I Got The Knock! | Self Defense Tactics | Living In A Car 🥋🚙

I got the Knock! Let me tell you how it went down and I’ll show you one of my self defense tactics!

Everyone should know basic self defense and practice it. A cop told me, “the body won’t go where your mind hasn’t already been” you have to think it through and practice the scenarios.
Love your humor! 😂

As a hotel night auditor I have had people walk in and ask me if it would be okay that they parked in the back and got some sleep and they'll leave early before others start coming out for breakfast and I say sure you can. It doesn't hurt to either call the front desk or walk up to the desk attendant. Many of us are very nice and will allow you sleep.

As a youtuber who's been here for 10+ years, it's NEVER a good idea to give out your social media's. Lots of weird people out there. You just never know. When in doubt, call the Ninja Turtles. 👍

Always listen to your gut instincts.... 😊 May the Creator of the Universe keep you safe. 🙏🏼

Bren, the knife scene is golden. Always keep your sense of humor, it will get you through rough times which I am sure you know.

I seen it time and time again, the ones who do harm aren't the ones who will always show the intent. Ill never forget the lady who was talking randomly to a stranger at a bar. It was 2 women talking, and the woman just introduced herself and was being friendly. Little did that woman know it would be her last day on earth. That woman who befriended her had every intention to kill her and take her identity. That woman never knew what was coming. I agree with you Bren, wise words. Just because someone is nice doesn't mean they are good or have good intentions. I always pay attention to the hands, that's my number one focus around anyone. Stay Safe !!

I've gotten knocks about 4 times so far living in my vehicle. Once at 7am was a state park ranger who was nice and asked me to leave within an hour and no more overnight camping.
- Another knock at 1am was a hotel patron who asked if I was OK, offered me a job trimming trees which would put me up in hotels 5 nights a week for free (him and his company were staying there)
-the most recent knock was at 3am during a snowstorm a police officer just asked if I was OK, and that a plow truck driver spotted me, i said "yeah im ok, i need to sleep for work in a few hours" I was still in a dream daze lol. I didn't even have a chance to get out of my sleeping bag or take down a window cover before he was back in his car and gone lol

Living the life you live is better to not engage with too many people you don’t know. “Rob” was nice but he could be feeling you out, you just never know and there’s a lot of weird people out there.
Stay Safe!

Great video the knife training absolutely took me out. 😂😂😂😂😂

Yesss a stranger and then him being able to see what you have in your carhome! Him seeing everything! Yessss I think this way as well! That's true Dont set yourself up too much with sharing that kind of information! Very smart Bren!!

[magalymonarrez]

I'm glad it was a friendly encounter!!!
:)

[johngonzo]

Good thinking!! All that thinking is street smarts and common sense.

[nickhayley]

Loved the little Leo and Bren training montage. Had me in stitches.

You've got your head on right. Assume most people are friendly but have a contingency plan if things go South. You're a good egg, Bren.

Thanks for the cheeky upload and can't wait for the q and a video!

[AventuresWithTR]

The relief after hearing the “I live in my car too!!!”

[drivewithdee]

All you need to know: Mr Miagi “wax on, wax off” 😂 thanks for the laughs!

[johannemilsom]

I have been watching your videos for a few months now. And enjoying them! 👍I am pleased that you are prepared, should you encounter a bad situation.🤜

[DustyyNomad]

Hey man I just found your channel and I’ve enjoyed your videos a lot!


I would have done the same thing in that situation. Completely agree with staying discreet to a certain degree in the area you currently reside. I’ve noticed some Carlife / Vanlifers with YouTube channels only post videos from any given area only after they have traveled away.

I think pepper spray may be a good addition to your self defense gear if you don’t already have it. The thing with that is being careful not to let it get inside the car if you’re still inside.

Always believed the best defense is one’s feet… or wheels in our case. I have my exit technique down to < 30 seconds to get in the front seat, pull down the front window covers, and drive off. I always have the keys in the same place in front, and I always park in such a way the I have a clear path to drive away.

[AventuresWithTR]

That's true I sleep with my pepper spray around my neck now on a lanyard I love this!!! Your humor!! Omg!!! The grap the weapon practice lol 🙏

[psalm]

Leonardo! Loved and laughed through your lil add-in! Dude! ❤ have an awesome day Bren ☺

[sukesamoore]

Bro! Your knife training had me in tears. (laughing) Glad I found your channel. Stay safe out there.
