Ethan, you should put an AirTag on your keychain, so you can locate your keys when you lose them. Just a suggestion I figured out after having a similar situation happen.
Um, I wouldn't recommend that option. If your keys go down, anybody with the tracker app can find your keys too, as well as follow you. I wear a lanyard around my neck and have my keyring on a d-ring to easily clip and unclip. And one guy I knew kept a spare key inside a magnetic box that he attached to his frame underneath where he knew it would be. Just remember to take it off the frame of the truck before you have any service done because the serviceman might take it off and forget to tell you.
@@zereprd3911 Though someone else won't be able to track your AirTag, they can hear it if it's separated from you and moving, and they can see any contact information you choose to include if the finder uses NFC.
I appreciate how you get out of the truck and take the time to set-up your camera, just to take the shot of you driving down the road, for literally about two seconds of added footage! LOL It amazes me just how incredibly resourceful you are and how you keep calm over stressful situations. You are wise above your age, and a joy to watch! Plus, the love you had shown in the past to Millie, and now Peaches truly warms my heart, you are a very special individual!
The broken cabinet door... Shove two or three toothpicks or matchsticks into the screw hole, cut or break off any excess that sticks out so it's flush to the edge of the door, then drive the screw back in. The toothpicks or matchsticks pad out the hole and give the screw something to bite into and hold.
@@christopher3492 Wood glue or even white glue would definitely add some strength if available, but assuming the minimum available materials to work with friction alone should make for a serviceable repair.
I really RESPECT this guy. If you met him and didn't know anything about him, you would think he's a spoilt Californian type from the way he speaks. He's actually a very tough, self sufficient, enduring and resourceful person. Where is your other dog by the way?
^This. Ethan is far more rugged and skilled in things that his age and demeanor would lead you to believe, and he's getting more so every day. I want to know and see him in another 10 years.
to stop being absent minded, decide you will stop being absent minded. Have a specific place to put your keys and put them key there as soon as you come in, before doing anything else, And have a way of getting inside in case of an emergency. Make extra keys for everything. Hide a key to get inside somewhere on the outside. Wear a key around your neck. Whatever you need to be better. You can improve and I bet you will. And lock your truck.
One thing I learned over the years is like you always have a spare set of keys, leave a window open so I can have an emergency way in and when I'm done with my keys always put them in the same place. I have a hook by the door. Good luck I hope the keys turn up. Give Peaches a hug for me pls.
Bones on the trees. Door latches you out. Keys disappear. Car door mysteriously opens... Definitely a haunted or cursed location! I kept expecting that this would become the beginning of a found-footage-style horror film 😅
I lost my keys yesterday. Found them in the parking lot and they had been run over but thankfully they worked. Stay in Lowes parking lots. Never been asked to leave. Quiet. They have the best free WIFI that works on the far side of parking lots. They are safer too. Walmart(cars go by all hours) and Home Depot WIFI you have to park up close.
To choose to be alone, or at least not to be with hordes of people at Christmas (or any time) is just fine with us. . My partner of 45 years and I are both sort of semi-RECLUSES... the fewer people in our lives the better we like it. Hope you have a peaceful and safe season, Ethan. PS - a question. How the heck to you do your laundry? Or do you just wear your clothes in the shower and run around to air dry?
Truck stops have washing machines & showers. If I can find free h2o, say in a campground, I'll hand wash my clothes in an Earth-Pac bag. Hang dry on paracord string in my rig.👍
"Ethan and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day." I related to you so much in this video. That feeling in your stomach when you realized the hatch was locked 😰 One of my greatest fears is that Sammy (my blind cat) will accidentally lock the van when I'm outside as she's wandering around inside. And I cannot count how many times I've misplaced my keys, wasting so much time searching for them. Ugh. I try to be mindful of where I'm placing them but of course those times when you're distracted are the worst. So glad everything worked out for you. Hopefully Amazon delivered the new keys quickly. I'll be alone for Christmas too, but looking forward to a sweet, free campsite on BLM land myself. So nice 🌄 🏜️ Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🦌 And Happy Birthday! 🥳🎁🎈🎂
Like the haircut! Loved how Peaches was having a grand old time playing when your were talking about your cab door being opened. She was a very happy girl!🎉
You could have unknowingly parked your camper on a Native American burial site. That might have explained your keys disappearing and other strange things that happened.
Ethan, I hope you can make it to Jerome, Arizona. It is a historic mining town high on the mountain and not far from Lake Pleasant. The views are awesome and if you have the ability to drive up to the Jerome Grand Hotel (narrow road that requires campers to drive on the sidewalk) we will find a semi-level place for you to park and can provide you and Peaches with a room to fully clean up in. Just call the hotel and ask for Larry with ETA, etc. You can use the hotel UTV to explore as the camper is much too big for many roads. This is the slow season and best time to visit Jerome.
