Chrome. Thanks for shouting out that you have my t-shirts, Crystal from Ft. Myers, on your last video, and making them extra special. I answered Amanda's emails. Looking forward to getting them❤
Chrome I love your excitement when you wake up everyday … it’s contagious ! There are worse reasons to exist than to bomb through the wilderness giving your audience a moment to see and feel the joy of being on an adventure…. Thank you for giving us that !
Been following you for ever, and I don't normally comment. But I'm in south of UK and we can't have the experiences that you have, like wild camping and bears, the wildest thing we see are badgers, or adders that are about as bad as a bee sting. Truly enjoying the fun that you can have in a van, and I've as I've been following since you set up the van in a store car park with a timber frame for the wood bed base and plastic boxes for storage. What a trip you have been on, and thanks for taking me with you. I'm envious, but admire your courage too.
That bear literally waited till the cars passed and one stopped to cross smart little bugger mama definitely taught him that he looks young to awesome!!
I've just recently found you here on TH-cam and can't stop watching your videos. Love them! You take us on an adventure that I know I'll never see, so thank you. Your spirit and outlook on life is infectious. Oh and I so love Crusey (sorry if I misspelled his name). ☺️
It's amazing to see so many bears and to see your concern for your boy so sweet and aware as you have to be out there. I moved numerous times growing up and never recall having AC in any of the houses, it somehow wasn't "a thing" yet but can't imagine now not having it. Always had a box fan too and to this day I love the sound (great white noise) and the feel of cool air wafting over. Even with AC in the house I do this still every night- I get you on that, Chrome!
Another good day 😊 Love when you put up the drone to see where you are. That trailer didn’t look old at all, looked pretty clean. That a-frame by the water, just throw a tarp over it and whala instant shelter. You find the most epic spots 😎☀️
I completely know what you're talking about the creepy feeling vibe. A few years ago, my husband and I were traveling on the southwest side of Vancouver Island. We were on the back roads. But we came to a nice beach area so we decided to have a picnic there. We saw a guy watching us from a bridge with a small telescope. Next thing you know, he was on the beach and yelling at us to get off the beach. He said, "Put your dog in the van." There was evidence of someone living in the bushes behind us. So that was kind of creepy already. I stood up and asked the guy what was wrong. Why was he yelling at us to get off the beach. He said there's a bear coming up the beach. Man, did we scramble. He saved us and possibly saved our dog for sure. But some places there in the backcountry on the island have those creepy vibes, that's for sure.😬
I'm 100% with you on the instinct thing, I can honestly tell you that I'm alive today because of it. I learned from a Young age living in N.Y. city to pay attention tof your surroundings and keep you head on a swivel.
Chrome, I am soooo incredibly happy to see that you are getting back to more wild camping. I think this is truly what makes your channel-your channel. I absolutely love the joy that exudes from you, when you are out in God's paradise.
Always wise advice, as someone has said, ‘if in doubt, don’t.’ You are an ambassador for vanlifers being in the larger community without p***ing people off, getting vans banned, and ruining it for everyone else.
@VanCity Vanlife Hey Chief Weirdo: your purpose isn’t to roam around the bush. Your purpose is to spread joy and positivity - roaming optional. You’re doing an awesome job at it! ✌️✌️🙏😘
My bulldog Poppetje (dutch for dolly) sits on the foottray of my electric wheelchair and barks at everyone that’s getting to close. She’ll go for anything if she thinks she has to protect me. At home she’ll sleep between my legs guarding me until my husband gets in bed, then she’ll go lay all the way on his side and snore so so hard 😮😅
I love the song you played at 13:30 in this video. It went so well with the feeling of being watched in the woods when you were driving around and exploring. Kind of creepy!
In the UK air con in houses isn’t that common so whenever it’s hot we just open the window (which doesn’t have anything to stop insects from getting in) and use plug in fans.
Your instinct and decision-making in choosing not to sleep in a particular spot showcases your adventurous spirit and wisdom! Finding that epic camp spot reflects your keen sense of exploration and adventure. And I am floating village life.
Follow your instinct works for which road to take as well. On the way to "work" there are three different ways to go, and they corss over each other. I often have a feeling to take a particular one, and it usually works in my favor when I follow that feeling.
Same, I also grew up with no AC. I remember having a metal box fan growing up. We did the same thing with wet towels and what not. I love the sound of the box fans also to which it runs year around with maintenance.
Hi Chrome, the way youre boy does is because he does not understand getting freeked out. He loves you more then himself. In his words: if you get angry i am the only thing alive around so he is mad at me. You have to tell him and cuddle him, so he lurns. Enjoy your days out there.
In my experience on Vancouver Island you're safe to camp on almost any crown land unless signage tells you otherwise. Mosaic Forest Land (private property), a totally different story.I'm not sure if you have the backroads mapbook for the island, but it's well worth it, lots of useful info in there.
YES…. 🎥🎥🎥 Drone footage and the 🎶 🎶🎶🎶! There’s the haircut scene 😊…the haircut trimmer is super cool! I remember you showed us on the LIVE stream yesterday what you use.✌️✌️’s!
Charlee Brown Christmas Tree, I have one and it's still growing, one Star, one ordainment and one glitter strip, The Best Tree On Earth, and it's still alive, Neat!...
I have been able to get replacement pins for the weather strips on the doors and with the help of Permatex weather strip adhesive repaired the strips around the door. You could also get push clips for the black plastic trim on the back inside the doors.
I grew up on welfare too, we couldn’t even afford fans! I got my first ac unit two years ago. I prefer my fans though. Lovely waterfall, would be awesome to swim there. Always listen to your spider senses!
Hi chrome I just wanna be your friend. I never been to Canada and I love dogs and cruise. I live here in California San Leandro, California. I want to channel all the time and your friends.
Chrome. Thanks for shouting out that you have my t-shirts, Crystal from Ft. Myers, on your last video, and making them extra special. I answered Amanda's emails. Looking forward to getting them❤
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Looks like it's still on his dashboard!!!😊
Hey Iam pretty close to you as well 😊
That young tree really enjoyed you talking to it and touching it. Yes, I'm weird and I love it.

