BEAR COUNTRY Camping ALONE in a BEAR TENT

- I love looking for new places to camp. In this video, I go deep into bear country for an overnighter in my bear tent with an electric bear fence. Luckily I wasn't eaten. This is called a bear tent by RBM Outdoors. It's just a name. No magic bear proof materials.

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. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

You can easily tell the difference between black bear scat and grizzly bear scat. Black bear scat has berries and sticks and the like in it and grizzly scat has bits of flannel and smells like pepper spray
😅
LOL
And bells
My dad used to tell me if it smells like Old Spice get out of there.🤣
😂😂😂
You can deter bears from entering camp sites with a portable electric bear fence. Small kit that brings huge peace of mind.
Only thing I would ad is when sleeping in a tentt in bear country I never sleep with my head against the tent anywhere. Place your cot in the center of the tent for more protection.
If l had to consider that, l wouldn’t be there
That bear tent looks just big enough for you... and the bear.
Good gawd almighty. Backpackers spend every night of the summer in a tiny tent in Glacier National Park, surrounded by grizzlies, and don’t get et.
In Scotland we call those flys Clegs, not to be confused with the midge. Insects can make summer camping a trial. But then again at least we don’t have bears to worry about.
i wonder when the last bear in the UK was killed?
@@rudy103069 no bears since medieval times I believe
I'll stick to the roads and beware the moors, if it's all the same with you old chap
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 like what you did there 👏🏻
@@rcr76 that's enough
Awesome! Nothing like a little camping in in the midnight sun - with the mosquitos and horse flies! We were just next door, in the Yukon. Nice to be back in the north. 👍😎🇨🇦🌲💦🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🪰🪰🪰🪰
We always called those Deer flys, and when they bite, you WILL bleed. Not pleasant! Never seen a bear fence before, thats pretty cool.
Oh the gullibility of the Elmer Fudd amazing what a little lying advertisement will do for Elmer to convince him that such a thing would be protection against a bear you people are a real chuckle
I can do bugs living here in the South but bears, no way. I would have slept in the truck. Lol. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Diane!
If a Bear decides to attack you stand your ground and wait until it rears up over you and point at his genitalia and laugh. They will retreat in embarrassment! Having visited the North I think you are down playing the quantities and ferociousness of the flying insects. Love the channel
Awesome comment!
When you camp in any woods then your in the food chain ! Same as in the sea !
Your bear spray still has the tie attached to it Jay, you have to cut it off for the spray to be able to function.
Basic common sense. Lmao
Ooops! 😬😬😬
Mr. Expert survivalist. Just wait till the bear comes before he cuts the tie on the bear spray. By the way, didn't you buy a electric fence tester? It's more exciting to get a good night's rest not knowing if your fence is activated! Lots of luck! pardon my expression.........
Bon Appetit!!
Great to see you again!
Looks like you invested in some new camping gear. Looks great!👏👍
Thanks Faye.
Oh, it’s something! Beauty on the water and no people and their generators and garbage.
They should add onto the electric fence is a loud siren that would go off as soon as the electric fence got touched. With those two things for sure the bears would stay away! ha! You should put one of those bug zappers in your tent. They get them!
No need to be afraid of bears Jay, they'll never find you with that camo tent!! 😉
And if they do, that fence will surely keep them in😊😅
Re: bugs..light color clothing as apposed to black or dark colors works well.
Happy camping Jay✌
Thanks for the clothing tip!
:)
Always wear real lite color clothes 😍. Black attract deer and horse flies and the same with misquotetoe . Termocell lanters are awesome 👌
What a treat to catch a summer Jay Legere Video !!! Always wonderful catching your stuff Jay ! Great Video !!
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless you
Thanks so much Brenda!
Here in New Zealand a deer or pig is all there is in our bush. Not sure how well I would sleep with bears roaming about. Looks like a pretty spot.
Years back when I lived in the UK I used to use a UV lamp that had an electric shock cage around it to kill off annoying flying bugs like mosquitoes. You might be able to find something similar that you can either run off batteries or the Jackery? Mine was AC powered, but very low wattage. Not so fun to clean out, but worked like a charm.
What a gorgeous sunset and reflection on the water!
It definitely was very beautiful
Jay, we won’t tent camp at all during ‘bear’ season. Only the RV for us! I’m going to check into that electric fence! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for watching Dee!
You are right Jay. I miss winter too!
I have 1 of those fan lights, works awesome ice fishing at night and helps draw the heat down from the top of the pop up tent.
