You know Chrome as you get older it’s nice to have a community that your known and belong to. As you get older you need friends around to sometimes just be there for you bro. 😮
Watching you adore your Cruzie boy, is just priceless! ❤ Yep.. time for a 🔥 n burnt marshmallows! 😋 Loved those moose treats for Cruzie from Polly on your last video! 🫎 anything is cool! 🫎 ✌️✌️
Love these days in the life with Crome vids!! I was in Franz Josef New Zealand the other day and on a little road sign there was a vancity vanlife sticker I was like heck yeah 😅
Due to family matters I had to cut my budget for a van or build, but I bought a 95 Jeep Wrangler to do my adventures locally in! Glad to see you Bro🏞️🚌😎🐕 Love everything that's going on 🎉
I think we get to a point in life even if we like the "nomad" lifestyle we wanna have some type of home base. So i think its cool what you are doing. A mix of both. And you can just pop in your van and leave and explore somewhere at a drop of a hat's notice.
@@TheGLOSSette 100%. I wanted to do the nomad life, but realised I like my homebase and going away adhoc is more me for now camping or car camping. I think a small base is definitely needed to have the best of both worlds. 🇬🇧
I've been on the road 10 years and am recently missing a home base, some place just to stay for awhile and feel more comfortable. Like having indoor plumbing lol.
Your doing a great job with your shop and life in general, but that shop has got to a fortune to get going, but it has got to be increasing your bottom line personally but ya never mention that, thank goodness there's business tax breaks, hopefully you have that in Canada
For work outs everyday is a mistake. It's 1 day work out 1 day rest. You work upper body 1 day lower body the next work out and rotate through mid body day ect. You start with 15 minutes of cardio then heavy or light weights depending if you want endurance or bulk. Light is endurance you do less weight more reps heavy is bulk big muscle you do half the reps. It's 10 or 5 reps per muscle group then move on. At the end you do 10 minutes of cardio to cool down and slow your heart rate back down. I trained with an Olympic weight lifter and he does it that way
10,000 steps very very very low carbs with moderate exercise,of which you get by your daily activity,results in 4-5 weeks. No cereal,bread,donuts,cake etc etc…..you will be amazed…..lose the carbs
Looking forward to seeing you working with Amanda on her Ambo and we who watch you every video you drop are subscribed for the duration ,we are here for the journey of your life!
18:30 There are 3 conductor wires plus a common ground on those light strips. One for each spectrum, R G B red/green/blue. If one conductor fails you get a sudden change of color from the failure point on down. Open that back cabinet and check for pinched, frayed, or cuts along the light strip. The point where the purple shows up should be where the break is. If your handy with a soldering iron you can fix it.
Hi 👋🏽 great to see you busy in your Shop, you couldn’t choose a better employer then Amanda, she is amazing. The birds you saw are probably starlings gathering to leave.
Glad to hear that you have made a challenge to improve the quality of your life. Not that I think you needed to, but I understand all of us go through that. And every journey starts with a single step. And if you’re like me, you started many journeys with many steps, but I have to tell you I’m on the other side and it was all worth the effort.
most likely, there is a break ( crack) in the flexible circuit tape (of your LED strip lights) thus preventing the correct voltage from reaching the remaining LEDs (where the LEDs change color). Where the LED flexible circuit bends around a corner is most likely where the crack or break is. This same thing happened in my van too. I bent the flexible circuit tape way beyond how it was intended to be installed.... and over time, the LEDs start out a pretty blue color, but then change to white right after the sharp bend. If you can reach the damaged section, you might be able to solder the connection. Or it may be quicker and easier to replace the LED strip all together. I really enjoy your videos!
Chrome and Cruzie, Love all your videos. Chrome you have come a long way and it is awesome. I'm so happy for you living your Dream❤ I have been watching you for about 5 years and it is awesome to see your success!!❤
Interesting your take on the over stimulation while travelling. I just return from a vacation and am facing the same thing. I just want to hibernate in my own place. Glad you put a name on it for me
I always say I'm envious of your lifestyle and if my husband would just be more adventurous we'd be on the road. I guess I'm lucky enough to have a camper and get to go camping now and then just wish it was everyday 😎🤟🤟 Smooches for Cruzie 💋 🐾 🦴
hair cuts down here in the us run between 30 and 50 bucks depending on where you go and how much of a tip you leave as well , i usually cut my own as well chrome
Theres a beach area down in Victoria that one of my friends took me to it looked just like that one. It was amazing I could have stayed there all day! In fact Soozy and I met Bruce Jr down there and had such a nice visit❤👍🏻✌🏼✌🏼
The reality is, life isn’t always exciting. There are times in our journey when doing nothing is exactly what we need and should do. It’s not possible or realistic, at least IMO, to expect that every single day of our lives will be filled with adventure, new experiences and dopamine rushes, and that’s ok. It’s also ok, in fact expected that everything we do has a “life span”. It may be that we do “something” for a period of time, but as life changes, we change and our circumstances change so we adjust, adopt and try new things. That may be a healthier lifestyle, new ways to adventure or a new way of living. Follow you heart and let your passion guide you.
Nice to see you back. I can't hear a squeak but then again I'm trying to listen for my sons car alarm, he knows the battery is OK he says its the other thing which I can't remember the name of lol. Anyway he has to buy a new one ❤❤ xx
@Makeitbymandy Son has only got a cheap machine to test the battery and alternator, so he's taking his car to a place that does free testing. Hes just making sure also that his device is working properly. He's hoping it's the battery it's cheaper lol. He doesn't get paid while Friday.
@@Yvonneb_ i knew mine was the problem without testing because of the horrible noise it made 🤣 plus it got way too hot. They can be pricey to replace for sure! Best of luck to your son!!
Been watching you since the day you moved into the van, got my own van, got some travel under my belt. Do you have any advice on how to make my channel grow? I currently have about 330 subscribers, and no sponsors, no test equipment either.....so how do i make my channel grow?
I got one of those packages!! I love how you package your shirts...people are loving my Weirdos Unite shirt....my professor even subbed to your channel. Love my shirt...love my stickers! oooooh Alfred Hitchcock "The Birds".....hey cutie Cruzie 🥰😘
It's so cool that we can give Amanda a job to support her own family and what a wonderful job she does
Dear Chrome - If you do what you love and try not to label yourself - just cruise with Cruzy and let us tag along.
Thanks for running the camera. I love these vids personally.
me too :)
congrats on the merch success chrome
You know Chrome as you get older it’s nice to have a community that your known and belong to. As you get older you need friends around to sometimes just be there for you bro. 😮
Hey Chrome, I saw something about the Max Air that high humidity will cause them to close and turn off. Just FYI ❤️
Watching you adore your Cruzie boy, is just priceless! ❤
Yep.. time for a 🔥 n burnt marshmallows! 😋
Loved those moose treats for Cruzie from Polly on your last video!
🫎 anything is cool! 🫎

