[@evsheskin]

I am not a nomad but love watching your vlogs and do admire your lifestyle. I so enjoyed the musical interlude during your drive. Regards from Israel. (Bet you didn't realize your vlogs reached that far away).

[@christelena1783]

Me too. Greetings from USA. Hope you are safe and well. Do you know of any vanlifers there, that are on youtube?

[@barbatkinson5822]

Mathew you are luv’d by all your subscribers and of course your beautiful daughter and Penny ❤️

[@phosawelonewolf2886]

Penny made me smile. She acted like she was really happy with the scratch posts you got her. Her voice changed when you gave it to her.💜

[@karenlowes7802]

Nice to spend the day with your brother.😊

[@bonniejackson1321]

Life in the slow lane with a wonderful brother and big puddie tat.

[@garynewton2016]

[@Lee-mmg]

Never a lack of gorgeous scenery. Lot's to do - and fun doing it.

[@lindageiling5922]

It's so beautiful there, love the mountains.

[@Pammellam]

Oh, the remodel will be so cool! Yes, now that you have lived in the van for a couple of years, you know much better what works and what doesn’t.

[@ShinyNickelBlades]

Penny totally claimed that pillow, how cute! I'm not moving.

[@wanrapea]

What a special treat to spend the day with Byron! For you & for us! God bless Byron! Excellent pick for Penny! Beautiful scenery. Can't ever see mountains w clouds too much. Picture perfect!

[@ItsOnlyMe13]

[@waynemcalindon2721]

The sound track is epic

[@irhonda31]

I love that Penny! She took to that scratcher!! Great job on the reno progress!

[@Valerygallery]

Nice you were able to spend the day with your brother. You had something fun to do for your Valentine's Day! Nelson is such a cool place. Very pretty. I remember taking a ferry there also. (Short cut). It was nice to see your video. Brings back some good memories.❤ Your tiny home is looking very spacious! 😊 Penny loves her scratch post. She is thanking you so much!😽💕

[@MelissaJohnson-s7k]

Matthew your so lucky to have a brother your close to 😊 I have one brother and we are only 11 months apart in age im the oldest. but where not close at all ! Thanks for sharing ❤😊

[@Threeonetwo188]

That was a very good episode... Thanks for taking the time to put that together.... It's amazing how you don't study the camera.... But your head seems to always be right in the middle of the shot. You got a beautiful little life there good for you.

[@VaguelyMeandering]

Oh my goodness...I was YELLING at you when Byron was driving and you didn't have your seatbelt on. Penny is such a doll...I'm thinking she loves her new scratching post. And I think I spotted a bag o' spray paint...was I correct? Thanks for brining us along. Nelson is a great place, I don't know it well, but I've always enjoyed the time I've spent there. Feel better my friend.

[@canadiannat8960]

[@naomidonovan-perry2667]

Good evening Matthew and Penny and Sheba.

[@wahinepaddler4]

Byron brought you coffee not even knowing if you still drank it or not 😭😭😭 so thoughtful..

[@clairem.4779]

Unwinding from a day doing a job search in Oregon. So enjoyed the slow down pace of your time housesitting, brainstorming your reno, Penny and the trip into Nelson with your brother. Nice relaxing video. Nelson is a sweet little town! Thank you so much Matthew for the slices of your day...enjoyed it!

[@donnamacleod2947]

Nice to see you spending the day with your brother! Penny looks quite pleased with her new scratching post! Safe travels back to Alberta! Keep smiling!

[@workinprogresssince1974]

I am really enjoying this. I often imagine how I would fit out a van if I decided to live in one and how I would make clever storage etc, so this is great to see. I missed your first van build back in the early days so at least I get to see it all over again. :)

[@kitbram2033]

Beautiful lake

[@Yvonneb_]

I can truly say I never miss an episode. I thoroughly enjoy them. Xx

[@aaronthedj12]

Tell your Bro, I say hi!! hi Byron!!!

[@lifeover50adventures]

I love your videos...your Canadian accent makes me miss home. Keep them coming. ❤

[@aaronthedj12]

You should leave the bed as a small single... look at all the room! Keep it open.

[@stacynoble3909]

I am glad the van remodel is going well

[@spyinthesky7778]

Revamping van is a good deal. Change is good in long time

[@bradleyosantowski9318]

Matthew if you move your heater behind driver seat you may run your frigerator more often in its new location. Heads up😊

[@aussiejac]

Absolutely loved this. Time with family is the best xx

[@donnaallbritton4539]

A fold down bed for Brooklyn over the wheel well.

