- What an amazing day at the camp in Northern Canada. A snowstorm hit just as I was arriving at camp. The winds were very strong and the snow was whipping in my face. But it was perfect. I was blown away by the beauty and the power of the cold. This was a rare trip for me. It was a simple, last-minute day trip that turned into a moment in my life I won't forget. Also, I am finally able to make it to this remote camp on my snowmobile. What a day!
Here are all of my tiny cabin hot tent videos: czcams.com/users/playlist?list...
Follow me on Instagram: / ajayinthewoods
How much experience do I have?
That depends. I am pretty good at starting a fire these days and gathering wood. But I don't really have true bushcraft skills and definitely no carpentry or construction skills or training. I could probably make a shelter if I had to, but that would just come from all the CZcams training (watching) over the years.
What gear do I use?
Canon 90D camera
Rode videomicro
Sigma Art 18-35mm 1.8
Sigma Art 50mm 1.4
Canon 10-18mm stm
I do not live in the tent. I just visit whenever I can. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I live in the UK I’m 71 At the moment I’m going from one illness to the other. I’m not able to wander around in countryside anymore. Your videos make me feel as though I’m out in the wilds in the fresh air, hearing the trees talking and the wind blowing into my face. I used to love waking up in a tent. I couldn’t endure the cold anymore. Thank you
Stay safe at home and watch as many of this type of videos as you can. There are many many of them.
All u guys who venture out to this kind of situation are crazy or ETS
God bless you and thanks for sharing this!
Here’s your Irish brother from another mother. I too am 71 and dealing with a succession of illnesses.
Its ok we all travel through this phase . but memries must be remembered with a smile i mean memories. We are lucky to have gone thru such wonderful time Just relax
I’m so grateful for these videos, I have severe insomnia and your videos relax me so much and give me something peaceful to think about while I fall asleep. Please don’t ever stop making these .
Me too.
Me also
I’m another who enjoys these calming videos in bed!
Hello hello Insomniacs
I moved to Colorado to live around the Rocky Mtn Wilderness,study Native American Medicine and Holistic Healing & Wilderness Emergency Medicine.
Being in and around nature has several healing benefits,especially for Insomnia.
It helps to spend some hours during the week in a forest preserve,garden,beach,natural parks,etc.
Avoid too much caffeine and other stimulants. Water,served almost ice cold,will also help keep your body hydrated and help with sleep. Teas without caffeine,designed to help sleep are worth researching and trying.
When I was coming off heroin, I would have to take this medication when I wake up. I would wake up in full opiate withdrawal (nausea, horrible chills, bone pain, etc) and have to take the medication to make it go away. I would take the meds, turn on your channel, and hide under the covers till I felt normal. I would be in a 72 degree room and have horrible chills down to the bone, watching this guy out in real cold. Love this channel. Appreciate the hard work. It got me through that horrible time. Thanks!
Communism is good.
Communism is good!!! What are you smoking 🚬 or drinking 🍸 now. U like Communism, move to Cuba 🇨🇺 or Russia, even China 🇨🇳 or north Korea for that matter.
I wish I was young.im 71 &watching this wonderful video makes me cry.o what a life that you have doing something that we all enjoyed as kids with tons of energy & heads full of ideas..No such thing as fear in your life,but now at 71 I have to be careful every step I take.its facinating to see you enjoying....
I thought I was the only one who enjoyed instant coffee when you're snowed in in the wilderness. Long Live Sanka
You are not the only one! Ha.
I am actually a little jealous of your camp! 😁. I would absolutely love to have a place of solitude like that!! I am a 64 year old GRANDMOTHER and I could absolutely spend alone time like this! Yes, I’m a country girl and I love it! My husband always says if I lived in a city…I’d probably be in jail 🤣🤣. I love a quiet life….and your camp is what people like us strive for! It’s not only for fun but, it’s soooo therapeutic! Great for the body and soul!! ENJOY!! It’s truly a treasure! 👍❤️😊
I'm 72 and I feel the same. I'm just not physically able to do it anymore.
