Bren, thanks for sharing the info. Been trying to save money by not using the ac this year at home. It's hot, muggy/damp and when I'm in bed with the fan blowing on me unable to sleep. . . . I'm thinking what would happen if I was in a car or van trying to stay cool and get a good night's sleep. Appreciate the info and advice. 👍💛
Prolly unrelated to this video but I just read an article about Tony Delivers out in Seattle. Guy basically started his own delivery business based on the idea that when the price point is similar across the board, that the customer will pick the one with the most transparency and the most caring customer service. So, he just started doing his own thing.
I heard the fireworks but thought they were gunshots. What a world we live in where a fan would automatically think of gunshots before fireworks! Thank you for sharing your night. Your car must smell amazing with all those orders. Also, have you ever used those commercial cooling rags that you simply wet, shake three or four times and wrap them around your neck or head? They're icy! And last for a couple of hours. I just ordered a pack of four because my car a/c is out and will stay out, as it's too pricey to get fixed. I was first introduced to what was branded at the time "Snap Rags," which are the same thing. A patient I was visiting in his home brought one out, dipped it in water, squeezed out the water and snapped it a few times. He said, "Here, feel it." I did, and it was just like it came from the refrigerator. He wore them around his neck. They are very soft. Please check them out if you are not familiar with them, as there are videos that show you how they work.
Awesome tip, thanks for sharing. I also thought the sound was gunfire, as I've survived a drive-by shooting aimed at a neighbor, but the carload of perps kept shooting as they drove past. Those sounds stay in your survival toolbox. Bright blessings. 💖
Thanks, I enjoy the intentional or unintentional humor in most of you vlogs. I think you’re an innately low key funny guy. This time it was walking away from your car and being sure to bring it to our attention, at your expense. I even reviewed that part to see you walk away😊. I wonder how many people rewound to double check the walk away. When I lived in my van I used a fan much like yours with the clip and multidirectional, but it was USB powered and had several speeds. It kept me comfortable all night set on the lowest setting. I was surprised that small person fans worked so well, cooling me not the air around me. When I purchased it I tried it out in my apartment instead of turning on the AC. It worked well in both situations. Take care!
Thanks, useful tips. But you're missing the most obvious one - rolling down the windows. A lot of people have those mesh window coverings that allow you to roll down the window while still getting privacy.
Excellent video. Really gonna check out your channel some more. Looks like you have plenty of room in the back of your car. What is it, a Subaru? Enough room to not have to do any extravagant build out for someone 6' tall? Youve probably mentioned all this in other videos. This lifestyle intrigues me...FREEDOM!!!
@@brenpgrace im seriously gonna give this lifestyle a shot. Been needing a change since i got sober about 4 1/2 years ago...yes, im still a procrastinator!!! Lol! Best of luck to you on your journey.and with your recovery. It truly is a much better way of life!!! Think i'm gonna binge watch some of your old videos today!
The fireworks people love to set off around the 4th! I don't get it either. It was such a thing wherever I lived in RI and MA, but not so much that I've seen out west. Huh. Crazy.
I guess I've officially become a grouchy old "get off my lawn" person, but I absolutely flipping HATE fireworks. They scare my dog. My Uncle used to not say a word about it but you could tell he was upset all evening on the 4th of July. Just really quiet and nervous. He was a Vietnam vet. Go watch your town's display, but stop making me worry one will land on my roof, stop terrorizing the neighborhood animals, and really stop making any Veteran EVER feel one moment of being uncomfortable. And get off my lawn.
Oh, man. I hear you. Here in Florida, the fireworks in the neighborhood starts two-weeks before and continues until a week or two after the holiday. I’m working on getting back on the road with my service/assistance dog. Take care. ❤️😊Bree & Blue🦮❤️
Thanks for explaining how you stay cool at night. What about during the day time in summer? I assume you are usually working but if it happens to be a day off? Do you try to stay out of the car until evening? I agree with you that i prefer winter as well.
One of these days can we get a fuel cost analysis of one week's worth of working/living in the summer time (including idling time)? (Can use it for a comparison of similar work/life in winter once winter comes for a future video)
Do you ever get confused when working all 3 gigs at 1 time? And uf you have to pick up a dd order, plus an uber eats order how do you decide which order to take first? Thanks.
It’s just a matter of operating only one app at a time during a delivery and turning the others off. I don’t usually take two offers from two companies at once, that is risky, but if I do, the mileage Hass to be low on at least one of them so that I can move onto the next fast. Hope that helps.
For the love of God, please get a USB or 12v fan instead of that mains powered fan. You're losing power through the inverter, and those fans have AC motors in them and are not efficient.
@brenpgrace Unless it has a DC motor in it and equivalent inverter, it is not efficient at all. It likely has an induction motor which are very inefficient, plus the fact that your power bank's inverter on its own is giving you 5% losses. You might even get double the runtime if you switch to a 12v fan. Check the wattage printed on the fan you're using and compare it to some 12v fans and you'll see.

Much appreciated Chuck, thanks! Good thing summer is only 3 months long.
I have a portable air conditioner in my bed room ,keeps me cool.In a mini van they have AC in the back with climate controlls also in the back.

Watching this and getting ready for a summer of mini road trips and car camp nights! ✌️
Have fun!
Great videos! I've enjoyed all of your insight on everything.
I feel bad for all those McDonald’s employees, that’s crazy they need to fix the Ac.

