[@bobbear4437]

Amber's smile, what a sweetheart

[@lynnvalenti9532]

You snuck the song in!!! I think it's great that you and Amber are ride or die buddies. I hope you, Brooklyn, Amber and your family have a great Christmas. 😊

[@kimlatham3809]

Penny is the best😊

[@Kane-B]

That musical tease around the 25-minute mark hit the nostalgia (has it been long enough for that?) button hard!

[@RenayEmond]

The Days will be getting longer from now on..... 😩Is how I get through this time of year🍀✊🏽💞🙏

[@kathywrightjohnson6804]

All the fire trucks in the county are driving from town to town with lights and sirens going. It's a parade that goes from town to town and celebrating Christmas. We started this when COVID started. There has been over 40 trucks ,cars and ambulances blow past my house. I love it. It's so cool.😊😊😊🚒🚑🚓🚔🎉🎉🎉

[@ramblynrocketeer]

👋😁 Great to see you & Penny + Amber 👍

[@kathywrightjohnson6804]

Amber, i saw matthew turn on your heated seat for you. So it was warm when you got in. What a great guy he is.

[@belindaboudreau9178]

They take such great of one another. It's nice to see. Serving each other brings joy, rather than working against the other. They will have a lasting friendship for such selflessness acts. Merry Christmas everyone! Joy to the world! 🌎🌍

[@francesrivard9045]

Matthew you are a great friend to Amber. She is so lucky to have you as a friend.

[@johnt5652]

You could say the same thing about Amber. Seems like a pretty good friend to me, and that dude is lucky she sticks around

It’s fun watching the snow… from Florida 🌴🌴

Merry Christmas Mathew Amber Brooklyn and Penny, the Wondercat. Stay warm and fluffy. Cute donut.

[@cathymc8365]

I fully agree with you on the weather apps, the Weather Network seems to be the closest to accurate. We need some shots of night time Christmas lights to really bring in the spirit! Hope everyone stays safe and warm out there!

[@marywatkins9438]

Damn, you got a blow torch? Y’all Canadians stay ready!

[@qaosqitty8098]

Thanks Matthew you reminded me I need zipties. 🤣

[@distaff2935]

My husband used to travel for work. He would call me, tell me what his phone said the weather was at home. I was AT HOME. The info wouldn't always match. We actually had disagreements about what the weather here was!

[@Charlotte-bn4gp]

😂I know a man that does that to his wife. 😊 People's excuse is he was in the army, over look him😂

Merry Christmas to you and to the red hair beautiful soul.

[@LindyQ17]

Wow you guys got a lot of snow! Still just a skiff up here in Devon.

[@GypsyJvan]

thanks..

[@rockysmumakagma]

Thanks for another great vlog 😂 My first thought of seeing the snow was, I guess Amber isn’t going anywhere 😂 We need to get that girl some big meaty tires for Regina 🛞🛞🛞🛞 I wanted to curl up beside Penny, she looked so comfy on the bed ❤ Hugs to you all 🥰🥰

[@donnaallbritton4539]

Merry Christmas Matthew, Brooklyn and Amber. Be safe and warm out there. I seriously look forward to your videos.

[@TheLeopardGirl]

Matthew I love your Dixxon hoodie, as the snowboarders would say, "its totally rad man"!😉 I always love your Christmas music choices for vlogs, they always have that jazz feel, so cool!🎶🎼🎷Finally loving the snow, you know me. If ever I visit Canada, it'll be in the winter for sure.🌨️❄️☃️⛷️🏔️🚠🇨🇦 Good job Matthew another beautiful vlog!🥰

[@phosawelonewolf2886]

Happy New Year too.🎉🍾🥂

[@carmelrickman9748]

Hello Matthew, brilliant vlog as usual. I really don't envy you Canadians with your freezing winters, you all must be made of tough stuff. Us Brits are just built for well... damp really 😂. Take care young man and much love as always ❤

[@mikeperreault8939]

The weather Network --- you mean The Guessing network !

[@ricksgypsy2512]

A little snow is pretty, especially around Christmas. It's just enough. It's good that ya'll can be together and enjoy the day. How old is Penny? She seems so relaxed. I can tell from your values and overall dazzling personality that your parents did an excellent job raising you. The love shows.❤❤❤ Keep making excellent content and safe travels.

[@VanlifePLUS]

That was very kind of you to say. I’m not 100% sure of Penny’s age since I rescued her when she was already fully grown, but I would guess around 10 or 11

[@capaddler]

👍🏼👍🏼🍀💚🍀

[@abeach5420]

Hiya Matthew & Pen-Pen of courrrse ... I wanted to say I ensure to come on every vid and hit like button...but I am so sorry I just have not had time to watch all so many.

Dang, stay warm and safe! I am sitting here watching, wrapped in a sweater and my heating pad. Its cold here, and no ❄️, not supposed to have any for awhile yet, anyway. Nice to see you and Penny and Amber. Love you guys. Mama Ree ❤

Gotta love snow days. When you're a kid. Lol.