Si different from the snow packed videos but still just as enjoyable Jay. Always a blast to watch !! Good times buddy. Great video
Thanks Famasmaster
Love the video, per usual. I’ve never seen the bear fence before, definitely may check that out for myself. I’m also super glad you have merch now, definitely going to look into getting me a cup or a shirt of sorts. Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks Landon. The logo on the merch seems to be holding up really well. I hope you get to enjoy something from the shop.
No problem Jay. And I’ll look into it further
If there is a video another video
I’ve been camping in bear country here in Wyoming numerous times, even with a shotgun and bear spray I’m still very cautious. Granted I’ve never used a bear fence so I never get the pleasure of eating at camp. Always have to walk off and eat in a random part of the woods, and hang all my shit in a tree.
Just pee on the thing man.
@@boebradley867 yeah, ok thanks for the worst advice ever. Either way peeing near an electric fence is stupid and so is peeing near your camp. The salt in your urine will attract a lot of attention.
Ya, it's tough to get a meal completed when you know the bears are gonna show up at dusk!!!! Never had the pleasure of an invisible bear fence, but I know from experience that urinating, or marking the area does not work----- A hungry bear knowing there's humans around, will wait till dark and use stealth to try and get your food----- We've heard bears walk by our tent at night, sniffing loudly, and have had a few come into our tent while we were out fishing--- Never leave anything edible in the tent-- That includes toothpaste!!!!
You're wise beyond your years
@thomasfoss9963 Without a bear fence, you're a sitting duck
But, but, but Jay...you gotta touch the fence so that you KNOW it's working...lol. Man, those bugs are worse than what we have here in the Maine woods! Another great video, thanks, stay safe!
You should look in to a wolf mozzi zapper it's made for English carp fishing its a camp light with a mozzi zapper built in
Black flies generally hatch around Memorial Day in the northwoods-- We won't go on a trip if the reports of them are bad--- Black flies can ruin your trip worse quicker than any bear can!!!! Lol
Great video. Except for the bugs and bears, what a beautiful spot to relax.
Thanks!
Who else thought a Bear was going to come up behind him while he was eating his sandwich. Not sure that tent would even stop a Rabid Chipmunk let alone a several hundred pound Bear. The tape is there to remind you not to walk into the fence the Bear is coming for your food he doesn't care about some tape. I have seen a Bear go right through a electric fence without even flinching to get to a Apple .
Good Video though.
Absolutely, either this guy is new at camping or likes to exaggerate for likes. I was laughing at the whole thing. 40+ years tent camping mostly in bear country and by myself.
You know I was thinking a very hungry enraged bear could say I don't want to get shocked but the food is worth the risk and charge through the electrified line,at that point your food!It's not worth the risk.
Here's another idea. Get an Electric Bug Zapper. They have them in 110V and mine is USB 5V. It runs hours off my $5 cell phone battery recharger. Of course, your Jackery Solar Generator can run it too!
Mosquitos hate wind and fans!
Yes! I was wishing I brought one of those electric bug racquets.
Growing up the farmers used to have electric 'stock' fences to split up the larger grazing fields. They used to run off a motorcycle sized lead acid battery. Could give one hell of a jolt, lol.
Awesome. Thanks for the comment Rob.
Hello from Kingsport, Tennessee. Love your videos!! Definitely one of my favorites and a great way to approach life.
maybe a very short life
450 Marlin Guide gun works when bear fence doesn’t bother Mr. Grizzly Bear 🐻!
Another awesome video. Keep them coming
Oh, I missed that ppint at first. the bear snifss the fence? More like it charges right through and ignores the shock. Good luck!
Ain't nuthin like being awaken in the middle of the night as a big Grizzly rips your tent apart before eating you alive. Hope you get it all on video.
When Jay turns off the camera @ nite he jumps into his truck, eats his portable microwaved Big Mac meal, gulps down 2 long necks, tunes in his serius radio, turns his A/C on & hops into the back of his cab & gets a good nite sleep. in the morning he sneaks into the tent, turns on his camera & hangs on for 5 minutes before heading out. lol. Just Joking Jay..✌️
Hahah. I definitely thought about it.
Fantastic an beautiful sunset with beautiful views jay .Thus, seeing you working with different tool & 🏕️🚵 camping with Russian bear tent love to watch it & specialy ones in winters ❄️⛄🛷 🌠🎶 .keep going ❤️🌍😇
Electric fences are good but also you can always use nails and a piece of wood turn upside down and put in front of your windows or doors and the bears will run from those too
Wow looks like a lot of fun ..
Yea! Jays back be safe bud!
That's pretty funny. Everywhere I camp in western Canada is bear country. I've never seen a bear fence.
