I’ve done this before . It really teaches u how to be a minimalist and survive with necessities. No rent , no address , no bills , just freedom. Teaches u a lot more than most spoiled people today !!

Learning how little you actually need is very empowering and freeing.

I loved when you said all of this is luxury. I yelled amen when you said that. Then for all the reasons you said. Yes! You are very grounded. Sending you lots of light.

You are a brave, smart, intelligent, man. I need to follow your example and get off this stressful grid of never ending bills and a cost of living that keeps going up while wages stagnate

I love living in my car by choice, l haven't felt this free since the 60's, l took so many trips and never left my neighborhood LoL

Learning so much from your channel. I do UberEats and just jumped in my car to move from MD to NC. Decided not to live with family and paying for a hotel room makes no sense since all i do is sleep in it. Since I'm in my car all day anyway I can just pull over, catch a couple of zzzz's and off to work. Will be using thr planet fitness for the shower through.

I'm considering beginning this journey in the next few months. I plan to pay down debt, start freelancing, and just free myself from a stressful lifestyle. I appreciate your mindset about challenge and discomfort. I love having a traditional living space, but in order to drastically change my life, I think discomfort is necessary right now. Great video!

It's amazing how many people are doing this now a days, I remember the tiny house movement that started around 5 years ago but now it's just many of us just living in our cars. In my case is a convertion van after divorce and losing everything, living on SSI, but it is a great sense of freedom from the messed up system and negativity in this cruel world. I'm happy and proud that there's also people like you, young people, that are doing this and struggling, who are doing it save up thinking about your future. God bless you

To me, the biggest benefit of living in your car is freedom. Free to roam like an eagle. No matter the time of day, you can go where ever you desire. Freedom from not having to slave away at yard work on some property the government can take back if you fail to pay taxes. Freedom from worry over a roof leak or someone suing you because you failed to shovel the sidewalk after a snow storm. I have looked into a Prius, live in an urban area with a full time job and spend my evenings delivering for UberEats (I LOVE to drive). Some car dwellers seek a larger living area but I prefer excellent MPG so I can spend hours per day just driving. The climate control of hybrid cars is a must, too. I do like the idea of practicing poverty. It provides a different perspective on life and I heard, don't have any research to back up my claim, that thinking about our living situation in different ways helps keep our brains active. Safe travels.

VERY well said! I'm a nurse and I live out of my 2018 Jeep Cherokee for all the same reasons! Thank you for sharing and providing such profound wisdom!

You make a lot of sense! Do what's right for yourself and ignore the negativity while working towards your goals.

I'm honestly thinking of living in my car cause I want total freedom and rent where I live is ridiculous. A studio cost $700-800 a month. Either I move to another state or live in my car. Thank you for uploading this video!

I really appreciate the videos. Makes me feel somewhat not alone I'm about 2 months into this. I'm in Wisconsin so the weather is not ideal... but it's not so bad. I have a nice comforter that keeps everything but my head warm. I'm partly doing this by choice to be alone and get out of debt. I also have a hard time to swallow my pride to ask a family member/friend to stay there. Other than getting a 200 dollar ticket it's been good. I love the part about making yourself feel uncomfortable and it making you stronger. Everyone fought me on this decision but I told them it took a lot of strength and clarity to embark on this. Tyvm for the videos. Stay safe.

First and foremost I liked your positive attitude.....second as long as you are happy and safe, who cares...let me share with you something: I know some people have 7 figure in their account, big houses, many cars....but they don’t have the blessing to go to bed and sleep ( they take pills to sleep everyday) so we are really blessed to be healthy and happy....Don’t worry about people as the French philosopher Sartre said: Hell is other people.......So do whatever you wanna do to be content and zen......Good luck bud

love your honesty and you being so up beat! you were my therapy today you made me smile survive another day love love your attitude look forward to watching more of your videos thank you for uploading your video and sharing stay safe! 💗💖

You are an intriguing person. Level headed and realistic. Respect

Ty for the video. All I have is a 2001 mustang with 175000 miles but I'm determined to get on the road. Safe travels🌷

Props to you. I had to live on my car many many times , it’s always a mean to a bigger goal , the freedom is real when you can move wherever whenever

Great video thanks for showing us, I feel weighed down by all things I have and have to upkeep it's hard work at times and I don't need much to survive so I need to downsize. Stay safe and safe travels. 🇬🇧👍🍻

you have understood LIFE , thank you for your video and good luck. (nice final minute !!)

I love that you chose this lifestyle so you can pursue your sport. Roughing it and loving it like you say prepares you for most anything that may come along. I'm an old lady. I love camping trips in my car to go fishing, insect and spider hunting and photographing and logging them into a personal field guide. When I retire soon I plan on doing that full time and selling an leaving all the material things behind. Good for you! Go grab life and love it!

Wow dude, love the explanation! You earned a new subscriber!!

