Ice Cold Cabin. A Frozen Forest

[@paulgilbert9346]

My guess for the reason you can only take dead trees near the lake is this: live trees are holding the soil in place on the edge of the lake while dead trees are not - by removing the dead ones you leave space for new ones to grow on soil that could otherwise be eroded. Have a great holiday Jay. Love from the UK.

[@Stonecutter334]

Was about to say the same thing.

[@kendog53]

Easier traveling, hard traveling in the woods

[@snotina]

yup I was going to say the erosion point as well

[@Kaboom-0623]

and you would be mostly wrong ... dead wood is dry green wood is NOT ... green burns colder than dead ... the dead wood also holds resin which makes for an excellent fire starter as well ...

[@scottm3913]

Or maybe he's just in Canada eh

[@golpher247]

Sunday morning...check, Cup of coffee...check, no one else up in the house....check, a Jay Legere video.....check. Sounds like a perfect morning for me.

[@hinrichspartners3281]

Well done!! Couldn’t have said it better!!

[@trinityh3939]

Lol same!!!

[@marcelapatriciavful]

I think you need a shed to protect the snowmobile and it's battery from extreme cold. 👍 Thanks 4 your videos. 🎉

[@karynkay328]

And have a wind generator and or a couple of solar pannels to trickle charge it

[@jemtec1]

The Anker Upgrade was exactly what you needed. Ive been thinking this since last year. A good solar array would also do the trick and help you rely less on the generator. Anytime those items fail, you slow down in some manner. Very risky in extreme cold! Great move Jay! Love your Channel!

[@keithmyfurnaceguy]

Bring the Honda Jenny in from outside now as the backup to the Anker . Wow delicious looking meal

[@jamesgregg5410]

I remember growing up eating the same type of meals, my parents always said it was the kind of meal that sticks to your ribs in cold weather

[@peterborchers410]

Jay has become one of my favourite KZbinrs. He is living his dream and does it in such a grounded, unobtrusive and humorous way. Merry Christmas to everyone here.

[@mikefoehr235]

Cutting wood in the winter is way easier. No bugs...not hot and with a snow machine it's so easy. Merry Christmas Jay

[@spacedudey2k]

Yippee. Another cabin video from Jay.

[@satisfactionguaranteed5355]

Yippee another video of him out in the miserable freezing cold starting a fire cooking something and ranting for a half hour

[@Lissa-eh5bg]

Wow, and then there was light. Love the new video's. More time at the cabin and seeing the improvements. Good series. Merry Christmas 🎁💖💖

[@C4mpblor]

Woo! Churning out the videos. Love it, Jay.

[@thebigwhitehorse6228]

...Much respect to you guys up there living that lifestyle....That polar vortex came down to this part of the states last year and I couldn't handle it for a full minute wearing 4 layers of clothes, insulated coveralls, and a Parka....You are awesome....Happy Holidays to you and your friends and family...🎄⛄😊❤

[@lindawashington2022]

Merry Christmas! I love the Joy you bring to hard work ! I hope you and all your loved ones (the fur baby too) have a wonderful and Joyful Christmas ❄️🎄❄️

[@michaelbranham5854]

One would think they would make the battery on a snowmobile easily accessible and removable so it could be taken in for keeping warm and strong.

[@christinebursey4976]

Merry Christmas Jay and family,love your videos from Buchans NL🎄🥰🎄🇨🇦🥰

[@davea1771]

Keep living the Dream. We'll keep watching. The Best of the Holiday season to everyone!!

[@aaronstewart2951]

Brother Jay, never stop what u are doing. I absolutely love what you do and would love to do it.

[@apar1560]

I like that power system ! 👍☆☆☆☆☆

[@kerplunk38880]

Jay, the snowmobile problem has an extremely simple solution. You have to trickle charge it. Keep it on the trickle charger all of the time when you’re not riding.

[@apar1560]

AGREE 👍

[@robhartshorn6823]

A battery maintainer. Also, look into getting a small jump starter pack to just carry with you. Wire up the snowmobile with a plug you can just plug the jump starter pack into.

[@flybywire5866]

Yes, the cold is hard on the batteries.

[@dragonslowroller1541]

Also if your battery isn't hard to remove trickle charge or just let it stay warm inside the cabin at night. Keeping the wind and direct frost or or snow off the sled might help.

