on him this evening.
I agree. I mean, I think he could actually make money as a voice actor. He's got a really great speaking voice--and if one can do accents as well, so much the better.
I agree!! His voice is amazing!!

I love your channel I'm 65 your neighbor in Northern Michigan. Love the snow. Living in a bit larger compartment. A 30ft sleeps 9 camper. But no water in winter or toilet So improvisation is crucial. Wish we would have a decent snowy winter.. again before I wake up on the wrong side of the grass as is said. Be safe. Blessings to you.
Oh my goodness! You are so funny. I've just found you and will be back.
Welcome to the channel Kay!
🌴😊😂🤣I was wondering the same thing...just make hot water🤣🤣🤣💚. Thanks for the laugh. I really need it.💙Be safe...
I have lived like this for 5 years in the US. I get it including weather conditions.
We were living in our Ford Transit upgraded to an class C RV. Living in luxury but will still need to stay warm living in Nebraska👍
Sticking around for this one. Starting my vanlife in a couple weeks in Wisconsin. So can use all the tips I can get.
Brrrrrrrrrrr. Get in touch with Raven in a Van I Am, she's in WI, too
All the best to you!
Look up VancityVanlife and TheCatLadyVan.
They're a couple of Canadians who know cold vanlife.
…..drive south,it’s warm.👀🇺🇸
@@saythankyou111 I wish. Did first test run last night. Was around 30 F and snowing. Heater on level 1 of 6 was way too warm. So that gives me hope later in winter when it’s negative temps
Hey Amber! 😎🍻👋
3 Keurigs later I can tell you even the pre-packaged hot chocolate and other instant powder beverages open the top pour in your cup and just brew water. Hot chocolate is the worst culprit to clogs the needles and after a while it kills the motor ☹️
Great video you can keep the snow at your end 😂
Much love 🤗🤗

One thing Matt, you don't seem to have time to get bored. Love the way Penny and Stella, just stare at you like they understand every word, then do what they want! Stay safe x
I talk to my cat like he knows every word I say. He drives me crazy when he gets in the way when im trying to get to the car.
I just watched this channel for the first time. I have to say, I hope the cats aren't left on their own every day all day in a small dark van :(
@@veestar9837 cats don't care ... dogs on the other hand .... ugh
how do you walk the dog in such harsh water?
@@veestar9837 During the divorce I was away from home for 2 weeks my cat was alone. It was that or me DOA GSW.
I hope the Walmart you stay at is close to your work now that it’s winter
@Jennifer I think it's about a 20 minute drive.
Enjoying your style😊 it’s refreshing. I about died when you scraped the ice off your solar panel. Did she survive . Then the hot chocolate 😅. BUT you figured it out.
I retired 2 mos ago. RN for 34yrs and Covid kicked my ass. DONE !
I am a novice nomad. Coldest night so was blue ridge mountains in NW Georgia 26 F. Majorly bundled up tights,thermals and pj pants. It was what called a 4 blanket night
But since you promoted 😮 that Weight blanket I am going to check one out.
Going to check out another of you vids and have some cookies and milk
Can I suggest looking in pet stores for cat caves, which are like cocoons that they can hide in. They would have a little shelter from the draft when the doors open.
you can make one from a cheap styrofoam cooler!
Cat caves sound awsome😍. And definitely a DIY option is going to be a fraction of the price😅.
shelter from the draft? wtf they are in a heated van ffs. My cats live outside year'round.
@@TB-sw1tf I meant for when he has to open the door when it’s -25 outside. Cats like to be warm, and those things also make them feel secure.
Definitely!
Put the hot chocolate mix in the mug and run hot water over it. Don't need the K cup.
Hello, Matthew!! I absolutely LOVE the close relationship you have with your Mom & Dad!!!
Hi Matt just found your channel,I am amazed at the fact you stay so cheerful in spite of all the show your a 🌟 couldn't help but laugh at your slant on things,love your two cats.

