Each one of us is a dying man. One day closer for each. Make today your best day ever!
That's some awesome truth there . Thanks for that wisdom .
Would love to meet you one day. I’m full time but working, but I also am fighting health issues. I’m in Oklahoma.
Facts
Amen brother!
F’ckin right!
On a tight budget and 30 day build with only 3 power tools...he did a fantastic job!👏
Love how he repurposed items and kept his Dads desk. I hope he does well in his vanlife ✌️❤️
He surely has the motto of "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Turning the negatives into positives. Wishing this "cool dude" all the best and happy travels.
It's in a true though we have to be our own cheerleaders and our own champions in life cuz life is hard it really is but if we can root ourself on nothing can stop us
@@lisasharinglifestorieswith4182 Very true.
You learn that.
I've had a mechanical heart valve since 1993 and have been in congestive heart failure for 12 years. I totally understand what you are going through. The nomadic life is epic and I have no regrets about pursuing this life!
How long do the valves usually last for? I love that yours is holding up. Can you get another one if that one messes up? Prayers for your health to improve.
He sounds down to earth and genuine. Wish him safety and improved health for a long time
I’ve had heart issues recently. I fully appreciate what this guy is doing.
Hopefully you make a recovery. Keep safe.
We need to get elon musk on heart replacements. Rather than brain plugs
@Evin whiteson after the way his last rocket launch went, I'd rather not risk it hahaha
Same here I had a heart attack in december at 38. Heart problems run in my family unfortunately,
I love his attitude, he’s a survivor for sure. Glad he found a way to deal with his situation and make things work and that he’s OK with it.
Like his attitude and his van he appears to be enjoying himself. May The Blessings Be With Him.
"In sickness and in health" seems only one stuck to those vows. My thoughts are with you sir.
Very encouraging to me as an "older" woman in my 80th year here in Earth School ! Making the best of my remaining time here too ! Blessings to you Bearded man ! 🎉
❤ great story and I can relate, having almost died at 19 and now, having lived to 74 with one leg, and in a wheelchair for the last 5 years, but with a Sprinter, I travel for a few days at a time right now, due to my dogs. But damn life has been wonderful to me and I hope it continues to be great for you.
I love this guy. A true inspiration! “Never give up.” Is a great motto to live by. 🥰
Listening to this man was so inspirational. I hope all the best for him in the future.
What a wonderful episode! Cheers to the bearded nomad !
No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Prayers for healing, blue skies and tailwinds to the Bearded Nomad!
dude definitely had some great inspiration. I am glad he is moving forward best he can
Andrew is an beautiful example of what life should be, and to just how amazing the nomad community is. I wish him so much luck and maintained health and that vanlife is his best life. ❤✌
I pray this video gives him Longer life 🔥❤️🔥
He's done a great job! I am very impressed with his attitude after so much tragic change! True nomadic spirit! ❤
This man is inspirational beyond just the vanlife. His demeanor and outlook despite his health and past is just incredible and I'm profoundly humbled by his story. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I just love that man! I laughed, I cried. I absolutely Love the ingenuity of his build. Simplistic Yet Perfect! I'm subscribing to your station Sir 🤗✌
Happy Saturday weirdos!!
Such a cozy van this guy has built…I hope he does well ❤
I have two metal knees and a pacemaker. I want to live Vanlife because then I can say the world is only as small as you let it be. Wherever I can plug in my mobile monitor in my Vancamper is wherever I can live. Thank you, Andrew, for showing people this is truly possible! 🎉❤
You can definitely see who inspired that man 😅😅😅 lovely ...
I just logged in his soc media ... And i am gonna do that with my channel to ... Gonna give him a bigggggg virtual hug 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
seeing all these people with health issues really is inspirational
Blessed, hopefully many years ahead 🙏 😊
Subscribed to his channel now
Just proves “if you want it it’ll come to you”. CZcams algorithm provided the means for Chrome to come into this man’s life…
Enjoyed a look into this man’s life, subscribed.
Wow Andrew. With all that life has thrown at you I admire your strength and courage. You mentioned to depression and I have dealt with it for over 30 years. I have no family. It's just me and my two cats who mean the world to me. I'm facing a difficult financial decision as well and it's quite likely I may end up in a van myself. I have a minivan but I just don't think it would be enough space for my two cats, and their happiness and comfort is much more important to me than my own. I'm hoping we can figure it out. I wish you all the best in your journeys and life. You're a great soul and we need more people like you. It's amazing that you want to help people and I know that you already. Sending you prayers and well-wishes 🙏
You're never alone on fb. Get yourself sorted out soon as.
