I don't usually post a lot of comments on UA-cam but felt the need to in this case. I know you don't respond overly to comments so I don't expect you will to this one. And that is okay. I discovered your channel about six weeks ago and have pretty much watched every episode. I mirror what your friend told you. Don't quit. Your channel is definitely one of the most under rated on UA-cam and I always look forward to your videos. You live the kind of life traveling that I dream of. I'm glad after all of this that you and the Jeep are okay. It is understandable that you would be more than a little shaken by what happened. Take what time you need to regroup from that. Above all, thank you for all of the work that you put into these videos. I do want to let you know that they are appreciated. Take care and be well. ~Angie in Alaska
I just had to point out that 99% of UA-camrs would have put a shot of the Jeep on its side for the thumbnail and titled this episode " I FLIPPED MY JEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". What I appreciate most is that you let us experience the moment as you did, unexpectedly. This point of restraint and intellectual creativity did not go un-noticed!
Chris, First, my wife and I are emotionally vested in this episode. Having recently sold our Jeep and knowing what it means, we are saddened by the turn of events. But, we are THRILLED to see you are okay. As much as the Jeep means to you, your safety and well-being are THE MOST important things. ALL OTHER THINGS can be replaced. As we continue to watch the episode, we want to compliment you on your fortitude and level-headedness. I don't know many who would have stayed calm, continued filming and let the general public be ringside to such an emotional and potentially devastating event. We aren't oblivious to reality... I'm sure you had a few choice words to say and some off-camera reaction that we would all expect. But to keep going and bounce back the way you did is inspiring. This is one of your best episodes so far... just for the display of perseverance you have shown. You are a trooper and truly dedicated to the lifestyle and adventure you have chosen to seek. We hope to imitate your attitude and approach when we start living full-time on the road in the future. We wish you luck and please know that if you EVER need anything and are in our knick-of-the-woods, we would be honored to lend a hand. (Hampton, VA for now, headed to Colorado Springs, CO by the end of the year.) Sincerely, Gary & JoAnna
I cannot believe this channel isn't loaded with subscribers! UA-cam needs a new algorithm! There is so much mind numbing trash on here that gets trending and promoted, Chris you provide value!
he should name his videos titles to be interesting. take this one for example, if he named it "I had an accident with my jeep" his views and subs will benefit more
Thank God you're ok Chris! I wake up on Saturday mornings, make a cup of coffee, and sit down to watch, as my wife and kids call it, "the Orange Jeep Guy". You've given me so many ideas and so much inspiration, I'm grateful that you're ok, and hope you know that there are thousands of us pulling for you!
Holy crap man. I guess this is a good time to finally say hello. Hey Chris. My name is PJ and I’ve watched all your videos. Your channel is my favorite thing on here or just tv in general. Your story telling is phenomenal. Your camera skills are top notch. I can not thank you enough for all the work you to document your travels. You are a pioneer exploring the best spots to capture video. Your showcase of your adventures has been such a joy to watch develop. When I’m not out doing the same I look forward to watching your adventures every week. I know how much it takes to keep on keeping on when the road gets tough. Kudos to you for not packing it up. I’m rooting for you man! Thank you so much for doing this. I hope you make it home safely for the holidays, rest up with family and then get back on the road! Thank you! Hopefully I see you out there one day!
Keep going strong Chris! UA-cam wouldn't be the same without your content to inspire us. You will look back years from now and laugh at this and what a great story to tell!
Hey Chris... I'm from Michigan and if you happen to swing into the state on your adventure and would like some fresher carpet, than what will become your stinky carpet I have a full set for front and back seat area that i took out of my 14 rubicon last year. Ive had it in a storage bin. You can have it if you want. It will never end up back in my jeep. Let me know. Glad you're safe!!
My friend i rolled an 18 wheeler over 5 years ago. It was a nightmare. I wanted to quit driving. It was hard and still is. You are so important to me and a lot of other youtubers. I am an over the road truck driver. Your videos help me make it thru the week. You really inspire people. Keep making a difference in peoples lives. Take care my friend and keep on jeepn.
Chris. I too have to comment. My wife and I watch your story religiously. We have a Jeep and a small camper that supplies us and our two young children with quite a bit of adventure. Your adventure is the asymptotic extreme of what my wife and I would dream about if we had not had the little miracles. Your style of video is our absolute favorite and is the only UA-cam channel that really captures the essence of this type of adventure because of the way you film and edit. In addition, by the way, your photography skills have grown before our eyes. Anyway, this episode is especially impressive. You still did not use this situation as advertising or click bait. We were amazed that you had the will to document the situation despite how unbelievably stressful it must have been. Continue on this amazing journey because we are all right there with you every week!
