Thank you for watching !! You can find me on Instagram at www.instagram.... You can find the axe I was trying out in this video at beavercrafttools.com/JENNAALEXIS
After I saw your cycling video in Iceland. So I went and bought an action camera for my cycling. I hope there are some fun stories like yours. But now I'm learning how to edit video clips, and it's very difficult.
So happy to hear that!! Best of luck on all your adventures 😁 and yeah the editing is the hard part haha but so worth it once you’ve finished a project !
I’ve been watching and totally rewatching your videos since you taught me how to bleach my hair forever ago 😂 Never in a million years did I ever think I’d be watching you so on such grand adventures, let alone aspiring to go on some of my own one day! Would love to see a video about how you got started on this type of journey of outdoors living. Was it something you’ve always done or trained / supplied up recently for ? You have this ever knowing and retrospective presence about you that will keep me watching regardless of what you choose to share publicly online. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride ❤
Thankyou for all the kindness 🥹 and the fact that you’ve been watching my videos for that long is crazy!! I hope to one day make a video for people looking to get into the outdoors lol I wasn’t raised “outdoorsy” or anything it’s definitely something I’ve come into in recent years and had to learn about from scratch!
More bushcraft camping videos please!!!! I love watching people like Victoria outside and hike camp climb. I have been watching your videos since you were dyeing your hair in high school. Please keep this content and do more. It's so peaceful and good.
10:40 This is a tip for those reading this. Keep in mind to obviously keep the fire going in the summer or winter. If the snow and water are plentiful if you're next to a water source like a river, stream, or lake you can boil the oils off inside the pots after cooking. No need for soap or sponge if you boil the oily scum off and it's literally ready for the next cooking time because the boiling process also kills bacteria on contact. You're welcome!
This is like heaven for me lady! I’ve been watching you since I was like 13, bleaching and coloring our hair haha. I adore you and also bushcraft/camping vids. I’ve never commented but I wanted to let you know you’re a big inspiration in my life, can’t wait to see what comes next for you, you’re dope!
Sorry I’m just seeing this comment now, I just want to say thankyou so much! I love that we have all that in common 🥹 I hope you’re doing well, thanks for checking up on my channel after all these years lol
Your video shows you enjoy what you are doing, and have the skills to achieve a successful adventure. Love you use all the skills learned in Scouts and Guides. You are a great mentor and influence. I have to work overtime in the morning. Would rather be winter camping. I'm going ice climbing in a month. Loved your bike trip to Banff and your Tour de Iceland.
Thankyou so much! And wow that’s so exciting! Ice climbing is something I’ve been wanting to get into over the last few years but I don’t know where to start. Any advice? I do like to boulder/sport climb
Ice climbing is just climbing with tools that put your balance out away from the face, like climbing an overhang. Get a membership to the Alpine Club of Canada - Calgary section. U of C has the Outdoor Pursuits Ice climbing courses, Ice 1 and Ice 2. I am a Alpine Club member in the Calgary and Saskatchewan Section. The Saskatchewan section always hosts a ACC SK Choppers beginner ice climbing outing out of Canmore, Nordegg, or out of backcountry Hostels along Hwy93, during U of Sask reading week in February. There were still openings, if you become a Sask member, but they fill fast. Calgary Section, generally has their Ice Review, ice climbing, between Christmas and New Years in the Ghost. Members also post trips on their Section websites. Hope that helps.@@jennalexisko
only found this channel like yesterday, got totally inspired to get back out on my bike for the first time in ages (my legs hurt now lol) - just want to say you're awesome at these videos with capturing the vibe of a place, the sounds and everything, super impressive alongside all the adventuring, had a great time watching this :D
I have been looking for something like this channel which is made in Canada and thanks to TH-cam's algorithm! You are so brave to go for different adventures by yourself! I wish one day I could do the same thing as you did. (Iceland has been the top of my bucket list for a long time😭) I have been planning to move from Toronto to Calgary and your videos give me strength and encourage me to chase for the lifestyle that I wanna live. Thanks Jenna!
Sorry I didn’t see this comment when you first posted! That makes me so happy to hear so Thankyou! And best of luck on all your adventures, I think you’ll love Calgary (I know I do) and the proximity to the mountains/backcountry is the cherry on top!
I'm so happy that i discovered your channel. The vibes, the style, everything is just perfect! :D The best discover in a while Thank you for having that channel, amazing content, keep it up!
