    Awesome video as always sir!!! I have the Jackery 500 and it has been a lifesaver...from boondocking at Walmart...and other places to recently I was at the wedding of a friend's daughter...it was an outside wedding by the ocean and they couldn't get reliable power for the music they needed to play for the wedding...my Jackery 500 was in my van fully powered and I told them I could help...they plugged the complete sound system into my Jackery and it did exactly what they needed for the wedding. I heard about Jackery through your youtube channel...thank you sir. Time for a beer...oh wait...time for number 3 beer. Cheers and peace.

    Chrome, have you ever thought about getting Cruz a doggy life jacket? I think that would give you increased peace of mind while around bodies of water. Cruz might even enjoy swimming/floating in deeper water.
    Love the videos.

      🔴I live in San Diego. ☀️🌴 *My neighbors think I am some sort of Climate Change saint because I line dry* all of my family's clothes, and have done so for the past 20 years. The fact is, the dryer is the biggest energy hog in your house, which, in California, adds up fast in your bill! My friends and neighbors tell me they could NEVER do this. Too much work, they say. I tell them, that makes no sense! We live in the flipping desert! ☀️The first clothes I hang are often dry by the time I hang all of the laundry! *Everyone wants to save the earth, but no one wants to do their part!* Not to mention, your clothes look new for so much longer!

I've been a bit derailed with my van search,(I'll spare you the details LOL) but because of you I know it is a dream that WILL come true!!! Til that day arrives, I'm planning and saving and enjoying the process. Gonna KISS, keep it simple sweetheart. Probably the most expensive will be the van and of course a JACKERY. (most everything else will come out of my house) Have fun,stay healthy. KIss Cruz for me. xxoo Cathy M./PA

    Love my Jackery. Took a road trip from california to Minnesota during summer last year with my two pups. Plugged usb fan and hooked fan to car vent with a/c on low and kept my small car nice and cool. Was worried about my car overheating and keeping my pups comfortable. Jackery lasted the whole trip without charging and I have small version.

    My first trip through the British Columbia.. travelling to Alaska, my car broke down in Toad River. The closest garage was in Muncho Lake, which also had a small motel. I had to stay there for a week because in order to get the part for my car it had to "bussed" in.. Great guys at the Double G Service in Muncho Lake. You are making me very homesick and I am looking forward to my trip back to Alaska.

    🔴For the shirts you love, especially flannel shirts, LINE DRY and *don't use the dryer* machine. *The dryer kills flannel and many other fabrics.* (Notice how much of your flannel shirt ends up in the dryer's lint tray?! Ugh!) In fact, to keep your clothes looking and feeling new for longer, (which also saves money!), *use a little fabric softner in the wash load* and then *line dry all shirts* or other clothes *you want to stay nice!* In your case, put them on a hanger, and hang them out of the way til dry! Use a lint brush to remove any lint. *The very best way to treat your clothes!* Your shirts will thank you! 😉

I’ve been to Rupert where we exited from Juneau via the Alaska Marine Hwy. I was one of four driver guides that drove the original 4 motor coach’s that Chuck West used to start Westours with in Alaska and he wanted them back in Seattle. All standard engines. Amazing trip. Frasier Canyon was an incredible memory. Thanks Chrome. Absolutely loving this vlog. 👍🏻
