Happy Birthday!! I am a 70 year old lady that just discovered your channel. Love your music, Lars and your wonderful outlook on life. If it has not been mentioned, please check your exhaust tailpipe to make sure snow didn’t get in it. If there is snow in it there is no way for the carbon monoxide to escape and that can be deadly( carbon monoxide poisoning). Sorry. It’s the mother in me worrying about you and Lars!!❤😂🎉
Happy happy birthday
I'm 70 also❤
I’m 79. Happy birthday and have a perfect year!
Happy Birthday💖
I’m 62 and I feel the same way. They are an awesome team 😊
As a Swede 🇸🇪 I feel inclined to let you know how to make a snowman 😊You started off correctly by making a snowball, step 2 should be roll the snowball in the snow in a straight line until it reaches the desired size, repeat with 3 snowballs and stack 'em - you've now got a snowman ☃Happy birthday in arrears!
It’s so funny - growing up in New England it didn’t occur to me that we had to ‘learn’ to make a snowman. We started so young it was forgotten till I saw you. I wish I appreciated snow as much!!!!
You didn’t spend it alone, Lars was there with you the whole time. Wishing you two many more shared birthdays together.
lars is always sleeping. its like that one friend who comes to hang but stays in the next room away from you
Happy Birthday
Lars is a very wise fur person. I'm in my van too and under the electric blanket.
Mateo please start keeping more food in your van for times that the weather gives you surprises..
Be Blessed
Happy, Happy Birthday Mateo. Stay safe [you and Lars] in your snow adventures! We have lots of snow here in Chicago also. ☃️❄
Happy belated birthday, I just celebrated mine in the car as well! The downside to being car bound is things like this but don’t let it get you down, you have much love right here 💜😁
Happy Birthday B safe🎉🎉
Just came across your videos. It’s no coincidence you received the news about Brandy’s memorial service on your birthday. I believe in my heart it was her way of saying “thank you for your kindness. Happy Birthday, from Heaven”. She knew you were not alone and wanted you to know she is at rest. What a blessed birthday. It’s not about the presents, or the cake - it’s about the love and happiness. God bless you!
She knew nothing
I agree, no coincidence - God, the Universe, or whatever you call the higher power, works in mysterious ways!
What a beautiful thing to say ,made my eyes sweat well said 👏
That was a very nice message you wrote @Carolyncoppola974
not "Happy Birthday, from Heaven” 🥹
🐾☮ Thankyou Mateo for letting us know Brandy was laid to rest by her Family, Cousins and Friends RIP Beautiful Brandy 💜☮
Sending love, healing vibes, peace, and my deepest sympathy. Please pass it on to any and all who love her.
May Brandy be at peace in the most beautiful place.
♥️❤️✨🌤️💛❤️🩹💔❤️🩹💛🌤️✨❤️♥️
Please never change your intro song I don’t know the song but I love it 😂
@@kristinastepney686 it’s one of his originals!!
@@derekduncan900 Lars went out to check out the snow Queen but he went right back in. 😹😹😹😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
I wanted to wish you happy belated birthday
I couldn’t stop thinking about Brandy and her beloved dog, she would be happy to know that Abbey wasn’t going to feel abandoned. Your subs are so caring, I read many comments!❤
What happened to her I know he said she passed but idk what happened
@@yowhatup1050 Brandi died after some sort of seizure (apparently she was prone to them). Thankfully her beloved canine companion Abbey was taken in and given a home by a family member. I hope she's getting lots of love and reassurance - she will never forget her human Mom Brandi, or the bond they shared. Dogs never do.
That is the cutest snow-woman I've ever seen. . . Snowmantha....adorable. She is cheerful looking like you. Such great news on Brandy's family being contacted because of your video and her pup being rescued by a family member....tears. Happy Birthday, Mateo....many blessings, always.
Hey Mateo, you’re breathing very heavily and that’s not good brother. I would recommend excercising for 1 hour in the snow. Do a power run, stop and rest 5 minutes and do another power run until you sweat. Brother stay healthy.
Happy Birthday. You have people like me and others that love you and wish you the best.
Your kindness to Brandi really impressed me. So glad you posted that video. I love the channel!
Happy birthday Mateo! A snow tip from a Torontonian: get a shovel for your van. You can get a folding one to save space. Often when snow plows come when there is deep snow, they have no choice but to box you in with snow while
They are clearing around your van, and you will have to shovel your way out. Watch some videos on how to get your car unstuck from snow; it will help to know what to do beforehand so that you don’t panic if it happens to you. It happens to everyone who parks on the street all winter long. Just part of snowy winter life! But with some tools and know-how, you’ll be fine!
