[@JohnnyHeracles]

Jake you inspired me 3 years ago and after this semester I'm going into the wild with my jeep thanks man

[@iamjake]

I am getting a lot of traffic to my channel from this video and just wanted to thank everyone for watching and subscribing! I really appreciate it! This isn't meant to be a technical video whatsoever and is definitely pretty ridiculous. I daily vlog, turning each day into a story of it's own in a cinematic way. This was done in a few hours after work to share how I have been living in my jeep and is not my normal vlog whatsoever. Thanks again for watching and I appreciate all the support!

[@ethanmckay50]

Hey man I'm from Oregon too! Portland is great, I'm jealous of your jeep. Subbed.

[@iamjake]

Small world! Thanks for the sub Ethan! Welcome to the channel!

[@owenlynch4081]

How do you brush your teeth and use the bathroom

[@danyheatley4153]

what year wrangler?

[@iamjake]

I just brush my teeth and i use the bathroom anywhere but the jeep. I'm normally out in the middle of nowhere or at a coffee shop uploading a vlog. I shower at gyms when I work out!

[@hannahcuster8480]

This was the most entertaining van life tour I’ve watched in a while (and I’ve watched a TON.) 10/10 for your personality and camera presence

[@auntbarbara5576]

Indeedie! 😋

[@iamjake]

Definitely be careful on the leaving out of the meats and eggs. The periods of time I mentioned are extremes and weren't the norms. If I buy raw meat I try to eat it that same day, and eggs within a few days. The meat left out for closer to 2 days was bought frozen and kept in the shade. The eggs I had for a week out definitely are a little sketchy. I don't recommend doing this just getting it out that there is some wiggle room. This is just my experience and yes there always is a possibility of getting sick. But I've also gotten food poisoning from eating a frozen pizza IMMEDIATELY after cooking it.

[@maximohepburn3941]

what about washing your clothes and going to the bathroom? (public laundromat and public bathrooms maybe?)

[@iamjake]

gyms and laundromats yes!

[@iamjake]

gyms and laundromat!

[@WilliamsSkilliams]

eggs are good for at least 2 weeks brother. Most countries don't ever refrigerate eggs. Video was great! pretty classic!

[@adamsandifer5588]

+William Saint Most countries have different regulations and therefore deal with salmonella differently which is why the U.S. washes and then refrigerates it's eggs.

[@jojo35996]

Two years ago I found the video of Jake setting up a hammock in his jeep and then this. I instantly fell in love with the channel. To see how far the 50 state road trip has gone and how much the channel has grown is amazing.

[@nenben101]

Eggs are actually okay to not be refrigerated! In most countries they don't refrigerate them.

[@armando9174]

A few days yes,but more then that be careful. Eggs in the U.S. Go through a cleaning proses that removes a protective coating on it, unlike other countries and that's why they are refrigerated.

[@anthony91688]

Nenben they last longer refrigerated

[@coachhebert8468]

Agree, I live in Costa Rica and our eggs are never refrigerated

[@Myjp32]

Umm. It because most countries don't have their eggs in transportation as long as the US. If you buying at the grocery store, eggs are already weeks old. Local farm, no worries

[@isaacfarmer7138]

This video has 441 thousand views. I don't know why all 441 thousand haven't subscribed, because I love your content. I've been binge watching for the past few days trying to get caught up. It's really inspiring, I'd love to do this in my Jeep one day

[@loganbroome3120]

I just spent the past hour watching your videos and I have got to say your life is so cool you have such a positive out look and are so inspiring, you have gained a subscriber.

[@iamjake]

Thanks so much Logan! Really appreciate the support man! Welcome to the channel!

[@tombrooks8565]

I love watching some of these older vlogs, since you're on vacation. I hope all is well and hope you are enjoying your time with the whole fam damily.

[@azurexj6957]

They sell a bumper that can store water in it for wranglers

[@kadenbohm775]

AzureXJ what's it called?

