Our DEEP FREEZE is 20C WARMER than outside! Off Grid Homestead

We put our cameras to the test at -40C to capture our off grid homestead when our deep freeze was 20C warmer than outside. It can be a deadly cold, if you're not prepared, but it can also be strange and beautiful!

Your right, Rose is beautiful. They frost mascara is stunning!!

[@krickette5569]

Loved watching the water freeze in the air and Rose's eye lashes!

[@jsav5845]

Damn. Hopefully, your animals have some kind of shelter to take refuge in. It's pretty bad when a cow is shivering because it's so cold. It was -50°c where I live with Windchill a couple of weeks back. Pipes froze in the basement, had to turn the water off so they didn't burst.

This is fast-becoming my favorite channel on KZbin. I'm drawn in by the love shown. I'm autistic and keep to myself. I'm envious of others, who are able to exhibit love both for natural beauty as well as for each other and are not ashamed to express emotion. I struggle with the latter. I'm very friendly, but it's limited. Your friendliness is limitless. It seems humanity falls into two categories: Bullies and Bullied. You can likely guess which one I've struggled with for 75 years. Autism exhibits itself in honesty, loyalty and unquestioning child-like acceptance of others. We automatically take people at face value and that often translates to "target". Yall seem to be genuine and I for one "PRECIATE" that. BTW - I'm fom Texas and we often leave off letters when we talk. Preciate yall!

[@TeutonicNordwind]

Hunker down and stay safe, guys!

[@mongkolsomkid6831]

Tough animals out there.

I was in Northern Vermont for nearly a year, from one summer to the next... That was a Winter I won't forget... Just like what you're showing in this video. I don't think we hit minus 40 but I am damn sure I had the firepit roaring enough to chase the snow away from and off of everything near the fire pit. Picnic Table was buried in snow the first night of snow, the second night the snow was struggling to leave just a flake on that table. My stepfather's snowmobile was frozen and wouldn't start until he dragged it over to the firepit with the truck. Then that baby started right up. Didn't matter though... No one wanted to ride it when the snow was way over your head sitting on a Snow mobile. And the hike into the backwoods... Nothing more creepier than Silence in the forest... Every noise, if not muted, was muffled beyond belief. We distinctly heard the cracking of a tree way off in the distance, and could tell by the sound it was a waterlogged but frozen tree exploding and collapsing, but there was not Boom of the impact on the ground, it was one of the most hair raising sounds I ever heard. We found the tree in spring and yeah it was a HUGE Old Growth Maple and everywhere. How we couldn't hear those massive branches colliding into the ground and breaking up in the process... Just shocked us. Each branch may as well been another tree. That thing was Massive in the main stem. Had to have been at least Six maybe seven or more feet in diameter. The bigest branches were like four feet in diameter and had have been the lowest branches. I think the smallest brand was like around a foot in diameter, that is besides the little little ones ranging from finger width to twigs. It was insane seeing it during the thaw. And the thought ALWAYS crosses my mind... Poor animals that lived in that tree... But then it always comes back to, WELL THE BEAVERS HAVE A FEAST, it wasn't far from a Beaver Dammed pond... LOL!!! STAY SAFE UP THERE YOU GUYS... Love your videos. STAY WARM...

[@RJ-er3gv]

I always loved how quiet the bush is when its crazy cold. When I was younger it was fun to play in. Retired we live were we almost never see snow and when we do its for just a few hours or days.

[@TheArtisanbard]

Wow! Frosty. You know it’s cold when your nose hairs freeze! Great cam footage

[@jmerasty76]

From a hunter and trail camera user next door in Alberta I find that regular alkaline batteries don't do so well in colder temps. Your best bet is to use lithium ion batteries even though they cost a bit more but they last longer and in lower temps. That said, the -45⁰C temps we had here were enough to stop my cams from sending me photos for a good week but they resumed when it warmed enough. Great episode by the way. Also, we need more Dave involvement soon lol

[@ThatMattWhite]

Trouble with Liion batteries is that you will _destroy_ them if you charge them at all when it's too cold. Alkaline batteries will charge very slow/not at all, but at least they won't be damaged.

[@TieuCaTV2024]

Oh I like her snow covered eyelashes❤

[@journeymann]

Got the Air Con pumping hard today in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 🥵

[@listerine-pr5lt]

Wow Snow in Canada! I never expected that.

[@jenesisjones6706]

As an Aussie, I will NEVER know that extent of temperature...but I would love to experience it!

[@davidtrammell4453]

We use Spypoint cameras also , best we have ever used !

[@UncleBildo]

I'll bet Baja never sounded so good, eh? We had a week of cold (-15F), but then went back up to above freezing. Warmest winter I've ever experienced here. A far cry from the winters of my childhood. The high desert of Eastern Washington typically is winter from November to March, this year, we had a little winter in January. I'm ready for spring anyhow, bring on the camping and fishing. Keep up the good work, stay warm!

