- City Vanlife during one of the windiest days so far in Calgary, Alberta. Because of that, THIS kept me awake all night - so when I woke up I knew I had to make a change because this was UNACCEPTABLE!

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!

Space between the doors = vestibule
You know you are talented when you keep people entertained by watching a flag be mounted! 🤣🤣👏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Anyone else yell ZIP TIES at their screen as he was listing what he needed the first time?
Yep Every time. We need to post Matthew Zip ties. I am looking for fluro ones lol
Lol...I was yelling magnet hooks and a little felt, for the outside of his van for cooking utensils.
Vestibule. The space between the doors.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I need an adult" 🤣🤣🤣 Thx for the most entertaining flag pole install video Ive ever watched Matthew🙌
Matthew, Master of Mayhem and Madness!!!
I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy your vlogs!!
I really misss hearing Penny meow since you got the new mic. you should go back to the old one, her meows are the best.
Sounds more muffled when you use new mic, not stopping me from watching though 😊
Indeed I’m not a fan of this Mike. I have to turn my sound way up.
@mytinyjourney I have the same problem too
.
You can make any situation hilarious! Love your sense of humor! 😹
He should be on stage !!!!
.
.
Matthew doesn’t put the things away when he is done, so when he needs to find things, it spoils all of his fun. He is so very funny, when he makes a funny face. He lives a nice existence in his Lucky and his Grace.
Typical man my husband never puts his tools away and then the little sucker thinks I moved them
He could do cartoon voice overs too

