COZY, ICY CABIN. FREEZING IN SNOW

This cabin is tucked away in the middle of the wilderness. It's surrounded by beautiful snowy trees and frozen lakes. In this video, I am getting more familiar with the cabin. I am making delicious meals and working on little projects that will help my snowmobile boggan. The setting is beautiful and winter is in full bloom.

Jay, I lost my dad right after Christmas last year (2022). One of the last things we did together while he and mom were visiting for Christmas was watch a bunch of your videos. My dad really enjoyed your content. It was too hard for me to watch your content until today. So I missed a year, but I look forward to catching up. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@SHerbeck91]

Sorry to hear about your loss @Unclejunior152 💐

[@JayBee1212]

Sorry for your loss.

My condolences for your loss, I lost my mom a few years back, I know how your feeling… prayers to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your Pop!!! Bridge

I can relate to your comment about getting inside the cabin where it's cold and it slowly warms up from the stove. I'm sure some who haven't experienced that wouldn't understand. I use to hike in the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate NY, USA at -40° F below zero. There's something about going from a freezing cabin to one that gets warm. Thomas Dutkiewicz Connecticut USA

I really loved reading this comment. Thanks, Capt D.J. Smith. Jay

[@jamesm875]

As a oldie retired Royal Navy veteran I enjoyed this comment and can completely agree in what you say.

[@bobdrago6965]

The mud room idea would an amazing addition.

[@lee.valley]

to be enclosed just enough, but surrounded by so much open space, is a gem of a find.!! 😮

[@jaylegere]

Definitely

[@billiehuskins8129]

That's exactly how I make. My French toast 🧇🥞🌭🍗

[@corki8792]

Great little starter!!! Food looked amazing! And somehow COFFEE in the morning tastes the best on a cabin porch!! Happy Trails!!!! 🌳 🌲💚🌲🌳

[@bjsmith1575]

So much planning, list making .. great that you live in the now.. warming cabin… every moment a treasure

[@go4lowcost652]

Jay, adding the mudroom or cold storage room it will help in keeping warm air inside the cabin. The sooner the better! Good luck.

[@user-dx8dt1wr9n]

Hi Jay , I think it's a wonderful idea about the extension, can't wait for you to start it. Love from Caroline Butler from UK. X❤

[@liddybird3608]

Yes! A great idea. I'm looking forward to everything you do to make improvements to this charming place.

[@scpatl4now]

So would closing the door...lol

[@HubertK28]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while. Cannot thank you enough. It may sound exaggerated, but your videos feel like small portions of sanity in an increasingly torn world. It is almost meditatively decelerating; I find it very grounding to witness what humans are essentially made for. Observing oneself and appreciating the beauty of how someone gets along with nature and finds happiness in it can be truly uplifting. Also reminds me of a quote from "Into the Wild": "And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions."

[@eman31683]

Love your videos Jay, and I appreciate you taking us along with you! Good idea for a mudroom/cold storage! That'd definitely be a good idea. Can't wait to continue seeing what you do with it

[@keart65]

I can say you have always worked hard J! I've been following you since you had the original big tent. Looking forward to watching what you and Crystal do with this cabin!

[@surrytobin6774]

Delighted to see the cabin in full swing.. Great to see your diet has deviated away from the processed meat . Great home cooking . Best !

[@harmonysprogress]

Love the idea of that front entryway!!!! 👍👍👍When we were putting up our 1850's log cabin/home in Northwest Wisconsin in 2018, it was -32F and I was outside on the table saw cutting trim boards... That was a bit chilly... LoL That entryway is a great winter project!! Bridge

[@lightshow10]

Here’s a tip for the generator. They don’t like starting in the cold if they don’t have the right weight oil in them. At least. They start easyer if you use the right weight oil for cold climates. If you check the manual for it, you will see a lower weight oil that should be used for cold temps. In this case I do believe it’s 5w-30. Also. If you add a little heat to your fuel to help take out any moisture, it will help with the starting. A few more things that could be causing the hard starting is it needing a new spark plug that is properly gaped. You can’t trust the gap from the factory. They are almost always off. Another posibility is the carb jets could be dirty. It might benefit from a carb cleaning. And lastly. Generators like the higher octagon fuel. So 93 that has no ethanol works best. If you don’t want to add some heat to your fuel. Oh. If you do add heat. Use the red bottle. Not the yellow.

[@ClassicalPlaylist13]

This video is amazing, thank you for creating such a wonderful thing. Whoever is reading this comment, I wish you success, health, love and happiness!

[@BartBuzz]

Freezing vicariously through your winter adventures! You have lots of work and fun projects ahead. French toast cooked on a wood stove in a cast iron skillet looked amazing. Looking forward to your next video...really soon!

[@hazell1593]

[@danieltporter959]

All the best to you and yours in 2024!

[@chiapagringa]

Can't wait to watch the renovations you have planned for the cabin.😊

It's great that you can finally get to the cabin on your sled!!

That meal cooking in the wood stove looked amazing! But man if I ate that at 11 o’clock I’d be up all night with heartburn lol great video 🇨🇦👍🏻

[@ML-rm3vk]

Entry room great idea it reduces the cold from the outside and critters safety

[@eskairdopatter]

Looking forward to seeing the transformation. May I suggest you show us a bit more of the cabin before you get started, maybe a quick tour with an idea of what you might do in each part of the cabin?

