INSANE COLD HITS HOT TENT. SNOW COLLAPSES TENT

- When the wind is blowing in the far reaches of Canada, it can be painful, dangerous, and deadly. Luckily I have a remote wilderness tent where I am safe from extremely freezing winds. I also have a big wood stove, and a hefty sleeping bag to keep me warm when the temperatures dip below -40.
I have 2 tents up this winter. One is set up to test its durability. But after a big dump of snow, it has been crushed. It's not broken, but it tells me that the tent may not be suitable for this kind of test.
Join me for food, coffee, and a fire in the freezing sub-arctic.

"I'm not a bush crafter, I'm just a guy with a tent ". I don't know why, but that just struck me as a really great quote.
I had the same reaction to that statement. Love watching his videos.
In a virtual sea of winter tent camping ,survivalist expert videos..., The greatest line ever spoken in -40 middle of goddamn nowhere,, freezing my ass off to make a video,,🥶 "I'm not a bushcrafter" I'm a guy who has a tent " .., I'm standing in front of my computer screen,, in a salute position., warm wooly socks covering my feet and hands., thank you good sir for your candid honesty
Enjoy your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family
Jay, thanks for the content. I know, I speak for many of your subscribers, especially those of us who are stuck in the suburbs and metropolitan areas. We live vicariously through your 'day trips' to the cabin. Virtually being able to escape for a few minutes means a lot.
Agreed
You're not stuck there, you choose to be
The coffee-mate would burn if thrown into the air as a cloud of dust. The same thing happens with flour, custard powder etc. (Many years ago there was an explosion in a Birds Custard Powder factory caused by a cloud of powder in the air and a spark)
100% correct.....it needs to be "aerosolized"...the particles of the Coffee-mate suspended in the air in a "cloud".....when the Mythbusters did it, they loaded the Coffee-mate into a canon of sorts and shot a huge cloud of it into the air with compressed air, and ignited the airborne cloud resulting in a HUGE thermobaric explosion
Just wanted to say it is but you have to pour it over a flame in power form try it it burns like sparklers love your videos keep it up
Swing the hatchet and blow spray the powder…
Yep. If you have an open flame and sprinkle it on, flames!
I had a job as a janitorial supervisor and my boss asked what I thought about bidding on cleaning a flour mill. I told him it was a bad idea as there was way too much risk of fire or explosion when kicking all of the flour dust in the air. Not to mention it would require special no spark vacuums.
Ahhhhhh, Another episode of living vicariously through Jay! Thanks Bud
Hi Jay, I really enjoyed the video! Thanks for taking me along. Best regards
HEY! Hello Jay and thumbs UP!!
I enjoy your videos. The beauty of that area is unmatched by anything. Thank You
My husband and I have been watching your videos together for a while, and I finally decided to leave you a comment and tell you just how much we enjoy these videos! We usually watch them just before bed and the winter videos especially are so relaxing and calming to us. I told my husband after watching this video together tonight that the food you make in your videos makes me hungrier than any of the food TH-camrs that I watch lol! Everything (okay, maybe not the canned meats lol) looks so good!!! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us and giving my husband and I a channel to enjoy together after a busy day 😊
Thanks so much for this comment. I'm really glad to hear that you like the channel, and I'm even happier you decided to comment. Hello to you and your husband. Jay
Great channel! Like the laid back , take it in stride and make it work attitude! I am 72 and still love camping, kayaking etc.
I’m from Florida and I love your videos and am amazed at how much snow there is and how you can survive there. Thank you for sharing with this 72 year old grandmother I’ve watched for a long time now and will continue to do so. Had to edit you can do anything we need more men like you.
Amazing video you are a hero thanks for sharing
For that bereg popup tent, cut a sapling and place it under the center hub so it is supported against the ground. This should help prevent the roof from collapsing inwards as you showed. For your wedge and mallet splitting technique, I'd would use a dead blow hammer (plastic shell) so that you are less likely to damage the back of the hatchet or axe that you are using for the wedge.
Yes, the sapling idea might work very well. Especially if you're going to be gone for long periods.
Take an old leather work glove and put it over the end of the support sapling. This will help protect the tent.
Hi jay I really in joy your video. It help me a lot with my mental health issues. Keep up your good work. From the U.K.