I'm not far from Lake Pleasant. I went to Jerome a few years ago and and it's like a trip back in time. There's a real good hamburger spot up there to.
solution for those screws that keep coming out? Golf tees (stick them in the holes with glue then break off the tops) and elmers glue to fill the holes up so the screws have something to hold onto
Get some gorilla glue for your cabinet. When you put the screws in, put a little bit of gorilla glue on them and screw them in and then make sure that it's held in place for at least 24 hours and you will never have to do that again
Ethan, if you look up nylon coated tie wire and buy 1 roll (it won't rust away). I use it to tie a spare key under every car I've ever owned. Just pick any spot under your truck (way up under the frame). Only you will know it's there.
Most vehicles since the late 90's have a BCM (body control module) that automatically turns off things like exterior and interior lights after a certain time has elapsed. Try leaving a door open for ten minutes and see what happens. Great video!
Ethan, you should get someone to pressure wash your camper, it will look like new then and make everything look a lot better. You might want to put some more seal on your seals and places where water can get in. As long as you don't get water in the first place, it should be ok but if you don't put that seal stuff on it, water will get in and it will always have leaks. That stuff looks pretty dry and brittle so you want to reseal everything. If you do that you'll have that camper a long time! Best to you brother!
On being not social---I worked in a large testing lab. One lab was separate from the others. It required someone who could work by themselves for 8 hours. Most people assigned there asked for immediate transfer. The lab ran 24 hours a day. Finally, they found three people who could handle the isolation. Three Scandinavians. A Larson, a Hanson, and a Johnson. I have this theory that the long winters produced people who could enjoy isolation. If you don't have blond hair, find another job inside the company.
I just so enjoy you and your travel logs. You amaze me. Do you ever get lonely (don’t misunderstand me lol) or are you a happy loner. You are so independent and nothing stops you. So impressed.
Ethan, although you were alone for Christmas, I know that you made the best out of it. I wish you were closer to my location and could have visited for the holidays. Maybe one day I'll see you out somewhere and I can then meet one of my favorite CZcamsrs. I wish you continued wellness and much happiness wherever you travel. By the way, I have a spare key on a lanyard that I put around my neck whenever I go outside because of how often I've been locked out. You might also consider placing a magnetic hide-a-key box or similar key storage device on your camper as part of your camp setup routine. Last but not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Great video as always Ethan. In this video I learnt that you’re resourceful in a crisis and not really a morning person 🤣. Merry Christmas Ethan 🌲. I hope you have a peaceful and wonderful time over the festive season ❤️
Arizona is a very unique and beautiful state. I always enjoy spending time around the Superstition mountains🏜 Arizona is a great place to be in the winter, but if you can't take the heat of the summer, get out of the fire and head up to Payson or Flagstaff, or head to Los Angeles and spend some time at the beach🏖 Best Wishes to you Ethan, I hope that you find your keys, we have all been there at some point, I'm glad to see that you are doing alright. Have a Merry Christmas Ethan🎅
We live near Lake Pleasant in Wittmann, AZ. If you need a place to park for the night you could use our driveway and our property faces the desert. We have water and internet too.
Loose cabinet hinge screws; I have had 100% success with taking the cotton off QTips and dripping superglue onto the cotton and stuffing the cotton into the hole. Screws grab this like the original wood.
Ethan, get a magnetic key holder 'n stick it somewhere accessable only by crawling under the truck. There's lot's of hidy holes you can find under there....have an Ignition/door lock key 'n camper key in there, I'm surprised you didn't think of this....Dooh!
Perhaps they dropped while going to the roof or while up on the roof. The air tag is a great idea. Or install a hook to hang your keys on by the door, make that a new habit, then the keys will then be with you on that one hook.
Is cabinet repair tip. Take the door all the way off, Dip toothpicks in wood glue and shove them in the screw holes. Leave them sticking out and let them dry. After they dry, cut them off clean to the surface. And re attach the door.
May not have been a good idea to tell the world about the RV key universal RV use. I do hope your Amazon keys fit your locks. Hope you and Peaches have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I really can’t imagine someone who doesn’t like you and your videos.Happy Holidays for you and Peaches(I just can’t!!!).For next year,I wish you all the best you deserve,Ethan.Love from Brazil.
How could your drivers side door be open? Some animals are able to flush toilets, open doors, and flip switches, could Peaches have opened your door? The missing keys, sometimes keys will fall out of our pockets when we sit in a chair or lay on a couch, have you checked couch pockets or the edges of cushions? Also I second the idea of getting an apple airtag or tracking device to keep track of your keys. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New Year 2024 !!
