As someone who has been a subscriber from the early beginning, I can agree the wall tent videos are the core of your channel. This channel has that "je ne sais quoi" surrounding it. The extreme temperatures, the snow, the woodstoves for heat, the fresh cooked meals. The all around survival. It's amazing to see how far you've grown. Not only as a channel, but in experience and expertise in these environments. As the channel matured, the addition of the RBM tents and the cabin have a been a welcome sight, as it allows us to see more of what made this channel what it is today. Even your spring and summer travels to the wall tent are fantastic. Keep on doing what you're doing Jay. I think I speak for most of the fans and subscribers that we'll continue to watch and look forward to new videos.
Wow. This was almost a manifestation. On your last video, I asked about your cabin and look what we have here! The time you put into editing and creating such amazing content does not go unappreciated. Stay safe and warm (ish) this winter season Jay. From Georgia
I LOVE the videos in the new cabin and I can’t wait until you completely make it your own and it’s a comfortable, cozy, warm, inviting place for you and your guests and us viewers!!
HI Jay, enjoyed how you survive in the really cold. I have a off grid cabin north of Williams, AZ, 45 miles south of the Grand Canyon. It gets to single digits,F°& 60 mph+ winds at times. So what your sharing, I've been there also, just not as cold weather that you have . Be safe & warm.🤠
Aah … Jay, you brought the music back. I love that song and it’s so fitting for your outdoor adventures. I will never get tired of hearing it in the beginning and end of your videos. I Love watching every one of your videos, especially the ones of your tent cabin. Thanks for sharing all aspects of your outings with us.
Jay thank you so much for sharing your journey. I love both the wall tent and the cabin videos. I am more interested in seeing what possibilities you will create at the cabin but the wall tent delivers serenity with the beautiful views. You are a hard working man. Merry Christmas Jay!
Another enjoyable video. I sit in my warm, cozy den (in north Georgia USA) and still shiver when your thermometer reads -5˚F. Your meals are always simple, yet tasty. Making homemade bread in the wood stove worked better than I could imagine. Hopefully, you can get the wood stove oven to fit. Good luck with all the renovations you have planned. It's a work in progress that will be fun to follow. Safe travels on the snow and ice.
At 11:25 reminds me of being a kid and watching the snowfall but feeling like you’re flying through space and the snow is like a star you’re passing. Keep up the great vids Jay! Also I always enjoy what you cook while out in the woods😂.
Hi Jay - my wife and I just recently discovered your channel, and we really enjoy it. We are in the early phases of planning our next adventure in life, moving toward a more self-sufficient, somewhat off-grid life. What we love about your channel is the feeling of remoteness and survival blended with coziness. We love to camp, and my wife loves to "make do" with whatever gear/food we have available at the time. That's what we enjoy about your experiences...you are too remote to just run to the store to get something, so you have to plan, bring what you need, and do with what you have. Whether that be in a tent, a cabin, or something else, doesn't matter to us...we just enjoy watching your process!
Jay this is my third winter with you and your videos. Being a woman I would love to see the cabin become more homey and finished. I think watching the process would be fun. Yes, I love the walled tent but the cabin is fun to watch as well.
@@jaylegere suggestion, improve heating, on wall behind, to side of wood stove, get some 30 inch by 48 inchwide CORRUGATED galv steel, like used on roofs, with the corrugation running the 4 foot direction, then space panel 3/4 inch off wall, holding about 1 1/2 inches of floor...and attach. The Steel as the stove heats it, will create a natural draw off floor, sending warm air up...creating an efficient natural circulation and staple some mylar to your ceiling, that will help dramatically, help with cooling in summer too
Jay, thanks for yet another amazing video and sharing your journey. We have much in common including having built a similar trapping cabin with a friend and many a great times there. Be it your tent camp, this cabin, the delicious meals, the northern lights or that sweet new Expedition you’re running, keep it up! I’m sure you’ll have that place transformed to your liking more every trip. Solar panel, trickle charger and a battery bank is likely in the plans for ease of use and readiness upon arrival. Merry Christmas and cheers!