[@mizangie9165]

I can't imagine how much building advice you're getting right now. LOL!

[@JoanMulhern]

good dad, penny is happy!

[@odettec1]

What an amazing place you live...

[@MelissaThompson432]

👍👍👍👍👍 for the music on the drive into town; all majestical and mountainy and Deeds of Valor. It goes perfectly with the scenery. Pretty sure getting a crown is a Deed of Valor.

[@francesrivard9045]

Buy a bag of cat nip and put some on the scratching post. Penny will love it.

[@peggybaker69]

Nice you were able to share some time with your brother. I can't believe how much it cost for the little bit he bought my goodness. Penny was so cute, didn't take her long to use her new scratcher. Safe travels back to Calgary.

[@chiron591]

Not sure how far along you are, but like to give you a idea. Why not build a wall at the back doors. Making it a small storage space, and insulating you from those doors. On one side you could store your batteries, mount your electrical on the wall and even still keeps Penny's liter box in the same space. Maybe your heater could go there as well. You could hang alot of stuff there. Then on the inside you could mount your TV on that wall so that it can be moved into position when needed. Hang pictures and make it a feature wall so to speak. I would also make the bed a high enough so the fridge could slide in and out when needed. And one last thing, remove your passenger seat and replace it with one that turns around so you have a real seat instead of the bed. Nice to see that your renovating, its so much fun. And I'm sure what ever you do it will be perfect for you.

[@GypsyJvan]

Thanks..

[@francesrivard9045]

Byron is adorable.

[@lucyalderman422]

Then there is an air space between the wheel well and tbe van with the cover there

[@preparingthebridefaithoutr6884]

11:25 ... God's Country, absolutely BEAUTIFUL!👍🤗💖😇

[@preparingthebridefaithoutr6884]

Very PRETTY there, in Nelson.

[@connieshutts7074]

Nice ride..water and mountains what more can you ask for?? 😊

[@deeregirl7356]

I live in Michigan no mountains here, what pretty views you Have thanks for sharing.

[@allisonmcdonell5860]

I thank you for sharing your life in today's world it's pretty crazy but watching your videos make you seem like,e you are not alone in this crazy world. You make life not so crazy and your going through life the best you can with the crazy world we live in. And your a wonderful father. I love the saying only dead fish go with the flow! What does that make SALMON 😅😅

[@susanp9851]

Matthew, I just watched a video by New Jersey Outdoor Adventures featuring a build Most Insane van build. It may have some features you can incorporate in your new build. Thanks for your videos. They are really enjoyable.

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

Have you thought about doing premiers again? I miss those 😥 A old livestream popped on and Stella was sitting in your lap...I still get sad when I see her. Then at 32:10 you turned the light on for the picture of you two together-I actually started crying. Stella just reminded me of my Matika so much...miss them both.

[@VanlifePLUS]

Oh you. You barely showed up for those lol

[@allisonmcdonell5860]

Just one more thing sorry for dragging on, but i watchyour uploads daily and i have to subscribe each time i wath new content why i don't know butmi do it,anyone else with the same problem. Bit annoying love and light to all your subscribers ❤

[@rockysmumakagma]

What a fun day spending it with your brother! But super annoying traveling to the the dentist, oh, it doesn’t fit, you have to come back 🙄 Not very often that you get chauffeured around 😂, except when you had the operation of course. I remember buying a scratching post for our cat a few years back, frickin’ never used it, and it was expensive back then,,,bugger! Glad Penny jumped right on that 😊 have a great night!

[@FLR1131]

Very wholesome Vlog-loved it!

[@MrRedtaco11]

Great video Matthew. Hope that you had a great time and got to spend time with your brother. It looks so nice for this time of year. It’s awesome that the van build is coming together. It looks great. Penny sure loves that scratch post. That nip though sounds like a no go. See you in the next one bud. HI Penny. Safe travels.

[@amyfollmer1412]

Hi Matthew and kitty's.

[@danthevandan]

Quality time with your little Bro is quality content, cheers to you both 🍻🍻

[@rajanikumari3672]

Howdy Matthew, Penny & Sheba. Glad you had a nice outing with your brother. Grocery costs are insane there.👋👍🍀

[@janetmcburney4582]

Are there any structural posts in the basement that you could wrap with sisal rope to make a scratching/climbing post for Penny.

