The best thing about a blizzard is when it’s dark in your headlights shining in the wind blowing against your windshield makes you feel like you’re in Star Wars
I just bought a raptor. So proud of myself, I’ve never owned anything close to this. Use to be homeless in 2018 so this is a big deal for me. Life is wild, don’t give up everyone. I don’t know what tomorrow holds but as of today I’m okay.
Oh I’m so Srry don’t give up if you want to get a lotta money make a bank acc and work and extra job if this helps I’m so Srry and Ik I may not no this stuff bc I’m a kid
Wind is now here in New England. Storm also coming up from the South I was told. Hoping they don't come together. Oddly enough it went from 14 to 40 over night, so too warm for snow. That happened days ago...now it's all rain. Was told winds could get up pretty high I'm up north towards Canada. I always have power outages but I'm prepared. Merry Christmas ya filthy animal! 😆
Gotta come to new york, drive through blizzards like this every year in upstate and see dudes still goin above 65 on the highway before all the plows come through
@@tazmuzta6974 in the uk the the speed limit is 70 but if your going under 90 your fine you won't be pulled over it's just the judgement of the drivers I guess
Pro tip from a Finnish driver: While in a storm, don't blow the hot air in your vehicle straight to your windshield. The temperature difference melts the snow and then freezes it. Just let it be cold all around the glass and the snow won't freeze on your windshield.
@@franciscodejames2416 If you bring in a bunch of snow with you or you are sweaty otherwise, yeah, it will fog up for briefly - but the fog also clears with cool air. Don't need hot to do it.
if your truck has ABS don't pump your brakes, that's the whole idea of the ABS and it can apply and release the brakes a lot faster than anyone's leg can. It pulsates the brake off and on so fast it sounds like somethings grinding.
You still can't steer when you hold the brakes even with abs. If you just hold your brakes while you slide you willl go in a straight line and not the way your steering. Just because you have abs doesn't mean you can just push you pedal down, hold it there, and expect to have a controlled stop everytime.
@@92clintonr That makes no sense whatsoever, ABS (Antilock Braking System) prevents a skid by keeping the wheels from locking up. Why the hell would you pump your brake when that is exactly what the ABS is doing itself in a much faster more efficient way??? Your quote "Just because you have abs doesn't mean you can just push you pedal down, hold it there, and expect to have a controlled stop" that's exactly what ABS is for, it takes that job away from the driver so they can simply hold the pedal down and focus on maintaining control of the vehicle.
@@MystikalDawn Where did I say pump your brakes? I said you can't hold them down. I live in Northern Canada working remote jobs farther north than you can imagine. I know how to drive when you're sliding. Your vehicle does not properly steer if you just hold the brakes and never let them go. It's ok though, I don't need to argue with you. I've sat in the passenger seat many times with people who drive with your mentality and watched them crash in an easily avoidable accident simply because they froze and just locked their brakes. Good day.
@@MystikalDawn If you're trying to panic stop in a straight line then yes, hit your brakes and let abs take over. If you're sliding in the snow or rain you will not properly steer while abs is active.
@@92clintonr As long as the vehicle is not spinning madly out of control to the point ABS can't help you then yes, ABS will allow you to steer in the snow or rain while braking when sliding, I'm a journeyman mechanic by trade, began working in the trade 10 years ago. I know exactly how ABS works and what it's for. Not only that we get that much snow and ice where I live here in Canada we put salt on the roads, so believe me I know exactly what ABS is and I know exactly how it does what it's supposed to do.

@@liampoor9699 Hey Liam, TY! we had a few freezing days & a little bit of snow (YAY!) Would have enjoyed it a hella lot more but we had no electricity for @ 56 hrs.

I like this kid. Decent young man; he just does things alone I prob wouldn't. But he's always in a good mood. And he's cute, so of course he has thousands of followers. Love, health and peace. And safety. And ample wealth.
I also notice how he virtually never swears. I have a filthy mouth and I'm an old woman, but this kid is naturally so clean cut. Great example to others. I love how in the beginning of this video a vehicle in front of him spins out and right away he shouts "DO YOU NEED HELP?" Good kid. Need more like him.
@@lunamaria9883 Northerners, especially those on the border of Canada are extremely polite people. Always saying thank you, Sorry or asking how your day is and they always try not to swear.
Can’t imagine anything being more stressful in those conditions (ie. black ice, slick roads, below freezing temps) other than a truck driver hauling delivered packages or job material wise… Kudos to you !!
I love your energy--you make me feel young again! And I am 72. That storm was amazing--never seemed to get that bad in Illinois. Your positive attitude of capability with clean and wondrous language so refreshing. Your hints to surviving in a cold storm was great. I might just adopt you! Keep singing!
