I loved the campground, seeing the golden hue of the sun hitting the trees, highlighting their autumnal colours and then the magnificence of the mountains. Thank you Matthew, a truly beautiful scene captured by your inherent mastery of the camera!😎
Last time I was at that Superstore it was -30c, Christmas Eve and no one could even push their empty cart to the entrance let alone a loaded one. OH THE JOYS OF PRAIRIE WINTERS!!
What I like about you.... You don't give a rats a** whether your mess shows or not. And I know that effing pain will cause it to become overly messy but you don't care who sees it. Cool Matt. I hope your surgery is a sensation dude. Hi Penny...❤
You are so LUCKY to have cheap gas and drive for a couple hours. Gas here on Vancouver Island is $2.15 in Victoria and where I live up Island is $2.05 a litre.
I'm so excited for you to get your surgery! I've been smoke free for almost a month now to prepare for mine, and I'm on pins and needles waiting for my date! I can't wait to walk without crutches again!
Ooops.....Never knew you were going to have a surgery! But I guess that goes with just following your channel. I hope you will keep us posted, otherwise these subscribers might become worried. And I surely hope you will be back in ' your tiny home on wheels'. Goodluck with the surgery, Matthew! With love from the Netherlands ❤
That ending was the best one ever. I shouted at you when you stood on the tire, and then you went to get your ladder...thank you for that. The squawking shithawk at the beginning made me laugh. Then the vehicle with the squeak. Amazing. It really doesn't take you long to set up camp. Amazing! Thanks as always for the "quality content" and the laughter.
GREAT video/vlog, Matthew! That was an EPIC ending! ... LUV'D IT!💖🤗. Your outdoor furniture is sooooo 'camper' friendly ...set up was very fast👍. AMAZING sky & mountain reflection on that lake ...very majestic!☺️. PRETTY Penny on vacation ...she looks happy & healthy!🐱. I really do appreciate your hard work in presenting us with such QUALITY footage ... continue to take care, stay safe & God bless you!😇🙏
I bought that Yeti chair over three years ago, and I do not regret a single second with it. I've drug it all over, to the beach, to the mountains, to BBQs. It's absurd how good it is. Well worth it.
I've been considering that chair myself... thinking back on how many 20, 30, 50 dollar chairs I've purchased over the years.. thinking that one is worth it.
I have a can for getting spare diesel, and instead of pouring it in I bought a drill attachment to move gas or diesel from the can to my diesel tank. I have arthritis so I can't hold too much weight without it slipping, so for me it works, the can is a 5 gallon empty paint reducer can from an autonomy store/shop. Turned it upside down and let it completely dry. Easy peezy for me.
Hi Matthew, great vlog. You always are in good spirits and I love that about you. Like you said in the live stream it’s not always like that. You and your family are in my prayers with your upcoming surgery. If you ever need a sounding board I’m here man. My wife says I’m a good listener, (ask her) just tell me how to send my email address to you. I will be sending good vibes and a card and stuff. Your 30k subscribers are in your corner man. Stay safe, Stay Cool/Warm. Prayers to you buddy!
LOL... I'm in the process of watching "Better Call Saul" from beginning to end, and yeah, Mike just showed up at Saul's with pretty much that exact bag with 1.5 million dollars in it. Good call!👍🏼🙃
@@Camaro-Sean Hey Sean... I won a shirt and, it was pure fluke... practice won't help... either watch each vid ten times, and take notes, or pray for luck... that's the only way us guys can ever beat his "Lady Fans". they are wayyyy more committed to this cause than us guys will ever be. lol.👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
Wishing you speedy pain free surgery. The middle solar panel is a little bouncy (right corner) latter problem. Love the video from the roof. Keep being you. All the best for your weeks to come, your big happy Family
Lucky is looking really neat and organized, I know you've been working hard on that. Also, prayers for a safe and successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
Cute! 😆 love the shirt, the weather, the set up and the cat. At 76, I go camping alone a lot as I don't know anyone my age who wants to exert themselves that much haha as camping can be hard work. You have taught me something very helpful ... to overcome being alone so much, I should talk to myself. I never have and I may go days without talking to anyone, but I think I'll begin, today. At least I'll be talking to someone intelligent haha. 😅 Thanx for the example. Maybe my dog will answer me.
Just don't talk to yourself in public... "The Public" frowns on that sort of thing. lol. I live alone too(62), having pets helps to avoid the "talking to yourself" issue, as you can always tell yourself you were just talking to the cat(dog, whatever)lol.
Peace of mind the pool in Wetaskiwin only charges $2.50 for a shower so the pool in what ever city you’re going to will have pool to have shower if you can get there before your doctors appointment great if not well he or she has smelled worse
Awesome video once again, Matthew! 👌 I love how Penny responds to you every time you talk to her-such a sweet girl. I can't believe how fast this summer/camping season has flown by! I'm looking forward to the next vlog to find out who won the crib game! Hi Lindsey, hi Sadie, hi Amber!! 👋 Happy and safe travels to all of you and Matthew, too!! 💕
Hehe, I’ve got a good laugh for you Matthew. I got a call from a Neurologist the other day after my old doctor requesting it in 2020 which was the year he retired. The appointment was to do with the fact of my pinched sciatica & degenerative discs. Well first I have to go through another MRI which could take 4 months & this is after waiting more than 3 years for the Neurologist to phone, yes I know it had to do with Covid, but man. She did mention surgery like yours did as well, but also mentioned something to do with injections which my older sister (who worked in Dr’s offices) said they are probably referring to gel replacement or something. So here in BC I will be waiting probably at least another 6 months or a year before the I get anything done & in the meantime my ability to walk continues to deteriorate. Best wishes for your appointment in Edmonton❤️
What a coincidence you just uploaded a new video, I was just watching your videos from last year on Amber when you helped her with tools for moving from her Dodge Caravan to her current van, then the video on why it may not be good to have a larger pet in a Van and why she had to give up her dog River due to unfortunate circumstances. Actually, I was looking for videos on how to live in a Van in Winter months.
Congratulations on the 30K!! That was hard-earned & well-deserved! So tickled you finally got some firm news on your surgery. Praying for the best possible outcome. I always enjoy your videos, especially the camping ones with Lindsey, but honestly 48 min is just too long for me. I can sit still for maybe 25 min, before getting antsy & thinking of the other things I need to do. Sorry, just felt I should let you know.
@@VanlifePLUS Yip I know, I'll just watch later in the evening, when I have fewer interruptions. I just get so excited to see them come up in my feed. But, I won't be dying on that hill for sure! Wishing you the best always!
Prayers for your back surgery and recovery! I can’t remember when it is but I know it’s this week. I was trying to remember what you were saying about the videos you were presetting and I was confused! lol Also I was wondering who was cat sitting? I thought maybe Lindsay? Anyway….hope to see an update from you or Amber! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@Katherinespong I replicated that shower scene for my fella, naked of course but unfortunately when I flicked my hair back I got a shit load of water all over his phone!🤣🤣🤣 Still the scene came out well and he was pleased!😜
Hello Matthew my dear& Precious Miss Penny🐾🐈🐾 Trying to catch up on your recent everything. No doubt you are past anxious to have this done and get to healing and back to all that you love minus the pain and devices needed to somewhat numb that pain. Hope life ahead doesnt throw us all out of orbit. Be Safe, Be Healthy and Always find Joy in your day 💗
There's a movie "Kenny" that you might like. It's an OZ made movie (don't hold that against it) but you and Amber checking out the chair reminded me of it.
She might have one already, although it's only part time(very part time.. but I thinks she's starting to put in a few more hours... her tube channel. lol.
Hello 👋 Mathew.. wanted to tell you other night..good luck with your surgery. Remember we all will be here for you. Prayers to you.
Love the yellow YETI!! Good choice.
You also read all our minds when you got the ladder out. Another good choice 😂. It must be beer o'clock now.
Is there ANY time that's Not "Beer O'clock"?... (asking for a friend)🙃
I loved the campground, seeing the golden hue of the sun hitting the trees, highlighting their autumnal colours and then the magnificence of the mountains. Thank you Matthew, a truly beautiful scene captured by your inherent mastery of the camera!😎