That episode with the instant hot cocoa in the k-cup made my morning!
The dog had gotten me up early on a chilly morning and opening the van door to maneuver her out let the remaining warmth out, so I was craving something hot to drink. However, by the time the episode ended, I was warmed by laughter. Thank you, Sir!!!
Weighted Blankets make you feel secure and cozy so enjoy😎👍☕🚐
Thanks Matt!
Stay Warm Matt ❄️ 👍🏻
Oh hell no ❄️🌨❄️🌨☃️🌬
You are incredibly entertaining!! I appreciate the birdseye view into every day life in a van....it's a nice change from watching the multiple overnight campers, who chase the snowstorms, cook their meals, and shovel snow. You come across as the real deal, and I appreciate watching your daily adventures. Thank you for sharing!!!🇺🇸
As a backup heating method, you could buy a Westinghouse electric blanket for about three or four hours of heat in your EB3A Bluetti. Probably safer than the diesel. Plus, if you buy some deicer and windshield wiper fluid from Rainx or Prestone, that could get rid of the ice on the solar panels. Kitty litter can absorb liquids for emergencies too. Best wishes to you this holiday season!
As an alternative: My wife uses an electric heating pad for a boost of warmth. After all, in a van, space is a premium. So is electricity. And cash.
if I wasn't able to build a survival shelter for my van.
I would at least hunker down,
out of the wind,
and make sure u remove any barrier between you and the van.
make skin-to-metal contact to keep warm,
and an emergency mylar survival blanket for the van
There are also batter powered jackets, shirts, socks and pants/leggings. They are spendy, but damn are they worth it.
@@MsBELLE7 2nd hand, all reports of electric socks are they drain batteries quick. As for roof solar, cover with plastic sheet when ice expected.
@@cliffontheroad interesting! A couple of my friends have the jacket and pant that heat up and they rave about them every winter. Granted they do short term camping in the mountains for skiing and such, so perhaps they don't have to worry as much about how quickly they battery runs out? Good to know though!
😊
Foothills of N.C. was 71°F....21.5 Celsius, here today. Monday gonna be 78° F...26.5 Celsius. Good gracious stay warm Matthew!!😬
I really enjoyed the “average day” aspect of this video. I’m glad you have ways to stay warm. Y’all Canadians know how to handle winter. Love to Penney and Stella!

A tip to keep warm air in your space; hang a thick sheet over the inside of your door. It will keep most of the warm/ cold air in. I don't heat my whole house all day, only the living room and I block it in with that method. Works great.
Hamilton Ontario, 9:30pm, outside 23.9c Inside our apartmant with balcony door open 26.2c. Watching Matthew, Penny and Stella freeze their bits off... You can't make this sh**t up!!!
Right!! I'm here in Kitchener, Ontario and we are having some amazing weather. It was a bit windy out there last night but what a lovely November day we had. I feel bad for Mathew having to deal with that damn snow already.
@@lifewithpugwinkle Crazy ass weather, then supposed to flip mid November..... but no climate change!! Fake news!! except for the flood, hurricane and fire victims... real for them.
You can just put the packet of cocoa in your cup and kuereg hot water into it. Just saying
Lol umm. Did you watch the whole video?
Like how you pulled out of that T&T parking lot and I recognized where you were right away

Being that I am on Social Security, and am not locked down to a job, I can snowbird during those winter months. I am from the New Jersey area, but in the winter, I can fly south with the birds and head to Florida. Next year I plan on being out on the west coast and in the mid west, so I will have to probably head to the desert in the winter next year. Stay warm!
Good for you! I am in NJ also. I am hoping and praying that this will be my last winter. I am not quite retirement age but I'm trying to escape the rat race nonetheless and chase the good weather all year round. Still have to make it thru this winter. Someday I can be just like you. ☀

Weighted blankets are very nice.
Hey Matt - I live in Calgary as well. Just a little help for you (I don't know if you already know this) - go to the Somerset train station and go to the park-n-ride, there are some spots with block heaters. The spots I saw with block heaters are the areas close to the Somerset community. They had it a few years back, not sure if they still have them there but it's worth checking. Good luck!

