A few years ago, when I was 70, I decided to spend one winter sleeping outside. I set up a 4-person tent, then put a 2-person one inside. I covered the frame of the smaller tent with a couple of survival blankets, then a quilt over that. I put interlocking plastic mats on the floor. 3 inch foam for my mattress, covered with a heated mattress cover. Topped it with a flannel sheet and sleeping bag. An hour before bedtime, I'd plug in the mattress cover. Kept me warm in -30C weather.
OMG, Jay! There were a few times during this video that I literally laughed out loud! Who would set up THREE RBM tents, one inside the other, then a bivvy tent, too? Only you, Jay. And I thank you for doing it. Made me laugh. That steak also made me a little jealous. Listening to all that eclectic mix of jams all night long was the cherry on top. Too fun!!
Thanks for getting back to me Jay! love your channel and watching your episodes from the North. Travelled to Yellowknife about 49 years ago. Loved it. Love the bush!! maybe one day if given the opportunity I will get back. again thanks for letting me know what is going on.
What a cool idea! A tent within a tent within a tent.. We had tent liners when I was active duty. They were good insulators. Oh, by the way, you had snow on the ground. Where I live we had the air conditioning on. Thought you would like to know!
Great stove. I have one on order now. My friends Matti and Stina run a dog sled/canoe tour company above the circle in Sweden. They have used the same stove for many years to cook and boil water for the sled dogs. Lot of snow to melt every day. They hold up to big pots. Crazy camp with that many tents. Pure survival ability. Do the hot tent chimney pipe holes line up? See, easy to make a vid close to home. Just go out and do it. You'll see.
MSR makes a nice titanium folding triangle foot for the stove and a windshield. Tell yah jay, one of your best vids yet. You and the viewers had fun. Rock on! 198K, gettin close
Jay did you get the other 2 parts for that sleeping system? It is a 3 part military sleeping system…a thing green mummy bag, a black heavy mummy bag, and the Gortex Bivi-bag. Using all 3 will keep you somewhat warm down to -50F. Trick is use a poncho liner down at the bottom to keep your feet warm and it may sound crazy but only wear a pair of shorts to bed. That way your body heat warms the inside of the bag and the dead space in between each bag, just like layering clothes. I spent 20 years in the military and done right you can stay pretty warm.
Enjoyed it almost as much as you. The multiple tents were a great idea. It might save someone's life in a sticky (cold) situation. Looking forward to your next video. Take care.
If you used a folding cot as a foundation for your pad [which should be INSIDE the bivy]and bivy, you would be even more comfortable and warmer. Great video. RBM tents are the best!
This was a different and novel way to stay protected and warm. But I'm thinking you'd rather have a wood stove than 4 tents 😉 You were definitely having fun. And you can't beat steak and country music! Looking forward to your next adventure!
one of your best videos in my opinion. your confidence level was high. And fun content. although I like to watch you learn how to NOT be a carpenter on the cabin. 🤣😂😂great video Jay.
"Gotta duck!" or "Got a duck!" or both! :) Jay, I've been using MSR naptha stoves since the 80a. after you heat the stove, blow it out ompletely and then open the valve and start it. If you turn on the fuel while the heating fire is still going, it will flare up for awhile until it settles down. Sometimes it wont settle down and it has to be turned off and re-started. So best to get into the habit of: heat it up, blow it out, open the value and start. Thanks for the fun video!
@@jaylegere A little more detail on the stove starting. The point is to keep the stove hot enough to vapourize the fuel when it travels thtough the pipe, in the usual way.If you blow it out, start it as fast as you can. I usually have the lighter flame going, blow out and light the stove. If its very cold you may not be able to do this and have to put up with the flare up on start. Just be careful if you have anything overhead. Soon you will equate the loudness of the stove with relaxation and enjoyment. :) Also, you may have to clean out the jet from time to time and also the pump. They can get gummed up with carbon - even the pump can pull carbon out of the fuel and get glogged. And make sure you put the jet cleaner pin the right way, its easy to put upside down. Best to do a completely breakdown of it at home so you are aquainted with it and not have to fiddle with all the parts for the first time outside. Enjoy!
A gorgeous beautiful Blue-Bird Day in the NWT. This tent idea is a great test review @ Jay Legere! @Jay your videos need more of that fast interesting little dog that you had in a TH-cam video >a week ago. It was nice with the dog and cottage guest but don't get me wrong this tent testing idea is excellent stuff. I also appreciated the new cooking gear with the liquid fuel stove, kettle and new surroundings stuff. The Mora is a nice device but there are so many much more cool blades out there that you can be modeling. I mentioned the other day after you asked the viewers what we want to see that to have more content with you commuting to and from the locations would make it much more cool and interesting. Then days later I see a missed opportunity for getting personal and first person with the viewers as the view switches to 3rd person and both you and the viewer are seeing as if operating the vehicle. There are production and editing loses occurring in your video shoots and I am simply suggesting try more things and make some stuff more regular.
Remember the fireman who drove on the ice and sunk his week old F350? He ignored the sign that said stay off the ice, the one right outside the firehall. Love Yellowknife. Edit: military grade means made by the cheapest price possible. Don't cover your face, you get moisture in your bivvy bag which gets your sleeping bag wet which means cold.
Jay, I think you’re starting to loose it 😂. You are insane, in a good way. Thanks for taking us along on your slow descent into insanity. Seriously, you are the bomb!
hello Jay that awesome ideal putting 3 tents together that must kept you warm but you got to get another sleep pad so air won't come out it would stay in
Hey Jay...Very cool video. Just some advise. When you were unzipping the insulated floor from the tent, I wouldn't pull zippers apart like that. As you run thr risk of damaging the zipper and it won't properly zip up or possibly rip the zipper seam. The best part was you cooking that prime rib. Best cut of steak in my opinion.
Jay you always make me hungry,I tried the beef with onions and mushrooms the problem is that I watch your videos when I'm in bed at night and you make me hungry😂❤😂
I have the UP-5 and have camped out in -40 F. Of course I was using the tent stove, but you don't need a lot of heat in these tents. When I first started camping with it, I banked the fire good to keep warm at night. Wound up having to open the door and windows because it got over 90 F inside with -20 F or so outside. Never thought to try it will just body heat. Nice to see that is a survivable option. Even more since my Rottie and Husky are my tent buddies. I will say the only downside to the UP-5 is the weight. Well worth it for a comfortable night's sleep though. Oh, and in case you didn't figure it out: The tent bag for the UP tents feels like there's lots of "extra" space. Compared to most tent bags, that is. However, you can stuff the footprint in the bag so it's all together. This puts that "loose" bag back to a very tight fit as per most tent bags.
Lol…..the home of bush parties back in my wilder days,sand pits,Sammy’s hideaway,tin can hill. Just to mention a few. Great adventure.enjoy the great white north.👍😁
If you slept the opposite way with your head facing down the way then you could have had the camouflaged side up. Also if you use a hooped bivy which has one semi circle hoop this keeps the material off your face by about a foot.
Hi Jay I have been following you for a few years now but this last 4 months I thought you deserved recognition so I binge watched your entire video channel you up loaded and liked every one however I did think twice about the modeling one 🤣. I Whatched you develop your channel from having a very primitive approach to what you established now. The channel is doing great and occasionally I Will repeat some videos just to help you out which I did recognise your were just happy just making vids but let's face it you need some return for your efforts. Jay you eat so much salt you make feel like Im normal, and meat nothing should stand still for too long around you. Your not afraid to lern or take advise and boy I would love to give you some good advice however there are so many good folks out there giving you fantastic advise and we see some negative too but each to there own. keep up the good work as you approach the 200k mark...thia last 3/4 months i have seen it grow from 174 . look after crystal she is a keeper and very supportive of one's ambitions 😉 Look after your self pal.....from Lloyd UK
This is an awesome comment, Lloyd. It means a lot to know there's support like this out there. Thanks for watching and cheering the channel to 200k. Jay

