Surviving HOLE IN THE ROCK Jeep trail

[@jimburkhalter3133]

you took the words right out of my mouth, "like father, like son". LOL. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@boyertb]

We were all thinking it too. 😂

Must be in the blood, cause it sure ain't in the tank!

[@fp715]

Well at least the gas gauge works.

[@groggysword33]

The blast engineer for hole in the rock was my great great grandfather Benjamin Perkins. Ben was a born in the UK doing mining jobs starting at the age of 8. He started working with dynamite not long after. In the UK he joined the LDS church and took a train to Salt Lake. He was called by church leaders to help colonize southern Utah. He took his wife and went with the wagon party down to the area where they’d create hole in the rock. There’s not a whole lot of information on how he created the hole in the rock in terms of engineering and design. Ben didn’t have an education since he was working in mines his whole life, but he designed the suspended tracks and perfectly measured the blast holes to allow the tracks that’d allow the wagons to go down the cliffs and gullies. They used ropes and pulleys to bring the carts down safely. I guess you could say I’m proud. Haha!

[@whammond511]

That’s really great information!! Thanks for sharing it!!

[@davemcbeard]

That's a really cool intro with the fancy chair, burnt wreck and beautiful sunset!! I absolutely love it, I hope this becomes a regular feature! Keep up the great work Rudy! 👍

I think it was in a Western (which was attributed to a fellow named "Max Brand") -- "Mother Nature is not (generally) considered a good cabinetmaker."

As you always say “thanks for watching” I would like to say , THANKS FOR SHARING ❤️

[@kingsleywray6632]

Loving the style of this. The drone, the seat with desert backdrop. The shared story. Great job Rudy and JaNelle. Thanks for sharing.

[@georgea.9684]

Rudy is killing it! I love the relaxed, laid back presentation and cinematography of these videos. So refreshing from the loud music and shouting everybody else feels the need to do. Otis and Janelle are icing on the cake… well done… 👏🏻👍🏻

[@bobashmore6442]

Why was I not surprised to hear that you hadn't fueled up? I wonder what might have prepared me for that possibility? Awesome adventure Rudy and JaNelle, thanks for taking us along with you.

[@Rx7man]

Matt has definitely rubbed off on Rudy!.. I'm going for a 3 day drive.. half a tank should do!

[@gernsey7362]

ahh just add's to the adventure :)

[@wynottgivemore9274]

Where I come from ,and that's British Columbia we don't leave town without a big thank of fuel and at least one full jerry can , whether you or someone else on the road needs it...just saying.🤔🤣😂🤣 It's like going to the washroom before you leave home.

[@Rx7man]

@@wynottgivemore9274 I'm in BC as well.. Yeah, it can be a LONG way between gas stations here, Long way to cell coverage too, and not much traffic to come along and help you out

[@stevekight1955]

All those brand new looking Jeeps make it look like a Jeep commercial....and then there is the Rudicon. Probably the most capable unit in the group. Great video. Thanks.

[@trubass75]

You definitely are your fathers son. Running out of gas. lol. Thanks for bringing us along Rudy.

[@ryanpaul5604]

Brent and Bandit seemed like they'd be great to be on the trail with. Cool guide and his jeep

[@Onebandit]

Thank you your welcome anytime

[@joeluebbert7153]

Rudy, you're a born story teller. That was very good. I thought you were going over when you were in that hole. All's well that ends well though. Brent needs a MORR t-shirt, cause he got em out. :)

[@olyj40]

Great ride Rudy thanks for taking us all along.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

That was an awesome adventure! Janelle did s fantastic job wheelin’! So, Rudy made a call……

[@wesallen4228]

A good jeep build makes the drive look easy. Nice.

[@ssnydertrucking1121]

Being a trucker for 30+ yrs i cant wrap my head around you being at a gas station fixing your trailer lights and not filling up with gas. Really you was right there, not cool. Looked like a cool trail ride. Thanks for sharing.

[@ken85225]

Ya...you're right....that is a bit baffling.

[@paulsmallriver6066]

It is logical to fill the tanks. One never knows what will happen in the boonies.

[@jackthomson73]

Wonder why they never carry extra gas. I see Brent had two fuel cans for his rig.

[@sharonnicholson3393]

That is definitely the best comment I've heard all year I've only been driving 5 years if I'm at a gas station getting a granola bar I'm going to fill up but I'm not mats son

[@sharonnicholson3393]

@@jackthomson73 that confuses me I don't know why they just didn't put the gas in Rudy's Jeep instead of towing it

[@logobaggins]

Great video! Glad that it's becoming the Janelle and Rudy channel. You two are great together.

[@rodney1818]

I just finished watching your dad's heavy wrecker video they really appreciate you you have such a great family

[@DiscoFang]

Hadn't seen this one. Love the way you presented this as narrator telling the story. On the sofa out in the landscape was cherry on top.

