- Is this van life lifestyle glamorized or does this epic lifestyle really exist...This is the truth of what we experience living in a stealth cargo van. People are loaded with so many van life Questions about worries and fears when they should be focusing on the positive and awesome things that are about to happen in their life. Van life is only as epic as you create it. Your life is a product of your own creation. So make it EPIC AF

The beauty of nature is incredible
I love how you keep it real and not try to be something you're not.
OMG Disco is so freekin cute and sweet lol. I wanna just give him a big kiss! That scenery is beautiful!
I've always said, "Starting over is what I do best." Nomad life is what I'm supposed to do! Change IS so damned exciting. BTW, I LOVED watching Disco swim. What a sweetie pie. I know you miss him terribly. But look at all these memories! XOXO
Another youtuber with three dogs shared that you should not let a dog swim to long because they can swallow to much water and they seem ok but might not wake up the next morning. But I do love how Disco is swimming more and more....I think he really likes it.
Any expression is 'Art', to the expresser. Building a TH-cam channel is 'Art, KEEPitRollin'
Wow the wood carvings and the painted wall are awesome👍 another beautiful place. You go Disco you little swimmer 👏💖🙋🏼♀️
That opening scene with the sunrise over the mountain... Amazing!!!!
Disco Dog is the absolute best! Adorable! He’s swimming like a champ and it’s a great way to keep him cool while he engages in some great no-stress-on-the-joints exercise. Change is fabulous! The trick is to learn from it and not fear it. Peace out man✌🏼
I absolutely love your genuine giggles. You're so real!
I totally agree we are not meant to sit still. Stagnation brings depression and ill at ease with life. Great to see you and Disco getting out there in nature. He seems more fit and energetic in the last few videos. Good idea on putting something more buoyant in his chest part of the life jacket. That's hard on their neck while treading water. Love you guys! I can hardly wait to retire so I can join the adventure! As soon as my knee heals up and i am rehabilitated this old hippie is going to take herself a weekend trip and camp in the car.
Oh How Awesome! Disco loves the water now that he has a lifejacket ... Your videos just keep getting better and better. I love watching them. Keep up the great job and the love. 👍👍👍
Incredible things that you keep finding.. The chipmunk.. The totem. The carvings.. The breathtaking scenery. Who would think this all exists... & all in 1 day! The slow scans + music r amazing
Hi Chrome Im sitting and drinking some coffee cheers to you. Watching old videos you did ....
Thanks for taking us who are living quiet lives of desperation on your adventures and to vicariously experience your freedom.
🍃🍂🌿What a beautiful place to wake up. I especially enjoyed carving and art .. Then Disco stole the show with his swimming skills. Adorable 🐶😎
Beautiful area, Chrome! Park is really cool & so is the totem pole and wood carvings. ‘Makes you realize how much art is out there if we simply slow down and look for it. Have safe travels!
It made my heart so happy to see Disco enjoying himself in the water!💓 That is such wonderful exercise for him, without stress on his joints. Happy, happy!
I found your channel by accident. I am so glad to follow your journey. You keep it real and have a kind spirit. 👍🐕 love your boy disco.
Looks gourguess ! U r happy n feeling good ! N disco is also specially if he sees n feel ur good energy!! Injoy be safe n have fun.. Thanks for the share!!👍🏼✌️🌹💕
I love disco he makes me so happy he looks so cute in his life jacket
Disco + life vest swimming =awesome!
I could look at disco all day. How epically cute.Enjoy your life .
Totem poles and chainsaw carving as 3 dimensional graffiti. Disco swimming with his huge tennis ball-outstanding.
Chrome.... thanks for your words at the ending you are right and rest asure what you are doing is touching peoples life...... probably the only guy here from Puerto Rico!! I want to be in a van too!!
Joelo make ends meet your not the only Latino here lol 🇵🇷
Joelo make ends meet Hola! My son is 1/2 Boriquen and his fathers family is from Mayaguez.
Fish pimps 😂😂what an awesome location!!!! It seems I say that a lot lol with your videos. Just beautiful wall art! And Disco swimming is just cuteness overload
OH MY GOD!!!!! Have a great time and thank you for making my day. Love to Disco 🐾💖🐾
Oh, I miss the coast! Beautiful! Stunning! Can't wait to explore this area of my province. Love the chainsaw carvings. Hugs to you and Disco.
Epic vid as usual Chrome. I'd say put half a noodle down each side of is jacket should help displace his weight better and a cheap fricking opshen. FOLLOW YOUR dreams. A lot of people can't even dream😎🤙💥💥Steve in the UK.
Disco is my spirit animal. 💙
Love this video. First, the totems. Totems are cool all by themselves. But, that coolness factor goes through the roof when you realize they're more than just art. Here's how one narrative puts it:
_"Animal images on totem poles depict creatures from family crests. These crests are considered the property of specific family lineages and reflect the history of that lineage. Animals commonly represented on the crests include the beaver, bear, wolf, shark, killer whale, raven, eagle, frog and mosquito. The crest animals represent kinship, group membership and identity, while the rest of the pole may represent a family’s history."_
I love that: *kinship, group membership, and identity.* Isn't that a big part of what #VanLife is all about? Finding others who share our values, and connecting with them in an informal sort of group membership? I think so.
And, that idea of 'finding others' reminded me of something Timothy Leary said back in the 1970's. Check this out:
_"Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the 'normal people' as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like 'Have a nice day' and 'Weather’s awful today, eh?', you yearn inside to say forbidden things like 'Tell me something that makes you cry' or 'What do you think deja vu is for?'. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…"_
I love that, too: *"Everyone* carries a piece of the puzzle. *Nobody* comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust *your* instincts. *Do* the unexpected. *_Find the others..."_*