I'm staying cool in the AC watching you . Stay cool 😎
The walk off to just return to the car. That's all right you still looked cool as hell when you did it. 😂
Yellow bracelet... Congrats! ✌❤
We rockin the blue now!!!
I hand sewed cooling towels together to make a "sheet" , get it wet, strip down. Really cools you off.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
I can see Bren stripped down and then getting that dreaded knock😂🤣😂
Great tips, thank you for the video
Thanks, Bren. Exactly the info I needed. Keep doing exactly what you're doing. Bright blessings. 💖

Keen observation 😂 I’m a bit of a goof alright!
Good work brother keep it up
Thanks!
I enjoyed your video. Thank you.👍😊
Well done for getting a grip on your life. All the best going forward.😊
Thank you!! 😊
Cool video as usual. Love how you roll.
Digging the new Subie too :)
How are you doing Bren? Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks, useful tips. But you're missing the most obvious one - rolling down the windows. A lot of people have those mesh window coverings that allow you to roll down the window while still getting privacy.
Haven’t needed those yet. Maybe if I lived down south. I’m a northern car dweller feller!
🌞🌞
You are hilarious ❤❤❤
I sometimes sleep on a small damp towel when it's hot. It cools you down quick and I end up removing the towel after a few min.

Thank you, I drive a Subaru outback. Plenty of room.

this is a good one
Thanks REZ!
Try a USB fan with it's own battery. Might not Ake it all nite but u can still plug it into the jackery
I’ve been saying that about fireworks for 40 years!!! 😂😂
Hear Bren say Jersey Mike's is his fave!!!
The fireworks people love to set off around the 4th! I don't get it either. It was such a thing wherever I lived in RI and MA, but not so much that I've seen out west. Huh. Crazy.
If you can try to gain altitude 100m in height give your +- -1C in temperature and most of the time you get a great view :)
Good tips

I drive a hybrid car so I just idle my car all day all night
TimeUSB sells a DC Outlet paired with their 100ah Lithium Battery you could really save time and money cooling your van
Thanks for explaining how you stay cool at night. What about during the day time in summer? I assume you are usually working but if it happens to be a day off? Do you try to stay out of the car until evening? I agree with you that i prefer winter as well.
I spend time in the cafés, the gym or the library
@@brenpgrace thanks ninjabren
If I ever had to cut back on subscriptions, SXM wouldn't be one of them lol can't ever go back to regular radio again
4:31 the top button was the doorbell the bottom one was the explosion button
Unfortunately the owner of that McDonald’s may not have the ready cash to replace ac. Those roof ac units are brutal in cost.
Carching up 🎉on older vids ❤ hoping it helps
👍
You are da man! Great energy! How did u mount that tv and did u build that bed ?
It’s an iPad on gooseneck iPad holder. Bed is a no build
One of these days can we get a fuel cost analysis of one week's worth of working/living in the summer time (including idling time)? (Can use it for a comparison of similar work/life in winter once winter comes for a future video)
Great suggestion!
✌️🌞🌛
hey im really curious if u open any of the windows a lil bit ever ???
Yes. Sometimes
❤😊
Do you ever get confused when working all 3 gigs at 1 time? And uf you have to pick up a dd order, plus an uber eats order how do you decide which order to take first? Thanks.
It’s just a matter of operating only one app at a time during a delivery and turning the others off. I don’t usually take two offers from two companies at once, that is risky, but if I do, the mileage Hass to be low on at least one of them so that I can move onto the next fast. Hope that helps.
Are you getting netflix and internet through your phone?
Yes
Watch Dave Chapelle next time you're depressed. Best anti-depressant ever!!!!
Do you spend alot on fuel?
In comparison to your earnings?
I have found that I spend 10% of my total earnings on fuel. For example if I make $200 - I back out $20 for fuel.
For the love of God, please get a USB or 12v fan instead of that mains powered fan. You're losing power through the inverter, and those fans have AC motors in them and are not efficient.
This fan does not take up much power. It works for me.
@brenpgrace Unless it has a DC motor in it and equivalent inverter, it is not efficient at all. It likely has an induction motor which are very inefficient, plus the fact that your power bank's inverter on its own is giving you 5% losses.

Where can I sending you thing.
What will happen to the mcdonalds order that cant be delivered?
I forget what happened in this video lol. It will likely be picked up by another driver.
Aren’t you in Rhode Island? What is hot to you? 73°?
RI girl here… it gets pretty hot in the summer.
😂so do u make 200 x 7 days a week(1,400.00?). Or do u take 1 day off a week? And where did u work before Grub Hub?
I typically have a daily minimum of $150 a day. These days I don’t work full-time. I worked in the service industry before the gig economy.
Why are you fasting?
I just enjoy the benefits of fasting. 🤷♂️
You know those employees are sweating in the food. Gross
GM Bren p
Hey!
🤍
🙏🙏 (helping the channel) 🤭🤭🤭 do not reply 🌞
Language....please.
no AC...workers should always be in a union. bosses dont care will work you till you drop and get a new worker. gig workers need a union too
How do you get all those Grubhub orders ?Grubhub is slow for me .
Grubhub is pretty decent in my market, depends on where you are.
