Mateo, if you are going to be using your van battery to charge and run "house" stuff, you may want to buy a battery monitor with an alarm. Vehicle batteries are not meant to be drained below 50%. If this happens a few times even your jumper box will not work and you may be stranded. Much love.
Agreed! This happened to me while dispersed camping in Utah. We couldn't figure out what the heck drained the battery since I was powering my fridge with my Jackery. It took my jumper box, a friend's massive Ecoflow, and about 6 hours to get it started again. 😒
Remember the woman parked next to you, and you fed her? Remember thoughtful things you do for people? Blessings will always come your way. ( So sorry that woman passed away.)
I firmly believe things happen for a reason. One time my car ran out of gas and oil.. many single guys stopped, offered me rides, etc.. which I declined.. This was in the days before cel phones and all that. I said, God, if a family, a single woman, or a couple with a cel phone stops, I will know it's ok to take the ride.. As soon as I thought that, a Lincoln with Iowa plates and an elderly couple with a cel phone stopped.. they called AAA for me and gave me a ride back to my car (I had started walking to get gas). They wouldn't accept any money, but just said to pay it forward. I believe this was a sign. The world needs more people like Corey and John. Sending love from RI
Im currently in a hotel after my car broke down today and this video popped up. My spirits are not low but this video cheered me up seeing how helpful strangers can be. God does have angels here on earth and they show up right when you need them like John and Corey. Bless everyone.
Omg I just rewatched that video last week. It was on my playlist. Gods presence is all over you. His plans for you is far greater than you can imagine. I would also take that as a sign that you may not need to go to that particular place.
Ever since the Good Lord graciously and mercifully raised me from a twenty one minute long sudden cardiac arrest death, I don't believe in coincidences, happenstance or luck. Your meeting up again with these folks, dear sweet Mateo, was deliberate and intentional... just like the Creator of the heavens and the earth is deliberate and intentional. ... and did i mention, He loves you so vwry much🥰 💥❤️💥🥰 much love, dear soul
Mateo, I love your fearless and adventurous spirit, but I must admit that as your self-adopted big sister, I often have major heart palpitations whenever I hear you say, "I've never done this before . . ." Whether its twirling fire batons or sandboarding down huge dunes, I should know by now that you can't hear me screaming "NO!" through the computer screen and it wouldn't matter if you did. Mateo's gonna be Mateo! 🤣😂Never change because honestly, you're inspiring me to take more risks in life! 💝
Jump boxes and portable tire inflators are the best! Have carried them in our cars for a long time. Mateo, what city are the dunes and that lighthouse in? I wonder if the outer banks in NC has sand boards for rent… 🤔 💭
Up until 2 weeks ago l had never watched a Utube video, didn't know what a subscription was or meant until l watched Winterisblu. It's a first for me and l will continue enjoying. Thank you!
So glad you got the van fixed. I still believe there are loving, helpful beautiful ppl in this world, I don’t understand how ppl can’t see that… safe travels Mateo & Lars.
Yes, I've met a few Johns and Coreys in my time, in outrageous places and unpredictable times. We should all remember that many angels come with grease under their fingernails! So glad yours were standing by when you needed them. God Bless them, and you and Lars, as well😊😊😊
You're newly found friends sounds like kind hearted people its very strange how after a year later you ended up in the same perdicament sometimes God put situations in our path to protect us and since it is the 2nd time that happened to you can really send up red flags just be extra careful out there and you're subscribers will continue to pray you be safe and keep meeting new people who are like John and corey
Hey Mateo, so I work on cars for a living specifically transmission if you crawl under your van and you can manually move the shift lever into drive it sits right next to or above your transmission pan I recommend doing this when it has been sitting so you don’t burn yourself on the exhaust. Keep the e brake on and chalk the wheels, it sounds like your natural safety switch is going out or your lead frame, it sits behind the valve body in your trans pan it’s very common in the fords like really common I see it all the time. I recommend having the fluid service too ask them if your trans fluid is burnt or heavy metallic material is in it. I’m in Washington btw from Oregon I work on a lot of those fords
Sentimental thoughts but no, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God has beings that do look out for us but they are not passed people. I do believe there is some grace for Mateo and that God has found favor in him but is also calling him. There is a special sweetness on this young man and I don't feel it is coincidental that this happened yet again. This was protection and an arresting moment. May God's will be done in this sweet young guys life. ❤
Welcome back man!!!!! Wasn’t sure If we would get a video today because we didn’t Thursday but we missed you and Lars! I say this out of love.. but please start back posting twice a week dude I’m like addicted to your channel and need a fix. I always can’t wait til vlogmas… hopefully you do it this year!! We love you dude 🫶🏽
You need John to look over the van. Check every inch for possible issues and give you a timeline on what to do for maintenance. Good mechanics are heaven sent!
