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!
I literally 💀🤣🤣when you actually held Penny like you were her mama! Quality Content²!
I haven't laughed so hard in awhile watching you be Penny's mama. 😂😂
I’m going to join everyone else on the antics of cutting Penny’s nails..it worked,but I laughed so hard! I can’t wait to tell my other cat owner friends about it. 😊😊😊
Holy crap! I must try this new magic nail cutting technique, at least until someone takes my face off. 😅
🤣🤣🤣
I almost wet myself laughing watching Matthew cutting Penny's claws while masquerading as her mother, I'm never gonna get over that one!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's a muff dive he'll never forget!!!😂🤣😂🤣
@@TheLeopardGirlright 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 I take my two to a groomer for their nails. She’s super fast and treats my babies like gold 👍
Me too, it was fun
@@TheLeopardGirl OMGEEE, Good one!!
The lengths you go to, to take care of your kitty. I appreciate that you don’t declaw, because it does so much harm. You two looked so funny 😂.
After all these years Matthew.... you are still my favorite ShamWow salesman. 😂😂
Everything you say is quality. You had me in tears while clipping Penny's claws. Was too hilarious, loved it!!
OMG this made my day! Matthew you must vlog every time you trim Penny’s nails! 😂😂😂
Everyone support Foundry!! Please shop local instead of Amz
I used to volunteer in a small private school, and their music teacher/mom taught all the elementary kids "La Bamba." You wouldn't think so, but random kids going about their day singing a song as old as I am, in Spanish, NEVER got old. And, since it was a private school, as long as everybody could work together in peace, they could pretty much sing whenever they wanted.
Good job on skipping the declawing--and that was an amazing claw trimming technique!
Well, that's got to be a first! 😂 🐾
I think you're going to have to get yourself some hairball control after the cat pedicure! Penny looked so shocked! 🙀
It was crazy but it worked! I'm not brave enough to try it on mine.😹
The new glasses look great! 😎👌
It's so funny when they "pout",and "sulk" when they get their nails clipped..you would think they got tortured 😅
I will agree with everyone on trimming of the nails totally cracking me up. It was absolutely hilarious 😅😅 Thank you for being you Matthew. I wish all pet owners even cared just half of what you do and this would be a much better world 🌎
I’m so glad that Penny has some One-on-One with you now. Stella was an amazing cat, but it’s lovely that Penny has some time with you, she deserves it. Much love to all xxxxx
Well that's a different way to cut a cat's nails!!! Love you're new glasses! Keep smiling!
Come here Penny, while waving around the implement of doom. 😂😂 And she came to you!. Bites her in the neck and gets a mouth full of fur! 😂😂😂you kill me.
The foundry family is great, they are always the best, and the boys always get excited to tell me when there is new stuff lol
😎❤ MyEyeDr told me a long time ago when I was a kid, whenever I get new glasses, when you're putting on your glasses close your Eyes... Put the glasses on then open your eyes after the glasses are already on your face. It makes it easier for your eyes to adjust and will make you so nauseous until you used to wearing them 😁👍👍 hope that helps especially the ones you wearing for driving😊
That's clever with the nails!
❤hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
SAME with cutting kit-ten nails! Having said that, when you get a new kitten *if* whenever you pet, touch or handle him, touch his belly, legs, feet especially toes. Then when you start clipping, it's ok to do 1 at a time a few mins apart, but they get used to it and become lol 'tolerant' I've had many cats and just adopted 2 litter mates....solely for the 7 yr old cat you see 😁
Look what curiosity got the cat...a nail trim...lol😂
I laughed OUTLOUD at the nail cutting!
My ol’ mama kitty would’ve twisted away, I fear. Giving me a slap in the process.
LOL!
☕️☕️☕️thanks for always putting a Smile on this old lady face, always keep 🧁🧁🧁on doing what you do, give kisses to “Penny” too😻😻
Re trimming Penny’s nails, I found that when my cats weren’t “in the mood” to have a mani/pedi 😊 I would just do one paw at a time. No rush to get it done. No stress on the kitty.
Matthew the cat mumma, Quality Content, Quality Content 😂 Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
Haha nope I’ll get the Vet to do the nail clipping!
Good evening Matthew and Penny.
Holy crack, Batman! (said like Robin in orig 60's tv show)...ugh, I'm frickin' old! Thx for the much needed smile today, Matthew😊
Hello miss penny and Matthew. Nice haircut ❤
I really like your glasses for Grace!
OMG, you holding Penny for a nail trim...😂. Her fur is looking extra shiny!
Omg I laughed so hard when you said to Penny, I hope you bought the cigar dinner first 😂😂😂
You might want to ok into getting a small stand which will raise Penney’s dishes. It’s gentler not having to bend over so far. Helps,with digestion.
