- In today’s video I take you with me through a full day of self-care, including going to the gym, doing the laundry, cleaning my car inside and out and treating myself to some dinner at Cracker Barrel. The plan was to sleep over there, but there was a mysterious person in the parking lot. Will I stay or will I go? Watch and see!

Hey Bren! I would usually never comment on videos, but I really felt compelled to add this. At first when I started watching your videos, I thought it was sad that you lived in your car. I can't lie, I thought it was ridiculous.
However, watching your videos over a longer period of time has shown me a different side of your experience. Your mental fortitude and resilience is in full display in all of your videos. I know that I wouldn't have the mental strength to be able to rebound like you have. You leave me inspired every time you post a video.
From being a critic to a fan, every day you continue to inspire with your fortitude, resilience, and general upbeat attitude.
Wow. That means a lot. I appreciate your perspective and your honesty. Thank you!
Salut et bonjour Ben je suis nouvelle abonné votre vidéo m à touché et je vous souhaite que d ici la fin de l année vous reprendrez une maison ou apoart et que vous soyez heureux votre courage et votre mentale va vous aider à vous en sortir un grand salut de BELGIQUE ET JE ME SUIS VITE ABONNEE COOL VOS VIDÉOS ET MERCI😊😊❤❤❤❤
Agree
Oh Bren I was a little worried on that guy at Cracker Barrel - and you notice him which is good - cos you don't know if was scoping out other vehicles or just chilling all day? Only thing I notice when you start to put your window pads is that you don't cover your windshield? So far nothing has happen but having someone like the guy at Cracker Barrel - you never know if there a person scoping out vehicles walking by and looking in thru the windshield? So a suggestion - have your front windshield cover you know like a sun shade to cover the front - just don't want anything to happen to you - your a cool guy - I like that about you. 😊 be safe.
So smart to do the living in your car. Genius
This is quickly becoming my favorite CZcams channel. Humble, hardworking, honest person documenting their journey.
I appreciate that!
I just discovered your channel about couple of months ago and you’re now my very favorite CZcams channel❤️.
big facts dude Is so cool n down to earth
I absolutely agree with you 😅🎉❤
This dude is a true survivor. Proves you don't need a house/apartment to survive
The guy seem very antisocial and a little bit not there.
@@lifeofrichardhe seems cool as hell
He's seems cool, nothing wrong with being anti social some people just like being a loner, these days you got to be careful who you socialize with it's alot of backstabbing and crazy people out here these days. Bren spends time with his son 😊. He goes around his sister sometimes have lunch.
@@lifeofrichardNot everyone likes to be or needs to be around people all the time. Some people aren’t needy and can do things on their own. Stop judging someone you know nothing about.
@@lifeofrichard being sociable can get you F d up. I ain't lying.
I know Ben hasn’t posted in a while. In the meantime let’s continue binge watching all his prior videos to show our support for his channel so that he continues receiving revenue! Ben, if you read this we got your back! We love you man! Don’t give up ❤️
I love this suggestion! I did binge watch during the time. It’s great to know that there are so many people that truly care about and support Bren. Bottom line he’s so easy to care about. It’s his authenticity, unique sense of humor, work ethic, determination, honesty…a real inspiration and example of how it looks to be a good person. I wish there were more people in our world.
Smart move to steer clear of random people hanging out in parking lots…..
❤️🌞🙏
Literally one of my favorite carlifers so lighthearted and funny no fake and extra bs i love youtubers who are realistic and not putting on a whole production
Same. I like real youtubers
Fellow car sleeper here. I had a great day today. Rare Saturday but had a lumber delivery and worked a couple hours. Then I went to wafflehouse for breakfast and then to the PF. I finally upgraded to the black card and decided to try out the massage chair and hydro massage. Took a shower. Washed my car then took a long walk along the river downtown and had a cup of coffee in one of those hipster coffee houses. Came back and just finished watching "King of New York". This life has its moments sometimes but still loving it for what it allows me to do and save.
Its nice to see you eating a proper meat and two veg dinner. Keep safe, keep warm .
Hey Bren! As a fellow alcoholic in recovery(2 years and counting!) , thank you for your great videos. They are incredibly soothing and entertaining. You keep it real. Keep up the great work!
Yesss 🙌🏾 ❤😅
I got so much joy watching you do a dance while enjoying those biscuits. So smart to amend your plans when something is giving you pause. Keep safe Bren!!!
Uh oh ... escaped orange!!! One day I got in my car and was hit in the face by the most noxious smell --- I couldn't figure out what it was. After a lot of searching, I found a large stalk of broccoli that had escaped a shopping bag a week before. It had rolled under one of the seats and while it wasn't moldy or soupy, it was pretty wilted and smelled like death! LOL
Oh yeah that gross!