[@martadavidson3223]

Thanks for sharing..love the place❤

[@rickhancock2742]

Love the cabin videos. Use a light duty ratchet strap across the top of the sled to keep the boards from coming loose. The weight in sled usually pushed the sides apart and the plywood just falls out of the slots. A pool noodle cut in half on top of plywood helps with the cover chafing also. Have a great one. Cant wait for the next one.

[@stevenbenjamin818]

Awesome job where is this?

[@deirdreanderson7620]

Love you are the cabin. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to do..

[@rudyvg]

I moved from Belgium to the other side of the world, to tropical Thailand, and i like to follow your adventures in the freezing cold while it's here 35° Celsius/95°fahrenheit... greetings from Pattaya Thailand... Rudy.

[@tedhockstad243]

Great to see you again 🙏 I am on the south shore of Lake Superior 🙏 it's going to be Super Duper cold here -20 to -30 wind-chill for about a week or so.. it's coming from Canada.. Which could mean that you are going to be even colder for you.. You may be able to get use of the ice road.. Clean up at the cabin. Be ❤️‍🩹 well, Be safe 🙏

[@eutenka1772]

A cabin surrounded by trees is a perfect get away from it all...if i have a stock of food,water,generator,tools,a small radio and my vape stuff i could live there forever👍

[@williammeek7218]

Ah , Jay in the morning. Welcome to the cabin life. Waiting for the completion of the improvements. And yes I also have a good feeling when ever you post. You have been a busy man lately. When your finished with the cabin you should get Mom out there again. She’s a sweet lady. You are blessed to have her. Yea I like the Ice road truckers. You haven’t got a worry though you aren’t packing 20 tons across it.

[@db.mc2]

Thanks Jay , Appreciate you my friend 🙏🏻 God Bless, stay safe and take care

[@kentcostello5286]

You guys are blessed to have it 😮

[@coreyweese2232]

Hi Jay, one thing that helps me when my generator is cold and doesn’t want to start is I use the tent propane heater that screws on the disposal propane tank. It works for the snowmobile as well. Heater buddy.

[@frankb1]

Good luck on your cabin!

[@lindaweston9456]

I am learning so much from you about how to cook in one pot! Thank you so very much.

[@jvsaints3028]

I loved watching this video about the cabin. I kept thinking how much my father would have loved a place like this. We had an old cabin in Colorado and it was wonderful. Enjoy your serenity.

[@kagnewmp12]

I'm a new subscriber and it's mostly because a big majority of these videos that show guys building or living in these remote cabins are from Russia or Siberia and most of them have very little if any speaking. I like to know what's going on. My Grandfather had a very nice Sugar Shack that he built in Northern Michigan way up in the Maple forest and he use to let us Boy Scouts do winter campouts there and like you said it's lots of fun walking inside and get that big stove going. It could be 10 below and long before morning we were sliding out of our sleeping bags and just sleeping in our long Jon's. I spent many long hours helping my Grandfather make Maple Syrup as a boy. I'm 71 now and only the foundation is still there now. It's nice to see you eating what you cook but as a boy growing up in the 1950s with a Mother and two older sisters that were all great cooks my 3 Brothers and I were lucky if we could boil water without burning it. My Wife of 36 years is also an excellent cook and I have actually mastered the Art of making a Killer Omelet and at least once a Month both my grown Daughters show up just so Daddy can make Omelets. I hope your able to catch some nice Walleye in that lake as it's without a drought the best fish out there. So looking forward to seeing you build that closed in porch.

This seems like a eating show in a cabin in the Woods. I can dig it!

[@christophercosentino5736]

Hey Jay! Hi from Cornwall. Like the set up. Two of us taking a week off, heading to our little hideaway spot at Lake Superior, big drop expected. I never thought, being an Aussie Expat, I would be camping in minus temps, compared to the heat back home.

[@bellasavadge1302]

Loving the idea of the mud room.

[@janiedillingham3190]

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with the cabin. But I also love watching you survive in the canvas tent when it's -40 outside. (Brrrrr!!!) Camping in the RMS tent(s), too. It's all fantastic!

[@richardbedard1245]

I would think that the trees that surround your cabin block much of the sheer winds that could come across that open plain outside of the tree line. As I am building my own cabin I will be interested in what you do as well as the thought process. Thank you for sharing your "adventure" with us who enjoy life a little warmer. This is my first time viewing your channel, it just popped up as I scrolled down the page.

[@theirlmccoy9784]

Just watching your videos Jay is a relaxing time for me. You've gotta get Crystal down there with you, haven't seen her in a while. Tell we miss her too. Y'all stay safe and warm.

[@sandrataylor3723]

Enclosing the porch is a great idea! Just a thought, what about screening in the top half and building heavy shutters to close them off to the elements, that way you can sit on the porch in the spring, summer and fall enjoying looking out over the landscape, especially if it's raining. Storage and a porch all in one room. So many possibilities. Watching you eat the French toast made me hungry again and I just got through eating...lol. Looking forward to your next video!

Love you cabin Jay and love watching your videos. Excited to see what you do with the cabin. The porch or mud room sounds like a great ideal.

Take care and see you on your next video.

Just started watching your videos because of the cabin. Looking forward to seeing more..... btw, I'm from Virginia, and I really enjoy seeing the deep snow and life in the Great White North. I've been watching The Outsider for many years for this reason. I also like how The Outsider has a saw mill and mills his own lumber. If you're allowed to harvest trees on the property, this would be a huge plus for the channel and cost savings for you. You could side the cabin, add flooring, extra rooms, etc. Anyway, Looking forward to seeing what you do. I'll be watching for more. Thanks.
