OVERNIGHT IN A HOT TENT IN DEEP SNOW

  • I often get asked if I'm scared of wildlife. The short answer is no. At this time of year, I am not afraid, even when there is clear evidence that my tent is surrounded by animals. I am seeing lots of tracks around my tent. Some of the tracks look like they come from a coyote. Others look like they come from a mink or maybe a martin.
    Some years there are next to no tracks around my tent, but for some reason this year, there are more than ever.
    Join me for a night in the deep dark forest.

    Jay, you have to setup a trail cam. It would be interesting to find out who you’re curious visitors are. Plus you could check the SD card while at the tent.

    You know your business and how to behave in the wilderness. You face a challenge every time you go to your tent and that already needs a lot of courage. The wild world is never the same and that's what makes it so fascinating. Keep safe Jay 💕

    As usual, I love your work. It is just so cool to spend time in the woods. In the cold. Your photography has gotten so good. The shots of the trees and ice were stunning. You in front of the stove and talking was so well done. I too enjoy being surrounded by wild animals. I live alone in the woods. Animals do not scare me. None of them do. People scare me. Stay happy.

    Jay, glad you have this place to get away. I live in a larger rural area and it gets larger by the day. I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, and I have to be honest I desperately miss those days. Love the outdoors and really miss it here in SC. It's too hot for me most of the year down here, combine that with nearly tropical levels of humidity and it's a nightmare. Love the great white northern countryside. I am really glad your drone can manage being up in that cold in hover while you take those great shots. Being so cold I am surprised the battery and drone itself don't stop functioning. I am also happy you have a lady friend who like to occasionally come up and spend some time up there with you. I wish I could convince my wife to do some cold weather camping, but she is a 30 year+ resident of SC and hates the cold haha. Keep up the great work.

    Jay, definitely not a fox, as nit in a straight line. If it was coyote or wolf, there would probably be more as these are pack animals, for the most part. Plus, with the crisp cold night there, you should hear coyotes yelping or the howl of a woof. With the depth and softness of the snow, you would see signs of body drag if it was wolverine, unless it was bounding when the front and back paws would be together. I would nit be too concerned though. If the animal wanted something in the tent, they would definitely wouod have been in there when you were not around.
    Take care.

    @jeannemarcinek4575 Před rokem

    So corn chips start fires, that is good for campers they do not have to find wood. Of course in the summer time it would not be good. For the bears would probably look for them. As far as the cooking it seems every time people who cook in the woods the smell smoke goes all around and the wild animals can smell it. Then they come around looking, but you know nothing is there eventually they will not come back. That would be cool to see what animal is coming around, as far as not being afraid as long as you feel safe. Besides it is the two legged that I would be afraid of, the animals are pretty predictable but humans are not. Love where you camp it is so calm and peaceful. Blessings

    Your videos are always calming and informative. It is reassuring to know that you don't have to worry about the wild animals. It would be no fun if you were scared...especially in such a remote location. Have you ever had an incident with an unwelcome visitor? I still think it would be a good idea to have a firearm handy. That was an awesome smoked sausage and fried egg breakfast. Add some hash browns and it would have been perfect 😉 Looking forward to your next video.

    I've been divorced since 2012 ,and still alone,it took me close to a yr to feel comfortable at remote property that I have now.its a rv with a room added on with a wood stove so very comfortable.
    There are cottages around but this area is for seasonal cottagers in the summer, hardly anyone around in the winter.im about 9 km back a dirt Rd with different wild animals .
    One of the biggest I'd seen was a bobcat, about the size of a small Sheppard,.
    Their's lots of deer .
    Black bear also.
    What I do find annoying are the raccoons

I wouldn't worry too much about wildlife in the dead of winter - spring and autumn, though, that's another matter - but you do have to remember to yell "Hit the Subscribe button!" at them when you're leaving.

    That snow machine shot at the end was Great 👍 that looked awesome! You can't ever expect to go super remote without critters because that's were they live. People don't always get that or how to just respect that situation

    I think I was the first viewer a few days ago but had nothing to say. I loved it all. Today I appreciate your description of your progression into loving the wild, cold, and being alone. I appreciate it all. The year I lived in CA and hiked were awesome. Now I have to get out. I live way from the city but not far enough. My hope is to have a small house mid state with birch trees and some land. I don't want to hear noise except animals. In some ways, it could be quieter where I am with so much building going on. I need a hospital and food delivery. If you have any ideas on where I might migrate to in Canada, I surely would be grateful. I am alone. No man. I wish there was but there isn't. I would like a small house put together well and quiet ideally with a view of water. Near hospital and healthy food. Bless you but I could not eat the food you eat although I love it. I love kielbasa and may get some for Easter. Thank you so much for posting your stories and adventures. Much better than movies. Also lovely to meet one of your daughters. You are sweet together.
