Top video jay keep em coming 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍

[@anaiisaggy1543]

Your cooking is mouthwatering 💕

[@deekelley891]

Awesome! I live in bear country, too. Always a concern after those pesky fellows wake up.

[@Chiamex]

Thanks for always telling the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit!

[@jblake62]

Awesome photography. You have come quite a way. Thank you for all the effort in sharing this with us. I have a comment/suggestion for you. Just some advice from an old man who has lived off wood heat all my life. When cutting medium sized logs with an axe chop it like this. your swing should be right then left, then left then right, right then left. you will be surprized how much more material you will remove and with less effort. Give it a shot. Thanks again.

[@karengladys2011]

Love the drone footage Jay! And as always love watching your videos! Spring is upon us, and even though you won’t be there as much, I’ll always keep watching! Enjoy the spring! I’m into gardening so I’m looking forward to our spring here in Pittsburgh ! ❤️🪴

[@kevinaunger3092]

I love the way how you made your cabin I love your outside and I love how you fixed it up and made it look good my new wife and I would like to build one exactly the same plus find a piece on island. Will do exactly what you got you're doing a great job keep making videos and I really appreciate it I learned a lot sign Kevin

[@jboutdoors7019]

Another awesome video jay! Can’t wait for my kids to get a little older so I can do this type of stuff with them, thanks for taking us along on the hike in to camp, really enjoyed it, I’m going to look for those pork things next time we go shopping, looks delicious!

[@1965ask]

Search channel “Outdoor Boys” on KZbin. 😊 Man takes young sons camping. There are dozens and dozens of videos. They do a lot of camping and in very cold conditions.

[@spiderreed350]

Its B.S.,no Bears...big deal the Bears are awake,show us some.. The fish are awake to.

[@jameshigginbothamiii8703]

That is quite a hike for a weekend "at the camp." The snow mobile really makes that trip bearable, but hiking it is really a workout.

[@helenmaslocka1914]

I am 65 yo and due to spine issues can no longer hike. This said, I still enjoy the outdoors and natural beauty. I have come to enjoy your videos because nature, your cozy cabin/tent stories are telling about life in the wilderness. I once spent a month in the wilderness of California. It was awesome. And I think your girlfriend is wonderful. I hope you marry her! PS, your cooking is amazing. If I ate the way you can, I would be a blimp. Goes to show you the value of vigorous exercise.

[@woodhoundbug4697]

I just want to let you know how much you mean to my family and I we enjoy it And having you share it with us that makes what a wonderful person you are we hope you're bringing the time Bring your young lady friend out with you on a more Often so we can see you enjoy her company but once again I thank you For what you do I see one of the things you enjoy is on my bucket list I really want to see the northern lights I'm in my middle sixties and that is one of my things I have on my butt You are a lucky young man Once again thank you James T in North Carolina

[@d.j.robinson9424]

Great job Jay, I'm so glad you got your smell and taste back. 👍💚☉

[@johnmcmullen6038]

I would like to add, I enjoy your content! Thanks for all the hard work and sharing

[@TitanTrails]

I still very much enjoy your videos which seem to get better and better. So cool to watch now after being a sub for so long. I do a week in a tent like that hunting every year, and I also own a cabin. Watching you at your set up makes me want a full time tent! Just such a nice, simple set up, well done and very peaceful. Thanks for sharing Jay!

[@Bruins8851]

Thanks Jay, looking forward to seeing the other site you took over and what you might be doing there where you took the old tent down. Looks like you have a busy summer ahead. I will b e heading out myself this summer on some adventures camping as you have inspired mr to get back out to nature and how important it is to reconnect with it.

[@deanlindholm8663]

I think I've said this on here before. Black bear scat usually has berries in it. Grizzly scat has little bits of flannel and smells like bear spray.

[@stevealaskaman5680]

OMG…..had I been drinking milk I would have snorted out my nose…that there was funny. Thanks for sharing

[@BigRiverLabrador]

Having further footage taken from a drone is just awesome Jay! Gives a great overall look of your camp site and the terrain you’re in 👍

[@lloydmarche3058]

I am hungry now after seeing the wonderful meal you made. Enjoyable video as always .👍. 🙂

[@mkusanagi1935]

the one shot disposable pen and pin reminds me of a pinball ball plunger. thank you for that. 😉

[@olmatedropbear7862]

Absolutely amazing as always. Thank you for doing this video for us. I wasn't sure if you would get one in before the summer hits.

