2 DAYS ALONE IN THE COLD. FROST, FIRE, FROZEN

The trees are cracking. The cold is here and it's deep. The tent is a wonderful place to stay warm as the temperature drops. I spend time cutting trees and making a hanging roasted chicken in a barrel stove. I have a great sleep and then I make my way to another platform in the woods where I set up my RBM tent for the winter. There's also a brand-new stove that is absolutely awesome.

Jay great video. I would like to add a word of caution when doing beer can chicken. Beer cans and soft drink cans are lined with a plastic called Bisphenol A to prevent the liquid inside from corroding the aluminum, when heated this product breaks down and will enter the liquid that is in the can, then when the liquid vaporizes goes into the atmosphere. It is a known substance that can cause many health issues and from what I understand ( I may be wrong) remains in organs such as the prostate ,liver and kidneys where it can cause trouble. Also the outside of the can has a coating of plastic and/or a type epoxy lacquer or polymer. Again when heated these substance break down and go into the atmosphere. So if your chicken is surrounding the can those substances will go into the chicken that you consume, I would like to suggest obtaining a stainless steel cup or container that can be used to put the liquid into . These cups generally are not coated and can be used for a very long period of time and can take a serious amount of heat.

[@oathtaker2768]

I forgot about that and thank you for reminding us.

[@deanmartin9358]

i didnt know that about cans glad i watched Jays channel

[@PatMcGuriman]

He doesn't care, he is of the Elite. It's the normal folk that have to be concerned. Funny thing is the Chem Trail Spraying effect them as well. Where is this free Land you can just trade? Wake up People

yep ..just saw a video on the plastic lining soft drinks and beer cans be safe :)

The mini woodstove came with a foldable heat shield! So cool.

[@Anatoliybumburyak]

Hi great video! To answer your question, yes you can die from just eating rabbit from protein poisoning. Protein poisoning is when the body takes in too much protein without enough fat or carbohydrates (which can happen by consuming any lean meat). The term “rabbit starvation” or “mal de caribou” were derived from the description of consuming too much lean meat without a sufficient amount of fat or carbohydrates.

[@Starkraven100]

You are correct...Rabbit, particularly Snowshoe Hare are a very lean meat. Good protein but very low in fat. Can help keep you alive for awhile but not over the long haul. They are indeed pretty tasty.

[@davidgates1122]

Same thing can be said for white tail deer. A grey squirrel has virtually no nutritional value. Some bear meet every once in a while is what you need.

[@jaylegere]

love getting answers to the question. Thanks so much. Jay

[@jaylegere]

Very interesting. Jay

[@BartBuzz]

What an awesome wintry video! As I sat in my warm den watching, I could actually feel the cold. I really enjoy living vicariously through your adventures.

I said almost the same thing lols "vicariously"

The KZbin Channels that I was used to watching on Saturdays were constant as the Northern Star up until a month ago for one and last Saturday and it dropped to every 2 weeks.I found your channel at the last minute before bed time and I'm glad I stayed up as I tend to watch back vids on Saturday so thank you for entertaining us.

I feel so cozy watching your cold adventures. The colder the better, and your cooking just adds to it, the fact you put so much effort into to it, i love it.

Rabbit is delicious! Recipe.. Brown rabbit in butter. In a crockpot put stewed and fire roasted tomatoes, 1 onion and sliced fresh mushrooms. Cook on low 7-8 hours. Serve over rice. Enjoy!!

No center pole? Would love to see some small game harvested and prepared with some veggies of some kind along with some potatoes. Great tent and like the new wood stove.

[@michaelmathers6739]

I had an off grid cabin with no running water and only heat was from a wood stove. The first rule was never leave the cabin with out a two day supply of firewood

[@Bawlswhet]

Awesome video, as always Jay. Just a tip with the beer can chicken that I find helpful... Punch holes around the outside of the can to help steam escape out the side walls of the can. It will spread the beer flavour better throughout the chicken. I haven't used one of those steamer things you're using, but when the can is directly in the butt of the chicken it makes a world of difference. Otherwise, all the beer steam goes out the top and through the neck of the chicken. Also, a nice wheat beer is great for beer can chicken :D

[@susansharpe7464]

Excellent tips. Might give it a try again. Used to make beer can chicken all the time, but it always just tasted like...well...roasted chicken.

[@jaylegere]

Awesome beer can tips. This was the first time I ever tried this, so the information is definitely welcome. Jay

[@Bawlswhet]

@@jaylegere Any time! I've also found that drinking all but maybe 2-3cm from the bottom helps too. That way it can boil quicker and steam for longer in there. too much beer left in the can and it just gets hot but doesn't boil enough by the time the bird is done. The earlier the beer boils, the better.

[@Stinger9516]

I always enjoy your tent videos! I prefer the long videos vs the shorter. Keep making great vids, stay safe, and hope everyone has great holiday!

[@billnichols9391]

You are right about "rabbit starvation". Rabbits provide protein but not enough fat, and several vitamins -- specifically A, D, E, and K -- require fat for their storage and utilization by the body. Although taste is subjective, I would like to point out that rabbit is a delicacy enjoyed commonly in much of the non-NorthAmerican world, especially Europe. It is a white meat much like chicken but has its own taste, much as turkey does, or pheasant. It is truly delicious when prepared properly. I encourage others to try it -- it is sometimes available in larger grocery stores.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for taking the time to answer that question. Very good information to have. Jay

Best beers in Canada came from the East Coast, until Quebec and Ontario caught up to them a little !!! While in Halifax my 'go to' was K.I.P.A. except when I wanted a slightly stronger beer. Then it was Ten Penny ale from Moosehead Brewing.

The double camping trip was unexpected! It was fun to see you go to two different tents in the same video. That stove with the little trees was cute. Oh, and that chicken looked amazing. I'm a little bummed that nobody's been able to answer your question about surviving on rabbit yet, but it was fun watching a couple of people squawk about it. Lol They didn't cry about you eating chicken, but oh, the poor bunnies! Lol

[@nikospapageorgiou57]

Dear J, enjoying your beautiful videos is not something new to me, however in all my years of outdoor cooking I have never seen a chicken being roasted this way. Not only was it a very big surprise, but you could say I was truly astounded... A beer can with added garlic, inside the chicken??? I really need to try that!!!
