I actually love the mixture of shop and every day van life stuff. Your true followers will appreciate and embrace it all. You put out so much content that it's a great balance and the shop and ambulance are truly just a great addition to the next chapter of the journey, whatever that is to be. That's the beauty of having the freedom.
But this is very expensive to live like this and be able to fix anything that happens to your vehicle when you're on the road and stuff all emergencies and things whether you're in the United States and Canada
@@kelleyrancher He was paying some 2k a mos rent before this (to someone else) plus utilities plus a car note. Much of life expenses are fixed, be it in a house/apartment or van life , you're going to pay it in some form.
I like it too, (as long as it’s not shop every day would be my personal input.) I enjoy watching Chrome who’s life whatever he’s up to.... he’s definitely an interesting and engaging dude!
Agree, it's so interesting for me to see how to work on a van. But also it's nice to follow the van on tour 😀
Man, this video resonated so dear to me...got the van, converted to a simple cozy home on wheels and "fear" keeps me frozen in sticks and bricks. My heart says GO , be courageous and keep the faith all is well...hearing you mention change, courage and choose your "being" and "do what you want with it"!!! Helps my next steps to being fearless and saying "yes"!!! Here I go.
With me I just took trips until eventually I stopped wanting to return to the house anymore. Then I was ready to sell it all and go fulltime. Best wishes
@@summerstardust2064 thank you Summer. I'm following your lead! I am mostly fearing that I will break down and be stranded...I have AAA and for the most part "kin" is sound. Older, but sound. So, it's the whole mental game happening! Thank you for your words of encouragement and support!
Enjoy your journey.
Between Chrome and Bob Wells, I found the courage to leave a million dollar house and a very abusive wife and not just start a new chapter in my life but begin a new book!
Try it out on some weekend getaways close to your Bricks and Sticks and see how you like it...
Just do it! I took the leap a year ago. Now full time nomad like fe in an RV, with a cat.
Nothing wrong with the shop. Your excitement from traveling or building the ambulance is contagious. I love both.
It’s your life…you life in your van and go to the shop like someone who goes to work. You building the ambo is absolute van content.
LOVE LOVE the videos with you and Emi in them together. Melts my heart. Hugs to Crusie!! ❤️🦋❤️
With the crazy world we live in, I'm so grateful for this light heartef content. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Chrome, I'm from the USA, live in Philadelphia and also A black women, not that it matters but you matter to me, when I come home from dialyisis, first thing I say to myself is let me go see what Chrome and Cruz is doing today. Your like one of the family. I love you and appreciate you. You have such a big heart and a inspirations to me and a lot of other people, what works for you may not work for me, I don't even drive. But I love your content, your energy and inspirations. Always do what make you happy and keep following your heart. You really make my day. Look, I ran all the way downstairs just to tell you this. Have an awesome day and see you soon.
💛🚐🌲🍂🍁🌾🌄
THE WEIRD WAY!! 🙌
The Rock is such a stunning place, hands down! So fortunate to live here. Van dwelling = FREEDOM!!!!
Props to you Chrome. It's your life which after all is not scripted... If YOU living your OWN life the way you want to upsets a few people, then maybe they might want to rethink their own... Love all your content and think Cruz is the bomb!! Hello from Australia.
I'm a big fan of the shop and the ambulance, tbh, and I think the evolution and change of the channel have been positive and healthy. Keep doing you!
You do you, Chrome. Personally, I am excited to see you get into the ambulance, so I am onboard for the journey. I have said this before and I will say it again. You were the major influence of me getting into van life and I have no regrets. My hope is to meet you one day in the future. Stay well and rock on!
Keep up with the shop stuff, Chrome. Love watching it and definitely see the potential for what you're building.
Flipping the bird to the haters. They can go fly a kite.
The shop adds to vanlife. I love it. In fact, jealous.. Im here for whatever content you put up. I'm loving your whole journey. Your a Legend. Thankyou :D
I like the variety....van life, travel, cooking , meet friends, pets, beautiful scenery, and projects , especially at the shop...don't be sorry ...it's also exciting!
