Hot tent camping alone in the forest

- When it's always cold and you are camping, you need a good source of heat ... and a good mode of transportation. It appears I have neither!! In my canvas tent, I use a wood stove. If you use a wood stove you need to make sure it's suitable for your needs. When it comes to my new little wood stove, I'm not convinced it's good enough. Today I need to make a little modification to improve it.
Also, have you ever poured boiling water over your ride in hopes that it will start???
New antlers and delicious all-beef hot dogs top off this fun episode in the woods.
Here are all of my tiny cabin hot tent videos: www.youtube.co....

Happy belated birthday to your daughter!! The excitement and relief on your face was priceless! So glad you did not have to walk. Another amazing video!
Stove mass, firebricks and baffles are the key to a good and efficient woodstove. As soon as that damper is in place one will always get a bit of smoke out of the door if open. Wood burning stoves are very efficient at burning firewood to produce heat thanks to a number of efficiency-enhancing designs such as baffle plates and controllable air vents. Hardwoods are always better than softwoods, but up North not always easy to find. You are getting there, hope the new stove helps out Jay.....Fred in Thunder Bay.Ontario
Very nice to hear you pay homage to your father . I sat by my fire and enjoyed every minute of this video. You are tearing it up Jay !! Your vids have become a pleasure to watch and enjoy 😉
Niagara Falls Canada loves ya brother 🇨🇦👍
Nice to have a person in the family with mega talent.Fun to listen to what has happen in someone’s life for tranquility for your mom.🇺🇸🐻
That's fantastic, always listen to the old timers...nothing beats experience!!!
I love the antlers. Such a blessing to have a step dad to give you memories....and share his talents with you to give you treasures for you to enjoy and remember him with. Sentimental items mean so much.
You looked like a little boy getting his first train set for Christmas when that sled started! I had to giggle! I hope the sleepover went well, my dad used to love making breakfast (usually pancakes and bacon & eggs) for 10 little girls when I was little and had my birthday sleepovers. I lost my dad in 2012 to cancer and I miss him as much or more today than I did the day he passed. I’m sorry you lost your father so young Jay, it sounds to me like you have a bevy of memories to lose yourself in and warm your heart in. I am glad however that your mum has found someone to share her life with and that you and he get on so well. I wasn’t so welcoming of my mum’s new beau until I saw how happy he made her and that was enough for me to give him a chance. They’ve been together 9 years now and he’s a great guy. I’m also really happy you didn’t have to walk back to the vehicle in that cold 🥶!
I was so happy for you that worked. What a relief.
so glad i waited up for this at the moment im at home with fractured ribs no snow yet but high winds took me off my bike so thanks jay this video has cheered me
Hope you get better soon mate 👍👍
Feel better soon, friend. Hang in there.
@@lloydcarter5216 bourbon helps
Hi Dean I have fractures all over. From a fall so I know how you feel take it easy. It will heal. Prayers for you to be strong and well Amen.
@@Je22345 thank you
It's a good feeling when you are able to extract yourself from a tough situation. Thanks for the video Jay!
You can tell your first dad was an artist,your bush craft videos and tent are more visually appealing then most,(my dad was an artist).
I don't think you woulda been more excited if Crystal said yes a few weeks ago than you were about that fuel pump workn🤣🤣🤣. The look on your face was pure relief. I guess in a way, you could say, dad, and Jerry made you the best of both worlds, eh?? That's awesome. So many people are either or but we as human beings can be many things. Its healthy lol. Tyfs God bless you
What's up Jay? Love the sound of a good hot dog over an open fire. When it starts whistling, You know its gonna be a good dog. Thank Goodness for the hot water. Stay Safe.
Your videos are the best!real live,reality,love it!!!
Great video! Thank you! Sounds you have an awesome family and happy birthday to your daughter!
That's crazy Jay. Fixing a snowmobile with hot water.
Love to see the tent when it’s clean and organized ready for our adventure
Desperate times call for desperate measures! I'm glad it worked!
Nice to see you back Jay, another great video :)
So glad you got the snowmobile going the excitement in your voice was priceless. 🙂🇨🇦👍
Definitely a quick, but fun and enjoyable video! Really glad you got your snowmobile working so you didn’t have to walk home. Sounds like it’d be a nightmare. Glad to see you’re in good spirits and loving life as you go through it. Thanks for the epic video, and I’ll be there for the next one!
We are all cheering with you jay. Blessings
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on
Jay, I have every confidence that somewhere on the block of your sled you can find a place to attach a silicone oil pan heater. The same as those used on oil pans of cars. They have assorted sizes, with assorted wattages and none of them use that much power. Just plug in to your Jackery when you arrive, toss the cover on the sled to hold in heat.
Glad the boiling water worked. Gas as it evaporates makes cold colder. And by the by, We miss seeing Crystal in your videos. She is 'value added'. Good video.
