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.

You go alone? Love the cabin,an the way you think. Happy holidays,are you gonna get a tree? Stay safe & warm! ENJOY🎉

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.

Agree on the music love that tune!

Jay, totally up for anyplace you want to stay and show us. Tent shack, bear tent, doesn’t matter. We come back for you!

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.

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

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 - 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!

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

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

Good. Video😊

*1. EcoFlow Delta Pro 3.6 kW Solar Generator. 2. 4 x 400 Watt Solar Panels for your Roof Deck. 3. EcoFlow Smart Propane or Gasoline Generator. The Propane genny is plugged into the side of the Delta Pro and only comes on if the charge falls below the percentage of the internal battery which you can set. Normally, the Solar Panels will keep your solar genny charged up, but for those days or weeks when you're getting very little Sun, then the smart propane genny will kick on and charge up your Delta Pro. The smart propane genny will never come on unless there's not enough charging current coming in from your solar panels. There's no need to be running a noisy gas genny unless there's no other alternative.*

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.

Wow! Dancing with Northern Lights!!!

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.......

Hi Jay, can’t wait to see you start working on to reconstruct the cabin 😊

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.

@andyfunke9484

6 ай бұрын

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.

@nbco55

6 ай бұрын

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

I glad you are using your old intro music again because it fits better with your videos better than any other music 🎶

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😂.

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.

Hi Jay, I would like to comment you on your video's because for a long time I watch them all. I want you to know that you bring joy to my life with every video you post. Not to long ago I found out that I am quit ill and probably will not recover from that. It won't take my life but will leed me to a wheel chair. I was always a tough guy like you. Thinking in the snow in the Austrian Mountains.....ice fishing all the nice stuff. And now it's not possible for me anymore. A few surgeries are coming in the new year. and I hope they bring me something. But every time I look to your video's it brings me joy and pleasure because I am in that moment with you on the snowmobile. Every time you take me with on an adventure. And that I am very thankful of my friend. So keep them coming and I'll be with you every time. Happy Holidays and warm season Greetings from Holland Johnxxx

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.

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

I’m a new follower so each part of the channel I ❤. You appear to enjoy each part… the tents the shack and the cabin. Great videos and information.

The only thing I would do with the cabin is send me the directions.... 😂😂. Another Absolutely incredible video. Doesn't matter if it's the wall tent or the cabin the wife and I look forward to them.

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

Cabin is new place. Beautiful and interesting. Different approaches when ice road opens. Lot to do. Yeah some remodel work. make it yours. Curtains for summer light block. Tent shack is ok, only so much you can do there. Arrive get wood eat go to bed. Days are so short and you can't get out much. Some ice fishing with a insulated tent would be good. Add to it. You lakes in front yard. RB tent is good for one off weekends maybe when it's super bad out to test yourself. Always fun. Northern lights. Get an atv in there for running around this summer at house. small trailer. Stock pile some serious wood. Build a wood shed. Things you need. Take care Happy Holidays

Like the cabin I would move the tent closer to the cabin so that you have a extra room next to it.... I like this cabin camping maybe the hunting, fishing and more.😊

i love how u go out in the coldest cold when everyone else is even hiding their AWD from this weather. Nature beauty is daily if we see.

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!!!😮

Just by chance found you, and subbed. AWESOME VIDEO, thanks. Looking forward to more. Be safe!

As a new subscriber, and learning, though have camped, you have the Best equipment that most people can't afford and all the multiple hideouts. I will stick with the poor folk trying real life survival that don't own land. I am not jealous, just not wasting my time when trying to show people normal skills. You sold your soul, May God Bless you in this Christmas Season. Hope it was worth it.

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🤗

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.

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

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.

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.

WOW wooooo wat a kitchen it 2 8 23 today wat irony i cooked slab bacon for supper tonight tex mex cooking...and yesterday i cooked wat u did wit that hamber meat no potatoes cause i didnt have any but next time i will AWESOME video amigo ur a bless man of GOD lord keep u bless n safe also amen

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.

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!

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 love all the videos. The bear tents are my favorite. I would take the cabinet behind you to your left and move to connect to the others. Then build shelves to the corner. Need to have nothing blocking your breaker box. Oh... was that bacon you were eating? If so, man add you some lettuce, mater and mayo on that bread with that bacon and have yourself a Southern cuisine!! A BLT!!!

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

the drone footage at the end, god damn! love the cabin, dream of mine... i would pimp the hell out of the place and make it the perfect place to share memories. Well done!

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.