I'm glad I found this channel. This is very inspiring and helps me with my future decisions when going out on adventures. Regardless of what you do on this channel, I hope to see more bikepacking videos sooner or later. Have fun and be safe out there!
Thanks so much and best of luck on your adventures :) hoping to do more cycling trips over the summer for sure! Have to find a way to keep busy in the meantime though 🤣
@@jennalexisko Awesome! Looking forward to it and thank you. I've been looking up cameras since your previous trip. Now I'm wondering your next trip. Don't tell me, I like the spontaneity of these trips. Ok, be safe!
So nice and aspiring to see other people doing things that other people look at me like im crazy for lol. Need to try some winter camping next year. Rather cycle though
Just yesterday I wondered when you’ll upload next and THIS is an actual proof of manifestation.. BOOM a video the very next day. When I say I audibly gasped when I saw this video would be an understatement😅 Another kickass content as per usual. 👌🏻
Loving all the outdoor content 🫶🏼 I’ve been wanting to try winter camping but definitely need the right gear for the in Northern Minnesota. Thanks for the video!
Hey, would love to see more bushcraft❤ also I think since the axe is new, it's slicing more than splitting. As the edge wears it should wedge the wood a bit more. You probably have a better feel after using it though, I'm just going off of the footage
Thankyou! In this particular video I was camping on crown-land (also known as PLUZ land) which is land that you can camp on in Canada. I have a permit that cost me only $30 that allows me to stay in any one spot for up to 14 days, I also have a permit for harvesting wood from crown land!
I guess that's the Canadian equivalent of camping in a Texas summer (where I'm from). lol. I'm not brave enough to do either! Cool video though. Shows you know what you're doing out there.
Thankyou 🥹 right now I use 2 cameras: the DJI osmo action 3 (they have the 4 out now!) and the DJI pocket 3! The action 3 is a great all around camera but doesn’t do great low light or close ups which is why I got a second camera, but I heard that in the osmo 4 they fixed some of those issues!
I find the biggest concern in my area is bears (we have both black bears and grizzly bears here) but that is why I love winter camping because they are all hibernating! Of course there are major precautions to take in the summer like preparing and storing food away from camp. I do still bring my bear spray with me even in the winter to use as an all-around protective tool against predators, but dangerous wolf and cougar encounters with humans are rare, they tend to stay away from humans as soon as they smell or hear them because they essentially don’t know what we are, and consider us a threat. And although encounters are rare, it is good to read up on what to do in case something were to happen, there are different protocols for different animal encounters that ensure your best chance of survival!
Bears are asleep this time of year (winter hibernation) and although you should be prepared on what to do incase of a wolf encounter, they are very rare. I am more afraid of people than most wild animals lol.
Thanks for a great video to watch Jenna 😄 I'm sorry if you've been asked this 1000's times... what camera/phone has this been shot on please?? Love from Brighton, UK ❤
Was now going to ask the same question, was thinking it was a gopro. Just searched for DJI cameras you mentioned and wow, they're expensive. But I guess that is what is necessary to get such quality. Keep posting 😀👍
@@jennalexisko thank you for a speedy reply 😁 it was shot beautifully, thank you for the camera recommendations.... I look forward to your next video... Happy Adventures to you 💜
Yes! I just recently bought a camera with a built in Gimbal (the osmo pocket 3) and there is a setting where the camera can follow your movements! Still getting the hang of using it which is why I didn’t use that feature too much in the video but I think it’s super cool!
Are the bears all hibernated in your area? What about the mountain lions? Those should still be around. I am sure the mountain lions can smell your fire-cooked food. The scent of the cooked food is probably giving the bears really vivid and tasty dreams in their dens. I didn't see any bear sprays or knife hanging on your waste just in case. Sleeping all alone in the wild with just a tarp overhead is kinda scary. The little fire is not going help much when the predators are hungry, especially when the fire burns down and nearly out. Doesn't help having to lug around camera gears either. But a thrilling night with the predators in the background, and all alone in the snow covered landscape can be soulfully rejuvenating. Watching you going through it does bring out my spidery senses and make me enjoy my low risk city life. However, It does look fun to be able to escape to the freezing cold, snow covered wilderness and come home safely.
I actually didn’t weigh it. I do aim to be on the lighter side although with winter gear it’s a bit tougher. The sled wasn’t terribly heavy though! Not hard for me to lift up if needed
Awesome, loved your icelandic video, I didn't even know it was possible to go around iceland like that. Have you always been outdoorsy? How did you learn about all this stuff? @@jennalexisko

