What Happens When You Show Up With 500 Van Life Shirts?

SHOWING UP WITH HUNDREDS OF VAN LIFE SHIRTS. MAKING SO MANY PEOPLE SMILE. WHAT A FUN DAY. VAN LIFE IN CANADA.
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.

Run the ads brother we all got bills to pay! Get the bag keep the dream alive! The ones that been here ain’t going anywhere. We got your back

[@jhankins1126]

Came here to say this. I've been here for going on 4 years, and I don't plan on going anywhere. Get that bag, Chrome! It allows for more awesome content

[@BadAssDetailz]

Amen to that! 🤙🏼💯

[@renondagregson1363]

Amanda is a rock star.

[@Pjbuck55]

She sure is! My orders came super quick. Thank you for having such quality products!

[@Makeitbymandy]

Thanks ❤

[@user-sn8sw2vi8z]

👍👍👍

[@viper16vet]

Great to see how a solo van dweller got a community, made trusted friendships, and now, creating a business model. Enjoy seeing behind the scenes.

[@claudiakarl7888]

What about a cooling mat for Cruz? You can get them in pet stores. The cooling gel inside reacts to the weight put on it. They’re also great for humans on hot days. No sweating while seating.

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

Thanks, I just ordered one for me.

[@gabsy6443]

I had one for my cat, he seemed to enjoy it

[@lisabeare2366]

We have 2 of them. They work awesome

[@keyarawveg]

Very cool. Didn't realize this was a thing. Ordering for my dogs!

[@Makeitbymandy]

He had one. I don’t think Cruz liked it.

[@tdawg5253]

Just letting you know, we like watching the progress of your shop and the content of the shop and your business.

[@Musicescape17]

Yes, absolutely agree!!!👍🏼

[@larrybridgewaterjr2841]

Hi Chrome, in the States, we have your preferred carrier come pick up your outgoing shipments. Negotiate a shipping rate with a carrier. Work smarter not harder. Amanda processes the orders and puts it in a cloth dump chute that drops to dump bin with wheels on ground floor. Carrier comes on a regular pick up schedule and they load on their truck. Bada Bing...work is done! Really enjoying the businees that you are building. Keep it up! Cruz is a rockstar too!

[@Makeitbymandy]

Canada Post doesn’t have such a service. And though the chute idea is great for soft unbreakable goods, some of the items being shipped from up there will definitely be breakable. ✌️

[@larrybridgewaterjr2841]

@Makeitbymandy The takeaway is not to duplicate work on e-commerce as sales grow. UPS, FedEx, DHL have shown up with deliveries on the show. They should have a pick up service with negotiated rates. Of course you would not drop breakable items down a chute. But right now, shirts and stickers are being shipped. Just a thought for Chrome to focus on what he loves to do...trips to the outdoors and share daily van life.

[@freebirdnorway]

Cruz looks like coming right out of a crime movie with that red paint on and his face expression! 😂 Great choice to go back to daily videos. Love your content! 👍

[@Mcdamn1026]

It’s not common you come across someone so full of happiness and excitement! You ROCK! Invite Bruce up to help you!

[@janineallen4363]

It's amazing to see how far you've come with this project! The shop is looking better and better every day!! Thanks for sharing all the "little things" you do from day to day.

[@daviddubois5123]

I appreciate your thoughtfulness in the advertisements area, for sure

[@Scorpio1168]

We are not a glum lot!! Keep smiling and throwing those double v's up in the air. WEIRDOS UNITE BABY!!✌🏼✌🏼

[@renondagregson1363]

Wow your sales are great. Many blessings to your new business.❤❤❤❤

[@tynitahaines4012]

Chrome I'm so happy for you and all of your accomplishments. Hey Cruzey Bear 🐻., and yes u are adorably cute.

[@gman9582]

I love how you keep it real, Chrome. We appreciate minimal advertisements but we know you have to make a living also. It won’t hurt my feelings if I see an add or two. I know it will benefit you. More power to you brother. I literally woke up this morning, took a a few sips of coffee while looking out my back window of my house and thought, I wish I could have the same feeling that Chrome does in the morning while sipping coffee, looking out the van window of his van and living his dream. I have a great job, great family and a large house, however, deep down, I’d rather be living like you, sir. God bless!

[@reesee6420]

That is so interesting! Thank you for working so hard to give us content.