The mind is an amazing thing, you never really forget anything. Try this, next time you forget something, take a deep breath, make your mind blank, start walking around, keep your thoughts blank, you will end up standing right where you left item. Take a flashlight with you, your eyes will go past items until you 3 dimension it with a bright light. And lastly do this all the time, for glasses, keys, wallet, phone, when you put the item down, anytime, touch it , especially if you are doing something distracting, like telling the dog not to do something, talking on phone. Anything worrisome. That is the division point. This is a practice skill, realize you are in the forget zone, touch , touch touch. It will build you a map. My Aikido sensei taught me this, he , and my mom were tired of finding my stuff, WHERE ARE MY SOCKS?
With your cabinet door breaking all the time I fixed you can try is pick yourself up some wood glue and take some toothpicks. Cover them in wood glue then shove them inside of the holes where the screws go and break them off then shove the broken off piece inside the whole alongside the q-tip that's already inside of the hole then screw in your screws and let dry before using the cabinet door too much should only take about 2 hours before it's dry and overnight before it's cured
How to fix your cabinet: 1. Remove Door 2. Drill 1/8" holes where screw holes are 3. Glue in 1/8" wood dowels so they are flush with the hinge surface, let dry 4. Position hinge over installation area, drill SMALLER pilot holes than screw size 5. Screw hinge back onto door.
Watching this video after the video where you mentioned about your heart concerns from anxiety. Now I understand the source of your anxiety. I plan on setting up apple tags on my personal and work keys as I don’t want to explain to my work place why I lost their keys, when I eventually lose them..
I lost my truck and house keys last winter. I knew they were in my back yard as I was only outside for 15 minutes but gave up looking for them. In the spring when the snow melted there they were! Merry Christmas.🎄
Dear Ethan, I would send you a nice magnetic box for the frame of the vehicle to hide an extra key. Primitive for sure but has never failed me. Air tags not a bad idea for the keychain as stated previously.
Don't worry, Ethan, if you ever come to the UK you can stay with me, no discount, no payment! I hardly watch anything on-line but I fiind yours endearing.
Merry Christmas Ethan! Hope you find your keys ... you need to start using routines ... put your keys, phone, etc the same place every time you are finished using. Stay safe and all the best for the New Year!😎
I wonder if you looked on the roof or on the floor of the truck. I lost a $20 bill once, and looked everywhere for it. When I sold the car I took it to the car wash to deep clean it and found the 20 inside the track of the seat. You never know. Great video, Have a safe and happy holiday with Peaches.
Losing your keys is something all of us experience. But given your circumstances, being in remote areas. You need to start paying closer attention to these little things. Your wallet, your phone, your keys should have priority places, and immediate return respond policies. I learned very quickly driving Truck, that a thirty mile round trip, to get something left in a truck stop is very uncomfortable. So I focus all my mental energies on where I keep them.
Merry Christmas Ethan. You were not far from me. Would have treated you for dinner. Next time you’re in the Phoenix area maybe we can meet up. .The weather was crappy with a lot of rain and wind glad you moved the camper from the wash.🎄
You are back! YAY. Missed you. Gorgeous countryside. Hugs to Peaches. My did took us camping in the southwest a few summers. My brother and I had a tiny orange pup tent. It sweated.
In TUCSON there is a cool spot called Gates Pass lots of Alien 👽 and paranormal stuff happen at night. I once saw a UFO there... and I took peyote there once in the early 1990’s. 🎉FUN times!
I’m going to suggest duct taping a spare key to the inside of the flap to fill up your gas tank, as well as the one you currently have inside the van, and that way you are good to go if locked out or lose your key
Ethan, when my RV I got one of those lockable containers that you hide with a set of keys. Not the cheap magnetic ones but one that you bolt to the frame, or someone under the truck. It has a combo on it. Never worry if you lock yourself out again because you have a backup outside
As I'm watching, I'm thinking we are much the same because I misplace stuff all of the time. I have left keys in the fridge before, as well. I think you left them on top of the camper when you 'locked' yourself out. Now, they are somewhere on the road.
I keep my house keys and car keys separated. Except for one door key to get in of course. I a bit absent minded as well, and have lost my keys multiple times. I have a hallway closet that has the little screw in hooks, where I just hang my different set of keys on.
There are any number of places where you could store an emergency key or two maybe two emergency keys, there are non-visible spaces on your vehicle even under your bumper where you could be storing emergency keys either with a magnetic box, or some other mechanism, that will protect the keys from the elements and just check on them periodically to make sure they’re there. You could probably also install some type of electronic entry system into one of your doors.