It’s your life, your channel, you are in control. I like both shop and van content. Keep up the authentic vlogs. “To thine own self be true”
I woke up this morning, in my 2004 Toyota Highlander, feeling like a King! 3 and a half years ago, when I moved into my SUV full time, my family and friends thought I was crazy too! Now, they just look at me as the Free Spirit that I've always been born to be. They now see that I'm just as safe and secure in my SUV as they are in their Bricks and Sticks and just as happy too! They also admire that I now have the Time, Freedom, and Finances to chase the dreams that I spent most of my life talking with them about.
This Weird Lifestyle has allowed me to become who I was always meant to be!
If you've ever considered leaving the Rat Race and moving into your vehicle, I'm strongly encouraging you to do it now...
You'll be just as happy as I am that you did!
I am a disabled single lady with a dog. Vanlife would mean I could drive to a medical appointment, rest after, get my infusions and stay parked in the safe lot overnights, but still travel and enjoy this beautiful pacific northwest haven. I can camp for free in state and national parks too! But there's no way I can fund a van purchase, so I live vicariously through you YTers! ❤️
Great to see the back country with snow, pine trees & mist on the mountains! Chrome actually in trousers & having a dinner date with Emi ❤️🇦🇺🍻
Always be proud and strong in your own world
Normal sucks.. THIS! You can hear the joy in your voice in the back country. And the calm pleasure when you were with Emi. Seeing Cruzie in his dandy coat, and happily snoring on the bed. And folks are worried for you?! You've got it, Chrome. You've got it!
Screw them haters Chrome!! You do you ...that's why we loves ya !!
Hugs Valerie ❤
🍁👵🇨🇦
I am juste getting out of depression And You and youre chanel And Cruse are à positive example to me of what happines is realy TY so mutch love from Québec
Chrome, you do you, and we'll keep enjoying the ride. Your exuberance for all aspects of your life and sharing everything is what keeps us ( me and my hubster), coming back. Keep on keepin' on. Oh yeah, lovin' those cammo pants too!
Shop videos....van life videos....everyday vlogging videos they are all awesome as long as you and cruzie are in it. I really enjoy your content. My wife and I watch your videos together every time you post. Thank you for the positivity and great content 😎👍✌️🐾🤙
Nothing is better than a new pair of cargo pants and a matching flannel first thing in the Fall... I love the B footage heading into the backcountry. When I head out I can literally feel the world and all it's stress just drop when the tires hit the dirt. Pure bliss in the middle of nowhere!!!
You do YOU! That is all that matters. I personally love the mixture and your positive attitude!!!
Always going to be someone doesn't like what you're doing. I for one love your channel, love what you been doing, what you are doin, hopefully what you’re doin tomorrow. You change and stop doing what I like, I change and stop liking what you do, I'll say thank you and walk down a different path.
I'm gettin pretty old and I've learned a bit along the way, but I still haven't figured out why people can't see our paths come together then go different ways.
I mean, if we were all on the same dang path, it'd be awfully crowded, no?
Anyway, thank you for taking us all along on your journey.
Peace.
Very flattering trousers Chrome lol
The mix :

🎯shop 🚑🔧🔩⚙🗜🔨
🎯🐶
makes this channel great💥❗
My family thought the same. We bought our dream house in 2018 by 2021 we'd sold it for full-time RV life. We do not regret that decision at all.
It's your channel! Do it your way! Obviously it's working! I for one like it! Thanx for the videos. 🙂💝
I love the mix and can’t wait to see that ambulance build
You are doing great video content, both in the shop and in your van. You’ll never be able to please everyone so don’t worry about it.
It’s “ your” life , do it “ your “ way! I absolutely love the opening of this video!
I like the shop, it’s a change from travelling. Not losing me. 😂
This is YOUR channel. Nobody else's. You do what makes you feel the best! If people want to judge that then they need to take a look in the mirror because they're telling their own story, not yours.