Well Jay, once again you did not disappoint. Great to see how the setup worked. Now how to improve the sleeping pad..
Super fun video! And cool in general. I"m glad you put this video together.
Thanks Stitch!
Good one! Thanks! 😊
Great Video Jay ❤
Thanks J! I sure wouldn’t enjoy packing out all that gear,
I always feel more content when i watch a new jay legere video
Oh my eh! You’re one funny guy 🥳🤩
Hi Jay love 💕 the way you cook the Steak Awesome Amazing mmmmmm so Good Delicious 😊
Wow, the Russian Doll tent haha! 😁
My girlfriend said the same thing
Hilarious! Only Jay would come up with this😅
This was a different and novel way to stay protected and warm. But I'm thinking you'd rather have a wood stove than 4 tents 😉 You were definitely having fun. And you can't beat steak and country music! Looking forward to your next adventure!
Always great to see you
All your subscribers are sooo lucky you're a little bit crazy, lol You'll try anything! ❤
Living the dream Jay ! Awesome video and great meals 😋
Super fun video to enjoy with my morning coffee ☕️ 👍
one of your best videos in my opinion. your confidence level was high. And fun content. although I like to watch you learn how to NOT be a carpenter on the cabin. 🤣😂😂great video Jay.
I do love how to ot be a carpenter. Thanks, Shawn, for this comment. Tough crowd today, so I appreciate this one. Ha.