Best
Awesome. Glad it started. I agree the look on your face. Great video Jay. Cheers
You’re the man Jay, great vid! Love your stoke at the end!
I've never seen a damper that low. Usually they're about 5 feet or so, but you do you. Loving the channel. On our camp stove we have knobs(?) on each door that screw in or out to allow air flow. Your solution seems quite small. If you were to enlarge that you might get better air flow.
I thought they same thing about the damper... He kinda forgot to let us know if it made a difference🤣 but I assume him dealing with this snowmobile took over all other thoughts... Nobody wants to leave a perfectly good ride and walk for over and your in hip deep snow when its 30 below out🤣😎
Maybe they do it different up north there but here in the US it usually only a foot or two above the stove itself
Hi Jay, I know that feeling of 'oh crap'.. getting a machine to try and start. I had some issues with my quad a month or so ago - when we hit -38c temps in Haliburton Forest here in Ontario.... my quad actually dropped in voltage... and I had to boost it, but I keep a tent heater at my cabin with a propane bottle, just in case - and I put it under my quad to heat up the battery and whatnot.... covering the machine also really helps - even if its just a tarp.. it keeps the frost from getting into the parts and freezing them - I swear ..even if its only for a short while, that its the best thing to do. I've never had to deal with a frozen fuel pump... but I've had to use gas line anti-freeze a few times, and keep some in both the quad and sled. Great video as always.
The look on your face when the snowmobile started....PRICELESS! I love the camping through your eyes and experiences.
me too
@@deanmartin9358 is this the Dean Martin? I thought you died
@@walkergillette3918 love it ha ha
Just pee on it I guess. The snowmobile
WHEW!!!!! I was worried about you there for a moment maybe having to walk over an hour back. I'm glad the hot water worked! Yay Jerry!
Jay just love your videos keep on keeping on be safe and warm. Stove look s good . Now you can get warm.
Dude!!!! I am sooooooo glad you got that sled running!!! No fun walking that far in deep snow. Great video!!! Was looking forward to the monster stove, however..... LOL
Your content is awesome! Camping in it's purest form.wel look forward to the next one
So glad the hot water work .
Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Jerry Jerry Jerry awesome J keep it coming
Thanks Jay, for the personal info on your dad and now "dad". I can see how they have both had an influence on the path you are on.
Hurray for Jerry and hot water!!
Glad it worked out for you!
That was a crazy episode! You fixed your stove damper so you can get a new stove soon, then you hung up that really nice antler hanger that Crystal gave you then you MacGyver your snowmobile. I'm glad you didn't have to walk home.
Great video and everything worked out for you. I'm glad you got the snow mobile running and made it back for the birthday.`
That boiled water trick was great. Haha
Jay, you are the man buddy !👍
Brilliant! Huge how to on the sled!
Awesome ending!
😊💫 Loved the video - three cheers for Jerry! Enjoy the party 🥳 .
Wow you got lucky, sure glad that sled started. I can't imagine being stranded in that cold out in the wilderness. Get a new relay asap and put dielectric grease on all the contacts. Have fun at the party and Happy Birthday to your daughter. That antler hanger is cool, Crystal is very thoughtful. Stay safe Jay, looking forward to the new stove...
Jay, Thanks for sharing about your dad, looking forward to seeing what stove can Jerry can build .for you. Glad you got your sled going and hope the party went well. Take Care!
Brilliant video 👍💯
O my 😁 that was awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽glad you got your snowmobile started …. Hope the party went well 🎊🎂🎈🎁🥳🎉
That’s so awesome mate! I had to do the same thing with my 1995 Toyota hilux in winter lol.. hello from Australia! 🇳🇿 really enjoy your vids! Keep them coming mate 👍
Build a little snowmobile garage against the tent to take advantage of the heat from the tent :)
That worked really good. Jerry to the rescue lol.
Nice trip with the hot water !
I absolutely love how EVERYBODY starts a fire different, and how everybody thinks they do it the best🤣... Kind of like driving🤣 my A.D.D goes crazy when I'm in person watching someone else start a fire... Watching all these bushcrafty videos has helped with that though😉
Dam it Jay close ups of cooking hot dogs before my tea is ready ain’t on man, I’m bloody starving and its still an hour away.👍🤣👍🤣
OH my God, so happy it started,this granny was rooting for you,I am not a mech either scary,stay warm safe enjoy
Congrats on the 100k. You help so many people fall asleep I guarantee. Your vids and calmness comes hand in hand. Love ya
I just love your videos!! Great job.........
Awesome video, loved the hot water trick lol Can't wait to see the new stove! Cheers!
Great episode!