Loved this video! It amazes me how the bitter cold doesn’t bother you! I love watching everything you do! Keep ‘‘em coming!
Jay, add some onions to the corned beef while it is frying. Definitely the best. Add some spicy Dijon mustard and you have a wicked sandwich in the woods.
All the best.
Welcome back Jay !!!
Another great video! I take that same can of corned beef and I break it all up with a fork, add a can of diced potatoes and an onion, fry it all up and it's delicious! Slap a couple of over easy eggs on top and it's a hearty meal. Stay safe and warm!
Cheers Jay. One thing I like about your reviews is the honesty. Stay safe 🍻
i was in the hospital fixing my heart when this video came out im happy to say im out taking care of my health and your videos help with my recovery ty
Just what the doctor ordered 🍁
Any trip is a good trip. Loved the time lapse of the ice getting bigger. Stay safe.
Awesome video Jay. Glad I got to enjoy it by my fire sipping a hot cup of coffee. Always an adventure. Already looking forward to the next one. Lots of coffee ready to go. 😁
amazing video a hot tent crazy cold weather did not think snow would collapse your tent thanks for sharing
I suggest that you use an telescopic centerrod in that popup tent when left unattended. Thats what we do in Northern Norway.
Thanks again. You’re providing sheer escapism for all of us couch adventurers. Beautiful scenery and just the best company. Look forward to every visit
I use a temporary adjustable support post for my hunting blind when I'm not using it. It's great. The roof has never collapsed from snow, and my blind is no were as strong as your tent. You should put up a few trail cams in the woods near your tent. Keep up the good work with you channel.
Coffee-mate contains sugar and vegetable oil, so technically it is flammable. The problem is supplying it with enough oxygen to sustain combustion. If it were mixed with a lot of air, you could accomplish that (i.e. create the conditions for a dust explosion). You could also mix it with an oxidizer like potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate, but then you wouldn't want to use it in your coffee. But just for demonstration purposes, try mixing it with a little Spectracide stump remover.
Love that pan shot at the 7 minute mark, beautiful up there. Loved it when I worked up there.
I have been watching your channel for a couple of years. Reminds me of my younger years spent camping in N. W. Ontario in winter. Pushing 70 now. I am still an avid snowmobiler, couple thousand miles a year. I notice you never wear a helmet on your snowmobile, no helmet laws in N. W. Territory? I think you would find that a good helmet is much warmer as well!
We must be long lost brothers.... I was thinking you need to put ketchup on your meal... Then you said, the only thing that's missing is ketchup. So delicious. Awesome stuff Jay!!!
Hi Jay,I had the same thing happen to me last year with my Eskimo ice hut that I left up all winter. I ended up putting a 2x4 in the middle to hold it up and that did the trick. Stay warm buddy
Like steel wool, the coffee creamer will ignite with enough oxygen around it. Myth busters did it where the blew it in the air and it ignited. Interesting episode
The British version of QI did the same thing.
Maybe others have mentioned this idea before. You could set up a trail camera, on an extended battery source/solar for cold temps, to catch any wildlife or activity while you're not staying there
Another great video Jay.. "I'm not a Bush Crafter; I am a guy who has a tent"
Jay…check the contents of your tent. a pole should be in your package for supporting the roof when you are away for a lengthy time in case it snows, mine came with that pole, hopefully yours did also
Made it to the end again! Looks like fun. I’d LOVE to be able to travel there and spend the weekend. Blessings to you and yours!
I'm watching from my my camp with my family, I've forgotten my fire starter so I've used a pack of Doritos to started a fire, thank Jay for a great video 👍👏
Happy Monday! Instantly clicked this video when I saw it Jay. I'd watch your content every day if I could. :)
Love the snow! The drone shots are terrific. Such beautiful lands.
Dude, du verstehst zwar kein Wort davon was ich schreibe aber du lebst meinen Traum!! Es ist so gemütlich in deinem Zelt bei dieser Kälte ich wünschte ich könnte sowas auch machen! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
An diese Kälte muß man sich zuerst gewöhnen bevor man es da über Nacht aushält! Ist besser von der Wärme im Wohnzimmer zuzusehen! Grüße aus Kanada.