Chrome you go to the most beautiful places! Thats why I love watching your travels. God's awesome creation!❤❤❤
Wow! Drone view spectacular! Water fall gorgeous. Tree hat way cool. Wow! Just wow!
Don,t forget Chrome the bugs own the woods and you are the visitor. Have a nice day, bugs or no bugs. Tom

The bear poop insight made me laugh! Thx I needed that ❤
Canadian back country looks incredible.
You are so blessed chrome, you live a wonderful life seeing this world the way it was supposed to be Beautiful naturally 😊

I love the sound of a fan makes it helps me sleep at night.
That dramatic music and the Ariel view of your van made me think for a second that I was watching a reconnaissance movie. Very creative. Loved it❤❤❤❤
Another good day 😊 Love when you put up the drone to see where you are. That trailer didn’t look old at all, looked pretty clean. That a-frame by the water, just throw a tarp over it and whala instant shelter. You find the most epic spots 😎☀️
beautiful scenery, so peaceful and quiet
I like the music as you were climbing the mountain. It was perfect.

Bane of my existence lol. Such beautiful scenery. I agree, Chrome, trust your gut. That goes for any situation.
Always a pleasure 😊
Stay safe 🙏

I totally agree if you feel like you can't be there, move...
Back in the 60's we didn't have air here in the house in FL.
The bane of my existence😊

I liked that interesting music when you were going up the hills. Like it could be a scene in a futuristic movie someday.
7:54 that’s beautiful scenery
@VanCity Vanlife Hey Chief Weirdo: your purpose isn’t to roam around the bush. Your purpose is to spread joy and positivity - roaming optional. You’re doing an awesome job at it! ✌️✌️🙏😘
Turn your fan on fresh to help pressurise cabin to prevent dust entering.
My bulldog Poppetje (dutch for dolly) sits on the foottray of my electric wheelchair and barks at everyone that’s getting to close. She’ll go for anything if she thinks she has to protect me.