I love getting outdoors but my favorite part is seeing what people eat on the trail. Lamb stew is a great idea! Thanks!
Haha it did not disappoint!! Turned out to be more of a soup than a stew though 🤣
This video was lots of fun. Thank you. God bless.
Thankyou 😁
JENNAAAAA!!!! Finally!!!!! Love the bush craft direction you’re going in! 👍🤗
Thankyou!! I’m super excited
ever since i came across this channel i am just loving it.

Haha gotta keep busy on the off season!
@jennalexisko you already know! Prolly gonna do a Toronto to Calgary trip at some point in my life. 🚲
Just yesterday I wondered when you’ll upload next and THIS is an actual proof of manifestation.. BOOM a video the very next day. When I say I audibly gasped when I saw this video would be an understatement😅
Another kickass content as per usual. 👌🏻

Thanks girl❤ it was a bit of investment for the right gear but I’m glad to have it now knowing can use it for years to come!
Yeah fr ! Just gotta bite the bullet 😂
this is truly amazing!!! how are you not afraid of going alone?
Definitely still get a bit scared at times but I try to remind myself to stay calm and remember where I’m at and why I’m there!
@@jennalexisko respect🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Excellent video! Respect from Taiwan. 👍👍👍
Thankyou 😁♥️
Your videos are excellent!
Thankyou 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it
Icelander here: The "secret" to the Icelandic lamb stew/soup is that it uses a vegetable stock broth. Also Icelandic lamb is usually really lean meat.
Excellent cycling videos. I recommend you the story of heinz stucke
Amazing Jenna ❤
I’ve missed you queen 🫶🏻
Hey, would love to see more bushcraft❤ also I think since the axe is new, it's slicing more than splitting. As the edge wears it should wedge the wood a bit more. You probably have a better feel after using it though, I'm just going off of the footage
Nice one Jenna❤ the idea of cold camping seems fun..just wondering how to you find places to cold camp thats safe and legal

oh thank you, thank you, thank you, no drones, no lame jokes. I would forego music, completely
I like your video❤❤
“You Are A Strong Woman.
I Love You Already.”😊
Jenna, I would like to invite you to the Calgary Motorcycle Show. You are a Sporty Girl (like me) and I think you might like it.
I love the vibes!! What do you film on? :)
What, no crocs this time?
You know my friend just sent me a link to these winterized boot-crocs, I’ll have to consider 🤣
Incredible
Love your content! Its inspiring! What do you film with if you don’t mind me asking?
Thankyou 🥹 right now I use 2 cameras: the DJI osmo action 3 (they have the 4 out now!) and the DJI pocket 3! The action 3 is a great all around camera but doesn’t do great low light or close ups which is why I got a second camera, but I heard that in the osmo 4 they fixed some of those issues!
84k subs already. The joy of being a good looking young woman. Lol
Haha I’ve actually had this channel for about 9 years! Most of my subscribers are from like 2016 lol
Awesome videos
Those trees are widow makers. Hopefully, no wind.
I checked all around me for widow makers and cut down all the dead trees near my camp! And thankfully, a super clear night with no wind 😁
Oh that's very much winter 🥶
❤❤❤
How long did you go camping for? Was it just over night? This is very cool
Outdoor Boys vibes yo
What tarp do you use? Looks lightweight and durable
this was so cool :D did ya just go back home after that night or had another stop?
It was just one nighter :) I’m Hoping to invest in a hot tent or something though to make longer winter trips more possible!
@@jennalexiskoi went hiking in the snow today and chanelled your positive energy hahah, looking forward to see more of your adventures 🎉
I’d love to do this but what precautions do you take incase of mountain lions and other wild animals? 😅

@@jennalexisko thank you :) that helps
Do you feel setting up cameras and filming and narrating make the trip more fun or is it a bit tedious, but made up for later by making the video?
I actually kind of enjoy it, especially when I’m alone because I’d be talking to myself anyway haha,
And it kind of keeps me company in a way!
@@jennalexisko Great! love the videos
@emilpettersson4509 Thankyou!!