Depends on the car, older cars don’t have ABS so pumping the brakes is what you do. Newer cars have ABS so it does the pumping for you, it’s actually less affective to pump them if you have ABS.
@@Stickyickygnar I’m a seasoned New Hampshire driver and I definitely agree with you. Pumping brakes during slick snow is the way to go, especially useful when going down steep hills. ABS kicks in after the fuck up.
When I was your age I’ve been doing the same thing, I loved it when it was cold and snowy like that. I have not lived in Minnesota for several years now in my mid-50s, I have some broken bones on now arthritis has set in. You remind me of what I once was. Continue to love it because in another 40 years things may change LOL
i can’t imagine how fun experience is this, you can travel all around the world with your house 😮! like imagine waking up in a car and cooking in a car and more everyday you don’t even need a house like that anymore 🤩 i wish i’m just like you, that’s incredible😳😳
Every time we got a good snow storm when I was much younger, my husband and I would jump in the car and take off for northern Michigan. Watching this video brought back such great memories.
I've been living in my vehicle for 5 years now. Started off with a Town & country moved to a Dodge sprinter then a Honda Odyssey and I am now in a Ford e-450 cube handicap bus that I converted. Took a while to get to what I really wanted. A lot of lessons along the way. Love seeing other people doing it.
I live up here and I couldn’t even see the house across the street! I’m 66 so I stayed in the house the whole time! Very glad the electricity did not go out so I could enjoy watching You Tube on TV , Christmas lights on, and good food to eat! “All’s good that ends well” 👍😄

@@paulcardone481 so they don't get kicked or run into. They are sensitive enough that you'll still work fine. At eye level, you can see the meter. It's all good!
The young man asked who does this? When my son was four and I was 25 I drove through blizzards, camped inside the car at night to find 6 feet of snow outside of the Datsun 510, which I shoveled away from the windows with a dustpan, and have never regretted the experience. Didn't have a propane heater in those days, so that looks like even more fun! Thanks for the Memories!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mav so animated. This was easily the greatest video I’ve seen. The time he was cooking on the tail gate was pretty live too tho.
Watching this during lunch break in my office ...brrrr .. 🥶🥶.. it's actually kind of humid outside my office 😝😝 Probably why i prefer watching about blizzard at this moment 😬
That’s a pretty sweet setup. I need to get something like that going. Recently took a road trip from Minneapolis to Las Vegas in my Bronco, came into Salt Lake City as a blizzard rolled in, had to pull in to the nearest town to sleep. Found a Walmart parking lot and hopped in my sleeping bag with all my blankets and tried not freezing to death on the bench seat.

Bro just something about this like, for years now since I was like 12, and now I’m almost 18. The aesthetic of staying warm in the back of the truck while it dumps snow, is just satisfying and cozy to me, I can’t wait to get my truck so I can do this
I use to drive semi in ND if I parked with nose into wind my engine temp would drop to about 110, couldn't keep warm. I would live in truck 30 days straight. Only shut off once a day to check oil and never on location always shut it off at truck stop in case it wouldn't start. Loved the job. I was making about 400 a day.
Storytime..... When I was 20 something, many years ago I spent a couple years commuting 2 hours to Nursing School, winter included. Being a Canadian you get familiar pretty quickly with the hazards of winter driving so I had the studded winter tires, AWD, and my trusty Emergency kit in the trunk with everything I might need if stranded...I felt safe, and prepared..,.. haha! One small inexpensive detail changed all of that one particular day exactly like this one. WINDSHIELD WIPERS Word of advice for winter drivers..It doesn't matter if you've got all the winter bells, and whistles if you cant see out of your windshield.... When you put your winter tires on every year make sure to upgrade those wipers or you'll spend more time stopping on a dangerous slippery highway to scrape ice off than you will driving!... Many people are killed each winter doing that very thing...
The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life.

Abs is a joke,for people who can’t drive.
@@daleolson3506 lmao boomer. Abs can pump each wheel's brakes individually 30+ times a second. Would love you to see you pump your brake pedal 5 times a second, and not be able to release each wheel individually to keep traction
ABS may feel like a joke until someone cuts you off going a 100 down the highway and you don’t have time to react let alone pump your brakes lol
@@daleolson3506 Congrats Dale, you win "Most ignorant comment, ever".
@@daleolson3506 I drive a truck with and without ABS..in a blizzard I would drive the one without..more control..I am in charge of the breaks ..definitely agree 👍🏻
4 years later.. and this will always be a classic. Every Christmas Eve I come back here
Me in cold: Whimpering and shivering.