Chone you're always doing amazing camping van life really enjoy watching yu
Nice people who watched out for the bear. I hope you and Cruz enjoyed your day. Take care❤
I hope your new Online Store will have items for all vehicle living for: cars, SUVs, vans, etc. Also, I hope you'll ship to the US. 😊
Awesome companion you have Sir!
Love that Cruzie is protective. And i two grew up on welfare and no ac. The box fans was all over the house. Lol.
We still live with fans and cries-ventilation...no air conditioners because they use too much electricity.
The box fan story took me right back to my own childhood. We even had the exact fan you described, right down to the colour. Still miss those days...
I love the song you played at 13:30 in this video. It went so well with the feeling of being watched in the woods when you were driving around and exploring. Kind of creepy!
Hey Chrome and Cruz.....always a treat to see your videos.......love the music and the drone views as always.....
Chrome I happened to be watching this video a little drunk 🤭🤭 and it made me laugh when you said can you judge a bear off its poop 🤣🤣🤣
Long time watcher , first time doer ...
Love the ethereal music that started at 13:53. Wow! Great choice.❤
In the UK air con in houses isn’t that common so whenever it’s hot we just open the window (which doesn’t have anything to stop insects from getting in) and use plug in fans.

I love watching your videos.
Ahhhhh, the box fan ❤❤❤
We had the box fan in the bedroom window growing.
Follow your instinct works for which road to take as well.
On the way to "work" there are three different ways to go, and they corss over each other.
I often have a feeling to take a particular one, and it usually works in my favor when I follow that feeling.
Same, I also grew up with no AC. I remember having a metal box fan growing up. We did the same thing with wet towels and what not. I love the sound of the box fans also to which it runs year around with maintenance.
Exact same thing with having fans on. That started for me in Hawaii. Hard to sleep without the fan noise and the breeze.
Maybe the being of your existence is to make great content such as you do. Love the videos y'all!
I keep saying, put a big towel on the bed for Cruzie. Then you just have to wash the towel. It really works and it keeps your bed clean. 😊
I have a large old sheet I put on my bed. Works well. Keeps kitty hair off my comforter until they burrow under. Lol
Love the drone footage 😊so beautiful thank you for sharing 🐶 😊❤
I have to say I really like your video shoots out in the Bsck Country, you combine the Lake, mountains and sprinkled flowers always appreciated 🥰
Hi Chrome, the way youre boy does is because he does not understand getting freeked out. He loves you more then himself. In his words: if you get angry i am the only thing alive around so he is mad at me. You have to tell him and cuddle him, so he lurns. Enjoy your days out there.
Adjust your rear doors and possibly new rubber seals or just drive really slow so you don’t create a vacuum so that the dust doesn’t come in

Go with you gut!!! You subconscious is picking up on something!
Cruisie is the most adorable doggy ever!
All that dust you probably need new door seals all the way around
☮️💟☯️AWESOME THANK YOU FOR SHARING 😎
YES…. 🎥🎥🎥 Drone footage and the 🎶 🎶🎶🎶! There’s the haircut scene 😊…the haircut trimmer is super cool! I remember you showed us on the LIVE stream yesterday what you use.✌️✌️’s!
love your daily content today Chrome and Cruzie face when you were growling is classic
Saying is "It's the bane of my existence" and it means irritation or torment of ur life so if u were talking about the dust lolz spot on👍
Keeping it real with the Double V V’s
Oh Chrome, Drive Emi Out To The Beautiful Places You Showed Us.😊
Stop I need to pick some of those daisy flowers!!!!! Beautiful place.
Hi chrome I just wanna be your friend. I never been to Canada and I love dogs and cruise.
Happy Birthday Lars!!!

😂 I was born and raised in the pj's so I know about the love of fans lol😅
Beautiful! You are living the life!
Thats my Chihuahua hes taken on pits and Dobermans and lived to, tell😂😂😂
Peanut butter in the window LOL ✌️
I grew up on welfare too, we couldn’t even afford fans! I got my first ac unit two years ago. I prefer my fans though. Lovely waterfall, would be awesome to swim there. Always listen to your spider senses!
Beautiful scenery and great advice. Gotta protect our little Cruzie
Bane of my existence is the phrase you’re looking for🎉

@4:35 It looks fine!!!
Wow, Chrome, take a bath on Cruzy every now and then. 😮
Nice swimming hole
Lol Chrome, what you were trying to say is "Bain of my existence".
No, "bane" is the correct spelling.
I use that exact same clippers for my beard. It works great
Loved this video!
Your video gives the true answer to the supposedly rhetorical question of “does a bear $hit in the woods?” Nope. It $hits in the road!
😅Hahahahaha!😂
10:46 maybe go back to this spo some other day to see if that rv is still there and what the site looks like
The music and location you are playing reminds me of the horror movie per cemetery