2:04 the most important things to know are to
1. Take it slow
2. turn INTO the skid
3. LITTLE movements with your steering wheel, don’t over correct.
Freshly fallen snow isn’t so bad to drive in,…after the sun melts it throughout the day and then it refreezes overnight and you’re driving on a sheet of ice rather than the pavement, THAT is when it becomes really challenging!
I really appreciate the fact that you seem to find such joy in little things. In turn, it makes me realize how grateful I need to be. Hope you stay safe and warm throughout your adventures! Godspeed my friend!
I love having snow on my birthday and spend the day alone, cooking for myself and playing outside. This year it rained all day here, but it was still a great day! Glad the lady’s family were able to celebrate her life and that you were given some peace.
Hi, as a kid in Michigan we stayed outside for hours playing in the snow. Once you get your snowball started just start rolling it around in the snow, it will get bigger. But I Loved your first try at it.🙏💜
yes Roll it. ♡
Happiest of Birthdays Mateo! I’m happy you heard from Brandy’s family and have closure about her and I’m happy to hear she was laid to rest. I’m also very happy to hear her dog found a loving home with her family member.
I just can’t get over Lars 😂😂 his personality is so funny and laid back at the same time ! And I’m SO HAPPY to know Brandys dog is safe and doing well with her family ❤️
That’s some heartwarming news about Brandy and her pup, despite the sad circumstances. Thanks for the update, Mateo 🙏
Snowmantha is a total queen!
You’re reaction to Prime made me laugh, I had the exact same reaction… 😄
Glad you had fun in the snow… a birthday blizzard blessing!
PS I love how Lars just jumps back up under his blanket 🐈⬛❤️
Im like lars stayed buried under covers i hate to freeze😂 me n Lars are snugglin hahaha😂
You are showing the world it's not about all the stuff life does not have to be so complicated. You enjoyed your birth day the way you choose. Glad you had closure about Brandy, you followed your heart to give her a warm breakfast. She accepted a meal from a sttanger. She will for ever be an angel to you. Happy her family has her dog. Keep on living your best life. RIP Brandy. Keep up the good wholesome content. You have a great community. Like the positive vibes.
Also get some pocket hand, feet warmers. They also have larger ones. Hunters in colder states use them. They come in little packets and when you squeeze them they emit warmth. They also last about 8hrs.
Minnesotan here with Snowman 101 - you had a really nice start with those little balls. Next time, roll the balls around in the snow until they are the size you desire. The largest ball goes on the bottom. The medium sized one goes in the middle. The smallest ball goes on top. The balls are “glued” together by packing more snow around where they meet. You want wet snow so that it is sticky. To me, it looks like your snow was dry and powdery. Glad to see that you are keeping the child inside alive and playful.
Young Mateo and snowmantha made my heart smile… oh the innocence 😍😍😍😍HappyBirthdayMateo!!!
Snowmatha too cuteee😍
23:57 I’m glad you got news on Brandy! *hugs*
Happy blessed birthday Mateo! 🥳💜 I'm from Ohio and snow like this is common. As long as you have good tread on your tires, and thermal or wool clothing, you'll do fine. Be safe and drive slow. Peace and blessings 💜🙏🏽☮️
If you let Lars out, be mindful of how long he's in the snow/cold, it hurts their precious paw pads 🐾😻
I am so happy Brandy's family was able to find her! I'm sure you feel better and got some closure and peace about that situation. As I said, you were there for a reason in her last days on earth.
Happy Birthday 🎂.
Make sure to clean off your tail lights of any snow so the cars behind you can see them.
Happy belated birthday Mateo🥳 You didn't spend it alone, you had Lars and Snowmantha☃️ That pizza looked bomb!😃 Thank you for the update on Brandy and her dog❤️ And just to let you know, you went through Flagstaff during one of our biggest snow dumps for then☺️ Glad you love the snow🤍
Happy Birthday Mateo! Lars the snow cat! Ice Spice the snow woman! You guys make the greatest trio! FYI - roll the snowballs in the snow to make them bigger, a little moisture in the snow helps and that snow looked really dry! RIP Brandi! 😇🪽
Happy birthday to you, Mateo. This is one you will always remember. So very pleased Brandy’s family reached out to you, it was heartbreaking to see your grief at her passing. I was pretty sure you were carrying that with you. Now, knowing she has not been forgotten, hopefully your heart can be lighter.
