CK Yates yeah. I got super excited cause last time he said he was going to go back at it alone. Also in an older video he said he’d never get a rooftop tent
DM Guaranteed he’s not making the videos for himself. So therefore he does care. Reasoning...there’s ads, he monetizes, if he didn’t care then let us watch without ads.
I came from a dysfunctional family. Even though my father disliked me, I still miss him. I adopted both my severely mentally brothers and my lil sisters 4 kids, but you will never know that. My 9 kids are mostly grown now and I see the finish line. It took me a while to find my way...I don't know your past, but believe you have what it takes. Best wishes young man and find your peace
Kinsey is Jake's ex-girlfriend. And Kinsey's middle name is Jade, hence Jade the Jeep. The video is "her name is Jade" where he spoke about it. - You're welcome
i’m commenting before even watching the video so I might bite myself for saying this but.. he’s back and he’s not alone which I’m kind of weary about I was looking forward to the solo journey but I’ll be optimistic and see where this goes!
And specially since he just made a video he needed to go back to traveling alone to FIND him self. this will be the 3 time. all I see is crash and burn in the future no matter who is with him! If the had a jeep each I believe more in it. But 2 people and 2 dogs. Makes me wonder how fast he will wear down.
Welcome back! It's good to see some of your original joy back. I can't wait to see what this year has to bring. Thanks for sharing a window into your world and letting us all come along. -Matt
You sound so much better!!!!! Roof top tents are cool, but you might want to beef up the suspension a little bit depending on how much it weighs. I usually start commenting while watching your videos from beginning to end. Well, I just finished watching and I've got to say "Thank you!!" for including me in your journey. You've shared so much of your life with me, with everybody! When you're down we feel it and you're up we're happy. So thank you! Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
Aww I love this!! Kinsey used to live down the road from me and her sister and mine were good friends,I always knew she had an adventurer side to her!! Go girl!! This looks so amazing ❤❤
Not trying to hate because I'm glad to see you making videos and on the road again. You already did this twice though and it turned out badly. I hope it works out this time but it seems like you are doing the same things and expecting different results. I encourage you not to journey alone but they should really have their own rig in my opinion. Hopefully third time is a charm. Be safe out there.
Maybe even a bigger rig like a barn door suburban or jeep wagoneer. Then he can park jade for a while. That way they have more room. Or two vehicles would be good
Man it's good to see you out and hearing your story again. Very thought provoking. Maybe it's time I go out to a beautiful spot and say that I am ok with my Mom and Sister passing out loud. Or practice. Thanks Jake. Stay warm!
I'm so glad you're back Jake. Not just for my own happiness and pleasure of watching the video, but your happiness too. Safe travels! We're always here backing you up!
Read some history about the Lewis & Clark Overland trip President Jefferson sent them on and you were riding in a cruise ship compared to them. They had zero options about bailing out & hitting the sofa. Those guys were some serious hard asses! Happy Trails
Good to see you back Jake! I had just caught up with the videos, from starting at the beginning, and I was very sad to see the last video of last year. Hope you got the break you needed to feel refreshed and keep rolling.
Great to see you on the road again and happy Jake! Chattahoochee National Forest is pretty close by my house. It is an awesome place. Can't wait until you have meet up in GA. I have been waiting since you started them. Looking forward to more videos.
You need to get a good quality trailer to travel with, maybe a Smittybilt scout trailer. Also give yourself a break every four to six weeks by checking into a hotel or house. You don't have to live like you are in the sandbox anymore, you can rough it in style. I love those mountains in the NC, SC, GA, and TN. Beautiful area. Be sure to check out the Horse Pasture Road in South Carolina while you are in the area.
Glad to see you back and in a better place man, love you vlog and wish I could do what you're doing. No matter what though, doing what makes you happy is most important. Best of luck on the adventure, I know I'll be watching.
5:55 was the "well its not gonna be worse" face 😂 But in all seriousness I'm looking forward to following again and am glad you are in a much better place. Cant wait to take the jeep out to one of your get togethers!
Great to have you back! With all this company, sounds like a long wheel base LJ would help a lot. Maybe you could find one that needs a drive train and put Jades in it for cheap? Just a thought. Adventure Before Dementia!
I’m glad to hear you are back. Looking forward to your new adventures. Stay safe and well. Have fun and enjoy. If you are ever in West Ky and need a place to camp for a few days, my offer still stands.
Glad you are back! Live life to the fullest! Think hard about that rooftop tent. It adds weight, and will be a challenge on the trails. Have a blast, bud!
Oh my gosh! I'm sooo glad to hear from you! If you can get better and back to it... there's hope for me! Well for all of us. I still don't have a Jeep Wrangler style - got a new to me SUV! Dealing with my own heart and health issue. I will be back out before you know it! Big hugs. Simply Lesa