Neither have I. I live in the mountains in a place called Big Bear and tent camp in the Sierras, lots of bears and never seen an electric fence either, we don’t have Grizzly though but plenty of big black bears some right by your house.
I had read and heard about them, never used one, but the key to protecting yourself is to keep your food stored away from your tent--
If you have a good white pine to hang your food, or even in a food storage locker in Alaska, try to minimize the time you have food out, cooking time, and clean up afterwards--- Avoid wiping your hands on your pants, and keep them washed---- Bears want food, not us!!!
@@thomasfoss9963 exactly.
Whenever I slept in my tent in the Selous of Tanzania, I had a .416 next to my cot. It made for easier sleeping.
A bear came through my site when I was tenting one summer. I spent the rest of the night in my van!
Haha. I would have done the same
Whatever you need to do to avoid a bear, me thinks.
Thanks for the video Jay!
Thanks Jerry
Great Video !! Love how you found the camping spot, an I cant believe how hard that ground is, and the bugs,,,,,, still any time camping is a great time camping... FYI; I just received my J in the woods hoodie, absolutely love it !!! Nice Job Jay !! Have a Great week !!
That is so awesome! It's great to hear that someone is wearing one of the hoodies. That means a lot. Thanks Keith. Jay
Been waiting for your videos top favorite on utube thanks jay keep em coming
Thanks so much Matthew
Wow all your gear looks so clean! Almost brand new!
Cool video Jay! Love the tent and how it sets up so fast!
It's a very good tent.
@@jaylegere but not a bear tent, no such thing, bs.lmao.
Was that black bear or grizzly bear skat?
Here's how to can differentiate between them:
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.😁
Haha. It would be black bear. Not much for grizzlies around these parts.
Good to see you again.🙃🤗😀😄😃😏
Thanks!
Those are great tents, can’t wait to get the large version. I have the UDAP bear fence, certainly helps you sleep better at night.
Hello Jay and thumbs UP!!
Thanks Richard!
The dragon fly video is amazing, good catch
Bears and bugs. Can't wait to visit Canada! 😉
Or you could go to San Francisco and dodge human scat and needle pricks.
Canada's a beautiful place in winter too!!!! No bugs or bears to worry about then!!!!!
I would get a fence tester ! The dry ground usually does not allow the fence to work properly! I would definitely check the output! Happy camping to you!
Yeah, the ground is very important. I have a 3 lb portable electric bear fence similar to what's set up in the video and I know it is best set on dirt not gravel. There needs to be a minimum of 4000 volts to deter a bear. What he needs is an electric netting bear fence which can be used on any type of ground.
I would just get a hotel room and save my life. No kind of fence will stop a bear.
Electric fencing can stop them. But not one powered by 2 d batteries lol. Talk about rolling the dice.
@@WellnessWizdom He was selling product.
Just got your feed. Pretty good 👍 I have NEVER seen anyone in such deep bear country so far that they put an electric bear fence. Cheers from Australia.
in any wilderness, Not just Grzzlies, but black bears, mountain lions will tear you limb from limb.
The horseflies like the sun. Sit yourself in some shade and they should buzz off. The mosquitos though, they're relentless A holes and wont stop until they taste blood. 😆
The bear tents are amazing people, so easy to use and warm and solid.
Solid, right! Maybe for bugs and rain, but not bears
I keep a battery drill & a cement bit to drill the ground, just a thought. One other Item I found on eBay, was a light with a BUG LIGHT Zapper. And it was great, left it near the corner inside of the tent, caught them all!
I camped in the Indiana Dunes in the USA. So tired that first night. I settled into my tent and sleeping bag. I was almost to sleep when an owl high in a nearby tree started with....whoo whoo whee! Yep, all night long whoo whoo whee!
I pack earplugs in my gear now.....lots of earplugs.
Also Jay that spot you were at could be a boat launch for fisherman. Nice place to camp and to get away from civilization. 👍👍👍
Nice camp. Good Food.
Awesome camping spot
I was expecting the tent to look like a large bear or maybe made from bear 🐻 skin. LoL 😂 awesome video either way 👍
I really like your videos. Adventure for you and very enternaining for all of us.
Awesome video jay !!
Thanks Paul. I appreciate that. Jay
I know I shouldn’t say this being from Newfoundland with our short summers but I’m looking forward to your winter videos again.
I can't wait for winter!
Welcome back Jay
Bear tent, in bear country with a bear fence PERFECT! #LoveThatBearTent
Thanks Badlands G!
Nice shot of the dragonfly! 🔥
Thanks SuperSloth!
Jay you need to get a couple thermacells. Camping with steve swears by them as does consumer reports
I had a couple with me.