Thanks for sharing...disco is adorable.
Thank you for fitting Disco with a life vest. His breed is not well adapted (weight distribution) for swimming. Now I can breath a sigh of relief.! He really is enjoying his new 'floatability.' Great, relaxing video, Chrome ! Keep on, we love your weirdness. 😊❤️👍
Hi Chrome, I love your zest for life!
Chrome you always find beautiful places, I enjoy your music choices, it makes me dance, keep up the good work, Weirdos Unite !
I absolutely LOVE Disco in the water! He seems to love it too. Have fun, keep vloging.
So cute! Disco would follow you anywhere!
How cute is Disco swimming with his life vest. ❤️🐶🐶❤️
YUP miss that fat old guy
Great video Chrome, great to see Disco having the same positive effect on peoples life as you brother. I can speak for myself and you have definitely opened my eyes. For that I say Thank you bro you are an amazingly positive influence on me.
Omg Disco makes me smile so hard! He looks so happy in that water!
Disco is so adorable swimming. I taught my dogs to swim just by going in and they would follow.
Go Disco, just swimming like crazy. I like the way you think!!!!
CROME...your creativity with photography, video-photography, music...plus U and DISCO is EPIC!!!...😎❤️😎
Disco is the cutest!!!
Great one today Chrome! Perfect message for a boring hump day. Push forward to get over life's humps 😉😍🤗
Disco seems much more comfortable in the water with his life jacket. That sleepy face in the beginning......well it produced an "awww" from this lady!
Good morning, great place to wake up 😎 Disco looks great out in the water. Thanks for the message.
Disco is getting so good and independent at swimming.
Amazing video
Also I LOVE your message at the end and 100% agree. It can be scary but I myself am in the process of getting to a place where I don’t have to be stuck in what everyone says is the “norm”
Your joy is infectious!
"If something comes in that sparks excitement, follow that, with everything!" Chrome 2018 😊🙏👍
If you have a passion ... chase it!!! Don't keep telling yourself "tomorrow" ... tomorrow never comes, as it will become "today". Time passes far too quickly!
You remind me so much of my dad who also lives in a van. Great videos btw you keep my motivation up for the day!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! The video and music used in this video. I rewatched several sections just to bop around in my chair! :) haha...Thanks for another enjoyable start to my day! XOXO
Thank you Chrome you inspire me bro, I totally agree with moving around to keep things fresh. thanks for the video!
Once again Disco steals the show with his swimming abilities! He was so cute swimming around, with his little tongue hanging out a little, while pushing his big green tennis ball around! He really looks handsome in his new swim vest! I am so happy that y'all are able to wake up to different places each day! Canada is very beautiful, and, hopefully, I will be able to experience it one day myself! My days are counting down fast in the wake of going back on the road...I can hardly wait! Even though I spent 38 years on the road as a truck driver I always had a 'home' to come back to after each trip. THIS time my van 'will' be my home...sorta scary, but, I'll be fine I'm betting!
Great video as always, Chrome! Travel safe, be happy, love God, and Adios!

Yes! I love your encouragement and when you lay it all out! You really speak to my heart! I'm going to get a van and make my dreams come true!