We are thankful you are ok. It could have been so much worse! Luckily it was a slow tip over in a swampy ditch. We really like your setup. For your style of traveling and exploring it’s perfection! Stay safe. We love your videos. Thanks for sharing with us!😊👍❤️
You, sir, are alive! Your stuff and even your Jeep (trust me, ALL my vehicles are family) can be replaced; you cannot!!! I'm glad this chapter happened and the next one is in progress. Thank you for being the guy that does this. Keep it up!
Much respect for the way you pushed through and took care of business. I know it wasn’t easy but you DID IT MAN! There are so many of us that look forward to your videos every Friday. I’m glad you are okay! Keep moving forward and never look back!
Wow! My wife and I watched this episode together and we were both shocked to see your Jeep on it’s side. Really glad you’re safe. Remember, you can always replace broken parts. Your safety is all that matters. Keep living the dream!
Greetings from Guatemala City, Guatemala, Central America. As an avid fisherman, camper and traveler, I unfortunately have been in a couple of similar situations. You just can't stop, let me tell you. The best comment/advise that I can give you is clearly explained in this Carlos Castaneda's quote: "The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse." Cheers. il Babbino Ravello
Seeing your calm, cool, collected, one-step-at-a-time approach to your "sideways" situation is truly inspiring - particularly for someone like myself who struggles with anxiety and adapting to sudden, jarring curveballs. I appreciate your willingness and vulnerability to share your struggles, and it's encouraging to see you move past them and triumph over them.
Wow! A very somber, yet sobering experience. Glad that you and the Jeep are ok, despite being shaken up. The minor damage is fixable, and hopefully overtime, you'll look back on this and have a great story to tell your grandkids. You did all the right things to get back on the road, thanks to those who helped out. Keep exploring Chris.
Chris, so sorry to hear about incident with the jeep! It was heart wrenching to see your jeep on its side. The first thing is, that you are safe, and it looks by all the TLC you gave your jeep, that too, is ready to roll again. Happy you're almost back to normal, and a special THANKS to you, for what you do every week. Even with all that happened to you this past week, you still managed to put out a video. I know lot of hard work goes into your videos, and I look forward every week to your adventures. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Scary stuff, glad you didn’t get hurt. When you think about it, it’s mind blowing how quickly things can get way out of hand. I think this may have been a less than gentle reminder That you are doing this all solo And no matter where you are or what you’re doing your focus needs to be sharp. Look back at all the places you’ve been and be proud of what you’ve accomplished. You may not realize it, but you are an inspiration to thousands and thousands of people. keep up the good work and soldier on!
I literally cried out when I saw the Jeep in the ditch loud enough people came to check on me lol. Apparently I am more emotionally invested in this than I realised :) It's great you got back up and running. I know it will take awhile to shrug this off upstairs in the noggin. That's OK though. Nothing wrong with a little funk for awhile after something so big.
Hi Chris, thank goodness you are safe and unhurt. Your calmness and methodical approach to the recovery has helped you get through this. Kudos to those 2 guys who helped. Please heed your friends advice and take stock and keep going. You only have to read all the comments to know you have plenty of support. In all the adversity you still managed to make us chuckle - the (last) toilet roll comment and the look on your face after the spilt coffee = priceless. Looking forward to many more episodes. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 heed your
I look forward to 2 things each week: checking up on my elderly mom and watching your well-crafted zen videos. Bummer on the roll. However dont quit, take a breath, and just vid the trials and tribulations. Gives you more content possibilities. Your adventures inspire me and us all to go do it too. Take care, look forward to the next.
As soon as I saw the change in the window I KNEW it was a Roll-Over. Wife's rollover did the same. Chris, way to rebound bud! You did everything right following the unscheduled off-road adventure. I've made mental notes of how cool you appeared and everything you did following to assure things dried and functioned. Awsome Job Man. Your road assistants in the middle of nowhere were a minor miracle too. Thanks to them! Things happen. It's what happens after an incident that makes the difference. Thanks for sharing the good and bad and letting us come along for the ride!
So glad you are doing well. The jeep is awesome but you are the adventurer, all the rest is just equipment. You're an amazing inspiration to us all, and your community supports you. So glad you are safe.
Another informative and fascinating video. You're a good example for how a responsible person should handle a setback. Successful people aren't people without problems, they're people who learn to solve problems.
So glad like others said that you are ok seeing the Jeep is your home. You are not replaceable. My heart dropped when I saw the images as you told your story and so glad someone drive by.
Holy cow Chris!!!! That took a turn quickly. Amazing blessing that you were unharmed as well as the Jeep earning a few stripes. Look at it this way, nice little opportunity to do some much needed cleaning and organizing. 👍👍👍
Like they said back in the 80's, "Shit Happens"! Your friend Casey was right on with his advice. No serious damage, you weren't hurt and now you have battle scars! They build character and every Jeep needs them. :) Soon you'll be looking back on this minor indecent and laugh about it. I've made this comment before to you but I really appreciate that you don't feel the need to have background music blasting and we get a better feel for what you experience. Also, I know the extra effort it takes for you to stop, place and camera to get the drive by shots, then have to go back and pick up the camera. I don't think I'd have the patients to do that but it really enhances your videos.
