9 MONTHS IN A CABIN

This is the story of my first year in my cabin in Canada's Northwest Territories. We bought this cabin when it needed a lot of work. And that's why we bought it. I love a good project and this cabin will give me years of work. I love that this cabin is far from home. It's nice and remote and it sits on a big beautiful lake with lots of fish. This is just the beginning. Enjoy this diary of the first year.

[@dougkaylor2528]

All GREAT INPROVEMENTS Jay, just think of all the FUN & HARD work you have put into this cabin and your life skills. good job and thanks for letting us come along. you need a sign out front that says JAY'S PLACE !!!

[@lindadonahue9279]

Great to see from the beginning. I have seen all the episodes, but still enjoyed this so much. I may watch again!

[@ld200A]

This video was awesome. So glad you and Crystal said YES to the cabin.

[@donaldplohg9587]

A Great trip down Memory Lane. Thanks for taking me along Jay. Stay Safe and Have Fun.

[@richardoreilly7611]

well done Jay thats an amazing review of your first year at the cabin,keep up the hard work, really looking forward to all your new projects coming down the line. Stay safe.

[@chrisross5588]

I have loved following this adventure with you!

[@DoreenGregory-sj3df]

Hi Jay. Thanks for the recap. We truly have a beautiful country. Let’s all hope and pray that we don’t have a fire season like last year. We all have to take care of Mother Earth!!!! More rain please….

[@jaylegere]

I'm hoping for a smoke-free summer. Thanks for watching and commenting. Jay

[@rogerquenault7207]

I always hit the like even before the video starts as I know no matter what it is it will be interesting and it was a nice to look back on what you have done, just have to love that very energetic and excited Puffy we definitely need to see more of Puffy and Crystal at the cabin.

Every human needs this experience to understand what this does to the soul

[@hoosiernick]

Love the rehashing and the background music in the key of boing flat.

[@dsmith3239]

Great recap video of the cabin since you first looked at it in 2023, Jay. Have watched you since the beginning and despite all of the criticism and negative comments, you persisted and stayed at it. Looks good on you buddy. Keep at it.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks D. Loving the cabin life. Jay

[@leonardcrespin6476]

great video Jay, always looking forward to another journey with you. thanks for bringing us along and keep living the dream brother.

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

I'm enjoying your adventures videos at the Cabin and the tent thanks Jay for sharing your adventures on video cheers Jay see you on the next adventure video 😊

[@sohovulture87]

Is it really only 9 months since you both bought the cabin? Seems much longer, but just goes to show how much you've managed to achieve in that time! Not least in entertaining all of us and thanks for that Jay. As always, all the best from the UK

[@rhondashinn4429]

Great video! I've never been to Canada but this sure makes me want to see the NWT. It's absolutly beautiful! And I love that you bring Puffy with you to enjoy the cabin and nature. Looking forward to the next one!

[@FixitFrank]

Man, I remember when you just had a beatup tent on pallets, would split wood when you got there and had editing worse than mine. Now you're all proper and its awesome. I'm so happy for you and thanks for sharing this with us as you almost turn over 200K subs. You inspire me man. Thanks.

[@jaylegere]

Awesome comment. Thanks so much, Frank.

[@SavageNitemare]

I absolutely love watching this channel grow. Love your content, takes me places I will never be able to go... I live in the deep South USA and I have only seen snow a handful of times in my lifetime of 50 years... keep up the great work...

[@claudetteraymond8710]

Please help JAY AND CRYSTAL with more likes. this is going to be a great journey from SSM Ontario Canada

[@jamesperkins5075]

Very nice job editing it together .It was a nicely put together . Thanks for sharing.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks James

[@WheelchairCharlie]

Love the Canadian tire bucket. I purchased one last summer as a souvenir. The store finder says it’s only 60 miles away from me. Unfortunately, it’s a 4 1/2 hour trip due to Lake Erie. It was worth it love Canada.

