-38° COLDEST NIGHT in a FROZEN HOT TENT. ICY and ALONE.

- It gets down to -38 on this trip to the frozen remote off-grid camp. That is as cold as it has ever been for me while camping. While some people out there have experienced much colder winter conditions - including me - what makes this experience unique is that I'm doing this with nothing more than a canvas tent and a stove.
Canvas tents are great in the cold and I love mine, but there is no insulation. So when that stove goes out, the temps plummet right away. In fact, it's colder inside my tent than outside when I arrive.
I have a few things I need to do around camp. I'm cracking out a handmade wood splitter; it's awesome.
I am also modifying my bogan and cooking lamb on the flaming stove in the tent.
And ... I'm hoping my Jackery can heat up my snowmobile in these freezing conditions.

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 TH-cam training (watching) over the years.
You have all the essentials Jay...Butter, mustard, bolony, Jackery, coffee, maple syrup, plenty of wood and food. Then you haul it all to heaven. Sweet! I enjoy and have fun watching your videos. Awesome
Thanks so much Jeff. Always good to get a comment from you. Jay
Are you gay because it seems like you are but it's all cool you even look like it
@@markgagnon6898
😂. I didn’t get that
You forgot Marlboros. No cigarettes no camping.
@@Yyyyyy5
Does that mean I need cigarettes to be properly camping even if I don’t smoke
I Know I can't be the only one who wants to go camping and share a meal with Jay it's just so peaceful and relaxing out their. Another daymaker video Jay thank you for sharing and taking us along with you P.S. those meals were cooked to perfection. can't wait to your next video.
I absolutely love your tent setup and the way everything is so neat and organized also that log spitter is genius a great tool for women. Thanks again!!!
Thanks Robin. It's a small space so it needs to be neat!
I can watch your videos everyday all day. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for taking us to the tent with you. Love the cooking and the views of the snow on the tree's, its beautiful
Thanks Yvonne!
The peace and quiet out there must be scintillating !!!!
Not sure how easy it is to do for you, but you could always bring the snowmobile battery into the warm for some extra cranking amps in the morning.
A lead acid looses about 50% capacity at -30c
Thanks for inviting us along to join you...
Thanks for the video Jay! I agree that my Jackery is awesome. I mostly got it to power my C-PAP but there was one major problem. My wife expropriated it !!! I'd never have guessed she would covet my power station. I solved the problem by getting her another one for Christmas. Happy New Year & stay warm out there !
Haha. Smart!
Now she'll have 2...lol!
Some cute rugs over the plywood will look very cute, add color and make your tent very warm and cozy....
As a suggestion Jay, be careful with wood stove when loading wood wearing gloves that are not leather. Nylon will melt to your hand or catch fire. 😎
Good man. Enjoyed it... Living in Florida I still remember the thrill to be in frozen woods of my childhood. 15 below waiting for the school bus. Stay outside brother !
Next project: A heated garage tent for the snowmobile.
Can't get enough of your content Jay, thanks for your hard work and dedication! Wish I could enjoy the elements down here in Texas. Cheers.
Easy way to quiet the splitter up is to take something like a pillow or even a blanket of some sort to dampen the ringing. It's like the difference between tapping a bell with a stick and holding onto the rim while tapping it.
Also insulation works both ways, that is why your tend was colder inside than out!
Also have you ever thought of adding a firebox gasket to the top part of your stove so it makes a better seal?
Excellent tips
i know, the resonance would drive me nuts lol i would just tape a piece of carpet or towel wherever it vibrates. good to go
I was thinking something similar... siliconing some dense foam (like a yoga mat) on the inside of it, might help.
Nothing beats having a good beer with your food. Budweiser is my favorite beer!
It's very good
We had -14 last night with 20mph winds... The windchill was no joke, even my Pyrador was like "NOPE"....
Stopped the video and subbed real quick after seeing this mustard sandwich. A man with integrity :)
Very cool I like stuff like this
What you watch these!! Nice lol I love watching your vids too btw
The mystery and the beauty of those northern lights take my breath away. Thanks for another great video.
Jay, once again you put out a great video. The squeaky snow sounds and that bone chilling cold hanging in the air brings back great winter memories for me. Even though I don't live far from my childhood home, the winters have warmed up dramatically (we only have a skiff of snow on the ground), so thanks for your making your videos!
Great splitter but I think it might be prudent to put a hard cover on the upright splitter blade, to protect you if you slipped or tripped onto it. It would likely leave a nasty gash! Take care and enjoy your special spot.
That sled starting up is the most satisfying sound I've heard all week.
I get such a kick out of you getting such a kick out of making splits. It is a handy little tool. You looked nice and cozy in your tent and the food looked awesome. I was very envious of your time and nature. Not only does it get dark like you say, but it is quiet...so quiet.
It's definitely a special place. I'm very lucky!