Thanks Chris. So glad you weren't injured and the jeep has survived well. You took the right action to solve the problems with the jeep. Way to go. Keep going man.
Hi Chris, don't let it get you down. Go on, your videos are the best. I look forward to your video of the week every Saturday. 👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Andreas
Oh Chris! I’m watching, enjoying the Fall colors and scenery as usual, doot doot doot, then OH MY GAWD, HE ROLLED THE JEEP!!!!! 😲. My hubby ran into the room to see me in shock! That Jeep had your back and so did your guardian angels! We’re soooooo thankful you’re okay! Take all the time you need even if you beeline home to chill and be with family. ❤️
So glad you are ok. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Our kids (3 & 6) love watching your videos, every Saturday morning. They call you the “orange Jeep guy.” They always hope it’s you when we see an orange Jeep drive by. 🤩 Take care!
I just finished this episode and was quite taken aback by your mishap. But, your response and recovery were outstanding. It reminded me of the Matt Damon quote from The Martian, near the end of the film. When he's survived and back on earth. He tells the new NASA recruits that when faced with disaster you "Work the problem. You don't get emotional you just WORK THE PROBLEM.....and then you work the next problem, and the next one and the next one. You do the math, you figure it out. And if you figure out enough of them you get to come home". Well done sir. I saw that you were shaken by this and cannot blame you. But you positively WORKED THE PROBLEM and you got to come home.
It has taken me a few days to pull some thoughts together. First, “Wow”. Not at all what any of your subscribers were expecting. I was watching with a buddy on Saturday morning and we were totally shocked. Disbelief actually. I believe i have watched almost all of your videos and through all of them the one thing that stands out is how meticulous you are about being prepared, prudent in your decision making, and cautious and deliberate when driving. It just goes to show nobody is immune to accidents and there is risk around every corner. Which makes what you are doing even more exceptional Chris. None of us are safe. From accidents or health issues and all manner of unforseen challenges. We all applaud your pursuit of your passion and willingness to embrace unconventional lifestyle. Your resolve was seriously tested. Thankfully you weren’t seriously hurt. And “Wow” - what a vehicle! That Jeep of yours is amazing!!
Thank you for sharing this physical and emotional journey. I believe it took a lot of courage to show this episode. To be out in the sticks by yourself and this happen, I fully understand how easy it would be to be raddled and to contemplate stopping. I would certainly miss your fantastic style and camera work. You do such a great job taking us with you, our very own travel guide. I don't know how calm you take everything, what a great attitude. I absolutely loved the latte shot, your expression says it all. As was previously mentioned, your channel is highly under rated.
Glad to see that you are OK Chris! Please, don't quit! Your videos are incredible! My wife and I really enjoy them! You have more friends than you think. If you need anything, just reach to the community here. People here care about you and are willing to help (a lot of them, at least)! Stay safe (and dry) my friend! See you in the wild!
Angie Middleton said it best, so thank you Angie. Chris, your channel brings enjoyment to many viewers and I am only one of them who is grateful that you came out of this safely. Take time to regroup and decide how best to move forward. Sincere regards from South Africa. Clive P. S. No response required.
Other UA-cam ers would have had some title on their video saying "I almost died and drowned in my Jeep" but not you sir. Much respect for that. Glad your ok and I enjoy your videos. `
Chris, You are Amazing. Your video montage as an intro for us as to what happened is simply incredible. Look at Everything You do even when shaken! You’ve found your niche and hit a bump in the road. Keep Going! It’s always darkest before dawn and the best is yet to come!
I went from "OMG! WHAT HAPPENED?" to "what a day you are having". Casey was spot on with his advice for you. My release after the side roll would have been tears then start taking stock, clearing / cleaning up. I really appreciate that you did not drama it up. This is what happened, yes I am shaken, get on with the adventure. Bless you!!
Happy your are safe. You and your show are an inspiration to alot of folks, including me. Your show is a great metaphor for moving forward when bad things happen. Keep on trucking!
Glad to hear your doing better. After you showed the picture of the Jeep on its side, my heart sank. :( . I hope you continue making weekly videos. Glade to see your good. Safe travels. Catch you next Friday.
I’m really glad you’re okay Chris! The Jeep really showed its ruggedness by getting back with just a few adjustments. And I’m happy the 2 guys where passing by at the right place and time to assist you.
For all the traveling you do something like this was bound to happen. It’s great you and ORANGE CRUSH came out relatively unskaved. Way to bounce back Chris and remember don’t let yesterday take up to much of today...
So very happy to hear that you're okay. just know that your little channel has become one of my highlights every Saturday morning. An even though you may not be able to see it, you are having a positive effect on your viewers. Well safe travels Chris, looking forward to seeing where you take us next. The Derrick's from, Parke County Indiana.