This guy: 🤣
I feel like we’re inclined to pay you for that immaculate singing performance.
When you spend a lot of time by yourself you tend to talk to yourself a lot I’ve experienced it and and after a while people get more and more annoying I like your attitude you seem very humble much love from Torrance CA
Hell yeah a resident of Torrance! I’ve never seen one on RUclips.
I’m from Torrance
Same. Im a solo flyer. Lol
Yup, people get much more annoying the more time you spend alone. That was well said!
Sorry this is a really late reply but I totally agree! I’ve been spending lots of time alone and it’s almost like I learn to enjoy my own company more and more haha. Then I start to talk to myself even and have a conversation out loud
Me thinking he smokes 😫 then he says he doesn’t 😂😂😂 dammmmnnnn would’ve been a vibe to be high asl In the back with a blunt man 🤣🤣
IKKKK
I’m here complaining about how cold Houston is and I see this video and I gotta say I definitely give my respects to you and the folks living under those conditions. Stay safe brother
I came to Houston to AVOID the cold of NORTH TX! Lol
Houston Cold? huh I musta missed that day. If you think Houston is cold you better never go any further north lol
@@fairladykd6734 How do you feel now lol, Stay safe from a very warm Aussie!
@@liampoor9699 Hey Liam, TY! we had a few freezing days & a little bit of snow (YAY!) Would have enjoyed it a hella lot more but we had no electricity for @ 56 hrs. I woulda loved to have played in the snow then gone into my warm home and had a cup of hot chocolate. I still prefer colder temps. Summers here are BRUTAL! Heat, humidity, skeeters = YUCK! Stay inside with the a/c lol!
Im from Houston and anything below 40 is freezing to me 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
I like this kid. Decent young man; he just does things alone I prob wouldn't. But he's always in a good mood. And he's cute, so of course he has thousands of followers. Love, health and peace. And safety. And ample wealth.
Hello Self, just checking this video out and saw your post, I'm a TL also, 😆
@No Name Total Lunatic
I also notice how he virtually never swears. I have a filthy mouth and I'm an old woman, but this kid is naturally so clean cut. Great example to others. I love how in the beginning of this video a vehicle in front of him spins out and right away he shouts "DO YOU NEED HELP?" Good kid. Need more like him.
@@lunamaria9883 Northerners, especially those on the border of Canada are extremely polite people. Always saying thank you, Sorry or asking how your day is and they always try not to swear.
I love this kind of weather. Makes me feel alive, I go for a walk or go out in the yard. Im from the deep Canadian North .I grew up with it.
Can’t imagine anything being more stressful in those conditions (ie. black ice, slick roads, below freezing temps) other than a truck driver hauling delivered packages or job material wise… Kudos to you !!
As a Floridian I sure love watching your winter videos while not experiencing it for myself lol
this is me right now, i’m so fascinated by all the snow
As a viewer from India, I wholeheartedly agree!
@@abhishekkulkarni9120 same
must be nice this stuffs around 8 months a year for me
Same from ph.
7:02 exactly why I watch this funny guy 🤣🤣
Watching this while I'm in my bed, and raining outside what a cozy vibe. 🔥❤️
Haha I saw the trees and houses and instantly knew it was Minnesota. ❤
I love your energy--you make me feel young again! And I am 72. That storm was amazing--never seemed to get that bad in Illinois. Your positive attitude of capability with clean and wondrous language so refreshing. Your hints to surviving in a cold storm was great. I might just adopt you! Keep singing!
Depends on the car, older cars don’t have ABS so pumping the brakes is what you do. Newer cars have ABS so it does the pumping for you, it’s actually less affective to pump them if you have ABS.
yeah, i was just about to comment this.
thank you- was going to make the same comment..you were the first one I read..
No. You pump before you slide. ABS is for when you already fucked up
@@Stickyickygnar I’m a seasoned New Hampshire driver and I definitely agree with you. Pumping brakes during slick snow is the way to go, especially useful when going down steep hills. ABS kicks in after the fuck up.
@@elmosweed4985 z
When I was your age I’ve been doing the same thing, I loved it when it was cold and snowy like that. I have not lived in Minnesota for several years now in my mid-50s, I have some broken bones on now arthritis has set in. You remind me of what I once was. Continue to love it because in another 40 years things may change LOL
Damn sad day I’m 19 and already have had multiple surgeries and bad arthritis in both hands
i can’t imagine how fun experience is this, you can travel all around the world with your house 😮! like imagine waking up in a car and cooking in a car and more everyday you don’t even need a house like that anymore 🤩 i wish i’m just like you, that’s incredible😳😳
It’s definitely fun
Every time we got a good snow storm when I was much younger, my husband and I would jump in the car and take off for northern Michigan. Watching this video brought back such great memories.