[@stevedejoode1990]

Just said the same thing. Hope he gets one before catastrophe lol

[@JanMarcoccia]

Love the power system ❤. My dream has always been to have a cabin in the middle of nowhere. So I can live it through your videos. Fantastic job 👍

[@rebeccacrowley7486]

The new power station looks amazing, most of us are off on Christmas Day so you are completely right. It’s a time for family. Happy Christmas to you all 🎅🎄❤️

[@jameswilson6717]

Merry Christmas to you and all the family Jay.All the very best from Scotland 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

Yes another great Cabin video like the Anker power station thanks Jay enjoying your Cabin videos wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and Happy New year 2025 let's hope it's a good year 🎄👍👏

[@BillU1492]

I know I’ve posted it a few times, but Jay, I really enjoy your channel

[@jamiecampbell3037]

In regards to cutting “Green” trees within the lake perimeter, there are several reasons. Aesthetic appeal is one reason, Protection of Riparian Zones to avoid sedimentation in the water and preventing erosion. Protection of wildlife habitats, and finally you want to prevent water runoff speeds increasing which green trees can do as they help with soil stability and can prevent pollutants flowing into the lake.

[@doric_historic]

Jay has better entertainment production values than some OSCAR winning movies...

[@ftlaud911]

Huge upgrade on the Anker. Just be aware they don't like being cold. Would recommend getting fire started and using a Buddy Heater by it before you turn in on when you first get there. Let it warm up. Also file that chain often and have a spare chain/bar with wedges in case saw gets pinched or have two saws with you if possible.

[@teflone121]

A sophisticated power station like this would have a built in heater and would warm itself slowly till appropriate temps have been met. If this doesnt have a heater, its a complete failure of a company such as anker. I would be astonished if it doesnt have a heater.

[@jerryrogers9703]

On the battery look at the cold cranking amps. The higher the cranking amps the more power it's going to have to start the snowmobile 3:29 now you can use the jackery that you had, for the snowmobile and put the trickle charger on it and just leave it on there while you're at the cabin. 7:5 7:59 9

[@jacobrobinson5485]

jay your living every mans dream. At least my dream!! live on brother

[@randyshanks9176]

Will miss you next week Jay. Have a great Christmas!

[@jerryrogers9703]

I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas Jay. And we will see you very soon. yeah, oh baabyy! 😊

"I'm not living out here, I'm loving it out here." Best description of this channel. Awesome!

Happy holidays Jay from your viewers in New Brunswick 🎄🇨🇦

[@cironunziataextras8463]

Hello neighbour / Saint John NB here ,I love this channel beautiful country up there for sure !!!

[@Nicole-oi6il]

Agreed!!

[@jklin2987]

Jay, I don't know why you don't have 1,000,000+ subscribers. I've watched your videos since way back when you were building the floor and frame for your tent. I wondered what the heck you were trying to do. I always like your content, but never better than when I watch your cold videos in the winter from cold Minnesota, USA.

[@snip3r416]

12:17 I don’t know why but I love when you had the music in when the talking parts are over it’s just feels so smooth and warm and relaxing 😊 can’t be the only one right.

[@brad9745]

Absolutely enjoy the wood gathering videos, because its actually something i can and still do

[@Chris-tg7qb]

Jay, please find yourself a splitting maul (8lbs) because it will make your life much easier. We split all our wood by hand for years because we heated our home with wood. It was a lot of work but healthy work if you work smart. Have a good break 🌲👍

[@Tom-wd5bs]

Merry Christmas Jay and everyone in comments :)

[@richberg404]

Merry Christmas Jay, much appreciate you content. I love everything about your channel. I know about building and tools, it is fun to watch you learn. You don’t pretend to know something you don’t. You are real and genuine. Your channel in a highlight of my week. Thank You

[@jaylegere]

Thanks so much!

[@JM-jm-d3y]

Anker is top!!

[@richardbedard1245]

Where I'm at I get my firewood delivered, already split. Not long ago, I would cut, split, and stack all of my firewood. That had to change when I lost use of the splitter, and began building my cabin. This is why I'm glad I found your channel. It brings back memories of what used to be. I live in the mountains, and am surrounded by woods. I'm always looking for the next episode! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@graemepinnock]

So I was quite amused that it was -25c inside the cabin, -19c outside, and the first thing that needed to be plugged in to the Anker was the refrigerator. It just seems like a very first-world problem that you need to get the stove lit to heat up the cabin and when it gets warm, you need to run a refrigerator to have a cold place for stuff. I understand that outside is just too cold for stuff that goes normally in the refrigerator, but surely there must be a better way?

[@chelseagirl924]

It's a good day when I get my Jay's Cabin fix

[@sandratweedale2579]

Hi J. Glad to see you getting sponsorship support. You sure deserve all the support to keep you coming back to us. It’s a treat to watch you enjoy yourself at the cabin. Whoa that knife was serious! You make the best meals. Another great day at the cabin.