Chris, i too know what its like to sink a jeep passenger side in water. Its a rough experience, my jeep was never the same. Hopefully you have better luck, i admire your attitude about the whole situation. Glad your alright, keep exploring. You have one of the most underrated channels on youtube.
Hi Chris, I don't think I've even commented on any of the UA-cam videos but I've watching your videos since you pretty much started. Just want to let you know that we're all glad that you're safe and your jeep, your home! Is up and running. Your videos are great, please keep them coming! What you're doing out there, most people can only dream about it.
My friend, that Jeep is amazing (because you have carefully and meticulously made it that way), and you are an inspirational human being. What you have overcome to do what you do - and allow me to do it vicariously through this vlog - literally inspires awe in me. The world feels a little better because folk like you are just being what you are. I'm so glad you're safe, I'm sorry it happened but you got a great anecdote out of it. From my heart here in Ireland "May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft into your life. And may God hold you in the palm of His hand." Voyages sécuritaires, bonne chance!!
Chris, I am glad also that you are physically ok. I rolled my 1st jeep in 1975. Now you can truely say that you are an off roader. I enjoy your adventures, and this event just adds to them. You made me laugh when you took what looked like the first sip of coffee out of that to go cup. Just the pleasure on you face. Best wishes and KEEP THE SHINNY SIDE UP!
Chris, you handled a very challenging situation triumphantly well. Don't give up my friend, don't ever give up. You lead the kind of life that many of us aspire to live and are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others. You positively impact our lives in ways you can't possibly imagine. With that being said, the next time you are at OK4WD I would have them change out the wiper blades and/or give you a backup pair. From personal experience heading into winter, there is nothing worse than driving through tons of precipitation and you can't see where you are going.
Lemons in to Lemonade.You're a good man, Chris. All the best moving forward. Thank you for sharing your life experience with us. Jeep should be sponsoring you. You're showing the world what the Rubicon can do and overcome. Not just in this video but in all your videos, this machine has not said no! What a remarkable vehicle Andre and Pierre, good men. it's all about helping when its needed I've watched your videos from day one. I've commented here and there, liked here and there. I feel bad that I'm commenting here after what you had to go through but its simply because you didn't stop. You stayed positive and you kept going. That is inspiration. Time to click next to the next vid, V7E21
Keeping moving 4wd... you got this! Glad you and the orange beast are fine. Your safety is primary, so glad and grateful you came out unscathed. Thanks for sharing this episode, you could have easy said f'it, and not shown life happening. But you didn't, and I am also grateful for that! Be safe...
Challenge successfully completed. You just levelled up. You are now wiser and stronger and ready for the next challenge. Keep at it and thank you for all that you do.
I can think of no better marketing campaign or brand ambassador then to have Chris driving a Jeep all over the country! Come on Jeep, set Chris up with a new Rubicon! Glad you're OK Chris! Could have been so much worse. Thanks for filming the progress after getting the Jeep back on it's feet. Some very smart things to do that I never thought of before. Thank you for sharing and hope everything gets straighten out. E
Chris, I'm glad to hear you're ok. I think life can get monotonous and the person upstairs throws a little wrench into our lives to ensure we remember life can be dangerous and to enjoy it while we can, stay grounded and focused. Keep driving and making your videos. I would love to be doing half of what you are. Don't quit so some of us can live vicariously through you! I would also have to say a big shout out to the Jeep for that incredible vehicle.
Chris, when the screen went black then came back up with the Jeep on its side, my heart sank!! I’m so glad things weren’t worse and looking forward to seeing if issues pop up down the road. Stay safe and roll on!
Wow, you got out of there with the best possible outcome. Could’ve been lots worse had there been trees or a rock face there. It’s always reassuring knowing there are good people out there, willing to help a stranger in need. Keep on keeping on!
I’ve never commented on the e of your videos. I am now when you showed the picture of the Jeep on its side my heart sank, I’m very thankful you and your Jeep avoided serious injuries. I enjoy your channel and eagerly await your new episodes each Friday. Thank you for sharing your adventures good and bad stay safe I look forward to seeing your continued adventures. The coffee spill was much appreciated comic relief for this episode. Keep up the awesome work!
Holy crap dude you freaked me out. Cut to Jeep on side in ditch!!! I'm glad to hear you didn't get hurt physically, psychologically bruised understood. Fortunate serious damage to your steed was avoided. Advice from friend priceless. Hang in there Chris you have a ton of people pulling for you.
“OH MY GOD!!!” My wife screamed out loud, when she saw the Jeep, on its side. We are glad all is okay and you powered through, my friend. See you next week and she said, “be careful, no more scaring the crap out of me!”
Glad you escaped uninjured, end of the day you can always get another Jeep, you can't get another you, Stay safe Chris lot of people here got your back and want you to succeed in whatever journey life takes you on.