@@jaylegere Run your instant pot off the Jackery. Saves having to cook using propane and wood. Off of just a 60 W solar panel you can run the instant pot for everything including coffee 365. In instant pot mini has an operational wattage of 70-110 watts.
Buddy I can taste the excellence of your meal! Thx so much Bro!
You had me lip my chops seeing that delicious lamb. Phewwww!!!! That sure looked amazing.
I love your split cutter. It makes for watching twice as many splits. Yay.
Just off hand, what's stopping you from adding some foam insulation to your walls and closing them with plywood? besides the cost of the plywood.
It would make it too permanent. This is not a permanent camp and I need to keep it that way
@@jaylegere You could get some sheets of rockwool and use some netting to keep it against the walls and roof of the tent. That would not be permanent, but the insulating effect would be huge. Rockwool is also non-flammable and it doesn't loose much insulating quality even if it gets wet.
Evening, Jay...
That's gotta be the best fried bologna sandwich I've ever seen!
Really enjoyed this episode, thanks...
What are your thoughts on taking a file to it to sharpen it a bit? The sharper the edge may dampen the sound since the energy would be released in to the wood faster than the metal. Also may produce fewer hits to split it.
Would also need some kind of a cover, if someone fell onto it it could be deadly.
@@TexasbyStorm Yepp could take you out of here as fast as a guillotine ! Definitely needs a 🛡 shield if ya were to sharpen it. But what a great tool. 👍
A cover would be great but also bolting it to a small stump would help to take some ring out of it
@@perthfalcon This is true too. Or putting wood panels on each side to cover the open parts and spraying insulation foam inside.
The coldest I ever spent overnight with deer hunting and we slept in the back of a pickup truck with a see steel bed with just a shell camper over top of it and it was -8° and that was enough for me no more so I had tell you brother I admire you for your fortitude
Greetings from NZ. 1st time viewer, literally 1st vid. Enjoyable & educational. Best wishes for 2022.
Very satisfying watching this. Thanks
Eating like a king in the back country brother god bless!
Great video as always Jay 😊👍🌹
Christer!
Happy New Year, glad to see someone else who loves fried/fired bologna. with a bit of muenster cheese... mm mmm good. Another great video that again leaves me jealous. Stay safe and can't wait for the next one.
Bologna is yum! New video next week!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I love the outdoors
Not a camper but I enjoy your cold weather videos.
Well after a great supper tonight, I watched your new video. Now I want a "burnt bologna sandwich". Thanks for taking us on your outings.
Hahah
Good stuff, brother! Keep em coming!
Little mouse has a spiritual meaning to it ;)
I find making a batch of kindling is very calming!
Always excited to see a new video from you!! Love the sound of the snow crunching, I said gross out loud when you burnt and ate your bologna sandwich, laughed and always appreciate how you profess your love for fat on meat, and cheered out loud with you when your snowcat started! I love seeing how far you’ve come with your tent from the beginning. Always, best of luck and continued success. Thanks for the entertainment!
Cool splitter Jay. Great idea
Jay i have a meal suggestion a simple yet delicious meal from my childhood. My moms friend Blanche made this a recipe from her husband Jimmy train engineer. Railroad stew

