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!
Be Happy, Be Creative, Be Yourself and BE POSITIVE!

Ended on a real cliffhanger. “Will Amber get her door opened? Will she ever snowboard? Will Matthew spill his beer again? Find out next week on VanlifePLUS”

That was so cute when you asked Penny to meet you at the front door. Then Ta Da there she is.💜
Tell Amber she could use the snowboard as a tray table on her bed! For the midnight snacks while she’s watching, her TV shows!!👍🏻🤣

Don’t beat yourself up over the microphone. You fast forward so much and add music that it blends right in. You’re home is really coming along. Love that it’s camping season again and the gang is together again!! I love those mountains!! And the added humor is dessert!! Have fun. Be safe. ❤

good to see amber
Yes behind the wheel/tire, I have one. IMPORTANT, face it the right way or you will curse when you have to do it again, those tires are so heavy!!!!!
Good evening Matthew, Penny, Lindsey, Sadie and Amber!!! I hope you all are having fun!!! I have some of those can toppers and I LOVE them!!! Not only do they keep things from spilling out if the can gets knocked about but it also keeps bees and bugs from going into the can!!! Please give Penny lots of scratches and kisses from me! And I am happy to see Amber again as I know a lot of us are!! God bless!!!
Ahh my favorite time of day is here. Thank you Matthew 🩵
Good to see Amber ☕🐊🔥🧡
😢Rent a camper or rent a cabin. Maybe a 2 room tent. Or maybe an air mattress or cheap crib mattress for the front seats of the van. Then dark out curtains for behind the seats to create a private bedroom for Brooklyn. For camping she might like to learn to use a walkie talkie.
I didn't know that they have camping police lol but they were nice/sweet camping police. ❤

Those ladies were more like camping spot greeters and camp spot fee collectors. My sister did that for a while in a big camp ground in the states… She also sold camp fire logs etc.
Oh man! I wanna go camping!! I live in my van but it's not the same as being out in the woods! Love watching you and your group, Matthew.
😂❤ You have to get the FLEX TAPE out and fix that beer topper😂😂😂😂
Good evening Matthew Penny and Ladies! Hope camping went well.
LUV the camping video/vlogs ...its ALWAYS a good time with U and the girls!👍💖🤗🎉.
Hello Matthew and Penny, Amber, Lindsey and Sadie! Sorry I was late to the show. I was working on a puzzle. Curly Sue says hi to Penny!
The little plastic toppers are better then putting your mouth against a cold can
Great content thanks for sharing with us it was nice seeing everyone again camping together especially amber ❤
11:24 She’s very precious!
NOW that's a GREAT spot for your emergency medical kit ...it really had me concerned constantly falling off of the inside/bottom part of Lucky's rear door!🤔😊🤫👌
So nice to see Amber again! You guys rock!
I love that Lindsey is so real 💙
"Ladies first, just in case there are any spiderwebs." LOL. That's gentlemanly of you. 😁
Great video Matthew. I hope that everyone is having a great time. Hi penny! See you in the next one bud.
Matthew, dear, you need a toy hauler- just pull Grace in the back & go🥰
Good morning from Japan. It was about 9:15 in the morning here when you uploaded the new blog!

I tried "What the Huck" about 3 summers ago when my sister and I went on our yearly trip. I had no problem consuming it.
Yay!!!
is it just me who thinks the sound is better without a microphone?
Glad the first aid thing got figured out 😊
Hi Matt and ladies Ray from Wisconsin here, welcome back Amber, luv da vids!!
Tally freakin ho to y’all! Up in Canada! Hope Sadie, Amber, Penny and Matthew are chillin it up in the mountains! Matthew should not drink and be unsupervised while operations anything!

Am looking forward to reading that one- though I struggle with his short stories bc always want them to be longer.
Heck, if you want a camper then maybe that'll be Lucky 3.0. Just tow it with Grace instead of the other way around! You'd likely have to leave said trailer places more often when out and about, but hey could work.
Oh my goodness...you still have the Fernie Beer! I got the What the Huck because I recalled you liked it? And you did! The Enduro has mango in it, and you were on a mango thing for awhile. I'm happy you found some time to relax...while fixing things...I am the same...I can't usually settle if there's something that could be done...well, unless it's housework at home... it will be awhile until I can see part 2...the cliffhanger!!!
Brooklyn could just stay in the van with you.
but you're walking through woods.. so if Ambers going first, the person trailing in horror movies disappears first 😆😂
i had a teacher in high school that instead of saying ladies first or after you .he would say dirt before the broom...you just reminded me of that having Amber walk ahead to clear the spiderwebs lol

I was missing Amber and thought she might be coming out of hibernation soon. ☺️. It’s been fun watching you with your cousin/s too.
Anyone else telling Matthew to look up directions on KZread to hook up the beauteous gift of the spare tire light. That is on the outside it seems because I always see it as a ring of light on the roads. We go on long roadtrips Matthew and have seen most of the US and Canada. “Push her out” ( unsaid part of that- calm down now) 😂😂😂😂

Gotta rotate that full size spare rim into the mix of Grace... the tires have date codes and will eventually start to dry rot after about 6 years
I find it funny Matthew, day before your enjoying the quiet, next day your both noisy as hell lol,yeah dude thing too lol , great start of the day lol
Lyndsey going to write a letter! lol!
I've seen another jeep with that light. You mount it behind the tire

That's pricey camping. Manitoba Parks basic site is $15-20. Group is $33. No mountain views, but great scenery, forests, etc. I'm planning a trip during the summer with my kids going to BC. Was thinking about tenting on the way, but with those prices I might just drive through. Lol
Matthew, pimping Penny out for reduced fees? She definately was a draw. LMAO.
No crib tournament but tournament music ? What da huck?

If she has a ford then you take the handle off and your see I wire under the handle and your need to put the wire back in place