I forgot I was watching CZcams. I kept expecting someone to spring out of the woods with an axe.
I really liked this. So cozy.
I’m only a few seconds into the video but I already appreciate the effort; setting up the camera, driving away, driving around the corner and then off screen, then back to his camera. Jay you put a lot of work in, and it shows. Keep it up eh!
I definitely like to work for my videos. It always brings me great joy when I get back home and have the footage I want. Thanks for noticing! Jay
I’ve been watching you for a long while now Jay. Over 800,000 views on this video! Wow!!!! Nice to see your effort being rewarded.
Аааап
Not like
Just join army and try for Arctic light infantry training. Or you could just drag a gas grill in a baesement.
I have watched hundreds of great outdoor camping video’s in the winter, before, during, and after a winter storm, I watched them build shelters, campfires, beds etc. but what I have never seen is anyone build a latrine (toilet). They don’t have to demonstrate using it, but at else show that you have one, or some new modern day method designed for camping. No one can go three days camping without relieving themselves, its part of life, human nature, nothing to be shamed about.
Jay uses a bucket to relieve himself at night and empties it in the morning
All that's missing is a dog! A dog would SO enjoy being there enjoying the camping with you. I'm always happy when I see a man and his best friend out in the wilderness enjoying the solitude and hanging out together. It seems like a part of the experience is missing without a big, jolly dog romping and frolicking in the snow.
Think about it. Your views will triple with an adorable pup. 😍
This is a whole culture that I have never learned but thank you so much for teaching
I think I want to move to Canada. It seems like such a wonderful place. Open, beautiful, and filled with good people.
Not now. Stay where you are. The healthcare system has fallen. People are sick and they're in the emergency room for A-day or more.
It is a wonderful place!
I'm from Edmonton alberta Canada, you would love to visit it, beautiful place
@@maryjeanunguran3971 Google says, "Edmonton is renowned for its amazing quality of beef, along with bacon and pork," so I'm seriously considering taking my dogs up there, finding a little land, and building a home.
This guy seems like he would be cool just to hang out with, he seems really in tune with himself and the outdoors!
These videos def help with my lack of sleep, especially right now as I come down from 2 years of solid drinking. Ty
You are a very very brave man to go into the wilderness in this weather! I get insecure when cold. Came from walking home freezing in the dark from school as a kid. Stay safe and warm!! WOW, that is like a cabin! Love it! Safe and warm!
I'm a big fan of woolies too. You cant beat what the good lord designed to keep the critters thru the cold
Usually I prefer the camping trip videos with no talking of hardly any, but your articulation is great to listen to. Keep doing your thing, keep finding the important and bests parts of your soul in the isolation of beautiful nature and all it's changes and moods. Respect, peace and love!
As a human who lives in the tropics, I really want to feel the snow
The snow is so cold that we people could fear this really but we are never tired of it.
Lol.
As a person stuck in the snow I really want to feel the tropics. Wanna switch?
@@Page5framing it's pretty funny, because I was raised in the tropics-Hawaii-, and sort of living in area where we may get snow-Nevada, Arizona- I guess this is one of those were the grass is literally greener on the other side if you haven't ever lived in it
@@keahithefieryone8513 I have lived in both. As my dad always says you don’t have to shovel sunshine. 😂
I love how he's not advertising 💯 but he is for my kinda stores 💯 thrift stores are the best way to go 🥰💯❤️
WOW !!! A beef sausage sandwich with crushed onions pickles and mustard sauce a perfect hot dog 5 star sandwich in snow in forest in desert it's just 5 stars! !👍👍👍
I’m team whatever condiment fits your fancy- you’re working hard and you’re having fun! Sending warm and good vibes
Playing right!!!
I love mustard too. Burgers, dogs, ham. Even a big juicy pickle dipped in mustard is a good snack!!
✌️💛🇨🇦
Woah, never heard of that. Must try it.
Hi jay, from Adam in Newfoundland. I’m sure you’ve had store bought bottled sweet mustard pickles with the little sweet onions and cauliflower when u lived home. Or at least it was always a thing to have with cooked dinner here on the island growing up.