Always great to be watching your video. The hatchet appears to be a great tool for the situation of not having your axe. 🇺🇸🐻
Hi Jay I watched a couple of your videos. I leave close to Windsor,ON. I enjoy your videos. Stay safe and be blessed.
Awesome as always Jay.
Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures.
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS YOU
Yeah I like your hot tent, l love the scenery , thanks for sharing 👍😊
If you like the cold, -40˚C should make you happy. I will say that I'm relieved to see that Coffee Mate not flame up. I can't recall how close your home is to your campsite but it must not be too far if you can do day trips. Being close by makes it convenient to go check on your tents and belongings. I'm looking forward to when you do a long weekend trip. Stay warm and be safe out there in the wild!
He's back!!! Been checking to see if had missed a video everyday. Glad to see you.
Another great video. Little suggestion for your instant coffee. Mix it in 2-3 tablespoons of cold water to dissolve it then pour in your hot water. Pouring hot water directly on the crystals gives it a burnt flavour.
Yes! Corned beef hash sandwich (with mustard!) after shoveling snow, for the win!
Never let anyone or thing rob you from the things you love.
I'm glad that the canvas tent wasn't the one that collapsed! Now I can relax and enjoy your video...🥰
I started watching your videos a couple of months ago and have enjoyed them very much. You are so honest and you seem so natural camping in such a remote area. Just give me such a peaceful feeling after so much sorrow in our lives last year. Please never stop make videos! Stay safe my friend!
Powdered creamer, sitting in a pile, not very flammable. Take a small amount, and then blow it into a fire? BIG difference.
Good to see you again dude!
Jay, please try this recipe at camp next time. One can of corned beef, can of sliced potatoes, one diced onion, and one can of corn. Fry it all together until crispy and brown. Stir often. This is our Corned Beef Hash. Cheers!
Very nice. unexpected. Total cozy.
Great video mon ami
Good to see ya back again. Take care!
Another great video Jay. Kudos to you handing the extreme cold!!
It can, but as a dust air inhibitor. Generally, you need something to get the fine powder into the air then something to set it off. Almost like what happens from time to time in grain elevators. Yes, I did teach things like this years ago as an engineer in the army.
Geez. Who directs these videos ? Scorsese? Amazing videos always! Thank you!
Glad to see you back with a great video👍⛺
Good day B'y, good to see ya ! You should have packed in your sun screen and speedos.
Jay, you sure are living the dream. Life doesn't get any better.
Great videos Jay!!
Dear Jay, I like your videos a lot. This one brought back memories of my school days in the UK when we had canned corned beef and beef for dinner, the corned beef was not cooked though. The school was a boarding school for kids with no parents, so the food was not the best, you got what you got and you ate it because you were hungry. We got canned corned beef and canned beets for dinner and I remember how yummy it was, better than some other offerings. Nevertheless, I now want to try canned corn beef again with beets. Thank you.
Another awesome video, tks Jay for the content
I had the same thing happen to my 6 man Pup tent at 3am
while I was sleeping inside , not too much fun. I'll tell you !
Bent the main pole
into a V shape , I had trouble getting out of the tent !
Mike.
19:19 awesome idea for the time-lapse! Great video, as always. Thanks!
I'm super impressed with the Bear tent ! Sure had you been there to maintain the tent during the snow fall it wouldn't have happened or maybe a inner support at the center. However, the design of the tent is what keep things like the tie down straps from being torn off and basically intact. It buckled at it's knees if you will, just like a spider when it rests, which saved the tent. Which I think is really cool !
Enjoyed your video! Thanks 💕
I just love this tent!
Great job!
Love the drone footage! Cinematographer Jay!!!!
Here in Connecticut, USA, Friday we are expecting -7 F and I was thinking of trying out the diesel heater in my tent. Also, Coffee-Mate is flammable just like diesel, it has to be in a fine mist to ignite.
Yeah.. he had too big of a pile there
Lol yes I just think the same. Gonna get artic cold here in,Maine.
@@MaineUSA I'm in Maine, too!
@@daspencer4537 whoot whoot that's awesome.
@@MaineUSA yup… scary cold!!