LOVE your videos!! Regarding the generator -- motors need 3 things: fuel, air, and spark. Use only ethanol-free (ie, "rec") gas, check your air intake and filter, and change your spark plugs every year...even if you don't think you need to.
Hahah wow, weird. This showed up on my suggestions and i was like i recognize that place. You bought it off my dad and his girlfriend shirley. I built that little temporary generator box lol. Ive spent quite a few nights out there
Awesome video, as usual, Jay. As a long time Honda EU2000 and EU2200 generator owner you’re in for a wild ride if you’re using ethanol fuel. The jets clog easily when using ethanol. Do your best to not use ethanol fuel. If you must use it, the only remedy is to have the tools on hand to quickly clean the carb when needed. It’s not difficult but is annoying.
As a small engine mechanic, I have to agree. But all grades of fuel in Canada have ethanol in them. Premium has the least. I recommend to all my customers to run premium, whether it's a snowmobile or a snowblower, you'll run into the least amount of carburetor issues.
You could put it into a carboy and let the alcohol separate out using about one cup of water per gallon. Or you can get a device that has a valve at the bottom called an ethinator. You still have to add water and shake it to make the gas and ethanol hit what's called phase separation. But after that you have pure gas

Another fantastic video Jay! I thoroughly enjoy all of your content. The cabin tent will always be a favorite for most viewers because it where this channel started. But change is always nice to. As always I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers
Just a small suggestion. When frying potatoes, the stove doesn’t get the grease hot enough and the potatoes really soak it up. I recommend a portable propane camp stove. It heats the oil faster and more evenly so the potatoes are crisp and not overly greasy. Unless, of course, you prefer them over the stove.
Hello! You should try a stove with cold air intake, now you burning the little hot air it produces. It should speed up the heating time. Love from Sweden🤗
Hey Jay. Wonderful video as always. Loving the cabin but it's got me thinking, would it be expensive to drill a borehole down through the floor to install a handpump for fresh water? I can picture you and Crystal pumping water like the Duttons in 1883. As much as I love the tent and now the cabin, my favourite part of your videos is the cooking because dear God I salivate at most of the meals you prepare. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful New Year. See you next year. Best wishes from South Wales 🏴 UK.
I would’ve left the shower curtains until you had something of a replacement. Those are much better than nothing to fight the cold with the upper windows
I'd like to know how feasible it is to either replace that particle board siding with logs, or put up a log exterior affixed to the boards for structural support. That cabin just looks like a powerful winter wind would knock it right over, and not only would the log reinforcement help, it might add an extra layer of insulation against the cold.
Jay, you never cease to amaze me! I love your cooking skills. Another couple minutes, and that bread probably would have had a little more color too it. I’m sure it was delicious. Love the cabin. Can’t wait to see your lady friend come put her touch on the cabin. Look forward to the next video, very exciting! I’m sure that the next time you visit the cabin the stove pipe will be be ready to except the oven. That is one beautiful addition to the stove. Still trying to figure out how to contact you! When the grandkids come over Christmas, I’ll have a lesson (Ha Ha Ha)! Keep up the Great work, and be SAFE!!!😮
Greeting Jay! I love your cooking skills and your willingness to try new tools and building techniques. You have such a healthy attitude! Here is my go-to list.....for you, the puppy and anyone who should stay with you: SMOKE detectors and carbon monoxide detectors!!! And Maybe a few extra fire extinguishers. And an escape window and chain type ladder in the loft. The cabin is a long way from help! Yea, I sound like a worry-wort but I have been through a few of these events and lived to advise others on being prepared! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures! KLR in Colorado. Take care of yourself and those you love.......
Jay you are one of the most down to earth people I have watched on u tube. I have been here long time watching you and you truly do have a passion for doing the hard times in the cold and being positive while you do it. Such a pleasure to watch your videos. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the cabin to put your mark on it and majestic it one of your places to share adventures with us.
