For the people complaining about him saying Home Depot...well everyone makes mistakes , just get over it. The video was so much more important than the mistake. You all knew exactly what he meant. That is the problem in the world....people are focusing on the distraction vs the the big picture.
Saucy Chica “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”-Theodore Roosevelt
Andrew Martinez yes and I am sure that Teddy would not be happy with the critics that rush to attack Chrome for just saying home Depot. His videos help those of us that are searching for a happy life understand that it is not always found by living like everybody else. I would think that Teddy would look at the context of the video and see that no harm was intentional nor was any harm done...a human man living on earth without mistakes is a human man living a lie...Saucy Chica💖
You all misunderstood..... He mean to say the "Canadian" Home depot as in canadas version of home depot. The mistake was when he mention home depot when talking abt the latches... Is that the part you were refering to?
👏exactly!
It’s not called Home Depot ? I thought that’s the name. In the US. Walmart allows overnight parking. I’m confused as to what is going on here.
"After all you are our customers" :) I freaking love it !
Like the latches! And good to know on the towels. I have like 5 over sized towels I'm taking with me. I will be officially moved into my van on Monday!! Squeeeeee!!!!!! I'm so excited
I love that you are so positive. My husband and I bought an rv in 2005 and were going to rent out our home and take off with our 2 dogs. We thought it was something no one else ever thought of. In 2006 my husband became disabled and I couldn't see how to carry all that was needed and that we needed to be close to hospitals. So I got rid of the rv and keep it in the back of my mind. My husband has been hospitalized since Dec 8 2017 and i started looking into things just out of boredom. Aside from a few really informative channels, I like your positive outlook. I've seen a lot of negative crap while checking out things over the years and I may do a cargo trailer conversion with my husband as a traveling vacation home or park it down the shore in jersey, just waiting for him to get better. I never stopped dreaming of traveling the country and Canada, and will keep watching your positive channel, and maybe someday we will meet you.
Hugs and I hope you have been able to realize your dream! 🤗
We use mosquito netting and magnets it's super simple I hope you get it it's cheap and quick to put on.
I'm thrilled to see you cooking your own meals in the van. That's what van life is all about. Making your own grub and keeping that coin in your pocket :-)
That's awesome I've worked at Home Hardware where I live for almost a decade now. You still have a home, yours just happens to be wheels. I'm seriously thinking about embarking on a road trip to BC in a van from Saskatchewan this summer. Your videos inspire me.
Great video Hun that egg and peppers looked yummy XX
Home Hardware, one of the few hardware stores still selling steel snow shovels instead of plastic or aluminium. To those who don't know, Home Hardware is not Home Depot, Home Hardware is a Canadian company that has it's stores in smaller more rural towns. You usually have to drive about an hour out of the city to find one.
Key word "Canadian"
Yackety Yak (don't talk back) by The Coasters. Pretty sure your right probably a 50's song. When we were young and would clean the house with my mom on the weekends she'd always play that song😁you brought back a memory, thanks.
That's one reason why I try not to do any shopping at Wal-Mart.
Because you’re homeless and want to sleep there too?
Walmart effing sucks nobody should shop there!
Sorry to see the no parking signs chrome, but heck yeah Home Depot thank you!!! Looks like your on another adventure huh? Man I just can't get over that beautiful landscape y'all have... Well enjoy yalls day and stay safe.. God bless... Wuz up Disco??
To get rid of the bugs and mos get some Dr. Bronners peppermint liquid soap, put 4 tbps in a spray bottle and fill with water. Spray your van walls and around the outside and no more bugs. Can use minty mouth wash too. IT WORKS!!
New to your channel, I began following three weeks ago, I truly enjoy your videography... And yes, I have day dreamed since childhood, of owning my own personal train caboose, as a residence. Anywho, I wanted to let you know, great job on your channel, and to combat mosquitoes and other insects naturally, purchase an oil diffuser, using essential oils such as peppermint or lemon balm, will aid in keeping insects at bay. Peace!
It is like the Cain and Abel of parking lots.
Aaack I did, I did have too many towels.. and too many books.. and kitchen "tools"... Etc.. VGH thrift store just got a big donation!