You’re such an inspiration!! I’m 72 and can’t stand to sit still!!
Loved the video. I find totem poles so interesting, one of these days I'm gonna have to find out what their symbols mean. I think they tell a story but I could be totally wrong. Loved the art wall. It was so much fun watching Disco swim, he's getting to be a real water baby.
Love the adventure today,beautiful and inspiring.
I hear you:
Keep it movin'.
Keep it real.
Keep it positive.
🤣What fun! 😎🐶🚐

Looks like you are at a really cool place! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
enjoy ur peace & relaxation with disco
& the gorgeous town ur in
Morning nothing wrong with a break you make great stuff worth the wait.
OMG, you are so awesome, you make me smile and disco oh he is so cute, love, love him. I have been watching van dweller videos for at least 5 or 6 weeks. You have shown me the most beautiful places. I have spent countless hours on this damn computer looking for a van. This time next year I will be moving and I want to go out west so bad. Hoping that van finds me cause I want to see other parts of this country. I am in Georgia and have not been many places in my life, I am a retired female that has a fire deep in my soul to see the west. Wanted to do it a long time, this is the time for me to venture out. I will take that leap of faith and start my journey. I also stumbled across your videos and man you are so stoked about what you are doing, I am so happy that you are happy. Keep the videos coming.
That is awesome, Lavern! I say go for it, girl, you got this!!!
Thanks for sharing your adventures ~ love the giggle, I feel the same way ~ even in everyday life & it's beauty
Love ALL your videos. They keep getting more awesome everyday! i look forward to every one, it’s relax time with Vancity Vanlife!
BAM! And that's how you do it! Even though you mimick everything I think, say, do, & believe I don't know you from anyone but this particular realization and phase of your journey made ME spring out of bed! Wheeeee! Stay open and keep moving forward!!
...Oh, is it wierd that when I watch Disco walk I do a little waddle, too? 🤣
Awesome footage chrome and with disco swimming sweet that's great u gave him a life jacket and he's an great swimmer and at the end the talk chrome thanks for that keep moving thier always places to go and meet👍👍😃😃🐕😉☺️☺️ c u tomorrow

Absolutely loved the ending to this video. You really spoke to me, so thank you. Also, loved watching Disco enjoy swimming!
Disco was so cute, he loved swimming. Good buy that life jacket for him :-) ... Love seeing the scenery to your good music choices, your channel is growing steadily, won't be long before you can keep driving..
On the totem pole, I think the black bird with big long beak is a ravin. Eagles 🦅 have shorter crooked beaks.
You always catch the best shots ever!!! Enjoyed as always. Namaste my friend. You are awesome.
Thanks for sharing your amazing journey and video love yah Chrome and Disco
GOOD MORNING!!!😉 BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL! !!
Thank you for sharing
Great start in a new location.Hey my wife loves your sunglasses.She wants to know where we can buy them.Love Discos doggy float😎
The wood carving..the beautiful locations. ALL in the fine details! Thank you for posting! Love floatie for Disco, be careful may end up with a fish🐸. Many gr8t days for you, so earned it!
Change IS good!! EVERYTHING happens for a reason, AND..... ITS OK TO OUTGROW THINGS!!!!!
You are so beautiful and cool! I would love to dance to some good music with you and get in the groove. But alas, I live far away. I just came home from three weeks living on the road. I have watched all of your videos, and we talked about stuff we saw in your videos frequently. But man, I could only make it three weeks until my children were homesick and I had to head home. I respect you so much, and I thank you for sharing your true, authentic experience, as well as your wonderful personality. We love your dog too. Peace and blessings in your journeys
🇨🇦 Powell River nice place!!! Disco sure likes to swim and play with his ball cool !!!!
Gotta work on getting you a drone!!!! No lights, you can see the stars and there are a lot of them aren't there?! Lang Bay? Seashelt, BC? You headin' to Powell River? Sunshine Coast. Lovely. You don't like fish? Wild fish? Not that farmed shit. We have a plaque place at our Fleming Beach for those who have passed. Way cool. Also our Memorial Park in Esquimalt has memorial plaques on the walkway. Glad to see that the volunteers have a spot. IT is beautiful country up there. BC is best my friend! Chainsaws, yes, just a chainsaw, kinda like "just with a spray can". It boggles the mind how people can create these works of art.
Disco sure like his swimming! He seems to have mastered that life jacket perfectly. Some dogs don't like them. Oh that tongue just sticking out a wee bit, screams cuteness! Bulldogs like Bostons are top heavy. One of my Bostons was a smooth swimmer, the other, who is now 14, splashed so bad that he got water down his ears and stuff. Totally understand your talk, very well, you really are finding another part of you Chrome and that rocks. Keep up the adventures, love life and snuggle that cutie Disco! Stay beautiful!
Great video thanks. Love the totem pole.
OMG! DISCO CUTENESS! :D
Love the life jacket. That will be really good for his joints!!!!
Disco was so happy to be with you... he was such a happy pup
OMGosh... Disco is dangerously adorable
That little Disco face is epic!! Cute personified !
Disco wants his coffee too...😄😄😄😄
Disco had a blast!
