I CANT WAIT to decorate the shop for Christmas!!! I just pulled my decor out of the garage this weekend. Kiddos said I was crazy, so I started singing Christmas music!!😂
@ Hi Yeti!! Hope you are doing well :) i will decorate the inside before i decorate the outside, but thats because i decorate for me and just loveeee looking at it all. Lol ✌️
You can do both, live at the shop and when you want to go out for adventures or simply just go camping, you can sleep in your van.Cruzie seems to love the shop, so at least once or twice a week, you can make Cruzie happy. In the end, he is the star of Van City van life.😊🐶
Chrome, baby shampoo doesn't burn your eyes. My optometrist told me to shampoo my eye lashes with it to keep bacteria etc. from building up. It surely beats the burn from the other stuff!!
It burned mine. Don't trust that. Lol 😮 they make shampooer eye lashes. I might just happen to get mine done. They have spookiest to keep the hairs etc out. Prob have a eye lash growin wrong. My daughter gets stys all the time. She has one now. No matter how much gold or diamonds she rubs on it. It comes back. If you have it you might need to lance it. If it's itchy eye coukd be dry eyes too. Drops help. The wind can cause it too. Allergies etc. Get you a air purifier for the van. Keeps dust pillinbdiggy dander etc out te van n your eyes. 😊
@pdfaulkner1517 Very good point, I was thinking something along the same line, why do you need some expensive uselessness product with side effects ... !
Thank you Chrome and Cruz. A big hi and like from Sydney Australia. You always have been an inspiration on how to be yourself. Thanks again. Peace out.
You can buy a bottle of blepharitis liquid cleaner you apply with a lint free pad to clean your eyes every morning, it lasts a lot longer imo. I was honestly surprised when you were kitting out the upstairs of the shop that you didnt buy either a murphy bed or a sofa/pullout bed after you had the trouble with the van earlier this year.
I was told by optomologist to use diluted baby shampoo (diluted 1 to 1) and daily just wash your eyes and lids while in the shower. She said it was something that happens with age. She called it maintenance.
CHROME, since you are already doing t-shirts, have you ever thought about doing blankets, towels, scarves, or even little dog shirts. Just an idea. Safe travels😊
I had blepharitis for a short bit and had to do a similar eye wash but it didn't burn at all. Suggestion: when you're done using the prescription stuff you can just use baby shampoo with a washcloth everyday. 👍👍
Stay in the van life dude. Your name is sinomous with that lifestyle, your the go to guy more or less for that life style. Plus you still seem to dig it. Only YOU will know when youve had enough. And when that time comes, BOUNCE BROTHER!
My ophthalmologist told me to use Johnson's "no more tears "baby shampoo to wash my eyelashes because its gentle and doesn't burn if you get it in your eyes and much cheaper than the other stuff.
Hey Chrome - I had a similar thing happen with my eye - it turned out to be Ocular Rosacea (presents like a dry eye) - I thought I was going blind when it first started happening. If you have normal Rosacea (often called adult acne), you may also have have the Ocular type (same sebaceous glands in your skin are in your eyelid . .to lube your eye) -BUT- you don't/can't have the ocular type without having normal type. You don't look like having Rosacea, but if you're experiencing dry eye, I found flaxseed oil was the boss - totally no issues with my lids now. I take 2x 1g capsule am/pm a day - watch out - too much will eff with your sh!t . .literally though 🤣. I got recommended special washes like the one you have, but in the end I just make sure I wash my eyes well each shower, moisturise the lids after and take the flaxseed oil. Near as I can figure, the moisture lotion keeps the lids' lube ducts from sealing when they dry out . .until the natural lube kicks in. You just need a tiny bit - I dilute the lotion with water in my hand first and dry with towel - that stuff can sting. ALSO, you can coax the lube to start after your shower with massage or blinking slow/heavily half a dozen times - pretty effective too. None of this was told to me by any doctor - it was years of trying to cope and researching for solutions - hope this helps you or someone else.
My Transit 250 came with a backup camera. I didn't think I needed one, after driving a 4WD Suburban with a lift for years. Now that I have it, I wish I had a dash cam. Maybe it's time for you to upgrade so you don't have to worry about backing into anything 🤔

