Surviving HOLE IN THE ROCK Jeep trail 

you took the words right out of my mouth, "like father, like son". LOL. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

That's a really cool intro with the fancy chair, burnt wreck and beautiful sunset!! I absolutely love it, I hope this becomes a regular feature! Keep up the great work Rudy! 👍

The blast engineer for hole in the rock was my great great grandfather Benjamin Perkins. Ben was a born in the UK doing mining jobs starting at the age of 8. He started working with dynamite not long after. In the UK he joined the LDS church and took a train to Salt Lake. He was called by church leaders to help colonize southern Utah. He took his wife and went with the wagon party down to the area where they’d create hole in the rock. There’s not a whole lot of information on how he created the hole in the rock in terms of engineering and design. Ben didn’t have an education since he was working in mines his whole life, but he designed the suspended tracks and perfectly measured the blast holes to allow the tracks that’d allow the wagons to go down the cliffs and gullies. They used ropes and pulleys to bring the carts down safely. I guess you could say I’m proud. Haha!

As you always say “thanks for watching” I would like to say , THANKS FOR SHARING ❤️

You definitely are your fathers son. Running out of gas. lol. Thanks for bringing us along Rudy.

Why was I not surprised to hear that you hadn't fueled up? I wonder what might have prepared me for that possibility? Awesome adventure Rudy and JaNelle, thanks for taking us along with you.

Rudy is killing it! I love the relaxed, laid back presentation and cinematography of these videos. So refreshing from the loud music and shouting everybody else feels the need to do. Otis and Janelle are icing on the cake… well done… 👏🏻👍🏻

All those brand new looking Jeeps make it look like a Jeep commercial....and then there is the Rudicon. Probably the most capable unit in the group. Great video. Thanks.

Running low on fuel is a family tradition passed on by Matt 😂

Starting to think the refueling issue is genetic👍

Great ride Rudy thanks for taking us all along.

I need to introduce you and your dad to my friend "JERRY"!! When you run out of fuel, he "CAN" help you!! Great video!

Rudy, you're a born story teller. That was very good. I thought you were going over when you were in that hole. All's well that ends well though. Brent needs a MORR t-shirt, cause he got em out. :)

Loving the style of this. The drone, the seat with desert backdrop. The shared story. Great job Rudy and JaNelle. Thanks for sharing.

Well Rudy made a call on the back side of the lake lol lmao and yes like father like son awesome sauce

Thank you for showing us the wagon trail! We were in Bluff AZ at the museum and learned about the journey but to see the video of the area is pretty awesome! If you ever get back there stop in the museum and watch the video. They were crazy!

That was an awesome adventure! Janelle did s fantastic job wheelin’! So, Rudy made a call……

Rudy, that was your best video to date. You're starting to come into your own, so keep up the good work. JaNelle is doing great as well and gonna give you a run for your money on rock crawling. However, you ARE your fathers son when it comes to watching the fuel gauge. LOL That was some beautiful country you were in out there.

Rudy, JaNelle is a real treasure! No woman I've known would even go on a trip like that but getting stuck or running out of gas? I never would have heard the end of it! Looks like you've got the Rudycon ready to take on most any trail!

Rudy, great to see you and JaNelle adventuring together. Like father like son. Never have truer words been spoken. Thanks for sharing.

The trailer wiring was trying to send you a message. It got you to stop at a Chevron station to fill the Rudicon tank but you missed the sign.

Being a trucker for 30+ yrs i cant wrap my head around you being at a gas station fixing your trailer lights and not filling up with gas. Really you was right there, not cool. Looked like a cool trail ride. Thanks for sharing.

Your family is genetically inclined to run out of fuel. The drama and tension is almost to much. Love it. 😂

Great video! Glad that it's becoming the Janelle and Rudy channel. You two are great together.

I just finished watching your dad's heavy wrecker video they really appreciate you you have such a great family

Thanks Rudy & JaNelle for letting me share your adventure on the hole in the rock jeep trail. The holland rock trail and the history of the mormons pioneers crossing is such a amazing story and site to see! Great content and story line along with the beautiful scenery makes for a very enjoyable video. Running out of gas will make your dad very proud of you for keeping with the family tradition!😀 So glad you decided to have this channel love your adventures along with your informative fabrication projects. Added to those is the very well done narration and creativity you put into each video.

That sunset behind your campsite at the lakeshore was epic! Thanks for taking us along!

In 1992, I drove a stock 1952 Willys CJ3A down the Rincon road all the way to Lake Powell. Okay, it had a newer, more powerful four cylinder engine.

Way cool Rudy My ancestors used that trail. Now we're still in Arizona. I definitely have a new bucket list item. Thank you 👍

So Rudy, when is the bumper swing away get add!! So you can carry spare fuel?? I thought you may have learned better from your dad, about running on fumes!! Lol But that was an epic, three day adventure, thanks for taking your RU-vid Community along! Janelle, did a amazing job driving the trail system. Glad to see both of you out enjoying life and have fun together..

