- The day in the life living full time on the road overlanding in my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ
My name is John and I am 64 years old I and live out of my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ overlanding full time Fly fishing, Hiking Backpacking and exploring our country.
Freedom, freedom, love to be in your shoes, your setup is easy simple and relaxing, love it love it.happy trails
Hey John , nice to meet you! I'm Bob, and I just turned 60. I have a 96 Cherokee. You and I hopefully we can be friends. I will be following you. I love to fish too!
I’m 69, just finished turning my GMC Acadia into camper and went on maiden voyage weekend before last. Stayed at a farm with campsite for first time as I’m female and still had some anxiety about it. But, it was a great time and I’m looking forward to more of it! Also brought my harmonica so smiled when you brought it out. Nice video John.
I’m glad you had a good time. There’s nothing like the freedom of being on the open road. you still have a lot to learn but I think that’s the fun part about it. I know I inspired a lot of people to get on the road but I never thought I would inspire somebody to buy a harmonica. Good luck and have fun.
I always hate when your videos end. I can keep watching forever. This was a nice tranquil very therapeutic 25 min video that I enjoyed very much. I like the addition of the sound effects with everything… That was funny. I love watching you cook too. And oh that heavenly coffee. I love that you’re happy John. Keep doing what you’re doing. Cheers buddy!
Steve Zeppieri I made the next video longer just for you.
I love your sound affects
Thank you man this is an old video, but I guess it’s a good one.
Life is great with easy simple living and camping, with great harmonica music, you're good man.
Good job man. You're an inspiration! Really love your videos and the pure FREEDOM that you enjoy! Keep up the good work! I'll be walking and listening to good ol' rock n roll!
Mike Cinq Thanks, you have to have that rock ‘n’ roll it keeps you young.
Another great video John! Living the dream man!
Sir, can I offer you a non chipped oatmeal mug? That really made me laugh
Looks great
Great stir fry. You eat better out of your Jeep then I do in my home. Your very good at finding flushing toilets in the wilderness lol! Great new sound effects. Have you decided where you might be spending the winter? Keep these awesome
videos coming.
Paul Hoffman One good thing about this lifestyle is you never have to worry about clogging up the toilet bowl. I have been experimenting with different sounds to make it more interesting. When it gets cold I will probably head down to Arizona maybe Texas and Louisiana. The Best plan is not to make a plan.
Keep on keeping on.. love the video 👍
Love what you are doing John. Keep it up and enjoy yourself.
Jimmy Jones thanks I am having so much fun.
Another great video! Looks like you are having a great time! :)
FloridaCampingNick thanks man I’m having the time of my life.
The sound effect placements are pure joy and entertainment caught me off guard every time 😂 when John made the Eggs and the Plop sound hit I lost it 😂😂😂
Ryan Barr Thanks it was fun to make. I am glad you in joy it.
Johnny boy great video my friend. Happy to see new vids can't wait to see more great sound effects. Stay safe my friend
Acp 42 I am so happy out here.
Looks like you having a great time mate, wouldn’t mind doing this one day
Jeeping Down Under yep four months on the road and I am the happiest I’ve ever been.
Thanks for the video. Nice view you had there. How do you find free and safe camp spots?
So you do chores just like everyone else... but with a better view :)
You made me hungry while I was eating Ramen noodles in the back of my Jeep!
And here is a tip... skip breakfast and go right for the beer. No clean up and it’s still oatmeal 😂
Great video buddy!
IDGAXJ - Simple Overlander Good tip may have to try it.. I am in Idaho now going nuts trying to find a cell phone signal.
Entertaining video. I use to have a 98 Cherokee Classic. I loved it but being from south west michigan it endured a lot of road salt in its years and the unibody was almost rusted through. It had developed the dreaded death wobble at about 55 mph. No doubt you’ve experienced that with yours. Im now have 2004 Lexus Gx470 set up for camping.
Id like to know more about your cooking shelf in the hatch area and about fly fishing. I’ve never fly fished and would like to know the basics just to get started. Happy Trails
Man, that’s an old video you’re watching there. I am from New Jersey and everything gets rusted out in Jersey. My whole frame was totally rusted out and I had to weld in frame Steffner. The motor went out on me about four years ago but other than that the Jeep is doing fantastic. I have been driving it off-road for 4 and a half years here out west and all the way up to the arctic ocean this year on the dumpster highway without any problems. The front end is still looking good and I never had a death wobble. You gotta keep watching my channel. I’m always putting out useful information.
