Living in My Car | My Greatest Day in Colorado Springs (Almost Died)

[@roninspidey5771]

As someone who has lived in CS my whole life its cool to see a video like this and really appreciate how badass this city is.

[@debbieschultz9768]

I live in Colorado Springs and it is a beautiful place to live. It’s also fun to see someone in the same city as me and know all the areas they are talking about

[@ThePyrshepnBelgn]

I live in Colorado Springs and there are surprises around every corner. Check out the Palmer Lake reservoir trail or Seven bridges trail. Two of the best trails in Colorado

[@queenhighway777]

Old Colorado City is a great, fun place! There's so much around Colorado springs to explore. Glad you didn't step on that rattler! Keep up the videos, Jake. Be safe out there.

[@robynmontgomery9826]

OCC is the best. I'm vision impaired and can't drive, so I love walkable neighborhoods.

[@loribreford8621]

Welcome to Colorado Springs! I am so glad you highlighted some great stuff to do here!

[@katherinebare8212]

Wow, I've lived by pulpit rock and hiked there for 15 years and I've never seen a rattler. You're lucky!

[@B1GGAK47kale]

Mannn that song when you skated

[@MMontana4]

Love the blooper extra at the end! Thanks Jake

[@christyhickman5093]

Glad you didn’t step on that rattle snake! I thought you might have been running from a bear! 😳😂 I appreciate your attitude towards Shugah’s. I hope you have a better experience next time. Colorado is beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ❤️U God’s speed!

[@sugarsalt6637]

Love this video. We lived on Ft Carson from 02-06 and I loved every moment. It’s great to see the area again!

[@yrich5737]

Great video. Really enjoying these latest ones from CO.

[@Fables121]

“Magpie first thing in the morning!” Lol @2:00 and the sound effect for the burrito @10:23 Cool skate moves too!😄

[@Sunshine_day]

If you like train rides & Hot Springs, take the Zephyr from Denver to Glenwood Springs. Beautiful ride and relaxing hot springs! While visiting my daughter in May about 6 years ago, we rode the Zephyr to Glenwood Springs and enjoyed the outdoor hot mineral springs pool while it was snowing. A very pretty and chill town!

[@clintduplechain6942]

Totally agree with this comment! Glenwood Springs is one of my most favorite places.

[@kirkjordan8718]

Yeah but the Zephyr up to Glenwood takes freaking forever. I don't know why you'd do it other than just to say you've done it. I'd rather drive it and get to Glenwood that way you can actually do something when you get there. There's plenty to do in Glenwood and you'd want a car while you were up there. If you're into a travel time that takes five times as long as the drive and want to be stranded when you get up there, then yeah take the train or whatever. Edit* that said Glenwood is one of my favorite places. Hot springs is sort of overrated compared to everything else.

[@ozzy420time]

I understand that the employee at Shuga's may have been a little unreasonable about the way they handled it but in general if you plan to film in an establishment you should clear it with the staff beforehand, especially if it's a small business and you've got a tripod camera, it's not weird to assume it could make some patrons uncomfortable. Awesome video, Territory Days was a fun little festival!

[@Mopar300S]

Colorado Springs resident here, the views never get old. People are nice. Decent food. The bad weather in the summer is the drawback

[@danamagic1]

You look healthy and happy!

[@marketdetective]

I love how you are sharing what you are doing with the map

[@PickingVegasandBeyond]

Lmfao at the scream when you almost stepped on the rattlesnake. You need to be careful. When I lived in Colorado I ran into mountain lions, rattlesnakes and bears all the time when I went hiking.

[@JakeMcCollum]

Dannnnng 😳 Yeah I’m always skeptical about that when going out by myself. Sounds terrifying

[@PickingVegasandBeyond]

I had some change my shorts type of moments that’s for sure.

[@candacechew76]

I grew up in the Security-Widefield area south of Colorado Springs. Over the years we had everything from rabbits, raccoons and skunks to black bears, bobcats and mountain lions. And just across Hwy 85/87 on the old Venetucci property they had coyotes and foxes moving into the area.

[@mire77e]

Not going to shugas seemed like a blessing in disguise cause that burrito looked bomb as hell

[@lyndadee1728]

Hello! Hang in there! Just know that I owe you a big kudos because over a year ago I started my Art & Music Therapy business ...watching you and many other KZbin friends inspired me! Love to you youn man! Keep on doing what you do... living intentionally with passion for life!

[@clapoutloudclapoutloud]

Rattle snakes to keep cool, stay in rocks crevices to cool off, so as you climb just be aware, you were lucky dude, and you do not know how lucky. they can lunge and strike, I have seen some in my life time, and it is amazing how some people act as if no problem, not good - always respect a snake.

[@candacechew76]

Lifelong Colorado native (48 yrs old). I prefer Colorado in the fall. Especially up in the mountains when the aspens are turning color. Beautiful place to live.