[@sandrataylor2323]

Glad no bears came around. It's a good thing you came prepared. Need to keep a fork and spoon at the cabin. LOL...I couldn't use chop sticks, just not coordinated enough. Thanks for sharing. Always love seeing the changing seasons.

[@bwcok7947]

A lean to made into a summer kitchen over your big stove would be a game changer! Shower water, cooking, all covered out of the wind, rain, and sun!

[@Bossman76239]

Dang Jay, really stepping up the video quality huh? Those drone shots were beautiful! Glad to know that you’re taking precautions as the bears are coming back and doing what you can to stay safe. You truly do live a fantastic and enjoyable life (at least I think so) and I hope you enjoy every moment of it, I know I enjoy watching it. Much love and until next time! -Landon

[@haroldfoust]

Thank you for showing the video that means a whole lot👏NC

[@_Darth_Vader_]

Always a great day when Jay uploads. Cheers everyone.

[@kennethkeideljr7523]

Great video Jay. FYI in the spring as you know a bear will eat near anything. Even the residual scent of the packaged meat you brought along with tempt them and they will thrash that thing looking for it. Speaking from experience lol. Great job with the content. My whole family are fans

[@janneal9156]

PS you're sitting there eating and I'm looking out for bears for you oh lord ....

[@suejenkins1421]

Oh jay you are such a lovely man, you did make us laugh No Fork but bless you making chopsticks 🥢, yet another wonderful video, love and best wishes from sue and andy xxx❤️❤️👵🏻👴🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@searchone1042]

Muy bonita su cabaña..soy una admiradora desde ECUADOR. Saludos..desde mi pais..envieme un saludo gracias.

[@Ghostdog4]

I'm always delighted to see you arrive at your camp and its been untouched. A testament to the remoteness and character of the people in the area. Dude, Steak a medley of root vegetables, Bacon, Coffee and the Bears are just awaking up and starving??? Invite them over, meet your neighbors. A BBQ some songs around a campfire. Make a solid woodland buddy friend thing with the Ursus family. Promise them donuts when you come back and they will protect your property like watchdogs.

[@shawnseaward6190]

Right on, give them bears the negative experience instead of the deadly one. Gotta have with you gear in bear country. Love the drone footage. Cheers.

[@delboy-co2wu]

thanks for making the winter here in england bearable love watching the vids on a saturday night with a good beer

[@waffles2859]

Spring and Winter my 2 favorite seasons. Fall is so beautiful too. But I just like to hang onto that last little bit of Winter with the crocus starting to poke threw and the warmth on my face and a good fire. I’m sad to see the Winter leave because that means my Jay in the woods time is shorter. Until next Winter Jay. I know we will see you here and there. May you be healthy and happy and closer to your dreams. Thank you Jay.

[@sheilacaine3962]

Beautiful weather. I love this tent. I watched you build it from the start. Awesome.

[@stoutkm]

Great drone shots Jay! Looking forward to more camping videos. Best regards

[@andrefoley9677]

Nice to see the area from the air. Never miss a video. However, lol, it freaks me to see you saw 2 logs of wood at once. It significantly increases the chances of saw kickback…and being alone in the woods , on foot, could be disastrous. Food for thought. Keep ‘em coming Jay!! Cheers!!

[@keeneterry1603]

As you say Jay, It's your dream keep living it.. You have the opportunity that many can only imagine!

[@marshabrines3180]

I don't ever expect to be in bear territory but your bear protection was very interesting. Enjoy your videos.

[@TheWilkReport]

Suggestion: get yourself reasonably priced but easy to replace eating utensils that you wash and put away to leave at the campsite. Alternatively, you can try crafting your own. If you have access to horn, you can use hot oil to soften the material enough to carve and shape it to your needs.

[@walbertotorres9292]

thank you so much for your videos! l enjoy them very much!!

[@davebetker8788]

Put your smelly stuff in a sealed container, hit a garage sale/thrift store for camp cutlery/pots snd pans etc you can leave there, saves packing stuff in and out....love the channel....

[@midge604]

Excellent video, loved seeing your truck to the tent.

[@rrr579123]

Always look forward to the next video. Enjoyed this one.