[@gmor3636]

Chrome you are freaking rocking it !! ✌️✌️

[@PawLet_144]

Cruize needs a little plastic pool to cool off. ❤

[@grannypeacock1218]

As far as everyday videos, you know if you make em, we’ll watch em

[@femalepower6244]

Hey Chrome. Get Cruz a doggy cooling-off mat, he will love it.. My dog (Pomeranian furball) .. A lot ❤ to Cruz.

[@MyCMB77]

I’m all smiles! Thanks for the new filming and posting schedule. I’m happy happy happy! 😀

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

I'm glad this made you so happy! And Amanda - TOTAL ROCKSTAR!!!

[@Makeitbymandy]

Thanks Patti ❤

Awesome people don't forget to smash the like button, new viewers subscribe, push the notification bell so you won't miss any videos and share this video with your love ones. Thank you all for your support. Have a bless day. 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@teamicdee]

Have you heard of Isaac Turner? He's a bus/van builder, Song writer. His song "I just want to bring back my smile" starts out..." Sell it all, build a van, ...." I think you'd like this song. And Isaac could use a little encouragement these days~ Love you n Cruz~

[@user-km4ro7xp2s]

"Shoving ads down their faces:" that part made me laugh. 😂

[@Sara-M]

I love your channel. Much happiness to you, Cruzie and your Weirdos family. Looking forward to what happens next. Slainte!

[@jodiesebek2440]

Shop is coming along and looking so RAD . Idea for your bins to label them on the front side with a clear sleeve and but removable cards on what's in each tote 😉 Smooches for Cruzie ❤❤💋💋🐾🐾

[@wideawaketotruth5301]

Keep doing what you do, Chrome. You inspire me! Really good energy, dude.

[@jasonkelly9373]

Great vids let see if we can get crome a millon subs ..great work ethics

[@julien2912]

Wow! That was at least over $5,000 of sales on all those misprinted T-shirts. I hope that means you recovered the cost of all of the misprinting on those and were able to make a little profit after that. Thanks Amanda for all of your hard work!

[@gmor3636]

Love Chrome and Cruz ! ❤✌️✌️

[@rebeccaberger8668]

I don't mind watching promotions from you. You always blend them in your content where it supports your story of the day and doesn't take away from the video. ❤

[@Sandra-jm4tn]

Love the new shop. It's looking amazing. Give Cruzie a hug for me.

[@lostnfound1526]

What's up weirdos!!

[@user-bj8zq2lb1z]

The post office will pick it up from your warehouse for free when it’s in such big quantities. You should ask the manager

[@pilgrimpeace7763]

15:33 🤣🤣🥾🥾get it, get it, eat the add! 🤣

[@clydesmith1855]

Chrome and Cruzzie you make ads fun and based on reality.

[@debyarger3084]

Chrome,im so glad things are working out for you in life. I've been watching for about five years now, and you're doing great things. But....i think Cruz stole the show when he gave you the stink eye when he heard the word BATH!!! LOL

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I am pleased your years of hard work have paid off.

[@jamesbaird2126]

Im winning the lottery Friday night ..and when I do...and when I do. I'm coming from Hamilton to build out that ambulance. I'm mean 4x4 ..44 inch tires lol thanks crome I had a heart attack 6 weeks ago and you keep my head in check every time I watch you I'm a truck driver and doing a total make over of my life stop stressing over everything once again long time follower thank you ..and thank your little pig cruise

[@Theodorussfo]

Just eat it eat it eat it was just hilarious

[@pollystemen7219]

You’ve built your channel with hard work and your fun personality. Now you can support other people including your local post office! I was afraid we were going to lose those for awhile! People who are jealous of successful people are foolish. It makes us all better off.

[@BeccaBullard8]

I enjoyed this video…I’m excited for you for the advertising companies. I was especially excited watching you go to that little store and stacking all those packages into their mail bins…that was crazy 😜. I hope you’re having a wonderful day today!!! See you tomorrow!!! Hugs

[@SoleJourner]

Cotton candy and bubblegum 😭 You’re such a big kid 😂 I love it! You make me smile. 😊

[@westcoasthiker76]

“I could be a multi millionaire if I’d say yes to advertising” ???? No hyperbole there I am sure.

[@raytailor9251]

Don't lean skids Chrome! If they fall over, someone can get seriously hurt.

[@svartedauden3566]

"Doing this every day is challenging!" Thanks for doing it bruh! It's like Bob coming up with a name for the Burger of the Day! :)

[@ushouldcthis]

I tried buying a shirt and i kept get an error message. No wonder! 👏👏👏 Amanda rocks! Can't Cruz hang out in the shop with the AC? The place looks huge now finished. You amaze me with your energy. All the best!!

