Thank you 6:06

I've hiked a few trails but I'm definitely not a hiker. I did go solo up Mount Washington though .. Tuckerman Ravine Trail > Lions Head Trail > Tuckerman Ravine Trail > summit on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend of 2004. Clouds were coming in from below after Lions Head Trail and I made it in time to take the shuttle van down the auto road after scarfing down a few chili dogs. Got a shirt in the gift shop .. This Body Climbed Mt. Washington elevation 6280 ... wore that shirt proudly.

We have two seasons in FL. Hot and hotter.

"I hear howling. There should be no howling here."

yes that was a very interesting story Matt, you poor bugger glitter is 1 of the worst things to get rid of,but you succeeded ,van looks good ,cheers David.😀

I love all the videos and scenic footage, you have been an inspiration to me I've been seriously considering trying to to give the van life a go. I love how you said people who rent and pay a mortgage are living an alternative lifestyle. I believe people need the security of a home base and it is a constant obstacle. There is so much to see out there take the leap and feed your inner wanderlust. Unnecessary belongings and an apartment keep you grounded and in a spending loop . If you haven't used a belonging in the last six months and it's not sentimental toss it l.

Oh PS a lint roller sticky roll. Probably would’ve helped a lot with the sparkle.

Hey dude, thanks for keeping me company while I finish the final details of the sprinter build. Last night while pouring resin, I saw out of the corner of my eye you fill up your water tank from the wand at the car wash place. Are you aware that those car wash places use recycled waterthey filter the nasty water and reuse it. Don’t think I’d be putting it in my water tank. Enjoying your company, but I wouldn’t wanna be drinking any of your water or taking a shower as the skin is the largest organ of the human body.

Remember death ; indeed . Very good video , thanks !

I think the Robot is checking for spills on the floor. If It finds wetness it alerts staff with a location.

Very cool! Cheers from Vancouver 🇨🇦

Love the Depeche Mode poster! Saw them at the Orpheum back in the day.

Hi Matt, as an Australian it's nice to learn about and be exposed to other states within the US that I wouldn't normally think to visit. That was interesting. The glitter situation made me chuckle too 😀

Hi Matt, get the ultra sticky lint roller, it will pick up all the glitter the vacuum and wiping won't.

Glad your eating healthy 🙌 Fast food will kill you

Very interesting - thanks for sharing this story. I can't believe you don't have a little car dust buster/vac.

Binge watching your videos. LOL. A sharp knife makes a big difference, as well as the type of onion. Vidalia and red onions are not as noxious as white or yellow onions.

Hi! I enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing your time, thoughts, and experiences! Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy! Everything else is manageable! Pops

✌️

That brilliant green water probably is overloaded algae bloom. Don't get that up your nose ... a brain eating amoeba will kill you.

All that glitters is not gold.

It looks beautiful!! Nice job🙌

Great job on the van, it looked immaculate. May we all live to see a glitter-free world, peace out.

10:26 great graffiti on the bridge ... maybe you should try a different river.🚣

On the bright side, at least it wasn't hickory-scented glitter 😆

Umm sorry I have to correct your nautical lingo again ... that red double bladed thing is a paddle. Paddles can be double bladed for kayaks or single blade for canoes. Oars are for row boats and usually come equipped with oar locks that fit into the sides of the boat. You should get a Pelican Case model 1300 waterproof for your phone for the day you roll over. I got two .. one for my camera the other one for the phone, wallet, keys, cash. They sell them on Amazon made in USA with lifetime warranty.

Clear shipping tape picks up glitter

Did you happen to have a can of bear spray in your pocket? 😮🐾🐾🥶😱🫣 Great story! Thanks 👍🏻💯👏🏻

I don't know. Seems the glitter was worth it for inspiring the content & deep cleaning. 😏

You might wanna think twice about filling up your tank with the water from the car wash wash. Most car washes recycle the water that goes down into those drains.

🥰😍🙏

Be careful in the woods. There’s been a lot of sightings/encounters with dogman creatures In Massachusetts remote areas.

Last year my home insurance was cancelled (long story) so a new agent came out to inspect. It was December and I had decorated my big old jade tree with pine cones. Boring. So I dug out some ancient glitter. Really dead glitter from fifty years ago. And glued it to the pine cones. Well. Yeah. Stuck in the hallway rug. Would really sparkle when I put the lights on. When the agent came in, the sight stopped him dead in his tracks. He stood there for a long time directly under the duct-taped fire alarm, staring and deciding whether or not to walk on through. Man, it was one of those moments. So in my case, wayward glitter gave the finger to the man. Ha.

Glitter is man's worst enemy

You should drive over to the Adirondacks area of NY, there are plenty of spots to boondock. Plenty to do if you like snow.

Epic story man! Thanks for the content!

I think my decision has been made. I saw a camper van, which I am going to assess for a life in it later. Thing was cheap around about 3k. Low mileage, some 35k. Let's see what will happen. Because with that I still have money left for updates etc on the camper. So that is all ( for now atleast)

Nice video. Very interesting. Hopefully Hiram doesn’t have glitter in his final resting place.

It's cool that you take such pride in your van. It's very unique! Amazon has some very good mini car vacuums made by "Fanttik" with 2 Ts. I have the slim V8, and I like it a lot. If you can pick up these messes before they get ground in, It's so much easier!! This channel is a bit odd. There is nothing crazy about it, but as a camper dweller myself, I just find it refreshingly honest and funny. I watch every one now!

The glitter goes well with the sparkling lights 😅

Try a damp paper towel and blot the glitter. You will be surprised how good it works. Tip from an old grandma.

Great video! (glitter never sleeps)

People are starving for fresh content this time of year...thanks for cranking these out

Relax Glitter Boy, everything will be fine. 😂 😅 I’ve got to go back and see if you have a video or two showing work on your van or a tour or something. It’s kind of dark in there. Which I like.

As a fellow Massachusetts van guy I've been enjoying your channel and have been going back and watching the older episodes. I've been marking some of the locations you've highlighted on my master Google map where I keep track of locations I learn about that I'd like to visit in the future. We track our own adventures using GaiaGPS and it's been fun to overlay all the past tracks to see where we've been with the van since we started using it in Dec 2018. My wife and I are not full time van folks as we have a home, but use our van for our multiple road trips around the country each year as well as our short local trips. Our road trips were once done in a Subaru Forester with a hotel booked at the end of the day wherever we were. My wife isn't a hardcore camper and wasn't thrilled about sleeping in a tent so the van has been a great way to save over the cost of booking hotels on our adventures. I can sympathize with your glitter issues having had a similar experience. It's damn hard to completely remove it. Reminds me of the quote attributed to Demetri Martin: "The thing about glitter is if you get it on you, be prepared to have it on you forever. Because glitter doesn't go away. Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies." Looking forward to your future explorations.

Hate to tell you, you’ll find glitter for years! That’s why I don’t go into gift shops, it jumps off of things onto me!! 😂
