RMT Overland Jeep Gladiator Adventure - Breaking the Rules

This the second video in my RMT Overland Jeep Gladiator Adventure. In life sometimes you have to break the rules that people put on you in order to truly get the most out of life. I do believe there are core rules to live by and having rules in society is a good thing to keep from having total chaos, but breaking rules here and there will open your mind to new possibilities. That is how I felt when RMT Overland offered me their upfitted Jeep Gladiator. Folks who watch this channel have places rules on me on what types of videos I should produce and what gear I should or shouldn't use, but I broke those rules in this series of videos and the opportunity taught me a few things that I believe will be very useful to me in the future.

[@stout_tossme7541]

Brother, do not conform. I watch your content for your story. Not the "influencer" bullshit that clouds the internet. You are true. You are honest. Thank you for your openness and honesty. At the end of the day, it is your life.

[@tacoma_jon]

Jason, your storytelling is unparalleled. Don’t let the naysayers get you down.

[@christinefoster381]

I could say it any better.

[@SGT12XU]

Pleasantly surprised to see you in a Gladiator. You don’t need to explain yourself man. This is a drama free zone.

[@kenbaker4528]

Don’t let them fence you in Jason, the people who watch you like the way you are.

[@roelofsluurman2786]

Agree with that. Like the channel is named. KZbin. Your content. Your choice. I am not a subscriber.... But do like the video's

[@KevinNordstrom]

rules were meant to be broken. your videos help with my depression more than you know brother. dont ever stop being you.

[@henryfownes1201]

I always enjoy your content. It's not about the rig you're in. For me it's about the exploring, the outdoors and appreciation you have for the land. You do you. To quote Dr. Seuss, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." Thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work!

[@garretlewis4103]

Liked your Dr. Seuss quote.

[@davidkight2586]

"Rules that they put on you"... that says all that needs to be said. Live your life your way, pursue your adventures as you like. Most of us who follow you enjoy what you present and those who don't are free to look elsewhere. I'm not a van guy and even less a Ford guy but those are the tools you chose to pursue your craft so far be it from me to complain. Love your Oregon adventures, she is my adopted home state even though I can't be there at the present. So... "Peace be the journey."

Beautiful shot and edited. ...Some wise person once said, "The only thing constant is change"

[@billkipper3264]

Thinking about the lives that were lived in that old ranch house and the dreams they had in such a beautiful and desolate location literally brought tears to my eyes. It brought back memories of my grandparents and Uncle Jim's farms in rural eastern Kansas that, while not abandoned, are no longer occupied by farmers and all the barns and out buildings are slowly decaying away and collapsing.

[@jayhat]

It's always kind of poignant for me to think about possibly having generations living and working on a property. Living out their lives there, improving the land, etc. Then as generations progress, the newest may not be interested in this type or work or that lifestyle (and while that is kind of sad, it's totally fine). So you're finally left with the one last generation living there until they are just too old to live that life of solitude (or they pass away out there). Finally the property is just sold off or abandoned. For MANY MANY years that house and property was such and important part of people's lives. They worked hard to keep it up and build it up to the point it was at. There was probably such a strong sense or pride and accomplishment when thinking about that homestead. Now it's just abandoned.

[@trailnoggin]

RMT approached you because your subscribers love your channel and you have influence. That's earned!! When I first subscribed to your channel a couple years ago, I had a JLU Rubicon, I recently traded in for a Gladiator Rubicon. I don't care if you do your adventures in a Nissan Sentra, I watch because of you. The way you treat people, the way you treat your animals and your amazing videography and photography skills. You're kind enough to bring us along especially during these Covid days. Please keep doing what you do.

[@richardthomas1743]

WOW I love the old farm house in the valley , what a beautiful location ! Thumbs UP to you Jason .

[@PrimalOutdoors]

The farm house was very cool, I definitely look forward to exploring it further. Jason

[@davidhubert1419]

@@PrimalOutdoors what river fronts that farmhouse? Beautiful video.

That homestead was amazing, can't even imagine what it would be like to wake up to that view everyday.

Thank you. I mean that, thank you! -Josh

[@MEWyant]

Certainly no need to be bothered by those who don’t appreciate the hard work you put in. Keep up the great content.