That was awesome!
Jay, the "Tent-a-appaloosa" idea was wild!
I hope you eye is ok..
love your videos 👍
I'm feeling better today. Thanks for asking.

Lol that's a lot of $$$ in tents those tents are amazing but not cheap. Love your videos man! I'm looking into getting the UP 2 or UP 5
hello Jay that awesome ideal putting 3 tents together that must kept you warm but you got to get another sleep pad so air won't come out it would stay in

Estopu adorando a sua ideia sensacional vc é demais bora la
I'm enjoying this but I think you are enjoying it more
Interesting, interesting. Had no clue you could set up tents like that.
Interesting experiment Jay 😊. I enjoyed it. Tyfs God bless you
Thanks, Debbie. Something different while I wait to get to the cabin.
@@jaylegere absolutely..can't wait ✋️
I have the same burner. Not a fan of the cup style burning pot. But once it’s going it’s great
I agree 100%
Looks like a lot of work putting tents inside of tents, inside of tents. I'm not sold but great content as usual Jay
It was all for fun. It worked well
Lol can't believe u. R doing that, good luck 👏👍🥶
did you meet the party people Jay great 4 tent review thanks enjoy your week
I decided to just take it all in from my camp. Ha.
Impractical, but interesting experiment.
I have the UP-5 and have camped out in -40 F. Of course I was using the tent stove, but you don't need a lot of heat in these tents. When I first started camping with it, I banked the fire good to keep warm at night. Wound up having to open the door and windows because it got over 90 F inside with -20 F or so outside.

damn you won those!! I thought exactly the same!! but only with up2 mini and up5. You did this well!!!😍
😅😅😅 I've thought of this when I was in 3rd grade. Finally someone has tested it out 😂😂😂
That was awesome ❤
Jay so you know Hoot means funny👍
This is wicked cool.
Several pads will fit inside the bivy under your bag, fully enclosed system. Sometimes much needed. Pays to be prepared.
Great video Mon ami
Very cool Layers of tents 🏕️ it works 👍
Very interesting video, try a 3/8 foam pad under the inflatable pad, makes a world of difference.
its been done beforevon TH-cam.....aleast 2 other people have done this.....but its still a great ideal
That was interesting. ✌️☺️🙏🇱🇷
I really look forward to your videos jay. Keep up the good work man! Also is your into music an actual song? I could listen to that all day
Tentception!
Lol…..the home of bush parties back in my wilder days,sand pits,Sammy’s hideaway,tin can hill. Just to mention a few.
Great adventure.enjoy the great white north.👍😁
I was at those same parties growing up. Awesome times
Ah...the Steve Wallis school of firelighting 😁
He knows his gas
Very interesting experiment but it seems like a lot of work
I see some guys used a foldable metal shield to put around the stove and container you are cooking in to help when the wind is blowing.
Bears though…. They terrify me beyond words!
So much for the peace and tranquility 🤷🏼♀️
Great video as always, I’m now having bacon, steak and chips for tea, that breakfast sure made me hungry.
Always wondered about doing that.
its been done before. Many times. Still interesting to see how each person works with it though