Hello Jay, I like the tent videos but I am excited to see what you do at the cabin. It has all the makings of a beautiful spot. I'm a cabin kinda gal especially in bear county! You make great interesting videos! I'm always ready for the next one!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU JAY AND CRYSTAL AND HAPPT NEW YEAR AND ALL THE BEST IN THIS COMING NEW YEAR Take care and be safe.I like watching your channel when you and Crystal are together at your new cabin...
The tent shack is where it all started and that is like the home of the channel in my eyes but the cabin is the beginning of a new chapter and definitely can't wait to see what you do with the place hopefully you can spend time between both locations and we will enjoy every video you put out Thank you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I always enjoy going along with you. It breaks up the day for me. I’m 76 and I love living through all the channels I watch. I’ve saw and learned so much. So thank you Jay, it’s been fun….🙋🏻♀️🩵🙏
In my head I was thinking "that bread is gonna burn" and then Jay pulls out a really good looking loaf. I really like seeing you experiment out there with camp cooking. For a first time loaf cooked in a wood stove, it looked perfect. I can't wait to see if you catch and cook anything through the ice.
Been a fan subscriber from the beginning ❤ Love all your adventures Keep doing what makes you happy and we all will be watching❤ Thank you for all your hard work and stay safe Merry Christmas from your fans in Melbourne Australia 🎄❤️
Jay and his FAMOUS HOT CHIPS, 🍟 with bread and butter of course ☺ When you get started on your renovations inside the cabin I hope you put in timber steps to the loft that ladder sure don't look safe.. just a thought... you are now in a beautiful winter wonderland, ❄ it looks awesome ❤🕊
Hi Jay , we have been following you for a long while now , actually I'm pretty sure we went back and have watched all you videos. I really like the videos in the tent but I also like the evolution of you videos and now into the cabin. I'd love to have a little cabin like that and I'd be the same way as you I'd be looking at what can I do to make this beautiful cabin even more beautiful , to make it YOURS !! Looking forward to what you come up with. Might consider taking the generator in the cabin when you initially get there and light the stove to get it warmed up to start , once going it would generate it's own heat I suspect. I suspect with the temps you have up there you may have to do that with propane tanks. Now You probably know that more than I as you have way more experience in those temperatures. BTW that bread looked DELICIOUS !! Looking forward to your future videos , Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Tucker and I her in Newfoundland.
Hi Jay, as i get older comfort drives me more then anything. The wall tent is the corner stone of your videos but i have to say seeing you progress into the cabin and what it will become is interesting also. Thanks as always for the great content!
Cabin will a fun project…a nice garage for your snow mobile and stuff when you start the remodel,a close area for all the fire wood, also an area to enter before you are in the cabin
Hi Jay, all the way from Scotland. I started following you as I love seeing the beautiful scenery and watching you get all cosy with the woodstove. Love seeing what you are gonna cook up next, makes me hungry but im normally in bed watching your videos as thats me time. I enjoy all your videos, but I am so excited to see what you do with the cabin. I think some nice wood cladding, maybe island off the kitchen which can be used to sit at and one big window looking out from the livingroom you spoke of adding! Would look just like a big painting. All the best and look forward to seeing what you do with this amazing project. Xx
What a lovely video!! I think the fact that every video is in a new environment keeps your channel very interesting. I personally love the camp activities, the work needed to enjoy this way of life and for sure the drone shots, so it doesn’t really matter where you’re staying! I can’t wait to see how you transform the cabin! 👍
Great video!! with regards to the Honda generator. Just keep pulling and it will start eventually. I have two of them one is a bit older and is the 2000 the other is a 2200 like yours. If they sit for a period of time, they will be really hard to start. I feel like the gas drains back to the tank or something. They haven't failed me yet. Good luck with the new place!
I think the plan for the livingroom extension is a good idea. Maybe a front deck would be good as well although you do have a deck on top. If you built one closer to the ground, as you get older, it would be a lot easier to use vs the roof top one. Really looking forward to that build. In the meantime, I wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! From down south Alberta.
