Living full-time in my rolling tiny home has been the best decision of my life. Off-Grid living offers a peace and connection to life that you just can't explain. When i first started van life i build a stealth camper van with the mindset the you had to live a stealth van life and i soon discovered that you can just live the city van life and boondock in the countryside and as long as you are respectful of the backcountry and cities you live in. Stealth van life in not necessary. Be proud of the life you choose to live, Share this van life journey with everyone. Remember Tiny Homes and The whole tiny house lifestyle is very popular and #vanlife is no different. When you don't hide it people will come say hi and ask you questions. The world is more curious than hateful. Well......Welcome to my everyday van life adventures. My name is Chrome Valdez and i travel full-time with Cruz the bulldog. Stay weird everyone and thank you for being here.

I don't know if you check these anymore. I just wanted to tell you after 800 plus video watched...i am now a van-home owner. Thanks for everyday inspiration. I think you are the Awesomeness Werido, and now I am officially one too!
I really enjoy watching your videos, not because of what you do, but because you are making videos doing what you love to do. You are being yourself and that is what drives people to do the things they do. We should all be who we are and what we enjoy doing. It is up to us to find that in our lives. I really enjoy your content and it brings me joy to watch you enjoy doing what you are doing no matter what other negative things people have to say. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing. You inspire me!
I just love your finding happiness in everything.
Hay Chrome, Just watched Foresty Forest. He just bought a Chevy Express van to build. You need to see it 😁😊😁😊👍👍 Dennis from Delaware U.S.A

Kinda miss Foresty’s old blue ox, but, I guess we can chalk it up as progress (yet bigger dsn’t always equate to better). Ole Foresty Forest is a character, too, lol.

Quigley 😀 But realistically, 4x4 is not a cure all. Ill take 2wd and tire chains any day over 4x4. Less is more.

@@GiantMeteor2024 It's all relative to what you do, most places 2wd with chains is fine but in canada 4x4 comes in handy much more often than other parts of the world. you may only *need* 10% of the time but the other 30% that it's nice peace of mind really makes it worthwhile.
Thanks for the escape to Canada! Love the views
Merry Christmas, Chrome and Cruz! That spot you found looks amazing.
Love that there are six comments before the video has any views! 😁 Merry Christmas, Chrome and Cruz!
Well, FORESTY F gotta a bigger van. You infected him.

I am really liking the drone shots.
You're all set and ready for winter. Self contained. I love it!
I just hunkered down with the van in my fav boondock spot in the woods of the Southern Tier of NYS for the next few days. Looking forward to the Christmas Eve live as the approaching Alberta Clipper dumps it's wrath here 😀😎
You and Cruzzie are surrounded by such a beautiful Christmas scenery!! The snow on the trees is amazing! Enjoy and have fun!

Nobody works harder than you Chrome. You went from 100k to 127k in no time. You will be looking at 500k this time next year and no one is more deserving. Great video and happy holidays to you and Cruzy Bear!!
Hello, I pray you're doing well today. Kisses to cruz little face!
Hi! Really enjoy your videos. You've helped me really think about my living situation and how I can live without having a large burden on my mind. Thanks to you I've been able to think ahead of people in my age group and I feel a little bit more prepared.
Awesome! Your New Blanket Looks So Comfortable!! Hugs!!!
Enjoy your goodies, sleep wel under your beautiful blanket 🎄🎁🤗❤️
What a spectacular setting! A great week of gift giving and happiness!
Just wanted to say thanks for the trash can recommendation. Also thanks for giving an Ontario van lifer a pile of your stickers. He gave me two of your weirdos unite stickers. I stuck them to your trash cans. I love the sentiment of that message.
It's Awesome for you to promote solid Canadian companies! I've been looking for solar batteries and am so glad you are introducing a Canadian company! Keep up the great work Chrome! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thanks for the check-in today! The drone footage of the snow ❄️ covered trees 🌲 was stunning! Can’t wait for the live stream. Love Ya, stay warm and safe. Big hugs! Bye!
Merry Christmas from Texas. From a everyday fan. Follow all your adventures. I always feel as if I'm there with you and Cruz. Your now apart of my family. Stay weird.
What a great gift 2 x 100 AH Coldweather Canbat !!!
@8:04 OOOUUU, Someone was doing donuts or drifting in the snow with their home! LOL. The scenery from drone are awesome. Van hard and safe.
Wow. One CanBat 12v 100AH is $850.00 US.
Your such a cute little boy when your opening your presents 🎁.
Stay Weird Chrome and Cruz ✌😎👍

