At one time I believed that this overlanding/jeep family was something I wanted to be a part of, but after to many bad experiences with other jeep owners, KZitemrs that have quit the fallowing I’ve found out the hard way that all these people care about is SUBSCRIPTIONS, and that’s sad because there’s a lot of people here just looking for someone to meet up with from time to time for a trail ride. I’ve enjoyed watching your videos along with a few other KZitem channels and hope that you let those that follow you know that they are appreciated.

Safety first ALWAYS and trip leader took accountability-think this may have been providence in disguise. It happens but that is part of the adventure part. Having fellow adventurers with you adds to experience and then you come back at it again with the experience gained and a revised plan. This is one reason I would love for the Jeeper groups across nation to be on a registry to assist each other when travelling on unfamiliar territory. Bad weather always has to be carefully monitored as how that weather will impact travel. Great video and keep up the good work. Always: first aid kit, first aid training. extra water, extra fuel, recovery kit, tools and a few spare parts (like JK plastic 4-wheel drive engagement bushing) and ability to change tires on the trail. SAT phone is a nice luxury. And winches. You know all of this-share with others who adventure the trail. Great stuff guys !😁