But I'm in my HOME ON WHEELS! THANK YOU CHROME for the encouragement, common sense, and tips 🌈💜 just in time for 🇨🇦long weekend!!
Love your positivity. Very inspiring and motivating. Thank you for your work. Love Disco also!
"Cat", here! One great thing about doing the interior ambo conversion electrical system as a "110v only (no 12v) power pack system" is you can have things like a 110v small microwave and/or hot air frier, coffee maker, etc., etc., etc.? Don't need no stinkin' generator either..........unless you want one (make it a small propane genverter)! But, forget those electronic glass top convection thingys...........gas is the only way to go for stove top cooking? And, thanks "Cr", for all you do.........makes our days a bit brighter!
Hi from Tennessee! Been watching this and wanted to recommend that you get a Red Copper pan! They never stick! Love your van life. Keep it up!
denise heaton, thank you. This is so my plan, as well. I've loved those things in the house.
Dude, I love watching your videos. Your wonderful attitude is contagious and appreciated! Have a Great Day Chrome and Disco! You guys still ROCK!
Very cool all the sights you see along the way. Man, I couldn't believe all those mosquitoes there. I hope you've got Disco on some type of heartworm medication, especially during the warmer months.
You could do the middle drawer latch from the top down. If you buy some black net curtain 'voile' and some magents, you could make mosquito netting for all the entrances of your van,its much cheaper than trying to find ready mades. When you clean your pans, rub some salt around inside with kitchen paper and a little drop of cooking oil ,it will find all the little bits that you thought you got off when you washed it and help stuff not stick as much the next time. Loved that Red train car :)
Hey, bro, for the top drawers of your dresser, turn your latches 90° and instead of the latch on the drawer, put the latch on the dresser so the bolt will drop down in front of the three top drawers in to the bolt loop which you attach to the drawers rather than the dresser itself.
Mmm, mushrooms.... yummy!
Yanky, Yanky don't talk back.... Lol.. That was a nice little cabin but yeah shady lookin. Liking that train car and Disco seems to be enjoying the ride, just chillin as usual. Take care guys...
Frying pan....bed pan....maybe the common thread was.....they were all flat and easy to hang up?? Funny juxtaposition, you made me laugh out really loud! Thanx, I needed that.
Geesh Chrome..its Home Hardware - the one owned and operated by Canadians!
OMG that song is a classic, such a upbeat tune and I have not heard it in such a llllllooooonnnnggggg time.
Thank you for bringing it back, plus been watching your videos for a while now too you and disco are giving me ideas and long time goals for me to have my own home on wheels and to go and explore around the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
“Never stop being you and I’ll never stop being me. Your uk weirdo subscriber 🇬🇧🤟🏻
Lol love it! that hardware sign was so passive aggressive 😂😂😂
"I feel so grown up right now." Those moments... Lol.
I think I love you, Chrome. 🤣😉😎
"Yakity yak, Don't talk back..."
50's. By Yakity Sax
Really neat old antique stores...
I looked a long time for a railroad car to live in. Found a caboose, but it was in much like the shape that one was... Lover dog wants to drive, is what it is....❤👍Loverly wideo.
2 times you referred to Home Hardware as home Depot both times you were at the Home Hardware sign, maybe that craft beer is killing braincells ....lol
I enjoyed how you made your point about shopping where the store made its customers feel welcome.
Love your music Chrome! Its Relaxing and calming. Thanks
That wasn't a Walmart exclusive property and most likely Walmart leased their store space from a property management group who leases out to all the stores. Walmart's that own their own property generally aren't reluctant to allow overnight parking unless there is a local ordinance against overnight parking within city/town limits. When Walmart leases their property they don't have any say as to parking.
Thanks for what you do. I love BC Home hardware rocks! Take care.
you need a battery operated fan, maybe a couple to chase away the mosquitos...The extended drawers to support a counter top is cool, I just saw a RV'r named Tikki who purchased a precut 3/4" piece of plywood and was painting a food friendly finish on it to use just as you could do - measure the safest length of extending the drawers to support a counter top and you too could have a very efficient use of space ! The 'Peter Pine Daze'..is cool, those are places you just gotta peak into...Yes, I too can imagine living in a caboose just as someone apparently considered that one as a home. Thanks for sharing.
