If only mare would let him back in the house, hope the heater gets fixed 😂
Or is mere wondering when he's gonna come stay in the house again 😅
Yep for sure him and mare are having problems. 😂
@@vbtbmrt4394well he's not dating a horse so not sure how him and a mare can have problems
true love prevails. mere will accept that matt and donut are meant for each other.
You know Matt’s in the doghouse when we get back to back camping videos.
Hey Matt, I don't know how feasible this would be, but maybe you could use your drone with the thermal imaging camera to look for caves at cold winter nights. Warm air could be escaping from the cave entrances and the camera could potentially detect that.
It'll find EVERY above ground animal as well.
Good idea!
Jim, he's tried using thermal to look for the bear.
Have you considered slavery
Given the desire to make things liability safe'ish for guests, finding the caves(best found peak Winter) this is the way to go. And as mentioned, find those warm blooded creatures sharing your ranch.
By the way, I was one of the people that mentioned making a ranch branded high end vinegar from all that wine. Was curious if that ended up being viable? I think small tobasco size bottles would be a great novelty item to sell.
I was wondering if that would work
Hey Matt, I just lost my best friend an 8 yo White Shepherd named Bobby, on 1/18/24, and I've been feeling down in the dumps for the past few days. Your videos are helping me take my mind off of my pain, thank you.
I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing Bobby with us. I know my words won't take away the pain you feel but I just wanted to tell you that.
"Everything ten times more expensive..." remembering the first video with Mere and her wine glasses over her shoulder. 😄
It's looking pretty squachy in those woods... bigfoot lerks about... 😊
The financial conversation was the best advice Matt has ever given. You can tell he has read his copy of "12 Rules For Life" more than once.
I laugh to my self everytime I think about I think about that
"...more expensive..." Thanks, dems! HEY, WHERE'S BEAR DUCK?!?!? HE can protect you in dem dere woods!!!! 😂
@@larrydixon-vi7ld your typing even has a stutter. 😂
Would love to hear the skiff knife story. I kinda figured it was a problem with lunker's. His interests change all the time. Remember that gun company he worked with also.
Came here for this! 🎉
Im not sure exactly why he sold it but i do remember him making a little apology video about the prices and offering refunds or something. Something about they were told the steel in the blades were much better than they actually were and the prices they were charging turned out to be a little high after people let them know that the blades were made of cheaper steel. I dont know if that had anything to do with him selling it but it could have been a factor. I bought one and i still carry it, its been a solid knife.
Please I have been trying to figure this out for a while
F1 firearms
@@Alanb6 yea Matt did a collaboration with F1 years ago for a demo ranch ar. But f1 sold and changed there name a year ago. No I'm talking about the rifle company lunkers was working with. The guy has more business ideas, partners, than any other you Tuber I follow. Btw bring back that custom demo ranch ar. I'm sure psa and demo could make a sweet pew pew.
I love the little matt talks that you do with us about life. I was given the same advice when I was younger and now I'm 26 and debt free.
One key to cold weather camping is changing into all fresh clothes before getting into your sleeping bag. It may seem cold at first, but you don’t realize how much sweat/moisture is in your clothes until it freezes you at night.
Tell us the Skiff story pretty please 😊
Thanks so much for the financial encouragement. I'm in my early 30s and I'm living in my camper so i can save and build a house debt free. Love your channel!
if you’ve never been introduced to Dave Ramsey before, I also recommend his advice. Go to the website and look at his simple plan. It has worked for hundreds of thousands, including Dave Ramsey himself. stick with it, sir.
My wife and I did that. Lived in a tiny camper for 5 years. Built our first house debt free. We still own that house and we have now worked up to owning our dream property! It’s worth the sacrifice
Thats the right mind set
I'm in my 40s and owned my house out right by 37 with 2 kids the key was no new toys or cars on credit and never spend what I don't have
Just wondered, do you watch the Bushradical channel at all? He has a fair few videos about that topic, also covering financial issues. A book he recommends is, "How to Build a House", by Larry Haun. Best wishes for your build venture!
@@mapesdhs597 Yes I do!
Matt, I really enjoy those talks when you’re giving us life advice. My dad passed away when I was 16 and you’re someone I want to be like in the future. That talk was SUSPICIOUSLY close to exactly what I needed to hear right now
Hey Matt, Airstream owner here. I'm sure this comment will never get read, but just in case. And I'm making some guesses about your heater problem, so I could be wrong. But hopefully you see this and it helps you.
