Boom!!

Mateo you can drop random content like this and we’d still watch. It isn’t about your van, or not even necessarily what you do. Just being the positive ole Mateo we know is enough for us to continue to watch. The kind of calmness your videos radiate is infectious. Keep doing your thing my man, and thank you.

Mateo, you dont have to explain why you make your choices, although it is considerate of you. I do appreciate the fact that you feel good to choose you and whats making you comfortable. If anything, that is what we would want for you, is to enjoy your experiences that you share and be relaxed to be ypu. Im excited to see you enjoy being you with no restrictions. Thankyou for considering us when you make choices, but thankyou even more for choosing you for your choices ❤

Always be true to yourself. You come first. When you are true to yourself, it shows, and we can see it. Hence your success. You are so loved by your audience. I agree, I think Gossamer suits your van. ❤

Gossamer it is! 🥰 I like that name better myself. Glad you changed it. It was nice the rain waited til after you got your steak cooked! How considerate! 😅

That tent is perfect to take along in the Van for Lars. When you need to give the Van a deep cleaning, re-organization or airing out, this would be a safe place to put Lars.

I’ve been a silent watcher for a long time but had to jump on the comment thread to say that I originally selected Gossamer in your poll but switched my vote after learning the meaning of Andromeda. I’m glad you are staying true to who you are and your ideals. I love the content you create and I look forward to your new chapter in Gossamer. Happy trails!

​@@winterisblu Hey Mateo, name your van whatever makes you happy. But please let us still be astronauts, so many of us love it so much and want to keep it 😊❤

we love a man who returns his shopping cart

Honestly speaking, Mateo, you're taking us along on YOUR journey. We are just fortunate and grateful that you are allowing us to rock it with you. Having said that, do whatever makes you happy. We are cool with anything you choose.

I love Gossamer for the simple fact that you love it. It's your van, your home, and you're experience that you are simply sharing with us. I'm just happy to be here. Much love to you and Lars!

Lars loves you so much. He’s the sweetest. I love the new van name.

I’m so glad you’re naming your home for you…and no one else…You don’t owe us an explanation at all!!! It’s your home!!! Welcome home Gossamer…we love you…👠🚌👠

Mateo we all watched you because your authentic down to earth attitude! Stay the way you are don’t change!❤

To have owned land is such a blessing 😊

Love your relationship with your cat. Reminds me so much of my own. I had Monty for 17 years and only recently had to say goodbye. We went thru so much together. I miss him so very much and feel a massive void in my heart without him.

So sorry for your loss! I have dogs, and one of mine is now 15, which for her breed, it's really the longest I would have been able to expect her to live. I feel every day is a bonus, and I have been telling her every day, many times a day, how I love her, and I do believe there will be animals in Heaven. In fact, my daughter says why wouldn't there be, mom? Because who could think it's Heaven if there weren't animals!

What a cat! Lars is just game for anything as long as he has you! Fun times ;-)

Oh Mateo, I grinned from ear to ear watching you watch your movie while holding Lars. The love you have for your little fur-buddie is priceless. You're an awesome man!! Love you for sure.

I appreciate the fact that you even care what we think.

That is the name that I chose. Not because I personally liked it, but because I felt that you really liked it. And I applaud you for finally listening to that voice in your head.

We LOVE you and Lars...youre REAL,smart,kind,loving...and JUST PLAIN FUN

Mateo, I follow and watch your videos for the simple fact that you are you. Not here for a van name or certain content. Its fun following a journey with you and just overall watch your videos because they are relaxing. Name the van what YOU want, go wherever YOU want, and do whatever with this channel. We will watch. 💚

It would be good to put a tarp under your tent. It helps to keep rain from seeping up under the floor of your tent ⛺️ 😊

I'm a photographer and you spoke truth when you said being true to yourself and not comparing yourself to others. There's a thin line between inspiration and comparison. If you're not careful, you can unknowingly compare yourself to someone who inspired you and lose your identity. Every so often I have to remind myself to stay true to my style.

So proud of you for going with what your heart desires. Being authentic is what it’s all about. 🤗

I have only been watching for a little while. I do enjoy the way you live your life and I think you should be allowed to name your van your dog, your cat your hamster whatever you want to. We’re just along for the ride. It’s your life you’re right to do as you see fit. Thanks for taking us along with you.

