Hitting Hwy 395N - Destination Unknown

In this video Goose & I head up Hwy 395 with no set plan. We just decided to pack up the night before and see where her 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL would take us. And boy....I did not disappoint. We hit all kinds of different terrain overlanding & even got some pretty awesome wheeling in going thru Red Rock Canyon State Park.
We were able to test out our new Gazelle Tent & were surprised at just how quick we were able to get it put up. We ended up spending our final night in a beautiful spot up in the Sequoia National Forest. But that's not to say we didn't have our share of challenges. Let's just say that having a first aid kit & a charged battery jumper are essential pieces of overlanding gear we will always be sure to bring with us.
We hope you enjoy the video & are all healthy & safe!!!

When I see a 40+ minute video from MR. & MRS. 395JNKY - I grab a few cold beverages and clear my schedule. You guys are great Thank you for sharing another adventure 🍻

[@395jnky]

That is awesome! I try to keep the videos around 30 mins, but this one ran long. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@pedrogonzalez2035]

Thats so awesome how the whole family shares the same 4wheeling/camping passion. Great quality time! Makes the rest of us dads jealous😎🇺🇸

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

Keep the lovely Momma Goose happy, give her the upgrades she needs. The rewards will be overwhelming for both of you.

[@395jnky]

She deserves it...thats for sure for putting up with me...LOL

[@scottsnyder8691]

[@fredmontgomery9166]

Another great video!! Great lesson for the newbies, even a prepared experienced well rigged rig CAN leave you stranded! Hate that feeling though, glad ya’all are safe! And yes Sequoia nat forest is dreamland!! But shhhhhh about it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@395jnky]

Well said. Glad we ended up getting her Jeep started in the end. Disappointed in that Jeep battery though being it is not even 2 years old. Thanks for the comment!

[@xbenture]

395 has so much to offer. Awesome video!

[@395jnky]

Yes it does! Glad you enjoyed. Happy Trails

[@jimh2061]

Great Video! Looks like a lot of fun

[@jephreaux]

I am about 2/3 of the way through this video, I just wanted to say thanks for doing them. I really enjoy them, keep it up and I look forward more. Great job as always!

[@douglashelland5055]

Time for a build series on the JL.

[@395jnky]

Mama Goose has you all drinking the Kool Aid...LOL...Her Jeep is built. HAHAHA. I think I should do a walk around and then we'll put it to vote...LOL. Thanks for watching Douglas and taking the time to leave a comment. Happy Trails

[@OVRLNDX]

Awesome video buddy!! I was waiting for it!

[@395jnky]

Hope you enjoyed it Marco! Happy Trails

[@NerdyByNature51]

great video! Momma Goose was right, she needed stronger beer to make her feel better haha. Glad she was ok.

[@395jnky]

Thanks Jesse. She probably could have used a few to numb the pain...Luckily the next day she was already feeling better. Now, she is all back to 100%, but she has a few bruises to remind her to change out of those cute little boots she likes to wear on the trail. Happy Trails!!!

[@slinkycv]

Love watching your videos. You two are great and momma goose needs upgrades 😀😁

[@395jnky]

I'm glad you are enjoying the content J B. Happy Trails

[@tomb9953]

Hi Daniel, my 3.8 Rubi since right after I got it sometimes it acts like the battery is dead. I move the shifter from park and back then it starts fine, known issue with the neutral safety switch. Hopefully they fixed it on new transmissions. Just fyi. Cheers. Hope Mama Goose is better.

[@395jnky]

Interesting tip...I'll keep this in mind for the future...And thanks for the well wishes..>She's nearly 100%, other than a few bruises...Thanks for the comment!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Another great Video! Oh and my Wife with her 2018 2 Dr JL says Momma Goose needs MORE MODS!

[@395jnky]

Thanks Scott....I kind of feel like y'all are ganging up on me...LOL

[@chefmartyjoe58]

My wife and I just came across your channel, what a treat. We just finished our rig 2021 gladiator and took it out on our first trip, we are hooked. We will be headed to Alabama hills mid May. We live in Nevada. Thanks for the great video. Hope Momma Goose heals up quick.

[@jime.angulo4151]

missed you guys! thanks for documenting your trips. Never boring..

[@395jnky]

Thanks for watching & glad you enjoy the content!