You mentioned thinking you need a generator to heat the trailer, which makes me wonder if by chance you didn't know you have two heating systems on your rig: the heat pump/AC unit on the roof (definitely needs a generator or shore power, and is only efficient in heat mode down to about 45 degrees outside), and the propane furnace (will run off of your battery just fine- only needs electricity for the igniter and fan, which are 12 volt. obviously you also need propane). Off grid and in low temps like that, you'll definitely want to use the propane furnace. The dometic thermostats on the trailers are terrible and really hard to use. So I also wonder if you weren't able to navigate to the propane furnace using the thermostat and thus never tried turning on the furnace.
If you were able to turn the propane furnace on, you would have felt air coming through the vents that are on the wall close to the floor (round , usually with black louvered openings). If you felt air for a minute or so, and then the thing turned itself off before getting warm, then it is probably a clogged sail switch. the furnace will start blowing cold air first, and then it will ignite. The air has to flow first to avoid igniting with no air flow (would melt your furnace down and cause a fire). So the sail switch sits in the path of the airflow. It's a lightweight flappy thing that will actuate the switch if it moves. Sometimes dog hair, dust, or whatever can cause that switch to now throw as far as it needs to. So your furnace might think air isn't flowing even if it is. Easy procedure to clean it. Ours stopped working on our brand new trailer after a few trips, and I was shocked that only like 5-10 dog hairs were enough to cause a malfunction. Here's a good video: ua-cam.com/video/YoLovqHjYGQ/v-deo.html
Also, one really handy upgrade is the MicroAir easytouch thermostat. Super easy touch screen- your guests will have an easier time figuring out how to operate one of those. It also has bluetooth and wifi.
Hopefully this helped!
Spill the tea mat spill the teaaaa 😂😂😂
Well Matt now I need to know the story about the knives!!!
Me also as I bought one on his say so...no problems with it yet but still....
He had a video about it. Don't know if it's still out there. He had a UA-cam partner that I won't name but you don't see them together anymore. Ever. Even if there's a fire. In all seriousness I wonder if the partner had something to do with it. Just not the kinda guy you wanna do business with. Then again this is all theoretical
i guess the part of it is that it was made in Ukraine.
I think Rob messed him around on the knives. Matt ended up apologising over the price. He never had Lunckers on the ranch again. A shame as the were great buddies and very entertaining to watch.
@@danielmcallister5892while Matt hasn’t done a video with the business partner you’re talking about. I personally had good customer service when I got a hoodie from the business partner. The problem with the knives is that the quality wasn’t worth the price neither matt or the partner knew about it till too late if I remember right. Honestly the skifs look like shirogorov knockoffs.
I love how this financial responsibility video turned into a sales pitch for more stuff you don't need
Coulda been worse, coulda been a 30 minute advertisement like Dave Sparks’ videos.
I love how it’s a financial sense video, yet an airstream that’s been in the shop for three months and it needs to go back to the shop for probably another three months.
@@nathangee7075 That name sounds so familiar...Dave Sparks...who is that guy?
I've been wondering about the Lunkers/Skiff thing myself.
I love these videos. it feels like the old Matt again. 👍👍
Remember what he say. Do you ACTUALY need it?
Need to get that disc golf course in order and opened!
You got that right!! You could put an amazing course on that property!!
Great advice Matt and it’s been awesome watching you grow, couldn’t think of a better person for it to happen to you definitely earned it
Dude! When you first bought the ranch, you talked about Dave. That’s what got me on the path and I’m following the baby steps. Thank you for sharing this, your influence changed my life ❤
You should install yurts on top of wood decks for all your guests to stay in at Fort Carriker, it'd be much cheaper, and much faster to build too! you could get Fort Carriker up and running in less than a year. 👍
Good idea.
What's even cheaper is to just mark out spots for tent & RV camping. All you'd need to do is level the ground (if needed) put a picnic bench and fire ring in each spot and you're good to go. Thats even faster and cheaper than laying out wood decks and building yurts.
As a RV Tech, make sure your fuse isn't blown to the furnace, and if it is good. you can try and hit the blower case of the furnace and see if it kicks on. if it does it could be a stuck Sail switch.
also that thermostat is a two zone system make sure its on zone 1 when calling for heat. or even see if the A/C is a heatpump if there's a electric heat option.
True but nine times out of ten it is a mud dauber nest inside the manifold.
@@LarpMasterFlex as you might be correct for the nest. Its not going to stop the furnace from turning on and blower spinning.
You know what's way harder than spending below your means? Getting out of debt. You're a good man Matt.
My daddy taught me that you sell a little bit of your future every time you sign your name to a debt, so I was always terrified to finance anything. My only option was save. And I thank God.
