This was an outstanding event! I loved being there with you. xoxo

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

That was a great Jeep Invasion video walk around. Thank you for taking us there. Lets guess 74 ducks.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Little short on the ducks though.

[@carvingupthetrails7288]

Carver and I watched your video this morning in car line before he went to school. He had the biggest smile on his face getting out of Blue. Thanks again for taking time with him. He's told all his friends he met you.

[@SimplyMustGo]

That’s awesome!! I’m so glad he had a good time and liked the video!!

[@philhicks5107]

Great video of what happens there, you have me wanting to go there next year! 176 ducks

[@SimplyMustGo]

Super close! I hope I see you next year!

[@your2nd]

Glad to meet you and Jessica but it will be the last time I come to that event, everything too crowded . Just way too many people for such a small town , really sucked all the fun out of it. We left a day early and went back. Event would be better in a larger town and later in the year so a little cooler. Too hot , too crowded , too much traffic . This is our favorite area to vacation at and we have been here many times, but I will make sure nothing like this is going on when we return to enjoy this area. I overheard many locals complain of how over ran it was and I don't blame them and they should find a better place to have it next year.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Totally get it. It gets pretty crowded for sure! It was great meeting you! Hopefully we can meet up again in a less crowded spot!

[@mattwolfe1824]

Thanks for the great video! Your video from last years Jeep Invasion was the reason I made the decision to go this year! Loved seeing your Jeeps in person this year!

[@SimplyMustGo]

WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT! 🙏

[@mmmasterscross7915]

157 ducks Love your video! Keep us in the jeep Community up to date

[@SimplyMustGo]

Close, but not enough. I’ll be at invasion again. Working on a big trip video. But it’s taking forever to edit.

[@mmmasterscross7915]

I hope to be able to come.

[@ruggedridgeriders]

247 ducks. Man this past weekend was epic! It was great getting to meet you. Hope to see ya out of the trail sometime!

[@SimplyMustGo]

Great see you! I hope we can meet up again!

[@Wayfinder_JT]

Oh wow, I just recently started watching a few of your scx24 videos and didn’t realize you were a multi Jeep owner. We were there all last week and went to the show on Thursday. Booked our trip already for 2023!

[@SimplyMustGo]

Thank you! Yeah we will be there next year too! So, we’ll have to make sure to catch up there!

[@Wayfinder_JT]

@@SimplyMustGo sounds good man!! Better get to building the 1:10 replica of your JP Jeep! Lol I’m working on making a 1:24 replica of mine, just got to paint it.

[@SimplyMustGo]

@@Wayfinder_JT Yeah I need to add it to my to do list... it's getting long.. haha

[@domoniquemontoya2881]

🖐🏻Cool show .. My guess is 122 ducks for the JP wrangler

[@SimplyMustGo]

Thank you!! Good guess but too low.

[@seanmmonaghan]

So, um I started following you a few months ago and you have inspired me to get my own JP jeep. Always been a huge JP fan but this jeep journey I'm about to go down was inspired by Simply Must Go. I'll try to park it next to yours next year and see who gets more Ducks haha. Awesome Jeep man and great Channel.

[@SimplyMustGo]

DUDE! That's awesome! I can't wait to see it! If you park next to me, we'll have to get a sign that says, "They do move in herds". Haha!

[@itsthemulkeylife5419]

Go Tigers!

[@SimplyMustGo]

Haha. Go gamecocks!!

[@justinmercer2048]

The best thing about this event is all the Jeep owners it brings to one location. So cool to see so many Jeeps on the road or in the National park, in one place. Beyond that, the crowded isles, the heat, the stupid ducks are not really my thing. I attended in 2018 & 2019. I spent maybe 2 hours at the event in 18 and less than that in 2019. Last year I was in Gatlinburg but didn’t attend. One thing you didn’t see much of in 2018/19 are now KZbinrs filming the event but focusing on meeting other KZbinrs, ducks and sales pitches for products. Very little on Jeeps.

[@anthony84501]

130 ducks. Great video some day hope to meet you.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Yeah man! Hopefully one day we’ll make it work!

[@tristarOffroad]

That Jurassic XJ actually lives in my town because i parked next to him during jurassic world dominion at the drive in

[@SimplyMustGo]

That’s awesome! It’s a cool build!

[@russeagan7204]

Dude I tried to find you. I saw all your rigs but never could find you. Wanted to meet you.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Oh man! I’m sorry. Yeah I couldn’t keep still I was wondering around everywhere every day. Got like 16,000 sets a day. 😳

[@russeagan7204]

@@SimplyMustGo it's cool man. I get it. It was insane over the weekend. One day though.

[@aarons2952]

Maybe like 181 minus 2 ducks that left your jeep on the strip??? Lol. . . .

[@SimplyMustGo]

I think more than 2 left my Jeep on the strip.

[@JessicaJBrodie]

Lol perhaps!

[@GaryGill786]

Hi guys from where I can buy the flag pole for Jeep jl I have the flag pole mount

[@SCWanderer]

137 ducks. Did I miss you meeting Matt’s Off-road? I didn’t see it. I hate I didn’t make it up there. My wife’s employer had other plans for her sticking around :-( I thought it would be a good time to not spend hundreds of dollars. Also, Off-road n chill’s video of the line to get in scared me off! Wow! I’ll enjoy being there thru your video.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Haha. No you didn’t miss it, I just didn’t film it, but I got a photo. Also had a good time talking to Marlin from Off-road and Chill, but didn’t film that either. 🤦‍♂️

[@Robertslovefor4x4]

I think there was 87 ducks on the jeep

[@fxrsniper1]

I hate I didn't get to go this year jeep

[@SimplyMustGo]

Yeah it was a good time! Hopefully next year!

[@kenmichels3441]

157 Ducks

[@jbeaty6681]

147 Quackers

[@SimplyMustGo]

Close but short. 🐥

[@garryburrell954]

Have they set a date for next year?

[@SimplyMustGo]

Yes, they have the dates through 2026. gsmji.com/events/

[@SaltySeabee]

241 Patos

[@SimplyMustGo]

Good guess but not quite that many.

[@jeffrey3205]

I saw Matt's of Matt's of road picture in your thumbnail but I never saw the interview with him. What gives?

[@SimplyMustGo]

There was a huge line to see Matt’s off-road recovery, and they where trying to move people through quickly so that the line would keep moving. There wasn’t a chance to film with him, but I was able to get a photo.

[@BeavBrodie1]

what happens if I show up next year in a Land Cruiser? Do I get beat up? 🤣

[@SimplyMustGo]

Na, we’ll put a sign on it that says it identifies as a Jeep.

[@b16crxt]

Go gamecocks!

[@robertm731]

That music background is totally useless. It is distracting

[@SimplyMustGo]

I get it. But I didn’t have a choice. It was the only way I could drown out the ambient radio music playing and not get copyright flags.

[@gmac2057]

I'm all about Jeep events and gatherings, But do Not call this the BEST Jeep event of 2022, Its a jeep show... EASTER JEEP SAFARI is a REAL Jeep Event, nothing comes close to it!

[@robertm731]

I thought the music was bad until I realized all you're doing is hawking junk that no one really needs