It is your van, definitely name it with what you are happy with. We are here to enjoy your videos and precious Lars.

Mateo, it's your channel, your van, and ultimately, your decision on what to call your van. I'm here to follow and enjoy watching your journey and not for the name of your vehicle. That said, you, Lars, and Gossamer got me hyped to see your final build, and I can't wait!! ❤ #YOUROCKDUDE ❤

My girl and I love watching your videos. You don't know how much we look forward to your weekly drops and getting updates about your progress. Keep it up. :)

You are the captain, Mateo. We are the passengers. Thanks for including us, but ultimately, this is your journey. Now…. Let’s gooo! ✨✨✨😘

Nice to see you gain the inner strength needed for survival.After googling the definition of it,I can see how it could be a form of protection for your van,and all who dwell within.You'll be sparkling everywhere you go now... between your smile and the exterior glow.Hi Lars

Mateo that’s your van, yours and Lars’ home …. You name it whatever feels right. I love y’all and I’m rockin and rollin regardless 🩵🩵

It's awesome that you didn't let a _sense of nostalgia_ or a perceived _debt to continuity_ control your decision on this. And thanks for sharing your reasoning. Welcome to a new beginning.

Mateo! This is your "Van Life" and we're just living in it...😂 Live your lives To the fullest Mateo and Lars..😊 We Will Be Here Watching.

I'm so glad that you're being true to yourself and choosing a name that makes you feel good. ❤️ We just love seeing YOU, no matter where you are...or what you're doing. We're here for it all!!!! Please dont ever stop being YOU! ❤️🧘🏽✨ I just knew that you were grabbing a beer and I laughed when I saw the Barbie drink... classic!!!😂

Gossamer! Yay! That's what I voted for originally. It's absolutely perfect 🤗

I don't care what you call it. I don't even understand why you need to name it, but if you're happy with it, go with it.

WELL. DONE. 🙌🏾 I KNEW it! Gossamer. That’s a name that HAS to be on/in your heart. Unique. Fitting.

IT IS YOUR VAN ,DO WHAT YOU WANT

Mateo we are here for you and Lars!!!!❣️ Even though the name of the van related to the Astro was cool, I’m glad you chose to go with the name that really speaks to you the most!!!!❣️ Do whatever it is that makes you happy!!!!❣️🥰

Heck YEAH to Gossemar! As many others have said, we like you for you. Your van is cool, Lars is the BOMB, and we watch because of who you are and how we feel when we watch.

It's a great name the the Van! No worries, do what your heart tells you 😊

You and your wonderful sister are my absolute favourite KZreadrs. And Just Rowan!! So authentic, love love you all to pieces ❤❤❤

I respect your decision and deep thinking of the growth that you'd like to keep going into this new chapter. And heck, that's how I feel about names, they are powerful and important! Like naming your child, it's so important to profess what's true to you ❤

Greetings Mateo and Lars. The van name is not all that important, it is watching your positivity and adventures most people come for. Roll on young man enjoy all your content.

Oh wow!! I love tent camping!!! I have to do this in our backyard with my son!!!! He's never been camping lol the rain just made that more cozy 😄

You did what is right for you. That will make your videos that much more genuine and we can feel that.

You should have named the van what you wanted in the first place, we ride with you no matter what. There was no need to pretend that what we thought was best and then say what we think doesn't matter. It's your van, and we love your content! Journey on Bro.

I’m glad you changed the name! Both were good ideas but going with the name YOU want for this new chapter of Van Life is 100% the best decision. It’s your journey and we’re just along for the virtual ride, safe travels dude! ✌🏻💛

You do you. God has placed you where you are and thats all you need to prosper in all you are doing. You are a true Blessing to all who click and find you and sis!!!❤

Mateo, that steak came out so well. A joy when you cook and teach us recipies. Congratulations on the name of the van; and for making it through the rain 🎶

So proud of you for continuing this dream!! God bless you! ❤😊

I appreciate the authenticity. Be yourself , we watch because of you and because you keep it real. 💯 love the name I voted for that one lol

Mateo, it's your life. Do you! I will still watch your channel. Besides, you're educating us who can't wait to join you on the road. 🤗

Hey Mateo You are the coolest , personally I feel that no matter what you name the van or what content you share because you give us authentic you were down we’re here ! ❤❤

Great video! Loved seeing Lars enjoying the tent. 😊

Love love love seeing you with Larz 🐈‍⬛

Your Van, Your Channel, Name it, Don't name it, It's all up to you! I enjoy your adventures, glad you're bringing us along. Live your life, we'll hang with you!