That pizza looked delicious 👍
Best advice for driving in the snow is to drive slow with your lights on. Wait for the plows and try and drive behind them. If you start to slide, take foot off the gas, turn wheel gently in the direction you want to go. Gentle short presses of the brake to slow you down. I worry about you being out there in such bad weather. Maybe you should park in town? The weight of your van and good tires, is what helps you with traction ❤ praying for your warmth and safety. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈
Watching you "build" a snowman was hilarious. You start a small ball of snow by hand then roll it on a path on the ground to make it bigger. You are so funny! Happy Birthday! Many many more!
Happy birthday Mateo. Tank you for the update on Brandi. I was so touched by her. I guess we will never know why she was alone in freezing conditions with no resources. Poor Abby lost her mom but I sure am glad she went to family. Mateo your little oven works well. The pizza looked crispy.
Yes we can only guess at that, people have pride when they fall on bad luck and her relatives probably didn't know of her predicament.
The cold weather she was unprepared for and contributed to her death no doubt. People don't realise cold will beat the strongest of us
You are living so many adventures when you are a old man you will look back at a LIFE lived with pride. Liked and subscribed!
Mateo, your video with Brandy gave me so much hope. My brother's body was found in Vegas, and I keep thinking that maybe someone showed him some kindness before he passed. I know that was a difficult situation; thank you for sharing the story.
@janellbeach8616..sorry for your loss 😢
Not gonna lie - I love car camping in the snow. Happy birthday to you! Hope you get many more years of doing exactly what brings you joy - especially on your birthday. Also, thank you for the update on Brandy. I'm glad to hear her family was able to lay her to rest and that her pup is with family.
One good thing is that you showed that woman some kindness before she passed away. You were likely the last person she saw and left this world knowing there are still good people in the world. How wonderful that her dog was able to find a home in the family because of your video, Mateo! Happy belated birthday. I'm a cappy, too!
A late happy birthday wish Mateo. As someone that lives in a state where it snow, be careful. If you don't have a shovel you should get one. Use it shovel the snow around your car away. It will help get you from getting high centered if the snow is deep.. Also, cat litter, sand and cardboard can be use to get better traction. I love your videos and you seem like a nice young man. Drive carefully, be safe and be happy. I hope you always have a love for adventure. Lots of people spend most if their life working at a job they hate.Thank you for sharing your life with all of your fans. Sending you a blessing for good health, safe travels, love and happiness. Stay warm.
Hi Mateo and Lars. You weren't alone we were all thinking of you and you had your wee lars. Loved your lady snowman so cute. You would be warmer with reflexives on your windows as well as your curtains as glass lets the cold in and the heat escapes out. Glad to hear that lady's family sent her off with love and her dog is safe and loved also. You both stay safe my friend. ❤🐈⬛
Hopefully upgrading my window covers soon!!
Thanks k!
Happy birthday, Mateo...i hope you stay warm as you can and safe out there... stop in if you come thru this way.... John (the mechanic)
Happy Bless Birthday, Mateo. Enjoy your birthday .Stay warm you and Lars.🥳🎂🎁🎈
Happy birthday from another winter born person. Hope the New Year brings you many great new journey's with Lars!
Happy Birthday, Mateo! I wish you many, many more. Thank you for the update on Brandi. Thank you for giving her that last act of human kindness.
Happy Blessed belated birthday Mateo. Thank you so very much for taking me on a adventure with you in your van I truly feel like I am riding with you. Remember you are not alone you have a lot of fans following you watching you enjoying you. God bless you.
Happy Birthday! To get used to driving in the snow do a few donuts in an empty spot and practice braking. Keep your doors and windows closed will help conserve heat. Love your enthusiasm. Be safe, glad family was able to get peace with Brandy and Abby got to be with family
Happy birthday 🎊🎉🎂 and the snow ⛄️ lady looks amazing. Be blessed and safe.
It has been a joy watching your videos these past few days because I am new to your channel.
You spent your birthday in a winter wonderland. ❄
I was devastated by the passing of Brandy. I am happy to know that you showed her so much warmth and kindness the day before. I also feel for her beautiful dog (I love how your cat is your driving companion).
What an awesome birthday present to you, hearing about Brandy like that! Thanks so much for sharing with us and thanks for letting us know about her dog too. Happy Birthday, Mateo!!!🎉❤
People don’t appreciate the little things in life sometimes just being warm or being out of the snow or rain or having a good meal feels like life is good & everything is going to be ok.
Happy Birthday! Your concern for Brandy was heartwarming. You have such a caring spirit.