Put a clear plastic over your solar panels at night helps keep free of ice
Lots of ❤️ from India , Winter has also just arrived here.
The hot chocolate experiment, so funny!
Definitely got a nice setup for your mini home on wheels can tell you and those beautiful kitties are definitely comfortable and the fact you take care of them and think about them while you're in work stay safe to you and those beautiful kitties

You sound like a dad talking to his children 😅 i enjoy it
That weather is here in Regina now. Very windy and snowy. It had to happen. The kitties are living in luxury when you are at work.
I only follow 4 van/truck lifers, Nikki (fantastic National park hiker gal), Eva (traveling the whole Pan American Highway with a Shepard puppy), Ladi and Margaret building their 2nd master van in Europe and you Matt, urban van-lifer guy. I have noticed that one of the most important skills needed is scoping out your power needs every single day! And keeping on top of them. No messing around. That’s a BIG ONE!. More on that kind of thing will be interesting.
One project in your future, solar panels that can move to a 45° angle to catch all the rays, all the time!

It's generally not recommended to scrape ice off your solar panel as it will damage it, also don't use de-icer as it will also damage the panel.

Hot water bottles are a great way to help warm up or pre warm your bed. When I’m camping I always boil water in the am when I’m waiting on my coffee to brew and then I pour the hot water in a thermal carafe so I have hot water throughout the day to wash up with and fill my hot water bottle if needed in the evening
First time visiting your channel and enjoyed spending the day with you
Safe travels 🌞
Thruout the day? I thought they only kept it hot a couple hrs.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I have a stainless carafe that keeps it hot for day and next morning water will still be warm! It’s nice to be able to wash my face and hands right before bed with nice warm water

Lol made my day. Hot chocolate in the Keurig cup.
Yes brew the water first and add the chocolate mix to hot water in the mug. It does not work the same as making coffee. However you can make the coffee like usual then add the chocolate and make chocolate mocha coffee.

Penny is precious 😺❤
I just s started watching you today. I really enjoyed your video. I will keep up with you. Stay warm. It would be so much better if you could stand up in your van. Not being negative, you definitely have it down, it just looks so hard to Crawl around.
Welcome to the channel Cheryl! Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be able to move into a high top - I totally get what you are saying 😊
you shouldn't scrape your solar panels, just a heads up. There's a coating on them you will wear through
I’ve lived in Manitoba all my life born in Churchill, so I know the prairies is a true test
Aaaaaaannnd we’re back 🌬🌨❄️☃️
I have two of those diesel heaters in my van and driving through southern Canada in winter (-20 f) I’ve left them on while driving all the time and had no problem with them. Also for my larger heater(5kw) I decided to ditch the usual 10L tank use a 20L jerry can as the fuel tank for my heater, this way I have to refill half as much which is really nice.

Before you reached your workplace, there were 2 people walking on the street! I couldn’t believe it! Watching your video I just want to turn on my heat pad and crawl further into my blanket.
I love that you noticed that! From a filmmaking stand point I thought it turned out quite nicely with one on the left and the other on the right and showed just how determined some people are to get to work 😂 thank you for watching Jen!

Seeing this has given me a deeper appreciation for what you have to go through. Xx
Good informative vlog Matt. Stay warm!
I missed the live...phone down to 3%🤦 Hope you're having a wonderful weekend Matthew! Hugs for Penny and Stella🤗
I’m rewatching this video as you mentioned it in your live stream on Sept.30 2023!
The cocoa goes into the cup. The insert just tells the Keurig that there is something there, and just sends the hot water into the cup......lol
It’s not so cold here in London 14 degrees, but it is grey and raining a lot 😬. Great video again!
G’day from Australia,
Just read your comment and thought you might like to look at my set, camp locations and camp cook ups.
Hope you enjoy and travel safely
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Hey Matt and Stella and Penny.....✌️😺😻
Matt, buddy, no K cup needed for hot chocolate. Just put the powder in the coffee cup. It disolves like instant coffee. Just run the water through the machine with no or empty k cup. 👍 You got this big guy.
Another great video Matt. Thank you
When the bright on and showing your back something stay still, I was thought is a doll, fluffy doll till is moving. I was like "holly sh%* is a cat!"
I'm considering how to do this with my Jeep and a cargo trailer. Thanks for sharing.
I just came across your video and enjoyed your happy uplifting fun attitude. Stay safe. I look forward to more videos. 👍
