I got talked into a 2 day hike from trilobite ridge to the springs at 56 years old. The "trail" turned into rock hopping and dry fall climbing. Day 1 I knew I was in trouble. The family I was with just "flowed" through everything, and I clunked along. It was at this point their cow dog decided it was not worth shadowing me and dropped me from the pack. Day 2 was a visit to petroglyphs bordering a dry lake. Figured no more challenges except following a trail up to a plateau and walk to the springs. The "trail" was total scree and steep. Their 15 minute ETA to the top took me 45. The springs were attained around sunset. We were catching our breath with our packs still on, and a car slowed down. The people were first timers, and asked where we had come from. I straightened up and pointed at the hills behind us. Eyes got wide and jaws dropped. That made the whole trip for me.
Oh this is a remaster....dude I thought I was having a major Deja Vu moment. The first 5 minutes were me just going, "I have seen this before. I know I have! We even talked about it when I met him in Moab!"
First off, let me thank you for how you broke the video down by attraction, man I wish everyone did this, AWESOME!! Great video and information, thank you for sharing.....
I escaped Kalifornia years ago - and Death Valley wheeling is really the only thing I mis (well, that and the Mojave Rd). Like you, it was a place of solitude for me. Your vid brought back some great memories! Thanks.
You're very much appreciated, Jason. Life's hard and taking the time to care for yourself is huge. Thank you for being so real. Btw, this was as good the second time as it was the first time I watched it!
Hey Jason! Thank you!!! Because of my work I am not able to watch every video right when you drop them, but once I do I absolutely binge them! Love your positivity and I can’t even begin to tell you how your vids have helped me! Love for Kelowna B.C !
Great camerawork, editing and narration made it feel like we were riding shotgun. I’ve been exploring California’s gems by Jeep, and now a GX and DS bike for nearly 50 years. The deserts are my happy place and we’ve spent many birthdays covered in dust dancing around a campfire under the stars and satellites. Looks like you’ll chronicle more like this. Keep on keeping on.
This is such an awesome video. You really nailed the feeling of the trip and it’s making me so excited to get back to Death Valley when all the roads start opening up again. Thanks for the great video, and hope to see more like this one.
What a great trip Jason! That looked so relaxing just driv8ng along and taking in views! Thank you for sharing! I love just taking a drive to clear my head!
Before I started off roading I got a flat tire on a rental car on Racetrack Road. I only had a donut for a spare and it took me eight hours but I made it back to the crater on the donut. I couldn't go faster than about three miles per hour for the majority of the drive. Asphalt never felt so good when I got to the crater. I made it back to Death Valley Junction to spend the night and then back to Vegas to exchange the rental car... LOLLL I learned a lot from that experience and now have the right vehicle when I go out there.
I’ll always stay watching, brother! I love your content and charismatic personality! You never act like you’re an expert know it all, you just show us the things you do and how you do them. Sweet rig and keep on trucking!
I had a WJ and loved it because of your first death valley video. Now I have a JKU like yours, and it's getting a full metal cloak from my local shop this month. One day I'll do the death valley trail. Love your content man thanks for the videos!
This was a beautiful video to enjoy with my coffee on a Saturday morning. Must have missed it the first time so glad you reuploaded. Hope you are well!
I watch your videos because you are who you are. I love seeing genuine people still out there in the world. I relate to your struggles and emotions. I can see you have had some hurt in your life recently. I love seeing you push through it and keep living. Keep up the content. We appreciate it
Happy B-day!!! "Cheap Beer in an Exotic location" Perfect. Yes, more of these vignettes please. Your presentation style is very enjoyable and engaging.
Happy belated birthday kid and I get it sometimes you are much better off celebrating on your own. Trust me I just hit my 59th and I would have enjoyed celebrating mine out in the middle of no where. Great video and thanks for sharing!
I"ve done Lippincott and Steel Pass twice going the other direction. Cool to see it from your vantage point. Looked like a great trip. Thanks for sharing.
Now that is how to celebrate you're birthday happy birthday Jason awesome just absolutely Awesome would love to go there someday, you're jeep is cool I've watched you build it up from stock to the beast it is now keep up the great work 👍🏻 🍻🎉🎊
Appreciate you, Jason. Got scammed the other day by "AutoEdits1". I thought it was you reaching out directly...turns out it wasn't :). Keep doing what you're doing. My friend and I are planning this exact trip this winter, so I was excited to see you do it first.
Really sorry to hear you got scammed. I'll never reach out other than directly through email. I really hope you do this trip... it is such an amazing place!
The washboard road to the racetrack was an absolute dashboard shaker in my 4.5" lifted short arm 2006 LJ. I look forward to going back in my Gladiator.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Grew up in Southern California and always enjoyed dirt biking through desert areas. Would love to drive back in my Jeep and go to the areas you went to. What caused me to pause the video is the background of when you are filling with gas and seeing the gas prices. WOW. Sticker shock, I realize that was from 2022 but still. Again great video thanks for putting it together.