[@nima20031]

Kaden Bohm Actually, plug the holes on the bottom of the stock bumper, and you can keep 7 gallons of water in it.

[@schizzultz]

Is your friend baked? Were you baked? Inquiring minds want to know

[@MineGames131]

Definitely.

[@LukasDeem]

By far the most unique rig video I've seen yet. Very freaking nice.

[@daemonbossard2945]

Jake!!! You inspired me to start my jeep channel! Thank you man. Can't wait for you to come to Denver!

[@SuperStarO]

I can see your channel blowing up man. Keep at it. If you ever need background music let me know. I have tons of instrumentals you can use of all kinds.

[@ethanbleam9454]

Ayee O!!!!

[@luketibbs9325]

i have actually thought about doing this and go on a road trip. I'm hoping to get a wrangler but if I don't, I'll probably end up getting a truck with a big cover thing on the bed. it's a big plus because you don't have to pay rent

[@rozzilladidit]

jake gets baked. is what this should be called, love it lol

[@iamjake]

Haha! One of my weirder vids for sure! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@craigoslin8472]

Great job Jake. Be safe and will see you in a couple months.

[@CollinJulian]

This video was epic and informational! I loved it! When I get my jeep finished I just might have to try living in it for a bit!

[@1533ramsay]

Wow, a Jeep Unlimited would be like having a small apartment. Enjoy your life. You will look back on these days and say that's when I was the most happy in life. I suggest to NEVER GET MARRIED. ;-)>

[@BakuganBrawler211]

Especially the TJU they would be awesome for this I feel compared to this yj

[@TheLostPosse]

ill keep this in mind mark.

[@hannahmarden6397]

Mark Hoffman definitely I've been able to comfortably sleep 2 people in the back w/ the just the rear seats down

[@kingofdestruction5561]

Mark Hoffman

[@rodrigogomez5035]

if your wife doesn't allow you to go camping on your own for a day or two is she your wife? Or just a female watching you and your actions? hmmm. Marry the one that wants you not the one you want.......

[@amandadee3472]

I started watching you last week.I have alot to catch up on.Jakebthis by far is one of the funniest ones I have seen.Oz is a trip. jeep on my friend.

[@dainiukas13]

is there a shower in the engine compartment?

[@calebschultz1485]

Dude what is the epic opera music u play when introducing the Coleman water container 🤣🤣 I'm weaaakkkk

[@jannis2072]

ah dude this halo4 soundtrak

[@patrickconnors8403]

LOL, the monk chorale was a great touch.

[@Forestmcmac]

This was the very first video I watched of Jakes. So glad that I started watching following and subscribed. I've now started from the beginning and just caught back up to this one. Can't wait until you make it to Massachusetts!!!

[@alexarivera3354]

Best Jeep, Car, Van, Skoolie life Tour Video EVER!!! SUPER ENTERTAINING

[@ChrisBenard]

Really well edited and funny. Good job, man.

[@stephenhill6003]

I do the same thing in my TJ, but I use a board over the dash, passenger seat and back seat. It's a tight fit, but with a good sleeping pad its comfortable.

[@vincedemo2752]

You have actually broaden my horizon with the idea of jeep living. I really like the stealth aspect of it. I'm a bigger guy so I will need a bigger jeep. The Earth-roamer jeep is like the holy grail of jeep living lol (but it cost about 50k 😡)

[@iamjake]

Awesome glad to hear it! The Earth-roamer would be sick! At my age I don't mind not having any of those added comforts and I love my old Jeep.

[@tylorhughes4484]

vincent X luckily that's not much more than the Rubicon. Lol

[@vincentcastellano4072]

I see what influences your editing and camera skills, great work! Make it you man.

[@LukeLittle-rt6sn]

Love the halo music

[@CrustyRustysRestoration]

Dude the first video of yours I watched, lol a while ago, way back before we were both in Overland Bound. You’ve come a long way Jake, proud of you buddy, thanks for the great videos!

