2 DAYS IN THE MAN CABIN. CRAZY ICE ROADS

[@bettyjanssen589]

Glad to hear you're not taking a break from your channel!!! Love watching you cook WITHOUT THE KETCHUP!!

[@SJC49]

Ronald Regan once said ketchup supplied with school lunches was a ‘vegetable’. But then he was an American President so what did he know? Kidding aside, he wasn’t too bad of a guy!🥴🇨🇦

[@kathiesalamacha895]

As long as it’s Heinz

[@shortsweettoo]

Watched your winter videos almost from the beginning. Once again, I will miss them. With your cabin, now looking forward to your new summer videos. Sure they will be fun.

[@metalreactor]

Hi Jay, love the channel and am a subscriber. Also x-Goose Bay resident as well, dad was posted there in the early 70’s so remember when there was the CAF, RAF and USAF all up there on the base. Anyway, I have the same propane stove as you in my RV. Your pilot lite won’t ignite because there is air in the lines when you first hook up the propane bottle. All you need to do is turn on a burner and hold your bbq lighter to it. Once the burner lights you have purged all the air out of the lines. Turn off the burner and your pilot lights will lite right away. Hope that makes it easier to get them going. Take care old son!

[@jaylegere]

Great tip. I will try this. Thanks so much. And... nice to hear from a former base boy. I lived on base in the 80's.

[@richardthomas1743]

Nice video Jay , it is sad to see winter adventure come to and end. But I look forward to seeing your upcoming trips back with Crystal and Puffy!

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

The aerial footage of the cabin was absolutely amazing and the Northern lights were fantastic thanks Jay for a great video enjoyed watching thanks see you back out again at the Cabin or the winter camp.

[@CarolineButler-h2t]

Another brilliant video Jay. Love from Caroline Butler from UK ❤

[@ReneVandyk]

Hi Jay can’t believe that the ice 🧊 Melting on the lakes it’s a gorgeous Beautiful Awesome Scenery 😊

[@coolbreeze45]

I'm really enjoying your KZbin channel. Thanks for being so down to earth. From South Africa. Enjoy

[@RebeccaFox-yg1xe]

Enjoyed all the vids! One of my favorite channels. Seen so many where the video makers don’t talk to us viewers, makes it very boring. Love your interaction with all of us! Stay safe and warm…big shout out to Puffy and Crystal. :)

[@SJC49]

Agree about the communication with the viewers. It’s respectful!😍

[@theturkeyhead57]

He’s humble and I feel like he’s talking only to me!

[@TerryFalan]

Nice to see you again on this Monday morning! Will be great to see you hit the 2 hundred thousand subscriber mark! It’s coming! Have a great week!

[@lorrainemacleod5953]

Great video Jay, I put a big truck mud flap on the trailer hitch of my sled, keeps snow off fairly well! Dave🇨🇦

[@michaelcharvat4843]

Jay, a suggestion to help your fishing. Drag a small dead tree out on the ice. Mark where it is. When the ice melts, obviously it will fall to the lake bed. Instant structure for bait fish AND predator fish. Happy fishing.

[@boblevesque650]

I have enjoyed your channel. Some channels start off strong then start posting every other week, then once a month. They enjoy the money, but can’t do the work. Those channels I drop. One young man just bought himself a van, his dad was so proud of him, now his videos are scarce. He’s gone. So keep posting and we’ll keep watching.

[@TreeLovinAdventures]

Man. I love watching your channel. You were sitting there saying that you NEED TO build a outhouse, you NEED TO build a wood shed, etc, and I'm sitting here jealously thinking you GET TO build a outhouse, you GET TO build a woodshed. Keep up the amazing work brother.

[@jaylegere]

Ha. I'd be thinking the same thing if it were you saying it.

[@SJC49]

Lists with lots of things just makes your channel more interesting as we wait to see the next project!😍🇨🇦

[@markbucher7609]

Very cool Jay! I stumbled upon your channel and have enjoyed your videos. I love the north country, nothing like it.