Great video Jay. I enjoy the cabin and the tent!! Keep them going!

I'll be honest, I am really hoping to stop swapping now for a while. It's been a lot. ha

I just found your channel recently, but it is great.... very entertaining ... I also do some camping in the Canadian woods in Ontario. I don't have electricity but I do have an old wood stove that was converted to use heating oil (diesel). I love the old thing and I use kerosene lamps. I am a 79 yr. old woman who camps alone but only in the summer. This old place that I inherited from my deceased husband & his family is a lot of maintenance & I am reaching the point where I can't do everything I would love to do with it. So I am just going to enjoy what remains of my time with it the way it is. I drive up every summer from Iowa and there is nowhere else I would rather be. Thanks for giving me a taste of what it would be like in the winter. The big chore for the summer of 2024 will be the repair of the outhouse....not what I am looking forward to but it is definitely necessary. Happy Camping !

Jay, I too am one of the very early subs. It's been great enjoyment watching the progression of your skills!! I think we as early subs will always have a fondness for the tent, however, as one who has built, remodeled, renovated 10 houses (with my wife of 29 years) and we are just now finishing our 11th - an old pole barn with a lean to and made it a house - i am looking forward to watching how the renovation of your cabin unfolds. Yes, of course, I still look forward to the tents but I am excited for you and your girlfriend and how this cabin project will develop. As always I so enjoyed this video!! Bridge

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on Jay. May the lord bless and protect you at the cabin

Apologies for not subbing earlier. I'm out of The Peg, travelling east, but missing winter. Thanks for sharing your Dash!!! - Davy.

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

Love the cabin videos. Looking forward to seeing the renovations.

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.

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

Great job. Nice to see the cabin. The missus says you need an onlyfans, but leave your hat on 👍 😅

So glad to see those curtains go. Mayb you need 4 curtains instead. Krystal should be able to give the cabin a touch of elegance 😂

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.

Hello friend. keep update every day. really like this, see you in Bali

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

Welcome to the channel!

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.

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.

That breakfast was right for the cold weather 💪🏼

I get a bread machine they work great. I love what you cook looks great. You and I eat alike warms the belly. Cheers Jay

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.

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!

hello thank you for another awesome video i always look forward to your video aND TO ME IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING I ALWAYS ENJOY THEM SO MUCH THANK YOU FROM aUSTRALIA

Canvas painters dropcloths would be a great window curtain idea. There is a lot of fabric in the big ones and they are relatively cheap yard for yard. They would also offer some insulation property too.

Seeing the grey plywood floor reminds me of our camp. I haven't seen -23 in quite a while now. I am almost 63 and the cold is harder to deal with. I used to do what you do all the time. I spent many trips at our camp in the winter. About your different choice of tent...camp...etc....it's all good to watch. The next time your propane bottle is iced up, pour hot water on the valve. Hot water can work miracles. Many years ago my dad and I got nearly stranded at our camp in late November. It went down to -20. I had to put my 6.5 hp outboard next to the sauna wood stove to defrost it. The ice was 10cm thick by morning. It was a crazy boat ride across the lake busting ice.

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!

always good to have some lock-deicer or methionyl handy for frozen propane stuff

Hello from Montana, I say the same thing about where you are. Hope to some day visit it.

Love watching your videos, at first I thoought you were crazy, then I realized, you are Canadian, lol, love the adventures, thanks

amazed at the length of time the doors/flaps are left open to bitter cold,, and temp duck tape needed to seal the window around the propane line....

oh the northern lights when they dance across the sky it must be awesome to be there thank you Jay

I’m freezing just watching Jay. Wow the snow is deep. Takes longer to warm the cabin than the tents that’s for sure. Well here we are off on an adventure with Jay in the frozen north. All warm and cozy while you’re freezing yer arse off. I like the warm weather videos but these are my favorites. I knew you weren’t to far from the wall tent. Until the summer you could get a set of sheets to use for curtains, of a dark color. I love all of your videos Jay.

Nice man cave. Definitely great for hunting or fishing, depending on how far away you are from the water.

First time watching so glad you get the opportunity to get away from it all to spend weekend at the cottage nothing like it to energise you.

The snow is so so beautiful, like your video 🌨️🌨️🎄🤩

If you had a piece of sheet metal, and tin shears, you could cut needed stovepipe pieces from that. I enjoy other outdoor, camping, cooking eating channels. Whatever you're doing, it's working, you have 172,000 subscribers ! Wow !!

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!

Jay, thank you for sharing your time. I love the wall tent and cabin videos. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and happy holiday.

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.