My friends all had mortgages, my wife and I lived in a camper so we could buy land. And I built my own house. You can't secure a legacy if you owe some mortgage company your soul.
@@jacktheaviator4938mort-gage translates to death contract.
Yes, very intrigued of what happened to Skif. I still use mine all the time, such a great blade!
The airstreams have a really shotty heater design. There is a small switch that has to be cleaned out every couple of days to kick it on and work fully. Ask YT - Nomadic Movement, same issues
I came here to write this exact comment 😁
@@rebekkahmartin9426 ayyy!!
The spark arrestor. It gets fouled with carbon and needs a wire brush.
Is it a propane furnace?
Get a trumatic installed. Pulls air from the outside, exhaust is on the outside,heat goes inside
Matt time to set trail cams up. Let’s see what’s roaming round at night. And good point never spend more then you make. Dave is the man.
More about the Skiff knives please
Awesome video as always 👌
Yes Matt great advice! My wife and I went through financial peace university and it was a huge help to our finance goals and visions!
I love the 1 on 1 videos Matt, great dad advice. My father wasn't in my life and my mother never planned for the future with finances or anything like that, so I am learning as I go how to be frugal and invest on my own. I always like taking advice from people that don't make a living off of giving financial advice. It seems more genuine than those financial gurus on youtube.
He’s so right too. We lived like this and it becomes such a habit and so normal you don’t even mind it and then one day you realise you’ve saved a decent amount and can start to do the important things. Listen to Matt!
Here comes all the speculations of Matt an Mere having problems, and that's why Matt is camping...
haha 2 in a row!!!
@@OffTheRanch, yup, they'll be pouring in! Lol
Matt should start the next video on this channel in a furniture shop testing out which couch is comfiest to sleep on and then just move onto the next scene without ever referencing or explaining the first scene.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was about to to say the same thing
Really appreciate the advice Matt this was definitely something I needed to hear today, thank you for all your time and encouragement you have given me these past few years through your videos. Stay blessed.
Cant wait to come to the ranch. Really needed dad matt today though so thanks for your timing
@Matt Carriker....you really need to get that berm either seeded or sprayed....I see gullies forming very quickly...
Seeds don't grow in freezing temps.
@@omnomshibob have you seen what that spray on stuff does?.... I did roadworks for twenty years and the landscapers sprayed in all temps...and within a few weeks all was green and growing...
@@omnomshibob ...and have you heard of a band called "the wonder stuff"..?.... well...weirdly... this stuff is "The Wonder Stuff".!..
@@omnomshibobrye grass grows awesome in the cold.
@@JoeMarcello123 cold as in literally freezing cold, or cold as in a bit chilly?
Feeding the rumor that you and Mere are separated...camping on the ranch, "For content." 😂😂
haha probably shouldnt have done 2 videos in a row
Your not a regular r u He said he isn’t going to put the kids on film any more to let them be kids off channel. Mere is with kids usually JT HEY MATT did I get that about right.
Love the camping videos bro! Thanks for all the great content
Hey Matt thanks for the advice i really needed to hear that
Congratulations to Linc again on the buck! So proud of him for getting it done! My daughters not into hunting so much but i hope to have a little boy soon and have a little hunting buddy! Love the content Matt! Keep it up!
I truly appreciate and enjoy your videos, all of them, how many acres is your ranch again? BTW Ilive in southern California and have a bunch of medical problems so watching all your channels makes me happy and truly look forward to all the content you&your pew-pew friends put out. Thanks for all the ENTERTAINMENT.
approx 400 acres
We really love your camping videos, hope to see more!
Appreciate you for speaking on finances and the process and the journey
As soon as you get everything going I plan on making a trip from Spokane Washington to come camp out there or stay out there I love this project and this series so much! You have done great work with the property I own a big property too well partial owner One of the old Kaiser aluminum plants in Spokane So I know the feeling of putting hard work in to make something shine again that was forgotten about!
So neat to see a comment from someone from Spokane! I was born and raised in Spokane and I still enjoy it here. Lots of places to adventure!
@@BaumOutdoors same born & raised moved to Tyler,TX for a bit but missed Spokane. Only thing I am sad about is the rampant tweaker problem.
@@Spokaneexploration ya it’s getting worse. Probably will never get better either lol
@@SpokaneexplorationThat Is A Leftist-Deep State Problem...Not A Meth Or The Tweakers That Use It Problem...Your City Is communist Occupied Territory...😶🧂
I'm feeling the same way about WA as a whole. I lived in Spokane during college and am now in Quincy, but I'm pretty sure I'll be moving out of state in the next 5-10 years.