[@northerntrouble]

So Rudy, when is the bumper swing away get add!! So you can carry spare fuel?? I thought you may have learned better from your dad, about running on fumes!! Lol But that was an epic, three day adventure, thanks for taking your KZbin Community along! Janelle, did a amazing job driving the trail system. Glad to see both of you out enjoying life and have fun together..

[@Husky1run]

Great video with you and Janelle what's your doggie name

[@larrydavidson3402]

Great video Rudy, Janelle is a good driver on the tough trails, admire her for that.

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Rudy, JaNelle is a real treasure! No woman I've known would even go on a trip like that but getting stuck or running out of gas? I never would have heard the end of it! Looks like you've got the Rudycon ready to take on most any trail!

[@tak-el-uc]

The trailer wiring was trying to send you a message. It got you to stop at a Chevron station to fill the Rudicon tank but you missed the sign.

[@lalogarcia7172]

That was cool 👍 sorry to hear about you running out of fuel. Nice to have help around when you need it.

[@samthompson1270]

Rudy, that was your best video to date. You're starting to come into your own, so keep up the good work. JaNelle is doing great as well and gonna give you a run for your money on rock crawling. However, you ARE your fathers son when it comes to watching the fuel gauge. LOL That was some beautiful country you were in out there.

[@sharonnicholson3393]

In the year too she's definitely going to have a good rig five or 5 or 10 years Rudy's definitely going to have an all wheel steer buggy

[@sharonnicholson3393]

Sorry about that spell check hates me today

[@406Campr]

Rudy, great to see you and JaNelle adventuring together. Like father like son. Never have truer words been spoken. Thanks for sharing.

[@allover4309]

Way cool Rudy My ancestors used that trail. Now we're still in Arizona. I definitely have a new bucket list item. Thank you 👍

[@Djarvis2]

We actually passed a group of jeeps on their way out that were all dressed up like the pioneers. They told us they were all descendants of the Mormons that built the trail

[@mikeysais1980]

Just like another interesting Matt’s Off Road Recovery. Rudy passing out like Lizzy and running out of gas like his dad 😂 that trail looks really cool.

[@lynnmoore2664]

Thanks Rudy & JaNelle for letting me share your adventure on the hole in the rock jeep trail. The holland rock trail and the history of the mormons pioneers crossing is such a amazing story and site to see! Great content and story line along with the beautiful scenery makes for a very enjoyable video. Running out of gas will make your dad very proud of you for keeping with the family tradition!😀 So glad you decided to have this channel love your adventures along with your informative fabrication projects. Added to those is the very well done narration and creativity you put into each video.

[@amyhenderson812]

Thank you for showing us the wagon trail! We were in Bluff AZ at the museum and learned about the journey but to see the video of the area is pretty awesome! If you ever get back there stop in the museum and watch the video. They were crazy!

[@latu8923]

Thanks for taking us along Rudy and Janelle. Stunning views from that side of Lake Powell.

[@cliffcross6487]

Beautiful scenery. That's for taking us along.

[@johnsnyder1046]

Running low on fuel is a family tradition passed on by Matt 😂

[@jasonh4167]

Lol for christmas 5 gal. Jerry cans all around..😆

[@4wdtennessee459]

If they don’t put gas in the tanks then they’re not gonna fill the jerrycans lol

[@dalegereaux1863]

Maybe they could make the cameraman be responsible for reminding them to get gas. At least that way they would have someone to blame. 😂

[@tommcintyre5608]

Impressive that you were able to drive that far on half a tank. Something that you will remember next time and learn from. Probably end up helping somebody else in the same situation next time.

[@joshlottridge6953]

Great video Rudy. Glad your on your own. Please keep your videos real. No drama. Don't be like Dad. Fill up or carry extra gas. Stay safe.

[@gdpalmer]

I love the creativity. The couch with the sunset behind you as you narrated the trip. That concept add something that you do not typically see. It looks like a fun trip. There was a good mix or rock crawing and seeing the landscape aorund you. I love seeing some of nature on the trails. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rudy, what a great adventure. I did very similar things when I was a young man about your age. That’s been ~ 35 years ago now. But I’ve never stopped traveling. I’ve been all around the world.

That is a beautiful area/trail. Been there a couple of times. It's about as remote an area as you can find in the continental US. Gotta be prepared, fuel, water, whatever. You did the #1 thing IMO, you didn't go alone. That shelf road onto Grey Mesa has some pucker factor. The history of the Mormon pioneers that crossed that route is almost unbelievable. Our ancestors were hardier folk than people today.

Afflicted with the genetic predisposition to neglect the fuel tank. That was quite a pothole you almost lost the Rudicon in. Here in Michigan we don't have a problem with potholes that size. Here we make 'em so you can drive in one side and out the other. Great video Rudy!