[@sirsamuel4883]

This is some genius humor haha great stuff

[@iamjake]

Appreciate it Samuel! Welcome to the channel!

[@VsixtyFive]

Great Video Bro!!!

[@vanoramarv4193]

First video I have seen of someone living in Wrangler and I have looked. Thanks for sharing. I know how I would do it and plan to build out our Wrangler one day. Good thing it's an unlimited. I will use it on short trips instead of T-Rex, a 4x4 class B van. Happy trails.

[@Rogue.Rider0]

You've got the dreaded YJ. Roughest riding machine on trails ever. My first jeep was a YJ. I had a vac line broken on the 4x4 and I climbed the biggest mountains in 2x2 thinking I was in 4x4 lol. I couldn't believe it and I didn't find that out until I sold it. I own a TJ now and the ride diff is drastically better.

[@arkbama6]

Thanks for bleeping out Oz! Appreciate the kid friendly channel since I’m a kid😂 (at heart.). But him peeping Tom was hysterical!

[@troy824]

the last suitcase scene was epic

[@amyconn2406]

I'm glad your didn't get sick.

[@peanutbutterrunner]

actually been considering going in the woods and camping for a few days but don't like sleeping on the ground. definitely going to check out the cot idea in my tj

[@LynxIsCreative]

This video is in my recommend for no reason but I'm glad it was and you should be to because your channel is gonna blow up

[@iamjake]

Appreciate it Lynx that means a lot! Welcome to my channel!

[@KieranQMcKenna]

I love the whole idea of living out of your car :) really enjoyed this vid

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

Pretty cool ... I just got a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee and was thinking the about it before the weather heats up.

[@JordanKnowMoore]

I have been thinking about living in my Jeep Patriot periodically while trying to get my foot in the door in LA. I will have to keep up with your show!

[@mattmoro1510]

Found this in my recommended videos and I work right down the street from the ANG Base!

[@iamjake]

Small world!

[@jameshastings8831]

first video I've seen by you and love your channel, awesome editing and love the jeep

[@humza1102]

same

[@iamjake]

Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel!

[@brycegardner4852]

On your stove, the little mettle clips with the bumpy things are supposedly go in the holes on the base. One of the holes is near the propane hook up. We have those stoves in Boy Scouts

[@OU81TWO]

I'm impressed you have a YJ that's still running.

[@eklasty9213]

Love your personality.. So glad I ran into your channel

[@iamjake]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!

[@Nofretari]

Have you tried freeze dried food? Less chance of food poisoning.

[@ajf5823]

I traveled all over California and the Southwest for 5 months last year and camped half the time and slept across the front seat of my 2005 TJ. My gear was in the back. I didn't even bother cooking anything. Just ate cold foods. I slept in rest stops, visitor centers, pull offs, hotel parking lots, Walmart, truck stops and neighborhoods. A few parks. Only got hassled once in Carmel, CA and the cops asked me to move to the supermarket lot. You can be stealthy in a Jeep or car, unlike a camper or RV.

[@rickholmwood2000]

we keep chickens for the eggs and I learned that there is a thin film on the egg when hatched. if you don't wash that off the eggs can go for at least a month unrefrigerated

[@packbadge]

Right?! We have chickens as well and everyone thinks that eggs have to be refrigerated but that is not the case. Further, you mentioned about the added natural layer of protection...yes, with eggs you are not suppose to wash them ever because then the water can help transfer bacteria through the shell and start bad things.

[@jaredshaffer3901]

store bought eggs already have that film washed off though

[@packbadge]

Jared Shaffer True. But they still shouldn't be a problem.

[@1533ramsay]

when you pass a guy driving a high end car with a family and he looks stressed out. Smaller at him as if to say I got it way better than you dude! I'm 55 and would love to live in my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Who knows maybe one day my wife will really possible me off and I'll take an extended trip. just me and the jeep.

[@theandyshow7645]

Im rooting for you buddy! We all are!