Fox and coyote a baby like all of us. Deserves to live. Having a hard time these days finding food. We all need love. Those little paws won't hurt much. I have faced off a mountain lion with love. And I was injured. Mom did her best to get human help and succeeded. She pretended to raid the chickens at the homesteader's. He said she was acting weird. So he came. I was rescued.
thanks Jay been waiting all week for this
Love it.
Jay - I enjoy your channel and look forward to watching your videos. If you don't mind - how far is the lake/tent from where you live, and what's your process of getting there? Do you snowmobile the entire way? Do you own/lease the land where the tent is? Although I don't have as much remote wilderness close to me (and not nearly as cold), I'm interested in getting away similarly to the way you do. ... just not sure of the options to go about it.
Jay, glad you got back out, and love every video I learn something new each time. You should do Jay in the Woods recipe book. I have been watching for over a year now and trying some of your meals. Looking forward to the next one!
Hello Jay glad to see you again awesome video
coffe creamer will burn, but it must be aerosolized to do so impressively. If you want to experiment try Fritos corn chips. A couple years back I saw where Steve Wallis used hand-sanitizer to start his wood stove.
You KNOW you're Canadian, 3:40 when you think -12 degrees Fahrenheit is "Really Nice" lol 🥶🌨☃
Love your meals
I have never watched these types of shows when people speak in them. But Jay, I gotta tell you, you make me glued to the tv and I truly enjoy watching your winter camps. I also go winter camping in Ontario crown lands and I definitely relate to your adventures. I have a 12X12 Alaknak Cabela's with a Kni-Co foldable stove! Great Job Mate!
11:56 😊😊😊😊
I grew up with corn beef sandwiches. Sliced and right on the bread with mustard..mmm!
And I’ve made your supper many times..quite tasty and easy to make
Your knife looks nice and sharp
I enjoyed this video. Knowing how cold it is and then the fire gets lit.
I can imagine the comfort and coziness
Well done and take care 🇨🇦❤️🔥
Kool vid Jay...I'd never make it in that cold weather love watching you fire up the wood stove and how warm you can get it in there
Oh I remember that corned beef... so good on fresh brown soda bread with some Branston Pickles... yummy 😋
The bear tent looks like you can run a pole for support though right up through the little mesh gear bag that hangs right to that piece that you pointed out to us that is supposed to keep it tight. Maybe try some thing there while you are not occupying, the tent and snow is a possibility? To prevent future collapsing?
Enjoyed the video thanks!!
Awesome video Jay, have a good one buddy!
Great video buddy food looks awesome nice axe take care my friend all the best
So many people split wood from the middle and not the edge. Good you know that trick. It makes it so much easier!
Jay, I think you’ve been smokin to many J’s in the woods if you’re trying to lite coffee-mate on fire. Hahahaha
Man your videos really fly by Jay! Love watching your very relaxing drone footage and scenery shots. Maybe the fox was after your mice in the pallets and log store? Cracking tutorial on the hatchet and hammer method. I have a Canadian Hickory hatchet for my logs and I'm in the UK! I've watched and liked your videos and as usual, I always watch til the end so you get funds from the adverts. Looking forward to your next trip. Take care Jay and thanks for your time.
I enjoyed this.
Another top video, thanks Jay.......from Australia 🙂
Excellent video Jay. I haven't watched your channel in a long time. Happy i got back here
It’s fun to throw coffee creamer (dry) into fires to see the sparkles. It and cinnamon itch will sparkle really well
Growing up in Northern Cape Breton Corned beef hash ( fried corned beef,onions,potatoes, salt and pepper) was a staple in our household. Haven't had it in 20 years but now I want some lol. Recently found your channel and enjoying it so much 😊
I’ve had my tent do that many times and it’s never got damaged which is nice. Mines even blown away and hit a tree once and it’s still fine. I use adjustable painters poles when I’m not using it since I’m a painter and had a few extra. Mines even worse for the snow because it’s the 14x7 woods tent and it has a low section in the middle that catches snow. I got my hot tub in mine in my back yard lol.
Awesome video !! Jay
Thank you Jay, for another superb video. Great camera and drone work. In the uk, we have corn beef sandwiches all the time, but we never fry the corn beef. We simply slice it and put it with Branston pickle in the sandwich. I'm going to try frying it now.