@@jaylegere u have had it pickles with mustard on green chile cheese burgers
Golly what a setup so cosy and yummy.....I love the sound of the crunching snow when you walk on it....cheers 👍🇦🇺🦘⛄
.
Isn't that just Beautiful 💟☃️🌨💟 !!! Thanks for sharing !!!!!🤗🇺🇸
Thanks for taking us along on your snow adventures. No way this old lady can get out there except with you and others like you that will take me along by video.
Appreciate you taking the time out to chronicle your adventures. A great reminder of satisfying times in the bush with family and friends and a way for me to bridge the times in-between.
love God's weather , two great seasons: summer/hot & winter/cold . I am very glad happy other people enjoy the two seasons God shares with humanity
Thanks so much - greatly enjoyed by us all. Bob in Nevada
I absolutely LOVE the fact your sweaters comes from thrifting instead of from fancy store for $400.00. I subscribed to your channel the second you said that. It’s refreshing to watch someone navigate this type of camping w/o fancy, expensive sponsors.
I’m excited to watch your past adventures and new ones.
I don’t live where this type of camping is an option. So, I live vicariously through you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!! Happy Camping
Thrift stores are definitely places for great deals. A good ol’ wood stove and a propane stove too, whew, way to go! Gonna be a warm tent. Texas
Hi Jay, I think the 'star' of your video was that woodstove! If a viewer wanted to build the best woodstove every, they simply have to watch your video and copy that stove - period.
'Safe travels!
One of the things I loved about living in Gunnison, CO was the 2nd-hand stores. With Crested Butte ski resort just up the road, there was a LOT of clothing and outdoor gear on sale that'd only been used once or twice by some rich vacationer. They'll buy the stuff, use it once for one trip, and then it makes its way to the thrift store. I got lots of wool and goretex that way
Ketchup, mustard, mayo, heck yeah love it. Good to see you back out in the snow, the excitement you have is very obvious. Looking forward to see what you do with the other campsite, as they say "variety is the spice of life"
Jay, there's nothing I love more, than cooking up something comforting and sitting down to watch a video of yours, Joe's, or Steve's. It warms the heart to see good people, doing things that bring me a bit of inner peace. I'm happy to see you've gotten out there a bit ahead of what you had said in the last video, and I'm happy to see you happy. Now.... As far as condiments go.... People are gonna have their preferences, they'd do well by themselves if they could keep from getting so riled up, over something that literally has no effect on them. 🤷♂️ Looking forward to the future videos. Peace, my friend.
Hi Michael. Thanks for this comment. Those other 2 channels are awesome and having you put me in that category means a lot. Sincerely, Jay
@@jaylegere Any time, bud! While you've all got your own distinct styles, it's still outdoors, and while watching the other two bring me plenty of joy, the serenity of your videos, in my opinion, is just unrivaled. Thanks for replying. It's appreciated.
Looking back on this video. Compared to The Dragon, this thing was a smoke monster. Goodness gracious, Jay!!! I'm glad your Mom's b/f made you The Dragon.
I find your videos so relaxing and unpretentious. You're just a regular guy that has this amazing tarp tent/cabin. You make the most of the space and it really looks homie.(sp?) Thank you for what you do. That you have a G/F as wonderful as Crystal and a loving daughter. You're living the dream, brother!!! God bless!!!
Awesome comment. Thanks so much, Edward.
Also watched it three times. Helps unwind my mind before bed.
Man those shelters are really cool. Nice and roomy but also sturdy because they're reinforced on the inside very impressive
I stumbled up on your videos and I’m enjoying them a lot. It reminds me when my husband and I camp many years ago out in the woods and especially in the dead of winter. It seem to be a lot more peaceful sitting around the camp fire and cooking either on our Coleman or fire pit. I’m now a senior and I’m really enjoying going back and watching all your videos. Oh yeah, mustard is the way to go, 😆
Have goose bumps just watching
First time I've heard that one!
Great video, what I'm personally missing from all these and other videos is how they actually did this back in the real days...
