@@VANCITYVANLIFE does not really matter back country or back county. Same thing . I know what you meant Enjoy chrome and be safe with Cruiz Woohoo jay did a great job I saw the video . Enjoy and stay warm
Speaking of other countries, made me curious of what the laws are over here in Ikea land. So I googled it, the results seem focused on dog poop (it's ok to toss that in the garbage if you use a disposable garbage bag for that). Maybe you could get away with taking a dump in those dog bags and just claiming you have a really big dog.
My moms in failing health, and I refuse to have her in a disgusting nursing home, so I take care of her. Assuming I outlive her, you and others have inspired me to live a nomadic van life. I’ve been a live in my car nomad for a few years, so I know I love the lifestyle and can easily live minimally and frugally. Thank you for your wonderful inspiring and calming and relaxing and informative videos dude 🤙🤙🤙
I did the same. The last years with my Mom was a Blessing to me! I miss her so. I live in a camper now until retirement, then I'm a Nomad and headed south. 😊❣️ You are a Blessing to your Mom!
Awesome job on the music to set the mood! I was ready to cry when I saw your final camp sight and set up. One year 2 months and 23 days till I retire and___ "Go on the road!" Not that I am counting....
I can totally dig your need to get away. My second-favorite T-shirt I own says, “My alone time is for everyone’s safety!” 😂 My #1 says, “Sorry I’m late, my alarm didn’t go off, because I didn’t set it, because I don’t want to be here!” 😂😅😂
Thank youChrome for answering some of the questions. I have been thinking about too. I love it when you go out in the woods & show us how you camp & spend your time away from the workshop. Elaine from Queensland, Australia.
Sometimes a little alone time can be very therapeutic. Thanks for the Q and A. You do a great job with your videos. Your drone footage is out of sight. Take care
I adore Cruz!!! He is a smooshy face love muffin for sure! Chrome--I respect the hell out of you and what you are doing with your life. Sometimes I think I want to do this, and then I'm quickly reminded that it's not just me and my dog. Be safe and enjoy your journey--thank you for taking us with you. ☮❤
I'm not much of a motor head so sometimes the build videos don't thrill me ( nonetheless I always seem to enjoy them , something about your attitude. ). But these back road getaway videos they do nothing but warm my very being. THANK YOU
Thank you for a nice calm video. Forrest is beautiful. The music is lovely. Something has happened in my back and taking care of my dogs is difficult. I making it one step at a time. Sleep well❤
Hi chrome. This is gonna sound a bit weird but I was think about you today. The reason being that in my job I had the luck of being able to go to a Tim Hortons over here in the UK. I have after watching you been turned in to them and think they’re better than Starbucks. A bit of a weird thing to say but there you go we think of you at the most unusual times.
For a guy living in your van, you almost have 3 full-time jobs between content creation, editing, and ambulance. And as much as you love Cruz, we all love you both for WHO you are and what you do.
chrome I have been following you since day 3 of your channel leaving your Vancouver condo. I have been offline for the last year exploring all over the west coast in my sprinter. thanks, buddy :o)
“Leave no trace” guidelines has moved from digging “cat hole’s” for disposal of solid waste. They now promote the garbage bag disposal method that Chrome talked about. FYI Great job!
Hey weirdo. I’m heading up the west coast in my van from California into BC. I was born/raised in Canada and have lived in the US for the last 45 years. I am from Ontario so I don’t have a lot of experience on the west coast. Was hoping you could recommend some spots in Vancouver/Vancouver Island. Like you, I love to stay off grid or just find a nice spot in the city to crash and get out early in the morning. Love your vids; thank you for sharing.
Wow. You have come so far with your channel. I found you when you were still getting out of your condo. I just checked your subscribers...boom, you rock!! Take the time to yourself. You deserve it! I am going to start my next van life adventure in May as I meander across the U.S. doing a National Park tour.....can not wait!!! I don't have a real plan but isn't that the best plan?
Hey chrome, that was a fun video I watch all your videos and I love the ambulance. It’s really coming along and looking awesome. You guys are at a beautiful spot you and Cruz always make my day. You guys be safe out there and stay warm 🇺🇸♥️👍🙂🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
He Mr. Chrome, loved your Q'A segment. two thumbs up. Hope you get your lights fixed. Be safe. I just love watching your videos. Look forward to them. Thank you~
I had no idea where they sell those bags until today. I am preparing myself for outages, and when I get to live off grid. Thanks Chrome. Cruzie was absolutely not ready to get up give him a love from me.
