Winter camping in 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

[@tonytrumble]

Jack Whitaker, a young man with an old soul!

[@jeffreyhale3259]

Jack, My wife and i have been following your awesome parents since we found the KZbin channel during Covid back in 20. We dont miss an episode. Our kids are now grown like you and your siblings. So its strange how we consider y'all like our own having watched you grow up. You're a smart and motivated guy. Stay strong and you'll find your soulmate. And keep listening to Marty Robbins!

[@gooner1ization]

Great comment. I've been watching since the the channel pretty much started and totally see what you mean.

[@jfxl1977]

I know we only got a couple of songs, but based on those, great road trip playlist! Glad you made it home safe! Love the adventures and hope to see many, many more!

[@ralfretter5674]

NEVER Ever roll down a pass in Neutral.....❤

[@ibrahimjaafil1486]

man i love ur music taste, every time i watch one of ur videos my playlist gets bigger

[@sheRoyals]

I love watching your adventures, Jack! Your parents must love getting to see all their kids thrive so well with life. Hang in there kid! Enjoy that family it’s a wonderful gift!

[@jeffosborne1147]

Great video capt Jack. I’m ready to see you on the water again. Have a good time

[@shauncraigparkinson8165]

The quality of your video making, and story telling is superb.

[@rodneyyoung666]

Nice to see smiles on all your faces. Thanks Jack for bringing us along.

[@VonBluesman]

That Land Cruiser is in great shape. I used to have a red one. That is a vehicle that can last you a lifetime. You can get an aftermarket windshield wiper motor. My Dad used to get a dealers discount on all parts, that is the only way I could afford to rebuild a lot of it. One cool thing is if you are a hunter, you can put it in low gear to help spot deer tracks. It goes slower than normal walking speed. They are not built for highway speed as you have found out but with mud grips it is almost impossible to get one stuck. Sorry about your love loss. Stay busy, keep your mind occupied, exercise, keep eating healthy. Prayer and reading your Bible will help get you through it Jack. Heartache sucks, especially when you are young but it helps develop character and is part of life. Stay strong. 👍🙏✌

[@mildredwest2541]

God's country. ❤ that you've in the warm arms of family.

[@marcopereiraoficial]

The views , the choice of music ❤ loved everything. Soooory for your break up bro!!

[@Michiganbartman]

Love the America soundtrack. Classic! Thanks for your channel.

[@DEW409]

Back when music was actually something worth listening to.

[@AhrnNilsson]

Bro, don't feel lonely. You always have me here watching from a land far, far away! Music taste 10/10 couldn't do better myself! You did do this trip on hardcore mode for sure! 😂

[@DougVarble]

The music was outstanding on this video🎉

[@djoldskool5763]

1:59 It’s so nice and comfy watching you, Jack, from a recliner in a gas heated home while I look out the window at a snowy New England landscape. Thanks for taking us along on this and your other adventures. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@edwardsepulvado8617]

The soundtrack...YEESSSSSSSS!👍🤟

[@carlportland]

This Rock really sticks out of the water. Thanks for the ride along. Know this - you are loved by many

[@polonama8750]

Great video, so peaceful with great music. Thank you for sharing your story.🙂

[@danielboudreau6680]

One of your best videos so far. I know it took a lot out of you, but it was a very worthwhile watch.

[@allenclark1914]

Very good video, and perfect music choice. Si happy you made it safe with as few problems as possible. Can’t wait to see what is next for you.

[@mm78704]

Thanks Jack for another interesting and fun video. Those camping locations were sweet. I liked your line "slow time for a long time."

[@loushawl6721]

So glad you made it! You’re an old soul for sure.

[@Ovnah]

Jack your character speaks volumes man thanks for always being real an brining us along ocean man 🎶!

[@jacksmith3541]

Wow what a beautiful drive and beautiful ride. Thanks Jack for taking KZbin along.

[@sherribowers3113]

Always look forward to your videos, love the adventures especially your music choice. Happy New Year Jack to you and your family.

[@4randyphillips]

Thanks for sharing, I absolutely love the views. I also love your sound track.

[@donras564]

Well Jack, I resonate with ya! It’s only when we are alone and filled with silence do we see life and wonder about our direction and what really is important. God speaks the loudest in these times. Good to see your family at the end!

[@ryanseegers8968]

I love that you left in that you had to go get your camera after the shot. This is the first time I've seen someone break the fourth wall in a since and showed someone grabbing the camera afterwards.

[@shades1959]

Looked like a fun road trip. The music brought back many memories from my life in the 70s.

[@user-wg5dm6oc3t]

A cross country trip with your siblings and the friends you had on the boat would be interesting to watch.