Happy birthday wish a beautiful and long life your videos are very inspiring, I love your Jeep and the way you build it, I hope you use the drone a lot so we can enjoy the beautiful places you visit, thanks 👍
Hi Jason... Excellent videos! I stumbled onto your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching at work. Don't tell my boss, Ha Ha. I drive a 2013 Rubicon with a manual that I purchased new almost 10 years ago. I am also in my 50's so we have a lot in common except I do not have the coolest car in the world, an all original 65 corvette. Keep the videos coming, I really enjoy riding along!
The National Park Service told me it was no bueno to make a fire in the Geologist’s Cabin fireplace when I called them a bit ago. I cannot confirm nor deny that on a rainy day in 2019 a blazing fire was a Godsend to keep one off-roarer from freezing to death as there was snow just 1,000 feet up the hill.
I don't think I have watched every video you put out, but I will. I can say with confidence, this was the best!! Below the commenter Luke Fitzpatrick said this was just as good the second time. I'm going to watch it again after giving you this comment!! 4K is nice, but you seemed in the zone, in your element, and just very comfortable telling this story! I guess what I'm saying is that content is good, but great storytelling gets you to 500K... You just did an excellent job of making me think I was riding Shotgun..... I see you at 500K very soon. Thank you again for the ride along!!! And Keep us entertained!!
I'm so happy to hear this feedback. I like to think that I'm bringing you guys with me and for you to get that impression means you did! Thanks for coming along!!!
Hey Jason, Happy Birthday belated of course, the first video I watched was the GC trip from Las Vegas when your had the smashed exhaust. It was the Kinda thing that happens on my adventures.
@@AutoEdits I have to make a correction… I forgot about putbull alarm clock… that might of been the first…. I have a poodle/schnauzers mix that wakes me up a little early every morning…. I pet her and say “snooze Mandy”. She usually goes outside and barks as the snoozed alarm. Anyway, keep it coming! Are you still working for motor trend?
Thanks for sharing your adventures. Your authentic enthusiasm is great to see. We all need ways to de-stress, decompress and refresh. My Jeep and paintball are my therapy. I think I need to change my T-case fluid, if I could only find that 10mm....
Happy birthday. Keep after it!! I learned all kinds of stuff watching your videos. Like if I’m under my Jeep I should always clean those fun bits and also to be careful around compressed coil springs because they want to murder me and that would would be bad. Good looking out.
I’ve been watching for years love your videos! Every time you have a video in Death Valley I want to plan a trip with my Jeep! Video looks great in 4K👍
Jason thanks for this video new to the channel spend some time watching some of the how to videos and I must say I've enjoyed a lot sounds like he took a hiatus and now you're back glad to see that keep the videos coming
Happy birthday, Jason! Great work as always. I really enjoy watching your videos and “getting to know you” as much as one can through TH-cam videos. You seem like a great person, keep up the fantastic work!

Oh this is a remaster....dude I thought I was having a major Deja Vu moment. The first 5 minutes were me just going, "I have seen this before. I know I have! We even talked about it when I met him in Moab!"
HA! Yeah, sorry about that... just had to see this through to full resolution... literally 😂
Hahaha, I’m so on board. I swore I saw this before. 😂
I did this in July years ago, drove from Vancouver Canada to escape the rain. I love this place. It was HOT! I did MOAB as well. Thanks for the Video.
(7.55) for gas? Nutz! I enjoy your videos!
Thanks!
First off, let me thank you for how you broke the video down by attraction, man I wish everyone did this, AWESOME!! Great video and information, thank you for sharing.....
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hard for me to imagine depending on a jeep after being stranded so many times in my old Cherokee and never once in my Toyota….. maybe one day😂
Bring some tools and head on out there!
Awesome solo production! Very nice delivery and flow of everything.... information, emotions, all of it! Thank you!
Hey, thanks so much for the feedback!
Don't care that this is a remastered "re-upload" Always enjoy watching quality content. The Jeep is cool, and your a good Show host.
I appreciate that! 🙌
2:05 we appreciate you actually!! Keep up the great work, and thanks to you for bringing us with you on these cool adventures.
I appreciate that so much!!!
I escaped Kalifornia years ago - and Death Valley wheeling is really the only thing I mis (well, that and the Mojave Rd). Like you, it was a place of solitude for me. Your vid brought back some great memories! Thanks.
Happy Birthday , thanks for being. Greetings from Poland
Love this, thank you!
If anything I need to do to help you is watching your great videos, then it's my pleasure!
You're the best!
Worth the remaster in 4K - takes me right back to our trip together.
Thank dude! I hope we get to hit the trail again soon.
You're very much appreciated, Jason. Life's hard and taking the time to care for yourself is huge. Thank you for being so real.