Have the front of the shirt with his head and his eyes looking up like he does when you’re talking to him and on the back of shirt have his butt. That would be so awesome. ❤❤
I used baby shampoo with a Qtip and lightly scrub my eyelashes. Then an antibiotic gel. The doctor gave me. Cupping your hand with hot water and let your eye soak for a few seconds really helps also.
Uplifting video and exciting for a Cruzie l-sleeve shirt or a hoodie. Definitely a mug shot of Cruzie on the back and his paw prints up the sleeve. Smooches for Cruzie 💋 🐾 🦴
i believe you can find a metal version of the license plate bolt lights to replace the plastic ones. they may last longer or maybe just a low profile type license plate light to help with the smacking things on backup lol. thank you chrome for your content and the great personality you have.
Please don’t put those harsh chemicals on ur eyes brother just get some coconut oil it’s anti bacterial and anti fungal you can use it for Cruze too for his nose and if he ever get an ear infection it’s great
All my van lifers are in Canada. I need to get up there next year. Weirdos unite. Thx I had to use my mister buddy sometimes, just crack the window….maybe. That green should be that head, like the one you have on. Love that.
Hey crome, you might want to run hot water on a Q-tip and apply a small amount of Zocufoam to the tip to 'gently' clean your eyelashes, then use fresh wet Q-tips to remove the foam. You'll probably need to rinse twice or more each sesson. Careful not to touch the Q-tip to your eye ball, just use it onyour lashes and around the outer eye area. I do this every morning and just using warm water - it works for me. :)
Hey chrome it seems to me that Cruz has difficulty walking down the stairs. He’s reluctant most of the times would you consider putting a ramp in for him?
Chrome, you can use a rolling mechanic side box as a desk and put the clutter in the drawers. I had my computer and office clutter in a cheap import rolling side box for years at our shop.
I don't understand how people love to watch nomadic channels... who are people who like change... then the get mad when they change. Please just live your best life... eff the nay sayers... just not literally. 😀 😂
Why not make Vancity Vanlife dog hoodies and t-shirts? Put Cruz's cute little face on one of those? Cruz wants an entire line of his own dog wear. Your welcome 🙂
Why don’t you just move in to the shop……..is it Cruze bugging you with that 😂. That’s what I imagine he’s thinking every time he doesn’t want to leave 🤣🤣
I have dry eyes actually sjogens . I have been cleaning my lids and eyelashes daily , I have a spray for after my shower eyes wipes designed to clean eyelashes. Also prescription eye drops twice daily. I cannot wear any eye make up and no soap . If the wash doesn’t work try the drops and wipes my eyes are stable and feel good no gritty feeling anymore.

I CANT WAIT to decorate the shop for Christmas!!! I just pulled my decor out of the garage this weekend. Kiddos said I was crazy, so I started singing Christmas music!!😂
I find it more crazy to wait until snow to put up Christmas decor. It is much better to work outside in above freezing temperatures.
@ Hi Yeti!! Hope you are doing well :) i will decorate the inside before i decorate the outside, but thats because i decorate for me and just loveeee looking at it all. Lol ✌️
Amanda! It’s not even thanksgiving yet and you want a Xmas tree?? 😂😂😂 girl you crack me up!❤
Have a fun week Chrome!❤👍🏻✌🏼✌🏼
Yupper!! I was asking before Halloween!! 😂

Chrome, You say LET'S GO a lot. Hand printed look in a whitewash (beige) on just a bit of an angle, would look great. I'd buy one.
Your so right! Chrome does say "Let's Go" alot. It would make a great shirt and hoodie
Any merch with Cruzie Bear should have the tag line “I drool where I want!!!”
I agree with ya Chrome, everyone has a way of life they want !! 🎉❤

Put your receipts in a Ziploc plastic bag and that way it doesn't get wet
That's what I do 😊
I know it's been asked, but what the heck happened to Loren? I realize he's been on his hunting season and semi-retired and all... Just wondering.
It’s a shop, not your home. Your van is your home, as we’ve all known for all this time. Why ask why, people?
You can buy a bottle of blepharitis liquid cleaner you apply with a lint free pad to clean your eyes every morning, it lasts a lot longer imo. I was honestly surprised when you were kitting out the upstairs of the shop that you didnt buy either a murphy bed or a sofa/pullout bed after you had the trouble with the van earlier this year.
Purple sweatshirt, something with Cruz’s picture saying “hey dude, I’m trying to sleep right now”.
Or, “Got treats?”
Have Amanda pick out the Christmas Tree!
Ooooooo purple, cruzie the bulldog king hoodie.. I WANT ONE :)
Chrome how about try a Murphy Bed upstairs. Store away when it is not needed.
The upstairs looks really big on video, but there is no space to put a Murphy bed
Pull out couch
@ he already has a couch. There is no extra space to add anything more furniture wise up there lol
I was told by optomologist to use diluted baby shampoo (diluted 1 to 1) and daily just wash your eyes and lids while in the shower. She said it was something that happens with age. She called it maintenance.
Wireless backup camera should help prevent some unwanted backing into cement walls lol
I have 6 months and I’ll be living the van life
CHROME, since you are already doing t-shirts, have you ever thought about doing blankets, towels, scarves, or even little dog shirts. Just an idea. Safe travels😊
Chrome just install the darn backup camera already. Lol ✌️❤️