Morning fellas 🇺🇸
He might be short on time, but what time he's got he's enjoying it!
Wow! This is great!
I love that he has chosen to put "getting out there" before having the fanciest look.
And I also love & respect that he has made the decision to put doing something he loves first as a response to a possible health issue.
Well done! I wish you MANY, MANY years of great enjoyment!
Very cool build. With that big beard, you remind me of our dear Jeffy Bear
“Chrome” ☕️☕️☕️you don’t realize he not the only life you saved I Guarantee it🙏🏽💙
you all should subscribe...what a nice man.
Great job. Looks so cozy. Almost a copy of Chrome's van.
Maybe his van is better than Chrome's, but nice to see them side by side.
I love how people find Chromes videos by accident. I was watching bulldog videos and came across Disco and started watching him and his sidekick Chrome. I cried my eyes out when Disco died it was truly like losing a friend and I haven't stopped watching. It's awesome seeing people living their best lives no matter how tough life is, hope your channel does well Andrew, going over to give you a sub now.
This guy should have his own CZcams channel! He is interesting
He does! “Bearded Nomad van life” I just subscribed.. he’s getting close to 1k when he can become monetized.
Strong man right there. I wish you the best my friend. Hope you have a long enjoyable journey through the rest of this thing we call life. 🎉🎉🎉
A rough journey we're traveling through life😢.
Hang in there bearded Nomad.
I suffer with heart failure (left ventricular failure to be correct lol) after having 2 heart attacks and I've also recently recovered from a TIA (mini stroke) which is why I'm researching van conversions. Hopefully next year I'll be able to convert one and travel so I can tick off my bucket list items. It's surprising how something like this changes your perspective on life.
This guy is awesome
Wow his pants brought back some memories lol, I haven’t seen them in almost 10yrs! I’m from MD and used to work for a wireless telecom company (Tower16) and those pants were part of the uniform all the guys had to wear because the owner was a huge diehard Ravens fan lol… I hated wearing those pants so much bc I grew up a Miami fan lol… I wonder if there’s any connection there as I see he’s got PA tags and we had office in PA too…. crazy to see someone wearing this pants on your channel way out in VanCity !!
Made by ROTHCO , in a variety of
" camo-for-the-colorblind " mixtures.
🍂🍁Wanna hide in a pile of autumn
leaves & scare the b'jeebers out of
Trick or Treaters. Get the pants , hat ,
hoodie , T-shirts , & Backback in
orange + browns ! 🍂🎃🍁
So much nicer than those factory-built vans.
When it comes to my fault, having a new van, I’ll have to take it to one of the van conversion places. I WILL be taking my ball to the place that is been on Ancaster, Ontario. ( Near Hamilton, Ontario)
I appreciate the repurposed simple builds that are functional and practical. And doable.
I have congestive heart failure myself so I do understand
I really hope the rest of his life, no matter how long or short is a happy one xx
So nice seeing a Neighboring State representing the USA. I'm a West Virginia native. Great job with the buildout 👍😎
chrome inspired me to buy a van, and i plan on building it out for the next year to live in it full time.
What a strong man !!!!
My goodness, what a lovely man. His accent is adorable. I have subscribed and I hope he is able to achieve all his goals, he certainly has the attitude and grit to make it happen.
That’s how ya say water ,,,,correct country boy way to say it I’m with ya
Thank you Chrome for sharing this video. It brought tears to my eyes., but his story has given me so much joy and fight. This is a great story. He will accomplish his dreams.
What a wonderful story. Thank-you!
I hope he gets to experience all that he sets out to do ❤
I needed this video today...thank you
Thank you for sharing this. He is an inspiration and clearly so is Chrome.
My story the last few years is pretty much the same as his had a massive heart attack in 2019 was also told that i had lung cancer i kinda pecked away at my bus that i had got shortly before i got sick finally i am actually doing some work on my bus i hope i can get enough work done to live in it in the next few month's
You are going forward and thats all that counts
Thank you for your inspiration❣️
I love this video! Much Love Brother! I'll find you on your channel. Thank you, Chrome, for being such an awesome inspiration for others!