You are never alone. Don't forget your Guardian Angles. Happy Birthday again!! ❤
😊 thank you
Happy birthday! 🎉 Stay safe and warm.
Happy Birthday!! Oh No!!The Arctic Blast hit him!!🥶🥶🥶 Please take good care of you and stay warm however you have to!💞
Happy Birthday Mateo! Hoping for happiness and success for you!
11:25 HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

My friend you need a winter jacket asap.

I love snow, rainstorms, cold weather…a New Yorker at heart…that’s why I’m now living in NC🥴😁
🥳to the realest guy out there living van . Your lucky you have a van rather than a car to drive in that weather. Lars is one comfy cat , I love that for him. Your video with Brandy was the first I watched and it was so heartbreaking. I’m glad you got that message today. Sending you much love from Ireland ❤

HB hope u have an amazing day God Bless 🎂🎈🛍🎉🎁🙏❤️
Nice to meet Queen, Snowmantha. Closure can be a blessing, to so many. Thumbs up from S. California.
Happy Birthday. Advice from a grumpy Canadian. Firstly, all terrain does not equal snow tires. To be a true snow tire the rubber needs to be remain pliable in freezing temperatures, not harden and become slippery. Secondly, you were not hydroplaning but skidding, skidding like hydroplaning is a real sense of losing control but they are different and you could research each. Get a set of snow tires and swap them out each winter season, Kaltire and others In Canada will store the 2nd set and they swap each season. Confidence is when the snow driver loses control, go slow, give lots of stopping space between you and the car in front of you. Driving in snow is fun and you know the scenery is nice, enjoy but stay sharp. Don't park against the curb or you may get buried in drifting snow, the trucks park in the middle for a reason. If the trucks are not rolling, it might make sense to look again before departure. An emergency candle with keep you alive warm, pack one. Sorry to be dad. Happy birthday and looking forward to snowy drone shots but be safe and think twice in a storm.
Also I think you cars heater only produces heat when the engine is running. When the engine is off, no heat.
That’s what I said. I can’t believe people don’t understand that you can’t hydroplane in the snow. Hydro literally means water. Doesn’t take much overall intelligence to do youtuber stuff…
Happy Birthday Mateo! Sending all the good juju for an amazing year for you and Lars
Happy birthday. You made my day. Hilarious snow women. She is lovely. Love how you show Lars everything. You are awesome. Stay warm.
Happy belated Birthday I just discovered your channel and I just love your personality and outlook on life. My heart broke for you and Brandy when she passed. The kindness you showed to a stranger I can only imagine how this world would be if there were more kind and loving people like you. You are the “light” we all saw it shine. May God our Heavenly Father continue to bless you and keep you safe in your travels.I love your posts and Lars what a companion. Wishing you peace and good health
Happy Birthday Mateo. Wishing you warmth & a 1 bedroom in the winter!
Love the channel & I'm here for it!
Next time just keep rolling your small ball around on the snow,it will get bigger and that is your base the bottom of the snowman,then form another ball and do the same that will be middle part,then one more ball roll do the same and that is the head. You can use sticks for his arms ,use one of your hats for him.Stones for his eyes, carrots for his nose. Make sure all the balls are not the same size 😊 Forgot to say Happy birthday 🎉😊☃️☃️❄️ Happy birthday 🎈🎂☃️
I recently found your channel! Happy Birthday and in reference to Brandi…your kindness that day was such a joy. I know it feels good to know you brought a bright spot to her life on that cold day! Keep shining and bringing hope and smiles ✌🏼☮️
Happy birthday to you 🎼
Happy Birthday to you!🎼
Happy birthday dear Mateo!⛄️
Happy birthday to youuuu⛄️🎂🎼✌🏼
First off….U didn't spend your Birthday alone……Lars was there to keep u company….Happy Birthday Mateo…..I enjoyed your snow woman u made…Great job for first time around! RIP Brandy!!
Next time you make a snowman start with a small ball and roll around and it'll get larger and larger❄️⛄
I find so much peace in your videos thank you
Happy Birthday and love your videos. Praying God blessed you richly for the kindness you always show to total strangers. You are Awesome
Happiest Birthday to you! That was so cute and fun 😂🎉. Wishing you safe travels on your continued journey 🙏
Awesome Awesome SNOW WOMAN!! The First I have seen....! You Rock Mateo! It's all in the effort.... Snow Woman is Beautiful!! That's Really Great Art ... Indeed! And The Name..... SWOWMANTHA! INCREDIBLE! 🌬️! Happy Blessed New Year! Happy Blessed Birthday! 💟🙏🏽✝️🛐🧑🏾🦋 *Vandie Van 🚐 Wings 🦋*
I think you are the first person that ever went into a porta potty and peed while video taping. I was laughing my ass off. That's why I love your show. You are so real and uplifting. I just love ya because you lift my spirits and I'm a 55 yr old woman who is quite depressed. Thank you for the laugh!