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤QUALITY CONTENT WITH THE WIND HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN😂😂😂😂😂😂
That theme music was amazing. You are such a character! Penny seemed nonplussed with the wind, as she is.
Haha Matthew quote “and believe it or not, the world is filled with …… douche bags!”. Ahhh the nostalgia - haven’t that term since the 80’s. 😂😂😂😂
Cannot watch without Penny's raspy miaows! She's the 🌟
Nice to see the good ship Lucky flying all flags again🏴☠️🍀🏴☠️🍀🏴☠️🍀🏴☠️🍀🏴☠️🍀🏴☠️🍀
👍🚐🍀🏴☠️🎉
Sick in bed and a new VanlifePlus drops. Not a bad way to spend some time in bed
Hope you feel better soon dude 👊
Get well soon Joseph!😊
Vestibule- an antechamber, hall, or lobby next to the outer door of a building.🥰
I came to say this but you beat me. And I choose to remain silent on all the tip, rod, shaft and girth content in this video.😂
@@mytinyjourney 🤣😂
Also foyer
Doing notes while watching a video. Only a Vanlife Plus video can make that chore bearable.
Medical?
@@007nadineL Psychotherapist
And Lindsey!!! Love the relationship you two have, share. 😊
Seriously Matthew, you KNOW all that sugar is lousy for you !!! ❤
People probably look at you in the wind trying to put flags up and say what is wrong with that crazy man 😂
New drinking game, every time Matthew says "Shaft" take a drink.😂
I'm down for that game!
1) Who names a store Rona -after 2020?
2) Flags would look cool mounted on all 4 sides to the ladder
I am finishing the ceiling studs in my van! I gotta head to the blue store for more 1 by 4s for the walls 🙏
Matthew,Matthew,you kill me. Love ya man!!Have great days ahead ….
26:23 >>> yes, yes, exactly! woohoo!! 🤣
Vestibule!
I can't help myself, I got to tell you: You should have cut the tape at an angle and it would have went down the shaft on the same angle. And you could have just stapled the flag to the shaft if it still wouldn't slide down over the tape. And I still miss Penny meowing. Lol 😂🤣
You snuck in early, you little devil🤣😂
I’m laughing so much that I’m crying! This video is so much fun, especially when you couldn’t close the door! 😂
Me too on Pennys Meow.
Hello Matthew and Miss Penny❤.Ya have a Blessed Good Morning.Have a wonderful Blessed Day.Love ya both❤.
"What's happening?!" I snort laughed 🤣😜
LOL! ...this was HILARIOUS, for sure!😆🤣😄😂
The flags got mounted. I like the new spot!!
I know, I often forget to put things back in their exact _spot_ . Then I can’t find them either.
_Drat!_
You almost have to be manic about it
Not the Wild-Kind-Of-Night you want LOL! OMG that was so hilarious I could feel your frustration with the insane wind LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Why I miss city sometimes
Tack!
Thanks you very much!
Wow those bowls have need GREAT ‼️‼️
Awesome video
Maybe put Velcro or rubber bands to hold the flag to its mount whenever it’s windy to keep it from flapping around. Just something I’d do if I had that issue.
You may have already thought of this. But when your flags are blowing in the wind take and roll them up on the stick and wrap a couple of hair ties or rubber bands around them that way the wind can't catch them. Just a thought
TheLeopardgirl...thank you my friend. And BLESSINGS from Puerto Rico.
💜💜💜
Good stuff 🍀👍🏼🤣🩵💚🎥💙💜🍀🌬️🌬️🏴☠️🏴☠️🎶🎶👌
I make rings too love yours I put saying on them
Hey Matthew and Penny
thanks..
The plus side to your sleep disturbance is an earlier than usual video. 😊
"I'll get you my pretty and your little kitty too." Love the "We aren't in Kansas" comment Matthew. lol
To be continued are becoming three words to look forward to. 😊
Feel like I'm watching Laurel and Hardy with one man doing both parts...Lol!
You van da bond .. flags flappy anyway .. lets go Me plus .. live stream long .. well only watch it .. with shorts on .. I mean short viewing 😅 .. are we there yet .. 😂
'Let's get Mikey, he'll eat anything'... I sure laughed at the cereal scene! Well done, Matthew. Much love and hugs
The pirate flag episode 😂😂😂
Great video. I kept laughing for sure, just what I needed thankyou xx
🏴☠ LOL Matthew, i would have got up and removed it in the dark lol. Great video as always sir. Make sure you have clearance for drive thru, jk lol.
I know that sound. I have a flag at the front of my trailer. I just got used to the notice lol.
🤣🤣🌬️💨💨Now you know what it’s like during a Tropical Storm in Florida 🌴🙋🏼♀️😘
The term you were looking for is "vestibule ".
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 early today!!
Matthew working on BC time again lol
Omg I laughed so hard 💨 🌬️
Vestibule. The space between the doors
I laughed way too hard at this one, for sure!
Matthew you need to attach your flag up on your tyre storage.
Ur like Jim carry love it I needed to laugh
You are so entertaining 😂
Yes
GOOD one, Matthew! ...had me laughing out loud!😆🤣😄😂. It's GREAT to see Lucky 2.0 sporting her 'sails' again!👍🚐🍀🏴☠️. Thank U for the smile, hello to PRETTY Penny🐱 ...and DEFINITELY looking forward to part two!?🤔🤨🤗🎉
Pole or stick Matthew....not shaft. Although great late night drinking live game xx
Now Lucky looks like a real pirate ship!!! I think you need a flag for Grace too! Each ship in the armada needs a flag...just saying 🏴☠
Breezeway
Put the flags on the ladder
Hello Matthew and Penny! 😄😄😄 Try using a rubber and on the flag. Roll it up and secure it.
Love it!
Hi hun
Mathew your early today. Usually its 7:45 pm but today was 6:45 pm..thats ok ill watch no matter what time is. ❤
As you say “Quailty content” your vlogs never get boring, always fun to watch them! The editing is always awesome! Do you have a backup for whenever your vehicle drop off point gets you a note on the window? Has that ever happened to you the “infamous note” on the window? Loving the videos.
I haven't laughed 🤣 so much at you trying to put those flags up in that crazy wind you really made my day 😊 Thanks for sharing ❤😊
Entryway? Foyer? Space between the doors also works.
I sleep thru sirens, gun shots, loud engines, and loud music. Whilst sleeping the front seat of my suv.
Wow that reminds me of the crave cereal that my mom used to like...at least it was filled with chocolate 🍫 😂
Ahhhhhhh yes the perfect length video! Yes, that’s what she said, 28 minutes!!
Honestly luv the look of the van with the paint job finished.
Nice to be outta the snow eh
Very colorful breakfast.
It is so fun to watch your videos. Very entertaining. It's YT'bers like you that definitely make getting rid of my T a good idea. I love watching your channel and you especially as a comedian. Thanks.
just take the flags off and put them under your mattress til spring
Hi Mart and Penny, Ray from Wisconsin here!!
Liking the two-part videos.
Where is your water/windshield vacuum, to take care of the accumulated water? 😜
Love the dew hair lol
Good one
Hello from Maryland, USA.
Hint wind up flag and put and elastic band around it to keep it from flapping in high winds while you sleep.😊❤
You was really committed to those flags on such a windy day
Love those kind shoes
“Air Lock” = Space Between The Doors. 🙂
😂 Sorry Matthew got to call you out; you are way off on your count of reasons to use the Leatherman unless you've been quite busy with it. 79 to 493 🤔. Everybody just calm down I know it's just an expression. Just saying as you called me out on not noticing the emergency TACO seasoning
Much love 🤗 🤗
Maybe you could mount the flag to the ladder?
That’s where it was and causing all the noise
😂😂😂😂😂
That ballcap has no idea its about to be in competition with 10 other hats *cries in hat* :P loving the pillow fort you can make with your collection. Must...add...MOAR. As well as more funnels
Hi sweetie, I hope your job is going well and you're making lots of money, well with tips maybe. I used to be a chambermaid so I get you! Don't let the housekeeper get to the tips before you!😂 Anyway get your ass back to Calgary, I'm sure there must be lots of hotels jobs there?😊
@@TheLeopardGirl Hey LG! ahahha I love the word chambermaid. Makes it seem so much cooler. Thats cool that you used to work in the cleaning world. Super fun stuff amiright? **cries** The shit you see sometimes lmao. I actually make very little tips BUT I am making more money here than when I wasn't working so thats a plus ;P And yeah I am trying to make steps to getting back to Calgary. I miss being there lots. Hope you are well!!
Still going to see you at the end of June, right?!?!? I did get a few more funnels...I know he is gettin low...LOL
You make me laugh thank you! Perhaps stapling the flags to the dowell would hold it more secure? Just a thought. Keep on vlogging!
Did you forget your wooden dowels are made out of WOOD? Why did you zip-tie the flags to it, when a couple of small screws through the cloth and into the wood, would probably hold much more securely? Also, on a high wind night, just wrap the flags around the dowels and stick rubber bands or a couple of Brooklyn's hair ties over them to keep them rolled up while you sleep.