One thing on my bucket list is just being out in the middle of the woods rather in a cabin or set up like yours and go thru a winter storm. The peace that comes from that is worth any cold i have to put up with
And that is how Search and Recovery missions begin!
Awesome to see the snow flying again and to hear that machine whirring across the lake. Brings back memories of days gone by in the northern reaches of the US, when I was a lot younger. Now we only have to wait for the first sighting of the Wolf Sweater and the season will be in full swing. After that, perhaps a fish dinner or two from the lake. Maybe that older tent can be transformed into a makeshift ice-shanty for keeping the wind off when out on the lake jigging for dinner.

Alway like the cooking and eating!!! Jay loves his food!!!
Yummy 😋 Yummy
I love ❤️ ketchup, mustard, and a little relish on my sausage or hotdog! It’s the best….
You have an awesome camp. That a great idea having a wooden frame under your hot tent ⛺️. I wish I was in good enough health to do winter camping like you all do, but chronic pain and other health issues keeps me from being able to do the work required. I also live in a place that doesn’t get a lot of snow ❄️ in the winter anymore. It sure is beautiful up there where you are at. I’m 56 years old and still a kid at heart ❤️ when it comes to having a good old fashioned snow storm. I remember the blizzard of 77, we got so much snow that year. We got out of school for Christmas break and didn’t go back to school until sometime in February . We lucked out and didn’t have to make up the days we missed because of all the snow.
What a neat little story from your childhood. Thanks for sharing that, Debbie. I sure wish we'd get a storm that lastest weeks around here.
@@jaylegere
It was an awesome time from my childhood days! We hardly ever get the kind of snowstorms like we used to. The last time we did was in the winter of 2013-2014. That was a really brutal winter with lots of snow and temperatures so cold that it caused fuel to freeze. We didn’t have a blizzard like 77, but it was pretty deep that year and stayed on the ground until spring!
Jay, it's been an amazing journey watching the video's, seeing just how much progress from the old tent, to where you are now. You have shared so much with us all. It will be brilliant to be able to watch as you set up the new camp sight and share the winter seasons along the way. I'm waiting for more lights in the sky footage and the deep crisp snow. Thank you 😊 💫
Have a nice day
yes sir, I love you videos
Love your videos J thank you so much for sharing. I watched him several times over and over.
Am housebound. Your video helps me imagine the great outdoors thanks
I might be wrong but to me it looks like you should weld a basin under your stove to allow the ash to drop in to it and let the fire have more air intake to burn more efficiently. Great video and love what you are doing. Keep up the good work!👌
Hey Jay! Greetings from Oklahoma. I visited Yellowknife for nearly two weeks in Feb 2020 just before COVID. I fell in love with it, the extreme cold, aurora, stunted trees, driving the ice roads and so much more. It awoke a love for the Arctic inside me that I never knew I had. My girlfriend and myself flew to Fairbanks, AK and drove the dalton highway to Coldfoot this winter just for fun so I could get my dose of the far north. Although I loved it, something seemed off. I think I enjoyed Yellowknife a bit more and hope to get up there this winter with my GF. Since I’m also an amateur botanist, my dream is to move up there someday and start an Arctic botanical garden. Love your videos. Take care!
Greetings fellow Okie!
Maybe what made it feel off was the shortness of the days. Lack of sunlight/daylight can mess with you. You don't realize how much that can drag you down, and all you know is things feel a little off. Or you feel a little off. I didn't even know I was depressed until I moved to Colorado and it was like a weight lifting off my shoulders. Idaho has a lot of gray days. Mountain valleys in Colorado you get direct sun almost every day. There can be a weather front going through, but local convection cells will punch holes in the clouds in the middle of the afternoon almost every single day. One of the local steak houses gave away free steaks on days that had no sun as a promo they almost never had to pay for.
Follow your Dream
Watching from a warm bed, duvet, snacks.... Wonderful
I think those style of sweaters are absolutely adorable. 🥰🤗
Fabulous video. Can't wait for the second build. Love the winter videos. Chilli sauce goes with everything and anything 👍👍
Just camped this weekend in my canvas tent 10x12 same brand. It was -32C and took tent 2 hrs to heat up. I built an internal wood frame with ridge beam and put 8x1 boards on walls. Tent holds up to 2’ of snow and has been up since April 2021.