[@grn9209]

Gazelle tents ⛺️ ROCK!!!👊🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@395jnky]

I agree. I was real happy with 1st trip out with it!

[@offroadsoda]

On those steep downhills Momma goose... ya gotta breathe - he’s got this and your JL is super capable. And remember when you’re at the wheel crawling... there’s a great downhill mode that’ll do all the breaking for you. Learn it if you don’t know it already. Hope to catch up with you guys again some day (Monache), but you’re going to have to come up to Montana cuz i moved here... and there’s much here to explore!

[@jaxtraxtv]

great video! awesome family. Thanks for sharing

[@Dutch1951x]

Apparently Momma Gooses Jeep needs some upgrades. Start with a dual battery, LOL. Great video, thanks!

[@395jnky]

Perfect first comment...LOL. You're 100% right! Thanks for watching Chris!

[@2bond007]

We love wondering trips. Just pack & go!! So fun! Love tour videos! You two could probably use a roof rack for these JL gettaways.

[@felixvargas4112]

What a great time! The weather looked perfect..

[@395jnky]

It was! A little breezy Sat afternoon, but overall the weather was great! Love this time of year!

[@dylansimmons256]

great video brother ya'll stay safe

[@911leoni]

Man, I love these videos, I feel like I'm at camp with them

[@livrdrm1361]

First of all, thanks for all your video's. I've commented before about your video's getting me though my masters program. They really helped to motivate me stay focused and live vicariously though your trips. I'm an older adult so returning to school and doing a masters in one year was tough. My wife and I have a 2016 Rubicon w a tent, and we overland and just started backpacking too! Were climbing Mt. Whitney on June 15th and camping in Alabama Hills. We finally stayed in our jeep in Idyllwild last weekend and hiked San Jacinto. Anyway, lets get to your wife's jeep! She needs a Rhino Rack for all of the gear, and a Bestop top for the front, so she could have a convertible. She also needs some lighting, that's just for starters! Happy Wife Happy Life

[@395jnky]

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the content and it helps you get thru your studies.....And so awesome that you guys are using the Jeep for overnight trips. Mama Goose wants to do some overnight backpacking trips and hike Whitney and some of the other higher peak mountains here in So Cal. Kudos to you guys for getting out and trying new things. Happy Trails

[@RoaminRomeros]

Glad to see another video! Welcome back!

[@johnkaper1129]

Daniel great video as always and especially the family interaction. I have the same Micro Starter as you do and you probably know this already, but there is a "Boost" button on the Micro Starter. The Boost setting really helps with next to a dead battery, it gives you extra power. The other thing is that you can charge your Micro Starter as you drive with their cable plugged into your Jeep. I know that you normally have it top off before you start your trip, but in doubt plug it in. You might want to put a ground tarp under your Gazelle, even though they have a pretty decent floor. I have the same tent, but the larger size. They do go up quick as you showed in your video.....Happy trails, John

[@stevehori673]

Daniel, I bet Momma Goose takes some great pictures. You should insert them into you vlog so we can see them. Thanks for sharing another adventure.

[@awdgsx415]

Great Video as always 👍, the couple times we've wanted to explorer Red Rock canyon it's been crazy windy to the point you gotta hold your hat! We usually just make a pit stop where you met up with your daughter. Sequoia national park is beautiful as you know already definitely recommend to anyone else.

[@395jnky]

Thanks Raul! That Red Rock area was so great! We will definitely be exploring more in the future!

[@lummoxoverlandadventures1072]

YES! Red Mountain! my favorite camping spot, with the WR450 anyway. Hope to see you guys out on a trip sometime. P.s. will ya do something with that "non built" Jalopy Mama Goose drives HA HA!

[@395jnky]

Red Mountain was a pleasant surprise....Driven by it many times, and had never camped there....Would love to explore that area more one day. Lots of trails!

[@lummoxoverlandadventures1072]

@@395jnky lots of cool stuff over there. All the old mine sites, The dry lake bed was an old USAF test site, the old runway, husky monument...

[@johngee6197]

Just watch your video in big bear camping its nice want to start my channel moved out here from LA for the beautiful views and nature exploring and hiking i love the wood you learn a lot about yourself that you didnt know about living in the big city.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

Thank you for showing the roof rack Gabby has. It rains a lot here in southern Louisiana and I really don't want to drill holes in my roof like the Rhino racks need plus I don't like riding around daily with a rack when I'm not needing it.

