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 got a catio for the foster kittens. Thank you for showing it to me. It's keeping the babies safe from the adult cats.
I’m slowly getting used to the new schedule. Good things come to those who wait.
Stunning videography and the drone shots! Wow!!!
Matthew, Canadian tire carries a tube of marine sealant called 5200. This is what boaters use to prevent water leaks. Highly recommend for your vent sealing.
Hello to all the Allen family 😊😊
I hate bugs too. Did you ever notice that every time you see a pine beetle, if you seem to look at it it seems to see you too at the same time and it comes right for you. Never fails!
This made me miss time on the boat with my fam. Treasure it dearly, while you have it! 💜
I love how close you and Lindsey are! I'm glad you had such a great time on the lake!
Allan family all together again 💖 Quality content. Quality content.
OMG, Matthew the drone footage was superb, well done!😍 The footage showing the low laying cloud over the lake was haunting and along with the absolute clarity of Slocan, be still my heart!🤌
Love the boat ride, music and scenery.
YESSSSS ...just sitting down for dinner with my pancakes, bacon, coffee and a Saturday evening video/vlog from VanlifePLUS!👍🤗💖☺️. DEFINITELY for the 'WIN'!🎉
You peeling away the pain reminded me back in the 90's I had a Chevy Corsica went in the car wash with a blue car came out with a gray car 😢 even my dad's oldsmobile had peeling off paint I see things haven't changed much years later 😒
Amazing photography =,^) Isn't it incredible how something as terrible as a forest fire can produce such beauty as what you recorded?
Hi, on another van/bus builder site, Isic Turner said he only uses Marine sealants, never regular house construction ones. I just watch RUclipss. No way do I have building skills. Good luck.
I’ve watch some of his stuff. It made me like Skoolies.
Marine grade sealants can last underwater. All I use 😀
I sure hope youre enjoying your weekend this weekend sir!!! 💚
Beautiful!! Nothing better than being on the water!! 🎉❤😊
Matthew…Your videos just get better and better! 🥰
Love seeing you happy
Hello, Matthew, Penny and Lindsey! Hope you’re having a good time.
Aerial views of the boat and wake was awesome!
Happy Saturday Evening Matthew and Sweet Penny.😊
Yay a vlog on a Saturday! 😊 good evening Matthew and Penny. Love that shirt!
I was seriously waiting for your hat to fly off your head while boating 😂
That boat ride looks so awesome. The scenery !!!!!!
Thanks Karen from Florida 🌴💕
Hi Lindsey !!
Hi!
Slocan Lake is beautiful!!
I"m not a train expert, but that rusted hulk looks more like the covering on top of a steam engine than of a railway car.
While on vacation this past week, we took a ferry to the island of Ocracoke. It’s where the pirate Blackbeard was ultimately “disposed of” via the loss of his head. Anyway we visited an antique store inside a man’s home. He had some of Blackbeards things on display. All of that to say, I thought of your love of pirates when I was looking at the display.
The smoke looks incredible seems like out of a movie scene
BLESSINGS...AND thank you for a video on saturday.❤
Awesome video Matthew & Penny! Beautiful drone footage! Ouch! Bummer about your back, I hope you feel better soon! Always nice to see your family! Take care and stay safe!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🐈🐶❤️🌮🌮🌮
I had the same problem with my van paint and vent leaks. I took truck box spray liner,(2) coats. Worked out great 👍.
Sand around the fane before you caulk it. Gotta make sure the metal has been prepped before the caulk take hold. Everyone calm down...... not that kinda caulk.
Trouble with your caulk is the worst, isn’t it? 😁
Great shirt!
Water from AC can be reused for cleaning or washing up.
The answer is TACOS ...do I win that BEAUTIFUL DIXXON!?🤨🤔🤭☺️. Seriously, one of my FAVORITES now ...the colors blend/merge perfectly!🎉
Another great vlog Matthew!
Thanks.
Omgosh l love ❤️ t when your cousin with you. You do so much with her and your niece. As always love your channel ❤👍
Also check the tops of your windows too I had a leak on the seal.
Nice to see you & Lindsey out on the lake again, seems like a long time ago. That smoke really makes for awesome vistas. Enjoy your weekend darlin’🥰💞😘🏴☠️🍀
Nice music.
Hi Matthew and family. Great to see you tonight ❤❤
Good Evening Matthew
Didn't expect you tonight. Thanks!😊😊❤
Love this channel
So cool to see your boat finally out on the water! 👍💯
Hi sweetie, just thought I'd let you know, the boat is his dad's boat "Sebastian." Matthew's boat still needs a new engine.😊
@@TheLeopardGirl Oh wow, thank you for clarifying. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. Lol.

Woohoo vlog time
Happy Saturday ...Matthew, PRETTY Penny, Lindsey, Sadie, Matthew's Mom and Dad, A FAMILY FRIEND(?), Byron, Steph, Lil Noah and Atradies!👋. This was a FUN video/vlog ...a little bit of everything going on!👍🤗💖☺️. LUV'D the lake footage, it really touched my soul ...cribbage Island is AMAZING 'peaking' out of the water. Another EPIC family visit out in BEAUTIFUL BC!🎉 ... thanks for the share😊.
12:07 mark: Oh yeah, that's a big no-no for my cats. The bottom of the food dish is the end of the world for them. Lol.
