EXTREME FREEZING CAMPING. COLDEST NIGHT ALONE

Фильм және анимация

This is one of the coldest nights I have ever camped alone in the wilderness. -41 is absolutely freezing and dangerous. But I am well prepared and sheltered from the extreme cold in my canvas tent.
I have lots of wood for my wood stove. I have many players of clothes, food, tea, and a -40 sleeping bag.
I can feel the air hit my lungs when it is this cold. It almost takes my breath away. But there is something I absolutely love about breathing that bitter cold.
On this night an extreme cold warning sets in, making it magical.
I am in the remote wilderness and there is no one near me for miles around. But I have a first ad kit, and a way to contact home in case anything goes wrong.
Come with me for the adventure, and stay for the extreme cold.

    I am a born and raised in Montana guy. This brought back memories of camping with my Dad in a hunting cabin… no power… in the middle of winter…. when I was a kid. Cabin is in Big Timber, MT and surrounded by wilderness. An oil lamp and a big old cast iron “Garland”, wood burning cook stove were the amenities. The sound of the snow squeaking…. and the sound of the wood being split…. brought it all back. I think that when it gets that cold outside… the air almost smells different…. Anybody else find that to be true? At -30 F and colder…. on a windless night…. the still quietness is truly amazing…. only if you have a toasty, roaring fire. 😊 Thanks for the video 👍✨

    You mentioned a couple times how much you loved being out in the extreme cold (with the right gear and also inside a warm tent). I get it. Grew up in Michigan, and winter was probably my favorite time of year. The snow, the cold, the more the better! Something primal about the challenge of man against the elements, the solitude of winter, when no one else is out, the beauty of the forest covered in snow, the squeak and crunch of the snow below zero. The smoke rising above the cabin, the warm glow of the fire. Nice.

    As an Englishman, my go to sandwich is White or wholemeal bread, thick, lightly buttered with cornered beef from South America. This needs to extracted from the tin, and chilled so it is stable and able to be cut thin. Add a thin layer of corned beef to the buttered bread, add a light cheese slice (cheddar / swiss / Monteray / Gouda / etc) and then lettuce / cucumber and Branston pickles.

    When you were talking about the ground being freezing temps while the upper air was 80s and 90s, I started thinking it would be cool to have a thermal imaging camera, to capture that extreme difference! I'd love to see something like that! Maybe a shot from outside the tent as well, when it's really cold, and the tent is hot!

    Real cold is fine in small doses. I live in the Upper Midwest in the U.S. and we've had plenty of winters where the wind chill hits -45F, or about -43C and after about 5 minutes of 35+ mph winds blasting your face and exposed hands you begin to experience excruciating pain in those exposed areas.

    When I was working as a diamond driller up in Northern Ontario I lived in a tent similar to yours with 3 other guys. I worked 2 winters in freezing temperatures from November through to late March. From mid December through until the end of February the average day time temperature was around -25 degrees Celsius and night time temperatures were _40 to -45 degrees Celsius. We had lots of canned goods to go along with packages of frozen meats. Each of us took turns making meals and at the drill site we had a 45 gallon drum as our wood stove but had a stove similar to yours in the tent. At the drill site my average meal consisted of canned soup and canned meat with a couple of slices of bread. My favorite canned meat was spam and a can of beans and canned potatoes. I would fry up the potatoes add the beans and the can of spam. It was my favorite meal while at work. To change things up sometimes I would have salmon it came in cans like our soup cans so it made for a nice meal with canned potatoes that again I would fry up on that 45 gallon drum wood stove. I am retired now and I still enjoy my can of spam mixed with beans, canned potatoes but now I also add two eggs that I will make for breakfast now. It's actually quite good. After all spam is made of a piece of pork shoulder put raw into the can and is boiled in hot water until cooked and the result is what you get when open the can

    I live in England so rarely have to endure extreme cold so it's nice to see how you manage in such low temperatures. I'm what I would call a lazy cook - I often throw meat and veggies into the oven to cook like your dinner here, so easy and delicious - one thing I always do is add a peeled onion cut into quarters though. I love roasted onions, and for me they add so much flavour to everything I roast, so if you love your onions it's worth adding one or two to your dinner. I try to make extra veggies and especially onions, then fry them up in the morning and just add a couple of scrambled eggs and it ends up being a delicious breakfast and super easy. Just an idea, which you may already do I know, but just in case you don't lol xx

Before freeze up and before we could get into hunting & ice fishing (no electric) we almost had to depend on canned meat if we wanted meat. We had gone to Anchorage & stocked up on canned goods & those got shipped to us. The canned meat I remember the most was canned whole chickens! Horrible!

    On 20 February, 1980, a DNS officer and myself spent an unplanned night on the shore of Laoenel Lake, Saskatchewan. It's just north of the Churchill River, west of the Reindeer. The temperatures recorded within fifty kms were -40C to -42C. We were a pilot and former Canadian soldier, and a Resources Officer. Both trained and equipped (marginally) to survive a night without a preconstructed shelter in such conditions and at such temperatures. During the night, one of us made a small error in fire management that cost us our blue plastic tarp overhead shelter. We got through it, but I want to be very clear about what I'm saying here. These are great videos, and I enjoy them, but never doubt for a second that you're outside the wire. You're in a dynamically lethal environment. My first foray into cold weather survival was endured under the protection and tutelage of very experienced, serious people, not just videos on the Net.