[@tiffanyleiadventures]

Get a teardrop camper and take her with you dude.

[@smallnuts2]

I owned a 06 wrangler. I liked it but bad on gas. Oh and when you leave the top down in parking lots to run into the store like walmart. bastards always throw there trash into it. If I ever get a jeep again I may go with a grand cherokee. But the Wrangler is a fun time to drive.

[@Lucasbourgeois19]

This channel will be huge, calling it

[@reubenp7840]

Yeah I've lived in my jeep for a short time a few times, it's much more difficult in a 2 door when you're tall. I'm a little over 6 foot and 200lbs and my biggest issue was that I just couldn't not sleep without getting all squished up uncomfortably. I found it much easier to carry a sleeping bag, bivy bag, and thermarest and just sleep next to/underneath the jeep but that's not always an option in winter or in sketchy areas

[@ThomasGreenhill]

Lmao the level of Oz is baked to shit at 7:26 is hilarious.

[@susanbussler3372]

Im an old lady and so Im not going to live in my car. I don't know how I got to your video, but it was very entertaining! Good luck to you on your travels!

[@crackpipejoe3508]

Hi sexy!!!!❤💙💛💚💜

[@maysonyancey7856]

editing so good. i enjoy watching you more than many youtubers have millions of subscribers.. so interesting to watch

[@iamjake]

+Mayson Yancey Wow that's quite the compliment! Mean's a lot man thank you! Pretty much had no prior editing or filming experience 3 months ago when I started this. I knew a everyday vlog would be the fastest way to get spun up!

[@3C7S]

haha this was hilarious bro, good work

[@oGCpoTT]

first video ive seen by you,and i must say I love your videos now!you earned a sub!keep up the great work!!!

[@iamjake]

Really appreciate your support thank you and welcome to my channel!

[@kevinc3269]

Just buy your eggs unwashed from a local farm and they do not need refrigeration since the cuticle is still on the egg to protect it. This how they do not refrigerate in Europe for up to a month.

[@oddbaker4229]

crazy setup dude!

[@MrPoseidonSays]

I know it’s expensive upgrades but a nice Ursa Minor installed in your Jeep will make your living quarters so much better! Upgrade your life in the Jeep also a nice refrigerator will make it a super plus. O yeah don’t forget your solar panels and your good to go kid 👍👍😁

[@isaiasrodriguez4638]

I love how you used the halo theme song! haha

[@IMChrysalis]

Your friend forgot one crucial question... where do you go to the bathroom? LOL

[@Tango-Mike-Bravo]

Probably the woods with a roll of TP

[@joeb5534]

You're gaining subs so fast holy

[@mynando]

XD Love your energy! 👍 First video I've watched. Can't wait to see more. :subscribed:

[@1calledwolf]

I also keep my clothes in a suitcase. Easier and not as heavy as a dresser.

[@iamjake]

Nice! The rectangular shape works well in my boxy jeep and you can really cram a lot of clothes in there too!

[@morganmorgan242]

This is one thing I want to do someday. Id problably use a mini fridge but thats not a problem. Great channel! I just subscribed. Stoked to see you get big!

[@tinkls57]

really fun to watch these old vids from " the start of it all !"

[@RealLife73]

The music used to transition between "situations" is hilarious.

[@zachsharpe8695]

Love your journey and all your vlogs! Had no clue you were from Wisconsin, let alone Milwaukee! I live 30 minutes north in Port Washington!

[@downshift83]

Get a yeti or Rtic cooler -holds ice for 6days

[@SirDreamZy]

Why are you here downshift? Hahah 😂

[@downshift83]

+Dreamless Designs I dunno- it was in my recommended =)

[@WS6xMASTER]

I was also wondering why you where here lol.

[@g496r500t]

Wait.. another person using downshift as a handle MIND BLOWN! I've been use downshift6to4 as a tag for a long time. Awesome.