[@greathornedowl3644]

Thank you for sharing your life and your journey. I love the Land Cruiser - great choice. Keep living every young persons dream, and not being chained to a desk, computer, and cellphone in mind-numbing (florescent lights, HVAC humming) emotionally draining office

[@cindyblair1283]

Yeah got to see the whole family!! So happy you made it home safely Jack see ya on the next adventure!

[@samridhkharbat]

its good to see that you also watch videos from dry creek wrangler school. He has taught me so much about life.

[@wesleyparker9568]

Thanks Jack for all the great vids they always put me and my sons in a great mood we love u and your family we have been zatara and fin and jack video watchers lol just waiting on Kate's adventures weather it's with u or fin or by herself we love you guys thanks from wesley in mobile alabama

[@SailingZatara]

❤❤❤

[@boundlessbooks-3666]

Prayers up big dawg, you’ll make it thru. Let the heartbreak fuel you God bless

[@djoldskool5763]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As one who has experienced many backpacking adventures and overland cross country trips solo, this video reminds me of the feelings of isolation and awe of the immensity of the Great American West. Thank you, Jack, for sharing your feelings and images. I know you are very thankful for having a family who will leave the light on for you at the end of the journey.

[@waltervanderboor]

Great video Jack.

[@joywhite2447]

Loving the music. Loving the update. ❤❤

[@marymostholymotherofgod8777]

Jack, I love your old soul. You're as much a seaman as you are an adventurer, enjoy your young life, and stay close to God so He can help to replace human loneliness, and coming from someone who has seen life, being comfortable in the company of yourself is the greatest experience. I Love your choice of music, all the best for this New Year 2025! Enjoyed this video very much 🙏 God bless from the Caribbean.

[@j.m.3460]

Love watching you learn through direct experience. Nothing like a solo adventure to put yourself to the test 🛣️

[@chadmark88]

Seeing AMERICA . . listening to AMERICA . . it can't get any better than THAT, Jack !!!

[@julieford1182]

I see what you are doing with the driving music. You played a classic 1970's song in the ultimate mid 1970's Land Cruiser. My generations songs and bands are the best traveling songs. I also appreciate that Keith and Renee taught you to drive a manuel transmission.

[@SailingZatara]

Our kids have such good taste in music…. they are old souls 🎶💕

[@midousmi8216]

could u tell me whats the name of the music please

[@Racerman27410]

Stay on the path brother.. everything you need will come to you.

[@AzBob01]

That last drive was a long one, but you made the right decision. Glad you stayed awake until you got to the cabin. Boy, your mom was really glad to see you. Always keep that family closeness because family is everything.

[@robertaxford7527]

I can't click on it fast enough every time one of your videos pop up already can't wait for the next one

[@kennygrz]

one of my favorites from you, just feels so raw

[@dragnfli520]

Not used to seeing you camping on the HARD... With layers of clothes on... Love your music by America! 🎶

[@arlenepuente]

great song choice I really enjoyed this type of video very relaxing, thanks!

[@DakotaCulton]

Love your videos can’t wait to graduate in May and start my adventures

[@kroge007]

Loved your music choices on your trip!

[@smulismuli7976]

One of the best cars ever build

[@robinwbarrett]

Stunning scenery Captain Jack ❤

[@lucgrenier6031]

Great editing ! Funny how you were a little boy not too long ago been following the family forever! Keep going love the music covers when well done thanks for the ride!

[@SailingZatara]

Time sure flies doesn’t it!?! ❤

[@Tronald81]

Lots of good times on these roads! Enjoy sir!

[@MrKnotWright]

Rain X is your best friend when you wipers quit. I used it driving my fire truck back from Chicago.

[@MrBeachie111]

Jack love the real you and appreciate your honesty and always being transparent about how you really feel >> wonderful vlog too mate , come back to Australia soon and you will really see some diversity

[@LeonardLee-x9x]

Cruiser looks immaculate

[@RickLandeau]

Good job making home. Glad to see you reunited with the family. ❤😊 Rick

[@KristaLinford]

So glad you made it home safely.

[@tcudad50]

Glad you made it safely to Montana!

[@KarenKaiser]

Great video. Love your family dynamics.

[@TheGolopablo]

Jack...Rain-X works great on windshield if your wipers break down....keep always on board

[@firstlast1047]

That was great Jack. You handled it well. I did the same,except in summer, sleeping in a pup tent, from Philadelphia to Idaho; except i had my significant other with me.

[@carllindemann4891]

Another great video

[@willslever8112]

Fantastic skills as a videographer, future career !!

[@carlportland]

Grief is the work through all big losses. You Will Grow from this

[@daphnehiep1592]

jack you are my comfort youtuber!! i love ur content so much. Keep it up man!! :)

[@Asta-wl8jz]

Love your music choices....