[@austinsandi76]

I am such a fan that I ordered some cool merchandise from your store! Just got myself a water bottle. It arrived today! T-shirt coming soon, I hope. I hope this helps support your channel. I'm looking forward to your next video, Jay! Thanks for all you do!

[@jorunnpedersen817]

Have a Nice spring. The spring is here in Norway. 🌹🌞

[@williammeek7218]

Summer time at the cabin can’t come to soon. Love the winter days and the night lights. Keep the content coming Jay.

[@famasmaster2000]

I cant believe the warmer weather is here and another winter is over. Great content Jay, always a great production 👍

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Always look forward to your Mon uploads Jay. I'm sure anything you come up with during the loooooooong summer months will appease us fans😅. Hate to say goodbye to winter. No one likes to be cold but I like hot weather even less. Tyfs God bless you

[@elizabethmckenzie6977]

When I was a kid, I am 77 now, we called these flies cluster flies. It was a common problem in the old farm houses. In the fall these flies come in and stay dormant till spring, then they emurge

[@burkena]

Cluster flies ALSOHatch if you heat a cabin from a cold start also.. keep vacuum them up.. they will not lay eggs use glue boards.. Big advantage

[@theturkeyhead57]

You do a great job with the videos! And what I like is you’re humble. If you don’t know how to do something or it’s the first time, you let us know about it. Other guys edit out that stuff. Beautiful location and brilliant camera shots! Can’t wait until the next video and absolutely looking forward to next Winter! Be safe my friend! 😎

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes Jay you wanted a project you have one! That will keep you busy when the ice goes out :) lots of plans in the works, lumber covered nice hopefully bear don't tip it over, always good grub !

[@Entropy-booster]

I’ve enjoyed the cabin videos and the repairs you’ve been making. I look forward to more of these and the expansion. My wife joins me when your puppy is included. It’s a beautiful area by the lake. Also, I wish I could eat like that 😊 Thanks for the videos.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Kevin

[@pkharper3525]

Hey Jay can’t wait to see how you do the extension on the cabin. I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning, from you learning to run a chain saw, figuring out how to build a floor and frame for the tent and now to the cabin. It just goes to prove once you put your mind to something nothing is impossible, way to go. Stay safe till next time, and to answer your question I’ve always called them house flys.

[@jaylegere]

You definitely have been around from the beginning, PK. I'm glad you are still here. Jay.

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

We love and enjoy your shows Jay!!

[@ktybearktybear7403]

Jay, your videos are so good to watch, and seeing you do up the cabin is really inspiring. Will be waiting for every post!

[@dennisbagatin4480]

The drone pics are awesome love your cabin 👌✌️

[@jbtallullah7009]

Winter ends and then that lag before the next season. I know how you feel. Already planning our next expedition. Seems like forever, but always comes sooner than you expect. Keep up the good work.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them Jay. May the lord bless and protect you Jay and working on the cabin and ice melting

[@SJC49]

Really appreciate seeing a clean, organized site!😍🇨🇦

[@prestongilbert4199]

Love the northern lights and the cabin. Thanks for the video.

[@geroldknoebel3836]

I remember very well, I was in Brazil in Manos, we repaired a power plant boiler, got the order for a new boiler system for the turbines and power distribution at the output of the power plant. It was in February, at the end of the seventies. In the Quebec region there was a pipe rupture in a power station and the former English service company Hangkok Wilkok went on strike. We often had 40°C in Manaos, when we landed in Montral it was almost 40°C below zero. To Montreal by cab, nice and warm, but only because we changed our clothes at the airport in Montreal. At the hotel in Quebec, a good half bottle of cognac, a hot bath and then a great steak. The job done in a few days and back to the warmth. Almost 50 years ago, where has the time gone? It makes you think, Jay - soak it all up - you'll remember it and always remember it. - Greetings from Frankfurt. Gerold

[@kellymckenzie8172]

Absolutely love going on this learning journey with you! Look forward to watching every episode it’s a beautiful area. Thank you❤

[@joekasperek1086]

Good season bud, see ya when we see you be safe ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🌞

[@sohovulture87]

Oi, you've been working out haven't you, you old pirate? The arms man! Good to see you looking so healthy. Full of anticipation regarding improvement works this spring and summer, Jay! All the best from the UK (and I was eating steak at the same time as watching you do the same 😁)

[@rlabarge12]

Thank you so much for your videos.See you next Winter.❤

[@Bruins8851]

Thanks Jay for another great season. It was a blast and lots of fun watching you transform the cabin and making it your own. Maybe while you wait to return do some of your cooking recipes from home for the channel LOL. See you really soon!

