WOAH! I Think I'm a Bit Of a Hoarder. This VAN LIFE SHOP Is Shutting Down.
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.

Chrome you are so awesome for helping out your friends like Emily with a place to fix her van. It's a lronic to watch her videos now being in the same situation you were in not that long ago. It's nice to see how both of you are taking care of each other where you can.

I think you have added to the value of the property in the first shop and have definitely added to the next shop with building improvements for function and appearance. The space for all the things you will do needs everything you collected to be ready to go. Once organization is done it will be a delightful home base.