[@marylynnbehrens5562]

Jack it would help if you put cardboard or newspaper under your tent at night it would keep you a lot warmer.

[@10GOLDENWOOD20]

AWESOME trip! Thanks for the ride. Glad to hear you're safe with your family. Have a great 2025.

[@dennisrobinson4588]

Hello Jack. Watching the video reminds me of trips I have taken before especially when I was young. I loved traveling in winter because there were less people to worry about. It was colder but who cares. Just a suggestion Jack, buy some lip balm. It does work! Enjoy the snow and the cold. Thanks

[@gordonhemenover9598]

Thanks for bringing us with you.

[@Firenicely]

Hey Jack ur a certified legend

[@FloridaGirlAdventures]

Type "B" fun lol - LOVE the FJ and you too - lol thanks for the great content, stay safe!

[@johndrews206]

6:03. I feel ya brother. You're not alone.

[@GR8TDUCK]

Jack! Stay warm!

[@North_Texas_HeartBreakers]

Great music, man!!! Awesome choices!! Enjoyed it a lot!!

[@blossom_n_gin]

Really enjoyed this video - on to the next adventure!

[@susanlassiter6494]

63 year old woman here, and I love cold camping! Bŕrrrrrr ps my hubby thinks I'm nuts lol

[@PamelaKaisner-wf5bx]

Yes I agree Jack and Glory would be a great couple.

[@jameshardman7536]

All do respect I feel Gloria is kinda like a free loader and everything she has and has done has been because of others. But I'm just over protective person

[@fayepotts3279]

Just one word to you Jack, Glory.

[@samstetson7252]

No way

[@timingram4516]

I enjoy your adventure ....I too do it , but mine is in more populated areas ....I am old and don't want to get caught in an isolated area by myself . Enjoy , be safe !

[@merlinbroaddus]

Second time, you need to have TWO tents, put the little tent up inside the bigger tent. Second, FT Garland is very close to where I grew up. If you went up Hwy 285, you went over Poncha Pass, 5 miles from Salida!!! But you probably turned west at Saguache. Beautiful country!!! Remember, TWO TENTS

[@seleen7828]

woow perfect timing i was about to have dinner

[@KenG....]

Good vlog, Captain!

[@Josh-q1l3r]

You'll find that special person, captain Jack. Keep your chin up.

[@dropdead266]

He’s literally 21. He will be fine

[@dropdead266]

He’s literally 21. He will be fine

[@kt49erfan]

Love your song choices!

[@jeffreysimmons6105]

Thanks for bringing me along. I felt cold with you in the tent although I was sitting on my sofa in a heated apartment with a throw blanket over me. Sorry to hear about your break up, and I know it hurts, but listen to Garth Brooks song,"Unanswered Prayers." Keep on being honest and filming these types of videos for us, your fans. May God bless.

[@mattferguson7881]

Good job

[@irishsailor9327]

Sorry to hear about your breakup. I thought you two were really meant for each other and maybe you still are. God Spead young man.

[@davidkarr5015]

Well accomplished Jake

[@stevekile1919]

Somebody's an America fan ‼

[@andytrujillo2935]

fun road trip

[@jeffa5524]

Really enjoyable video. It feels like a documentary, so we'll polished it feels like we're there with you. You have a bright future. Sorry about Mckenzie. I'm sure you will make many special friendships in the future. Thanks for bringing us on your journey. Best of luck with everything.

[@billlee536]

So crazy, I live in Colorado and have watched your sailing videos !! Welcome to the land locked state

[@NCMTNBOY]

Check the fuse, FJ's don't break. Very cool trip, sorry about your girl.

[@richsarchet9762]

I have a warm house with a couple empty bedrooms and a hot shower not 10 miles from where you camped in the desert north of GJ,, but I guess that would have taken most of the adventure out of your adventure. GJ to Idaho Falls is a long drive that I have done in winter, that stretch from Ashton ID to Island Park MT can be a real experience!

[@bhager1945]

Good tunes great cruiser. Glad to see you out learning on your own.. that rig isn’t good on slick without being in 4x4..keep the greasey side down..

[@nichoth1]

Jack, pay heed to the warnings on not being in neutral. You need to use the resistance of the engine and transmission to provide most of the control your downhill speed, and only sparingly use the brakes. Brakes only is how you burn them out and die.

[@djahant]

Jack, you need to prepared for that cold weather. You seemed to be under equipped for that. Next time, please bring a Jackery and Buddy heater or something. You can die from hypothermia when you sleep, I'm sure you know. On another note, sorry about Kenzie and it's not easy. Really enjoyed the soundtrack so much.

[@patriciabowe2817]

Keeping it real! Love that❤