I must have missed it but where did you dump Ben’s body? Just didn’t hear/see what he’s going to be doing. Glad you’re back. Post when you can, we’ll all be here waiting for you.
So glad to see that you are back on the roads and trails. you look so much happier than before. Keep living the dream my friend. and thanks for bringing us with you.
Good to see you back at it. For your soft top woes...don't be ashamed to check ou t junkyards. I recently starting checking them out, and they're amazing, plus I think your viewers would get a kick out of it. Hope you and Ben patched things up.
Glad to see you coming down south! It’s too cold up there....anyways we have some great off-road parks and events. Here in north Alabama we have a few off-road groups that know you and would love to show you around!
Glad to see your back at it. You seem to be in a much better head space! Thanks for being real and vulnerable and letting us watch you grow. Come on back to AZ and get warmed up.
Jake, you're wise beyond your years, both from what you've learned on this trip and what you've learned about yourself and life. Keep charging, keep changing and keeptaking us with you as you keep learning.
Welcome back Jake and hello to your extended family. I am glad you got to keep up with your inner self and all the negatives going on. Dealing with the death of your father is one of the things that hit us all at some point, not a good time but glad you can now bring it up and deal with it in your way. Welcome back.
Good to see you back. Glad you took that vacation. And I say vacation because life on the road is your job. Everyone needs time away, to decompress, reflect, plan changes and to just get away from the daily commitments that take up all of our time. I can't wait for the new adventures and I look forward to when you make it to Texas.
He should hit Texas during "Jeep Go Topless Weekend" at Crystal Beach on Bolivar Peninsula (by Galveston Island)!! I guarantee he's NEVER seen anything like it!! Thousands of Jeeps on a 27-mile stretch of beach! .... 2019 is May 15- 19.
@@allwhowander6155 I don't know if I am going to hit it this year. Renting a place down there is a nightmare. And the cops are cracking down hard after the year before last when the drunk guy rammed the gas station killing that girl. I was in the gas station 5 minutes before it happened.
Good to see you back. What is Ben up to? It seems kid of nutty to try to carry so much stuff and people in that little Jeep. Ever consider a mandolin or maybe a fiddle or cherokee.
Well done Son, this is fantastic to see you on the up swing. Good luck back on the Road and nice to see you join the adventure Kensi. Jake call if you need anything...and welcome back...
For 2 people, 2 dogs and winter season your classic FSJ would have been better suited for the adventure, but that's just me. Hopefully, this year you will answer some of the comments and not just reply to the Patreon members. We are your poor loyal fans so it would be nice to see a comment every once in a while.
Sometimes a little break from things is a good way to evaluate yourself, evaluate where you want to go next. To get yourself grounded again! Glad to see you back Jake! Missed your regular videos. Wishing you continued safe travels with Jade, Annie, and your two new travel partners! :)
Great to see you again! Although I’m a bit older and in a different life direction, I really enjoy your vlog. If you ever plan to be in south Florida, we will support the jamboree!
Super happy to see you back at it! Glad your time off was cathartic! Here's hoping your new passengers will settle in and y'all can get Jade squared away! Welcome back Jake, keep up the awesome work!
You’ll love the RTT! I was full time traveling back and forth from Washington state to South Carolina for almost a year in my Land Rover disco 2. My RTT made all the difference. Just make sure you don’t cheap out with your tent! Glad to see you’re back.
Dude, Im from Wild Rose, WI. Army Vet and now live in Charleston, SC! love that you're back at it again. If you're ever down this way be sure to hit me up.
Glad to see you’re back on the road, it’s your life live it how you want, and thanks to you sharing your life with us we get to enjoy watching, travel safe and have fun!!
Good to hear from you Jake, We, ( the wife and I ) were starting to think you may have abandoned the road trip. Glad to see your back at it and still have someone with you for companionship. Hope to see you again when your back in the RI area!
Prayers always for ya, keep your heart up, and your head will follow. We appreciate you doing what you're doing. You are carrying a lot of us with you, and we enjoy every minute of it. :)
Damn I got super excited when he threw that passenger seat then disappointed when it was back in lol. Oh well
Kyldrn 1 right!!! Why even show it in the video but keep it in.
CK Yates yeah. I got super excited cause last time he said he was going to go back at it alone. Also in an older video he said he’d never get a rooftop tent
Kyldrn 1 right!! He keeps going back and forth. No wonder his 50 state road trip is taking for..evvv...errrr!!
My Monday just got brighter! Thanks Jake. Good to see you, Annie and Jade back on the road.
For the love of humanity, man... replace that softtop!!!
The stories of Jake Wettern. An off-road soap opera. I'm hooked!
"I don't expect people to understand...and I don't need them to" (+/- 11:25) Jake - that's brilliant!