[@flipwarrior]

I’m glad you will be back soon, but it definitely is sad that the snow and ice are melting. I love Winter!

[@joanpodmjerski9330]

Glad to hear from you again.👍👍👍👍👍👍🤛👊😁😄😃😀😉🫠🙃🙂

[@jerryvincent8402]

Looking foward to your next trip to the cabin. God bless you and stay safe.

[@soniayoung7531]

Heyy Jay winter is leaving everything is melting, your winter videos were awesome, looking forward to your other adventures, and before you know it winter will be here again stay safe

[@Slay61301]

Enjoying the channel for a few years now. Love the content and I appreciate you giving us a look inside your life in the bush!

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Goooooood morning Jay and thumbs UP! I hope that everybody has an awesome day!!

[@NovaScotiaSouthShore]

You have one of the best channels Jay. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Duckwinger

[@rafaelparra5709]

Your "I need to do..." list is quite large 🙂 but for me is going to be interesting to follow You through out the development of rebuild your cabin 😊. Until next video stay safe and healthy Sir 😃👋👋🙏🙏🕊️🕊️

[@jayolson578]

Invest in a chainsaw mill Jay. Harvest the dead standing to help with fire prevention and use those logs to make lumber for future projects. I bought one a couple years ago and it paid for itself in two trees worth of lumber. Build the shed big enough to hold your snow machine and a 4 wheeler. With a 4 wheeler you can harvest logs during the summer on your island/peninsula.

[@joseethibodeau7632]

Thank you Jay, looking forward to see the next improvements on the cabin. Have a nice spring!

[@johnmeloche6569]

Looking forward to your future projects and enjoy your new cabin

[@ericstoever9577]

Welcome to Spring! Thank you for another fine video.

[@kaboom-zf2bl]

yes an outhouse is always a good thing to have ... I suggest making a wood shed storage shed work shed combo to start .. then you can use an alskan mill to make more lumber as needed from cut trees ... you store your firewood and stuff to be used for building ... and your tools ... all close to where they get used most ... and finally add on the crapper and poof you can get a load off and pick up a load for the fire place and even do work in the same spot ... essentially just make a pole barn style wood cover add a shed on the end for tools and working in cooler weather with a hot tent stove ... for cooking and warmth ... and slap a composting toilet on the back side for natures call .... with that done your cabin renovations then become easier as the work place is setup already and it's close by the cabin ... make the shed large enough to park the snowmobile inside as well ... then in winter when it is cold you can keep the hot tent stove going on low overnight so the machines stay warm all night in the freeing temps ... this also makes a great place to put the generator setup out of the way and close to everything also ... and eve lets you slap a bunch of solar panels on the work shed roof to keep your power station recharging as needed ... also the work shed area is a great place to make log benches for sitting people at around a bonfire ... and the benches double as sawhorses for working on as well .;) keep your sawdust ... aside from great fire starter it is also great for laying in wet pits to backfill and rot down into soil ... and it also grips great in mud ...

[@shawnelliott2129]

Looking forward to many more excellent vids !!! Love this channel! Much respect ✌️👊

[@KnightWind1]

Love watching your channel Jay keep it up !

[@deanmartin9358]

Hello Jay so winter is coming an end and your next projects begin i am looking forward to those im youll do well and will able to enjoy the fruit of your labours good luck and enjoy the weekend

[@TinaBlackwood]

Another awesome video…… I actually love them all.

[@Ispinwool]

Hi Jay. Love watching your channel. What about prefabricated or modular rooms kits? You pick the size and materials and they might be able to deliver to your cabin. But you need to prepare the foundation where you want to put the storage shed, outhouse, adding room, etc.