My biggest fear!! I always take my keys with me....at least you responded easier than I would! Thank God for unlocked windows...that saved you! Cheers!
I’m in the surburban area. Basically it’s all houses around my house in AZ. Maybe toward Apache junction , still part of phoenix. But you may find things out there. Plus ur closer to some mountains.
Ethan, you should put an AirTag on your keychain, so you can locate your keys when you lose them. Just a suggestion I figured out after having a similar situation happen.

@@zereprd3911 Though someone else won't be able to track your AirTag, they can hear it if it's separated from you and moving, and they can see any contact information you choose to include if the finder uses NFC.
Also find a designated spot and always them there
@@zereprd3911I don’t think that is correct - the findmy app can’t track anything not linked to your account, unless it is marked as lost.

Watching u climb through that window was adorable af

Yup this works well. Similar to what a rawl plug does in function.
Thats a great idea! Maybe look into adding a lil wood glue if it happens again… (Im not an expert ) 🤞🏻
@@christopher3492 Wood glue or even white glue would definitely add some strength if available, but assuming the minimum available materials to work with friction alone should make for a serviceable repair.
The tip of a wooden chopstick and some wood glue works well too.
You can also use electrical wire. Won't splinter or degrade.
I really RESPECT this guy. If you met him and didn't know anything about him, you would think he's a spoilt Californian type from the way he speaks. He's actually a very tough, self sufficient, enduring and resourceful person. Where is your other dog by the way?

Dude, not only do you do a great job with your videos, but you are hilarious. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life.
Ethan, replace all your incandescent bulbs with LEDs. With LEDs you can leave your lights on for days with no real drain on the battery.
Led great..except they are flickering. Dunno if subconsciously all get that? If u are autistic they exhaust your brain.
I just wanna hug this guy. He's adorable

He seems older (meaning more mature) than his age. Seems like a nice young guy man. Be safe Ethan!
I love your subtle self deprecating humor. You are afraid of everything you do and yet you do it with abandon. go Ethan!❤

Watching this video made me realize how scary it would be doing what you do all alone. You’re a brave young man. Be safe.
I learned that it's very good to have a spare key in an accessible location. Happy holidays!
Did you check on top of your camper in case you had them up there? Love your channel Ethan. Merry Christmas!
I don’t know why your video showed up on my feed but I’m glad it did. You’re a joy to watch.
Thank you, Ethan! I’m glad you got in your van and that you and Peaches are doing well! ❤

It is very easy to set things down and forget where. That is not a good local to be in when floods arrive. Keep it safe bud.
You’re driving a Ford truck you can buy a keyless entry pad to install on your drivers door. They cost about $200 very easy to install. Life change!
Be safe Ethan. Why not get a Magnet key case and place somewhere under the truck, as a spare to get into ur vehicle if needed... Take care.
Look on the ground where you climbed in at the window, or behind your seat cushion by the window. Your keys are around the truck area.
Ethan, get a magnetic key holder 'n stick it somewhere accessable only by crawling under the truck. There's lot's of hidy holes you can find under there....have an Ignition/door lock key 'n camper key in there, I'm surprised you didn't think of this....Dooh!

Cover them in wood glue then shove them inside of the holes where the screws go and break them off then shove the broken off piece inside the whole alongside the q-tip that's already inside of the hole then screw in your screws and let dry before using the cabinet door too much should only take about 2 hours before it's dry and overnight before it's cured
How to fix your cabinet:
1. Remove Door
2. Drill 1/8" holes where screw holes are
3. Glue in 1/8" wood dowels so they are flush with the hinge surface, let dry
4. Position hinge over installation area, drill SMALLER pilot holes than screw size
5. Screw hinge back onto door.
Excellent view of you climbing in through the window! 😍😍
Jeepers, was that a human femur...? 😱13:04
Thank you Ethan! 🤗I love my SurfShark. 😊
You are very cool under pressure.
I felt so bad for you when you lost your keys 😢
Creepy, I think someone opened it personally.
Happy Holidays! 😊
I want to add my admiration and ability to figure out the many challenges you have been faced and handled.😅
Watching this video after the video where you mentioned about your heart concerns from anxiety. Now I understand the source of your anxiety. I plan on setting up apple tags on my personal and work keys as I don’t want to explain to my work place why I lost their keys, when I eventually lose them..