I've been living in my vehicle for 5 years now. Started off with a Town & country moved to a Dodge sprinter then a Honda Odyssey and I am now in a Ford e-450 cube handicap bus that I converted. Took a while to get to what I really wanted. A lot of lessons along the way. Love seeing other people doing it.
What is it about watching someone camping in a blizzard that is so comforting and relaxing??? Good video buddy!
Thx Mac for talking!! To many don't so visually impaired people don't really get what's going on!! Love you!
Was thinking of the Key and Peele Black Ice sketch right before he goes “must be some black ice” lmao
You’re getting way better and more comfortable in the camera. Keep being yourself Mav. I love it
9:04 is like a commercial -- the best of "A Very Mavvy Christmas -- holiday favorites sung by the legend himself"
A Very Mavy Christmas
So Cozy ✨😆💕 the Christmas medley was the part 😆✨🙌🏽
08:12 Put carbon monoxide detectors near the floor. Carbon monoxide fills up an area from the bottom up.
This was one of those videos that I did not want to end! I would have watched it to the end if it was hours long! Thanks for sharing!
I live up here and I couldn’t even see the house across the street! I’m 66 so I stayed in the house the whole time! Very glad the electricity did not go out so I could enjoy watching You Tube on TV , Christmas lights on, and good food to eat! “All’s good that ends well” 👍😄
❤❤Scenes from Algeria 🇩🇿With everything in America, its nature, its streets, its cities, its cars, and its people Everything is wonderful. I hope to visit it ❤❤❤
Mav, you made my Christmas a little brighter, thank you. Merry Christmas to all!
NEVER drink from a container in Mav’s truck without checking with him first. #mav #pee
Now, this, is content.
8:00 that was dirty! lol well played 👌
"Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!" I was not expecting that!XD
Lol
Home alone quote
These types of videos are very relaxing. Also makes you appreciate things a lot more.
He's so knowledgeable and adorable. I'd love to go on a road trip with him 😭
Can actually tell this kid was raised right. He’s very courteous & polite w other ppl inhabiting the earth w him.
Such a nice young man! Your parents raised you right!! Love the Christmas lights on the truck!!
Mav , the co2 detector needs to be at the lowest spot in the back of your sleeping area.
If it goes off where its currently Installed , you will already be dead and not hear the alarm going off. Please look it up/research it.
Merry Christmas Bro
I understand your point and yeah it should probably be placed lower but the alarm goes off way way before the levels reach death levels
That's probably true , but I ain't taking any chances.....its not worth it 😃👍
Yeah carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen
Why do we place them on walls and ceilings instead of floors?
@@paulcardone481 so they don't get kicked or run into. They are sensitive enough that you'll still work fine. At eye level, you can see the meter. It's all good!
The young man asked who does this? When my son was four and I was 25 I drove through blizzards, camped inside the car at night to find 6 feet of snow outside of the Datsun 510, which I shoveled away from the windows with a dustpan, and have never regretted the experience. Didn't have a propane heater in those days, so that looks like even more fun! Thanks for the Memories!
Theres nothing like that first big snowstorm!!! It really gets u fizzled up!!!! I love it!!! Ko'2s are the shits!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mav so animated.
This was easily the greatest video I’ve seen.
The time he was cooking on the tail gate was pretty live too tho.
00:22 lol what a classic line your energy and sense of humor is hilarious love these vids much love and support from oakland california
I love how his videos aren't long, dragging, and boring. But interesting, to the point and short. 👍 Plus he's cute.
Watching this during lunch break in my office ...brrrr .. 🥶🥶.. it's actually kind of humid outside my office 😝😝
Probably why i prefer watching about blizzard at this moment 😬
That’s a pretty sweet setup. I need to get something like that going. Recently took a road trip from Minneapolis to Las Vegas in my Bronco, came into Salt Lake City as a blizzard rolled in, had to pull in to the nearest town to sleep. Found a Walmart parking lot and hopped in my sleeping bag with all my blankets and tried not freezing to death on the bench seat.
you know this guy is from Minnesota when he can tank a blizzard without any gloves on
Who else is this early? Always so Excited to watch! Merry Christmas Everyone!
Edit: Enjoyed every second of the video!
I'm ealry, also merry christmas to you mate!
Merry x más
I'm not early but thanks for the Merry Christmas!
8:56 - this is where the fun starts. I love your singing :)
Nice to hear of a young person who doesn't smoke or drink.
