HOW I LIVE IN A JEEP WRANGLER

[@JohnnyHeracles]

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

[@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.

[@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]

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!

[@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! :)

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@daemonbossard2945]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@dainiukas13]

is there a shower in the engine compartment?

[@LukasDeem]

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

[@schizzultz]

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

[@MineGames131]

Definitely.

[@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

[@craigoslin8472]

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

[@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

[@susanbussler5613]

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!

[@Unburdened_Beauty]

Hi sexy!!!!❤💙💛💚💜

[@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!!!

[@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

[@lostcec]

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.......

[@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!

[@alexarivera3354]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@arkbama6]

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

[@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

[@Lucasbourgeois19]

This channel will be huge, calling it

[@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.

[@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.

[@patrickconnors8403]

LOL, the monk chorale was a great touch.

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@vincentcastellano4072]

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

[@ChrisBenard]

Really well edited and funny. Good job, man.

[@packbadge]

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

[@smrtrthanyou4388]

It's kinda hilarious how hard people try to be "cool" and unique. I'm not certain there's many people that could stand that "whoa, dude!" persona 24/7. I'm all for living in cars or trucks or RV's or whatever the hell you wanna live in, though. Good for you for being adventurous....but, for real, chill. lol.

[@GaynNovi]

Ok. So living out of a Jeep for a few weeks at a time, how does one keep fresh w/out a shower?

[@BrendenWasHere24]

He said hes in the Airforce, so Im guessing that he takes showers there.

[@jakjak9071]

Gym memberships to franchised gyms that are everywhere... (ie. YMCA)

[@GaynNovi]

He also said he's only on base one weekend a month, and sometimes he's out of his jeep for days at a time in the wilderness.

[@SnakeRiverFishing]

All it takes is soap and water he's even got a way to heat it think backpacking with an enclosed 4x4 backpack and life can be pretty posh

[@andyh5102]

In the Marine Corps we use baby wipes when we have no showers for extended periods of time. sanitary, biodegradable, and you dont smell like a hobo afterwards

[@privileged9847]

were do you shit?

[@DkpProductions]

you know they make adult diapers right

[@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!

[@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!

[@jamespalmer5407]

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

[@collinscott2067]

james palmer 😂😂

[@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!

[@downshift83]

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

[@J8rd5n]

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

[@OU81TWO]

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

[@ThomasGreenhill]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@Nofretari]

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

[@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!

[@amyconn2406]

I'm glad your didn't get sick.

[@VsixtyFive]

Great Video Bro!!!

[@mattmoro1510]

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

[@iamjake]

Small world!

[@tinkls57]

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

[@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.

[@jannis2072]

ah dude this halo4 soundtrak

[@KieranQMcKenna]

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

[@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 👍👍😁

[@MansterBear]

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

[@gay.potato5923]

I have never heard of a KZbiner that lives/films so close to me. I live 10 minutes away from battleground

[@calebschultz1485]

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

[@isaiasrodriguez4638]

I love how you used the halo theme song! haha

[@CallumPikePotter]

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

[@iamjake]

Appreciate it thank you and welcome to my channel!

[@winstongodfrey04]

+iamjake sorry but why are you living in a jeep

[@masonbreese2844]

iamjake is too underrated

[@moedog5087]

Where do you shower @iamjake

[@iamjake]

gyms usually!

[@moedog5087]

+iamjake gotcha! franchise membership or one time use?

[@iamjake]

franchise so i can bounce from gym to gym depending on where i am in the country. YMCA! Military discount and they're all over the place.

[@moedog5087]

+iamjake awesome. you could could also mount a black water tank with a small pump to your roof for showers. may be another alternative for when you're out and about.

[@safecracker112]

+Wade Adkins he may have not understood what that is and simply meant a water tank colored black

[@spinLOL533]

Invest in solar panels for the roof for A\C

[@jrfgaming1827]

U still need bigass batteries, they don't work at night

[@spinLOL533]

+JRFGaming obviously you need batteries but you wouldn't leave it always running

[@jrfgaming1827]

+RaFi TV then why do u need solars

[@spinLOL533]

+JRFGaming you're so fucking stupid you put a switch on the batteries and save the energy the solar panels generate during a sunny day

[@jrfgaming1827]

+RaFi TV oh is that right? I'm positive that a battery like that can't last all night, smart ass learn how to spell

[@masturbatingkitten9300]

Just want to let you know that with eggs they have quite a long shelf life without having to be refrigerated. I'm talking like close to a month or better..

[@sirsamuel4883]

This is some genius humor haha great stuff

[@iamjake]

Appreciate it Samuel! Welcome to the channel!

[@littletons]

Just to add on to the egg thing.. A lot of people have made the point that eggs aren't refrigerated in other countries and therefore you don't need to either. Eggs bought in the US must be refrigerated. It has to do with the different practices of salmonella prevention. European hens are vaccinated and therefore the inside of the egg should not have salmonella (which makes it okay to be stored at room temp) while US eggs are simply washed and refrigerated. Both methods work, but not if you don't refrigerate your eggs in the US.

[@oddbaker4229]

crazy setup dude!

[@wedontdrivestock223]

The fact that you used a Halo song is amazing

[@SleezyBinx]

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!

[@RealLife73]

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

[@charliejohnson_16]

Two things 1. How come you are living in a Jeep? How long do you plan to live in it? 2. My right ear enjoyed this a little bit more than my left ear.

[@eklasty9213]

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

[@iamjake]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!

[@2Tsmoke]

the last suitcase scene was epic

[@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

[@LeeFazzani]

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

[@renehasp]

Where do you go to the bathroom? How do you shower? Where do you wash your clothes?

[@joeb5534]

You're gaining subs so fast holy

[@LukeLittle-rt6sn]

Love the halo music

[@messijaffa2693]

Ah yes. A propane cooker deserves the glory of the Halo 3 theme

[@Nolongercole]

Yo bro you deserve way more subscribers 👍🏻

[@iamjake]

Thanks so much!

[@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?

[@cobyison1449]

Get military food all you have to do is add water and heat also it last for a long time

[@ryanhard5273]

MREs are great but they are kinda pricey when they aren't being given to you pallets at a time.

[@alexf2445]

+Ryan Hard in the guard there is always a surplus of mre because nobody wants to eat them...he could prob snag some from a supply sgt

[@BrandonHepler]

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

[@usedpizzabox03_47]

Get a truck extended bed buy a cap and sleep in the bed of the truck there will be more room

[@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.

[@CHAD-RYAN]

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

[@jeckle78]

if you rub mineral oil on the eggs it will preserve them maybe any oil will work but not sure. Eggs are porous so air gets in an oil prevents that

[@worldsurvival4895]

I'm sure it's been said but coat the eggs in olive oil and they can remain without going bad with no refrigeration for a while.

[@LorenzoSerchia96]

Song at 9:05?