[@lorrainediazdiaz9356]

Love your giant Fork . It did the work enjoy your dinner or breakfast .

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

Awesome scenery Jay what a beautiful time of year to be in the woods

[@roymarchant6361]

Super like the subscribe, like & notify animations. Summer at the tent looks just as good as winter. Diversity Rocks!!

[@whiteturtleadventuresandphoto]

A trick I adopted years ago and teach is when you leave camp set your wood stove / fire pit up for a fire. That way when coming back if something happens like you fall into the water or get hurt your fire is ready to go instantly.

[@Sushi2735]

Amen! We did that at our cabin, too. And wood box full.

[@LadyDi205]

Another great video. I’m glad you explained about the bears and showed the devices you use. Of course the food part is great too. Here in the South we call that pork bacon (White meat) because it’s so white. We usually wash it first since it’s so salty. Yeah we eat it a lot here in Alabama. Your camp site is beautiful even without the snow. I’m sure the air quality is fresh. Thanks for bringing us along. 😀

[@Bossladyone2]

We had bears in southern CA. I had an older Arab mare with dry hooves. We also had black bears. There was a well-meaning guy who told me bacon grease was the best hoof care to heal the dry condition. The bears had been known to cross the road and climb our trees. It just did not seem like a good idea to slather her feet with the bacon grease and get chased by bears.

[@janneal9156]

I have anxiety thinking of possibly encountering a big bear 🐻 hungry and all yikes ....I think I,ll stay here with my 🐨 bears they don't eat humans .I enjoy watching 👍

[@karleendouglas3882]

Thank you again for sharing your adventures!

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Awesome video as always Jay. So peaceful and the best living for the soul. Cheers

[@zoner1874]

Excited to see another Tent video. It was great as usual. Thanks Jay !!

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

Love your videos, much love from, " the Croziers From Maine".

[@peterdevries3651]

Another great video Jay they are always so relaxing to watch!!!!

[@timcurry192]

And the old barrel stove finds an new life. A wind that kicks up a campfire won't touch that bad boy. Northern lights in a azure sky. Wow.

[@jaylegere]

Yep. That stove still has a place at camp!

[@keithcotnoir6331]

Awesome video Jay, its going to be a long summer , I really enjoy your winter video's .. chop sticks

[@timwilligar2525]

You slay me Jay! "I forgot my fork!". I think I've watched every one of your videos. Started watching when you were muckin around in your old tent. You looked like a brand new bear cub out there. You sure have come a long ways. I don't comment much but I'm always watching. Enjoy the weather, see you next time.

[@jaylegere]

Hey Tim. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I love hearing from people who have been around from the beginning.

[@davea1771]

Spring has sprung! Soon enough you'll have to take the long way to get to the tent, but then you'll be able to get some fishing in so it'll be worth it. Adding the drone shots was a big plus too. Once things have thawed out you should check the corner of the tent platform to see if it settled any more. By the looks of it, the frozen ground hasn't moved any during the winter, but that might change in warmer temperatures. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@acimbobby]

back with you mate. Never really gets boring this type of life. Too much to do. That wood store is just what you need. Loaded out. It might snow again though.

[@nigelnewham2148]

Great videos Jay keep up your good work 👍

[@deanmartin9358]

your tent and stove look so inviting Jay

[@oh-brothers]

Welcome to Jay's Eatery for hungry bears !!! 👍🐻🍕🍔🍟🌭🍿🥓🍖🍗🥩🧀🍠 Your steel kindling maker must sound like a triangle dinner chime to the bears !!!! lol

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Brenda.

[@keithkoski630]

So glad to see you out there so late in the season !! Great video, Take care and keep it going !!

[@wilwilliamson8831]

Get yourself a spork, it’s a knife, spoon and fork all in one. You will find them in most outdoor shops etc . I have one in all my pieces of kit. You could even go posh and get a titanium one, light but very strong 👍

[@beckygriggs7827]

I remember you mentioned that you had the covid not long ago, it's a shame but it does affect your sense of smell for a little while, had it 10 months ago and still iffy myself sometimes. Hang in there bud, you'll get better. You really should leave a set of cutlery at the tent, you can clean them thoroughly with snow, store them above with other items. I am with you about the chocolate, Cadbury makes the best, my favorite is the fruit and nut bar. caramello is awesome too, Enjoy

[@jounikivela2624]

Very nice place👍Just like here in Finland.Like your videos

[@pamalvestad3848]

Long awaited welcome to spring season 🌷

[@paulnunn1039]

Brilliant as ever, but I'm gonna miss seeing all that snow.