Hi Andrew hopefully you get this message bude I wish you all the very best with van life and hopefully the freedom it will give you.
He seems so young. I hope he enjoys his days.
What a gracious soul.
What a lovely man. His positive attitude is a breath of fresh air. To have his vision and do his build out with health issues is amazing.
Brother your story send chills up my spine. Stay blessed and I hope all your burdens lighten up. With your positive vibes I know better days are coming. One love from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤ 🇹🇹.
LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS ONE
As a native of PA, now living in NC for the past 28 years, this was great to watch! I'd love to know where you filmed this, it looks like a very PA landscape. ;) Off to find Andrew's channel. Thanks, Chrome!
swarara state park under interstate 81 bridges crossing the swarara creek was the the location
@@beardednomadvanlife6363 OK, I've been up through there years ago. I grew up in Bedford, south-central part of the state. Best wishes to you!
Not far away in northeast PA right off of I-81 Wilkes Barre PA
Hi sweet man I pray I can learn and b here for u as u walk this journey none of us r promised today please relax and find those time of rest as often as u have too.
He is one awesome dude. An honest down to Earth big hearted soul/warrior. Many Blessings to him. Inspirational 💥👍🙋♂️
Yup I will follow this dude 😃
Very ingenious fellow. I wish him well, safe travels
I like seeing the real life vans and not the glam vans. This guy took what he had and he’s making it work in all areas of his life! I hope his stress level is lower than it was and that he gets more time to spread his message! Peace!
Your Beautiful. Thank You for Sharing.
Wow what an amazing story! If he can do it I can too kind of attitude! Sending healing light Andrew, be safe.
My moms heart is failing too, for a long time…she’s 84. Joy of Living brings Abundance. 💗
Great big hugs to him❤ inspiring person
Love his story and attitude
Again, another great person! It's our hardships that push us to be happy. We are afraid of change that we don't wanna move from we do in life. It's comfortable. Sometimes, things have to fall apart for you to see what really exists out there for you. I have been very closed-minded up until very recently in my life. In fact, I am still learning that everything happens for a reason. Thank you, sir, for your inspiring words and a view of your van and your life. Sending much aloha to you, and I wish you all the best in everything you do. 🤙
What a great attitude,
What a wonderful man!
I like this guy. ❤️
Thank you for sharing,I'm in a similar situation and my goal is to head out not sure if I want 1 ton 4x4 with topper or a van yet
.
Such a positive outlook on life, Respect Sir. Like n Sub
Thanks to this video on VanCity VanLife Andrew you have just got a new subscriber
Happy travels. You deserve all the best. I'm praying for you and an earthly solution for your health and I'm praying that you have the heavenly solution teed up. ❤️
Hey Andrew, great build , I know what it is to build on a budget, great video. Safe travels Andrew looking to following your adventures.
Love your van. Awesome job in 30 days wow. Wonderful life story! You’re an inspiration!
This is better than an new rv
Ive lived in a minivan for the last five years, that one wore out and today i picked up a really nice full size van in my price range. Im a very grateful guy.
I subscribed to Mr.Beard. That’s nice of you Chrome. I also sub to your cat lady. Have a great day/weekend/life.😅😊
Happy trails!
I hope we get to follow his journey😘
I'm still pushing forward one day at a time enjoying my hobbies and life ... still working towards traveling plans once mechanical issues are fixed that arose since filming took place
I have congested heart failure and just found out that I need an aortic heart valve replacement..... every minute is precious ❤
Without a doubt this is the best video you've done this far. Done with professionalism as you explored a sensitive topic.
Don't give up. You will get a lot of support from the You Tube community. And you are in my save now. So you won't be forgotten.❤
Yep I survived heart failure I too retire 40yrs of the medical world. Van traveling with a Ford transit connect IS AMAZING.. I encourage more to unplug and really get out and see the world. I love your van simply put and I can see chrome touches.
Your a cool mutha fuga, I wish you all the best home boy
Happy trails Andrew.
I lost my cousin to heart failure. He was only 47, he was like my brother. Miss you Heath.
This man is an inspiration to those of us who face health challenges. I love that he repurposed his Dad’s desk. Plus he’s cute. I wish I were doing van life in Canada instead of the us.