[@victoriabaker4400]

I always rhought your bin system was smart. Especially for kit-like stuff such as polishing or body work. In this bigger shop, it will really be helpful to take a bin to various places. I think you'll want at least one of those rolling carts with a shelf to move around bins and batches of tools.

[@christoffersundin1815]

You wake up before the rooster 🐔 😂 Like my grandma

[@cherylmckay9347]

Chrome THANK YOU!! Thank you for keeping it real!! Thank you for showing us all what it's like to run a KZbin channel!!

[@cookingismypassion81]

Run the ads!! Who cares what others say! The true supporters will still be there!!

[@rttayor8171]

Your an inspiration. Thanks!

Greetings, weirdos' family!!😀🍻

Hello from Georgia. We just love you down south. Thanks for all the hard work you do.❤❤❤✌️✌️

[@crescent11]

You’ve been hustling product for years. You finally admitted jackery was your 1st and longest running benefactor

[@DOCHONDA13]

I will watch everyday!!! You keep my life exciting!!! Because of you I am now able to enjoy trips I have dealt with travel anxiety for years you have helped me more than you will ever know !!!! Stay weird !!!

[@VancityvanlifeMYFAV]

Remember to set a reminder to shower at the new shop before bed also maybe even shower Cruz in in the new shop would be a epic video

[@JC71]

Just 2 minutes into the video and Chrome is already showing us the goods when he wakes up.😂

[@n8BDetroit]

Chrome is the best #1 🎉

[@christinamann3640]

Cruz looks like he’s so cute he’s been smooched by someone with lipstick 💄 😂

[@reisenvanlife3285]

Bro, I love the new word "Bonkers" bro! 😉I'm impressed by the detail you take to make your shop look classy.

[@margiestringfield]

I appreciate you not just advertising just anyone. Some of the KZbinrs I watch.. maann I don't feel I can trust them anymore 😢 they just did an ad that was clearly paid by the sponsor. Thanks for keeping it REAL!

[@lindamcgowen4597]

I noticed you marked the bins on the top. Makes it much easier to find if marked on the end where you can easily see.

[@VANCITYVANLIFE]

That was just for when we moved to the new shop. Otherwise, I always mark the fronts

[@lindamcgowen4597]

[@shabazan]

The postal service doesn’t do pickups?

[@elizabethwilson2277]

You make me so ready to get raving again. Tired of renting. Love you & Cruz. ✌️

[@donaldfrazier5244]

Amanda is definitely a great asset to the business,great worker and a great person! I actually have two of those misprinted shirts coming and I’m stoked!

[@user-yg1db1xh5n]

Hello Cruzzie!

[@christinamann3640]

Another thing to consider is that when you have ads for things, you need those things to have their own integrity to reflect well on your channel 👍

[@dawnkangas2968]

Awesome

[@delvinatabing5598]

The local post office should love you as you are giving them business.

[@chrisrice2083]

Chrome you watch DDE? I love there channel and I hope the two sponsors you talked to today works out for you anything that helps you also helps us with more content and maybe more trips so in a way it does helps us rather people wanna see it like that or not but you have came along way from where you started to where you are now keep grinding chrome

[@TheBlackLeprechaun]

Hey Chrome buddy, I know long time, no hear. Liking the shop. Just two things buddy, I would put border frames around the tables so things won't roll off. And put rubber mats on the benches so thing won't dig into the tops. Double V's and Stay Free!

[@davedolinsek2685]

You may need to get more bins and another rack for when you do van builds / rebuilds and other jobs in the future you can use them for organization and neat and tidy work spaces

[@tatianablume]

To Amanda, Cuzi, and You!! All my Love 💕!!

[@miekelijnen]

Try it with some butter rubbing it on the paint and removing it with some paper towels😉

[@KatB84]

Boy when u said bath. Cruz with that look says Hell no. 😊

[@annetow9664]

Love you chrome and love how the shop is coming together!! Loving the daily vlogs. Hope you can take a break to the back country again soon!!

[@MsSoozy]

Just killin it! All the packages going out, that was hilarious!! I got one of them arriving today! Exciting!

[@MyraFlores]

Maybe you can add a small washer and dryer for your shop.

[@matthewwallace3768]

Please continue daily videos I wat and listen to you while I'm up

How about on top of the daily videos... Do an extra "weekly round-up" video on a Sunday as a re-cap of all the stuff thats happened during the week? 👍

[@trevorfletcher6791]

Thanks for the videos

[@martaparsons5633]

Congratulations! Your business is great and growing. Please get the air fixed for Cruzie. Take care❤