Well done Matt 👍
I have always done my cats nails this way. A vet taught me when I was 13. Around 25 years ago. It made sense to me lol my dad thought I was crazy. Always laughed when I did. But it worked. Lol
❤❤..YEAAHH....😊😊😅😅..FINALLY. W e missed you and Penny.
Yes, heard you say about the window cover that snaped inside had one years ago loved it
HEY YO!! So good to see you guys tonight! Been watching old ones up to now. Thank you again, sir.
I've gotta say I've never heard of, or seen, anyone clip their cat's nails whilst holding them still by the neck......so, thankyou for teaching me something new this week....I think. I sense hairballs as a "future Matthew" problem...😂 We use Frost Guard windshield covers on our vehicles...they have side mirror covers and the windshield cover has weighted tabs that go inside the doors, which hold it on, as well as straps that go around tge side mirrors. Structured at top and bottom as well. Got them on TSC a few years back. Passing it on. Don't know if that would work for you. Cheers from Ontario 🍻
You can put that lucky bandana on to the pink insulation window with some adhesive
So, now you need to film every time you cut Penny’s nails so we can have a laugh 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hi, I’m 82 really enjoy your channel. I was wondering about Amber. Keep up the fun channel
Matt I use my nail clippers on my Ms Sissy You can see where the membrane is so you don’t cut her and it doesn’t pull on the nail like the pet nail cutters. Just thought I’d share

Been wearing my first and only Dixxon shirt I got for Christmas and like it a lot. Red Green Show Limited Edition. 👍🏻
🤩
@@VanlifePLUSI just don't get the Dixxon obsession! I mean I like them on you but I just don't see myself in one.......nah!🙅♀️😂
Does the name maple marmite refer to dual citizenship?
That was the idea - I came up with it in a hurry when I picked a name a few years ago.
@@TheLeopardGirl They might bring out a leopard print one. I doubt it - but they might. Then you’ll be all over one 😂
Quality Content, Quality Content ❤
I cant believe I saw you do that Matthew, now I'm imagining my son cutting our dogs nails like that lol. Our dogs are tiny they weigh 9lb each. Xx
Matthew you are a joy to watch but cutting Penny's nails was over the top entertaining. Cat owners totally understand the challenge of the task; I would try it if my cat was still around.
I haven’t laughed like this in many moons. I have clipped many kitty nails having been a vet. tech. for years. This is a technique that never was mentioned. Thank you for this episode!!!! DELIGHTFUL ❤
Like your new glasses Matt i
Wear glass all the time
😂😂😂😂😂 never mind the store 😘😘😘looking like your closet.... It looks like your storage unit😂😂😂😘😘
Wow has Cross Iron ever changed since I lived there!!! 😲😲😲
I've been wearing glasses since I was 10. I could never be without transitions again. Best thing they came out with. LOVE the thin neon line in your new ones! And the bigger size looks great.
My windshield cover actually tucks into my driver and passenger door frame so it sits tight (and it has magnets all around) however, I have never towed my car before sooooo....... 🤣
the nail trimming..I literally laughed out loud hahaha
Hi Matthew and penny love the Hair cut and the way you cut pennys nails was brilliant xx
A lot of times they won’t replace just the lenses. The plastic frames are susceptible to breaking once they get older 😎
Holy shit dude! I can’t believe you actually did that with Penny 🤣🤣🤣 I used to be able to clip my cats by myself, but not with the one now, he’s kind of a spaz when it comes to that, It takes two of us, one to hold the back of his neck, then I clip the claws, thats even a battle 🙈 Thanks for the laughs ❤
I love Foundry! The manager is so nice. Highly recommend ❤
Great video Matthew, i'd look at mud flaps for LUCKY :)
Cool upload.
OMG it's official ....YOU ARE NUTS! Poor Penny. I hope you get a hair ball. LOL ❤
Prince of Persia is such a great game!! Good choice sir!!!
With the mini griddle you can have "fried" eggs whenever. Another good video.
That was an awesome trick with Penny..lol..funny looking as heck, but awesome!my cat has the same affliction lol
I live in Lethbridge and pay $22 /mnth for auto glass. When a rock hit the wind shield on my new car, I paid less than $50 to replace it. Just thought I'd mention that. Takecare 😊
You really need a "drought skirt" which attach to rear bumper,it goes all way from left to right side of van behind rear axcel,,,,, youl see it on big motor homes that tow (essentially) one long mud flap ,it'll keep both vehicles cleaner .😊
If you remember the red green show they're getting a Dixon shirt done.
They’ve actually done 2 collabs around the show 😁 very cool stuff
Cool!