[@mikekleven8130]

Yup we had -50°C in Alberta for about 2 straight weeks 🥶🥶

[@UncleBildo]

I'd rather sweat my butt off

[@melchorkaamino208]

nice Canadian winter calamity been awhile no appearance of Super Akysia's fried smoked salmon crunchy & tender juicy coleslaw cheese burgers

[@robertmcintosh1572]

That's a bonny cat that you have there.

[@thenanimalfarm4906]

This reminds me of when I was in the US Navy back in the late 80's... We were doing carrier qualification ops in the North Atlantic and wearing extreme foul weather gear with no skin exposed. And even then, only allowed outside of the skin of the ship on a 15 minute in/out rotation. I don’t remember the temperature, but it felt like the cold was penetrating my bones.

[@larrycutting4514]

For many years I worked on the North Slope of AK. This time of the year could be -40-50 below zero. The coldest I saw was -60 below with an estimated windchill of -160 below. When flying back to Anchorage, it didn't matter what the temp was after being on the Slope, it was warm, relative 😏

[@ottocarmanjones7143]

Rose could be on to something with those icy lashes!

[@dwighthires3163]

-40 is indeed COLD. I have only experienced it once.

[@johnmoco3684]

Did the -40 stuff in North Minnesota for two months a few years back. I'll stick with Michigan. Worst part really is that darn wind...

[@microchip9303]

The REOLINK 360 CELLULAR works great for me. Luv the channel

[@mattg6472]

The more ice on the windows the cooler you look 😎. Its was minus 55 c the day my daughter was born in saskatchewan. Today plus 5 c !?!?!??!?! What is going on !?!?

[@PilgrimStanding]

Hailing from the great plans of the Prairies. We feel your pain guys. Blessings, glad that cold snap has passed by for now. 🥶

[@NarnianRailway]

Do miss that dry crunch crunch sound walking in snow at -20 remember living in a dry cabin outside Fairbanks. Temp is great for freeze drying laundry outside then on a sunny afternoon pry the clothes off the clothesline and bring in thaw. You two easily warm up even the coldest days.

[@canadianjester6118]

Saw -53° in Winnipeg 1996, -65 with the wind chill. -40° seems balmy.

[@tanksouth]

Crunchy

[@rickreese5794]

Perfect 💯🤙🏻😎

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Brrrrrrrr!! I have lived up in cold country..now ...I'm in my Villa in Florida!! Kudos to ya'll hardy folks...take care, watch over the Lil animals..n stay safe!!! Thanks for the visit!!!!!!! ❄️🥶🦊🧙‍♂️🐺🥶❄️

[@throngcleaver]

-20°C is -4°F. It got colder that that in southern Missouri this Winter. I didn't like it. 🥶 For those that don't know, you can just Google -20c to f or vice versa, to do the conversion quickly. -40 is the same in C and F.

[@heribertorodriguez3968]

Que bonito se ve el lugar con la. Nieve auque es muy frío se disfruta el momento saludos a toda la familia

[@famtube007]

I appreciate you two. Be safe, had -20 or so in Kansas a month ago with bunch of snow and drift around our homestead. We were totally snow bound so can relate to ya'll some.

[@podegenst0ner303]

Another great video today

[@user-pm9cm6ye4n]

When it's Frickin Freezin, It's time for hot hands hand warmers They won't heat up out in the cold You've got to start them heating inside the house Put them on both ears held in place by your knit cap One large 18 hour patch on the back of your neck between your shoulders. Held in place by a well tied scarf. One in the palm of both hands and 2 boot warmers It won't be Frickin Freezin after that. Of course an electric vest like the ones they sell on eBay would be the show stopper With the vest and the Hot hands you will feel like it's 22F -5.5C

[@annwithaplan9766]

Wow, that's some good trail cam footage. Man, I can't take anything below 45o F.

[@redtailwoods]

Just found your channel - looks chilly! It's a toasty 30F here in Idaho, but watching your video makes me feel colder. Think it's time to go fire up the wood stove!

[@figelski1]

I can’t imaging your drone flying for very long in that chill…

[@gizliliman1]

thanks for the video guys.

[@CalebMayfieldMHF]

It didn't get that cold this year, but the last day of deer season I dropped 2, and it was -7 F. With the wind, it was cold enough that the blood was freezing to the knife blade and I could only field dress one deer before having to hike back to the house and thaw the knife. Then the tractor wouldn't start, so my wife and I loaded them in a garden cart, she pushed and I pulled, and we eventually got back to the house. We will remember that one.

[@seasonedseasons]

i enjoy the word between the 25's ... too cold past -25 and getting to warm past +25....

[@heresmytake2782]

Burrrrr That's tree crackin weather

[@gf3803]

Wow, your next video was supposed to be that wood gasifier working, that was a month ago, so I'm guessing that thing did NOT work as advertised? Glad you did that video, we were so close to buying one from that guy and then we saw your video and decided to wait to see how it worked for you guy. If you guys can't get it to work, we definitely wouldn't be able to.