[@johnmcmullen6038]

Hi Jay, its hard to avoid sweating on a hike. In winter conditions I always take another set of clothes and change immediatly upon arrival. Then you can warm up immediately, take your time setting the fire in the wood stove and and dry out your clothes. No chills, or at least they don't last long. Also remove layers as you warm up on a hike without delay. Minimizing the overheating will reduce the sweathing too. I add and remove clothing fast. If you get too wet, you are at high risk of Hypothermia if something goes wrong. Not to mention there is no help on the way any time soon.

[@billhayes8353]

Glad to see you back Jay, be careful.

[@robertstowe2003]

Really nice video here, Jay. These videos just about make my day! Thanks so much!

[@tlembro]

Take some bamboo chop sticks and leave them there! LOVE Sapporo!

[@bufferam]

Hehe, the chopsticks were genius 😂, gotta admit, I’m a teabag squisher, no patience hehe, awesome vid , thanks so much Jay!

[@lancewhalen3493]

As always Jay! Outstanding video!

[@karlsteffen7804]

LOVE YOU JAY! CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO! make me a two hour video!

[@davejoynt6276]

Tea and crumpets with Jay, lol, could be a new chapter.

[@bertrandpiche7599]

Well, another fine video. Love your videos. Simple, wholesome, and fun. Fortunately no plague of bugs yet. And those pork belly strips look very good. I can just imagine the taste, oops drooling all over my keyboard!

[@luish777]

Man your living its beautiful out there .

[@yurizhivago8016]

Hey Jay! Awesome videos! I enjoy them quite a bit. Just wanted to say be careful with those cheap stainless steel grill brushes. They can shed and end up in the food. People in the US had to have intestinal surgery to get them out. Just watch out for shedding. Sorry to be a killjoy, just be aware. Cheers!

[@keithsmith8146]

Thanks for sharing Jay, stay safe :)

[@chrisbennett7027]

Great trip I really enjoyed the scenes! Good info on bear protection

[@Wkent10]

Excellent video!

[@kd8309]

I'm glad for you that you returned to find your "house" in order.

[@marianfrances4959]

Fruit and vegetables??? LOL. Good to be bear aware.👍😎🇨🇦🌲🔥☕ Oh, and for me, it's Lindt, all the way! 🍫

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello and thumbs UP to you!

[@LeoMary2013]

Jay I like the drone view you have added to your videos

[@richardthomas1743]

I love your videos Jay and I have to admit that I am a tea bag squisher! LOL .. Your Steak and Pork Bellies looked delicious! Thanks Jay and thumbs UP man! 👍

[@jimreppy8874]

And my wife laughed at me when I bought a couple folding, camping utensil sets for our bags. Loving the videos brother. Keep up the fantastic work

[@jaylegere]

Ha! Right on Jim. Thanks for the comment. Jay.

[@luciereadman4003]

So happy you made it this week.

[@badlandsg215]

😂😂😂😂 proud of u Jay for the veggies but I’m sticking with them potatoes and 🥩 lol

[@jbthor9032]

Nice Jay. 👍 The next time you go to your tent you'll be canoing. I like the idea of the log splitter. Maybe I can get one made for me here?

[@deanmartin9358]

you are so right cadbury make the best chocolate in the world Jay it completes your tea

[@robertjantz3728]

Great one man, thank you.

[@paulmoody4224]

Awesome video jay cheers bud

[@MikeDacameraman]

Great drone shots and wonderful outro.. Jay in the woods definitely feeling it! Maybe a suggestion that you probably already got but you could make and craft things while you're out there let's say for example something simple like bird houses or other simple word workings. Either way I look forward to your videos have a good one Jay!

[@chloecook4511]

You were worried about the perfume smell of the fire starters but I would br more worried about cooking a steak on an outdoor grill if there were bears around. :(

[@mikefoehr235]

I see you have acquired a drone. I love drone footage...nice birds 🐦 eye 👁 view. I am curious, just what types of bear 🐻 🐻‍❄ would you e counter up there? I figure black bear but are grizzlies around or is it polar bear? Spring is nice outside...not to hot or cold 🥶 and no bugs.