Thanks for the laugh! Poor Penny! 😂😂
I clip my kitty’s nails too, but I haven’t held her with my teeth! That was so funny!
I like the new glasses, they really look good on you.
One thing you want to be aware of when washing your car is that doing it in super cold temperatures can potentially cause clearcoat crazing or even worse, separation due to thermal shock. I don't wash unless it's above zero, myself.
Nice in theory but for many of us in Canada waiting for above 0 could be 6 months of waiting
That’s awesome! Definitely trying that when I need to clip my cat’s claws - thank you!
My new Honda has the same block heater setup as your Tacoma. Not so sure I like it yet🧐
They make snow one that cover windshields that tuck into the door frames on both sides
Love your videos you make my day give penny a cuddle from me I live in Collingwood Ontario
If you run the arms of those glasses under some hot water, you can bend them into shape yourself. Learned that one from the lady that fits glasses at the Walmart near me
Hugs Penny♥♥♥♥♥
Yeah one more and then I'm done.... I did this while I was camping to keep the Sun out of the front of the 🚐. Take reflectix open both front doors start on the passenger side wrap some inside close the door wrap it across the windshield put it in the driver's door and close it. maybe that would stay on while you're towing it and protect the windshield from anything bouncing off the bubbles and the reflectix or you can use clear bubble wrap they sell that in Walmart😊 just a thought it was to keep the Sun out.
Wow! Thanks for this, I am thinking of getting a cat, or cats again. Only my oldest dogs have been around cats, but only ours before they passed.
Hi Matthew
I do admire your power system setup in Lucky ...it AMAZES me!😳🤔☺️
Your videos are awsume, I just close my eyes and I just fall asleep.
Matthew, after watching you live, i have to say, this Penny claw cutting is one of absolute best😂🤣.
My Roger and Lily cats, hated when i tried to snip myself!! I eventually took them to Pets Mart.
I love them both so much forever. Lily 15 and Roger 16. They were quite international pussies as born in California from rescue, flown to England and then to Florida where they passed after a long eventful lives..
Miss them so much as you can imagine...
just love your videos regardless of darling furrys, but your geniune love of everything is lovely..
from England presently.. Jackie 😻😻❤ im a citizen of UK/ US and Son rececently married a lovely Canadian from Calgery..
Matthew, great video. Penny is the very best😊
Matthew the way we protected our tow vehicle which was a van behind a class A. Was with mud flaps on the class A . In the decades we camped the only damage we received was not on the tow vehicle but rather on the windshield of the class A when a lumber truck passing us in washington state had stones come b off the lumber hitting the camper. Without a doubt mud flaps should stop the stones & rocks
Thks Matthew, that was fun 👍😆🥰🇨🇦
Good to hear the physiotherapy is going well.
Wow the glasses match the jeep - how many people can say that?
This has got to be a 5 smiler😊
It’s a I’m really mad at you knife!! LOL😂
A battery operated file helps my dog. He hates the clippers but deals better with the file.
Hey Matt, Don't forget to pick up Onion Salt next time at the store!!!!LOL
I couldn't wait until the end to see if you found a link for the windshield cover during towing cover so I went searching while listening -- and found several. So, you shouldn't have much trouble fining some either! I particularly liked the one made with PCS-Armor which appears to be semi-rigid. Anyway - have fun!
Matthew I'll buy some flannels from you when you get rid of them...
Fantastic vlog as always young man 😊.
WTG Penny you are brave Matthew. I still don't think it would workout well with my feral rescue cat Luna. I have to put her in a special bag and put a bubble on her head then get someone to help hold her still. Pour thing I feel so bad but she come loving us afterwards to say thank you 🤗
That's what i've done I bought a really nice frame two prescriptions ago and i've just had to make the lenses and then put them in the frames. And I'm gonna be doing that again because they're just as good as when they were new. And I really like them... So yeah you can do that and its cheaper
You Sk8er Boi, you🥰
LOL at you being Penny's mamma. 😂 We have 2 cats who were never declawed. Honestly, we've never trimmed their nails and they do okay. I have found a nail or two on the floor over the years, but they mostly use their sisal poles to maintain their claws like a wild cat would use a tree. They learned how and when to retract them when they get stuck. In the summer when the catio is open to them they like to claw on the wood planks we have installed as cat walks, so it's almost like having a tree in there for them. 😁
FABULOUS new glasses!! Love them both but the first ones are best and not just cuz they match Grace. Very very handsome. Oh, and the claw clipping was brilliant as well as hilarious and adorable. I wonder if that'll work on my Pit/hound mix? We CAN NOT touch his paws! Such a freak. Lol. 😂 ❤