Jay, thanks for another great video. Nice work on the bread. I still feel like the tent is “home” for the channel. The cabin is a nice new step brother to the tent that could one day become a trusted brother. It’s definitely not a Jay product, but with a little patience and a lot of hard work you can make something out of it. You always persevere in the woods. Thanks again for the peace, knowledge and entertainment.
Suggestion. When you bring the gas line in through the window try putting a cut to length pool noodle on the edge of the window(s) to keep the cold air from coming inside. Also, the space between the outside window and the inside window can make a reasonably good refrigerator to keep food cold without electricity. We used to do that in the dorms at college during the winter. Great way to always have ice cold beer ready for consumption without it taking up a lot of room in the fridge.
Hi Jay! I love tent as it's where this channel and whole history started long time ago, but cabin is something fresh and new. I hope it will help you grow. Looking forward for rebuild and renovation vids. Merry Christmass and New Year!!
Hey Jay! Love watching your videos and seeing the adventures you bring us along on. Have a question, how many wood stoves do you have? Seems like you're always bringing in another one and swapping it out 😂 Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Another great Vlog. Tbh, I enjoy watching what you do when your visiting all the different places. For me, it's about you being outdoors and I find it very interesting to see how you fill the time. Merry Christmas to you and your fam jam. 🎄🎄
I think you should do things that make you happy. Don't worry about us. We're watching you and living your life with you. And I think it's awesome. You do have a cool set up. Enjoy it as much as you can to make it nice for you. A year young lady, I'm telling you. It's only once in a lifetime. People get to enjoy their life like you do. How is the day she starts getting wire? Ran through your building for your lights. And if you're able to bring a larger propane bottle out than last, you're longer than always helps. Don't fill like just because you forget something. And then you have to regroup and try to do it another way. Hey, that's what life is, and we enjoy watching your life. Try to bring your young lady out there as soon as you're can. And have her enjoy the cabin I know she will she has you
New subscriber here!!! Just came across your channel and I sure am happy I did! I live down south in the states; we dont get much snow down here, I pray for snow and cold weather every winter because I love it,there’s nothing more beautiful. Your videos and camera work are amazing,the landscapes are so crisp, clean, and beautiful!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family Jay,stay safe out there and keep the videos/ content coming!!!!!
I as an outdoor enthusiast and cook must say,"When you get down to cooking you put your ankle in it!" But you might want to carry homemade things like frozen cubes of chicken stock, liquid smoke, whole spices w/grinder and eggs cracked into an old stainless steel bottle. Saves space and makes food even more delicious.
Love the variety of different videos. Not the same stuff every time. As for the hobo cabin I would go with shiplap walls to make it look and feel more homier. I would definitely build a garage or canopy for storage and a place to park the snowmobile to keep the snow off it.
I've got a Honda Eu2000i. When I saw you going to fire yours up I told the wife "That thing isn't going to start". Mine is the exact same way...as soon as the temp goes below zero, its a pain to get going! Needs a primer bulb for sure. I think the canvas tent videos will always be our favorite, but any time you're out in the cold chopping wood, cooking greasy food and relaxing, its going to be entertaining. The effort you put into filming and editing and the eye you have for it is what really sets your videos apart I think.
My favorite thing about your channel is just watching you do you. Tent and cabin in extreme temps, or 2 weeks camping away from fires in the summer, I like it all. You try, that's what I appreciate. You're not afraid to try. Like the bread. You are a give it a go and see what happens guy. Your skill at filming and your personality are why I stay.
Hey Jay. I love all of your content. I think that the most exciting potential will come from the new cabin. I think you will get to show some building skills that people will really like.
Propane: When you are done using propane, leave the stove on and turn the propane tank off. When the burners go out, turn them off. To reuse propane or changing a tank - like in this video; turn the valve on 1/4 to 1/2 a turn - you should hear the hiss. Then light the stove and turn the propane tank on slowly and fully. Leaving a tank turned on when not in use or turning it on quickly can bugger up a regulator.
I like both your tent shack and your new cabin. The view at the cabin is beautiful. I think once you remove alot of the unwanted items it might easier to work on the cabin. Looking forward to your next video.
