Hey everyone I just wanted to say thank you for being here with us. None of this would be the same without all of you. Feeling very thankful this morning. THANK YOU
Have looked forward to your videos for years, but lately they’ve been awe-inspiring! Wish I could leave the U.S. Question though; Aren’t you concerned about wildlife creeping up on you while you and Cruze are napping outside?
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.
Take the drive to Pr. Rupert. It is one of the most spectacular drives in BC. Waterfalls from great heights right down to the roadside. Beautiful river on one side and the mountains on the other.
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!
Dear Friend, Chrome I know I've said this before but your video's are the BEST, Quality with professionalism. They are a joy to watch. I enjoy each one. 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.
.....Living here in Thailand for many a year...it's been so cool to watch what your doing back in YVR and other prov's. I miss camping so much it's almost painful ....the change of seasons.....we use a blow dryer here for our bar b cues too....ha ha....
The British Columbia tourism department owes you a debt of gratitude I think. Your positive laid back style are are perfect match for the beautiful scenery and those quirky towns along the way. In a way you remind me of Huell Howser...except he didn't have a canine companion.
Go to Stewart..!! Then scoot over to Hyder. Go to the bar and get "Hyderized".... it's a great tradition and the bar is incredible inside... don't miss it... FYI
🔴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! 😉
Jade City sounds wonderful. That would’ve been gorgeous to see. What about maybe taking snapshots of really cool things and places, editing and doing a voiceover like some other videos you’ve done? Doesn’t always have to be a video but I’m already living vicariously through you...don’t hold out on me (and your fellow you tubers) now lol I hope you stay safe and thoroughly enjoy your upcoming adventures. Hugs to you and that adorable ball of fluffiness. Cruz is so stinkin cute!! 💕
Much love can't wait to hit BC one day... I'm working on my conversion. I joined you Patroen because you inspire me so much... I gotta learn the Adobe premiere Pro so my videos can be better
Hey Chrome, just a recommendation would update your head lights and rear to LED to go with your sick wheels😎😎, thanks for sharing Canada to the world, love it
Loved seeing thst fox. Odd he ran alongside your van. Thought he'd take one look at you and dive into the brush. OMG, Cruz sleeping on the seat with his butt in the air. Also loved the shots of him with the ball in the water. Great tip about waiting out the bugs. Another home run with this video, Chrome. 😁💞🐶😽😻💞
Cassiar highway man, I’m so jealous! I’ve wanted to go on that road forever but never got the chance - yet. ☺️ Nice campground on the lake. 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. 👍🏻
A favourite book to read to my preschool classes was Elusive Moose: author Joan Gannij, illustrator Clare Beaton. It is one of the few books I kept once I retired.
Yes definitely keep some things for yourself if you feel called to. I think of these videos as you sharing things with us, not doing it for us. So you do you! 👻
My husband and I are current streaming all your videos sonwe can see your progress from the beginning. You sir are an inspiration. Once our kids are grown (currently 2 in highschool and one about to go into university) this is our intention. We have purchased a van to convert and are going to use to as a travel Van for now. We LOVE travelling in BC. Being from Saskatchewan where you can watch your dog run for miles ... the mountains are a welcome refreshing break. Stay Wierd! Much Love!
My Dad was in the RCAF and worked on the Alaska Telephone lines all the way up through B.C. including Telegraph Creek. Hope you get there and get to see it. Can remember him saying it was a real hole in the wall but a beautiful one...lol
Haha, those prices at "The Store" are for loggers and mine workers $$$$ and nowhere to spend! Those food prices would definitely make my fasting a breeze😀
Yes, you should have filmed Jade city, then stayed and enjoyed it for yourself and post the video after you left. I may be wrong but it seems like you're still hurrying like last year instead of taking your time in places.OMG!!!!! Cruz sleeping with his butt in the air is the cutest!!
Chrome, great video, love Cruz and his antics in the water. Love the shots you get and share with us. Is your van 4x4? Hope so. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken
Definitely go to Stewart,right across the border from Hyder,Alaska...if the border was open you could get "Hyderized"...and if you go to Prince Rupert,you could ferry to Haida Gwai (the Queen Charlotte Islands) or maybe even take the ferry from Rupert down to Port Hardy on Northern Vancouver Island(lol...I know you're past this by the time this vid came out,but it's a way cool trip) and drive south.
Careful with that blower...the end tip might melt from the heat...get a metal pipe extension for when you really want to juice up a fire...another great vid. Cheers🍺🍺🇿🇦🇿🇦
So happy you took the Cassiar highway! It’s so beautiful!! Ahhh, Jade City is awesome and yes take that in for yourself! Did you meet their dog??❤️❤️❤️
getting really fed up with the ridiculously outrageous high cost of throttled down data in southwest Ontario, phone companies are a total rip off,...... did I mention I don't like getting ripped off?
Hey everyone I just wanted to say thank you for being here with us. None of this would be the same without all of you. Feeling very thankful this morning. THANK YOU
Thank you for including us in your life. Weirdos Unite!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us 🙂

