Thanks!
Thank you, much appreciated! 👊
Can you provide an explanation for the stuffed toy? It must have a special meaning? Or use?
Enjoyed your video. I'm fascinated by car living - much more stealth than a van. I use my suv for car camping. I enjoy the challenge of making a small space a home away from home. I just bought a cargo carrier that fits in the back hitch of my suv. Can't wait to get on the road again. Oh. by the way - I'm 73 years old - which goes to show car camping is do-able and enjoyable at any age.

That is something I really admire you for staying sober.
Bro you’re a blessings. I’m a truck driver and live in my semi and sometimes I feel bad about it because of what society says stability is thank you bro for the videos it gives me encouragement I’m a new subscriber by the way!!
I lived in my van for nine months and I really worked on my mindset relative to what society has to say about other people’s lives. I’ve concluded that no one in our society is in a position to judge anyone else. Not one of us is perfect, or lives a perfect life. If we each committed to tend to our own affairs, we have more that a full time undertaking. You do you😊 and let others do themselves.
@@gavinsnanathank you sooooooo much for sharing this with me and for these beautiful words of encouragement like I literally appreciate it!!! I needed it so much!!
Don't you feel bad do what works for you!!
@@everydaywithmarciewhitttamen! Thank you!!
Louise Penny - love her books - while home is west of Toronto love discovering parts of rural Quebec / Quebec City am not familiar with - Louise’s take on whodunit very Canadian - give it another try maybe while enjoying a Tim Horton’s coffee 🇨🇦🙏
Walmart sells a rechargeable heated blanket... it's a game changer
usb rechargeable or walloutlet?
That sounds really neat.
In my home in the winter so I don't have to use the AC heat as it's electric I cover myself with a Sherpa blanket and I will be moving into a vehicle in the fall and I have used a small Sherpa blanket when staying overnight in parking at casinos. The bigger Sherpa blanket will wrap around better for winter nights.
Thanks for sharing this and I’ll say a prayer for your sobriety. It’s not at all easy and know that people are wishing you strength and health.
63 yr old female getting ready to retire with a Subaru Outback and trying to figure out how I can make that work, very doable looking at your video. Thanks for the grand tour. That is exactly what I needed to see and you’re very organized compared to others.
He doesn’t have a toilet and he doesn’t have a cat. A Subaru is easier than a Rav. Rav seats do not fold flat. I bought a Rav for reliability so have a bump and a slope in the bed. It was uncomfortable to sleep in. I’m 70 and it was really hard to maneuver inside with the three drawer plastic chest of drawers. I’m replacing them with transparent bags that I can grab and easily move out of the way or get things out of. I got bruised on the hard storage. I see he took out the bottom drawer, using containers instead which is a good idea especially to store things that you aren’t going to use all the time. I couldn’t pull the bottom drawer out because the bed was in the way.
Here is my set up: My cat carrier and litter box pretty well took up the front passenger side of the car. I have both my back seats folded down. Toilet on the floor behind the drivers seat. Bed behind the passenger seat. Clean Cat litter on the back passenger floor under the top of the bed. Clothes on top of that. Clean in a duffle bag and dirty in a laundry bag. These things support the top of the bed. Something to put on my feet by the side of the door. I have a table that goes between the wheel wells and up over the bottom of the bed over my feet down by the hatch.. It has extendable legs for more height when I take it out for my kitchen. In the car it gives more storage. I put my pantry on top of it and my Jackery and collapsed camp chair and tie them all down. Then I can still put things under the table also when I’m driving. (The table also folds up). Almost all my other things were in the plastic chest of drawers like in the video.
I’m thinking of getting a van but don’t know for sure since gas is so expensive. It would be so much easier and neater with a van. I almost bought a Subaru but they didn’t have a used one that was 2020 or younger. I had a Toyota Tercel before and had excellent luck with it so that’s why I got the Rav 4. But I do envy the fold flat seats of the Subaru.
Oh my toilet is inside at night and outside in the privacy tent in the daytime. Works well for me except maneuvering to get to it in the car, but probably will be easier next time with the bags.
I’m thinking of car living. I’ve been doing research and it seems everything I find was Van living. I own a 2016 outback and was trying to figure out how I could actually live and work out of it without buying a van. Thank you so much for this tour. You provided me with some inside full no need to get rid of my seats ideas. Great video.
Best of luck!
It's really simple. start with the basic, be minimalist as much as possible, save all your cash and figure out as you go. there are a lot of car living in here in youtube. a lot of these van lifers mostly started as car living so watch their old videos.