There is no normal vanlife. To each their own.

Its the best of both worlds to have a home to go home too and a van to get away in.
Nice video! Now take a break. Cruzies game 👍

Adding a dumbwaiter would help in getting product down from upstairs.
I mentioned that.he can pallets up and down for his shirt business and get "the bear" up in his wheelchair
I thought a slide down for Cruzie and merch. 😅
There’s a forklift inside
I like watching when you just doing the normal everyday living. It helps to see the real life of van life.
I can remember that feeling when i pitched a tent in the back yard and stayed out there till i was ready to go back in and do more... it was great!

You’re right! My son is a personal trainer and he says only work out 3 times a week.
Chrome was a personal trainer back in the day. I'm sure he's got a good routine going.
No matter what videos you put on the channel , I will watch him. I love you and Cruz, Die heart fan here.
Forget the gym! Just eat sensibly, with intermittent fasting, and an hour and half walk EVERY day. In one month you won't recognize yourself.
10,000 steps very very very low carbs with moderate exercise,of which you get by your daily activity,results in 4-5 weeks.
No cereal,bread,donuts,cake etc etc…..you will be amazed…..lose the carbs
He's already got the gym membership, so he may as well use it fully 🤷🏾♀️
I’m starting my van life next summer ❤️ can’t wait
This vid has early VCVL vibes. I like t!
I think your one of the most sensible people who does what he can and does it with greatfulness.
Please thake us to watch all of those beautiful sunsets!! It was so cute seeing Cruzie perched on the rocks! I love videos like this one!!
Waking up in the Van......This is what a Nomads life is truly like........Love you guys, keep on rolling......❤🌎
We love having you here in the Parksville area Chrome!
Me too. I just wish I didn’t have to drive so far to get to work. 😂
😂 Chrome clean eating, cookies, beer cheese 😮
We support YOU! Go Chrome....
I enjoy the serenity of a campfire
About time you broke down and got your dog a chair 😂 we all knew Cruzy would love it.
i highly recommend the Weld Tech steering stabilizer! my van drives like a new truck.👍
I sell those too. On the vantoys.com website soon.
The shop is looking badass my friend!!!
Roll your clothes!! It makes them fit in small spaces easier.
Take Care Chrome!
I bet my order is in that dropoff
Glad to see all the support for you!
Think Cruzie needs a wider bowl,cant get jaw action in That one
It feels like you have a hell of a lot on your plate at the mo Ute, be careful that you don't burn out. ❤❤
What's up weirdos love Love your videos keep them coming ok
I love to see Cruzie so well taken care of!