Nice work on that snow mobile haha. Another great videi. Cheers
Hi Jay! Thanks again for the great content! Next time you do a "Hi, I'm Jay" episode, I'd love to know in very general terms what your 'real job" is! Buther, Baker, Candle Stick Maker? I vote for some type of Accountant. Keep up the great content!
Great video and a word of advice... when drilling into metal set your drill speed to 1 and let the bit cut.
Awesome fix Jay! Was worried
I was watching this in the early morning. I am craving a char-grilled hotdog. 🌭😋 Thanks for the fun video!
Priceless ! ! !
Hahaha that worked !! Man that was a deadly save !
Good on you and jerry with the hot water trick
Glad you got your sled going that would have been a long walk, can't wait to see the new wood stove it sounds like it will be a keeper
An important lesson learned here. Be sure to ride your snowmobile with a full bladder. 😆 Seriously though, why wouldn't you buy a Ski-Doo? I could see buying a Yamaha for a motorcycle or ATV, but snowmobile? The snowmobile was invented in Canada back in the 30's and is the industry's most popular and brand. I rode a 2005 BMW Rotax-powered dual sport motorcycle for years and never had a problem. Routine maintenance and tires. Thats it. My youngest son has it today and continues to put it through its paces. Most reliable bike I've ever owned. I hear the same from my friends in AK. For backcountry reliability they ride Ski-Doos. Just my opinion. Be well. Happy trails.
So awesome that hot water trick worked for you, great job. Can't wait to see jerry's stove. 💚👍👍💙
I once had an anthropologist professor that studied people in Siberia. Remember a few stories about how after the fall of the USSR the supply chain went away and people had to be creative to survive in the cold. Metal just ain't as durable when it is so cold.
That was really cool!
there's nothing like a good hot dog that's for sure
So glad to see you back!!! I was having Jay withdrawals!!! Thanks for the video!!! Love you in Denver!!!!
Hey Jay, good stuff. I like your positive attitude. Keep it going! Best greetings from Finland, we like the same staff:).
Hi Jay, that's a good trick to get your snowmachine started. I learned that same trick years ago from some Alaska Native people when I lived out in remote Alaska. Native people are natural mechanics. It's always great to see you back at the wall tent, my favorite place to visit with you. I like your new coat hanger, it's pretty cool. The hot dogs did look good only, a little to much ketchup and mustard for me, gotta have chopped onions. Glad the stove is working for ya. I like the idea of the mesh on top, makes it nice for toasting. Are you still getting a different stove for the tent?
Jay the hotdogs looked delish! I like mine with cheddar, onions mustard and Mayo. Great you got the fuel line and pump thawed!
I knew from day one, you were not going to like that stove. It is made for an insulated building, not a tent. I love your old stove. Perhaps before it gets rusted out from being outdoors, you could make a video using a tape measure so we may make one ourselves with your measurements.:)THANKS,...
Another great video, Happy Belated Birthday to your Daughter, hope you had fun with the sleep over. I can’t believe your thinking about a new stove already, but this one I do understand, one from Jerry would be special. I’m glad the hot water worked. Stay Safe till next time
ohh wow! I can't describe the feeling when YT send me this notification. 😂
You are enjoying the best of your life's mentoring!
Wow what a great VIDEO you always POST SUCH beautiful VIDEOS thank you JAY for sharing ROSA OLBERA FROM Texas
I got myself some solid state relays for my Nytro. Never have this issue now.
Great video Jay I am ne er disappointed. That was great how you got it to start hope your daughter has a wonderful Birthday she should because she will with a fantastic Dad. Thanks for sharing God Bless stay safe and healthy. ☺
Awesome video I’m glad you never had to walk out. you need to upgrade that Yamaha to a Scandic 900ace lol. And that new stove will be a great addition to the tent for sure
There is something to be said for the simplicity of a pull start on a 550 Fan engine. Deep cold weather and electric start engines don't get along very well.
Good Afternoon. i got home from work, i go on youtube and your video comes up. Awesome!!!! love the rope trick for putting in the damper. nothing like a good fire in a good wood stove. Wow! that is a Super Special wood stove to have him build for you. :)
Loved that stove though.
Good job Jay! Sometimes, old remedies do work! Have a great birthday party!
Great video!!
Yup, warm water or hair dryer on fuel relay/pump. Same thing back in 02-04 yamaha viper snowmobiles! Fuel pump freezes & restricts fuel flow....
May the TH-cam algorithm bless you my friend
Another Great Video
Good work man i love it! 😎
You can just pull the relay and hold it in your hand or bring it inside ,Yamaha makes a red relay that is supposed to not freeze in extreme colds they are for sale on e-bay or amazon
I'm glad you didn't have to walk home🤪🤪🤪😀😀😀😃😃😃☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🙃🙃🙃🙃😉😉😉
I think you need a tent for the snowmobile. Dang that’s a lot of mustard.
We might be crazy Jay, but were not nuts!! 😂