I hear Wally Mart is getting funky in the US too. You have to call in advance or go online. Still bingeing. Joined patreon yesterday. Woo hoo! I’m officially a Weirdo! I make a spray out of witch hazel and citronella for my puppy. I use it first to make sure it’s not too strong. Helps to keep the bugs off of him. Get a diffuser for ten bucks. So many good essential oils to keep the bugs at bay.That setup with the 3 draws and your desk top would be perfect when you have someone over for dinner. Just need a little collapsible chair.
"Yakkity-yak" by The Coasters. Lol!
🙌🏾”Screw houses, live in a 🚂”.....love it! ❤️😎🐶
Cast iron for cooking. Dude I love your videos they keep me motivated to get out and adventure. Thanks man.
"I feel so grown up right now" Christ, I've said it before, I'll say it again... Spirit animal! Dammit, nothing feels better than discovering a hidden talent. Whether it be creating a masterpiece or something basic and functional. A bachelor-meal recipe that is tasty and healthy, derived from either curiosity or necessity... it doesn't matter, it's a massive boost to personal growth. Kudos on you, bro!
Have a wonderful day. Love your videos. Love your positivity
Hey Chrome, when you cross the border into the US in Montana there is the Izaak Walton Inn near Glacier National Park, you can spend the night in restored cabooses.
your a cool dude chrome, i hope we meet sometime
next time you have a camp fire, wrap a few taters in foil.
then cut up the leftovers and add to your scrambled eggs
for breakfast (yum yum)
I love the East Kootenays, actually anywhere in the Kootenays but then I'm a Nelson 'Walley' Girl! A lot of smaller towns want to have tourists stop for the night because there is a chance they will leave some money behind. Up where I am you can park almost anywhere.
I have made myself a 'big shirt'. It's a huge shirt that I've saturated in repellents. I can carry it around with me and not have to spray myself down.
I think Yack is where an elephant escaped from a circus train.
Have an awesome trip and stay weird! Love to you and Disco!
Wow, I am taken aback by that Wal-Mart sign. Most RVer's shop at Wal-Mart. They even have an RV section for corn sake. I wonder if Target or K-Mart wants our business. BTW, I just got back from Home Depot. I bought an outdoor carpet and some kitchen supplies. I am building out my van so I scoped out some cabinets and flooring there too. :) My builder is purchasing 1/4" sanded finished Birch plywood for the walls and 1/4" tongue and grove for the ceiling.... ALL OF IT IS HOME DEPOT! Love that store!!! Thanks Home Depot for letting RVer's park there. Sometimes, we just need 6 hours of counting sheep before we can get up and move on. No doubt most RVer's are gone by 8:00 am unless they need more goodies from Home Depot. :) Oh, I just read that it was Home Hardware ... well, I'm in Southern CA so I take my shopping at H.D. Good on you Home Hardware!!
The best part of making your own meals is that U know what's in them. There is SO much sodium in everything, along with extra fats no one needs. The more U cook, the better U will get. Nice seeing all your growth💪
We use say that we've been to Yack and back. Ha ha. That area was big for gold and silver back in the day. The access to water transportation made moving people and materials easier.
Hello dahling! !!😉 that little town was so cute, lost in time. That was a great vid Chrome!!😜
Bravo to HOME HARDWARE 👌🏼 wow just saw this video now Jan 2019 ☀️ You were so close to us in the Rockies!
Great video Chrome! For the Skeeters, burn some dry tea leaves or incense. Get yourself a 8" cast iron skillet, and a small spray bottle. Fill the bottle with half vinegar and half water. Use a paper towel and vinegar spray to wipe out your pan and wipe down your other dishes. Works like a charm, and it's cheap, plus the vinegar kills germs. You can also use that spray for cleaning your windows. Have fun Bro!