Drinking rates are going down each generation tho
Rewatching this again for this years holiday season. Thanks for always inspiring me to get out there
When he rode past the cop car and saying, "must be some black ice there" I first heard, must be some black guys there. Lol
…..
Drinking out the sink water I remember when I use to do that I really started to appreciate everything, good rough times
People from out of state: that looks like hell
Minnesotans: I better start my car in my pajamas so my car will be nice and warm 20 minutes from now when I go to work
and THAT is how you utterly kill any car made after 1990. GOOD JOB!
@@thetreeofwoe2304 all of my cars are 89s so
@@thetreeofwoe2304 are you serious? your saying what? to cold start the car in 25- and just go?
Watching this from sunny Australia! Merry Christmas everyone!
You’re welcome to it. I detect the heat
Yes merry xmas
I mean detest
Fuck you! :P here in Norway we have 70cm of snow! and -12 outside.
@@gamingdelux0078 then move that head
Merry Christmas. May God bless everyone today
God ain't blessing shit. Lol
@@CannibalOX99 not if you speak of him this way. Be careful, for when you die he will ask why he should let you in.
@@JoshuaThomasVideos lol you know how many people speak of "him" that praise him yet live in poverty, in the streets, broke with no shelter, cancer etc.? I'm not worried about getting into some fantasy land homie
@@CannibalOX99 ask anyone you know in poverty if they believe in God. Speak for yourself, you have more than you need. God is real, and one day you will know this to be true.
I've never missed a day of work because of the weather. This is home to me. Can't wait for the next big storm! Lock er in 4x4 and get!!!
Some of the greatest singing I’ve ever heard on RUclips. Thank you Mav 😭
Right I'm late watching this video but that part had me dying
When you finished asking the lady if she needed help, i was thrown into deep thought.. People are not even remotely that neighborly in illinois 😬
Great video man!!!
Bro just something about this like, for years now since I was like 12, and now I’m almost 18. The aesthetic of staying warm in the back of the truck while it dumps snow, is just satisfying and cozy to me, I can’t wait to get my truck so I can do this
This young man has a good heart ❤️ To slow down and ask a lady if she needed help was nice.
Dude, yes!!! I have always wanted to do this. TAKE ME WITH!!!😁
Next time park your truck nose into the wind then you won’t get snow coming in the back
looked like the wind was just a bit unpredictable
Thank you from Tucson AZ 71 today. True we have many deaths when it is over 110.
Get a winter front so the truck can maintain temp during idle.
Unpredictable wind direction so.......
I use to drive semi in ND if I parked with nose into wind my engine temp would drop to about 110, couldn't keep warm. I would live in truck 30 days straight. Only shut off once a day to check oil and never on location always shut it off at truck stop in case it wouldn't start. Loved the job. I was making about 400 a day.
Helped me fall asleep. 10/10 video
Storytime.....
When I was 20 something, many years ago I spent a couple years commuting 2 hours to Nursing School, winter included. Being a Canadian you get familiar pretty quickly with the hazards of winter driving so I had the studded winter tires, AWD, and my trusty Emergency kit in the trunk with everything I might need if stranded...I felt safe, and prepared..,.. haha! One small inexpensive detail changed all of that one particular day exactly like this one. WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Word of advice for winter drivers..It doesn't matter if you've got all the winter bells, and whistles if you cant see out of your windshield.... When you put your winter tires on every year make sure to upgrade those wipers or you'll spend more time stopping on a dangerous slippery highway to scrape ice off than you will driving!... Many people are killed each winter doing that very thing...
The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life.
@@poweroftruth9258 bro that h nothing to do with the comment
Watching this in the summer, sure, makes sense
As a fellow minnesotan I can verify that we do drive around with the window open during a snowstorm.
Well you gotta smoke!
Minnesotans are the right kind of crazy! Lived in Minnesota for 6 years and North Dakota for 20.
The freedom in this video.. ❤ I always wanna do this. My family comes first tho. This video keeps me entertained.
Literally live in the town that you filmed this in. Absolutely crazy!
11:14 " I don't smoke or drink, if you do, feel free to do whatever you want"
fucking LOVE this guy
Don't care if people drink. I just care if people smoke because everyone has to smell their putrid smoke.
Don’t pump your brakes when you have ABS
You are right about that.
Exactly
Yep
When you abs and traction control best thing is to find the fuse and throw it out
You drag your brakes keeping them dry and useable with abs
Waaah Such a vibe 🥶 anybody else lit asf and watching this? Drenched in cozy vibes🥶🏂🏡⛄