[@395jnky]

Glad it was helpful. It was a great purchase and I would highly recommend it for you. Thanks for the comment. Happy Trails!

[@MarioLoco03]

"If i really wanted it to feel better, I wouldnt have a Bid Light" LOLOLOLOL haha man, I was dying. My girl talks trash about my beer too.

[@markmedina9245]

After hearing we were both up the 395 the same weekend, couldn’t wait to watch. I was quite a bit higher and it seems a lil colder. Great video Daniel! P.S. We all know Mama Goose is gonna get what she wants, that what us husbands do... if we know what’s good for us! Ha!

[@peterholub7662]

I love that you're local to the IE so I can plan future trips and make sure to not leave on a Friday after 1 pm :). You gotta upgrade Momma Goose's Jeep. Gazelle tents are the truth. I just went to Joshua tree and it was super windy. It was super sturdy and I didn't even guyline the sides.

[@GIGUNS-0341]

Jawbone canyon is where we go camping and shooting,the wind mills belong to DWP ,we patrol that whole area by helicopter and 4x4 vehicles. If you ever need help stop by the house next to the aqua duct it's DWP property and the reservoir keeper will help you out. great video.

[@395jnky]

Thanks and I remember seeing that house! Good looking out!

[@therealq2812]

Genesis Offroad dual battery system and upgrade the alternator to 250 amps ...BTW, awesome videos!

Hope you enjoyed it! Did y'all ever find the cave you were looking for?

Loved that. No truer words have been spoken.

[@melissanail2304]

Momma goose. Just do what i do give him a list of what you want done and buy it. Once it gets delivered he will install it. 🤣🤣🤣. We also have his and hers jeeps cause we go out too much for others to consistently play with us.

[@395jnky]

I hope she doesn't read this comment. Because you're 100% right...If it gets delivered, I won't be able to help myself...LOL. Thanks for the comment Melissa...I think. Happy Trails

[@abjamesjd]

Team Mama Goose! Mama needs some upgrades! 😂

[@395jnky]

So, basically what you're saying is that you're torn and not sure if her Jeep needs any other upgrades...Noted....LOL

[@EricJohnson3753]

Mama goose definitely needs some upgrades on her jeep. It always seems like the only jeep that gets nice upgrades is Bell and I think it’s time that Mama goose gets a few on her jeep. Plus it’s fun watching her give Daniel a hard time.

[@395jnky]

LOL Eric.....You're really not helping the situation...HAHA. Regardless, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Happy Trails Eric!

[@henrikm4657]

I always run the fridge off of the Jackery when I have it in the car. Most cigarette lighter outputs in the cars are only rated at something like 1A, and my 82 qt ARB fridge draws 4-5A when the compressor is running. I typically keep the Jackery charging from my 170W solar panel when I’m driving, or from the cigarette lighter if the panel isn’t giving enough juice.

[@chris1293]

FYI there’s a starter battery under the main battery. JL have 2 batteries. I was in Anza borrego couple weeks ago doing some camping. Found my battery dead the next morning too lol.

[@395jnky]

Yah, I know...and was hoping at least that battery would have allowed it to start...but maybe it had been the source of starting for the past few days and finally it ran out of juice too....Weird...Regardless, the main battery is replaced now and so far so good...Still considering a dual battery setup...Thanks for watching Chris!

[@Suavveb]

Give mamma goose what’s she wants how can you say no to that smile she has lol

[@OVRLNDX]

The Noco on board battery charger connected to my Jackery overnight, has kept me out of dead battery trouble!

[@kg2995]

Hi Marco nice to see you on the 395jnky channel!

[@395jnky]

@marco - I have the Noco in my Jeep, but haven't ever thought of hooking it up each eve while at camp...It may be time to upgrade the Jackery 240 to the 1000 or 1500...But her Jeep doesn't have any battery upgrades, solar, etc...But the Noco on her Jeep is probably the most inexpensive fix and then use the Jackery in the eve's...Good call! Hope you're well brother!

[@395jnky]

@K G - I agree....He's such a great supporter of the Overland Community....

[@sparkyofsocal]

I keep the NOCO plugged into something while l'm tooling around to guarantee at the end of the day it's topped off. Using the USB, 12v or the 120 off the inverter. I am usually alone and the dead battery is one thing I worry about. I have MT so when available I camp where I can bump and have jumper cables. And dual battery. Like I said dead battery is my only real fear of a breakdown bummer I don't want to deal with.