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

You’ve come a long way everything looks great can’t wait to see what you’re have in store for the cabin this coming summer!!!

[@garycorpuz6264]

Your video cinematics are getting better and better. Good job and keep the awesome videos coming. We appreciate your hard work. Thanks Jay..

[@jaylegere]

Thanks so much for this comment. Jay

[@stevesokolowski9556]

Jay this is fantastic. I only found your channel a few months ago. It's very cathartic. Don't worry about any negative comments. Those people likely don't leave their front step let alone try camping at a provincial park nonetheless. It's amazing watching you learn and grow. Cheers all around and good luck from Ottawa my friend

[@Stooner72]

I regularly go back and watch old videos of yours, some I've watched three and four times. Great job on editing this one together and look forward to what you future vids will bring us. Take care Jay.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks so much for supporting the channel, Stooner. I really appreciate it. Jay

[@TD-se5lc]

Great recap video. You are a regular guy learning as you go. Thanks for taking your time to entertain this regular guy named Tracy from Arkansas who lives in Colorado. Cheers Jay !!!

[@jaylegere]

Right on, Tracy. Here's to the regular guys. Jay

[@KimandFrank]

With old age sometimes memory fogginess makes watching these beautiful moments you had fun. It's amazing all the work you have done. BYW because of you I am addicted to Flakies You made them look 👀so good... and they are Great video❣

[@richdubbayou]

Question for you Jay, at 8:56 after you've turned on the generator, there's a glowing light on the side of the cabin by the ladder on the ground. What is that ? It doesn't appear to be a reflection from your headlamp. Oh and I like the cabin adventure so far. I loved it the best when you get to share it with your child. It's worth every scratch and scar you get from working on the cabin.

[@glennpurchase807]

A great review of your history with this cabin. Thanks my friend.

[@jaylegere]

My pleasure Glenn.

[@kp4185]

This recap is so important! I’d only started watching halfway through the winter so it’s fun to see the project from the beginning!

[@bbqboy_qc]

To me…The absolute highlight of 2024 is without a doubt the self fishing fish that got out the lake through the ice hole by itself 😂😂😂

[@jaylegere]

Haha. I agree

[@daughterofgodcarolv8411]

I'm so proud of you Jay! Dreaming and waiting for your cabin from the canvas tent and now here you are! What an amazing job you've done! I'm so happy to be along for the journey!

[@paulstead2153]

[@jaylegere]

Awesome. I'm glad you liked it. Jay

[@williammeek7218]

You surely got a lot done over the last 9 months Jay. The cabin is only 4 or 5 (?) steps from finished. A vast improvement from the beginning.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks William

[@goober9983]

So much enthusiasm when you're fishing. I can go fishing with you anytime, thanks a lot 😊

[@stuckinmopro8533]

[@suzannesnow7485]

Great review! History in the making! ❤

[@timcurry192]

Oh, man, I'd forgotten how scary that ladder to the loft was. What a huge improvement! The mortal battle between Jay and the lake's fish has just begun!

[@jaylegere]

Ha. Let it begin

Thanks so much, Brenda. Jay

[@sandratweedale2579]

Oh J I’m sorry for people who are rude. Today rudeness is the new norm. I enjoy a good recap. And the best part is if I don’t want to watch it I don’t have to. Weird how that works. I certainly don’t need to be a whiner and complain about it. Love all your stuff

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for this comment, Sandra. Jay

[@sidneyevans2166]

One of the few I follow that relaxes me, I’m in Florida and would die to be able to camp like you do. Keep up the amazing work!

Love all the meals you cook and yes I try them and are so good. Stay safe and hi to the family and see you really soon

About pike...years ago my dad and I were fishing at our camp. It was summer. I reeled in my lure and brought across the boat. While I did this, the pike jumped right into the boat after my lure. My dad said...if I hadn't seen that, I would never believed it. Pike are nuts. I call em fresh water sharks 🦈