I don’t buy those bags at all. They cost too much. I placed a 4 gallon bucket inside my potty and that way I can buy the cheap 4 gallon bags from Walmart to line it. After business is done, I tie it up and place it inside a diaper genie bag, which is a seven layer bag meant to control odors. I don’t have to empty for days.
00:38 We and our caravan chums schedule arriving at camp early afternoon. This allows time for a shower and supper, and walking around the rigs to check for flaws. . We think the worst time to get to camp is... ...Mad-Slasher Midnight.
I really enjoy learning aboug the equipment and how to use it. After seeing this I went and signed up for 1 year access to the music! I am so excited to try editing. I need lessons in how to edit 🤓
I have been told to try to watch some these nature videos without my glasses so that I can get rid of my bifocals. Gotta say it's doing what it's supposed to do. Thanks. Gotta say something about taking a leak, etc.: Kiwanis rules say the same simple rules. Use a bed pan in your tent, if you Gotta go before you can get to an outhouse or an acceptable public location, please don't poop outside, etc. People should be aware of these things, because state to state, they will try to suspend your license before you can even buy a car, especially if you have disability. That's NOT OK. At all.
Ur videos always inspire me to save my 20 grand needed to move out and be a nomad I'm 2 grand in payed off 3 let's goooo!! Thank u for the daily inspiration
Hey Chrome I guess that why I have seen UA-camrs that have an entire team that handles the social media accounts and email. You going to have to expand... Grin. You the CEO now. BOOM !!!
⭐⭐❤🌟 .... There's nothing better than being alone with your dog in your vehicle home in nature ❤ My Dodge Caravan once again goes to the mechanic shop, it's unbelievable and so unreliable ...but I know has an auto dealer who wants to swap me out or the cargo van he has sitting in his lot, to help me out with my Van Life. He's someone I've known and trusted for many years and done business with before. The only thing I will miss is my Caravan can go places the larger cargo van cannot but it's definitely time to have more room and something most certainly more reliable. The cargo van he has, has an issue with the backend differential and he needs to get that taken care of first. I hope I'm making the right decision I've never had a cargo van before. I'm only five foot two I can stand up so much easier in that Cargo, also a big deal 👍👍👍❤✌ I will miss echo my Caravan if I go through with the deal but I will not miss all of its problems. Scared to Embark, however, on yet another type of vehicle I have very little knowledge of. Wish me luck.❤❤❤🌟
You needed to refresh. You were working hard as well. This week has been harder than normal and I had the weekend off ( only get it every other weekend.) I told family, I am playing Saturday so don't expect much. If its not fun its out. 🤣. ❤️ I work eith seniors that where disposable underwear, yep tie of the poop in a bag. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Cruise. I've been watching your channel for about 3 years now. I'm a camper. Love it. How is the size of the Ambulance going to effect where you are able to go in back-country.
Any odd noises in the woods at night? If missing 411 is proof of the woods being a place where mysterious things reside. . . You might at least hear scary noises at the very least.
Having watched countless videos of you in the back country trying to back down mountain roads in less than ideal conditions, I'm just wondering (and maybe you've already answered this question - if so, my apologies) if you've considered getting a backup camera for the van? Seems to be a logical solution when visibility is limited behind you.
I'm thinking of trying my first real back country adventure... What's closest to Victoria? I do have a backroads map. Just not sure what's active with logging trucks and such.
Vanlife tip! Double bag them so you don’t get any in your van or on yourself. Also close the cap on your pee bottle. Talking from experience and not so happy Van times haha 😂
Hey Chrome, is there a way to order your shop shirt? I'm a huge fan and live in Victoria so basically nabours. I was also the guy that offered the resin windows for the ambo. Keep missing you lol.
Hi brother. I love your videos been watching you for years. Quick question. How do you get subscribers? I am stuck . You influenced but I am really and down in the trenches. Could I get some bromance from ya bro
Chrome I can’t imagine what that entire ambulance is going to cost when it’s done including your purchase price. Plus your shop rent and all the things you buy for the van yourself and others. You do know the ambulance is a liability not an asset. You must be loaded especially with Canadian prices
Counties not Countries
I meant to say, Canada, USA, and other countries. Nobody said I was perfect. 💋
@@VANCITYVANLIFE I wish Emi corrected ya. 🤣 That would've been priceless as a "back at ya, Chrome." Enjoy & be safe in the great outdoors! Love it!!!