Good to see you growing and living life. Thats awesome.

I couldn't really see the front of Brent's Jeep before he was towing Rudy, or I just didn't notice, but the decals he's got on his windshield and fenders prove him to be a man with a terrific sense of humor.

Next upgrade, cameras by both front tires. AKA: hole avoidance! Thank You Rudy for bringing us along on your adventures. So much fun!

Thanks for taking us along Rudy and Janelle. Stunning views from that side of Lake Powell.

You guys are on a great track here. The vibe you are sharing, the storytelling is intriguing, the adventure relatable, and clearly not over. I appreciate you taking the extra time to put this all together! Thanks

Awesome! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Great video Rudy, Janelle is a good driver on the tough trails, admire her for that.

Nice adventure. That was a hell of a hole! Can't wait to hear about the fancy lights at the end. Good ol red n blue

That was cool 👍 sorry to hear about you running out of fuel. Nice to have help around when you need it.

15 yr old driving my truck home from visiting my girlfriend, had no money lol ? taken short cut on old dirt trail and found out when truck was on E it was EMPTY !, i WALKED 3.5 MILES AT MIDNIGHT to the nearest paved road with a house to borrow gas, cloudy no stars no moon, but occasional bursts of lightning that aloud me to count far more Rattle Snakes than I had seen , oh lets not forget the Panthers I heard sounding like a girl screaming. The hog farmer gave a ride & 3 gallons, in return I paid him with 3 days of planting squash & peppers & helping with the hogs. I have never run out of fuel again. that was over 50 years ago. Rudy I am enjoying your videos.

That's an awesome trail. Thanks for showing us. It seems Janelle really found her natural ability in front of a camera. Got to see Rudicon stuck in a hole, and back out again. Great all around video.

This was an Adventure and History trip. Beautiful country, sunsets,scary trails. Thanks Rudy, JaNelle for sharing your Adventures. Please break this habit of Not fueling up! Lol. Thanks Brent for getting Rudy back safely. Looking forward to the next Adventure. 🤙😎

I love the creativity. The couch with the sunset behind you as you narrated the trip. That concept add something that you do not typically see. It looks like a fun trip. There was a good mix or rock crawing and seeing the landscape aorund you. I love seeing some of nature on the trails. Thanks for sharing.

Just like another interesting Matt’s Off Road Recovery. Rudy passing out like Lizzy and running out of gas like his dad 😂 that trail looks really cool.

I loved this video, I really enjoy the shots of the scenery as well as seeing the crazy antics you get up to. I cannot believe you ran outta gas, just like your Dad, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I am glad you made it outta that hole without any real damage. I'm looking forward to your next video.

Rudy, I love the format, the camera work, camera “eye” and the structure of your theme! Keep up the good work!

That is some beautiful country, and a great video! I always love the drone shots. Well done!! Looking forward to more.

That was amazing!! Thanks for taking us along!!

Thanks Rudy for taking us along on your adventure. I love the way you presented it. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Stay safe healthy and happy 👍

Rudy & Janelle incredible content, view and adventure 👍 not forgetting the new nugget of Mormon history 🇺🇸Thxs for sharing 🇺🇸

I'm 100% disabled and a power chair and to see your video is so cool thank you something I would never see in a lifetime thank you so much for bringing this video so cool wow the sites were incredible and your new little love interest Chanel you're a lucky man

I am a fan of your Dad's recovery videos, seeing you both on your own channel is perfect, I am a big fan in Los Angeles, can't wait to see the next one and what you will do with your channel, Thank you.

Great stuff all around. Great editing with the story telling cut in, beautiful scenery and fancy driving (right into a hole, oops) . Thanks for taking us long with a history lesson to boot. Let's just skip overt the gas situation.

Thanks Rudy, what a great adventure. I did very similar things when I was a young man about your age. That’s been ~ 35 years ago now. But I’ve never stopped traveling. I’ve been all around the world. For me, there is nothing greater, than the great outdoors. Be safe, have fun, work hard, play hard, and may God bless you always.

JaNelle doing some of the driving is good to see. Training your partner and friend is important to us as we all learn new skills.

Brent and Bandit seemed like they'd be great to be on the trail with. Cool guide and his jeep

Amazingly beautiful video. So glad you didn't do a flipperooski when you decided to drive into that hole. Keep these videos coming please!

learn the lessons once and wisdom is yours, brent and crew are why adventures are best shared

Great video, looks like a great trip. Thanks for taking us along!! And let's do it again sometime!

Hadn't seen this one. Love the way you presented this as narrator telling the story. On the sofa out in the landscape was cherry on top.

You three make great trail & filming partners. Hope there's lots more to come! 👍

Nice adventure, was thinking prior to you stating “like father like son”. Enjoy your channel, thanks for sharing!