Vacations can be exhausting but yours is always a working vacation too. 💙🇨🇦
I have two shadows, their names are Stella and Rockie. It is pretty cool that they like to hang out!
Playing catch up with your videos. I always tell people they need a vacation from their vacation, very normal feeling.
Ty for the everyday uploads!
❣️ Y’all are adorable 😊
Hi 👋🏽 great to see you busy in your Shop, you couldn’t choose a better employer then Amanda, she is amazing. The birds you saw are probably starlings gathering to leave.
Great job, homie! Glad you've made it back to base safely!
clean eat after polly food box done

Hey, Chrome and Cruze! Hello from Oregon!
I love the music you end your videos with!
I like that your living your best life
Anytime you're gone from a routine usually takes a week to get back into the old swing of things. Or find a new swing to ride. Lol
Absolutely right
dang it Chrome, your dog is super cute.
Bird city … ❤
Instead of "stealth" camping I like to call it "low profile" camping. People might know I'm there, but I keep it unobtrusive and low profile.
Love seeing the shop progress....

Rest up. We ❤ you. Just attach the camera to Cruise and let him go. 😂😂😂😂

Polly’s cookies though. Yes please. ❤

Snow birds! They heading my way !!!!. Though I think Arizona is just a stop.
Theres a beach area down in Victoria that one of my friends took me to it looked just like that one. It was amazing I could have stayed there all day! In fact Soozy and I met Bruce Jr down there and had such a nice visit❤👍🏻✌🏼✌🏼
My son spends $50 a week for his haircuts.
You look happiest when you & Cruz are near home base.
old Disco.
Would approve 🎉
One of those shirts is mine! 😂

Awesome video thanks for sharing ❤❤❤Chrome❤❤❤
Hey Chrome
I enjoy watching all your videos but I enjoy you at the shop the most, it seems as though you exert a different energy when you are at the shop.
Maybe start a van toys channel !! Every UA-camr has a second channel!!!
Can you do a video on your gym routine, especially for beginners wanting to make a change?
I wish I was there to help you sort and organizing everything. Save your back use mine.
It is nice thier ✌️✌️👊
Great video… on your lights in your van i bet there is a brake in the light strip not letting it change color past that corner
Nice to see you back. I can't hear a squeak but then again I'm trying to listen for my sons car alarm, he knows the battery is OK he says its the other thing which I can't remember the name of lol. Anyway he has to buy a new one ❤❤ xx
Alternator?
@@Makeitbymandy That's the one. Thankyou
@@Yvonneb_i had to replace mine a few years ago. Glad I could help!!

What's up, Weirdos!
Double ✌️✌️'s up Baby🎉🎉
When ever Chrome looks back,he just see me 🐒
Hello Chrome 🎉💪
I feel that way about Ventura, CA. Home...
Hey whats up weirdooo 🤟🏻🫡
Maaaan.... I wish I were there by the beach instead of here in Ontario. Some day
I watch your videos almost everyday but unfortunately I don't take your advices. I need to start listening.
The green leds are getting a different voltage meaning parts are going bad
That is Nanaimo . That is where I live . I believe I have actually seen you puttering about in Nanaimo . VanCity Vanlife
Normal life sucks.....
Normal Vanlife kinda sucks also......
Not knowing what life has in store for you today...BRING IT ON!!!
Hi from Fresno California ✌🏾
Been watching you since the day you moved into the van, got my own van, got some travel under my belt. Do you have any advice on how to make my channel grow? I currently have about 330 subscribers, and no sponsors, no test equipment either.....so how do i make my channel grow?
your light strip likely has a broken connection in one of the 4 terminals that link it together. had same issue on my wheels. same kind of strip.
Use 100% cotton shirts for welding, they don't catch fire as easily as polyester!
Your LED chain does not have the right tension as there is a break in the chain, therefore it changes color 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Possibly starlings and with them you get a whole lot of mess .
sounds like little buddy is happy, one of my cats is similar, lots of saliva!
I got one of those packages!! I love how you package your shirts...people are loving my Weirdos Unite shirt....my professor even subbed to your channel. Love my shirt...love my stickers! oooooh Alfred Hitchcock "The Birds".....hey cutie Cruzie 🥰😘
Awesome! Thank you!
You might have an LED strip that has become defective. Purple street lights are ones that have become defective over time.
I have a feeling my shirt and stickers were in there
B for buddy ❤
Cool video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
the lights are different because the extension is not plugged in correctly.. only some pins are making connection
The gift box and cookies don’t help bro and if your like me I’ll make an excuse to eat it all lol
❤❤❤❤