[@rickcrane839]

It is so gratifying to follow a channel like Jason’s and see the skill of the videography improve exponentially. But just not the technical skills;, the heart and soul of the content has improved so much as well. Thank you Jason for your videos. They mean a lot.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Thanks Rick, that comment means a lot too me, as well. Jason

[@idmtdew1173]

Follow your heart Jason! Its your life to live! There is a creator that designed and hand made the outdoors you enjoy so much. He's the only one that matters. Love your stuff! Thanks for all you share!

[@watertrinemystic]

Rules? What rules did you break? I didn't see you break any rules. Carry on with your bad self and keep bringing us your awesome videos!

[@kikiob3628]

Make your own rules. Who cares what other day. There’s a lot of people who like to hide behind keyboards and say negative things while you’re out there living the life. Keep doing you!

[@joeconnell1396]

You be you! Variety keeps us alive. Pushing boundaries, comfort zones and expectations to what life is for. Thanks for sharing ALL your growth and curiosities.

[@johneskrich362]

Your channel your rules. Just looked like you went exploring to some new and beautiful territory that I may never have seen if you hadn't took the time to share, thanks!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I am really glad you enjoyed it John, I procrastinated way too long on getting out there and now I can’t wait to get back. Jason

[@GoTerry]

That negative crowd will never go away... neither will us Good Ones.. keep doing what you love, follow your gut

[@vadrifter3200]

In my opinion. One should not do what they want you to do. We are still in the land of the free. This is your channel and you can’t make everyone happy. Don’t let someone ruin your day because they are having a pissy moment. I enjoy your content, especially where you roam around. You are showing me places that I didn’t know existed. I hope in a couple of years I can start my travels and try to find some of these places. We have different natural beauty here in the east and I look forward to finding the west. Thanks for showing us the old homestead. Too bad no-one is taking care of it. As a gear head, I have truly enjoyed the building of the van and look forward to further upgrades. I don’t own a Jeep, but if someone offered me one for 10 days use. Heck yeah! I will have another shot in memory of Wheeler tonight! R.I.P.

[@thomasmccallister4010]

I think that its awesome that you get these "opportunities" to test out these products. How hard have you worked to get where you are? Pat yourself on the back EVERY day!

[@audioaficionado9494]

Drive and camp in anything you want. Always keep your options open. Haters gonna hate. Love your content and story. You have over 100:1 positive ratio. Even if it was inverted, I'd still watch.

[@thesportingprofessor3011]

You are a storyteller first and foremost. Whether it's film or video or a digital image... I watch for the excellent stories!

[@rodneyross5282]

Please keep doing what you do. You are not breaking the rules, you are making the rules. If you make the rules they belong to you. They are yours to break if you so wish. Wishing you a blessed week.

It doesn’t matter what vehicle you’re in l’m here for you and the content you make. ☺️

Another great video. Almost broke my heart to see Daisy left behind. Our Golden gets upset if we leave her for any extended period of time. That ranch house was so cool. Living there takes a hardy breed of person. Take care and thanks for the video, Al

[@traveladventurexplore]

I absolutely love this Gladiator series Josh. This is one of the reasons I bought my Gladiator and got into overlanding.

[@KScathGarage]

You have one of my top 5 favorite KZbin channels, you do you for the rest of your life! Dont listen to anyone, this is your story and MANY of us love following it! Even my 2 year old son will sit calmly with me while we watch your videos. You are living the lifestyle I dream of living! Keep on keeping on Jason!

[@pnwbjj]

Beautiful! Break All The Rules and Never Give 2 F*cks About Doing So!

[@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip]

What a beautiful old homestead. In this scenario at least you are the creator don't let others try and dictate your adventure for you.

[@ThePilbillyKnights]

It’s all you Jason, not the vehicle. Epic as always.

[@SledorFish]

Break the rules! I enjoy seeing the different vehicles you have been able to use in your videos. And that last camp in your video is my kind of spot. Set up camp, go fish, make dinner, sleep, wake up, fish, come back and make breakfast.

[@guykulwanoski1629]

Your channel, Your life, Your rules! Keep breaking their rules, Love the content and your efforts to keep it from getting stale!