Chris so glad you weren't hurt and the damage was minimal. Glad some help stopped by and you were able to get going again. Thought you did a great job of drying out all the relays and stuff, way to think it all through. Stay safe and motor on! Thanks for sharing!
Chris: First time commentor and not something that I have done watching MANY of your episodes (and continue to watch every week). KUDOs to you for picking yourself up and keeping on - keeping on! You obviously have many followers and we are counting on you to bring us videos and comments on things/places we only dream of. Thank you for all you do!!! Afterall, it is a JEEP and they are still tough! And like the Timex watch - Can take a licking and keep on ticking!!!
Actually, a great episode for you, watching you go from sideways to recovering from electrical issues and drying out was a lesson in perseverance. Keep up the great work Chris, we have three generations of our family watching you. All of us fondly call you “The Orange Jeep Guy” and we choose to watch you rather than Saturday cartoons 😁 Hang in there Chris, you inspire all of us to get outdoors and explore!

Very well put, Angie, and I couldn't agree with you more.
Amen! Just remember “when it rains, it pours”! This too shall pass. Love your videos Chris and I think I’m going to become one of you Patreon Members
What she said 👆🏻 man, if Murphy’s Law had a week/video, yeesh. Glad you are okay! That Jeep is a Tank! 💪🏻
I'm glad you and the Jeep are ok. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your hard work and creativity making them. Safe travels.

The shot after the coffee spillage made me laugh. Glad to see you made it through your ordeal in tact.
You are a phenomenal visual story teller. I love the stripped down presentation, no music, just video, well paced, great b-roll and cuts. *Bows*

Same here.
Chris. I too have to comment. My wife and I watch your story religiously. We have a Jeep and a small camper that supplies us and our two young children with quite a bit of adventure.
Your adventure is the asymptotic extreme of what my wife and I would dream about if we had not had the little miracles.
Your style of video is our absolute favorite and is the only UA-cam channel that really captures the essence of this type of adventure because of the way you film and edit. In addition, by the way, your photography skills have grown before our eyes.
Anyway, this episode is especially impressive. You still did not use this situation as advertising or click bait. We were amazed that you had the will to document the situation despite how unbelievably stressful it must have been. Continue on this amazing journey because we are all right there with you every week!

The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse."

Seeing your calm, cool, collected, one-step-at-a-time approach to your "sideways" situation is truly inspiring - particularly for someone like myself who struggles with anxiety and adapting to sudden, jarring curveballs. I appreciate your willingness and vulnerability to share your struggles, and it's encouraging to see you move past them and triumph over them.
Love your spirit and attitude in the midst of tough situations! It's very inspiring. Glad all is well.

Perhaps the two guys that helped you were two angels in disguise...... I'm glad all worked out for ya.
Wow! A very somber, yet sobering experience. Glad that you and the Jeep are ok, despite being shaken up. The minor damage is fixable, and hopefully overtime, you'll look back on this and have a great story to tell your grandkids. You did all the right things to get back on the road, thanks to those who helped out. Keep exploring Chris.
Chris, so sorry to hear about incident with the jeep! It was heart wrenching to see your jeep on its side. The first thing is, that you are safe, and it looks by all the TLC you gave your jeep, that too, is ready to roll again. Happy you're almost back to normal, and a special THANKS to you, for what you do every week. Even with all that happened to you this past week, you still managed to put out a video. I know lot of hard work goes into your videos, and I look forward every week to your adventures. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Scary stuff, glad you didn’t get hurt. When you think about it, it’s mind blowing how quickly things can get way out of hand. I think this may have been a less than gentle reminder That you are doing this all solo And no matter where you are or what you’re doing your focus needs to be sharp. Look back at all the places you’ve been and be proud of what you’ve accomplished. You may not realize it, but you are an inspiration to thousands and thousands of people. keep up the good work and soldier on!
I literally cried out when I saw the Jeep in the ditch loud enough people came to check on me lol. Apparently I am more emotionally invested in this than I realised :) It's great you got back up and running. I know it will take awhile to shrug this off upstairs in the noggin. That's OK though. Nothing wrong with a little funk for awhile after something so big.
Hi Chris, thank goodness you are safe and unhurt. Your calmness and methodical approach to the recovery has helped you get through this. Kudos to those 2 guys who helped.
Please heed your friends advice and take stock and keep going. You only have to read all the comments to know you have plenty of support.
In all the adversity you still managed to make us chuckle - the (last) toilet roll comment and the look on your face after the spilt coffee = priceless.
Looking forward to many more episodes.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
heed your
Watched a lot of your videos but never commented. The BEST one yet! These are the things that you will remember.
I look forward to 2 things each week: checking up on my elderly mom and watching your well-crafted zen videos. Bummer on the roll. However dont quit, take a breath, and just vid the trials and tribulations. Gives you more content possibilities. Your adventures inspire me and us all to go do it too. Take care, look forward to the next.