My son has a TMNT collection too. He has more space so his collection is a little bigger than yours but it’s still nice to see your passion.
I love your set up. It’s always a reminder that we need so little in life. I have converted my Grand Caravan and I can’t wait to be on the road!!
May the Lord our God keep you safe wherever you are. 🙏🏻🕊️❤️
You are so resilient, you've got this. Things will improve for you, I just know it. Steve Harvey used to live in his car, and look at him now. Staying sober one day at a time. Take care xx
I am not full time, but I travel a couple of times a year for 2 or 3 months each time. I am in a Pontiac Vibe with a small dog as my travel companion! Much smaller than your set up, but it works for me. I got some good ideas from your video to make my system work a little better. Thank you!
Excellent, glad it helped!
Wow nice sweet ride
.
I also have a Pontiac Vibe! Any pics of your setup?
Love watching your video!!! Very informative
I am also planning on small monthly travels in my 2006 Pontiac vibe with my puppy as well!
I lived in a Rav4 for 3 months in the mountains of Arizona. I loved it. Miss those days
Thank you for showing us. I am going to be living in my car soon so I thank you for showing how you store things.
I will be living in a van I just was able to purchase at a cheap price. Needs lots of work, but it's a place to live since I'm homeless, since i lost my home because of the shutdown, , with multiple disabling conditions.
No money, time, nor health to do a build.
I love these no build videos
I love it! The fact that it’s not even “built” for living it’s perfectly livable! It just makes sense! Thanks for sharing as always ❤
No problemo!
You are very organized. I'm sure that helps in making your days and nights go smoothly. It's very impressive and a great motivation for me to set some goals to be more organized in my daily life. God Bless!
ThaNk you!
I love your special touches- the LED candles and the fireplace!!! Sweet!
Super cozy looking evening set up. Its like a warm, inviting lounge🙌🏾 love the digital fireplace addition
THATS A GOOD SETUP FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR LIVING IN YOUR CAR. 😊
And congrats on your sobriety!!! (36 years on my end!
Great setup. The plastic storage boxes definitely helps keep things organised in a no-build build like this!
Bro is winning in life
how?
@@Crug0 ask your mother fool
Kelp watching your show over and over. Never getting old!
Thank you for taking the time to show us your set up. It's really cool! Another idea is to get a small esky to put your milk, cheese etc in. You could store that behind the drivers seat. God bless
I have a 2024 Outback, but I cannot imagine living in it. You are tougher than me brother. Enjoyed the video.
Your set up is awesome! What a great video! Thanks for sharing! Blessings, brother!
Super loved this video! I reckon you could do some how to videos:
How to solve the toilet issue
How to stay clean
How to stay warm
How to stay safe
How to keep mentally healthy
How to keep fit living in your car
How to solve the no fridge issues
Maybe also another video of how to see living in a car more positively (for those who didn't want to or were forced into it) and maybe even ways of connecting with other car lifers.
What I'd love to see is some collab with other car lifers like you, Bren who sort of had to live in their car to get ahead on debt etc). Maybe like a "Chillin' with Bren" video where you just get to know these people and kind of film it as "fly on the wall" style.
Glad you're doing well, my man!❤🐢🐢🐢🐢
Excellent ideas, thank you!
The bathroom situation is what I wondered about.
@@brenpgrace Hi, l'm new here April 28, 2024....what's your email or contact information please ❓ Thank you

Bren,

You and Jake McCollum have been one of my inspirations and courage to follow this lifestyle for the last 11 months!!!
I love your videos!!!
God bless you and Jake McCollum!!
Thank you thank you!!
Thank you! Jake is one of my inspirations, so it’s really cool to hear you say my name and his in the same sentence. God bless!
Thanks for the advice! I got a lot of good ideas, and enjoyed seeing your set up. Happy trails!
The fireplace is cool
Wow, thats so impressive, thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Agreed- gotta have oranges. 🍊 Thanks for the time you put into your videos! ❤
Thanks for watching!
So cool , thought I was the only one into living in Subarus and collecting TMNT .
Amazing and inspiring setup, thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏
Very good. Neat and organized 😊
Glad this is working for you! Stay cozy! ❤️
Something good will come your way. I wish you the best.
Excellent set up!
Thank you for the tour. Like your setup very comfy and cozy. Looks like you've figured it all out. Keep up the good work.
Great minimalist approach. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Looks very cozy & well organized. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
Thanks for watching!