[@NoOtherChick1]

Love this video Jake!!! Your transitions are looking awesome and really loving the creativity in your vlogs. I’m happy to hear you’ve enjoyed your few days in Colorado. And remember, it’s okay to not always be on top of everything. Sometimes we need to just simply live.

[@tonteek1936]

Glad you’re enjoying Colorado Springs. I can’t remember how far Woodland Park is, but that’s where the elk will congregate during rut season. Last time I was there I couldn’t believe how close people would get to the elk.

[@shawnevans26]

I know Woodland, Colorado! I went up there a few times from Colorado Springs. My memories could be off a little, but I think you just take State Road 24 all the way up there.

[@samrichardson2641]

No they don’t….. that’s Estes Park.

[@candacechew76]

There have been Elk in Woodland Park before but, for an up close personal experience Estes Park is better. They hang around Estes Park all year long. Plus, that's where the famous Stanley Hotel is.

[@candacechew76]

@@shawnevans26 it's Highway 24, not a state road.

[@xGSxAmAZyn]

damn man your looking good!!! keep meditating and remember how things can turn 180 so easily! you got this!!

[@kaylorkorwek3107]

You need to check out Red Rock Canyon. Hiking in Gold Camp is also really beautiful. Hope you stay around this area for awhile longer love watching your videos.

[@clintduplechain6942]

Brooooo……that burrito!! Wow. Yeah man cool vid today aswell. Sure makes me miss Colorado. these from the hip type vlogs are pretty ill. Glad your enjoying Colorado. Be safe my brotha. See you on the next one🤙

[@gregbrown5020]

Your irritation over the Shugas security incident was understandable but funny also.

[@Jesse.D33]

Random things of beauty or things that most may not cry about, make me cry too. Like yesterday I was in line at dutchbros and I was looking in their app reading about the co-founder who was diagnosed with ALS and I legit started crying. Had to pull myself together before the person walked up to take my order.

[@tiffanytayon3181]

Colorado looks like a really nice place to visit!

[@gracexpeace]

Loved seeing the skating added in!! Please keep that up! Great vid!

[@garcefranklin2610]

Looks like you made it another amazing day, thanks for bringing us along, while standing on that massive rock looking down. I'm not down with rattlers, I'll take the burrito instead!

[@Fables121]

Idk, that burrito sounded pretty dangerous @10:23 lol 😂

[@hedonisticrunner6741]

Nice!! I live right behind Pulpit Rock. Gotta do the Incline before you leave.

[@zqpcydbfoqbdiehdj]

I've been to Colorado!! And I'd say.. it's very beautiful/peaceful!! ❤ enjoy your time there bro..

[@pokeyellow9660]

Let's go! Nice video! Can't wait to see more adventures!

[@dbeatty]

Pulpit Rock is definitely a place for Rattlesnakes. I've almost stepped on them there too many times!

[@retirementbootcampoff-grid237]

Great video, Jake! 😘 Glad you are enjoying (mostly heh heh 🤨) Colorado.

[@gabrielort3531]

📽️📽️📽️📽️ ....LOVED IT!! Well except for the snake...lol! I have some things in common with you..that's definitely not one of them! (The Baby talk was worth it though 😝!)

[@gotzemusic]

The dedication to set up all these camera shots of you walking is real

[@DrTomness]

OMG, I love this video. I moved out of state and miss this place. You got caught up in Territory days, a celebration when Colorado City was the capital, before Denver became the state capital. OMG Alfonso's Mexican Food, I dearly miss their food. out of all the food there, this place hold my heart. Thank you sir for this video. XOXO.

[@ryanlockhart176]

haha so glad you went to Alfonso's, that thing looked amazing. Next time I go to Colorado I will definitely have to check that out. So funny last time I went to Colorado all I could think was, man I wish I had a Prius so I could live out the back and just do deliveries when I need to. Keep it up, your living the dream for me. But I also enjoy you keeping it real and letting us know it's not all sunshine and rainbows. thanks bud.

[@bonniemagnuson8772]

Just around the corner from Memorial park on S Circle really enjoying watching your visit around our City 👍

[@1ajw23]

Shugas and Alphonso's are staples! I used to live off of 21st and Cucharras in old colorado city. Territory days is just a straight up BANGER of a weekend. I'm glad Shuga's manager helped smooth things over, that's a really cool low key spot that my wife and I always bring out of towners too - we've had run in's with some bad service at times too. Overall, awesome place though. Glad you had a great visit!

[@shawnevans26]

I know I keep saying it, but I love Colorado Springs! Front Range BBQ was over by Territory Days, you should check it out. They have great bands on Wednesday evening/nights.

[@jdiaz8819]

I subbed and like all your videos , I hope to watch you blossom into your full potential hope your channel blows up, I think your videos are well done and you have a likeable personality, wish you the best and will continue to watch your journey

[@dailycrittersinmyyard4849]

You needed to get out on the hundreds of miles of trails in the mountains proper. Section 16, Columbine Trail, etc.