As soon as I saw the change in the window I KNEW it was a Roll-Over. Wife's rollover did the same.
Chris, way to rebound bud! You did everything right following the unscheduled off-road adventure. I've made mental notes of how cool you appeared and everything you did following to assure things dried and functioned. Awsome Job Man. Your road assistants in the middle of nowhere were a minor miracle too. Thanks to them!
Things happen. It's what happens after an incident that makes the difference.
Thanks for sharing the good and bad and letting us come along for the ride!
Chris the one and only Mr. Overland King! Keep up the good work.
So glad you are doing well. The jeep is awesome but you are the adventurer, all the rest is just equipment. You're an amazing inspiration to us all, and your community supports you.
So glad you are safe.
Another informative and fascinating video. You're a good example for how a responsible person should handle a setback. Successful people aren't people without problems, they're people who learn to solve problems.
So glad like others said that you are ok seeing the Jeep is your home. You are not replaceable. My heart dropped when I saw the images as you told your story and so glad someone drive by.
Holy cow Chris!!!! That took a turn quickly. Amazing blessing that you were unharmed as well as the Jeep earning a few stripes. Look at it this way, nice little opportunity to do some much needed cleaning and organizing. 👍👍👍
Thank god for your safety, Both me & My wife wish you the best!
Like they said back in the 80's, "Shit Happens"! Your friend Casey was right on with his advice. No serious damage, you weren't hurt and now you have battle scars! They build character and every Jeep needs them. :) Soon you'll be looking back on this minor indecent and laugh about it.
I've made this comment before to you but I really appreciate that you don't feel the need to have background music blasting and we get a better feel for what you experience. Also, I know the extra effort it takes for you to stop, place and camera to get the drive by shots, then have to go back and pick up the camera. I don't think I'd have the patients to do that but it really enhances your videos.
We totally agree. Thanks for NOT having background music. Your videos are awesome.
Agreed. The lack of music is a welcome treat.
Chris! Thank you for being so open in this video with the struggle this incident was for you. Your an inspiration!
Thanks Chris. So glad you weren't injured and the jeep has survived well. You took the right action to solve the problems with the jeep. Way to go. Keep going man.
Hi Chris, don't let it get you down.
Go on, your videos are the best.
I look forward to your video of the week every Saturday.
👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Oh Chris! I’m watching, enjoying the Fall colors and scenery as usual, doot doot doot, then OH MY GAWD, HE ROLLED THE JEEP!!!!! 😲. My hubby ran into the room to see me in shock! That Jeep had your back and so did your guardian angels! We’re soooooo thankful you’re okay! Take all the time you need even if you beeline home to chill and be with family. ❤️
My Guy, you're a calm dude I tell ya. Keep living my brother -- life doesn't get any better than this.
So glad you are ok. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Our kids (3 & 6) love watching your videos, every Saturday morning. They call you the “orange Jeep guy.” They always hope it’s you when we see an orange Jeep drive by. 🤩 Take care!
I just finished this episode and was quite taken aback by your mishap. But, your response and recovery were outstanding. It reminded me of the Matt Damon quote from The Martian, near the end of the film. When he's survived and back on earth. He tells the new NASA recruits that when faced with disaster you "Work the problem. You don't get emotional you just WORK THE PROBLEM.....and then you work the next problem, and the next one and the next one. You do the math, you figure it out. And if you figure out enough of them you get to come home". Well done sir. I saw that you were shaken by this and cannot blame you. But you positively WORKED THE PROBLEM and you got to come home.
It has taken me a few days to pull some thoughts together. First, “Wow”. Not at all what any of your subscribers were expecting. I was watching with a buddy on Saturday morning and we were totally shocked. Disbelief actually. I believe i have watched almost all of your videos and through all of them the one thing that stands out is how meticulous you are about being prepared, prudent in your decision making, and cautious and deliberate when driving. It just goes to show nobody is immune to accidents and there is risk around every corner. Which makes what you are doing even more exceptional Chris. None of us are safe. From accidents or health issues and all manner of unforseen challenges. We all applaud your pursuit of your passion and willingness to embrace unconventional lifestyle. Your resolve was seriously tested. Thankfully you weren’t seriously hurt. And “Wow” - what a vehicle! That Jeep of yours is amazing!!
Thank you for sharing this physical and emotional journey. I believe it took a lot of courage to show this episode. To be out in the sticks by yourself and this happen, I fully understand how easy it would be to be raddled and to contemplate stopping. I would certainly miss your fantastic style and camera work. You do such a great job taking us with you, our very own travel guide. I don't know how calm you take everything, what a great attitude. I absolutely loved the latte shot, your expression says it all.
As was previously mentioned, your channel is highly under rated.