I luv the “little boy” in you. 🤗🫶🏻
From my limited experience, the reason some places object to car campers is they are concerned about people relieving themselves, putting up a tent, and also people setting up cooking facilities outside the vehicle. When you have all of those on-board, it's not such an issue.
Hey Bren 😊 LOVE THE SOUND OF THE RAIN!!!
You inspire me to keep my place clean and organized every time I see one of your videos. I also started folding my laundry like you do yours! Saves so much space and the clothes don’t wrinkle like they used to. Thank you!!
That is awesome!
Bren, just wanted to let you know that we are expecting a new video soon.😊. You're our likeable go to guy about turning a bad situation into a success story. Motivational video gives us all strength and hope.
Love the sound of rain!!! Gut instinct….safety first
I think it says a lot about you that so many people, including my husband and I, enjoy hanging out with you during laundry and chores. You’re enjoyable. ❤ And, gosh, the early days of That show… good times. I always liked Hershel. Anyway, thanks for the video! ❤
Bren
Thinking of you. May you know your accepted and cared about on your channel. Keep use posted.
Love the gravy dance!!😄
"I'm just kidding I have no idea who he is" 😂
That took me out😂
Bren, (aka. My honorary Asain Brotha), everytime I watch your vids I realize how much of a lazy MF I am. You get so much done in one day and with such discipline. I used to be a spoiled guy who's parents gave him everything and one day I woke up and worked for a living. I literally wear a blue collar for a living and I can tell you how much happier I am. I couldn't imagine myself stuck at a desk doing what I got a degree for. One thing your videos remind of is how blessed I am to enjoy things that so called well to do people take for granted. To those people, a Jersey Mike's sandwich is just a cheap quick meal to hold them over for a fancy dinner . While people like us savor every bite. Keep up that disapline and constructiveness! I know you definitely are destined for bigger things! Oh, and don't stop playing with those action figures. I'm over 50 and I still pull out the star wars toys from time to time! Can't wait to see your future plans to make sight seeing vids when you eventually get your place. 👍
Thank you so much my Asian brother! 🙇♂️
I love that you are aware of your surroundings, I love that you are better safe than sorry!!
Yes, another Bren video! I was waiting for this.
If you want to feel super fresh at night throw your sleeping bag in the wash and dryer a couple of times per year.
the rain sound😊
Who knew that a video from inside the car wash could actually be entertaining?!
Who knew, eh? 😁
By the way, that was me chilling at Cracker Barrel! Kidding! 😂 Great video!!!
Nothing is better than a clean car!
Can't beat Cracker Barrel. I will have to say this is a perfect video. Entertaining, natural, informative, REAL. good job! You're a natural .
I love their Meatloaf
I just realized you embody “accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, don’t mess around with Mr. In between “‼️Thanks for that🍿
Hi Bren, really enjoyed this video, you are just so nice, glad to see your channel is growing !
I love these vlogs that you do. The background music, the voiceovers, your sense of humor, and your respectful demeanor toward the people and world around you. Always very calming and inspiring! 😊
Glad you like them!
I'm not as clean as I'd like to be, got a swift wash membership ($10 month) and my daughter and I really cleaned the car, the joy was amazing, every two weeks we have a sushi-clean car date!! Thanks for your videos!!
that care cleaning facility is great. in my childhood we have our won vacuum machine that heavy one. save the time and space
The random happy dances are contagious! Made the start of my day better. 😁
I'm glad!
I find doing laundry, cleaning my car and home very therapeutic. My friends always say my house smells like fresh laundry. I open the hatch of my SUV and this man asked what I use to make my car smell so good 😊
Bren! don't bounce when you stretch, it actually can actually contribute to muscle tightness. you should hold a stretch, i usually count to 15 twice in my head :P
Thank you for letting me know. I will consider that tomorrow at the gym!
My dude, your superpower is punching that Capri Sun in one go.
G.m. i just love how well organized that you are.. you are doing your body so so good with your workouts..
This bought me back to Mr Rogers when you was in the laundry mat with the music " would you be my neighbor"....Another good video
Was thinking the same with the music! ❤❤❤❤
@@beckyraver7959 love it 😂
I am happy to say that I get a lot of Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers comparisons 😄
I have really enjoyed your videos and your comitment to God and sobriety. He will not fail you. You have not made excuses for your past but you are no longer a prisoner of your past either. Much respect. Be blessed.
I appreciate that
Good morning! Great to see you. Have a marvelous day. 🌷
Glad it was just nice rain and no high winds or hail. Have a great day!