Btw, this was as good the second time as it was the first time I watched it!
Ah dang... thank you! So glad folks like you are here to share this with!
Hey Jason! Thank you!!! Because of my work I am not able to watch every video right when you drop them, but once I do I absolutely binge them! Love your positivity and I can’t even begin to tell you how your vids have helped me! Love for Kelowna B.C !
You rock! Thank you!
Feb '69 here.
Thanks for sharing your journeys!
You are so welcome!
Watch every one!..love the jeep videos!…I love In Ohio…I wish I had that kind of wheeling here!
Happy to hear this, thank you!
Great camerawork, editing and narration made it feel like we were riding shotgun. I’ve been exploring California’s gems by Jeep, and now a GX and DS bike for nearly 50 years. The deserts are my happy place and we’ve spent many birthdays covered in dust dancing around a campfire under the stars and satellites. Looks like you’ll chronicle more like this. Keep on keeping on.
I like how you describe the desert life... thank you for coming along on this trip and hope to catch people like you out in the dirt!
This is such an awesome video. You really nailed the feeling of the trip and it’s making me so excited to get back to Death Valley when all the roads start opening up again. Thanks for the great video, and hope to see more like this one.
I lived in Vegas for many years and never knew that area was so cool ! Awesome
glad you came along!
Got a Jeep for my first car two years ago and that’s when I started watching your channel, I’ve been watching every video since! Love the vids 🎉
That is awesome!
I appreciate you too Jason 👍
Thank you!
With the recent heat wave in Cali I was thinking to myself there’s no way he just went out there! Ha ha. The remaster looks great
Thank you!
Yet another good vid .Happy birthday fellow jeeper.
Thanks 👍
Great video brother, it was like being there with you 👍🍺
Glad you enjoyed it... happy to hear this!!!
What a great trip Jason! That looked so relaxing just driv8ng along and taking in views! Thank you for sharing! I love just taking a drive to clear my head!
Yeah buddy!

That sounds like a heck of an adventure... glad it worked out in the end!!!
Happy Birthday (Mine was in June), and Welcome to Club 53. Enjoy your Year Long Membership.😆
Thanks and slow down with that year long thing... LOL!!!
I’ve watched this video in the past but I’m watching again since it’s so good!
I appreciate it... was unfinished business for me to see it in full resolution!
I’ll always stay watching, brother! I love your content and charismatic personality! You never act like you’re an expert know it all, you just show us the things you do and how you do them. Sweet rig and keep on trucking!
Thank you ... I'll keep trying!
That is a fun run-did it with my stocked 88 4×4 Toyota truck!
Nice!

Great video and thanks for sharing!
Right on... thank you!
Nice job! I've been to Death Valley twice, but still have so much more to see!
I've been going for decades and there's still more for me to explore! Just got to keep getting out there.
Noice! Always enjoy watching your adventures!
Glad you like them!
Great way to celebrate your Birthday, Man.
Congratulations
Thank you so much 😀
Great videos, Jason! I've been following for years. Now have my own Wrangler JK and can't wait to get out and enjoy my drive!
Right on! 👍
I"ve done Lippincott and Steel Pass twice going the other direction. Cool to see it from your vantage point. Looked like a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

Really sorry to hear you got scammed. I'll never reach out other than directly through email. I really hope you do this trip... it is such an amazing place!

Ah man... thanks!
Thanks for the adventure
Thanks for coming along!
alles gute zum Geburtstag / Happy birthday and greetings from germany :)
Thanks so much!
The washboard road to the racetrack was an absolute dashboard shaker in my 4.5" lifted short arm 2006 LJ. I look forward to going back in my Gladiator.
Oh yeah... world of difference! Long wheelbase and mid length arms from the factory!
Thanks for taking us on this trip, Jason!
Glad you came along! Thanks!
and a Happy belated Birthday!
Thank you!
Belated Happy Birthday brother. I enjoy your videos as always. Be safe out there.
Thanks! Will do!
Happy birthday, followed you right from the start. Well done.
Howdy and thank you!
Always enjoy watching your videos. Grew up in Southern California and always enjoyed dirt biking through desert areas. Would love to drive back in my Jeep and go to the areas you went to. What caused me to pause the video is the background of when you are filling with gas and seeing the gas prices. WOW. Sticker shock, I realize that was from 2022 but still. Again great video thanks for putting it together.
Thanks for coming along! Get out there!
Nice job! Looks like some fun exercise for the Jeep. I am not quite as brave yet. Maybe our newly acquired Jeep will train us. 🙂
Have fun out there!
Happy birthday wish a beautiful and long life your videos are very inspiring, I love your Jeep and the way you build it, I hope you use the drone a lot so we can enjoy the beautiful places you visit, thanks 👍
Thank you! Will do!

HBD young man!