Love your tent shack / cabin adventure videos! I look forwards to each one! Keep up the good work Jay! Best wishes to you and your family! Happy Holiday's! Cheers!
I love every little success you make along the way! So happy to watch you fulfil each and every milestone. Good on ya Jay. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas season with all your loved ones. Those meals always look so delicious, Yummy every time 🥰😉
A Christmas present from Jay... my husband just poked his head around the door and asked "are you off in Canada again??" He recognises the intro music... 😂. All this from my patio in summertime Tasmania. Best of both worlds. Merry Christmas Jay and to all my fellow armchair travellers.
Love all your content, I'm there for whatever it is you have to offer. I can't wait to see the transition you and Crystal do to the new cabin. Keep on truckin. ❤
Get yourself a nice pacific energy stove. Nice big glass front, burns great, heats super fast, has a fan in the back to move more air around. A lighter oil than normal like 5w30 (i think the manual recommends 10w30) should help for winter starting that generator. A bucket and an RV pump make a great system for the sink in the winter too.
I hate to be a whiner and your camera work is awesome but I sure would enjoy more of the scenery and could do without the chainsaw, generator, etc. You're in a genuine winter wonderland I'd love it if you shared more of the sights and sounds of nature! I heat my home with wood all cut with the big Silky, I don't even own a chainsaw or generator, they're too annoying. I certainly wouldn't fire one up out there!
Amazing video, as usuall! Only one thing: Why is the food preparing and especially the eating of the food so shortcutted? I think you had it a bit longer in older videos and I really enjoyed it.
When I saw a new video pop up I went and made myself a cup of coffee and set u up thrilled it was a nice longer watch. For someone who doesn't have a great sense of smell and taste u sure make the meals sound tasty, lol. Can't wait for the cabin to get upgrades/updates. Tent(s) or cabin I love watching. To me you're a better watch then the programs on TV, (even Yellowstone), lol. Keep up the great work and stay warm. ❤

Really love the thought you put in this comment. Thanks so much. Jay
@@cattleNhayThe translation to your comment is pretty funny, and kind of ghetto sounding...😊

I really like what you do and I like the cabin it will be a very beautiful place to live I'm speaking of the cabin the country is gorgeous
I would’ve left the shower curtains until you had something of a replacement. Those are much better than nothing to fight the cold with the upper windows
I love watching any type of adventure you do but, my favorite is at your new cabin and am really looking forward to your renovations, etc, etc.
Love watching your videos, at first I thoought you were crazy, then I realized, you are Canadian, lol, love the adventures, thanks
I'd like to know how feasible it is to either replace that particle board siding with logs, or put up a log exterior affixed to the boards for structural support.

Love the cabin videos. Looking forward to seeing the renovations.
Greeting Jay! I love your cooking skills and your willingness to try new tools and building techniques. You have such a healthy attitude! Here is my go-to list.....for you, the puppy and anyone who should stay with you: SMOKE detectors and carbon monoxide detectors!!! And Maybe a few extra fire extinguishers. And an escape window and chain type ladder in the loft. The cabin is a long way from help! Yea, I sound like a worry-wort but I have been through a few of these events and lived to advise others on being prepared! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures! KLR in Colorado. Take care of yourself and those you love.......
Great video. To answer your question love all your videos regardless of location. Happy Christmas!

Love the Cabin
Jay you are one of the most down to earth people I have watched on u tube. I have been here long time watching you and you truly do have a passion for doing the hard times in the cold and being positive while you do it. Such a pleasure to watch your videos. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the cabin to put your mark on it and majestic it one of your places to share adventures with us.
Hello Jay, I like the tent videos but I am excited to see what you do at the cabin. It has all the makings of a beautiful spot. I'm a cabin kinda gal especially in bear county! You make great interesting videos! I'm always ready for the next one!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU JAY AND CRYSTAL AND HAPPT NEW YEAR AND ALL THE BEST IN THIS COMING NEW YEAR Take care and be safe.I like watching your channel when you and Crystal are together at your new cabin...