What a great attitude! Best wishes to you.

Right on my brother, I fully support and understand what you are doing and furthermore I plan on going on this lifestyle myself, so thanks so much for sharing! Best wishes to you!

Thank you for sharing! I have recently had to do this too. Thank you for the encouragement

Dude im so impressed i live in my car and you gave me so many ideas

You’re so brave. God bless you and keep you safe always. I think what you are doing is super smart.

Your parents must be so proud of you. You're amazing!!

You are so dope! Glad I found your channel. I have lived out of a military vehicle in the dessert and was surprised at how I could still have peace and a level of comfort while baby wipw bathing and sleeping in freezing temps in only a sleeping bag. Being in the army at that time was far more uncomfortable than the physical conditions I just described because I felt owned however it is true that you grow stronger from uncomfortable situations. So glad you brought that up.

So true !! I’m fixing up my van for weekend dwelling. Love the idea!! Hey from Nashville !!

You are very wise. Thank you for the valuable insights.

Love this! So well said. Thank you!

Your the 1st person doing what I'm doing that I can resonate with. I " ran away from home " is what I say lol I still have access to my BFs and my old apt. But that's mostly because of the Covid that came about after you made this video! I'll have to look and see if your still doing this. I'm in Seattle. You would love it up here. I'd be afraid to be in California if you still are- Seattle is perfect for living in your car

Go to Home Depot and get some reflective you can cut them slightly larger than your windows and then just push them in at the end of the day and pop them off in the morning when you're ready to go

Thank you so much i needed to hear this as im taking the step of car living

Good job young man, it's better than nothing and living outside in the elements,god bless you.

I wish you the best, health and safety as well. I like your positive feedback towards this kind of living. 😊

Those last words at the end of the video are very empowering!! Great video!!

Inspiring! Thank you for your message!

I am ispired by you and your story Brandon 😊 and I'm an old dude just starting to grasp the enormity of all life has to offer and the work involved... I am subscribing so I can follow along ''with'' you 🎉

You give me hope.

I like your philosophy of life energy! Nice to be in Huntington Beach. I grew up there but can only afford to live in Garden Grove now and pay a lot to live here. Good for you for living the life you feel comfortable living. 🙌👍

The simplicity and honesty with which you presented this was refreshing. Thanks for sharing! You mentioned Tim Ferriss and dealing with the fear of taking risks like starting a business - are you planning on starting a business sometime in the future? Now that you're out of the real estate biz, how are you supporting yourself on the road aside from KZfaq? Looking forward to seeing where this takes you and using your tips and positive outlook in my own journey!

Very wise young man. More power to you brother.

I admire humble, peaceful people.

Good for you! I’m a pretty successful corporate person, a woman, who sold everything and lived in a van/rv then in a Prius V for a while- 7 months. My adult son was very supportive of me. I guess I raised him right. I have the ability to rent an apartment tomorrow and get a job. Rock on!

Hey Brandon! Keep pursuing what you love and I fully agree with your points you made in your video. XC buddy from the past :)

Didn't know you did that! Amazing!

I wish i had been where you are at ur age. Im 68 and i realize from watching videos like yours i could have led the more uncomplicated way. You seem to have your head together. Im still checking into going places in my car its a honda civic and it would be a real challenge with the health issues i have.

Good job! I love it dude. Good for you for doing what you gotta do

I love it very minimalist..clean Car

Hey, I really like your video and your personality!! I am living out of my car as well. Mine is a station wagon which got bit more space.

Thank you for sharing! 🙏

Beautifully said and very spot on😁

It's a great adventure. Congratulations.

Your awsome and your very kind. I like people like that.

You're amazing. Keep going.

Good on you dude, I am doing the same in my VW Golf! Great video, very informative :)

May find a prius better or ev and insulate the boot/trunk if use in cold. Fabulous video, true awakening.

You can buy a roll of Reflectix (foiled/air bubble) insulation at home depot for $25 and cut custom window covers for all your windows, including your windshield. Use paper as a template and make cut them slightly oversized so you can snug them into your window frames. You will keep the car warmer and if you put black fabric on one side it will look like your windows are tinted. The remaining Reflectix you can line your trunk with it.

Great outlook on Life.

Cool setup. I have an 07 civic. I like your simplicity . A sunroof is good for living in yr car. Trailer hitch might be a nice addition. Good job man.

Thank u for sharing bendiciones

Lov your perspective

awesome video. Huge fan! New subscriber. I live in Miami in my Toyota Prius - I chose the Prius because of Climate control. Especially in very hot, humid climates, you need to be able to sleep comfortably at night and the Prius provides that.

That’s so inspiring ..thank u!

I ma start living in my car starting next month. Kinda scared, but it's happening. I'm planning on how to do it, and where I can sleep. Thanks for uploading this. Kinda putting me at ease!

Rent is a huge rip off. Good for you.