[@scottmacdonald1877]

Looks like you got the Gazelle T3. I've had the T4 now going on 2 1/2 years and love the thing. I actually just got the Overland upgrade package for it with a bigger, roomier, waterproof carry bag, footprint and heavy duty stakes/guylines. The only complaint I've really had is the original carry bag is on the small side and can be hard to pack it up. A quick tip on the rainfly is to install it before you pop the roof up. It goes on much quicker and easier!

[@Letsgocamping143]

Halo Bolt jumps anything and charges your devices from a small brick. We love ours and it has saved our kids many a time.

[@395jnky]

I'll look into this...Thanks for the tip!

[@phillipconnolly5020]

I am getting better with eating right even while camping. I take my health seriously but every time I go camping I seem to cook like shit. That has been changing lately. Keep up the right meal choices!

Mama goose gotcha with the Bud light jab! She always got jokes for ya! Would love to meet up with you guys with my wife! Thing mama goose and “the General” would get along!

[@TheTamrielDrunkard]

Momma Goose needs more upgrades! Whatever she wants!

[@smfmotors]

Love my Gazelle T4! First time setting it up was pitch black in Death Valley after being awake for 38 hours. Thank goodness it was stupid simple 🤣

[@LBCR6]

I have a 18 JLU and I plug my fridge into the 12volt in the back and it drained the battery in no time and the Jeep would not start. I did a little investigating and found that the 12 volt plug in the back is connected to the small battery under the fuse box. So I ran the arb 12 volt harness from the large battery to the back and now plug the fridge into that and have never had any issue starting the Jeep. You might look into that mines the 3.6 engine.

[@395jnky]

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t realize that rear 12v was powered from the smaller battery. Good to know!

[@pmurphy12667]

aint that the truth, leaving on friday anywhere out of the Inland Empire is ridiculous! It is what is and we all do it but your trips and vids are great! And yes mama goose needs more upgrades..happy wife happy life!

[@jscribn]

I have the Gazelle tent too. How the heck do you fit it in the 2 door? I have a hard time getting it in my 4 door! ha ha. Great vids and I can't wait to check out the area.

[@joshleal9811]

For sure her jeep it will need some upgrades. A good roof rack will be nice.

[@ltr310]

My battery on my JL went bad too! It’s a 2018. Not holding a charge. Luckily my Noco jump pack started it right up. Will prob go w a single odyssey batt.

Love my Gazelle tent. Tip though. Before you push up the center put the rain fly on first then push up on the center.

[@395jnky]

That's a great idea! Yah, we struggled with getting that last corner on...Really need to muscle it to get it on. Thanks for the tip!

[@carlosvilla7555]

Yeah I do think she needs more upgrades

[@juanmcsweeney4503]

Small detail I noticed and I always hesitate to do it myself, Dismantling the fire ring before you leave. Im always torn and think im helping the next guy and he can use the fire ring or do I leave no trace? Always leaving no trace is best, good job.

[@2bond007]

I have a different brand jumper than your microbrand. There's a button you hit on it to "boost" it when the battery is dead dead. Just FYI, dunno if yours has that.

[@JohnHMoore]

Dude (watching first minute of the video), I soooooooooo know what you mean. I flipping hate hate HATE 15/215 north to Cajon Pass. Or below Cajon Pass on the way home. I've been known to get up at truly ungodly hours just to try to clear Cajon Pass without the insanity.

[@wardperozuk2782]

Ok, skottle gets knocked over by the dog, wind blows the camera over just as you are saying you are keeping it real!! Good video material. Been waiting on you to do a bit of an informative piece on the new Gazelle. Is it a tight fit in the back of the two door? And what did you find as the issue with the battery? Some people are having issues with their ESS battery draining the main. Cheers!!

Awesome

Thx

[@sleepytrek2317]

Beautiful video as always! Overall however was the tent worth it ?

[@paullarson6183]

I have been out that way before, just curious. When you got to the valley past Jaw Bone and you went up the mountain did you go up a tiny little switch back road where you seem to gain a thousand feet? That is how we got up the mountain and coming down it was even freakier! haha It was so steep in some parts you just slide.
