  • OMG I FOUND THE MOST AMAZING EMERALD GREEN LAKE. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY WILD!!!
    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.

    Chrome, I agree with the idea of traveling in the fall and spring - I like winter too. Summer can suck, especially in southern Nevada. So I can build up a huge electric bill have the air conditioning on day and night or get the hell out and go to the ocean in Oregon or Washington hoping for no fires there.. You are very flexible and with your awesome attitude, things have a way of working out!

    It's so interesting watching this cause I was literally travelling through Cache Creek on the 22nd and you were there 1 day later. Yea, that spot that looks like a salty lake that's all dried up, it's pretty much always like that in the summer. A couple times in my life I've seen it with water in it but not many. I've taken that route to my family cabin in the cariboo a few hundred times at this point in my life, lol.

    I did the flea tick medication for my 2 dogs yesterday. OMG it is a challenge. I tried soaking in bacon grease and mixed in with food. They spit it out. I just put far back in their throat and hold their mouth and rub their neck to get them to swallow. They are now protected from all the bugs. I enjoy your videos. I am hoping to make the trip to Vancouver next year. Safe travels. I live in Connecticut USA.

Hopefully you will stop in on your way when you head south on your way home.

    Stick a window AC in one of your back windows. A 5000 btu unit will pull a max of 450 watts when the compressor is on. If you buy one that has a digital thermostat it will maintain temp and run very efficiently in eco mode. It's a $200 fix and your 400ah batteries can easily run that all night. They even come in Black to match your van!!!

We don’t really go anywhere on holidays now because of it. I enjoyed seeing Green Lake as that’s a place we always went when I was young. Haven’t been there for a few years now. I always found it was too cold to swim in haha! Be safe on your travels!

    Most of western Canada is affected by the smoke even Saskatchewan. Best to stay at home to not add a burden to others.