[@canadiannat8960]

Yup.... It snowed. Do you still have copyright problems for the music you're subscribed to? (good tune for the drive to the theater.) 🍀🌼🍀🌼🍀

[@ItsOnlyMe13]

I hear ya on the iPhone weather app. It’s rarely right. The other week it said sunny and clear all day with a high of +3c. I came out of the grocery store to a major snowfall -the kind where the snowflakes are soooooo BIG the windscreen on my truck was covered by 5 flakes. I need to get a new app 😬🙄. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas. 💚🍀❄️🍀💚

[@zooedca]

Shoppers has refills online. Either with the rx# on the bottle or using your account if setup. Nice as they will email/text when its ready for pickup. Also still no snow in Saskatchewan yet! yay!

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

I love the snow...too bad it is STILL raining here...what the heck!

Wow. Looks chilly for sure. I'm here in Nz in summer. Never any snow where I am. Brave people!! I'm coming over next year to visit my son. The malls will be interesting. Soooooooo much bigger than anything here🤣. Looking forward to trying Tim Hortons. We don't have that here. Stay safe and warm. Merry Xmas.

[@Midwestmindset1]

Heads up on your jeep oil starting concern! “Baxter spin on oil filter adapter” is the solution to all your problems. Check out a couple videos showing easy install and how changing oil is easier and cleaner!

[@VanlifePLUS]

I have looked into this and am considering it. My only hesitation is the need for an airline to evacuate the filter of oil during the change. I haven’t been doing my own oil changes lately and wonder if it would be an issue at quick oil change place 🤷‍♂️

[@Rmstrjim]

What quick oil change place have you ever been in that didn't have shop air? To actually address the starting concern the proper item would be an oil accumulator. Also bear in mind that oil filter relocation kits are commonly available.

[@johnwang9914]

Keep in mind that due to how messed up the polar vortex, El Nino and the jetstream are this year, the winter in Calgary is exceptionally mild this year.

[@garynewton2016]

great nice again to see Amber like the everyday vids Keep on Cooglin

[@TheLeopardGirl]

"Regina can't go anywhere because her tyres are basically.....well slicks"😂🤣😂 That was my thought the last time I saw Regina on your vlog!😱

[@valeriehancotte-galan4790]

Guess we all need to pitch in and buy Amber some tires for Christmas 🤔⛄🌲

[@marywatkins9438]

Miss Amber could use a new windshield, too. Maybe financial assistance/gofundme wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

[@marywatkins9438]

@@valeriehancotte-galan4790Then maybe, once the tires and windshield are addressed, the alternator can get looked at, too. Definitely not handy myself, but I think her battery should hold a charge better than it has been. And I suspect the alternator may be the issue.

[@TheLeopardGirl]

​@@valeriehancotte-galan4790she needs to do a go fund me!🤷😁

[@Lee-mmg]

Those roads look slick. My! What movie you going to watch? Ohhh. Ok. Silent Night. You do well with the weather - y'all have fun! I'm gonna try to get some stuff done today. I need some of your energy! :-) See ya next video!

[@katsinky5762]

We have been so lucky weather wise in Alberta. I'm around Grande Prairie and we may get a bit of snow tonight then +5 Wednesday again. You have so much more snow than us. Brown December so far. I find the most accurate weather app is Environment Canada. The ones that come on our phones are American I think. They are never right lol. Have a very merry Christmas and even better New Years.

[@DebraJackson-yp5xb]

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

Simple Green is a great diesel odor neutralizer/cleaner. I routed the combustion air intake clearner inside my van and installed a REAL air filter in place of the SILENCER shipped with heater. Its an ICE and dirt will kill it. Just like a van engine. Im not a doctor so i dont offer medical advice. Im not a lawyer so i dont offer legal advice. Im a certified automotive diagnostic technician so you can Trust me, Bro. ;-) A KZbin channel, John Mck, has a series of videos on these heaters, and i viewed them before i bought one. He does an OUTSTANDING job describing theory, operation, and diagnosis/repair right down to each component. And correct installation. I would suggest anyone operating a heater view them. I've run the same heater for 3 years now with no issues. Im only as smart as my resources. Much Respect for maintaining such a PMA while enduring the back injury. Ive had a couple and i sure didnt present a pleasant attitude. Kudos!

[@rhondacooper3565]

God bless you and yours thru this Christmas season and NewYear!

[@Off-grid-n-trucking]

You can have the air intake for your heater in the can . Then you don’t have to worry about the road crap and everything to plug it up

[@rachadventuresinliv]

Snow 🤨 was hoping for a green Christmas. Oh well it is what it is.

Does Amber have an Amazon list?

[@JustCameronAndHisJeep]

As I was out and about today I dropped by the YMCA, at $60/month they offer alot for the benefits to a VanLifer, or anyone to be honest. There are plenty of options to stay civil and coming to terms with those might be one of the biggest mental hurdles.