I’m impressed that a man would brave life threatening temperatures to take a piss, when they could easily stay safe and warm and use the snow right outside (or a bottle If being really polite and correct while inside the van) I’m getting big time need for adventure vibes, just hope both he and his cat can stay both healthy, warm, and safe. Cold temperatures plus the incredibly dry air is never good for anybody’s health, and he said as much in the sad, recent video, a few upgrades could raise his quality of life while keeping his wonderful spirit of adventure alive. Stay warm, stay safe!✌️✌️✌️
Happy belated birthday my friend 🎂🎂❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Jesus for answered prayers for both knowing Brandy was so very loved by her family and for her dog Abby for being rescued by a loved one ❤May Brandy's family and friends and Abby find peace during this difficult time 🙏🙏🙏 God bless you Mateo and what an AMAZING and blessed Birthday gift!!! 🥰
Happy Birthday🎉🎉❤. You're not alone. We're all with you. 😊
Just look threw the comments an i must say u have a wonderful group of people watching ur channel. Godbles u take care my friend. Love allways johnny
Happy birthday! You have such an adventurous spirit- You are my new most favorite van man! Plus my son LOVED an Astro van! That makes you very special to me! Sending miracles!
T hank you to the folks who saw your vlog and knew who to pass it along to! Small world, sometimes. I love your videos. I have to say, your breathing had me worried. Please take care of yourself Mateo.
Lovely Snow ❄️ Lady!🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATEO!! GOD BLESS YOU. STAY SAFE AND WARM!🙏💖🎂🎂🎂🌹🍧😊
A tip for snoperson building it bigger, as I come from the north. Start with a snowball and instead of packing it together to make the ball, take the snowball and roll it on the ground around and it will gather snow on the ball with its weight and eventually become bigger! Hope this helps in future snow man builds 😂 happy birthday 🎉😂
Happy Belated Birthday Cap! My was the 2nd. So glad you got the news of Brandys menorial on your Bday. What a Gift. As 1st video I watched a mth or so ago of that day. God & Angels all around You. Love to see your cooking. Happy Camping stay safe. 🙏💙
Oh my gosh! You take the ball and roll it in the snow. It picks up snow as you roll it and it gets bigger! I'm a California girl but my parents are from Ohio, that must be why I knew how to make a snowman
😊
Just really enjoy how thoughtful and real your content is and can tell that you’re a decent human being ♥️ Your cooking is very resourceful and creative. I know just by your techniques and ability to think outside the box that your food tastes amazing 🤤 Thanks for sharing your journey Mateo and Happy Birthday ♥️
HAPPY BLESSED BIRTHDAY MATEO! BE SAFE OUT THERE AND PLEASE STAY ALERT.
A suggestion for the gloves: to stop & start recording, buy a cheap pair of haptic gloves from a dollar store (the kind with the metal fibers woven into or dotted on the fingertips just so you can touch your phone), then cut the finger(s) or just the tip off & sew it to the low temp glove finger. Or you could buy a little touch screen pen (also at dollar stores). Another solution could also be to change the phone settings. If I recall correctly, there should be a way to make one of the volume buttons able to start or stop a recording, or to make it recognize when you hold your palm up for a couple seconds to signal the phone to start or stop.
I also noticed when you're making the pizza, it's the first time I've seen you edit jump cuts, cool. One way to avoid the jumpy audio those come with is to mute all but the first clip, allowing it's audio to cover them unedited, that way you get the cool cuts of making the peppers appear on the pizza but with just one audio clip that doesn't stutter.
As soon as you put spice on the snow-woman, I immediately thought "Ice Spice", so funny to hear you say it at the end, too lol.
Her name should be Cinnamon, Happy Birthday hun, May the Lord give you all your needs and most of your wants
Happy birthday young man, Prayer for a long and healthy life
. Enjoy your day🎉🎉
Happy belated birthday. Enjoy your videos, you are a good soul. Wishing you much happiness and success in 2024!
Happy birthday Mateo. Glad you had an amazing day and got to enjoy the snow!!!
I had to pause the video earlier because I was working, but make a snowball and then roll it while walking in the snow... it will pick up more and more snow and get as big as you'd like. I think the mini snowman was cute. Great job! ⛄