Hi Bren. I have been watching your channel for awhile now. 1st video was probably your infamous "Snow Day Deliveries" that earned you a lot of subscribers. Your positive growth and overcoming some difficult personal challenges is awesome to watch. Congrats on CZcams earnings and making big inroads on becoming financially stable. I know your son is so proud of his hard-working dad! Cracker Barrel was my husband and l and our two daughters' favorite place to eat down home country fixin's. There are a lot of sweet memories of stopping at one off the interstate on family vacations or eating at one in our hometown for Thanksgiving or anytime. The girls loved their famous peg game, checkerboards and cozy fireplaces. Your meal looked delicious and those mouth-watering buttermilk biscuits do make you want to kick up your heels. I love a clean vehicle although my currect car has been neglected since l am older and don't take it to the car wash as often as l should. But thru the years, l have washed and detail cleaned a Chevy Conversion van with a hightop roof (even climbed up the ladder and scrubbed said rooftop with a long handle brush) and a 4 dr. F-150 truck and sedan cars and jeep. Next time l will tell you my Starbucks story. There is a Dunkin Donuts near my church but it has a low rating and receives bad reviews so l don't go there which is a shame since it is cheaper than Starbucks. Shucks, every place to buy coffee is cheaper than Starbucks! Have a blessed day! God Bless!
Sometimes gas stations have good coffee at a great price! Thank you for viewing my videos
Glad to see you are doing well. Stay safe btw I also love the Walking Dead
Good idea to have this type video sometimes. Very calming but you are so real, you make me chuckle with your comments. Admire your discipline. " like a machine". Lol. You're so funny. Tell the boys this grandmother said to be good. I'm watching them! 😉
I love the background music and the tone of this video…reminds me of film noir. Great job
Here we go, one more time, every body feeling fine here we go now, here here here we go nsync has got the flow. Here we go one more time everybody's feeling fine.😂
wow, those subs are climbing SO fast. I was here when it was less than 3k (not so long ago.) Congrats on 24.5k subs! I met a homeless couple having so much trouble finding an apt because they did not have the upfront $ they all require, so they were in their car. I told them about you/your channel and the extra cash you told us you were able to make having a channel and sent them a link. I hope they are watching. (Hi Tracy!) : )
I love rain - and with it going while you’re in your cozy car setup is awesome!
Hey i commemted yesterday to teach us to fold clothes, glad u did and so fast , really appreciate it man, u r man with a golden heart
That was total coincidence! 😄
On top of my pillow in back of the lounge….I lost my poor orange peel….🤣
I actually know that guy from the laundromat. His name is Pete.
Very alert to his surroundings. It makes me look at things more closely out and about
It’s good to be alert!
@@brenpgrace absolutely. Keep going Bren🌻
I am currently doing a 30day hard challenge where I have certain things I am staying consistent with good nutrition, selfcare, personal development, exercise, spiritual, getting up 30minutes earlier every day, and journaling! I have a group of about 15 people who are doing it with me and we are having a lot of fun together staying accountable in the group! Thanks for being so inspiring
All of that sounds beneficial! All the best, thank you for watching!
Bren! Fellow Rhody! would love to do a car eating video if youre down! Meal on me! let me know brother! Cheers!
I'm glad you trusted your gut with that guy. "I'm gonna say yum a lot..." 🤣
Yum!!!
I admit I use way too many paper towels 🤦♀️. The roast beef is the reason I go to Cracker Barrel, it’s always a hit❤
“Vacuuming the backseat actually the living room”😂
I mean technically… 😂
I’m sorry but my inner 12 year old guffawed (while eating overnight oats) when you said you were hoping to rub the Cracker Barrel manager “the right way”…😆😂
Cracker Barrel biscuits are everything❤
Good call Bren, gotta trust your gut.
Keep them videos coming my man, you are growing FAST
Thanks
Thank you for the support. Greatly appreciated!
You are my favorite car lifer! I look forward to every video. I’m proud of how far you have come in sobriety. And it looks like you got a haircut! Lookin good Bren 👍
I appreciate that!
"Don't we all?" 😂💀❤ Bren makes me smile so much!!!
Fantastic work. You are a natural film maker!
Wow, thank you!
Getting yourself a flask and filling it with hot water you can make your own coffee, this is a big saver, as coffee can cost depending on how much you drink. 😊
Great tip!
I really like the new video.Very nice car and very spacious . You definitely keep everything nice.
in corona pandemic and generally in my part of world we do try to help those people which you often not found bagging but surely in need . in west people, what i learn are to judgmental and live a life on a very thine line, socially philosophically and emotionally . you know there are 10 time more crime unlawfulness in my society. if some thing went wrong people hesitate to call a police because they would not want to indulge into a worst situation. so have a chat , offer some thing. most off all be safe . i love that life a peace of time with containment
Your videos are very relaxing and pleasing to watch!
Glad you like them!
I’ve been watching you since before you hit it big on CZcams! I’m an OG Brenster . Give me a shout out Bren!!!
