i lived on a houseboat for 4 days 

My grandparents had a houseboat on Kentucky Lake back in the ‘60s when I was a little kid. Used to spend a couple weeks on it every summer. I still think about it. This takes me way back. Enjoy!

I’ve been on a house boat. I’ve slept on a house boat. I’ve never thought about taking a trip on a houseboat. Until now. Adding it to my bucket list. Thanks Mav!

I would so love to go or live on that houseboat! That's the ultimate! But since I'm older now and not in such great shape and on SSDI, I will be just as happy watching Mav on his adventure and being glad I don't have to go thru all of the motions and emotions! Thanks for sharing the adventure Mav, sure enjoyed it as usual ❤❤

I was a houseboat instructor back in the day and you guys had it mostly right with the ropes, you'd probably want to go out at more of a 45 deg angle and tie up a little further on land if possible. But tying up from the back is definitely the right call. Also, it's not bad to give the boat a little throttle once you've beached it. Sometimes we would throttle way up when synching the lines so when you let off, you know they're tight. Since I'm commenting, if you have an older boat, make sure the generator exhaust isn't exiting between the pontoons and has a proper stack. There was a bunch of accidents in the 90s (probably still happening) where people would swim under the boat, then pass out from the carbon monoxide and drown.

For frozen food, leave in water but have a constant drip for 30m. The constant disturbance of the water will allow for significantly faster thawing speeds. Water can act as an insulator if left in stillness.

Been a follower of your videos for years now…Love to see you in Canada again, especially in Ontario. My great grandfather was an avid fisherman up north and we are lucky enough to have numerous photos of his prize musky catches over the years (5ft+ in size). Definitely a fresh river prize to catch despite their overall “gruesome” appearance, especially with their size. Anyways, glad to see you enjoying yourself again in Ontario!

Been following since the very beginning, and it makes me genuinely happy to see Mav living his best life. I get kinda jealous sometimes 😂

I grew up about 20 minutes away from where Mav launched his boat. My family rented out two houseboats from the same place they got theirs earlier this year - Gill’s in Morson, Ontario. Crazy to see Mav hanging out somewhere I know well!

was i the only one dying from laughing at the beginning when he went to tie up the houseboat and the tree casually falls over and he goes "i dont think around that one" so casually

Was just up there a few weeks ago with 3 friends at Rainy Lake. For those thinking it maybe to spendy. Split the cost with some friends. Lot's of room and a buddy boat comes with it. Ate so much walleye we were running out of creative recipes. Stuck with the gold old gold standard. 1. Box shore lunch 2. 1/2 Cup Flour 3. Tablespoon of Lawry's Mix and apply to wet fillet. Cook same sized pieces in oil at least 375F (much hotter it will smoke) for 6 -7 minutes. Great video, house boats are a blast.

Another great adventure Mav. Thanks for taking us along. I think most of us want to live vicariously through you. What a nice houseboat. Can’t wait to see more. 😁

Mav you are the man!!! Im a bloke living in Auckland NZ and ive truthfully only discovered your addictive content since last week. From living rent free in NYC to camping in a tent for one night on the "apparent" helicopter pad, its so very addictive. This 37 min video is for me the best one, im certainly not a fisherman but the houseboat is something ive always wanted to live on. Thankyou for your inviting us into your world if only for a short while. MRES look scrummy as, hard to find in NZ but im trying to hunt them out lolz. Again a thousand thankyous mav.

Watching this before heading out to work this morning really puts me in a positive mood. To know brighter days like this are ahead for me really helps me get through these sort of days.. Thank you for that Mav. Your vids help more than you'll ever know.

This video is one of my favorites. So much living and loving life. Thank you Mav for bringing a smile to this day.

Mav out here living the dream! House boat living and fishing for 5 days! Awesome content man, keep it up!

If mav isn’t living proof of not following what everyone tells you to do or how to live but instead making what you love your career then I don’t know who is. You are an inspiration to us all brother.

Oh my God this is been a dream fantasy of mine. When I was younger my friend's dad lived on a houseboat he bought it cheap because the motor didn't work he just left it at the marina and drove a tow truck. Paid like nothing to keep it tied up there and had a little boat like yours to go fishing and come back. Also be careful with eating those MRE's they're notorious for causing serious constipation.

I have done the houseboat vacays several times. One thing when “beaching” for the night is to use TWO ropes,one off each front corner, this AFTER nosing the boat onto dry land.

Need more houseboat content! Lol and I love seeing how Mav interacts with his friends too lol

I didn’t expect myself watching a half hour youtube video 😅. I’m not interested in fishing but I really enjoyed watching this video. Great content keep up👍

37 minute video? I love it! 😍 Thanks for the quality content like always, Mav!

Loving the long video. I just kicked back with a crown and coke and lived vicariously through you. This all looks so fun. Take me with sometime, eh? For real though thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos. From the multiple cameras to the editing, to biting your phone clamp hanging over water while unhooking a fish, the dedication is prime and we appreciate it so much.