[@allisonmcdonell5860]

Stay away from those caffeinated drinks fizzy is what i well say, a lot of my friends have suffered deeply with drinking them stick to the tea.

[@cyndywood6323]

You should be so thankful that you have Hotel Walmart. We are presently in Florida having come down the east coast from Massachusetts. So far we have found NO Walmarts which allow overnight parking. But, They All Want Our Money.

[@VanlifePLUS]

I am

[@ricebike]

Oh no! Walmart did away with overnight parking nationwide in the USA??? Hope cracker barrel locations are still allowing RV overnight parking

[@garynewton2016]

nice travel shots and good to see your brother again. The sink box gone will you relocate or no sink. If gone maybe heater could go in that area, 😳

[@gregoryharstone4768]

Wow 2 things :nice video.I could have bought all that and more veggies for 40.00 $ here in thailand ...but for the extra $160.00 would be nice to be back in my B.C.!

[@ricebike]

Idk about having that heater so close to the floor mounted fuse box under the driver seat... Guess a thermal barrier will be in the works for that heater relocation

[@glennismossey6976]

Hi Matthew. Take care of yourself!

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@kathywrightjohnson6804]

Hello Matthew

[@NomadicDee]

What an awesome video! Loved the drive into Nelson; the music was amazing!

[@barbatkinson5822]

Bought a Leatherman for one of my family members for this coming xmas. High quality. Expensive but a good buy. 👍

[@gregbelaskas1080]

Now you’ll have room to put that swivel passenger seat in

[@VanlifePLUS]

Hopefully! 🤞

[@maryrinks8383]

Happy Thursday to Matthew miss penny and moms cat sheba ❤❤🎉

[@MPKenney2000]

Lucky will be better.

[@graceful6894]

My mom was born and raised in Nelson

[@ileneahrens8741]

You guys have the same mannerizims. You tilted your head the exact same way when you snapped the selfie.

[@albertaadventures7750]

Great video. If you need any ideas for a bed in your jeep, feel free to check out my updated bed setup in my Jeep. I sleep in mine all the time. Take care 🤙

[@Pammellam]

Cats love to try their cat skills and catch mice…. Penny must very proud! I bet she has been catching mice for a while and you didn’t know….

[@karenbreslauer2053]

That country is beautiful up there Amazing. Did you check out the van tour that I recommended. Bench enclosing fridge ? Thanks for sharing 🌴💕

[@nicoleserroul7171]

Ok I think you were referring to me when you said a subscriber sent money for a toy for Miss Penny. What freaked me out was that you bought her the exact scratcher for her as I bought my girls just last week. Weird or what!? Lol I hope they told you at PetSmart that when the scratch pads wear out, you can buy just the posts to replace instead of throwing the whole thing away.

[@Charlotte-bn4gp]

Sibling time is precious. Beautiful country. I would starve in B.C.! $$🤦$$

[@karenpackman225]

Germany... let's go 😅😅

[@billboyer7735]

I thought I was looking at the Golden Gate Bridge there in San Francisco.

[@gloriasilva4518]

Matt if you are placing the heater behind the drivers seat and have the fridge in that same area will that heat up your fridge ?

[@christy76840]

Being compared to a mini San Francisco is not a good thing AT ALL! lol. That place is the polar opposite of that dumpy hell hole

[@VanlifePLUS]

🤣 I was speaking specifically of the hills and dramatically inclined roads

[@ramfrancisuk]

Can the fridge go behind the passenger seat - horizontally? Since you are planning to reduce the size of the water station.

[@Orazzal68]

Just a heads up the li- batteries need to stay warm in winter or they won't recharge and ..well won't work.

[@VanlifePLUS]

Yessir!

[@lindageiling5922]

Matthew , ," Advil kills the liver , your better off taking regular aspirin.

[@jacobravenwood7968]

Taking too much aspirin has been known to cause stomach ulcers and intestinal bleeding. So you're better off taking nothing at all. There are significant side effects for all over-the-counter. Painkillers when taken an extremely large amount. My brother and I have chronic pain just like Matthew. But we're both unwilling to take prescription painkillers because of opioid addiction. It sucks, but sometimes those the cards people are dealt in life. We've had to learn to just live with it, unfortunately.😒

[@dougmac444]

Valentinen’s 😂👏👏