You need a partner with their own rig. You have proven that Jade +2 does not work.
There's a high possibility that a girl without her own Jeep .... may not understand your lifestyle!
Kinsey is Jake's ex-girlfriend. And Kinsey's middle name is Jade, hence Jade the Jeep. The video is "her name is Jade" where he spoke about it. - You're welcome
Great to have you back. You're an artist, Jake. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I true overland channel. Not some rich guy with a 5th gen 4runner that buys every new overland product. Awsome channel
I think I know who you are talking about....and I agree. He does get obnoxious at times.
Swellrunner?

Art M why doesn’t he use up his dads life insurance money to get a good Jeep and good gear?!
Nice to see you back Jake! Good luck,enjoy and stay safe.
Aww I love this!! Kinsey used to live down the road from me and her sister and mine were good friends,I always knew she had an adventurer side to her!! Go girl!! This looks so amazing ❤❤
Is she independently wealthy?
This is awesome! So happy to see your face on RUclips again. Best of luck with your new adventure and thanks for taking us along

Sadly ... i agree also.
You sound so much better! Cant wait to see what comes. So glad you're back! I needed these vlogs in my life again!
Very happy to see you are yourself again and back on the road. Cheers Brother.
Man it's good to see you out and hearing your story again. Very thought provoking. Maybe it's time I go out to a beautiful spot and say that I am ok with my Mom and Sister passing out loud. Or practice. Thanks Jake. Stay warm!
I'm so glad you're back Jake. Not just for my own happiness and pleasure of watching the video, but your happiness too. Safe travels! We're always here backing you up!
Getting rid of the hard top was probably the biggest mistake imo
I tried to tell him that :-)
Read some history about the Lewis & Clark Overland trip President Jefferson sent them on and you were
riding in a cruise ship compared to them. They had zero options about bailing out & hitting the sofa.
Those guys were some serious hard asses! Happy Trails
Good to see you back Jake! I had just caught up with the videos, from starting at the beginning, and I was very sad to see the last video of last year. Hope you got the break you needed to feel refreshed and keep rolling.
Jesus Jake!! Your my favorite RUclipsr I've been subscribed before 5k but you need to come to my state before I leave for boot camp!! Love ya dude
Love watching the personal growth, this has been a saga of personal and emotional drama with a keeping overlanding setting. Keep it going
Great to see you on the road again and happy Jake! Chattahoochee National Forest is pretty close by my house. It is an awesome place. Can't wait until you have meet up in GA. I have been waiting since you started them. Looking forward to more videos.
It’s a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.
You need to get a good quality trailer to travel with, maybe a Smittybilt scout trailer. Also give yourself a break every four to six weeks by checking into a hotel or house. You don't have to live like you are in the sandbox anymore, you can rough it in style. I love those mountains in the NC, SC, GA, and TN. Beautiful area. Be sure to check out the Horse Pasture Road in South Carolina while you are in the area.
Glad to see you back and at it! Looking forward to this years content Jake!
Jake, I will say I am also at peace with my grandpa’s passing, and your speech gave me new ways to look forward this year, thank you.
Its great to have you back!
Really happy to see this video, that was a really nice montage of old memories too very cool, keep on keeping on jake!
So, glad you took time off! So, glad you are back on the road!!! See you out there!!!
Dude please just go back out alone, I miss it when you were solo
Great to see you back Jake. Really looking forward to watching more of your crazy Jeep adventures!

Shout out from nw Alabama and a former CJ3A and CJ5 owner. Great to see you back Jake! Keep on keeping on brother Semper Fi!
Glad you are back! Live life to the fullest! Think hard about that rooftop tent. It adds weight, and will be a challenge on the trails. Have a blast, bud!

Oh my gosh!
I'm sooo glad to hear from you! If you can get better and back to it... there's hope for me! Well for all of us.

Roof top asap... that will be a game changer.

Welcome back man! I agree, I think a rooftop tent will be ideal for your situation. Can't to see where the adventure in 2019 brings you :)
Glad to see you’re back! I was just two hours away from Chattahoochee yesterday.
I knew you would bounce back. Gotta finish the road trip. A cool video would be a recap of states that you've been. Like a highlight thing.
Glad you are back on the road brother. Happy you are feeling better. Now get to Florida. Can’t wait to meet you and Annie. Be safe on the road.
