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!

If you want to make pancake cleanup a lot easier, instead of mixing it in a bowl, measure out and put the mix and water into a quart sized ziplock FREEZER bag (not the thinner regular ones), zip it shut, then smoosh the bag around to mix it up. Once it is all mixed, snip off one of the bottom corners (very tiny cut to keep the hole small), then gently squeeze the batter out the hole and into your pan to cook it, kind of like using a pastry bag. Once the bag is empty, toss it in the trash.
This is awesome. I have done this for years on my canoe trips. 👍🏼
Brilliant! ❤
Great idea 👍
thanks! i love this idea, I'm going to try it later this summer when camping
Sure, lets just create more plastic pollution 'cause we are too lazy to wash a f-ing bowl. SMH
A few years back, we had a friend of ours that always called them canpakes. I've been calling them that ever since.
And Dr Seuss got me started with always saying Roast Beast as well. 😀
I have never put my maple syrup in the fridge. And yes only pure maple syrup for this gal.
Collapsible silicone bowls great for van/camper life. Also could use your shaker to mix n pour pancake batter or scrambled eggs. Just a thought. Truly enjoy your conversation and videos!!!
Also use a ziplock bag as we do when camping with just the motorcycle.
Easy storage and easy mixing up.
Again just a thought
Or a mustard/ketchup bottle
Matt, you can use milk instead of water for any pancake mix, plus you will notice that they stay softer alot longer, and then you only need to re-heat them or as I do eat them cold with strawberry jelly. Mmmmm
Because it was gross in the coffee and I wanted to enjoy my pancakes 🤣
When you made some comments when you were sorting out your cupboards I thought of your alter ego and had to laugh which was very welcome after my stressful day! Thanks Matthew and your alter ego! 😻👍🐾
I have recently been adding some oatmeal to my pancakes! Yum!!!
Once you have real maple syrup.
You will most likely never want the fake stuff ever again.
Really enjoy
Love your Content so mutch Brother, iam from Germany and Look every Video 👍👍👍 big big big thump s Up , you are so great and you give me so mutch Motivation with your Videos ❤️. And at the Moment i have a crazy Change Time in my Life too, your Videos motivated me to dont give up !!!!!!! Thank you Mathew 💯👍❤️
I do intermittent fasting too. No food after 9:00 in the evening, next meal at 12:30 the next day at lunch. Have breakfast for lunch, I do that a lot. And I do Less cooking which is great and I have lost weight! Those pancakes look great!
In Japan, people use pancake mix to make quick cakes and cookies too.
Just started this 3 weeks ago along with low/no carb days. Meal times are 12, 3, 7 pm. I have more energy. Hope you have a great weekend!
Hi Matt I like your videos you’re so much fun to watch, take care.
The science experiment reminded me of a baked pancake. To make it extra-special-awesome, add some fruit once you pour it into the pan so it bakes inside the pancake. Apple pie filling is always a favorite, or blueberries. YUM!
That's a great idea!
Banana pancakes!👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
@VanlifePLUS, I hope your back pain gets to a more manageable spot soon. Much love to you and the girls.✌🏼❤️
🥞🥞💕☘️
I want pancakes now! 😋
Sunday is my pancake day. I make extra and eat some on another day too. I usually make blueberry pancakes but if I’m out of blueberries, I make apple pancakes.
Poor Penny can't reach those treats up there. She just wants you to know.
Next time you need vanilla use some of your coffee creamer, I have used it and it works . it was very satisfying to watch you enjoy that pan cake you downed It like a boss. Hope you have a great weekend .
Love love pancakes any time of the day! I throw a little cinnamon in the pancake mix for an additional boost of taste! Now I want pancakes 🤣
I add cinnamon, too. And sometimes a little vanilla.
Hi Matt hope back feeling better soon your cats so cutie
Love that everyone wants to feed you. So sweet. X
In more ways than one thinking I am !!!! 😳
Nah it’s kind that people want to be kind
@@007nadineL well it's not your money so no worries then!😂
@@007nadineL Hmmmm🤔 It could be the way a good hearted person pays their tithes. Spreading kindness, generosity and love.....no matter what reason, they cared and shared! Hope you have a very blessed weekend!
@@007nadineL "just be positive" 😊
Really enjoyed this video!
