[@Jason-xb3jh]

I am a born and raised in Montana guy. This brought back memories of camping with my Dad in a hunting cabin… no power… in the middle of winter…. when I was a kid. Cabin is in Big Timber, MT and surrounded by wilderness. An oil lamp and a big old cast iron “Garland”, wood burning cook stove were the amenities. The sound of the snow squeaking…. and the sound of the wood being split…. brought it all back. I think that when it gets that cold outside… the air almost smells different…. Anybody else find that to be true? At -30 F and colder…. on a windless night…. the still quietness is truly amazing…. only if you have a toasty, roaring fire. 😊 Thanks for the video 👍✨

You mentioned a couple times how much you loved being out in the extreme cold (with the right gear and also inside a warm tent). I get it. Grew up in Michigan, and winter was probably my favorite time of year. The snow, the cold, the more the better! Something primal about the challenge of man against the elements, the solitude of winter, when no one else is out, the beauty of the forest covered in snow, the squeak and crunch of the snow below zero. The smoke rising above the cabin, the warm glow of the fire. Nice.

[@kneelbung7373]

I actually got happier when the fire was going! The squeak of below zero snow is awesome. And your correct, very primal.

We were in insulated 12 man tents we had two kerosine heaters. We stayed warm enough. Then 3 days it got up to 70 + degrees. We were on that mountain for 45 days eating C rations.

When I was working as a diamond driller up in Northern Ontario I lived in a tent similar to yours with 3 other guys. I worked 2 winters in freezing temperatures from November through to late March. From mid December through until the end of February the average day time temperature was around -25 degrees Celsius and night time temperatures were _40 to -45 degrees Celsius. We had lots of canned goods to go along with packages of frozen meats. Each of us took turns making meals and at the drill site we had a 45 gallon drum as our wood stove but had a stove similar to yours in the tent. At the drill site my average meal consisted of canned soup and canned meat with a couple of slices of bread. My favorite canned meat was spam and a can of beans and canned potatoes. I would fry up the potatoes add the beans and the can of spam. It was my favorite meal while at work. To change things up sometimes I would have salmon it came in cans like our soup cans so it made for a nice meal with canned potatoes that again I would fry up on that 45 gallon drum wood stove. I am retired now and I still enjoy my can of spam mixed with beans, canned potatoes but now I also add two eggs that I will make for breakfast now. It's actually quite good. After all spam is made of a piece of pork shoulder put raw into the can and is boiled in hot water until cooked and the result is what you get when open the can

[@Sabbathissaturday]

Good story! Y’all lived through it and it made you stronger. 😂

[@lansteadla]

WOW. Glad you survived it! That would have been a terrible thing.

[@margaretlarson5899]

How did you survive ?

[@50gary]

One of my saysing's is "I hate bad weather.. but I love terrible weather". Extremes bring out a different set of parameters for comfort, for tolerance, for survival. The closer one gets to the survival end the more deep the reward becomes. Extreme anything challenges you, preparation, abilities, making making the right decisions. I can see your attraction to this type of adventure. Side note: I bet your selling a ton of Yamaha snowmobiles. (I'm not saying your sponsored) When that engine comes to life what a feeling of security. Oh, canned meat? Solid white Albacore.

[@sylviacardenas4890]

I love your free stress videos, it calm my anxiety, thank you.

[@Hawk7886]

You mean stress free? Free stress would be quite a bit different, lol

[@andyb1527]

Just watching this video was good for the soul, living this experience must have been so uplifting. Sweet video!

[@jennyc1846]

Greetings from Western Australia Jay. Yes I stayed until the end...who in their right mind wouldnt? Loved your video and am now a new subscriber. I love all things cold and snowy and cant wait to see some more of your vids. Im a 70 yr old and live my adventures through other peoples lives...used to live in Tasmania (Aust) and we got down to minus 8 on a cold night but nothing like what you share, so thank you so much for the enjoyment. I love corned beef sandwiches or corn beef and fried veg - bit of pickle on the side Tuna or salmon sandwiches are great too. But do wonder..in Oz we add water to our canned soups do you not need to do that with yours..eg are they meant to be eaten the way you did? Keep the great content coming and I hope scammers dont ruin things for you.

[@dalevandebeek2041]

Canadian here, to your soup question. Most of our soups we add water or m ilk for the creamed soups. I myself will go half milk half water to the creamed soups but we also have soup that you don't need to add anything its already done. Just dump in the pot heat and serve presto! Lol 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@deanlindholm8663]

Canadians can tell the temp by the sound the snow makes under their boots

[@WendyBliek]

Also the moustache has thick icicles on it. Where’s the icicles?