[@azel-uq2wj]

down the rabbit hole I went

[@GitNthTRUCK]

I always have my hammock in my 2door tj, its not easy but if its raining I hang it from the passenger front corner to the driver rear and its workable. Once i rode out a hell of a thunderstorm (stranded cuz my frkn battery was dead) out in the middle of nowhere. I really thought I was gonna die lol.

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

Awesome channel subbed for sure! If you are ever in the NH area let me know maybe we can collab. What kind of camera do you use?

[@jamespalmer5407]

where do you hack off at? in the driver seat or on the cot?

[@collinscott2067]

james palmer 😂😂

[@CallumPikePotter]

Not gonna lie, well edited and entertaining videos man :)

[@iamjake]

Appreciate it thank you and welcome to my channel!

[@winstongodfrey289]

+iamjake sorry but why are you living in a jeep

[@masonbreese2844]

iamjake is too underrated

[@JenuineAirbrushTan]

Great video Jake! For 2 seconds I thought hey I have a jeep....maybe.....not. I've subbed though...I look forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers!

[@iamjake]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel! Glad to have you here!

[@Nolongercole]

Yo bro you deserve way more subscribers 👍🏻

[@iamjake]

Thanks so much!

[@mitatime89]

Love your videos so funny, I'm just cracking up so much 😙

[@Friebe1000]

Just stumbled upon your videos today you should get a roof basket or a trailer hitch basket to haul around more stuff when you need it

[@davepassons]

about 50 years ago, when I was a kid, my parents would cook steak and what left over would go to china cuborad. no cooling, also apple pies. we never got sick.

[@packbadge]

The meat part is sketchy...but eggs are no biggie. You don't need to refrigerate eggs.

[@LeeFazzani]

Is ventilation a problem? Do you keep a window partly open when sleeping in your jeep?

[@chadjohnson6874]

Hey man i ran into you in longbeach a couple weeks ago and commented on your jeep. small world seein your video on youtube haha

[@iamjake]

Wow very small world! Cool you happen to find me! Welcome to the channel haha

[@nukey3581]

My right ear loved this video

[@matpinato8892]

Made me laugh a few times and for that good sir you deserve a thumbs up!!! good superhero.villain voice btw haha that is how cool things should be introduced ALWAYS ! take note people !

[@dylanmonroe3565]

where do you work?? do you drive all that Stuff around 24/7? what do you do for heat? I like this idea just want to see how u made out?

[@s6juggs]

7:18 I thought I lost the left speaker in my headset, I shat bricks brah. Speaking of, where do you shit?

[@Manniefield]

The 205 bridge when its raining is scary lol

[@MansterBear]

"My jeep, my vehicle, my baby..." Is that a reference to stick am girl? lol

[@jf142]

gives me ideas! im going to do this when i get my license and own a jeep thanks man for this idea!!

[@felishiadarling]

Funny, I pretty much do too. I tuck blankets into the soft top for curtains and I took out the seats like you. I don't cook in it nor keep my clothes cause I have that stuff in my moms house in an and my aunties house in so cal. Lol. Oh, btw, the only thing you need now is a gun. ;)

[@BrandonHepler]

small trailer might be a good investment in terms of general storage, cooler, etc.

[@brisonp6148]

Cool video I retired fro the Kansas Air Guard (retired from Air Technician as munitions troop) last year and I think I will go camping trip n my Jeep too!

[@iamjake]

do it! so cool thank your for your service! welcome to the channel!

[@Into_The_Mystery_13]

I love it!

[@iamjake]

Thank you!

[@khameriengibson5706]

Really good...really good man

[@CHAD-RYAN]

i live in the south, how would you cope with the heat at night?

[@cartermassa]

dude this is awesome. you should get a van dude! i love cycle cruzas bugout van series. pretty interesting watch! i would recommend it!

[@iamjake]

A van would be much more practical but the Jeep makes it unique! I love my old Jeep wouldn't trade it for anything! Thanks for the recommendation! Welcome to the channel!