Dang!!! You are hilarious. And love your Calico Cats❤
Someone else could probably explain it better but if your house batteries are fully charged, the charger will go into float mode. Which pulses the battery. Hence pulses everything on the system.
Matt, add cranberries and pumpkin seeds to your yogurt, it’s delicious. Feel better.
Matt the face’s you make lmao 😂.am so happy that you had pancakes came out awesome have a great weekend 🍀👍
This is absolutely hilarious. Great video as always “I can’t find a shopping list “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Matt, I hope your back issue is getting better.
I love your show because of your infectious personality and your sense of humor. You always have me giggling along to your jokes. Keep those videos coming. Looking forward to the next one.🤗🤗
Gives a whole new meaning to…. Hot pockets… that’s a cool gift… I would love to get one for myself and handicapped sister… the neat things made these days…
Hey, Matt another way we mix the pancake mix is put your dry mix in a empty water bottle or a plastic lidded shaker & add you water & shake then poor. You are just cracking me up watching you cook pancakes!!! Yum!!
Review thank you.
Sending some Paws of Love to the Girls...🐾🐾💕💕🐾🐾 😋
Seeing a lot of new names... very cool..!
You are hilariously entertaining. Thank you for sharing your day. Hope your back heals completely very soon so the leg pain will be gone. 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ ♥️
I’m going to make cancakes for breakfast now. Don’t forget to add vanilla and Pam spray to your shopping list. Hope your back feels better soon. 💛🌈🙏🏼☕️
You can use maple syrup as a substitute for vanilla
Hello from Golden British Columbia,well I am going back to the Ukraine again,they asked if I would go back,more money if I do,well I said yes,they need doctors bad,its so nice to be home though,I am so tired,so I am leaving in a week.Matt if you have nerve pain you need Gabapentin it's the best for nerve pain you need to ask your doctor it really works.Stella and Penny are so cute.Hope you get feeling better,but please ask your doctor about Gabapentin,it helped me with sciatic pain,I know what you are going through not fun.
Thank you so much your pancakes were awesome always love watching you
Matt thanks so much for making me smile loveya take care😊
You talked me into it. I'm gonna have breakfast tacos in the morning.
I did.
@@janet1744 I had more of a breakfast burrito since I had the big tortillas. 5 eggs,bacon bits and a bunch of shredded cheese and I'm good.
When times get tougher, my Grandmother was born in 1915 and made it through the Great Depression. She said they had a lot of "Johnny cakes". Flour and water pancakes with canned apples. 10 wonderful children raised in some tough times. That was in the day of hard work and self sufficiency was a must! Enjoyed your smile and sense of humor! You always make me smile!😃 Lovins for Stella and Penny!💗😺💗😸💗🤗💗...and you too Matthew! Thanks for sharing!! Have an awesome weekend!
I bought a couple of different USB-chargeable hand warmers. They're nice while they last. They have a short life span. I just put it in my pocket and switch back and forth from hand to hand when I'm using one. Once they're warmed up for a while, you can usually turn them down on low.
I use the metal ones that run on lighter fluid.
@@rouxchat6033 I saw those but felt like they might not be safe. Maybe I'm just chicken. Lol.
@freedom dove They've been around since the early 50s. The two I have were my Dad's, and I'm 73. I remember him prepping them in the morning before work. He'd go off with those (unlit as he lit them at work), a thermos full of hot coffee, and his lunch pail. Good memories. They are very efficient. I work outdoors 10 to 12 hours a day in all climates. These are far cheaper than the disposable type. Don't know about you, but every penny counts for me. Zippo makes a newer version. I think if you tried it, you'd like it. Here is a UA-cam video about them. He also explains how to put them out, saving on fuel and cooling them down after use. My dad would just wrap his tightly in foil to extinguish his. ua-cam.com/video/3d6Oo6tTJYM/v-deo.html
@@rouxchat6033 That's awesome. Thanks. 🙂
@freedom dove My pleasure Freedom Dove. Whatever type one chooses, one thing is certain. On a blustery snowy day when one must be outside, it's a small comfort like warming hands that make all the difference.
I am guessing that the pulsing is the regulator switching on/off while not using the battery to smooth output ..could be configuration of the system ...best wishes..
Well thank God I didnt send cookies. I hadnt watched this yet. Thanks Lindsay.
Ahhh yes, we just recently had cancakes in the UK, a fine food!