A fantastic vlog Mav...really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along!

My family just found Mav a couple of months ago. Hands down the best truck camping videos. Always look forward to whatever he comes up with next.

I've been watching a load of yacht/catamaran vids lately and was thinking to myself Mav would probably love being on the water for a change and then you come out with this vid 😂. Looks like you had a load of fun 👍🏻

As a Canadian it feels wrong to see one of my favorite fishing spots in a youtube video.... wrong in the best way possible. Keep the videos coming!

you know it’s gonna be a good day when mav uploads 😈😈

pro tip> fold down your MRE bag so its like a bowl. crush up your crackers in the chili mac, add the cheese, the red pepper, or tobasco, enjoy

Excellent video Mav ! You made me remember the week I spent on Lake Powell on a four bedroom two bath houseboat with seven of my friends & relatives. We also towed a ski boat and had three of our jet skis along. It was one of my best vacations ever.

This dude has made me want to go fishing and I’ve never cared about it in the past

Videos like this need to be longer. Can't ever get enough of the videos. Thanks for the endless content

as an Ontarian myself it feels encouraging to see someone have this much fun on northern fresh water rather than the warm Sothern ocean. i love my great lakes but it will never compare to the diversity of the great blue

Thanks Mav, I'm laying in a hospital watching this excellent video, living vicariously through you. What a great adventure, thanks again!

yea buddy Ontario! Just started watching your videos a few days ago and honestly thought you were Canadian just from the way you talk and the Trailer Park Boys references LOL

Mav your boat is letting you know that you can't leave her for that long without giving her some attention! LOL! I haven't been fishing in years! Used to go several times a year. I once caught a 37" muskie on a piece of bubblegum! I was just messing around as we were headed back to the cabin. Fun times! Thanks for the memories! Be safe out there and keep on truckin!

Muskie’s are elusive and rare here in PA. Cool to see ya catching them. I was reeling in a small sunfish one time on an ultralight rod, just messing around on a lake at a family picnic. Not fishing serious at all. As I reeled the pan fish in a giant Musky hit the fish. I fought him for 15-20 minutes before he finally broke off. This was at Keystone Lake in New Alexandria, PA. An hour give or take outta Pittsburgh, PA.

I swear he’s so much happier being near home.

I just got back to MN after a week up at Eagle Lake. Ontario fishing is another level of fishing, I've never caught so many walleyes and nothern in my life. Didn't fish for muskie much but was able to snag one while jigging for walleyes. Stoked to see the boat back in action after the sweet yammy repower!

Actually feels so good when mav does a long video

When I was around 9 years old I used to troll for bass in our family paddle boat every evening after dinner at the cottage and one night I caught a 36 inch muskie on my kid fishing pole with 6lb test. It took me a solid 15 minutes to get the thing to the boat. Been trying to replicate that adrenaline rush ever since

This video was so much fun! Those fish are huge. I would love to stay on a houseboat like that with my best friend that would be so much fun. We both love to fish. I enjoyed this video see you in the next one

Come east an hour to muskoka (gravenhurst) and I’ll show you around the place, great fishing here, home to muskoka chair, cliff jumping, live music all the time

Wohooo something to watch after a rough night. Thanks Mav for the 40 min episode ly byee

Only Mav would pull out one of the biggest Musky I've ever seen and say, little baby, not a bad one. Incredible fishing in this one.

Mav that was definitely an amazing day of fishing for muskey’s for sure!!! Usually they say it’s the one fish in every 10,000 cast!!! I don’t think that you guys even came close to making 10,000 cast while out fish for the day!!! To be able to catch four of them between the two of you is definitely awesome!!! Awesome video and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

Wow that's a lovely boat!! This looks completely different from houseboats where I live.

You look so happy with your Mom and Dad. Fun to watch this trip.

Hey mav I’m one of your silent viewers and I have some advice for the frozen meat just put it in the pan on medium heat and add a little bit of water and add whatever seasonings your gonna use and cover it and let it defrost and cook and mix it or move it while you wait cause it takes a while sometimes I hope this helps. If the meat is ground meat it’s easier to do this but if it’s a whole type meat style that’s frozen I recommend you put it in water and leave it in the packaging and let it defrost like that I hope this helps

Would be cool to have Mav as a Friend Mav does all the cooking 👏😁👍🤣🤭

House boats down here in south Louisiana is abundant here. Been on several and they are a blast. Great video

Every time I watch your videos, it always brightens my mood. Keep up the amazing work Mav :)

Mav I love how u were hyping your friend up when he caught the first fish that was too cute 😊💗💗🎣

What a ride! Loved it, glad you made some good memories Mav! Thanks for sharing!