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on Jay. May the lord bless and protect you at the cabin
The tent shack is where it all started and that is like the home of the channel in my eyes but the cabin is the beginning of a new chapter and definitely can't wait to see what you do with the place hopefully you can spend time between both locations and we will enjoy every video you put out Thank you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I always enjoy going along with you. It breaks up the day for me. I’m 76 and I love living through all the channels I watch. I’ve saw and learned so much. So thank you Jay, it’s been fun….🙋🏻♀️🩵🙏
In my head I was thinking "that bread is gonna burn" and then Jay pulls out a really good looking loaf. I really like seeing you experiment out there with camp cooking. For a first time loaf cooked in a wood stove, it looked perfect.
I can't wait to see if you catch and cook anything through the ice.
Been a fan subscriber from the beginning ❤
Love all your adventures
Keep doing what makes you happy and we all will be watching❤
Thank you for all your hard work and stay safe
Merry Christmas from your fans in Melbourne Australia 🎄❤️
I’m really enjoying the cabin videos. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Jay and his FAMOUS HOT CHIPS, 🍟 with bread and butter of course ☺
When you get started on your renovations inside the cabin I hope you put in timber steps to the loft that ladder sure don't look safe.. just a thought... you are now in a beautiful winter wonderland, ❄ it looks awesome ❤🕊
I would have preferred you just bought a piece of land - the cabin is my least favorite part of this channel.
always good to have some lock-deicer or methionyl handy for frozen propane stuff
Hi Jay , we have been following you for a long while now , actually I'm pretty sure we went back and have watched all you videos. I really like the videos in the tent but I also like the evolution of you videos and now into the cabin. I'd love to have a little cabin like that and I'd be the same way as you I'd be looking at what can I do to make this beautiful cabin even more beautiful , to make it YOURS !! Looking forward to what you come up with. Might consider taking the generator in the cabin when you initially get there and light the stove to get it warmed up to start , once going it would generate it's own heat I suspect. I suspect with the temps you have up there you may have to do that with propane tanks. Now You probably know that more than I as you have way more experience in those temperatures. BTW that bread looked DELICIOUS !! Looking forward to your future videos , Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Tucker and I her in Newfoundland.
Hi Jay, as i get older comfort drives me more then anything. The wall tent is the corner stone of your videos but i have to say seeing you progress into the cabin and what it will become is interesting also. Thanks as always for the great content!
Cabin will a fun project…a nice garage for your snow mobile and stuff when you start the remodel,a close area for all the fire wood, also an area to enter before you are in the cabin
Hi Jay good to see you again love watching you cook I have to try the one keeping warm and be safe 👍 happy holidays 🎄⛄🎄
Love your videos Jay and I especially love your new cabin. Keep up the good work! Always look forward to your videos.
Lucky lucky lucky....I'm too old to be out that remote but nice watching it done!
Hi Jay, all the way from Scotland. I started following you as I love seeing the beautiful scenery and watching you get all cosy with the woodstove. Love seeing what you are gonna cook up next, makes me hungry but im normally in bed watching your videos as thats me time. I enjoy all your videos, but I am so excited to see what you do with the cabin. I think some nice wood cladding, maybe island off the kitchen which can be used to sit at and one big window looking out from the livingroom you spoke of adding! Would look just like a big painting. All the best and look forward to seeing what you do with this amazing project. Xx
Hello from Montana, I say the same thing about where you are. Hope to some day visit it.
What a lovely video!! I think the fact that every video is in a new environment keeps your channel very interesting. I personally love the camp activities, the work needed to enjoy this way of life and for sure the drone shots, so it doesn’t really matter where you’re staying! I can’t wait to see how you transform the cabin! 👍
Great video!! with regards to the Honda generator. Just keep pulling and it will start eventually. I have two of them one is a bit older and is the 2000 the other is a 2200 like yours. If they sit for a period of time, they will be really hard to start. I feel like the gas drains back to the tank or something. They haven't failed me yet. Good luck with the new place!
