- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- My name is Chrome i have been living in y cargo van for 6 years now. I started this lifestyle BROKE and IN DEBT and after 11 months of living the van life i cleared my debt and started to put my life back together and build for a better future. I have turned my original van into a badass camper van that is lifted with all the toys. Over the years i went from being broke and stealth camping in the city and sleeping at walmarts... to now, living fulltime in a jacked up van and driving deep off-grid into the backcountry and living life in the dirt. WOW LIFE HAS CHANGED.
I now have a shop space to keep me busy through the winters here on Canada's westcoast. Went from Van Life to VAN LIFE + SHOP LIFE !!!!!! Come join this crazy van life journey of mine. HIT SUBSCRIBE, trust me its gonna be a WILD RIDE.

Yes Chrome give those rims to the cat lady !!!!
Dude , its been crazy to watch your progression . I hope you take time to recognize what you've accomplished , its inspiring
Have you ever seen him ungrateful cuz I haven’t
You are blessed to have such a great friend like Loren. Thanks for the videos!🦋❤️🦋
Stay local..bang out the shop. Do graduation top of the list. Then, full send it wherever compass points
Glad it was a nice note. I had a jerk yell at me when parked in that exact same spot last winter. It’s a great spot - too bad some people have to show what miserable creatures they are.
Funny about the double "Ds". For a while, I thought you were saying "double visas". Then I realized you were saying "Vs" but I thought it stood for the peace sign. Glad you explained that it stands for "V" van city and "V" for van life. Ha, ha.
It's so nice when people leave sweet notes on Chrome's van just make sure to put them in a baggie LOL
Chrome if you want help setting up a WiFi mesh network for your shop, please feel free to reach out. I have been working in the IT industry for over 3 decades now but what you are wanting is totally possible
Put the rims on Emily van
Well you probably did the legs already. But my little idea would be black legs. From a distance the black legs would blend with the lower black of the walls. Giving a floating shelves look. Just another idea that's probably a little late 😵💫
You are on your way Chrome! The best things in life are in store for you!
with the door: safety for the people too! It's a forklift door.
13:19 seriously, you have a shower now! No excuses to not get clean before bed.
When are the washer n dryer coming in?
GAME CHANGER!!! ❤❤
Washer and dryer are there already :)
Funny I was thinking the same thing 😂 you have a shower and washer and dryer no excuse 😂
@@Makeitbymandyoh I missed that 👍🏻😁
Love Chrome and Cruz ! ❤ 👍👍. ✌️✌️
Hey Chrome and Cruzie. Have A Fabulous Week 💙💙✌️
Maybe get a weathered grey or black wood stain so you could still see the wood grain, definitely would give it a different aesthetic vs using the too much the same colors
Consider starting your summer trips after Graduation.
Finish your odds and ends so you
can enjoy your playtime.
The shop is coming together. Thanks for the video!
As an owner of double Ds that was quite a giggle.
Same!😂😂😂😂
You deserve a break today! LOVE THE NEW SHOP! 😊🎉
Black or grey legs is too matchy matchy eith the walls. I say paint the legs white to make it look like a set with your other white & wood top cabinet. Also the white will pop against the grey & black walls.
Simple to say 'simple, just close the door'. But what happens when you or someone forgets? Or you leave it open to use it, then get sidetracked? Plus, is there not something in H&S laws that states there must be some sort of barrier for open areas with risk of fall from height? I'll be sure there is. If a person falls from there, im sure your insurance wont pay. Just feel you are not taking it serious, its probably the biggest danger in that shop.
The problem with that is any system that could be put there to prevent someone from falling would require someone to remember to close it otherwise it's just like the door
Give the tires to Emmy
The tread looks pretty rough...not much life left in the rubber just the rims.
Emmy has a chevy i think
won't fit
No, she also has a Ford@@ianhumphry1
HEY! Hello Chrome and Cruz!!
Chrome, for your wifi lookup wifi boosters. They'll boost the broadcasting signal or the receptiveness. You only need a slight signal on the outside wall to boost it. Also I wouldn't paint the benches black personally because it makes black screws and other dark colored items on shelves more difficult to see without added LED lighting above each shelf, plus black is harder to keep looking nice than lighter colors.
Cruz is so sweet and friendly. Love him😊❤❤
Chrome, start in Alberta! Close, cheaper gas, great mountain views and an easy drive back to see Danika graduate
Need put something on top of cabinet so corner one ... Stuff will not fall in backof it
*Having stuff that actually gets used isn't hoarding.*
Says every hoarder ever!lol
@@waltersway3889 thanks for the chuckle!✌🏼
@@waltersway3889 Hoarders keep everything and rarely use anything; that's a big difference. Do you call each store you enter a hoarding situation? Or thrift shops hoarding stores? There really is a difference. I don't have anything to hoard but, I know the difference when I see it.
LIVING THE DREAM GUYS!!
✌️✌️
Don't forget to put a small freezer in the work shop up stairs.
So excited about the new shop! 🪛🛠️🔧
Morning weirdos🎉❤
I love you Chrome. Thanks for another video! You rock!!! Happy Sunday!!!
Grey would look nice!