Peace brother... stay warm & safe.
Great that you upgraded the batteries and found a Canadian company to supply! It will be so nice that you don’t have to panic about the battery level being too low!!
Love all the gifts you received, enjoy! The blanket is beautiful and matches your others well.
Thank you for spreading positivity with your videos
Wow, 12/30 @ 15:39 made me glance at the clock...528pm... I love coincidence!
Hi Chrome, yes they should be a great upgrade as they should have at least a 2000 cycle lifetime and can deplete them to nerly empty, would not go below 20% too often to extend life of them
3:50 min. Cruz, put me in the van pleace 🙏🙏
Research by the German Automobile Club (ADAC) showed pretty decisively that snow tyres and chains are much more effective than 4WD in staying in control on snow and ice. So you are right!
Merry Christmas to Chrome And Cruz. Kitsilano includes our Van Life and Homeless neighbours. Best to all!
Can't wait for the review of the Batteries! I love that they have the ability to charge in cold. 🍁🍁

6:02 Cruze under the van is like "what are you doin way out there silly its cold!"
Merry Christmas Chrome and Cruz. What a great video you produced. Can't wait for tomorrows live stream.
Yo yo Chrome n Cruz. Happy holidays
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Enjoy while you can
Beautiful backroad Christmas scenery 😍 ...enjoy your cold beers and new batteries!!!
Been following you from the beginning ! Thank you for your company during these times 💗 🐾💚🌿 Jean & Rawkstar
I found once you put chains on a van it is unstoppable. I can climb the steepest hill, and go down it safely as well. Without it you have no chance
Awe, I want your blankee lol You have the nicest people you do business with.
Is Jeffie Bear getting your old batteries????? I need to say I LOVE your videos. I watch them daily. I hope you and those who love you have a wonderful holiday season!!!!! I have an eight-year plan to retire and hope my health holds out so I can join van life. My kids think I am nuts, but you and others inspire me.... especially people like Jeffy Bear, who is about the age I would be if I am blessed enough to move forward.
Whatsupppp weardoooosss!!!!
Chrome you are my teacher I learn lot from you
those batteries R going to be a game changer, cant wait.
Awesome to have a battery sponsor
Glorious scenery keep warm out there
Its Christmas Eve morning in Boston and I can’t wait for this live stream tonight!! Time to binge old episodes until it starts 😍
That fire looks amazing Chrome. Merry Christmas ‼️
Congratulations! We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Get yourself a Highlift Jack. It is a Jack and a Winch.
Keep that van toasty for you and Cruz! Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
Chrome's out there having a white Christmas and all I have is rain and mud
You are in a beautiful place for Christmas Chrome! Vanlife rocks ❤️
Nature's ice chest.... a winter wonderland.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE !
Thanks for sharing the tip about chains on the front. I only have a set for the back but now I think it’s time for some shopping. Happy holidays!
Another great video!...and you’re now at 128,000 subscribers!
Confused tonight Chrome because you are my favorite You Tuber! I just had to Subscribe to your channel again. Just thought you should know. Wishing a MERRY CHRISTMAS Chrome and Cruz! Love you Guys.
I can watch yu and cuz 24 on 7 .🤗❤💯
I’ve waited for almost 2 years for someone to tell me the differences between an install of lithium vs agm batteries. Didn’t know if it was on the solenoid end or where, SSI v I could never purchase parts to prepare before buying the batteries. Thanks, Chrome. I watch almost all of your videos, but apparently I missed this one.
Ohhhh...it is such a treat to see your joy in EVERYTHING! Beautiful Christmas scene with frosted trees...dont forget your beers!!!!! Love your new "nap" blanket...PERFECT! Merry Christmas, Chrome and Cruz!!! 🎅🎄🤶
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
Black and decker has some awesome portable rechargeable vacuums.
It’s been too long since I put my drink of choice in the snow ❄️ to get cold. I’ll need to work on that. CruzieBear was so cute sitting in front of the heater, looking at you with those “thanks for the heater Dad” eyes!
Happy Holidays Chrome ,Danika and Cruz. Be safe.🤗
I'd love to have a cabin right back there where you are😍

Enjoy your videos and learning so much for when we are ready to travel more off the grid! Can’t say I can relate to the cold weather and snow cause it’s almost 80 today in Austin, Texas
Beautiful scenery. Happy Holidays Chrome!

REMEMBER to unhook the solar panels befor disconnecting batteries, THEN connect new batteries BEFORE reconnecting the panels.
Beautiful video! Glad to see how you've progressed.... thanks for sharing. Happy holidays.
Always like the snow scenery