Hey Chrome, just curious..what does the 2:35 on your hand mean?

Too hilarious...cruzie sleeping on his face with his rear end up the back of the seat. That road is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing, bud! 😉🇨🇦
Yes, that shot was the cutest!!! :)
Your videos are like my morning coffee. Cant start the day with out em.

Love the videos.
TIP...Don't put the shirt in the dryer after washing. Always air dry and the shirt will always feel like new.
Yes, I living in sticks-n-bricks with a basement for laundry, always hang them up, and my clothes last for a couple decades. ;)

I just bought mine. How do you recharge yours? I’m waiting on the portable solar to see if I even need it!
@@jentommyontheroad8089 I charge mine by plugging it into my cigarette lighter while I'm driving

Moose are your spirit animal!! Kisses to cruisie ❤️
Truly an amazing journey you are on Chrome
Beautiful scenery!
Lots of Bullwinkles. Lol
Enjoy the nature. And thank you for sharing what you see with all of us since we can't be there.
The discovery channel makes a tv show all about jade city and how they mine the jade out of the mountains east of there 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍

I said the same thing...30 yrs ago I got Hyderized and that same year I went to Newfoundland and kissed the cod...2 awesome traditions in 1 year...
That's awesome about the bugs. I'm gonna have to try that tonight. Thanks homie.
Fun fact, Orca whales are the only marine predator to moose. I thought that was kind of a cool fact.
I know it’s tons of work but I look forward to your daily videos! It’s a tiny vacation for me.
Thanks 😊 for the Road Directions &Mapping it helps People who'll go the same Direction some Day....Jade City looking forwards to it...So this il ll

I’m still taking shots and vids when I’m on holidays. Some are private some I share. I’m loving this trip with you.
You'd get a lot of use out of bug nets on your side and rear doors. Thanks for the beautiful views.
Chrome does have bug nets for his side and rear doors
The girl is right - well worth the nail biting trip ...Telegraph Creek 🏕 either route breathtaking B.C. Just another great video thx Crome 👍

How wonderful!!!! Enjoy your peace and quiet. E in North Carolina

You and the moose, a perfect pair. You are becoming quite the lumberjack with your shirt. Blessings to you and cruzziebear.
Yes definitely keep some things for yourself if you feel called to. I think of these videos as you sharing things with us, not doing it for us. So you do you! 👻
Yep I was using a blower to get my fires Cruzing on the island
Nicely done Randy!
Indeed Canada is a beautiful place outdoors!
Love it when Cruz gives you kisses!
Great video, becomeing addicted to vancity vanlife. This pit stop by the water is a jem. Peace be with you.
ROFL!! Cruz kills me the way he sleeps with his butt up in the Air!.... WOW what a spot..... Beautiful!!..... LOL CRUZ.... you killing me!!
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
My husband and I are current streaming all your videos sonwe can see your progress from the beginning. You sir are an inspiration.