I grew up watching Bob Ross. I usually listen to this bedtime story channel Get Sleepy to fall asleep but i actually still watch him bc his painting videos are so peaceful & relaxing they're perfect to fall asleep to. Love this vid, glad you have friends like Corey & John. 😌🙏🏾✨🩵🩷💜
We need more people like Cory and John! Many blessings to them. May they continue to be the excellent brothers that they are!! Mateo is also a great person with an excellent upbeat, and beautiful soul!
It’s so scary to have van issues weighing heavy on your mind. You have to think, “Can I trust my vehicle.” But I’m so glad there are very good people in this world. Stay safe.
your intentions are righteous and you don't give off negative vibes thats how you're making it .. I couldn't imagine if that was me .. I just hate that vehicles are not reliable it's like you gotta have a like new vehicle etc. shout out to cory and john for helping !
Their are people all along the way that are truly just waiting for people that find themselves in need of help, I feel like these kinds of people are AMAZING ❤.
I remember that video, I loved the mountain views. Thanks to Cory and John for being a blessing. May God add a special blessing in their lives. I stayed glued to the television when Bob Ross came on. He is one of the reasons why I am an artist.
I would set a nightly reminder on your phone to disconnect so this doesn’t keep happening. You don’t want to continuously drain your battery like that or eventually it will need to be replaced. You attract good people because you’re a good person who puts positivity into the world. John and Cory are awesome!
Yes! I got back from the store with bahn mi fixings and started watching today’s vid. I’m rocking pork belly with crispy skin. Nice call on some duck! Yours sounds amazing!!
Mateo, I got back from taking care of my mom who has Dementia and while driving back your video dropped and I wanted to thank you for reminding me to look at the goodness in all circumstances and that there are good people in this world! Muchisimos gracias!
Hi Mateo & Lars 🐈⬛… I just subscribed…. I gotta say I love your attitude, your spirit and your beautiful cat Lars … me & my cat 🐱 Marmalade look forward to seeing more of your relaxing videos ❤
I interned in Oregon summer of 09 with ODOT in their culvert division. The field visits were incredible...enjoying the outdoors while collecting sample data and surveying measurements.
Mateo haven't commented in awhile been following you from the beginning. Yes there is still good people out there good things happen to good people!! Safe travels my friend!!
Almost cried watching this because it’s so rare that you meet genuine people in the world. Every single day you come across evil selfish people who will get over on you any chance they get. When I do hear stories or meet people who show kindness it touches my spirit.
Thank you John and Corey for helping him it's very rare you meet honest people God bless y'all 🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤ and may God continue to be the force 🙏 in y'all Lives mato and Lars yesss much love please be careful ok
I always do the like button even before watching, love your videos Mateo and Lars, absolutely swear by the little portable charger Noco is a very good brand
Great video as usual Matao ❤ Lars is living such an interesting life with you. He is a lucky cat to be so loved. Beautiful scenery and delicious food ❤ The sand boarding looked like great fun and you don't have to break the bank.
I feel like the connections you make are reminiscent of a past era, Mateo. Good, honest people meeting other good, honest people, making the world a better place. This world needs to see more of you, John, and Corey. 💚
Sometimes things happen for a reason. I am so glad that you were in the right place at the right time, to be back in touch with some amazing people! The entire story gave me chills!!!
Corey and John will always be blessed, and they are genuine people….only Love can drive out hate. So glad you have a good heart bcas we have to be mindful how we treat others, we never no who God will use to be a blessing and hearing this abt C and J I pray God sends them a blessings that they will never forget….. keep that friendship with them …. This makes me so teary eyed ❤
I have one,most definitely, as well as jumper cables just in case. Depends also on how old your battery is too. My thought is this,each time you gotta charge up a dead battery, one fourth of its life is gone. Just kind of a good way to keep tabs on it.
I wanted to say, you act so much more relaxed and happier since you've gotten this van and got it converted 😏 I can say, you did a great job with it too, and Lars is much happier too, you can see it.
I believe someone is watching out for you Mateo, so good to see good people like John, Corey & yourself are still around i hope next time you meet you can cook one of lovely meals for them, wishing you continued safe travels 🙋♀️🇭🇲