I appreciate you!
LOL @ Go-cart 🤣 🤣🤣
I don't know what storage units cost around you, but I found a climate controlled 5x5 unit for around $20 per month. Seems like a good option for storing offseason items and any overflow.
That’s hard to believe!
Where are you and link to the storage unit please? This is highly unbelievable.
Wish you well, take care of yourself
Okay, you've motivated me. I'm going to vacuum mine out on Saturday.
Watching this Sunday morning. Great way to start my day. By the way you are looking great. ❤ From Florida
Oh thank you!
Great job on the video. Love the voice over it brings content to us keep them coming see you Sunday
Thank you! Will do!
Hi 👋 Bren love your videos, they are so relaxing for me. I'm presently working towards being a vanlifer, I've been downsizing and getting rid of a lot. My only thing now is I have a 16 year old dog and have concerns of keeping her comfortable. Watching your videos help with ideas for when I do. I can't wait I want to travel. Glad you decided not to stay that guy was sketchy.
Thank you, just make sure that dog is comfortable and it’s golden years and do your research! All the best
Dig the music 🎼!
Great video from the UK 🇬🇧
Bren good vibe good show there man I also in recovery 🙏 Aug 25 will be 39 years clean man I like you came up the same story started young but we finally got the ship heading in the right direction man one day at a time and just keep on keeping on .TC
Am I the only one who watches like Bren is one of my homies I check up on to see how he's doing 😂?
👊my dude, thanks.
Yep OCD on the socks lol. Never seen that method before
Hey Bren! Future episode suggestion: Visualize and walk us through your plan for handling a hospitalization scenario, perhaps an unplanned orthopedic surgery, solo carlife style. It's becoming a real issue with so many carlifers out there, and everyone's needs and ways of doing things are different. I know you practice good prevention (safe driving, exercise, etc). Bob Wells (CheapRVLiving) just had heart surgery and covered that and interviewed a friend about his knee replacement on his latest episode, and it was a real wakeup call for me. Their procedures were scheduled, but I had a couple nasty winter slip-falls, a few years apart, toes over teakettle, down the steps on my spine, out in the woods alone. Fortunately, no surgery or hospital time, but like I said, this clicked some facts together and made me think. So I figured maybe the rest of the community might find it interesting, too. Your take and the topic as carlife, I mean. As we say in hurricane country, have a game plan. Thanks for all you do. I love your work. Namaste'. 💖
I would put something in the front window not that blanket thing....no sir ree buckaroo...security breach
The guy in parking lot could be harmless but always follow your gut.
Has anyone ever mentioned that you put clean clothes into a dirty laundry bag? Your method with folding is commendable. I really need to clean my car. Cracker Barrel is a favorite! I do happy dances and make yum noises when I eat good food, too. 🙂
Just you so far lol. I’ve been meaning to get a separate laundry bag.
Good content man! You make it look easy! Just a normal day in the life of a car dweller! 😊You truly living the life! Peace , happiness and all that!😊😊❤
Thanks Mary!
Hi Bren. It’s always the little things that makes us happy! Always choose happy!! Counting your blessings as you go! Love your heart!
I wanna move into my
Car
in your part of world GOV care but in my part no one specially GOV care
Top of the morning to ya!!! Another great video as always...look forward to your positive content🤍 you seemed a little down or like you had a lot on your mind.? Wishing you a happy day. Know that you bring much positivity to us!!! Blessings today and always. Be safe 🙏🤍☀️
Nope, feeling good. That’s just my resting Bren face.
@@brenpgrace good to know!!!! I've been accused of having a resting bi**h face more than once!! Have a great Sunday 🤍
Hey hey hey, where are you?? Looking forward to new content. Hope you are well!! I think I can speak for most of us, We miss ya!!
Millions of people dance or something similar when they eat. When people eat or are about to eat it releases a high amount of dopamine causing us to act out, as in dance or etc
Stealth... nice on the carwash ride thru... I haven't since 2021 when I sold the car. Good times! Peace
Luv the Pez dispenser description
Glad somebody caught that 😁
Yay, new video! 🎊 Happy Sunday.
You are definitely one of my favorite car /vehicle dwellers out there. I just feel bad for that line of work because of all the driving around you have to do. Lots of money in gas, and the wear and tear and miles you put on the vehicle.
Indeed. I’m working on additional income so please god I won’t have to do nearly as much driving. Thanks for watching.
U picked at great place to eat n sleep.. I ❤️ Cracker Barrel.. I ate n slept at one last summer in Florida luved it.. it was a wonderful visit n the food was soooo goood… I was gonna eat breakfast the next day but I met up with my daughter n went with her to 711 which in Florida is also a nice place to visit.. looking forward to living like U.. that’s y I love to watch how u deal with the job, home.