Thanks for the tips
I love the beautiful scenery around the cabin. I’m excited to see what amazing ideas you have for the cabin, love your videos ❤
Ha. Every time I watch your channel, you are replacing a stove. Should call your channel “Jay swaps out the stove”. Great videos bud.
I'll be honest, I am really hoping to stop swapping now for a while. It's been a lot. ha
This is my 2nd time. Good stuff. I’m thinking you also like cooking.
I glad you are using your old intro music again because it fits better with your videos better than any other music 🎶
Your stove looks awful close to that backwall is there any danger there
For me, I like the tent shack. The cabin is really nice and will be even nicer as you add on. The tent shack is more rustic.
I think the plan for the livingroom extension is a good idea. Maybe a front deck would be good as well although you do have a deck on top. If you built one closer to the ground, as you get older, it would be a lot easier to use vs the roof top one. Really looking forward to that build. In the meantime, I wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! From down south Alberta.
Jay, thanks for another great video. Nice work on the bread. I still feel like the tent is “home” for the channel. The cabin is a nice new step brother to the tent that could one day become a trusted brother. It’s definitely not a Jay product, but with a little patience and a lot of hard work you can make something out of it. You always persevere in the woods. Thanks again for the peace, knowledge and entertainment.
Hey, my brother Jay, it's good to see you again camping in the cabin it's going to take a long time, but you will and girlfriend help get it done
Suggestion. When you bring the gas line in through the window try putting a cut to length pool noodle on the edge of the window(s) to keep the cold air from coming inside.
Also, the space between the outside window and the inside window can make a reasonably good refrigerator to keep food cold without electricity. We used to do that in the dorms at college during the winter. Great way to always have ice cold beer ready for consumption without it taking up a lot of room in the fridge.
Hi Jay! I love tent as it's where this channel and whole history started long time ago, but cabin is something fresh and new. I hope it will help you grow. Looking forward for rebuild and renovation vids. Merry Christmass and New Year!!
Hola. Im new to the channel. Love your videos.
Im from Puerto Rico anf i love to watch your snow videos
Welcome to the channel!
You make me hungry. But you eat too much grease. Love your videos
Hey Jay! Love watching your videos and seeing the adventures you bring us along on. Have a question, how many wood stoves do you have? Seems like you're always bringing in another one and swapping it out 😂 Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I live in Montana, and I think your country is very beautiful, but I’m a felon, and I’m not allowed to come to your country to see it
Montana is definitely a special place. Thanks for commenting. Jay
Merry Christmas! I am so enjoying your snow and looking forward to seeing the renovations to the cabin. Love all the videos.
Another great Vlog. Tbh, I enjoy watching what you do when your visiting all the different places. For me, it's about you being outdoors and I find it very interesting to see how you fill the time. Merry Christmas to you and your fam jam. 🎄🎄
I think you should do things that make you happy. Don't worry about us. We're watching you and living your life with you. And I think it's awesome. You do have a cool set up. Enjoy it as much as you can to make it nice for you. A year young lady, I'm telling you. It's only once in a lifetime. People get to enjoy their life like you do. How is the day she starts getting wire? Ran through your building for your lights. And if you're able to bring a larger propane bottle out than last, you're longer than always helps. Don't fill like just because you forget something. And then you have to regroup and try to do it another way. Hey, that's what life is, and we enjoy watching your life. Try to bring your young lady out there as soon as you're can. And have her enjoy the cabin I know she will she has you
New subscriber here!!! Just came across your channel and I sure am happy I did! I live down south in the states; we dont get much snow down here, I pray for snow and cold weather every winter because I love it,there’s nothing more beautiful. Your videos and camera work are amazing,the landscapes are so crisp, clean, and beautiful!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family Jay,stay safe out there and keep the videos/ content coming!!!!!
I as an outdoor enthusiast and cook must say,"When you get down to cooking you put your ankle in it!" But you might want to carry homemade things like frozen cubes of chicken stock, liquid smoke, whole spices w/grinder and eggs cracked into an old stainless steel bottle. Saves space and makes food even more delicious.