It was cold as f and my cream froze for my coffee lol
Gotta have the mustard! What a beautiful camp.
The song you picked for the soundtrack is one of my favorites. I always play it two or three times when it comes up on my playlist.
It's like a Hollywood movie
Thanks Mike!
So glad to see you and the snowmobile! Now we know winter has truly come to stay, And the horizontal snow!!! Has me missing my Army wife days in Bremerhaven on the North Sea where it could get to -50. Down here in GA we don't get more than a dusting if we are lucky. Good to see you back with the winter videos. My favorite videos and youtuber. And Crystal gets two thumbs up with the sweaters!
Thanks for the nice compliment Holly. It means a lot to hear that you like the channel this much. And yes, Crystal has great taste!
جناح ذباب يومت المهيون ماك حكمه ع كاسيتك عاريتك
My ideal holiday. Amazing.
I like the stove made out of a drum. very well made.
I've come to really enjoy a night watching this adventure of your camp. Thank you for bringing us along on a wild adventure that has bloomed into so much more than a dude trying to build a tent in the woods.

I envy your love for the outdoors if I had those skills that is exactly how I’d want to live
Absolutely Beautiful Mother Nature
Idk about coffee ,I imagine anything warm but Smokies are a delicious treat in the bush
Jay - So exciting to see you back on the snowmobile! I enjoy your videos so much - Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you for watching and commenting! I love when people say hi!
Wow , that’s amazing, this is what you call real snow ❄️ lucky you guys 👌❄️ love snow ❄️ thanks for sharing !
Thank you, enjoyed watching you work at your camps.The snows beautiful !!!!!
I absolutely love mustard on all my sandwiches. Great stuff.
Awesome!!! You had a treat day ❄️ and you shared with everyone, thanks ☺️
Jay it's awesome seeing you do everything that you do. It inspires people so much to go out and be a part of the outdoors
Best cold weather sleeping bags are goose down. Layered, that means a low temp bag like a -30 with a thinner bag -15/-10 inside it and a fleece bag liner in that. Sleep in only your undies boxers or tighty whities, touque on your noggin and you will be so comfy. If your tent leaks, put your bags in a gore tex bivvy bag to keep them dry. As a bonus you can keep your next days clothes in between your sleeping bags to keep them warm but not sweaty. Make sure you air out the bags the next day to keep them dry and fresh for the night. That is essentially how the army does it and lives in a pup tent for a month at a time in the arctic.
Norway chiming in here. The hoodie is dragging your setup down. It absorbs water without keeping you warm. Wool can be wet and still keep you warm.
Get a waffle wool mid layer and you will have exactly what you describe: proper temerature regulation. Never to hot, nor cold. :)
Takes me back as a kid snowmobiling in winter storms.... Air cooled sleds run great in that kind of weather!
Great video!! 👍👍👍
Paul
Great video, Jay! I can see that you put quite a bit of time into your videos to give us a detailed look of what you’ve done and plan on doing. I love the cabin in the woods type camping at my place in east Texas. I have all the comforts of home at my home away from home and this reminds me of it, so I can appreciate your videos. I know that setting up cameras in strategic locations for the best shots is an art, but these are right down my alley. And the fact that you’re a down to earth guy………like me….. Thanks for sharing this with us. David
First time viewer here 👋🏾 this video quality is A+! Beautifully shot and edited
One step at a time Jay . One step at a time . Nice to see the ice is in the safe zoon now . Stay well man 🖖
Loving the snow. Winter outdoors and at the tent or my Cabin is awesome.
Great video Jay, waiting on the next one.
Be safe
I watched you about three or four years ago and those video were good but now it’s like a documentary movie. Great to watch.
This is by far your best video I have ever watched!!!!!!
I love these winter videos and the sound of that wind, I wouldn't mind living out there, a lovely video.