I don’t know about these other people, but I watch your channel for you! And Cruz! Van life is real life. Ups and downs and pros and cons. Having a sweet home base helps you appreciate the road and vice versa. Can’t wait to watch the build! Hope you have tons of fun ;)
It's enough just to see the mountains on the backtrails ....we love ALL YOUR CONTENT...
I personally like the shop videos. I feel connected to the shop and your ambulance through watching the videos. It was going to be great to see it on the road
It always shocks me that people are so mean. They choose to do this on social media but I bet if they met you in person they wouldn't dare say some the things that they think they have the right to say. I learned many years ago that others opinions don't matter to me if I'm not doing what they think I should be doing.
I figure if they don’t pay my bills, they don’t get a say in my life.
I love the fact that you got the shop when you’re out traveling when you’re in the shop doesn’t matter I’m watching regardless
Amen Brother!!
Chrome! I ABSOLUTELY LUV THE SHOP!!! Ifeel like you've made it not just yours but all of ours!!! License plates from all of us on the walls!! It's the BEST!!
I have watched you since you left your apt. !!!! You don't owe anybody ANY explanation!! Do you !! I love watching your video's!!! Keep up the awesome that you are !!!
You DO YOU and be HAPPY!!!
I like your ambo videos. It’s all van life. You are rebuilding an ambulance for van life for somebody, maybe you!
Just do you! The shop ROCKS, good to have a spot to hang out and do stuff to the rigs. Makes sense to me my friend 😎🍻💙
Dude, what ever gets you jazzed, that is what I am here for. I look forward to your van life segments and your build segments. Change as you see fit, I am here for it.
Might just as well keep it REAL, Chrome! To heck with the negatives! Stay doing what make YOU & CRUZIE happy. We're along for the ride. 🤪
I like the your shop. Looking forward to the ambo build.
I love your shop time! I enjoy you, Chrome….period! Screw the haters
OMG...I spent years mobile . A shop meets all requirements needed to give life in a mechanical home life. And a little needed warmth and simplicity . I say van life with a shop actually Shows you down to detail, what Real van life is all about.
Great Chrome. Eloquently said in my opinion. Love what you're doing. You and Emmy both
I am 60 I do not live in a van but I am not your usual 60 year old. I have never gone with the flow, I like waves. I do me and do not ever listen to others. Never have and never will. Go make you happy, no one else. That is what matters most. Scary hell yes, worth it even bigger HELL YEAH!! LOVE YOU CHROME AND YOUR CRUZ. STAY SAFE AND WARM!!
DUDE! You can show as much shop content to me as you like! Love that you keep changing it up!
Yes! Listen to your ❤
I've been van dwelling for 2 years. And my van stopped. I'm heartbroken, I can't travel. I was planning to go West for the winter. Now I'm stuck in the winter of the Midwest. I'll be back on the road no matter what. I just gotta be patient. I really like seeing you work on the Ambulance. I can't wait to see it evolve. People don't understand, what you're doing is part of Vanlife.
You keep it up, people ALWAYS gonna talk. I love your content van life/ shop. You've helped a lot on my journey.
Hey Chrome - you explained things in a very clear way but if people are your true fans (read Super Fans by Pat Flynn) then they don’t care about that stuff and just are happy to see how your life is going. So I say you do you and heck if you want to live in a tiny house on some land go for it lol but if you want a mix of van life and shop fun projects, then go for that. Your authenticity is what matters to most of us! 😊
Well Chrome You mean alot to us too!!!!We love you Bro!!!!
Love your videos, love your attitude.
I have followed you for a few years and have love the travel videos. I have to say now I only watch your camping videos not the van build. I wish you all the best on your ambulance build.
Chrome this is another inspirational video. I'm about to quit my job and move into my ambulance partly because of your words of wisdom.
Congratulations! I hope for you the very best. Happy trails!
Thank you......, for sharing. "LOVE"........❤, Your Utube Channel. *YOUR* "Honesty" and Information about "VAN" Life. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 "HUGS" AND "KISSES"😙 TO Cruz.🐾🐶🐾 Texas/USA🇺🇸
Well Chrome you do you Brother , my wife and i love to watch yall !!!!
