How to Build a Bed in Your Car for Living & Sleeping | Homeless &  

I made upgrades to the bed in my more recent videos! 🛌

Mike you are a bonafide angel. Really need more decent, caring people like you. Thank you.

Mike, you're proof that we still have humanity in the USA....Love it!

Tint your windows at least 20% for privacy, and get a windshield sun blocker shade thing.

To Mike - man you are one AWESOME dude to help out a stranger like this. Big frigging thumbs up to you man (if you read this)!!!

That guy Mike is legit a badass person. So glad it all worked out

I think you just helped about 50 million people who will be living in there car any day. Get a better sleep

All cars in California should have beds since everyone will be homeless there soon

Wow Mike, you have changed someone’s life. Awesome

Wow, Mike is awesome to help you with all of that!!! Amazing and inspiring!!! I’m glad you have a bed now!

Thanks Mike for helping Jake out. He definitely looks more comfortable with this setup.

You need thicker foam or you're going to keep having pain. Side sleepers require a bit more plushness for the pressure points in your shoulders and hips. Pretty cool set up though.

MIKE a BIG THANK YOU !!! For reaching out to Jake making His personal journey more comfortable and providing the tools with guidance learning new skill sets along the way. Your a Gentleman and a Scholar 😎🤘👍🙏

Mike God will reward you for your kindness. Blessings to you Jake.

Dang, Mike is skilled and awesome for helping as well.

THANK YOU MIKE!

Wow, shout out to Mike for helping so much! Very kind!

Mike , words can't express what a great thing you did for Jake. And the hope you have given the rest of us.

Thank you Mike for making life for Jake so much more comfortable and giving the rest of us ideas about living on the road.

Mike helps to remind us there are good, giving, kind people out there. We all want to be like Mike!

Great to see other individuals sharing their gift with one another. This is how we are suppose to come together and help each other. Thanks for sharing Mike & Jake.

That is SO cool! I have come close to homelessness a few times and that is one thing I always worried about because my seat wouldn't be very comfortable to sleep in but now I know its possible to make a bed in a car. Thank you Mike and thank you Jake!

I did the exact same thing for a few months in a 96 Toyota Camry . There was enough room to actually put a platform in behind the drivers seat and the back seat behind the drivers side came off completely so my lower half was in the trunk it’s actually almost 7 feet of space from the back of the trunk to the back of the driver seat pushed forward. Then I got tired of the set up process every day and I put two tubs from homedepot which were just about 12 inches tall were the passenger Used to be and that made a relatively flat platform with an unfolded cardboard box on top of it from Home Depot also. Add a 25 dollar foam pad from Lowe’s and that was the set up. Same exact thing as yours but realistically I did it for about 40 bucks

God bless u mike ..and plz God watch over this man

I would suggest to tint the windows fairly dark and get a windshield covering so you can have privacy and security, and keeps the street lights out of your eyes when your trying to go to sleep, makes a big difference, good luck to you!

What a wonderful, skilled and humble man Mike is. Thank you for helping out this young man in need. Best wishes.

Mike is an awesome guy!! Great setup. Hope it gives you some neck and back pain relief, Jake.

HUGE SHOUTOUT TO MIKE..., super dope you helped out a stranger, trying to get stuff done..so fresh of you,

Go to Costco pickup a 6” twin memory foam for $149 and have a comfortable sleep. Mike, your the Man!

I became a subscriber after watching this video..I remember those days of me sleeping in abandoned cars and houses ..man stay strong brother...I hope to do RU-vid full time

Mike God Bless you for helping this man. 🙏💕

Thank you Mike you are a great soul May God bless you

Wow, thank you Mike for hooking the boy up with an awesome bed area! Plus, there is plenty of storage underneath the frame too. Ingenuity at it's best 👍👍

Mike, you are model example of a good dude. Keep up your good work. May God Bless and Protect you always.

2 Hands up for Mike and his generosity! Also love that you have a great bed for sleeping now!

Thanks Mike! From all the wanderers and travelers we thank you.

Glad you have a more comfortable sleep system. Stay safe (& warm in Winter). Thanks @Mike.

Thank you Mike for helping a good guy out he deserves it peace out

Mike you’ve shown that there is still good in this world. People like you keep me optimistic every day.

Thank you Mike for helping us with our homeless friends. At our lowest point we are able to get care from a stranger , it is the warmest feeling.

It's great and all, but also makes me kinda sad. America claims to be the "land of the free" and "opportunity", it's the wealthiest country in the world, where people at the top are the wealthiest people on the planet by a long shot. Yet there are a ton of folks sleeping in cars in Walmart parking lots..

Mike you're a wonderful person!!!

finally a real good living in your car video!! Thank you MIKE ! also its really clever that u can hide stuff under your bed, also if you want added security u can just screw down the board when sleeping or have some type of bolt with a connecting hole instead of using screws.

So wonderful that total strangers will help out a person in need!!! Thanks, Mike!

We need more people like mike 👍 thanks mike for helping jake

I thought about it and you guys pretty much drew out the whole plan, appreciate the knowledge. I will be sleeping cozy real soon 🤙🏽

Mike you were a God send! Thank you for caring for others.

Shout out to Mike from Florida. There are still some good people left in this world!!!