Purple is royalty color, put a crown on Cruse and call him king of the road😂
Oops " Cruze"

How about some plush stuffed animals. I’d collect the entire VV crew, especially Cruz.
I have been watching Matthew from VanlifePlus for a few years, and love his content. Shame you both Chrome haven’t bumped into each other on a video.
Back in the day Chrome was in Calgary and did a van tour with Matthew, go check it out 😁
@MsSoozy excellent, thank you very much for the heads up. Just watched Matthew’s older video with Chrome.
@ you are most welcome 😉
My ophthalmologist told me to use Johnson's "no more tears "baby shampoo to wash my eyelashes because its gentle and doesn't burn if you get it in your eyes and much cheaper than the other stuff.
Those hex lights are a great idea. It makes it look like you're in a store or shop or something. Oh, wait...
Cruze is living his best life. We just get to be part of the orbit.
Your Shoes......Flush Them Out...Drain As Well As Possible Then Stuff With Newspaper ....Change Paper Daily Until Dry....2 or 3 Days Likely
thanks for sharing about the eyelash thing, it never occured to me and I might have a similar issue.
Me too. I washed my eye lids right after with hypo allergenic soap. Did eye brows too.
Emon and Becky are also from Canada 🇨🇦 also. Love that couple and their new baby girl!
Awe I love eamon and bec and Little Frankie Lee

Perfect example of Canadian Tire - heater, mattresses, Christmas stuff, pencil cases and chips.
I guarantee those pencil cases and chips came from the dollar store around the corner from Can Tire 😂
Same eye problem as you Chrome. Make sure you wash your pillow case often as it makes a big difference.

Chrome-- love your idea for the pencil cases for storage…..I’m gonna use it….thx!
Double V's Army withe cruzy throwing up the double V's on the green hoodie would be cool.
Love all the adventures you do.
just wondering. i haven't seen you and lauren together lately. did you guys "break up"?
Who is Lauren?
Well I you ever let Cruizy sleep in that shop he may never want to sleep in the van again.😂 careful dogs can be persistent 😂
Cruse looking like a king 👑 in that chair
Get some sticky carpet pads for those black stairs for Cruz
I've been in my van 12 years some days idk why I keep doing this for
Mountains look beautiful
I'm stealing that pencil case idea 😄
Love the purple!!
For the green hoodie, put something for the Weirdo Army.
Think Weirdo Army on the Green would be bad ass
Love That Military Green.😊
You can put your muddy boots in with your dirty clothes in the washer but make sure to let them air dry or use your dry air heater to dry them out
Those boots can ruin the drum put it out of balance.

Agre as a face yogi we always try to stay away from chemicals
@ yea it’s tough to stay away from them especially when our water supply is poisoned
The green sweatshirt with a Cruzie on it and your logos would get ordered by me! Just saying!!
I love you both. You’re great. Have someone design a funny cartoon character of you and Cruz together.
Can’t wait to see his rig!
One for receipts would keep you from having the coffee disaster that you had earlier

My eye surgeon suggested I use baby shampoo to wash my lashes to remove make up and bacteria. “No more tears!” Lol. But it has helped my eyes.
Does Kell from Promenaid have a video about washing your eyelashes? 😬
Yeah it’s weird about the fireworks on Halloween but those pencils cases r a great idea. Hi Amanda
Hey chrome, if you could come up with some winter weight high-quality full zip hoodies with the van toys or only vans logos on them we would buy them.
I believe the fireworks were for "Diwali", but could be wrong.
Hey chrome it seems to me that Cruz has difficulty walking down the stairs. He’s reluctant most of the times would you consider putting a ramp in for him?
All the off-road driving shakes up everything in the van, I understand that. Always under construction is a normal necessary thing.
There are also Zocuwipe Eyelid wipes individually wrapped 😊
CRUISE, A COUPLE OF WALLS, AND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE THE BEST!! LOVE THE UPSTAIRS
👍👍 awesome chrome I’ll be watching for, well you and Cruz have a great night until the next time peace and chicken grease🐶😁👍👍👋👋😎
How about something with both Disco AND Cruz?
The weirdo's army would be great on the green sweatshirt.
Hey Chrome u keep u doing what u want love the van
Cruzie look at the pencil cases is awesome... like..."what, i can't eat these"
How many time do you have to tell people, this van is your home, some people don't get it LOL....
Maybe some people are new to the channel. ❤
Lol watching Cruisie waddle into the shop cause of the fireworks ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

How about for the green stuff a big logo " VAN ARMY " and small letters " Hide in the woods ".
And having your van is your main income and merchandise 😂