Hire a student to assemble those cabinets and minor painting.
Read and follow the instructions……I learned the hard way…..many, many times before.
Love how your dog is supervising and helping open stuff up!❤
Hey Chrome and Cruz 😎🐕🚐 Love ya Bro!! So many exciting things going on!! Keep Rocking Bro 🤘🇨🇦👍👍
Chrome will you ever do the VanCity VanLife shirt like you have on here in a short sleeve version?
Tank Top , muscle shirts. Its all i wear
Ok Chrome with all those extra cabinets don’t get any ideas about more hoarding!🤪
Them wheels would look great on Emma’s
Stay in town until after your little cuties graduation. My little cutie, Granddaughter is graduating college and starting Law School in the fall.
May the 4th be with you Chrome and friends.
Chrome I am soooo proud of you and your amazing growth throughout the years ❤️ 💯
You are a genuine inspiration to so many more than you'll ever be aware of bro! 🤙✌️✌️❤️
Much love to you and Cruzy ❤
Stay safe and well everyone 🙏 ❤️ ✌️✌️
Cnc machines are awesome. They can do awesome stuff. 😊
Come to the States, the average gas price is .97 cents a liter. You can camp out at my lake cabin 😊
Nothin wrong with a set of DD's
Apparently you’re not the bearer of the burden. 🤔😅
🤣🤣🤣
I actually like the wood tone.
Double V up! ✌🏼✌🏼
Have you heard of a place in British Columbia called rabbit island or something like that
Stain the wood. Don't paint it!
Morning buddy
The double DD s got me laughing. 🤣
Shop, then Graduation, then Summer trip. Sequence it. Stay present for each. Even if Summer travel is shorter this year, it won’t feel like it.
There needs to be a video of someone dancing around or maybe on top of your van while you sleep at night. lol
Grey legs! and if it doesn't work with the walls the way you like, the black will look better for having the grey undercoat
You have come a long way chrome... God Bless...
Leave the wood WOOD!! So there is that much contrast!!
Have you thought about, maybe, painting the legs on those pieces white, rather than black or gray? Just a thought . . . Love your videos!
Yea, but what if that pull cord to the garage door is on the floor, Cruzie could bite it.
Cruz is cute ❤
Keep the table legs natural. It's a warm touch to the contemporary.
Yes a $35 dollar repeater . Wireless and plug into 120 volt. And it works great.
Puppy 🐶 has a beautiful smile too
Ya' JAMMIN' MY BROTHA😏.
lol this cracks me up. It’s wanting to translate your message to English
Omg Cruzie's face from the floor 😂❤
I would leave it the way it is. It gives a great contrast.
I don’t think it would be cheesy to paint the legs Gray. I think it would look Sharp!! Nice Gray Legs! Everything Looks GREAT!!!❤
Glad things are going well. We all have those days when we don't feel like putting cabinets together :)
The funds are tight all over and we all have to rethink travel plans.
Take care and be safe.
I like the legs of the benches the color that they are in the video. Gives nice contrast with the other colors.
3-4 on and 4-5 off is the way to go! Enjoy your videos (nearly) everyday. Shop looks amazing.
I love the positivity here❤
Nice
Heck yes chrome thx sharing love it
One way to preserve the prints during washing, wash the items inside out.
You can externally wire a Wi-Fi transmitter or repeater on the outside of the building they can tie into wherever you’re Internet service wires meet the building
I am very interested in your wheel and tires
Leave it wood color. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Wood is nice looking with all your painted stuff.
Gray would be a good choice. Keep the travels close to home since you just got the shop started plus save money.
Don’t you have some white in there, like maybe the ceiling? White would bring that all together.
OMG DOUBLE DD'S😅😅😅
❤✌️✌️
Heck yes chrome let’s see the backwoods soon ! Can’t wait !
Double D's lol...that made me laugh 😂
Chrome the shop looks so cool 😎😎
Omg DD ‘s….. laughed so hard!!!
Congrats on the graduation! You definitely shouldn't miss that. As for a road trip, you should check out the desert south west here in the states. I have a few spots I could point you toward you'll never forget. We have some of the most amazing sunrise / sunsets you'll ever see here in Arizona.
Add a set of helpers to your leaf springs !
Your getting a little burned out.
Take a break. You guys deserve it ✌️
Have her the first van build in new shop
Cruzie just loves Loran - 😂❤😂 (it’s adorable 🥰)…
Nice to get nice notes 😊
shop looks great Chrome !!!
Great episode 😊have fun and stay safe out there my friend enjoy 😊❤
How about black stain, that way you can still see the wood grain!!!
Paint all the legs grey and paint the wood shelfs red or black.
Just get a safety net goes across can keep door open
A man reading instructions. You’ve got to be kidding. Lol
Mesh WiFi routers would be an easy way to expand the WiFi to outside. You just need a power outlet for each node. Lots of options out here, the amazon Eero goes on sale every once in awhile.
What about downsizing for your trip next summer? Maybe this year you can build out a minivan for just long haul trips. It will get probably twice the MPG as your van. You can still lift it, and trick it out. Maybe bring a tent along for some extra space. Just a thought for some content, and practicality all in one.