Awesome adventure. The sites were beautiful!! Really enjoyed this video Rudy and JaNelle. Keep it up and look forward to many more.

Really enjoyed watching this adventure, loved watching Otis having fun too- what a cutie.

That is a beautiful area/trail. Been there a couple of times. It's about as remote an area as you can find in the continental US. Gotta be prepared, fuel, water, whatever. You did the #1 thing IMO, you didn't go alone. That shelf road onto Grey Mesa has some pucker factor. The history of the Mormon pioneers that crossed that route is almost unbelievable. Our ancestors were hardier folk than people today.

That was an amazing adventure! Even driving off into the hole and having to be pulled back! You learned some great history and the determination of wanting to go somewhere! The FIRST rock crawlers!!🙂

Rudy, janelle, watching this and your obvious need for a slower pace, I could imagine, you visiting cerro Gordon ghost town living. Your energys would match so well! I'm really enjoying the slowed down pace of your videos now, film enough to be able to have time for yourselves and congratulations on the channel and the success that is coming your way.

Run Otis, Run! More Otis the super pup.

Rudy ran out of gas, like Father,like Son.....😂😂😂😂👍👍

Rudy, your jeep is amazing! Wish my XJ was half as capable as yours. Has been awesome to see it's transformation and its abilities increase as you put it through the paces. Looking forward to what you do next! Thanks!

Loving the video, had to laugh at the fuel problems, we have all been there, I figured Brent would just share some of his Roto pack with ya? Keep the content coming, we enjoy. Thanks

Amazing what our heritage had to go through to get to where they wanted to be. But all they had was time. Ruddy keep it up. Show us more kk

Awesome video and love the drone footage, what a view. Great job with the story time, from your couch in the desert.

That looks like a seriously good time !!! A scenic trail, some history involved, I had no idea that the pioneers carved out the rock to get their wagons down it. Super cool!!! This is an awesome video Rudy. Well done.

Absolutely love Otis and how he is always with you on your adventures! I have 3 Bostons myself! The video footage was gorgeous!

Rudy you have made me jealous! That looks like an amazing trip..we love going off road in Moab, we have driven part of that route through Kanab on the highway. We have visited St. George and Hurricane but we are all the way in South Carolina. 😪 Makes visits rare...wish we could figure out a way to move closer to your area and enjoy trips like yours more often!😢 Thanks for taking us along 😬

This was so well done. Great positive vibes throughout. Thank you!

That looked like an incredible trip. Thanks for taking us along. Nice job!

What an adventure! Love the scenery. The hole looked very scary, glad you didn't roll it. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.

Rudy, your jeep is the essence of function before fashion!

It's amazing adventures like this that really make life worth living... Keep on keeping on!!!

One of my favorite trails. This was my experience in a SXS and prompted us to buy our own. Can't wait to go back and do it again.

"Like father, like son... I ran out of fuel" Gotta love adventure off roading,

Great video, best yet IMHO. The “Couch in the Desert” should become a trademark for you channel. Well done! Cheers.

What a great trip! So awesome to see this perspective of EJS. That sunset at Lake Powell was amazing!

That looks like an amazing time. We are in the process of uprooting our lives leaving New York and coming out to Utah. I am looking forward to trips like the one you just did.

A good jeep build makes the drive look easy. Nice.

At 14:30 "That was gnarly" sounded exactly like your dad. So awesome. Caught me off guard

Hi < Rudy . I just wanted to say that is one of the best 4x4 adventures i have seen . Beautiful state you live in , Rudy . Your lady friend is driving pretty good too . Best of luck to you , stay safe . looking forward to more of these . BTW Maybe hang a couple of extra fuel cans on that jeep . LOL Kindest Regards Terry Lembke

Love watching your new channel Rudy

Great video. Well edited! Looked like a fun time! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

That looked like a lot of Fun! Thank you for the ride along!!

Good trip great video editing looked good and for all those thinking fuel cans are for show I emptied them out first night before I knew he was low on fuel or I would have gave him some thank for coming hopefully next year you can come along again

13:15 Lean test = Pass! Good trails and history sharing. Thanks! When you mentioned fuel, instantly thought of MORR video fun times.

Awesome sun set, looks like it was a great trip, halfdun,did quite well even without fuel 🤣😂 them gaurges don't fill themselves, all the best to you all and your loved ones

Beautiful scenery. That's for taking us along.

Great scenery and loved watching the BT play along the way! Keep up the good work!

Great video, Rudy and JaNelle! Your channel is beginning to find its voice, and that's a cool thing. Wishing you more great adventures and much success in the future.

Great video Rudy. Glad your on your own. Please keep your videos real. No drama. Don't be like Dad. Fill up or carry extra gas. Stay safe.

Looks like you inherited the gas forgetfulness from dad, lol. Super sweet wheeling, and looks like Janelle has some real driving skills! Keep up great work!
