Yoo dude my name's Zeph I'm a huge fan of you and your channel. You've been an inspiration to me and I feel like I relate to you in a lot of ways. I struggle with the same DOC, love to skate, used to live in my car. I live in SF so if you ever out here lmk if u wanna hang. Keep doing your thing and take care bro

[@jennsuneditedjourneys]

I love your spirit! Thank you for sharing your story. Also, I love your watch. Very cool!

[@MikeyCline]

Your editing is SO GOOD! One of the many things I love about your channel ☺️

[@shawnbreaux1532]

Great content Jake, keep being awesome

[@TheMegRye]

Excited for you on your new adventure! Maybe you could take a trip up north (east coast) for a little since it’s summer it’ll be warm. Have you ever been to NYC?

[@JakeMcCollum]

How long does it stay warm up there? I hate cold but I’d love to go to NYC and some other places over there. Message me on IG

[@TheMegRye]

@@JakeMcCollum the weather’s been so unpredictable lately 😂 June, July, August and September will definitely be warm. October is usually good too

[@RDStudios]

Come to Tennessee just like Buc-ee's. "Sorry, Texas, some things are bigger in Tennessee; namely, the world’s largest convenience store, the future beloved beaver-themed Buc-ee’s Family Travel Center that’s planned for Sevierville." One is coming to Gatlinburg, TN which is a tourist spot. It's just East of Knoxville, TN. But you should check out Nashville one day for sure. The gig work there is fire from what I hear.

[@monicamonette3996]

OMG your back to ATX!

[@yrich5737]

Ideas for vlogs Coolest thing to do in Austin, Austin hang outs, People watching in Austin, First week in Austin what i learnt.

[@PicoFromTX]

These videos remind me of the wonderful vlogging era of KZbin. They’re so therapeutic to watch.

[@mariebernier3076]

I agree, therapeutic.

[@finefuturity]

moved from TX to MA just last year. seeing this video is bringing back so many memories of my time in Austin. some good, some bad, but man. just remembering that's where I spent all of my 20s. thanks for the video

[@ikolivelongafter]

making the drive from Dallas to Cali currently for work!! you really helped inspire me to start the urban stealth thing. It’s given me a lot of freedom!!! I appreciate you more than you know dude!!

[@andrefl4641]

Brooooo, Austin is sick. Stay and tell us how the dating game goes for you 😅

[@rudfil]

I never been to Texas but which city is safer, cleaner and more cool to see... Dallas or Houston? I heard about Austin.

[@JakeMcCollum]

Dallas is 100% safer, cleaner, & easier to get around. But Austin always has things happening and there’s a lot more to do here.

[@Jimmy-qg2ix]

I was in the process of asking what size deck you ride because I’m getting back on a board after a 10 year hiatus when you said, “8.3 in case anyone cares.” I care 😊

[@JakeMcCollum]

Happy I said it then 😂

[@leticiagerardo9747]

I hate being underwhelmed when it comes to spicy wings. I like to feel it. I like the heat factor, my temperature rising, a little bit of perspiration and a somewhat runny nose. I like what I like. They did look delicious! Be safe out there. Austin has become a bit dangerous in certain parts of town. Avoid Rundberg, dirty 6th and 7th.

[@stephenaustin9099]

The black chair shot was fire.

[@adamlee5834]

That edm dubsteppy music right after you said you feel good was a great place for it. It really conveyed feeling badass, driving down the road. Here's hoping we all get that feeling today!

[@delvaldog2869]

Hey yes sir! Glad you are here! Welcome to the land of the weirdos, but not the ones you want lol I car life the area pretty well and know a few spots. I’ll hit you up on the discord,, don’t have any social 👾

[@lillimendez]

Welcome back to Austin. I can't belive a famous person is in my town. I want to invite to to my church Shoreline Sunday Services are at 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. You I'll love it!

[@VinnieVan]

Hey. Glad to see you back in town.

[@deborahlozano7134]

Maybe you will go to Iowa.

[@stephenelliott9937]

Not a Jake video without a clip of the calculator watch... great video as always

[@JakeMcCollum]

Happy someone caught that 😉

[@wendysteinberg2595]

So happy to see you back on the road!

[@MeganWalsh]

Happy to see your back on the road Jake! Cant wait to watch you travel again! Austin is an awesome city, I can’t wait for more videos :)

[@amywood5555]

Just moved from Dallas to San Antonio last year. Beautiful scenery compared to the concrete jungle... but I do miss my friends back home and Dallas always calls me back every time I have left.

[@leonmiramontes2264]

Where you at Jake ??

[@tm95lifeanddogs24]

I’m surprised living in your car you haven’t went out and bought one of those hospital pee bottles I used one of those during Covid when I was delivering for Uber eats and you couldn’t go in any restrooms comes in handy.