[@davespoemsandsongs9497]

Jay, I can't wait for you to come back thanks my friend all the videos you have put out it was fun

[@walterlamb4756]

Outstanding Jay! You have come a long way with your skills!! It’s always interesting to see you tackle something that you haven’t done before! I’m so impressed with the progress you’ve made with the camp. I also think it’s more Crystal’s style of winter camping than the tent. She’s a great companion, and provides some great comfort while there. Keep up the great work, and don’t ever feel you can’t ask for some advice!! Can’t wait for your next project to begin!!!

[@bbqboy_qc]

In love with with this camo tarp ❤❤❤

[@Stooner72]

I sure do miss the tent vids, Jay! Hope we'll see a few next winter? I do like these as well though, so keep em coming!

[@lpschick7237]

I KNEW IT. You are breaking up with us!!!! Jk…..I was referring to your ice break up. You have to be careful with a fur baby. But my Dad use to put decon under the main floor of our cabin to help keep mice out. There are also trap where you can put the Devon inside & they can crawl in there & eat the Devon but your pet can not. They are sneaky little things & don’t care what they destroy to make a nest. Maybe until you can get back out to the cabin you can share a little of what life is like on grid. Maybe come up with plans on what all you plant to do once you get back out there. Make up a list & come up with a draft of how & where you will put all of it. Then when the time comes you got it all planned out. Stay safe!

[@Vals-2013]

I would have screamed so loud and run at the mouse sighting they scare me to death along with snakes I loved your reaction 😂🇨🇦

[@proy2241]

You know what would go good with that delicious steak and onions? Fried morel mushrooms picked from the land. I really enjoy following your adventures. Brings me back to when I lived there .

[@geoffrippon5477]

Thanks Jay, really enjoy the content and ketchup is fine for me 😂

[@jaylegere]

Wow. This is the biggest donation toward the channel to date. Thanks so much, Geoff, for supporting the channel. Jay

[@markjob6354]

*What you did this episode really left me scratching my head. I think you made a really poor decision taking your Skidoo out on the melting ice. Every year, around this time, we see news reports of Winter riders falling through the ice and their severely decomposed bodies are not found until months later by some sports fisherman. I am glad you made it alright to your cabin.*

[@janaf3813]

You are doing great on the cabin. List are wonderful to have. During summer, I am sure you can get items knocked off your list. I am so looking forward to them!

[@offshack]

The flies you have in the cabin are a specific type of fly called cluster flies - you'll notice a difference when you look at them their wings sit atop each other and they are bigger (9-10mm) - a "house fly" has wings at a V, similar to a deer fly but small - only 5-6mm. Cluster flies over-winter in the walls and attics of cabins and houses here in the north and come out on warm days in the spring and fall - they live in the dirt outside during the summer. The best thing to do about them is fly strips / fly paper hung in every window.

[@jaylegere]

Interesting

[@peggykellar121]

Can’t believe winter is done, gosh that was fast! Looking forward to spring/summer to see what you do to the cabin! Always look forward to Monday videos! Wish more would subscribe…..you’re definitely my favorite channel to watch!

[@burntheobedient4473]

JAY! Pro chef tip. Take your steak out of the fridge and let it get to room temperature, THEN season it, THEN cook it. Itll be SOOOOO much better.

[@keepingj]

Hey Jay. I enjoy all of your videos. I have the same stove as you at my cabin (outside of Goose Bay). The propane tank is about 15 feet away from the stove. When I try to light it, it takes a long time for the pilot to light, so what I do it turn a burner on and light that first. It gets the propane through the lines quick, and then I light the 2 top pilots and oven pilot. This may or may not be your issue, but hopefully it is.

[@jaylegere]

Good tip

[@cindymayo5700]

Enjoying your videos!! Thanks!

[@katedee5890]

See ya on the other side of winter, Jay. 😎🌞 Stay safe.

[@rafaeldibernardo301]

Hi Jay. Thanks for another great video. I’ve watched a lot of these type of videos but yours is the best! Keep up the good work.!