Hi Matthew! If you ever watch Moonshiners… I’m sure you’ve seen what they use to keep a tight seal on the stills?…. Good luck! ☀️
Awesome video
I love you yelling at Sebastian...like he's making that sound on purpose...just to annoy you... Watching you with your family is always awesome. I imagine it felt great to have the boat out and made you miss your boat just a little bit...
We had these bugs back in BC. They were the green of grass. Anytime you’d squish them, they leave a red dye behind. You couldn’t remove it. I haven’t seen them in Alberta though. I’d take those bugs over the horse flies. Great video Matthew. I hope you & Penny are having a wonderful weekend. See you in the next one bud.
I'm really surprised that you had to take the spare tire off, in order to hook up the trailer. ✌🏼
Would need a drop hitch to make that work
The lake is beautiful! I found the Lost Train documentary on Tubi! Your family is so delightful. This entire video was great!
@VanLifePlus - MATTHEW - 30:25 - Mysterious beauty😮 Thanks for bring us along for the boat ride. HELLOoooo Cuz Lindsay!!😊
One of my cats has to drop her food onto the carpet to eat. So,I have a towel by the food dish. SoI can pick up the towel and shake it out.
Another great video Matthew ❤ xx
Hello all from El Paso Texas
Matthew, I would suggest using marine sealant on the roof vent and then after it is dry, paint over the roof and it if you want. That way you won’t have paint flaking under neath it and allowing leaks. People living in sticks and bricks are also doing a lot of projects and things around their homes too - that’s just part of life, especially in our country. I love watching you do your projects and seeing things get better and learning lots of great ideas and how to make it all happen / come together. Oh, our co-op had vanilla coke and remember tahiti treat? They also have the special mountain dew, Pineapple crush and other crush drinks so maybe your co-op in Calgary does too - in our store, it was a special display over by the milk coolers. ❤😊😺. Drone footage and the smoke is amazingly beautiful. Love the music too.
Hello Mr…love the boating music.
Thanks for always making me laugh, great one :)
Hope your back is being kind to you while you are camping this weekend.
Hi Matthew ,Penny & Lindsay
Love, love the family vlogs. It’s so easy to tell how much you love your family! ❤❤
Those little bugs are busy laying eggs for next year. Mark that on your calendar.
You should not use silicone on painted metal. Over time it turns acidic causing paint and primer to degrade resulting in rust.
I believe one of the eeriest voices in Eldon Ring is actor Con Oneill.
If there is a hell, there will be a beeping check engine light😂
In hell cars are designed by computer engineers, and they just have General Car Alert lights
😊🧡
thanks.
Hey Matthew and Penny
Well that is a pain in the buttocks! Good luck “repairing” the roof vent!
Matthew, get some durabond tape, then paint over it.
You have finally been to fine dining in New Denver...all you had to do was wait 30 years. But too bad the pizza joint is not still open down the street -no reservations for that. How were the chicken enchiladas?
Meh
Hi Matthew and Penny Ray fr9m Wisconsin here!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦, roaming Reckless, Brother Matthew just got robbed,, $10,000 worth of stuff,😢😢
♥️
Have you seen the Ryobi multi tool/cutter…I use it for a ton of stuff it cut fast and clean. You can get blades for wood, plastic, and metal.
Rust inhibitor on your roof young man!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don’t drink and goop 😂😂😂
Dude I was just thinking, you know what might make a good vid., mount some running lights on your Pop's boat, & you & your Compadre boat out to that island with a plastic portable table & a lantern for a game of Crib, at sunset, might be kinda cool, spooky, adventure, just a thought for a new Pirate twist on your card tourny, just a thought, have a great day !
Cue the chorus of admonitions for you to wear eye protection 🥽
👍👍
🙏❤️🌮🐟😼🐾
You’re so funny.
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉
You just need to go ahead and get yourself a truck camper.
1 day
🍀🌼🍀🌼🍀
Penny sure can eat lol. Quality content... Quality content lol
Hello
I was just curious, since its almost been a year. Foes your back feel better, worst or same before surgery. They want to put screws in my back, and ive been putting it off.
Installing my diesel heater tomorrow! do you have your fuel pump on the outside? any videos i should check out for tips!
No all my critical components are on the inside. Only videos I have is when I put it all BACK into Lucky 2.0 earlier this year
@@VanlifePLUS I'll find the video. Are you still using a stock fuel pump and what have you done for noise?
@@colinSAcolin45colin you still stock and I just got used to the ticking
@@VanlifePLUS I think with my limited budget I'm just gonna use the stock one. Tomorrow is finishing diesel heater and finding a good place for the noco battery outlet. ty ty ty

Hello peaky
Why are you staying in van at your parents place?
It’s home. I do the same.
Matthew would have to also move Penny and a lot of other things.
Maybe it is easier.
He said he wasn’t going to bother moving in and out for just a couple days
Does a life in vanlife include constant caulking?
😂
Everybody just calm down 😂
Matthew, Sorry haven’t been watching just got done moving!
Hey matthew penny the golden nugget tubbers Stella the professional escape artist and pirate princess Brooklyn the chevy paint job back in the 80s and 90s was water based paint easily peeling. My 88 chevy s 10 I had peeled paint right above the windshield on the roof
RIP Stella