[@frstesiste7670]

Every journey is about learning and trying new things, including gear. I cant imagine why anyone should object to you trying out new stuff when you get the chance. And I can't imagine a more classic American vehicle than a Jeep for overlanding - what a perfect match for this channel!

[@jetrngr430]

Jason don’t get hung up on expectations. I believe your core audience understands what your trying to accomplish. You do us a great service trying out different equipment and vehicles. Saves us from having to do it🤣. Seriously. We can get great information from what you do. Stay the course Jason. Keep doing what you’re doing. We get it. 👍

Do what you want. It's your life and your channel. Keep creating!!

We like that you make your own rules. My wife and I look forward to drinking our cocktails and watching your videos doing what you do. If you did what everybody expected every time, it might get a little boring. So I just like to say we’re glad you do what you want to do.

[@farnorthpicker56]

Ok now, who in their right mind would turn down an opportunity to take a trip with that Jeep! 😳. We don’t care what you drive or camp in, we are just thankful you take us along! We are dying to get out, but our government just put us under severe lockdown and outlawed camping on crown land here in Ontario Canada 😢. Stay safe, live life under your own rules as much as possible! Don’t forget to give Daisy an ear scratch from us😊❤️. We miss Wheeler... but love to see him in old episodes!🐕

Went and had a reset this weekend came back home and appreciate life even more the camping get away was what my family needed keep the fire burning content is on point aloha !

[@leapinlizard9487]

Jason, my 96 yr. old father-in-law always used to say "rules are for fools to follow and for wise men to use as guides". He retired as a Lt, Colonel after 31 yrs, in the Air Force and flew two combat missions in Vietnam. I know he had many rules to follow during his life in the military, but also know he probably "bent" a few rules!

[@MidTnOutdoors]

Jason, to me it doesn't matter what or how we get there. It is all about the adventures of life. I think your doing an awesome job and enjoying what you do, that is what would matter.

[@alexandregh.3831]

For me, (a guy at the other side of the continent) this is about the story. Your story, your authentic creative process and superb imagery. Personaly, I love it when you try new vehicules, camper, van or anything. My 9 years old son love your videos to. He said: Maybe one day Jason will try this by horses! He is a cowboy dad. And, why not? If it is what you want to do. Continue the awesome work and enjoy your journey.

Our overlanding “styles”, tools and equipment are usually not congruent, sir. I (and I think I speak for the vast majority of us), don’t follow you for your mode of transportation or any other tangible item you use. It’s your story telling and the inspiration you instill in us that draws us in. You keep doing you, brother...and we’ll be here no matter what.

[@shazmodeus2795]

I don't care what vehicle you drive. Since I've been subscribed I've seen you camp in the back of a truck bed, in a pull behind trailer, a van, and now a Jeep Gladi. I watch your videos because I enjoy your story telling, your excellent production values, and the incredible scenery. I also learn quite a bit from your videos that I can apply to my own camping trips.

[@williamhajnos]

Dude you are living a life I can only dream of. I envy you. Live your life and to hell with the haters and their rules.

[@pnwadventurer9674]

Hey Jason!! I watch you religiously my friend and sometimes the same episode 3 times a day, I’m a stay at home father and a disabled veteran, I’ve gone through welding school and have had about 50 jobs since getting out of the military since March of 2010, I was to afraid to not follow the footsteps of what is seen as being the “norm” or the man that put in his 8-12 hrs a day, but I realized I’ve done it, I served my country and I’ve worked the 12 hr shifts 6-7 days a week manufacturing petroleum pipeline and I finally came to terms that I need to live a different kind of life so I can better myself, or just be a better form of myself as I accept my terms, I get scared not being the “normal” hard working American man that we all see everyday, but I’ve done it and damn it I respect those that do work as hard as I did, but now it’s my time to be a father and take care of two amazing girls and live the happiest life I possibly can, you are doing amazing from what I see multiple times a day and we have sooooo very much to be thankful for. Happy trails brother.

I watch the channel to see someone doing things they enjoy, that I wish I had the freedom to do myself. I enjoy the "real" side of things more than the "forced" camp cooking/campfire shot stuff. I enjoy those parts as well, but they are more enjoyable when the person doing them is genuinely enjoying their time.