Camped in western Virginia in August there was a purple bug zapper in front of the bathroom that thing was busy all night it cooked a humming bird one time it took a few minutes for it to stop sizzling.
Afternoon Jay! 👋😎👍
Good afternoon to you too.
I'm totally getting one of those tables
It's very good.
Another great video Jay. From Ontario and for the deer fly's ,i use a fake dragon fly that's clipped to your hat. It's goofy but works.They will be around you but won't land or bite. What is the brand of Bear electric fence that you have,looks just what i need ?
Great to see you again Jay! Why not put the mosquito coil on for a short time when you got into the tent to kill them. Love that Bear tent, the company that makes them really does a great job of constructing it with a lot of helpful features.--MARLYS
Cool to see a summer video
Thanks. Can't wait for winter, though.
You certainly do have some prehistoric sized insects in your locale. Have you tried a Thermacell for bug protection?
Yep! I had one with me.
IDK about the Thermocell--- A friend of mine swears by it, but I swear northern black flies and mosquitos love to bathe in it!!!!!!!
9:10, just WOW!
We call them biting flies and they do live up to the name. Bug spray doesn’t seem to affect them at all.
Yes, black flies are relentless, and bite until dusk!!! We think they drink the Deet!!! Then the mosquitos take over!!! It's always amazing how all the mammals in the north have survived this onslaught of insects!
When I go out and there are a lot of pesky flying insects I wear a bee keeper's head gear. They make special head gear for this purpose but I already had a bee keeper's outfit.
Good job jay 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Nice Jay. Greetings from Friesland.
Beautiful spot! I'm pretty sure that all those bugs would ruin it for me though. Thanks for the video.
Bugs are definitely the worst thing about the North
@@jaylegere Don't forget Yogi Bear
great video for sure!
I love the great outdoors but all those bugs would drive me mad! 😩 Let alone being alone in bear country. 🐻
Once the deer flies, horse flies, and black flies stop biting and harassing you, then, all you have to worry about are the clouds of mosquitos that will descend upon you at night!!!!!! That's why we do our wilderness trips in the early fall---- Less bugs, but more hungry bears!!!! Head netting is a must if you're on a summer trip, and while I hate to smear DEET on my body, some good jungle juice is mandatory-------
great set up
I had to sub as soon as I seen the amount of mustard you put on your sandwich !!
Mybe you the next actor in Scary Bear Attacks!😁
Cheaper and efficient:
Battery window and door alarm, attach small hook to release, combine with bank line or such around perimeter.
Comes in a 4 pk.
Will wake the dead when compromised.
Happy Kampin
on 9:22 showing the sun down over the horizon it seems that is a furry shadow 7ft high looking at the Jay's camp.
Damn, here in Northern Sweden we probably had 2-3 weeks of nice weather in june, after that it's been cold and raining like hell... and now during the fall it's been decent weather during my work weeks and just shit during my weeks off, so not much hunting been done either...
Great video Jay, you really need a bug zapper up der nort don't you know..💚👍👍
Haha. Yes I definitely do
Praying you stay safe for us man.
Safe and sound.
@@jaylegere famous last words
Funny, I had a deerfly land on my arm, went to swat it but a dragonfy got to it first. I watched up close as the dragonfly content on my arm untl it finished eating. After a short hesitation and it flew away. Just happened about a week ago!
Awesome!
Cool pants! Ear plugs and a thermacell takes care of mosquitoes for me
I went to Minnesota as far north as you can go without going into Canada in july. The bugs were insane and I never want to go back lol. Your in bear and bug country with no firearm. Your braver than me..love the videos
We did 10 day BWCAW and Quetico PP canoe trips up to Lac La Croix for 20 years---- Don't worry about the clouds of mosquitos you'll have to deal with--- Black flies are by far the worst problem you'll encounter--- Strategies to thwart their constant presence are utilized in and around camp, and, you must clear them out of the canoe every time you get in it!!! They will follow you out into the lake, clinging to the sides of the boat, biting your ankles along the way!!!! We have had black bears in our camp and in our tents a few times, so food handling, preparation, and storage are vital to a successful trip!!! We don't always hang our food as bears get to know the good trees--- I became very adept at placing my food pack into the nose of the canoe, and with my 25 ' anchor rope, pushing it out in the lake to wedge it on the tip of a fallen spruce in the water-- It takes lots of practice, but it became a tried and true method!!!! My buddies thought I was nuts at first, but I've never had an incident, whereas we have had nighttime encounters with bears in camp, trashing our kitchen etc, but then again, it only works on calm nights-----
braver or dumber ?