Mateo, this is your journey, we are along for the ride. We are here to enjoy your adventures along with Lars. Many blessings to you!

I love you and Lars!!! So what works for you, you’re the one living it. We are just watching. I have PTSD and your videos have improved my life tremendously. I can’t even put it into words really. I love you so much. I can’t wait to watch you grow. ❤ I love the name!!

You have to pull the strings tight attached to the rain fly to make it waterproof. That way, rain just rolls right off!

Today I stumbled on your video from 5 months ago in front of Cracker Barrel .. in the snow .. and Brandi ..,I skipped to this video to see how you were doing . You’re an inspiration. .. I don’t know your whole story .. but damn it , you look happy and that you’re making it all work . Big ups for keeping your cat happy as well .

You're doing great!🌷

Hi Matteo: love the peaceful vibe to your videos. I’m happy that you have a break from all the van build chores. Enjoy!

I love being part of this group. I want to do this so bad. Im a single mom so I have to wait for my kids to grow up first.

I voted Gossamer, i love it! matches the color you want and I can totally pick up the vibes of the choice. New Chapters!!!!

Sounds like you had an epiphany 😊 "I'm going to start doing things that I want to do". This is your journey to make however you want. It's unique and in a lane of it's own and doesn't need to be compared with anything. We enjoy whatever you decide to do. If you change your mind about something that's your business!! 😁 Do you 🙏🏾

Mateo you're growing in support of you. Good for you and Gossimer!

I voted for Gossimer!! New Van New World! So are we gonna be Gossey’s? Mateo, be who YOU are, not who you think WE want you to be. I have been a lurker for a long time only recently subscribing and commenting. I love the brass when you’re driving or shopping!!! I did like my selection of Lars Lair haha! Hi Lars!!!!

I'd call the new van "the new astro".... astro is more than a van. It's your home! 💯🔥

Mateo, I saw how you lit up speaking about Gossamer which is why I voted the way I did. Ultimately, it’s your van, your decision. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be along for the ride.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m so glad that you have seen that, and that you decided to decide for yourself and you alone. good job

Mateo no one but YOU lives in your skin 😊. You have no choice but to be you…honey everyone else is taken!!! Your viewers love you for who you are and I do too. Peace, love and blessings from your biggest fan in Oklahoma ❤️

I haven’t been camping in 23 years. This was so fun to watch!

Geeze, It's your van!! The name is about you. You crack me up!

I love the bond you have with Lars melts my heart 😊❤

Hugs Baby Boy. I hear all the things you're not saying in this video and the last ones. You got Lars and you got this. Much love from Western NC.

Lars loves life

Mateo, you kept us in suspense before announcing the name! Gossamer it is 👍🏿 Here’s to many awesome adventures!

💜 day onesie here! I’ll be here regardless of the name! Peace and blessing be yours!

Okie dokie we rename the new van Gossamer. Now back to the adventure. Love the camping with a kitty. Stay safe out there guys

As long as you are happy with your decisions ... it's your van, your journey and what makes you happy !! 🎉🎉🎉

Have you ever thought about installing a touchscreen radio for navigation other than your phone? So you have a backup incase your phone overheats.

That absolutely was a manly drink 😃😃😃. Great video Mateo & Lars.

What a nice yard to camp out in. Good job sealing the fan.

The name is super cool. And I love that your camping. I miss camping. Can't wait to see the van after it's painted.

Gossamer...after the Looney Tunes character? A personal favorite lol Steak looked yummy, I bbq'd chicken thighs over wood a few days ago, they were fantastic too. Bet your sisters kids would love pitching tents with you in the back yard. Much ❤

Gossomer:) Here for it! Here for you Chef Mateo...and Lars! Thank you for reminding us all to ALWAYS be true to ourselves! ♥ I have that tent!! 🙌🏾

So excited for you to make your VAN dreams come true 🎉