Some Walmarts signage says no overnight parking ( at least here in the USA), but when you ask the manager if it's ok they say it is for a day or two; just don't abuse it. So it just depends on the local situation. Home Depot is definitely a traveler's friend, though. :)
"Yackety Yack, Don't Talk Back!" (by The Coasters) Cool VID. 😊👍❤️
Chrome your turning into a gourmet chef!!!! lol
Hi Chrome! Get some peppermint oil, lavender oil, or tea tree oil. Put a few drops in water in spray bottle and spray around van and on yourself. Check to see if it's safe around pets. Also put basil in a nylon stocking (knee-hi stockings from local drug store) and hang around van. Peppermint and basil plants are good too.
Ms Twistedtressys peppermint oil yes but Lavender is not good for a man's libido
Jim Woods Nonsense! Lavender has been used in men's colognes and toiletries for centuries.
If you say so.
The tests showed that lavender and tea tree oils may boost estrogen (a sex hormone that promotes female characteristics and is linked to breast development) and hamper androgens (sex hormones that promote malecharacteristics and inhibit breast growth).
"I feel so grown up right now." AHAHAHAHA! Classic.
Wow, I remember camping there at Yahk 50 years ago, as we were passing through! My brother and I couldn't believe there was just a tiny general store there. The owners daughter was blind and went to the Jericho School for the Blind, down by Spanish Banks / Jericho Beach in Vancouver where you and Disco hang out, Chrome! Small world.... :)
Lisa C. Isn’t it Jericho School for the Deaf?
You showed the signs at Walmart, with those campers very obviously parked in the lot! They don’t tow you away. I stayed in my high roof van for five weekends straight in a Walmart lot with signs. We were left alone, but they kicked out a couple who put Reflectix in all their car windows. Appearance is everything!
For mosquitos I have used the citronella type tea lights, cheap easy, works like a charm. Close all doors and windows except one, leave a crack open for them to escape, light the candles and 'fumigate' the van.
no thanks wall mart, you don't need the money. Home hardware rocks! great video
Yakety yak, don't talk back as I remember it, lol. ❤ ya! Disco forever loved
Yakety Yak Don't TALK BACK. Your eggs looked delicious. Wandering Jimmy has some good van life cooking videos. I love how you eat healthy. You'll learn to cook foods that appeal to you. Practice makes perfect and youtube videos help. Disco rules.
I enjoy seeing what vanners eat. Gives me ideas.
Keep it up dude, love your chat from the uk
Still love your videos Chrome. Keep up the good work. Your dish looked good to me. Remember practice makes perfect. You'll get better and better at it. Have a great day Chrome and give Disco a big ol hug for me.
Great video Chrome. Love the abandoned buildings....interesting contents . If you ever get to Nova Scotia, stop in a town called Tatamagouch, it has the old train station turned into a museum , with cabooses like those turned into motel type rooms , and a dining car that is a restaurant. You'll love it. Nice clip of ordering your Tims, getting the double double....nectar of the Gods , I replied to one of the posters on this video who asked what a double double was. It is a CDN thing to order our coffee that way. When I order my large double double.. I call it, getting my "Timunization" !
If I weren't already, I would definitely be their customer, after seeing that!
Thank you, Chrome!
Ok, so just watched your other vid about your morning coffee creamer...try the powdered creamers and you'll get a lot more in less space, also, try a spray bottle of avocado oil for non stick, bottle is small and a little goes a really long way! (costco has it, if you have that.) I have fun watching your vids and scenery is amazing, thanks!
I Love Your Style Chrome!!!
Those cabinets are great! Good job!
We just bought a small battery operated lantern with a mosquito repellent thing, wish me luck! Lol!
Love those pubs with cool vibes & great names: The Horny Owl, 2 drunken goats, the purple pickle, the last caboose 🚂🥒🐐🦉😀. And great message of kindness to pass along, "I love your style." 😚
soy sauce too. A pickers delight in Yahk in that building. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
We used to Cruise to Yack and back as teens.....LOL
Enjoyable!! Lots of fun!! 💖🚐🎞 👍🏻 ☮️💟🐶🌿🎶
I don't like to cook but as I tell my clients in home health, "I'll keep you alive". I DO like to make what I call 'creations'. You made a creation and it looked good!