Looks delicious 😋 nothing wrong with breakfast in the evening 😋
My hubby's favorite for supper-Bacon, fried eggs(yellow runny, white done), biscuits and gravy, big tablespoon of jelly on the side! I like to add grits with this.😊
Thanks for the vlog- Yum, pancakes and real maple!
I look forward to watching your videos in the morning with my hot cacao and maple syrup. You put a smile on my face , make me laugh , and I carry that with me throughout the day. ThankQ so much Matthew I’m glad I found your channel 🙏💜 Sending you love and healing vibrations for your back and leg 💎.
Happy to see you feeling a little better
Now like everyone else in the comments I want pancakes ❤️
#ScienceExperiments with #VanLifePlus !!
Omggg .... the SHUSHING of the infamous Siri 🤣😆
CAN I HAVE SOME PANCAKES omg they look soooo gooood🥞💕
this is my new favourite video🫶🏽
also, I love Penny sm… shes so round I just want to squeeeeze her😭😻
Great video Matthew. Much love and hugs
I hate Siri and Alexa it is insanely frustrating for me.
You are so funny 😂😅Thank You
Pancakes looked good Matthew, hope your feeling better.
A pancake ... cake! Another original Matthew. Great video👍 ... Take care, be safe & God Bless 😇🙏
🌴... 😊😅😂🤣... choking on ramen noodles while you found your "tuct-tape" and fooling around with your "can-cakes".💚 Tnxs 4 da laffs.💙
Try putting blueberries in mix , it’s really good. Love your videos and your sense of humor is great!
That empty bowl sitting in your cupboard can be used as a temporary catch-all for other things until you need it again....no space wasted right? lol
Since you are in the van a lot more at the moment, maybe you can do some extra prep cooking, like boiling up some potatoes to fry later etc. to help avoid the fast food lane.
Have a great weekend!
So much fun as always! I applaud your efforts to organize and clean out! Not my strong point either LOL. BTW Matt, those delicious little oatmeal packets come in a low sugar version! There's a variety pack w/brown sugar, apple cinnamon and one other flavor, can't recall right now. They're just as good and less overly sweet ;-)
You had me at pancake. 🤣 Always so much fun watching. Hope the back issues get better soon. Back pain is never fun.
@@007nadineL it's a pinched nerve in lower back, upper cheek, that runs down your thigh and can hit your ankle and feels like you got hit with a sledge hammer on your outter ankle bone. Hope Matthews isn't and doesn't get this severe. SCIATICA is the medical term of this condition. Have a blessed day and weekend!
You are amazing the pancake experiments look good hope you're feeling better
I just bought the dash mini griddle for 4" pancakes, cooks 1 egg at a time in 1 minute and 30-40 seconds. Also a small lidded jug or bottle will work to mix up pancake mix and pour (like a catsup/ketchup squeeze bottle). Great show again. Happy travels.
Yes! I have the mini dash waffle maker and the mini toaster oven in my van. They are amazing !
@@mytinyjourney I want to get the mini bundt for angel food cakes. Also the pie maker for pies and pot pies. I am thinking the toaster oven would be good since my air fryer is 1100 watts.
I love the dash mini’s!!
Love watching your channel. Stay safe
Hi Matt. Cancake looked tasty. 😊
Great video, makes me think I might make pancakes tomorrow have a great night
I tried to tell you to save the measurements on the pancake box. Take a photo of the box next time you go shopping. ❤
That’s what I was going to say.
I have been known to cut instructions out of the box and tape it to the outside of the container
@@christinamann3640 me too
You made me hungry! It has to be pure maple syrup (and I’m not Canadian)!
When you didn't have any more vanilla extract, I was thinking open one of the Peaches & Cream Oatmeal and add it to the pancake batter. =)
You sir have made my evening!
First timer from NJ
Thank you for the much needed laughter.
Hi Matthew, Stella and Penny, i always enjoy watching you, i really hope the chiropractor appointments are helping your back as it is no fun being in pain.
Hi Matt love your videos 💖
Hi matt love your bed hope it's comfortable for you and your back gets better xx
What be the troubles this week my friend. Hopefully that engine noise is minor.
More often than not a terrible noise can be caused by something as simple as a $15 pulley. Best of luck.
God speed ✊🏻
Thanks for the laughs while you made your pancakes 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Never tried vanilla in pancakes but I do put cinnamon in my mix.