[@jamesbrooks3664]

Or even Gatorade bottle works

[@kirkjordan8718]

Found a place to live starting June 1st. 432 days living in the Hyundai before wreck Thanksgiving (9-15-2020 to 11-25-2021), 157 days on the street (11-25-2021 to 04-27-2022*(purchasing new vehicle)), and will be finishing up the last 34 days (04-27-2022 to 06-01-2022) in the new Chevy Tahoe. I was starting to lose it in the Hyundai before the wreck... Thanks for the videos and inspiration Jake! I didn't do it alone! Will def buy some merch when I'm setup!

[@gabrielort3531]

You mentioned a wreck and that's what ended my "car life". Somebody (probably texting) rear ended me real bad and car was totaled. To be honest I have not done "streets", but hats off to those who have had to do it (or might've even liked doing it!).

[@kirkjordan8718]

@@gabrielort3531 it's rough and I honestly wouldn't have survived without a few friends helping out. It's just I don't like feeling dependent on people. I haven't spent every night at a friend's but when it snows or something... You can find shelter pretty easy at Union Station where the train tunnels are. You can go to shelters. The thing about shelters is that if you're actually trying to build a respectable future then your kind of like David in the Lion's Den. I don't think those are healthy places. I was t-boned because I was turning left onto the highway not knowing where I was at. The other dudes airbags went off but the car was still drivable and mine wasn't. I don't think my airvags deployed because I had taken the passenger seat out and built a bed like Jake's in the Acura. He took off at first and then held me at gun point after circling back. And then he drove away after telling me he was doing me a favor before the cops got there. I didn't know what to do. Family isn't buying the story because it seems far fetched but it is what happened. Dude was driving a white stolen grand am with New Mexico plates. And the truth is I actually caused the accident accepting a doordash order and then unassigned it after merging without looking...but he took off so I blamed it on him to get me covered in insurance... The driver was never caught but the vehicle was found and reported stolen according to Brighton, CO police a few weeks later. I wanted to start a youtube being homeless with car life and it would have been the only way to actually verify my story. I didn't get the dash cam A] because I was still getting high and couldn't broadcast it and B] because ultimately I didn't want to knock off Jake. And C] nobody would want to watch my demeanor at the time. But for verification of the accident and a general confidence booster to prove to myself that it wouldn't have been far-fetched that I could put out good content I wish I would have had the dash cam even though it would have cost me coverage of my vehicle. I'd be lying if I said I was clean and sober since then... but the truth is I did pick up some trespassing charges living how I was and am on probation... so I am 66 days sober and just passed my first drug test the other day. But that means if it took 66 days to clean my system of pot then that means I probably haven't been sober sober since highschool. I think in the end marijuana might be worse than other drugs, but it is sort of a pick your favor of kool-aid. God has a plan for everything. When held up at gun point I told the guy to pull the trigger. I didn't care anymore. And for a while I was in and out of the hospital too. At times unlikely people have saved me. I could have made it worse by reconnecting with the wrong people. I don't think the shelters would have offered any help build successful goals or habits. And it was really fucking hard to find employment with pending charges on my background and the fact that I was doing every interview as if it was the movie The Pursuit of Happiness as a homeless guy unable to dress the part. Eventually my phone was shut off and I had to try to find a job without that too. It took a long time but friends would help when I came by and random people have saved the day. And I've debated killing myself but if that dude didn't pull the trigger in the middle of no-where Brighton, CO then God still has a plan for me. It's something that I wish was documented but at the same time everything happened so fast even with the dash cam and other stuff... Assuming they were purchased and I was sober 100% of the time... That probably would have meant that I wouldn't have had those either. I was unable to recover anything from the vehicle because insurance sold it off for parts to fast for me to get to it. It's a mess that I caused due to shooting myself in the foot for 17 years straight. And I'm lucky as hell to still have a few things. And I can't go back to those things ever again. The bridges to those relationships are burned and won't be rebuilt. And the only ones I care about will eventually heal and be a little better than they are today but may never be the same.

House park will have to be my local for the remaining time here. I ain’t complaining. Lol Yeah dude, so far the April deck is solid. I had been curious about it for a while. Man the Austin chicken spice sneaks up on you. The following morning I had an emergency explosion happen at a Lowe’s. Lol

Hi

[@DannyBridges]

Jake, Love your vlog bro! I’m currently doing the same in Florida. Living in my Prius by choice and doing delivery jobs. Life is much easier not having to worry about rent. Thanks you for keeping me entertained by your videos. I’m also glad to see how well your doing with your step program! Stay strong and live life by your own perceptions of how it should be and do not live it by the perceptions of others. We create our own happiness. Others cannot create it for us no matter how much they tell us we should live by their own perceptions.

[@rorywalks]

Danny, do you know when traveling to a new state doing Uber eats in doordash can you just turn the apps on and go or do you need to call them and change your location?

[@DannyBridges]

@@rorywalks I haven’t dashed out of Florida yet but I have dashed in other regions of Florida and the app just prompted me to switch to the new region. I would assume that is how it works out of state also but still unsure.