[@Gridlessness]

Part 2 is coming soon!

[@harmy46]

Its bloody hot over here 32 c perfect weather lol 🥶🥶🥶

[@user-jg2uc2my4i]

I cannot believe you could fly your drone in that low of temperature... amazing little machines.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

We made -30F here in Northwestern Wyoming... and yeah, that'll frost your nuggets.

[@archangel20031]

Could your family make a video where they go over the DEEP WINTER -40° type of clothing, like boots, gloves, face protection, like, everything. I also watch a couple in Alaska and they do not seem interested in doing one on DEEP WINTER -40° type of clothing.

[@blackberrythorns]

begin with wool long johns and socks and keep adding layers of wool.

[@scottvanheulen8338]

I once went into northern Canada in November with my brother to look at a property near a gold mine. -50 F by day, -70 F\ at night. The hotel we stayed at put a blanket over our car and heaters under the engine. LOL

[@mickellis8747]

My son lives in Montreal and cans beer for a living. During the winter when they go north around Quebec they work in a cool room because it's warmer than outside.

[@thekeisarion3119]

Great content God bless

[@timtv2826]

It's been a warm winter for us so far. We had about 10 days of sub zero temps but it's been 30 - 40F the last couple weeks. A walk in the deep cold can be exhilarating if you are bundled up good.

[@TerrieAllred2023]

I had to go put my socks on after watching this. Y'all made my toes cold. Much love from North Carolina :)

[@stormmountain2521]

I forgot what cold winter is, I don't have to deal with it anymore. Great video

Save energy and snuggle. Stay safe out there. Peace

[@Spool-Stead]

I love y'alls videos! I cant live this way, so ill gladly live it through y'all

[@sporranheid]

Beautiful. Thankful for the stoves and big pile of firewood, I reckon. Do the girls still stay in their tiny home? Didn't think it had a stove, so I would guess, no. Be well and warm. 🔥🙏🏻

[@waterofsouls7639]

the reflection in the horse's eye is cool!

[@bc30cal99]

Greetings from the land of Blaze King, thanks for the video from the north country. We actually hit -25° one night during that little cold snap, which might damage some of the grape vines, which would make this the second year in a row for frost damage. As a former Saskatchewan resident, I don't miss those cold numbers much at all. Stay well.

[@frederickmoller]

Balmy weather in Yakutsk Russia a city of over 282, 000 pop. where it gets under -80 degree F and school children are kept home school when it gets below -60 fahrenheit!

Yup thats cold... my cousin lives in Alaska and is racing in the iditarod...was -49 Fahrenheit at the start...i love the cold but only until i get to into my ice fishing shanty...😂

It was super cold up here in North East BC for a couple of weeks. But that blue sky makes it so worth it! Great trail cam footage!

[@denisehaley9271]

Stay safe and warm guys ❤ hope it warms up some soon for ya's.

[@MikeSiemens88]

Fahrenheit & Celsius scales meet at -40. Nice Elk & Moose! I spent 10 years of my young adult life in a wonderful community named Cold Lake. Why is it named that? Funny you should ask..... -40C not uncommon for extended periods. From early January thru to end February you could count on deep freeze temperatures -20C. The lake is a good size & I recall one summer there was still a chunk of ice floating around in June. 8 months of winter & 4 months of poor sledding haha. Many clear sunny days helped one get through it with half a smile. ;)

[@1osmosiss]

I’m Australian my wife’s Russian, December 2015 I went from Australia 36 degC to Moscow Russia -31 degC, 67 deg of difference.

[@paulwilliams2875]

Would love to experience that kind of weather like that looks magical & beautiful we never get whether like that you in the uk some people say the cold keep you healthy not sure if it is ture or not never seen a Moose animal close up in person just can not afford a holiday for a week I know this is a bit irreverent wish you the best & May goodness of man be with you.

-40 C should only be enjoyed from my lanai located here in Florida, watching your channel...lol 😂😅 Love the SpyPoint camera footage though, that'd be the reason I'd be there. Oh, and a beautiful Canadian lady.😊 Cellular cameras are great in most instances, I can check them in 3 other states to see where im going hunting. And most are just a few dollars to the cell plan. Love what ya'll are doing ❤

I seen food on the trail cam's. Yum

[@nealmacdonald8191]

[@Mr.S7R4WM4N]

I think it only got to like -25f here in the Midwest but the wind chill makes it like -30 but it’s been a worm winter!

[@General_Shenanigans]

Ive slept out in this crap. Still remember my eyelids sticking when i blink.

[@hamdullaerbay5242]

yes it's definitely cold

[@blackberrythorns]

yup -20 can be quite nice, -30 is getting real cold, -40 is proper cold and -50 is brittle cold. thankfully it doesn't last too long usually. fire good.

[@sandrasstitches6108]

“We’ll see if we can get some ❄ cool ❄ video…” 😂😂😂

[@wd9dau]

-40 is the crossover between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