Glad to see that you are OK Chris! Please, don't quit! Your videos are incredible! My wife and I really enjoy them! You have more friends than you think. If you need anything, just reach to the community here. People here care about you and are willing to help (a lot of them, at least)! Stay safe (and dry) my friend! See you in the wild!
Lemons to lemonade! So glad you're okay. My wife and I enjoy your videos, keep it up. Thank you!
Angie Middleton said it best, so thank you Angie.
Chris, your channel brings enjoyment to many viewers and I am only one of them who is grateful that you came out of this safely.
Take time to regroup and decide how best to move forward.
Sincere regards from South Africa.
Clive
P. S. No response required.
Glad you weren’t hurt and I enjoy these videos. Thanks for sharing the good and bad events with us.
Other UA-cam ers would have had some title on their video saying "I almost died and drowned in my Jeep" but not you sir. Much respect for that. Glad your ok and I enjoy your videos.
`
Buggery bugger! Glad you're ok and the Jeep's not too badly broken - battle scars are good, you've always got a story :-) Stay safe, Chris!
Chris, You are Amazing. Your video montage as an intro for us as to what happened is simply incredible. Look at Everything You do even when shaken! You’ve found your niche and hit a bump in the road. Keep Going! It’s always darkest before dawn and the best is yet to come!
I went from "OMG! WHAT HAPPENED?" to "what a day you are having". Casey was spot on with his advice for you. My release after the side roll would have been tears then start taking stock, clearing / cleaning up. I really appreciate that you did not drama it up. This is what happened, yes I am shaken, get on with the adventure. Bless you!!
Happy your are safe. You and your show are an inspiration to alot of folks, including me. Your show is a great metaphor for moving forward when bad things happen. Keep on trucking!
Glad to see you're OK Chris, Don't quit. This is just a life lesson and you passed with flying colors.
Glad to hear your doing better. After you showed the picture of the Jeep on its side, my heart sank. :( . I hope you continue making weekly videos. Glade to see your good. Safe travels. Catch you next Friday.
I’m really glad you’re okay Chris! The Jeep really showed its ruggedness by getting back with just a few adjustments. And I’m happy the 2 guys where passing by at the right place and time to assist you.
All of us are rooting for you Chris, stay strong!!
I knew the BFG were over rated ;). I am so glad you are safe. My Saturday would never be same without you and your vids.
The best channel on youtube . Thank you Chris, please dont quit
For all the traveling you do something like this was bound to happen. It’s great you and ORANGE CRUSH came out relatively unskaved. Way to bounce back Chris and remember don’t let yesterday take up to much of today...
So very happy to hear that you're okay. just know that your little channel has become one of my highlights every Saturday morning. An even though you may not be able to see it, you are having a positive effect on your viewers. Well safe travels Chris, looking forward to seeing where you take us next.
The Derrick's from, Parke County Indiana.
Chris, i too know what its like to sink a jeep passenger side in water. Its a rough experience, my jeep was never the same. Hopefully you have better luck, i admire your attitude about the whole situation. Glad your alright, keep exploring. You have one of the most underrated channels on youtube.
Hi Chris, I don't think I've even commented on any of the UA-cam videos but I've watching your videos since you pretty much started. Just want to let you know that we're all glad that you're safe and your jeep, your home! Is up and running. Your videos are great, please keep them coming! What you're doing out there, most people can only dream about it.
Good work Chris.You're very responsible.A lesson for younger one's following.Thank you.
My friend, that Jeep is amazing (because you have carefully and meticulously made it that way), and you are an inspirational human being. What you have overcome to do what you do - and allow me to do it vicariously through this vlog - literally inspires awe in me. The world feels a little better because folk like you are just being what you are. I'm so glad you're safe, I'm sorry it happened but you got a great anecdote out of it. From my heart here in Ireland "May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft into your life. And may God hold you in the palm of His hand." Voyages sécuritaires, bonne chance!!
Chris, I am glad also that you are physically ok. I rolled my 1st jeep in 1975. Now you can truely say that you are an off roader. I enjoy your adventures, and this event just adds to them. You made me laugh when you took what looked like the first sip of coffee out of that to go cup. Just the pleasure on you face. Best wishes and KEEP THE SHINNY SIDE UP!
One tough dude. Talked about tipping the jeep like it was no big deal. Happy you are healthy.
I admire your positivity in all that has happened.
Chris, you handled a very challenging situation triumphantly well. Don't give up my friend, don't ever give up. You lead the kind of life that many of us aspire to live and are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others. You positively impact our lives in ways you can't possibly imagine.
With that being said, the next time you are at OK4WD I would have them change out the wiper blades and/or give you a backup pair. From personal experience heading into winter, there is nothing worse than driving through tons of precipitation and you can't see where you are going.
Lemons in to Lemonade.You're a good man, Chris. All the best moving forward. Thank you for sharing your life experience with us.