That is a very comfy and functional setup. I have always been interested in small, comfortable places. They are just so cozy and safe feeling.
I was interested in Vanlife/car life, and your video gave me lots of great ideas and inspiration! Thank you so much!
Great video. Very creative and organized. Thanks for the tour! :)
You are super organized.
Impressive, got some good tips for car camping 😊
This was awesome, thanks for sharing. I one day will be in my car getting to kno places in my own back yard which is the USA.
Thanks for sharing your setup.
You bet
New to your channel and just subbed. Looks like a solid setup to me. And after tons of videos like this for years, you still managed to give me a few ideas.
Great job 👏🏼
Great tour you are organized 😊
What great ideas! I don’t live in my car but after watching this it looks fun!
Glad you liked it!!
I plan on doing this in my outback as soon as it is paid off. I tow a teardrop camper with my outback for camping close to home but if I go for a long distance camping trip I have a 8 by 8 foot tent that hooks over the back of my car and it adds a lot of room on it.
Looks great,
You have some gery good ideas in your set up. The little LED candle lights, the little fireplace, and the fact you don't waste space with bins and bags in your foot wells - you actually use them as containers themselves. You are very organized and your home on wheels looks very cozy. Nice job! Oh, and the TMNTs - gotta love 'em!
Living and working out of your car! That Subaru is like your exoskeleton.
Enjoying this channel sir, keep up the good work🙏🏽
Thanks 👍
Loving the video. I never charged the jackery with the car before I started to watch you a few months ago. Thank you ❤️. Great video you have everything you need.
Thanks, Bren!
You bet!
Very nice setup 😊 Well done..
Much better to wrap the reflectix with black felt (lessens glare) it's also less seen when the window covers are directly against the windows snuggly. The felt can also make them more snug fitting and stay in place. Can always add small magnets as well that terms to hook well to the steel of the door frame.
I made my relectixs so well people just thought it was heavy tinting 😅
I also did some with matt black spray paint but i find after awhile it'll start to chip and scratch on the reflectix.
Magnets and black felt can easily be found cheaply even at the dollar store as well
That's great. I love your setup; it is very clean and neat.
Thank you!
Bren , i feel for you, and hope your channel will grow like over 1M subscribers!
Awesome set up
Awesome 👏🏼
That’s pretty awesome.
Wonderful setup!
Thank you!
Nice setup! Best wishes.
Get a toothbrush cover please lol. It just sitting there out in the open next to your cutting board.
On it!
I do the same in Maine with my 2023 Rav4, I love it. Keep it up bro. 👏
Thanks! Will do!
Wow! Very organized and well thought out. You do a great job of optimizing small space living. Nice job!
Thank you!
Amazing tour, thank you :)
Any time!
Very nice looking 🚗 car and well organized🎉 have a good day on purpose🎉
New to your channel. Great setup it's amazing how much thoughtout useful things you got all sorted in one car.
Wow, very cool! This is my first time on your channel ☺️
I love how organized you are and how well you make use of every nook and cranny. Everything has its place 😀
Thanks for the grand tour :)
Great video
Hi Bren, awesome to see the setup in the new Subaru. Appreciate you sharing the no build living and organization of your stuff. 🟢
I loved the cosiness very much
Cool set-up brother!
I know it must not be at all times but you make car living look effortless.
Love seeing other Subaru Outback car camping setups! I've probably done so many different setups before finally settling on the one I have now. I took out my passenger seat and it was a game changer. 👍
Right on!
Nice car, Subaru are fantastic scars!
Greetings from Argentina, i loved the way u made some kind of curtains to get privacy, it gave me such a memory of my childhood where i loved to cover the windows of the car so no one could see me
Very cool 👍🏾
Michelangelo and spinach officially makes you RULER of the planet ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going to do this soon I was lucky enough to save enough over the last few years. I purchased a 2024 rav4 xle in January with cash . Going to start living in it next year
Great video. You got a nice setup
Thanks!
Cozy homebase!
Great set up.
Glad you think so!
I just subscribed. I've watched a few of your videos and enjoyed them. I'm a cargo van expeditor living in my van most days. I've got a trade off between the weight of my stuff and the weight of potential cargo I can haul.
Amazing…I could not imagine living in my Outback but, you have done an amazing job of making it work for you !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice little setup, stay safe :)
Will do, thanks for watching!
What a great setup you have. New subscriber and I am enjoying your videos.
Great video, very informative.
Glad it helped, thanks!
cleanest and well organized lived in car I've ever seen. well done
Wow, thanks!