Alone time is mt highest value all of the time... me and my dog = happy. I love being alone, peaceful. :)
I couldn't agree more!!
Me too! The only time we can think!
Love it when you and Cruz are out by yourself on the back trails. 🙏

Enjoy all your videos! Thanks for the time you take to share with all of us.
Hey Chrome and Cruz...love to Emi and Kelly....I miss the Cool Converse ...but we all have to make changes to grow...thanks for the video...

I understand the need to get away for awhile. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for all the content.
Maybe look for camping spot when it's still light outside.
cruzie and yourself are cool and down to earth
Interesting music you picked for this. I’m thinking it’s a statement of how tranquil you needed things to be this time.
Blessings and safe travel to you & Cruzie 😀

hi Chrome, you can Pan to balance your sound. you could put your eft speaker louder than the other one to have a better sound experience. Cheers!
I gotta say, A Reverse Camera is freaking awesome to have..
You doing a great job Chrome.
Great Vid. Saludos from Texas
I love your Van Life shirt! Your videos are awesome and I love how you car for your sweet boy!
Fun fact if u need to break down poop I use diaper dust ! As seen on shark tank. I use them for dips for my self and it works fantastic !
Appreciate you sharing Chrome catch on the next one enjoy the rest of your day
Pickle Lake....you have to take us there through your video's someday...
He Mr. Chrome, loved your Q'A segment. two thumbs up. Hope you get your lights fixed. Be safe. I just love watching your videos. Look forward to them. Thank you~
I checked Canadian Tire and six bags was $21.99! Very pricey. Good tips Chrome. Thank you 😎🍻🌮
your "we have arrived" music was great!
Chrome & CRUZIE'💕 your VAN is awesome..
A 5gal bucket and plastic bag works great. Lots of nite critters will snack on them.
I had no idea where they sell those bags until today. I am preparing myself for outages, and when I get to live off grid. Thanks Chrome. Cruzie was absolutely not ready to get up give him a love from me.
They sell at Amazon too

Sipping coffee with butter in it, while watching this, yep, tried this Canadian thing and love it.

Being all alone in total darkness like that would scare me to death!
Oh wow this is today! So excited that means I've seen e everything since Cruzues surgery. 20c = 68f. Perfect.
Second to like! Figured you’d be heading off alone soon!
I love how you know the trivia about that’s the same kind of mike used on Michael Jackson’s Thriller album.

If missing 411 is proof of the woods being a place where mysterious things reside. . . You might at least hear scary noises at the very least.
I’ve never heard him mention anything 👻
I feel ya Chrome and I could use some myself! At least you're living the dream!
I love your travel companion.
Why not tag your private sleeping areas in the back country. That way in times like this you can look up one of your tags. 🥂❤️🙏
He's an _EXPLORER_ .
He enjoys going to _Different_ places.
( & he DOES keep a TagList )

I have a back up cam so now it's 3 things to watch..actually 5 as my side mirror has a convex mirror on the bottom.
Chrome someday driving back into the backcountry,at night your going to get a encounter with Sasquatch..
My 42 year ld son made me a shirt folder out of card board box.
Thank you Chrome
Yeah right on chrome hey buddy I’m watching
You have more balls than I do. Lol. Driving down that road in the dark. Crazy.
Yes, you are so right. Chrome got Cruze that improve safety a lot, but I will got that camera with a trigger legal or not.
I'm thinking of trying my first real back country adventure... What's closest to Victoria? I do have a backroads map. Just not sure what's active with logging trucks and such.
Star wars must be allsome with the sound system Jeff with the 62 VW bus u met at Quayle's Brewery meet
Curious. 2 things come to mind. Did you hear a tree fall and do bears poop in the woods?
Bout time for a reverse backup camera
Regarding the poop inquiry, just use cat litter, scoop and dump in an odor controlled bag. Done!
Sound reminds me of riding the school bus.
Hi Chrome. Could be also a solution to throw our poop 💩 in the doggy garbage.
its funny i bought one of those shirt folders after seeing you use one a few videos back
Hey Chrome and Cruzie..
Never did get that Tail Camera
Didn't you consider to do some kind of a pump system for your water jugs?
Are you considering selling the van to jeffie bear..would love to see him back on the road ?? Just an off topic question
Chrome, you rule ! Cruzy does to.
For the ambo build could you or would you put 4 of those speakers into it to have the most epic sound or would that be pushing the limit for sound?
How would you protect yourself against wildlife such as wolves if they come around? Have you ever been scared at a camping spot?
Vanlife tip! Double bag them so you don’t get any in your van or on yourself. Also close the cap on your pee bottle.
Talking from experience and not so happy Van times haha 😂
Also don't sleep drunk next to pee in a Gatorade bottle.....just don't 🤢
We all can benefit from some alone time now and then
Hey Chrome, is there a way to order your shop shirt? I'm a huge fan and live in Victoria so basically nabours. I was also the guy that offered the resin windows for the ambo. Keep missing you lol.

It’s not a “Mavic”. It’s just a DJI Mini 3 Pro or your old one was a DJI Mini 2.