Opens the cupboard- “OH. MY. GOD.” Man, do I ever know that feeling. 😆
Hi Sherri here. I sent the hand warmer. I use it in a variety of ways. You can hold it. cupping in both hands. switch hands or slip in pocket. I also use it in my sleeping bag. I move it along the length of the bag to warm it up before I slip inside. Works on beds too. LOL I have asthma and sometimes slip in just over my chest to ease the cold air. It should be chargeable and have a cord. I am USA so it is different from what I use but close. Good luck and no youtube watcher is not my actual last name. rofl.
😆 thank you again Sherri!
@@VanlifePLUS I know 2 things you can hold in your hands to keep them warm but I guess you can't put them in your gloves!🤪🤣
Good job on the pancakes . Be sure to store that Maple syrup upright, van city van life laid his down, the lid came off and went all over his van . I enjoy your videos, enjoy your day.
Ah yes, the Maple Syrup Moment. Then there was the Egg Incident. He never cried over spilled milk, but that fancy tequila…😂 van food always has the biggest messes.
Going to make cancakes this weekend! Had a great time watching you eat a huge pancake in 4 seconds 😂 feel better buddy👍
Thank you, Matthew. Good vlog.
Probably a good idea to do a Spring clean Matt 🤣
Them pancake’s made me hungry 😂
Just have to chuckle...all the way through!
I agree 100% vanilla is wonderful in pancakes and french toast. I like to add a lot of cinnamon too.
Nicely done! Now I want pancakes. I’m more of a crepe type myself but never turned down a regular pancake either.
Top Tip m; when the butter is too cold/hard to spread hit it up on the cheese grater - the little pieces melt almost instantly. 👍🏻
Those pancakes looked delicious! Have a great day Matthew! 😊
My son loves that coffee whitener, but since he's a type 1 diabetic... I'm glad the new bed is starting to work out for you. I think it'll take a little bit to get used to, but once you do I'm sure your back is going to thank you.
I like to add some diced apple into my yoghurt and Harvest Crunch. It is also good when you let the mixture sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, the cereal gets softer. I usually get the Original or Canadian Maple, but I found some Dark Chocolate, Cranberry and Almond that I am looking forward to trying.
Well now I want pancakes! 😋
The real question, what will that cupboard look like next week?
You can never go wrong with pancakes, but personally waffles are my favorite..
Dang now I'm hungry for some. lol
Oh, Mathew! Now I want pancakes 🥞!! And I'm watching This st 8 pm! Have to wait until tm morning, but def gonna happen!! Lol! Dont forget also to get a new c/o detector asap! I didn't see if you did already, but, just saying, it's easy to let things get away from you, daily, ya know! Anyways, safe travels, kisses to Stella & Penny, sooo adorable!!! as usual!! See you in next vid.!! 🤗🙏🏻

🚐 Hey Matt, Great to see you man, i hope all is well. Love the Kitties :) Thanks for sharing your vanlife adventure sir :)
A couple of helpful hints…..when you open something, eg pancake mix container, close when finish measuring amount….always take stuff out of cardboard or plastic bags, put in hard containers…..
Mice families love plastic bags, cardboard and anything they can chew…
There must be something going around with pain... my back has been hurting since last sunday... Not as bad as yours, but damn hard to move lol
Mine flared 3 weeks ago. I'm blaming it on the nutty weather changes. Warm one day, freezing the next, then tornado warning amid thunderstorm in Feb. for Pete's sake!
You could put your "can cake" mix in a zip lock bag, and keep that bag in your new bowl to create more space. The cookies will store in zip lock bags too to save space. How did the heat blowing under your bed work out? Did you stay warmer while sleeping?
That’s not why I ran the heat under the bed Lisa, stay tuned! 😉
Enjoy your storyline.. phh.. i mean life 🤣
Now I have seen the best… cooking with Matt!!!
Sorry about the van noise. Hope you are able to fix it soon.
Fun pancake video! I always clip the recipe off the box and keep it with the mix. I love pancakes and agree that you must have pure maple syrup. It is expensive, but it keeps me from using too much -- a good thing.
You should try adding some craisins (dried cranberries) and chopped walnuts to that pancake mix. Then top with butter and the real Maple syrup....mmmmm! 🤗 That is some good pancakes too!!