No thanks for me just to much work and to cold good luck to you 😮
Love the variety of different videos. Not the same stuff every time. As for the hobo cabin I would go with shiplap walls to make it look and feel more homier. I would definitely build a garage or canopy for storage and a place to park the snowmobile to keep the snow off it.
I've got a Honda Eu2000i. When I saw you going to fire yours up I told the wife "That thing isn't going to start". Mine is the exact same way...as soon as the temp goes below zero, its a pain to get going! Needs a primer bulb for sure.
I think the canvas tent videos will always be our favorite, but any time you're out in the cold chopping wood, cooking greasy food and relaxing, its going to be entertaining. The effort you put into filming and editing and the eye you have for it is what really sets your videos apart I think.
My favorite thing about your channel is just watching you do you. Tent and cabin in extreme temps, or 2 weeks camping away from fires in the summer, I like it all.
You try, that's what I appreciate. You're not afraid to try. Like the bread. You are a give it a go and see what happens guy. Your skill at filming and your personality are why I stay.
Hey Jay. I love all of your content. I think that the most exciting potential will come from the new cabin. I think you will get to show some building skills that people will really like.
Propane: When you are done using propane, leave the stove on and turn the propane tank off. When the burners go out, turn them off. To reuse propane or changing a tank - like in this video; turn the valve on 1/4 to 1/2 a turn - you should hear the hiss. Then light the stove and turn the propane tank on slowly and fully. Leaving a tank turned on when not in use or turning it on quickly can bugger up a regulator.
Hello friend. keep update every day. really like this, see you in Bali
I really like the tent ❤but I’m really looking forward to see how the cabin is going to look after you start fixing it up.
I like both your tent shack and your new cabin. The view at the cabin is beautiful. I think once you remove alot of the unwanted items it might easier to work on the cabin. Looking forward to your next video.
Love your tent shack / cabin adventure videos! I look forwards to each one! Keep up the good work Jay! Best wishes to you and your family! Happy Holiday's! Cheers!
There is no way you could react or comment back to every comment. We're here, we are watching. This is good quality TH-cam right here.
Congrats Jay! I watch your videos over and over again! Please dont you ever stop! Greetings from Romania!
I love every little success you make along the way! So happy to watch you fulfil each and every milestone. Good on ya Jay. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas season with all your loved ones. Those meals always look so delicious, Yummy every time 🥰😉
A Christmas present from Jay... my husband just poked his head around the door and asked "are you off in Canada again??" He recognises the intro music... 😂. All this from my patio in summertime Tasmania. Best of both worlds. Merry Christmas Jay and to all my fellow armchair travellers.
Love all your content, I'm there for whatever it is you have to offer. I can't wait to see the transition you and Crystal do to the new cabin. Keep on truckin. ❤
Get yourself a nice pacific energy stove. Nice big glass front, burns great, heats super fast, has a fan in the back to move more air around.
A lighter oil than normal like 5w30 (i think the manual recommends 10w30) should help for winter starting that generator.
A bucket and an RV pump make a great system for the sink in the winter too.
From what I saw of that Small Stove, there is NO Baffle at all & I saw the flames & most of your heat fly straight up the Flue :(
I hate to be a whiner and your camera work is awesome but I sure would enjoy more of the scenery and could do without the chainsaw, generator, etc. You're in a genuine winter wonderland I'd love it if you shared more of the sights and sounds of nature! I heat my home with wood all cut with the big Silky, I don't even own a chainsaw or generator, they're too annoying. I certainly wouldn't fire one up out there!
Amazing video, as usuall! Only one thing: Why is the food preparing and especially the eating of the food so shortcutted? I think you had it a bit longer in older videos and I really enjoyed it.
When I saw a new video pop up I went and made myself a cup of coffee and set u up thrilled it was a nice longer watch. For someone who doesn't have a great sense of smell and taste u sure make the meals sound tasty, lol. Can't wait for the cabin to get upgrades/updates. Tent(s) or cabin I love watching. To me you're a better watch then the programs on TV, (even Yellowstone), lol. Keep up the great work and stay warm. ❤
Now that's an awesome compliment. Thanks so much Annette. Jay
