My My Matthew your country is so truly beautiful. And you are so great at showing your country to us all. I'm your Michigander, geriatric, in the best shape of my life at 65 follower. I'm in Michigan and really should have gotten myself to Canada before the catastrophic flu 😼🤔 struck. I honestly cannot recall the last time I had a cold, much less a flu. I pray for all of us, in every breathing area on this Earth that we can in some small way have a Blessed 2023. I want that for you, Brooklyn, Penny, Stella, Amber and all of your loved ones Matthew......Hello Amber!! Be well my friends, Be Safe but most of all Be Joyful everyday ☃️🔥🔥✨😻💙💞

Penny has fans! Of course she does. I love the way she looks at you. Your kitties love you so much! And that's a testament to who you are. I'm glad you had a peaceful Christmas with your friend.

The only thing missing is Lindsey and Sadie. I think Lindsey needs a van for weekend excursions with you and Amber. Everyone needs a Lindsey in their life. Your videos with her are some of my favorites. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, since I’m watching this on December 31st.

[@VanlifePLUS]

Don’t worry, there are plenty more camping trips planned for 2023 and there might even be a surprise in store that is within the realm of what you mentioned

Matt & Amber Merry X mas! Though 😢Matt laughingly begrudges freezing a part of his anatomy off, the picture of the feast was wonderful. We all have holidays that don’t go totally according to plan, yet the memories are always some of the best joy will have. The scenic forests & snow, the cold that bites at your nose, a tow truck to make it complete, I guarantee this picture is going to be great in the next ten years. Happy Holidays All! Lindsey- I wish I had a cousin like you! Sydney Happy 2023! Penny & Stella stay healthy & stealthy! See you both in 2023!