Why thank you!
Great video! Texas boy here planning a trip to DV next spring.
You’re in for a treat.
Happy Birthday! Cheers! 🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
Pretty cool trip. I too enjoyed my trip to Death Valley last year.
Yeah!
At first I didn't understand and I was like where are the BF Goodrich 😄. Great video dude, keep it up!!! Cheers from Panamá 🇵🇦
Yeah, sorry about the brain scramble... just had to get this out in full resolution once I learned how!
We love you and your videos! Keep them coming! Saludos de las vegas! Feliz cumpleaños!
Howdy and thank you!
Can't wait to do that trip. Thank you so much for those videos, because of you I have some much saved spots on my Google map to go visit. Thanks again
Great to hear!
Happy late birthday bro! Loved the video!
Thank you so much 😃 You actually got me really close to this years bday!
Enjoyed as much the second time around as the first. Definitely my favorite types of videos.
Thank you, I love hearing this! I wish I could get more views on these but I'll keep trying.
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy birthday man🎉
Never get old👌👍
Thanks!
The National Park Service told me it was no bueno to make a fire in the Geologist’s Cabin fireplace when I called them a bit ago. I cannot confirm nor deny that on a rainy day in 2019 a blazing fire was a Godsend to keep one off-roarer from freezing to death as there was snow just 1,000 feet up the hill.
Yeah, it's safer for all the cabins to be careful but sometimes conditions aren't kind!
Really appreciate your videos Jason. Thank you.
This means a lot, thank you!
Happy Birthday Jason it looks like your day was good! Love your content and look forward to every video..
Thanks!
Happy birthday
Thanks!
Thank you for this. This just gave me something to look forward to…
Glad!
I don't think I have watched every video you put out, but I will. I can say with confidence, this was the best!!
Below the commenter Luke Fitzpatrick said this was just as good the second time.
I'm going to watch it again after giving you this comment!!
4K is nice, but you seemed in the zone, in your element, and just very comfortable telling this story!
I guess what I'm saying is that content is good, but great storytelling gets you to
500K...
You just did an excellent job of making me think I was riding Shotgun.....
I see you at 500K very soon.
Thank you again for the ride along!!!
And Keep us entertained!!
I'm so happy to hear this feedback. I like to think that I'm bringing you guys with me and for you to get that impression means you did! Thanks for coming along!!!
Happy birthday bro!!!
Thanks so much dude!
WOW! Epic video. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Hey Jason, Happy Birthday belated of course, the first video I watched was the GC trip from Las Vegas when your had the smashed exhaust. It was the Kinda thing that happens on my adventures.
HA! That was a fun one... thanks for still being here!
@@AutoEdits I have to make a correction… I forgot about putbull alarm clock… that might of been the first…. I have a poodle/schnauzers mix that wakes me up a little early every morning…. I pet her and say “snooze Mandy”. She usually goes outside and barks as the snoozed alarm. Anyway, keep it coming! Are you still working for motor trend?
4K Looks Great!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your adventures. Your authentic enthusiasm is great to see. We all need ways to de-stress, decompress and refresh. My Jeep and paintball are my therapy. I think I need to change my T-case fluid, if I could only find that 10mm....
HAHA! Thanks dude!!!
It was a great video first time around but it’s definitely richer in colour and contrast this time 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Made me crazy to see the low bitrate version drop out details so I just had to repost with all the resolution!
Happy birthday. Keep after it!! I learned all kinds of stuff watching your videos. Like if I’m under my Jeep I should always clean those fun bits and also to be careful around compressed coil springs because they want to murder me and that would would be bad. Good looking out.
HA! Great to hear this from ya!
Beautiful Jeep, awesome Video! And happy Birthday, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for coming along!
Thanks for taking us along Jason and Happy Birthday! The desert calls, we must listen.....
Truth!
Greatest youtube channel hands down, love the solo jeep adventures... more please!!!!!!
Thanks! Will do!
I’ve been watching for years love your videos! Every time you have a video in Death Valley I want to plan a trip with my Jeep! Video looks great in 4K👍
Thanks, I know it's confusing but it really made me happy to see it through in hi-def!
Happy Birthday, Jason!!!!!
Thank you... 🤣🙌 Still applies!!!
Happy birthday!! Next time consider Surprise Canyon / Chicken Rock.
Great suggestion! I haven't done Surprise Canyon in over a decade. Where is Chicken Rock?
Jason thanks for this video new to the channel spend some time watching some of the how to videos and I must say I've enjoyed a lot sounds like he took a hiatus and now you're back glad to see that keep the videos coming
Howdy and welcome aboard! Thanks so much for the kind comment and I've got a few more videos coming up!
Happy birthday, Jason! Great work as always. I really enjoy watching your videos and “getting to know you” as much as one can through TH-cam videos. You seem like a great person, keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you very much!