I like your vibe ✌🏻

I have a Holden Commodore - in Australia. I think it is the Chevrolet SS in USA. It's bigger, but a nuisance with the back seat. Only a small part of the centre back folds down. I'm setting it it up to be able to live in if I have to. The way things are in the world today makes me think living in the car is a option to plan for. In many countries, buying a home is out of the question, and renting here in Australia, you can be in a queue of a hundred or much more.

Did it two weeks on a 2008 civic, traveled from Chicago to Key West Florida. Still enamored with this lifestyle... but I think it would be better to do it on a Prius. Looking for work to get a Prius. it's really not as bad as most people think. the freedom and the adventure far outweighs the drudgery of an ordinary life.

Just an idea for window coverings go to Dollar Store they have the silver looking covering buy 2-3 of them cut them to match the size of your windows they also carry Velcro and scissors and tape to cover the edges once cut. Would look pretty sharp !!

Just discovered ur channel. I love your videos👍👍👍👍

Thank you. My Honda Civic has that annoying brace thingy between the back seat and trunk. I now know I can actually sleep in my car inspite of that obstruction.

Very well said

Great video !

You're very smart!!

Maybe try some black poster board from the dollar store. Trace the windows and cut to fit. You may need two pieces for the back window taped together with black tape.

You are the best inspiration for anyone pursuing the nomad car dweller life! You articulated my same thoughts well and through. Thank you! I can't wait to start my journey next year with this. Wish me luck! Keep doing you man. Safe travels and God bless!

With your car not only would I have the access hole between the back seat and the trunk widened by a mechanic or do it yourself. But you can get a tow bar that holds a container that is off the ground that will give you a lot of extra storage space. Do it yourself about $100,to$200

Well said

great video! btw where did you purchase your sleeping mat from?

Keep making videos. You are very articulate!!!

Where did u get that mattress pad? Informative video

I found a mattress for a baby crib at Walmart. I folded down my back seats and slid the mattress right in. Im 5ft 3 inches and it goes to about my ankles. I rest my feet on the arm rest. I use window covers and clip them on those handles with those big metal clips. I got a memory foam pillow. Sleep like a baby.

I think your lifestyle choices are a sign of the freeing of our technology.....face it you wouldn’t do it if you didn’t have WiFi....times change, judgements need to change....more power to you!

It’s amazing what you’re doing! Can I ask how old you are?

You are so handsome and well put together!

I use limo tint in the back windows and cover all my windows with black sunshades. So unless someone really really looks. The windows just to be very tinted very dark. There is a tint shop around salt lake. Just look up pre cut tint salt lake City. And you can do the tint yourself. Save you a few hundred dollars.

I've lived in a 3rd world country as well. Most Americans do not realize the wealth we have. Thanks. A good video giving some sanity to our over-consumption. I'm 72. Have camped in my Prius.

Omg...I LOVE that: purposely being uncomfortable, purposely living at a poverty level. I do that everyday right now. I "live" in a studio apt, but I actually LIVE like I'm homeless (somewhat, that is). No heat, A/C, running water, plumbing, refrigeration, stove, microwave, cable, bed, washer/dryer. Its a start to prepping myself for when there is no "modern" conveniences. I believe that homeless people are the STRONGEST people, because they sleep on concrete (actually heard that from a homeless woman) and know how to survive. Someday we will ALL probably have to deal with that. Better to get ready NOW. This guy here living in his Honda Civic is so SMART and way ahead of the game.

I have did this In a pt. cruiser for almost three years, not by choice but that's the way It Is, I'm 69 years old retired on very little money but have been all over the U.S. just checking t out

I support you.

Great video. You are so me lol even down to the American eagle shirt. Thank you for sharing. I too enjoy the lifestyle of car living. I like how u put it into a better perspective. Thanks again and good luck to you.

Where do you eat? Where do you keep your food ?

I bought a $29.00 memory foam doggie bed then another$ $20.00 for a doggie pillow so my bed is so Comfy. I also put a 5ft camping container on the top of my Jeep Renegade for shoes blankets odd stuff that I have 💙

Dude, that video's gone crazy since we met! Hope you're well brother. 😊

Great video! What kind of mattress did you get?

Where is your food? How do you cook? You need to invest in window reflectix. What do you do for entertainment? I would imagine that stealth camping is impossible when you do not have good window treatment. I think you also need blankets also to make you sleeping more comfortable. I have a Honda Civic. I have not tried to sleep in it yet, but I am going to.

I have the same car you have. You didn't remove the latch that holds the back seat closed when I slept in my car I kept on hitting my face on it and that wakes you up lol. second all these videos nobody ever talked about how the windows get fogged up. Good indication that someone's in the car. if I lived in my car I'd be thinking about bringing it to a mechanic and have them make the whole to the trunk bigger it's way too small. If you don't mind me asking how do you get the money to live in a road and who's address do you use for car insurance. Nice videos good luck dude.