[@susanford1598]

I absolutely love this, thank you for sharing your adventures with us all. I personally have never seen snow in real life so this has been amazing to watch

[@Phscydin]

Always enjoy your videos!! The cabin is a great addition to the channel and no doubt, a most excellent source of enjoyment for yourself! Just a possible idea for your siding maybe board and batten... Possibly charred with propane torch. Helps to preserve it and makes if more resistant to bugs and rodents. I'm sure you'll find a great solution that works for you and we'll all be there to watch you figure it out. Cheers!!!

[@navaltroll5106]

Thanks for keeping us posted on you cabin adventure. Till the next one, stay safe.

[@indawoods9767]

Here in Newfoundland where I'm from we call those flies blue arse flies. Lol. Love your videos Jay. Keep em comin.

[@jaylegere]

Lol. Good name

[@timsheridan3987]

Always enjoy the northern lights never seen them in person on my bucket list keep up the work on the cabin you are learning and progressing with construction skills looking forward to the next one

[@katharinebrain3276]

Just great Jay - the best & most interesting channel!

[@jaylegere]

Wow, thanks!

[@lynettescott682]

Going to miss you but I can't wait to see how everything turns out when you get started on the rebuild of everything that you need to do blessings to you 🙏😊

[@glennpurchase807]

Sad to see the winter ending. Love your channel. Could do without the mice. Lol. Thanks man.

[@maxramsay4006]

My father in law has a large stash of wood like you have. He ratchet straps the boards together to hold them tight and prevent warping. They seem to store very well that way.

[@kevinaunger3092]

love your channel i watch you every week in thunder bay the show is all gone i am looking forward of more of your cabin

[@jaylegere]

Thanks, Kevin. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel.

[@MLSPlatforms]

You can add the wood shed and storage shed attached to the cabin ! You say the lumber of 1 wall by attaching it , it gives you access to your wood without going outside . Also look into a Chinese Diesel heater for backup heat. They are cheap and run 20 hours in 1 gallon of diesel.

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Great video as always I all look forward to you seeing your videos ❤❤❤❤

[@claudetteraymond8710]

Get a pipe filter to clean out the lines because spider webs will prevent the gas from flowing threw. Our bush camp was hard to get to so we painted our plywood to seal all around the sheets. Even when doing the floors. It protects even our 2x4's 2x6' seal it all before bring to camp

[@abiosis007]

Thank you for sharing your story again. Can’t wait to see whats next

[@MUDDRAGGERRC]

Great video as always, I miss your tent and outdoor cooking videos

[@RobGriffiths]

I do like your new chatty intros :) Can't wait to see how the cabin develops.

[@jaylegere]

Glad you like them! Some people hate talking, others love it.

[@lesliewilliams3386]

Jay really enjoy your videos!!

[@hansbehrmann8152]

Ah yes ---the spring thaw otherwise known as "Breakup" or in the fall "Freeze up" in northern areas of Canada.. Jay does anyone have an airboat you could use or a small hovercraft ? In the Kenora area of Ontario they are used during breakup and freeze up quite a bit to get to different remote communities and remote homesteads and they work well, until Snowmobiles, ATV's or vehicles can travel or boats . The ice roads there once they started to go went really quick depending if they went across rivers or lakes.

[@valdemarmikkelsen9830]

Love your videos. Greetings from the Faroe Islands, but lives in Norway.🙂

[@donaldmartz7256]

Enjoy you sharing your adventures.

[@markh2615]

Great stuff again Jay , we call the blue bottles 🤷‍♂️👏

[@andrewb9590]

Must be hard to wait through the time when there’s too much ice for the boat, but not enough for the snowmobile. What’s going on with the canvas tent?

[@DebDeBoop]

Another great video! Been subscribed since I found this channel and I look forward to the new videos! Can’t wait to see what is on next week! See you then.

[@maltcrispy]

we're all big tough outdoorsmen until we see a mouse or a rat! lol. Great vids, love watching and looking forward to the coming builds and progress!

[@jasonmcintosh2632]

Man, when I'm stuck in my house in Dallas and can't get out into the woods, your videos are a lifesaver. Thank you so much.

[@peperetuque7744]

love your camp real quiet and nice place to relax