This is really cool Jake, and MIke you are a very good guy and God bless you and your family. A few weeks ago I travel East to the West for 3 weeks and live in my car and some friend's home on the way and I work in my car too. I enjoy this lifestyles. Good luck to you Jake great video.

Time to Netflix and chill in the car. Love the content man. Keep it up.

If you live in your car, a bed is absolutely necessary. I think you did a good job there.

Blessings to Mike for helping.

Mike walks the walk. Mad skills. You could look for a 2 to 3 inch memory foam and under that a yoga mat. ( and if you really bougi cut down a mattress with springs or get a hold of a baby mattress that has springs from friends or thift). Really great work.

nice job. I am glad someone helped you. That was really awesome of him 👍🏻🚗

If You are planning to keep the same car for a long time. You can get a replacement drivers seat a "u pull it" for $40 Should be four bolts and a little plug in. If you wanted to get one in better condition I mean.

That’s so cool you found Mike and he was nice enough to help you out.

Just a suggestion , since you like driving and delivery how about you apply for a courier job in Austin and surrounding area as courier for laboratory specimens and hospital stuff. They are companies like Labcorp, CPL, Medspeed., etc. You could work full time and they will provide you with service vehicle or just part time or just contract so that you can use your own time. It is usually easier and reliable, probably pays better. But it maybe boring for you, less excitement than the food delivery. Sorry, this is just a suggestion.

Thank you Mike! We need more of you in the world ❤️

Mike, thank you for you kindness to those who need help. May the same kindness come your way.

Mike you’re the man! I will be attempting to do this to my car now!!

My man Jake, hoping you big wishes for your journey in Austin. I also want to go there for grad school (fingers crossed). Keep up the vids man, best wishes.

Thanks Dude!!.. Definitely gonna do This!!.. Stay Safe. ☮️

You saved a great deal of money in labor by Mike helping you. Mike is an awesome guy! Thanks Mike

Such a helpful video. Thank you for filming and thank you Mike for helping. You made everyone's day.

That is so awesome. In such a limited space you have built a respectful bed. Kudos to you and Mike

That's a pretty dope set up man!! Mike is awesome for helping you!!

That was nice Mike to help this man in need. Great job!

What a kind MAN to help out this Young Man Good on you x

Mike is awesome! The platform is great.

This is why Texas is a great place to be!

Great people like Mike exist and that gives me hope for the world. He did an excellent job and seemed so humble. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you a lot for this video I'm about to start building a car bed myself, this really demystified the process. Hope you're seeing amazing things on the road

Car garages should offer a carlife or vanlife option where a bed like this could be installed on site etc

Sweet! Thanks Mike for helping Jake :))))) Now u need a cover for the drivers seat. Take care Jake

I'm so happy for you now. Very nice of Mike to help you. Thank- you for shareing.

Mike.God bless you and your familyfor your generous kindness.

Way to be mike! Safe travels, sweet dreams Jake!

Loved this video Jake! Just ordered a t-shirt. I’m glad you are doing ok!

Cool guy! Thanks Mike for helping this brother out. God bless!

Mike - you and other good people like you make this world a better place. Thank you !

Great build. Subscribed. Suggestion sand the edges so you don't cut yourself on wood. Maybe stain wood , get a small solar lamp set or even a solar security light incase someone is coming looking inside it will flash em. Stay safe.

Wow! Thank you Mike! This makes me so so happy! :-)

God bless Mike! Hope you the best Jake!!

Mike, it’s nice to see that there are beautiful people in the world yet . It means a lot to people to have good people in there lives. Thank you! Goodnight 😘🌙

Thank you mike!

Dope video, shout out to Mike!!!

Very nice of Mike to help the guy out. Nice JOB MIKE. GOD bless you

Mike, thank you so much! American ingenuity & willingness to help a stranger is alive & well!

Thank you so much Mike for helping Jake, you did an awesome job!!! Hey Jake, a couple of suggestions, for vehicle privacy you might want to try out some Magnetic Reflective for car windows or Perforated Window Vinyl Privacy Wrap Film Roll Decal Sheet easy to install or remove. Be safe out there!

U should wrap da wood with automotive carpet dey sell it at Wal-Mart

Mike helping you did a great job. He was God sent.

Mike's a good guy. What a great friend.

Nice one Mike! Looks like a sweet set up

I wish i could do that with my 2010 nissan sentra. I fold the back seats down and lay down with my feet in the trunk

Mike ...........You're one of the Good Guy's !

good job Mike. gr8 to c there is still good people in the world.

Bless both of you!!! Thank you Mike for helping out! You are a great example of a decent person and someone we can all strive to be more like! Jake I love your channel and how honest and open you are!!! Keep up the great work and enjoy your life to the fullest!!! Love love love to all!!!❤️🩸⭕️😎

Great job! Out of curiosity - how tall are you? I'm 5' 7" and I sleep comfortably in the back of my Hummer H3.

Thank you, Mike, for helping Jake.

I would suggest trying to get a bigger SUV or station wagon because with your head trapped in that small hole it will be uncomfortable. Also if you can go electric go electric because then you won’t feel bad about keeping AC on all night and it can be charging all night too. Also get window blockers and make a completely pitch black area where you will sleep. Ideally from outside it should look like a normal car with dark tint windows, but inside totally opaque. Finally if you can get bullet proof glass on all windows or some other kind of window reinforcement, do that.