That mug has a lot of character! It sure looks like its seen a lot of love! Made the oatmeal look even better!
I’ve had that mug for about 20 years now. There is just something special about a ceramic mug and having coffee in the morning. When you are overland things get bounced around a lot. The mug is still hanging.
@@overthehillandoverthemount2925 , cool thanks for the response! I knew you must have had it awhile
@@overthehillandoverthemount2925 I stand corrected. Disregard my other post🙂
I just came into a van a few months ago... have a nice tall bed with lots of storage now. We’re on the East Coast now and headed West soon. Hope you have a great day and 💜happy trails
Wanna Wander that is so cool. Things are so much different out west. I haven’t paid for a place to stay in over three months. Everyone is also just so nice and friendly out here.
Over the hill and Over the mountain glad you’re lovin’ it... happy trails💜
Tell us about the mug!
dope liven da dream
More videos please
Detailed interior tour would be great. What's inside the Thule roof cargo box? Must haves for SUV car living?
Dom Jong I guess I have to do a video of a tour of inside and out side of the the jeep and how I sleep and live.
I got a spare awning for a XJ you can have , easy fast set up
Thanks, but I am good. That is an old video there and I’ve been through a bunch of different canopies so far.
Hi JOhn, Questions: What is the model of your fridge ? And am I wrong if I saw that to fit your fridge and 2 boxes, you took your passenger seat away ?
Hello fellow xj full timer.
Awesome it’s good to know There’s more people out there living full-time in a XJ
@overthehillandoverthemount2925 year 3 for us. It's the wife and I and we have matching 1992 jeep cherokee limiteds. One green one white lol.
@@Off-gridCherokee I am 2 months shy of five years full-time. Still loving it and living the dream. That’s an old video you’re looking at there.
@overthehillandoverthemount2925 ya I like to start from the beginning. This video popped up so it's the first one I watched.
love your videos. I'm a fly fisherman pushing 50 just starting to get into camping. I;m in philly and i've been exploring the upper Delaware this summer. one question. How do you pass the time at night? I find that part difficult especially when alone?
balor7 at night if I have a cell phone signal I watch UA-cam videos or I watch a movie on my iPad. A lot of times I’ll be editing a video at night. Sometimes it’s just been a long day and by 9 o’clock I’m ready for bed.

John, where are you?
Hey Glenn I am coming back and will be putting up my first video up on Saturday.
@@overthehillandoverthemount2925 Great, hope you are well. Spent a few weeks this fall in the Superior MT area, St. Joe, ID, was neat to see you had been there as well.
@@glennherbst5470 Did a lot of fishing in that area this year. Got a bunch of really nice size trout on the fish creek then I went over to pass to the north fork of the Clearwater and Kelli Creek wish to fishing was fantastic.

My 4 wheel drive Cherokee includes a full Kitchen on heavy duty slides which enables ARB Fridge & ClearView Pantry to pull completly out of the Jeep's cargo area, Roof-Top Tent (RTT), 10'pop-up screen room, and a pop-up bathroom/changing room. I can carry up to 7.8 Gallons of potable water (1 WaterPort & two 2 gallon plastic RotoPlex carriers). My Yeti Goal Zero 1250 power generator provides 3 days of electric before needing recharge. The Goal Zero power generator recharges either with AC or while the Jeep engine is running. The power generator can also be recharged with solar panels but my current energy needs don't necessitate additional alternative charging capabilities. My 15000 BTU portable stove can use either Butane or Propane for fuel. The campers' assets are totally modular which affords the flexibility to deploy optional resources as needed. If boondocking/primitive camping, I have my own water & electric power for up to 3 days. If staying in a campsite which provides water, electric, and showers/bathrooms, I can just use my RTT and kitchen. My pop-up screen room gives me a place of refuge from mosquitoes in under 2 minutes. BTW ... I always get a lot of interest and "thumbs up" comments from curious lookielou's who walk up and ask questions when the sunshade is deployed on the Jeep's rear hatch.