I think it's simply a matter of having the van for occasional travels and the shop as your primary residence. Definitely create a man cave and patio.. that will give you more material for your channel and make your place more comfy. I look forward to seeing the transition!
the shop is definitely not his primary residence. Just his shop :)
I enjoy the shop time. Don't change a Thing. I have been following you sents the 2 episode. THANK for ALL the GREAT content you put out every week. You are a total Rock Star BRO. Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome chrome nice speech to the heart / can’t wait see the ambulance completed/ see you down the road !
Such beautiful country. You are blessed.
I enjoy the mix of travel/shop videos. You tell interesting stories no matter the location.
I love the shop, its a great base to build, film and broadcast from as well as bombing through the back country
What's up weirdos!
Awesome!!! Live Your Best Life!!!👠🚌👠
There is little Cruzy❤ I can’t hardly wait until you get your Ambulance finished and move into it.
I like the shop just like I like those I follow that have bought land and are making a homestead of it. I like the diversity. You GO CHROME!!!
Bon Hivet !!!
Love the shop content! Love ALL the content! Keep doing what you’re doing Chrome! You’re always keeping it real no matter what content you’re creating for us! Thank you!
Ole' Weirdos Army mbr, CHROME‼️
WE LOVIN THE MIX 🔥✌🏾
Keep making ur content 👍🏾 🚐 🇺🇸
Cruz looks adorable in his coat
Thank you chrome for taking us with you and Cruz. I get to see you living your amazing life and doing exactly what you love doing. I get to see your beautiful country and love the mountains and the rivers. Thank you brother.
I'm going to be honest.. the shop videos are my least favorite but only because that stuff doesn't interest me as much as the incredible scenery of the travels but when I do watch them and I do it's your positivity and excitement that makes it all worth while. Keep on being you that's what keeps us here
Nice to have a shop always got a spot to break the routine and fix stuff
I’ve been here since day 1 , thank you showing us the van life 🙏🙌
Thank you Chrome. This was exactly what I needed to hear. 🙏🏻
Love you whoever you become✌️🥰👍
Vancouver island is spectacular. I’d love to see it someday.
I missed your back-country videos. Sooo beautiful out there!!
Hey , you still live full time in the van & the van build content is awsome
You haven't changed the platform just added
I watch another channel he started in a Vanagon then went to a sprinter , it was tough but I gave it my best and still watch his videos . The allure of his channel was the Vanagon cost him a lot of viewers at first
The lure of your channel is Chrome & Cruise living in there van
Just my thoughts
I'm so happy for you Chrome
With you all the way Chrome & Cruzie!
I just started watching you so now I understand how the shop fits in. As long as Cruzie gets at least 50% of the spotlight, I love it! I volunteer with a Bulldog rescue, so he is the star. Sorry lol 😆
I'm beginning van life full time in March 2023, come hell or high water! Already had one obstacle get in my way. Once I sell my place, I'm going on the road! Thanks for all the inspiration Chrome! Can't wait to live my dream too!
Im in SW Ont and we got our 1 st snow today. I like all your videos, going to see different place, hiking, camping, vans and your beautiful GF. 😊
Hey Chrome!! I tune in to your channel every new video posts to view you. Your personality rocks!!! Keep up what you’re doing, you’re stories entertain weather your in the shop or out on the road!!
We want your garage life!... Great to watch you do you!
I enjoy every bit of your journey and it took me most of last year to go from the very beginning of your videos to at the time current events but I enjoy every thing you do
I Enjoy The Shop. & Seeing You Rebuild The Ambo. Keep Doing You Buddy...
I'll be moving into a van full time in a few months. My family thinks I'm crazy. I told them if they hadn't figured that out in the last 69 years, I feel really sorry for them. I want to live before I die. Adventure before dementia. 😊
Hey Now 👍
Chrome there's nothing wrong with anything you video about shop back country store food and most a a beer 🍺 I've watching you videos for very long time and everything you video it's very interesting.