[@johnmontana18]

Pulpit Rock has lots of rattle snakes,, but you know how. It is still a little cool in Colorado Springs, that might have saved you as it might be a little sluggish. Palmer Park also has rattlers.

[@Faithmadelegacy]

So glad you had a fun chill day, you can totally tell it was a good day 🙌🏻

[@allisonboston5738]

I’m curious why you don’t want to deliver in CS. I assumed the money would be pretty good in the area. It’s cool to see how easy it is to car camp there. Another great video! 👍🏼

[@mimsc2914]

So beautiful in Colorado. So glad you're still alive and well. 😵

[@HM71787]

Hey I started watching your videos recently I moved out here in the Springs couple years ago was paying to roomate with someone struggling with the prices going up I am going to be moving into my car soon, who knows we may run into eachother. you seem like a great guy and it would be cool im sure i will need advice along the way as it will be new to me.

[@8AlisaInez]

💚Pretty Nice 😊 Closeup of the rattlesnake 🐍, Love Colorado… Enjoy!!!

[@safetyfirst3132]

Great friggin day!!! Happy Memorial Weekend 😊🎊

[@dscarty]

Always great from Jake!

[@allaboutroofing2]

0:32 definitely still well within Colorado Springs, just on the north side... You can still go about 8 mi north and still be in Colorado Springs. ( You're at approximately mile marker 148 off I-25 and last exit in Colorado Springs is 156)

[@RePlayQ]

The pulpit rock hike is fun! We brought my little chihuahua terrier up there handing him off up the rocks haha. Was an awesome memory. I live right by there and there’s always people standing at the top.

[@RePlayQ]

Ooo and I love Alfonso’s

[@valentinaadventures5748]

We live in Colo springs…. We loved here we move from Denver!!!

[@njk9989]

Only hike early, early, early in the morning. The cooler it is, the more likely that they are still holed up underground staying warm!!!

[@allaboutroofing2]

4:25 passes and filmed huge bright orange sign that says "Territory days Event Ahead -Thru traffic use hwy 24" 4:30 "is there some type of event going on?' 🤣

I boondocked there last summer. It was beautiful and peaceful. I love Colorado Springs.

[@cinaminaminaman766]

Just graduated AIT and I'm getting stationed at Fort Carson!! excited to see Colorado!

[@CannaMomLife]

Hey Jake dont let the haters keep you down or get you upset. Thry obviously dont know they were about to be featured on the REALEST channel on KZbin. Speaking of which...can we get a restock on XXL tshirts? Ive been trying to get one.

[@funstang2008]

Estes Park, Colorado and Belvue, Colorado are some nice forestry areas if you want to check those out.

[@mikegilmour6409]

my old stomping grounds. I grew up in the springs. we played little league football where the skate park is. I think there was 10 fields. been all over Palmer Park, pulpit rock, Garden of the God's. I really miss that place...

[@bjspencer3080]

Yeah I was told when we went that a lot of people live in the National Parks Free of charge! Some guy had been living there for like a year out of his car! So there's that

[@jamieb1926]

You should check out the lakes and trails in monument, colorado and palmer lake. Its about 15 minutes north of the springs, its the small town before castle rock.

[@bryanc2262]

I know exactly where you were, right off Nevada rd before it becomes Dublin rd, over by pulpit Rock. We hike there frequently, just three miles from our place. We also had run ins.with rattlesnakes at pulpit.

[@kierstenclaire]

Oh my gosh, this makes me wanna go to a street fair😯 Colorado is beautiful 🏞🏔🌆

[@stfusam9538]

That song was dope while you where skateboarding

[@quirkyaspen]

Check out Senor Manuel's here in the Springs! It's my favorite restaurant! You could also check out Red Rock Canyon or Woodland Park, another small city near by.

So thankful Mr Slithers did not take you out 😁🙏🤗 Do they know WHO they kicked out? 💞

[@jdkingsley6543]

Territory days I remember visiting that a few years back lol.

[@allaboutroofing2]

If I didn't see that rattlesnake, I wouldn't have believed it. I'm a springs native and enjoy hiking. I've been to pulpit rock probably a dozen times and I have never came across a rattlesnake there or anywhere in Colorado Springs. That was meant to be apparently.

[@joshwickham3468]

Ive seen pleanty at pulpit little bit early for them though.

[@123underthebed]

almost same! i have only seen two ever lol that's crazy you actually saw one

[@justincase5272]

You're not north, and I CAN see my neighborhood from there. :) Oh, and in 13 years of hiking all over Colorado Springs and the surrounding countryside, I've yet to see a single rattlesnake! Lots of deer, bears, foxes, bobcats, and bighorn sheep, though.