YES...U and DISCO are SUPER-COOL!!!😎👍😎
Get some skin so soft from Avon and just spray a little in your Van if you can stand the smell of it .They'll leave you alone. Also your cooking looked great and healthy! I really can't wait to check the antique store out so cool. Love the train!
SSS is amazing. I love the bath oil, it really does help repel them!
😆 😆 cooking will make you feel grown! Lol.. And doin the dishes! Xxoo cuz I believe you used to just eat out all the time!! 😆 xxoo
don't talk back chrome.love u being weirdo! beautiful train. live in that too! wood stove. solar. disco so cute.
Saw someones house setup in a caboose it was awesome. Yak a Dee yak don't talk back. Thanks for the side trip to Yakh
Chrome , have you tried SPAGHETTI yet, ...it’s an EZ meal to prepare.
FRY hamburg, plus onions, mushrooms, etc, ADD a JAR of fav sauce,
& COOK noodles. Need fry pan & a pot for noodles ...
..Ooops, a cheap strainer to drain noodles comes in handy ! Yackety Yak .
Trivia yackety-yack is done by the coasters ,l have seen on you tube train car flips very cool the Reno is great and creative
Oh wow! Good idea with the extra counter space! In case you couldn't tell I'm commenting as I'm watching the video LOL so is things pop up I'm commenting on them
Some great music in this video. Bed pan heaven.
I've had a couple Walmarts (Ottawa-area) where you couldn't park overnight, but those were both smaller Walmarts in a strip mall. I talked to the manager and it's because they don't own the lot there, it's basically rented, which makes sense, so there's usually private security. It looks the same in your video, lots of stores. I stay away from those Walmarts. I Google street view lots to see what's there before I head out, always opting for standalone WMs.
Love Home Hardware, true Canadian
P.S. I see your two Camp Day bracelets! I'm wearing the orange one :D
Just saw a review on Blue Diamond pans. Nothing sticks, and a big one $20. Your breakfast looked awesome.
Yakety Yack don't talk back.
The Coasters - ruclips.net/video/-WfDYssJMqs/видео.html
Citronella candles are good too for getting rid of mosquitoes
Spray oil works great, plus it looks yummy.
That just made me reprioritize getting a big screen. 😝
Walmart ain't playing!
Alot of that has to do with Walmart's typically not investing in private security guards relying on local police instead and of course the founder of Walmart having died hence the franchise holders are feeling more emboldened.
I grew up in a place where there were lots of mosquitoes. When you started talking about them I started feeling itchy. 😏
Hooray for Home Depot it's nice ti know they appreciate their RVing customers. Chrome you are always thinking of ways to make your home more versatile. Open door says come on in caboose is really cool. Edit,, Home Hardware not Home Depot? I'm confused. Either way it's nice of them to be so hospitable.
I shudder at the thought of those mosquitoes. 😖
Yes when Walmart is in a outdoor mall area they do not allow overnight parking for some reason, but I did not not know about Home Depot.
I am going to look at Canadian tire for magnetic mosquito nets to put on my van.
Thank you for posting an as usual,
Fantastic Vid.
👍🏼🌸
The Walmart in Charlottetown, PEI will not allow overnight parking. Another van dweller asked permission. Because Walmart is only part of a large mall,the parking lot does not belong to Walmart. The owner of the parking lot prohibits it. Walmart has no say.
I had to dubble check the date when loaded to you tube, lol. I first noticed inside your can was way different, then I had to check the outside. Something was off, then I checked the date loaded, and realized this is an old viedo, LOL
Thanks for Sharing the unique properties.
Ya need to get one of the small Dynatraps-they really work. Check out amazon for portable mosquito repellers like Thermacell (for camping), especially the ratings. I also personally use an electric bug zapper with handle (looks a lot like a tennis racquet-I think Walmart has them; also on amazon.).
Nice video!
Home hardware sells great telescopic fly swats you know. I have two, take one in my tent or backpack. One in my car, because I always gets mosquitos or wasps in my car.