Been on one of these when I was younger with really good family friends (they had their own) as a mini vacation First day was an absolute blast, so much fun disconnected and away from everything The rest of the trip was a complete and total disaster with terrible weather but hey, make the most of it House boating is 100% something everyone needs try at some point

Mav, life has been rough for me recently. I love your videos. They make me genuinely smile all the time :) Keep it up man

Lift your motor up when towing behind another boat Mav! Just a tip, a foot for those VMAXs aren’t cheap

Always a good day when mav uploads 🙂

You should go to Nestor Falls. I’d recommend staying at Kelly’s castaways. They can fly you out to a remote cabin🙂

Well, Mav, that was a fun and awesome video! You keep these videos real! Nice meeting you, Adam! Can’t wait til next adventure! 💞

This was one of the best videos I've watched. I live in a nobo 20.4 full time and my tow rig is a 14 5.0 fx4 with a 6.5ft bed

Another Adventure of Mav. Love to watch these amazing adventures bud !

Big fan of the musky fishing! You guys were killin it holy crap!

What a awesome time I would love to be on a house boat. I'm surprised you didn't go down the slide. As an older woman I love your videos and the fact that you don't use cuss words I really appreciate it. Thanks for an awesome video can't wait for the next one stay safe

Found mav like a week ago… Already my favorite

Love you Mav! Keep it up, you're a great inspiration to me. Great Video.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO EAT THE BRISKET MRE FOR THE LONGEST 😂😂. I got excited when i saw it but ig i have to wait some more 😞🤞🏾

I love watching y’all catch & release… you are both so gentle with the fish ❤️

Ngl my favorite part of mavs vids is the cooking segments

I'm a new Subscriber n I have to say ur channel is absolutely AMAZING. I love ur adventures I've been binge watching ur videos all day great content blessings to u from San Diego Ca.

I'm sorry about your loss Steve

One of the coolest things about Mav is his expert fish handling. Dude really cares about the sport and the fish

23:38 close ur eyes and let ur imagination flow

I guess this is the longest since mav hasn't uploaded a video and this is coming from someone who has watched literally every video on this chanell

Man, you're living my dream buddy. Keep it up with all the awesome content.

My dream is spending time camping and fishing on the lakes. Nice video.

Let’s gooooo!!!! Mav is living my dream lol I’d love to have a house boat like this and just go out for a week and detox off the real world and social media and just live without any worries! ❤️

Chili Mac was the No.1 choice back in the Marine days , Or the chicken fajita. They used to make the chicken chunks with a Buffalo sauce packet that wasn't bad either.

I have not seen it yet, but i already know it's going to be a BANGER ! hope you having a great evening Mav take care :) EDIT WHAT A BANGER IT WAS !

Usually have MREs in the truck while out scouting - hunting - fishing are just road tripping out here in Washington “ PNW “ !!!!!

Hey Mav you ever thought about going to Europe for like a month or a few months and just travel around? That would be super cool!

Ok, you answered one of the questions that I was confused about LOL. Here's the other one: Why didn't you just drop the anchor on the house boat (assuming there is one) and board the smaller boat from the middle of the lake? I would love to be on a houseboat! Looks like an amazing time ❤

Dude no way I did see you. I passed you on my boat lol

Nice chart plotter! I like the new 175hp engine on your boat good choice. 37 minutes, this was a GREAT time.

Awesome. I caught my first walleye on Lake of The Woods. It was a beauty. This was fun to watch. Cheers from Florida, Carolena

You should start a guided tour on this lake and in THAT HOUSE BOAT to catch musky and have a good time! I would pay dearly to hangout and catch a fish and have late night adventures of tying up loose boats, mosquitoes and all the good stuff!

Thanks for all the fantastic videos Mav, and all the adventures we get to experience with you..I feel like we're with you. But hey man keep on trucking much love from New Mexico..

Mav back with another banger 🔥🔥 Keep killing the content man n doing you 💯 Also keep on trucking!!!

I would stay on a house boat. Probably when i get the chance to actually move around imma go somewhere and do this one day. It looks like so much fun.

I love you Mav! Bro your the best! I always watch you man! Your one of a few people I have subscribed too… safe travels! Love the content keep up the good one… god bless🏕❤️

It’d be so bad ass if you owned a house boat and made more content on one. That would be awesome to watch. Thoroughly enjoyed this video and your content! Always look forward to your videos.

Not trying to be a dick but 59usd$ for a t shirt is ridiculous. That’s 76$ for a t shirt delivered. I’d love to buy one. But I can’t justify that buds.

DUDE!! Some of the islands looked very familiar. Looked it up and I've been going to the same area for over 20 years! Mylie's Place Resort is our normal!

those MRE were packaged by my hometown

Love these type of videos you make Mav! Those fish are huge and glad you had fun out there. Be safe and make more fishing videos 🙏💯

Hey! Don’t forget that Jesus Christ loves you and he died for you have a blessed day❤️

The fish of 10,000 casts, or 50 casts if you're Mav. Great video!

Are we going to ignore the fact he barley posts consistently anymore ?

New motor looks great! Sounds even better!

Been following this channel for a long time and I’m very happy to see you get back into fishing miss that part of this channel a lot. Hope to see more fishing videos!

I love Lake of the Woods. We've launched from that same dock. Great fishing up there. Stayed at Miles Bay Camp.