You are doing great job ☝️ as if i am there and my dreams come true thanks to watching your video jay 👏👏👏
Great job my friend enjoy your meal! You deserve it!🥰👍🙏💖 many family blessings 🙌
Nice to see the snow mobile in action again
Nice to ride the snowmobile again!
This guy needs millions of subscribers. Great content, and seems like just one hellava guy to hang out with.
Thanks so much!
@@jaylegere Random thought here! Reach out to Joe Robinet and see if he would do a collaboration!
you can't imagine how much I love the snow, this winter I will try to camp in New York ❄️☃️💚🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽
Your video was refreshing with everything going on in the world now a days. Thank you
Grey Poupon and ketchup on fries. Wonderful. dolup of each and drag the fry through. Great video Jay. We all missed you.
Hey Jay! I wasn’t expecting you to post another video until mid-December as per your last video. This was a nice surprise! Having your snowmobile sure makes it easier and quicker to do a fast trip to bring out things like your propane tank, do a few chores, then head back. Thanks for posting it. Look forward to a bunch more through the season. I’m looking forward to see what you come up with at the new site. Stay safe and stay well. 👍🏼
Surprised to see you so soon..the snowmobile makes a big difference
with the amount of supplies you can bring
Just saw a video this weekend on Kent Survival of a Russian bear hot tent.
That’s the Cadillac of winter tents. Never would have known what one was
Love the winter videos and all the things you do
Take care and stay warm 🇨🇦 ❤️
Gotta say that stove is kinda ingenious.
Simple food is always good dont matter what anyone else thinks !
Awesome video as always Jay. From someone who has never even seen snow, that snowfall at the start was amazing to watch and can only imagine what it was like to see.
Now... time to go and google what a Russian bear tent is LOL
Keep up the great work and glad you were able to get out for a day.
PS: Mustard and tomato sauce are a must have on a hot dog... yum!
Have a nice day
Hello Jay, just found your channel. Been loving every minute of it. Regarding things to put on a bun with sausages, it sounds super weird, but try spreading cream cheese on the bun too... it's amazing. Keep up the great content, much love from Wisconsin. :)
In the beginning of the video, it feels so cozy, yet it’s just snowwy
I like mustard, and ketchup, and a lot of other things. I also liked the video. While I hate the cold and would probably feel miserable if I did this kind of camping, I do find it to be very quiet, comfy, and peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Jay.
Haha, speaking of fire starter… I was explaining to my son why I wanted a wool rug for in our tent with the woodstove, and how wool is fire retardant. My son suddenly got a long face- turns out that he was saving all the loose wool from my sheepskin brush to put in his emergency bag to use as emergency fire starter. 😂 he’s 17. a+ for effort I guess, he’s been saving it for a year.
Hahaha. Poor guy. Still, sounds like he's got determination. He should clean out your drier lint from now on. That stuff lights like gas.
@@jaylegere Yes, he knows about dryer lint. He had been collecting that to begin with but had thrown the ‘amateur’ fire starter out in favour of real true manly bushcraft quality real wool. Guess he wanted to impress everyone with his skills. 🥰 at least he can stick it in his coat for extra warmth. A true bushcraft survivalist man always makes something work with whatever he has. 😉
That funny and cute!!!
yeah I saw a guy put out a engine fire with the wool blanket one time!!!
Awesome video as usual jay! I would love to do this, the struggle is the fun! Very excited about the new spot too!
That was a good time watching that! Thanks for using all the safety precautions..safety glasses..hearing protection..staying clear of the turning blade etc. So many people disregard all that. It was kule seeing you pull that barn beam from that old log. P.S. I like the American flag at the end..
VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...
Hey Joe! Another great video. I was just thinking if there was a way to use the top plate in ur wood stove to use as like a heat rock in the rest of the tent? You could heat that flat metal top piece that covers the grill top of the wood stove, then make a holder to place it in to move it around and use the radiant heat for something small. It obviously won’t heat the tent but maybe while working or sleeping to have it close. Just a suggestion 🍻
Interesting suggestion. Never thought about that.