I lost my truck and house keys last winter. I knew they were in my back yard as I was only outside for 15 minutes but gave up looking for them. In the spring when the snow melted there they were! Merry Christmas.🎄
Dear Ethan, I would send you a nice magnetic box for the frame of the vehicle to hide an extra key. Primitive for sure but has never failed me. Air tags not a bad idea for the keychain as stated previously.
Hope you find your keys hopefully the did not fall out of your pocket when u climbed on the roof to show the great view Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, a hug my friend
Don't worry, Ethan, if you ever come to the UK you can stay with me, no discount, no payment! I hardly watch anything on-line but I fiind yours endearing.
Merry Christmas Ethan! Hope you find your keys ... you need to start using routines ... put your keys, phone, etc the same place every time you are finished using. Stay safe and all the best for the New Year!😎
Did you check your truck bed? Maybe the keys fell out under the camper. There's got to be gaps in the bed you might need a flashlight.
I wonder if you looked on the roof or on the floor of the truck. I lost a $20 bill once, and looked everywhere for it. When I sold the car I took it to the car wash to deep clean it and found the 20 inside the track of the seat. You never know. Great video, Have a safe and happy holiday with Peaches.
Losing your keys is something all of us experience. But given your circumstances, being in remote areas. You need to start paying closer attention to these little things. Your wallet, your phone, your keys should have priority places, and immediate return respond policies. I learned very quickly driving Truck, that a thirty mile round trip, to get something left in a truck stop is very uncomfortable. So I focus all my mental energies on where I keep them.
I am glad you got back in your RV. I hope you find your keys.
Merry Christmas Ethan. You were not far from me. Would have treated you for dinner. Next time you’re in the Phoenix area maybe we can meet up. .The weather was crappy with a lot of rain and wind glad you moved the camper from the wash.🎄
There is some really good camping off table mesa road up 17 on the back side of Lake Pleasant.
Merry Christmas Ethan. I hope it's a happy, memorable & safe Christmas. Happy New Year to you as well. Cheers, from Down Under.
You are back! YAY. Missed you. Gorgeous countryside. Hugs to Peaches. My did took us camping in the southwest a few summers. My brother and I had a tiny orange pup tent. It sweated.
You need to install some kind of key pad entry for at least one door. Or better yet install a key pad lock box on the exterior with a full set of keys
In TUCSON there is a cool spot called Gates Pass lots of Alien 👽 and paranormal stuff happen at night. I once saw a UFO there... and I took peyote there once in the early 1990’s. 🎉FUN times!
You could get a lanyard for the keys or a D ring for a belt loop on your jeans.
I’m going to suggest duct taping a spare key to the inside of the flap to fill up your gas tank, as well as the one you currently have inside the van, and that way you are good to go if locked out or lose your key
Ethan, when my RV I got one of those lockable containers that you hide with a set of keys. Not the cheap magnetic ones but one that you bolt to the frame, or someone under the truck. It has a combo on it. Never worry if you lock yourself out again because you have a backup outside
You make my day every single day dear....LOVE YOUUUUU SO MUCH. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed you climbing through that window!
As I'm watching, I'm thinking we are much the same because I misplace stuff all of the time. I have left keys in the fridge before, as well. I think you left them on top of the camper when you 'locked' yourself out. Now, they are somewhere on the road.
You are a very interesting person Ethan. Being with you, life would never be dull. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas❣
Merry Christmas Ethan. Thanks for sharing I'm going to make extra set of camper keys today to hide under my truck. Stay safe on your travels.
Easy back doorfix, install inside latch!
Be safe and I hope you got your keys quickly!
I love that area as well. I bet it was absolutely beautiful up there the last two days with it raining peacefully.
Put some white glue on the toothpicks before filling the screw holes.
I keep my house keys and car keys separated. Except for one door key to get in of course. I a bit absent minded as well, and have lost my keys multiple times. I have a hallway closet that has the little screw in hooks, where I just hang my different set of keys on.
There are any number of places where you could store an emergency key or two maybe two emergency keys, there are non-visible spaces on your vehicle even under your bumper where you could be storing emergency keys either with a magnetic box, or some other mechanism, that will protect the keys from the elements and just check on them periodically to make sure they’re there. You could probably also install some type of electronic entry system into one of your doors.
My biggest fear!! I always take my keys with me....at least you responded easier than I would! Thank God for unlocked windows...that saved you! Cheers!
You are a great problem solver. In my experience when I lose my keys, it’s because I changed my pants or jacket, and forgot it did that.
I’m in the surburban area. Basically it’s all houses around my house in AZ. Maybe toward Apache junction , still part of phoenix. But you may find things out there. Plus ur closer to some mountains.
Hopefully your keys are in a jacket pocket and retrace not just your steps but what you did until you realized your keys were missing. Cheers
