I Couldn't Do This Without Van Life. The Ultimate Ending To a Long Day

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.

I've been here since the beginning and I don't think you need 2 channels, we watch because we enjoy your everyday life, and Vantoys is your everyday life. You inspire us, but you don't need to over complete things. Remember KISS (keep it simple stupid)😂

Chrome, I never comment, but this video brought to mind a Christmas Video you did 3 years ago. You were in the bush, had a beautiful fire burning and for the most part it was just soothing music and the fire. That year, that Christmas Day, that video gave me peace and harmony on what was a very sad day for me. I have never forgotten it. Thank you for producing that video in that way.❤

The comment about the traffic. Oh my, retired now, get my cup of coffee in the morning and watch the madness of traffic & weather, I dealt with for over 30 years. I can understand the peace of leaving it all behind.

Chrome, you may be slowing down, but you are still more energetic than I have ever been! Wow, I wish you could bottle that energy and share it.

[RebeccaTreeseed]

I turned 70 this year and a had a drop in energy. Dang. My brain is still on, knees are not.

Hi Chrome just a suggestion, when you’re relaxing outdoors how about a comfy bed or blanket for Cruze 😊 especially in this cold weather 😊

The next time you setup the hot tub, do yourself a favour, place a tarp on the ground first. Then set the hot tub on the tarp and fill it. When you empty the water when your done, it will keep it cleaner by not getting the ground wet as you pack up the tub

Your body is just trying to remind you that you're not 20 anymore. Welcome to the 50s I was there 20 yrs ago😅 hang in there, the best is yet to come 😁

Chrome, your camera angels around the fire is very soothing to watch. What a clever cinematographer you have become. Its like I right there with
You. Thanks for sharing the awesome adventures you undertake. Thanks a bunch.

Thats the thing with that hot tub. It works if you are staying in one spot in the backcountry for a few days. So you can set it up one morning and it be ready to use by the afternoon.

I like when you just film your day. I started watching your videos cuz I like your vibes and personality and the whole vanlife thing. And i think a lot of your long time viewers will thinks so to. We love seeing your day to day stuff and you having a shop is how your life has now evolved. Its interesting to see. And I like how its not super machnical stuff as I'm not much into that.

Hi Chrome, instead of buying your wood in bundles, buy a couple cords wood and have them at your shop. This way you share your wood and have wood for yourself.

Fire was putting me to sleep, so peaceful.

[Shihtzu]

Just got my hoodie and all the stickers!!! Love it it’s so nice!!! And thanks for all the stickers!!!

[BarleyMonster]

I like the variety of your channel now. The back country vids and the shop vids are equally good!!

[christinefoster]

The peacefulness of the fire popping in the background was relaxing adding the sunset over the mountain just topped it off. Get some rest.

[lorrainemartinez]

We tend to be our own worst enemy always listen to your body it's ok to slow down 😊

[lendvay]

I ABSOLUTELY love your channel!!
I literally wait for every video.
I’m not sure if you’ll get this or not. I’m not the best at social media. Lol. But I wanted to try to get in touch somehow!
I have fallen and have a broken neck. I used to do everything outside. Ebike, camp, kayak, fish, hike, etc. You get it. Until I couldn’t anymore.
I am currently building out an enclosed travel trailer to live in.
Anyway… the point of me contacting you is I really want to order a hoodie! I love your merch.
Could I get you to sign it for me if I do? Please.

[Linda-wtk]

I’m somewhat new to your channel. I keep trying to comment, but my comments keep disappearing. I’m 66, and your videos are the highlight of my day. Thank you for sharing your story.

I got tired just watching this!… all that yawning was contagious. Night night folks!.