S&P to taste
Hot dogs
Egg noodles
Saute veggies

Inexpensive delicious meal us kids loved it!
Awesome video Jay. Love that splitter
Love the splitter
You're awesome Jay!
The dance after the snow machine started was hysterical! Great video as always, keep it up!
So cold! Don’t know how you do it, but you do! Love ❤️ the video Jay! Been watching for a long time! Happy New Year 2022! Off to a great start!
Thank you, Jay!!! Nuther great video!!! Especially on my lunch!!!
Bridge
Great videos bud very inspiring and it’s great to see people doing what they love keep it up man cheers
Thanks!
Thanks for video enjoyed it very much Gabe Huntsville, Alabama
Okay you got me hooked! In the first 5 mins I am already loving your energy and sense of humor, you are awesome!
Awesome awesome!!!
This method has already been used, I simply welded a large ax to a 15 kg dumbbell washer so as not to have vibration and its result is much better compared to the axe. Good year, friend and all the best to you.
Bologna is my favorite also! You are doing a great job! Loving your camping videos. Anyway, just want to say, HI from Kentucky! Dede
Hi Jay, great video i was salivating watching you crunch that lamb fat,super start to the year. " Lang may your lum reek" regards Will.
I think that was important to point out Jay. Our TH-cam experience through the videos you shoot may only be a small part or sample of YOUR experience and commune with nature. I'd love to be there. By the way it's obvious in your videos you love what you are doing.
That’s a cool little splitting tool!
Got relatives up there. Gave them the gears about living in the cold, lol. But they have been there for 60 years and made it their home. Kudo's to all who can brave this nastiness.
Seeing those pancakes made my mouth water....
Crisp bologna is awesome. Lol. It’s nice 53 degrees Fahrenheit here. Hardly ever get snow. It does get to 28 F. However, that cozy place in extreme cold…(with food), I’ll take in a heart beat.
Love that splitter. Here in lower Manitoba we've had some brutal temps as well. One morning last week I checked the temp around 6 and it was -38C with -47C windchill. 🌬🥶 Keep the videos coming. Stay warm and healthy.
Jay, I haven’t been by the channel in quite awhile, the tent looks AWESOME!!! Very enjoyable video keep up the good work.
I really enjoy your videos......thank you
Another great video Jay, thank you. Hoping you soon do another collab with Dave, maybe you both take your Russian Bear tents to a spot away from your canvas tents for an overnighter. Keep up the good work 👍
That's a really clever wood-splitting device you've got there! I love gadgets.
You should consider adding fins to the sides and back of the heater - much like how a heatsink works in side a computer, they will also heat up and radiate more heat into the room for the same amount of wood burnt.
You're the next Joe and Zack Survival channel! Keep up good work!
Jay I've been thinking I know I know that's a bad idea . Lol But what I've been thinking about is you making a small garage for your snowmobile. And a small heater electric or propane. Even a wood one . But that old canvas tent from the other camp . Might work as the garage and 2 help keep it out of the weather . 2 help with the start in the cold . Take care and best wishes in the new year .
Love your videos just started to watch today while doing some crochet, your right about those knit shirts you have, they would cost around 250$ to $300 home made as they are done with thick whool and time worthy! Thank you for your vids and I’m close to Montreal Quebec and its currently -13 today but it should go up to 3 tomorrow… go figure… but still some snow to come!
Looks awesome dude !
Ok you have earned my respect, great videos and vendors are missing out on sponsorships
OMG! 4:54 is a work of art.
Next time Jay, try your lamb chops with mint jelly 🤤 No kidding, you should check to buy a skidoo expedition 600 etec ... It starts much better than a yamaha at these temperatures. It will be peace of mind for you...
Love the video stay warm
13:30 - Ichiban, literally means "Number One". And i agree, they are my favorite brand
Wish we would get some winter weather like that. Plus 8 and rain today in souther New Brunswick.
I have a very similar splitter. It is an old axe head welded into a steel frame. Works like an absolute champ

That first gadget is cool. I have done that with an Axe and a clamp. Just invet the axe and you can do prettymuch the same thing. Though I guess this works better because of its size. (You can close the 2 sides and fill the thing with Sawdust or mud, then it will not make so much noise)
Jay, when you said right after you woke up that you really wanted to do splits today, I was amazed that you were so flexible. Then I remembered you were referring to splitting kindling and not doing gymnastics. Oh well! I would have been mightily impressed and entertained had you tried that move right there in your tent.
You are some kind of crazy 🤪! Keep up the good work.
Looks more like a weasel track to me. Great video as always, Jay!
Interesting. You might be right
First time seeing one of your videos, I enjoyed it a lot, liked and subscribed!!
The Old Gunny"
I love my Fiskar’s ax. I split most of my winter supply of wood with it versus a maul.
Got a Jackery for Christmas. I'm linking this vid to my relatives who didn't know what it was. Oh, yes, yesyesyes...
I want to experience the defining quietness, you can tell it so quiet there with the explosions of sound on the microphone.
Cheers thank you
I really gotta buy some lamb , have had it with Indian food, always loved it. Great tasting meat. Great video and a happy new year.
GREAT video!!!
Hi Jay, good to see you back at the good tent, lol. All your food looks great. One of my favorites is Spam sandwiches fried or plain with mustard. Chocolate chips in pancakes? Yuck, like mine plain. Concerning your splitting block, cut a round about 6" thick and overlap it about an inch on your splitting block and nail it to your chopping blockusing 4-6 grabber nails. This will keep your chopping block in tact. It's -25F here in Willow, Alaska. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John!
@@jaylegere add cocoa powder to make chocolate pancakes.
Awesome video great job looked like fun but cold lol
Man... after watching this, I can only imagine "back in the day" how men (or people) survived the same weather without modern conveniences. You had to be lucky and tough. Real tough.
Yes new Video, going to enjoy in paece later. Thank you and keep it up 👍👏👏
Thanks 123 345!
👍 I love bologna done anyway at all. I buy the Costco lamb chops all the time. There are like 2 inch thick tiny T bones. I cook them on the barbeque or broil them even though they're cooked longer than they should. they are always delicious
Thirty years ago it took us one cold late Fall hunting trip to learn to put a tarp over the wall tent. That way when we have to pack up the tent we’re not packing a lot of snow and ice too!
Sounds like someone just rode by on a sled while you were chopping wood! Cool. Not completely alone out there!
I enjoy the relaxing camping trips. I'm in Florida 🏝️. We got a little snow😁❄️❄️❄️ it melted right away. Last week we was in the low 80's.
Excellent. 😊😊😊🎄🎄🎄