[@aileentavernia5073]

Growing up, and into my adult life, Cheez Whiz was one of the food groups for me. Due to age, and certain health risks, I rarely have it now. Please enjoy it. Cheez Whiz is the best. Have a Merry Christmas. 🎄

[@KatrinaRatliff]

I love to see what he is putting together each video. The cholesterol thing seems to be taboo on this channel. I never have seen a cheese whiz bacon sandwich. I am from Northern NY off Lake Ontario very close to CA originally. Watched 2 CA stations and one from Watertown NY growing up. Lots of CA foods made their way across the border, but not that sandwich. Made me chuckle a little.

[@stevengoshey6600]

Good move Jay! We love our f3800. I'm on grid and currently using it for emergency power for grid down situations. Love that I can run my 240v well when needed. We currently charge it with 4-405 watt Anker solix solar panels and can also charge with our small inverter generator if needed. We're hoping to add at least one expansion battery soon. P.S. love your channel.

[@343jwright5]

Bro, stopping putting 🩹s on that damn sled! New starter/battery/alternator or a whole NEW sled! 🤣 Can’t go wrong with Anker. Def tops in small appliance charging.

[@flok.8317]

Yes! It's a good one!! Jay is the funniest guy! If he doesn't make it as a KZbinr (Spoiler alert... He makes it!!!), he will make it as a stand-up comedian!!!

[@judahcanaan7015]

Regarding green trees on the shoreline: I expect the reason has to do with shoreline erosion. A whole street had to be condemned in my town after a dam removal dropped the waterline 20 feet below the previous treeline. The hillside exposed by the reduced water level eroded within a few years.

[@critter9857]

cant burn green wood and prob law not to cut down live trees on crown land

[@judahcanaan7015]

@critter9857 but he has a permit for green trees more than 60m from shore, which led me to my conclusion.

[@SueCurwen]

I love watching you Jay, here in UK. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas with your family, look forward to seeing you when you get back. Let's hope that 2025 is bringing lots of good news & hope for everyone around the world. ❤ ❤ 🎅 🎄 🎄 🎉 🌰

[@jfk64kennedy95]

I know you have a lot to do, but if I was you, maybe in combination with a covered wood shed(couple cord covered storage), this coming summer, I'd build a "heated garage", an enclosed storage room, "garage" for the snowmobile, generator, chain saw. Night before, early morning, you can get a stove going, to pre-heat, warm up, just a few degrees, to make easier starting....you could potentially even make it a "drive through" doors on both sides, so can drive snow mobile right through. Taking 'green' trees, intelligently, 'thinning' the forest, is actually good for the forest, lets the sunlight in and you stack the green trunk lengths for a year or 2, to 'season', then split, that makes great firewood.

[@joannebonin5757]

[@bonnienklyde918]

I believe leaving green trees throws seeds for new growth by the lake. Taking the dead trees by the lake leaves new room for the new growth.

[@andyjackson7475]

Now get a battery tender for the Ski Doo battery. With the Anker, you can leave it plugged in the entire time you are at the cabin!

[@williamsimmons8927]

Merry Christmas Jay, see you soon. enjoyed this very much.

[@Newfieguy]

Great video. Really enjoy watching. My friend I have to say something about the way you use the chainsaw. I use to live in the NWT and most recently worked about 300km north of Yellowknife so I know up that far north you are really isolated from some civilization and personal safety is paramount. I seen you start your saw in the “drop start” way with the chain brake off which can cause a hazard to you should something happen. I would recommend starting it between the legs method when in deep snow. Where you place the saw handle/throttle with the chain brake on between your legs just above knee height with your right hand hold the cross handle and pull the cord. I’ve been using this method for years and is taught in chainsaw courses. I only say this because I don’t want to see you get hurt and help up there isn’t minutes away but hours. Take care.

[@sandrataylor3723]

Glad you found two good trees to cut. You have to have wood to survive in freezing conditions for sure. Better stock up on coffee as it looks like the prices are getting ridiculous. Hope you have a nice day off with your family. When are you going to bring your little dog to play in the snow?

[@seanbryk7285]

Hey Jay. Not sure if you know this, but Stihl chainsaws have a winter/summer shutter that activates a carburetor pre-heater. Some have a slide, and some you flip in the airbox. Google it, it will help your saw run better in those frigid temps.

[@skitpare2627]

Great to see the Pelican hauler 👍🍻 I got one as well and love it.