The effort you make to get a shot - Thankyou. But would love to see a vlog of just bloopers etc.
Agreed.. the 'real stuff' is already so amusing... I imagine a blooper reel would be rotf funny.👍🏼
So you caved in and bought the yellow Yetti mug
You are so LUCKY to have cheap gas and drive for a couple hours. Gas here on Vancouver Island is $2.15 in Victoria and where I live up Island is $2.05 a litre.
😱 that’s insane!
You say the next shot might be a driving shot....then deliver a driving/penny shot.....best of both worlds imo
Matthew always 'over-delivers'!
Great video as always Matthew of your vanlife camping adventures. Hi Pennycat....and Amber 🍟 :)
A window cover for the side door that goes on with magnets might be a good idea, if it’s well-padded with insulation.
Wishing you the best on your upcoming surgery, and take it easy afterwards!
And a happy birthday!
I'm so excited for you to get your surgery! I've been smoke free for almost a month now to prepare for mine, and I'm on pins and needles waiting for my date! I can't wait to walk without crutches again!
Yay...I'm excited for you! This too shall pass......and...please don't go back to smoking. You do NOT want to be where I'm at now....Hugs
@@CathyTx2001Thank you xo hugs back to you!!

Penny is lucky to have such a cool dad! 😽💕
Congrats on 30K subs!🎉

I thought something was 'squeaking' here in my home, 😳🤔👀 ...I got on the intercom and asked my Mom(downstairs) what was squeaking!😆😂🤭 ...DUHHH!🤯
LOL!!!
Yes Matthew. You read my mind 😏😉Use the ladder! 😂😂😂
Best of luck 🎉❤ We’ll be waiting for you for when you get back! ❤

Hey! That’s great to know - durability is always key with vanlife I’ve realized since stuff gets used so much more frequently
I've been considering that chair myself... thinking back on how many 20, 30, 50 dollar chairs I've purchased over the years.. thinking that one is worth it.
Home sweet home. I love how you keep the humour in your video's! Thank you for being a bright spot in my day.

You are too funny with those pretzel buns, Nice campsite. enjoy your time with Lindsay and Sadie.
So , you got the yeti !

Good job. Working today? Lucky is kinda spottles. Good luck whit your surgery.
Hope the surgeon appt goes well and you got thorough answers to questions you may have.
That laundry bag looks like a bank robber bag 😆 🤣 😂

@@BorealisNightsI made it to one sudden death. But I agree, the lady fans are more into the details. It was a lot of fun.
Lucky looks sooo good: comfy, tidy and organized. Best of luck with the surgery Matthew. Enjoyed you and Amber's visit.