Matt, when you say you are going to camp by roughing it, YOU MEAN IT ! You the man!
You did that with a skiff!!! If you don't want it anymore I'll take it lol
I love when you two are together!! Love both of your videos
Matt, let’s see some fishing and catch and cook on here!! I’d love to see you solo camp and do survival-ish things.
Matt is a urban cowboy.
Besides there's no fish in that river. It was bone dry couple months ago. Wanta see catch clean and cook go to dear meat for dinner you tube. All the ccc all you want.
He could easily catch and cook that duck. Lol. Just kidding.
@@David-qx8jmor his brothers channel Blue Gabe !
@@David-qx8jmFlair is also a good one for catch clean cooks
It would great to see some metal detecting UA-camrs go over the land once or twice who knows what could of happened on that land over the years
that would be awesome
I know there's at least 900 pounds of lead in the berm
All they are going to find is brass now after that giant gun tuber event
This is an amazing idea! I'd watch that. Who knows what you might find
That would make an awesome relaunch for my channel.
Good to see Linc with new stuff, hadn't seen y'all talk to much about it after cleaning out the storage container.
Hi Matt, Thanks for working so hard!
Started watching Matt cause I love guns but I almost like this Chan more. Matts such an awesome dude. I wud love to pic his brain. Love this guy ❤
Bucket list place to visit. Love the content.
So proud of how far this channel has come ❤love you Matt
Always love when Matt hits us with some wisdom! Thanks for the financial advice.
Mat, that is excellent advice for the young viewers
You should put a large container at the range that could be a storage and little store front to sale drinks and ammo during events.
Thanks Matt, you always make my day better brother.
Don’t feel bad Matt, when my wife and kids left me and took everything I owned I also went “camping for fun” a lot too…
🤣😝I hope you and the fam had a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year’s! Thanks for the awesome content, I love YOU and I’ll c you next time🫶!!
i can’t believe it! you and mare were doing so well. now, she’s leaving you out to freeze!? i’m so sorry. i have an extra room in NY if you need it.
Sht right now it’s warmer run NY too
Need a story about skiff knives
Just before I watched this I watched the vid about how Matt became a yt superstar. What a surprise to hear him preaching Dave Ramsey on this one! Go Matt!
loving these videos
Hay Matt, it's 70 degrees' here in Kingman, Arizona. Have fun in the ICE WEATHER. hehehe.
8:18 great life advice by Matt!!-) absolutely true
The way that you said that life advice was incredible and even though i know it, I NEEDED to hear it.
Matt and Cody testing the RV life, gotta love it!
I hope yall plan on being open in the winter so those of us from up north that cant handle the summer heat in texas too. Word of advice for the camper get some wood blocks to put under the stabilizer jacks so they dont sink in the ground.
Great video, Matt...always enjoy your content. Keep one thing in mind though...your financial success doesn't always extend to everyone, Dave Ramsey's advice or not. Example: 30 years ago I was involved in a motorcycle wreck, and my medical bills were ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS more than my insurance covered. So all those twenties you spoke of...went towards those medical bills, and then oops, the water heater blows up. Oops, the furnace takes a dump. Surprise, surprise, the transmission in the car begins to slip. Gosh, you must have heat and hot water, right? Gotta have transportation, right? So you put those expenses on the credit card or take out a loan, or both. It's your only way out. Then slowly but surely, everything begins to unwind, advancing age becomes your enemy, and your financial "security" transforms into your financial nightmare.
Id love to spend less then i make, unfortunately thats impossible with our current administration effing everything up. Rent has gone up 20%, food, fuel hell even my kids toys and clothes. Still good advice though. God bless the USA
It'd be a lot better without living expenses being double or triple for the last 3 years.
@@Trump2024M nice Jeep
@ethan7353 ty, it's a 2016 and I can barely afford it
its the mindset that counts. i have listened to ramsey a lot. but i do keep a credit card (keep balance low) because these days you just have too.
Love the video!! Get lost properly....take a compass, some snacks, and something to drink. A couple of buddies would be good too! Stay warm! We have cold and snow in VA right now!
I just wanna say.. the little talks about wellbeing and finacial advice is honestly my favortie part of watching your content. Im sure Im not alone when I say thank you for your advise and I am one person who has heard it and it has changed my life. Thanks bro and keep up the amazing work!
Matt, do not spend more than you make. Do not take that 20 dollars and buy that dinner. Also, Matt buy, some clothes 😂
You still need clothes......Just when you can afford them, helps that Matt puts them on sale .
