  • 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.

    Worried about a bear in the middle of the night, when you can’t see out. 1 blast of an air horn, sends them running. Camped with lots of bears in the woods the last few years.

    Love every video you make! I’ve watched and even messaged with you in your earlier UA-cam Days! My wife and I Traveled the USA for the last two years full time in our little 22 foot travel trailer. The adventure and memories are worth more than gold to me. I write this from my Wife’s Hospital room who is suffering with Stage 4 Cancer. How very glad I am that we didn’t wait to take our adventure! We have all these great memories to carry us through all the very rough days. I had the most amazing time traveling with my best friend seeing and doing great things almost everyday. Now we look forward of making more memories after my dear wife fights this battle of a lifetime. I’m honored to be by her side to help and do all I can to make her comfortable. Your videos are now our traveling outlook! Be safe and thank you for sharing your awesome travels!

    Here's a tip. The guys on my pipeline do it. They installed starlink flat on their roofs. Always have service even for me to boot off off. I finally have some time out of camp, so I'm heading to the NWT too. I need to disconnect. Thank you for your videos. I have followed you since the beginning, look forward to your videos. ❤

    Might I suggest that you look at flat mounting your Starlink. A number of other nomads have done so, for example fellow Canadians Everlands have a video where they DIY flat mount their Starlink, and also convert it to use 12v instead of 120v. Look for the video called "DIY Starlink Flat Mount RV Roof Adaptor Powered by 12 Volts".

    Chrome, if the black flies are as bad as they look and as bad as you say they are, the "Moosey's" will stay back in the bush as much as possible, and then hit the swamps, and watersheds later in the day and into the evening. ( at least that's how they do it in moose country in Alberta and up north in Ontario... so I'm figuring Yukon moose will be the same...lol)
