Tiny Tent in the Woods. Bears are Awake

  • We all want that secret place in the woods that we can escape to. A place where we can unwind, rest and take in the scenery. But having a remote camp means there's work to do. You need to make sure it's clean, and warm, and that you have enough food.
    My camp is remote and now I'm walking across frozen lakes to get there. And it's May!

    I think I've said this on here before. Black bear scat usually has berries in it. Grizzly scat has little bits of flannel and smells like bear spray.

    Awesome photography. You have come quite a way. Thank you for all the effort in sharing this with us. I have a comment/suggestion for you. Just some advice from an old man who has lived off wood heat all my life. When cutting medium sized logs with an axe chop it like this. your swing should be right then left, then left then right, right then left. you will be surprized how much more material you will remove and with less effort. Give it a shot. Thanks again.

    Another awesome video jay! Can’t wait for my kids to get a little older so I can do this type of stuff with them, thanks for taking us along on the hike in to camp, really enjoyed it, I’m going to look for those pork things next time we go shopping, looks delicious!

    That is quite a hike for a weekend "at the camp." The snow mobile really makes that trip bearable, but hiking it is really a workout.

    I still very much enjoy your videos which seem to get better and better. So cool to watch now after being a sub for so long.
    I do a week in a tent like that hunting every year, and I also own a cabin. Watching you at your set up makes me want a full time tent! Just such a nice, simple set up, well done and very peaceful. Thanks for sharing Jay!

    Thanks Jay, looking forward to seeing the other site you took over and what you might be doing there where you took the old tent down. Looks like you have a busy summer ahead. I will b e heading out myself this summer on some adventures camping as you have inspired mr to get back out to nature and how important it is to reconnect with it.

    Dang Jay, really stepping up the video quality huh? Those drone shots were beautiful! Glad to know that you’re taking precautions as the bears are coming back and doing what you can to stay safe. You truly do live a fantastic and enjoyable life (at least I think so) and I hope you enjoy every moment of it, I know I enjoy watching it. Much love and until next time!

  • @TheWilkReport
    @TheWilkReport 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Suggestion: get yourself reasonably priced but easy to replace eating utensils that you wash and put away to leave at the campsite. Alternatively, you can try crafting your own. If you have access to horn, you can use hot oil to soften the material enough to carve and shape it to your needs.

    A trick I adopted years ago and teach is when you leave camp set your wood stove / fire pit up for a fire. That way when coming back if something happens like you fall into the water or get hurt your fire is ready to go instantly.

  • @Ghostdog4
    @Ghostdog4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm always delighted to see you arrive at your camp and its been untouched. A testament to the remoteness and character of the people in the area. Dude, Steak a medley of root vegetables, Bacon, Coffee and the Bears are just awaking up and starving??? Invite them over, meet your neighbors. A BBQ some songs around a campfire. Make a solid woodland buddy friend thing with the Ursus family. Promise them donuts when you come back and they will protect your property like watchdogs.

    Spring has sprung! Soon enough you'll have to take the long way to get to the tent, but then you'll be able to get some fishing in so it'll be worth it. Adding the drone shots was a big plus too.
    Once things have thawed out you should check the corner of the tent platform to see if it settled any more. By the looks of it, the frozen ground hasn't moved any during the winter, but that might change in warmer temperatures. As always, thanks for sharing.

    Another great video. I’m glad you explained about the bears and showed the devices you use. Of course the food part is great too. Here in the South we call that pork bacon (White meat) because it’s so white. We usually wash it first since it’s so salty. Yeah we eat it a lot here in Alabama. Your camp site is beautiful even without the snow. I’m sure the air quality is fresh. Thanks for bringing us along. 😀

    Spring and Winter my 2 favorite seasons. Fall is so beautiful too. But I just like to hang onto that last little bit of Winter with the crocus starting to poke threw and the warmth on my face and a good fire. I’m sad to see the Winter leave because that means my Jay in the woods time is shorter. Until next Winter Jay. I know we will see you here and there. May you be healthy and happy and closer to your dreams. Thank you Jay.

    I remember you mentioned that you had the covid not long ago, it's a shame but it does affect your sense of smell for a little while, had it 10 months ago and still iffy myself sometimes. Hang in there bud, you'll get better. You really should leave a set of cutlery at the tent, you can clean them thoroughly with snow, store them above with other items. I am with you about the chocolate, Cadbury makes the best, my favorite is the fruit and nut bar. caramello is awesome too, Enjoy

    I am 65 yo and due to spine issues can no longer hike. This said, I still enjoy the outdoors and natural beauty. I have come to enjoy your videos because nature, your cozy cabin/tent stories are telling about life in the wilderness. I once spent a month in the wilderness of California. It was awesome. And I think your girlfriend is wonderful. I hope you marry her! PS, your cooking is amazing. If I ate the way you can, I would be a blimp. Goes to show you the value of vigorous exercise.

  • @johnmcmullen6038
    @johnmcmullen6038 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Jay, its hard to avoid sweating on a hike. In winter conditions I always take another set of clothes and change immediatly upon arrival. Then you can warm up immediately, take your time setting the fire in the wood stove and and dry out your clothes. No chills, or at least they don't last long. Also remove layers as you warm up on a hike without delay. Minimizing the overheating will reduce the sweathing too. I add and remove clothing fast. If you get too wet, you are at high risk of Hypothermia if something goes wrong. Not to mention there is no help on the way any time soon.

    Hey Jay awesome video, the one thing I wanna say is with the bear bangers, when you're in the back country the point of the loose spring lock is so that you can have a banger on the shooter and ready so if u have to use it all yoh do is pull over pull it back and release... Trust me I've used it multiple times it's very effective that way.

    One time I baked some bread, and pulled it out of the oven about 15 minutes before going to work. I took a loaf and gave it to my brother. He wanted to eat some then and there...but said he didn't have a knife to slice it.
    I just laughed...and said "Do it like people have done for thousands of years...pull off a piece"
    He just laughed too....said he was 'too civilized' at times.

    Awesome videos! I enjoy them quite a bit. Just wanted to say be careful with those cheap stainless steel grill brushes. They can shed and end up in the food. People in the US had to have intestinal surgery to get them out. Just watch out for shedding.
    Sorry to be a killjoy, just be aware.