Jeep should be sponsoring you. You're showing the world what the Rubicon can do and overcome. Not just in this video but in all your videos, this machine has not said no! What a remarkable vehicle
Andre and Pierre, good men. it's all about helping when its needed
I've watched your videos from day one. I've commented here and there, liked here and there. I feel bad that I'm commenting here after what you had to go through but its simply because you didn't stop. You stayed positive and you kept going. That is inspiration.
Time to click next to the next vid, V7E21
Keeping moving 4wd... you got this! Glad you and the orange beast are fine. Your safety is primary, so glad and grateful you came out unscathed. Thanks for sharing this episode, you could have easy said f'it, and not shown life happening. But you didn't, and I am also grateful for that! Be safe...
Challenge successfully completed. You just levelled up. You are now wiser and stronger and ready for the next challenge. Keep at it and thank you for all that you do.
I can think of no better marketing campaign or brand ambassador then to have Chris driving a Jeep all over the country! Come on Jeep, set Chris up with a new Rubicon!
Glad you're OK Chris! Could have been so much worse. Thanks for filming the progress after getting the Jeep back on it's feet. Some very smart things to do that I never thought of before. Thank you for sharing and hope everything gets straighten out. E
So glad you are ok. Life threw you a ball, and you hit it as a champion. Just keep going, everything is part of the adventure.
Chris, I'm glad to hear you're ok. I think life can get monotonous and the person upstairs throws a little wrench into our lives to ensure we remember life can be dangerous and to enjoy it while we can, stay grounded and focused. Keep driving and making your videos. I would love to be doing half of what you are. Don't quit so some of us can live vicariously through you! I would also have to say a big shout out to the Jeep for that incredible vehicle.
Chris, so sorry that happened but you persevered! The most important virtue of an overlander!!
So glad you and the Jeep are ok. We love your adventures.
Chris, when the screen went black then came back up with the Jeep on its side, my heart sank!! I’m so glad things weren’t worse and looking forward to seeing if issues pop up down the road. Stay safe and roll on!
Wow, you got out of there with the best possible outcome. Could’ve been lots worse had there been trees or a rock face there. It’s always reassuring knowing there are good people out there, willing to help a stranger in need. Keep on keeping on!
I’ve never commented on the e of your videos. I am now when you showed the picture of the Jeep on its side my heart sank, I’m very thankful you and your Jeep avoided serious injuries.
I enjoy your channel and eagerly await your new episodes each Friday.
Thank you for sharing your adventures good and bad stay safe I look forward to seeing your continued adventures. The coffee spill was much appreciated comic relief for this episode. Keep up the awesome work!
Holy crap dude you freaked me out. Cut to Jeep on side in ditch!!! I'm glad to hear you didn't get hurt physically, psychologically bruised understood. Fortunate serious damage to your steed was avoided. Advice from friend priceless. Hang in there Chris you have a ton of people pulling for you.
For you to go out and go off-roading after putting the jeep on its side is just amazing. I would have crawled into a hole for a while. Great job.
They need a fantastic button. You are officially my overland mentor.
Casey sounds like a good friend. And the journey continues ...
Man glad you’re OK and Jeep is mostly OK , I enjoy your simple videos, the places you go and roads just amazing , thanks for videos
“OH MY GOD!!!” My wife screamed out loud, when she saw the Jeep, on its side. We are glad all is okay and you powered through, my friend. See you next week and she said, “be careful, no more scaring the crap out of me!”
Holly crap man! Scary event. Glad to see you’re ok. Amazing to see how you took everything so calmly. On screen at least
Thankfully it was not worse. Awesome job on keep on jeepn. You keep inspring me and all of youtube. Safe travels my friend.
Glad you escaped uninjured, end of the day you can always get another Jeep, you can't get another you, Stay safe Chris lot of people here got your back and want you to succeed in whatever journey life takes you on.
Chris so glad you weren't hurt and the damage was minimal. Glad some help stopped by and you were able to get going again. Thought you did a great job of drying out all the relays and stuff, way to think it all through. Stay safe and motor on! Thanks for sharing!
Chris: First time commentor and not something that I have done watching MANY of your episodes (and continue to watch every week). KUDOs to you for picking yourself up and keeping on - keeping on! You obviously have many followers and we are counting on you to bring us videos and comments on things/places we only dream of. Thank you for all you do!!! Afterall, it is a JEEP and they are still tough! And like the Timex watch - Can take a licking and keep on ticking!!!
Actually, a great episode for you, watching you go from sideways to recovering from electrical issues and drying out was a lesson in perseverance. Keep up the great work Chris, we have three generations of our family watching you. All of us fondly call you “The Orange Jeep Guy” and we choose to watch you rather than Saturday cartoons 😁
Hang in there Chris, you inspire all of us to get outdoors and explore!
Another part of the adventure! Some day you'll tell wide-eyed grandchildren this story.
You've got the "right stuff" Chris. You got through it by finding the best place to find a helping hand. At the end of your own arm. Keep Truckin!