“Spend less than you make”
Solid advise 5 years ago….
Now everything cost more than you make.
If it costs more than you make then the same premise stands true. You can't afford to buy it.
@@brians48now so people should stop buying food ? got it. thanks for the tip
Is that what I said? Have your Mommy read it to you and explain it seeing as you clearly can't.@@aiwoor
I would recommend a small shop on the resort of you haven't already thought of it with just some common necessities such as toothpaste, batteries and soap ext.
Loved your video Ramsey is great. The inside of your airstream reminded me of the old airstream my grandfather, and I would use for hunting. It was amazing to me as well when I discovered as a young man how the ice crystals formed like they did on the inside of our trailer. Best to your family
I still carry and use my skif knife all the time, I wondered what happened. Love the content
I just assumed Skif wasn't as profitable as they thought it would be, especially after the price adjustments.
@@aq4316 I thought he did a video on it a long time ago but I can't remember if they gave a reason ( demo and lunkers)
Matt, thank you so much for the message in this video!!!! Much appreciated!!! We young ppl need it!!!
Great advice! Love your videos. 😊
That was fun to watch, keep it up.
Holy crap! He mentioned Skiff!
Skif story please Matt!!
And what happened to Lunkers?
@@Jack102498He's still doing his thing. And has a newborn
@@stuwelsh6339”doing this thing” yeah, attempting to scam another business partner and screw everything up within 6 months like he’s done numerous times? He’s a stand up guy!
@@stuwelsh6339 Yeah, I know he's still around doing his own thing. My question was more about why he hasn't appeared with Matt. He was a semi regular for a while.
Hey Matt your furnace should work without shore power, they do drain batteries pretty fast but it should last long enough to get you through the night. Your camper may also have a heat pump built into the a/c unit that does require shore power. Make sure your thermostat is turned up and on the right zone.
I’m guessing the propane wasn’t turned on.
It's wonderful watching your UA-cam channel - you gave fantastic financial advise - well done
I have an 83'- 32' airstream I lived in for 3 yrs in N. Idaho, no utilities for a good part of that time. Had to run electricity to the property. Bought a lot of water jugs. One battery. Filled my propane tanks but never used them as I didn't know how, never camped in a trailer before. Saw my breathe inside during winter. I've since moved to town & will be selling my airstream. As a 72 yr old woman, I don't regret those cold 3 yrs, rather enjoyed being by myself, just needed to be closer to town for Drs & shopping.
Lol, have you seen campsites set up of only airstreams?
Maybe try EcoFlow solar generators for quiet & no gas.
Tell us the story about SKIF knives!
Can't say this enough . Thank you for the dad advice . I'm always in need of
lol it’s a Demo and Donut video it’s awesome love it that’s a little nuts and to cold
Good job Mere for making warm clothes that work
Tell us about skiff!! Still have mine with the box signed by you and rob.
He doesn't talk Rob on here haven't you noticed. Look for a old video he talked about a bad business partnership in the past
@@justinluke7210 yes I noticed that also
I always wondered what happened to Matt and Lunkers, judging by the skiff knife comment something went bad between them?
Matt, you and your family and friends have done an amazing job on the property so far👌
Hopefully one day my boy's and I can come from Downunder to the States for a great holiday and check out some great places including yours👍
Great advice. Struggling with debt myself, and trying the UA-cam game, so this might help me in my future!
Matt we need more Demo and an update on Frag the armadillo lol
It's Official, Mer Kicked Matt Out of The House! LOL
I would love to go camping with you during a severe storm or some crazy weather lmao. I love your attitude regarding crazy activities XD
The channel that never disappoints. From abandoned house, to ranch, to financial advice, cars, pew’s and more
Matt you need to tell the story in the skif knifes I have wanted to know what happens for soo long and your teasing use now saying it’s interesting
@offtheranch how do we stay in the loop about the solar eclipse campout? My wife and I would love to come down and camp.
Can't wait to see Rob (lunkertv) on the range , those 2 hanging out was the best
Speaking of skiff knives...😬
Matt hittin' us with that solid dad advice🔥🔥🔥🔥
I so hope that people actually listen to your financial advice. It is good to see a young youtube influencer providing good life advice! I heard it all from my father when I was young and from my previous boss Ross Perot and failed to listen and went down that credit path. Thankfully the best thing that came from my failure was being able to teach my children what not to do and so far they seem to be following the right path. Keep up the good work!
You should plan on doing full set ups with campers and rvs it’s a bummer when they don’t have full setups
I got my dad and brother skiff knives for Christmas years ago, still the knives they use to this day
marvelous episode!