Stay Wierd! Much Love!
Great video, wildlife wonderful, stay Canadian.
That van looks clean I love them wheels and tires!!!
That place looks fantastic. I love to see Cruz lay on the seat goofy like he does. LOL 👍
some new headlights on the van would be epic!
Oh to get away from the craziness of the world, where you are that will do it,,,enjoy!!!
have. 2 Jackery. 1000 and. 240. running the fan all nite. nice and cool.
My Dad was in the RCAF and worked on the Alaska Telephone lines all the way up through B.C. including Telegraph Creek. Hope you get there and get to see it. Can remember him saying it was a real hole in the wall but a beautiful one...lol
Super-cool set up; LOVE your rig! WOW to wild Canada! Thank you.
Cruze...what a sweetie. Love your channel dude.
go to Prince Rupert its very nice there, if you like to fish defo a place to go, they got some awesome campgrounds and side roads,
I've never been but always have been drawn to go to haidi gwai.
Nature is here to draw spiritual STRENGTH FROM, not waste. Hope you get my letter and sticker. WATCH FOR IT!
My favorite animal is the wolf and second the beaver. Hahaha
This grandma thinks you are so cute - handsome 😉
....and your smile and laugh and exuberance is catching! And that Cruze....what a boy! Be safe....
Omg please send me a chunk of jade.. it brings you luck..love your show!!!
Love my Ryobi blower too. ☃️💜🧜🏼♀️
Haha, those prices at "The Store" are for loggers and mine workers $$$$ and nowhere to spend! Those food prices would definitely make my fasting a breeze😀
Prince R! Looks like a great ocean!
Haven't seen Dudley do Right yet...🍁 👍
Yes, you should have filmed Jade city, then stayed and enjoyed it for yourself and post the video after you left. I may be wrong but it seems like you're still hurrying like last year instead of taking your time in places.OMG!!!!! Cruz sleeping with his butt in the air is the cutest!!
the coffee carry trays work really well to keep the bugs at bay.....light the corner and let it smolder away....groovy vibes
Arkansas here. You can take an old t-shirt and tear it into strips and let it smolder also
That flag looks sweet on the front of the van. 😄
I love your channel too
I watch you too, Dawn! Maybe you’ll head up to BC when the border opens!
The Dawn of Vanlife nice to see you here...my other favorite van life UA-camr.💕
Cruz is so big now. 😂❤️
Go west young man! Terrace/Rupert, The Nas valley is beautiful, lavabeds etc. Make a right at Cranberry Junction
Cruz sleeping with his butt up in the air 😲😂😂
MUST SEE HYDER, AK. Unreal!!
Little fact... Moose can dive up to 6 meters and hild their breath for a minute. And in some areas have even been hunted and killed by orcas.
Ha ha ha. I'm actually watching this video with my phone plugged into my Jackery 240. I'd be lost without it.
The bugs are attracted to the heat and carbon dioxide of the vehicle.☺ I usually park and go for a walk until the subside
Love to see the Jade City ❤️🤗
Those blowers are a school bus drivers best friend!
Chrome, great video, love Cruz and his antics in the water. Love the shots you get and share with us. Is your van 4x4? Hope so. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken

get a Thermacell at walmart they work perfect for keeping bugs at a radius
Citrus smell will help with bugs. Orange lemon even grapefruit. Listerine works too. FYI
Mosquitoes follow the exhaust of the engine , carbon oxide . So letting your van run draws them in
New subscriber here great content no bs you are very positive love cruz he is adorable
Careful with that blower...the end tip might melt from the heat...get a metal pipe extension for when you really want to juice up a fire...another great vid. Cheers🍺🍺🇿🇦🇿🇦
So happy you took the Cassiar highway! It’s so beautiful!! Ahhh, Jade City is awesome and yes take that in for yourself! Did you meet their dog??❤️❤️❤️
getting really fed up with the ridiculously outrageous high cost of throttled down data in southwest Ontario, phone companies are a total rip off,...... did I mention I don't like getting ripped off?
Why did the fox cross the road??
To chomp down a Rabbit" 😆😆🤙🌊🌊🌲🌲🌲🌲
Awesome video. I’m going to try that bug trick in Montana next month
I love the way Cruz sleeps with his wuttle tushy stuck up in the air. And Chrome... too Canadian? Can you actually be toooo Canadian?
Love to watch your videos. Keep up the awesome work
Fellow Canadian Steve Wallis would say you need a Thermacell!
Love you man! Can’t wait to see your next video. Where was that campsite where u used the blower on fire?
Wow thanks for the info about bugs...they love me 😉
Live like a pilgrim not a tourist... find joy in the journey.
Jade Fever is a series about the family that mines the Jade for Jade City.
Beautiful place
Can’t wait for my Weirdos tee! 😀
Hey Chrome, are you missing a valve stem cap? Couldn't tell on the quick pass of the camera but it looks like it. FYI !