[@barrydeacon3551]

Jay: you need a stove fan!!! Definitely heat the tent better👍

[@killersmurfett]

thats insane how much snow there is there ... wow... my health is so fragile all i can do is dream of places like this , thank you for hosting this vid

[@yfhello]

May God bless you with good health

[@jillanderson1291]

It's always colder in our cabin than it is outside when we first get there. We're in the UP of Michigan and we swim through 3 plus feet of snow to get to it from the road. But once in and unpacked, it's heaven.

[@wildbrookies]

Thank you for this. It’s one of my favorite times. I was supposedlg drunk and stupid. But had a key to my buddies shanty way out a lake. The temps were wicked in even Northern New York. Thankfully we had a bunch of good old oak and pine to get it going. But it was so awesome bejng our in the middle of a lake all alone. It only went down to 25 below zero. But. I’ll tell. What a thrill it was. Thanks man!

[@michellethong8476]

First time viewer and this was so refreshing! Watching how much you love the cold and nature in general is a wonderful thing.

[@mikejohn5573]

It's hard to believe that you can get so much warmth inside a minimally insulated canvas cabin when it's so cold outside

[@StateGenesys]

A lot of it has to do with wind chill, you cut the wind, and warm sticks around

[@GVH1305]

I grew up in northern Canada where Halloween was -38 C. In my 20’s I bought a team of 5 sled dogs and did years of winter camping with my team. Coldest was -48 C, without the wind. I still love the cold at 69. Thx for great video.

[@iancar29]

Loved the entire video Jay! It was great to feel all the atmosphere you brought to it. Thanks for putting all the effort in. Would love to have a similiar cold shelter experience. Happy New year from Dublin, Ireland ! Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh!

[@errollleggo447]

I had to google Happy new year in Irish. Gártha! is cheers? I thought it was silante?

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

In regards to the tent being cold at the floor, you could maybe fit up a funnel system made of metal to the stove and allow it to conduct the heat into its air and then you can essentially setup a radiator system where a big pipe takes air from the ground and it pushes it up and then it circulates back to the ground again.

[@scottsheffer7352]

Love the how he shows and tells us what is working and what is not working.

[@stormbringerseven8288]

The government cannot keep you warm or safe. Get real, people.

[@t.dominik5212]

U are absolutely right my friend

[@robertiacomacci]

So, I live in South Carolina presently. Originally from Connecticut. When you started the video and were walking that particular sound the snow makes in absolute frigidness is very unique and I even thought it. I remember -40 F and windchill was -85. It was a record do not recall the year. But then you commented later in the video about the sound of COLD, it was cool that you made that point. I miss the cold weather it's been infernally hot here this year. Thanks for the video it went by so fast, you are definitely prepared!!

[@Dagrdottir]

I live in the Uk and we don't have anything like the conditions you were camping out in. I think the record for Kent where I live is -21 in the 1940's. I have experienced -14 which wasn't to bad until adding on the wind-chill which were we live - on a bit of land that juts out 6 miles into the sea - is incredibly uncomfortable and I know people that have been caught out in it and actually died of hypothermia. So I can't imagine what it is like to even stand in a temperature that cold. Thank you for sharing your camp out with us - it's something most of us can never experience any other way and it is very much appreciated.

[@ahmadjabbar5957]

Just a nice guy spending a night in a tiny home. I thought camping means putting a small tent somewhere and remove it next morning

[@avatron1274]

I watch a lot of these cold weather camping videos. I like that you actually talk in yours

[@richardburrell4468]

Thank you loved it first time I seen your vid I just love the excitement of camping out and keeping warm

[@kellythomas2890]

This is my very first video I watched of yours. And I was very satisfied with the production of it. I would definitely be watching more of your videos as long as you make them💯✅

[@nancytipton2640]

So enjoy watching you in the cold, setting up your tent, the wood stove, cooking, etc. Thanks for sharing.😊 In the 70’s we were in a small Eskimo village on the north slope of Alaska. Before freeze up and before we could get into hunting & ice fishing (no electric) we almost had to depend on canned meat if we wanted meat. We had gone to Anchorage & stocked up on canned goods & those got shipped to us. The canned meat I remember the most was canned whole chickens! Horrible!
